Daniel was first diagnosed with the cancer in 2012 and it reoccurred in August of this year.

Increased enforcement, education for City’s grease trap policy

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Lincoln City City Council is backing a new effort by the City’s pubic works department to update and enforce additions to the Lincoln City grease trap ordinance. At the Dec. 9 Council session, Lila Bradley, Lincoln City Public Works director, and Edward Rudy Blum, a contracted worker, outlined the additions to the ordinance.

“The businesses aren’t maintaining the cleaning and maintenance frequency that is needed,” said Blum.

“We are asking them to police their own businesses.

We are suggesting they keep a maintenance log and keep an accurate record when they clean the grease traps.”

Bradley said the City is losing capacity in its sewer system because of the grease issue.

“We have a lot of grease in our pump stations and in our sewer lines,” said Bradley, who used a video to show the Council the grease trapped in sewer lines beneath the City. “We spend a lot of time cleaning the sewer lines,” she said. “The grease can cause backups and sewer spills in our pump stations, in our waterways and in the ocean.”

Business operators who violate the ordinance adopted in 2004 could face fines of $1,000 a day.

“That would be only after many repeated warnings,” said Bradley. “We are

These windows at Driftwood Library will soon be replaced after action by the Lincoln City City Council. not going out there and start fighting everyone.”

According to Bradley, the City has not levied such high fines against any business.

Bradley will send out letters to all 66 restaurants in Lincoln City to notify them of the ordinance additions and the opportunity to comment at a city meeting Feb. 10. The additions to the ordinance are also posted online at the City’s web site at lincolncity.org.

“We need to look at public housing,” said Councilor Henry Quandt. “They are part of the problem, too.

I’d like to see more public education not just for the restaurants.”

Councilor Gary Ellingson also voiced concern.

“Most people will do this the right way, but there will be one or two who won’t, so this is necessary in order to catch those one of two.”

“It bothers me to have to penalize the operators who are complying,” said Councilor Roger Sprague. “Are we pushing the ones that aren’t complying hard enough?”

“Not yet,” said Blum.

The Council also approved the purchase of 148 acres in Schooner Creek for $585,000. The area is primary timberland and could be harvested by the City.

But City Manager David Hawker said the purchase was meant to ensure the preservation and protection of the watershed in the area.

“The primary objective is not to harvest trees, it is to manage water quality,” said Hawker. Read Hawker’s full memo to the Council about the land deal at thenewsguard.com.

The Council also approved a plan to replace windows at the Driftwood Pubic Library at Lincoln City Hall and heard resident Jerry Warner’s concerns about the City’s purchase of the Villages at Cascade Head.

“The City has no business being in the land development business and the Council does not have the expertise to evaluate the overall costs needed for completion of the project,” said Warner.

The Council recognized Driftwood Library assistant Mark Irmscher and Michael Blakely, a senior Lincoln City police officer, for 10 years of service with the City.

Hawker informed the Council that the Oregon Employment Department has decided to maintain its Lincoln City office and extend the hours of the office. The Department had announced earlier this year that the office would be closed this month due to budget cuts.

The City has been offering the space for the office at City Hall rent-free.

“This is very good

news for our citizens,” said Hawker. “It is a valuable service to our employers and employees.”

Wooden vessel sails into history Faced with no other option, the Lincoln County Historical Society commissioned the Port of Toledo Boatyard to demolish the historic wooden charter vessel, Tradewinds Kingfisher.

The 50-foot National Historic Register vessel, long associated with Depoe Bay, was in an advanced stage of deterioration and posed a potential environmental hazard should it sink.

Prior to demolition, the exterior of the boat was scanned using 3D laser technology. The laser scan produced a very exact electronic record to be utilized by future researchers, model and boat builders.

During the demolition process, all salvageable parts were removed and added to the Historical Society’s collection to be used in exhibits. Its vintage 1950s engine and other parts were recycled. The salvage work was conducted

by Port of Toledo staff.

“They were very respectful of the boat’s history and carefully removed all that could be salvaged,” said Steve Wyatt, Historical Society director. “It had to be scuttled.”

