These consumers now have until 5 p.m. Dec. 27 to choose a health plan and notify Cover Oregon of their selections, under an agreement reached last week with insurance carriers.

The extension is in effect for people whose completed applications reached Cover Oregon by Dec. 4 or were postmarked by that day. Originally, these applicants had until Sunday to choose a plan.

Cover Oregon is encouraging people to use the online enrollment option after they receive notice of their eligibility and tax credits to help pay for health coverage. People who aren’t able to enroll online should work with a local insurance agent or a Cover Oregon community partner.

Fighting back: Community rallies behind young cancer victim JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard.com

Friends and family, concerned citizens, North Lincoln firefighters and Santa Claus gathered Saturday, Dec. 14, to contribute nearly $1,500 to the life-saving cause of 3-year-old cancer-stricken Otis resident Daniel Christiansen at a fundraiser at the Lincoln City Community Center.

However, the gift of money was just one thing contributed to the cause of helping save the life of the young toddler, who suffers from Stage 4 brain cancer.

Better yet, was the gift of hope.

“It’s really wonderful,” Daniel’s grandmother, Janet Herring, said after her grandson was blessed with the distinction of honorary firefighter and given a new red toy fire truck. “Cancer strikes families in so many ways. To see the community come together like this out of love and appreciation for a small child is just amazing.”

No one perhaps other

than Daniel himself will ever appreciate the warmth of giving expressed by the community more than his mother and father, Stephanie and Duncan.

“It’s amazing,” Stephanie said. “We’ve never asked for help so far with Daniel and we’ve made it day by day, but I’m just really thankful and emotional right now. I didn’t know that people were this generous.”

Saturday’s spaghetti dinner, sock hop and raffle was held to raise money to help pay medical expenses for Daniel, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2012 and suffered a reoccurrence this past August, when he had a tumor removed.

Force-fed through a nose tube and without hair but playful and with plenty of smiles and claps to go around, the Make a Wish Foundation funded a trip to Disneyland for young Daniel and his family. Since his return, Daniel has had to undergo chemotherapy at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland.

Doctors have told the family Daniel’s prognosis is not good. Despite the bleak future, the Christiansens remain hopeful chemotherapy treatments in Portland will help. If not, he will undergo radiation in Seattle.

A total of $1494.35 was raised during the fundraiser, which was organized by family friend Natasha Hall, a hotel administrative assistant at Chinook Winds Casino Resort, where Daniel’s grandfather. Steve Kirsh, works.

Hall said the family would like to thank all of the many businesses and individuals who contributed to making the day a success, which included a gift of a bicycle to the youngster by a fellow Chinook Winds employee, who had won the prize earlier in the event’s raffle.

New report illustrates increasing beach erosion MARK FLOYD Oregon State University

A new assessment of shoreline change along the Pacific Northwest Coast, from the late 1800s to today, has found that while the majority of beaches are stable or slightly adding sand, many Oregon beaches have experienced an increase in erosion.

In fact, Oregon State University researchers say Tillamook County is one of the worst areas for erosion.

Since the 1960s, the Neskowin “littoral cell” – a stretch of beach between rocky headlands and major inlets – between Cascade Head and Pacific City has averaged more than one meter of erosion annually over the past 50 years.

The risk of land loss here is significant from higher waves and rising sea levels, said Peter Ruggiero, an OSU coastal hazards specialist.

Along the coastline farther south, the impacts from these phenomena are partially countered by plate tectonics, said Ruggiero.

The assessment is part of a series led by the U.S. Geological Survey to study shoreline change in the nation’s coastal regions and monitor beach erosion and land loss.

“In a general sense, Oregon has faced much more erosion in the short term than has southwest Washington, which has

development of rip current embayments, it often results in hotspot erosion, which leads to the development of hazards when homes are placed too close to the beach,” he said. “The issue is further complicated because at Neskowin, they have lost very large volumes of sand over the past 15 years, bringing the hazard even closer to the homes.”

Ruggiero has been working with Tillamook County officials and the Neskowin Coastal Hazards Committee on a plan to cope with erosion and climate change impacts.

Cliff erosion at Gleneden Beach near Lincoln City. seen more accretion [sand added] as a result of sediments from the Columbia River and jetties at the mouth of the Columbia and at Gray’s Harbor,” said Ruggiero. “The Columbia has less of an influence on Oregon, and many of the state’s beaches have a relatively limited sediment supply.”

The lack of new sand has become a recent pattern among many beaches in Oregon – especially south of Tillamook Head – because rivers are not delivering significant amounts of sand.

Too, many estuaries trap the sediment before it reaches the ocean.

COURTESY PHOTO

Jonathan Allan, a researcher with the Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries and a coauthor of the report, said the Northwest coast has some “hot spots” where erosion has been significant and bluffs have failed, threatening houses.

“The beaches at Gleneden Beach and Neskowin, for example, contain coarse sand, which contrasts with the finer-grained beaches along much of the Oregon coast,” Allan said.

“These beaches tend to be steeper and reflective of breaking wave energy, which makes them more dynamic.

m Heat fixes continue at Taft Elementary School

The Oregon Employment Department is moving ahead with plans to keep its Lincoln City office open.

“We are currently in negotiations with Lincoln City,” said Tom Fuller, Oregon Employment Department communications director. “Though no final decisions have been made, we as an agency are optimistic that we can keep the space open, though we don’t know yet what the level of staffing with be. As we reassessed our original decision, the City provided us with additional information that, when taken into consideration, led us to the conclusion that the need in Lincoln City was great enough to warrant our continued presence.”

In a letter to Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson and Lincoln City City Manager David Hawker dated Dec. 9, Oregon Employment Department Area 3 Manager Tom Erhardt wrote: “I am pleased to tell you that the Oregon Employment Department has decided to maintain our presence in Lincoln City beyond Dec. 31. In fact, we plan to increase our service level beyond the current two-day per week schedule.”

