Customer service key to success at Toby Murry Motors

C “We show them.

‘Here’s what we paid for the vehicle.’”

ommunity and customers matter at Toby Murry Motors in Newport. And that is why a countless number of people have bought cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles at the longtime local dealership.

That is also why customers come back to Toby Murry Motors when its time to buy another vehicle. The dealership sells new and pre-owned Toyota and Nissan vehicles at its location along Highway 101.

“Most of our business is repeat,” said general manager Darrell Goodall, who has been with the dealership for eight years, Toyota for 23 years and selling cars for 46 years. “We get people who have been buying cars here for 30 years. Probably 80 percent of our business is repeat business.

“It’s because it’s a local hometown store. The owner goes out and visits with people. Everybody knows everybody. This isn’t a suit and tie business.

We don’t do the typical car dealership games.”

That translates to being true to their customers. Goodall said all Toyota dealers pay the same price for their vehicles, and Toby Murry Motors is more than willing to put all its cards on the table.

“We show them. ‘Here’s what we

Oregon Coast Community College providing oceans of opportunities

S

ince 1987, Oregon Coast Community College has contributed to the richness of Lincoln County. The college has grown into three permanent facilities along Oregon’s central coast in the communities of Lincoln City, Waldport and Newport, home of the main campus.

Oregon Coast Community College offers a wide array of educational opportunities and student service support resources so that residents of Lincoln County can fulfill their aspirations of earning degrees and certificates. Besides offering lower-division courses that transfer to four-year institutions, OCCC also provides specific training in the disciplines of

“Oregon Coast Community College reflects a commitment to excellence in serving the people of Lincoln County through quality instruction, supporting the student endeavor and creating a great learning environment,” said Interim President Bruce Koike. “The facilities are fantastic, but what’s truly special about Oregon Coast are the human resources of the staff, faculty and volunteers (college foundation and tutors).”

“Having been away from academia for so long, I was not sure how I would react,” said Shiloh Lillith, a current student. “This school has exceeded my highest expectations. I love it here.”

CASA speaks up for the children

W

ith one of the highest rates of youth in foster care in Oregon, Lincoln County needs people willing to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court.

That’s why, in 1988, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Lincoln County was founded. Today, Lincoln County has around 170 children in the foster care system.

CASA volunteers speak on behalf of local abused and neglected children up to age 17 to help the Juvenile Dependency Judge decide the youth’s best future - but the primary goal is to achieve permanency for children in foster care.

“Children in foster care really don’t have a voice. Really what an advocate is there for is to give that child a voice in the legal system,” Executive Director Betsy Henderson said.

Judge David W. Soukup conceived

the idea in 1977, and today, there are more than 900 community CASA programs nationwide.

Without an advocate, children often return to unsafe homes or languish in long-term foster care, risking further abuse or neglect. There can be dire, long-term consequences when they grow up without a safe, loving home.

Youth may suffer from long-term health problems or fall behind in school and socialization.

Of the foster children who never find a permanent home and simply “age out” of the foster care system, only 50 percent will complete high school, 25 percent will be homeless, 40 percent will depend on some form of public assistance and 27 percent of males and 10 percent of females will be incarcerated at least once.

CASA of Lincoln County has helped change the lives of more than

Executive Director Betsy Henderson 2,500 youth by providing them with a powerful advocate. Lincoln County’s CASA serves nearly 200 children annually with 40 volunteers and two staff, and recently combined with Tillamook County’s CASA, where there are about 70 children in foster care, around 30 without advocates.

For the past 25 years, the county has struggled with a difficult decision, though: which children will receive the powerful voice of an advocate and which will not? Current resources only allow Lincoln County’s CASA to serve two-thirds of the need.

CASA is central to fulfilling

society’s most fundamental obligation by making sure a qualified, compassionate adult will fight for and protect a child’s right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to learn and grow in the security of a loving family.

Volunteers are always needed.

Community advocates receive 30 hours of in-depth training and an additional 20 hours of courtroom observation, and upon completion are sworn in and assigned a case, along with a supervisor who will assist them throughout the process.

Each case lasts, on average, two years and requires approximately 10 to 15 volunteer hours each month.

