Output Music reopening in LC
MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
Output Music was a music community cornerstone for Lincoln County from 2005 to 2011 and a local favorite for music lovers. And in 2020 Output will be reopening even bigger and better than ever under the new name ‘Output Records.’ Lincoln City’s new again music store will sell vinyl records, turntables, music accessories and a curated selection of clothing, home goods and accessories. Owners, Corrie and Taj Richardson, said they have a new goal of helping the Central Oregon Coast get into vinyl records. “The music format has made a big comeback over the last 10 years; we’re

It’s what some might call a happy accident or a pleasant coincidence. When you walk into the new Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, you’ll see several striking photographs, most containing a hidden heart, tucked away in nature.
“It’s like a little hidden meaning that maybe isn’t meant to be there, but it’s really special for us because it’s what we do… we take care of people,” said Chief Executive Officer Lesley Ogden, MD, MBA, FACEP. The photos in the new $42 million facility are the handy work of local photographers Bob Gibson and Jeri Knudson, owners of The Photography Studio in the Taft district of Lincoln City. Working together in some way or another since 1992, Gibson worked as an human resources consultant in West Linn and met Knudson who worked for a company that he was doing HR consulting work for.
“We kept in touch and when we discovered we both did photography we started working together,” Knudson said. The pair each their own photography business, Gibson coined Blue Water Photography and Knudson owned JAKs Photography Studio. In 2013, they began exclusively working together. With year’s of photography experience, Gibson and Knudson have put together several wonderful pieces of art. But when the hospital approached them with an ambitious goal of creating large high definition images for their new

Output Records will be opening in Lincoln City on April 4. The store will be located in the Oceanlake district next to Bob’s Beach Books.
LCPD achieves fundraising goal for new K9 program THE NEWS GUARD
The members of the Lincoln City Police Department are pleased to announce that the fundraising efforts for the department’s K9 program has successfully reached its initial goal of $75,000. “We would like to take the opportunity to sincerely thank all the citizens, businesses and organizations who so generously donated to the fund raising efforts for the department to obtain and implement a K9 program,” LCPD officials said. “The response and support from the public has been phenomenal and we sincerely appreciate the generosity from our community members and businesses, as well as those outside the community who stepped up and made this program happen.” LCPD gave a special thank you to Meredith Lodging along with Oksenholt Capital, who put out a matching funds challenge that helped push the fundraising efforts up to and over the initial goal. Meredith Lodging and Oksenholt Capital joined together to donate up to $10,000 for the
LCPD K9 Project, which was matched by the community in December. “The entire city benefits from this important program,” said Aaron Linfoot, vice president of operations for Meredith Lodging back in October. “Meredith Lodging is committed to investing in the success of the communities where our employees live and work, and where our Meredith Lodging owners have homes.” LCPD stated that the mission of the K9 Project is to promote a positive relationship between the community and the LCPD through education on the modern day use of the Law Enforcement K9. Oksenholt Capital CEO Jon Oksenholt said his company was honored to join in on helping the LCPD reach their goal. “The police work hard to keep our communities safe,” Oksenholt said. “Statistics