Details of the service levels are still being developed, Erhardt said.

“Our facilities manager should have a list of space improvement options such as paint, lighting and carpet penciled out by the first week of January,” he said.

Erhardt said he hopes to meet with Hawker to discuss a new lease agreement with the City. No date for that meeting has been made public.

“It will be an easy negotiation,” said Hawker.

“The City will continue to offer space in Lincoln City City Hall rent free for the Employment Department office.”

Hawker said the City recognized the need to keep the local office open to serve local employers and people seeking work.

“We have stressed the need and the value of the office in Lincoln City,” said

Work to repair the heating system at the Taft Elementary School gym will continue after the 30-year old heater failed several weeks ago.

“The heater just quit,” said Rich Belloni, Lincoln County School District school support services director who had to order a new heater.

“That took about 10 weeks,” said Belloni. “They just aren’t on the shelf.

They have to be built and shipped.”

Once the heater arrived, crews cut a large hole in the back of the school building to bring it inside.

Crews are working to connect it to the heating system. Belloni said the heater in the library had to be disconnected while crews made the attachments for the new system.

“It’s been cold in the gym and the school library, but the option has been for students and staff to stay in the classrooms that are warm and have working heaters,” said Belloni.

Taft School Principal Chris Sullivan said four space heaters were placed in the library to help keep the room warm and limited physical education classes are being held in the gym.

Belloni said the school library heater was reconnected last Friday and is in operation, but it will be early January before the gym heater is running.

Belloni estimated the project would cost about $40,000. The District has contracted with Gates Heating and Sheet Metal of Lincoln City to help with the repairs.

Hawker. “We don’t want everyone running to Newport that needs assistance.

The City Hall location offers a centralized location with good bus service and you cant beat the price,” Hawker said it would likely be January before the Lincoln City City Council finalizes any agreement made with the Employment Department.

Early this year, the Oregon Employment Department announced it would close the Lincoln City office in October and consolidate resources to Newport as part of a cost-cutting effort. Following a discussion about the impact of the closure with Rep. David Gomberg, employment department officials announced the Lincoln City office would remain open through December while evaluating the future of the site.

Gomberg met again with Employment Depart-

ment officials in November to urge that the Lincoln City office remain open.

“Oregon is experiencing a slow climb out of recession, but we’re not on top of it yet,” said Gomberg.

“Now is not the time to be cutting resources to help our unemployed neighbors find work. The folks who need our help most can’t afford a 40-minute trip each way to Newport every week. The Lincoln City employment office is an important resource for North County residents trying to get back on their feet.”

The Lincoln City Oregon Employment Department office offers job seeker registration, skills assessment, job matching, and job search assistance.

In the 12 months ending Sept. 30, 2013, 192 individuals received in-person services at the Lincoln City office.

GUEST COLUMN

By Paco Maribona

The many delays, bottlenecks of Cover Oregon. Oregon’s insurance exchange implementing ACA (Affordable Care Act, aka ObamaCare) are amazing. Yet most Oregonians, well meaning Cover Oregon (CO) folks, the navigators and insurance agents working hard to implement it, including myself, want it to succeed. It’s the right thing to do for Oregonians, and is our shared responsibility to each other.

The ACA is a complex program, a public-private hybrid bringing together Medicare, Immigration.

Health & Human Services, IRS plus private sector companies Oracle, Insurers, providers, accountants, agents, etc. Responding to many delays in rolling out ACA website, and the public uproar, President Obama extended the national enrollment deadline to Dec. 23, asked Insurers to continue current health plans into 2014. Gov. Kitzhaber also asked Oregon Insurers to voluntarily extend plans ending this year into 2014, and all companies complied.

Yet CO shortened enrollments for Jan. 1, 2014, coverage from Dec 15-16 back to Dec. 4. They needed more time to process about 65,000 paper applications due to most people not being able to enroll online. Those whose applications were received or postmarked by Dec. 4, now have until Dec. 27 to tell CO their plan choice.

Last week they reported having completed enrolled only 730 people into private insurance, plus finding 9,949 eligible for OHP (OR Health Plan Medicaid) since Oct. 1.

About three months into 2013 Enrollment Season just under 1 percent of the goal to enroll 400,000 to 600,000 Oregonians have been enrolled into private insurance plans, and under 10 percent of that number had been found to be eligible for no cost, public OHP plans. Yet OHP itself has enrolled about 100,000 people eligible for food stamps etc, using a simple one- or two-page fast track form. Is there a lesson here?

The multi-step CO enrollment process is long and arduous, with delays in enrolling people, separately determining eligibility, choosing plans later, lastly making payments to private insurers, all before getting coverage.

Online glitches require a 19page paper application to qualify for tax credits; even those who may be eligible for OHP have to use it to determine financial eligibility (unless they get food stamps or were previously OHP approved). Those with incomes over 400 percent of FPL (Federal Poverty Level) in 2013 ($45,960 for one, or $62,040 for two), or those not wishing to apply for subsidies can use a shorter, fivepage form.

The applications, handling and processing could be simplified, with many more people enrolling faster.

People applying for health insurance now outside the exchange, use only one page to list household members, the same form to apply, choose the plan, and make arrangements to pay. In filing taxes, all people are listed on IRS form 1040A

or 1040 on 1-2 pages, possibly with attachments. It’s quite doable.

What can we do now? Cover Oregon is working 24/7, trying to catch up, but they may only be able to get to those already in the queue this year, and to others sometime next year. Meanwhile: 1) Keep your existing health insurance, if you have it, into 2014; 2) Those without insurance, or wanting options, contact an agent re temporary or permanent plans outside the exchange; 3). Continue to shop or try to enroll in Cover Oregon exchange, if you want, or qualify, regardless of shifting deadlines, through March 2014, when enrollment ends.