Applications can be filled out at www.casalincolncounty.org/volunteering. Lincoln County’s CASA can be reached at 541-265-3116.

Newport is one of eight Power franchises in Oregon owned by founder Jeff Koehnke and the largest one on the coast. The Newport dealership’s manager is Mike Sherwood.

Overall, the Power Auto Group offers 12 vehicle lines in stores located in Newport, Lincoln City, Sublimity, Salem, Corvallis and Albany; the lines include Nissan, Chevrolet, GMC, Buick, Mazda, Honda, Kia, Ford, Lincoln, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep. Ram and Volkswagen.

The local dealership, located at 1107 N. Coast Highway, is gearing up for a grand opening event on Jan. 15 of a new Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep showroom on the corner of NW 12th Street and Highway 101.

Newport Sales Manager Mike Woodward said the dealership’s sales have increased gradually as the econ-

omy has shown signs of rebounding.

“Business has been escalating as interest rates have dropped to an alltime low of 1.74 percent for a six-year contract,” said Woodward. “As a result, we’re offering more inventory for our customers and revenue for the city as we expand.”

Woodward said the dealership is retailing an estimated 300 to 350 new vehicles and as many as 700 pre-owned vehicles annually. Generally, he said, it’s beginning to be more difficult to find used cars because it’s a market that’s become very competitive, “but with the our large inventory, we can always find something for our customers.”

Power consolidated its two lots to the North Coast Highway location after closing down the lot it had at 27 S. Coast Highway, the location of the new Walgreens store.

ower Ford of Lincoln City has made a specialty of meeting the needs of the working men and women of Lincoln County with affordable, dependable used vehicles.

“Our real niche is pre-owned, and we’re buying stuff all the time,” said manager Stacey Ehrenfelt, whose eye for quality rolling stock has been sharpened by 35 years of automotive experience, including 15 on the mechanical side. “We appraise and buy cars at the lot, get them from wholesalers and other stores and always take trade-ins. Our inventory is always moving and different.”

The Power car lot at 1940 Northeast Highway 101 in Lincoln City is typically packed with 40 to 45 ultra-clean, shop-inspected cars, pickups, SUVs and vans, most priced under $10,000 to fit the “economy” buyer whose job balances on reliable transportation.

Gold Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac “Trucks. Everybody wants trucks.”

G

old Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac of Newport is proud to lay claim to being the only certified General Motors dealership in Lincoln County.

As a result, the family owned dealership offers a sweeping inventory of sparkling new and preowned cars, trucks and sport utility vehicles on its roughly 4-acre property along N Coast Highway between NW 14th and NW 15th streets.

“Trucks.

Everybody wants trucks,” said Mike Henneman, vice president of the dealership, on the best selling vehicles.

“Chevy, three-quarter ton crew cabs.”

He said the redesigned 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Coupe is also getting a lot of attention from would-be buyers, but the vehicle is tough to come by because of its popularity with car aficionados.

Meet Lincoln County | 2014

Chevrolet bills the vehicle, propelled by a 460-horsepower V8 engine, as the “quickest, most powerful, most capable standard Corvette ever made.” The Corvette Stingray is also striking with its sculpted, aesthetically pleasing exterior.

“We have a waiting list,” said Henneman on demand for the sports car.

The distinction of being the only certified GM dealership in Lincoln County also means that Gold is the place where customers go to get GM certified service, parts and accessories in Lincoln County.

The service department also services all makes and models, not just GM. Coupled with a topnotch collision center, the dealership offers a full line of automobile services at one location.

thrives in Lincoln County Continued from previous page dealership underwent a remodel in order to “update to the GM look,” said Henneman around the time the work was being performed.

The remodeling project came in the aftermath of a corporate restructuring in 2009 that closed a number of GM dealerships across the country.

Gold was one of hundreds of GM dealers who were looking at losing their franchises as part of a government ordered reorganization following a bankruptcy filing and massive financial bailout.

But Gold was able to convince GM to keep the franchise, in part because of a big show of support from the community, and eventually surfaced as an exclusive GM “superstore” offering one-stop shopping for customers.

“We went from no GM dealership in Lincoln County to where we are today,” Henneman said.

