LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

Coast gets ready for take off Will crowd funding put Lincoln County in the TV limelight?

Get your jelly on

PATRICK ALEXANDER The News Guard

Plans are under way for the Oregon Coast Aquarium’s fifth annual Jellyfish Jubilee; A Celebration of Food and Wine, from 6 to 9 p.m. Sept. 22. Culinary Chairman Craig Joubert from Stone Crest Cellars, and Wine Chair Thomas McLaren from The Bay House, will select this year’s chefs and featured wines for the event, benefitting the Aquarium’s exhibits, animal care and education programs. The event will also provide an opportunity to see the Aquarium’s new Sea and Me exhibit, which opened Memorial Day weekend. See Page B1

wo directors have set their sights on Lincoln County as the location for a pair of TV series, with both hoping to mobilize an army of online supporters to help get their projects off the ground. Ron West, production director of Workprint Productions, said he hopes to use the area from Lincoln City to Newport for all the scenes in “Coastal Disturbances,” a series based around a small

newspaper on the Oregon Coast. “The Oregon Coast has a unique appearance and culture that really isn’t duplicated,” he said. “It’s not Maine. It’s not Vermont. It sure as heck isn’t Southern California, though it’s been passed off as a couple of those in the past.” Lincoln County also features prominently in plans by Lincoln City-raised director Rocco DeVilliers to create a TV series follow up to his 2008 feature film “The Flyboys,” a project he describes as his “homage to ‘The Hardy

Boys.’” “It’s important to me to bring the series back to the place where I grew up and really inspired my interest in ‘The Hardy Boys’ in the first place,” he said.

As well as turning their attention to the Coast at the same time, both DeVilliers and West hope to use crowd funding websites to help turn their visions into reality. Crowd funding websites

such as Kickstarter.com and Indiegogo.com allow artists of all types to promote their ideas to a worldwide audience. See TAKE OFF, Page A2

Emergency vehicles filled the street, medical personnel prepared a gurney with restraint straps, a police officer called his sergeant to supervise, saying: “It looks like it’s going to get physical.” This was the scene in an otherwise quiet residential neighborhood near the Tanger Outlet Center on Wednesday, Aug. 1, when a resident at a group home for adults with developmental disabilities required medical attention. Sgt. Jeff Winn was one of five Lincoln City police officers who came to assist medical personnel in case the young man needed to be restrained. “He got angry and he was hitting the wall,” Winn said. “He wasn’t trying to hurt himself or anyone else. He just happened to hit the mirror and it broke and the glass cut him.” In the end, the police were not needed as the young man emerged from the house peacefully and co-operated with ambulance staff. But for neighbors, the incident was the latest in a long line of disruptions caused by the group home. “It’s a mess,” said Bill Ennis, who lives across the street, adding: “The peace of the neighborhood is constantly disrupted.”

housands of people visited Siletz this past weekend for the Nesika Illahee Pow Wow hosted by the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians. People came from tribes all over the western states, as well as the midwest and the southwest to participate in the biggest pow wow this side of the Cascades. There were 40 drums, 60 vendor and craft booths and a lot of good food, including a delicious grilled salmon dinner on Sunday, provided free to all. “This is a way to welcome

our neighbors,“ said Siletz Tribal Chairman Delores Pigsley. Hundreds of dancers from numerous tribes and traditions came to the pow wow to represent their tribes and compete for cash prizes. There were traditional dancers, fancy dancers and jingle dancers, feather dancers, grass dancers and round bustle dancers all in full regalia; there was a tiny tot dance contest for children from all tribes, toddlers to six years old, who danced both with their parents and alone, demonstrating skill and enthusiasm in great measure.

InterCommunity Health Network CCO (Coordinated Care Organization), the organization responsible for unifying health services and systems in Benton, Lincoln, and Linn counties to provide care for Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members, has invited county residents to apply for membership on its community advisory council. The CCO is working to find answers to problems in local communities that may be getting in the way of good health. Advisory Council members will look at the health needs of their county and help the CCO decide where to focus its efforts.

Under a coordinated approach, Hall said, a health care navigator would be empowered to nip the problem in the bud, spending $500 on an air conditioner instead of several hundred thousand dollars treating the effects of heart failure.
