Virus hits area, one death reported Taft High boys basketball coach Mark Williams has seen this act before.

Last year, it played out during an increasing number of performances late in the year.

This season, it took just one game.

The Tigers, inching closer and closer to turning the corner and winning close games only to fall somewhat short, went on a 14-2 run midway through the first quarter to take command of its season opener against Banks on Wednesday, Nov. 28, only to stumble, 61-45, in a nonconference home game.

A virus that hits hard and is similar to the flu is spreading in Lincoln County and Doctor Erling Oksenholt, the director of the Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital emergency room, calls it a “mean cold.”

“This is a hard virus,” said Oksenholt. “It is pretty bad. It lasts longer than the average cold, about two weeks, and has a lingering cough that is the last thing to go away.”

He said the virus could be dangerous to those in risk groups such as the elderly, chronically ill and infants.

“I know of at least one death in Lincoln County associated with this virus,” said Oksenholt. “That person died after the virus led to pneumonia.”

Even as people begin to find relief and believe the virus has ended they re-catch it because their immune systems are weak, according to Oksenholt.

Symptoms of the virus are much like influenza, and

“Going to the emergency room will do no good,” said Oksenholt. “There is nothing we can do. But if you have this virus and asthma or pneumonia, that’s a different story.”

According to Oksenholt, some relief from the virus includes antihistamines, Tylenol, lots of fluids and

Santa’s elves — a generous and growing group of gift-givers otherwise known as Lincoln City residents — are teaming to make Christmas the best ever for the area’s needy.

Various charitable community organizations and individuals are combining to stock shelves, pack sacks and collect toys, food and money in order to avoid leaving anyone out when the time comes to stuff their stockings this holiday season.

or Barbara Jenkins-Gibson and her four full-time crewmembers, Christmas comes just about every day of the year.

“The Christmas Cottage is open 363 days of the year, from 10 a.m., to 5:30 p.m.” said Jenkins-Gibson. “We’ve been in business for 38 and one-half years.”

Jenkins-Gibson operates The Christmas Cottage, located at 3305 U.S. Highway 101 in Lincoln City. It is a store full to the brim with Christmas decorations from all over the world. But despite all the decorations, the store is kept neat and trim, a very important part of the business’s success.

“It is all about details,” said Jenkins-Gibson. “Customers know. They see details. You can’t short-change your customer. They want to shop in nice places and buy nice things and you

shouldn’t insult them.”

Jenkins-Gibson attributes the longevity of her store to its customer service.

“I’ve known many of these customers for 30 years,” she said. “They just keep coming back year after year. I would guess that about 80 percent of our business is with returning customers. They know we are going to be open. They can rely on us.”

The only time the store closes early is when the power is out.

Alice Willis, who moved to Lincoln City from Portland, has been visiting the Christmas Cottage for 22 years. She said she enjoys shopping locally.

“I keep coming back because it is a great store, “ said Willis. “I can find everything I need for the holidays.”

“At first people are overwhelmed because there is so much,” said Jenkins-Gibson. “It is almost frightening to them. After about five minutes they realize that the store is categorized and they relax and enjoy it.”

The Christmas Cottage is also a trip back to people’s childhood Christmas.

“Guys especially like that,” said Jenkins-Gibson.

“We tend to be a traditional store so we don’t do a lot of trendy, fashionable things that change every year. We do more traditional things.”

The store’s merchandise changes every day. It can’t be in a set order, according to Jenkins-Gibson.

“We have to be flexible because people are constantly purchasing items

and we are constantly replacing the items and adding new items,” she said.

Gibson-Jenkins couldn’t say just how many Christmas items are in the store at one time, but admits she has thousands of decorations on display and many more in storage at the Cottage.

“There is such a variety,” she said. “Everyone that walks in the door has a

Japan gifts NOAA $5 million to address tsunami debris der secretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and administrator of NOAA. “We appreciate this partnership and collaboration with Japan as we work to keep our ocean and coasts healthy.”

Debris from the disaster has drifted across the Pacific and reached shorelines in the U.S. and Canada. In July, NOAA provided $50,000 each to Alaska, Hawaii, Washington, Oregon and California to support response efforts.

Items from the tsunami that have drifted to U.S. shores include a large dock that washed ashore in Lincoln County, buoys, vessels, plastics, Styrofoam, and sports balls.

Interim Pastor leads Chapel by the Sea The Reverend Denise Mosher is the new Interim Pastor at Chapel by the Sea Presbyterian Church, following the retirement of longtime Pastor Dr. Ric Neese.

Pastor Mosher preached for her first time at the church on Nov. 18. Her contract runs for one year.

Mosher and her husband Paul, married 25 years, reside in Monmouth, where she served as Campus Minister at Western Oregon University.

She has also led congregations in Aurora and, most recently, Keizer.

A 1996 graduate of the School of Theology at Claremont, Calif., Denise served as a Navy Chaplain Candidate during summer breaks.

Ordained to a call as Campus Minister at the University of Wisconsin, she also served as a Wisconsin Air National Guard Chaplain.

“My father jokes that only in his lifetime would his daughter be ‘an officer and a gentleman’ – and the pastor,” she laughs.

For fun, Denise has returned to a childhood passion: competitive tennis.

This year, the couple adopted a rescue terrier they named Turbo.

Mosher said she is thrilled to be at Chapel by the Sea, and that the congregation mirrors her enthusiasm.

Chapel by the Sea is located at 2125 S.E. Lee Ave. in Lincoln City. Telephone 541-996-2070. Sunday worship services are scheduled at 10 a.m.

The Government of Japan has announced a gift of $5 million to the United States, through NOAA’s Marine Debris Program, to support efforts in response to marine debris washing ashore in the U.S. from the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

The funds will be used to support marine debris response efforts, such as removal of debris, disposal fees, cleanup supplies, detection and monitoring.

NOAA anticipates distributing funds to affected regions as the funds are received from Japan and will work to determine immediate needs and plan for future applications.

“Oregonians appreciate this gesture of goodwill from the people of Japan,” said Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber. “The Misawa dock landing on our shore was a reminder of the tsunami’s devastation, but also of the ocean our two nations share.”

Washington Governor Chris Gregoire called the gift from Japan a true indicator of the Japanese friendship and generosity.

“In the wake of the devastating tsunami, this commitment by the government of Japan is an ongoing demonstration of the nation’s continued contributions to the international community,” said Gregoire.

“Their assistance will help our coastal communities respond to possible increases in debris and protect our coastal environment.

We continue to offer our condolences for the tragedy that claimed so many lives and the need for so much rebuilding in Japan, and continue to admire the strength, commitment and resilience of the Japanese people.”

Since the disaster, NOAA has been leading efforts with federal, state and local partners to coordinate a response, collect data, assess the debris and reduce possible impacts to natural resources and coastal communities.

“We are extremely grateful to Japan for its generous support to the American people. The tragedy set in motion by the earthquake and tsunami continues to be tangible, but it brought our nations together. This gift is a powerful reminder of the goodwill, friendship and spirit of mutual support between our people,” said Jane Lubchenco, PhD., un-

“This will be our first race in quite a few years in Oregon,” he said.

The Northwest Jet Sports Association, which is comprised of groups from Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Alaska and British Columbia, staged several races in the Pacific Northwest this summer. It’s schedule included the Daroga Roundup on the Columbia River north of Wenatchee, Wash.; the Tastin N Racin’ event in Issaquah, Wash.; the Apple Pie Jamboree in Pateros, Wash.; and the Tinkertown Throwdown at Long Beach, Wash.

The race is the brainchild of retired local resident Miles Schlesinger, a former green builder in the Portland metropolitan area who lives on Devils Lake near Regatta Grounds.

“I am the entire effort so far, except for Roger, but I believe we are going to get a commitment this week from a main sponsor of the first annual jet ski races and event,” Schlesinger said.

“In visiting with people, we thought that it was a good idea to encourage use of the lake and provide maybe more tourism on a soft weekend with relatively nice

weather. So, we’re making all efforts to put this thing together.”

Harnack said his group is working on acquiring the necessary permits to conduct the race and has met with various local officials, who he said expressed interest in the event if it could be held as a precursor to the summer tourist season.

