Taft High 7-12 student Alexa Taunton spoke for fellow seniors last week when she acknowledged the importance of having an organized opportunity to plan for her education after high school.

“This event guides us to what we need to do to benefit our future,” said Taunton, one of 96 seniors who took advantage of Oregon College Application Week to complete and file entrance papers. “It’s a huge help for us seniors, especially true for the seniors whose parents did not go to college.”

One of just seven pilot schools in Oregon to be selected to host College Application Week, Taft students gathered with teachers, mentors and counselors in beginning preparations for their continuing education on Monday, Dec. 10.

County tackling homelessness Financing for new plan a concern Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

Lincoln County Commissioners are moving forward with a plan to deal with the homeless. The plan, called “At Home in Lincoln County 2.0,” is a multiple service 10year effort coordinating social service agencies. It will be formally launched Dec. 21 during a series of events to mark Lincoln County community’s renewed commitment to ending home-

lessness.

Commissioner Bill Hall said the plan defines, as best as possible, whom the homeless are in Lincoln County, but it also reflects that many homeless fall through the cracks by accident or by their design.

According to Hall, even federal agencies don’t have a common definition of homelessness.

“For instance, HUD says you’re homeless only if you’re sleeping in the

hardest part so far has been training at the Police Academy.”

Lincoln City Lt. Jerry Palmer said in today’s environment, law enforcement has become complicated and new officers like Duncan must learn state laws, city ordinances, how to deal with mental health patients, how to effectively handle domestic violence issues and to deal with classic traffic stops.

“Our job is to teach her how to do all these things in a professional way to keep herself and the public safe and avoid the pitfalls and legal ramifications of doing it wrong,” said Palmer.

He added that Duncan will have the benefit of

If you use the Lincoln City Community Center, brace for new fees for services provided.

Gail Kimberling, the Center director, is expected to present a resolution to the Lincoln City Council in January that would impose a 10 percent across the board fee increase effective March 1, 2013.

Kimberling said the fee adjustment is needed to continue current services. This fee increase follows a rate adjustment made in March ranging from 3 to 12 percent in an attempt to equalize the rate structure and provide uniformity for the customers and staff. It was the first major rate adjustment since the facility’s expansion in 2005.

“We are still hearing from disgruntled customers following the fee increase we imposed last spring,” said Kimberling. “I understand that times are hard for everybody.”

The 10 percent proposed rate boost would mean a 25-cent increase for drop-in youth users and a $5 to $15 membership fee increase depending on the length of the youth membership.

Adult clients would be charged 25 cents more for each drop-in visit or anywhere from $6 to $24 depending on the length of membership.

Seniors would also face the 25 cent drop-in fee increase and anywhere from $5 to $19 more depending on their membership.

In October, Kimberling recommended that the city council wait until March 2013 to make the rate adjustment based on negative customer feedback and anxiety over the local economy and the upcoming presidential election.

On Dec. 10, Kimberling presented her proposal for the March 2013 rate hike telling the city council that while existing customers remain displeased with the new rates, newcomers see the Center as a bargain. “Compared to 2011, membership renewals have declined 38 percent while new sales have increased by 85 percent,” said Kimberling.

Lincoln City gets a new police officer Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

For Courtney Duncan, deciding to be a police officer was not a difficult choice.

“My family is in the military and I have always strived to live on the tradition,” said the 27-year old just after being sworn in as Lincoln City’s newest police officer Dec. 17.

Duncan is from California and grew up coming to Lincoln City on family vacations.

“I fell in love with this area when I was a child,” said Duncan.

She hopes to be a part of the community, serve as a leader and to “make every day count.”

qualify as homeless.”

Hall said the homeless in Lincoln County encompass a wide range of causes and a wide range of people.

“For most families that are homeless, poverty, lack of affordable housing and lack of living wage jobs are the primary causes,” said Hall. “For single adults, mental illness, addictions and a criminal history are some of the main drivers.

Other factors contributing to homelessness include physical illness/disability and domestic violence.”

“But he described the scene as surreal and said people were running every which way,” said Peters.

“Some yelled that a man was in the mall shooting people.”

Peters himself witnessed several police cars from surrounding communities pass him on the roadway apparently heading to the Clackamas Town Center as the event unfolded.

“I didn’t know where they were going until after my son called to tell me of the shooting,” he said.

Peters is thankful that his son and companion were able to escape without incident, but saddened about the event.

Three people died during the shooting including Jacob Tyler Roberts, 22, the man police said was the shooter.

Authorities said Roberts killed himself.

The pastor of the Pacific Baptist Church in Cutler City said his son was inside Clackamas Town Center in Portland when a man carrying an AR-15 assault rifle and wearing a hockey mask entered the mall and began shooting customers and employees Dec. 11.

“My son was eating at a restaurant with his girlfriend when they saw several people running to the exits of the mall,” said John Peters, who was driving through Oregon City on the way to pick up his son. “He called me from his cell phone and told me that I could not meet him at the mall because of the shooting.”

Peters said his son, 19, and his companion were able to leave the restaurant and the mall without

About 25 people gathered at the D-River Wayside the night of Dec. 16 for a candle vigil in support of the families that lost loved ones in the Newtown, Connecticut school shooting. One woman said they felt powerless and wanted to show their support and pray for the families. “We all wish there was a way to stop such violence,” said another woman at the vigil with her small children.

LCSD responds to shooting tragedy JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Alerted by last week’s shooting death of 26 grade school students and teachers in Connecticut, the Lincoln County School District has responded with reassurances that measures are in place and it is working diligently to ensure students’ safety. “[LCSD] is saddened by the horrible tragedy which occurred this morning when a gunman opened fire at a Connecticut elementary school, killing a number of students and staff,” the District said in a news release.

“This unthinkable event might raise questions about safety in our own schools, “We want our families to know that we take safety seriously and have several preventative measures in

place in our schools on a regular basis as we work to provide for the safety of our students and staff.”

The district outlined the aforementioned safety steps as: • A comprehensive emergency plan that was developed in conjunction with local emergency response agencies; • Training each school year of staff members and substitute teachers on emergency procedures;.

• Monthly safety drills such as fire, lockdown, earthquake, etc., including at least three lockdown drills each year (every school has done at least one lockdown drill this year); • Electronic lock access control.

LCSD officials urged the following be done in helping to ensure students’ safety:

“At the same time the Center’s revenue has increased 4 percent over 2011.”

Following the rate boost in March, Center officials noticed revenues were declining significantly.

“We noticed that members and drop-in clients weren’t coming through the doors between 8-9 p.m., and revenue dropped significantly, probably 80 percent,” said Kimberling. “So in an attempt to reduce expenses we began closing at 8 p.m., but it turned out the people that were already here wanted to stay longer.”

The Center staff scrambled to provide game space and practice time for teams and individual gymnasium users.

