LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

Family’s gift gives needy place to call home JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

The generosity of a Lincoln City family will help give homeless families hope and Family Promise a place to call home. Don and Debbie Williams, owners of Nelscott Cafe, have purchased the old Taft Fire Hall and Oregon Coast Community College building on S.E. 48th Street from the college to start a catering

business on 2,000 square feet of the property and a daytime shelter for the homeless on the remaining 4,000 square feet for $1 a month rent for 10 years. “This is huge blessing,” said Family Promise homeless advocate Hanna Connett, who said 170 Lincoln City children are homeless, a considerable portion of the 582 homeless kids in Lincoln County. “We had a prayer meeting at the end of May

and everybody talked about the needs and wouldn’t it be great if somebody would donate a day center and things like that, and the next day Debbie called and said, See FAMILY PROMISE, Page A6

incoln City resident Cameron Ogle has resumed skating only fairly recently after being involved in a skateboarding accident last summer that doctors say would have taken his life had he not been wearing a helmet. The 14-year-old Taft High 7-12 freshman has resumed skateboarding for at least a couple of hours almost every day since being hit by a car and breaking his hand and wrist when it went through the windshield and almost touched the driver’s face. Using a skateboard given to him last week by an avid 8-year-old skateboarder at Lincoln City Skatepark, Ogle says helmet safety is tantamount to enjoying a good time on city sidewalks. “My mom would kill me if I didn’t wear one,” he said. “Besides, I’ve learned how important it is.”

Power outage hits Lincoln City

JULY 31, 2013 | WEDNESDAY

Weekly Rainfall: 0 inches Yearly Rainfall: 32.57 inches

A power outage due to a faulty transformer switch causing fuses to blow at the Devils Lake substation Monday afternoon shut down service throughout Lincoln City and stretched from the south of town at Siletz Bay in the south to Otis in the north. A Pacific Power spokesperson said 10,305 customers were initially affected before power was restored to about half of the city at approximately 2:50 p.m. Customers continued to have power restored throughout the afternoon until the final 960 users had their power return at 4:43 p.m., the spokesperson said. The switch defect caused fuses to blow, which automatically shut down some operation at other substations for safety reasons. Procedures were followed and inspections done before the city was completely reenergized, the spokesperson said. Traffic was backed up throughout the city for about an hour due to nonoperational traffic signal lights. No injuries were reported.

Glitch found in city water billing system JEREMY C. RUARK The News Guard

Lincoln City officials are informing customers of a technical problem that has led to errors on some paper water bills. “Our billing system used the peak water rate for usage charges when it should have used the normal rate,” said Debbie Mammone, Lincoln City finance director. “We discovered this issue before mailing the bills, and we corrected the usage charges both in our system and on the bills. However, while the usage charges are correct on the mailed bills, the total amount due shown on the bottom of the bills did not update. Therefore, the total amount due that is listed on the mailed bills is more than the total of the

amount of 400 cubic feet of water per billing cycle. As such, a customer living in a single-family dwelling who used less than 400 square feet will have received a correct bill. The City is encouraging customers who have received paper bills to add up their detailed charges for water and sewer and send in that amount for payment. However, if a customer sends in the total amount shown due, they will get credit for their overpayment on next month’s bill. Most overpayments will be less than $5. “We apologize to our utility customers for the inconvenience caused by this technical glitch,” said Mammone. “We will make sure that any customers who did overpay receive their credit.”

properties and multifamily dwellings, she said. Water bills for single-family dwellings will be impacted if the customer has used more than the base amount of 400 cubic feet. The normal water billing rate for commercial and multifamily properties within the City is $2.95 per 100 cubic feet used (100 cubic feet equals 748 gallons). During peak times, the water billing rate increases to $3.21 per 100 cubic feet used. Outside of City limits, the normal water billing rate is $6.27 per 100 cubic feet used. During peak times, this rate increases to $6.83 per 100 cubic feet used. Single-family residences are billed at the same rates; however, customers at a singlefamily residence get a base

Squabble puts road district, local resident at odds Richard Hams is hoping his visits before the Panther Creek Road District board will make a difference. Hams has voiced his concerns about stacks of gravel along Hillside Drive in the Otis area he said has damaged cars on the winding roadway in front of his house. “The District board had a gravel crown placed in the middle of Hillside Drive and gravel along the shoulders,” said Hams. “My car and one of my neighbor’s car has been damaged because of the gravel crown. The cars were dragging bottom. I would have to drive off the road to keep from further damaging my car.” Hams also said the roadway is too narrow to allow access by multiple emergency vehicles that might have to respond to the neighborhood using Hillside Drive. “When it rains, all that gravel they’ve placed on this road will slide down the hill onto the neighbors’ property,” he said. Hams has asked the board to send in a grader to smooth out the gravel. Linda Holt, Panther Creek Road District treasurer, said the board has done

Otis area resident Richard Hams points to a gravel shoulder along Hillside Drive that he said is dangerous and not suitable for the roadway. all it can to answer Hams’ concerns. “I told him that our road operator had spent 26 hours re-grading Hillside Drive and he brought down the gravel crown in the middle of the road and fixed the corners,” said Holt. “Mr.