The effort preserved the GM

name in Lincoln County where Chevrolet has long had a presence. Chevy’s roots in the county date back to F.M. Woodson’s dealership in Toledo in 1927.

The dealership moved to its existing location in 1964. Mike Gold bought the dealership in 1990.

Gold Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac is located at 1422 N Coast Highway in Newport. The dealership employs about 30 to 35 fulland part-time people.

Hours for the sales department are Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. The sales department is closed Sunday.

hen Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City opened for business in May 1995, it was located in a temporary tent facility. But it didn’t take long to upgrade, and in June 1996, the move was made into a beautiful new building.

Since that time, Chinook Winds Casino Resort has grown by leaps and bounds, becoming the largest employer in Lincoln County and host to more than one million visitors per year at the only oceanfront casino resort in Oregon.

The casino resort’s success is a byproduct of many factors, including an accompanying hotel complex and golf resort, as well as a top-notch lineup of entertainers each year who perform at the Chinook Winds Showroom.

The Chinook Winds Resort Hotel features 227 rooms with 49 petfriendly, standard ocean view rooms, 61 junior suites, an indoor heated swimming pool, sauna and spa. The hotel also boasts a guest laundry, a full-service restaurant and lounge, about 7,000 square feet of meeting space and a complimentary shuttle service to the casino.

The 18-hole golf measures more than 4,500 yards with picturesque fairways and greens, and it features plenty of challenges and fun for players of all levels. After a round, golfers can enjoy tasteful dining at Aces Bar & Grill, which features a lovely view of the course, big-screen televisions, pool tables, shuffleboard and an indoor golf simulator.

The opulent casino is first-rate, offering a wide range of slots, video poker machines, full-pay games, onecent and two-cent slots, and a sterling selection of dining options.

The casino also offers more than 20 table games, with betting limits starting at $5, as well as nonsmoking tables, full beverage service, a poker room, poker tournaments, Keno, and the largest Bingo payouts in the area.

The casino also offers more than 20 table games, with betting limits starting at $5.

There is also the Chinook Winds Play Palace and Games Galore Arcade entertainment facility, where parents and grandparents can take children to have a good time.

The resort’s versatility gives tourists even more reason to make Lincoln County their destination.

“We help make one’s stay longer than a single day,” said Heather Hatton, public relations manager at Chi-

nook Winds Casino Resort.

The end result is huge for the regional economy, generating valuable room tax revenue and tourism dollars spent at local shops, restaurants and businesses.

“Beyond the visitors, Chinook Winds Casino Resort donates and sponsors heavily within our county,” Hatton said. “We contribute monies and in-kind items and services, offer opportunities and provide facilities to raise funds, and supply volunteer manpower, advertising support, funds, and amenities to a large number of organizations and events within the entire state of Oregon.”

Chinook Winds Casino Resort is owned and operated by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, which spends millions of dollars each year buying products and services locally.

Chinook Winds Casino Resort has more than 800 full-time and 50 parttime, on-call employees through the year.

After all operation costs are paid, income is used solely for tribal purposes ranging from government operations to general welfare and economic development. General operations include enhancement programs for care of elders, as well as education, scholarships, Honor Guard and Culture Camp.

Chinook Winds Casino Resort is located at 1777 NW 44th St., Lincoln City. Chinook Winds Casino Resort is open 24 hours per day, seven days a week.

he oldest business in the county, the News-Times has been providing its readers with the latest news for 132 years. And its done so with a commitment to accuracy and a civic responsibility to inform readers of what they need to and want to know.

“We’re the voice, the mouthpiece of the community and we have a responsibility to do it right,” said Publisher Jamie Rand.

As Editor Steve Card always tells him, “You can’t unring a bell.”

In 2012-13, the Newport Chamber of Commerce selected the News-Times as business of the year for its innovative marketing process.

It has a 98 percent reader penetration rate with the newspaper and mailers sent out each week-the highest in Oregon.

Since News Media Corporation took the News-Times over in 2007, purchasing it from Lee Enterprises, there have been highly

involved publishers who have overseen the paper’s progress and new staff members added, including a new production manager and reporters in 2013, to name a few.

With the new year, Rand said, readers should look for more stories and a new online digital presence that’s currently in the works.

