The Gold Beach City Council passed a

resolution to put a fuel tax on the ballot at a well-attended meeting on Feb. 3. The coun-cil also discussed the road diet reconfiguration of U.S.

Highway 101 through town and pondered code amend-ments restricting short-term rentals in residential zones.

The fuel tax would fund necessary repairs of city-owned streets. To get the measure on the upcoming May primary election bal-lot, the council needed to

approve the resolution at the Feb. 3 meeting.

The fuel tax failed in a previous election held in Nov. 2018, despite the coun-cil having received over-whelming citizen input about preferring a fuel tax over an additional monthly fee added to water and sewer bills.

Comments on the survey indicated citizens preferred tourists share some of the road repair burdens.

The fuel tax would be col-lected by motor vehicle fuel dealers from customers and would add approximately a penny per gallon to the cost. The resolution passed

unanimously, with councilor Anthony Pagano absent.

Road DietOn the topic of the road

diet, the only citizen com-ment came from Grady Grant of Gold Beach, who voiced support for slowing traffic down through town.

“I bike through town with my daughter and it’s terribly unsafe as is,” he said.

Mayor Karl Popoff started the council discussion of the road diet off by noting that he had received an email

Curry County Commis-sioner Court Boice has

decided to run for a second term for Position 3. The pa-perwork and fee of $50 were filed on Jan. 21. To date, Boice is the only candidate who has filed for Position 3.

Boice first ran for and won the position after David Brock Smith was elected to the Or-egon State Legislature.

“He called me up and said, ‘You need to run for commis-sioner,’” Boice said.

“Then I got elected, and I’ve never forgiven him,” he teased. “I’m running again because who else is going to do it? Who else is going to take the pressure of this job? It’s tremendous. Now that I’ve

been in for three years, I’m starting to find my footing a little bit. I’m really energized to do another four years.”

Boice has joined an alli-ance of commissioners from neighboring counties (Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Douglas), confers often with state and federal agencies, and serves on numerous boards and commit-tees.

“I’ve attended all these boards that nobody else would do,” he said. “In my opinion, they are so important.”

He attends a roster of board meetings that numbers more than 20 organizations.

First month of Dungeness crabbing disappoints

Jessica Goddard and Brian Williams Staff Writers

The Dungeness Crabbing season is off to a slow start in Brookings and

Crescent City, Calif., this year and the recent turbulent weather has only complicated mat-ters.

“We’ve had a lot of bad weather, not too many days out fishing,” said Russ Burkman, owner of Pacific Ocean Harvesters in Brook-ings.

But what is being caught “the quality is awesome. It has been really, really good,” Burkman said.

Fishermen were anxious to begin crab fishing when the season opened on Dec. 31, after being delayed twice due to the crab quality. So far, the season has been disap-pointing, yielding a low overall poundage of crabs, according to Crescent City Harbor Commissioner Rick Shepherd and Burkman.

It is not the worst year Crescent City and Brookings has seen, but it’s certainly not the best.

Brian Scott Gallery is hosting its second Winter Warmer art event from 4 to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8.

This month Judy and Dave Howell are the featured artists. Dave’s watercolors grace the gallery walls and Judy will be showcasing her stained-glass and mosaic artwork for the first time.

Dave built a catamaran, the Freebird, and he and Judy traveled the world for 10 years, painting and creating as they went along, inspired by the beauty of the oceans, the colors, sunrises and sunsets, and the wonder-ful people and villages they

encountered along the way. Their art reflects their jour-ney, highlighting their love of travel combined with their love of art.

Judy and Dave will speak to this with a presentation of Dave’s watercolors and Judy’s stained glass, mosaics and shell art, including two of her watercolors painted during their journey.

They will incorporate art and their travels into a won-derful narrative of a journey of a lifetime.

Judy and Dave retired in 2001 and now reside in Brookings. As Judy pro-claims, “we have a studio in

our home that gives us both light and space. It is a safe-haven area for us and our cat, Girlie.”

Join Brian Scott Gallery in welcoming these two artists and sampling some refresh-ments and wine. Music will be provided by Robert Kosslyn.

Brian Scott Gallery is located at 515 Chetco Ave. in Brookings. For more in-formation on this, our Brown Bag Thursdays, or any of the many events at the gallery, call 541-412-8687.

