LINCOLN CITY, OREGON
ODOT attempts to hold the line PATRICK ALEXANDER The News Guard
North Lincoln County tourists and residents will be in search of a taste of Italy with the Sunday, Oct. 14, closing of the Italian Riviera Restaurant and Piano Bar at 3400 N. Highway 101. Opened 27 years ago, the DiBlasi family and their Italian dining and night club-style entertainment establishment closed its doors late Sunday night as renowned local pianist and restaurant owner Ric, his wife, Valerie, her 95-yearold mother, Anna, and Ric and Valerie’s 12-year-old, seventh-grade daughter, Cesarina, laid down their last plate of spaghetti and meatballs to wide-eyed customers.
Of all Oregon’s 8,000 miles of highway, perhaps none is perched as precariously as Highway 101, whose cliff-top route leaves it exposed to the furious power of the Pacific Ocean. Now, erosion at Beverly Beach, midway between Lincoln City and Newport, has caused the highway to start crumbling away as the cliff erodes beneath it, causing concerns for one of the county’s major road users.

aft Elementary School has received recognition as one of two Model Schools in the 16-school Lincoln County School District, according to the 2011-2012 report card issued Thursday, Oct. 11, by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). “We are extremely pleased that we have two Model Schools in our district,” LCSD Superintendent Tom Rinearson said. “Taft Elementary has just been added to the list, joining Sam Case Primary. That means that these schools have excellent student outcomes and will be a resource to e are extremely other schools in pleased that we have the state.” Model schools two model schools are defined as high in our district ... That means poverty schools these schools have excellent that are rated in student outcomes... the top 5 percent of Title I schools - Superintendent Tom Rinearson in Oregon based on new rating formula. Model schools are showcased as examples of successful student outcomes and will help support other schools through Continuous Improvement Networks. “Taft Elementary staff definitely earned recognition as a model school,” Taft Elementary Principal Chris Sullivan said. “We have the best teachers, amazing kids and fantastic families. All staff, education assistants, specialists, teachers, cooks, custodians and parents are responsible for our impressive student growth. As we continually strive to improve, it is important to reflect on how far we take kids each year at this school.” The ODE rates schools as “Outstanding,” “Satisfactory,” or “In Need of Improvement” based on factors that include student test results and participation in testing. “Our other schools, for the most part, are also performing well,” Rinearson said. “The recent state assessment [Oregon Assessment of Knowledge and Skills, or OAKS] shows that the majority of our schools are trending upward, even with the academic bar being raised. We see that our students are continuing to improve.”

“It’s beyond the white line,” North Lincoln Sanitary Service (NLSS) President Tina French said. “There’s a big sinkhole beyond Beverly Beach. There’s a big drop off this side of Beverly Beach. That whole area is pretty unstable.” French said NLSS drivers travel that section of highway regularly, both to pick up trash and recycling from homes in Beverly Beach and to transport loads of cardboard and woodchips to the Georgia Pacific plant in Toledo.

City stretches supply by plugging leaks PATRICK ALEXANDER The News Guard
Four years ago, whenever a Lincoln City resident used 20 gallons of water to take a shower, another 13 gallons of water would disappear from the system, largely without trace. Now, that same shower results in the loss of less than five gallons thanks to an aggressive program of leak repair aided by new, high-tech leak detection equipment. At Lincoln city Council’s Oct. 8 meeting, City

Manager David Hawker revealed that a flurry of recent leak repairs has seen the City’s unbilled water rate drop from more than 40 percent in 2008 to less than 20 percent. Leading the hunt has Water Distribution Supervisor Dave Scheib, who told councilors that the recent purchase of an AC Digital Correlation System has helped him and his team track down leaks they could not find with their old equipment.

Fire destroys restaurant A fire has destroyed the premises occupied by the Puerto Vallarta restaurant at 3001 N.W. Highway 101 in Lincoln City. Doug Kerr, fire marshal with North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1 (NLFR), said the blaze was reported just before midnight on Tuesday, Oct. 9, with NLFR sending three fire engines and a heavy rescue vehicle to the scene. Depoe Bay Fire and Rescue also sent an engine to help attack the fire while Nestucca Rural Fire Protection District moved one of their engines to the Bob Everett Fire Station in Oceanlake to provide cover. Kerr said the fire caused an estimated $200,000 worth of damages to the building and another $40,000 to $50,000 of damage to its contents. He said the fire most likely started in an electrical panel.
Council hears bike/ped proposal PATRICK ALEXANDER The News Guard
A draft plan laying out potential biking and walking improvements for Lincoln City received a generally warm welcome from city councilors at their Oct. 8 meeting. The plan, developed by consultants with the help of a pubic advisory committee, sets out a range of improvements including bike lanes, sidewalks and traffic calming measures — making recommendations for what types of facility might be appropriate for each type of street.

Leaks
From page A1
The purchase of better leak-detection equipment was one of Mayor Dick Anderson’s top priorities upon taking office in 2011. In May 2011, Anderson won support for the idea of allocating up to $50,000 of the City’s reserve funds for improved equipment, saying the City had to take its leakage problem seriously if it was going to ask water users to conserve. After testing various models, City staff chose the AC Digital Correlation System earlier this year, saying the equipment allowed them to detect leaks to within one foot. Scheib showed councilors a slideshow of leaks his crew have been able to find using the new kit, including one broken pipe on West Devils Lake Road that leaked an estimated 131 million gallons of water per year. Hawker said cutting the amount of water lost through leaks results in some savings in the electricity and chemicals needed to process source water from Schooner Creek but that the real benefit comes from reducing the amount of water the plant needs to produce to keep up with peak demand. “How much water we

ODOT spokesman Rick Little said the agency’s options for protecting the road are limited by the fact that state’s land use goals do not include highways in their definition of “development.� Land Use Goal 18 only allows local authorities to issue permits for shoreline armoring such as riprap to properties that were developed prior to 1977. Even though Highway 101 was in place before 1977, the fact that state planners do not class the highway as “development� means any armoring would require an exception to the rules. Little said such a process would be time consuming and expensive, with no guarantee of success. “Candidly, given the influence of scientific and environmental opposition to beach armoring, we’re pessimistic about that approach,� he said. In 2002, ODOT asked the Department of Land Conservation and Development to exempt the Beverly Beach site and about two dozen other sections of Highway 101 from the armoring prohibition, but to no avail. At that time, environmental