Hams owns a Corvette and that sits close to the ground and we are trying to accommodate him. We are pretty small potatoes with a limited budget and we can only do some much. We wish we could do more.” Holt acknowledged that

more improvements will be necessary when fall and winter rains arrive. “When the rain comes down, it’s a sheet of water,” she said. “It gets really tricky with the runoff from the hills coming down into the ditch. We try to keep the ditches clean and will have to lay down more gravel to help with traction on the road.” Hams said he isn’t satisfied with the steps being taken and presented a petition to the board last spring with several neighbors’ signatures asking for additional improvements. Holt said the board never received a petition from Hams. “We do the best we can to make it as comfortable for everybody,” said Holt. “We went out on a limb for Mr. Hams to get that crown down.” Holt said paving Hillside Drive would be expensive and could encourage speeding. “Many people drive up and down that road too fast and paving it could make it a raceway,” said Holt. “Keeping it graveled helps keep the speed down.” The Panther Creek Road District is responsible for seven miles of roads in the Otis area using money from Lincoln County to pay for

s City, grants to help fund Cultural Center roof repair When it rains, folks inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center grab buckets to catch leaking water from the roof. The leaks have been a challenge at the Center for months, but repair isn’t far off thanks to an agreement with the City of Lincoln City and a Meyer Memorial Trust grant. In late June, Cultural Center officials learned the facility has received a $40,000 grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust, which will pay for more than half of the roof project, estimated to cost $70,000$75,000. The contractor, P & G Roofing, plans to complete the project by Oct. 1. “With this grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust, we can breathe a huge sigh of relief, because it allows us to begin this much-needed roof replacement right away,” said Niki Price, Cultural Center director. “It demonstrates how the City of Lincoln City, our nonprofit and the granting community can work together for the common

good, to preserve this community landmark for many years into the

future.” Price said the Center has also applied for a

On June 10, the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency approved a new agreement with the Cultural Center to forgive the lease payments and provide mowing and tree service for three years. The agency also voted to extend the Center’s purchase option, which expired this summer, and to cover major structural improvements to the building when grant funds are not available.

SAVINGS AWARD

One of Oregon Coast Aquarium’s Harbor seals was discovered dead July 17 when staff arrived at the marine mammal holding facility. The seal was born at Point Defiance Zoo on July 15, 1979, and came to the Aquarium when it opened in 1992. At 34 years, the seal was exceptionally old for her species, which typically live less than 20 years in the wild. “She was a smart, old girl who could try you at times and will be missed greatly by staff,” said Ken Lytwyn, the Aquarium’s curator of marine mammals, who worked with the seal for nearly two decades. Lytwyn described the seal as an independent mammal that liked to keep things on her terms. “The challenges of working with her also made her training successes extra rewarding,” he said. The seal learned behaviors that helped the Aquarium’s mammalogists provide her the best possible care, like waiting patiently while her nails were clipped, and fun behaviors, like blowing bubbles on cue. The seal’s bright white coat and bossy attitude entertained Aquarium staff and visitors alike. “She started to exhibit some abnormal behaviors such as lethargy and decreased appetite during the past few months,” said Jim Burke, the Aquarium’s director of animal husbandry. “Veterinary and husbandry professionals monitored her health closely and made adjustments to their work schedules to keep her comfortable.” The veterinarians who performed her necropsy attributed the death to old age. The Oregon Coast Aquarium is located at 2820 S.E. Ferry Slip Road in Newport.

Blood was running down their arms and faces, as I thought “What have we got ourselves into?” They didn’t complain, but just worked harder cutting 12foot tall and wide hedges of blackberry bushes that surrounded the yard. In trimming the onslaught of briars, we uncovered beautiful trees and ferns long buried in thorns. In fact, at their initiative, they even decided to pull the weeds around the house to make it look better. That is when one of the teenagers happened upon poison ivy and took a handful to the truck.

Guest Column By Rev, Kelli Westmark I pulled out the remaining leaves. Minutes later, he said, “It really itches.” That is when I realized my purpose for being there. I ran to the store, found a helpful clerk who was on his break and quickly found the needed ointment for the teenager, and, yes, I’ll

admit for me, too. Teenagers, yes teenagers, and sponsoring adults from seven churches, served 68 families in five days. Not only that, but they spent their hard-earned money and took time off work to do it. And anyone who offered to pay for their services was politely told their money was not accepted. Why would they do that? One simple word that carries the weight of gold in meaning: love. They wanted to love my neighbor, not so they could get something in return, but just because. Galatians

5:14 in The Message translation says it plainly, “For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself.” Imagine what the world would be like if we did every day. When I attended seven years of schooling to receive my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees for pastoral ministry, I wrote a “Philosophy of Life” paper that is my lifelong focus: Love God, Love People. Sounds simple, but it can be a challenge. The good news is, I like a good chal-

lenge. After six years, with five publishers or editors up and down the Oregon Coast asking me to write a “religious” column, I have finally figured out maybe someone is trying to get my attention. Who knows? Maybe love will become contagious. Rev. Kelli Westmark is the senior pastor at the Lincoln City Church of the Nazarene and the vice president of the North Lincoln County Ministerial Association.