The Tradewinds Kingfisher was built in 1941 by Westerlund Boat and Machine Works of Jantzen Beach. Just months after the Kingfisher’s owner and skipper, Stan Allyn (1913-1992). took possession of the Kingfisher, the U.S. entered World War II. Allyn offered his new boat up for wartime use. The Kingfisher served as a boarding and patrol craft from Astoria to Coos Bay on the lookout for a possible enemy invasion. At war’s end, the COURTESY PHOTO Kingfisher returned to Depoe Bay to The Kingfisher on patrol during World War II. serve as Allyn’s flagship charter boat.

Commercial crab season opens Dec. 16 in Oregon Fresh Dungeness crab is back on the menu for holiday feasts after fishery managers determined the fishery was ready to open Dec. 16 on the Oregon Coast.

The commercial Dungeness crab season on the Oregon Coast is scheduled to open Dec. 1 each year, but was delayed because crab on some parts of the Coast did not measure up during preseason testing. The testing measures the percentage of meat in the crab, by weight, and is used to ensure a highquality product for consumers. Delaying the season allowed the crab to fill with meat.

Coast-wide crab quality testing showed all areas now meet minimum test criteria.

Fishery managers from Oregon, Washington and California mutually decided to open commercial crabbing from the Oregon-California border to Klipsan Beach, Wash., on Dec. 16.

Commercial crabbers are allowed to set their gear three days before the season opens, so ocean watchers will see the lights of crab boats off most of the Coast as early as Dec. 13.

The “Heart of the Oregon Coast” is what it says on the “Now Entering Lincoln County” sign on our southern border. There is something about the listening to a heart, hearing a heartbeat that shows signs of life.

It is through the heart, that blood flows and life is seized. As I listen to the heart of Lincoln County, I hear the laughter of a little girl celebrating her birthday at Regatta Park with all her giggling friends.

I hear children singing in harmony preparing for Christmas at the Cultural Center.

I hear strangers working together to make a difference for the homeless.

I hear water splashing as a class follows their aerobics instructor desiring to live healthier today.

I hear the crying of a family mourning the loss of a husband and father to thousands of kids in Lincoln County.

I hear the honesty of a guy standing up in front of dozens of people sharing struggles with addiction and finding freedom.

Heart to Heart

- Rev. Kelli Westmark I hear the young veteran traumatized with nightmares of war.

I hear the calm voices of volunteers at the hospital offering hot coffee to anxiously awaiting friends and family.

I hear the ocean roaring with anticipation.

I hear pastors earnestly praying for you.

King David was called ‘a man after God’s own heart’ (Acts 13:22) in the Bible.

And yet, David had an affair, killed a man for it, and spent many years running from a guy who was trying to kill him.

What a mess. And yet, David was said to be following after the heartbeat of God. That’s a whole lot of forgiveness, grace, and redemption. And throughout the story of God, that is what I hear in the Bible: love, purpose, hope.

God says that he has a plan and a purpose for

your life (Proverbs 29:11).

And God’s thoughts toward you outnumber the grains of sand on the seashore (Psalm 139:17-18). While King David was seeking after the heart of God, God was seeking after him, desiring a relationship that was real and authentic. God heard David’s heart that was sometimes lonely, depressed and afraid. And they talked about that and it is available in the book of Psalms.

Maybe there is a side of your heart buried deep inside that is feeling hopeless and you’ve never shared that with someone. Maybe it’s time to reach out and find hope.

In honor of Billy Graham’s 95th birthday, a special program of hope will be on multiple television channels Dec. 7-10. Visit www.myhopewithbillygraham.org for show times or watch it online.

My personal favorite

is “Defining Moments.”

There is nothing that you’ve done that can’t be forgiven by God. There is always hope for you, that is that heartbeat of God. In the following months, this column, aptly named “Heart to Heart,” is a tool where you can find answers to your questions. If you have a question about God, life, death, the Bible or something on your heart, send an e-mail to knwestmark@ hotmail.com and I will respond to as many questions as I can.

As we live in a relatively small area, your name will not be published in reference to your question, although I will likely identify your town, for example, “Confused in Otis” or “Struggling in Lincoln City.” So, let me know what is on your heart. I might or might not have the answers to your questions, but I will listen and I want to hear from you.

Sheriff’s Tips Take precautions when contributing to charities

By Sheriff Dennis Dotson

When tragedy strikes, many people demonstrate their generosity and donate goods and cash to the victims of the tragedy.

That has occurred many times in Lincoln County.