If you have Medicare or VA coverage, employer plans, or are on OHP, you don’t qualify or need Cover Oregon; so help keep congestion down. Medicare and these other plans are simpler than the CO plans, but CO’s what many Oregonians will have now, so let’s make it work.

New applications will be available for January to March 2014; hopefully CO will listen to Oregonians, simplify the process, enroll as many as possible. If, however, even a few Oregonians fail to get life saving treatments, or are forced into bankruptcies due to unpaid medical bills, as a result of more glitches, it will be too many. Success must be measured by the number of people successfully enrolled, not the opposite.

Run, Hide, Fight

By Sheriff Dennis Dotson

This past week marked the one-year anniversary of the tragic shootings at the Clackamas Town Center in Portland and at the Sandy Hook school in Connecticut.

The violence erupted in a fashion that we cannot comprehend and only a small segment of our population has ever experienced. While the discussion of why such events have occurred continues, it is important for citizens to know what to do should they find themselves in an active-shooter event.

A review of the shooting incidents over the last decade in this country revealed that a significant number of these events occurred in the workplace, more so than in schools or

other public places.

Many of these incidents were the result of the loss of significant relationships, changes in financial status, loss of a job, changes in living arrangements, major adverse changes to life circumstances, and/or feelings of humiliation or rejection on the Sheriff Dennis Dotson part of the shooter.

To increase your own safety you need to have a plan.

Should something occur in a business or public place remembering three words can make the difference in your survival — RUN, HIDE, FIGHT. If an active-shooter presents themself, a person should: • RUN, if that is pos-

sible.

• HIDE, if running is not possible. Workers should identify hiding places within their work environment. It could be as simple as hiding in a room or closet that is lockable from the inside and remaining quiet.

• FIGHT, if running or hiding are not possible.

Quickly developing a plan to attack the shooter should they enter the space where you are hiding. Using whatever devices are at your disposal, such as a fire extinguisher, chair, office equipment, or other article capable of temporarily stunning or otherwise disabling the shooter.

Remember — the shooter has already decided to kill people — you may literally have to fight for your life.

Workplace plans should be developed. Employees should practice using escape routes and hiding.

Employees should also identify what articles are

available to them that will make an effective weapon for defense. Your chances of survival increase if you are mentally prepared should you find yourself in an active-shooter event.

The City of Houston produced a brief video on this topic. There are also seven downloadable brochures from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the National Retail Federation containing information on how to react to an active-shooter event. The video link is on our home page and the brochures located via the “Links” button in the left column at www.lincolncountysheriff.net For more information and tips, visit our web site at www.lincolncountysheriff.net and on your Smartphone via the “MobilePatrol” app and Like us on Facebook at Lincoln County Sheriff ’s Office – Oregon.

Locals and others have the chance to put their stamp on the Lincoln City kite festivals for the year ahead. The Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau is seeking theme submissions for the 2014 kite festivals, which will be held in June and October.

To encourage submissions, the Bureau is running a contest through Dec. 31.

The entry with the winning submission will receive a Lincoln City prize package, including a signature glass float, kite festival memorabilia and recognition at the 2014 summer and fall kite festivals.

To enter, visit: www. oregoncoast.org/2014-kitefestival-theme There’s only one rule: The 2014 theme must begin with the letter “U.” Each year the Lincoln City Kite Festival theme has progressed through the letters of the alphabet. The theme from 2013 was “Tales of Tails,” honoring the life-size pod of gray whale kites that adorn the sky during the festivals, and 2012’s theme was “Stars and Stripes,” featuring red, white and blue kites of all shapes and sizes.

“We know there are some creative minds out there that can help us set the tone for the 2014

NW Shellfish ban faces Pacific Northwest China has suspended imports of shellfish from the West Coast, including Oregon, cutting off one of the biggest export markets for Northwest companies and prompting fears of a months-long shutdown, according to wire reports.

The Chinese government imposed the ban after discovering that recent shipments of geoduck clams from Northwest waters had high levels of arsenic and a toxin that causes paralytic shellfish poisoning, reports said.

The Chinese government said the ban will continue indefinitely. Clams, oysters and all other two-shelled bivalves harvested off Washington, Oregon, Alaska and Northern California are affected.

U.S. officials have said they think the contaminated clams came from Washington or Alaska but are waiting for more details from China to help identify the source.

fers a rear garage entrance to receive items,” said Roy. The Donation Drop Location initially plans to be open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from noon to 4 p.m. with possible adjustments based on volunteers to man the location and how many donations are received.

Due to space limitations and the minimal volunteer base there are certain items that will not be accepted.

These include: unlaundered clothing, bedding, linens, or draperies; used mattresses; hide-a-bed sofas; major appliances; CRT televisions or monitors; baby cribs, high chairs, car seats, or strollers; hazardous chemicals; any item that is in disrepair or could otherwise be deemed unsafe, unsanitary, or unusable.

“We ask that the community, which has been so very supportive and giving, to please honor the hours of operation and not leave items during off hours, and please be mindful of items

that we are not able to accept,” said Roy. “We want to be good neighbors to our community and good stewards to your generosity.

Many of the items we are unable to accept may be welcomed at other locations and organizations such as Habitat for Humanity’s Restore, North Lincoln

Sanitary’s Reuse Program, and other service organizations. ” Anyone interested in being a volunteer at the temporary Donation Drop Location is encouraged to email familypromiseoflincolncounty.org or call Linda Roy at 541-992-1682.

Family Promise of Lincoln County has opened a temporary donation drop location to begin collecting items that will eventually be sold in the Family Promise Thrift Store, when it opens.