Voices of Lincoln County Dale Omsberg In reply to Mary Lou Omsberg’s letter, I’d like the community and Mary Lou to know that my husband, Rev. Larry Rohlfing now deceased, was a strong supporter of Dale. As a pastor, he worked with Dale for many funerals and knew Dale quite well. He told me that Dale was a very caring man whose financial difficulties resulted from his inability to collect for his services from those who claimed to be needy, or who simply neglected to pay after Dale provided his services. Mary Lou’s statement that, “In October 1984 his account receivables total was about $120,000.00” surprised me by the large amount, but testifies to the extent of Dale’s caring for others at that time. It also indicates why Dale didn’t have the money to pay for cremations in the end. Larry also told me that many of those who were most vocal in their criticism of Dale through their letters to the editor and statements to the News Guard, were also people who neglected to pay Dale throughout those 4 1/2 years. If the current practice of collecting payment prior to a funeral service had been in place at that time,

Dale never would have had those problems. I wish I could tell Mary Lou in person how sorry I am for all she went through at that time. Carol Rohlfing Lincoln City

Heartfelt thanks for ‘Love My Neighbor’ I’d like to express my heartfelt thanks to the churches and businesses who participated in this year’s “Love My Neighbor” workweek and the News Guard for their great coverage of the event. Through your willing hearts a huge blessing came to our community. When I’m asked whose idea it was to start “Love My Neighbor”? I say it was Jesus. His command to “Love your neighbor as yourself” is the “royal law” in Scripture. Paul wrote: “The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself” (Galatians 5:14). I’m amazed to think that when we’re obedient to this command we fulfill the entire law of God in that moment. “Love My Neighbor” is one

way. But there are many ways to love our neighbors. We can choose to do so for anyone who needs a helping hand, anytime, anywhere. All it takes is a willing heart. Thanks to the “royal law” of Christ and to the many willing hearts who chose to “follow the way of love” over 70 people took part, and 67 jobs were completed. Our community was truly blessed! What a great idea Jesus had! To Him be the glory, great things He has done! Carl Wohlwend Pastor Gleneden Beach Christian

Lake issue Once again, a plea to DLWID directors from Jack Strayer in his informed editorial about the poisonous neurotoxins in Devils Lake. No warnings are posted anywhere. Maybe we should take the initiative. National Geographic in April 20013 warned about the toxins causing Parkinsons, Alzheimers and Lou Gerigs Diseases. It goes up the food chain to the fish and you. Here’s what you can do: Don’t let your kids or dogs swal-

low any water and then hose them down. If you eat any trout remove all skin organs and fatty tissue. Eat only two fish a week, none for pregnant women or kids, then always wash your hands. Are we selling out to the tourist dollar? Where is the City, Brian Green or Roberston in on this. Roman Wolansky Lincoln City

Farmers market dogs Re dogs at the Neskowin Farmers Market: It’s okay not to have dogs everywhere we go. I say that as a dog owner partially responsible for the dog restrictions at our wonderful Neskowin Farmers Market. Last year our Lab was able to consume parts of many pastries at a vendor booth - and without paying! I covered her “breakfast” but you can see that in a small market how animals might overdo it before owners can react. Come enjoy our market, just tie the dog up to a nearby tree like us locals do.

Clearing up confusion over service animals There is a lot of confusion about “service animals.” What is a service animal and what should I know about these animals? The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines a service animal as “a dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities.” Comfort, companion, emotional support, therapy animals, and/or trained pets are not service animals. Service animals may be of any type or breed of dog and need not be certified by any governmental agency or service group. Some service animals, such as guide dogs, may be readily identifiable, but many don’t have a distinctive symbol, harness, or collar. It’s important to understand that service animals are not pets and may be trained by an individual or organization to assist individuals with disabilities. People should not attempt to pet the animal or offer food items. The following examples are just some of the ways service animals may be used to provide assistance: • Guiding people who are blind or have poor vision; • Alerting people who are deaf or hard of hearing; • Retrieving or picking up items, opening doors, or flipping switches for

people with disabilities who have limited use of their hands, arms or legs; • Pulling wheelchairs; • Providing physical support and assisting people with physical disabilities with stability and balance; • Doing work or performing tasks for persons with traumatic brain injury, intellectual disabilities, or psychiatric disabilities, such as reminding a person with depression to take medication or to wake the person; • Alerting a person with anxiety to the onset of panic attacks, providing tactile stimulation to calm a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, assisting people with schizophrenia to distinguish between hallucinations and reality, and helping people with traumatic brain injury to locate misplaced items, find places or follow daily routines. Under the ADA, service animals assisting individuals with disabilities are permitted in all public facilities and areas where the general public is allowed. If an animal exhibits vicious behavior, poses