are going to need for our future has a lot to do with our peak demand,� he said, adding: “we are extending our water supply, which is the main purpose of doing this.� Four years ago, the City’s water plant needed to produce nearly 3 million gallons per day to keep the showers running and toilets flushing during periods of peak demand, when all the hotels, vacation rentals and second homes are full during high summer. The City’s success in plugging leaks means the water plant can now supply peak demand with just 2 million gallons per day. The lower the level of leakage, the longer the City’s existing water sources will last in the face of either population growth or an increase in the summer peak season. In 2000, the City embarked on a now-completed $1.25-million deal to buy water rights to Drift Creek from the KernvilleGleneden Beach-Lincoln Beach Water District — a source Hawker described as the last free-flowing water source the community is likely to see. Options for future water sources are all expensive, including desalination, a dam on Seid Creek or partnering with Newport
and other cities to create a dammed reservoir at Rocky Creek south of Depoe Bay. Hawker said estimating how long the City’s current supplies will be able to keep up with growth depends on several factors including how much water is likely to be available in Schooner Creek and Drift Creek. He said the City does not have good information on how long the springs that feed the creeks take to recharge after dry periods, adding that climate change could cause flows to increase or decrease. Another variable, Hawker said, is what level of growth the community will see. He said the City’s plans assume a growth rate of 2 percent a year — a rate that the community did not see even during the building boom years because so much of the construction was of second homes. Hawker said that if the City can drive its unbilled water rate down to 15 or 10 percent, it should have enough water to deal with 25 years of 2-percent growth, as long as some water conservation measures are put in place. The question is ‘how much could that be extended by even more conservation over time?’� he said. “I think that remains to be seen.�
groups expressed concern that riprap structures simply pass the problem of erosion on to neighboring properties while magnifying the scouring effect of the waves. “There is nothing in the social or political landscape of today to suggest that the agency would ever be successful in gaining a Goal 18 exemption to armor the coastline,� Little said. “So we look at other alternatives and other options.� With armoring off the table, ODOT has developed a long-range plan to move the highway out of harm’s way by shifting the roughly 1-mile long at-risk section 50 feet to the east. According to an environmental impact statement produced in 2006, the move would safeguard the highway from erosion for about 50 years. The only problem is the price tag. At an estimated cost of $50 million, shifting the mile of highway would cost more than two and half times ODOT’s annual budget for highway enhancement in the northwest region of the state. Little said ODOT’s district manager is also exploring a shorter-range plan to stabilize the existing highway without resorting to rip
rap. He said a preliminary cost estimate for the work is about $1 million — with 2016 the earliest possible date that funding could be awarded. “The unfortunate reality is that projects compete against each other for funding,� Little said, “and so far, other projects have received priority.� Meanwhile, French is concerned at the effect that a break in the highway at that location would have on the county’s economy, including her own business’ operations. “To get our commodities to Georgia Pacific we would have to go clear through Highway 99 and back around,� she said. “It would more than quadruple the price of transportation and there’s customers that couldn’t be served.� Little said ODOT is monitoring the site and ready to respond “at a moment’s notice� if the highway fails. “We understand thoroughly how important this highway is as a lifeline route and an economic link,� he said. “If an emergency threatens, we will act quickly.�

Bob Hunt urged councilors to consider the growing economic importance of bicycle tourism while Lincoln County Public Health Director Joell Archibald said encouraging biking and walking can help combat chronic diseases. Only Mike Meyer spoke in opposition to the plan, which he described as “frivolous and costly,� adding that the proposed improvements would benefit only a small percentage of the population. Meyer said much of the city is too hilly to be suitable for bicycle paths. He said the plan’s suggestion that councilors consider new revenue sources including a fuel tax was proof that its authors were “living in Bizarro-world.� “This town should set an example by not pandering to every special interest group that appears before this council with its hand out,� he said. Mayor Dick Anderson pointed out that adopting the plan does not tie the City in to adopting any
of the suggested funding sources within it. Anderson did ask that planners remove the reference to a 5-year timeline, saying it could take the City considerably longer to enact the plan at current funding levels. “Without funding, this isn’t a 5-year plan,� he said. Councilor Gordon Eggleton expressed concern that bike or pedestrian improvements to Highway 101 might impact motorized traffic. “How do we know that this is not going to grind 101 to a halt?� he asked. Martzahn said any highway work would require permission from ODOT, which has an interest in keeping traffic moving. “I just can’t envision a situation where we are going to be obstructing the highway,� she said. Councilors continued the public hearing to their Oct. 22 meeting, 6 p.m., City Hall. The plan is available at http://www.lincolncitypedbike.org.
Plan
From page A1
Planners used Monday’s public hearing to stress that, while full build out of the plan would require new taxes or fees, there are many parts that the City can put into practice with its existing funding. The City’s Senior Planner Debra Martzahn said the City’s current funding would allow it to tackle some road striping and ADA compliance issues as well as possibly some signage and low-cost traffic calming measures. She said the City would also plan on including bike and pedestrian improvements into public works projects that are already budgeted. Meanwhile, she said, the City could work with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) to try and unlock funding for bike lanes and sidewalks on Highway 101. Several members of the audience spoke in favor of the proposed plan, including Denise Squires, who described herself as a “member of the mommystroller brigade.� She said small pedestrian improvements, such as the recently constructed sidewalk near the post office make a big difference to people who do not drive. “Filling in the gaps in the seven miracle miles will make this community stronger,� she said.

Family rescued from Siletz Bay
Laser disrupts chopper training The U.S. Coast Guard has revealed that it aborted a helicopter training mission near Depoe Bay on Sept. 12 after someone on the ground pointed a laser at the cockpit. The Coast Guard’s MH-65D Dolphin Helicopter crew was conducting training near Depoe Bay with a Coast Guard small boat around 8:30 p.m. when someone directed a green laser at the aircraft from shore. After being lased, the crew decided to return to
the Coast Guard Air Facility in Newport, Ore. The helicopter crew was not the only crew affected that night. After illuminating the helicopter the laser was directed toward the boat crew during their transit back to the station. In an Oct. 4 press release, the Coast Guard said Green and red lasers pose a significant hazard to flight and boat crews, especially when the helicopter crews are operating at low altitude at night or the boat crews are battling treacherous condi-
tions. Pointing a laser at any aircraft is a federal offense. The Federal Aviation Administration reports that laser incidents involving aircraft increased by 902 percent from 2005 to 2011. The Coast Guard is urging anyone who sees someone point a laser at one of its air or boat crews to call 911. Anyone with information about the Sept. 12 incident in Depoe Bay is encouraged to call Group/Air Station North Bend Command Center at 541-756-9210.

From page A1
While Taft Elementary and Oceanlake — both rated outstanding in attendance and participation — received overall “satisfactory” ratings, Taft High 7-12 was listed among schools “In Need of Improvement.” “I agree with that rating, as we still have a lot of room to grow,” Principal Scott Reed said. Taft High’s reading and writing scores have stayed steady, while science has taken a dip, Reed said. Math is the school’s current focus area, and it has put its resources there, he said. “We are excited about the investment in quality math instruction in kindergarten through 12th grade in Lincoln City, and we look forward to improvement,” he said. Joining Taft and Oceanlake elementary schools in the satisfactory category were Eddyville Charter, Newport Intermediate, Toledo Elementary, Toledo Junior/Senior High, and Waldport High School. Joining Taft High on the “needs improvement” list were Newport High, Newport Prep Academy and Siletz Valley Charter School. Lincoln City Career Tech High School and Siletz Valley Early College Academy were not rated due to insufficient data. The Oregon Report Card (ORC) shows that LCSD
Local dropout rate lower than state average
A steady decline in Lincoln County School District’s high school dropout rate over the past decade exceeds a similar reduction in the statewide rate, which also indicates greater graduation among its students. LCSD’s cohort dropout rate has steadily declined from 7.1 to 2.8 percent over the past decade, while the statewide rate also has improved, but at a slower pace, from 5.2 to 3.3 percent. Most important to know, Joe Novello, LCSD federal programs/operations administrator, said, is that a school district’s cohort graduation rate and dropout rate are not directly comparable. “The dropout rate does not equal the cohort graduation rate subtracted from the total number of students,” he said of figures announced earlier this year by the Oregon Department of Education (ODE). “We have a district cohort graduation rate of 66.6 percent. This does not mean we have a dropout rate of 33.4 percent. Instead, our district dropout rate is 2.8 percent, which is lower than the state average of 3.3 percent.” According to the data, Taft High 7-12 has the lowest dropout rate of the public high schools in Lincoln County, with 1.3 percent. It is followed by Lincoln County Career Tech Charter School (1.64 percent), Eddyville Charter (1.75), Waldport High (2.12), Newport High (2.57), Siletz Early College Academy (3.9) and Toledo Jr./Sr. High (5.91). performed better or nearly the same as the state’s other districts in nine of 14 assessment categories. The categories in which the school district exceeded or were close to state results are reading in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 11; and math in grades 3, 4 and 5. Of LCSD’s 16 public and charter schools, three are
rated as outstanding: Crestview Heights School, Isaac Newton Magnet School and Sam Case Primary School. It is the eighth year in a row for Isaac Newton to attain the top rating, and the fourth consecutive year for Crestview Heights. LCSD Data Coordinator Mary Kelly said that the ORC is based on two years’