“The support of this community has been tremendous for Family Promise and continues to be in relation to our plans to open a Thrift Store,” said Linda Roy, Family Promise interim director. “Once the word got out that a thrift store would be part of the Day Center plans, calls have been pouring in. Nonni Augustine, executive director of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, has also been fielding calls for months and we’ve had no means of collecting items until now.”

The temporary donation drop location is at 5030 S.E. Highway 101, previously the retail outlet of Calise Soapworks.

“There are so many great things about this space — it’s in a visible location so donors can easily find us, it’s near our Day Center/thrift store location so when we do open we’ll be able to transfer items easily, it will provide us with a space to begin sorting items in preparation of the transfer of items, and it of-

Surfers safe after Roads End water rescue Two surfers made it back to shore safely after battling a rip current Saturday,, Dec. 14, near Roads End, according to Lt. Dennis Knudson with North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1 (NLFR).

“We got the report of two surfers in trouble in a rip current near Roads End at about 1:30,” said Knudson. “A male on a surfboard was able to get out of the rip and make his way back to the beach. The other man on a boogie board was pulled out about 200 yards from the shore.”

A NLFR crew responded to the scene and was able to assist the boogie boarder back to shore.

“He was really scared and really tired,” said Knudson.

There have been several ocean rescues this year along the beaches at Lincoln City associated with the rip currents. Three people died this year in ocean mishaps in Lincoln City.

Knudson said even skilled swimmers need to pay attention to the rip current locations.

“If you get caught in a rip, swim sideways to get out and return to shore,” he said. “Most people that get caught in the rips, try to fight them and they get pulled out to sea very quickly.”

Beached vessel investigated The U.S. Coast Guard is investigating the cause of a fishing vessel that ran aground Dec. 14 south of Newport’s South Jetty. Thee

crew members reportedly escaped without serious injury in the mishap. The vessel, The Nat, was removed from the beach Dec. 16.

In addition, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) announced that members of the Oregon Medical Insurance Pool (OMIP) who have not yet enrolled in a different plan will be moved to a temporary insurance program that will allow them additional time to find new health care coverage. Information about the new Temporary Medical Insurance Pool that starts Jan. 1 is available at http://www.oregon. gov/oha/OPHP/TMIP/ Pages/default.aspx.

“It is important that members of the Oregon Medical Insurance Pool do not have a gap in coverage,” said Tina Edlund, acting director of the Oregon Health Authority.

“The planned meeting with neighbors is intended to open a dialogue about the future of 11 acres on Logan Road,” Catlin said. “The person responsible for the clear cut last year is no longer associated with the property.

It’s early in the design process and the owner would like some initial feedback.”

Representing the owner at the meeting will be David Reece, and Laurence Qamar from Laurence Qamar Architecture and Town Planning.

“They teamed up for Bella Beach and Olivia Beach, and they have worked independently on other projects in Lincoln City and the Central Oregon Coast,” said Catlin.

Catlin said a conceptual drawing of the development would be presented at the neighborhood meeting.

Debra Martzahn, Lincoln City Community Development Department senior planner, said the planning department staff had a preapplication meeting with the developers in September.

“They wanted to talk with us about what they wanted to do with the property and what City requirements they would face,” said Martzahn. “Everyone is upset that all the trees had been taken down. That would not have happened if the property had been in the City.

In fact, that will be a main issue for the developers, she said. The land would likely have to be annexed into the City for the project to continue. And there are other concerns.

NEED A LIFT?

little more time to communicate with people during a very confusing period.

Phone calls to Cover Oregon and OHA call centers have been increasing as people try to learn where they are in the system. Cover Oregon is increasing the outreach to everyone who has applied so they will know the status of their application.

OHA will also be doing special outreach to current OMIP members to let them know about the new temporary program. Outreach will include recorded calls, live calls, emails and letters.

The Cover Oregon open enrollment period extends through March 31, 2014.

See a Guest Column on Page A4 concerning Cover Oregon.

“The city has its water storage facility just north of there and we have to make sure if there were a leak there would be someplace for the water to go,” said Martzahn.

“The obvious route would be into the canyon.”

The City’s water storage tank at Logan Road has a capacity of 4.25 million gallons.

Martzahn said the City is also concerned about wetlands in the area.

“They will need to avoid the wetlands,” she said.

Martzahn said the City could offer incentives to the developers allowing a density bonus for affordable housing development.

The developers will need to submit an application for a planned unit development that would go before the Lincoln City Planning Commission and ask for extension of services outside the City limits or annexation in order to receive City water and sewer services.

Newport man indicted for kidnapping, attempted rape On Dec. 6, at approximately 4:45 p.m., Newport Police officers were dispatched to a kidnapping of a child. Officers were advised that an unknown male abducted a 7-yearold girl and took her into the bushes. The victim was recovered a short time later by her mother.

The police investigation revealed that a male suspect approached several young children playing in the snow at an apartment

complex at 110 N.E. 60th St. Police said the suspect singled out the victim.

When the victim walked away from the suspect, the suspect grabbed the victim under the arms, and ran into a nearby wooded area with her.

When the victim was taken, the children playing with the victim began yelling. The victim’s mother was alerted, and ran to where the suspect and victim were last seen.

The suspect then released the victim, ran from the bushes, and went north on Highway 101. The children continued yelling.

While on scene, investigating officers identified Jesse Greene, a resident of the area, as a person of interest. He matched the description of the suspect.

Officers executed a search warrant at Greene’s residence on Dec. 7. Officers located clothing and other evidence that linked

Police issue warning about Christmas crimes JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Lincoln City Police are urging shoppers to be alert to avoid becoming a crime victim this holiday season.

Criminal suspects often take advantage of the busy shopping times to target victims.

“In past years, we have had a spike in crimes and arrests during the holiday season,” said Sgt. Jeffrey Winn.

