LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

Federal government shutdown felt

DAILY NEWS ONLINE thenewsguard.com

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The impact of the federal government shutdown continues to ripple from Washington, D.C. to the Oregon Coast.

Just south of Lincoln City, the popular Yaquina Head Lighthouse that draws 350,000 people annually remained closed as of Oct. 15.

The lighthouse is just one of the many national parks in Oregon closed by federal

shutdown.

“I am disappointed that as a federal tax payer I can’t utilize it,” said Celine Cloquet, visiting from Seattle. “I like the fact that I can get in free today and that there is parking anywhere. I parked right by the pay station. But I do hope this changes.”

Several other visitors maneuvered over the barricade blocking the entrance to the road that leads to the lighthouse, opting to walk several hundred feet.

Sandy Pfaff, Lincoln City Visitors and Convention Bureau director, also voiced concern about the federal shutdown impacting the See SHUTDOWN, Page A5

FANTASY OF TREES

Lincoln County School District Superintendent Tom Rinearson said he was encouraged by the results of newly designed and compiled school report cards for 2012-13 released Thursday, Oct. 10, by the Oregon Department of Education.

“Overall, I was pleased, especially given that it was a new report card and a new system that none of us, even six months ago, knew how it was going to play out,” he said. “Some schools didn’t score as high as they did in past years and vice versa, but the overall of where it ended up I’m OK with. It gave us a kind of a baseline on where we need to shoot to move up the ladder, so to speak.”

The main goal of the redesigned report cards is to provide parents and educators with clear, meaningful and relevant

Consultant recommends replacing NLHD hospital JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Weather data provided by Roads End Weather Watcher Sheridan Jones

Tough questions about the future of Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital and the type of health care it provides are yet to be answered following a public review Oct. 11 of a consultant’s assessment of the current facility in Lincoln City.

The report, by Portland-based Ankrom Moisan Architects, outlined challenges and deficiencies that included public access, structural, mechanical, plumbing, lighting and other issues.

The consultant recommends a “full replacement” of the hospital.

Issues raised during the public review of the evaluation included the costs of immediate repairs and renovation of the facility, costs and locations of a new hospital, funding sources, the changing health care front, demographics and community health care needs.

“It is important to remind people that the accreditation and certification process by federal and state agencies is an ongoing process at the hospital,” said Gordon McLean, North Lincoln Hospital District (NLHD) board chair.

“The hospital has consistent inspections and it meets the standards. There are no deficiencies on their lists, but there are on our list. The hospital’s critical care components are OK. It’s the facility and infrastructure that is at risk.”

Larry Mullins, CEO and President of Samaritan Health Care, the company contracted by the health district to run the hospital in Lincoln City, acknowledged that the facility needs improvements.

“As with any aging structure, there is a lot of work that has to be done to keep it up,” said Mullins. “We do the best we can.”

According to McLean, those attending the

NLHD meeting were leaning towards building a new hospital that would emphasis emergency and urgent care and would be located on Highway 101 for more public convenience.

“A brand new facility could cost $50 to 60 million,” said McLean. “We would need to determine a menu of services to fit the community needs, but it would likely be downsized from what we see today.”

The North Lincoln Hospital District Board is reviewing a consultant’s study of the Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital.

agreed that a new hospital would be ideal, but she emphasized that maintaining the critical care designation was critical to the hospital and the community because it allows the hospital to receive federal subsidies.

“Before the designation we were losing money,” said Schwartz. “Without the critical care designation, we could not afford to keep the hospital doors open. We are a huge community economic engine. We are a major employer.”

Terry Buggenhagen, board member, said the board and the community have tough decisions to make.

“We need to decide if we should invest in the current facility or if we need to build new,” said Buggenhagen. “But we do need to make some investment in the current hospital.

Buggenhagen said funding options could include a bond, grants, and federal funding.

“We need to educate ourselves on what the options are,” Schwartz said. “The health care focus used to be to treat the sick, today the focus is on keeping well. We might not need a large facility with many beds. We need to keep open-minded to make very informed decisions.”

McLean said the NLHD has made progress on the physician issues raised during public sessions eight years ago. He said the NLHD is now turning its attention to the facility itself.

The NLHD board will meet again on Oct. 17 to begin a two-step process.

“We will develop an immediate five-year plan and a long-term plan working with Samaritan Health Services, the contracted hospital operator,” said McLean. “It will be done with a sense of urgency. We realize we have to address immediate issues. We also recognize that it will take three to five years to work through funding options and regulations.”

Silhouettes mark Domestic Violence Awareness month “ T Visitors to the Lincoln County Courthouse in Newport might be taking a second look as they enter the building. Silhouettes of children and adults are greeting the visitors.

The silhouettes are an effort to raise public awareness about domestic violence, sexual assault and dating violence.

The silhouettes represent all walks of life and gender and will include statistical information about domestic violence cases in Oregon and the United States, according to Jamie Irwin, My Sister’s Place outreach coordinator.

My Sister’s Place is the domestic violence, sexual assault and dating violence prevention and intervention program for Lincoln County. The agency operates an emergency shelter in an undisclosed county location.

“The silhouettes are an effort to get people talking about domestic violence and about solutions,” said Irwin.