“We were offering fewer hours each week in the gym, and on the aquatic side we had to compress the time there,” said Kimberling. “The teams are now overlapping use in the six lane pool. We need to spread out the services between all the users.”

The fee increase proposal also includes expanding the Center’s open time by one hour in the evenings.

In 2005 the Lincoln City Community Center was remodeled and additions were made to meet public use requirements. A new fee structure was also estab-

Families and individuals come together to celebrate the holiday with Santa for the kids, Christmas music and dinner with all the trimmings.

“Whether you are among those who help with the dinner, or those that enjoy the meal, it’s a meaningful time for all,” said Hatton.

Sponsors of this year’s dinner are Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Lincoln City Community Center and North Lincoln Sanitary Service.

Up to that point our fees had not undergone a significant adjustment,” said Kimberling. “We were way behind with the economy and the cost of doing business.”

Kimberling said the Center’s fees today are still about 50 percent on average less than other such facilities across the state.

By selling more memberships and providing more programs and classes, Kimberling hopes the Center will reach its goal of becoming self-sufficient “We do have a marketing plan and member services specialist on site,” she said.

“We are focusing our efforts toward visitors to the area letting them know they can use services here.”

The Center is reaching out to the local lodging industry and working with the Lincoln City Visitors and Convention Bureau on promotions and emails that are sent out to help promote the Center.

“Our ultimate goal is to reduce reliance on the city budget by increasing revenue and watching expenses,” said Kimberling.

Kimberling said the Center will also provide plenty of notice to customers about the pending fee adjustments.

Winds, rains challenge locals

By Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

Pacific Power customers were without electricity in Lincoln, Clatsop, Coos, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Linn and Polk counties.

But the storm could have been much worse locally, according to Liana Ramirez, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Portland.

With this storm, the models were showing it would be pretty significant with wind gusts up to 100 mph, but when the system hit land it proved not to be as intense as the models had shown,” said Ramirez.

While motorists should be prepared for snow in the Coast and Cascade ranges this week, Ramirez doesn’t expect any major accumulations

Wind gusts as high as 81 mph struck Lincoln County during an intense storm that spread high winds and heavy rain inland to the Willamette Valley and blizzard conditions for the Oregon Cascades Dec. 16.

Pacific Power reported 2,000 customers were without electricity for a time Sunday night and Monday following the storm.

“We had limbs down on power lines that results in an outage that affected mainly the Devils Lake area,” said Bob Gravely, Pacific Power spokesman.

At the peak of the outages approximately 7,613

“We aren’t expecting any snow along the coast,” she said. “The ocean helps keep the coast temperatures more moderate, in the forties. Some showers may be strong enough to pull colder air from a loft that could create snow mixed with rain along the coastline. That’s only possible with stronger showers.”

For the next several days, Ramirez forecasts winds typical for this time of the year for Lincoln City with gusts 35 to 40 mph.

“Higher gusts are possible and more likely to happen during heavy showers and heavy showers are possible in some locations,” Ramirez said.

building on the experiences of the Lincoln City Police officers that she will work with and the “well-laid out” training program from the state and the Lincoln City Police Department.

“That gives her the opportunity to weave the best part of the training into her way of carrying out her duties,” Palmer said.

The new police officer position opened after two sergeants left the department over the past year.

Palmer’s advice to Duncan is to stay grounded.

“I will tell her not to let the job become who she is, but keep strong outside connections to keep mentally strong,” said Palmer.

Being a police officer is one of the most stressful jobs there is, according to Palmer.

“Unfortunately, we have high rates of divorce and a high suicide rate among police officers across the nation,” he said. “The ones that survive are the ones that keep strong family and strong outside connections that give them a perspective of being more than just a police officer.”

Duncan will spend the next few months in field training and is expected to be on patrol duty by summertime.

The base pay salary for the police officer position is $21.94 per hour. Duncan also qualifies for full benefits.

Making an impact for the health of our community

to provide dental care

Every six weeks, Michael Harris, DMD, leaves his home in Yamhill County and drives to Lincoln County, alternating between Lincoln City and Newport, where he spends a full day in a specially equipped dental van, providing free care to low-income and uninsured adults.

“We arrive at eight in the morning, and we just keep working until everyone who comes has been seen and cared for,” Harris says. “And we don’t just pull teeth. We also do a lot of restorative and preventive care.”

The Lincoln County dental van program is a collaborative effort between Samaritan Health Service’s Community Healthy Improvement Partnership (CHIP) program and local community sponsors and organizations. The program engages dentists like Harris and provides them with a fully equipped dental office in a van from Medical Teams International, allowing the dentists to come to locations that are convenient for patients.

During the last 12 months, 230 Lincoln County uninsured adults received free dental care through this program.

“This is an opportunity to help people who otherwise don’t have any other access to care,” Harris says. “It’s incredibly rewarding to be a part of the project, because dental health impacts a person’s overall health.”

Increasing access to dental care is a community health priority supported by Samaritan Health Services through its Community Health Promotion Program, which includes efforts such as CHIP, as well as cash grants made to other local health-focused agencies.

Culture is everywhere in Lincoln County

By Meryl Lipman

Culture is visible across the Central Oregon Coast.

It is present in the stories and customs of the Siletz Tribe, in the Lincoln City Cultural Center’s studios and performance spaces. It is in the retreat-like setting of the Sitka Center for Art & Ecology by Cascade Head. It is in the energy of students working with Let There Be Arts. It is how people see themselves as individuals – and as people living by the sea.

The Oregon Cultural Trust, our state’s cultural champion, sustains the arts, heritage and humanities treasures that keep Lincoln County warm and inviting.

Using a generous tax credit,

the Trust encourages Oregonians to give to the cultural groups that keep our towns vibrant, and then it grants funds around the state.

Since Oregon’s cultural tax credit was created in 2001, the Trust has not only built a permanent fund for culture of $17 million, it has awarded grants to important cultural groups and to Oregon’s 36 county and six tribal cultural coalitions, organizations that fill gaps in arts education through after-school programs; summer camps; library programs, and family events.

Since 2002, the Trust has invested $145,875 in Lincoln County, including direct grants of $22,000 over two years for improvements to the Lincoln City Cultural

Center. Trust grants of more than $12,000 were made to the Sitka Center for Arts & Ecology for its acclaimed artist in residence program.

The Lincoln County Cultural Coalition receives annual Cultural Trust funding, which it re-grants to local cultural programs like North Lincoln County Historical Museum, Let There Be Arts, Siletz Bay Music Festival, and Oregon Coast Children’s Theatre. Half of these grantees offer much-needed educational components.

The Cultural Trust also supports the authentic cultural experiences that bring visitors to the Oregon Coast.

The Lincoln City Cultural Center’s musical, theater and magic performances draw up to 66% of its attend-

ees from out of town. These visitors stay overnight, shop, dine, and visit other attractions. Cultural tourism is a $19 billion a year industry for Oregon, according to a 2012 study conducted by Travel Oregon and funded in part by the Trust.

