Continued Investments

Strengthen Brookings Municipal Airport

BY WENDY GIORDANO, GRANT/PROJECT MANAGER

With strong backing from state and federal partners, the City of Brookings is continuing to invest in long-term improvements at the Brookings Municipal Airport (BOK), a vital hub for general aviation, emergency response, and regional economic development on Oregon’s South Coast. Acquired by the City in 2018 from Curry County, the airport supports business and recreational travel, emergency medical transport, and wildﬁre response operations. Its strategic importance led the City to adopt a twenty-Year Airport Master Plan in 2022, outlining a phased approach to improving safety, expanding services, and main-

taining Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) compliance.

The plan was funded through a ninety-percent FAA Airport Improvement Grant, a 9% grant from the Oregon Department of Aviation, and a one-percent local match.

“These investments are critical to keeping our airport safe, efﬁcient, and capable of supporting the South Coast’s transportation and emergency response needs,” said Mayor Isaac Hodges. “We are incredibly grateful for the strong support from our federal and state partners.”

Among recent upgrades was the successful surface sealing of the airport’s taxiway and apron, funded almost entirely by the FAA. Now, the City is preparing to launch a major project to upgrade runway lighting, naviga-

tion systems, and electrical infrastructure. The $1.2 million effort will be funded through ninety-ﬁve-percent federal support via the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and Airport Improvement Program, four-percent from the Oregon Department of Aviation, and just one-percent from the city.

State and federal leaders have voiced strong support for these infrastructure investments.

U.S. Senator Ron Wyden emphasized the value of smaller airports like Brookings: “Federal investments in smaller airports throughout Oregon are a must to enhance quality of life in rural communities. I’m gratiﬁed these resources are heading to our state, and I’ll keep battling for similar investments that support local economies, ensure emer-

gency services during wildﬁres and more.”

Senator Jeff Merkley added that regional airports are essential to both emergency response and economic opportunity: “Oregon’s regional airports serve as vital hubs for our communities and economies, supporting local businesses, connecting travelers to world-class recreational opportunities, and providing essential lifelines during natural disasters.”

Representative Val Hoyle also celebrated the recent investments: “I’m happy to see these improvements being made in Brookings and across Oregon to help improve safety, modernize equipment, and make these airports more viable for residents and tourists alike,” Hoyle said. “These upgrades will grow local

economies by making towns on the South Coast more accessible.

I am grateful.”

In addition to federal support, local leaders also credit longtime state advocate Senator David Brock Smith for his consistent efforts to secure infrastructure investments for Southwest Oregon, including airport and transportation enhancements.

As the City moves forward with its twenty-year Capital Improvement Plan, ofﬁcials remain committed to maintaining the Brookings Municipal Airport as a safe, efﬁcient, and resilient transportation asset that supports public safety, economic vitality, and community well-being across the region.

SWOCC Celebrates 30 Years in Curry County with Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the Curry Campus

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

Southwestern Community College (SWOCC) just reached a milestone at their Curry Campus as they celebrated their 30th anniversary with a ribbon cutting ceremony and sign dedications.

Students, faculty, staff and community members were on hand to share in the history of the building of SWOCC’s Curry Campus as Jill TeVelde Dean of Curry Campus, Workforce Development highlighted the many accomplishments at the college.

“We are here to celebrate two permanent signs that have been installed here on the campus,” said TeVelde, “and to share in the history of the campus.”

Until the signs were installed, there had been nothing, at Highway 101, to designate where the turnoff was to the campus, so the addition of the signage will make it easier for the community to know how to ﬁnd the college.

The sign on Highway 101 reads SWOCC and the sign at the driveway to the parking lot says Curry Campus, two very proud markers for years of accomplishments. The signs were donated by the SWOCC foundation.

“We’re very excited to have the signs as they also mark thirty years that SWOCC has been providing continuing education in Curry County, so that’s a big accomplishment here,” said TeVelde.

