LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

East Devils Lake flooding fixes

Knowing the signs Lincoln City was the first location in Lincoln County to start preparing and fulfilling the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s checklist for being storm and tsunami ready.

“Awareness of tsunami warning signs is vital when traveling through or living in tsunami-prone areas,” said Lila Bradley, Public Works director for the City. “Part of being a ‘Storm Ready Community’ is having the proper signage in inundation zones and at beach accesses to help visitors and residents stay safe and know that they need to go to high ground.”

For residents living along East Devils Lake Road the rainy season can either mean a longer commute to reach Highway 101 or a risky drive through high-water that has flooded about 900 feet of East Devils Lake Road near Hill Road.

“It is definitely a safety concern,” said Steve Hoge, Lincoln County Public Works assistant director. “If you are driving too fast you

can hydroplane.”

Hoge said the roadway traverses a wetland and is actually sinking.

“We are losing our hydrological capacity to get water from the south to the north,” said Hoge. “We can’t get water to flow beneath the bridges because of all the silting with deposits of sand and dirt which reduces the area where water can flow. So now the road acts as sort of a dam and the water rises and spills over the top of the road surface.”

The Lincoln City Walking and Bike Draft Plan is expected to be before the Lincoln City Council for adoption Nov. 26 following final review during a public hearing Oct. 22.

The plan was created during a series of meetings that began in August 2011 by Lincoln City staff, consultants and a public advisory committee (PAC).

It catalogues the problems that city streets and Highway 101 create for cyclists and pedestrians and recommends solutions including sidewalks, bike lanes, shared paths and speed bumps.

During the Oct. 22 council meeting, the Oregon Department of Transportation’s David Helton, said the plan was necessary to help Lincoln City qualify for state funding for such projects.

Mike Meyer, a Northeast 14th Street resident, voiced opposition to the draft plan.

G

enerations of people have listened to his voice as they carried on their normal lives each day.

He has been a fixture in Lincoln City for more than 30 years, but come Nov. 30 Roger Robertson will no longer be part of the radio airwaves in Lincoln County. Robertson will retire from the job he has loved for three decades.

“This is always what I wanted to do, even as a little kid growing up on a farm in North Dakota,” said Robertson. “I would go out in the barn and imitate the disc jockeys that were on the air. It’s been in my blood for 45 years. It goes pretty deep.”

Robertson began his career behind the microphone in Germany with Armed Forces Radio. From there he went to work in radio in Montana and when the owner of that radio station purchased KBCH, Robertson moved to Lincoln City and began a 38 year career with the station.

“I joined KBCH and never looked back,” said Robertson.

The key to his success and that of the radio station, according to Robertson, is keeping it local.

“It’s gotta be Lincoln City,” he said. “It’s not going to be Portland or Washington, D.C. I want to talk with the local mayor, the city councilors, the chamber of commerce, the water district, the local high school and grade school. It is exclusively Lincoln City. Locals can’t get that from Portland radio or television.”

Robertson arrives at KBCH shortly before his 6 a.m. to 8 a.m. show Tuesday through Friday. He mixes the news talk with music to attract a wide audience.

He selects the music depending on his mood of the day.

“One day it may center on country,” he said. “Another day it may be 1960’s rock “n” roll. It’s never real soft mellow music because it’s the morning and we need to wake up. So the music has got to kick.”

Robertson agrees that there has been a dramatic change in the radio business over the past several years triggered mostly by the economy and the onset of the Internet. More radio groups have formed using satellite and computer networking and there are fewer small town radio stations to offer personalized formats and service to listeners.

“It’s terrible,” Robertson said. “The computer and social networking is forcing the human element out of it. I don’t like computer television, computer radio or computer newspapers. I like it real. I like it live.”

An old idea gets a new, fresh look Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

A local business owner hopes a new look at developing a boardwalk off of 51st Street in Taft will spark new economic activity for Lincoln City.

Debbie Williams, coowner of Nelscott Café, hopes Lincoln City officials embrace the idea of a boardwalk along Siletz Bay in Taft.

“This idea has been discussed before,” said Williams. “But that discussion did not include setting up

Open 8a-7p Mon-Fri, 8a-6p Sat

space for vendors along portions of the boardwalk. We could offer the space to local merchants first.”

Williams believes the boardwalk would be an attraction that could draw visitors to Lincoln City offering retail and food at the city-owned parking lot area without blocking ocean and bay views.

“This project could also be an anchor to develop GRAPHIC COURTESY CITY OF LINCOLN CITY more critical mass on 51st This artists rendering from a 1999 vision study shows a bird’s Street,” she said.

- Roger Robertson

“

Robertson said the industry is now faster and less personal.

“It has reached a speed I don’t think any of us really want,” he said. “It puts us on a treadmill that people want to get off of. It’s a pace that quickens the heart, but not the mind.”

But Robertson is quick to add that the mix of local talk radio and music is successful in Lincoln City.

“It is a connection that people do care about,” Robertson said. “We make that connection. Someone told me I am the oldest, continuous broadcaster in Oregon.

I am an oldie but a goodie following the demand to keep it local. If you are not your community, there is no reason for you to exist.”

Those that are entering the radio industry aren’t likely going to get rich, but they can make a significant difference in their community said Robertson.

“You are going to make a difference to that local school, in telling about what local residents are doing and you are going to make

a huge difference when the lights go out and everyone is wondering when the power will come back on,” he said.

“That difference may not show up in your paycheck, but it is a huge difference for the community.”

He said the days of a radio station attempting to reach wide audiences with a

doing some sales for the radio station and he will continue to operate his All Ways Traveling and Promotions agency.

“My work with the Kiwanis, the chamber and our church is important so I will still be here in Lincoln City.

This is my home.”

Robertson is married to wife Pat. The couple will celebrate their 46th wedding anniversary in December.

“You have never seen a community all of a sudden come together to help,” said Robertson. “At the end we had hundreds of people lining the streets with American flags to welcome the solider home. The whole community came to life like I had never seen. It was magical.”

After Robertson retires Nov. 30 he will continue to be active. He may continue

variety of formats and music are passing and in their place are radio stations with specific one-way formats.

“Each station is going to be so segmented that there will be no cross formats,” he said.

One of Robertson’s fondest memories as radio host on KBCH is what happened during the Storm of 2007.

The radio station used generator power to provide important public information and to tell what was open and what was closed. People tuned in with battery and wind-up radios to listen.

During the broadcast a listener called in to start a drive to fill a welcome home basket for a young soldier who was coming home after being injured in the war in Iraq.

Plan

From page A1

“This town is suffering from almost infrastructure failure,” Meyer said. “The streets are crumbling, the water system leaks, now they have come up with this bike lane proposal. If it were a modest plan like striping or some bike signs it would be fine, but they have this grandiose plan costing $2,178,500.

The city doesn’t have the money to pay for this and if they did, what about the streets and water leaks?”

Meyer is urging the council to spend whatever money is approved for the plan wisely.

The draft plan identifies three potential sources of additional local revenue: a property tax, a fuel tax and a road user maintenance fee.

The PAC supported the idea of a local option tax up to 10 cents per thousand dollars of assessed valuation, according to Kate Lymna of consulting firm CH2M Hill, because she said the tax would distribute the costs equally between residents and absentee owners.

Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson said no specific projects or specific funding options have been approved for the plan yet.

“This plan creates the opportunity for development,” he said. “No funding has been approved for the plan. What is in the plan are funding options and those would take a special process to approve.”

Anderson said city officials believe improvements like striping, painting and signing could be done and funded through the city’s normal street fund.

“But any big projects would need special funding,” said Anderson.

The plan divides streets in Lincoln City into four types, making recommendations about the ideal improvements for each – favoring bike lanes and sidewalks for Highway 101 and high-use local streets, while opting for shared roadways on medium – and low-use streets.

The plan also suggests improvements for each street, because, according to consultant Mike Tresidder of Alta Planning + Design, the ideal improvements might not always be possible due to topography or objections from adjacent property owners.

Tsunami debris impact to play out on Japanese television Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

A film crew from the Japanese television outlet MHK Broadcasting is preparing a documentary with visual images of the Japanese tsunami debris that has washed up along shore in Lincoln County and other parts of the Oregon coast. The team also conducted interviews with city and state officials as part of the documentary that will air on Japanese television in November.

The documentary looks at the impact of the tsunami in North America, according to Noboru Nakasahima with MHK Broadcasting.

“We Japanese feel somehow responsible for the debris,” said Nakasahima.

“MHK believes it is important for our viewers to know what about how the tsunami debris has impacted the United States and how the debris may threaten the beaches and ocean.”