“We’re putting it on the week before Memorial Day, which is in the slower season, and, hopefully, will bring people to Lincoln City earlier in the summer,” he said. “Now, we want to be sure we have all the other players in place that would provide insurance, sponsorships and so on.”

The race would be part of a series of events that would determine Northwest-area qualifiers for the International Jet Boat Sporting Association (IJBSA) World Championships Sept.

29 through Oct. 7 at Lake Havasu City, Ariz.

“I haven’t gotten anything in detail yet,” Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau Executive Director Sandy Pfaff said. ‘It’s on Devils Lake, so it’s complicated because the state owns the lake, but I think it would be a fun thing to do.”

Harnack said he met with officials from the Devils

Chinook Winds joined in the gift-giving spirit with donation of the wreaths.

“We like to be involved in the community,” General Manager Michael Fisher said. “It’s very important for us to support Lincoln County with things like this and we’ll continue to do so.”

Taft High, meanwhile, continues to plug along with its own gift-gathering effort in what appears will become the school’s biggest annual contribution yet.

“I know they’re beyond what past years have done and they’re doing a good job of keeping the excitement going with regular updates and the competitions between the classes,” Taft Principal Scott Reed said. “I

think we’re going to end up with a very good result.”

North Lincoln County Fire & Rescue District #1 volunteer firefighter Marc McPherson will testify to that. He’s the one who must haul the cans and boxes of food from receptacles in the high school to storage for the Christmas giveaway.

“I know they’re interested in keeping the lake clean, so we want to get them on board,” he said. “Although they don’t have any jurisdiction over an event like this, it sure is nice if we can show them that, hey we’ve got fine-tuned machines and they’re not dumping fuel in the water.”

Harnack also met with representatives from the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce.

“Barring any objections from any other quarters, I’d be in favor of it because it would drive people into cans of food, and I’m on my second trip picking them up,” he said last week. “We also collected $250 worth of toys, so we won’t have the problem we had last year with not enough food or toys to deliver.”

NLFR district’s volunteer group spent one morning last week buying enough toys at Tanger Outlet Center’s “Toys R Us” store to fill a van. The group spent a $500 gift card, with an additional 25 percent discount, allowing firefighters to purchase nearly $900 in toys. The toys will be added to the many collected a few days earlier at Les Schwab Tire Center, which also collected $440 in four hours.

town and not just for a couple of hours but over multiple days,” Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Nonni Augustine said.

Sanctioned by the IJBSA, the races are governed by a series of rules for ages, skill level and horsepower, Harnack said.

“Juniors to however old, if somebody wants to race, they can,” said Harnack, publisher and editor of the Omak-Okanogan County Chronicle in Omak, Wash., said. “We will have beginners through professional.

We have a couple of former world finalists that will be there, men’s and women’s

classes, and standup and sit-down divisions.”

Harnack said he expected about 40 to 45 race teams, ranging from a single person or, a small team such as himself and his 10-yearold racing daughter, to larger groups.

“We also have the beginner class, so anybody in Lincoln City who has never raced can give it a try,” he said. “You need a vest and a helmet and that’s pretty much it. After that, they can race.”

Reliability has kept unbelievable hours for more than 100 years.

A sampling of the teamwork is evident in the Lincoln City Rotary Club’s sale of 10 24-inch wreaths for $27 each to Chinook Winds Casino Resort. In turn, Chinook Winds has donated the wreaths to the Taft High 7-12 student body to sell as part of its annual food drive.

“It’s our only fundraiser for the year and the proceeds go mostly for scholarships for seniors from Taft High School, Seventh-day Adventist School and Career Tech,” said Estle Harlan of the Rotary Club, who has sold about 275 wreaths, The club, which sells about 1,200 wreaths each year and last year gave out about $14,000 in scholarships, is likely to award a portion of its proceeds to the homeless program at Taft, which already has received approximately $2,500 from the Rotarians, Harlan said.

“Basically, what Rotary is about is service above self,” Connie Issac, club publicity director, said. “So, all the members join with the expectation of what we do is give back to our communities.”

While the Rotary Club conducts service projects abroad, Isaac said local community involvement is tantamount.

Guest Commentary

Now, the real work begins Lawn signs have been picked up or blown away.

The radio ads have stopped.

And mailboxes are filling with holiday catalogs instead of candidate brochures. Everyone is glad the election is over. On a personal note, I am relieved to no longer see my face in trash-bins at the Post Office.

For me, the real work starts now. I will be representing an area stretching from Waldport to Tillamook and inland to Sheridan. It is a large district blessed with natural beauty and wonderful people. I am proud to have been elected, humbled by your trust, and ready for the responsibility. I am more grateful than I can say.

I’m also mindful that Lincoln City has not represented our district in at least 30 years. But the district goes well beyond “North County.”

Those Portland representatives with a district they can see from their own doorstep have no idea. I now represent eight cities, portions of four counties, two tribes, a Federal penitentiary and 100 miles of beach. We are a diverse collection of communities and not everyone here will always agree

with me. I respect those with opposing views and will actively seek out common ground wherever I can find it. I believe that working together, we can make things better.

Oregonians are tired of politicians who see everything through Rep. David a partisan Gomberg filter. We all know that no person, group, or political party has a monopoly on the truth. Oregonians have a right to expect their elected officials to work together, even when they disagree, to achieve meaningful results.

And twenty-five years of marriage has taught me that compromising isn’t losing...

The new legislative session will convene in January.

My priorities as a legislator are the same as those I talked about as a candidate: education, job creation, and health care. These are broad issues but there are finite and specific programs which can help address each. · We have struggled to

fund K-12 education. Our kids and grand-kids deserve the best education we can provide! And we can do better to support community colleges where funding has been on the decline. I intend to be an advocate for rural community colleges, two of which are in this district. · In a tourist based and production economy, transportation is critical. We need to focus on the highway and rail systems that bring customers to the coast, and transport fish, timber, and dairy products to market. · I want to be a champion of small businesses. I understand that small businesses create most new jobs in this region. And I also understand how small business can be burdened by a plethora of special taxes, fees, and regulations. (Our company was named Business of the Year in Lincoln City for 2012.) · The availability, affordability and quality of health care are particularly important outside Oregon’s metropolitan population centers. Here on the Coast, even people with health insurance often can’t afford to use it because of high deductibles. And we need

to focus on helping keep seniors safe, healthy, and secure in their own homes. · There is a delicate balance here between preserving our magnificent environment, and creating or maintaining jobs. Coastal legislators have taken a lead in working to protect our forests, oceans, parks, and waters, and also our people and our local industries.

I’m a small business guy in a small business district.

By that I mean that most people here either work for or retired from smaller businesses in tourism, farming, fishing, dairy, forestry or health care. The decisions I make will each be tempered by my small business experience. How will businesses and employees of businesses like mine be affected? How will communities like mine be affected?

How will families like mine be affected??

Here on the Coast, we face big issues. But we also need to be aware of small ones. Regulations affecting beach use or fireworks; rules designed for large businesses that burden smaller ones; power outages and communication black-outs; beach clean-up. A legislator from

the Coast needs to stay on top of small issues so they don’t become big problems.

For the past six years, the Central Coast has been well represented by Jean Cowan. We owe her a debt of gratitude for her lifetime of service and good work. I’ll have to work hard to earn the respect and the effectives she has exercised on our behalf.

I also want to thank my former opponent, Jerome Grant. In a year characterized by negativity and attack politics, we never once exchanged a disparaging word. I shared my ideas; he shared his. And then the voters made their decisions.

In the next few days, I’ll be assigned to committees, get an office, finalize staff, and complete local and Salem phone numbers. Angie Allbee will be working as my Chief-of-Staff and district liaison. I welcome visits in the Capitol and comments on legislation or issues.

Thank you so much for the honor of representing you.

“All Roads End Property Owners”. Not everyone in Roads End receives this information. I used to receive it but not anymore. I’ve been involved in the VRD issue for years and was one of maybe five Roads Enders that attended the VRD Consensus Project Meetings. The four men representing Roads End on this project made no effort to include me in their discussions.

Yes, there are Roads Enders that are uncomfortable saying anything that even hints at pro-annexation. They fear being ostracized. I can understand that.