“We had 1,647 calls for domestic violence on our 24-hour crisis line in 2012,” said Irwin. “We also had 220 sexual assault calls on the crisis line. “We served 745 people and 110 of those were given emergency shelter.”

In 2011, My Sister’s Place served 822 victims of violence and provided shelter for 69 women and 45 children. The crisis line received 2,741 calls.

October has been proclaimed Domestic Violence Awareness Month by the Lincoln County Commissioners. The Silhouettes were funded through the Lincoln County Sheriff’s

Office.

In 1990, an ad hoc group of women artists and writers, upset about the growing number of women in Minnesota being murdered by their partners or acquaintances, joined together with several other women’s organizations to form Arts Action Against Domestic Violence. These compassionate women felt an urgency to do something that would speak out against the escalating domestic violence in their state. They set out to create something that would commemorate the lives of the 26 women whose lives had been lost in 1990 as a result of domestic violence.

After much brainstorming, the women began to design 26 free-standing,

“We will come up with a custom solution to fit their situation,” she said. “This is not just something that we pull out of a planning book.

Beached turtle dies from injuries The distressed olive ridley sea turtle that was discovered hypothermic and dehydrated on an Oregon coast beach Monday succumbed to internal injuries early Wednesday morning.

The Oregon Coast Aquarium staff that was caring for her said she declined into an unresponsive state around 1:00 a.m.

Veterinary examination indicated “Furlough,” as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service staff that brought her to the Aquarium called her, sustained internal injuries while tumbling through surf after becoming too hypothermic to swim.

Olive ridley turtles, Lepidochelys olivacea, are listed under the federal Endangered Species Act and are typically found in tropical waters around the globe. The species is highly migratory, breeding and nesting in coastal areas and foraging as far as 2400 miles from shore.

USFWS Coastal Oregon Field Office urges anyone who finds a sea turtle on the beach to contact the Oregon State Police Wildlife Hotline at (800) 452-7888 to ensure appropriate transport and care of the animal.

Harbor Avenue improvements proposed T

JEREMY C. RUARK/THE NEWS GUARD

This drawing shows proposed improvements for Harbor Avenue that includes a pedestrian zone. and retaining walls blocking pedestrian access.

“Those gathered at the public meetings suggested traffic-calming measures such as speed bumps,” said Tim Strand

with Greenworks. “They are concerned about street parking that impacts oncoming traffic. They also want ocean view points opened up and more street trees.”

Greenworks is recommending that the city remove east-side street parking and add a pedestrian zone on the west side of Harbor Avenue.

Strand said removing the east-side street parking would give flexibility to accommodate other features such as bicycle lanes, bike racks, properly placed utility poles and vaults, and would create intersections acceptable to the neighborhood. He

said the plan would have minimal private-property impact because most of the improvements would be in the right of way.

“Our goals are pedestrian safety and accessibility, asthetics, balancing the needs of the neighborhood and enhancing the area, ” said Strand.

But Gene Scrutton, who owns a house on Harbor Avenue, voiced his opposition to the Greenworks proposal.

is coming your way.

Japan suffered extensive damage during the 2011 earthquake.

The scenario authored by the Cascadia Region Earthquake Workgroup (CREW) summarizes not only why Cascadia earthquakes occur repeatedly, but also the likely consequences of the next subduction zone fault rupture. Future such earthquakes and tsunamis will have lasting impacts to coastal communities and the potential to inflict tens of billions of dollars in physical damage, dramatically impacting the region’s economy.

The CREW report, written by a team of social scientists, emergency managers, earth scientists, engineers, public administrators, and businessmen under the umbrella of CREW, provides a guide to citizens curious about the geologic processes that make the Pacific Northwest so rich in natural beauty and resources, to planners wanting to know what hazards they face, and to policy makers striving to make the Pacific Northwest more resilient.

New tsunami evacuation maps released by the Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (DOGAMI) reveal that most homes and businesses in Gleneden Beach from Wallace Street to just south of Salishan are only in the “local” tsunami zone.

Fortunately, none are in the “distant” tsunami zone.

In efforts to prepare citizens for tsunamis, the Depoe Bay Fire District is sponsoring new education efforts to help Gleneden Beach residents prepare for such emergencies.

“We want residents to know how to protect themselves during an earthquake and where to go afterwards,” said Assistant Chief Hank Walling.

On January 26, 1700 an estimated M9 earthquake unzipped the 700-plus mile Cascadia Subduction Zone fault from northern California, USA to southern British Columbia, Canada, much like recent events in 2011 in Japan and 2010 in Chile.

The newly released “Cascadia Subduction Zone Earthquakes: A Magnitude 9.0 Earthquake Scenario” examines how the Pacific Northwest may fare after the next great ‘megathrust’ earthquake and tsunami.

“The new report conveys the most current scientific and emergency planning information accessible to a wide variety of audiences,” said Tamra Biasco of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, one of the lead authors.

The report, issued Monday, comes just before the Great Oregon Shakeout, a statewide earthquake drill Thursday, Oct. 17 at 10:17am.

Tens of thousands of Oregonians, including school children in Lincoln County will “drop, cover, and hold on,” the recommended steps for protecting yourself during an earthquake. Join them by registering at www.shakeout. org/oregon.