BHSD restores Feb. 14 as regular school dayThe Brookings-Harbor School

District Board of Directors restored the originally adopted 2019-2020 aca-demic calendar at a special meeting on Monday, Feb. 3. This action restores Friday, Feb. 14, to a regular school day with classes in session for all students at Brookings-Harbor High School, Azalea Middle School, and Kalmiopsis Elemen-

tary School.Previously, at a regular school board

meeting on Jan. 15, the board approved a calendar change to provide a new professional development day opportu-nity for teachers and staff. The proposed schedule for the in-service day included the “Rethink Poverty” simulation with a regional training firm in the morning

and a slate of other afternoon training sessions led by BHSD staff.

The district will work with the board, school administrators and the Brook-ings-Harbor Education Association to explore future dates or opportunities to reschedule and experience these training opportunities

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s public charge rule, which can make it more difficult for immi-grants to receive green cards, does not apply to the Oregon Health Insurance Market-place.

“You don’t need to give up your coverage,’” said Chiqui Flowers, Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace administrator. The Market-place is a state-level partner to HealthCare.gov that helps people who don’t have health insurance through work or other programs purchase insurance, in many cases with a subsidy.

“For the more than 100,000 Oregonians who signed up

for 2020 coverage during the open enrollment period through HealthCare.gov, their tax credits that help lower their monthly premiums are not affected by the public charge rule,” she said.

A ruling by the Supreme Court on Monday, Jan. 27, lifted an injunction on the public charge rule. If someone is determined to be a public charge, it is more difficult to get a green card. The new rule expands the benefits that may be considered in determining a public charge.

The public charge rule was expanded to include benefits such as food stamps; Med-icaid-funded long-term care; Section 8 rental assistance

and subsidized housing; non-emergency Oregon Health Plan (i.e., Medicaid) cover-age for non-pregnant adults 21 and older; and federal, state, or local cash assistance programs.

“This may be confusing for some Oregonians. We want to make sure that they don’t give up their health insurance in this confusion,” Flowers said. “Applying for coverage and using tax credits are not included in the public charge rule.”

For 2020, eligible Orego-nians received at least $450 in tax credits every month to apply towards their monthly premiums.

“Helping Oregonians find affordable insurance helps them live better, healthier lives and it benefits Oregon in cost savings and more effi-cient use of resources. Confu-sion about this issue could be harmful on many levels,” said Flowers.

Public charge rule will not affect Oregonians receiving health subsidy

DEAR ABBY

SUPER CROSSWORD

Sudoku and Crossword answers on page B5

Man is reluctant to share memories of his late father

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of two years and I recently moved in together. When we first met, he let me know he had lost his father to cancer a few years prior. While I know a little about his father, it is mostly superficial.

As our relationship has progressed -- moving in, talking about our future -- I long to know more about his dad. What kind of a father and husband was he? What special memories does my boyfriend have of spending time with him? However, when I ask questions, I get succinct answers with no elaboration. If I ask more than one question at a time, I feel like I’m pulling teeth, so I just drop it. When I asked if he’s uncomfortable talking about it, he says it’s fine, but I still know next to nothing.

The only time he brings up his dad is around the time of his dad’s birthday, the anniversary of his death or the time when they found out about his prognosis. At those times he is clearly grieving. I don’t want to cause my boyfriend more pain, and I

worry that I’m being insensi-tive by asking him to talk about it. Yet, if we are going to start a life together and be a family one day, I want to know about his father. -- CURIOUS IN NEW YORK

DEAR CURIOUS: Your boyfriend may not want to discuss his relationship with his father because the subject is painful, either because of his death or because they were not close. If you want more details, you might have better luck asking your boyfriend’s mother or his siblings, if he has any. Because the subject clearly makes him uncomfortable, back off.

DEAR ABBY: I don’t smoke, but my mother and fiancee are chain smokers. This is particularly annoy-ing when the three of us eat together because they always light up during the meal. For example, they’ll almost always have a cigarette after the salad, another before the dessert and then two or three cigarettes afterward. It ruins the meal for me.

I’m really disappointed in my fiancee, who seems to have forgotten her prom-

ise to quit smoking before our wedding day. Is there anything I can do about their smoking at the dinner table? And should I remind my fiancee about her promise to give up cigarettes and be a smoke-free bride? -- AN-NOYED IN ALABAMA

DEAR ANNOYED: Your mother and your fiancee are nicotine addicts. That they cannot get through a meal without lighting at least three cigarettes is alarming. No rule of etiquette dic-tates that you must tolerate secondhand smoke while you are trying to enjoy your dinner. If they need a fix, they should be considerate enough to excuse themselves from the table to indulge.

