The first lawsuit has been filed against Pacific Power alleging the utility is at fault for causing the Archie Creek Fire, east of Glide.

Attorney Jeff Mornarich with the law firm Dole Coalwell published a 52-page complaint in Douglas County Circuit Court on Friday.

Plaintiffs are Philip and Cassie Strader along with Tim Goforth and Kathy Kreiter. Mornarich said the two couples own separate parcels of land that were in the path of the fire. The suit seeks $11 million in damages and said the plaintiffs are entitled to double that amount under Oregon law because they claim Pacific Power, “acted with gross negligence or recklessness in causing the Archie Creek Fire”.

The complaint alleges numerous causes of action for why Pacific Power is liable for the damages. It said, “Despite multiple weather and fire hazard warnings indicating severe winds would begin blowing through the area on September 7th, 2020 – and despite widespread knowledge that the area was suffering from critical drought conditions – the Pacific Power Defendants elected not to de-energize their transmission or distribution power lines”. The complaint also alleges that Pacific Power was grossly negligent for re-energizing the electric lines that had been knocked out by the high winds at about 3:30 a.m. on the morning of September 8th. The complaint said about five hours later the utility tried to re-energize those lines, “without first inspecting and removing downed trees and limbs from those lines, thus causing a series of fires in the area of Susan Creek Road and Smith Springs Road”.

The lawsuit is part of “mass action” which means each lawsuit stands on its own as opposed to a class action lawsuit where damages are distributed evenly among multiple plaintiffs.

Dole Coalwell is being assisted by the firms Watts Guerra in San Antonio, Texas and Baker Hostetler in San Francisco, California. The firms had a community meeting last Thursday in Glide. Mornarich said there will definitely be more lawsuits to come, as many people have signed up with the firms. He said the attorneys will need time to analyze each individual case, before additional lawsuits are filed.

The Douglas County Veterans Day Parade will look a bit different this year, due to the need to protect veterans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This year’s event will be a reverse parade, with visitors to the parade driving by in their cars, and the floats and veterans remaining stationary. They’ll be socially distanced and wearing masks.

The parade also has a change of venue this year. While it’s usually held in downtown Roseburg, this year’s parade will be held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds.

One thing that will remain the same this year, however, is the time and date. Just as it is every year, the parade will begin at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, or 11 a.m., Nov. 11.

Douglas County Veterans Day Parade Committee Co-Chair Carol Hunt said she’s happy about the way the new plans have come together, and the main thing is that veterans will be honored.

She said the Douglas County Commissioners and Douglas County Public Health Officer Bob Dannenhoffer helped create the new, COVID-19 safe version of the parade.

“They have absolutely taken that load off of us, and I think it’s going to be fantastic. They have ideas that won’t quit,” she said.

Floats will be staged in the north parking lot and static displays in the west parking lot at the fairgrounds, with bands in the grandstands.

Helicopters will also be at the parade, and will probably remain on the ground.

A flyover will feature U.S. Air Force F-15 Eagle fighter jets from the 173rd Fighter Wing out of Kingsley Field in Klamath Falls.

A flu clinic will also be offered behind the grandstands, and food trucks will be in the racetrack pits.

Face masks will be required for anyone who cannot maintain 6-foot distancing.

This year’s grand marshals are military doctors and nurses. The parade committee has asked that parade entries be decorated to honor them.

The parade will end at 2 p.m.

Application deadline for an entry in the parade is 5 p.m. Oct. 30.

*Opening and Public Safety Update*

The losses many of our neighbors have suffered over the past week are heartbreaking, and the Idleyld Trading Post is committed to helping our community not only to recover, but to come back even stronger. The first step is of course to open our doors again, but we need to be sure it’s absolutely safe for our team and our customers before we can do that. We have some equipment damage we need to get fixed, and there’s a lot of restocking and cleaning that needs to get done. As soon as it’s safe to get back to Idleyld Park we’ll be tackling these tasks with urgency so we can re-open as soon as possible. We can’t provide an exact date, but rest assured we’re eager to start serving you again as soon as it is safe to do so. The way Idleyld Park and Glide have come together to support those most impacted by these fires has been inspiring, and our local businesses and individuals are going to need to continue that support as we recover. The Trading Post will be wholeheartedly engaged in those efforts. Please keep yourselves safe, do not rush to come back before the danger has fully passed, and help your neighbors if you can. It’s what we’ll all be doing as we bounce back together.