a direct threat to the health of others, or unreasonably disrupts or interferes with normal business operations, the employee may direct the partner/handler to remove the animal from the premises. Barking alone is not a threat nor does a direct threat exist if the partner/ handler takes prompt effective action to control

the animal. Each incident must be considered individually and past incidents alone are not cause for excluding a service animal. Removal of a service animal may not be used as a reason to refuse service to an individual with disabilities. Businesses are required by federal law to permit service animals to accom-

pany their partner/handler in all areas that other customers or members of the public are allowed. If it is unclear whether an animal meets the definition of a service animal, an employee may ask the individual only the following questions: • Is the animal required because of a disability? • What task or service has this animal been trained to do? If the individual explains that the animal is required because of a disability and has been trained to work or perform at least one task, the animal meets the definition of a service animal and no further question as to the animal’s status should be asked. The person should not be asked questions about his/her disabilities nor should the person be asked to provide any license, certification or ID card for the service animal. Any individual who, as a result of his/her disability, believes he/she has been discriminated against should contact the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice.

Crews work to finish school building improvements All remaining classrooms at Lincoln City’s Oceanlake Elementary School have been remodeled and are ready for teachers’ return in August. “Each room will have environmentally improved air circulation, modern lighting, each will be bright and cheery, and each room will also have soundproofing to lessen noise,” Oceanlake Principal Betsy Wilcox said. The school has undergone a $6 million, 23,400-square-foot expansion. Crews are also working to finish improvement projects throughout the Lincoln County School District in time for the start of the school year in September. The Oceanlake improvement project is one

of several at the district’s 11 schools funded in 2011 through a voter-approved $63 million bond. Here’s a summary of some of the recent activity: • Seven classrooms at Sam Case Primary School in Newport were gutted and are in the process of being rebuilt; • The new play shed at Newport Intermediate School is ready, so children can have the opportunity to run and play outside, protected from wind and rain; • A couple of classrooms at Newport Prep Academy have been gutted and will be remodeled into a new science lab classroom and tech lab; • Toledo Junior/Senior High has received a fresh

coat of exterior paint; • One wing is being extensively remodeled at Crestview Heights. • The new Waldport High School is on schedule to be completed and turned over to the District on Aug. 26. Temporary occupancy has been granted through Sept. 4 so the principal, office staff and teachers can return to work in August.

Newport Airport investigation summary released The City of Newport has released the findings of an investigation into a complaint filed by two employees at the Newport Municipal Airport. The employees, Terry Durham and Lance Vanderbeck, filed a complaint with former Newport City Manager Jim Voetberg alleging that three City councilors – Richard Beemer, Ralph Busby and Dean Sawyer – had created a hostile work environment; disclosed information that was discussed during a City Council executive session; and inappropriately di-

rected the work of airport staff. At the request of the City of Newport, a representative of Barran Liebman conducted an investigation by interviewing the employees and the councilors. The investigator prepared a report but drew no legal conclusions. The report was submitted to another representative of Barran Liebman, who reviewed the report and considered the legal liability of the City for the councilors’ actions. The investigation found the conduct of the

councilors did not rise to the level of misconduct, and a preliminary decision was made by the City Attorney, in consultation with Barran Liebman, not to look into the involvement of Voetberg. However, it appeared, during the course of the investigation, that Voetberg had some involvement in the employees’ filing of the complaint. Recommendations include that the City Council consider participating in training regarding its roles and expectations and public meetings and executive sessions,

A local group is working to help veterans hold a town hall at 2 p.m. Wednesday, July 31, at Hillside House, 1400 S.E. 19th St. in Lincoln City. “This outreach effort is necessary because any avenue to help a veteran is worthwhile, especially in our community,” said Jim White, spokesman for Vets Serving Vets. The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of Lincoln County has partnered with Hillside House to begin the Vets Serving Vets outreach program for area veterans through RSVP’s Friendly Visitor program. A national organization with more than 500,000 volunteers, RSVP recruits people 55 and older to use their life skills and experiences to help those in need. In Lincoln County, RSVP’s Friendly Visitor program has helped around 114 seniors live independently while staying connected to their community. White said the partnership would help veterans in several ways. “With Vets Serving Vets being an extension for RSVP’s Friendly Visitor program, our goal is to keep seniors/veterans in their homes as long as it’s safe for them to do so,” he said.

Red Cross issues urgent donor alert summer “T heis historically one of the most difficult times of year for blood and platelet donations.

