LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

Beach wheelchairs becoming a hit Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

They may look strange, but they have a true purpose. What appear to be devices out of a science fiction movie are actually specially designed wheelchairs to help the disabled navigate outdoor recreation areas in Lincoln City.

“There has been a push in Lincoln City to make the beaches and traveling more accessible to residents and visitors as well,” said Scott Humpert with the Lincoln City Visitors and Convention Bureau. “Lincoln City thrives on the tourist industry and these devices help make all the attractions available on

an even playing field allowing everyone to gain access to everything that we have as a city to offer.”

Humpert said a photo of a person in one of the wheelchairs on the beach has been the most shared story on the Bureau’s Facebook page.

That person is Peggy Hinsey Kancy’s mother.

Kancy shared the families experience with the wheelchair on the Bureau’s Facebook page.

“Our family trip to Lincoln City was made so much better by our use of the Sand Wheelchair,” she wrote.

“Both my mom and my dad had turns getting out on the sand and close to the water.

Everyone wanted to know about the chair. It was quite the conversation starter.”

The Lincoln City Visitors and Convention Bureau has partnered with local businesses to offer the wheelchairs and walkers.

“The businesses store the mobility devices at their locations and we coordinate efforts to let folks know that they are available,” said Humpert.

Currently, only Eleanor’s Undertow Restaurant at 869 SW 51st Street and the Lincoln City Elks Lodge at 2020 NE 22nd Street offer the wheelchairs. A walker

t was never about the money, and that’s a good thing for Kip Ward. One year after opening his new Eventuary center in a former mortuary, business, he says, has been “spotty.”

But by every other measure – as a revitaliza-

tion of a historic property, a gift to the community, a fun creative outlet – the Eventuary has been a resounding success.

“As soon as we were done it was a success because we saved the building... it’s never been about the income,” Ward said.

The events center, located just north of Lincoln

City City Hall, opened last January. Since then, it’s hosted an event or two per month – weddings, private parties, a comedy night and even a divorce ceremony.

“You know, the Anchor (Inn) took six years before it got its stride. So I’m patient and we’re doing something every month, a couple of

somethings, and that’s fine by me,” Ward said.

Saving the structure itself is a huge accomplishment. Documents on the home’s first expansion date back to 1927, but the original cabin home is older

Lincoln City Police arrested an Olympia, Wash. sex offender who they say has been coming to town for years to swim in the Community Center pool with children.

Richard Shay, 55, was arrested at around 9 a.m. Dec. 27 and charged with two counts of Richard unlawfully Shay being in a place where children congregate, a Class A misdemeanor.

Senior Officer Robert Bomar said Shay was first noticed by pool staff eight years ago.

“Back in 2004, this gentleman was frequenting that pool quite often, and he drew some concern because he was putting himself around children,” Bomar said. Shay was reportedly playing tag, and allowing children to

New warming shelter makes quiet debut Jim Fossum The News Guard

Another church has thrown open its doors in helping to fulfill Lincoln City’s ongoing effort to attend to the needy with overnight warming shelters. But organizers of the new Lincoln City Warming Shelter hope to attract more attention after just two people took advantage of its services during its Dec. 17 debut.

“This is a learning experience for all of us, and a

community-wide problem and concern,” said Ken McCormack, director of the new Lincoln City Warming Shelter at the Congregational Church at 1760 N.W. 25th St. “Many of us feel very sad that there are so many people without shelter in a society of such obvious wealth and waste, and many hard-working and honest folks are only a paycheck away from being homeless.”

The warming center, which follows Faith Baptist and Coast Vineyard as churches to recently begin

offering security in the form of a place to stay for the homeless, is designed to serve as many people as possible. It will be open when temperatures drop below freezing and on days when winds are severe. Notification will come through local media, police and social networks.

However, the church fulfilled the needs of just two people— a father and son — on its opening night of Monday, Dec. 17.

Jingle Wheelchair Bell Jog From page A1

COURTESY PHOTO

Jeremy Hill, 26, of Manzanita, was timed in 22.27 to win the Lincoln City Community Center’s Jingle Bell Jog on Dec. 22. Kris Asleson, 24, of Albany, was second in 23.46, while Brian Robbins, 37, was Lincoln City’s top finisher, placing third in 26.21. Kelsey Moe, 20, of Salem, was the women’s top finisher in 26.44, fourth overall.

climb on him and swim with him in the deep end.

“At one point he was confronted by one of our foster moms,” Bomar said.

“When he was confronted, he left real fast.”

At the time, he said, pool employees did not have a chance to learn the man’s name. But they certainly took note of the incident.

Police say Shay didn’t resurface at the Lincoln City pool for several years.

If true, the timing makes sense – Shay was convicted in 2005 of sexual exploitation of a minor. According to Bomar, “he sexually assaulted a 3- and 5-year-old girl that he had been babysitting.”

But after a long break, police say Shay was seen again at the Community Center in August 2011.

“Jason Garding, the aquatic supervisor, recognized him right away when he came back in,” Bomar said. “He (Shay) always came in during rec swim hours... Once he realized that Jason was watching him closely, he bailed out.”

Police say Shay returned again on Nov. 1 of this year.

“He was here for the nighttime rec swim. He was only there about 30 minutes before he got described as ‘spooked’ and he left,” Bomar said.

Though he still didn’t know the man’s name at that point, Garding managed to write down Shay’s Washington license plate number.

Police ran the plate and it came back to a woman. At the time, they thought Garding had written down the wrong plate and, since Shay was long gone, the matter didn’t go much further.

Then again, on Dec. 26, Shay was allegedly back at the pool.

“We were in there doing a routine walk-through when Jason Garding alerted us that the guy happened to be in there again,” Bomar said. Bomar said he and another officer walked over and stood near Shay.