Just TELL me why!!! I think I understand that a govt. inquiry has been asked for on the California, Oregon and Washington gas prices ...but I don’t hear reasons, I hear excuses from the oil refineries, so what IS the reason... someone, please???

book sensitivity. If they were to put that into words it would go like this: “We like being close to Lincoln City, but we don’t want to pay city taxes.”

Still, any worry about not receiving a fair share of services is not entirely groundless. I suggest that the Council spell out what benefits the Roads End area will receive. In particular, money should be assigned for streets and related projects after soliciting Roads End input.

Holiday Grinch

On Sunday, Nov. 25, a bicycle and fishing gear were stolen from my grandchildren in Otis. My daughter has been fighting a diagnosis of terminal cancer, and the family is burdened with debt. Replacing the items will be difficult. The bicycle is a fairly new Performance Boys Holeshot 24-inch kid’s bike. Some of the fishing gear included lures the older boys hand-tied on a special fishing trip with an uncle.

Please help us recover these items. If you know who took them, call Jeremy Van Damme at 541-9925565 or contact the police.

Senior Center Problems

Sandra Yardley made the front page with her falsehoods and fabrications regarding the Senior Center.

Here are the real facts. This is the same Sandra Yardley who sued the Senior Center twelve years ago for this same sort of nonsense. She lost in court. The Center was awarded court costs that were never paid. Sandra moves out of state when

necessary. She is seeking an attorney to sue the Senior Center again by advertising in the paper for one.

At our September meeting the members voted to ban Sandra from the Center for 30 days if she did not desist with her disruptions.

She chose to continue and is now serving that 30 days. This whole matter started last spring when a new President and Board members were to be elected.

Michael Bass, a relatively new member, ran against Jan Shields and lost 24 to 58 for Jan. Then the nasty letters to the board and Jan began and still continue. A pamphlet was pinned to the bulletin board filled with hate and pictures about Jan and the Board. Sandra also claims to have a coalition, but refuses to give names of the members. I have been a member for over thirteen years and have observed the quilt group, the pinochle and bridge players, the pool players and the swimmers exist in harmony. This Senior Center problem only began when Michael Bass lost the election and Sandra Yardley came back to town.

Roads End Annexation

This letter is in response to Brayden Criswell’s letter of 11/28/12.

I live in Roads End. I am not pro-annexation but I am accepting of it because I favor VRD regulation in Roads End. I have followed the annexation issue for years and listened to all the testimonies at the recent hearings.

In a previous letter to The News Guard (May 2012), I voiced my opinion and said “...the writing is on the wall: Roads End will eventually be annexed.” Now, consider the following: The Roads End Improvement Association periodically sends out newsletters and memos addressed to

Thanks for Help

Just wanted to acknowledge the three kind gentlemen, one of whom was Doug Miller, who assisted with our trailer issues during the storm on Monday. We were very surprised how they went out of their way to help us during the wet windy weather. We live in the Gulf Islands in Canada, but don’t remember experiencing that much wind!

Thanks again.

Gas Prices in Lincoln City

I just got back from a lovely drive up to Tillamook.

Gas has come down a little bit and the weather was gorgeous, (Monday).

I left in a good mood... I came back mad as hell!!

Gas here in town is $3.69 for regular at all the stations bar one that is $3.63.

I get to Pacific City and it is $3.41 per gallon!! I get up to Tillamook, same thing at all the stations, $3.41.

Can someone please tell me why we are paying 28 cents a gallon more for gas, which on my car on 15 gallons is costing $4.20 more to fill up!! Now if you have one of those gas guzzling big

Charter Disappoints Fans

Last Saturday, Duck and Beaver fans that subscribe to Charter Communications cable TV service weren’t able to watch the Civil War game because Charter doesn’t carry the Pac 12 channel.

I wonder how many Civil War parties were ruined when their customers found out at the last minute they couldn’t watch the game.

When I contacted Charter to find out why, I was told it was because they weren’t able to reach an agreement with the folks at Pac 12. The Dish Network and Comcast management teams must have realized how important the Pac 12 channel would be in this part of the country and found a way to reach an agreement so they could provide the service to their customers. I also understand XFINITY cable service (part of Comcast) is coming to the Coast the first of the year. That’s good news because I, for one, will be switching to a service provider that cares as much about the service they provide their customers as they do their bottom line.

Thanks to the Community

Thanks you so much for your generous donations to The Warm Fuzzies Project again this year. This was our third year collecting new hats, scarves, gloves and socks for those in need in our community.

I am happy to say we collected just over 1,000 new items that have already been distributed to those in need. That brings our three year total collection to 2,500 items!

Thanks to the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, Lincoln City Community Center, KBCH Radio and BOSS Radio in Newport for offering us space to use as collection sites.

Special thanks also goes to Project Keep Warm and the Lincoln City Kiwanis for creating the beautiful things they donated.

Because of all of these organizations and the countless individuals in our community who donated to Warm Fuzzies, we had our best year ever!

Thanks doesn’t seem to say enough, but knowing that you all helped to make a real difference in the lives of others should make all of you feel “Warm and Fuzzy.”

Wilma Finlay

Wilma Finlay died on Monday, Nov. 12, at Providence Kodiak Island Medical Center in Kodiak. She was 100 years old.

Wilma was born June 11, 1912, in Kooskia, Idaho, to John Franklin Brown and Pearl Evelyn Makinster. She was the first daughter and fourth child of 10 born to the couple.

As a child, Wilma traveled from Idaho to Pennsylvania and back to California and Oregon with her family as Wilma a migrant Finlay worker. At age 18, she married Fred Wintermantel in Oregon, and they began building their own farm. At age 19, Wilma had a baby girl, Betty. Wilma became a widow at age 20 when Fred succumbed to a flu epidemic after being ill for only two weeks.

Wilma worked hard to survive and provide for her baby. Five years passed, and on May 18, 1938, she married Lawrence Finlay, a local farmer who raised mink and fox. They married in Talbot, Ore., and remained married until Lawrence’s death in 1994. During their time in Oregon, they added two more boys, David and Dale, to the family.

Wilma always felt that the Lord had been with her and that she always had known God, so when her husband Lawrence went forward in a Sunday evening service to declare his decision for Christ that he had

made two weeks earlier, she went forward with him and dedicated her life to the Lord. This was under the ministry of the Christian and Missionary Alliance church pastor, Rev. Rogers R. Irwin, at the Talbot Community Church.

In 1962, Wilma and Lawrence moved to Alaska to homestead in the Matanuska Valley and raise potatoes.

After a year, they moved to Homer to fish crab, and they moved to Kodiak a year later. Wilma took on many jobs in Kodiak, including town seamstress, director of activities for the Kodiak Senior Center, church secretary at Kodiak Bible Chapel and boarding high school students from Kodiak Island villages. She was involved in many volunteer activities such as 4-H, and also helped to establish the first Christian Women’s Club in Kodiak. She loved to fish the road system in Kodiak during the silver salmon run.

Wilma was also a 20-year survivor of breast cancer. To Wilma, her family was her priority. She loved cooking, sewing, crocheting, reading, entertaining, playing with her grandchildren and a good game of Scrabble.

Wilma Finlay was many things to many people—a wife, mother, grandmother, friend, teacher, confidant, inspiration, leader. Whatever she did, she did with great strength, gusto, laughter and love. Wilma stated that she “never wanted to be bored, but always wanted to keep busy,” and that may be the secret of her longevity for 100 years.

She is survived by her sister Naomi Hill of Albany, Ore.; children Betty (Willie) Heinrichs of Puyallup, Wash., David (Freda) Finlay of Eagle River, Dale (Jan) Finlay of Kodiak; grandchildren Robin (Barb) Heinrichs of Roy, Wash., Kim (Brad) Goetz of Puyallup, Wash., Randy (Sangetta) Heinrichs of Riverbank, Calif., Todd (Kara) Heinrichs of Fife, Wash.; great-grandchildren Katrina (Marcus) Stewart of Kodiak, John (Sheridan) Heinrichs of North Pole, Kim Heinrichs of Anchorage, Caleb Heinrichs of Kodiak, Kristin (Brian) Jones of Kent, Wash., Laurel (Billy) Donkervoet of Washington, Amanda and Emma Hein-

richs of Riverbank, Calif., Gabriel and Anneleise Heinrichs of Fife, Wash.; greatgreat-grandchildren: Jonah and Mia Stewart of Kodiak, Kayla, Shawn, and Ethan Heinrichs of North Pole, Johnny Heinrichs of Kodiak, Sierra, Jayce, and Jacoby Jones of Kent, Wash., Peter Donkervoet of Washington; and many nieces and nephews and beloved friends.