“

The American Red Cross has issued an urgent need for platelet donors, as well as donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood. Right now, blood products are being distributed to area hospitals almost as quickly as donations are coming in. “We are grateful to the donors who have rolled up a sleeve to give blood or platelets to the Red Cross in the last couple of weeks, but our work is not over,” said Steve Stegeman, CEO for the Red Cross Pacific Northwest Blood Services Region. “The need for blood is constant. As July comes to a close and August begins, we ask eligible donors to please give blood or platelets as soon as possible.” The Red Cross issued an emergency call for blood donations July 9 after seeing about 50,000 fewer blood and platelet donations than expected in June. Donations have increased by about 15 percent since the emergency call for donors was issued, but the middle and end of July mark only the halfway point to the challenging summer months. “The summer is historically one of the most difficult times of year for blood and platelet donations,” said Stegeman. “Many donors are still enjoying summer activities, but patients are unable to take a vaca-

tion from needing lifesaving transfusions.” Blood and platelets are needed for many reasons. Accident and burn victims, heart surgery patients and organ transplant patients, as well as those receiving treatment for cancer or sickle cell disease, may depend on lifesaving transfusions. Each day, the Red Cross Pacific Northwest Blood Services Region needs approximately 1,000 donors to give blood. Eligible donors with types O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially encouraged to give double red cells where available. Type O negative blood is the universal blood type and can be transfused

How to donate blood • Call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) • redcrossblood.org to anyone who needs blood. Types A negative and B negative blood can be transfused to Rh positive or negative patients. All blood types are needed to ensure a reliable supply for patients. The best way to donate is to call to make an appointment at 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767) or visit redcrossblood.org. A blood donor card or driver’s license, or two other forms of identification are required at check-in. Individuals who are 17 years of age (16 with parental permission in some states), weigh at least 110 pounds and are in generally good health may be eligible to donate blood. High school students and other donors 18 years of age and younger must meet certain height and weight requirements.

A large truck trying to brake to avoid colliding with backed-up traffic in congestion on July 24 on Highway 101 near West Devils Lake Road skidded off the road and caused traffic to slow for several hours. The truck wasn’t cleared from the highway for several hours because a tow truck large enough to handle the rig had to be driven in from the Portland area.

“We’re looking at this space and would you be interested in us leasing it to you for $1 a month,’ and I said, ‘Let me think about that, ‘Yes.’” With plans already gone through an architect and now in the hands of an engineer for adjusting minor accessibility issues, the Williams hope to have the building ready for a catering business along the Central Oregon Coast and a place where the homeless, including the disabled, to have bathrooms and showers, laundry facilities, a kitchen, dining area, computer and learning rooms, a lounge for financial management classes, parenting and wellness seminars, a counselor’s and case manager’s office, and more. “We want to be part of the community,” Don Williams said. “We want to help as much as we can. We’ve been blessed greatly and we want to share that.” The Williams, who own Subway Restaurants in the Portland and Vancouver, Wash., areas, are extremely active in community affairs. Don is on the Lincoln City Planning Commission, is president of the Bay Area Merchants Association and on the board of Buy Local, among other things. Debbie Williams thanked Oregon Coast Community College for accepting the family’s offer of $195,000 for the building and a $2,000 annual schol-

arship with the knowledge that extensive renovation and infrastructure work will be necessary without any fiscal responsibility from Family Promise, a nonprofit organization that has been fundraising for the betterment of area homeless for more than a year now. The Williams took out a loan against a vacation rental they own in town, Debbie said, to purchase the building. “We’d been looking at the building for about a year [for the catering business], and there were restraints where we couldn’t figure out what to do with all of the space, so when we heard from our pastor that Family Promise needed space, we just looked at each other in the car and said, ‘Why don’t we do that,” We made an offer and we got it closed within three weeks through Oregon Coast Bank, which is virtually unheard of.” The building, which was erected in 1970, has been a service to the community, either as a fire hall or as a college, “so to continue as service to the community is really important, but also to make it look good again would be really nice for the neighborhood,” Debbie said. “There are some neighborhood things we would like to do, maybe a community game night, just some things for the community to get together and get to know one another. There’s just a multitude of things we can do.”

Barbara P. Hagerman, 87, passed peacefully early June 30th. She and her husband, Curt Norman, deceased, loved Lincoln City and decided to retire here in 1989. Barbara taught high school English for many years before retiring. She will be much missed by her local friends, former students, and her three daughters. She requested that no service be held.

“Ideally, I’d like to see some services in Newport such as DHS [Department of Human Services] come up, so we have a huge vision for this place,” Connett said. Connett said a rotating service involving 13 local churches would still be instituted to serve as night shelters for the homeless, but that the building will serve as a daytime hub for families to get back on their feet. She said volunteers are needed to make both projects operate smoothly. “We still have a significant financial amount to raise before we can become operational, but together we can make it happen,” Connett said. “Every donation, whether financial, in-kind, or volunteer, makes a huge difference. The Williams are one example of how much our community is behind this organization.” Family Promise plans a groundbreaking, open house celebration at the new location before renovations from 5:30 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 20. A pictorial posting of the building’s progress will be updated regularly at www. tafthall.com. For more information, go to www.familypromiseoflincolncounty. org.