worth of data and is broken into subgroups. As few as one or two students in just one subgroup can impact the difference between outstanding, satisfactory, and needing improvement, Kelly said. The subgroups are American Indian/Alaskan Native, Asian/Pacific Islander, Black (not of Hispanic origin), Hispanic, White (not of Hispanic origin), Multi-Ethnic, male, female, talented and gifted, students with disabilities, migrant, limited English proficient, and economically disadvantaged. Kelly said that Taft High’s graduation rate is a challenge because of the way data is analyzed using graduation cohort rates from the 2009-10 and 201011 school years. “A student is put into a cohort year based on when they first entered high school, anywhere inside or outside the U.S.,” Kelly said. “If they are enrolled at Taft after they have been in high school for four or five years anywhere else in the world and they do not graduate, they are held accountable against Taft.” The report card also listed Siletz Valley Charter School as a Priority School. As defined by the federal government, these are high
poverty schools that are ranked in the bottom 5 percent of Title I schools in the state based on Oregon’s new rating formula. The schools generally have very low achievement and growth and need additional support and intervention. Rinearson said that LCSD administrators have been offering support to the administration and teachers at Siletz Charter
School, and that gains are being made. The number of students who met targets in math nearly doubled in one year, yet wasn’t enough to meet the higher academic standards. The ORCs for all of the state’s public schools and school districts are available for viewing online at the LCSD web site, www. lincoln.k12.or.us.

Get prepared for winter driving Sheriff’s Tips By Sheriff Dennis Dotson
Winter weather is fast approaching and soon motorists will be operating their cars in heavy rain, standing water, on snow, ice, and hail. Is your vehicle ready? Aside from encouraging you to provide standard maintenance for your vehicle, your Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office offers the following tips to make sure your car is ready for operation in bad weather. When the rain is falling and the roadways are wet, light is absorbed and hinders your ability to see.
Make sure that all of the lighting on your vehicle is in good condition and replace burned-out bulbs. Make sure the low and high beam headlight bulbs are working. If you see moisture condensed inside your headlight, your headlight seal is not working correctly and the headlight should be replaced. Check your vehicle’s tires. Make sure they have sufficient tread depth and that the tread is not more worn on one side of the tire than the other. Uneven tire wear is an indication that your vehicle is out of alignment. If your tires display more tread wear in the center or outside edges, then your tire pressure could be too high or too low. Be sure
the tire pressure is at the level recommended by the car’s manufacturer. Tires with little or no tire tread will hydroplane easily, which can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Check your spare tire too. Knowing how to change a flat tire on your car and ensuring you have all the tools needed can be handy. Practice changing a tire in your driveway with a family member or friend to help if you are unsure. Be sure to check your vehicle’s windshield wipers. Sun and heat cause the rubber blades of the windshield wipers to become hard and even crack. Ice can also damage wipers. The blades should be soft; otherwise they tend to bounce across the windshield leaving
steaks or gaps where the water is not removed. This results in limiting driver visibility. Also make sure the inside of your windshield is clean and free of streaks. Keep a travel kit in your vehicle. The kit should consist of at least the following items: • At least six flares. • Flashlight and spare batteries. Test your flashlight. The batteries die over time, even if you don’t use them. • Space blanket. • Brightly colored and reflective jacket or other outer garment. Should your vehicle break down, or if you need to change a flat tire at the side of the road, you will want passing motorists to be able to see you from far
away. • Bottled water. • Power bars or another form of food that can be stored in your vehicle for a long period of time without deteriorating and be able to provide high calories and nutrition without the need for cooking it. • First aid kit. • Fire extinguisher. Always travel with a cell phone and for longer trips, be sure to let a friend or relative know where you’re going, when you should arrive, and the route you are going to take. For more tips and information, please visit our website at www.lincolncountysheriff.net or on Facebook at Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office – Oregon.

That choice will come in November when they’ll be asked to vote for the Children’s Trust of Lincoln County which would create a safety net for the area’s poorest and most vulnerable families. Portland voters did just that, in 2002 and 2008, with the creation and then, overwhelming renewal, of the Portland Children’s Levy. During the past 10 years, city residents agreed that making children a priority equates to long-term benefits, including better
educational attainment and earning capacity, and lower rates of delinquency, crime and school failure. Similar to the Lincoln County plan, the Portland Children’s Levy funds proven programs so that more than 15,000 children each year arrive at school ready to learn, are engaged in quality after-school and mentoring programs and then head home to stronger and more stable families. Through 2012, more than $90 million invested in local social service organizations has reaped vast benefits for the entire community. Business owners, school officials, civic leaders and everyday citizens recognize that a strong commitment to our
next generation produces far-reaching outcomes for everyone such as: On track child development; Improved child health and wellness; Increased child early literacy; Enhanced child stability Dan and welfare; Saltzman Better school attendance/behavior and academic achievement and homework completion; Increased positive social behaviors/self confidence and connection to school; Fewer calls to child abuse hotlines
from participating families/ programs. Parents have been able to hang on to their jobs because of childcare tuition assistance, while moms and dads dealing with addiction and mental health issues can keep their families together through counseling and respite care. And children suffering from the effects of child abuse and neglect have found a buffer in programs providing mentors, life skills training, therapy and educational support. Voting for a tax increase isn’t easy, especially in these tough economic times. But we know our help is more crucial than ever as many nonprofits, already oper-
ating with lean budgets, wrestle with growing wait lists of needy families who have nowhere else to turn. We also have found that voters are willing to pay for worthy programs when they see a high return for their investment, which they have. Residents of Lincoln County are fortunate to live in a community abundant in natural resources and beauty. I hope you will up the odds for those less fortunate with a “yes” vote for the Children’s Trust of Lincoln County.
taxes will be paid, unlike what is required from our existing casinos and finally, independent audits are required to insure that the money goes where it is supposed to. Certainly, one can see how the current casinos are against this, however, remember, there are no existing casinos anywhere near there. So again, weigh the pluses vs. the minuses.