Samaritan hospitals earn top star ratings for quality care THE NEWS GUARD
Samaritan Health Services is celebrating its first affiliated hospital to be awarded five out of five stars by the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). While Samaritan Albany General Hospital obtained the top five-star rating, other Samaritanaffiliated hospitals also did very well, including North Lincoln Hospital, who rated four out of five stars. Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital improved its
- Mortality - Safety of care - Readmissions - Patient experience - Effectiveness of care - Timeliness of care - Efficient use of medical imagrating from three to four stars; Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center retained its four-star rating from 2019; and Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital retained its three-star rating. The CMS five-star rating system for hospitals is based on performance in seven categories:
ing Within these categories, all five Samaritan-affiliated hospitals exceeded the national average in readmissions. Samaritan Albany, Samaritan Lebanon, Good Samaritan and Samaritan North Lincoln exceeded in patient experience, Samaritan Albany and Good Samaritan exceeded in safety of care
and Samaritan Albany, Samaritan Lebanon and Samaritan Pacific exceeded in timeliness of care. “Providing high-quality care to our patients is our highest priority and I am very proud of our entire Samaritan team for these recent star designations,” said Doug Boysen, president and CEO of Samaritan Health Services. “These outstanding results reflect the sustained, focused effort we are making to strengthen our performance in ways that are visible to the public and that compare favorably to hospitals in Oregon and nationwide.”
Of the 4,586 hospitals rated by CMS, nine percent currently hold five-star ratings, 25 percent hold four stars, 24 percent hold three stars, 15 percent hold two stars and five percent hold one star. “It’s an honor to be rated in the top nine percent of all hospitals across the nation,” said Dan Keteri, CEO of Samaritan Albany General Hospital. “This rating is a testament to the excellent patient care that our staff provides every day. I’m proud of our team and the pride they exhibit with every patient.”
NLFR crews recover two on stranded jet ski near Roads End MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
A non-threating situation provided a few valuable lessons for both rescuers and rescuees this week when a jet ski malfunctioned in the ocean. On Feb. 17, at about 12:24 p.m., North Lincoln Fire and Rescue was dispatched to a report of two juvenile males stranded on a jet ski near Roads End. After entering the ocean waters through the mouth of the Salmon River, the jet ski suffered an unknown mechanical failure, according to NLFR.
“They went through the jaws of the Salmon River and couldn’t get the jet ski up and running again,” said NLFR Public Information Officer Dennis Knudsen. “They began drifting through the surf and by the time we got to them they were down near Roads End State Park.” NLFR water rescue crews embarked into the surf on jet skis of their own to recover the two males and the stranded jet ski. “The rescue was the simple part,” Knudsen said. “Since they were about 100 yards from the breakers, there wasn’t any threat of

The North Lincoln Fire and Rescue crews took jet skis out into the ocean on Monday to recover two juvenile males and their stranded jet ski. danger.” Each person was brought back to shore for
evaluation. The tricky part however, was the recovery of their jet ski.
“The challenging part was getting their immobile jet ski through the surf and to shore,” Knudsen said. “Because of the conditions we had to leave it for the Coast Guard to recover.” No injuries were suffered during the recovery and the water rescue crew used this incident as a rare training moment during this time of year. “We don’t get many water rescues with the jet skis this time of year,” Knudsen said. “It’s much more common in the spring and summer time when people are out in the water and they might get caught up in
a rip current.” Water training sessions are also scarce during the winter months for a couple of reasons. One it gets dark earlier so NLFR is limited on time and two, most of their water rescue team members are volunteers, so they have to work around all our schedules. That being said, NLFR is planning to do more training soon. “We are also looking at getting that car out of the river that has been on Highway 18 for a few weeks,” Knudsen said. “We’ve been waiting for water levels to drop.”

Lincoln County brewery taps two medals at Best of Craft Beer Awards MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
Oregon is home to some of the best craft beers in the United States. In one of the state’s biggest competitions, Lincoln County’s own Wolf Tree Brewery stood among the top honored medalists. Wolf Tree Brewery is a Nanobrewery located on a family run cattle ranch in the town of Seal Rock. They produce beer using the finest ingredients and local resources whenever possible. Their mission is to craft unique and distinctive beers that encompass the ranch and surrounding coastal forests. During the weekend of February 7-9, professional brewers and judges
descended on the famous beer town of Bend, Oregon to judge more than 2,200 entries into the 2020 Best of Craft Beer Awards competition. Breweries of all sizes sent more than 11,000 containers of their finest products for evaluation based on a combined 147 specific beer categories. Judging took place during five sessions over a 3-day period by 100 of the most qualified national judges. They awarded 285 gold, silver, and bronze medals to 375 brewery locations around the world. Wolf Tree Brewery was awarded the Gold Medal for their Spruce Tip Ale in the Historic Beer category. “We are absolutely
thrilled,” head-brewer and owner Joe Hitselberger said. “Big competitions like this put us head-to-head with some of the biggest and best across the country.” Wolf Tree also took home the Silver Medal for their soured spruce tip ‘Rake the Forest’ in the American Sour category. “It really showcases what we can do with Craft Beer here on the Central Coast,” Hitselberger added. All of Wolf Tree’s awardwinning beers are available to sample at the Wolf Tree Brewery Taproom in Newport’s South Beach, as well as at restaurants, bars, and markets throughout Portland, the Valley and the Coast.