On a slightly different, but equally important, subject, your fiancee has not “for-gotten” her promise to give up cigarettes before your wedding. She’s ignoring it, and you haven’t called her on it. Please do. If you marry her, you will be living in a tobacco haze for the rest of her life, which could have a negative effect on your -- and your children’s -- health in the future. Don’t say you weren’t warned.

from Nancy Sue Rose of Gold Beach who had compiled comments by residents of Port Orford. That city recently reconfigured their highway from 4 lanes to 3, similar to the plan being discussed for Gold Beach. The comments indicated people were mostly happy, other than the appear-ance of the road.

Popoff admitted he is a jaywalker because of people who fail to stop for pedestri-ans in crosswalks, especially when some cars have stopped and other cars just swerve around them, assuming the car is stopped to make a turn. “I’ve been within a few feet of being clobbered several times,” he said. “That is a huge safety problem. That is the first thing we always look at is the safety of citizens.”

Looking at accident data provided by ODOT, Popoff noted, “The preponderance of the accidents are either rear-ending or turning maneuvers. How would rear-ending and turning maneuvers be affected if we went down to 2 lanes with a turn lane?”

“It should go down because the center lane is a turn lane, whereas now we

don’t have turn lanes,” said councilor Larry Brennan. After the discussion, Mayor Popoff appointed Brennan and councilor Summer Mat-teson to work as a committee to follow up with Gold Beach Main Street, a proponent of traffic reconfiguration, and bring citizen and staff concerns to ODOT to relieve some of the workload from city administrator Jodi Fritts.

Addressing the local work-force housing shortage is the driving force behind limiting the number of vacation rentals located in residential zones of the city. Most of the vaca-tion rentals in Gold Beach are not affected because they are located in commercial zones, which allow vacation rentals as an outright use. The proposal being considered by the council would limit the total number of vacation rent-als to 10 in residential-zoned neighborhoods. Currently, out of 30 total vacation rentals registered in the city, 11 units are in residential zones.

Vacation rentals that are in the residential zones on the east side or in Hunter Creek do not rent as often as those with a view or ocean access located on the west side of the highway in commercial zones, according to Fritts.

The city would not lose much in lodging tax revenue, and the city would potentially

benefit more by having more available workforce housing. “What we want are long-term rentals or ‘good’ vacation rentals,” Kaufman said.

The draft ordinance still needs some clarifications and revisions, which will come back to the next council meet-ing.

Other topics discussed:• Mayor Popoff let the

audience know that Budget, Planning and the Urban Re-newal Advisory committees have vacancies and are look-ing for volunteers to serve on them.

• Lyndsey Dixon updated the council on her activities with Gold Beach Main Street.

• Gary Becker from the

U.S. Census announced that a number of temporary jobs are available with the 2020 Census.

• David Barnes suggested that committees with vacan-cies might find people to fill them if the qualifications were broadened beyond required residency within the city limits. Barnes lives inside the urban growth boundary and would serve on a committee if allowed.

The next Gold Beach City Council meeting is scheduled for March 9 at 6:30 p.m., the second Monday, of the month due to several scheduling conflicts for the first Monday.

homeless and needed help with food, or they were just a family that needed help. Then we went ‘shopping.’

“That was quite an experience because she got to explain to us how everything worked,” Hamilton said.

They learned that over the summer, the food bank served more than 3,000 children in the community with 250 snack packs delivered each week over 12 weeks. Winebarger said they partner with the Brookings-Harbor High School’s food program, which expanded their reach. The high school has a bus that goes out into the community, with four different stops

in Brookings and Harbor to bring the food to where the kids are, instead of them having to make their way to either the high school or the food bank. The addition of the bus increased the number of children this past year by 1,000 compared to the previous year’s 2,000 children.

“The kids in our group were like ‘Those are my friends? You mean the friends in my class had to come here? Wow, the people in my class, they’re hungry?’ What hit my daugh-ter Eden was that could be some of the kids’ meals over the entire weekend — a couple of granola bars and this and that,” Hamilton said, “because the only food they get is what the school gives them.”

“The food bank has some very large re-frigeration units, and try to do as much fresh food as they can. As much as they like canned donations and all the nonperishables, they do have a lot of donations that are perishable and

try to get as much of that as they can,” she said. “The electric bill gets quite expensive. To keep them open, they need to pay that electric bill.”