Since its inception, 30 years ago, Curry Campus has had 18,789 students from Curry County who have enrolled in 126,817 classes.

Beyond the two-year degree programs, SWOCC also offers adult learning opportunities, certiﬁcates and pathways certiﬁcates of completions for certain programs, nursing education and more.

Farmers Market at a Stand Still

BY LORI STODDARD

The unsafe to occupy sign is still up at the Brookings Harbor Farmer’s Market building and it looks like it will be there for a while.

Property owner Richard Yock applied for a building permit, followed the guidelines provided by Curry County and was approved to construct the building, and after the building’s completion, was told it was not constructed properly under the correct zoning.

“I’ll start by attaching the Law on Farm Stands (ORS 215.213), as this is the law we'll be using. At the very top, you'll see 1 (a): "Churches and cemeteries in conjunction with churches," said York. “I only mention this because the Fire Marshal did not realize commercial churches are allowed as outright use on agricultural land.” There is an existing church on the property.

It started back in 2018, when Yock wanted to provide a roof for the vendors who sold at the Farmer’s Market, so he opened a dialogue with the Curry County Planning Department, talked about the kind of building he would construct, and whether it would be considered a mercantile building or a farmer’s market. That’s an important difference.

In 2019 Planning Director Becky Crockett wrote Yock, by email and stated, according to her research: a “Farmers Market can be in a newly constructed pole building as a permitted outright use in the Agricultural and Fire Districts (AFD) zone. It would require a planning clearance that allows farm stands if: The structures are designed and used for the sale of farm crops or livestock grown on the farm operation and other farm operations in the local area, including the sale of retail incidental items and fee-based activity to promote the sale of farm crops or livestock sold at the farm stand if the annual sale of incidental items and fees from promotional activity do not make up more than twenty-ﬁve percent of the total annual sales of the farm stand and the farm stand does not include structures designed for occupancy as a residence or for activity other than the sale of farm crops or livestock and does not include structures for banquets, public gatherings or public entertainment.”

Yock said, initially said the plan was to construct a

pole building, and emails between Yock and Crockett show they worked together to develop a plan for the building that would be “better” than a pole building, while still adhering to the requirements of a farmers market structure.

In 2021, Covid 19 delayed the process, but Yock still received a permit through Curry County, when the plans were approved for a forty-eight by one-hundred-sixty-foot building, that is zoned as AFD.

That building was noted on the application to be an agricultural building, and that the only condition for approval to construct an agricultural building for use as a farmers’ market was that the structure must adhere to property line setbacks. The permit was signed in July 2021 by Crockett.

Over the next few years, construction began and by mid-2024, the building was being used by vendors that had set up tables, shelves and signage to sell their products.

Then in May of 2025, the State Fire Marshall posted an “unsafe to occupy” notice after an inspection.

Assistant Chief Deputy State Fire Marshal Chad Hawkins explained why by email. He stated: “The main issue at the farmers market, is that it currently has no certificate of occupancy in place as determined by the local building official. During the fire inspection our agency conducted we identified this as a major issue as this is a heavily frequented venue by members of the public that lacked fire safety features, we would normally see in a building of this type. The inspection also revealed that this building was being occupied beyond what was incorrectly determined to be an Agricultural Exempt Structure.

Pole barns can be considered exempt from some codes if the buildings are used for agriculture purposes and are placed on parcels that are considered Exclusive Farm Use (EFU). They are typically used for functions that directly relate to the farming of that speciﬁc property the pole barn sits on (i.e. equipment storage, crop storage).

In this case, they were incorrectly identiﬁed as Agricultural Exempt and thus never applied through their local building department to receive an occupancy classiﬁcation

and certificate of occupancy, which would have confirmed the building complies with all relevant building codes, regulations, and ensuring the building is safe (including all appropriate fire and life safety systems). We have since referred them to the local building official to remedy the situation as fire officials only inspect to maintain buildings as they were approved by the building official ie; fire suppression systems, electrical, etc.