selling turntables too, so if someone doesn’t have one already, we can get them set up with a turntable, speakers, and their first record for around $150 bucks,” the Richardsons said. Beyond selling records and goods, Output Records has a mission statement that focuses on building the music community on the Central Oregon Coast. “A big part of us wanting to reopen Output is to build
TheNewsGuard.com
up a music community that gets the kids involved with music,” the owners said. “At the old Output we had a basement we would host bands in; these were all ages shows and at times we’d have 50 or more Lincoln City kids enjoying a safe music experience they were not getting before. “When we had to close down in 2011, we saw the music community fade away as well.” Lincoln City will have a place for people of all ages
to be able to see live music again when Output Records opens, which has become a priority for Corrie and Taj. Output Records will also create a shopping experience for customers through different hosted events. The events will include the all ages shows, planned for one Friday a month, an annual music gear swap meet, guest DJs spinning vinyl, Sunday Brews and Browse events and Record Store Pop-Ups. The Brews and Browse events are planned
to allow of-age patrons to receive a complimentary beer from the Output team while browsing the store’s vinyl selection and listening to live music. “We’re thinking with these Brews and Browse events we might be able to partner with Oregon Coast breweries, bringing in a different brewery once a month to share their current flavors,” Corrie said. The Record Store PopUp events will be a chance for Output Records to get

out into the community. “We want to partner with local businesses to help the central coast learn that Lincoln City has a record store again, get people excited about collecting vinyl, and bring new customers into these partnering businesses,” Taj said. “At the pop-ups we’ll bring records to sell and will spin some of our favorites as well.” These events are planned to occur four times a year. Output Records is planning a grand opening event
in Lincoln City on Saturday, April 4. The store can be found on the west side of Highway 101 in Lincoln City’s Oceanlake district, in the pink house right next to Bob’s Beach Books. They will be open Monday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Sundays from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. You can also follow the progress toward their opening on Instagram by searching for output_records.

building, they were a bit skeptical. “We had a meeting and they told us they needed high resolution photographs that could be enlarged up to 27 feet high and others that would be 12 feet high by nine feet wide,” Gibson said. “We looked at it and we figured that we needed to come up with a strategy because I wasn’t sure if it was even possible. But Jeri said, ‘I think we can do it,’ so we went for it.” From the beginning design plans, Ogden said there was a plan to use more photography in this hospital than they had before, since it could be cleaned easier than other pieces of art. Once SNLH executives began talking it through with architects, they came up with a vision for what they wanted. However, the images they received were not quite what they were looking for. “As we got into what those images would be, we were presented with some stock photos from an outside company that were clearly not from around here,” Ogden said. “It wasn’t part of our vision.” Another challenge was finding photographers that could enlarge a high definition image on a grand scale. Ogden said she knew just who to call once they began talking about the specifications. “We needed a greater skill set to produce the final product that we wanted,” she said. “I said, there’s only one person in town that we knew could do it. So we contacted Bob and Jeri.” The Photography Studio was given the task of finding forest shots and beach shots that fit the mold of the hospitals concept design. The idea of the new building is to feel like you are walking into a forest as you enter, says Ogden. This is why visitors will notice brown and green colors toward the entrance. As you walk through the hospital, walking toward the Devils Lake, visitors will progress through the forest to the ocean or lake and the colors start changing to blues. “We used our creativity to create our photographs after we were given the topical subject for each one,” Gibson said. “It was quite a project to work on. But to hear all the positive feedback… it’s just incredible and makes it really rewarding.” To find the images, Gibson and Knudson visited Agnes Creek, Fogarty Creek Beach and the beach near Nelscot.

way around. “It’s amazing because when we went to Agnes Creek, we spent time looking around and then all the sudden it was there,” Knudson said. “It wasn’t like we had to look all over, each image just kind of came to us, which I thought was so cool.” After taking the photos, they were then sent over to Ogden and her crew, who seemed to have an ‘aha’ moment of their own as they looked through multiple images. “When we looked at them we thought, which one speaks to us the most,” Ogden said. “In every case, something just stood out and we said, ‘that’s the one.’ It’s probably the easiest, most fun meeting I was apart of.” The photos were then printed courtesy of a company in Illinois on something that resembles a vinyl wallpaper. Installers pieced together the large photos and the final product was stunning. “It was really a function of the photography we did and the processing, and we were able to pull it all together,” Gibson said. The unique images feature some of the more remote areas of North Lincoln County and it wasn’t by accident. “We are often asked to take photos that will represent Lincoln City, like the iconic shots of Cascade Head or the four brothers in Siletz Bay, but this isn’t like that,” Gibson said. “I think that’s kind of a cool thing.” For the hospital staff, they couldn’t be happier with how the photos and installation turned out. What makes it even more special was the fact that local photographers captured very local, one-of-a-kind images. “Anytime we can use local we will,” Ogden said. “It doesn’t make since to bring in someone from the outside when there are people here who can do it. It also makes it our hospital in that way. That’s why I think this is so special, because it’s part of us.”