Voices of Lincoln County Vote Dave Gomberg
David Gomberg deserves your vote for State Representative. We are in challenging times. Our state legislator must understand the unique needs and opportunities here on the Central Oregon Coast, and be committed to standing up to powerful outside interests, even if they are from your own political party. As a small business owner and long-time resident of Lincoln County, David Gomberg understands our community, and the critical role our state representative must play in Salem. Unlike the federal government, Oregon must balance its budget. Nearly all discretionary state dollars are spent on education, human services, and public safety. Balancing those three vital functions is an enormous challenge, especially in tough times. Upsetting the balance of one harms the others. For example, when school funding is slashed, public safety is negatively impacted. David understands this balance, and is committed to fighting for effective education, human services, and public safety. There are some who would gut public safety to better fund education and human services. Others would gut human services to better fund public safety. Those
efforts are short-sighted and misplaced. From a public safety standpoint, I am interested in having a state legislator who not only gets this important balance, but is ready to put common sense and our community ahead of party politics and special interests. David Gomberg is that person. That is why David has the endorsement of the Oregon Chiefs of Police Association, and my endorsement, too. Please join me in voting for David Gomberg for State Representative. Rob Bovett Lincoln County District Attorney
Disappointed in casino response
I was saddened to see the Governor come out against the Grange casino project. When weighing the positives vs. the negatives, I find the positives win the day. The suggested negatives are only possibilities, which I find unconvincing, for instance the claim that the casino will bring crime to the area. Sure hasn’t been the case here in Lincoln City. On the positive side you have approximately 2000 jobs created in a time where we desperately need jobs in the area. The Grange will be required to pay 25% of their earnings to Oregon schools and other vital services, certainly a plus for the economy. All local and state

Agency opts for slimmed-down toolbox PATRICK ALEXANDER The News Guard
An economic development toolbox for Lincoln City is set to use more than $1 million dollars in urban renewal money to create a few well-funded programs rather than a wider range of smaller approaches. Directors of the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency decided on the targeted approach at their Oct. 8 meeting, directing staff to proceed with four out of the 22 economic development options they had presented. “Rather than just spread a bunch of money at a bunch of things and not have much impact, I would rather have a larger impact on fewer programs,” Councilor Roger Sprague said. Olsen told directors the Agency has budgeted $700,000 toward economic development activities this year, in addition to another
$400,000 already allocated to its existing property rehabilitation loan program. Directors recently boosted that program by increasing the loan cap from $50,000 to $75,000 and widening the range of construction work for which the funds can be used. At their Oct. 8 meeting, directors directed staff to develop new programs offering similar interest-free loans for business expansion and energy efficiency. The business expansion loan would offer money for expansion of premises or purchase of equipment that would create the equivalent of at least one full-time job, with the amount of loan based on the number of jobs created. Meanwhile, the energyefficiency program would offer loans to fund improvements such as solar panels, new windows or furnaces — bringing down businesses’
utility costs. Directors also gave their blessing to the creation of a program that would offer funding support to existing economic development work carried out by groups like the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, the Oregon Coast Community College’s Small Business Development Center and the Lincoln County Economic Development Alliance. Olsen said staff should be able to develop the three new programs fairly quickly. Meanwhile, the Agency will continue to look at the feasibility of three other programs —a mixed-use housing loan that would offer funds to rehabilitate upper floors of commercial buildings into low-cost housing; a program aimed at encouraging the use of chronically vacant storefronts; and a business start up loan.
Olsen said staff will search for existing versions of such programs to answer questions about whether they work well. “I’m not sure how you get collateral for a business startup,” he said. “Especially a business startup that has to come to us for money to start up.” Councilor Chester Noreikis said getting involved in business start ups and filling vacant storefronts could take the Agency out of its realm of expertise. “I have reservations about a business start up loan as us trying to decide appropriate businesses to startup,” he said. Olsen said staff will keep the remaining programs “in the mix” and ask directors if they want to broaden the range of economic development options in the 2013-14 fiscal year.

Italian Riviera closes doors after 27 years JIM FOSSUM The News Guard
North Lincoln County tourists and residents will be in search of a taste of Italy with the Sunday, Oct. 14, closing of the Italian Riviera Restaurant and Piano Bar at 3400 N. Highway 101. Opened 27 years ago, the DiBlasi family and their Italian dining and night club-style entertainment establishment closed its doors late Sunday night as renowned local pianist and restaurant owner Ric, his wife, Valerie, her 95-year-old mother, Anna, and Ric and Valerie’s 12-year-old, seventh-grade daughter, Cesarina, laid down their last plate of spaghetti and meatballs to wide-eyed customers. “We’ve just been doing what we love,” said Ric, who started performing along the Oregon Coast at Gracie’s Sea Hag in Depoe Bay after
JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD
The DiBlasi family — Valerie, Ric, Cesarina and Anna — stand in front of the Italian Riviera Restaurant and Piano Bar south of Lincoln City, which is closing its doors after more than a quarter of a century of dining and entertainment service to Lincoln County residents and tourists. moving from the Seattle area in the 1980s. “We’ve been having lots of fun and making lots of friends. It just
seemed like time to move on.” Ric’s new life will include a two-month stint begin-
ning Nov. 18 as a cruise ship piano bar performer with Holland America Line. Valerie will continue running Highland Horse Center just north of town, which features 24 stalls and shows and clinics. “I can’t believe it’s been 27 years. It doesn’t seem like 27 years,” Valerie said. “Our daughter’s going to be 13, and it seems like just yesterday that she was born. She’s grown up here in the restaurant. The time has flown by.” The original restaurant was a mere 10-table establishment just north of its present location, one-quarter of the size of the one that has been serving customers for a quarter of a century. “We’ve been talking about closing for a long time, almost a year, but thought, let’s go through summer and the busy time before shutting down,” Ric
said. “We didn’t want to make a big deal or big scene out of it.” Ric said his family would greatly miss serving homespun Italian recipes and enticing bar customers to their dance floor. “We had known each other for a long time and had always wanted to have piano bar,” Ric said. “We thought, there’s no Italian restaurant here. It was our goal to be that nice, Italian restaurant and share family

Checking before they dig PATRICK ALEXANDER The News Guard
Lincoln City planners have held off on approving a contract for design of a “feature street” in Nelscott to give residents of the area one last chance to opt for burying utility lines underground before work begins. The proposed Marview project would see S.W. Anchor Avenue updated with traffic calming, parking and improved storm drainage as part of a plan that received near-unanimous approval from property owners. Urban Renewal Agency Executive Director Kurt Olsen said one of the aims of the project is to slow traffic on S.W. Anchor Avenue, which he said is almost as wide as Highway 101. “Whenever traffic is bad on 101, we all use that street,” he said. “And so does everyone else.” While the urban renewal plan prevents the agency from paying for underground utilities anywhere other than Taft’s S.W. 51st Street and certain areas of Highway 101, residents of S.W. Anchor Avenue have twice voted on whether to form a local improvement district to pay for the work themselves. Both times, the idea was rejected, most recently in 2008. Mayor Dick Anderson said he would like to be sure that property owners have not changed their minds in the four years since then before approving a design. “I’d love to hear the owners say ‘no,’” he said, “because there would be nothing worse for us, the week after we’ve started the design program, to start hearing that had we only been asked someone would have been willing to pay for the undergrounding.” Olsen agreed to confer with the Nelscott Neighborhood Association and report back to the Agency.