The electric bill fluctuates between $400-$500 each month, depending on the month, according to Winebarger.

One of the other requirements for the cub scouts is to do a money-raising service project for the community. The cub scouts set the goal of trying to at least pay one of the electric bills for them. That’s when they came up with the idea to do photos with Santa.

“We didn’t want to charge a lot of money,” Hamilton said. “We didn’t want to do a big package. We didn’t want to make it expensive. We wanted to make it really inexpensive so the people who do go to the food bank could afford to do it. And if they couldn’t, they had a little code word that they could give us, and we could just do the pictures for them.

“The pictures were $5. People brought their pets for photos with Santa. We had pictures of kids with Santa and families with Santa. We had adults do pictures with Santa.”

The kids did everything, Hamilton said. They cleaned Scout Hall. They made all of the ornaments on the tree. They decorated every-thing themselves. They even scrubbed toilets in the bathrooms.

The photographer was Stacy Skaggs, who donated all of her time.

“She didn’t charge us a cent, which really helped,” Hamilton said. “The generosity from the community and all the parents’ help, I was just overwhelmed and blown away by it. It has really become family scouting.

“The kids did the work cheerfully. I think the kids understanding what it was for was a big deal. Pam having the children in really ignited this fire.”

New York Times tries to sabotage President Trump

Dear Editor:Clearly, the New York

Times attempted to sabotage President Donald J. Trump’s impeachment defense team when it printed the first leaked story from John Bolton’s yet-to-be published book.

This on the day that

Trump’s team began its rebut-tal.

Then The Times printed a second leaked story on the day the Senate was to vote on witness testimony, obviously to manipulate a yes vote.

I have yet to hear a senator, from either party, criticize the New York Times for this stunt.

say the Republicans are pav-ing the way to a complete demolishing of the U.S.!

My age of 21 took me to my first election of Nixon and Kennedy, a time when politicians seemed to work together. My vote went to J.F.K., as one party over another had no meaning for me yet. Both brothers had nice families: Jack fought for his country and Bobby was going to follow him into the White House.

It was after their assassina-tion that I noticed the press moving to the left.

Ted did anything he want-ed to do and the press never said anything. He stopped Robert Bork from becoming a famous judge. While returning from a party, a young woman in the car he was driving died after going off a bridge.

He left the scene and contacted the police 10 hours later. The woman’s family must have gotten millions of dollars to stay quiet.

The press must have felt sorry for Ted, after the loss of his brothers. He should have been exposed by every paper and TV news release, but nothing was said.

It was then that I started to see what a liberal was and what they were doing to our country. Democrats are right about our country going down the drain, but it’s because the press is behind every move they make.

Rush Limbaugh has guided me to the truth. May God be with you, Rush.

As the 2020 political field

is set, the Democratic Party is running on infanticide, open borders, nationalizing corpo-rations, high tax rates for the green new deal, free health-care for illegals, and to pay off millennials’ student loans.

Democrats run on gun control and wink at terrorism. They hate Israel and want to eliminate private health insur-ance.

Thanks to Donald Trump, the Democratic Party has shown that it hates the Ameri-can flag and supports illegal immigration over American citizens. Trump has them off balance, but the press wants you to believe the opposite. It’s a marketing miracle.

For 50 years, Democrats concealed their true identity while lying about conserva-tives. In three years, Trump has made them admit to their wrongful lies.

My personal belief is that Trump will drain the swamp so deep that the Democratic Party may not survive.

I know we have more conservatives in Curry County than liberals, but your vote is your child’s future. Don’t waste it.

Americans will again stand up

Dear Editor:I got a genuine chuckle out

of the letter whose author had so wholeheartedly swallowed President Donald J. Trump’s delusional self-comparison to the innocents condemned at the Salem witch trials three and a quarter centuries ago.

Of course, no one was

“sent to the stake to burn” — the accused were hanged — but facts don’t matter, right?

Trump is no persecuted young woman victimized by religious zealots. His miscon-duct, described by even his own supporters as “inappro-priate” and “improper,” was painstakingly detailed by his own appointed officials in the House hearings and confirmed by the few documents allowed to leak out.

As to the impeachment itself, despite the predeter-mined outcome and the suc-cessful Republican rigging to prevent witness testimony and documentary evidence, it has served its purpose by causing the White House’s obstructive dam to start leaking.