“He was in the hot tub area alone... he was intensely watching the children swim and play on the rope until he saw us, and it was very apparent he was spooked by us,” Bomar said. “He was making subtle glances our way.”

Shay reportedly left the pool and was approached by officers as he was leaving the locker rooms.

“He refused to identify himself,” Bomar said. “I asked him flat out if he was a sex offender and he said ‘no.’”

Shay left the Community Center, but later that day Bomar ran the plate again.

It came back to the same woman’s name, but Bomar took it a step further. He called the Thurston County Sheriff’s Department in Olympia and quickly got a hit on the address associated with the car – it belonged to Shay’s mother and he was a registered sex offender living at her address.

Armed with a photo of Shay, Lincoln City Police began contacting local hotels.

It didn’t take long for Bomar to locate him at the Quality Inn Motel, where he was arrested Thursday morning. The charges stem from Shay’s two alleged trips to the pool on Nov. 1 and Dec. 26 of this year.

“He comes down solely to go to the pool,” Bomar added. “He said he doesn’t know anybody in town.”

Police have no reason to believe that Shay “offended, per se” any children at the pool Bomar said. But Bomar praised the pool staff and visitors for being proactive about their concerns.

“They did an outstanding job of being vigilant and alerting us,” Bomar said.

“Had it not been for Jason Garding getting that (license) plate we never would have gotten him.”

Bomar said it’s better to

be safe and to alert someone if an adult is behaving strangely around children – especially in a setting such as a public pool.

Running to make a difference Jim Fossum The News Guard

Jason Zacher runs for money, but he’s not a professional athlete, just a generous one.

Zacher, longtime Lincoln City and newly transplanted Sherwood resident, is at it again, making life better for others.

“I love the satisfaction of being able to help,” he said.

The 41-year-old 1989 Taft High 7-12 graduate will be in demand of your help this spring when he again pounds the pavement in exchange for financial aid for the needy.

“I don’t think people understand sometimes the sacrifice and commitment it takes,” he said.

What people do know, and have exhibited time and again, Zacher said, is how to help make his many imaginative money-making missions successful. They’ll have another chance this spring when he hightails it out of Portland and runs 100 miles nonstop to Lincoln City for the benefit of military service veterans.

His latest endeavor — the Angels Flight 100 — calls for a torturous trek in unknown conditions from Waterfront Park in Portland to the start/finish line of the Lincoln City Half Marathon, scheduled Sunday, March 3.

He plans to leave Portland around 2 p.m. the previous day and run through the night to the finish line while

the annual local race is under way.

“I have always wanted to do something for veterans because they have given so much to the rest of us,” he said.

Zachery also will be running for the Salvation Army Veterans Family Center in Beaverton, which houses homeless vets and provides medical and drug treatment, food and job support to veterans. Specifically, Zacher’s grueling run will go toward construction of a wheelchair ramp to a courtyard/garden and a wheelchair accessible shower.

“It is a tall order, but I am excited to do what I can to help,” he said.

Given Zacher’s running history, it’s a wonder he’d even be making a 10-mile trek. let alone 100. After 20 years without running a race, Zacher began training with Richard Joachim, operator of Fitness 101 in Lincoln City, in February 2011 with the intent of competing again after being just an average runner and competing in his last race at the end of his senior year at Taft in 1989.

“I was not a good runner at all in high school,” said Zacher, who did not compete in any other sports.

Surprising virtually everyone — and stunning himself — Zacher won his first race of any kind in nearly two decades.

Bolstered by his surprising victory, Zacher began

training for a half-marathon, a distance he had never run, and finished 32nd in the Oregon Wine Country Half-Marathon in September 2011 in Dayton. Shortly thereafter, he posted his best time in the Holiday HalfMarathon in Portland and finished 17th against a field of more than 2,000 runners.

“I kept having people asking me if I ever considered running for charity and I loved the idea,” he said.

“Angels Anonymous was a charity very special to me because of all that they do for people.”

In March 2011 at the Lincoln City Half Marathon, Zacher staged his first running fundraiser by starting the race in last place, one full second behind the pack.

Making money for each person he passed en route to placing eighth, Zacher raised more than $3,000.

At the Lincoln City Relay for Life in August 2012, Zacher ran 210 laps or 52.4 miles around the Taft High track to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

“With the Lincoln City Half Marathon approaching again, I wanted to do something really special to raise money again for Angels Anonymous,” he said. “I really wanted to keep this great and growing race as part of my fundraising.”

To prepare, Zacher surpassed 1,800 miles of running in 2012 last week.

“I have to train for hours a week to be able to have

Highway 20 decision: More time for study The Oregon Transportation Commission has decided to take more time to study options on building a new alignment of U.S. Highway 20 between Corvallis and Newport.

The project is designed to replace a 10-mile segment of old U.S. Highway 20 that has narrow lanes and hairpin curves with a 5.5-mile segment that will be straighter with wide shoulders and miles of passing lanes The Commission received five options to address the project’s future.

Two dealt with completing the new alignment; two dealt with modifying the existing U.S. Highway 20 alignment and one dealt with bringing the project to an end.

During its meeting in Salem Dec. 19, the Commission took no procedural action on an option to complete the new alignment and place traffic on the alignment by 2015. That

a chance to complete the 100-miler,” he said. “The joy it gives me far surpasses anything I got from winning a race, though. I love the challenge.”

Donations can be made at http://www.causes. com/actions/1719258. All payments will go directly to Angels Anonymous with no site fee. Checks also can be made payable to Angels Anonymous or emailed to osubeav21@yahoo.com or leave a message on the Facebook page. Pledges can be made at any time with collection in March.

T-shirts with a logo he designed himself on the front and run sponsors on the back will be sold with all proceeds benefitting Angels Anonymous.