A funeral and interment have been held.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to The Gideon’s International at PO Box 140800, Nashville, TN 37214 or online at www. gideons.org/HowYouCanHelp/Give.

Arrangements were through the Howell-Edwards-Doerkson Funeral Home in Salem, Ore.

Robert Gortmaker

After a brief struggle with cancer, Bob, 75, died at home on Nov. 20, 2012, with his loving family at his bedside.

Bob was born in Sioux Falls, S.D. on Christmas Day of 1936 to Louis and Mary Gortmaker. His family moved to Portland when he was a boy, and he graduated from Roosevelt High School and from the University of Portland in 1958 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.

During his workRobert ing years, Gortmaker Bob was a stockbroker, contractor, and restaurant owner. He loved playing tennis, skiing with his family, staying at his cabin at Snow Bird in Government Camp, and after his retirement, spending most of his time at his Neskowin beach cottage. He treasured the company of his children, grandchildren, and many friends.

Bob is survived by his wife of 53 years, Patricia; his children, Julie, Kristin Parker (Michael), John (Ann), Patrick (Crista), and Karen Strober (Jeremy); 11 grandchildren; a recently arrived great-grandson; and his sister Joan Clark (Craig).

A6 The News Guard Obituaries Sally Smith

May 31, 1932-November 26, 2012 We’re not sure what this world is going to be like without our Sally (Sara Jane Kinsey Smith), but we know she will be dearly missed by friends and family. Sally was born to Reba and Herbert Sally Kinsey in SpoSmith kane, Wash. and left us after a brief illness.

Sally had many passions.

She was married to William S. Raby for a short time and Jack A. Smith for 45 years before his death in 1997.

She asked that we not write a typical obituary as she thought they were boring.

Communication was an essential part of her daily life. If her computer or printer weren’t working, everyone knew about it… after all, she was still working at 80 years of age and needed to be available to her customers!

She was into astrology and you better have known not only your birthday, but the time you were born and that of your significant other. As a Gemini, the sign of the twins…she definitely had the energy of two people.

She rarely stopped moving unless it was to sit in the sun on her “launching pad” to enjoy a cocktail and the ocean view at her home on Road’s End in Lincoln City… or to take in 10 games of Keno or play a few games of cards with her loyal friends.

Sally took great pride in all she did and was extremely organized. Part of those organizational skills included the care she took of her photos. Photography was a very big part of Sally’s life. She had over 70 albums and scrapbooks dating back to her childhood with photos and mementos of her family and travels.

Every photograph had a comment written near it.

She even wall-papered her room at her daughter’s home with 8x10 photos of the friends and family who came to visit her in Tigard.

“The Sally Smith Memorial Library” which is basically her life story will be moved to Tara’s home.

In the 60s before getting into real estate she used those same skills to research her family tree back to the 1700s. Tara can still remember Sally sitting at her desk writing letters on a typewriter and smoking a cigar. She was a Camp Fire leader for many years and she always had a way of keeping the girls engaged and active.

Sally was a real estate broker for 44 years and continued to work until the very end for Taylor and Taylor in Lincoln City. She

December 5, 2012

was a true professional and made many friends from her years in real estate.

Family was very important to Sally. She is survived by her daughter Tara Rutledge (Joel) and stepson Randy Smith (Cathy). She had 5 grandchildren, and 8 great-grandchildren. Her big brother Jack Kinsey, two nieces and a nephew and their families will also miss her.

Feathered and furry friends were a big part of Sally’s rich life. She leaves behind Acer, her Silky Terrier and Norman, her gigantic affectionate cat…and we must mention all of the squirrels that congregated at her bedroom window who kept her entertained near the end. Sally also fed cat food to the sea gulls at her home in Lincoln City, much to the disdain of her neighbors, prior to moving to Tigard.

She was known for being a lot of fun and quite playful. Up until the very end she presented an optimistic attitude that she says kept her alive longer than the doctors’ prediction.

From naming her oxygen concentrator ”Big Bertha,” her tiny green oxygen tank “Tiny Tim,” and strongly hinting she wanted a horn, an American flag and her “Elvira” license plate for the wheel chair she eventually needed.

As mentioned Sally was into astrology. She woke up on the 25th of November and said she was ready to let go….she died within 16 hours. Her horoscope that day said:” Focus on your goals for today and don’t let anything distract you from getting the job done…”

She always got what she wanted!

A celebration in Sally’s honor will be held in December. A graveside service will be held in May at Willamette National Cemetery.

Instead of flowers please make contributions to Central Coast Humane Society, P.O. Box 71, Newport OR 97365.

Marcella Taylor

Marcella (Marcy) Frances (Johnson) Taylor died Nov. 24, 2012. She was born in Oregon City, Oregon on March 27, 1924, first generation and only child of Byron Mark and Frances (Shannon) Johnson.

She lived her first 18 years at Zigzag , Oregon, her residence was four miles from the Marcella Mt. Hood Taylor Highway, sans electricity and other accouterments. She graduated from Welches Grade School (1938) and Sandy Union High School (1942). Traveled by bus on a very twisting and curv-

and mentor of Together We Read; volunteer at the Driftwood Library tutoring on how to use the internet and email; and as a tutor in ESL. In 2005 she received the Driftwood Award from the Driftwood Public Library for support and promotion of the library. She was actively involved in the Dark and Stormy Night series at the library since 2005 that features Oregon mystery writers.

A member of AAUW, she served as president for three years. She belonged to the very best book club that one could imagine.

As a young person she read all of Richard Halliburton’s travel books. This led to her dream of traveling.

She has visited more than 50 countries in the world.

She was never able to partake in a camel caravan across the Sahara Desert as Halliburton did, but did ride an elephant in a jungle in Thailand, waddled with penguins in Argentina, and played “chicken” with Barbary apes on the island of Gibraltar.

The joy of her life were her two children Bruce and Mary. They survive her with the respective spouses, children and grandchildren, Bruce and Pattee, their son Marcus and his family, Mary and Raymond Clark and their children Taylor and Morgan.

She often said that if she touched anyone’s life she hoped it was in a positive way.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Marcy Taylor Memorial Scholarship Fund c/o Lincoln County Foundation, 8423 Yaquina Bay Road, Newport, OR 97365 would be appreciated. A memorial service is being scheduled for early next year.

ing road to Sandy for high school, left her home at 6:00 am and did not arrive back home until 6:00 pm.

When she arrived in Eugene at age 18, for the first time in her life she had the joy of using electricity, hot water 24 hours a day, and a phone you did not have to crank to get the operator. She graduated from the University of Oregon with a BS degree in 1946. While there she was a columnist for the Daily Emerald. She belonged to various honorary societies. Worked for the Athletic Department, tutoring athletes in mathematics.

Graduate assistant when a senior for the head of the Sociology Department.

Marcella taught mathematics at Estacada High School (1946—1951), Canby High School (1950—1960) and Walla Walla Community College. She substituted in various schools in Oregon and Washington. She received a MS degree from Walla Walla College (1971).

She continued her education all the rest of her life, doing more graduate work at University of Oregon, Oregon State University, Western Oregon and Portland State.

Marcella came to Taft High School, Lincoln City, Oregon, in 1971 as a counselor and was there until her retirement in 1991. In 1989 she was selected as teacher of the year in Lincoln County.

In her teaching career, she served on many State Department of Education committees including the selection of state adopted mathematics text books.

When she retired, friends from Taft High School, Lincoln County School District, ex-students and parents gave her a round trip air ticket to London and further funds to buy a round trip air ticket to Prague and a hotel room for a week.

All this enabled her to be in Europe when school started the following fall.

She often said one of the most difficult things she had ever done was to turn in her keys and walk out of Taft High School on her last day of employment. She never thought of her work as a job, but a place where she was allowed to go every day for twenty years and have the time of her life.