The television documentary is expected to include how the debris is being collected, who is collecting the debris, and who will pay the cost of the tsunami debris cleanup. It will also show the

invasive species threat and how Oregon is coping with that threat. Producers also want to outline the impact of the debris on marine safety, especially ship safety.

“Invasive species are new to them and they felt it was important to inform Japanese people about that,” said Sam Chan, an assistant professor with the Oregon State University’s Sea Grant program. “It is very critical that we understand that they feel really bad that their problem ended up on somebody else’s shore. But they don’t know how to help because international laws don’t have any mechanisms as to who should pay in the event of a natural disaster.

So they are providing money as a source of care and goodwill.

According to Chan, the Japanese government could make available $6 million for the tsunami debris cleanup in North America and more money could come from foundations in Japan.

Tillamook County Commissioner Mark Labhart attended a presentation in Seaside Oct. 11 about the Oregon coast tsunami

debris made by Chan before a gathering of the Oregon Vegetation Management Association. The Japanese film crew videotaped Chan’s presentation.

“We in Oregon are very sympathetic to the tragedy of the Japanese people,” said Labhart. “We understand that places still don’t have power restored and the re-building effort will take years to complete and many billions of dollars. We can’t image how horrific it must have been to the (Japanese) population.”

Labhart said Oregon has much to learn from the Japanese disaster. He told the film crew Oregon officials need to keep talking with the Japanese in order to share the lessons learned.

“When we have our event, which we will have someday the scientists tell us, we need to be better prepared than we are now,” Labhart said.

He said the Japanese offer of money to help clean up the tsunami debris along the West Coast is a gesture of friendship.

“That is pretty impressive,” Labhart said. “I want to thank them for that most

generous gift.”

General Mike Caldwell, the chair of the Governor’s Task Force on Tsunami Debris, said $350,000 has been spent in Oregon on Japanese tsunami debris cleanup so far. Much of that cost was needed to remove a large Japanese dock that had washed ashore at Agate Beach in June.

Caldwell said more of the tsunami debris is expected to wash ashore this fall and winter brought in by annual storms.

Caldwell warned that coastal communities should be prepared for debris from small Styrofoam to large docks like the one that washed ashore in Lincoln County.

“I believe this can be a dangerous environmental situation especially with the large pieces of debris like the dock,” said Caldwell.

“There are tremendous amounts of invasive species on there that could be extremely damaging to the economies of the coast and to the people that make a living here.”

Sheriff’s Tips Sheriff’s Tips

By Sheriff Dennis Dotson

Most people think of Halloween as a time for fun and treats. However, roughly four times as many children aged 5-14 are killed while walking on Halloween evening compared with other evenings of the year, and falls are a leading cause of injuries among children on Halloween.

Parents can help prevent children from becoming injured on Halloween by following these safety tips from the American Academy

of Pediatrics, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the National Safety Council.

Children should:

• Go only to well-lit houses and remain on porches rather than entering houses.

• Travel in small groups and be accompanied by an adult.

• Know their phone numbers and carry a cell phone for an emergency phone call.

• Carry a note in their pocket with their name and address.

• Bring treats home before eating them so parents can inspect them.

• When using costume knives and swords, ensure they are flexible, not rigid or sharp.

• When walking in neighborhoods, they should: • Use flashlights, stay on sidewalks if available, and avoid crossing yards.

• Cross streets at the corner, use crosswalks if available, and don’t cross between parked cars.

• Stop at all corners and stay together in a group before crossing.

• Wear clothing that is bright, reflective, and flame retardant.

• Consider using face paint instead of masks.

• Avoid wearing hats that

could slide over their eyes.

• Avoid wearing long, baggy, or loose costumes or oversized shoes to prevent tripping.

• Always look left, right, and left again before crossing the street.

Parents and adults should:

• Supervise the outing for children under age 12.

• Establish a curfew for older children.

• Prepare homes for trick-or-treaters by clearing porches, lawns, and sidewalks and by placing decorations away from doorways and landings.

• Avoid giving choking hazards such as gum, peanuts, hard candies, or

small toys as treats to young children.

• Inspect all candy before children eat it.

• To ensure the safety of pedestrian trick-or-treaters, parents and adults should: • Make sure children under age 10 are supervised as they cross the street.

• Drive slowly.

• Watch for children in the street and on medians.

• Exit driveways and alleyways carefully.

• Have children get out of cars on the curbside, not the traffic side.

Following these tips should help ensure this Halloween is a safe and fun holiday for everyone.

Guest Commentary

The future of Medicare and Social Security Medicare is a government insurance program that has worked exceedingly well for almost 50 years; Social Security is as well, serving citizens excellently for over 75 years. And for most of this time, detractors have been wrong in predicting its demise, as both are solvent into the foreseeable future.

They are a sacred trust between We the People and our government. Younger workers pay into it, while seniors, the disabled, widows and orphans get the

benefits. So yes, we are entitled to its benefits.

Eliminating those under 55 who pay the premiums would kill the programs, and is totally unacceptable. It’s only an excuse to privatize (steal) our wealth for Wall Street and the rich.

Any politician, media, or think tank that would try to reduce or eliminate it, best think again. It is still the third rail. Getting between beneficiaries and their doctors or providers would be very foolish for anyone or

any politician to attempt, regardless of party.

Neither Medicare nor Social Security causes the Paco debt; the Maribona unpaid Bush tax cuts and wars are mostly to blame for the national debt. Uncapping the income limit so all will pay into these social

programs fairly will make them even stronger far into the future, past 2075.

Health care is a human right for all, and extending Medicare to all will create many jobs, and lower the debt at the same time. It will preserve the dignity of seniors and beneficiaries, and protect our future.

Austerity measures didn’t work for Hoover, Reagan, or Bush, and it won’t work for us now. Stopping the wars and unnec-

essary tax cuts for all now (during this recession) will provide the jobs and funding needed to stabilize our communities and economy.

Its time has come.

Lyme Disease and advice about shopping bags The Doctor Is In

By Dr. Phyllis Ritchie

Editors Note: With this edition of The News Guard we are adding this new interactive column written

by Gearhart and Portland resident and infectious disease specialist Doctor Phyllis Ritchie. Feel free to send Dr. Ritchie your medical questions.

Q: Our family spends the summer hiking all over the northwest. Our neighbor’s daughter got

Lyme Disease. How can we prevent that illness?

Joy-Salem A: Lyme disease is caused by a bacterium, Borrelia burgdorferi, which is spread through the bite of infected black legged ticks (or deer tick, Ixodes scapularis). The ticks can attach to any part of the human body, including the groin, armpits, and scalp.

The tick must be attached for 36-48 hours or more before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted.

The deer tick is found in grassy areas, open fields, and especially the margin where fields meet wooded areas.

The risk of being bitten by a

deer tick infected with Lyme disease is greatest in the summer months of June and July.

To avoid ticks avoid walking through tall grass and shrubby areas. Wear slacks tucked into socks and wear light colored clothing to make it easier to detect ticks. Stay close to the center of hiking trails to avoid brushing against foliage.

Frequently check for ticks all over your body including in the groin, scalp and armpits.

Apply repellant such as DEET to shoes and all clothing.

Following these steps should help prevent Lyme Disease.

Q: My sister came to visit me, and she was horrified I was using reusable bags to do my grocery shopping. She says they are dirty. Is she right?

Thelma-Portland A: Reusable bags are widely used all over Oregon.

They are very handy to do your grocery shopping, and take to the farmers markets. However they must be washed regularly in the washing machine or by hand.

Researchers at the University of Arizona, and Loma Linda University found huge amounts of bacteria (including E. coli) in about 12% of

the reusable bags tested.

Recently there was an outbreak of norovirus (which causes a stomach flu) among 17 members of a girls’ soccer team and their four adult chaperones while attending a tournament in Washington state. The common link was a reusable grocery bag of snacks that had been stored in the bathroom.

In summary you must wash your reusable bags on a regular basis.

into its child care situations and the resulting climate thereof. Lastly, I believe that if we are going to try to improve Lincoln County Schools, we need to put our hard earned tax dollars in our local schools. You want to raise the standards of our schools and the learning of our children, invest your tax dollars in schools.

Before I vote for a measure like this, I need to be assured of county wide equity, committee accountability and less tax payer money.

$25 per year per property.

This year Measure 21-147 is asking for approval to move the tax levy to a tax district -Animal Welfare and Shelter Services. Central Coast Humane Society fully supports this measure.

The cost to property owners remains the same so it is NOT a new tax.

What this measure does is create a tax district so that a renewal request does not need to be made every five years. The money still stays with the animal shelter for the expense of running our incredible shelter plus having three animal services deputies to cover the entire county. The shelter remains with the Sheriff’s Office, with a volunteer advisory committee to provide some advice assistance as needed (Animal Welfare and Shelter Services Advisory Committee).