Zacher is seeking more sponsors in addition to those already or previously involved in his fundraising events, which include Fitness 101, Papa Murphy`s, Larry Garrison/Windermere Real Estate, Pacific Grind Coffee, Lincoln City Realty LLC; Bales Marketplace and the Oregon Beef Council.

“I hope this is my best event yet because it is by far the toughest,” Zacher said.

“The 52-miler hurt like heck, so I’m sure this will be twice the fun.”

The Commission instructed ODOT staff to refine cost estimates on an option that would delay putting traffic on the new alignment until further study of landslide data is accomplished. Staff will present the refined esti-

The decision was reached after the Commission was told that additional study of ground movement along the project corridor would result in significant cost savings and less risk.

Jason Zacher hopes to make a difference in helping veterans with a 100-mile-long nonstop run from Portland to Wapiti Park on the day leading up to the annual Lincoln City Half Marathon in early March.

“They were very much in need and very grateful for the help,” McCormack said. “They talked freely about the problems they were having and were very nice and respectful.”

McCormack said the father had a painful injury, which makes it difficult to sleep, particularly in the cold. A former truck driver, both he and his son are on disability. The two had been sleeping at night in the Chinook Winds Casino Resort parking lot, he said.

Once the decision to open the shelter is made, hopefully by 4 p.m. on extraordinarily cold, windy and wet days, the news will be posted on Facebook, McCormack said. He said he also will leave a voice message on his phone (503-392-3717) and the church phone (541-994-

2378).

“The weather had been terrible Sunday and the temperature was supposed to drop Monday with high winds,” he said. “It was not supposed to go as low as our criteria, but there had been several days in a row pretty bad and we had had some queries and decided a respite from the cold and wet would be welcomed.

I phoned and lined up volunteers and informed various groups and agencies.”

Five volunteers assisted on the first shift after signs were posted alongside Highway 101 and in front of the church. At least two volunteers were on hand throughout the night.

Chili, crackers and coffee were served.

“I think next time we need to wait until we are more certain of weather being bad enough for

people to feel a real need,” McCormack said. “At any rate, this was a great learning experience for us — a kind of dry run, and well worth it to help these two good and kind people. We have made a start and are standing ready if the temperature drops.”

McCormack said improvements will be sought for the functioning of the church’s outreach service.

“Any publicity will help,” he said, “but how do we get our donations to the right people, the clothes, etc., and how do we get them informed when the shelter is open?

Those are difficult tasks and success will depend on the entire community working together on short notice.”

for the guy who’s going the wrong way.”

Ward moved to Lincoln City from Salem in 1976. At the time, he always vacationed in Lincoln City and hoped to one day retire there.

“If I wanted to retire then, then why not just live there?” he said.

He opened a wine and cheese shop and had several other businesses, including a restaurant. When he purchased the Anchor Inn about six years ago, “it was more rough than diamond.”

Today, it’s a warm and cozy getaway – also elaborately decorated with Ward’s collectables – that “does extraordinarily well for a little hotel.”

The idea is that the Eventuary and the Anchor, located about two miles

apart, would feed off of each other.

“If we book a wedding, we can work them a deal on the hotel, and I have a shuttle so whenever there’s alcohol I shuttle them,” Ward said.

Ward also ran a preemployment screening business, which he recently sold to his son, that is very successful and “allows me to be foolish” he said with a laugh.

While the Eventuary wasn’t a blockbuster success in its first year, Ward is optimistic for its future.

“It’s nothing like I expected, but that’s OK,” Ward said. “...I really, I had this idea of what it would do, and it’s just finding it’s own way. We’re booking more and more, and people are happy.”

The Eventuary “still has training wheels,” he said, “and I’m enjoying the ride.”

Rates start at $90 per hour for use of the Eventuary. The space can accommodate up to 170 people, though it’s also often used for groups as small as 50. For more information about the Eventuary, visit theeventuary.com.

Eventuary

than that. The site has had several expansions and incarnations over the years – it served as Lincoln City’s first hospital. After that, it was a mortuary, then a church, and then a mortuary once again.

A grim detail of the building’s past occurred in 1984, when 16 unembalmed, decomposing bodies were found stacked in the garage.

Then-owner and mortician Dale Omsberg was later convicted and sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to 60 misdemeanor charges of theft, attempted theft and abuse of a corpse, all relating to his treatment of bodies between January 1981 and the fall of 1984.

Even after that event, the building continued as a mortuary, but when Ward purchased it in 2011, “it was semi-operating. They hadn’t done any business in 90 days.”

Ward thought he got the building for a steal at $100,000. But he has since invested a half-million dollars in structural and cosmetic improvements.

“It gets kind of scary without the prospect of return,” Ward said. “I think ‘God, what am I doing?’ But you get to a certain point, you just got to go all in.”

Ward has gone all in – and it shows. Not just with the exterior improvements to the siding and paint color, or in the architectural improvements such as removing part of the second floor to open up a grand foyer entry from the first floor.

The most impressive thing about the Eventuary is all the little things – oddities, collectibles, curios and antiques that combine for a beautiful and quirky shrine

to local history.

Ward says he’s always been a bit of a hoarder, but there’s a method to the madness. From a beat up old vacuum cleaner, to a collection of glass floats, to a full-size canoe and dragon kite both hanging from the ceiling, Ward said, “What I’m looking for is kind of the real thing.”

He runs his hand along a flat smooth stone inset into a fireplace. A faded, hand painted poem on its surface can be seen but barely read.

“We found that old rock and somebody had written a love letter on the rock,” Ward said. “And to me, that was the real thing. Even though bits and pieces of it are missing, it was something that just couldn’t be denied.”

Atop the mantle sits a cast iron toy carriage.