“We have had a few thefts from autos over the past few weeks, but we aren’t seeing a general burst of thefts.”

Winn said car break-ins are usually a crime of opportunity.

“The suspects will walk through shopping area parking lots looking for any thing of value inside vehicles,” said Winn. “They will also watch the parking lot for people coming out of stores, placing their packages inside the vehicle and going back into the stores.”

Frequently, people put packages in plain sight and forget to lock their vehicle, said Winn.

“It will take the suspects just a few seconds to break into the vehicle and get away

Police are urging shoppers to be alert during the busy holiday shopping season. with packages, wallets, laptops, anything of value,” said Winn. “Often, the suspects are looking for anything they can sell to help support their drug habit.”

Police are also investigating a series of vacation home break-ins.

“There are so many ways that the vacation homes are listed for rental and in several cases, signs are posted outside the home as a rental,” said Winn.

That gives the suspects a starting point. They’ll watch the homes to make sure no one is inside before targeting it.

Winn recommends that homeowners have deadbolt

locks on their doors, windows locked, a monitored alarm system, and to have neighbors keep an eye on the house.

Police have made arrests in the vacation rental breakins.

Winn said in both the shopping mall crimes and home break-ins, police depend on what witnesses might see to help prevent the crimes.

“We depend on folks calling us to alert us to suspicious people,” said Winn. “Once we get such a call, we can respond and check out the situation. Our crime prevention efforts are highly dependent on citizens.”

Search warrant leads to arrest A Lincoln City man faces drug charges following a search warrant and arrest at a residence on 28th Street.

On Dec. 5, the Lincoln Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT), along with members of the Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD), served a narcotics-related search warrant at a Lincoln City residence. The warrant was the result of a lengthy investigation conducted by the LINT team re-

garding the possession, manufacture and delivery of methamphetamine.

At about 3 p.m., LINT detectives and police executed the search warrant at a residence located at 1640 N.W. 28th St. in Lincoln City. During a search of the residence, detectives located a quantity of suspected methamphetamine and drug-use paraphernalia and various items used for trafficking narcotics.

During the warrant

execution, Andrew Ward Sakran, 44, of Lincoln City, was arrested.

Sakran was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail and charged with manufacture, delivery and possession of methamphetamine.

LINT is comprised of members of the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Lincoln City Police, Newport Police, Oregon State Police, and the Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office.

Plaque defendants enter guilty pleas JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard.com

Steven Sam Gilmore and Kristin M. Wilkinson pled guilty Dec. 11 of misdemeanor seconddegree criminal mischief and theft, respectively, in the stealing and destruction of a memorial plaque from the Taft High School football field grandstands.

Wilkinson was ordered by the Lincoln County Circuit Court to pay a $300 fine for stealing the plaque, and Gilmore $300 for shooting the plaque with a rifle in a local excavation yard. The two were also ordered to pay joint

restitution to the Lincoln County School District in the sum of $1,340.58 to replace the plaque.

The theft of the plaque, which commemorated those responsible for constructing a synthetic turf surface at Voris Field, caused a division of community members over the internal handling of the case last spring by former Taft High 7-12 Principal Scott Reed, who has since taken on an administrative position within the school district.

District Superintendent Tom Rinearson has denied that the principal’s internal handling of the alleged theft resulted in

his removal after five years as Taft principal.

Reed was cleared of allegations of improprieties made by the group following an investigation by an attorney hired by the Lincoln County School District. He found that allegations of misuse of funds and failure to divulge negative information during the interview process were unsubstantiated or unwarranted.

The concerned citizens group also urged prosecution of the alleged thief of the plaque, while Reed insisted on keeping to his word with the alleged perpetrator and handling the affair internally.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday Dec. 11 10:40 a.m. Sheriff’s Deputies responded to the report of a theft at 2371 Salmon River Hwy, in Otis.

Thursday Dec. 12 3:12 p.m. Sheriff’s Deputies responded to a domestic dispute at 4657 Salmon River Hwy in Otis.

ALZHEIMER’S & DEMENTIA CARE

JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD

Vicki Fry and her husband are a major part of the annual toy drive at the Elks Club, where she says “We’ll do the very best we can.”

Individualized program caters to each resident’s specific needs for a richer, more fulfilling life. Friendly, secure, 24-hour staffing, dedicated Memory Care Program, assistance with daily living.

Toys Falls in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ really has nothing over Lincoln City,” said NLFR Capt.

Jim Kusz. “The generosity I’ve seen over my nearly two decades here has been really, really amazing, and we do want to thank you.

However, with that being said, we are running a little short.”

Various business, civic leaders and local residents also find the shortcoming difficult to explain.

“We need to get the word out there more,” said Samantha Lyman of Pacific View Memorial Chapel.

“This is my first year here, so I’m not sure how to do that, but that’s where our motivation is.”

“I think there are a lot of people who aren’t working that used to work and a lot of people with two jobs down to one job,” said Anthony Herman of Columbia Bank.

“I think the slowdown in the economy continues to create challenges for people,” said Lincoln County Commissioner Doug Hunt.

“It’s been a slowdown that’s gone on longer than normal, and I think you see the effects of that on families throughout the county and the country.”

Last-minute efforts are on to produce an influx of toy, and food, giving in the coming week, organizers said.

“We will always make sure the kids get some toys,” McPherson said. “We have small toys, so no kid that applies will ever be denied a toy. But we’re looking for quality toys, one main gift, where the kid opens it up and his eyes brighten and it’s like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is what I’ve always wanted!’”

Toys ‘R’ Us in the Tanger Outlet Center is encouraging helpful buying in the coming days with an offer of 10 percent off any toy if you mention you are purchasing

it for the toy drive.