So, support the organizations that contribute so much to the Central Coast’s vitality. Give to any one of Oregon’s 1,300 Trust cultural non-profits, match with a gift to the Trust, and get the whole match back at tax time when you take advantage of Oregon’s cultural tax credit.

This tax credit is vital for communities like Lincoln City, whose working artists rely on facilities like the Lincoln City Cultural Center,

whose businesses depend on tourism, and whose children enjoy extracurricular arts education.

Get involved: Express your views about the positive impact of culture in our communities, and about the Oregon Cultural Trust as a key contributor to education and the economy.

A civilized society nurtures its creativity as well as its functionality, meaning culture is part of what makes us Oregonians, and ultimately, part of what makes us human.

Meryl Lipman is the Communications Manager for Oregon Cultural Trust.

Roads End Annexation

I wish to refute councilor Noreikis’ statement read on Dec. 10th, 2012.

Four members of the Roads End (R.E.) Water District Board witnessed the following facts. R.E. was offered a contract by Hawker in early 2000. But the contract offered continuing water only if R.E. agreed to annex.

In exchange Hawker said he would try to get the tax increase ramped in. After about 10 or 11 futile meetings with the city we gave up dealing with them and started to pursue our own water source. At one of the meetings Hawker brought a city councilman with him.

But Hawker became so irate when we started to tape the meeting in lieu of minutes that he slammed his papers on the desk and yelled “I’m Out Of Here!” The councilman grabbed him and ordered him, “Sit Down Hawker!” This can be verified and the tape remains in R.E. files.

The R.E. water board has gained the state of Oregon’s approval and has continued to pursue and make good progress towards the establishment of an independent, reliable water source that will meet state standards.

Sorry Noreikis but your facts are not in order—you misspoke.

Thanks from LCCC

On behalf of all the members and volunteers of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, we wanted to thank the community for giving, attending and supporting our first-ever Tree Lighting Party on the day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 23. The estimated attendance was around 250, despite a pouring rain and a busy holiday weekend.

It would not have been possible without the support of Kenny’s IGA and the Morgan family, who provided the refreshments at no charge. This included many trays of treats, hot chocolate, coffee and cider, and 10 cakes and pies for the cake walk. Andy and Beth Morgan even volunteered to cut and deliver the tree, which was donated by Noble Creek Tree Farm and the Thompson family.

The crews of Pacific Power installed and secured the tree on the lawn, where it was decorated with LED lights donated by Kip Ward and Kandi Hansen. Most of the ornaments were handmade by the students at the Let There Be Arts, with help from instructors Kaline Klaas, Linda Livingston and Vonelle Swanson. Vonelle also led the charge to hang the ornaments — in a driving rain — along with Judy Chilcutt and Krista Eddy.

Kris Swisher, and the rest of the Salmon River Garden Club, provided all the indoor greenery. Thanks also to My Petite Sweet, providers of great cake walk pies.

On the night of the event, we were ably assisted by Jim Kusz and Marc McPherson of the North Lincoln Fire & Rescue volunteers, as well as Mayor Dick Anderson, the Sweet Adelines chorus, and the THS 7-12 mascot crew.

The make and take ornaments were led by Intz Walker, Bunny Stevens and the Wright family (Angie, Nathan and Jonny). Mick Smith and Lindy Stevens were masters of the cake walk, Susan Peters helped people find their way, and Laura Green (The Juggling Queen) kept kids entertained in the line for Santa.

Thanks to all those businesses and individuals who helped to make this event a reality. Same time, same place, in 2013?

So it finally happened: Roads End annexation.

I was a teenager in Lincoln City sixty years ago.

At that time, people talked about the need to create Lincoln City and the eventual annexation of Roads End. I’ve been a frequent visitor or resident during all the years since, and talk of annexing Roads End continued.

So, in all those years, anybody who bought Roads End property should have been aware of the (increasingly likley) possibility.

Rather than being angry, Roads Enders should let City Council members and City staff know what services they want for their money.

Dick Ricketts Eugene, Ore.

Roads End Annexation

I attended the December 10 City Council meeting.

The article by Jeremy Ruark captured quite well the making of the final Roads End Annexation decision. Statements made by the Councilors before the vote included some misleading assertions that went unchallenged. I’d like to provide some context.

Councilor Noreikis blames the Roads End Water District (REWD) for “any hardship felt by Roads End residents since the Board chose not to renew the water service agreement and chose not to develop an alternative water source.”

The agreement entered into in 1978 was limited by law to a 25 year term, expiring in 2003. It did not provide for an option to renew. I challenged Mr. Noreikis on this point after the meeting, and he qualified his assertion by saying that the contract could have been renegotiated conditioned upon the REWD agreeing to annexation.

I said to him: that is different from what you actually said in the meeting.

Furthermore, the City has actively impeded REWD’s efforts to develop an alternative water source.

Councilor Sprague commented that in 1980 when he was previously on the City Council (and two years after the water service agreement had begun) he could assure us that everyone City and Roads End understood that Annexation would ensue when the contract expired. If that were true, why was this not expressly

Fiscal Cliff

Can’t we do better than wars, violence, recessions?

Fiscal Cliff? Seriously?

The Senate just recently passed a $631 Billion loaded defense bill 93-7, to go with the House’s $634 Billion one.

No discussions of deficits, cuts, waste, fraud, or abuse.

Continued unneeded wars & emphasis on force makes us less safe, less secure.

We must stop investing in violence abroad & at home; children are too precious.

Our hearts & condolences go out to their loved ones; we must do better. Unpaid wars, bloated defense budgets, and tax cuts for the rich are the major causes of our deficits & economic illnesses. Why increase them? Why cut education & prevention of violence?

Without a decent economy here, we can’t be strong abroad. Given our lingering recession, we can’t continue to fund wars, weapons, pay for the defense of our allies, or rebuild other countries when we aren’t rebuilding our own.

Obviously, we can’t trust this lame duck congress to protect the people’s interests. Sadly, the only way to cut military waste, fraud & abuse while restoring fairness in our taxes may be sequestration, letting automatic cuts take hold. We can’t spend the majority of our budgets on war and tax cuts when we are in a deep recession. It’s just unsustainable, breeds violence.

There is no imminent fiscal cliff; vital social & other programs can be restored by the 2013 congress if truly needed. If the military budget is expanded to the exorbitant levels congress wants, our economy & nation will likely be plunged into a deep depression and turmoil from which it may not easily recover.

There is a better way, and that is to rebuild our crumbling schools, economy, manufacturing and infrastructure vs continuing risky tax schemes. Stop giving job killing tax cuts to the top 1%, and increasing their take by enriching their military investments. It’s not good for America, the children, or the world.