The News Guard has several options for submitting obituaries:
I want to thank Congressman Earl Blumenauer for introducing a proactive bill to help communities better prepare for flooding and address problems related to frequently flooded properties. Congressman Blumenauer is the chief sponsor of H.R. 5776 (Repeatedly Flooded Communities Preparation Act). Our community is a coastal county full of rivers, waterway and mountains. While it makes for beautiful scenery, it also exposes us to flood risk. We work very hard to plan and prepare for flooding events but nature does not always respect those plans. As a result our county has had several properties that are classified as repetitive loss properties. These are properties that have had two or more claims exceeding
$1,000 paid by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) within a 10-year period. Severe repetitive loss properties are those properties with four or more damage claims exceeding $5,000 or two or more claims exceeding the building value. Repetitive loss structures and severe repetitive loss properties are troublesome because they continue to expose lives and valuable property to flooding hazards. Continued repetitive loss claims from flood events lead to an increased amount of damage caused by floods, higher insurance rates and contribute to the rising cost of taxpayer funded disaster relief for flood victims. So, this is a problem we have a vested interest in fixing. The problem is that, with a changing climate, the number of these repeat loss properties across the country are on the rise. According to a 2009 report by the
Department of Homeland Security’s Inspector General, the number of repeatedly flooded properties was increasing by nearly 5,000 each year—a growth rate that outpaces FEMA’s efforts to flood-proof affected communities. NFIP, in large part due to the costs of repeat loss properties, is in serious debt to the tune of $20.5 billion. Congressman Blumenauer’s bill seeks to tackle the problem by helping communities participating in NFIP to better plan and better prepare for floods. Communities with 50 or more repetitive loss properties or at least 5 severe repetitive loss properties would be required to identify those problem flood areas on a map. Mapping analysis will help communities gain a greater understanding of the nature of the flood risk and the options for mitigation. Each community will also be
asked to create its own unique plan to lower flood risk. Recognizing that flooding challenges vary from one community to another, this proposal does not impose a one-sizefits-all solution or require a specific change in the number of repetitive loss properties. It requires development of a local plan and authorizes FEMA to work with the community and to assure that the community makes progress in addressing the problem. In Lincoln County we have been and will remain proactive in preparing our communities for flood events and we hope that communities throughout the state and the country will do the same. Congressman Blumenauer’s H.R. 5776 will help local communities in that task and his leadership on this issue is most welcome.

OR 97365 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $31,165.83 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $171,690.30 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 6/1/2018, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, in-
cluding all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 6/4/2020 at the hour of 10:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the south entrance to the Lincoln County Courthouse, located at 225 W Olive Street, Newport, OR 97365 County of LINCOLN, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest GREGORY

Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $16,767.83 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $344,263.48 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay.
By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 11/1/2018, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due (if applicable) for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off.

Music is Instrumental hosts two-day fundraiser at Salishan Resort MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
Giving students the gift of music education is what Music is Instrumental is all about. This coming weekend, the local nonprofit is looking to ensure they are able to do that by hosting a twoday musical fundraiser at Salishan Resort. Taft 7-12 has been a big beneficiary of the Music is Instrumental program. Principal Nick Lupo has watched the evolution of the Studio to School/MII program and its effects on kids over the past five years. “At the end of the first year of having music in 2015, assessment data revealed that reading and mathematics scores tended to be higher for the 65 students who chose sixth-grade band,” Lupo said. “Knowing that all students
could benefit, we required that the next year all 122 students take band in sixth grade. It was an easy decision to make in order to benefit all students.” Oceanlake Elementary Principal Sandy Mummey notes a similar impact on their students in kindergarten through second grade. “Research shows that students who are exposed to music have increased attendance and do better on academic assessments,” Mummey said. “This year we have an increase in our regular attendance rate, and students are demonstrating increased reading proficiency on district assessments.” Taft music director Mike Freel observes that out of the student body as a whole, many of the highest educational scoring students are in band, choir or both. “This is a true testament to the