“This plan is a joke,” said Scrutton. “It is basically designed by people in Portland who know nothing about the street. We need a usable street with a sidewalk. The City should be working with the people to come up with a workable solution.”

Stephanie Reid, Lincoln City city engineer, said funding the Harbor Avenue improvements could be paid for through the City’s street fund.

“We have street funds set aside for this project, but we’d much rather use grant funding,” said Reid.

“So, we will be applying for a ConnectOregon grant.”

The City is paying Greenworks $25,000 to design the Harbor Avenue improvement.

Reid said the next step would be completing the improvement designs, applying for the grant and getting more public input.

A plan to make Lincoln City’s Harbor Avenue a more pedestrian-friendly and safer north-south route could cost between $500,000 and $750,000 depending on which projects are selected.

Representatives from Greenworks, a Portlandbased architecture firm, outlined the improvements Monday night, Oct. 14, before the Lincoln City City Council.

Greenworks based its list of projects on information gathered during two public meetings with area residents held over the past few months. The plans detailed safety and accessibility and outlined challenges to pedestrians, drivers and residents.

The Greenworks report showed utility poles and vaults, trash receptacles

his plan is a joke. It is basically designed by people in Portland who know nothing about the street.

Most Lincoln City residents benefit directly or indirectly from tourism. Tourists are why we have, for instance, a hospital, seven or eight grocery stores to choose from, a variety of excellent shops, a state-of-the-art Community Center, and more than 90 eating establishments to enjoy. As we approach the winter months and yet more global economic uncertainty, working together to keep our tourism industry healthy is critical. We don’t want to retreat to the 2009 recession from which we are just recovering.

We support all our businesses by keeping tourism healthy, and we do that best as partners. Partners in designing and executing festivals and events for locals and visitors to enjoy. Partners in creating packages to entice visitors here to support our businesses.

Partners in helping them find their way when they appear lost or being patient when they forget to signal a turn. Partners in smiling at a strange face.

If you are interested in holding events or creating packages to help your business, the Visitor & Convention Bureau can help you implement your ideas. We can even help you think of an idea. Just call us at 541-996-1274. The other supporting

actions we all can do as individuals in partnership.

Just this past week, a woman from Keizer reminded me how important our hospitality is. After a series of mishaps, she described her father-in-law’s 63rd birthday, and ended with the following: “…AGAIN someone in Lincoln City wanted to do something nice and beyond the norm. Honestly, if I could make my job open an office there, I would move there. I have not met anyone that is unpleasant, having a bad day or if they are they don’t show it.

I know it’s a tourist town and you have to cater to your business clients type of thing, but everyone is always nice. So, that’s all I wanted to say, I love Lincoln City and the people that live and work there are just exceptional.”

Our Keizer friend wrote that because of how graciously some citizens handled their mishaps.

Thanks to Captain Cook Inn for letting them check in early and Sambo’s for letting them share a breakfast, rather than having to pay for an adult and a kid’s meal, as well as the waitress for bringing them extra napkins. Thanks to the smiling manager of Mulligans for directing them to a place to park for the kite festival and thanking them for coming to town. Thanks to

the woman at the kite festival who gave the 5-year-old, Elianna, a giant 3-D butterfly kite. Thanks to Pirate Dan’s Bakery for being patient while the kids slowly selected their cookies. Thanks to Dairy Queen for giving the 5-year-old a bigger ice cream cone and offering cherries on top when Elianna appeared sad because a store was closed.

Thanks to all of you and those of you who do this all the time for the “Eliannas” of other visits. Thanks

for being great partners in serving our guests and supporting each other’s businesses in the process. A slightly bent rule, a little gift, some information, patience, and even a simple smile are enormously valuable to visitors and even more valuable to our community.

Facility study first step to remodel or replace hospital

By G. Mack McLean

With the headlines and coffee shop chatter our North Lincoln Health-Hospital District Special Board meeting last Friday is likely to generate, it is important to stress that Samaritan North Lincoln is safe! Inspectors arrive regularly with clipboards and checklists to assure the facility patient care systems are meeting and exceeding standards for State facility licensing, Fire Marshall, Medicare Accreditation., etc. In addition, many clinical areas such as the Pharmacy and mammography have accreditation standards of their own. For example, the laboratory is accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). There is no higher standard.

That said, and recognizing our hospital building is aging, the North Lincoln Health District and North Lincoln Hospital Foundation

funded a study to provide us with a comprehensive Facility Assessment. We know there are always immediate budget demands for capital equipment and building repairs that must be prioritized.

At the same time, we need to be planning for the future.

Like most rural hospital boards, Hill-Burton funded rural hospitals of the 1950s and 1960s, it’s our turn to ask the question, “Do we repair and remodel to adapt to 21st century medicine or do we replace the facility?”

On Oct. 11, the North Lincoln Health District Board held a special meeting to hear the findings of a Facility Assessment Study. The report spoke to the condition of the aging 74,000-square-foot building, infrastructure such as plumbing, wiring and air-handling systems, and the building site. There were

no real surprises. Most rural hospitals across the country built in the 1950s and 1960s have reached their useful life and are ill-prepared to meet the traffic flow and security, space and electrical system support for new technology. In addition, there is coastal weather, and the simple 24/7 wear and tear for 46 years have taken its toll and there is the steady demand for compliance with new regulations such as the ADA and HIPPA privacy requirements.