State Representative David Gomberg What is your current job?
I’m a locally based small business owner. We design, wholesale, and retail kites.
What in your background do you feel qualifies you for this office?
I’m a small business owner in a small business district. I previously ran the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce. For 25 years, I have been an active proponent of tourism, the coastal economy, and our special quality of life. I’ve also presided over an interDavid national trade Gomberg organization. Some years ago, I worked in our legislature as administrator of the House Education Committee and then as a state administrative law judge. I’ve earned a Master’s Degree in Political Science and Economics (OSU), and an MBA (Willamette). I believe we should send people to our legislature with real-world experience in both the private and public sector, and — most important — understand the needs and priorities of our community. That’s why I’m running.
What do you feel are the main challenges ahead for this office?
Creating living wage jobs throughout Oregon and par-
ticularly here on the Coast. Providing the infrastructure for businesses — especially small business — to succeed. Strengthening our education system to better prepare students for those jobs. And providing critical services and support for our aging population.
ones. Regulations affecting beach use or fireworks; rules designed for large businesses that burden smaller ones; power outages and communication black-outs; beach clean-up. A legislator from the Coast needs to stay on top of small issues so they don’t become big problems.
What specifically coastal issues would you hope to raise in Salem?
Why should voters support you rather than your opponent in this race?
I’ve mentioned job creation, education funding, small business, and senior issues. Another critical component is health care and the cost of insurance. Health care is the third largest employer here on the coast. But we need to make that care more accessible and affordable to everyone. I’m a strong supporter of our Community Colleges. They help students complete their education, train workers for new jobs, support small business, and turn unemployment into re-employment. I’m determined to reverse the funding cuts our coastal colleges have suffered in recent years. We need to nurture new opportunities on the Coast like the expanding research industry beginning to emerge here. Maintaining the highways that bring us customers or transport products from our fishing and dairy industries are also critical. And I’m sensitive to the balance between protecting our environment and maintaining jobs. Here on the Coast, we face big issues. But we also need to be aware of small
I think Mr. Grant is a decent man. We disagree on issues but not disagreeably. I’m pleased this campaign has not taken the negative turn that we often see in contemporary elections. That said, I belive my lifetime experience has better prepared me for this position. My community involvement will make me a better representative; my work in Salem long ago will make me a better legislator. And most important, I believe my priorities and positions on our issues are a better fit for this important district and the families that live here.

Jerome Grant What is your current job? With my wife, Clary, of 20 years, we are owner operators of Gracie’s Sea Hag Restaurant & Lounge in Depoe Bay.
What in your background do you feel qualifies you for this office?
Besides being a small businessman employing an average of 35 people year-round in the tourist
industry, I have strong ties to the community including a 15-year career as a commercial fisherman and diver. I successfully defended my own fishery against Jerome over burGrant densome regulations and served the State of Oregon on the Developmental Fisheries Board for several years. Throughout these experiences I came to believe that one man or woman with a well prepared, strong and resolute voice could make a difference in the outcome of governmental decisions. I furthered my education later in life by starting at our local Oregon Coast Community College then finished a Bachelor’s of Science in Computer Science with a minor in Economics at Western Oregon University. I won’t be bullied into supporting a bill that is bad for the people of our district or Oregon. I stand up to bullies.
What do you feel are the main challenges ahead for this office?
small businesses. According to a report named “Oregon’s Death Tax” by Eric Fruits PhD and Randal Pozdena PhD dated February 2012 phasing out Oregon’s Estate Tax could create 25,000 jobs over the next 3 years.
What specifically coastal issues would you hope to raise in Salem?
For our district and Oregon we need to finish the Highway 20 project! After several years and spending over a quarter of a billion of taxpayer dollars we still don’t have a completion. Let’s find out why it happened, how to fix it, and then get it done. Completing the Highway 20 project would provide another premium corridor to the Oregon Coast, increase allowable weight limits for trucks and stimulate commerce creating more jobs. Take a new look at the “Territorial Sea Plan” including “Marine Reserves.” Can you imagine my astonishment when I looked at the Economic map and saw that Depoe Bay had no economic significance?

I have 23 years experience dealing with budgets, 18 years of Government as a Lincoln County Road Dept. supervisor and five years as a private business owner

senior service programs are adequately funded and oversight of those local services (to ensure some local county programs, I will donate up to 50 percent of my wages if elected).
Why should voters vote for you rather than your opponent in this race?
Because I will work to reduce the financial mess Bill Hall created when he supported and implemented huge raises for over 300 people. These raises resulted in 85 positions being eliminated. I will reexamine the incompetent wages study and the new pay range schedule and modify them to reflect fair wages for our rural county. I will follow the county’s mission statement and restore essential services.
Examples include the inexpensive Senior Outreach program that made more than 4,000 contacts in the last year it existed before Bill Hall axed it; and Teen Court, another inexpensive, award-winning, effective program. I will eliminate positions like a PR position. Citizens pay for a position to promote the commissioners and their decisions. I will not have citizens arrested when they protest my decisions. I will listen to them and not block their ability to post their issue-related protests, not force them into federal civil rights suits to stop officials from illegal arrests. I will not make back-office, secret decisions in violation of the law. If there is a reason to exclude an employee or elected official
from their office, I will give proper notice, hold a legal executive session and keep the required records. I will be a public servant, not a politician who says one thing and does another.
Following the money Hall has raised $2,046 in cash donations and has also loaned his campaign $1,000. The vast majority of Hall’s contributions have been small donations, with $1,966 received in amounts of $100 or less. Runions’ campaign shows no money received or spent during this election cycle.
What do you feel are the main challenges ahead for this office?
Finding ways to maintain services in an era of diminished resources. Families and private businesses have tightened their belts; the county has done that as well.

State Senate Rep. Arnie Roblan What is your current job?
Public servant: Cospeaker of the Oregon House of Representatives and State Rep. for District 9.
What in your background do you feel qualifies you for this office?
In Oregon, we are a citizen legislature. It’s made up from people with different experiences. I bring 32 years’ experience as a pubic schoolRep. Arnie teacher and Roblan principal. I think I have an understanding of the coastal issues from the farming that we’ve done … to the logging and fishing industries.
What do you feel are the main challenges ahead for this office?
Getting people back to work. We’ve been in a recession on the Coast for a long time — since the fishing and timber industries changed so dramatically in the ‘80s and ‘90s. We need to work on making industries such as fishing and lumber more sustainable on the Coast while bringing more economic prosperity to communities.
What specifically coastal issues would you hope to raise in Salem?
The Oregon Coast has an amazing amount of potential; I and other members of the Coastal Caucus have been working to unlock that potential in an effort to bring more jobs to the area. Places like Newport are setting the standard about how we integrate fishing fleets and the science community. I think we need to expand
on that and keep letting people know that we are a viable economic option on the Coast — show people that we are not only just a place to visit.
Why should voters support you rather than your opponent in this race?
In these tough economic times, we need a strong voice for coastal communities in Salem. I’m running for State Senate to be an independent voice for our coast who isn’t afraid to stand up to Portland politicians and put the needs of the Oregon Coast first. My opponent has next to no experience that makes him qualified to represent the Coast as its Senator and he has made frightening statements such as “we have been over-funding education, I believe, for years.” He has promised to make Oregon a Right to Work state, to bust unions, to get rid of all environmental regulations, in addition to numerous other dangerous and counterproductive campaign promises. As Senator, I will fight to get Salem’s priorities straight so that we can focus our efforts on decreasing class sizes, protecting funding for senior health care, and keeping our communities safe. I will also continue the work I’ve done as state representative to develop natural resource industries to create jobs from Tillamook Bay to Coos Bay, like opening the Coos Bay Rail Line and bringing NOAA to Newport. In May I hosted a Coastal Economic Summit which gathered leaders up and down the coast to come together and find solutions for restoring our traditional economies while developing new industries that will bring more jobs to our region.
Dr. Scott Roberts What is your current job?
I am an oral and maxillofacial surgeon.
What in your background do you feel qualifies you for this office?
My educational and professional background in oral and maxillofaDr. Scott cial surgery Roberts (OMFS) and my knowledge as a small health care businessman provide the expertise needed in the Oregon legislature to tackle the difficult issues in rural coastal Oregon. In addition to my occupation as an OMFS, I have advanced in leadership in our state Oregon Society of Oral and Maxillofacial surgeons and Board. I have also been involved in our state and regionally as an alternate delegate to the House of Delegates of the American Dental Association for two terms, served multiple terms as secretary/ treasurer and president of our regional Southwestern Oregon Dental Association (SWODA), served in the Oregon House of Delegates multiple terms for SWODA, and involved in the task force for the young dentist by the American Dental Association. I have shown a commitment to leadership in my profession and my community and I know that my education, skills, and background will provide the Oregon State Senate a dedicated, intelligent and qualified member to assist in the many important responsibilities involved with the position.
What do you feel are the main challenges ahead for this office?
I believe the main challenge I will have in the of-
fice of Oregon State Senator will be having the patience necessary when dealing with the bureaucracy of government. In talking with members of the Republican Senate and House leadership, I understand that many important and necessary changes in the way the government is run and the bureaucracy that has been established here in Oregon don’t allow these changes to occur in both timely and efficient manners. To quote, “…common sense does not prevail in the Oregon legislature and it takes a dreadfully long time to accomplish anything.”
What specifically coastal issues would you hope to raise in Salem?
With the closing of dozens of lumber mills and the countless regulations aimed at our local fishing industry, we’ve seen our local economies struggle much longer than most Oregonians. Despite the lip-service from politicians; it seems that instead of tackling the problems standing in the way of economic recovery; the exact opposite is happening. In order to sustain their out-of-control spending, our Democratic-controlled legislature continues to increase taxes, pass new laws that restrict job growth, and give huge public giveaways to big corporations, campaign donors, and special interests that live off the public’s money. All the while, hard-working Oregonians and small business owners pay the bill. My goal is to foster job growth by allowing entrepreneurs to invest in their business and be given a stable economic climate where they can feel comfortable buying that new piece of equipment, renting that new office, and hiring new employees. This can all be done without huge government bailouts, public financing, or by govern-
ment picking and choosing winners and losers in the economy. All small businesses need to thrive is fair treatment, fair taxation, and the knowledge that no one is going to radically change the rules on them at a moment’s notice.
Why should voters support you rather than your opponent in this race?
First, my background in the private sector as an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon and small businessman for fourteen years gives me the education, knowledge, and experience drastically needed in the legislature to address our number one priority in the District – getting our friends and neighbors back to work by creating an environment that allows small business to thrive. Second, with the overhaul in health care nationally and within our state – it is clear that my background as a health care provider in the trenches with patients is uniquely qualified to address those issues. Third, as a father of four young children that are in the midst of obtaining their education here in Oregon, I am concerned about K-12 education on the coast. I am not satisfied with the status quo of high dropout rates, poor teacher/ student ratios, increasing number of days out of school, the lack of freedom for students and parents to choose the schooling that is best suited for the individual student, and unstable education funding. I am more apt to “fight for the kids” and their education because mine are right in the beginning of their education and I desire all our kids have the best opportunities to succeed.