While people are generally the focus of tragic events, our pets and livestock are also vulnerable to tragedy or misfortune.

Publicity involving events of injury, abuse, or neglect of animals always results in public outcry and outreach. People want to help and many give financial donations to help defray veterinarian costs, and to feed and care for the animals. Donation-cans appear, bank accounts are opened, and people give generously.

It is important that regardless of the cause, donors need to exercise some caution before

donating. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office has warned our citizens of many cons and scams over the years, many even involving law enforcement. To ensure your donation is: 1) used for its intended purpose(s); 2) is tax deductible; and 3) is handled by a reputable organization or business, your Sheriff’s Office recommends you research the sources you are donating to.

Your donation can be tax deductible if you give to a registered non-profit.

Any registered non-profit will have a Tax I.D. number which they will provide to you upon request (many publish them). This is what the I.R.S. requires in order for you to claim a deduction. If the organiza-

tion cannot produce a Tax ID number, they are not a registered nonprofit.

The 2013 Oregon Legislature passed a law requiring non-profits to expend at least 30 percent of the organization’s total annual functional expenses on program services averaged over the most recent three years. Failure to comply can result in the Oregon Department of Justice suspending the organization’s non-profit status. If this occurred, future contributions to that organization would no longer be tax deductible.

You can check the status of a nonprofit at www. guidestar.org. Guidestar gathers and publicizes information on more than 1.8 million nonprofit organizations. The basic

search is free. You will find report information from the IRS Business Master File and can confirm if that non-profit meets the new standard through their IRS Form 990, 990-EZ, or 990-PF. 2012 reports are just being added. You just need to perform a little math.

To ensure your money is being spent as you intended, ask the following: 1. Are donations going to the people or organization directly caring for the animals?

2. Are cash donations being credited to an account at a feed store, pet store, a veterinarian’s office, etc.

3. If credited to an account, are purchased materials and services used for only the rescued animals?

4. If cash is being turned over to individuals, is it going directly to benefit only the rescued animals? How is that verified?

5. If there are donation cans, is the person(s) retrieving the money a representative of the authorized non-profit?

Where is it going?

6. If a bank account is opened, what is being purchased with the funds?

It is always better to “help” via a reputable nonprofit or business that can dedicate funds for specific needs. Any good nonprofit will have checks and balances that will en-

New fishing rules for Cape Perpetua, Cascade Head marine reserves The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is reminding sport and commercial anglers that harvest restrictions at two marine reserve sites, Cape Perpetua and Cascade Head, will take effect Jan. 1.

The new rules prohibit harvest activities, such as fishing and crabbing, within the boundaries of the marine reserves, and are similar to harvest restrictions in effect at the Otter Rock and Redfish Rocks

marine reserve sites.

To help commercial fisherman plot the boundaries of all the marine reserve sites, ODFW and the Oregon State Police will distribute electronic thumb drives during this season’s crab hold inspections.

The thumb drives include the boundary coordinates for each site, as well as directions for installing the boundary coordinates on to a plotter.

Anglers can view and print a summary of the har-

vest rules, with maps and boundaries, for the marine reserve sites on the Oregon marine reserve website at www.oregonocean.info/ marinereserves/rules.

Similar information is available in the recently released 2014 Oregon Sport Fishing Regulations.

For more information about Oregon’s marine reserves and the related harvest restrictions, call ODFW’s Newport Office at 541-867-4741.

Ready to Rent Emergency crews work to put out a car fire in northeast Lincoln City.

Car fire sends plumes of smoke over northeast Lincoln City JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

People living in surrounding homes and businesses could see columns of black smoke rising above a northeast Lincoln City neighborhood Saturday morning, Dec. 7. The smoke and flames came from a vehicle fire at Quay and N.E. 29th streets about one block

east of Highway 101.

North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1 (NLFR) crews and Lincoln City Police arrived on the scene at about 10:15 a.m. to find the SUV fully engulfed in flames..

The fire was intense with flames on the ground and in the vehicle. NLFR crews quickly began spraying water on the fire and

worked to protect structures near the vehicle. The crews were able to put the blaze out in about 20 minutes.

There were no reports of injuries. Traffic was blocked for about 30 minutes while crews worked to put out the fire.

Investigators have not released the cause of the blaze.