The purpose is to ensure a continuing revenue stream far into the future for our animal shelter. Please join CCHS in supporting this very important measure in order to continue the care and housing of all animals within our shelter system -a system with which we can be very proud. Please say “yes” one more time to the animals.

Voices of Lincoln County Vote for Romney

More about Barack Obama. As I mentioned in a previous letter, his being black has nothing to do with my opinion.

For one thing, according to the news on TV, he endorses same sex marriage.

You got to be kidding!! Same sex marriage is wrong. Marriage is meant to be between one man and one woman period.

Just one reason to get rid of Obama. Also we need to repeal Obamacare.

According to the National Rifle Association (NRA), Barack Obama wants to “change the second amendment.” He has a ten-point plan to do this.

Just to list a couple.

To ban use of firearms for home defense, pass federal laws eliminating your right to carry, ban rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting and sport shooting, increase federal taxes on guns and ammunition by 500%.

There are more listed

by NRA, but listing them all would make my letter too long.

Also he wants to grant amnesty to the aliens who are in the United States illegally. I wonder how many illegals he is trying to get to vote for him.

My opinion is that he wants to make the United States a socialistic coun-

try. Let’s get rid of Barack Obama and get a president who can repair the damage Obama has done. I think Mitt Romney can do this.

Questions about Measure 21-144

As noble as Ballot Measure 21-144 may sound, I have some reservations. I’m not content with the phrase “knowledgeable volunteer allocation committee.” The term is a bit vague in its nature. For instance, what is meant by “knowledgeable”? Is it someone who simply likes children or people connected to the industry or is it made up of workers of the now existing child care programs?? I’m a bit skeptical about having a tax payer money “allocating” committee that has no government appointments or any elected members.

Does this committee’s “volunteers” consist of all parts of Lincoln County? Another aspect that needs clarification is redundancy, because if a primary goal for this money is to help low income families, there are already state programs that will pay for child care. All one has to do is apply for them. One other reservation that I have is ... We are not Portland!

Portland has many other factors and issues that go

As a result of the “Biz Buzz” column of the October 10, 2012, edition on page A5, we contacted the described business “Window Magic Inc.” Their washing and rinsing system plus the detailing of cleaning window tracks was outstanding. The article stated that the company is licensed, bonded and insured; the employees were sensitive to our having indoor cats (no doors left open!), were polite and worked steadily with good humor. They had finished the entire job within three hours, both the inside and outside of more than eighteen windows plus cleaning the screens.

business-related organization. That is our focus.”

Augustine wants to continue the Chamber’s strong business presence in the community positively promoting and representing all member businesses through participation in business and community activities.

She also believes the Chamber needs to help businesses connect with available resources to help enhance economic viability and growth.

“While we are not a visitors center, people do come right off Highway 101 and stop in at the Chamber office to ask what’s going on in the community,” said Augustine. “Because we are a tourist town the Chamber can help promote our businesses. We need to collaborate with development projects, events and calendars. I think a lot of people are ready, but they are just not quite sure what to do yet.”

While local businesses and the City of Lincoln City face economic challenges, Augustine doesn’t believe

Nonni Augustine has been selected as the new Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director by the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors following a two-month search. She replaces Linda Roy. Augustine has been the Chamber’s office manager since August 2011.

“Nonni has a solid grounding in our culture and procedures,” said Chamber Board President Lori Arce-Torres. “Her past business experience as owner, operator/manager and corporate executive make her a great fit for the Chamber lead. We are excited to have her on board.”

Augustine said her number one goal is to enhance the image of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce.

“When I am talking to people I find out that they have misconceptions about what we do and what our priorities are,” Augustine said. “We are definitely a

there is division among the Chamber, the Visitors Bureau and the City.

“We are all in this for the long haul and we want our efforts to be successful, “ she said. “We all recognize that it takes all of us to get it there.”

Augustine acknowledged that the Chamber’s executive director position has been used by some as a “stair step” to other jobs.

“But I plan to be here for a long while,” she said.

“I come from a family that considers community service an obligation and a privilege. I really do believe there is work to be done here, so I am ready to do it.”

Augustine believes she is well prepared for the new position coming from a family that owned and operated a family hardware store in Missouri.

“I grew up in business,” she said. “It’s a different world when you see the impact of people buying and selling.”

Her private, public and corporate business background also includes

graphics and printing and employee training. Those positions also led to her work with volunteer groups and non-profits.

“That background makes it a perfect fit here,” she said. “I really have an invested interest in what happens in Lincoln City. I do love Lincoln City, warts and all.”

Augustine had been a Portland resident who frequently vacationed in Lincoln City. When the Chamber’s office manager position opened she applied and was hired.

“And I have been ecstatically happy ever since,” she said. “I was very lucky. I could not have landed in a more centrally connected workplace than the Chamber of Commerce.”

The Executive Director’s position’s annual salary ranges from $30,000 to $35,000.

The Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce is located at 4039 NW Logan Road. For more details, call (541) 9943070, or visit www.lcchamber.com.

Luna Yan joins Depoe Bay dock, pilings repair work to begin Umpqua Bank Work to replace a dock and pilings in the Depoe Bay Harbor damaged in March 2011 by a tsunami following the earthquake in Japan is expected to begin in mid November.

The Depoe Bay City Council on Oct. 22 awarded the contract to complete the work to Billeter Marine of Coos Bay following the company’s low bid of $334,790.79.

“The tsunami took about a foot and half right out of the center of the dock and it did some damage underneath,” said Depoe Bay City Council President Barbara Leff. “We have tourists all year long, so we have to have that dock operational.”

The work will include replacing the steel pilings, removing the wood dock and adding a 10-foot wide, 248-foot long aluminum floating dock.

Following the tsunami, the city attempted to work through the federal regulation process to get the damage repaired.

“It is a very complex process and there is a short window of opportunity to

“Luna’s clients will benefit from her extensive mortgage knowledge and experience,” said Regional Vice President Jered Helton. “We are glad to have her join our Home Lending team to serve customers in Lincoln County and along the Oregon Coast.”

Yan has lived in Oregon for 19 years, including the last four years in Lincoln City. She has over twelve years of experience in the local mortgage industry and speaks English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

County Commission

Tom Runions

Dear Lincoln County Voters: Looking for basis for your vote on a very important office. Let our ad hoc group of non-partisan and Independent voters help. With League of Women Voters as a model of providing objective information and avoiding candidate personal attacks, our small group including Democrats, Republicans and Independents contacted County Commissioner candidates asking their program and policy goals. They graciously accepted.

Why this approach? We’ve noticed a new trend emerging in American politics: Major party voters’ registration is declining while non-affiliated and Independent registration is growing. Sources: Pew Research Center, the Nation and National Public Radio recently and verified by Elections Chief Dana Jenkins right here in Lincoln County. Guess: Voters are sick of negative campaigns and seek more insight about candidate’s qualifications and purpose. Attending any one of the only three candidate forms meant evening travel at some distance – difficult for our ages as well as many others.

Our small group, mostly seniors, do have three concerns in common: 1) Shocking status of county youth. According to Lincoln County Children’s Trust: five categories our youth are worse than state levelsinfant mortality, poverty, abuse and neglect, homelessness and hunger; 2) Elimination of Teen Court and Senior Outreach cited for budget reasons in 2008 effecting our two most vulnerable and voiceless groups; and 3) Unpublished 2006 – 2007 wage study resulting in 2008 historic wage increases for county administrators and commissioners.

Born in Oregon. Age 53. B.A. Pacific University (1981). M.S. Honors in Journalism, Northwestern University (1986). Married. No Children.

Employment: 1975 – 2004 in Print and Radio Journalism. Newport News-Times – Reporting and editing 1987 – 1990. Radio reporting – 1975 – 2004: Portland KBPS, Toledo KZUS and Newport KNPT, KYTE, KBCH and KCRF. Elected County Commission – 2004 – 2012.

Three Most Important Accomplishments During Two Terms –

1.Supporting creation and retention of local jobs. Early NOAA funding. Combining wave energy support with protection of sport and commercial fishing. Start-up funding efforts for aquarium and Community College nursing programs. And supporting small farmers and “buy local” programs.

2.Addressing homelessness and housing 10 –year plan. Led efforts for: 18 apartment units for homeless; three homes for low-income families; expanded school services for homeless students and health clinic for low-income residents.

3.Creation of Lincoln County Drug Court. Led group efforts to: Develop Drug Court; Wrote successful $200,000 federal and state grant for drug treatment; Helped gain court supervision treatment for those facing criminal charges which “improved public safety and taxpayer savings.”