With the help of Pat Dean, manager of Les Schwab Tire Center, a leader in the effort the past several years, 340 turkeys were secured through donations and pledges made during a four-hour broadcast on KBCH-AM (1400) after a woman who donated 250 turkeys last year could not do so again this holiday season.

The Lincoln City Rotary Club, which has operated a high school scholarship program through wreath sales that has generated more than $500,000 over the past 30 years, sold $35,000 worth of wreaths, to brighten entryways, incoming President Bill Porter said.

Mo’s Restaurant, which pitched in on the toy-giving process behind the efforts of lead cook Lew Hartwell, tossed in $1,300 from cookie sales generated by a drive led by employee Patti Vickery.

At accountant Bryan Fitzsimmons’ Lincoln City office, workers Stephanie Franklin and Keri Uhls helped amass more toys than the company has collected in the past five years combined.

Still, the people who matter most in the drive, such as Elks Club member Jan Hall, who weeds through the hundreds of applications, can’t balance the demand to provide toys for 250 families in the north part of town or the 150 or so the Eagles will cover in the southern portion.

“I can’t keep up with them,” she said. “Every time I leave, there’s a stack. Typically, people will wait until after Thanksgiving to really hit it hard, but we haven’t had but eight bags of toys come in so far. I know they have some coming in today, and, hopefully, it’s a lot because we can’t even begin to fill the need.”

Asked what might happen if the shortage continues, Hall said, “Kids get no

toys, I don’t know. It’s never happened before. We have such a wonderful community, such a giving community. It is almost unbelievable things are where we are right now.”

Vicki Fry, who has been part of the Elks’ packaging effort of toys for the past 22 years, said the effort would intensify.

“We’ll do the very best we can,” she said. “We have to take whatever we can give them. It’s like what Santa Claus says to the kids; he can’t promise you everything, so we try to fill in the best way that we can.

I mean, there are families that don’t have a Christmas tree.”

Other parts of the community continue to press on as well.

Taft High 7-12 generated $500 and some 1,600 cans of food last year, but even its efforts have been sluggish this season in comparison, counselor Vicky Roller said.

“We’re going for a big push this week,” said Roller, who oversees competition among the various classes and the middle school students in its canned food drive.

The school’s biggest fundraiser, a community holiday dinner, was canceled because of the weather, she said.

McPherson said the greatest gratification for gift-givers is the reaction of the children.

“You see the toys, but you don’t see the faces, which is by far the biggest source of enjoyment,” he said. “It’s not just delivering food and toys, we’re delivering hope to these people.

They know that someone in their community cares enough to remember them.

“What we need is to get the people to understand that we still need those toys, and we need them desperately.”

Taft flexes muscles on mat Taft High wrestling coach Luke Hall doesn’t have to look far to see where his team’s best hope for the 2013-14 season resides. It’s the same face in the same place for the Tigers with the season opener set Saturday, Dec. 21, at Central Linn.

“Clearly, Seth is the centerpiece of our team,” Hall said of 160-pound senior Seth Steere, who is coming off a first-team, all-league performance as a wide receiver on the school’s football team to help lead the Tigers on the mat for the third straight season.

Coming off his second straight state wrestling appearance, Steere will try to make it three in a row for the Tigers, who are sparse in several weight divisions as the season opener looms.

“That’s a rare distinction for a Taft wrestler historically, so we’ve been pretty fortunate to have him leading the way the past three seasons,” Hall said. “Seth brings a leadership into the mat room, and he’s the kind of guy who inspires his teammates simply by doing what he does best — win matches.”

Steere will be afforded the luxury of facing a thinner wealth of competition this season at 160 with the graduation of several tough district opponents, including last year’s state and district champion, Tyler Cowger, of Sweet Home.

“That affords us an opportunity to set the standard in the district,” Hall said. “ I’m hoping Seth can really have fun this season and wrestle loose.”

He’ll probably need to if the Tigers are to have much impact on the scoreboard. As in past seasons, Taft will be short on suiting up wrestlers in

several divisions.

“It’s a recurring theme, but our numbers are still our biggest obstacle to overcome,” Hall said. “We haven’t had a team that’s able to fill out a varsity lineup for several seasons now, and this doesn’t look like the squad that will buck that trend. The good news is that the future has some rays of light.”

One is the team’s reinitiated mat club, which has been up and running for a full season with good participation, Hall said. In addition, there are a handful of middle-school wrestlers on the school’s first middle-school team.

“Hopefully, we can retain these younger kids in the sport and add to their ranks as they get older,” Hall said.

While Steere commands respect in the middle weight classifications, three other returning wrestlers should also score well.

Like Steere, junior Joe Salsbery at 138 is a state-caliber wrestler who Hall fully expects to represent the Tigers at state.

“He’s grown some this year [up a couple of weight classes from 126], but Joe’s one of those guys that is competitive because of his technique and that’ll translate to any weight class,” Hall said. “He’s working hard in the mat room and spending a lot of time wrestling some of our bigger vets, so the increase in opponent strength is something he’s accommodating for, too.”

Senior Kevin Kovachevich at 170 is on the cusp of being a factor in the state tournament, Hall said.

“And judging by his early work, he’s ready to make the leap,” he said. “Kevin has your classic wrestler body style.

He’s low to the ground with a ton of strength to spare. His challenge has been all about

Taft’s Seth Steere, shown working out with fellow senior Kevin Kovachevich, will be the undeniable leader of the Taft High wrestling team this season. positioning and hips, but as Kevin starts to feel those things out a bit and combine it with his natural strength and aggression, he’s turning into a force.”

Sophomore Michael Parker at 181 also returns to the Tigers after surviving some first-year growing pains.

“The freshman year is normally a battle, and Michael endured it as well as can be expected,” Hall said. “By the end of the year, he’d strung together a handful of wins and positioned himself to build on that this year. As he learns to have a bit more of a mean streak and trust his own moves, Michael will grow into our next prominent wrestler.