“This is just a really unique cool piece,” Ward said. “And you’ll notice there’s nothing in here that has a bad intent behind it. I’m never going to go buy a sword or a knife or a gun. You’re never going to see anything like that. But this was in the windows of Macy’s and when it was complete it was a Cinderella carriage, and that’s all that’s left of it. But it has really wonderful colors and a re-

ally great history behind it, and just kind of a little bit of humanity.”

In the former funeral home viewing room – now a wooden-paneled buffet area – hang collages of black and white photos from a single wedding.

“Who is that?” I ask, wondering if the photos are a family member’s mementos.

“I have no idea, but it’s somebody,” Ward said. “I found this at a local junk shop and I framed them...

It’s a hell of a lot more interesting than looking at a picture of a flower or something.”

Along the walls in the upstairs lounge, dozens and dozens of photos tell the story of an unknown man who served in the Navy in the 1940s. They show fun times with many (and different) women. Ward had purchased the soldier’s photo album at a junk store and had the photos blown up and framed.

Another wall upstairs is devoted to dozens of abstract paintings of fish by Portland artist Jay Hill.

“And they’re mostly swimming the right way,” Ward said of his “school.”

“You’ve got a couple going the wrong way, just like you do in life. I have empathy

The Pines Hotel and Restaurant, pictured here in the 1940s, was Taft’s living room and kitchen during the 1930s and 1040s. Built some time around 1928, it was the place to stay in Taft for more than 25 years. A disastrous fire completely destroyed the building in 1976.

By Sheriff Dennis Dotson

Every year the New Year’s parties are becoming more popular and in many instances larger. Amongst all the fun and noise it’s important to ensure that the festivities are safe and that there are people in attendance who are designated to stay sober and ensure safety. Laws do not ensure that nothing bad ever happens, it’s people making the right choices. There are safety measures that people

can implement to help keep people safe and reduce liability on the big night.

Here are some ideas: Use common sense to include not driving after drinking.

Designate a non-drinking driver before the party.

Utilize public transportation where available.

Spend the night at the party location.

If you are hosting the party, ensure that non alcoholic drinks are also served.

Have the courage to refuse a friend a drink if he/she is finding it difficult to keep their behavior in check.

Consider the safety and welfare of your pets.

Loud music and people, fireworks, and strangers to the pets can cause them unnecessary distress.

Ensure that your pet(s) has ID tags with current information on them, and that they are safely secured before the party.

Candles, kids, and pets don’t mix. Keep them away from each other.

The responsibility and much of the liability of a safe party remains with the host. The host should know a few things about the liquor that is being served.

For instance, beer and wine

are just as intoxicating as distilled spirits. A 12-ounce can of beer; a five-ounce glass of wine; a 12-ounce wine cooler; and an ounce and a half of liquor contain nearly the same amount of alcohol. Mixers won’t help dilute alcohol; they just make alcohol tastier.

In fact, scientific research reveals that alcoholic drinks using artificial sweeteners lead to a higher rate of alcohol absorption, resulting in a greater blood alcohol concentration than from drinks made with sugar-based mixers.

Carbonated mixers like club soda or tonic

water cause alcohol to be absorbed into a person’s system more quickly. Fruit juice and other sweet mixers mask the taste of alcohol and may cause people to drink more.

And lastly, there is a tendency to rely on someone’s physical appearance to determine his/her state of intoxication. If someone you know is acting out of character, they may well be intoxicated.

Editorial Note

Changes coming to the News Guard In a world that is rapidly changing the way it receives news, we at the News Guard are rapidly changing as well.

We are meeting our readers in new places through new methods.

We’ve expanded our offerings at thenewsguard. com to give you the news daily, when it happens, not just on Wednesday mornings. We have an active Facebook page where more than 600 people get breaking news alerts and share their thoughts with the

community. We’ve added video components to our stories. We’re offering more information than ever in the limitless digital landscape.

We’ve also had to change some of the ways we do business. We recently instituted a paywall on our website, asking readers to pay for access to our in-depth and original reporting while still providing breaking news, sports and entertainment content to anyone who visits our site.

It’s been four years since

the News Guard made a modest increase to its subscription and sales rates, and as costs to produce the newspaper continue to increase, we are making a change there as well.

Effective Feb. 1, the News Guard will increase the price of the newspaper.

Our in-the-rack price will increase from 75 cents to $1.

Also effective Feb. 1, the in-county subscription price for newspaper delivery will increase to $38.99 annually. Out-of-county

annual subscriptions will increase to $54.99.

If you renew your existing subscription, or start a new subscription to the News Guard by Jan. 31, you can take advantage of the existing low rate of $26 in Lincoln County and $39 out of county for one more year.

We’re also offering a new pay-by-the-month option.

For $3.99 a month you can have access to all of our online content, and have the print newspaper delivered to you anywhere in the

U.S. You can sign up online with a credit card, which will be automatically billed monthly until you decide to cancel. Learn more at thenewsguard.com/e_editions/ current_e_edition/ Thank you for partnering with us as we evolve along with the newspaper industry. We are confident that these changes will allow us to continue to serve as the community’s primary news and information source for many years to come.

Texas is messing with the rest of us

Cultural Center Kudos

however, I spent all of my elective time in the art room with former art teacher Molly Van Austin. Therefore, I was also impressed with LCCC’s pottery studio, an inspiring space to create with local artists. When I entered the gift shop I was pleasantly surprised to find it resided in my old Delake classroom where I attended first grade with Mrs. Welch.

All in all, I am happy to finally see a well-rounded offering of art spaces and programs at Lincoln City Cultural Center. It is my highest hope that the city will continue to support the arts. Every city should have a community performing and visual arts center, because in my opinion without art there is no society.

