Teachers rally in principal’s defense JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Several Taft High 7-12 teachers, saying they represent the feelings of up to 90 percent of the school’s faculty and staff, have rallied in support of former Principal Scott Reed, who was recently reassigned to an administrative position within the Lincoln County School District. Emphasizing they will

take Reed’s imprint on the school with them into the future in continuing to make it stronger, nearly 10 Scott Reed teachers recently assembled or commented via text messages to support

Reed’s tenure as principal after five years of documented academic and behavioral growth. At the same time, they said they overwhelmingly support incoming Principal Majalise Tolan, a former associate principal at Taft who many have worked with. They also praised the administrative teamwork of assistant principals Tania Tucker, who has been reassigned to

Tolan’s position as principal of Newport Intermediate/ Isaac Newton Middle School, and Ryan Hawkins, who resigned effective Aug. 5 to take an elementary school principal position with the Sumner School District in Washington. “When we left in June, we had the entire District tell us what a great job we’d done, that they were leaving our administrative team

in place,” social studies and English teacher Barton Howe said. “Even people from other schools couldn’t believe what we’d done and the atmosphere we’d created.” At the heart of the matter, teachers said, appears to be Reed’s internal handling of the theft of a commemorative plaque at the school’s See REED, Page A9

Lincoln County officials are taking the results of a Community Health Assessment to the public during a presentation from 10 a.m. to noon, Wednesday, Aug. 14 at the Oregon Coast Community College Community Room at 400 S.E. College Way. The assessment about overall health and well being of county residents has been underway since 2012, led by Lincoln County Public Health Division in partnership with interested community organizations and volunteers. Rebecca Austen, Lincoln County Public Health director said the assessment shows her that more has to be done for the county’s younger residents. “We need to do a better job for our children,” said Austen. “When I looked over the results of this assessment I felt a sinking feeling. We have many pool kids and many hungry kids inn Lincoln County. We can do better.” The assessment offers key points:

Doughnut shop’s closure to leave hole JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Local residents who have grown accustomed to putting a little sugar in their morning will find the going a lot less sweeter shortly after Labor Day weekend when Henry’s Lighthouse Donuts closes its doors after serving the Lincoln City community for nearly a decade. “The risks aren’t worth the rewards anymore,” owner Henry Quandt said of his decision to shut down the popular doughnut shop at 4157 N.W.

One man, three horses on journey for the Lord JEREMY C. RUARK The News Guard

This is the third time Mishler and his three horses have made the journey along the Oregon Coast. He first began his ride in Choteau, Montana, in 2002 after being diagnosed with cancer in 1996. “That changed my whole life,” he said. This trip is the first northbound along the West Coast for Mishler, who started his latest ride earlier this summer from Southern California.

It’s not every day you see a lone horse rider trailed by two packhorses slowly riding along Highway 101, but that’s what drivers encountered Aug. 8 at Gleneden Beach. T. Lawrencce “Doc” Mishler, 77, is on a mission traveling around the nation on horseback to raise awareness about feeding hungry children.

His journey took him across the Nevada desert and through downtown Las Vegas. The weather was so hot when he rode into Las Vegas in late June that Mishler had to get a trailer to take his horses out of the area. “You can ride into hell, but you can’t ride out,” he said. Mishler’s love for horses and for riding began while growing\up on a farm in Indiana. He travels with

three horses, Charity, Chief Free Spirit, and Justice. Mishler said he is riding for Jesus, and all along his route he is passing out his letter of commitment explaining the need to feed the children. “We’ve all seen what the devil can do, now lets see what Jesus can do,” said Mishler. Mishler said folks along the way provide him and his horses with

food and places to rest. That kindness is helping him maintain his faith and continue his journey. Mishler said he has no plans to stop riding. “I never know where I will go next or where I will get my next meal, but God has a plan for me,” he said.

Police action catches more traffic violators the enforcement,” said Winn. “We hope the people that get cited and others that see the drivers getting pulled over will think about this and follow the traffic safety rules.” One more Pedestrian Enforcement Operation is planned for early September. Lincoln City Police will also be mounting patrols to enforce school zone traffic regulations during the beginning of the school year in September.

Lincoln City Police officers frequently find drivers who are texting or using their cell phones while driving, a violation of the law. Officers said that activity is a dangerous driving distraction.

“This is what happens and why people get hit in the crosswalks and why

vehicles get rear ended,” said Sgt. Jeffrey Winn. “Because people are texting or talking on their cell phones and not paying attention.” Winn said the latest enforcement operation was challenging because of the heavy flow of traffic. “Motorists get frustrated when the traffic backs up,” said Winn. “We have to be careful when our patrol cars pull out onto the highway to pursue violators that we don’t get into crashes.”

hen you are driving a car, you are operating a couple thousand pounds of pure death and that can change someone’s life in the blink of an eye.

“

Lincoln City Police officers issued 13 citations for crosswalk and traffic violations during the latest Pedestrian Enforcement Operation, conducted Aug. 9. Fines for failing to stop for a pedestrian in a crosswalk or for passing other cars stopped for a pedestrian are $260 each. The operation is an effort to raise awareness through education and enforcement of pedestrian right-of-way laws. The police action included a reserve officer crossing the intersection at 11th Street and Highway 101 several times between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Other officers were stationed in patrol vehicles a few blocks away on both sides on the highway. Another police officer at 11th Street and Highway 101 coordinated the enforcement using his two-way radio to alert the patrol cars to the description of the vehicle in violation. Logan Smith, Lincoln City patrol officer, said the most frequent violations are drivers in the second traffic lane who do not stop as the pedestrian is walking across Highway 101. Smith said many drivers just don’t pay careful attention when they are behind the wheel. “When you are driving a car, you are operating a couple thousand pounds of pure death and that can change someone’s life in the blink of an eye,” Smith said.

The Aug. 10 Pedestrian Enforcement Operation was the second this summer. On July 22, officers conducted similar enforcement at 3rd Street and Highway 101. During that enforcement, police issued 17 citations to drivers. Winn said the grantfunded enforcement operations are making a difference. “I think they make a difference for people thinking right now about