“We have the staff to be able to get more involved and indepth with their stories,” he said. “We have a staff that covers a lot more of the news, and because we are still a print publication, we have to go through the detail of making sure things are right the first time.”

And while the News-Times is a bi-weekly paper that produces a print product just two days a week, staff and management have come in during early and late hours of the workweek and on the weekend to post breaking news, such as the Lincoln City police standoff that occurred Jan. 3, to keep readers in the know with what’s going on in their community.

Facebook was utilized to get that story out and as the year progresses, readers should look for more ways to get their information as the News-Times staff prepares to better employ social media.

“We want to meet the readers where they are,” Rand said.

“It really is a team effort,” he added, saying everyone chips in and gets what is asked of them done.

The News-Times runs on 30 employees who work both in the public eye and behind the scenes

writing the stories; editing them; laying them, the photos taken and advertisements sold out on the pages; printing it all out and delivering it. Not to mention the office staff who helps keeps things running smoothly.

The paper’s advertising and editorial managers have been in the community for a long time, Rand said, and know it well.

Because Newport is small, staff often interact with their clients and the readers they serve as they complete daily tasks, such as grocery shopping. And many NewsTimes employees are involved in their community outside of the newspaper.

As the county’s leading source of information, it’s important to be a dependable source, Rand said, that the community feels like its a part of.

He added that many already do feel comfortable enough to come to the News-Times when there’s a problem, but encourages readers to continue to share their voices

with letters to the editor. Those with story ideas or news tips can also contact the office.

“People know where to find us,” he said.

The News-Times, born when the Newport News merged with the Lincoln County Times of Waldport in the 1960s, publishes on Wednesdays and Fridays.

It also puts out multiple special publications throughout the year, including Travel Newport and

Lincoln City Fun, that provides both local and visiting readers with an overview of what Lincoln County has to offer.

Hatfield Marine and NOAA fleets at dock

Lincoln County’s Marine Economic growth through studying the sea

L

incoln County residents have always made a living from the sea. Fishing is in our history and in our blood, and our tourism economy relies heavily on our gorgeous beaches. Another ocean-related economic engine here is marine science, a major and growing sector of our economy. From cutting-edge research to ocean monitoring to innovative educational approaches, we make it our business to learn about the ocean and educate children and adults about its mysteries.

Oregon State University’s (OSU) Hatfield Marine Science Center (HMSC) is the centerpiece of this sector. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2015, HMSC employs about 300 scientists, educators, students, and support staff. In addition to OSU faculty members based at HMSC, many government agencies are colocated on the South Beach campus, including personnel from the federal National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U. S. Fish & Wildlife Service, the U. S. Department of Agriculture, the

38

U. S. Geological Survey, and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. The overall budget of the center, including both OSU and agency budgets, is approximately $46 million.

One of the center’s greatest strengths is collaborative research, facilitated by the co-location of so many agencies. The cutting-edge research at HMSC includes studies of salmon genetics, impacts of ocean acidification on fish and shellfish, underwater volcanoes, oyster nutrition, marine mammal migrations, and more.

The center operates two research vessels: The 54-foot Elakha, used for coastal work, and the 177-foot Oceanus for work offshore. OSU’s Marine Mammal Institute also operates the R/V Pacific Storm, a retrofitted trawler. OSU was recently awarded a contract to lead the development of the next series of federal research vessels; one of the first to be produced will operate out of Newport, replacing the aging Oceanus.

OSU is planning an extensive expansion of the HMSC facility, mission, and programs. The goal of the initiative is to integrate all of OSU’s

ocean-related offerings and expand residents of Lincoln County).

While coordination and management of the OOI program locally (and, in part, regionally) is being conducted by faculty at Oregon State University in Corvallis, a Newport presence is planned, and local contractors and businesses could be utilized for tasks such as buoy maintenance, storage, and repair.

Thanks in part to the concentration of marine science being conducted in Newport, an equally impressive array of marine education programs is also clustered here. Hatfield is a critical center of marine education, providing undergraduate and graduate education through OSU and HMSC’s partner agencies, as well as public education via its Oregon Sea Grant-run Visitor Center. The Visitor Center is also a laboratory where exciting new research is being conducted by OSU faculty and graduate students on how people learn in informal learning environments like museums.