To fill that void in her life after retirement, she volunteered to “save the world” with an emphasis on assisting children.

She was on the founding board of Oregon Coast Community College, and served as chair; founding board of the Lincoln County Commission on Children and Families; board member of the State of Oregon Citizens’ Review Board; Lincoln County NonProfit Social Service Agency Committee; board chair of Small Grant Committee for LCCCF; Samaritan North Lincoln Citizen Advisory Committee; board member

Richard “Dick” Vandiver

Richard “Dick” Vandiver passed peacefully into the night on Tuesday, Nov. 13, 2012. He bravely fought a short, fierce battle with a rare form of liver cancer.

Dick was born in Lebanon, Oregon on Jan. 1, 1938, to Paul and Irva (Snyder) Vandiver. He graduated from high school at Salem Academy in 1955. Dick

attended Goshen College in northern Indiana where he met his first wife, LaVon (Springer) Devlin. Their first daughter, Joni Lynn (‘59), was born in Indiana.

He received his BA in Psychology at CU Boulder in Colorado two days before their second daughter, Jana Kay (‘62), was born. Dick also earned a MA in Sociology at CU Boulder just before moving to Rock Island, Illinois where he taught at Augustana College. It was in Moline, Ill. that their son, Jack David (‘66), was born.

Dick earned his PhD in Sociology/Criminology at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Ill. in 1972.

The family moved to Missoula, Montana where Dick taught sociology at the University of Montana from 1971 to 1988. He held numerous positions in professional organizations and community agencies but he was very proud of the position he held and the influence he had in starting the Mountain Line Bus System in Missoula.

In 1988, he moved to Boston, Mass., where he worked as a Court Consultant, began his love of photography and started his Mother’s Art Nature Photography business in Boston.

As a Trial Court Administrator and Court Consultant, Dick moved from Massachusetts to Florida and then to Denver, Colo.

Dick’s parents eventually required greater care and attention so he moved back to Oregon in 1996 to be near them. At that time he worked at the Oregon State Courts until his retirement in 2003.

In 2002, he moved to Gleneden Beach, Ore., to be near the ocean he visited frequently. He loved the ocean but even more, he loved the agates and other rocks the ocean would wash on to the beach.

While attending a court conference in 2002, Richard met Janet Sweeney the love of his life. Their wedding in 2005 in Lincoln City, joined two families.

Richard loved to visit his grandchildren wherever they happened to live (Hawaii, Washington, Florida, Colorado, Montana, and Australia). He made certain

they all knew that he loved them, and how important they each were to him.

He was known for his big bear hugs, his amazing breakfasts (especially when camping) and his incredible eyesight. He could spot a deer, a bear, a bird in the trees hundreds of feet away or a flower while he was driving up a mountain road or on his many road trips throughout the United States.

Dick was active in the local Lincoln City Congregational Church, UCC, as well as the United Church of Christ conference in Portland. He attended OCLI on Tuesdays at Salishan Lodge, was on the Citizen Review Board for Lincoln County and met with a group every Friday for breakfast and stimulating conversation.

Richard is survived by his wife, Janet Vandiver; his daughter, Joni Vandiver Isaman - husband David, children Kawika and Kaylynn; his daughter Jana Vandiver Felt - husband Stephen, children Sadie, Levi and Hadley; his son, Jack Vandiver - children Michaela and David; his mother-inlaw Eileen Staniford; his step-daughter, Jennifer Aribibola - husband, Dele, children Derek, Sade, Ayodele, Kayode; his step-son, Jeff Sweeney - wife Christina, child Carter; his sister, Norma Jean Eason and his first wife, LaVon Devlin. In addition, he leaves behind many, many friends and relatives who will miss him dearly.

A Celebration of Life was held on November 19th at the Lincoln City Congregational Church, UCC. A service at the University Congregational Church in Missoula, Montana, will also be held this summer to celebrate Dick and his life.

For information contact janavanfelt@gmail.com.

Donations may be made in honor of Dick to Caring Bridge, your local food bank or to any non-profit that you support, which reflects your passions: theological, peace and social justice, compassion and care.

Trees help bring in the green 4-H creates centerpieces for Meals on Wheels clients

Jeremy C. Ruark The News Guard

The 14th annual Festival of Trees and Angels Ball held Dec. 1 at the Chinook Winds Casino drew 210 people and raised over $30,000.

“It has been our biggest year yet,” said Jim Davis, a cofounder and coordinator of the event. “With the economy the way it is the need is greater and it’s harder to raise money.

But this community just keeps on giving. For a small community I think we did a terrific job.”

Seventeen trees, several wreaths and other gifts donated by local businesses and civic groups were placed on public display Nov. 28 – Dec. 1 and auctioned off during the event.

The money collected is used to support requests from the needy for one-time financial assistance for rent, utilities, doctor bills and other needs.

Davis said the event over the years has raised over $500,000 and served about 800 families.

“We have already begun planning for next year’s event,” said Davis. “Our goal will be to hit that $30,000.

We just want to make it bigger and better and get more people to attend.”

Decorated trees that won awards at this year’s Festival include the People’s Choice Award for the Depoe

plenty of rest.

He said the virus is contagious and can spread quickly.

“Parents with children that have this virus should keep them at home,” said Oksenholt. “The best way to avoid this virus is to avoid the grocery store when mothers are there with their children, avoid visiting friends that are ill, don’t over exercise and limit your time outside during rain showers, and wash your hands frequently.”

This Christmas Tree donated by The News Guard and Just Bear With Me with an Italian theme won “Most Unusual” Award at the 14th annual Festival of Trees. Ed Kuhn and John Denker decorated the tree.

Bay Chamber of Commerce Tree, The Sears Tree won Best of Choice, The Santa’s Choice Award went to the Nelscott House of Antiques and The News Guard / Just Bear With Me Tree won the

egon Health Authority, said the hard virus appears to be confined to Lincoln County.

“We don’t know that it is a single virus,” said Cieslak.

“I chalk it up to the seasonal respiratory season. There are always viruses going around.”

Cieslak said there are hundreds of viruses that circulate in the fall, winter and early spring in Oregon.

“Unless labs have isolated the virus it’s difficult to know if people have had the same illnesses,” he said.

Because of financial limitations, the county and state health officials do not normally track such viruses, unless they begin to pose a major health threat.

Most Unusual Tree Award.

Just Bear With Me also won the People’s Choice Best Christmas Wreath Award.

As of Nov. 30 there were no reported flu cases in Lincoln County according to Oksenholt. But he is urging people to get flu shots.

Matt Laidler, an epidemiologist with The Oregon Health Authority, said there have been eight confirmed cases of influenza in the Portland metro area that required hospitalization. He said the influenza season typically begins in January and February.

Cieslak also encourages flu shots.

“Take it the first opportunity you can get,” he said.

The vaccines are available for children beginning at six months and for adults.

“Children under eight

Community service and giving to the community is an important lesson taught by the 4-H Youth Development Program, one that more than 40 youth and adults joyfully learned Dec. 2 at the 4-H Youth In Action celebration at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds. Together the participants created more than 210 holiday centerpieces to be given out to Lincoln County Meals on Wheels recipients.

Generous donations from M & K Bark and Floral, Miller Farms, Fishing Family Farms, Jackson Hill Tree Farms, Toledo Elks Lodge and the OSU Extension Master Gardener’s Program meant there were plenty of greens and other decorations to work with. Youth and parents alike fashioned each centerpiece by hand, using evergreens and other plants, holly, ribbons and decorative ornaments to add the finishing touches.

Meals on Wheels is much more than just a meal, it is a link to the community.

Volunteers don’t just leave a meal at the door but rather check in on the recipient and – at special times like these – get to deliver good

years old getting the vaccine for the first time need two doses because their immune system hasn’t been primed yet,” Cieslak said.

Oregon should have a good supply of the flu vaccine available.

“We are looking at a record supply this year,” said Laidler. ”We already have over one million doses available.”

A spokesman for the Lincoln County School District reports no spikes in student absenteeism connected to the current virus.

The News Guard’s calls to the Lincoln County Health Department concerning this story were not retuned as of press time.

Children join the fun to create Christmas centerpieces as part of a Lincoln County 4-H project. tidings from other community members wanting to say “we care.” Thanks to this collaborative event, elders and seniors will have a beautiful holiday centerpiece in their homes this holiday season.