The 1,885-square-foot Taco Time at 3350 N.E. Highway 101 in Lincoln City, which has been closed for the past couple of months, remains for lease at $26 per square foot, a representative of Commercial Realty Associates in Portland said.

She said her son has to be force-fed through a nose tube.

“He hasn’t really eaten since he was first diagnosed with cancer,” Christiansen said.

In November, the Make a Wish Foundation funded a trip to Disneyland for Daniel and his family. But since their return home, Daniel has had to undergo chemotherapy at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland. The doctors have told the family

Daniel’s prognosis is not positive. Despite the bleak future, the Christiansens remain hopeful.

“If the chemo at Doernbecher doesn’t work,”

said Stephanie,”we will go to Seattle to try and get experimental radiation treatment for Daniel.”

Stephanie and her husband, Duncan, are struggling with Daniel’s medical bills.

“We do have some government insurance because Duncan works at the post office, but it is not enough,” said Stephanie.

Tickets to the fundraiser for Daniel are being pre-sold for $10 for adults and $5 for children under 10. Tickets at the door will be $2 more.

Two presentations by the Oregon Department of Land Conservation and Development (DLCD), in cooperation with Lincoln County (and the City of Lincoln City in North County) will address the recent reforms to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

In July 2012, the U.S. Congress passed the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 (BW-12) which calls on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and other agencies, to make a number of changes to the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Some of these changes already have occurred, and others will be implemented in the coming months.

Lincoln County is beginning to see the impact of this new Federal legislation. Individuals with second homes, commercial buildings, residential

Jones said the snowfall measured three-quarters of an inch at 7:30 a.m. when he went on KCBH-AM (1400) for his radio weather forecast, but reached two inches by noon.

Lincoln City’s record snowfall is 10 inches in February 1989, Jones said.

The record for low temperature since Jones began recording the statistic in 1991 was set at 19.2 degrees last Sunday, Dec. 8.

The previous low was 19.6 in 1998.

outside the Taft station.

“That cascaded a lot of water,” said Kusz.

He said NLFR vehicles were chained up to negotiate the snow and ice.

A mailman spotted water coming from beneath a front door at an unoccupied home in the 1,400 block of S.E. 2nd Court and called police.

“We called public works

and a crew came out and shut off the water to the street for a time to stop the leak,” said Sgt. Jeffrey Winn.

“We took calls for the past several days about people having water issues.”

Winn said as the snow fell early Friday, drivers began experiencing difficulties.

“We had many vehicles slipping and sliding and getting stuck in the roadways that became

extremely icy,” said Winn.

“We didn’t have a spike in accidents, but there were several hilly areas along Highway 101 and several of the side streets that were very slick.”

As the snow began to pile up, some businesses and Lincoln City Hall, Driftwood Public Library and the Lincoln City Community Center closed early Friday. The adverse weather also slowed some city

and private businesses in Depoe Bay and Newport.

Rich Belloni, Lincoln County School District support services director, said administrators canceled school Friday and Monday as a precaution. Snow and ice prevented the school buses from running on Friday and side streets were the issue on Monday.

“We have about 43 to 45 bus routes and while the main roads were passable,

it was all the side roads that still had ice and snow,” said Belloni. “We don’t want to put buses with kids on them in harm’s way.”

Belloni said frozen pipes were also a concern at Toledo High School.

“We had a sprinkler head pop off, but we were able to clean up the water quickly,” he said. “The closure gave our crews time to go thought each build-

ing in the district to make certain all the heaters were working. We want to make sure all the buildings are warm.”

But for a few, the snow and ice were a welcome sight. Some took advantage of the weather and spent time snowboarding and sledding down the icy hills and streets in Lincoln City.

While Brown could call the warmth and solitude in the place of worship home for at least one night, he learned he might have a friend for life in new shelter director Dave Galati, a retired state transportation worker from Portland who seems vested in the welfare of not only the shelter, but the people who demand its services.

Galati has come to the rescue by overseeing an operation that didn’t have anyone in charge just a short while ago. Previous director Ken McCormack and other volunteers have been forced to step aside by advancing age and/or other commitments.

Rick was later adopted

by Duane Ticknor whom he called dad for life.