Based on the laws and applicable codes this building should have undergone a complete review by the building department with the proper permits issued and a certiﬁcate of occupancy issued upon ﬁnal completion in order to use and occupy the building.”

Yock believes he oper-

ated within the law, that he built an agricultural building, permitted by the county, on agricultural land.

“The structures are designed and used for the sale of farm crops or livestock grown on the farm operation, or grown on the farm operation and other farm operations in the local agricultural area, including the sale of retail incidental items and feebased activity to promote the sale of farm crops or livestock sold at the farm stand if the annual sale of incidental items and fees from promotional activity do not make up more than twenty-ﬁve percent of the total annual sales of the farm stand.” Yock said

“We addressed this by instructing our certiﬁed engineering ﬁrm to design the Farmers Market (i.e.,

Farm Stand) as an agricultural building (Pole Barn). The clearance form signed by Crockett shows approval for an Agricultural Exempt Building, meeting the requirement and prohibition against the building being designed or used for any other purpose.

The Curry County and State Fire Marshal's ofﬁce wants this to be permitted as a Mercantile (like Fred Meyer, Safeway or Albertsons, etc.). We believe this would put us in direct violation of the law's prohibition and would also require more of us than most other markets.”

Overall, the use of the building, regardless of the type or design of the building, does not fall within the deﬁned allowances in the exemption of agricultural buildings because the structure is used by more

than ten people, and is used by the public.

“I do hope this mess gets resolved soon. We are all losing income. It has been tough for a lot of my vendors. The ones I've spoken to have all found sales down dramatically,” said Linda Stimson, who manages the Farmer’s Market.

“I rent the building from Richard and as we can't use the building he hasn't asked for rent. A lot of the vendors for various reasons can't do outside. My personal sales are also down. I, as we all are feeling very down, this is the height of the season. A lot of my vendors rely on summer sales to make it through the year.”

As of this printing, no resolution has been found.

What Next: Farmer’s Market Manager Linda Stimson (l) and property owner Richard Yock await the final decision for the fate of the building opening once again.

On-Going Work: The work that needed to be completed, to come up to code, has been finished.

A Tsunami of Love & Hope Hits Gold Beach

and

It was another busy day in December 2024 for Val MacGillivary who was directing a Christmas play for The Ellensburg Theater’s upcoming production. The mood was a little tense with the holidays fast approaching and our little community just went through a rare Tsunami warning and evacuation. It was dress rehearsal night, and a woman took a seat to watch and appreciate a warm environment. She didn’t have a regular place to call home; home is where she can ﬁnd a safe place to lay her head at night. Her attendance at the rehearsal sparked a casual conversation that blossomed into an idea for a community project that is quickly growing into

a project of giving and warmth.

Starting a conversation with someone you don’t know can be so challenging, but that didn’t seem to be a problem for MacGillivary.

MacGillivary learned about the lady’s living situation and inquired if she had been evacuated due to the tsunami warning. She had. MacGillivary was concerned if she had lost any of her belongings due to the evacuation, then asked one simple question: “What is the greatest need for people in your situation?” With an instant response of “blankets”, came an ignition of memories and ideas.

When MacGillivary lived in Canada there was a program called “Blankets for Canada”, where individuals would knit or crochet squares that would be assembled into blankets and given to those in need. She knew there were similar programs in the United States, but why go big when you can stay small and do big thing, and with that came the passion to start a similar program in Gold Beach.

Through friends and acquaintances, MacGil-

livary quickly gathered a strong start to give this idea wings. One person had all kinds of yarn they were willing to donate, another gave plastic bins for storage, the Gold Beach Community Center offered a home base to work and store the projects and a growing group that helped to make each square with love and hope. There are people who make their squares at home and bring them down or others who meet to work on their own projects and just enjoy some social

time. The ﬁrst beautiful blanket was completed. MacGillivary plans to present the blanket to the lady that gave her the incredible inspiration.