Homelessness

From page A1

Hall said Lincoln County has taken steps to address the homelessness issue over the years. Including development of My Sisters Place, a domestic violence shelter, the Samaritan House family shelter, rent assistance through the Community Services Consortium, information and referral services through 2-1-1, twice a year Project Homeless Connect events (it’s basically a one-day service fair, held in Lincoln City in the spring and Newport in the fall), emergency food through the pantries of Lincoln County Food Share; CSC has 18 housing units for longterm homeless individuals and families. The Lincoln County School district has HELP centers in Lincoln City, Newport, Toledo and Waldport that provide a variety of services to homeless students and their families.

The Community Health Centers operated by Lincoln County (public clinics in Lincoln City and Newport and the four high school clinics) are serving a significant low-income/homeless population.

But Hall acknowledges that more has to be done.

“The updated version of the county’s 10-year plan identifies an overnight shelter for single adults; additional shelter options for runaway and homeless teens and those aging out of the foster care system; better strategies for those leaving incarceration; and a day labor program for homeless individuals.

But the county also faces challenges in its efforts to help the homeless.

“Finances are certainly

tives of key agencies who have partnered in development of the plan will be in attendance.

The second annual Lincoln County observance of National Homeless Person’s Memorial Day will take place at 3 p.m., in the gazebo of Don Davis Park, just across the street from the PAC. Interfaith Committee on Peace and Justice is sponsoring the event.

December 21 was designated as National Homeless Person’s Memorial Day because it is the first day of winter and the longest night of the year.

From 4 to 5:30 p.m., the public is invited to an open house at the new Newport Inter-Christian Outreach HUB Information and Referral Center, located at 324 N. Coast Highway, behind Verizon and Arctic Circle.

The center will be a location for homeless individuals, families and others in need of social services to receive help in understanding and accessing the range of services available to them.

“It’s gratifying to see the community play an increasing role in responding to homelessness,” said Hall.

“This will be the most sustainable approach over the long run.”

Veterans Service office, and there is a VA doctor at the county clinic in Newport.

Our veterans service office does everything it can to connect homeless veterans and those in crisis with all services to which they’re entitled.

Hall said Lincoln County’s homeless can be hidden.

“We see chronically homeless single adults on street corners with cardboard signs, but that only represents about 10 percent of the homeless population by most estimates,” he said. “Far more common are the one- and two-parent families with children.

They’re in the inexpensive motels, in campgrounds, couch surfing with friends and relatives, and they are largely invisible.”

Three community events on Friday, December 21, will mark the Lincoln County community’s renewed commitment to ending homelessness.

At 2 p.m. in the lobby of the Newport Performing Arts Center, the public is invited to an event that will mark the formal launch of “At Home in Lincoln County 2.0,” a completely rewritten version of Lincoln County’s ten-year housing and homelessness plan. Representa-

a big issue,” said Hall. “We have made some strides in the past five years, but services are nowhere near adequate to the need. For example, Samaritan House has eight apartments available for families; the waiting list is in the range of 125 to 150 families and has been for some time. Geography and transportation are also big challenges. The majority of services are concentrated in Newport. Even though our bus system is better than in many rural places, it is still an added challenge for people outside of Newport to get there to access services.”

Hall said while Lincoln County is doing its best to serve those with mental illness or physical challenges, resources are not adequate.

“And people do have the right to refuse help unless they are determined to pose a danger to themselves and others,” said Hall. “I have been involved recently in two cases of people who were highly visible to others and appeared to be practicing serious self-neglect; as hard as it is for people to understand sometimes, we can’t force help on these people in most cases.”

Protect yourself from identity theft Sheriff’s Tips

explain why. If a government agency requests your social security number, there must be a privacy notice accompanying the request.

Make a list of all your credit card account numbers and bank account numbers with customer service phone numbers and keep it in a safe place.

When you order new credit cards in the mail or previous ones have expired, watch the calendar to make sure you get the card within the appropriate time. If the card is not received within that time, call the credit card grantor immediately to find out if the card has been sent.

If you don’t receive the card, check to make sure a change of address was not filed.

Pay attention to your billing cycles. Follow up with creditors if bills don’t arrive on time. A missing credit card bill could mean an identity thief has taken over your credit card account and changed your billing address.

Reconcile all of your bank accounts and regularly check your accounts online to confirm account activity. You are able to obtain a free credit check from each of the three credit bureau services each year; Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. An easy way to accomplish this is online at www.annualcreditreport. com or call the toll free number 1-877-322-8228 to request a report.

It is suggested that you request a free credit report every four months from one of the three credit bureau services. Please guard your identity. It could take years to recover from just one incident of identity theft.

By Sheriff Dennis Dotson

Identity theft continues to be a growing problem costing us billions of dollars every year in personal losses, investigations, and increased financial institution fees.

Criminals can obtain personal information from doctors, lawyers, schools, health insurance carriers, the Post Office and even your own home.

“Dumpster divers” pick up information you may have thrown away, such as utility bills, credit card slips, magazines, credit card solicitations, and other documents. Thieves will even take mail out of your mailbox before you have a chance to pick it up.

Don’t throw anything away that contains your name and address. Take everything from your Post Office box to your home or office. You should shred all documents, including pre-approved credit applications received in your name, insurance forms, bank checks and statements you are discarding, and other financial information. Magazine and newspaper labels with your name and address should be shred as well. A crosscut shredder is best, but for those with strip shredders, adding water to the strips of paper in a plastic bag and mixing it up will damage the paper and prevent anyone from taping the strips together.

Pick up your mail as soon as possible from your mailbox. If you are going to be out of town, have the post office hold your mail until you return.

Don’t put your social security number on your checks or your credit receipts. If a business requests your social security number, give them an alternate number and

Three Tiger wrestlers earn top-three finishes Jim Fossum The News Guard

Short on numbers but long on motivation, the Taft High wrestling team opened its season with a ninth-place finish Saturday, Dec. 15, at the Bill Haggerty Invitational in Nestucca.

Three Taft wrestlers placed third in the meet, which was comprised of 10 teams — Banks, Corbett, Gervais, Gladstone, Nestucca, North Marion, Seaside, Taft, Ilwaco, Wash., and the Tillamook junior varsity.

“As in recent seasons, we have a low turnout that will limit our ability to place highly in competitions,” Taft coach Luke Hall said.

“That said, we have several individual wrestlers who are poised to have good years and achieve some individual accolades.”

Five of the seven Taft wrestlers placed in the top four in the meet, led by third-place showings for junior Seth Steere at 138, Brandon Terrill at 145 and Sergio Velazquez, also at 145.

“Brandon battled a digestive ailment last season that prevented him from competing, but he’s every bit as good as I remember him, if not better,” Hall said. “He’s learning to add a bit of a mean streak to his wrestling,

Velazquez went 4-1 with four quick pins and one defeat by fall late in the second period.