The facility assessment provides a list of repairs and replacement work that should be done over the next five years in the current facility estimated at $5 million. If we choose to stay in the current facility for 10 more years, their list of recommendations comes to $31 million. That’s more than the cost of a downsized replacement hospital, which probably led them to

their final recommendation: “The District begin to look at the full replacement of Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital.”

For the two hours following the presentation, people who attended our public Board meeting discussed the data and brainstormed possible options. All were anxious to know the District’s next step, recognizing that if the decision is to go for a replacement facility, it will still take three to five years to get to a ribbon cutting.

The next step for the District Board is to get with our Samaritan Health System and North Lincoln Hospital Foundation partners and develop two “Decision Trees,” one for a five-year Facility Plan and one for a swlong-term plan.

Autumn means safety first for entire family Halloween • See and Be Seen! Use reflective tape on bags, costumes, shoes, etc. and use face paint instead of masks.

• Accompany children who are trick-or-treating.

• Adults should always check treats for signs of tampering.

• Supervise pumpkin carving and use a child-safe kit.

• Consider a Halloween party in lieu of trick-or-treating outside.

• Always have children remain in the sidewalks and use crosswalks.

Driving Safety • More crashes occur in fall and winter than other seasons.

Sheriff’s Tips

By Sheriff Dennis Dotson Darker, colder conditions call for different driving tactics.

• Look carefully for bikes and motorcyclists—they are small and hard to see.

• Slowdown in inclement weather and maintain extra distance between you and other vehicles.

• Avoid abrupt actions while steering, braking or accelerating

to lessen the chances of losing traction and control of the vehicle.

• Look farther ahead in traffic.

Actions by other drivers will alert you to problems and give you extra time to react.

• Make sure you have an emergency kit in your car.

Hunter Safety • Learn about hunter responsibility and ethics.

• Discover how firearms work and learn about firearm safety.

• Improve your wildlife identification, game care, survival, and first aid skills.

• Know your target. Ensure there is a backdrop.

information on student learning and growth, as well as overall district performance. The new report card is more visual and includes more personalized details about individual schools.

The ODE report card contains two overall ratings: one that compares individual schools to all other schools in the state, and another that compares the school to a group of 20 other schools with similar student demographics, known as “like” or “comparison” schools.

“It makes sense to

compare schools to similar schools because student demographics can make a huge impact on a school’s overall performance,” Rinearson said.

While Taft High School fell below the state average of all schools in terms of academic achievement (between 5 and 15 percent), it rated average in comparison to schools with similar student demographics.

“I think that shows a growth the school has had over the last few years,” Rinearson said. “I think we’ve all known that it’s been on this kind of upward tick, and, while we’d love to

have it up above the state average, it’s good to see with like populations we’re above average. It’s a starting point.”

While Taft High scored well in reading and writing, it failed to fare as well in math.

Taft Principal Majalise Tolan said steps were under way to address the deficiencies in math. For example, two vice principals with math backgrounds have been hired.

“Report cards and assessment data are both important points for schools, districts, and communities to consider when making educational plans,”

Tolan said. “Taft staff will be reviewing the report card information and developing a long-term plan for continued growth in English/Language Arts.

We also will move forward with increasing the use of mathematical practices and critical thinking skills to make positive gains in student achievement in mathematics.”

Tolan outlined more specifically what measures the high school plans to take.

“Taft staff, parents, Site Council members and students will be key stakeholders in planning for growth and accountability as we begin Common Core assessments with SMARTER Balance next year. I’m excited for the path we will be blazing for our students and community.

“Also, we will be working with a national consultant on Common Core Mathematics, Lori Cook, at the K-12 level in Lincoln City beginning in December. Our initial focus K-5 will be in math facts development while our 6-12 grade teachers will focus on specific steps to increase

math problem solving and argumentative writing when making mathematical claims. All three schools are committed to bridging the mathematical gap and seeing long-term gains for our students.”

Oceanlake Elementary School, which has traditionally displayed positive achievement, continued to match state standards for all schools (44 to 90 percent) and comparison schools (middle third).

“Historically. it’s been a school that’s performed well,” Rinearson said, “and I think despite a significant turnover of staff there, to be able to have experienced teachers go out the door and a lot of brand new teachers come in and still maintain that level is good.”

Taft Elementary, previously an underperformer through the years but making strides lately, placed slightly above the state average for all schools and was above average for schools with similar populations.

“I’m pretty thrilled about that,” Rinearson said. “If people remember

where Taft Elementary was, what eight, nine, 10 years ago, they were one of those schools identified on the bottom, so when you look at the progress that staff has made with the kids there over the last 8 to 10 years, it’s pretty impressive.”

Career Tech High School performed under the state average for all schools and below average for schools with similar demographics.

“They’re below state and the population they serve, so we’ll have the annual conversation with them that we have with all the schools, especially when it deals with student achievement,” Rinearson said.

Report cards for each LCSD school are available at www.ode.state.or.us/go/ reportcard and the LCSD and school websites.

“The report card contains a lot of good information,” Rinearson said.