Rick is survived by his parents Duane and LaVonna Ticknor, Post Falls, Idaho; his son Dustin Ticknor and his wife Melody Ticknor The Dalles, Oregon; his brothers Rod (Kim) Ticknor Phoenix, Arizona and nephews Austin and Chandler; Robert (Marla) Ticknor Spokane Valley, Washington and nieces Gracie and Olivia; and Duane George Ticknor JR.

people in alternating sixhour shifts to oversee the needs of the homeless.

“I guess my biggest challenge right now is trying to develop a base,” he said. “Each day, I’m learning more about the community, and what a wonderful community it is when there’s a cry for help. Keeping this facility open is just way to valuable. I’d hate to see anybody trying to survive here at night with as cold as it is.”

That would be a record 19.2 degrees on Sunday, Dec. 8, just two days after 2½ inches of snow fell, shattering the December record for the city by a full two inches (see accompanying story).

“The last couple of nights have been great,” Galati said Saturday after entertaining six to eight needy people the previous evening. “We established some relationships

with some folks using the facility and had a chance to get to know them. Of course, everyone has a different story, but they’re all wonderful to meet.”

Like Brown, another man found the reopening of the shelter a welcome and wonderful sight. He hitched 100 miles down the Coast in search of a pillow and bed sheets.

“We had a two-hour roundtable conversation with everyone, including him,” Galati said. “They were all warm, well fed, and then they all went to sleep.”

While starting a storage area for donated items is planned, Galati said opening the lines of communication between the shelter and the public and getting the word out

each day the shelter will be open remains tantamount.

It plans to open when temperatures drop below freezing and on days when winds are severe.

Notification comes through the local media, police, social networks, notices posted on public buildings and word of mouth.

“I recently retired here,” Galati said, “but from what I can tell, the homeless situation in this area is probably the most critical issue we face.”

To donate or volunteer to assist the homeless, call the Congregational Church at 541-994-2378, McCormack at 503-3923717 or Galati at 503-9497074.

Obituaries 1/2/2001 - 11/28/2013 On November 28th we unexpectedly lost our dear Levi in death. Although our hearts are broken, our spirits are lifted by our fond memories of Levi and the love he showed for all of those whom he cared so much for.

Levi was raised in Lincoln City/ Otis and knew so many people in the area, especially his friends and relatives that attended the local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He always seemed to be ready with a beaming smile and a hug, being truly interested in the people he came to know and love. Levi enjoyed collecting Hot Wheels and building with Legos as well as riding his dirt bike.

Levi was very interested in the Bible and he spent much of his time along with his family studying and reading the scriptures.

Levi knew of the promises that the Bible holds out for those who have died. We as a family know that we will see Levi again, and it is this

Rick, a robust individual loved to bring a smile to the face of every person he met and for the most part, did. He embraced life with enthusiasm and vigor and would do anything for a friend or people in need.

Rick’s quick wit and joke a minute will be missed by all who knew him, especially family.

Classmates and the Ticknor family will hold a Celebration of Life for Rick at the Elks Lodge in Lincoln City Sunday December 15th from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. The family requests that memorial donations in memory of Rick be directed to Angels Anonymous C/O Roger Robertson 2617 NE Holmes Rd Lincoln City, Or 973674929.

Tigers face rebuilding year JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard

With just 13 swimmers, the water won’t lap over the pool gutters and onto the deck in practice this season with an overflow crowd of participants on the Taft High swim team. But longtime coach Lissa Parker hopes 10 underclassmen and a bevy of young swimmers on the brink of high school will make for a successful rebuilding season for the Tigers.

“We have a smaller team this year than I hoped for,” she said. “However, we have a nice contingent of eighthgraders and only one senior, so I expect we will be doing a rebuilding year, with more kids ready to go next year.”

Thirteen students came out for swimming this season, shifting the focus to individual growth and getting relay teams to the seasonending state competition at Mt. Hood Community College in Gresham, Parker said.

With breaststroke specialist Eli Shott the only senior, Parker will rely on other Lincoln City Swim Club members such as Shott, who also swims free, to help lead the Tigers to the final touch of the wall.

Among the top competitors in addition to Shott, Parker said, will be sophomore Madison Garding and freshman Lizeth Cortes among the girls, and sophomores Dylan Mickelson and Justin Delfin among the boys. The four swimmers

Swimming Preview

bring years of youth-group experience to the pool for the Tigers.