The Bolton book will trigger it into an eventual flood of revelations about the depth and breadth of Trump’s corruption, and the feckless cowardice of the congres-sional Republicans in abetting the obstruction for their own political purposes, for which history will judge them harshly.

That same history tells us that American honor, ideals and principles — of which Trump is bereft — eventu-ally win out over political malfeasance.

Even in an election likely to be subject to even more sabotage by Trump’s Russian allies than the last, Americans will again stand up for what this country should be, and remove this President from office.

Once out from under the protection of that office, the man who has stuffed his own company’s coffers with millions upon millions of our taxpayer dollars will finally face the multiple corruption,

tax and fraud cases currently awaiting him.

And he will be subject to the uniquely American tradi-tion so many of his closest as-sociates have experienced — the perp walk.The handcuffs await.

Don’t kill the golden goose

Dear Editor:

Has anybody noticed the Democrats could only provide political hacks like Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) to make their case for removing President Donald J. Trump from office?

On the other hand, the Trump team has real lawyers making real legal arguments.

The partisan Democrat, Alan Dershowitz, even said it himself when he pointed out that you do not impeach and remove a President from office just because there are policy differences.

Unemployment is at the lowest rate ever for Blacks, Hispanics and women. Do not kill the golden goose, Demo-crats, just because you are try-ing to protect sacred cows like Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.

Why isn’t Michael Bloom-berg being investigated for his news network being in collusion with the Democratic Party? Even Elizabeth Warren agrees with me on this.

Guest ColumnBy Avery Freauxbischer

Most people aren’t comfortable talking about this. They feel that

to have feelings other than benevolence for the homeless, as they are called, is somehow cruel or meanspirited.

And so, they line up on the side of the oh, well, they’re here, I guess we have to live with it and what can we do.

I’m not an unkind person. I care about people. But this is another thing alto-gether.

I contend that what we’re dealing with here is not always what we’ve been told. I’m here to say that many of those who masquerade as victims are not, in fact, homeless because of circumstances over which they have no control. For many - more than you may think - this is a lifestyle, not a circumstance.

A lifestyle is a choice, a conscious choice; we all make them. Being a victim of circumstance is another matter. It can be more easily remedied.

You cannot remedy someone’s lifestyle choice unless they themselves choose to do so. So why is it our respon-sibility? I submit that other people’s lifestyle choice is not our problem and we should not have to take it on as our duty.

Lifestyle choices are a personal thing. We make choices in life and we live by these choices. That’s how we learn.

Many areas of the country have found themselves besieged. They deal with encampments where they live, at their workplace, all around them. They step around garbage and feces and needles. They put up with destruction of public property. They deal with aggressive panhandling and lewd language.

And they get little or no support from their cities. They’re told they have to allow for it. They’re reminded that these people have rights, and, in many cases, they see their own rights subjugated.

There are those who are somehow driven to homelessness because of abuse or sudden economic hardship. That is a different matter, and those people deserve what help we can give them to get back on their feet. But what of the people who have no intention of lifting themselves up and becoming a produc-tive member of society?

These people aren’t homeless because no one has given them a chance to be otherwise. They are homeless because they have made that lifestyle choice, to not have to work, to live as they please, and to not participate in or contribute to society.

They choose instead to take handouts, to play the victim card, to not live by the rules like the rest of us; to prey on our sympathy; to feed off and take advantage of our innate good nature, our misplaced compassion and our blind vulnerability.

Most of us do not feel that the world owes us a living. These are the good, hard-working people. They work at grocery stores or at gas stations or as housekeepers. They live here, work here and pay their taxes. They do their fair share.

The others stand in the parking lot, with hands reached out, as we reach into our pockets.

There was a time when it was okay to call things for what they are. When peo-ple were drunk and disorderly, when they pilfered and vandalized and loitered and left garbage in their wake and showed no regard for others. They were bums.

It’s time we recognized things for what they are. Brookings doesn’t need more homeless solutions. It needs to let the bums know they are not welcome here.

Avery Freauxbischer is a Brookings resident.

Crescent City for 40 years. In the past, fishermen could

find the crabs closer to the harbor, but this year, the crabs were farther out in the ocean and more difficult to reach. With the King Tide waves and stormy weather this January, mostly larger crabbing boats have been able to brave the elements to pursue their catch.

“Weather has been really bad, so that hurts some of the smaller boats. Some of the

large boats might have a better season because they’ve had been allowed to fish,” Shep-herd said.