“We encourage parents to review the report card for their child’s school and talk to the principal if they have any questions or concerns.”

region’s tourism industry.

“But I am more concerned about the debt service issue and if the entire economy gets stressed again,” said Pfaff. “Then I think we are back to 2008.”

Following the recession in 2008, people stopped traveling or severely reduced traveling, Pfaff said.

“The plunge in the tourism market in 2008 is something we just recovered from this year,” she said.

The shutdown could also affect families in Lincoln County using social services that depend on federal funds such as Head Start.

Assistance from the State of Oregon has averted the potential closure of two of three Community Services Consortium (CSC) Head Start sites in Lincoln County due to the federal shutdown.

Dr. Suzanne Miller, CSC Head Start Director, said she received word from the state’s Early Learning Division, that the program will receive a $73,556 advance on state funds to cover the

operating costs for the Lincoln City and Toledo sites for the month of November.

“I immediately told the class of 20 children, teachers, and volunteer parents and they all stood up and clapped,” said Miller.

“This is wonderful news,” said Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall, who serves on the governing board of the Community Services Consortium, Head Start’s parent organization. “Head Start plays a vital role in meeting the health, educational, nutritional and child care needs of children and families.

The importance of this cannot be overstated.”

The Lincoln City and Toledo Head Start sites are federally funded and were targeted for closure Nov. 1.

The Newport site, which is supported by state dollars, is not affected by the shutdown.

There are no clear indications how long the shutdown might last. The last time the federal government shut down was for three weeks in 1995.

Business analysts are calling Oct. 17 a more crucial deadline. That is the

day the U.S. government reaches its debt ceiling and becomes unable to borrow more money. A Congressional failure to raise the debt limit — which at this point is possible — could have more far-reaching impacts, including cuts to Social Security, as the government becomes unable to pay its bills.

to the students because they “Italk are at ground zero.

What students think will be a key part of the project launched to help determine the qualifications for candidates who apply to be the next of superintendent of the Lincoln County School District.

Consultant Greg McKenzie, of Window to Leadership LLC, and an associate conducted a series of community meetings earlier this month to gather information about the qualities and qualifications needed in a new superintendent.

McKenzie spoke with student leaders at Taft 7-12 High School about the search.

“I talk to the students because they are at ground zero,” said McKenzie.

“They are in the buildings. The kids had very appropriate answers for elements they’d like to see and for the characteristics they’d like to see in a good leader.”

McKenzie said the students outlined improvements they’d like to see at their school.

“They want more opportunities for non-core classes; more foreign language options and more technical career classes so that as they described it,

- Greg McKenzie, superintendent search coordinator hands-on experience. They liked the quality of the teachers. They felt they have improved in student achievements.”

McKenzie said what he got from the students was “an unfiltered look at what was really going on.”

McKenzie is using what he heard form the students and from adults during the community outreach to develop a needs assessment.

“That will tell prospective candidates who the district is, where they need to go and the types of skills are in the person we are looking for,” said McKenzie.

“So we ask questions about the strength of the district.

That translates into who we are. We ask what needs to be improved. Where do we need to go? We ask about personal and professional characteristics to identify the type of person we should be looking for to fill those needs.”

The district is also using an online survey in the community outreach.

The survey is avail-

able at Lincoln.k12.or.us.

On the home page click on “Superintendent Search.”

“Over the last few years we have seen a decrease in the number of people coming to the community meetings, but an increase in the number of people participating in the process through the online survey,” said McKenzie.

McKenzie will present the outreach information to the board at its Nov. 12 meeting. The board is expected to adopt qualifications and a salary range for the new superintendent search at that regular meeting.

Candidates can apply through January. A district screening committee will narrow the candidate list and the school board is expected to conduct candidate interviews in February and select finalists. A new superintendent could be hired by spring.

The current superintendent, Tom Rinearson, will retire at the end of this school year after serving for the past decade.

Obituary Robert (Jim) James Clarke Nov 7, 1942-Oct 4, 2013 Jim passed away in Sheridan, OR, on Oct. 4th after a five-year battle with Parkinsons Disease.

Jim was born in 11-71942, in Astoria Oregon.

He spent his childhood in Portland, attending Grant High School.

After graduating from high school he enlisted in the US Navy, and was in active service from 1961 to 1963. He was promoted to Signalman, on supply ship USS Regulus. He then served in the US Naval Reserves until 1967, and was honorably discharged.

He took advantage of the GI Bill and graduated from Portland State University, with a BS in Humanities.

He married his high school

sweetheart, Joyce Whittington on April 10, 1965, and they had a wonderful son, Brent Matthew Clarke.

They later divorced. Jim had several jobs before purchasing the Rose Lodge Park Store, including working in the fly fishing department in Norm Thompson in Portland, and working for Travelers Insurance as a claims adjuster. Jim purchased the Rose Lodge Park Store in 1976, and remained owner and operator of the small convenience/gas station/ tackle store until about 2005. He met his future wife shortly after moving to Rose Lodge, and she opened Rose Lodge Feed Store in 1980. They spent 37 wonderful years together, mostly running the stores on a daily basis.

Jim loved the outdoors, camping, and especially fishing on the Salmon River. He was ahead of his time in now-common angling practices such as catch and release fishing, using barbless hooks, and generally being a proponent of responsible fishing.