The main challenge ahead for this office and our citizens is the ability to continue to provide quality law enforcement services to the citizens and visitors of Lincoln County. Calls for service from our citizens and visitors continue to escalate while funding for deputies dwindles. Under my leadership, innovation is encouraged as we work together with our partners to identify solutions. Another challenge is the growing mentally ill segment of our population being introduced into the criminal justice system. There continues to be an increase in the number of people entering the criminal justice system who are suffering from mental disability issues.
Why should people vote for you rather than your opponent in this race?
People should vote for me because of my proven record as a leader and lawman in this county since 1987. We have assembled a very professional and capable team of deputies and professional support personnel to serve the needs of our citizens and visitors to Lincoln County. Tremendous improvements have occurred in jail operations since 2005 resulting in increased bed capacity from 128 to 161 with a smaller workforce. Technology is synonymous with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office in the jail and on patrol. This Sheriff’s Office is a leader in technology amongst all police agencies in the State of Oregon. Our citizens should not have to settle for mediocrity in their Sheriff’s Office leaders. Leadership is having a vision of the future and the ability to motivate others
to achieve that vision. I am the only candidate for Sheriff who possesses and has demonstrated those abilities.
rank of Chief.
What do you feel are the main challenges ahead for this office?
Deputy Steve Frey What is your current job?
Corrections deputy, Lincoln County Jail
What in your background do you feel qualifies you for this office?
I became a Lincoln County resident in 1989 when I was first stationed here in the U.S. Coast Guard. Although I was deployed elsewhere after that, I have always considered Lincoln County Deputy Steve my home. Frey I was hired as a Lincoln County Corrections Deputy in 2002 after retiring from the Coast Guard with the
The revolving door at the Lincoln County Jail. I will work closely with the District Attorney’s office, other county departments, state agencies and local nonprofit organizations to lower our recidivism rate. A lot of this repeat incarceration in Lincoln County is due to substance abuse problems. I believe the Sheriff’s Office can assist other agencies in tackling drug and alcohol abuse to reduce crime.
Why should people vote for you rather than your opponent in this race?
I believe the county will benefit from a more community-based approach to law enforcement. The Sheriff’s Office can do much more to work with communities in crime prevention. More frequent public contact by patrols builds a positive relationship with law enforcement, and reinforces the idea that the community
and the Office are essential partners in crime prevention. If I had been Sheriff this year, I would have vigorously opposed outsourcing dispatch services to Willamette Valley Communication, and worked to keep our dispatchers locallybased. While I support fiscal discipline and know how to practice it from my years in management in the U.S. Coast Guard, outsourcing good jobs and the salaries they provide doesn’t make sense for Lincoln County. We need good family-wage jobs here, and simply giving this service away to the City of Salem was a bad move. Better long-term budget planning would have helped us avoid this loss.
Following the money
Although both candidates have political action committees, neither has raised nor spent any money so far during this election cycle.
Another community center rate hike ahead PATRICK ALEXANDER The News Guard
Prices at Lincoln City Community Center look set to rise again early next year, with City leaders indicating they will continue with efforts to reduce the facility’s reliance on a general fund subsidy. Lincoln City Council, which raised the rates by between 10 and 21 percent in March, revisited the issue at its Oct. 8 meeting to determine whether it should impose a second increase. Community Center Director Gail Kimberling advised against another increase this year, saying that while no one spoke out against the first price hike before the fact, staff at the community center have been dealing with unhappy
customers ever since. “In the month following the rate increase we have had a huge backlash from our customers,” she said, adding: “In every month since then, our sales of new memberships have increased while our renewals have decreased.” From March to September this year, just 396 customers renewed their community center passes compared to 735 in the same period last year. Meanwhile, the number of new passes sold during the same months continued to rise, going from 893 to 1,067. Kimberling said the growth in new members has more than offset the loss in revenue from those who have chosen not to renew, with the center bringing in $168,000 from March
to September compared to $162,000 for the same period last year. Given the boost to the bottom line and the lingering resentment caused by the first rate increase, she urged councilors to hold off on another price hike until early 2013. Mayor Dick Anderson said he would favor another increase sooner, noting that new members still regard the center as “a heck of a deal.” He said taxpayers are currently shouldering roughly half the cost of operating the center and will also soon be on the hook for the estimated $120,000 cost of replacing the center’s aging boiler. “It will get done,” he said, “because it’s on the taxpayers’ back versus on the users’ back. That’s all
we are trying to balance here.” “It’s never easy to raise rates,” he added. “It’s not going to be any easier in March than it is now.” Councilor Alex Ward agreed that waiting until 2013 would not make raising rates any easier, adding that the center remains cheap by comparison to other workout facilities. “There’s not a facility like it in town,” he said. “Facilities that are similar are twice as much, at least.” City Manager David Hawker said the center has been cheaper than comparable facilities for many years, adding that the area’s low median income makes for a customer base that is “price sensitive.” Councilor Henry Quandt said he would like to hear public comment
before deciding whether to impose another increase. Hawker said Council’s reduced meeting schedule for the remainder of the year means it would likely be Nov. 26 before councilors could examine a rate schedule setting out the proposed increases. That delay, combined with the time needed to provide public notice and
receive comment, prompted Council to aim for a March 2013 implementation date for the new rates. Councilor Chester Noreikis said he would favor an increase half the size of the one earlier imposed this year, which took a basic adult annual pass from $145 to $180 and a senior pass from $116 to $144.