Another issue fishermen are facing this year is the price of the crab. Though the price increased slightly this week — most likely for Chinese New Year, a big seafood holiday — it has remained stagnant.

Usually, when crab production, the amount caught, slows down, the price increases to compensate for fewer crabs. It’s a simple supply and demand situation. Yet, this year, for an unknown reason, production has gone down, but the price didn’t spike up with it.

To add to the frustration, the crabs they have been sell-ing have been great quality with a high percentage of meat on them.

“The quality of the crab has been tremendous. Crabs averaged two pounds plus, which is really rare for this area to have that large of crab,” Shepherd said. “[Some] fishermen feel like they should have been worth more money.”

Though the season has not provided the bounty hoped for, only the first month of the sea-son has passed, and fishermen still have a few more months to set their crabbing pots.

Faith ForumBy Paula Broock

Often when the calendar flips over to a “New Year,” people find themselves

making New Year’s resolutions. And, by now, people are looking back to see how many reso-lutions they’ve been able to keep. For many, this looks like items affecting diet, exercise, altering habits. These resolutions are intended to make changes on a personal level. What would it be like, though, if we broadened our scope and resolved to use our lives as a more positive influence for those around us? That’s a resolution that works any time of year.

Resolving to express a little more kind-ness, speak more tenderly, be less judgmental, offer a helping hand more often, share more smiles, more hugs, be more ready to see the good around us, we could change our world just that much more for the better. It’s been said that our lives are our prayer. The apostle Paul gave us a model for this when he spoke to the Philippians (Phil 4:8, 9). He said, “what-soever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”

There’s also inspiration along these lines in a hymn written by Frances R. Havergal which

starts: “Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee. Take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.” Mary Baker Eddy, the Discov-erer and Founder of Christian Science, looked upon this attitude as “brightening this lower sphere with the ways and means of the higher and everlasting harmony” (Miscellany, p. 252).

We don’t need to wait for a particular date on the calendar to see and act with more positive resolve. We really live in a constant state of “nowness.” Every moment is a new “now,” and the apostle John tells us (1 John 3): “Beloved, now are we the sons of God….” In her definition of “year,” Mrs. Eddy writes, “One moment of divine consciousness, or the spiritual understanding of Life and Love [two of her synonyms for God], is a foretaste of eternity.” Living more fully as the beloved children of God, and seeing others in a loving light, is a wonderfully uplifting way to start our day — any day.

ORCCA director Mike Lehman to retire

Jillian WardStaff Writer

The executive director of Oregon Coast Community Action is getting ready to say goodbye to a position he has held since 2013.

“My retirement is about a bunch of things, but mainly it is just time,” Mike Lehman said.

The former state representative stepped into the role of director for the Coos, Curry and Douglas County nonprofit almost seven years ago to the day. Lehman will be step-ping back out of the role on March 4, leaving behind a happier organization of 240 em-ployees and a budget of $11 million, pleased to have seen it accomplish many of its long term projects.

But when he became director, it was in the midst of controversy surrounding financial struggle.

“There was a structure at the time that had two to four family members or close friends working in management positions,” Lehman remembered. “The internal process was ter-rible with lots of negativity. On the previous director’s watch, it was a mess.”

Lehman began the process of fixing ORCCA from the inside out, starting with spending “two years just not being my pre-decessor.”

“Part of that was I’m an open communica-tor,” he said. “When I would go out in the community, people knew my face. I had a meeting with the editor of The World (Clark Walworth) at the time and the paper was difficult on my predecessor (Mary Schoen-Clark). The editor said, ‘This meeting is an incredible difference already.’”

According to Lehman, he suspected that ORCCA’s finances weren’t as bad as they looked since, at the time, there was a lot of turnover in the finance director position before he took charge.

“It was more confusion than bad shape,” he said. “For me, it was a matter of getting it stabilized.”

People began to notice improvement quickly. Lehman recalled one of the old board members visiting him at the LaClair Street office and hearing “raucous laughter” down the hall.

“She said that you’d never have heard

business as an active employer for 35 years. He comes from a family of committed

public servants. Grandfather Allen Boice Sr., served this county from 1930–1948. Histori-cally, he was the longest seated Curry County commissioner. Boice’s father Allen Boice II was the famous Curry County Sheriff in the ’60s and ’70s and an incredibly dedicated lawman. Boice’s first cousin Beverly Clarno formerly served as Oregon Speaker of the

House and returned from retirement to fill the current role of Oregon Secretary of State.