Three or More Programs and Policies to Focus On If Elected –

1.Finding ways to maintain services through greater efficiencies during economic uncertainties; Cross-training staff. Streamlining processes and elimination of duplication. Increasing information for online computer users.

2.Continuing to look for ways to create and preserve jobs. “It’s hard to say what specific opportunities will come along… The key early funding for NOAA was unpredicted four years ago.”

3.Continuing to build community partnerships to serve at-risk populations of children, seniors, the hungry and homeless. Because government sources are shrinking, “It’s important to provide training and support to… help churches, private businesses and caring individuals to step forward.”

Equipment investment of 10 major Mack, Kenworth and John Deere vehicles including smaller support vehicles, grader, backhoe and excavator.

Three Administrative Change Objectives If Elected –

1.To limit County Commission position to two terms.

2.To create county wage policy based on periodic community wage comparisons and commensurate to both public and private sectors.

3.To roll back County Commission and administrative salaries to before 208 historic wage hikes based on 2006-2007 unpublished wage study still unavailable to media and public.

Three or More Programs and Policies to Focus On If Elected –

1.Restore Teen Court and Senior Outreach – two modest costing programs serving our most vulnerable and voiceless citizens – cancelled in 2008 cited for the county’s economic constraints. Funding available by ending 2008 county PR position costing more than for teen court and 583 seniors program 2.Return Commission conduct of county business to be democratic rather than autocratic and demand transparent decisions for the public rather than “Happy Talk” explanations.

3.Emphasize for county to update policies: 1)To hire local rather than outside service providers: 2) To find alternative funding for road department rather than relying on subsidies and entitlements; and 3) To consider bringing back local private timber tax revenues.

4.Support Lincoln County Children’s Trust projects and increase County efforts to reduce serious conditions for county youth including poverty, abuse and neglect, homelessness and hunger.

5.Resolve County’s ongoing civil lawsuit being heard at U.S. District Court in Eugene asap. Should the Matthew Zekan vs Lincoln County case continue longer and the court rules that certain county agents, including County Commissioners Hall, Thomspson and former Commissioner Lindly, violated constitutional civil rights, then those agents involved should pay all legal costs rather than have taxpayers bear the enormous potential litigation fees. All county parties are currently claiming to have different forms of immunity.

6.Require that public meetings always take place prior to any elected official being barred from office

Obituaries Clarence Scott Allen, 81, of Lincoln City, Ore., died Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2012, following a long and courageous battle with cancer.

The youngest of six siblings, Clarence Clarence was born Scott Allen at home in Westfir, Ore., to Dona and Ezra Monroe Allen. His early boyhood, in the forested hills and valleys surrounding the North Fork of the Willamette River, was filled with exploring and swimming. “Working” soon became the focus of his life, and that focus continued with a never-ending list of projects to do! Shortly before he died, when asked by his daughter-in-law what were the pertinent happenings in his life, he thought for just a moment and said, “Well, there were four: Number One was join-

ing the Navy; Number Two was getting an education; Number Three was marrying Suzanne; and Number Four was going overseas with the overseas school system.”

He expanded on the four, and I can only say I wish his answer could have been recorded. The importance of family and life-long learning and respecting other people and their differences was paramount throughout his life.

Clarence graduated from Oakridge High School in 1949; had a tour with the U.S. Navy which included a one-year cruise through the Far East; received his B.S. and M.Ed. from the University of Oregon and his Ph.D. from the University of Santo Tomas, Manila Philippines. He taught in Beaverton, Ore., before going overseas where he soon became a principal; for 30 years, he focused on developing facilities for teachers to provide the very best education for their students. He was an innovative administrator and an exemplary leader who cared about the people under his supervision. His honors and

Car prowler arrested Lincoln City Police have arrested a 24-year-old man following a car prowling report.

Officers report that on Oct. 24 at approximately 7:18 p.m., an in-progress car break-in was reported outside the Gallucci’s Pizza Restaurant. The owner of the victim vehicle interrupted the suspect as he was damaging the dashboard in efforts to remove the car stereo.

When confronted, police said the suspect displayed an unidentified object and told the victim he was armed with a gun. Members of the Lincoln City Police Department responded to the 911 call, however the suspect fled after hearing police sirens approaching. The victim was able to provide a detailed description of the suspect to the investigating officer, Shawn Carter.

The Lincoln City Police Department conducted a detailed search of the surrounding neighborhood with the assistance of Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office

Deputy Etheridge.

At approximately 8:25 p.m., Deputy Etheridge spotted a male matching the suspect’s description sitting inside a vehicle parked along the 1800 block of NW 28th Street. The person was contacted and later positively identified as the suspect.

Hector Uriel RamirezChacon,24, was taken into custody and lodged in the Lincoln County Jail on charges of Robbery 3rd Degree, Menacing, Unlawful Entry into Motor Vehicle, Criminal Mischief 2nd Degree, and Theft 2nd Degree. RamirezChacon also had three warrants previously issued for his arrest by Marion County.

Ramirez-Chacon’s girlfriend, Solinna Monique Butler, 20, was also contacted and taken into custody on an unrelated misdemeanor warrant issued by Marion County.

Anyone with any information about this case is urged to call Lincoln City Police Officer Shawn Carter at (541) 994-3636.

accolades over the decades could fill volumes! Taiwan, the Republic of the Philippines and Germany were “home” for the Allen family for 34 years. What a marvelous life he had!

Clarence is survived by his wife of 50 years, Suzanne; his son and wife, Craig and Annette Allen of Beaverton, Ore.; his daughter and husband, Kristen and Dwayne Bloomer; grandsons, Kieran and Conner of Ramstein, Germany; his only surviving sibling, Bob Allen of Yakima, Wash.; and numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, Naomi, Anne and Alta; and brother, Ulas.

A celebration of his life will be held in Lincoln City at the Side Door Cafe on Sunday, Nov. 4, at 1 p.m., and a final tribute will be held at the Pioneer Cemetery in Westfir, Ore., during the summer of 2013.

Pipe leak fix to cost water customers

Work to replace an aging 12-inch steel water main in the Schooner Creek area will likely cost the eight residents an extra $21 a month for water service for the next 25 years under a plan approved by the Lincoln City Council Oct. 22.

“The water line is badly rusted and leaks,” said Lincoln City Manager David Hawker.

Officials estimated that at one point the main leaked as much as 3 million gallons of water each month. While city crews have used specialized equipment to reduce the leak to about 500,000 gallons a month, Hawker told the council that the leak will increase and that it would be very difficult and expensive to repair.

The council accepted Hawker’s plan to adopt a $21 fee per property to replace the water line.

The replacement could take two to four years to complete.

Councilor Gary Ellingson encouraged the council to consider using a private contractor to have the work done quickly.

Hawker said that would double the cost and would likely trigger opposition to the fee from the area residents.

A draft copy of the surcharge ordinance will be sent to Schooner Creek water customers and a public hearing on the surcharge will be held in November.

Siletz House in search of a new home JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Finding a replacement for the Siletz House, a shelter for wayward men hoping to reestablish their lives through sobriety and gainful employment remains uncertain as Faith Community Services strives to identify a new location for the facility.

In September, the group announced that it plans to move out of its current house, a City owned property on S.W. 50th Street, with the aim of finding a bigger property. But much, including the group’s plans to expand its services, remains in flux, board member Jim Stanley said.

“I wish I could say there is more to this right now, but

there are so many intangibles, so many things still up in the air, that we really have nothing to report except to say we’re looking,” he said.

“We’re sort of treading water until we find a new facility.

As of this date, there are one or two options but nothing definitive.”

Stanley said one of the organization’s volunteer board members has moved out of town and another has accepted a full-time job, hindering its plans to announce details of expansion of services or plans involving the house.

“They are all sort of medium size and we need something with at least four bedrooms and a couple of baths and we’re just falling short of that right now,”

he said. “There are a lot of men interested in the Siletz House, but we’re not sure where and when we can accommodate them at this point.”

Stanley said the two men who still occupy the house in the Taft district of Lincoln City, have jobs and should be well off as Faith Community Services looks for a new home.

“By the time the end of January comes, they’ll have enough money saved up where they can move out and get their own place … which is sort of a good end to their stories,” he said.

Stanley said he is optimistic a larger replacement home would be secured in the near future.

“We have a lot of guns

ready to fire,” he said. “The worse-case scenario is we’ll take one of the smaller ones, then move up, but we’re really doing a broad search right now. It’s amazing what’s out there that are vacated homes or left unattended and we’re kind of working with a couple banks and a couple of nonprofit groups to see what we can do.”

Faith Community Services has operated out of the City-owned property since 2008, receiving reduced rent in return for maintaining the aging structure.