where all the fun happens.”
On Feb. 21, the 16 member jazz band under the direction of Freel, will kick off the two-day event along with jazz artists Kate Morrison and David Captain. Doors will open at 7 p.m. with the concert beginning at 7:30 p.m. There will be a no host beer and wine bar and tickets will cost $35. On Saturday,violin, cello and accordion trio 3 Leg Torso provides music and dancing starting at 5 p.m. There will also be silent and oral auctions, food and fine wines by Salishan, dessert dash, raffle and more. Tickets for Saturday’s festivities are available for $95 and tickets for both days can be purchased for $115.

Tigers send five to State after strong showing at districts MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
In one of the state’s most competitive districts, the Taft 7-12 wrestling team proved they could compete, as five Tigers punched their ticket to the State Tournament in Portland. Taft traveled to Amity on Feb. 14-15 for the 3A Special District 2 Championship to compete against eight other schools. During day one, 18 out of the 20 Tiger wrestlers survived to wrestle in day two and six boys were still competing in the championship side of the bracket in semifinal matches. “We had a great first day at districts,â€? head coach Robb Ellis wrote afterwards. “Big return from injury by William Calderon, winning both matches‌ Arnoldo Ortiz also won both matches.â€? Ellis also highlighted senior Tony Garcia on day one, who pulled off a big victory over the fourth ranked wrestler from Warrenton in the 220-pound weight class. “Tony has struggled through injury this season but has never given up,â€? Ellis said. “This was a big win for him and the team.â€? The Tigers exceeded coaches’ expectations in day two, as several grapplers found themselves in the top three spots at the end of the day. As a team, Taft placed fourth with 201 total points, beating out strong programs like Rainier, Yamhill-Carlton, Amity and Clatskanie. Placing first was Dayton, who compiled 282.5 points. “With 25 percent less spots at state this year because the OSAA shrunk the 3A bracket, we qualified five for state in the toughest of the 3A districts,â€? Ellis said. Top finisher for Taft was Riley Ellis, who placed second in the 152-pound bracket. In the championship bout, Riley narrowly lost an 8-7 decision to Spyre Nelson of Willamina/Falls City. Four Tigers placed third during
of Rainier. After battling a nagging ankle injury throughout the year, Calderon placed third at 145 pounds. Calderon improved to 13-6 overall this year after beating David Estrada of Dayton in the third place match. Last but not least, Jace Phippen placed third in the heavyweight class (285). Also going 4-1 during the tournament, Phippen made quick work of Sam Dixon from Yamhill-Carlton in the third place
match with a pin in 29 seconds. “The rest of the team also wrestled really well with a lot of 4th, 5th and 6th placers that scored our team a lot of points even though they didn’t qualify for state,� coach Ellis noted. “All five wrestlers are qualifying for state for their second time.� The five boys will compete at the Memorial Coliseum in Portland on Feb. 28-29.

Among 3A schools, the Taft 7-12 swim team is at or near the top. They proved it this past week when they went toe-to-toe with some of the top 4A schools at the District Championships. The Tigers boys and girls teams were in Newport on Feb. 14-15 for the 4A/3A/2A/1A District Championships, competing against eight other schools. On day one, Taft turned in several top times, which head coach Lissa Parker called ‘fantastic swims.’ “19 out of 25 from prelims made it to finals or were named first alternates,� Parker said. “In prelims, Isai Fuentes at his
first districts dropped a lot of time. Amie Olson took off over seven seconds in her 100 freestyle and Ayden Woodard met his season goal in the 100 breaststroke.� In the finals, Lesley Lagunes placed second in the girls 200-yard freestyle with a time of 2:26.11 and Sam Cortes also placed second in the boys 200-yard individual medley (IM) and the 100yard backstroke. During the backstroke, Cortes met a season long goal of eclipsing one minute, as he turned in a time of 59.79. “Dylan Barrera, Mugen Evenson and Napy Meyer all had a third place finish,� Parker noted.