Unfortunately for some tourists, they found out the hard way that Jim did

Otis man dies in Central Oregon traffic crash Oregon State Police (OSP) are continuing the investigation into the cause of a Sunday afternoon fatal commercial truck crash along Highway 20E east of Bend in Deschutes County. The victim is identified as Edgar Howard Collver, 80, from Otis.

According to OSP, on Oct. 13, at approximately 2:50 p.m., a 1998 Freightliner truck pulling two trailers driven by Collver, was westbound on Highway 20E near milepost 21 when, for an undetermined reason, Collver lost control of the vehicle. The truck and first trailer rolled onto their top and came to rest off the highway and the second trailer came to rest blocking the westbound lane. Due to the wreck and debris, the westbound lane of the highway was blocked until about 10 p.m.

Collver was pronounced dead at the scene. He was using safety restraints.

The trailers were loaded with recycled vehicle parts

An Otis man was killed in this traffic crash near Bend. that spilled onto the roadway. The truck is registered to Wurdinger Recycling

Inc. OSP was assisted at the scene by Deschutes County

Sheriff’s Office, Bend Fire & Rescue, Redmond Fire & Rescue, and ODOT.

Investigators believe a piece of wood placed in the fireplace with extra pitch led to the chimney fire.

Because the homes along Beach Avenue are so close together, Kerr said such a chimney fire could be dangerous.

“In a dryer time of year. this fire would have been an issue,” said Kerr. “Even later in the day today, as the shingles dried and the winds picked up, that could have made a difference.”

Crews were able to put the fire out quickly. There were no injures reported.

Kerr estimates the damage to the home at $2,500.

A chimney fire Oct. 14 in the 4800 block of S.W. Beach Avenue is a good reminder for Lincoln City residents to have their chimneys professionally cleaned before the fall and winter cold season, according to Doug Kerr, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue (NLFR) fire marshal.

NLFR routinely responds to 10 to 20 chimney fires each fall and winter.

As fire crews arrived at the scene, they reported seeing flames and smoke on the roof of the house.

Erica Quam, a longtime college women’s swimming coach and competitor who swam for national powerhouse Indiana University, instructs area swimmers Saturday on technique with the help of video equipment, which included an underwater camera.

Stroke of genius: Local swimmers refine technique

By Jim Fossum sports@thenewsguard

Local swimmers from youth to high school to seniors were trained Saturday by a nationally recognized coach who not only teaches students how to swim, but coaches how to coach.

Erica Quam, a former longtime head women’s swimming coach at Washington State, brought a mobile version of her teaching techniques to the Lincoln City Community Center pool for a two-hour session of lap work, video analysis and consultation designed at making them more efficient with their stroke.

“I love my coaches, but I wanted to have somebody else’s feedback to help make me a better swimmer,” said Ayla Carter, a seventhgrader on the McMinnville Makos swim team. “I feel like I’ve learned more than thought I would. I’m a better swimmer, a better

freestyler, because of it.”

Quam concentrated on freestyle, but went over several strokes with swimmers such as Taft High and Lincoln City Swim Club member Dylan Mickelson.

“I’ve learned better stroke technique,” said Mickelson, who specializes in the 100 backstroke, 100 freestyle and 200 individual

medley. “It’s really helping me see little things in my backstroke. I’m getting more pull out of my arms now.”

However, no stroke gets you from one end of the pool to the other faster than freestyle (front crawl), and it’s the one Quam emphasized in her instruction Saturday, although she was

recruited out of the state of Virginia to swim breaststroke at the University of Indiana. a perennial collegiate swimming power.

“Freestyle’s a swimming stroke that is kind of the one to learn,” said Quam, who came to Lincoln City by the invitation of Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Dept.

Member Service Specialist Loree LaFon. “There are specific ways to make the stroke more efficient and easier, and if you can get the stroke down, and make the stroke more efficient and technically correct, then, if you get stronger, if you train more, and if you increase your endurance, you’re going to go faster.”

Quam, who also competes in triathlons and performs physical therapy, is operator of The Coaching Experience (thecoachingexperience.com), which she started in January 2012, that includes coaching summits that touch on

all areas of the coaching experience.

“I teach coaches how to transform their teams and themselves in big bold ways,” she said.

The summits are twoto three-day retreats for coaches to come together, share ideas, and collaborate with an emphasis on selfcare, personal development and relaxation.

During the summer, she helps lead backpacking courses as an instructor for National Outdoor Leadership School in the Olympics and North Cascades.

Toothless Tigers devoured by Panthers

By Jim Fossum sports@thenewsquard.com

Oregon West Football Standings Conference

School was out statewide Friday, moving prep football games up a day. The Taft Tigers were schooled regardless, however, surrendering 61 points by halftime Thursday in a 61-20 home defeat to Central.

“Some of the effort was there,” first-year Taft coach James Mick said, “but we have got to get better at coming out against a team that we know is good and try to make a play. It’s got to be something we work on.”

The Tigers held the Panthers scoreless in the second half of its Oregon West Conference matchup Thursday, Oct. 12, thanks in great part to a running clock dictated

by Oregon Student Activities Association rules designed to avoid lopsided games.