Schrader: Get ready for frustration and angst “ T

U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader is urging everyone to be ready for the Affordable Health Care Act. “Get ready for a lot of frustration and angst,” said Schrader as he addressed the Lincoln City Rotary Club and outlined the looming federal plan that takes effect October 1 and that requires all Americans to buy health care. “You better be very aware. You need to talk to your insurance agent. Go online. Get informed and make sure you sign up.” Schrader said there will be “some great opportunities to make health care a little more affordable,” but he also urged people to be patient. “There are going to be problems as we get this whole thing up and going,” he said. “It is a major enterprise.” During his presentation before Rotarians Aug. 7, Schrader outlined the health care premium cost options for individuals, which range d- from $130 to $808, depending on the age of the individs ual and the benefits selected. Schrader said one of the to key parts of the plan are subsidies offered to individuals. o “That’s real important,” he said. “Most people don’t ,” realize that you will only have to pay a portion of the ook. rates posted. This whole thing has been set up to be affordable for low- and middle-income Americans with subsidies of 50 to 90 percent of the health care premium.” He said all Americans will eventually pay for the subsidies through taxes and that the health care legislation will reduce the national deficit. Schrader also urged business owners to carefully review the health care plan and deductions that they might qualify for. “Make sure you understand what you’re getting into,” said Schrader. “Your business may qualify for tax credits.” Schrader encourages anyone to call his office if they have questions, problems or concerns about the federal health care plan. Later in the day, Schrader took a walking tour of the Villages at Cascade Head property with Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson. The City recently purchased the 363 acres for $2.5 million. “It is pretty awesome,” said Schrader. “This is very unique. I think people who walk around this area will all get the same wow.” Schrader said Lincoln

- U.S. Rep. Kurt Schrader City residents gained multiple purposes with the purchase of the Villages and two specific advantages. “One is a tremendous open space for generations to come and it will be a legacy to Lincoln City,” said Schrader. “Secondly, this is a way to put some tax base back into the city coffers. It is really important to have affordable property for people who live, work and play here.” Anderson said having Schrader view the property is part of an effort to develop affordable housing in Lincoln City. “We began discussions about the housing issue several months ago,” said Anderson. Schrader said he would be willing to help the City apply for federal grants to help with the development. Schrader also toured the North Lincoln Fire &

Rescue District #1 station at Taft. During the tour, he commended the district’s volunteers. “The real world is the volunteers don’t just volunteer once a week to go out on an emergency; they are there three and four days a week spending significant amount of time training and then they go out on a fire or other emergency,” said Schrader. “The amount of time they give is unbelievable.” Schrader said Lincoln County is lucky to have a fire district that offers full services. While on the tour, Schrader suited up with protective gear and took a ride on the district’s ladder truck. He rode the 102-foot ladder to the top of the Taft Station training tower. “It was a smooth ride up and back,“ he said.

Lincoln County Health and Human Services, Public Health Division, has recently completed a countywide Community Health Assessment (CHA) in partnership with many dedicated community organizations and agencies, leaders, and residents. The CHA process engaged a wide representation of key individuals who shared their personal and professional knowledge while committing to help develop health improvement strategies suitable for Lincoln County. This CHA could not have happened without these established relationships that have developed through collaborative efforts over the years.

A CHA helps to determine the health status of a community while identifying community assets and resources already in place. Conducting such an assessment will assist community residents and organizations in prioritizing health problems and build upon ongoing community efforts for health improvement. Lincoln County Public Health conducted this Community Health Assessment to help address how healthy are we as a community. The results will help guide additional planned public health initiatives, including the next step, a Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP). By following up with a CHIP, we can then address what improvements we want to make and how to do it. By answer-

ing these questions, we can make informed decisions on a variety of health initiatives, including current health care transformation efforts conducted by our local Coordinated Care Organization. Lincoln County Health and Human Services, Public Health Division learned that there are many areas of health in our county that need to be looked at closer, especially around tobacco use rates, high school graduation rates, child care availability, mental health services, and high obesity and cancer rates, among other concerns. Lincoln County’s Public Health Division plans to use the results to guide efforts in determining health priorities in the coming years, while working alongside

community partners invested in improving health. It is also hoped that interested community organizations, agencies, and local leaders will utilize this CHA as a tool when planning and establishing priorities and programs relevant to the populations they serve. The CHA will soon be posted on the Lincoln County Health and Human Services’ webpage at www.lincolncountyhealth.com. For more information, contact Lincoln County Public Health at 541-265-0400. Julia Young-Lorion is the Health Education coordinator for Lincoln County Health and Human Services. She can be reached at 541-265-0400.

What to do about missing children The first 48 hours following the disappearance of a child are the most critical in finding and returning that child safely home - but they can also be the most troublesome and chaotic. Even if more than 48 hours have passed since your child disappeared, you should still try to tend to these items as quickly as possible. This information will give you a better understanding of what you should be doing and why.

The first 24 hours • Immediately report your child as missing to your local law enforcement agency • Limit access to your home until law enforcement arrives and has collected possible evidence. Do not touch or remove anything from your child’s room or from your home. Remember that clothing; sheets, personal items, computers, and even trash may hold clues to the whereabouts of your child. • Give law enforcement investigators all the facts and circumstances related to the disappearance of your child, including what efforts have already been made to search for your child. • Write a detailed description of the clothing worn by your child and the personal items he or she had at the time of the disappearance. Include in your description any personal identification marks, such as birthmarks, scars, tattoos, or mannerisms that may help in finding your

Sheriff’s Tips By Sheriff Dennis Dotson child. If possible, find a picture of your child that shows these identification marks and give it to law enforcement. • Make a list of friends, acquaintances, and anyone else who might have information or clues about your child’s whereabouts. Include telephone numbers and addresses, if possible. Tell your law enforcement investigator about anyone who moved in or out of the neighborhood within the past year, anyone whose interest in or involvement with the family changed in recent months, and anyone who appeared to be overly interested in your child. • Find recent photographs of your child in both black and white and color. Make copies of these pictures for your law enforcement agency, which will coordinate distribution with the media, the State Missing Children’s Clearinghouse, and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). • Work with your law enforcement agency to schedule media releases and media events. If necessary, ask someone close to you to serve as your media spokesperson. • Designate one person

to answer your telephone. Keep a notebook or pad of paper by the telephone so this person can jot down names, telephone numbers, dates and times of calls, and other information relating to each call. • Keep a notebook or pad of paper with you at all times to write down your thoughts or questions and record important information, such as names, dates, or telephone numbers. • Take good care of yourself and your family, because your child needs you to be strong. As hard as it may be, force yourself to get rest, eat nourishing food, and talk to someone about your tumultuous feelings.

The second 24 hours • Talk with your law

enforcement investigator about the steps that are being taken to find your child. Your law enforcement investigator can contact the Crimes Against Children Coordinator in the local FBI Field Office to obtain a copy of the FBI’s Child Abduction Response Plan. • Expand your list of friends, acquaintances, extended family members, yard workers, delivery persons, and anyone who may have seen your child during or following the abduction. • Look at personal calendars, community events calendars, and newspapers to see if there are any clues as to who was in the vicinity and might be the abductor or a possible witness. Give this information to law enforcement.

• Work with your law enforcement agency to continue scheduled media releases and media events. • Report all extortion attempts to law enforcement. • Take care of yourself. Don’t be afraid to ask others to take care of your physical and emotional needs and those of your family. • Make a list of things that volunteers can do for you and your family. • Call your child’s doctor and dentist and ask for copies of medical records and x-rays. Give them to law enforcement. For more tips and other information, visit our website at www.lincolncountysheriff.net and Like us on Facebook at Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office – Oregon.