This is event is just one example of the incredible work done by 4-H members and leaders throughout the Lincoln County community. Some of that year-long work was also recognized at this event, with medals, ribbons and certificates going to several youth for their accomplishments. The award for 2012 Outstanding

Pedestrians make their way across the D River Bridge in the center of Lincoln City, one of several parts of town where walkers and vehicles face close quarters. The Lincoln City Council has formally adopted a new Biking and Walking Plan to help people move around town easier.

Lincoln City walking, biking plan adopted The Lincoln City Council has adopted a plan to enhance biking and pedestrian-friendly paths in the city.

The Lincoln City Walking and Biking plan was created in a series of public meetings starting in August 2011 by city staff and consultants and with the help of a public advisory committee (PAC). The city council closed the public hearing on Oct. 22 and formally adopted the plan during its regular session Nov. 26.

The Lincoln City Biking and Walking Plan lists the problems that city streets and Highway 101 create for cyclists and pedestrians and recommends solutions including sidewalks, bike lanes, shared paths and speed bumps.

Funding for the projects to be selected has yet to be determined.

Local monster has identity crisis Christmas Organizers of the Devil’s Lake Creature project are asking the public to give the large statute a name. The art piece was erected at Regatta Grounds Park on West Devils Lake Road Aug. 4. It was created by artist, Heidi Erickson, and was constructed by Erickson and her fellow metal sculptor, Doug Kroger. The artwork was commissioned by the city’s Public Arts Committee and was two years in the making.

Let There Be Arts, a local non-profit dedicated to keeping arts programs in the schools, is helping to coordinate a Naming Contest open to all children in grades K-12. The deadline is Friday, December 14, 2012.

Here are three ways to enter: Children are asked to e-mail their entry to LTBA Director, Kaline Klaas, at kklaas@lettherebearts.com and be sure to include their full name, their parents’ names and a phone number where they can be contacted if their creature name is chosen.

Children can write their entry name on the front side of a piece of paper, and on the back write their full name, parents’ names, and contact information. Mail it to Let There Be Arts, PO Box 453, Lincoln City, Oregon, 97367 Students at Oceanlake and Taft Elementary Schools can enter in their

classrooms and give their entry to their teacher.

Artist, Heidi Erickson, has some things for kids to consider when thinking of a name: It stands at the entrance to Regatta Grounds Park.

It is a very happy creature.

It is a whimsical tribute to the legendary Lake Creature.

It is a magical guardian of Regatta Park and watches over the children in the park and creatures in the lake.

The creature is about hope, love and bringing people together.

The creature has a BIG RED HEART that has hundreds of wishes inside from people of all ages, shapes,

sizes and ethnicity who live here and all over the world.

Some of those wishes have already come true!

Made from 90% recycled material: steel, round bar and retread tires. Heart is constructed of car metal.

The creature is huge! 13 feet high, 18 feet long and weighs almost two tons.

All the names will be given anonymously to a committee who will choose our creature’s name. The winner will be notified and have their picture taken with the Regatta Creature and the artist.

Shoppers come to the Christmas Cottage looking to add to their holiday decoration collectibles, others come for a specific ornament for a family member or friend.

“We try to fill all the customers requests,” she said.

The store employees also personalize the gifts free with names and dates and will also wrap the ornaments at no charge.

Jenkins-Gibson also offers an ornament she designs each holiday specifically for Lincoln City.

“I started designing those decorations in 1989,” she

said. “We have hundreds of people that order those decorations every year.”

But Jenkins-Gibson won’t claim one particular Christmas decoration in her store as her favorite.

“My favorite thing is when people buy their favorite decoration,” she said.

“I get to be part of all these people’s Christmases. I live at the beach and I work for Santa Claus. What better life can you possibly have?”

Jenkins-Gibson said she has a wonderful marriage and is able to provide four full-time jobs with benefits.

“It’s wonderful,” she said.

Tigers squander late lead in loss to Banks JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Taft High boys basketball coach Mark Williams has seen this act before.

Last year, it played out during an increasing number of performances late in the year.

This season, it took just one game.

The Tigers, inching closer and closer to turning the corner and winning close games only to fall somewhat short, went on a 14-2 run midway through the first quarter to take command of its season opener against Banks on Wednesday, Nov. 28, only to stumble, 61-45, in a nonconference home game.

“There is absolutely no excuse for the way we played in the fourth quarter,” Taft coach Mark Williams said after watching his team be outscored 20-3

by the Braves of the Class 4A Cowapa Conference.

“We were outscored, outrebounded and outhustled.”

In other words, outplayed.

Taft, despite 17 points from senior guard Tyler Lopez — many coming on penetrating drives to the basket ­— fell behind 5-0 early, rallied for the lead by the end of the first quarter, maintained the advantage through three, and appeared headed to a fast, fresh start to the 2012-13 season.

“We started the game slowly, but then picked up the intensity,” Williams said.

Defense was the key for the Tigers through the first three quarters, particularly, Williams said, in the post where 6-foot, 3-inch senior center Chris Knudson provided great help-side rotation.

Williams was far less thrilled with his team’s abil-

ity to close the game out, however.

“We need to have confidence in our ability to win a close game,” he said. “We have a tendency to get that ‘deer-stuck-in-the-headlights’ look, and then panic when pressure sets in.”

While Williams recognized that the Tigers must perform with greater poise and confidence down the stretch of close games, he also said he is confident they will overcome the prob-

lem, which has victimized the team for several seasons.

“It is our biggest obstacle right now,” he said.

The Tigers returned to action Tuesday, Dec. 4, in a nonleague game at Class 2A Waldport of the Tri-River Conference (past The News Guard’s deadline), and host Cowapa Conference member Astoria at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 7. Taft plays at Sweet Home of the Class 4A Sky-Em Conference on Wednesday, Dec. 12.

JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD

Taft High basketball players Tyler Lopez, top left, and Ian Williams, above, helped get the Tigers off to a fast start before a fourth-quarter collapse led to a loss to Banks.

Nine Lincoln County teachers earn certification Nine Lincoln County School District (LCSD) teachers have earned certification by the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards after completing a yearlong process demonstrating exceptional skill and accomplishment in the classroom.

“Our goal is to have quality teachers in every classroom so every student has the opportunity to learn at a high level,” LCSD Superintendent Tom Rinearson said. “I am extremely proud that these teachers accepted the challenge to become Nationally Board certified.”

The newly-board certified teachers are: Kara Allan, sixth grade teacher at Taft Elementary; Cristal Arden, special education teacher at Crestview Heights School; Marcy Doyle, mentor teacher; Brian Hanna, advanced math and science teacher at Newport High; Mary Koike, science teacher and International Baccalaureate coordinator at Newport High; Ruth McDonald, community curriculum resource liaison; Allison Samuel, advanced math teacher at Taft High; Dana Spink, sixth grade

teacher at Toledo Elementary; and Krista Williams, special education teacher at Crestview Heights School.

“National Board Certification is changing the culture of learning in the classroom,” says Libba Sager, last year’s LCSD’s school improvement specialist administrator. Part of Sager’s role was to support candidates through the certification process.

“Every child deserves to have a high quality teacher who has the knowledge, the confidence, the ability and the support in order to provide a quality education for all students,” she said. “National Board Certification provides a valuable professional growth opportunity to help our teachers become accomplished educators.”

The certification process is rigorous, time-consuming and costly (close to $2,600), but the effort is rewarding for both teacher and student the teachers say.

“I found working with a partner who was completing the same national standards to be very helpful since we were able to collaborate with ideas and give direct

feedback to each other,” Arden said. “I also found that I personally grew as a teacher through the process of videotaping myself and analyzing my performance.”

“Completing the National Boards process gave me the opportunity to carefully reflect on my teaching, which helped me to improve my teaching skills and improve student learning in my classroom,” Williams said.

Doyle said “My journey through the NBPTS process was an intense, rigorous, rewarding and humbling experience.”

National Board Process: Once a teacher applies for National Board Certification and submits all eligibility forms, he or she is given up to three years to complete the process. Sixty-six percent of candidates do not achieve certification on the first try.