I’m looking for him to make a big step forward this year.”

New to the mat for Taft will be freshman Cameron Poulin at 106, a product of the recently rejuvenated mat club.

“He represents what I hope will be a continuing trend of freshman wrestlers who join our squad with some prior mat time,” Hall said. “That will work out to be a huge advantage for him.

“He’s also got the distinction of being at what is traditionally the thinnest weight class, which will help ease his transition to the high school level. He’ll see plenty of fellow freshmen this season and he’ll have the opportunity to establish himself for a quality wrestling career at Taft.”

Two other newcomers who played football in the fall include freshmen Nakoma

Newman and Chrishtian Stockton.

“I expect this combination to be mutually beneficial for these guys as the skills they acquire from each respective sport will translate well into the other,” Hall said.

Newman, at 220 pounds, comes to the team with some prior experience.

“He’s a legitimate 220-pounder as a freshman, and those are rare,” Hall said.

“He has a strength and a confidence that are beyond his years.”

“Chrishtian, meanwhile, has impressed me with his

Three Taft swimmers win two events JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard.com

Lizeth Cortes, Madison Garding and Eli Shott won two races each Tuesday in the Taft High swim team’s season opener at Newport.

Cortes won the 100-yard backstroke and 200-yard individual medley, Garding the 100 breaststroke and 200 free, and Shott the 50 free and 100 breast.

The Taft boys placed behind Newport, 169-76, while the Cubs defeated the Tigers 102-68 in the girls’ competition.

Fellow Class 4A Oregon West Conference members Central and Philomath did not compete due to the weather.

“We had some good individual swims and did well with 10 kids compared to Newport’s 24,” Taft coach Lissa Parker said. “Both girls and boys were at 50 percent less compared to Newport, so we could have scored many more points if we had more swimmers.”

A small team of 13 members, including just four girls in a program that has showcased its girls squad for many seasons, competed for the Tigers. The shortage of female participants proved especially damaging to Taft’s chances in the relays, Parker said.

“Some races were very close and exciting, like Liz in the 100 back,” Parker said. “Eli had a great 50 free. Madison also won her events.”

Sophomores Justin Delfin, Dylan Mickelson, Shawna Harskjold and Makayla Martin had second-place finishes for the Tigers.

Parker also cited freshman Charles Sims for continuing to drop times in his events.

“We’re just getting going with training and due to missed practices, too, I’m not expecting fast time drops yet,” Parker said.

Meanwhile, seven teams participated Friday, Dec. 13, at a meet hosted by Scappoose in the pool at St, Helens, where several swimmers continued to show improvement as Taft placed fourth in both the girls and boys competitions.

“They gained more confidence and built on some experience,” Parker said.

“Scoring was very close and we did well with the smallest team there except for one swimmer for Banks. It was a long ride, but worth the trip, and the swimmers are begin-

ning to get a feel for what it takes to be successful.”

Taft had been scheduled to open its season Saturday,

Dec. 7, at Tillamook but that meet was canceled due to snow and road conditions.

The Tigers are sched-

uled to compete Friday, Dec. 20, at Newport.

dedication and work ethic.

I can already see him as a guy who’s just going to keep plugging away on the mat. I’m excited to have him around for four years.”

Like Newman and Stockton, Zach Lutz at 285 joins the Tigers after gaining some experience with the physicality of football.

“But, unlike those guys, he’s already a junior,” Hall said. “As much as I would have loved to have had him the past two seasons, it’s better late than never.

“He may be the rare type of athlete who can jump on to the mat without any previous wrestling experience and have some success. He’s a big body who has a good, solid base. I know from experience that he’s a tough guy to move around, and he doesn’t mind digging his head in and making you earn anything you try to do.”

While Taft is skimpy in numbers, it does have some experience to turn to in Steere, Salsbery and Kovachevich.

“As far as strengths go, we do have some quality veteran leadership,” Hall said. “Seth, Joe and Kevin give us a really solid base of accomplished wrestlers who know what to expect and how to get there.

The freshmen and newcomers would be wise to follow their lead.”

Along Garden Paths

By Karen Brown

Much to do to brighten winter In the dull, gray days of winter, and especially after a deep freeze like we just enjoyed, it might be a little discouraging to think about gardening. Don’t fret, though, because there are things of beauty to enjoy, even during the shortest days.

Don’t overlook the cheerful green and growing energy of indoor plants, which might have slowed down, but usually do not go dormant, even in winter.

Or perhaps add holiday plants to your indoor landscape. You can easily find inexpensive choices now.

Poinsettias are classic, with bright red blooms, or perhaps pink, white or gently mottled or striped colors to fit any decor.

Given a cool spot with bright light, they will last well into the New Year, perhaps even for Valentine fun. Water sparingly, and never allow pots to sit in water.

This means poking holes in the bottom of that pretty foil paper and setting the plant in a saucer to protect your surfaces. After the colorful bracts fade and petals drop, you have a choice of either discarding the plant (most practical!) or continuing to enjoy the greenery. It is very difficult to cause these plants to re-bloom indoors.

Zygocactus, aka Christmas cactus, are a longer-living winter blooming choice. In fact, they often live so long, they begin to be thought of as family members, sometimes into grandmother generations.

Like most cactus, they prefer a slightly cool spot, full light, and somewhat stingy watering, although not the gritty hot dry conditions of desert cacti. A dryer and cooler spell in the fall will bring on heavy blooming, and sometimes you’ll see a few blooms at other times of year.

A little fertilizer in their water helps keep the foliage healthy and bright.

Amaryllis, to grow from fat bulbs, is a do-it-yourself color spot that also make a nice gift for a plant lover. These bulbs are dormant when you buy them. Choose bulbs that do not show growth yet, because boxed as they usually are, any premature growth will be distorted and possibly damaged. Most come with some potting soil medium and a six-inch pot. The roots like to be crowded, so the pot is going to look extremely small for such a big bulb, but it works just fine.