‘Stuff A Bus’ to collect school supplies for kids Purchasing school supplies for children at the beginning of the year can be a burden for some parents. Fortunately, the annual “Stuff A Bus” campaign ensures that students have access to the tools they need to learn. In Lincoln City, “Stuff A Bus” donations will be collected from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 30, at Tanger Outlet Center. As in the past, Mid-Columbia Bus Co. donated use of a school bus for the day. Those wishing to make a donation may pick up a shopping bag at one of the following Lincoln City locations: City Hall, Driftwood Public Library, Price-N-Pride, Les Schwab Tire Center, Tanger Outlet Center office, many local churches, including Coast Vineyard Christian Fellowship, Congregational Church, St. James Episcopal Church, and other local businesses such as Wells Fargo, West Coast Bank, TLC Credit Union, Washington Federal, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Gallucci’s Pizzeria, and KBCH Radio.

We Do More Than Just Taxes

Council moving to establish Devils Lake sewer system - Dick Anderson, Lincoln City mayor for by the new user where the system is going,” said Anderson. “But I have always said there is some obligation by the entire community to help with the cost of the sewer because the lake is a community asset. The Council has helped finance other projects like roads where we have paid a certain amount to convert a gravel road to a paved road. I see the same concept here. There are many financial options available that could make the costs much more realistic.” The Council began discussions of a City septic tank inspection program several weeks ago to deal with increasing concerns about some of the tanks leaking into Devils Lake. The inspection system would help the City determine which tanks are leaking. The Council also discussed establishing safety regulations for Vacation Rental Dwellings (VRDs). Hawker outlined his recommendations that include smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, egress windows in sleeping areas or multiple exits, location of electrical panel displayed, no exposed wiring or missing cover plates ground

fault interrupters near sinks and wet locations, no obvious tripping hazards, minimum guardrail on decks and stairs, and that the building meets the code in force when constructed. “I am recommending the most life threatening and least expensive safety regulations,” said Hawker. The Council agreed to continue discussing the proposed regulations at a future meeting. Hawker also informed the Council that the Oregon Employment Department would be closing its office at Lincoln City City Hall at the end of this month due to state budget reductions. The office will be consolidated with the department’s Newport office. “We are questioning the rational of the state’s budget cut decisions that impact Lincoln City,” said Anderson. “We want to provide the employment department’s needed services to our citizens.” Tom Fuller, Oregon Employment Department communications manager, said Lincoln City residents still have options when they need such services. “We encourage job seekers to use the web at www.Work-

The Council also heard a presentation from Barton Howe, Taft High 7-12 teacher, about Faces of Taft, a project by students to tell the story of the high school. “We really want to build community discussion about where we want Taft to go,” said Howe. “During this project there was student tears and laughter as they began to work on ways to change the school and they ended up changing themselves.” A public presentation of the project is expected in the next few weeks.

The Lincoln City City Council might soon take action to establish a sewer system around Devils Lake as a proactive step to improve the health of the lake. But the Council is also looking at establishing a septic tank inspection system to be on standby as an incentive to property owners. “I am ready to roll with the inspections, but I need to drag the sewers along,” said Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson during the Aug. 12 regular Council meeting. “The City inspections would be a leverage of trying to encourage people who know their septic tank systems are bad. If we go through an inspection system, they will have to fix their systems and in the meantime we are trying to move sewer as well.” City Manager David Hawker estimated a sewer system for the lake could cost $5 million, a much lower price compared with estimated costs of $30 to $40 million a few years ago. Anderson said the cost for the sewer system has decreased because of new technology and innovations. The Council hopes to review specific costs for the sewer system in the next few weeks. “We have had so many trial runs with the sewer system, people are fearful that the sewer system would advance only so far and then drop away and you are behind the times with the inspections so you go through what we have been through for the last four years,” Anderson said. “I am suggesting we make sure the inspection process is ready to go so we don’t have to waste four more years and we still try to advance the sewer based on the new information. If it fails for any reason then the City can immediately drop in the septic inspection process.” The City Council did not have a clear idea of just how the sewer system would be funded. “Typically, they are paid

Five chicks, adult male rescued, rehabilitated, released

“

ur goal at the Aquarium was to raise the chicks to be healthy and strong, to give them the best chance of survival out on the beach.

“

Five abandoned snowy plover chicks and a rehabilitated adult male were released back to the wild Aug. 9, in the Bandon State Natural Area by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and partners. The birds, federally and state listed as threatened, were rescued in early July by plover monitors from the Institute for Natural Resources, Portland State University and U.S. Forest Service staff. A father and two chicks were rescued on the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area after plover monitors discovered that the father was gravely injured and the mother had disappeared. The other three chicks were recovered while hatching from a nest in the Bandon area. The parents of the Bandon area nest had disappeared from unknown causes. Biologists hope to add vital information on how to treat plovers and restore plover populations, according to Laura Todd, Field Supervisor, Newport Field Office of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service. “As our populations increase and our monitoring efforts continue, we are likely to see the occasional orphaned nest or injured adult,” said Todd. “Rehabilitation efforts not only save individuals of a vulnerable plover population but also teach us how to best treat and house the birds if we ever need to respond to a more

catastrophic event.” The Oregon Coast Aquarium cared for the birds following their rescue. “Our goal at the Aquarium was to raise the chicks to be healthy and strong, to give them the best chance of survival out on the beach,” said CJ McCarty, Oregon Coast Aquarium curator of birds. “The Service will release the two groups of chicks back to the specific beaches where they were found.” McCarty said the aviculture and veterinary staff were particularly pleased with the

adult plover’s recovery. “He came in with a pretty poor prognosis, and now we are looking forward to his release,” said McCarty. “For the Aquarium and the bird staff, “Supporting the plover recovery program in this way is a real privilege.” Such recovery efforts are only possible with the assistance and support of a team of dedicated partners, officials said. An exemplary partner, Pets on Broadway, quickly provided overnight supplies of food for the birds

at a reduced cost. The Fish and Wildlife Service, U.S. Forest Service, Oregon Coast Aquarium and Institute for Natural Resources shared costs of maintaining, transporting, and monitoring the rehabilitation and release.

He enjoyed his family and friends and loved his Sunday barbeques. He was a great teacher-even to the end, he was still teaching life lessons. He enjoyed visiting Maui with mom, friends and family and talked often of going back.

Three of the five rescued snowy plover chicks.

Recent counts indicate about 290 adult birds are in Oregon, an increase from a record low 28 birds in 1992. The main reason for their decline was loss of habitat and predation. Snowy plovers need flat continuous areas of sand with no grass. They used to inhabit Oregon’s beaches up and down the coastline, but developments and beach grass have destroyed much of their habitat and increased predator numbers. Recovery efforts since the 1990’s have dramatically increased the population in Oregon, with current levels near recovery goals in Oregon and Washington. The Oregon Coast Aquarium receives no ongoing governmental support and relies on visitor-related revenues, grants, and donations to finance its annual operations, including its wildlife rehabilitation activities. Additional funding for these projects comes directly out of the money budgeted for the care of the Aquarium’s 15,000 marine animals.