“They all left a tremendous heritage to follow,” he said. “I know our area very well and am grateful to have built strong problem-solving coalitions. I consistently serve 45–55 hours a week, and my diligence has paid off for this county. I’m very optimistic about our future.”

Boice ranked his top three accomplishments over the past term as the South Curry Emer-gency facility, Sudden Oak Death and working with the Governor’s Fire Response Council.

Boice recently traveled to Capitol Hill in D.C., asking only for airfare reimbursement, to lobby for federal changes for wildfire preven-

tion. He has worked hard to protect com-munities from catastrophic fires. During the Klondike Fire near Agness in 2018, Boice was at the incident command center every morning for more than 100 days, reading the reports and welcoming 11 different teams from across the country and around the world for their 14-day assignments.

He serves on the Fire Suppression Commit-tee of the Governor’s Fire Response (Recov-ery and Restoration) Council.

“We are now anticipating up to $200 mil-lion in funds being allocated via the Oregon Department of Forestry and Fire Protective Associations.

“I’m a working, task-oriented commissioner

and face problems head-on,” he said. “Our county has many challenges, and conversely, we have incredible opportunities. I am blessed to be in a position to make a positive differ-ence. My job is to make lives better for our citizens, and my experience is crucial to that process. I wish to continue my success in se-curing funds, positive attention and solid work for Curry County.

“People want accountable, responsible, and transparent service in government. We need to control costs and manage our county well. Serving the public is an honor and a respon-sibility. I’m proud that I have consistently fulfilled the goals I outlined when campaign-ing in 2016.”

that before,” Lehman said. “So, as far as my accom-plishments, my biggest one is staff satisfaction. It is making people feel comfort-able.”

Lehman is also proud that within the last month, OR-CCA has seen two of its long term projects finished. Deer Springs Terrace, supportive housing for homeless veter-ans, had its grand opening in North Bend on Jan. 24.

Then on Feb. 7, ORCCA and South Coast Community Action is holding a grand opening for its $2 million fa-cility remodel for its Brook-ings Head Start location.

“Those were two big proj-ects lingering on my desk when I got here and had lots of ups and downs,” Lehman said. “Getting those accom-plished is huge. I’m proud

and relieved.”But for Lehman, his

biggest passion is helping children in the foster care system. He has been a foster parent for almost 14 years. During his time at ORCCA, which is a network of pro-grams focused on feeding, educating and keeping peo-ple warm, he saw the group FAST become a robust piece of that network.

“One thing I’ve seen is a news piece about a drug bust and 12 kids are removed,” he said. “Those 12 kids go into the foster care system, but then mom gets cleaned up and returns to try and get her kids back. Thing is, you’ve lost all your furnish-ings, your belongings and you can’t get your kids returned to you without a suitable place to live. We did FAST housing where moms, sometimes dads, get visita-tions with children in foster care and slowly transition into the new home ... We have kids with moms and

dads today that wouldn’t be there without this.”

However, in a press release about his departure, it stated that “Lehman was particularly concerned about the slow progress the com-munity has made on building low-cost housing and reduc-ing the number of homeless folks in the area.”

“It really bothers me that we have not done enough to get folks off the streets, particularly families with children and people with disabilities,” Lehman said in the release.

To The World, Lehman added that he’d like to see more local entities figure out how to better serve parents in keeping families together. He pointed to the “surprising number of child removals in the delivery room” after pregnant mothers have used drugs and as a result lose their children.

“I know it hurts and there should be a way to help those moms and give them

a chance to help those kids,” Lehman said. “That is a black mark on this society, on this community.”

Over the past few years, Lehman has also been a guiding force in the home-less discussion. When asked if he will continue that work after he retires from OR-CCA, he says he hopes so.

“What we need to come to realize is we won’t solve the crisis with anything but houses,” Lehman said. “Peo-ple are dying, losing their children and going deeper into crisis without homes. We have to do something now like the encampment at the Methodist Church. That is a ‘now’ solution.”

Though Lehman hopes to continue being part of the homeless conversation after retirement, he said he also wants to give the incom-ing director room to work without them having to look over their shoulder for him. (ORCCA has narrowed its search to three candidates

and held a meet-and-greet Monday night.)

“I will stay engaged in the community somehow,” Lehman promised. “The

staff and community is won-derful … The community has probably given me more than I’ve given back.”