“I’ve never had a kid work as hard as he does and who has picked up a sport in so short an amount of time,” Hall said. “... I remember

seeing him walk off the mat after his first loss last season with a bloody nose and a bruised eye and seriously wondering whether we’d be able to talk the kid back onto the mat. Turns out I sold Sergio way short. I never had to say a word. He buckled down, worked hard, and over the course of a year has become an absolute

machine.”

Steere, starting quarterback on the school’s football, team, went 3-1 to place third.

“Seth is our most accomplished wrestler right now, having just come off of a state tournament appearance, and a I know he was disappointed with a thirdplace finish,” Hall said. “...

At some point, Seth is going to have to start beating the quality opponents he runs into if he has his mind set on getting on the awards podium in Portland [at state] this February. That said, getting that reminder sooner rather than later is a good thing.”

Placing fourth for the Tigers with two wins and two losses by fall was senior and two-time state participant Zac Coultas at 120 pounds.

“Zac showed flashes of his best,” Hall said. “Zac’s big problem right now is his endurance. ... All in all, there were some flashes of absolute brilliance by Zac, but some missteps that will need to be addressed to get him where he wants to be.”

Junior Kevin Kovachevich went 3-1 by pinning three straight opponents within a minute after losing his first match by fall.

“Kevin makes me shake my head every time I see him wrestle,” Hall said. “He’s incredibly strong for his size, has an uncanny knack for the double-leg takedown, and just as an unlikely knack for getting himself into terrible position when he’s ahead.”

Junior Keaton Fisher went 1-2 for the Tigers at 138 pounds.

“If Keaton can solve the inconsistency, he’ll be a big asset by districts,” Hall said.

“I was pleasantly surprised with how developed he is as a wrestler.”

At 152, freshman Sam Taylor lost twice by firstperiod falls in his competitive debut.

“Sam had a tall order in front of him,” Hall said. “He got thrown into the varsity tournament, which is akin to throwing a kid into the ocean to make them learn to swim. ... Sam is going to be one of those guys that suddenly clicks and starts competing, and with his work ethic I expect it to be sooner than later.”

In a junior varsity match, 195-pound freshman Michael Parker went 1-2 with pin in 42 seconds.

“He’s got some things to figure out still, but grabbing a pin in under a minute, with a move we haven’t even covered in the high school mat room, is a promising way to finish his first tourney,” Hall said.

Taft will compete Jan. 5. at Willamina, where Hall hopes to send four more wrestlers — senior Blake Maxheimer, 113 pounds; sophomore, Joe Salsbery, 126; junior Chester Parker, 138; and freshman Gerardo Cervantes, 220 — into competition. The wrestlers missed the Nestucca meet due to academic reasons or injuries.

Basketball growing pains paying off with two road wins Jim Fossum The News Guard

The Taft High boys basketball team overcame the growing pains it has experienced while learning how to win by winning not once but twice this week, back-toback and on the road.

The Tigers claimed the season’s first victory Wednesday, Dec. 12, with a 66-54 nonconference win at Sweet Home behind the resurgence of senior Brent Martin, the game’s leading scorer with 18 points.

Senior forward Skyler Lopez added 16 points for the Tigers (2-5), while senior guard Keanu Eastman had nine.

“It was really nice to see Brent step up and be a leader on the floor,” Williams said.

Martin took over the game offensively in the fourth quarter, scoring 11 points, including seven straight, after Sweet Home (1-4) of the Class 4A Sky-Em Conference had rallied to within three points with five minutes left.

“Skyler Lopez started the game strong in the post, getting us some easy bas-

kets, which opened things up on the perimeter,” said Williams, who attributed the victory to Taft’s ability to limit Huskies’ scoring leader Grant Kauffman to 11 points.

Taft made it two in a row the following night in the opener of the three-day, eight-team Phoenix Invitational with a 46-45 overtime victory over the host team.

Junior forward Ian Williams led a balanced scoring attack for Taft with 10 points, including five in overtime against the Class 4A Skyline Conference member Pirates (3-3). Martin and Lopez contributed nine each, while Tyler Lopez had eight.

Junior forward Henry Lahti helped stretch the Pirates’ defense with two 3-pointers in the second quarter, Williams said, while senior center Chris Knudson had 11 rebounds.

“Our matchup zone was very effective in keeping a much larger team out of the paint,” Williams said. “We did a better job of rebounding than we have against other large teams.”

Unlike past performances while the Tigers learned

to compete in close games, the team executed effectively on offensive down the stretch, Williams said.

“We were in must-score situations three different times and ran the play perfectly all three times,” he said after Brent Martin knocked down a key shot to get the Tigers to overtime and Ian Williams hit two 3-pointers and two key free throws in overtime.

“I had multiple fans of the other team come to me after the game and express how fun it was for them to watch a team play that hard and execute that well at the end of the game,” Williams said. “In 18 years of coaching, I can say that was a first. The other team’s fans are usually not able to appreciate the performance of the team that beat theirs.

You usually only get those remarks from the opposing team when they beat you.”

The Sutherlin Bulldogs (6-2) of the 4A Far West Conference did just that with ease the following night, Friday, Dec. 14, 80-48.

The Tigers completed a busy week during a stretch that will see it play eight games in 11 days on Satur-

day, Dec. 15, with a 64-50 defeat to Cascade Christian.

Knudson again garnered Williams’ attention with his play underneath against a 6-foot, 7-inch and two 6-5 posts for the Challengers (2-1) of the 3A Southern Conference.

“Cascade Christian is a very good team and will compete for a 3A state championship,” Williams said. “Under the circumstances, I thought our effort was very good. We forced some turnovers and just couldn’t convert at the other end.”

Regardless, playing for a trophy, albeit third place, was valuable to the Tigers, Williams said.

“This tournament had eight top-notch teams and we finished fourth,” he said.

“Definitely something we can build on.”

Taft was scheduled to play a home game against Waldport on Monday, Dec. 17, and was at Junction City on Tuesday, Dec. 18 (past The News Guard’s deadline).

The Tigers host Scappoose at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 21, and are at Toledo, Saturday, Dec. 22.

Students get serious about college Jim Fossum The News Guard

Taft High 7-12 student Alexa Taunton spoke for fellow seniors last week when she acknowledged the importance of having an organized opportunity to plan for her education after high school.

“This event guides us to what we need to do to benefit our future,” said Taunton, one of 96 seniors who took advantage of Oregon College Application Week to complete and file entrance papers. “It’s a huge help for us seniors, especially true for the seniors whose parents did not go to college.”

One of just seven pilot schools in Oregon to be selected to host College Application Week, Taft students gathered with teachers, mentors and counselors in beginning preparations for their continuing education on Monday, Dec. 10, “It was incredible to see

opportunity to apply for college,” Taft Principal Scott Reed said. “Some students

even received an immediate response. This is a wonderful event to help seniors take

the next step.”