Garding, who competed in state last season as a freshman, excels in all strokes, particularly breaststroke, but is coming off an inactive summer.

Cortes, an age-group swimmer since 2006 who also has command of all four strokes, especially backstroke, is also committed to cheerleading.

Mickelson, another swimmer who can compete in all four disciplines but excels in freestyle and back, trained this summer on weights and running. Like Mickelson, Delfin, another well-rounded swimmer who specializes in the butterfly, participated in summer swim camp.

Also expected to contribute on the girls’ side are junior Joyce Campbell,

Tigers open season on high note JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Taft High, led by the leadership and court savvy of senior wing Taylor Adams, opened its 2013-14 girls basketball season Wednesday, Dec. 4, with a 42-29 nonconference home victory over Tillamook.

Adams scored a game-high 20 points and used inspired play to help lift the competitive level of her teammates in directing the Tigers past the Cheesemakers of the Class 4A Cowapa Conference.

“Taylor had an awesome performance and was such a great example of energy, hustle, and enthusiasm for our team in the second half,” Taft coach Dan Mock said.

Adams combined with several teammates to spark a 13-1 third-quarter run to build on an 18-13 halftime

cushion and take a 31-14 lead into the fourth quarter.

“We played really well as a team for our first time out there together this season, and I loved the chemistry I saw between our players,” Mock said.

Spreading praise throughout his lineup, Mock cited the point guard play of senior Nicole Vasquez and sophomore Kelsey Wilkinson, the rebounding of junior Katie McCardell and senior Keitra Mason, and the defensive prowess of junior Billy Ann Stempel.

“Not to be overlooked was the ability to overcome some early first-half foul trouble two of our starters found themselves in,” he said. “Ultimately, we did the things we needed to do to give ourselves a chance to win, and, thankfully, we did.”

Two Taft post players

were whistled twice for fouls in the first quarter and Vasquez also had to rest with fouls before Wilkinson stepped in and “did a nice job with no drop-off in play at all from that position,” Mock said.

“The girls were executing our plays the right way, communicating well throughout the game, and giving highfives to each other throughout the evening,” he said.

Mock said attention to fouls in order to avoid fatigue would be a focal point prior to the Tigers’ next game, Wednesday, Dec. 11, at Sweet Home (a game Friday, Dec. 6, at Astoria was postponed by weather).

“Those are things we need to address in practice and can clean up,” he said. “I felt that we were a bit sloppy and tentative on defense at times in the first half, but it fortunately didn’t hurt us too badly.”

“The kids played really hard and we got the year off to a good start,” first-year Taft coach Scott Henderson said of the victory over the Class 4A Braves of the Cowapa Conference. “We made some mistakes, but our hard work made up for it and it gave us a good idea on what we need to do to improve for the rest of the year.”

Henderson, a math teacher at the school, is coaching his first season following the resig-

nation last spring of Mark Williams.

“All kids had a good game and played hard. We are a team and enjoy working hard together and improving as a unit,” he said.

Taft was scheduled to open its home season Tuesday, Dec. 10, against Class 4A Sweet Home of the Sky-Em Conference (past deadline) and hosts Class 3A Sheridan of the West Valley League on Tuesday, Dec. 17.

“Outworking a team is a great start for us,” Henderson said. “Our goal is not wins and losses, it’s to outwork teams.

The wins and losses will take care of themselves.

“We have a long ways to go to get to the level we need to be at, but it was a good start.”

Thousands of lights make up the holiday display at the Dorchester House in Lincoln City.

Dorchester House lights up for the holiday JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

It is one of Lincoln County’s most colorful and bright holiday displays.

And, if you drive along Highway 101 through Lincoln City at night, you can’t miss the 30,000 lights shining bright at the Dorchester House.

The independent living retirement facility, located at 801 S.W. Highway 101, is decorated from top to bottom with Christmas lights and decorations.

“When it’s dark at night and you come around the bend on Highway 101, boom, you see all the lights. It is quite impressive,” said Jeff Echweiler,

Dorchester House executive director.

“The decorations really cheer up our residents because a lot of them don’t have any family. So, I think it lifts their spirits.”

Dorchester resident Del Hardison said before he moved to the facility he’d often drive by and would be encouraged by the bright holiday display.