Pot the bulb with about 1/3 of the top exposed to the air, unlike any other sort of bulbs you have planted, and water just to moisten the soil clear through. This is another plant that should never be left in standing water, so be observant when you water and always dump the extra. You can put the new plant in a cool place for a couple of weeks to allow it to wake up gradually, then move to a spot of honor when the bloom stalk starts to grow almost fast enough to observe.

Use a stake or two to guide its preferably upright growth and help support the weight of the giant blooms if needed.

Some of our more conventional houseplants also bloom either year around or at least sometimes in the winter.

African violets take brief resting periods several times during the year, then reward you with a new bouquet at almost any time.

A moth orchid (phalaenopsis) has been in bloom in my house for the last several months and looks as if it will last right on through Christmas.

This is probably the easiest of all orchids to grow. It sits near my south window, a little further away during summer, and gets watered once a week.

I use a pot with slits in the sides to give the roots plenty of air, and a commercial orchid bark planting medium. Add a little liquid fertilizer to the water every couple of weeks and dunk the pot to the rim then drain thoroughly. Don’t be the least bit afraid of orchids if you should be lucky enough to have one of these.

Dress your house with evergreen twigs, holly and cones for a holiday theme, enjoy your indoor plants, and sit back and read all those wonderful garden books you never seem to have time for. You’ll hardly miss the warmer months at all! Happy Holidays!

“It’s just the look when you see the kids come through, even the parents, when you see their faces light up, makes it worth it, you know?” Prewitt said. “It’s just something we do.”

What Prewitt does, almost entirely on his own, is play Santa by graciously practicing an unique form of giving that helps the entire community get into the JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD holiday spirit.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING DATES Proposed Vacation Rental Dwelling Amendments The Planning and C o m m u n i t y D e v e l o p m e n t Department has scheduled public hearings on the amendments described below. The initiator of the proposed amendments is the City of Lincoln City.

The proposal includes amendments to the Lincoln City Comprehensive Plan text and map, the Lincoln City Zoning Map, and Title 17, Zoning, of the Lincoln City Municipal Code, regarding Vacation Rental Dwellings.

A summary of the proposed amendments follows below: ZOA 201305: The proposed land use ordinance amends Title 17, Zoning, by removing the land use regulations governing vacation rental dwellings [LCMC 17.80.050] and a new non-land use ordinance adds these non-discretionary, non-land use regulations to Title 5, Business Taxes, Licenses and Regulations.

The added regulations include new health and safety standards, including maximum occupancy and structural safety. These two ordinance amendments complement the previously processed ordinance imposing “Yes” and “No” VRD overlay zones, described under “Related Ordinance” below.

ALT 1 & ALT 2: City Council initiated two alternate VRD ordinances. ALT 1 allows for interim VRD use in a residential zone (90 days per year/ up to 5 years) via the conditional use process and creates (but does not impose) two new “overlay zones”: Exclusive Residential Overlay Zone (prohibits VRDs) and Vacation Residential Overlay Zone (permits VRDs).

ALT 2 would revise Title 5 (non-land use) to recognize that there are three VRD licenses: (1) Commercial - unrestricted for commercial zones; (2) Accessory Use - restricted to 30 VRD rental days per year for residential zones; and (3) Special - restricted based on conditional use, overlay or other approval terms. Further, ALT 1 mandates enforcement of the existing incidental and subordinate Accessory Use limitation on VRDs in residential zones. VRDs in residential zones are prohibited from engaging in commercial use, defined as more than 30 rental days per year.

The ordinance sets out criminal penalties for unauthorized VRD operation and for unlawful commercial operation. Revocation is triggered by unlawful commercial use.

Related Ordinance ZOA 2013-01 and CPA 2013-01: PLEASE NOTE: The city held public hearings for this proposed ordinance earlier in 2013, and closed the record on July 16, 2013. The City

999

Public Notices Council has continued the matter for deliberation only, scheduled for Monday, February 10, 2014 at 6:00 PM. The proposed ordinance amends the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Map to include specific geographic areas as vacation rental dwelling “yes” and “no” zones, and amends the Comprehensive Plan text to include a new development category: the “Vacation Rental Overlay Zone”.

The ordinance adopts a new overlay zone within Title 17 that proposes eligible and ineligible areas for vacation rental dwellings, and addresses lawfully established, pre-existing vacation rental dwellings in areas adopted as “No” zones.

Public Hearings The following dates and times are scheduled for public hearings to consider the above amendments.

Lincoln City Planning C o m m i s s i o n : Tuesday, January 7, 2014, at 6:00 PM Lincoln City City Council: Monday, February 10, 2014, at 6:00 PM All public hearings will be held in the Council Chambers at the Lincoln Square Civic Center Complex, 801 SW Highway 101, Lincoln City, Oregon.

(The Planning Commission and City Council may continue hearings to subsequent dates and times, as necessary to complete review of the proposed amendments.)

Any person who may be affected by the proposed regulations is welcome to attend and participate in the hearing and present written and/or oral testimony concerning the proposed amendments.

The Planning Commission and City Council will evaluate the proposed amendments using criteria in Chapter 17.88 of the Lincoln City Municipal Code.

Only persons who have presented written and/or oral testimony at the hearings before the City may appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA).

Failure to raise an issue at the public hearings, in person or by letter, or the failure to provide sufficient specificity to allow the City Council an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes an appeal to the LUBA on that issue.

Mail letters to: Lincoln City Planning Department, Attention VRD Amendments, PO Box 50, Lincoln City, OR 97367. E-mail letters to: mailto:planning@lincolncity.org .