Greg O. Jones of Lincoln City, has been named the Fraternal Order of Eagles president for the State of Oregon. Jones, a longtime member and officer of the North Lincoln Eagles of Lincoln City, was installed at the recent Eagles state convention in the Dalles. Each year the Eagles state president chooses a charity that will be supported throughout the year. Jone’s charity for his term is the Oregon Dental Association. This association sponsors the “Tooth Taxi” which visits schools around the state and offers free dental services to those students who need them. During the year, Jones and his assistants will visit every Eagles Aerie in Oregon, acquainting all members and communities with the dental project. The Fraternal Order of Eagles was started 115 years ago in Seattle. It is a patriotic and humanitarian organization whose motto is “People Helping People.” The Eagles Lodge is located at 732 S.W. 32nd St. in Lincoln City.

neighborhoods “There is no place for pedestrians to cross the highway safely,” he said. “The highway divides that part of the community from neighbors. So, the improvements are designed to actually encourage people to visit the area by riding bikes or walking and to visit the area businesses and the beach.” Lila Bradley, Lincoln City Public Works director, said the addition of a turn lane will reduce the traffic bottleneck. She said the pedestrian crossing improvements are greatly needed. “It has been a pedestrian safety issue for years,” said Bradley. “There are no sidewalks and no bike lanes and that puts people walking along that section of the highway in harm’s way.” Bradley said the City has been replacing water and sewer lines in the area to prepare for the highway widening. “During the project, we will need to adjust the utili-

Eleven-year-old Degan Sawyer represented Lincoln City on a national scale last week when he returned for his second appearance at the All-America Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio. Sawyer, who has raced for three years, was eliminated in his first race on Friday, July, 26, in the Super Stock Rally Division, also qualified for the national championship race in 2011, when he placed ninth in the Stock Division. The Oceanlake Elementary School student qualified for the Super Stock Rally Division earlier this spring in Salem. Local champions from throughout the world in Stock, Super Stock and Masters divisions qualify to race for world Soap Box supremacy, scholarships and merchandise each summer in Akron.

Sports Yurts take the grunge out of camping A10

JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

Gary Peck might explain best why camping in yurts is better than piling into a tent. “The girls can plug in their hairdryers,” he said. Peck and wife, Lynn, and their extended family of 13, tried both forms of camping last week at Devils Lake State Recreation Area in Lincoln City, and, as seasoned camping veterans, found their use pacifies each family member. “The kids like to stay in a tent and we like the warmth and convenience of yurts,” Lynn said. The Pecks have been camping each summer for more than 20 years now and have spent the last four in yurts, the past three on

Devils Lake, where they can swim, boat, fish and enjoy the many benefits of camping. And the benefits of a yurt. With their two dogs in tow and a 2 1/2-month old granddaughter to baby, shacking up for Oregon’s chilly coastal nights in a yurt is a luxury tent camping doesn’t provide. “Warmth is the main thing,” Lynn says. Yurts, found on a limited basis in most state parks along the Oregon Coast, are circular, canvas-covered structures typically 16 feet in diameter that basically provide nearly all the luxuries of home. Equipped with electricity and heaters, you can even bring along a small television set to

watch movies or play video games, while down-anddirty campers might choose to remain outside with the wildlife or beyond the locking door provided to yurt users for security and safety. “You don’t have to bring a tent or anything, you can just bring a sleeping bag or a blanket, and they have heaters and electricity and water at each unit, “ Carol Lometo, assistant ranger at Devils Lake State Recreation Area, said. The Pecks divided their convoy of campers into two adjacent yurts and a tent, making organization of clothes and other possessions more convenient. “And, of course, the sleeping arrangements are wonderful and much safer,” Lynn said.

JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD

Gary and Lynn Peck, who live near Philomath, sit with their grandchildren, baby Rylee, Michael and Jolene, at Devils Lake State Recreation Area, where they have come each year for family camping in yurts and a tent. Yurts are the lodging of choice for a growing number of outdoorsmen throughout the Northwest and beyond.

You don’t have to be on vacation to enjoy your time off in the summer, either. “I brought my work with me,” said Carey Hopkins, a bicycle designer from Seattle, whose family of four stayed just down the narrow road from the Pecks at Devils Lake. “I’m on vacation but doing a little work because I’m a little bit behind. But I can sit here and get on the computer if need be and the kids can still go out and have a good time.” The Hopkins’ family has been staying in yurts for years now. The most noticeable change? “There are more of them,” Carey says, “and they have patios and stuff like that and have gotten more elaborate. There’s more seating area as far as hanging out outside, and you still get a little bit of the outdoor experience without roughing it completely. I prefer not to sleep on the ground. It’s like having a hotel room without a neighbor.” In addition to electricity, yurts provide some sort of combination of bunk beds, futon couch or double bed, table and chairs, heat, lights, covered porch and bench, You need bring only bedding and dishes. Fancier, larger yurts, such as one at Umpqua Lighthouse State Park, just a couple of hours south of Lincoln City include a TV, sink, refrigerator and microwave.