Fourteen volunteers and a new iPad cart containing 30 iPads purchased for the high school by Oregon GEAR UP assisted nearly 150 student visitors from all grades, said Taft counselor Vicky Roller, who oversaw organization of the event.

“We have incredible teachers and administrators that are willing to do what it takes and even go above and beyond to provide opportunities for students like never before,” she said.

Underclassman began research on colleges they were interested in attending and reviewed scholarship opportunities. Among them is financial assistance from the Oregon Student Access Commission, a state agency dedicated to creating a college-going culture through information, mentoring and support.

Taft’s week included support from Samaritan Health Services, which covered the cost of a college application

for senior Jazlyn Mitchell, Roller said.

A highlight of the week was a Wednesday evening parent event where Oregon GEAR UP Community Engagement Specialist Becky Wilson gave a financial aid presentation, she said.

Oregon Coast Community College President Bruce Koike was available as a resource for parents and students, who were also supported by Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson and his wife, Sue. While the focus was on helping all students, extra effort was expended on firstgeneration, low-income and others who might face barriers in applying to college.

“It was amazing to watch the students who were resistant to applying go through the process and then receive an acceptance letter,” said Roller, who said she envisions College Application Week becoming an annual event.

Taft girls win at Newport Jim Fossum The News Guard

Senior Marlee Garding was Taft High’s only victorious swimmer, but the girls’ team used several other strong performances to win the Newport Invitational on Friday, Dec. 14.

Garding, 17, won the 500-yard freestyle in 5:52.0 to lead the way for the Tigers. However, Taft placed seventh overall in the eightteam meet with 121 points.

The Tigers placed behind Rainier (237), Newport (228), Tillamook (170), Phoenix (162), Astoria (145) and North Bend (133), and ahead of Cascade (88).

Senior Destiny Zook, 17, placed second in two events — the 200-yard individual medley and the 100-yard breaststroke, where Phoenix freshman Lauren Speaks served notice she would likely challenge Zook for state honors by winning in 1:14.19. Zook, who swam 1:14.84 in placing fifth last year in the state finals, finished in 1:16.44.

Taft senior Kassie Gile, shown in practice prior to the season, helped the Taft girls to victory Friday, Dec. 14, at the Newport Invitational swim meet.

Another senior, 18-yearold Kassie Gile, placed third for the girls in the 200-yard IM. Meanwhile, freshman Madison Garding, 14, finished third in two girls’ events — the 100 breast and 200 free.

The Taft girls placed second in the 400-yard freestyle relay behind the swimming of sisters Marlee and Madison Garding, Gile and Zook.

Freshman Dylan Mickelson, 14, was third in the boys’ 500 free.

Averi Affeld-Anderson,

Justin Delfin, Shawna Harskjold, Cammeron Kelso, Brittney Knight, and Eli Shott also posted top-10 individual finishes.

Taft did not compete in the Seaside Four-Way Tuesday , Dec. 18, as previously scheduled and will return to the pool Saturday, Dec. 29, for the Taft Dual at the Lincoln City Community Center.

The Tigers will host the Taft Invitational, Tuesday, Jan. 8. at the community center.

Taft senior Alexa Taunton drives to the basket during Tuesday’s close home defeat to Sweet Home.

Tigers’ 4A loss hurts The Taft girls basketball team squandered a chance to claim its first victory over a fellow Class 4A school in four seasons in a 41-38 home defeat to Sweet Home on Tuesday, Dec. 11.

The Tigers missed 16 free throws and numerous point-blank shots and open looks in falling to the Huskies of the Sky-Em Conference to extend their losing streak to Class 4A opponents to 72 games.

Taft last beat a Class 4A team when it defeated Sweet Home, then of the now-defunct Val-Co League, 37-30 at home on Feb. 2, 2008.

“This loss was really a tough pill to swallow,” Taft Coach Dan Mock said.

“Essentially we did more to help Sweet Home than we did to help ourselves, and the final score reflects that.”

The streak was ex-

tended to 73 games two days later when the Tigers fell 63-20 Thursday, Dec. 13, to the host Pirates of the Skyline Conference in the Phoenix Invitational.

“Phoenix is a very good team with experience and depth, and we certainly were not very sharp at all,” Mock said. “Those things are a bad combination when trying to win a basketball game.”

Taft defeated winless Rogue River of the 3A Southern Conference 39-21 in its second tournament game on Friday, Dec. 14.

“This game presented us with some favorable mismatches, and we were able to exploit them to our advantage,” Mock said.

“I was encouraged to see our girls work hard to create turnovers and convert them into easy baskets for us.”

“We got off to as good of a start as we have had this season and things were looking positive for us,” Mock said. “We followed it up though with two really bad quarters and that was really the story of the game.”

Senior Jessie Wisniewski led Taft in scoring in the first two games of the Phoenix tournament with 13 and seven points, respectively, while junior Keitra Mason led the Tigers in the final game with 13.

After the wild, windy storms we’ve been having, you may need to do some pruning, pronto.

Broken branches usually leave shattered wood behind, which needs to be pruned off neatly, cutting back to solid wood, to avoid inviting disease into the wound. If possible, cut parallel with the trunk or supporting branch, leaving the raised “collar” where the branch joined the larger material. Cells in this area will grow to cover the wound.

If the broken part was not entirely severed, remove it before the wind can whip it about, causing more damage.

If you have old pruning paint in the your garage, leave it there.

Painting anything over the cut surface serves to trap moisture inside, creating ideal conditions for disease to develop. Allow the cut surface to be rinsed off by falling rain, and to dry naturally between rains.

If your downed twigs and branches include evergreens of any kind, make use of them to create beautiful holiday decorations for your home. Sprigs of pine, fir and cedar in a vase add cheer to the interior, and wreaths or swags hung outdoors greet visitors and give you a warm welcome too. Planters can be dressed up nicely with any kind of evergreens, simply stuck into the soil deeply enough to hold them in place.

As a child I loved to create little greenery arrangements for my room using twigs that fell in the woods where I lived. I’d stick a bunch into some little container, and add tiny ornaments I made with whatever shiny craft materials I could find. Try it with a child in your life.

If you haven’t yet pruned back those tall gangly rose canes, this is a good time to get that done, to avoid the wind whipping them and loosening the roots in the ground. Somewhere around thigh high works well, and you can tidy them up next spring by cutting just above a developing bud to direct the new growth if needed.

Hydrangeas may also benefit by winter pruning to cut back the stems that bloomed this year.

Cut back to just above a leaf scar as needed to shape or control the size of the bush. The first blooms next summer will come on the ends of the stems that did not have blooms this year. Severe pruning will delay bloom until late summer.

While your shears are sharp and you are in the mood anyway, take a critical look around your shrubbery to see if there are errant twigs that should be removed to keep the growth neat.