Candidates demonstrate their teaching practice by submitting four portfolio entries. Three of them are classroom based, with video recordings and examples of student work serving as supporting documentation.

A fourth entry relates to the candidate’s accomplishments with families, the community and collaboration with colleagues and how this impacts student learning. Candidates also must demonstrate content knowledge in response to six 30-minute exercises

developed for their chosen certificate area. Assessments are administered at computer-based testing centers across the United States.

A candidate’s portfolio entries and assessment center exercises are scored by a minimum of two teachers within that particular

certificate area who have successfully completed intensive training and have been qualified for scoring based on their understanding of NBPTS standards and guidelines. Candidates are notified in November whether they have achieved certification.

Tigers’ wrestlers hope experience proves valuable There is, says Taft High wrestling coach Luke Hall, no substitute in his sport for experience. Physically demanding, to be sure, wrestling is a technical sport and participation at the top level is tantamount to success on the mat.

Having as many as four legitimate contenders to teach and contend for medals at state has Hall encouraged, entering the Tigers’ season-opener Saturday, Dec. 15, at the Bill Hagerty Invitational in Nestucca.

“We have three or four legitimate state contenders, which is up from last year and an encouraging start,” he said. “This is the best group I’ve had as far as attitude and work ethic are concerned.”

Leading the way are expected to be junior Seth Steere and senior Zac Coultas, the state-savvy core of what Hall hopes will be a representative team in difficult Class 4A Special District 4 competition this season.

“As always, it’s beneficial to have guys with state tournament experience in the mat room,” Hall said. “They understand the stakes, the effort required, and the intensity that needs to be routine in order for success.”

Hall said he hopes that know-how rubs off on teammates as the season wears on.

“Seth and Zac are good to have around for their knowledge of the sport from a technical standpoint, but also from the emotional standpoint and knowing

how to handle losses and setbacks,” he said. “This is especially important for our young guys as they struggle with disappointment early on. Zac and Seth have both seen their fair share of disappointment, but they’re testaments to the fact that perseverance and hard work will pay off.”

Steere, the only returning state participant from a season ago, hopes to become more than a mere participant in state competition this season in his return in the 145-pound division.

Coultas, a two-time state participant, also is back but will move up a classification from 106 pounds to 120 after missing most of last season due to academic ineligibility issues.

Hall said he hopes academic and behavioral issues on a roster already limited in numbers will be less of a problem than in past seasons.

“The middle weights are well-stocked and guys will have several options for practice partners, which will help give us a more wellrounded style,” he said.

Two 138-pound seniors — Brandon Terrill and Sergio Velazquez — promise to provide some of the experience Hall deems so important to his team’s prospects for the 2012-13 season.

“Unfortunately, last season was a lost year as Brandon battled a digestive issue that had him losing weight inexplicably,” Hall said of Terrill, who came one match short of state during his sophomore year. “Doctors have figured the issue out and Brandon is back for

his senior year with an opportunity to break through.”

Velazquez started wrestling last year for the first time and greatly improved over the course of the season, Hall said.

“He is our hardest worker and was the most devoted to the sport in the offseason,” he said.

Hall also has two freshman who have caught his attention — 152-pound Sam Taylor, who is new to the sport but a relentless worker and quick learner, and 220-pound Gerardo Cervantes, who is Taft’s only wrestler who will compete over the 160-pound division.

As usual, lack of bodies is a concern for the third-year Taft coach.

“We’ve unfortunately grown accustomed to a low turnout,” he said, “and we’ll inevitably experience some loss as the season goes on to

Oregon College Application Week kicking off Dec. 10 at Taft High Oregon College Application Week will kick off Monday, Dec. 10, with a goal of providing an opportunity for all Oregon high school seniors to complete and file college applications.

To assist students in preparing for and applying to college, Taft High 7-12 in Lincoln City is one of seven pilot schools in Oregon that will host College Application Week.

Community support is welcome to help make the first-time event a success, Taft Counselor Vicky Roller said.

“With support from our community, students can connect to resources available outside of the classroom that will help them prepare for college,” she said. “Our students would appreciate and benefit from your help and support as they take a big step toward going to college.”

Roller said more than 60 percent of all jobs in Oregon will require some

form of education and training after high school. “That means one simple thing: the more you learn, the more you’ll earn,” she said.

While the focus is on helping all students, an extra effort will be given to firstgeneration, low-income, and other students who might face barriers in applying to college. Taft High was selected by the Oregon University System and the Oregon College Application Week Steering Committee to be a pilot school for this activity.

During the week, Taft students will learn about their options for education

and training beyond high school, meet with college representatives, and receive assistance with applications.

Students who participate will be eligible for giveaways.

If you would like to be involved with this event, please contact Roller at 541- 996-2115 or by email at Vicky.Roller@lincoln.k12. or.us

and Stayton and Elmira, which placed seventh and eighth, respectively.

Besides that, Hall characterized Newport as a program on the rise, Philomath as a perennial top-10 squad and Cottage Grove, as a team with several outstanding returning wrestlers.

“All said, Special District 4 continues to be the most competitive in the state,” he said. “Making the state tournament from this district is no small achievement.”

Coastal Youth Taft swimmers get feet wet in Tillamook A12

December 5, 2012

Tigers look strong in first appearance, led by veteran swimmers and strong freshman group

JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

The Taft High swim team spent the night before the season-opening Tillamook Invite braving thunder, lightening, brisk wind and heavy rain in yurts near the beach at nearby Cape Lookout.

They spent Saturday, Dec. 1, much more at home in a heated pool for an early season showcase of things to come in the Class 4A swimming ranks.

“They did really well for an early season meet,” Taft coach Lissa Parker said.

“Novices or those new to the team show great promise, and they stepped up to do two events, relays and push themselves.”

As usual, however, it was the veteran swimmers who led the way for the Tigers. Seniors Marlee Garding and Destiny Zook picked up where they left off a season ago by winning both of their individual events in the seven-team meet.

Garding won the 100yard butterfly in 1:11.07, a split-second faster than her previous career-best time, and the 500-yard freestyle in 6:01.19.

Zook, who placed fifth in the state last season in the 100-yard breaststroke, swam 1:17.87 in the event, (she swam 1:14.84 at

state), and the 200-yard individual medley in 2:30.48.

Led by Garding and Zook, the Taft girls, with 248 points, placed third behind La Salle, 297; and Tillamook, 267, and ahead of Seaside, 159; Scappoose, 136; Astoria, 121; and Rainier, 57.

The boys, with 84 points, placed last behind La Salle, 340; Seaside, 241; Tillamook, 219; Rainier, 189; Astoria, 111; and Scappoose, 100.

The Tigers were without senior Cammeron Kelso, who was taking college entrance exams.

Freshmen Eva Barten on the girls side also skipped the meet.

However, Taft was lifted greatly by the initial efforts of other freshmen, including Justin Delfin, Dylan Mickelson, Madison Garding and John Paul Flores, Parker said.

“The freshmen such as Justin, Dylan, Madison and John Paul Flores had some great time drops,” she said.

Madison Garding placed second in the 100 free and third in the 200 IM to lead the way for the freshmen girls.

The girls also were second in both the 200yard medley relay behind Marlee Garding (fly), Zook (breast) and fellow seniors

Brittney Knight (backstroke) and Kassie Gile (free) and the 400 free with Madison Garding swimming in place of Knight.

“The A relays for girls were very exciting and close,” Parker said. as the Tigers placed second to Seaside in the 200 medley relay by five one-

hundredths of a second and to La Salle in the 400 free relay by less than two seconds.

In addition to Delfin, Mickelson and Madison Garding, other top-10 individual finishers included sophomores Averi AffeldAnderson and Shawna Harskjold, and seniors Shawn Howell, Knight and Gile.

With 20, Taft had the second smallest contingent of swimmers at the meet and the second fewest number of entries into the 22 events.

“Numbers are always a factor for scoring,” Parker said.

The Tigers were scheduled to compete Tuesday, Dec. 4, in a three-way meet at Newport (past The News Guard’s deadline).

Birders, gardeners and so much more Unsung Heroes

By Janet Anderson

A couple of weeks ago, at our front yard bird feeder, there was a fairly large group of new little birds. They were completely social, hanging out together, moving as one large organism. There must have 30 or 40 of them. What in the world were they? They were not the usual goldfinches that we see so often with their bright shining golden plumage that come in for the nyjer thistle seeds that are in the sock feeder.