Community Center names aquatic staff Ryan Smith and Colin Perkins recently joined the aquatics staff at the Lincoln City Community Center. Smith will oversee day-to-day pool operations, supervise and train lifeguards, and develop aquatic programming. He has worked more than a year as a lifeguard and head lifeguard at the Community Center, and has extensive experience in retail and property management. Smith is a volunteer with North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1 (NLFR), serves on the NLFR water rescue team and recently attained his National Fire Protection

Association Instructor 1 certification. “I am very thankful to everybody that assisted me on the way to my new position,” Smith said. “The Lincoln City Community Center is a great place to be and allows me to work with this community, which I hold in very high regard. Though I wasn’t born here in Lincoln City, I feel it is my hometown.” Perkins will assist in directing and training the lifeguard staff and maintaining the swimming pools. He is a certified American Red Cross Lifeguard, Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguard Instructor. Perkins

also holds a degree in Fire Services Administration from Western Oregon University and a degree in Fire Protection Technology from Chemeketa Community College. Perkins came to Lincoln City from the Portland metro area, where he worked as a lifeguard and head lifeguard for Tualatin Parks & Recreation District and Portland Community College. “I’m excited to have Ryan and Colin on our team,” Gail Kimberling, Community Center director, said. “They bring a wealth of experience, professionalism and enthusiasm to our aquatic side.”

Castle building competition at Taft to draw thousands

“

We all know about invasive weeds, although chances are we don’t all know about all of them. Dandelions are a good example. So are Himalayan blackberries, although if you love them for jam, you can understand why settlers brought them along when they first came to this area. The ripe berries are delicious in pies and cobblers, and fresh floating in cream and sugar. The birds think they are good food, too, so they gobble up berries then spread the seed in their droppings. How can you get rid of these Himalayan blackberries? The best bet is to either dig them out, roots and all, or keep them cut or mowed off when they show their nasty heads above the ground. Farm lore says that pigs love the roots and will dig out whole patches, and goats find the young shoots quite delicious. However, city zoning does not allow you to keep pigs or goats, so if you live in town, don’t count on that method. Many more plants that we consider weeds are very common here, too, along with some that have become weeds because of their spreading tendencies. Try to be a good neighbor and control the invasives that inhabit your own little space, so they don’t spread to everyone in your vicinity. Dandelions spread by fuzzy seeds blowing in the wind. So do a number of other species, including fireweed and milkweed. If you cut these off before the seeds form, you will have at least done a little bit to help control their spread. I find dandelions fairly easy to pull in my yard because most of the kind we have are shallow-rooted and come up easily without leaving a hunk of taproot to re-grow. How lucky can we be? Other big, nasty characters just need to be cut off, and cut off some more, until they give up the project of making seeds. Even more insidious once established among your shrubs is the beautiful field bindweed we call morning glory. Make no mistake, these lovely white blooms are not in the same family as the many colors of morning glory for which you can buy seed in the spring. But the roots of the bindweed go deep, and any left in the ground are going to re-sprout. Weaken the plants by cutting them off or pulling them out, frequently, never giving them a chance to become strong. Flowers often need to be strong and persistent to have a chance of thriving in my garden, where I give them little care. So, I enjoy some that would be much too vigorous for smaller spaces. Some of them do reseed and become a nuisance if small, tidy garden beds are your choice. I wouldn’t necessarily call linaria an invasive, or calendula, or nasturtium, but they can become a pest if they decide to grow where not wanted, so be sensible about removing the dead blooms before the seeds mature. Some perennials clump much faster than you might like, too, but you can always dig out the extra Shasta daisies and diminish the size of the clumps of daylilies or montbretia. They don’t count as invasive in my book. Be careful of invasive plants, but don’t be afraid to use them where they can benefit you. Just try to be conscious of those that are particularly troublesome for everyone else and work to avoid and control them where you can.

here is just something different about the sandcastle competition that really unites the crowd.

Grab your bucket and shovel, and head on down to the historic Taft District on Saturday, Aug. 3, to take part in the 2013 Siletz Bay Sandcastle Competition, sponsored by the Bay Area Merchants Association. Registration begins at noon on the dock just outside of Mo’s Restaurant with competition following. “We had about 74 entrants at last year’s competition,” said Mary Ann McGill, Siletz Bay Sandcastle Competition coordinator. “For this weekend’s competition, we have close to 100 entrants.”