Several arrests made in county narcotics investigations Two investigations by the Lincoln Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT) have led to several arrests in Lincoln County. In the first case, six people were arrested Aug. 5 following a methamphetamine-related investigation by the LINT in Newport as LINT detectives and Newport Police Department served a search warrant at a Newport-area motel following an investigation into a complaint that several people were frequenting a room. While executing the search warrant, investigators seized over a quarter of an ounce of methamphetamine, other evidence, and a bicycle valued at $1,000 that had been reported stolen in July from a camper at South Beach State Park. The following five suspects were in the motel room and ar-

rested: • Heather Lyn Jellison, 39, was arrested for unlawful possession and manufacture of a controlled substance — methamphetamine • Brandy Sanchez, 34, was arrested on an outstanding warrant for failure to appear with bail listed at $2 million • Nicolas James Wright, 33, was arrested for unlawful delivery, possession and manufacture of a controlled substance — methamphetamine • Jerry Creek Sewell, 35, was arrested for frequenting a place where controlled substances are kept or sold • Jamie Renee Turk, 20, who was in the room before police arrived, was arrested for probation violation by Newport Police Department.

Based upon information developed, LINT detectives and Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers set up surveillance for a person who was en route from Toledo to Newport to deliver methamphetamine. The vehicle was spotted and stopped in Newport on Coos Street north of Highway 20. The female driver and male passenger was contacted and further investigation led to the discovery of more than five grams of methamphetamine and cash. The male passenger, David Almada, 40, from Salem, was arrested for unlawful possession, delivery, and manufacture of a controlled substance — methamphetamine. The woman was not arrested. In the second case, four people were arrested July 30, related to an investigation and search

warrant service at 426 S.W. 2nd Street, Apartment #9, in Newport. LINT detectives, Newport Police Department, and Lincoln County Animal Control went to the apartment and seized a small amount of methamphetamine, along with associated evidence. Animal control personnel removed a large number of cats, two dogs and an exotic bird. Two people were arrested at the apartment, identified as Kenna Jean Davidson, 41, and Jack Lee Nelson, 45. They are being charged with unlawful delivery and possession of a controlled substance — methamphetamine, and child neglect in the first degree. A teenage girl was living with the suspects, so Department of Human Services was notified for follow up.

Information developed during the investigation indicated a person was traveling to the coastal area to deliver methamphetamine. LINT detectives and OSP troopers set up surveillance and spotted the vehicle in Eddyville. After stopping the vehicle, LINT detectives seized over an ounce of methamphetamine and arrested Randy Ray Miller, 56, and Lisa Marie Lamastus, 32, from Wilsonville. A Newport K-9 unit assisted during the traffic stop and arrest. Further investigation is continuing related to both cases. LINT is comprised of members from Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Lincoln City Police Department, Newport Police Department, Oregon State Police, and Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office.

Authorities warn of locksmith scam operating in Oregon “W

orking as a locksmith without proper Oregon certification is illegal.

“

The Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Construction Contractors Board (CCB) are warning citizens to be on the alert for bogus locksmiths. Complaints to the DOJ and CCB reveal that several locksmith companies, all using similar methods, are significantly overcharging consumers, charging consumers for unnecessary services, using intimidation tactics, and failing to give refunds or respond to consumer complaints. “You may be quoted a price on the phone, but when the locksmith arrives, often in an unmarked vehicle, he often wants significantly more money or claims to only accept payment in cash,” Oregon Attorney General Ellen Rosenblum said. The following is a typical scenario for a lock-

smith scam. When a Beaverton woman called the first number that popped up in her Google search, she thought she had reached a local locksmith. But when the man on the other end asked her if she was calling from Portland, Maine, she knew something was wrong. And it only got worse from there. The “locksmith” arrived in a van clearly identified as associated with a company other than the one she had called and he

wanted to charge her more than twice the amount she was quoted on the phone. Fearing she was being scammed, she called another locksmith only to learn the “locksmith” standing next to her car was a fraud. The going rate to unlock her car, according to this legitimate locksmith, $80; not the $139 this “locksmith” was demanding. “It is very important to know who you are doing business with before hir-

ing a locksmith,” said Rich Blank, CCB enforcement manager. “There is a large number of fake addresses and phone numbers on the Internet, crowding out the good guys. Legitimate locksmiths in Oregon have passed a certification exam and undergone a criminal background check. Working as a locksmith without proper Oregon certification is illegal.” To help you protect yourself, the DOJ and CCB urge you to follow these tips: • Find a certified locksmith before you need one. Don’t just sign-on with the first listing in a Google search. Get references from the CCB online at https://ccbed.ccb.state. or.us/ccb_frames/consumer_info/. • Once you’ve found a reputable locksmith,

keep the company’s name and contact information in your phone, wallet, or address book at home or at work. • Avoid any company that answers the phone with a generic phrase such as “locksmith services” rather than with a specific company name. • Be wary of locksmiths who arrive in unmarked

vehicles. Legitimate locksmiths usually have a vehicle with the company name. • Ask for an ID with name and address. Oregon requires that on all service calls locksmiths carry proof that they are license • Get a written estimate on company letterhead, with mileage charges, minimums and other fees, before work begins. Get a receipt after you pay. • If you’re told the lock has to be drilled and replaced, find another locksmith. Experienced and legitimate locksmiths can unlock almost any door.

Second person dies following Highway 101 traffic crash Oregon State Police (OSP) report a second person has died following an Aug. 4, fatal traffic crash that occurred on Highway 101 north of Lincoln City. Mildred M. Kauffman, 89, from Lincoln City, was a passenger in one of the vehicles and died following treatment for serious injuries. OSP investigators said the crash occurred at approximately 6:45 p.m. when a 2001 Cadillac Deville driven by Patty A. Weissenfluh, 58, from Depoe Bay, was southbound on Highway 101 near milepost 111 traveling through a right curve when it crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a northbound 2012 Kia Soul driven by Donna Jeanne Ball, 71, from Salem. Ball was transported by