Try to shape only as needed, so as not to leave things ugly. There will be little or no growth during the winter. Also keep in mind that shrubs that bloom in the spring, such as rhodies and camelias, have already set their buds, so anything you remove now may also be removing flowers.

While you are outdoors, take time to enjoy the busy little winter birds flitting from ground to tree. They feed on the insects and weed seeds we don’t want anyway.

If this is the year you are going to have a living Christmas tree, in a container, place it in the coolest possible place, away from any kind of heat source. Keep the soil moist, and put the tree back outdoors during a rainy, mild spell if you can. Live trees should only visit indoors for a week or ten days, but if it is freezing outdoors when you are finished enjoying it in the house, hold it in an unheated garage or porch until it is raining again.

Happy Holidays, Gardeners!

December 26-30 is winter whale watching week on the Oregon Coast. It’s a great opportunity to see whales, like this breaching grey whale, migrating south along the coast.

Annual winter whale watch week approaching

I

t’s almost that time of year again. No, not Christmas; we’re talking Winter Whale Watch Week at 24 sites along the entire length of the Oregon coast, where trained volunteers will be present to show visitors the gray whales. This year’s event is slated December 26-30, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the designated sites “We get people from all over the world that come here to see the gray whales,” said Linda Taylor, Oregon State Parks Department interpretive park ranger who is stationed at the Whale Watching Center on U.S. Highway 101 in Depoe Bay. “People get really excited about seeing these whales.

This is not the only time you can see the whales, but during this period you actually receive help in doing so. About 18,000 gray whales will pass by in roughly four weeks, from mid-December to mid-January, and the same locations (see map and sidebar) are still great viewing spots. Generally, the higher the site the better the viewing.

Whale watching takes place almost year-round on the Oregon coast. Spring watching begins

in March, when another Whale Watch Week is scheduled March 23-30. The number of whales peaks the last week and finishes in June with mothers and babies being the last whales traveling north. Summer brings whales that feed along the coast from July to mid-November.

With trained volunteers at “Whale Watching Spoken Here” sites visitors receive help spotting gray whales during the winter and spring annual migrations, in addition to receiving information about their migration.

The main body of whales is about five miles offshore, but some can be seen as close as one to two miles off shore. During the southern migration whales seldom stop to eat, but travel steadily to the Baja lagoons of Mexico.

Winter migration has the highest numbers (30 per hour) but the whales are usually farther offshore because of stormy weather. Bring your binoculars and dress for the weather. Focus your binoculars and have them ready, but watch with your eyes. When you locate a blow, peer through your binoculars

for a closer look.

“They are huge, but they are not easy to see,” said Taylor. “It takes a little finesse to find them.

You are watching for their blow of the spout. They do everything underwater. But when they breach and actually haul clear out of the water and slam back down it’s pretty amazing.”

Gray whales are noted for their 12,000-mile annual migration from the Arctic Ocean to Mexico in the winter and their return north in the spring. Whalers nicknamed the gray whales “Devil Fish” because they fought so hard to defend their babies. Today, they are best known for being friendly to people.

In the 1600s and 1700s, gray whales in the Atlantic were hunted to extinction. They were hunted almost to extinction two different times in the Pacific Ocean. Starting early in the 1900s, the birthing lagoons were protected by the Mexican government. The United Nations joined in the protection in 1935, as did the International Whaling Commission in 1946, but the moratorium

against whaling wasn’t started until 1986. The grays made a good recovery and were taken off the endangered list in 1994, but are still threatened. The only natural predators of gray whales are Orcas (killer whales) and large sharks.

Even though some countries are still whaling, the biggest threat to the whales is pollution in the oceans.

The whales migrate south to give birth to their young in the warm, calm bays of Mexico. Gray whale babies are 15 feet long and weigh 2,000 pounds at birth and can grow up to 45 feet long and weigh 70,000 pounds.

They return north and spend the summer feeding in the Bering and Chukchi Seas, seldom eat during migration. About 200 gray whales don’t continue to Alaska, but remain along the Oregon coast to feed. The Oregon coast produces lots of phytoplankton (small marine plants), which are eaten by zooplankton (small marine animals), including bottom dwelling amphipods and mysid shrimp, the primary food of the whales.

A solstice celebration The Driftwood Public library is offering a winter solstice celebration Dec. 21 beginning at 7 p.m.

“The winter solstice is the longest night of the year and the official day of winter,” said Heather Jones, Driftwood Library assistant. “Cultures all over the world have been celebrating this. We started our celebration about nine years ago. It is a time to take a breath and relax during the busy holiday time and reflect. It is definitely a time for reflection and hope.”

The Driftwood Library Winter Solstice celebration will offer poetry, music and story telling.

This week at the Lincoln City Cultural Center The center is home to the working studio of painter and sculptor Jill Perry Townsend. She leads life drawing and sculpture classes and invites visitors to see her at work during open studio hours. Join Jill from noon to 3 p.m., on Friday, Dec. 21.

Native American tree bears fruits of giving Jim Fossum The News Guard

Little did Luhui Whitebear know all those years ago that her vision would still shine bright for all in Lincoln City and beyond to see.

Literally.

Look no further than just inside the entryway to Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

What has now become a holiday-season fixture at the casino stands a brilliantly decorated 6-foot Christmas tree first known as the “Giving Tree,” most often now referred to as the “Sharing Tree.”

“Caring Tree” would also be apropos.

As a student at Taft High School years ago, Whitebear began a practice that lives to this day — the participation of the school’s Native Student Association (NSA) in making artwork for the tree that designates a needy young recipient of a gift.

“Poverty and homelessness are something children should not have to endure in such an economically sound country, yet there are children who face it every day,” Whitebear said. “This is not in some far off country, but right here in our own communities. I know, because I was one of them.”

Today, in other words, Whitebear would have been a model recipient for an artful card in her name on the tree.

“Growing up, most children don’t realize that they live in ‘poverty,’ they just know they live differently from many other children,” she said. “They may not have the latest technology or the newest shoes, and they may not even know if they will have

said.

While the toys and gifts may not last, the memories they evoke and the artwork that spawned them often do. Juanita said some past recipients have fondly recalled how much the giving meant to them and have kept the artwork.

They are the ones who now often do the picking from the tree as a show of gratitude, she said.

Whitebear said a major factor in the tree’s success has been casino employee Melinda Logan, who she called “the backbone of Chinook Winds’ effort.”

Together, the continued success of the overall project continues to touch lives.

“I am excited to see that the Native Student Association at Taft High continues to carry on this tradition and to create a positive, lasting impact on the lives of children and the community,” Lu Whitebear said.

JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD

Taft High senior Chancery Nguyen of the Sioux tribe, senior Pablo Lascano of the Apache tribe and sophomore Cheyenne Bortolo of the Siletz tribe work with instructor Juanita Whitebear, standing, on artwork that will decorate the Sharing Tree inside the entryway to Chinook Winds Casino Resort and eventually provide holiday joy to needy local children. dinner that night. Knowing where the local food bank, meal site, and church donation center for clothes is something they do know.”