A week after falling to 35-0 at Philomath after the first quarter, the Tigers chased 5-foot, 11-inch, 175-pound Warriors’ junior running back Wesley Riddell all over the field — but mostly from behind and into the end zone — as the Panthers built a 28-12 first-quarter lead and 61-12 halftime cushion.

“We’ve got to not make the silly mistakes and play with a little bit of passion and that’s what were trying to build on. That’s what we’re shooting for,” Mick said after the Panthers scored 33 unanswered second-quarter points that prompted use of the running clock for games with a 45-point, second-half margin.

It was tough sledding for the Taft High football team Thursday, Oct. 10, as the Tigers found the going rough offensively and even more difficult on the defensive side of the ball in a 6120 defeat to Central.

Lahti scored one touchdown, caught another from senior receiver Seth Steere on a trick play and threw to Steere for a third with 3:30 to play to account for the Tigers’ scoring.

“We did better in the second half, and we pulled some things out of our hat in the first half just to be able

to move the ball a little bit,” Mick said.

Taft (2-5 overall, 0-3 Oregon West) was of little obstruction to perennially powerful Central (5-2, 2-1), which is moving up in class next season to the Class 5A ranks, while the Tigers drop a level to 3A. Mick cited the Panthers’

program as one the Tigers can aspire to become.

Central has a Class 6A size coaching staff, varsity, junior varsity and freshman teams, a strong youth feeder program and a nearby college to help promote interest in the sport, he said.

“They’ve worked hard for that, good for them,” Mick said. “… You kind of make you own path in this world, whether you’re Taft or Central, you make your own path. Is your community willing, is your school willing, are the players and the coaches willing to do what it takes to get there, and they’ve done that to their credit. Hopefully, we’re

taking those steps and will build something like that here.”

On the field, the Tigers can start by tackling better, Mick said.

“You know, we make some strides each week with it,” he said. “It’s something we really focus on. At times, it was better tonight. At times, it wasn’t. When you’re playing a good team with good athletes, sometimes it works better than others.

“We can compete as far as running up and down the field. They’re not beating us.

It’s being stronger and getting to spots and wanting it as much as they want it.”

Mick said he sees a promising future for the

Tigers, if the commitment to improve and compete continues. He recalled his first year at Class 6A Reynolds High School in Troutdale and how it went from one victory his first season as assistant coach to the playoffs before he was hired this summer to take over the Tigers.

“You have to take some of these lumps,” he said.

“I’ve been down this road.

It’s a gradual progression. It takes a minute to get where you want to be. We’re committed to it. Sometime s we get it and sometimes we don’t. I sure hope we get it next week.”

Taft is scheduled to meet Newport, its longtime Central Coast rival, at 7 p.m.

Friday, Oct. 18, for homecoming at Voris Field.

It will mark the last time the teams compete as members of the same league, although both schools have expressed interest in keeping the series going.

“If you’re not excited for that game, I don’t know what will get you excited,” Mick said.

Community Center launches fall, winter recreation It’s official! The transition from summer to fall has taken place during the Lincoln City Community Center’s annual Free For All swim Oct. 11.

The event opens the facility to children of all ages who are allowed come armed with squirt guns, water blasters and pother pool toys.

The Free For All also signals the beginning of fall and winter schedules at the Community Center.

The pool will be a focal point for children and adults this fall and winter.

Center recreation program supervisor

“We are going strong with swim lessons this year,” said Karl McShane, Lincoln City Community Center recreation program supervisor. “We will also be offering the recreation swims Monday,

Wednesday and Friday.”

Another popular fall and winter recreation program at the Center is the children’s soccer league.

“We’ll have kids ranging from ages 6 to 13 in that soccer league,”

said Karl McShane, Lincoln City Community Center recreation program supervisor. “That league will be played right here in our gym.”

Basketball signups are also under way for children first through eighth grades.

“The first and second grade is a co-ed league,” said McShane.

“This year we have added third and fourth grade separate leagues to meet demand and to help build our basketball program.”

Fifth and six graders play in a county ball league and travel from game to game. Seventh and Eight grade boys basketball starts in November and the girls league begins in January.

Many children and adults will also take advantage of the Center’s climbing wall. The wall is open from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday with extended weekend hours. According to McShane, many visitors to Lincoln City come to the Center to use the wall.

“The wall is unique,” he said.

“I don’t think many other community centers have a rock climbing wall. We get several weekend warrior types that bring their rock climbing shoes and their chalk.

We’ll also get the kids that try several attempts to get to the top.”

excellence, and community engagement,” said Bereniece Jones-Cenento, Cascadia Concert Opera artistic director.

“Die Fledermaus”

by Johann Strauss II, is a comic operetta, first performed in 1874, about extravagance, flirtation, mistaken identity, and sweet revenge featuring some of the most captivating and memorable melodies ever composed.

Kindred spirit

On Going Events

I love to sit by the fire in winter and dream of the good life.

Yet I think of those living outdoors—sometimes called “ the invisible people.”

I have gotten to know a few.

I met Phil a couple of years ago; he was in constant pain: He would grab his stomach and double over, even as we talked. Mildmannered and polite, he had been homeless for years.