REACH air ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland where she died after about four hours after the crash. A passenger in the Kia, William Lee Ball Sr., 74, from Salem, was transported by PACWEST ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center with serious injuries. Weissenfluh was transported by REACH air ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center with critical injuries. Kaiffman, a passenger in the Cadillac, was transported by PACWEST ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center with serious injuries. All occupants were using safety restraints. Upon completion, the investigation will be reviewed by the Lincoln County District Attorneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office for

consideration of possible enforcement action. The highway was closed over four hours with a detour in place for vehicles. While investigators said the Aug. 4 collision was caused by a vehicle crossing the centerline, the area of the crash remains a concern for local and state officials who are planning a $3.29 million improvement project for the East Devils Lake Road, Highway 101 intersection. In 2010, the intersection was among the top 10 percent of crash locations for either severity or crash frequency in the state. A design for the improvement project is expected later this summer. Construction for the project is slated for 2015.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Community Birthday Calendarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; continues on with tradition When the North Lincoln Lions Club disbanded earlier this year, it appeared the annual â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community Birthday Calendarâ&#x20AC;? would cease publication. For 59 years, the calendar was an ongoing fundraiser for the Lions and a staple in local homes and businesses with daily reminders of birthdays, anniversaries, memorials and meeting dates. The Lincoln City Community Center has

taken on the project as a fundraiser for their Youth Scholarship program, which enables children ages 2-16 to participate in recreation activities at little or no cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We thought the calendar was too important to the community to let it go away,â&#x20AC;? Gail Kimberling, Community Center director, explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In addition to keeping the tradition alive, this project will help generate much-needed

revenue for our Youth Scholarship program.â&#x20AC;? Individual and business sponsorships are now available for the Community Birthday Calendar. The cost is $10 for birthday and anniversary listings for an immediate family; $50 for a black and white business display ad; or $100 for a color business display ad. The calendar will be published in October 2013. The deadline for sponsor-

CERT takes tsunami outreach door to door JEREMY C. RUARK The News Guard

Members of the North Lincoln County Community Emergency Response Team might be ringing your door bell on Saturday, Aug. 17, in a community tsunami outreach project. The project is a partnership with North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1, going door to door throughout Lincoln City to distribute small green bags filled with tsunami awareness information, including the tsunami map for that area (north or south), the booklet “Living on Shaky Ground,” the brochure of what to do in case of tsunami and a CERT brochure. “We’ll talk with the individuals at each residence just for a minute or two and

leave the information with them,” said Diane Rodriquez, North Lincoln County CERT president. She said the main message to residents is to always be prepared. “The new tsunami maps show areas that are subject to a tsunami from a near-shore earthquake just minutes away and from a distant earthquake that’s many miles and hours away,” said Rodriquez. “These are two very different events, and, in most cases, require different evacuation strategies. People who own or are renting in these areas need to know their risk and what they should do in the event of an earthquake.” Rodriquez said the doorto-door outreach is a direct way to best reach residents. “When we can talk to

an earthquake could mean and how soon a tsunami could arrive,” said Rodriquez. “Whether someone lives in a house full time, rents it out to others or is a renter, you need to know what your risk is and have a plan to move to safety, to go quickly upland and inland. It’s too late to think about this when the event is occurring.” The outreach has opened dialog about what people need to do when an earthquake occurs and what to do in the event of a tsunami. According to Rodriquez, most people aren’t aware that two tsunami inundation zones have been identified on the new maps. The inundation zone for a near-shore earthquake and local tsunami is much larger because a tsunami will arrive with much more force in an

extremely short amount of time. She said many people often think they should get into their cars and try to head out of an inundation zone. “You’ll need to walk quickly to a safe area out of the inundation zone, but leaving town probably won’t be an option because of damage from the earthquake and it really isn’t necessary,” said Rodriquez. “You just need to know where the safest highest ground is near your location. This not only true for your home, but also work or school as well. Families need to talk about this and practice what to do.” Rodriquez said Lincoln County schools are some of the safest places to be during such emergencies because of decades of efforts to make them safe.

Reed education and PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) in key parts of the District. “Has there been a change in heart of Tiana Tucker Scott’s performance to warrant this sudden change? The simple answer is no. I think there is a lot of rumor and gossip happening in some circles that is trying to connect dots that simply are not there or are unconnected.” Virtually unanimous among teachers, and reiterated by the District, is the feeling that great strides have been made at the school behind the leadership of a greatly respected administrator. “Scott Reed is one of the most integral men I have ever met or worked with,” said Susan Smith, who worked alongside Reed for five years at Taft before becoming Taft Elementary School counselor. “In my three years here, I feel like it’s a completely different place,” English teacher Rebecca Dressler said. “Behavior-wise, definitely, and academically, too.” Compassion for people is one of Reed’s greatest qualities, teachers said, and, apparently, an overriding factor in his decision not to pursue litigation against the plaque’s thief. “I have worked for five principals in my life and I have never worked for such an integral man that loved kids more that Scott Reed,” special education teacher Reyla Zumhofe said. “His expectations are high for teachers and for kids, but with that, he is an

uplifting person who always sees people’s strengths, It seems like when everybody has given up on a kid, the last person to give up would be Scott Reed. I’ve never seen him give up on a kid.” Zumhofe said she has seen Reed and his wife, Kim, a teacher at Taft, give money to staff members, drive a couple of hours to pick up bundles of plants to put outside to make the school more attractive and spend time into the wee hours of the morning painting signs promoting school spirit. “Their heart and soul is to put everything toward kids at Taft,” she said. “And, it’s all about kids. If he ever had to make a decision, it’s because it’s the best thing for kids. All I’ve ever seen from him is integrity, hard work and putting the

Two small grass fires last week in the Lincoln City area are a reminder of an early fire season and the danger looming this summer along the Oregon Coast, according to fire officials. Both fires occurred June 5. The first fire charred about an acre of grass 500 feet from Highway 101 along Three Roads Road northeast of Lincoln City. The cause of the blaze is undetermined, as is the second blaze that

Taft student Kahliah Moroyoqua, 9, said the students took action when they learned about the Crestline School fire. “We felt bad that the school burnt down,” said Moroyoqua. “We wanted the kids at that school to feel better, so we got them books to read.” As a part of the Lincoln County

School District project SEAL (Students Engaged in Authentic Learning), Taft teachers selected a project that was of interest and brainstormed ideas for solutions to the problem. “As teachers, our task was to engage students in the project using innovative strategies,” Taft third-grade teacher Micky Willoughby said. “When Crestline

Mortician’s victims paid deeply for losses police chief Mike Holden, isn’t buying that. “Something,” he said, “was amiss with the man.” Omsberg’s death at age 63 last month from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Myrtle Beach, S.C., following an alleged sexual assault seems to confirm suspicions that the man who served just 23 days of a 30-day sentence with time off for good behavior struggled with demons no one can possibly explain. Ironically, a psychiatric evaluation of Omsberg, which then-District Attorney Ulys Stapleton said factored into his negotiations with Omsberg attorney Stephen Lovejoy, indicated the defendant “would probably commit suicide if sentenced to the penitentiary.” Omsberg’s defense argued their client’s “negligent management” in accepting nominal fees for those in need failed to generate enough

At the time, the only state regulations on crematories were Department of Environmental Quality standards for air pollution. The Legislature has since required that bodies be diligently tracked through paperwork and a stainlesssteel tag. Other states followed suit, but efforts of the locally led “Missing in America” campaign brought about a measure of closure for the victims of the gut-wrenching tragedy that left their loved ones’ whereabouts unknown. The repercussions led to a demand to alter what was perceived as an indifferent bureaucracy and reshaped the justice system as it pertains to the funeral industry. Omsberg pleaded guilty to 60 misdemeanor charges of theft, attempted theft and abuse of a corpse and was