Without all the help and support, this project would not have come to life. Help make a difference in our amazing community. Donations of yarn or money for supplies are always welcome.

Curry County Legal Counsel

Amidst Alleged Harassment and Discrimination Claims

BY LINDA LEE Curry Coastal Pilot

Curry County Legal Counsel Ted Fitzgerald is facing serious accusations of retaliation, harassment and gender discrimination, prompting a request for an independent investigation into his conduct. The investigation is ongoing, but the claims assert that Curry County itself may also be liable.

The allegations are being put forth by Curry County Assessor Kiley Wegner. She and her attorney have ﬁled a Tort Claim that outlines a detailed timeline of alleged events that took place from April of 2024 to January of 2025 where Wegner asserts Fitzgerald repeatedly overstepped his authority and engaged in a pattern of inappropriate behavior.

Benjamin B. Nolan, age 93, passed away in Brookings, Oregon on April 26, 2025.

A retired civil engineer and Public Works Director of Newport Beach, California for 33 years, he played an important role in the development of the city during his tenure.

A gentle and generous man, Ben’s legacy of kindness and support will continue to beneﬁt our community in years to come. He will be deeply missed.

Fitzgerald made comments to her that were unsuitable for the work environment and that it continued for nearly eight months.

The alleged array of insensitive remarks, from Fitzgerald to Wegner, continued during her interactions with him. According to Wegner, Fitzgerald went so far as to insinuate that he was the father of her young child when one day he left a container of blueberries on her desk,

stating, "I’m just looking out for my ‘little Ted’".

The claims further detail instances where Fitzgerald allegedly undermined Wegner's authority and retaliated against her for advocating for her staff.

The situation came to a head in December of 2024, when Wegner publicly spoke out at a board of commissioners meeting against an agenda item to approve a long-term contract for Ms. Wolf, which

Fitzgerald had previously supported.

The ongoing concerns include allegations that Fitzgerald consistently makes demands outside his authority as Curry County Legal Counsel and that he may treat other department heads, and women, with similar disdain as well as intimidating other employees.

Oregon Launches New Program to Streamline Recycling Statewide

Recycling across Oregon is about to change, thanks to a new effort to simplify and streamline the process for every part of the state, to include Curry County.

RecycleOn Oregon to bring an upgraded recycling system, more services and better information to help more Oregonians recycle right and reduce waste.

The RecycleOn Oregon campaign marks the start of a multi-year transformation that will expand access to recycling, reduce confusion around what can be recycled and help keep more materials out of landfills. Backed by the state’s Recycling Modernization Act, that officially launched last week, this is the biggest update Oregon’s recycling system has seen in decades.

Oregon is taking bold steps to create a more effective and accessible recycling system through the Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (RMA), a groundbreaking law designed to expand access to recycling, reduce contamination and ensure producers take greater responsibility for the materials they create.

This has broad implications for how Oregonians, from urban to rural, who will interact with the recycling system in the months and years ahead.

This month, Oregon is starting to roll out a major statewide initiative to expand access to recycling and bring greater

clarity and consistency to communities across the state. Backed by the Plastic Pollution and Recycling Modernization Act (RMA), RecycleOn Oregon is a new public awareness campaign that will help Oregonians stay informed, recycle correctly and prepare for the most significant recycling system upgrade the state has seen in decades.

The RMA, passed by the Oregon Legislature in 2021, brings together brands that make and sell products in paper and packaging, local governments and recycling companies to modernize how materials are collected, sorted and recycled. It establishes a shared responsibility model where brands will begin helping fund upgrades to Oregon’s recycling infrastructure with changes rolling out now and continuing over the next few years.

To lead implementation of this work, the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) selected Circular Action Alliance (CAA), a nonprofit Producer Responsibility Organization, an entity that helps brands meet recycling and waste reduction requirements. CAA is leading the RecycleOn Oregon campaign and is working with local partners to help communities prepare for the changes ahead.