Voices of Lincoln County Newtown Massacre

May I suggest a response to the Newtown massacre available to all citizens?

Sure, the shooter was deranged. Nothing we can do about that in every case.

But the weapons he used (a fresh ballooning bullet every time he squeezed the trigger) have nothing to do with hunting and very little to do with target practice, self-defense or protecting oneself from government aggression. They are crude instruments of power. What would happen if a sizable percentage of the citizenry refused to spend money at businesses that sold such weaponry? In the 1970s my peace-loving mother joined a grassroots movement to boycott hamburger when the price had zoomed up out of proportion to

good sense. That boycott, which seemed to work, was conducted in the pre-social media age. How much more quickly could a boycott of all stores selling semi-automatics and their attachments begin to apply pressure now? Don’t wait for the government to make its awkward moves. Ask your favorite retailers’ sporting goods departments what they sell. Depending on what you find out, tell them that you won’t be buying your cleaning supplies and dog food there any longer.

March to customer service with the same message, then write a letter to corporate headquarters and move on.

Tell your friends what you’re doing and encourage them to join.

So the college football season has come down to the bowl games. The BCS and their counterparts have picked the Oregon State Beavers to play the Texas Longhorns. Where will the game be played? In Texas.

The Beavers will travel about 2,100 miles and the Longhorns about 79. In other bowl game match-ups, we have Minnesota and Texas Tech. Guess where that game will be played? In Texas.How about Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma? You guessed it.

I call that BS for Bowl Selection.

James Green Neskowin

As a former elementary student at DeLake School, and current artist living in Los Angeles, it’s a joy to enter the new Cultural Center in Lincoln City. When I was in High School (Taft) in the 90’s I used to commute to Newport for acting workshops at Newport Performing Arts Center, as well as dance classes with Pacific Dance Ensemble. It makes me smile to see that local youth today have an arts outlet at Lincoln City Cultural Center. I hope it will continue to draw talented guest artists and instructors to the nice dance studio and intimate theatre. As a teen actor/dancer/singer attending Taft High, I was frustrated that they didn’t offer any performing arts classes;

Chamber opens doors to Young Professionals The Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce has announced that the Young Professionals, also known as the LC Yo Pros, have become an official committee of the Chamber.

The Yo Pros, which had been operating as their own quasi-group, gained the status at the December Chamber Board meeting, when the Chamber board voted unanimously to create the Yo Pro committee.

“The chamber has been supportive of the Yo Pros since day one, it has just been a matter of time before the Yo Pros became an official committee,” said Seth Lenaerts, head of the Lincoln City Young Professionals. “Joining the Chamber gives our group the social infrastructure to expand and help us to achieve our goals.”

Nonni Augustine, the

Executive Director of the Chamber, is looking forward to having the Yo Pros on board.

“We are very pleased to include the Young Professionals as an official committee of our Chamber,” she said. “This addition will bring a fresh perspective to our organization, with the potential for a different and dynamic contribution to our Chamber efforts and activities. We look forward to a productive and fun association.”

The Young Professionals will continue to operate in much the same way as they have for the past two years.

The group holds monthly social networking meetings on the second Thursday of the month at bars and restaurants in town. In addition, the Yo Pros hold professional development trainings, engage in com-

munity service projects, and support local businesses.

Lenaerts said joining the Chamber will help the group to expand our network, and help connect young professionals with the larger community.

The Yo Pros is open to anyone who is interested, regardless of age and profession. The Chamber of Commerce and the Yo Pros will be attending a joint Business After Hours with the Newport Chamber of Commerce + Yo Pros from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 9, at the Whale Museum in Depoe Bay. The Yo Pros will be back to their regular Thursday night schedule, on Feb. 14, for their second anniversary at Roadhouse 101.

For more Yo Pros information email: lcyopros@gmail. com or go to www.facebook. com/lcyopros.

The Lincoln City Chamber “Yo Pros.”

The veteran, the bench, and the Coast Guardsmen Roger Oppenheim, a 30year resident of Coronado Shores in the Gleneden Beach area, was 93 years old on the 13th of December.

He’s slowed down a bit in the past few years. However; even so he still occasionally walks the half-mile from his house to the mail boxes by the Clubhouse.

He would often stop on his walk and take a breather sitting on a low wall.

On his 90th birthday Roger was presented with an outdoor bench with wrought iron sides. Over the years the Oregon rain, wind, hail, and snow damaged the bench; however, a neighbor, Arch Lang, noticed and decided to take some action. He contacted the neighborhood Coast Guard Auxiliarist, Larry Cox, for a solution to the problem. Cox immediately took the problem to the Coast Guard Station Depoe Bay Executive Petty Officer, Chief Beth Slade.

She brought the problem up to the crew at morning muster, and a volunteer stepped forward to undertake the project. This was Boatswain’s Mate First Class (BM1) Matt Sprague, who is not only a Surfman at the Station, but also happens to be a first class carpenter, and master at working difficult and unusual projects.

Matt took the bench completely apart – every nut, bolt, screw, wood slats, and wrought iron sides and arms. He replaced the old slats with new cedar wood for the back and seat, cut them to size, sanded them smooth, and finished them with a weather-proof sealer.

He also burned “United States Army” on the slats mounted to the back of the bench. Next he purchased all new stainless steel nuts,

Auxiliarist, Larry Cox. bolts and screws, and instead of just spray-painting the wrought iron he contacted the best Powder Coating professional in the area for some advice. Hearing that the project was for a veteran, Craig Selvidge of Craig Craft Powder Coating, took on the project, and when the sides were finished in beautiful Army olive, he refused payment for his contribution. Thank you, Craig. After all the parts were refurbished, Matt reassembled the bench, and it was ready for installation at Roger’s rest area.