I think some of us will never get over it.” Bassett was a leading member among a group of people who wouldn’t let the case die like their relatives had.

school sometimes above his own family because he cares so much for Taft and the kids.” “When it came to the students, Scott advocated with veracity,” Smith said. “Our meetings always focused on the same theme: ‘What’s best for kids.’ He believed that, he taught that, he lived that.” “Wherever Scott goes, he’s going to do amazing things,” said Zumhofe, who said the Reeds coped with the situation by reading scriptures and praying for forgiveness for the perpetrator and for those persecuting him. “The things that Scott has instilled in us are going to stay, and Taft is going to OK. We’re going to do just fine, and we’re going to keep on taking from the examples we’ve been given by him.”

football field and his refusal to prosecute the alleged perpetrator, who they said has offered to make amends by replacing the plaque, donating to the Taft Booster Club and starting a student scholarship. District Superintendent Tom Rinearson denied that Reed’s handling of the case caused him to be reassigned to head the District’s Alternative Education Environments program. “If that were the case, and I acted consistent across the District, every principal would have been replaced,” Rinearson said. “The nature of the principal chair is such that people get angry about decisions you make.” However, the vast majority of staff members and many Taft students questioned the reassignment of Reed so close to the start of the school year after every indication was made that the school was steadfastly moving in the right direction. “People were actually jealous of Taft,” Howe said. “That’s never happened — or not much, anyway — so to find on the heels of that success, that they blew it all up, well, we don’t know their reasoning, and that’s what makes a lot of people up here very angry. We want to know why you haven’t defended your own principal? Why are you letting this man get beaten up in the media? It doesn’t make sense to treat a human being that way.” “I agree with the teachers that the school has made tremendous progress with the team of administrators they had at the helm,” Rinearson said. “The fact that all three of the Taft administrators have moved into roles with greater

responsibility speaks to their talent levels. I also believe the new team at Taft will continue the upward trajectory in student performance we have seen in the Majalise Tolan past five years.” Primarily at issue is the process that led to Reed’s removal. “In any occupation, in any job, you are given markers by which you are measured, and in a school that had been doing poorly and struggling for so long, those benchmarks had to be education,” Howe said. “And we improved on all of those benchmarks.” The teachers placed partial blame on what they consider an ill-conceived perception in Newport, site of LCSD headquarters, regarding the situation at the school. “I guess if I’m sitting in Newport, and I’m reading the Newport stories, I feel like from what people are reading, they sense this huge groundswell against Scott and what’s going on in the school,” Howe said. “But if you’re in this community, you wouldn’t have sensed that at all.” “I think some of this is driven by the Facebook environment and an apparent need by some to make news rather than report news,” Rinearson said. “The decision to move Scott, Tiana and Majalise was made for multiple reasons, including developing more capacity in the District on the administrative team, helping these three continue with their professional goals and putting needed resources in alternative

Darrien Russell, Nathan Wright, Jacob Nelson and Joey Chatelain practice lifesaving procedures last week at the Lincoln City Community Center pool in hopes of becoming certified lifeguards.

Fun at work? Just add water!

JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

If you have to work, why not just mix with a little water? “Who wouldn’t want to be a lifeguard?” a small group of area youth asked in unison last week as they learned how to save lives while enhancing their enjoyment of the water in an attempt at becoming certified lifeguards in an American Red Cross lifeguarding class at the Lincoln City Commu-

nity Center pool. “The purpose of the course is to provide entry-level training for participants,” said Colin Perkins, certified ARC lifeguard and Aquatics lead with the Lincoln City Parks & Recreation Department. “It gives them the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies and to provide care for breathing and cardiac emergencies until emergency medical services personnel can

take over.” Perkins and Aquatics Supervisor Ryan Smith taught the course over the week of Aug. 5-9 thanks, in part, to a grant from the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Charitable Contribution Fund. “We used the “Ultimate VAT Girl,” an water rescue mannequin, during submerged victim rescue training and a new spinal immobilization board for spinal injury training,” Perkins said. Local youth ranging from

high school freshmen to college freshmen participated in the weeklong event under Smith’s and Perkin’s tutelage. “I’m doing this because I just really love the water and I think it’s just going to be very cool being able to keep other people safe doing what I enjoy,” Darrien Russell said. College freshman Joey Chatelain said he is learning the job to become a summer camp lifeguard.

Being in the water is one thing. It was the written portion of the certification process that seemed to concern the students most. While fun, the role of lifeguard bears a great deal of responsibility, they said. “It’s pretty good training tool to be able to know. It can help a lot of people,’ Taft High ninthgrader Nathan Wright said. “I like being in the water, so it will be a fun job.”

Oregon prep sports part of new all-digital network 1. With coverage of boys and girls sports and activities initially in at least 28 states during the 2013-14 school year, the NFHS Network becomes the largest aggregated destination for coverage of high school sports in the country. Through a subscriptionbased digital service available at www.NFHSnetwork.com, more students, parents and fans will be able to watch high school sports than ever before. In addition to the OSAA, NFHS member associations in the following states have finalized agreements and will be a part of the NFHS Network as the 2013-14 season begins: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico,

North Dakota, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming. In addition, member associations in a number of other states are close to completing agreements and are expected to join the NFHS Network soon. “We believe this is one of the greatest opportunities in the 94-year history of the NFHS as we are able to take advantage of new technology and showcase high school sports and performing arts on a national scale,” Bob Gardner, NFHS executive director, said. “We are excited to provide viewership opportunities for fans of high school sports that have never existed before. The NFHS Network will help showcase our primary mission of expanding participation and

opportunities for involvement in education-based interscholastic sports and performing arts activities.” Postseason games in all sports sponsored by the OSAA will be available online on the Network, except for select championship events for which the OSAA has existing television contracts with other media partners. Viewing opportunities for NFHS Network events will be posted in the coming months at www.NFHSnetwork.com. The NFHS Network will build on the past success of PlayOn’s high-quality coverage of high school sports at the state level.

It’s academics first under new Taft AD EDITOR’S NOTE: Reporter Jim Fossum of The News Guard interviewed new Taft High 7-12 Athletic Director Tim Dressler, who has recently replaced Kris Wilkinson as head of the school’s athletic department. At just 25, Dressler is believed to be the youngest AD in the state and among the youngest in the country. Tell us about yourself. Where are you from and some family background, please? “My background with athletics for the majority of my life has been as an athlete. “I was a three-sport athlete in high school and a two-sport athlete in college. I was a sports director for two years leading soccer camps for nearly 500 youth. I have also been a soccer and track coach at Taft High School for three years. “I was born in Seattle, and grew up in Tacoma. I am a child of four and the second oldest. My parents have been teachers all their lives. My wife, Rebecca, is a language arts teacher at Taft High. “Our son, Theo, is almost 9 months old. Rebecca and I moved to Lincoln City right from college. She took a position at Taft High and I sought work in the education system and found a position at Taft as the campus monitor.