They were brown/white/black and moved very fast.

Caren Willoughby and Laura Doyle will know the answer, I told myself. These two women, along with their friend Patty Sorensen, are making quite a name for themselves in the birding world of Lincoln City. They are avid gardeners and participate with the Ocean Spray Garden Club here in Lincoln City. They all live in excellent birding areas – two on Devil’s Lake, the other out on Cascade Head.

At the next garden club meeting, sure enough Patty told us that there are currently large flocks of pine siskins migrating through the Lincoln City area. As she described the noisy, interesting flocks of little birds, several of us began to nod our heads and tell our stories. Birding is an active part of the gardening world.

Many of us try to create birdfriendly habitats through specialized feeders and planting specific plants that certain birds like.

Caren, Laura, and Patty have just completed teaching a Birding Basics course for Oregon Coast Community College. They limited the class to 15 and had a waiting list so there will be another beginning class in January.

In addition, if that weren’t enough, they also teach birding basics in elementary schools in the area. They went to East Elementary in Tillamook to teach one course. They returned in a couple of weeks to complete the instruction. As they walked into the building, art projects filled the school’s halls with children’s paintings and drawings of birds inspired by Audubon prints. If you have ever seen this type of art show, you know how important and beautiful they are. Teachers had also been diligent about using the birding books as guides.

Since 2007 fifth grade classes in Tillamook and Lincoln Counties (East Elementary, Oceanlake, Taft, Siletz, and Newton Magnet) have also been recipients of their time and knowledge. The presentation is tied to the state goal of Adaptation: “Wild About Birds” is an Audubon national program that is adapted to the classroom. The first class is one hour that includes bird basics, anatomy, how to identify birds and how birds adapt. The second session has students learning about field guides (Stokes Field Guide to Birds: Western Region) and binoculars. Students are taught how to effectively use these tools. The class leaders ask the students to submit questions to them about birds in one class. They take these questions, provide answers to every one, and return the information to the class. Each child has their question answered. If other fifth grade classes are interested this group is open to teaching classes.

Caren, Laura, and Patty have all been teachers in their careers so the importance and joy of working in the schools is an added bonus for everyone: teachers, students, staff, and Patty, Laura, and Caren. When I look around the volunteering world I am impressed with the number of retired teachers who continue to give to their communities in many, many different ways. Kudos to all of them.

The Audubon Society of Lincoln City plays a huge role in their lives. They are all members and participate in many activities.

Once a month, on the second Saturday, at 9 a.m., there is a birding activity directed by the Lincoln County Audubon Society. Beginners are welcome. Guidebooks and binoculars are supplied if you do not have them. For more information visit the website at lincolncityaudubon.org. Information about field trips and bird lists are there.

T

on 51st Street he Miracle on 51st Street returns to the Taft Area this Ssturday, with Santa and Mrs. Claus and the Lighting of the

Dock.

The jolly couple will start at 4 p.m. Dec. 8 at the Christmas Cottage in the Nelscott Strip, though they will only begin their journey there and won’t be meeting with children. Santa and Mrs. Claus will climb aboard their red sleigh, or in this case one of North Lincoln Fire and Rescue’s fire trucks,

and with the help of Roundabouts for Veterans and community members, make their way to Mo’s Restaurant on S.W. 51st Street.

The Bay Area Merchants Association will greet the Clauses and will once again put Taft in a festive mood with the Lighting of the Dock at Mo’s Restaurant.

Mo’s will provide the electricity to keep the display lit for the holiday season.

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available in their decorated trailer to hear Christmas wishes and

hand out candy canes. Photos will be available for a donation of two cans of food; cash donations are also accepted. The food collected from this event will go to local food banks.

The Bay Area Merchants Association (BAMA) promotes and encourages economic prosperity and growth by supporting local businesses, community nonprofits, promoting tourism and preserving the unique character of the Siletz Bay area.

Roundabouts for Veterans

& Community are a local group that helps local veterans and the Lincoln City community. They were formed in 2007 and started the annual Miracle on 51st Street that same year.

For more information, contact Mary Jarvis, BAMA Secretary, at 541-614-0771 or starfishframing@ gmail.com or Stephanie Franklin, BAMA treasurer & member of Roundabouts for Veterans & Community, at 541-961-3065 or email bama.treasurer97367@ gmail.com.

Prepare for the Coastal Gardening Season

Devils Lake Concert Series hosts pianist for holiday concert Dec. 7 The inaugural Devils Lake Community Concert Series kicks off its 2012-13 season with pianist Jason Farham, performing at 7 p.m. Dec. 7 at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy 101.

Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Some say Farnham is a contemporary Victor Borge, while others call him “Schroeder” from Peanuts. But audiences agree that his take on classics are refreshing, entertaining and amusing.

For his December concert in Lincoln City, he promises originals like “Calyps-O Christmas Tree” and “I Got the Jingle Bells Blues,” as well as a carol singalong. In between, you’ll hear his dance-mix arrangement of “Fur Elise” (aka “Fur God Sakes Elise, Let’s Dance”) and his bossa-novasamba fusion of “Autumn Leaves.”

Did we mention his toy piano?

The five concert series, which concludes in May, aims to please

varying tastes, from traditional Celtic music, a brass quintet, chamber music and more. Buy the whole season and save 20-percent off individual ticket prices.

A subscription to all five concerts is $90. Individual concert tickets are $20 in advance or $25 the day of show, and free for children 12 and younger with a purchase of an adult ticket.

For more information, call 541-994-9994.

Registration is under way and class size limited, so register early. Deadline is December 14.

Classes held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Oregon Coast Community College beginning January 15, 2013.

Orientation Session January 10.

A couple of partial scholarships are available. Remember no experience needed, just a desire to learn coastal gardening.

For more information about classes, call Lincoln County Extension Office at 541-5746534 or stop by the Extension Office at 29 S.E. 2nd St., Newport (across from the Senior Center and Newport Recreation Center) or visit the website for program details, registration packet and class schedule at http://extension.oregonstate.edu/lincoln/ master_gardeners.

Horticulture instructors from Oregon State University, local county specialists and experienced gardening experts will share their insights on topics such as: Natives, Invasives, Botany, Pruning, Seed Starting and Propagation, Soils, Composting, Edible Fruits, Organic Gardening, Conifer and Plant ID, Plant Diseases and Diagnostics to name just a few.

Fashion show fundraiser for mammography services The holiday season will once again come to life with the 21st annual Snowflake Fashion Show in Lincoln City Dec. 5.

This annual event will feature a buffet dinner, no host bar and as always, fabulous raffle prizes generously donated by community merchants and individuals.

Locals will be modeling close to 50 outfits, featuring fashions from Oregon Surf Shop, Rue 21, Pendleton, The Red Cock, Coldwater Creek and Maurices. New this year, Vivienne Brielle will be showcasing couture, original wedding gowns by the Cascade Head designer.

The event will be held adjacent to the Lincoln City Community Center at the Oceanlake Elks

Lodge, 2026 NE 22nd Street. Sponsored once again by the Snowflake Revisited committee, proceeds benefit the Snowflake Mammography Fund at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital Foundation, to provide mammography vouchers for community members in need. The event annually raises thousands of dollars for the cause.

Area beauty school students are doing the models’ hair and makeup. Many businesses donated items and services to the raffle, and Quality Printing provided promotional posters at no charge.

“People are just so wonderfully generous in this town,” said organizer Laurel Dannen, owner of the Red Cock.

Dannen started the show as a

promotional event for her store.

Over time, the fashion show grew into a larger event, with multiple stores’ fashion on display.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. A buffet dinner begins at 6 p.m., and the fashion show begins at 7 p.m.

Food is being provided by Pier 101 and Blackfish Cafe, and Kenny’s IGA is providing meat and vegetarian lasagna. Models will walk among the tables so everyone has a good view of the show.

Tickets are limited, and the last few years have sold out, so get yours early. For more information, call any of these committee members Laurel Dannen at 541-994-2518, Ruth Martell at 541-921-5887, or Taliatha Henry at 541-921-1381.