Seeing the potential for major economic growth based on the marine research sector, local economic development interests, businesses, scientists, and community leaders have developed a group to help address this issue proactively. The Yaquina Bay Ocean Observing Initiative (YBOOI) is committed to pursuing collaborative economic development opportunities for Newport and Lincoln County related to ocean observing activities. They have conducted multiple strategic planning events and an ocean observing conference in Newport in recent years, and a steering committee is spearheading efforts to capitalize on these opportunities.

The room for growth in this sector is enormous. YBOOI, the Chamber of Commerce, the City of Newport, Lincoln County, and the Port of Newport are all committed to encouraging businesses to relocate or grow in Newport and on the central coast in general. There isn’t a better place in the Pacific Northwest to build a marine-related business.

ne important measure of a community is how well it takes care of its citizens, in sickness and in health.

Newport is lucky to have not only an excellent hospital, but a range of other health care facilities and options to choose from.

Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital is the major health care center in the city. Located just off Highway 101 overlooking the Yaquina Bay Bridge, SPCH Hospital has been meeting the health care needs of area residents since 1952. Currently, the hospital is a 25-bed critical access hospital, with 380 employees, 110 of whom are nurses, and 120 volunteers.

SPCH is fully accredited by the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Health Care Organizations (JCAHO). The hospital offers a complete range of health and medical services including 24-hour, physician-staffed emergency care, a full-service medical laboratory, physical therapy and rehabilitation, outpatient surgery and single-room maternity care.

About a dozen chiropractic offices can also be found in Newport.

Those seeking alternative medicine approaches will also find many options in Newport. There are four clinics that provide acupuncture services and three naturopaths practicing in town. A wide selection of massage therapists also practice here, including at a number of small day spas.

M & P Thai Authentic Cuisine Tasty, traditional and spicy

“We focus on customer service. It is very important to keep the customer coming back.”

& P Authentic Thai Cuisine, located along Newport’s historic Bayfront, is under new management and cooking up traditional, tasty and spicy Thai dishes.

Originally from Thailand, Day and Richy Chay moved to Newport from Southern California last August.

Day Chay said they have years of experience in the restaurant business and that it was their time to start their own operation.

“We bring Thai food to Newport and the central Oregon coast in the original Thai style of cooking. We have all spice levels, and we have vegetarian and gluten-free dishes also,” he said. “Our food is fresh and healthy.”

For those wanting to try something new and authentically Thai, Chay recommends the papaya salad, or Som-Tum. This salad blends the fresh and spicy flavors of shredded green papaya mixed with garlic, chili, lime juice, carrot, tomato, fresh shrimp and Thai special dressing.

M & P Thai Cuisine pride themselves on exceptional customer service and make your dining experience an enjoyable one. The Chays do everything from taking your order, serving your food and even holding the door for you on your way in and out of the restaurant.

“We focus on customer service. It is very important to keep the customer coming back. I want to take care of them,” Chay said.

M & P Thai Authentic Cuisine owners Day and Richy Chay invite people to stop by their restaurant to try cuisine cooked up in the traditional Thai style The delicious lunch specials are another great way to keep customers smiling at M & P Thai. Lunch specials are offered throughout the

week at only $8.95 and include an appetizer, soup and entrée.

“It comes with our daily soup, an appetizer and the best selection of Thai food. This food is everywhere in Thailand,” Chay said. “We select the best popular food for you until you try every dish and pick your favorite one from Thailand.”

Daily lunch specials are offered from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

And, you can enjoy Thai cuisine any day of the week. M & P Thai Cuisine is open daily from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.

The Chays invite diners to come try real spicy Thai cuisine at their establishment, located at 836 SW Bay Blvd.

Chay said they have very spicy dishes for those brave enough to try them.

“It’s going to be real, real spicy. ‘Thai spicy’ is very spicy,” he said.

But don’t worry, the menu has plenty of medium, mild and mellow flavors for those people who enjoy just a little bit of spice.

“Yes it is spicy, but don’t worry, we have things that suit your tastes,” he said.

For takeout orders or more information, call 541-264-8388, or visit M & P Thai Cuisine online at www. newportthaifood.com