What is your opinion of athletics and the role they play at the high school level? “Athletics are a positive avenue to harness academic success with our students and I am looking forward to being a part of it. I am very excited to share and implement my beliefs on the power of sports and what they can do for youth. “I was an athlete my whole life all the way through college graduation and I am convinced

that the high expectations of my coaches, teamwork, character building, confidence, leadership and academic accountability from sports is directly related to my life and where I am today. “Athletics is more than just a team with athletes. It is about building a wellrounded person to become successful in the future. The focus needs to be on academics. When an athlete is focused on academic success they create multiple opportunities for the future.” Why were you interested in becoming AD? “My interest in athletics comes from my passion for sports and also the business side of organizing and understanding policies. Being an athletic director has been a passion of mine for many years. It is something that suits my personality well. I find joy in helping and serving others and this position creates endless opportunities for me to do so.”

Expound on your philosophy as an athletic administrator. What are the top priorities, and how do you plan on going about accomplishing them? “My philosophy is to consistently and relentlessly serve people and support sports programs on a daily basis. I believe the main priority as an AD is to promote and support the importance of building academic athletes. Academics is first and athletics support the success of academics. I will support the coaching staff through open communication and assisting them in creating academic athletes on a yearround basis. “I am a very competitive person when sports are involved. Finding success through hard work is a very rewarding sensation and I enjoy it. Everyone enjoys winning sporting events but there is something more rewarding about the work it took to get there. “On the level of importance, I consistently would say that the work that it took to make it to the top such as academics, 100 percent effort during practice, team collaboration, after-practice workouts, late-night homework, is more powerful. The work that it takes to be able to compete creates lifelong rewards and endless memories. There are numerous life skills that an athlete learns through competitive sports.”

How do you plan to compete as such an undermanned school in terms of enrollment and athletic pool? One thing I enjoy about sports is that the number of athletes may have an advantage, but the quality of each athlete can overcome adversity. We have quality athletes at Taft High. Our athletes work hard on and off the field. I am excited to see how they perform this year. What qualities will you look for in hiring coaches? “I look for coaches who

empower athletes to be people of character and give 100 percent effort. Coaches should consistently maintain high expectations and are able to connect to and inspire athletes to be better people, not only in athletics, but academics.” How do you expect coaches to fulfill the requirements of developing student athletes? “Character is built through maintaining high expectations for student athletes, but also being able to be relational and connect with them. Whether in sports or life, there are roadblocks, and character is built when a student athlete learns how to overcome it. They learn patience, discipline, teamwork, communication, and

technical skills. All these are character-building attributes that every athlete should have the opportunity to experience. What academic demands will you place on athletes? Our county has high academic expectations of our students athletes before they can compete and represent their school in a sporting event. In general, athletes are expected to be passing six of seven classes to have the opportunity to compete. We want our students to understand that academics are the priority and that the hard work of academics rewards students with the opportunity to compete in sports.

By Karen R. Hessen

George comes out of his shell I first met Carol Fletcher in January 1997, when she and I were rookie mail carriers at the Forest Grove Post Office. Carol went on to become a career rural carrier; I put on walking boots and became a letter carrier with a city route. There are few things postal co-workers don’t share with one another and pet tales are common topics of conversation. When Carol began talking about George, I just thought he was another turtle – the kind I had when I was a kid, shell painted red, doomed to a short life in a small dish. It wasn’t until Carol began looking for temporary summer lodging for George that I began to realize he must be an extraordinary creature – truly special to Carol. George had outgrown the upstairs apartment Carol rented when she took custody of George in a divorce. George needed a yard to roam and meander through in the warm summer months. Clearly, George was no ordinary tabletop turtle. George is an African Spurred Tortoise (Centrochelys Sulcata). So, last month I went to meet George, learn a little more about his species and what makes him so special to Carol. Carol has bought a home and landscaped the backyard to accommodate her needs and, I suspect, largely to meet the needs of a growing African Spurred Tortoise, which may live to be 100 years old. When Carol bought George in 2000 from a breeder in Coos Bay, he was about 10 months old and measured less than 2 1/2. She measures him every year when he comes out of his brief hibernation. This year, George weighed 45 pounds and measured 24 across his shell by 21 inches long. African Spurred Tortoises are the third-largest tortoise in the world. George can be expected to reach 26 to 36 inches in length and weigh between 132 to 240 pounds. George spends the cooler months indoors in his living space under the stairs in Carol’s two-story house. He hibernates there for about six weeks; otherwise he roams freely. Carol often finds him snuggled up to the vents in front of the refrigerator taking in the warm air. He has been known to rearrange the furniture. If the heavy living room chairs are covering a sunspot – in an attempt to recreate the Sahara Desert, his natural habitat – George simply pushes them into the kitchen until he has the sunspot all to himself. Carol is careful with George’s vegetarian diet. In Africa, his diet consisted of grasses and cactuses. In the warmer months, usually May through October, George moves outside. Carol has landscaped her backyard with vegetation appealing to George’s palate and appropriate to his nutritional needs. She treats him with dark green leafy vegetables, grapes, tomatoes, carrots, strawberries and watermelon. Bubbles come out of George’s nose when he eats watermelon. Carol built a pond in her backyard that is constantly freshened by a fountain, allowing George to drink clean fresh water at his will. When I walked down to the pond, I saw small piles of carrots and strawSee TORTOISE, Page B3

People searching for a good cup of coffee in Taft can find their java fix and more at Tiki’s at 51st. The front walk leading up to the small eatery is lined with nautical items, pirates’ gear and a large birdcage, home to Gypsy, a macaw with an attitude and a love for customers. “I had Gypsy before I started my business,” said Carol Sovey, owner of Tiki’s at 51st, located at 1005 S.W. 51st St. in Lincoln City. “I brought her in as a companion to help me through each day and to help her from getting bored.” Sovey and Gypsy became fast friends several years ago when she adopted the bird from a pet store in the Willamette Valley. “She is part of our family,” said Sovey. “When you are with an animal for a quarter of a century, you really become close to that animal.” Gypsy greets customers, often chatting See GYPSY, Page B3

Eugene-based songstress Loren at Cultural Center Halie Loren

The first thing you notice is that voice: deep and rich and warm, gorgeous, graceful, and somehow earthy and ethereal at once. It is an instrument perfectly pitched and primed to each line, with each audible breath. Just as warm and familiar and, frankly, right as the needle hitting the groove on vinyl. It’s the voice of Halie Loren, the singer/songwriter who used her hometown of Eugene as a launching pad for a jazz career that is taking her around the world. You can catch her in a rare Coast appearance at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 17, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Loren is fresh from a tour of Japan after her latest album, “Heart First.” It’s earned Jazz Critique Magazine’s coveted “Golden (top) prize” in the Vocal Jazz Album category since its worldwide release in 2012. She is no mere interpreter of standards – Loren offers originals with bluesy pain and sweetness. Think Peggy Lee and