“Oregonians have always taken recycling seriously, but until now, the system hasn’t always

made it easy to do the right thing,” said Kim Holmes, Oregon Executive Director at CAA. “RecycleOn Oregon aims to simplify recycling across the state. Over the next few years Oregonians will have access to clearer information, more consistent services and a stronger system that reduces waste and keeps more materials out of the landfill.”

Oregon currently generates an estimated 2.2 million pounds of recyclable material each day that never gets recycled, largely due to limited access to recycling services, gaps in infrastructure or confusion about what can be recycled. RecycleOn Oregon aims to address these challenges through targeted investments and statewide coordination.

Over the next few years, key improvements will include:

• Moving toward a single statewide recycling list so that Oregonians, whether urban or rural, can recycle the same core materials.

• Expanded access to recycling services, including curbside recycling for more than 150,000 additional households and nearly 100 new recycling trucks to support collection.

• Updated recycling education with clear, consistent instructions on what can and cannot go in home and business recycling bins.

• New RecycleOn Centers opening in phases through 2027 will provide drop-off options for materials that don’t belong in recycling bins, like plastic bags, plastic lids and other tricky-to-sort items.

Starting this month, some Oregonians will see immediate changes to

what’s accepted in their home or business recycling bins. Others, particularly in the Portland Metro area, will notice little difference at first.

Over time, updates will roll out statewide, with the goal of ninety-five percent of Oregonians living within 15 miles of a RecycleOn Center by the end of 2027. Additionally, new investments will upgrade recycling sorting facilities and improve transportation from rural areas, helping more collected materials reach the markets where they can become new products.

To help residents and businesses navigate this transition, local governments and recycling providers will also share timely and area-specific updates.

Recycling plays an important role in conserving natural resources, reducing pollution and supporting

local jobs, and more than eighty percent of Oregonians say it’s important. These updates help turn that belief into real impact by making recycling easier, more accessible and ultimately more effective. RecycleOn Oregon is the statewide campaign created by Circular Action Alliance (CAA) with help from local governments, service providers, and community members to help Oregonians understand, engage with and navigate these changes. CAA is leading education and outreach efforts to help local governments and service providers prepare communities for the upcoming updates, which start to take effect July 2025.

Hoyle, Wyden, Merkley: Federal Disaster Relief

Coming to Southern Oregon Flooding Recovery

From the oregon Delegation

EUGENE, OR – Ore-

gon’s U.S. Representative Val Hoyle (OR-04) and U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley welcome the approval of Oregon Governor Tina Kotek’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) in response to devastating flooding and other damaging weather-related events that severely impacted Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties in March.

The wide-ranging weather between March 13 and March 20, 2025 triggered several incidents from the South Coast to Eastern Oregon, as warm rains led to rapid snowmelt that contributed to severe runoff and erosion. Three rivers reached major flood levels, and wind gusts of

over 45 miles per hour caused power outages and blocked roads.

To help impacted communities recover from this disaster, the Oregon lawmakers wrote a letter to the White House in support of the Governor’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration. President Trump granted her request for Public Assistance (PA) for Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties.

“The impacts the severe flooding had on both the physical and social infrastructure in Southern Oregon have been devastating,” said the Oregon lawmakers. “We are grateful the President saw the urgency and immense need of the Governor’s request for federal aid for Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties. This assistance we supported is critical to ensure state, local, and

Tribal governments have federal resources needed to help Oregonians recover from this destructive natural disaster.”

The Major Disaster Declaration in PA approved for Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties now unlocks federal funding

from FEMA for state, Tribal, and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations on a cost-sharing basis to address damages sustained from flooding, landslides, mudslides, and other impacts during the storms.

The Oregon lawmakers’ request for FEMA to provide support to eligible individuals and households in Coos, Curry, and Douglas counties through the Individual Assistance (IA) program remains under review. Additionally, the White House is still weighing the Oregon lawmakers’ request to make the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) available to help communities in the three countries rebuild in a way that mitigates future disaster losses.