PLEASE JOIN US!! I became a believer in Jesus Christ when I was just 17 years old during the Jesus movement of the 70’s. The moment I surrendered my life to Christ my adventure with God began! For years I had struggled to believe that God actually loved me; but then I began to realize how much God really loves all of us when I look at the loving sacrifice of Christ. I began to realize that God not only wants to forgive us our all of our sins; He wants to give us the power to express His godly and loving nature by living an authentic Christian life in Him.

Some might ask, what is authentic Christianity? To which I would reply; are you willing to find out? We recently started a new church less than half a mile south of the Tanger Mall on Highway 101. We are beginning to grow into a family of believers who want to allow God’s Word to permeate every area of our lives. My wife and I count it a privilege to serve in this community. We were sent here by Lebanon Calvary Chapel to start a new work here in Lincoln City with the goal of reaching others with authenticity and the love of God. I hope you will join us at 1800 SE Hwy 101 on Sundays at 10:30 am and Thursdays at 7:00 pm in which we will study the Bible verse by verse, worship God and discover His awesome heart towards us.

Taft Sports Roundup
Porous defense hampers Tigers efforts JIM FOSSUM The News Guard
Struggles maintaining possession on the opponent’s side of the field continued to hamper Taft High’s boys soccer team last week in a 6-0 home defeat to Cascade that left it winless in Oregon West Conference play. While no league opponent has allowed more than seven goals all season and four of the six teams five or less, the Tigers weathered a 4-0 barrage in the second half to run their total to 38 in falling to 1-6-1 overall and 0-5 in conference. “[We] played a really aggressive first half,” assistant coach Tim Dressler said. “We were only down 2-0 at halftime and we had multiple opportunities to score. But Cascade is a really talented team, and, as they increased their intensity in the second half, it became challenging to match.” The Tigers, also the league’s least productive team with 18 goals in eight matches, used sophomore striker Mason Aguirre’s footwork to create several opportunities on goal, but the Tigers came up empty against the Cougars (7-2 overall, 3-2 Oregon West Conference) in suffering their second league shutout. Dressler said junior defenseman Kody VanDamme kept Cascade from raining
more shots on freshman goalie Jose Jimenez, whom he also cited for his solid play. “He stopped multiple one-on-one shots and was very vocal,” he said. “We are already seeing attributes of a great goalkeeper.” Taft was scheduled to meet first-place Stayton (70-2, 5-0) at home, on Tuesday, Oct. 16 (past The News Guard’s print deadline), is at Philomath (6-1-2, 2-1-2) on Thursday, Oct. 18, and will host Central (5-3-1, 1-3-1) at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 23. Volleyball– The Tigers (0-14 overall, 0-7 Oregon West Conference) lost at first-place Philomath, 25-8, 25-16, 25-11 on Tuesday, Oct. 9. Freshman Kelsey Wilkinson led Taft with five assists, Katie McCardell with five kills and McCardell and fellow sophomore BillyAnn Stempel with five blocks. Senior McKenna Sarvis and junior Taylor Adams had seven and six digs, respectively. Sarvis, as she has in virtually every match this season, led Taft in serving, going 14 of 15 from the stripe, while McCardell was 4-for-4 against the Warriors (9-4. 6-1). “The score did not indicate how well the girls played,” Napoleon said. “There were lots of long rallies and some good play from both teams.”

Second-half surge sinks Taft Powerhouse Central High School defeats Tigers 42-16 JIM FOSSUM The News Guard
Down 15-8 and finetuning its game plan for the second half at perennial Oregon West Conference contender Central, Taft coach Perry Herbst ran into more issues with team depth in falling 42-16 on Thursday, Oct. 11. “It was a closer game than what the score ended up being,” Herbst said after the Panthers outscored the Tigers 27-8 in the final 24 minutes after the Tigers kept thing close through intermission. “The first half we kept pinning them down, marched down and scored, and then wound up not tackling the kid with the ball on the kickoff,” the first-year Taft coach said after junior running back Tyler Henson scored for the Tigers on a touchdown and two-point conversion run. David Powell’s 51-yard scoring return helped give the Panthers their sevenpoint halftime cushion as Kelton Chapman also scored on a 19-yard reception and sophomore Wesley Riddell on a two-point conversion run. “We played OK, but our [lack of ] depth showed up,” Herbst said. “No excuse and all that, but we couldn’t get kids breathers and had a hard time stopping the run.” The Panthers extended the lead to 21-8 in the third quarter when junior Tell
Cruickshank scored on a 39-yard run. Cruickshank scored from 10 yards out in the fourth quarter for a 28-8 lead, then made it 35-8 when he burst over from the 3. Riddell helped finish the scoring for the Panthers when he ran 36 yards and Roger Torres added his fourth extra point. Henson scored his second touchdown and caught a conversion pass for the Tigers’ final score late in the game. The Panthers (2-4 overall, 1-2 Oregon West) ran 35 times for 329 yards and threw for another 87 on 8-of-16 passing by junior quarterback Ben Finnegan. Cruickshank ran for 189 yards on 20 carries with a long of 48 and Riddell 115 on 12 with a long of 37. Herbst cited junior quarterback Seth Steere on his game management and senior Seth Siedling for his play at defensive end. He said he was also pleased with seniors Brent Martin and Keanu Eastman and sophomores Pete Lahti and Randy Herndon for shutting down the Panthers’ passing game. “We gave up a couple of long passes that they’ve been relying on but we kind of took that away from them,” he said. “We were starting to get tired, and when that happens, your run defense is going to have issues. A lot of kids couldn’t get breathers, but

Help in a tough time “Creatures” to Creep Back to the Aquarium October 27
Unsung Heroes
T
he Oregon Coast Aquarium’s annual Halloween event, “Creatures of the Night” will creep back to the Oregon Coast Aquarium Saturday, October 27 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The Aquarium will close its doors from 4-6:30 p.m. and quietly mutate into an ominous landscape for the annual soiree, including a haunted maze and an evil enchanted forest. The event, which will collect food and money for Newport Food Pantry and the Central Coast Humane Society, offers reduced admission with a donation of two items of non-perishable food. “We invite families to enjoy our annual Creatures of the Night. While the event is fun for the whole family, our main focus is to help replenish the shelves at our local Food Pantry,” said Carrie Lewis, Aquarium President and CEO. “Times are difficult for many families and we’d like to ask everyone to be extra generous in their food donations this year,” said Lewis. This event is suggested for ages 10 and older; for safety reasons, strollers and photography will not be allowed in the Aquarium for the evening event. For more information, visit aquarium.org.