Jolly to perform at Cultural Center Singer/songwriter Jeanne Jolly will make her only Oregon concert appearance at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 20, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 N.E. Highway 101. Jolly broke onto the music scene six years ago as the featured vocalist for Grammy Award-winning jazz trumpeter Chris Botti. Touring all through North America, she had the opportunity to sing with worldrenowned symphonies and perform at venues such as Carnegie Hall and play marquee events such as the Monterey Jazz Festival. With her signature voice, Jolly is carving out music without boundaries that pulls from her classical

training and folk sensibility. Audiences all over the U.S. are becoming impressed with her songwriting, her strong country belt and her ability to quickly shift to the dusky lilt of Allison Krauss combined with sophisticated jazz phrasing. Jolly plays acoustic guitar and baritone ukulele, too. She’s touring now with Chris Boerner, on eight-string guitar, and Nick Baglio, on drums and keys. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The concert begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 in advance, $17 at the door, on sale now at the center or by phone, 541-994-9994. If you get the recording, leave a message and someone will call you back to confirm. Visa and Mastercard are accepted.

“hello” and raising her claw to wave. She loves to pose for photos from inside her cage. She also enjoys perching on the handlebars of Sovey’s bicycle for rides around Taft. “She’s always ridden on my bicycle with me ever since she was a baby,” said Sovey. Sovey describes Gypsy as the most quiet, quaint and lovable little creature and an excellent companion. “She sits with me at night and watches television with me,” said Sovey. “She loves TV and she loves movies, especially the movie Rio.”

Gypsy spends time with a visitor. A few years ago, Sovey almost lost Gypsy while she was doing yard work and

berries that had been left for George to discover in his wanderings. Carol installed tortoise-proof fencing around her yard. Her next project for George is a permanent, heated, outdoor housing structure. If a tortoise lives in an enclosure that is too small, the cells of their shell form pyramid shapes, creating an unhealthy condition and leading to a shortened life expectancy. I asked Carol how she knew George reciprocated her feelings. She said, George listens for her voice and looks around for her when he hears her. She has always rubbed his neck and touched his head. He recognizes her smell. So, I decided to rub George’s neck. The skin on his neck looks rough. I compare its appearance to a coat of mail a knight might have worn in medieval times. I

expected it to be a harsh texture, but was surprised by the softness, almost a fine, silken quality of George’s flesh. The question had to be asked and Carol was expecting it – “George will probably outlive you by 50 years or more. Have you made plans for George?” “George stays with the house. Hopefully, one of my children will be able to buy the house from my other children and provide a good home for George the rest of his life.” “Do you think George

is lonely?” I asked, thinking what a great home Carol provides for George and two African Spurred Tortoises would not be much more work than one. “Nah, they’re loners,” she answered. Sorry, George. I tried. African Spurred Tortoises are reputed to make great pets. Certainly, Carol found the perfect one for her.

Billie Holiday and Joni Mitchell, or, more recently, Diana Krall, Norah Jones. But such comparisons are only historic reference points, a means of entry. What’s important to understand is that when Loren sings, you not only hear the music, you feel it. She’s right there, in the room with you, filling the space with intimate stories of love and heartbreak, memory and hope, experience and passion — in a word, life. At her Lincoln City concert, the first one since 2011, Loren will perform with a three-piece band led by her longtime piano collaborator, Matt Treder. Doors open at 6:30 pm, and beer, wine, soft drinks and concession snacks will be sold. Tickets are $20 in advance and $22 at the door, on sale at the center or by calling 541-994-9994.

grabbed Gypsy and took off,” said Sovey. “I ran after that bird and a few blocks away, the bird came down and dropped Gypsy in a school baseball field. She landed hard.” Ever since that incident, Sovey has kept a close eye on Gypsy whenever the two are outside. On Aug. 18, Gypsy will turn 21 years old. To celebrate her birthday, Sovey plans to present Gypsy with a special pink paper hat and a few special treats. “She’ll eat just about anything humans eat, but I don’t feed her any junk food,” said Sovey. “She does love spaghetti and meatballs.”

will mark the 15th year of the program, which is designed to attract people to Lincoln City. Finders Keepers is an annual promotion, featuring hand-crafted glass floats being placed along the public beaches in Lincoln City, from the Roads End area to the Cutler City area. You find it, you keep it. The project began in 1997, when a local artist first thought of glass floats as an intriguing way to launch the new millennium. Lincoln City sponsored the project, hosting the inaugural season in 1999-2000. “The concept for this program was patterned after the popularity of visitors and locals finding Japanese floats on our beach,” said Scott Humpert, Lincoln City Visitors and Convention Bureau publicity director. “This was a way to modernize that with different colors and different sizes of floats. People really seemed to like finding the floats so we patterned Finders Keepers after that.” The Bureau has placed well over 30,000 glass floats in the sand along Lincoln City beaches since the program began. Humpert said Finders Keepers is responsible for attracting thousands of visitors to Lincoln City annually. “Finders Keepers has gained worldwide attention,” said Humpert. “We get people from all over the United States, Canada, China, Japan and Europe who come here specifically to find the art treasures on the beach.” The Bureau uses approximately $35,000 from its annual operating budget to purchase the glass art that is produced at a number of different Northwest studios by various artists. Those finding the floats can bring their discovered treasures to the Lincoln City

Visitors’ Center at 540 N.E. Highway 101 to receive the certificate of authenticity and a biographical sketch of the artist who created the float. “Each float is signed and numbered so we can track them from what artist and what studio,” said Humpert. “We also take the name of the people that find the floats and where they are from.” For the disabled, or those who cannot walk on the beach, the Bureau offers a monthly drawing for a glass float. Although the precious finds are set out daily, during this 15th anniversary of Finders Keepers, on 12 occasions, “Float Fairies” will leave behind large quantities to increase the chances of finding one of the art pieces. This continuing celebration of the millennium and Japanese fisherman is sponsored by Chinook Winds Casino Resort, the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, Coho Oceanfront Lodge, Ester Lee Motel, Liberty Inn, Nordic Oceanfront Inn, Ocean Terrace Condos, and the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau.

written notice and require you to move out after 90 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 90 days left. You must be provided with at least 90 days’ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: • Is the result of an arm’slength transaction; • Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and • Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from you rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 90 days or at the end of your fixed term lease. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new owner’s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: • You do not owe rent; • The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and • You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 90

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU MAY WISH TO CONSULT A LAWYER.

Breakfast Cooked Like Grandma’s

uring my childhood, family members from all around would gather in grandma’s kitchen and tell stories and relay the happenings of their lives. Some of the stories shared were really far fetched, but the thing that would shine through, was the art of communicating and the love. Grandma Geneva always said... “Anything can be solved over a cup of coffee.”