On Dec. 18, Roger’s son Marc took him for a ride in Coronado Shores, and just happened to go by the bench location.

Roger, who’s never been at a loss for words, was overwhelmed by the gift of his new bench, and could hardly talk. After the shock he thanked BM1 Matt Sprague, Senior Chief Dave Pierias, the Station Depoe Bay Officer in Charge, Chief Beth Slade, the Station’s Executive Petty Officer, Larry Cox, and Arch Lang for their efforts.

Sitting on his new “Army” style bench brought back some memories about his time in the Army, and Roger started reminiscing.

He joined the Oregon Army National Guard in 1934, got out after a number of years, and was called back into service during World War II. He eventually ended up going ashore at Omaha

Beach in France in 1944 just three weeks after the 6th of June invasion, where he stayed until the war ended in Europe in May of 1945.

After returning to Portland he was mustered out of the Army, and immediately accepted a job offer from Zale’s Jewelry store where he worked for the next 40 years. He and his wife Natalie had a house built in Coronado Shores in the late 70s, and after retiring from Zales’s they moved to the coast to live there full-time.

Before leaving his bench to return home Roger remarked: “well it looks like I started with the Army, and here I am 78 years later sitting on my very own ‘Army’ bench on the beautiful Oregon coast.”

State minimum wage set to increase Oregon’s low-paid workers will get a raise starting in the new year, when a 15cent increase to the state’s minimum wage takes effect.

The increase from $8.80 to $8.95 per hour means an extra $312 a year for a family with one full-time minimum wage worker.

The increase is the result of Measure 25, approved by voters in 2002, which pegged Oregon’s minimum wage to rises in the cost of living.

The Oregon Employment Department recently estimated that there were about 130,000 jobs in the state that paid less than $8.95 per hour in the first quarter of 2012 that would be directly affected by the increase. The Employment Department data shows that the leisure and hospitality industry and retail trade account for about four out of 10 of the jobs affected.

The wage increase affects tens of thousands of minimum wage workers and workers with wages just above minimum. The Washington, D.C.-based Economic Policy Institute (EPI) recently estimated that 83,000 Oregonians would benefit directly from the minimum wage increase. The institute noted that another 44,000 Oregon workers currently earning just above the new mini-

mum wage would likely see their paychecks increase as employers adjust their overall pay structures to reflect the new minimum wage.

Together, those directly and indirectly impacted account for about 8.3 percent of Oregon’s workforce.

Oregon minimum-wage workers will enjoy the second highest state minimum wage in the nation. Only the state of Washington will have a higher state mini-

mum wage. Oregon’s northern neighbor, which also automatically increases its minimum wage according to the cost of living, will see its minimum hourly wage rise to $9.19 on January 1.

As of January 1, Oregon will be one of 19 states plus the District of Columbia with a minimum wage above the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, which is not scheduled to increase.

Taft High earns positive report card Jim Fossum The News Guard

Taft High 7-12’s dealings with budget reductions and resource restrictions, loss of school days and the move to proficiency-based learning hasn’t hindered the school’s ability to generate a positive accreditation review.

“So many people have said to me, ‘You can’t be accredited, right?” Taft Principal Scott Reed said.

“So, we were very pleased and excited to hear such a positive review.”

The Northwest Accreditation Commission (NWAC), which ensures accountability for schools outside of their district and state, found Taft High deserving in various categories of education and services.

“They were impressed with the improvements we have made and the focus of the administration team, proficiency- based classes, school learning, the overall school climate, the discipline and behavior, all of those pieces,” Reed said.

“They were very impressed with the progress we’ve made and the plan that we had.”

In a visit this fall, the

commission reviewed Taft’s progress and standing in various areas of education, including teaching and learning standards; leadership and organization; support services; facilities and finance; and the culture of continuing improvement.

“The accreditation team interviews teachers, reviews the progress the school has made, checks to make sure teachers are doing a good job and that we’re really doing what we say we’re doing,” Reed said. “We’re excited to have gotten a ton of commendations.”

Among the commendations and recommendations made in the area of teaching and learning standards, were the following on instruction: “Even though the departments are all at different stages in the implementation of Proficiency in all classes, the program seems to be increasing student learning and achievement.

The math department is leading the way.”

In the area of assessment, the commission urged Taft teachers to clearly communicate to students the details of the proficiency-learning model the

school has incorporated.

Under leadership and organization, NWAC said, “The positive changes that have been implemented in the past two years are evident in the positive and forward thinking atmosphere at Taft High School. … The staff and students overwhelmingly noted that the principal and leadership team have changed the culture of THS to one of high expectation, learning and a student-first mentality. The principal needs to be highly commended for his effective work in reshaping the learning environment.”

Under the category of support services, the report cited the strong relationship between the school and Oregon Coast Community College, but urged the hiring of a full-time counselor and a learning specialist.

In the area of continuing improvement, the commission found that “the school is constantly setting new and higher goals. The staff is focused on improving their practice and assisting students in gaining vital skills.”

The school, which opened in 1939, last had a site evaluation conducted in November 2010. The

“They ask questions like, How big are your classes?

How many teachers do you have? How many librarians do you have? Everything from the technology in your building, your safety, your procedures, your discipline plan, P.E., schedule, student handbook, rules, communication with the district, pretty much anything you

can think of.”

The rigorous process calls for the school’s mission statement to be clear and communicated.

Reed said his primary goal this year has been improving communication throughout the school and community.

The return of the pep band is just part of the recent success that is being enjoyed by the Taft High music program under the direction of instructor Andy Hordichok.

Taft High strikes up the band “ T between beginning students and experienced. It has taken the last two years to rebuild the experience.”

In addition to balance in experience and a fuller complement of instruments, Hordichok loses just two seniors this year.