his topic is personal. When my cousin Gerri Lou died eight years ago, I was invited to share in her large family’s experience. She and Don, her husband, have four children and they were all there. Hospice allowed this family to let Gerri Lou go in peace in her own home, surrounded by her family. From quiet conversations with Gerri to food to laughter and stories about the good times, we celebrated her life. Tears fell as we sang “You Are My Sunshine” after she died. It was indeed an honor to be present in this important moment. One volunteer in the Hospice program requested that his name not be used. “It is about the program, not about me.” This is a fairly common statement from many of the volunteers that I write about. He began to volunteer for Hospice because a neighbor and good friend passed away. Hospice was there for her and for her family and he was impressed. Then his father was quite ill and in the hospital. He decided that he did not want to die in the hospital and went home. Hospice again assisted his family. The volunteer decided that his own life is so blessed that he wanted to do something to give back. Enter the Hospice Program in his life formally. He has volunteered in the program for eight years. One client he remembers was a bright, feisty lady. The volunteer was able to give her caregiver some respite by going into the home, singing while she played the piano. Her memory was fading but the love and ability to sing and play a little piano remained. Hospice is as much about giving caregivers a break as it is helping the client. Any of you who have ever been in this position can relate to and appreciate this help. I know I went through it with my own Mother. Another client of Volunteer Man was a lethargic non-responsive patient who improved dramatically once the Hospice program came to help. He improved enough to ‘graduate’ out of the program. How can someone ‘leave’ the program? In order to be admitted the patient must be diagnosed as terminal and having six months to live. At the end of six months the physician and the team review the case. It is happily possible to leave the program. That is one of the most joyous times for Volunteer Man. When asked how he copes with the death of a client he was stopped for a moment. It is an inevitable part of this system but it is life and a reality. Volunteer Man will call the office and say, “I need a break.” He also reads voraciously, meditates regularly, watches sunsets from his deck, tells stories, and laughs. He laughs a lot. What does he get out of it? He feels good about giving back. He meets wonderful people. He has real conversations, intimate conversations, talks directly to clients. He learns to be more honest, up front, open, unveiled, unmasked. We have an active, vital Hospice program here in Lincoln City that is administered by the Samaritan Hospital System. The manager, Becky Hall, and the volunteer coordinator, Laura Rardin, shared their thoughts and gratitude for the volunteers who are a part of the Hospice Team. That team includes administrators, medical doctors, nurses, massage therapists, pet therapists, musicians, volunteers, and others. This is an extensive network of skilled, trained people who assist families and individuals in the most difficult of times. If you are interested in inquiring about the Hospice program, please contact Becky Hall, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospice, 541996-7328, or email her at hallbe@ samhealth.org. If you know a volunteer who deserves acknowledgement or want a particular program explored, please contact: Janet Anderson Beachlady868@embarqmail.com

Actors needed for ‘Nana’s Naughty Knickers’ Theatre West is issuing an audition call for its winter production of Nana’s Naughty Knickers, a comedy by Katherine DiSalvo. Director is Stina SeegerGibson, the artistic director at Theater West. She has directed and appeared in many productions over the years. Most recently she appeared in Opal’s Million Dollar Duck by John Patrick and directed The Pearl by Barbara Pease Weber. Auditions will be held at the theatre, 3536 Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City, at 7 p.m. Sunday Oct. 21 and Monday Oct. 22. The play is set to run Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings from Dec. 27 through Jan. 19, 2013. Additionally there will be performances Dec. 30 and Dec. 31. In the story, Bridget and her grandmother are about to become roommates. However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from
her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five borough area. And the spinster is stirred to make an issue out of the dangling courtship that has brightened her life in a dreary, minor way. The cast consists of three men and five women. No previous acting experience is necessary. Rehearsals will begin shortly after auditions and will require a minimum of four nights a week. In addition to actors, the director is recruiting several behind-the-scenes volunteers. If you are interested in getting involved, stop by auditions and introduce yourself or leave a message on the office phone at 541 994-5663. Theatre West is a non-profit, all volunteer community theatre whose roots in the community go back to 1975. Membership dues are $10 per year for an individual, $12 for a couple, $15 for a family and $5 for a student. More information about the theatre may be found at www.theatrewest.com or call (541) 994-5663.

For more than four years, local humorist Barton Grover Howe has kept local readers “Beach Slapped” in his weekly humor column in area newspapers. Now, for the first time, readers can get “Slapped” all over again, as Howe has put his columns in book form, one for each year he’s been writing. Howe said getting the compilations into bookstores fulfills a long held goal. “For years, people have asked me if I’d ever put my old columns into print. I figured now, with a two-year-old daughter giving me tons of free time, this would be my chance.” Featuring every one of his columns from 2008 - 2011, each is available in a 120 to 150-page book for $9.99 at area bookstores, as well as retailers like the Nelscott Wine Shop and Captain Dan’s Pirate Pastry Shop. The books also include an all-new introduction, afterword, and a few columns that never quite made it into print.

include their respective successors in interest, if any. Anyone having any objection to the sale on any grounds whatsoever will be afforded an opportunity to be heard as to those objections if they bring a lawsuit to restrain the same. NOTICE TO RESIDENTIAL TENANTS: The property in which you are living is in foreclosure. A foreclosure sale is scheduled for February 4, 2013. Unless the lender who is foreclosing on this property is paid, the foreclosure will go through and someone new will own this property. The following information applies to you only if you occupy and rent this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The information does not apply to you if you own this property or if you are not a residential tenant. If the foreclosure goes through, the business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale has the right to require you to move out. The buyer must first give you an eviction notice in writing that specifies the date by which you must move out. The buyer may not give you this notice until after the foreclosure sale happens. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the buyer can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES YOU TO BE NOTIFIED IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNDER A LEGITIMATE RENTAL AGREEMENT, FEDERAL LAW REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING A CERTAIN NUMBER OF DAYS BEFORE THE BUYER CAN REQUIRE YOU TO MOVE OUT. THE FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU THIS NOTICE IS EFFECTIVE UNTIL DECEMBER 31, 2012. Under federal law, the buyer must give you at least 90 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If you are renting this property under a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), you may stay until the end of your lease term. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer’s primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 90 days left. STATE LAW NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS: IF THE FEDERAL LAW DOES NOT APPLY, STATE LAW STILL REQUIRES THE BUYER TO GIVE YOU NOTICE IN WRITING BEFORE REQUIRING YOU TO MOVE OUT IF YOU ARE OCCUPYING AND RENTING THE PROPERTY AS A TENANT IN GOOD FAITH. EVEN IF THE FEDERAL LAW REQUIREMENT IS NO LONGER EFFECTIVE AFTER DECEMBER 31, 2012, THE REQUIREMENT UNDER STATE LAW STILL APPLIES TO YOUR SITUATION. Under state law, if you have a fixed-term lease (for example, a six-month or one-year lease), the buyer must give you at least 60

days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. If the buyer wants to move in and use this property as the buyer’s primary residence, the buyer can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even if you have a fixed-term lease with more than 30 days left. If you are renting under a month-tomonth or week-toweek rental agreement, the buyer must give you at least 30 days notice in writing before requiring you to move out. IMPORTANT: For the buyer to be required to give you notice under state law, you must prove to the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale that you are occupying and renting this property as a residential dwelling under a legitimate rental agreement. The name and address of the business or individual who is handling the foreclosure sale is shown on this notice under the heading “TRUSTEE”. You must mail or deliver your proof not later than 1/4/2013 (30 days before the date first set for the foreclosure sale). Your proof must be in writing and should be a copy of your rental agreement or lease. If you do not have a written rental agreement or lease, you can provide other proof, such as receipts for rent you paid. ABOUT YOUR SECURITY DEPOSIT Under state law, you may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from you rent payment. You may do this only for

the rent you owe you current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out.