The City bought the house in 2007 with the intent of using it along with an adjacent property as a site for a visitor attraction such as a weather or tsunami

education center.

After being informed that Faith Community Services was moving out, councilors made the decision to demolish the building after the group’s lease expires on Jan. 31, 2013, rather than spend money renovating it.

“I’m simply not interested in putting good money into fixing a limiteduse property,” Mayor Dick Anderson said at a Sept.

24 meeting of the Urban Renewal Agency.

Councilors agreed to offer the building to North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1 for a practice burn and to contact the Habitat for Humanity ReStore to see if they want to remove any reusable fixtures from the home.

At the same Sept. 24 meeting, City Manager David Hawker revealed that the City no longer thinks a visitor attraction is the best use of the property.

“Mo’s and the beach draw a lot of people there,” he said, “and I’m not sure if we need an attraction to draw more. I’m not in favor of having a public attraction there.”

Instead, Hawker recommended the City look at entering into a public/ private partnership sale or land lease to develop the land within the next couple of years. He said a mixeduse, commercial/residential project is one option for the site that could add significant taxable value.

Changes coming to National Flood Insurance Program JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Changes to the National Flood Insurance Program likely will result in homeowners no longer receiving a subsidy for secondary homes.

National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) rates for pre-Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) homes will increase upon policy renewal beginning Jan. 1, said Christine Shirley, NFIP coordinator for the Planning Services Division of the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development.

Damaging hurricanes of the magnitude of Katrina and Rita, and a few other storms, forced NFIP to increase revenue by phasing out of pre-FIRM subsidies, Shirley said.

“The NFIP is nearly

$18 billion in debt to the national treasury,” she said. “[NFIP] was conceived as a self-supporting insurance program, and it mostly was until Katrina and Rita.”

Shirley said efforts to get Congress to forgive the loan from the treasury failed, and the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 requires that this, and any future debt, be repaid within 10 years.

The reform also requires the Federal Insurance Management Agency (FEMA) to build up a reserve fund, she said. Actuarial rates must also be calculated, per the reform, using average losses that include the catastrophic loss years. In the past, big losses were not used in the average.

Pre-FIRM means built before the first flood insurance rate map was made available in a jurisdiction.

Pre-FIRM dates vary. PreFIRM dates can be determined by looking at FEMA’s Community Status Book online. The Pre-FIRM date is in the “Init FIRM identified” column. Before that date is pre-FIRM. Shirley said the BiggertWaters Act also requires that subsidized rates not be offered on policies that have been allowed to lapse.

“It is very important that owners of pre-FIRM buildings maintain their flood insurance for the subsidy to phase out over several years rather than all at once,” Shirley said. “It is not clear whether people who buy new flood insurance policies now will be allowed to phase in.”

FEMA has indicated that rulemaking associated with the reform will begin to be rolled out for public comment beginning in January,

Shirley said.

“There are still many unknowns with respect to how FEMA intends to implement the reform act,” she said. “The only thing I can say for certain is that preFIRM vacation homes have their premiums increased by 25 percent per year until actuarial rates are reached, beginning with renewals after Jan. 1, 2013.”

Shirley said she expects floodplain managers in areas such as Lincoln City with a significant number of vacation homes to start fielding questions once insured building owners are notified of the increasing premiums.

FEMA has suggested that insurance companies insert the following language in their policy renewals for pre-FIRM second homes: “The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) histor-

ically has offered subsidized rates to certain structures built prior to a community’s full implementation of the Program. These subsidized rates do not reflect the full risk of flood loss to such structures.

“On July 6, 2012, the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 was signed into law. Among other provisions, this Act phases out subsidized rates for certain properties, including for non-primary residences.

“FEMA defines the term non-primary residence to mean a structure that has not been occupied by the policyholder, or their

spouse, for 80 percent of: (a) the 365 days immediately preceding the policy renewal; or (b) the period of ownership, if the period of ownership is less than 365 days.

“These properties will no longer receive reduced premium rates for flood insurance, and the annual premium rates must increase by 25 percent a year until they reflect the full risk of flood loss.”

The reform act also changed other key provisions of the NFIP, Shirley said. Go to the Association of State Floodplain Managers website at www.floods. org for further information.

Pump prices still falling in Oregon, Sandy may have impact Average retail gasoline prices in Oregon have fallen 10.1 cents per gallon in the past week, averaging $3.85 per gallon. This compares with the national average that has fallen 9.6 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.56 per gallon, according to gasoline price website OregonGasPrices.com.

Including the change in gas prices in Oregon during the past week, prices were 9.4 cents per gallon higher than during the same period one year ago and are 12.1 cents per gallon lower than a month ago. The national average has decreased 23.1 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 10.2 cents per gallon higher than this period one year ago.

Hurricane Sandy has triggered a number of uncertainties about the impact at the pump for various fuels, according to GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.

“There is very little to look back at history and compare this storm to, and so far, it remains to be seen exactly how gasoline and diesel prices will be impacted,” said DeHaan.

He said motorists west of the Mississippi might see little change in prices because of the storm, but motorists in the states to be highly impacted may see disruptions at various levels.

“However, any disruptions in supply may be offset by area-wide shutdowns of business, leading to curtailed demand for fuel,” said DeHaan. “We will certainly be keeping everyone up-to-date on the GasBuddy blog throughout the storm,” DeHaan said. The GasBuddy blog can be found at http://blog.gasbuddy.com.

“Awareness of tsunami warning signs is vital when traveling through or living in tsunami-prone areas,” said Lila Bradley, Public Works director for the City. “Part of being a ‘Storm Ready Community’ is having the proper signage in inundation zones and at beach accesses to help visitors and residents stay safe and know that they need to go to high ground.”

The last major subduction zone earthquake causing a tsunami was on Jan. 26, 1700. Scientists figure that the subduction zone quake rattles the coast in three- to fivehundred-year cycles, meaning the Pacific Northwest is past due.

“One of the first things made available to us through the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries was the testing of tsunami signs to get our city organized,” said Sheridan Jones, emergency planner for Lincoln City. “My hope is we never have to deal with it.”

Tsunami hazard zone signs, pointed out here by Lincoln City Emergency Planner Sheridan Jones, are posted at all beach accesses, identifying evacuation zones.

Evacuation site signs are posted near shelters and on higher ground. The Lincoln City tsunami map, available throughout town, provides details.

A body found Oct. 21 on a Pacific City-area beach was positively identified by the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office as a 20year old Depoe Bay man sought by area law enforcement agencies after fleeing Kyle L. a Sept. 24 Wallace Oregon State Police (OSP) traffic stop. The Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office has determined there is no evidence the man’s death was the result of a crime.

According to Tillamook County Deputy Dean Burdick, on Oct. 21, a body was spotted by people walking on the beach about 3/4 of a mile south of the dory boat launch area in Pacific City. The body appeared to have

washed onto shore and was unidentified. Using fingerprints, the body was positively identified by the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office as Kyle L. Wallace, 20, of Depoe Bay. Wallace, a wanted fugitive with multiple warrants, was sought by OSP and area law enforcement agencies after he fled in a vehicle stopped by OSP on Sept. 24, in the area of Highway 101 and Otter Crest Loop Road. The vehicle was later found abandoned about a mile from the traffic stop location and an area search failed to find Wallace.

On Oct. 4, OSP issued a news release requesting the public’s help to find Wallace. Next of kin were notified and the death investigation is being completed by Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.

Questions regarding the investigation should be directed to Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office.

Flooding

From page A1

ago indentified alternatives to end the flooding which involved a series of projects that included building a new roadway. But Hoge said the alternatives would cost as much as $20 million and the county just did not have the funding needed.

The latest effort involves an estimated $5 million plan to remove the 38-foot and 18-foot bridges and replacing them with two 60-foot bridges, elevate the bridges and the roadway. The work would include making a safe passage way for Coho salmon in Devils Lake and nearby creeks.

Hoge is working to take the plan to area stakeholders including residents and environmental groups to come up with alternatives

Idea

From page A1

Her husband, Don Williams, Bay Area Merchants Association (BAMA) president, has sent an email to BAMA members asking for their support for the boardwalk project.

“I believe that we must have a strong, early show of support from BAMA membership to show the city that we are serious about pursuing this project,” he said.

Debbie Williams took her idea to the Lincoln City Council Oct. 22, but came away with no commitment for the project.

“They did seem interested, but they said there was no money in urban renewal because the city had already committed money available for an undergrounding of utilities project at the Highway 101 wayside,” she said.

But when Williams took her idea and questions about funding to Kurt Olsen, Lincoln City Urban Renewal director, she got a different response.