There is a fee of one can or more of food per entrant, which will be donated to the Lincoln County Food Bank. Professional sand artists will be disqualified from the amateur competition. Competition categories include Groups, Pairs, Individuals (over 12 years old) and Kids (12 years and under). Competition in specialized categories such as Best Dog, Best Mermaid, Best Pirate Ship and others will also be held. Competitors will use color-coded materials to stake out their sandcastle building sites on either side of the dock and hold up a colored balloon when their piece is ready to be judged by

It is a free amateur event that caters to all ages, so we get a lot of families competing.” Humpert said the competition helps give Lincoln City an important economic edge. “People come to spend the weekend here,” said Humpert. “They stay at our local motels and hotels. They spend money to eat at our restaurants and shop at our retail stores. It is definitely an

Other quilt show features include a vendor mall, members’ boutique, displays of guild activities, a bed-turning organized by the Latimer Textile Center in Tillamook, and a children’s activity corner. There will also be demonstrations of quilting techniques, tools, and tips from participating vendors. Snacks and lunch selections will be offered by Karen Stillwell of The Diner at Seal Rock. Lunchtime entertainment will be provided by singer-songwriter/artist Dennis McGregor on Friday and by singer-musician Mary Beth Nickel on Saturday.

There is just something different about the sandcastle competition that really unites the crowd.” To help ease the parking crunch, a shuttle will operate from the public parking lot behind Ace Hardware on the east side of Highway 101 to the corner of Ebb and 51st Street. Signs will be posted along the seawall with competition instructions and there will be volunteer hosts stationed on the dock to help answer questions.

partment, the library moved to its current location and sold the building, using the funds for the Driftwood Library Foundation. The library was also given some personal items of Fischer’s, including the Indian basket and painting, to display in the Library’s Fischer meeting room. “Last year, the Foundation asked the museum and the library to look through these things and see whether we wanted any of them as heritage items,” said Anne Hall, NLCHM director. “I found a wonderful SiIetz Indian basket in the collection and also a Maude Wanker painting. Maude Wanker was an internationally known artist who lived here and was instrumental in starting the Lincoln County Art Center (now the Artist Co-op). The library also chose some items to keep in memory of

She was a pioneering woman in Lincoln City and one of the main reasons that we have the beautiful library that we have.” Hall said the heritage gift project is important to keep Fischer’s memory and her contributions to the area alive.

“I love it when something and someone from the past who have made such a significant contribution can be remembered and brought to the present so people understand what we enjoy today,” said Hall. “People worked hard for it and sometimes made great sacrifices and then we forget. So this reminds us that all the things that we enjoy today were due to many people who we need to remember.” The Blanche Fischer Foundation is a private, nonprofit charitable organization founded through a trust established by the late Blanche Fischer, a native of Long Creek and longtime resident and benefactor of Lincoln City. The Foundation makes direct grants on behalf of Oregonians with physical disabilities. The aid may related directly to disability of toward fostering personal independence.

When did this project get started and why? About three to four years ago because we believe in helping out and giving back, both here and abroad. We also have an in-house nonprofit, The Anyway Foundation, which operates two schools and an orphanage in the Trung Treung village located in the Mondulkiri Province of Cambodia. We sell purses, backpacks and bags made in the village and 100 percent of the proceeds go back to the village. (Anywayfoundation.org). How much money has been collected since you began this project and what charities have you donated to?

You had mentioned you were looking for a new charity. What kind of a charity are you looking for? We’re always looking for great causes and people doing great, impactful work in the community to support. This latest “harvest” of donations might be split up among multiple organizations. We tend to prefer to support smaller organizations, for which a modest donation could have a bigger impact, but we support all types of organizations doing good work. About how much money is on the ceiling now?

About $4,000 to date, not including what is currently on the ceiling. Homeless Connect of Lincoln County received some of the past donations, as well as Neighbors For Kids, St. Judes, Newport High, Lincoln City Youth League, Southern Oregon Humane Society, Oregon Care Package, Bright Horizons, Newport Chamber, and CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate Association) For Children.

People donate the dollars, but unlike most tasting rooms, we don’t charge for tasting, so a large portion of our customers donate. A portion of our sales also goes to the Anyway Foundation, local charities, local schools and college scholarships here and abroad. We also noticed people write messages on the bills and the ceiling, what do they write? People often sign their name or write about their trip, such as “Girl’s Weekend 2013,” “20th Anniversary,” “Family Reunion” or even recommendations

A few hundred. A ton of dollar bills were harvested just a few months ago and we have been steadily donating to local causes lately. Give us a brief history of the shop. We opened our Depoe Bay Wine Cave in 1999. It is the second tasting room of Nehalem Bay Winery, where we have been bottling since 1974, making us one of the oldest wineries in the state. We do about 20 different varieties of wines that include traditional whites and reds, as well as fruit wines. So we have something for everyone’s taste. We do a great Pinot Noir, Pinot Noir Blend, Riesling and Blackberry Wine, all of which we are well known for. Our Peach wine is extremely popular this time of year, since it is a true taste of summer. Our grapes for our traditional wines come from the heart of Pinot Noir country on the north end of the Willamette Valley, between Salem and McMinnville. All of the fruits used in our fruit wines are Oregon grown. With the type of bounties we have in Oregon, there is no reason to use any ingredients from elsewhere.