And, next year’s graduation losses should be covered by the large number of returning students.

“The biggest thing I’m really excited about is not so much all these new things that are happening, but all these things that are coming back, such as the pep band and the chamber choir,” he said.

With promise for greater growth, Hordichok looks ahead to having a drum line and expanding the program. With all the advancements, Hordichok can finally truly get down to

what he does best— teaching music.

“The biggest thing is it’s starting to click,” he said.

“Students are starting to get the idea of what I’m expecting, to start to see the vision that I have, It takes a lot longer to do that than I realized. I just feel that we’re at a turning point, We’re starting to turn 180 degrees into the direction we wanted to go,” With growth has come a certain maturity and sense

who provided a large grant for instruments and sheet music two years ago. A new grant application for choir uniforms has been submitted and is awaiting approval.

The program also has added a chamber choir that meets for two hours during Friday school interventions.

Plans are to integrate it into the regular school day for the second semester.

“The program is growing to a point where it is difficult for me to sustain it alone,” Hordichok said. “In fact, I need more help. I am always looking for people with a strong musical background.”

Most visible among his current help have been Anne Williams and Eric Pfaff.

“Both Anne and Eric are invaluable and contribute so much to the program,” Hordichok said.

Williams is a full-time tutor who helps students on an individual basis and assists in full rehearsals.

“Anne has also been my right arm in many sideline things that go on, anywhere from paperwork to picking up food for the pep band,” Hordichok said.

Pfaff has been the program’s full-time jazz drummer since November.

“He is the groove and keeps the jazz band in sync,” Hordichok said. “Eric has been a blessing to the band.”

Speaking of bands, returning to the scene this year has been a pep band, which has been absent the past two years because of a decline in skill level.

“Three years ago, we lost many students as they all graduated,” Hordichok said. “There was a huge gap

Conductor Andy Hordichok can wave his wand proudly as his music program at Taft High 7-12 has climbed the scale to hit its highest note yet.

At the midway point of his sixth year at the high school, the director of the Tigers’ music program has struck up the band, er, bands, following a period of growing pains.

“This year, the beginning band numbers were so large we had to create a second slot for beginning band instead of having one super large class of 70 students,” Hordichok said.

“The numbers are just great as far as student enrollment in the program.”

When Hordichok came to Taft in 2007, he was greeted by a group of maybe 80 students. The program today numbers about 150. Not coincidentally, growth has been accompanied by greater capital demands.

“More instruments, funds, music, uniforms, etc. ... Growth requires more of everything,” Hordichok said.

Fortunately, Taft Principal Scott Reed has recognized the program’s needs.

Despite difficult economic times, he has been attentive to those demands.

Reed allocated school money to purchase uniforms, with black tuxedo pants and white button-up shirts, for the symphonic band.

“They’re the first uniforms that we’ve had since I’ve been here,” Hordichok said. “Before, the band would come in with black pants in different shades and white shirts with stains and stuff. It’s another big step toward the direction of success — another big step forward that we’ve had.”

In addition, numerous local entities have provided support to help the band satisfy its desires.

To start, small grants from the Let There Be Arts program have been of great assistance, Hordichok said.

Dieting after the holidays

New Year

Mixed Grill

By Everett Cutter

H

appy New Year, folks. It is time for our annual postholiday diet column, to enable seeing the bathroom scale again as we make our resolutions.

This column is a new and improved version of a favorite from several years ago, with still more profound, slenderizing news for Gentle Reader.

Patsy Lawrence talks with personal trainer LoRee LaFon during a workout at the Lincoln City Community Center.

New You

Discover fitness options at the Lincoln City Community Center

By Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

P

atsy Lawrence doesn’t mind the two-hour drive from Logsden to get to the Lincoln City Community Center for her exercising program. The 62-year-old makes the drive twice a week.

“I love the people that are here,” she said. “I would not know what do to if it wasn’t for their help.”

Lawrence is one of many people heading back to the gym to get back into shape. But she didn’t wait until the start of a New Year to make the lifestyle change.

“I wanted to take charge of my life,” she said. “I was tired of feeling old and this is just something I knew I had to do” The lifestyle changes for Lawrence began three years ago when she adjusted her diet by giving up meats.

“Because meats cause inflammation in your body and my husband and I both have arthritis,” said Lawrence. “So after we got the diet under control we knew we had to do something physically to get us moving.”

Lawrence is a former Lincoln City resident and decided to seek help with her lifestyle change at the Lincoln City Community Center.

She’s been making the journey to the Center for her workouts for one year and two months.

“I absolutely feel that I am in better health now than I have ever been,” she said. “I did do gardening, but I never got my heart rate up. My home is on the side of a hill.

I couldn’t go from one level to the other without having to rest on the way. And now I can just run right up the hills.”

Her workouts at the Center are also helping ease her arthritis pain.

“When I am walking on the treadmill, I have no pain,” said

The exercise room at the Lincoln City Community Center is a popular place just after the start of a New Year for people working to stay in shape.

Lawrence. “When I am in the pool I have no pain. It all just goes away.

So it is really refreshing for me to come here.”

Lawrence treats her exercising like a hobby.

“That way it is fun for me,” she said. “It’s a social event.”

Retired from a career in the banking industry, Lawrence now uses numbers to help manage her body.

“That way LoRee helps me manage my lifestyle changes in way that works best for me,” she said.

“This has been fun for me since the beginning. This is now my job and my hobby.”

Lawrence is now working on the next level of her lifestyle change developing home exercises like pushups, sit-ups and weight lifting.

“If I even miss a week of my exercises I feel sluggish, tired, and uncomfortable,” said Lawrence.

“Just doing something every day keeps me refreshed.”

LoRee LaFon, the Community Center’s certified personal trainer, weight management coach and YMCA water fitness instructor, has been counseling Lawrence and is her personal trainer.