“There may be funding to do both William’s boardwalk idea and the city’s plans to underground the wayside utilities,” Olsen told The News Guard.

Olsen said in 1999 a vision document called The Taft Plan was developed by the city and a consulting

to protect the native species such as the Coho and still allow the water to flow beneath the bridges.

Funding for the project is still uncertain. Lincoln County Public Works receives its budget through state gas taxes and a secure schools tax.

“But because our budget has been reduced, we can’t take on big money projects like East Devils Lake Road flooding even though we need to, we just don’t have the funds,” he said. “If we had the funds now we would start designing (the solution) immediately.”

Hoge is hopeful the county will find grants to help pay for the long-term fix. Meantime, Hoge is monitoring the flooding and his crews plan some short-term solutions.

“We may try to elevate

firm outlining proposed economic development projects for the area.

“These were just ideas and placeholders of what could happen,” said Olsen.

“One of those ideas was The Bay Walk that connected Cutler City to the Taft area.”

According to Olsen, a few segments of the Taft Plan have already been constructed.

“Sidewalks have been added on 51st Street all the way down to the Siletz Bay Lodge Motel,” Olsen said.

“We have also been working on a design for a section of the walk way that would go from the Bay House to about 200 feet north. It’s actually a project to make it a paved parking lot.”

Part of the Taft vision included vendors, according to Olsen, and an ordinance was established to allow vending.

“So the idea of having vendors could definitely be done, however our climate may limit the time the outdoor vendors can be there on site, perhaps from Spring Break through Labor Day,” he said.

The anticipated cost for the wayside utility project is $1.2 million. It has yet to be designed. Olsen expects more urban renewal funds could be available for the William’s boardwalk project idea.

portions of the roadway with asphalt where we can,” he said.

If the flooding becomes extreme, the county will close the roadway.

Erin Lahti travels East Devils Lake Road frequently and is concerned about the environmental impact to the adjacent wetlands.

“It seems to we that the majority of drivers who pass through the high water haven’t stopped to consider all the grime and oil from their cars being washed into the surrounding wetlands,” said Lahti.

She suggests the county set up a toll bridge to help fund the solutions.

Join the discussion of this important community issue.

Post your comments on this story at thenewsguard.com.

“All the urban renewal funds have not been earmarked,” he said. “We anticipate another $4 to $5 million to come in the next three to four years.”

Williams said the boardwalk could actually be extended from the west to include the Taft dock and property along the bay all the way up to Highway 101 if adjacent property owners agreed that the boardwalk was a viable economic development project.

City officials are not clear who owns the Taft dock and what repairs, if any, would be needed to best connect to the boardwalk project.

Debbie and Don Williams are hopeful they can generate enough public support to make the boardwalk a reality.

“It is definitely possible,” said Olsen. “The next step is for supporters of this project to take their idea before the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency as the agency begins to develop its new budget next year.”

“I think there is still time to change the direction of that ship before it sails,” said Olsen. “We would have to have community involvement and opinion in saying this is where we would rather have our money spent,” he said.

The Congregational Church on 25th Street will house the new Lincoln City Warming Center

New warming center to open for homeless Ken McCormack and Marion Rodenburg are worried about the homeless in Lincoln County.

“We are seeing many people, not just men and women, but their children as well, living in tents in the woods, or in their cars, because they can’t afford a home,” said Rodenburg.

There is no homeless shelter in Lincoln City and while local churches are collaborating to take some of the homeless in for a week or so, such efforts have not yet begun.

So Rodenberg and McCormack, members of the Congregational Church, are launching a “low-level” project to help the homeless as soon as possible.

McCormack is the director of the new Lincoln City Warming Shelter that will open inside the Congregational Church at 1760 NW 25th Street during the cold and wet fall and winter.

How to Help

Donate blankets, sleeping bags, cots, and cash Volunteer Call (541) 994-2378 or (503) 392-3717 “There has been a need for this for many years,” said McCormack. “We hope that when the weather really gets dangerously cold, this will provide people with a warm and dry place to get out of the weather.

We just want to get people out of the cold to a warm safe place to prevent them from freezing to death or getting hypothermia.”

“There are other places they can go for services during the day,” said Rodenburg. “But at night there is no place for them to go to get out of the cold weather.”

The warming center is designed to serve as many people as possible. It will be open when temperatures drop below freezing and on days when winds are severe. Notification will be through local media, police and social networks.

Volunteers will staff the center and provide warm meals and sack lunches to the homeless.

“We will offer food and probably have blankets and sleeping bags, but we can’t be sure right now,” McCormack said. “We don’t have beds or mattresses.

McCormack and Rodenburg are encouraging public donations of food, blankets, sleeping bags and cash donations to help.

To donate or volunteer, call the Congregational Church at (541) 994-2378 or McCormack at (503) 392-3717.

‘Drop, cover, hold on’ put to test at local schools JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Ten hours and 18 minutes into the 18th day of the 10th month of the year, thousands of Oregon students ducked for cover following warning alarms signaling that a major earthquake had struck the Pacific Northwest.

North Lincoln County students crawled under their desks, covered their heads with their hands and quietly and patiently waited during the largest earthquake drill ever staged in the state.

The Great Oregon ShakeOut was deemed a success on Thursday, Oct. 18, when the rallying cry “Drop, Cover, Hold On� was obeyed in full force by legions of students throughout Oregon. It was part of a procedure encouraging local governments and their agencies to participate in efforts to prevent a

major seismic event from becoming an unfortunate catastrophe. “You need to know what to do if something shakes and falls on you,� one student told another during the clockwork-like procedure undertaken at Oceanlake Elementary School and around the state.

In three minutes, 11 seconds — or about the time it takes to boil an egg — nearly 450 Oceanlake students were accounted for on school grounds after responding to a fire alarm prompting evacuation of the school that was held in conjunction with the earthquake drill.

Overall, more than 40,000 Oregonians were expected to participate in the ShakeOut, now scheduled annually on the third Thursday of October. “The earthquake drill last Thursday was a great experience,� Taft High 7-12

Principal Scott Reed said. “The students took the drill very seriously, with a little encouragement from staff. Teachers decided to compete to see whose class would be best. While several classes were exceptional, [social studies teacher] Mr. [Perry] Herbst’s class was a cut above.�

Prior to the drill, students were instructed that no community is immune from natural hazards, whether it be earthquake, wildfire, flood, storms, drought, heat wave, or dam failure. They were taught measures meant to help them understand and withstand natural hazards as well as the importance of reducing the human suffering, property damage, interruption of public services and economic losses caused by those hazards. “It was neat to know schools across Oregon, and LCSD, were also participat-

Tigers claim youth football win Early fumble recoveries and the play of Calvin and Justin Plechaty led the Tigers to a 21-14 Lincoln City Youth Football League victory over Florence on Saturday, Oct. 27, at Voris Field.

The Tigers used touchdowns from the Plechaty brothers and a third from Talon Grant to finish 3-3 in fifth- and sixth-grade Division 2 play. “We fought for every yard,� Lincoln City coach Ryan Hill said. “Florence is a very good team with larger players. We had never played

them before, nor seen them play, It came down to who wanted it more.� “It was each unit working harder than the day before,� Hill said. “As a coach, I couldn’t be prouder of this group of kids– 100 percent improvement from the start of the season.�

In an afternoon game, Newport claimed a 25-20 Division 1 (second through fourth graders) victory over Lincoln City.

Darius Smith scored two touchdowns and Kaden Hindman another for the

Tigers. Francisco Ramos and Hindman scored on conversion runs.

Played in wind and rain, Hill cited the play of his line and linebackers Damian Hill and Jay Crow for keeping the Tigers in the game.

Lincoln City, 2-2, won a Division 3 game for seventh and eighth graders by forfeit over Toledo.

The league’s season concludes Saturday, Nov. 3, at Voris Field against Waldport with a Division 3 game scheduled at 9:30 a.m. and a Division 1 game at 11:30 a.m.

Taft Sports Roundup

Tiger runners cross the finish line JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Taft cross-country coach Rebecca Dressler knew going in the chances were remote for the Tigers to advance a runner to the state championships. That didn’t diminish her gratification over a season of progress that she expects to carry over to track.

When the Tigers hit the starting blocks this spring, several of her runners will bring along a record of meet-by-meet improvement.

“Throughout the season, some athletes got personal best times every meet, while others faced the anxieties of running in their very first race,” the second-year coach said following the Oregon West Conference championship meet at Cascade on Saturday, Oct. 27. “As a coach, I was always impressed with the constant improvement and effort each week. And their hard work this season will only continue.”

While Taft failed to get a runner to the Saturday, Nov. 3, state championship meet in Eugene, numerous runners continued their marked improvement throughout the season.