One day, he had collapsed on Highway 101 and was rushed to the emergency room.

Of course, he had no insurance. He had been an addict for years.

He was soon able to get into one of the local recovery houses. After six months clean and sober, he was still in constant pain. He collapsed again in a coma one night at the house The doctors finally gave Phil a thorough exam. His body was riddled with cancer.

Within a year, Phil was dead. He died happier, they said, than he had been in years; he died clean and sober. He died reconciled with the daughter he had not seen for years.

But I was devastated. I can hardly imagine being homeless with terminal cancer without even pain medication.

A few years back, I published a magazine called “The Kindred Spirit.” It was about “the poor, the sick, the powerless and the compassionate.” The Kindred Spirit tells us that all men and women are brothers and sisters. We are literally one family. The compassionate are those who are driven to help others.

Good people are willing to help in this community.

Churches and nonprofits may provide a room, gas, shower, clothes and food. But it’s a bandage. And my magazine seemed a voice crying in the wilderness — a dream of better, different times.

I grew up in a privileged neighborhood. My parents took responsibility. If a stranger started sleeping outside, my father didn’t pretend not to see him. He talked to the person and made sure that person got help.

Most Americans are only a couple of paychecks from being homeless. Most are homeless only once in their life — and for less than a year.

And I know a little of what it is like to hit bottom. In 1970, I wound up in Mendocino, Calif, living in the back of my truck — penniless and unemployed.

But my experience restored my faith. I learned that people in our country do not stand around watching while you suffer and die. Given a chance, most Americans are kind and generous; they are Kindred Spirits — not Republicans or Democrats, not rich or poor, not liberals or conservatives. They step forth and give you the helping hand you need. That’s the kind of country this is.

Or, maybe, was.

Nationally, politicians today are risking everything.

Not to help the sick. Just the opposite. They are keeping healthcare from millions of Americans, most of them children.

Sometimes homeless people call me during bad weather about our emergency shelter. It’s usually not open because the weather is just not bad enough. This year, it might not open at all.

Lincoln City does not have a permanent shelter. I hope we can offer our brothers and sisters something more than a mild climate.

So the dream of Kindred Spirit goes on: A new program, Family Promise, a year-round shelter for some of that 90 percent of ordinary Americans — families — starts up this year in Lincoln City.

There is also meeting at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, at Driftwood Library, to discuss keeping a community emergency shelter open again this year.

Kids Sing Out performance workshop set Registration is under way for the fall/Christmas session of Kids Sing Out at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 N.E. Highway 101. The first workshop is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, and is designed to develops vocal and performance skills for children in the fourth through the eighth grades.

The cost is $40 per child.

Performance dates and times are: • 7 p.m. Friday, Dec 13 • 3 and 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec 14 • 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec 15 In 2012, Kids Sing Out exceeded all its goals on its first Christmas production when it played to packed houses for three shows. A fourth show has been added to this year’s program.

“Our goal for Kids Sing Out (KSO) and our full Christmas production is to make this event a ‘must see,’

not only for Lincoln City residents, but also to attract many of our visitors,” said John Kendall Flying Fish Productions producer. “We learned a lot from our first major production last year.

This year, we will push the envelope a little farther. It seems the kids and other local talent keep on rising to the occasion.”

This year, KSO Director Valerie Kendall is writing what organizers call a unique new musical, The Gift. The Gift is designed to utilize the best skills of the KSO kids plus younger children as well.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am,” said Kendall.

“We thought it would take several years to pull our kids into the full musical theatre experience, but here we are.”

The Kendalls said they took inspiration from what Missoula Children’s Theatre accomplishes in Lincoln

Lincoln County area. The program helps those who have exhausted every other avenue of assistance to meet immediate and basic shortterm needs.

It may be the young mother left to fend for herself with no money to feed her children, an elderly man who has had his heat turned off in the dead of winter, or a young man desperately in need of employment, who receives assistance. It’s anonymous and a one-time only helping hand extended to residents of North Lincoln County.

Approximately 30 trees, sponsored by local businesses and individuals who

spend hundreds of dollars for the ornaments and hours decorating, will be on display at this year’s Festival of Trees.

Over past years, the themes of the individual trees have included Betty Boop, Firemen, Harry Potter, chocolates, peacocks, roses, ballerinas, fishing, oldfashioned Christmas, handcarved ornaments, and many splendidly trimmed in specific colors.

Decorating of the Christmas trees will begin Tuesday, Dec. 3, at noon. Sponsors have until the following noon to finish their trees and have them ready for viewing.

Viewing of the trees begins on noon Wednesday, Dec. 4, and continues through Saturday, conclud-

ing with the auction Saturday evening, Dec. 7, at the Angel’s Ball. This is a familyfriendly event open to all.

There is no admission fee.

In addition to the auctioning of trees, there will be drawings, special auction items and holiday wreathes to bid on. The final bidding will occur at the Holiday Ball from 5:30 p.m. to midnight on Saturday, Dec 7. Live music will be provided by Funktastik Motown and Soul Review. Tickets for the Holiday Ball are $75 and include passed hors d’ oeuvres, dinner, dancing and the auction. Seating is limited.

Tickets can be purchased at the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce located at 4039 N.W. Logan Road. Call 541994-3070.