“It gives us a little Christmas spirit,” he said.

Hardison helped Dorchester’s maintenance supervisor, Julio Reyes, set up the display.

Here’s to a drip-free year in 2014 Guest Column

by Niki Price

Season’s greetings from the Lincoln City Cultural Center! After the rough weather we’ve just been through, I’m inspired to offer an update on “the facility” that is the historic Delake School, where we make our home.

The central section of this 17,000-square-foot building was built in 1929, making our brick beauty one of the oldest structures in town. We all know that the word “historic” often translates to “old and in need of repair,” so, at the LCCC, we mix arts and culture with a healthy dose of maintenance and upgrades.

The most important, and public, capital project in 2013 was the replacement of the roof. As the water-stained ceiling tiles will attest, the old roof had been sprouting leaks for many years. We were having trouble finding their sources, and repairs were temporary and inadequate. In March, the LCCC board identified roof replacement as a top priority in our updated three-year strategic plan.

When local roofing companies came out to bid the job, we found that we could replace the leakiest peak (the west roof over the information center and Chessman Gallery) for around $23,000, or the entire roof for about $70,000. A new gutter system, which would complete the project, would add an additional $3,800.

We engaged a longtime partner, Rich Foster of Cascadia Consulting Partnership, to write grant proposals to two regional foundations.

At the same time, we began talks with our landlord, the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency, in the hope that the City might financially support the project as well. In June, the LCURA voted to extend our rent waiver for three more years, and to help the LCCC pay for necessary infrastructure improvements, like the roof.

What happened next can only be described as a win-win solution. Over the summer, we learned that the LCCC had been awarded two large grants for the roof project: $40,000 from Meyer Memorial Trust, and $25,000 from the Collins Foundation. We requested and received the remainder, $8,800, from the LCURA. The entire project was completed, using local contractors P&G Roofing and Robben Inc., by mid-October. In addition, P&G has donated five years of annual roof maintenance, so we can continue to offer our programs in a building that is warm and dry for many years to come.

To look at this another way: for an investment of $8,800, the taxpayers of Lincoln City received a $73,800 capital improvement to their publicly owned asset, the Delake School. And, for an investment of $4,000 (the amount we paid the grant writer who brought in $65,000), the Lincoln City Cultural Center received a dry place to do business, and freedom from years of roof repair bills.

This was certainly a best-case scenario, and we feel very fortunate to have accomplished the complete project in one year. But, lucky or not, this is a promising model of partnership and cooperation that can maintain this building as a community resource, and bring real benefits for the people of North Lincoln County.

There are other projects that have claimed our attention this year: the commercial kitchen upgrade, the parking lot fill, the electronic vehicle charging station, the sprinkler system repair and the ceramics studio drain, to name a few. And, as of Dec. 3, we have a brand new water heater -- thanks, Atlantis Plumbing! Coming up in 2014: new striping and design for the parking lot, the completion of the commercial kitchen and whatever surprises this old building will throw our way.

We thank the city, our great contractors and, most of all, our donors for making these improvements possible.

Here’s to a happy, healthy and drip-free year for us all.

Lights because it didn’t rain on us,” said Hardison.

Reyes says he sticks to a main holiday theme each year when stringing the lights and placing the other decorations. It’s a process that takes him about two weeks to complete.

“It’s a lot of work fixing the lights, laying the wiring and extension cords,” said Reyes. “I try to stick to the same theme because I know where everything goes and how to put it all together.”

The crew at Dorchester began the holiday display in 2003 and it’s gotten larger and larger each year.

Reyes said he lost count of the number of lights in the display when he reached 30,000.

OTIS CAFE

From our New York Times article, written in 1989, until today the Otis Cafe is famous for serving fresh, delicious homemade food. Our hash browns are made from hand-peeled, shredded potatoes and cooked to order. All of our breads and baked goods are made in our own “bake-room”. Meat, seafood and produce are delivered by Oregon-based businesses like our own. We have a long history of providing great meals to local residents and hungry travelers from all over the Northwest and around the world.

Our famous “Orginal German Potatoes” are hash browns topped with onions and smothered with white cheddar cheese.

We are proud of what we do and we’re confident you will know why meals at the Otis Cafe are “... worth the wait”!

Come and see us today: 1259 Salmon River Hwy, Otis 541-994-2813