Senior Bobby Brandenburg, who posted Saturday’s highest finish, placing 10th with a career-best 17.52, led Taft at districts.

“Bobby has been on a transformational journey in cross country throughout his high school career,” Dressler said. “His passion for running is contagious, and the team would not be the same without him.”

Joining Brandenburg in their final high school cross-country competition were Pablo Lascano, Soleil Zumhofe, Tristanna (Trish) Snyder and Taryn Brewer.

For Zumhofe, the girls team captain, the season allowed her to fully realize her passion for running after three seasons with the Tigers, Dressler said.

“She continued to improve throughout the season, almost reaching her season goal of making it into the 21-minute range,” she said.

Dressler said Lascano was another passionate runner, but an even more inspired sprinter who is anxious for the track and field season.

“He has used this year to begin preparing him for his true love– track,” she said. “Watch out for him in the 100-meter and 200-meter dashes. The team and I always love watching Pablo ‘kick it’ at the end of every cross-country race.”

Dressler said Snyder also has ambitions to continue running beyond the cross country season. She has joined sophomore Zach Colbert and junior Samantha Brewer in training for the

Lincoln City Half Marathon, usually scheduled in March.

“She has been a joy to have on the team as she also loves the sport and shares that enthusiasm with others,” she said.

Dressler said Brewer accomplished her goal of running for the fun of the sport, “She continued to improve and eventually become competitive with herself, trying to beat her best time at each meet,” she said.

Freshman Kendal Gile, whose goal is to break the 18-minute barrier and compete in the state meet in his high school career, achieved a personal-best time of 19:56 at the district meet.

“This team included a wide variety of talent and experience,” Dressler said.

“To see how we all came together as a team inspired me every day. We truly encouraged each other to be our best.”

Newport junior Deklyn Wood won the boys conference championship in 16:29, defeating the Philomath tandem of Brian Blythe and Caelin Alba, who clocked 16.55 and 16.57, respectively.

Cascade senior Kristen LaChapelle won the girls race in 20.02, Central’s Mandi Desmarteau was second in 20.14, and Newport senior Mariah Colmenero was third in 20.49.

Philomath captured the boys’ team title with 27 points, followed by Newport, 58; Cascade, 64; Stayton, 77; Central, 137; and Taft, 155.

Stayton, with 54 points, claimed the girls’ championship. Cascade was next with 56, followed by Philomath, 59; Newport, 83; and Central, 93. The Tigers did not post a team score.

VOLLEYBALL— The Tigers concluded a winless regular season with a 25-10, 25-16, 25-17 Oregon West Conference defeat at Cascade on Tuesday, Oct. 23.

Taft, which was led by another flawless service game from senior McKenna Sarvis, finished the season 0-17 overall and 0-10 in league play.

Sarvis was 15 of 15 serving with four aces for Taft against the Cougars (19-6, 8-2 Oregon West), who placed second in the league play behind Philomath (165, 9-1).

Leading the Tigers were sophomore BillyAnn Stempel with six kills, senior Alina Button seven assists, sophomore Katie McCardell six blocks and junior Taylor Adams nine digs.

“The team played well with a lot of long rallies,” coach Frank Napoleon said.

“Cascade was attacking the ball well and we were able to get a few blocks on them and pick up many of their hits.”

Tigers lose in shootout with Cascade JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Win or lose, at the end of each game, the Taft High football team huddles in an empty end zone and takes a knee while players stand and praise worthy teammates for their play.

Things were no different following a wild 55-38 Oregon West Conference defeat to Cascade on Friday, Oct. 26, at Voris Field.

This time, however, the entire team might just as well have stood up.

The Tigers came up on the short end of the score in an exhilarating game, but easily put forth their most explosive effort despite falling to 1-8 overall and 1-4 in league play.

“I only care about improvement,” first-year Taft coach Perry Herbst said, “and I’m happy with the improvement we saw. I say that time and time again to these kids and they say, OK, then we’ll just get better, and they have. It was great to see.”

Taft, which narrowly lost a league game 20-17 in overtime a week earlier at rival Newport, held a brief third-quarter lead before falling in their conference finale on Senior Night at Voris Field.

“I kind of expected for this to turn into a highscoring affair,” said Herbst, who delved deeper into the playbook by spreading out the offense. “I was just hoping we could score a few more points.”

With Taft star senior middle linebacker Trevor Knott out with a concussion, Cascade started the scoring avalanche less than two minutes into the game when running back Morris Back scored from the 8 and quarterback Cody Crawford ran for the 2-point conversion.

Starting at its own 20, Taft evened the score 8-8 with 3:09 to play in the quarter when senior quarterback Seth Steere completed three passes, including a 22-yard scoring strike to senior Brent Martin.

“I don’t know how many catches he had, but it had to be in double figures,” Herbst said of Martin, who also starts at defensive back. “He’s a really good receiver and route runner.

He’s a technician out there.

He is understanding where the open grass is.”

The Cougars responded by going 60 yards to lead

Friday game added

A nonconference varsity home football game has been added to Taft High’s regularseason schedule.

The Tigers will play Molalla (2-7 overall, 1-4 Tri-Valley Conference) at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 2, at Voris Field.

“We’re treating it kind of like our playoff game,” Taft coach Perry Herbst said. “We don’t turn down opportunities to play.

We’ll play anybody, anywhere, anyhow.”

JIM FOSSUM?THE NEWS GUARD

Taft quarterback Seth Steere eludes the rush by Cascade in a 55-38 Oregon West Conference game at Voris Field.

16-8 with 11:23 to play in the second quarter when Crawford snuck over from the 2 on fourth down and Back ran for the two-point conversion.

Steere was then intercepted and Cascade moved on top 24-8 when Crawford hit senior James Vettrus from 30 yards out with 8:18 to play in the first half.

The Tigers cut the margin to 24-14 with 2:05 left before halftime when Martin scored on a 3-yard run after gaining big yardage on a reverse. Steere connected downfield with senior Skyler Lopez and junior Tyler Henson to get Taft into position for the score.

Behind improved line play, Herbst credited Steere for his ability to make things happen offensively — in and out of the pocket — despite the intimidating play of 6-foot-1 inch, 244-pound senior lineman Justin Kruse.

“Seth has started to set his feet and really throw the ball,” he said. “He’s come a long way. I’m not the easiest guy when it comes to him, and he’s a kid who just absorbs it. He eats it up. It’s, ‘OK, Coach, OK, Coach.’

As long as he stays coachable like that, he’ll go a long way.”

bounds for the third straight time to start the next series, but senior Tyler Lopez picked Crawford off to end the threat.

Martin then scored on an end-around from the 2 to make it 24-20 just five seconds before halftime.

“That was kind of the game plan,” Herbst said of spreading out the offense, “because I thought they were going to probably pack it and stop our run game.”

Steere hit Martin for 25 yards on the first play from scrimmage in the second half and completed three more passes before a 15-yard pass interference call in the end zone moved the ball half the distance to the goal to the 10. He then hit Skyler Lopez over the middle to give the Tigers a 26-24 lead with 8:11 left in the third quarter.

Cascade answered with a 55-yard strike from Crawford to fellow senior Paul Vettrus that set up a 5-yard scoring run by Crawford and 2-point conversion run

by Tyler Howe that made it 32-26 with 7:05 left in the third quarter.

Taft shanked a punt, which sailed out of bounds on its own 20, on the following possession to set up a 1-yard plunge by Crawford that made it 40-26 with 3:33 to play in the third period.

Steere was intercepted

with 9:40 left to play when Steere found Henson in the right corner of the end zone from the 14-yard line.

The Cougars then assembled a sustained drive before Howe scored from the 1 for a 55-32 lead with 3:54 left.

Steere hit Martin and Skyler Lopez for good gains before connecting with sophomore Pete Lahti in the left side of the end zone for the game’s final score with 40 seconds to play.

“We just tell the kids to come out with guns blazing and don’t worry about the other team, just concentrate on your play,” Herbst said. “We did that and gave them a game.”

Happening by trees Earth Abides

By Ken McCormack

A

fter I confessed to hugging trees recently, I received a lot of enthusiastic support.

“My father loved trees,” wrote my friend Deirdre Reynolds, “We frequently took drives, and lo and behold! We happened by some historic tree, which he stopped and took a picture of.

“My grandfather also loved trees,” she continued.

“He came to Oregon from Kansas. He built his house on an acre of land and planted all kinds of trees around it. The cornerstone of the yard was a Port Orford Cedar, which had a ring of limbs around the outside and came down to the ground.

We could climb up and slide down on them. The limbs were nicely spaced so we could climb up to the swaying trunk at the top. The tree is now old, and you can see light through it. Lower limbs are gone, so it is no longer so dark underneath.