She said the rush to the gym at the first of a new year is pretty typical.

“People like a fresh start,” said LaFon. “It’s a brand new calendar, a brand new year. It could be that someone is challenging them and they have a buddy that is willing to do this together or it could just be that the person is ready to commit.”

But for some, heading to the gym only lasts a few months. She said those people may try to take on too much too soon and give up.

LaFon suggests sitting down with a trainer and setting realistic fitness goals.

“You don’t have to accomplish everything in three months,” she said. “You can look at this as a way to start living. Just start doing

something every day. Take it one step at a time.”

According to LaFon, walking is the most popular form of exercise at the center. She said just taking a 20-minute walk or two or three 10-minute walks each day with light stretching really helps as people work their way back into shape.

Walking builds up the cardiovascular system, builds muscle fibers, makes you stronger, and increases your endurance.

“It will give you tools for relaxation, always elevates the mood, and helps you sleep better,” she said. “Not very many people talk about weight loss in the beginning, but they do talk about sleeping better, being in a better mood and they are willing to take on more and that helps them be more productive at work.”

With nutrition changes, LaFon encourages less fatty foods, and more fruits and vegetables.

“Exercise and nutrition together build lifestyle,” said LaFon. “That’s what this is all about. Keeping our hearts healthy and our blood flow robust. Every step towards a healthy lifestyle is a celebration of progress.”

But she said nutrition is just as important as physical activity.

The Community Center offers a free program to new members that includes personal training, fitness assessment, physical readiness, nutrition information, aquatics therapy, weight training and yoga.

“So you get to see what we offer and what best fits for you,” said LaFon. “The gym training needs to be individualized to fit lifestyle, age, and needs.”

For more information about the exercise programs offered at the Lincoln City Community Center, call LaFon at 541-994-2131.

98 quilts, 75 pillows, 1 year of giving Oregon Coastal Quilters Guild members have made and donated 98 quilts, 75 pillows to Samaritan Pacific Hospital, and 94 pillows to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter during 2012.

The tally includes 24 quilts to the people affected by the apartment fire in Toledo, 58 quilts to Children’s Advocacy Center, seven to the Siletz tribal elders for their children’s care center, and eight lap robes to the Dialysis Center.

Samaritan Pacific has welcomed the pillows for their surgery patients for some time. The pillows are lightly stuffed with polyester fiberfill. The animal shelter pillows, however, are stuffed with fabric and batting scraps that would otherwise find their way into area landfills!

In addition, the guild donated $500 to the Lincoln County Historical Society in recognition of the museum’s support of the guild’s quilt documentation efforts. The history center also provides meeting space for the executive board and quilt show committee meetings throughout the year. The North Lincoln County Museum in Lincoln City received $200 in recognition of their support for quilt documentation and historical quilt preservation.

OCQG members make items for the guild’s community quilt efforts year-around. In addition, the guild holds a “stitch-in” on the first Thursday of each month from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Quilters Cottage in Toledo, where owners Monica and Chris Lyons have made sewing and storage space available to the guild.

In past years, quilts have been donated to Habitat for Humanity, Samaritan House, and other charitable

Local poet to read at Newport Library “Poetry is alive and well at the coast,” says writer Dorothy Black Crow Mack of Depoe Bay. You can hear a diverse selection of that poetry during a reading at 1 p.m.

Sunday, Jan. 6 at the Newport Public Library.

Mack, with fellow poets Sandra Ellston and Ruth F. Harrison, will read from their latest works – debut volumes from Turnstone Books of Waldport. The three authors are all retired English professors, awardwinning poets, and members of the Tuesday Writers club in Waldport.

Mack is also president of the Coast Branch of Willamette Writers and is active in writing endeavors throughout Lincoln County. Her book “Anuk-Ite’: DoubleFace Woman” honors the elders who blessed her life on Pine Ridge Reservation.

Mack spent years living on a Sioux reservation in South Dakota with her now-deceased husband, Selo Black Crow. Selo, a fullblooded Native American, was a spiritual and political leader for his people. The couple met in the 1970s, when Dorothy was a professor at the University of Michigan and Selo came to speak at the law school about Native American treaties.

“Anuk-Ite” is Mack’s first collection of poems published as a single book. It’s illustrated with personal portraits and images of life on the reservation.

Of Black Crow’s poems, Oregon Poet Laureate Paulann Petersen says, “Black Crow has the wisdom and heart to do an ancient, ageless work: delving... deep / to pull out all those designs / pricked in the night sky...”

Like the other selections to be read from Jan. 6, her book was published by the new Turnstone Press, put

Dorothy Black Crow Mack together by members of the Tuesday Writers club. Mack said several writers from north county carpool to the weekly Waldport meetings.

Also reading on Jan. 6 is Ruth F. Harrison, who lives near Waldport, and is author of several volumes of poems. Her new work, “How Singular and Fine,” is a substantial volume with poems in several established forms: the sonnet, villanelle, epic, ode, terza rima, and other lyric structures.

Sandra Ellston is president of Writers on the Edge and a practitioner of t’ai chi. Her volume, “Poems Along the Way,” consists of modern reworkings of ancient Chinese texts from the T’ang dynasty. These poems describe the joys and heartbreaks of life’s journey and have been called calming and serene. Poet Matt Schumacher says her book is a “Taoist treasure chest that frees fleeting flute notes and turtledoves thousands of years old, gives us pause under the ‘study huts’ of our ancestors, and braves the same mountain summits as the T’ang Dynasty’s finest poets. A very old muse runs through these poems.”

Each poet will read samples from her book and copies will be available for purchase at the event. The Newport Public Library is located at 35 NW Nye St. in Newport. Admission is free and open to the public.