Whitebear said she will never forget the impact that a small gesture of someone donating clothes to the church had on her. Nor, she says, will she forget how much a box of food meant to her and her family.

“Having experienced the generosity of strangers giving to me and my family as a child inspired me to do the same,” she said.

Hence, the beginning of not only what has become an annual holiday ritual, but the founding of NSA at the high school, which her mother, Juanita, now oversees.

While a student at Taft, Luhui (Lu) worked with fellow classmates to start NSA as a way to support

one another and help educate the community about Native culture.

One of the club’s first projects was the birth of the Giving Tree.

NSA started out at the Inn at Spanish Head with a small tree and worked with the local schools for anonymous gift tags to be created for local Native children in need.

As a result, the organization was able to gather gifts for several local children through the thoughtfulness of community members.

“This was my way of giving back to the community,” she said.

“It was my hope that this small gesture would inspire the children whose lives were touched and the community as a whole to show more kindness to each other and to honor the tradition of giving back.”

Children in need of receiving

toys and messages of joy during the holiday giving season are referred by community members, those at the school and within the various tribes. Artwork is then designed and placed on the tree to alert the person who picks the card about the need for fulfilling the desire for a particular Christmas gift for that child.

Juanita Whitebear investigates things as far ranging as what the child really needs, their favorite color, etc., to ensure that just the right gift will be delivered.

“The students here put their feelings and their thoughts and their energy into coloring this Native art with what represents us as people, as an expression, and then they put that on the tree with a notice from the Native Student Association of Taft High,” Juanita

Theatre West play and audition schedule Nana’s Naughty Knickers- Comedy by Katherine DiSavino, Director – Stina Seeger-Gibson, 3M,5F, Int. (Dec. 27, 2012 - Jan 19, 2013, w/ New Year’s Eve Gala Monday Dec. 31.

Bridget and her Grandmother are about to become roommates.

However, what Bridget saw as a unique opportunity to stay with her favorite Nana in New York for the summer quickly turns into an experience she’ll never forget. It seems her sweet Grandma is running an illegal boutique from her apartment, selling handmade naughty knickers to every senior citizen in the five borough area!

Rose’s Dilemma– Comedy by Neil Simon, Director – Cindy Wesolowski, Feb. 28 - Mar. 23, 2013 / Auditions Jan. 6 and 7.

In her beach house in

the Hamptons, celebrated writer Rose Stern stands at a crossroads: she hasn’t written anything in years and money is getting short.

Her former lover, literary lion Walsh McLaren, offers from beyond the grave-an opportunity to regain her celebrity and gross millions. It’s not going to be easy and a “ghost” writer is required setting in motion another touching and unpredictable romantic theatrical by America’s premier Pulitzer Prize-winning comic playwright.

Sin, Sex & the CIA– Comedy by Michael and Susan Parker, Director – Bryan Kirsch, May 2 - May 25 / Auditions Mar. 10 and 11.

Huge oil reserves have been discovered in The Chagos Islands. O.P.E.C. is pressuring the Chagosians to join the cartel. A

C.I.A. agent and an under Secretary of State, whose life appears to be run by her libido, are sent to a C.I.A. safe house in the mountains of Virginia to begin negotiations for the U.S. to place the Chagos Islands under their protection. Unfortunately, no one knows who the islands’ representative really is. We are left to wonder how the C.I.A. agent ever got the job. He gets caught in all his own booby traps, he electrocutes himself, he sets fire to himself, he gets a bucket stuck on his head, and finally locks himself in his own handcuffs! Add to the inevitable chaos, a stranded televangelist, his innocent secretary (or is she?), an ex-marine caretaker, who isn’t what he seems to be, and a mysterious, glamorous neighbor, and you have a complex,

laugh out loud farce, that can be played on any stage.

The Fox on the Fairway – Comedy Farce by Ken Ludwig, Director – Rich Emery Jul. 5 – Aug. 31 / Auditions May 12 and 13.

A tribute from Ken Ludwig (Lend Me A Tenor, Moon Over Buffalo) to the great English farces of the 1930s and 1940s, The Fox On the Fairway takes audiences on a hilarious romp which pulls the rug out from underneath the stuffy denizens of a private country club. Filled with mistaken identities, slamming doors, and over-the-top romantic shenanigans, it’s a furiously paced comedy that recalls the Marx Brothers’ classics.

Drink a Beer, Save a Butterfly!

Silverspot IPA celebrates the Oregon Silverspot butterfly which once flourished in coastal grasslands from Washington to California. Due to habitat loss, this threatened butterfly is now found only in a handful of protected areas. The Oregon Coast is home to most of these sites including nearby Mt. Hebo and Cascade Head, which can be seen from the patio of the Pelican Pub & Brewery. Oregon Silverspot butterflies depend on a unique ecosystem of coastal grasslands, with caterpillars feeding on violet leaves and butterflies drinking the nectar of flowering plants. A collaborative habitat restoration and reintroduction program is helping to increase this butterfly population. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this beer will help fund conservation efforts for the Oregon Silverspot Butterfly.

The Pelican Pub & Brewery, located 22 miles south of Tillamook on the majestic Oregon Coast, has become a Northwest landmark for craft beer and fine food enthusiasts. The oceanfront facility includes an outdoor patio and banquet room with unobstructed views of Cape Kiwanda and Haystack Rock. Recently named “2012 Champion Large Brewpub” at the World Beer Cup and “Best Dark Ale – Doryman’s Dark” at the Australia International Beer Festival, the Pelican is celebrating its 16th year in Pacific City. The Pelican has created countless masterpieces such as Kiwanda Cream Ale, which was named to DRAFT Magazine’s Top 25 Beers in the World of 2008, 2009 and 2010. Other award-winning brews include India Pelican Ale, MacPelican’s Scottish-Style Ale, Tsunami Stout and Doryman's Dark. The three-time Great American Beer Festival “Brewpub of the Year” winner is open seven days a week, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. For more information, call 503-965-7007 or visitwww.PelicanBrewery.com.

Silverspot IPA now holds a permanent slot in the Pelican lineup with its brilliant gold color and assertively complex hop aroma. Brew Master Darron Welch selected the blend of Sterling, Fuggle and Meridian hops, focusing on herbal, floral, spicy and tangerine-like characters to create this highly drinkable 6% abv EnglishStyle IPA. November 19th Chef Ged Aydelott and his team will be changing up the menu by bringing back our ever popular chili along with some new creations that are a must try! The Sesame Crusted Pan Fried Oysters and Rockfish Sandwich will go great with a Silverspot IPA or perhaps a Tsunami Stout! For the vegetarians, we are adding to the menu a new vegetarian sandwich and a Grilled Tofu Stir Fry.