“For a couple of years my parents put Christmas lights up to the top. How, I’ll never know (I was five). It was stopped when so many people came by (on a country road) and broke the lights.

“I am astounded that my grandfather had the sense to give each tree the space it needed. The only one he goofed on was an American Elm in the backyard. When we lived there with our kids, it was so tall that the man spraying the tree couldn’t get anywhere near the top and used systemic.

“That crazy thing is a lot bigger now than it was when our son built a tree house in it. It has those round elm seeds—trillions of them! It is right at the back porch, and those seeds look like snow and cover everything, and track inside with any shoes and coats and….

“Our blue spruce has lost its blue and its vitality. Limbs hang desolate and sparse. The hickory split to pieces in a silver thaw when I was little, and I woke up to cracking and crashing sounds outside my window. It eventually all had to come down.

Anyway, I come from a long line of tree lovers. We love trees. They are part of our heritage.”

Children actually climbed trees and built houses in them.

Today, that’s too dangerous.

Might hurt the tree. What a mistake!

My favorite place “to happen by some historic tree” is Cape Meares. A short hike through the old rainforest takes you to the biggest breath-taking Sitka Spruce in Oregon. An estimated 800-1000 years old, with a 16foot diameter and circumference of 48 feet, it anchors the landscape. Even with its crown missing, it is 144 feet tall.

The lower branches of the nearby Octopus Tree stretch straight out like tentacles. One story is: natives trained them that way by burying their dead.

In the desert, it’s from ashes to ashes. Here, it’s from bark to bark.

Cormorants prowl the shoreline. Murres, afraid of eagles, leave their nests and are dropping their eggs in the ocean. Swallows and gulls swirl overhead; falcons nest with their young on offshore rocks. Fat Douglas squirrels feast off salal and tourist treats.

The Three Capes Drive getting there is the best on the coast. It passes Sand Lake and Cape Lookout—both well worth a stop.

A good place to learn to identify native trees is the MacDonald Arboretum north of Corvallis on 99W. It has a broad selection of trees and shrubs, which are clearly labeled. It also features examples of different types of forest management and offers moderate to easy hiking trails.

‘Kickin’ Sand and Tellin’ Lies’ During the past two years, Linfield College students have collected oral histories from more than 80 dory fishermen and women in Pacific City. Their project will culminate in an original theatre production that portrays Oregon’s unique dory culture. The play will be performed at 7 p.m.

Saturday, Nov. 17 at the Kiawanda Community Center, with additional showings at Linfield College in McMinnville.

“Kickin’ Sand and Tellin’ Lies” is a fictional tale inspired by stories from dory men and women in Pacific City. Through a Linfield College project, “Launching through the Surf: The Dory Fleet of Pacific City,” students and faculty are preserving the stories, voices and images of dory fishermen. Coastal residents may view them online, and the findings will be showcased in a photographic exhibit that will accompany the play. The project will also be featured in a spring segment on the Oregon Field Guide television program, produced by Oregon Public Broadcasting.

The stories and experiences of characters in the theatre production come directly from more than 80 interviews conducted with dory fishermen. The play follows a young fisherman as he gradually learns respect for the ocean, the dory fleet and fellow anglers.

Set in Pacific City, the play opens with the Blessing of the Fleet, an annual event that kicks off the

fishing season, and it references local landmarks such as Haystack Rock and the former Sunset West Restaurant and Bar. The production touches on environmental regulations, fishery management practices, gender issues and tensions between loggers and fishermen.

“We had so much great material from all the interviews,” said Forrer, a senior theatre major at Linfield College who co-authored the play with Linfield Professor Jackson Miller. “People who fish always have great stories. This is an intriguing piece of Oregon culture. Thirty or 40 years ago Pacific City was one of the top fishing ports on the West Coast. They’re out there catching so many fish that when they run the boat into the sand it just sinks because it’s so heavy.”

Miller said the process of gathering the material gave them a vivid and intimate picture of life in Pacific City and in the dory community. “As a playwright, it’s been a unique opportunity,” he said. “It struck me how much fishing has impacted the people and how deeply personal some of their experiences are.

“Being a dory fisherman is no easy task,” Miller said. “They’ve all had experiences where they felt fearful for their lives. Almost everyone has a story about a big storm or mechanical problem or even seeing a shark, and they’re mindful of the risk when they go

out to sea. We heard one story about fishermen who went out in their dory and spread the ashes of a friend who had died the season before. When you hear those kinds of stories it’s impossible not to be moved by them.”

The play is sponsored by the Pacific City Arts Association and Pacific City Dorymen’s Association, and also supported by an Arts Build Communities grant from the Oregon Arts Commission. Linfield College students make up the cast, and the production is directed by Linfield theatre

arts Professor Janet Gupton.

In addition to the Pacific City production, the play will be presented at Linfield College on Nov. 1-3 and 8-10 at 7:30 p.m., and Nov. 4 at 2 p.m. All Linfield performances will be held in the Marshall Theatre in Ford Hall on campus, at 900 SE Baker Street in McMinnville.

The Pacific City showing is free. For ticket information for the McMinnville performances, including prices, visit www.linfield. edu/culture or call 503-883-2292.

Three local authors to sign books at hospital book sale

Oyster Cloyster for a cause You need not be a lightening fast shucker and swallower to enjoy the delicacies at the 2012 Oyster Cloyster Festival, Nov. 3 in Newport.

The gourmet oyster culinary competition benefits the Oregon Coast Community College Foundation and the OCCC Aquarium Science Program.

Thirteen chefs are confirmed to participate in this unique event aimed to please the most discriminating palate. Last year’s Top Chef winner from Rogue Ales, second place winner from the Oregon Coast Culinary Institute, third place winner from the Shilo Inn and People’s Choice

winner from Local Ocean will all be returning to keep or beat their titles.

Also hoping to be in the competition this year are chefs from Angell Job Corp, Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Drift Inn, Gracie’s Sea Hag, La Maison, Luna Sea, Mist at Surftides, Ocean Bleu @ Gino’s, Pelican Pub & Brewery, Spirit Mountain Casino and Starfish Grill at Agate Beach Best Western.

The dinner is from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 3 at the Oregon Coast Aquarium. Tickets are $65 each or $125 for two.

Three local writers will show their support for Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital by attending a book signing at the hospital auxiliary’s Fall Book Sale on Wednesday, Nov. 7, from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the hospital cafeteria.

Popular mystery writer Arlene Sachitano, author of the Loose Threads mystery series featuring the quilters of Foggy Point, will be signing the fifth volume of the series, “The Quilt before the Storm,” as well as the four previous installments.

Dee Ann Brogue will be on hand to sign her just-published first novel, “Tansy and the 2,000 Earthquakes,” a young adult novel about a girl on her own during the 2,000 earthquakes of 1811-12 in New Madrid, Mo. Carolyn Parker’s tale of her cat’s adventures at his new home, a 17-acre rustic farm, “Squeaky’s Farm: Our Lives in Rural Spain,” has a five-star rating on Amazon.com and a signed copy of the book will make a perfect holiday gift for cat lovers and anyone who has ever dreamed of moving abroad.

The sale will also feature holiday-themed books, children’s books, local authors, new authors, new releases and gift items. Free gift wrapping will be available and there will be a free drawing for two gift packs.

A special order can be placed for a book or gift item that is not in stock the day of the sale.

Everyone is encouraged to come to the sale and do some holiday shopping.

The sale, hosted by the Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital Auxiliary in cooperation with Bob’s Beach Books, is a fundraiser to support the auxiliary’s programs. The auxiliary will receive 20 percent of the proceeds from the sale. Purchases may be paid for by cash or check.

Funds raised by the hospital auxiliary are used to support programs and purchase equipment for the hospital and to provide scholarships to local students interested in studying health care or advancing their health care careers.

Notice of Public Hearings – Lincoln City Planning Commission

The Planning Commission of the City of Lincoln City will hold a public hearing on the legislative question whether the City should amend its Comprehensive Plan map and annex to the City approximately 246 acres of unincorporated territory located in the Roads End area of Lincoln County. The area proposed for annexation is contiguous to the north City limits and within the Lincoln City urban growth boundary The annexation ordinance does not propose any change in underlying zoning designations, and all current Lincoln County land use plans and regulations for the Annexation Area would be retained until such time as a City ordinance applying City plans and regulations is adopted. During the adoption process, however, the ordinance may be changed to apply some or all City land use provisions to the Annexation Area. The annexation, if approved, would result in the City withdrawing the annexed territory from service districts, including the Lincoln County Library District, the Roads End Water District, and the Roads End Sanitary District.

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 moveout 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.
