Cable announces candidacy Lincoln County DA

THE NEWS GUARD

Oregon Senate Republicans have announced plans to block a Democrat cap and trade bill after it advanced out of the budget committee Monday, Feb. 24. Senate Bill 1530 puts an increasing cap on carbon emissions and requires the use of emissions allowances by polluters.

Senate Republican Leader Senator Herman Baertschiger issued a statement that said Senate President Peter Courtney (D-Salem) left no other option for Senate Republicans but to “boycott and deny quorum because cap and trade is on the way to the Senate floor.”

“Democrats refused to work with Republicans and denied every amendment that was presented. Pay attention Oregon – this is a true example of partisan politics,” Baertschiger said in the statement.

“Instead of referring this legislation to let the people decide, the Democrats are

Local couple plans to breathe new life into The Pines property MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

What was once home to an integral part of the Taft District’s history, will soon be revived by a local couple looking to better their community.

In 1927, Fred Watson constructed what he called ‘The Pines Hotel’ at 5056 SE Hwy 101, according to the North Lincoln County Historical Museum. It was the first self-proclaimed upscale resort hotel for Taft, hosting a ballroom, a restaurant and providing a popular place for locals to play cards and gamble. In 1976 however, the hotel burned down. It was rebuilt, but by the late ‘90s had fallen into a state of disrepair, and by the early 2000s, the bar became known as The Pines Restaurant and Bar. Boasting a rich history filled with stories from visitors and locals alike, The Pines Restaurant and Bar also fell victim to fire in 2008, leaving only a sign and empty lot.

The lot sat vacant, until recently when local couple Ross and Rachelle Rehberg bought it to develop an upscale Food Truck Pod. The Rehbergs are experienced property management and developers with a business called Oregonized LLC. They previously completed a project across the street from The Pines property called ‘The Magellan’ at 5053 SW Hwy 101/1273 SW

51st Street.

Their idea of bringing a food truck pod to Lincoln City was made a little easier when the City of Lincoln City recently passed an ordinance allowing mobile food units to operate in designated areas of town.

Looking to take the lead on the food truck movement, the Rehbergs have drafted a plan that could house up to 10 food trucks on their lot.

“There are a lot of really good cooks in this town that don’t have $500,000 to buy their own brick and mortar restaurant and you could get a food truck for $20,000 and run your own business,” Ross

said. “If we do it right, I’d like to think that we can start at least 10 new businesses.

We’re looking to create local jobs for people, and we plan to use all local contractors for our construction.”

In the beginning stages of planning, the Rehbergs have created quite a buzz within the community and have already garnered interest.

“So far a lot of the interest we are getting is from local restaurants that are looking to expand,” Rachelle said. “We also have several people that are looking to start up a new businesses and have experience with food trucks.”

Their proposal includes a gated

another option, with lots of great food choices and room for people to hangout,” Ross said. “We also look at this town and see that there just aren’t a lot of places to go and socialize. I want this to be a place people can go, have fun and get whatever food they might be craving.”

The Rehbergs said they plan to have a different type of food vendor in each slot. Rachelle said they have toured around to several food pods and decided what they wanted and have talked to vendors to find out what they wanted.

They would like to have awnings attached to the building for when it’s raining and several tables for guests. They’ve also have an idea to include a turf yard for games and possibly a projector of summertime events. The property will also include a stage to be used for live music and other events.

The Rehbergs hope to create more of a social hub in the Taft District that is inclusive to everyone.

OCCC bids farewell to longtime Dean of Students OREGON COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE

“Whereas,” read OCCC Board of Education Chair Nancy Osterlund at the board’s meeting on Feb. 19, “Cindy Carlson faithfully and with honor, integrity and great distinction served as Dean of Students at Oregon Coast Community College for over 12 years; be it resolved that the Oregon Coast Community College Board of Education formally acknowledges and extends its profound appreciation to Cindy Carlson for her many years of service to Oregon Coast Community College and to the cause of student success.”

The College, which has served Lincoln City for 33 years, has had a busy 2020 already. During the first week of February, OCCC was recognized with independent accreditation by the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. On Feb. 28, the OCCC family will bid farewell to Carlson, one of the longest-serving administrators at the institution, as she embarks on a well-deserved retirement.

Chris Ousley has been selected as OCCC’s Interim Dean of Students. Chris has been a chief student affairs leader in Oregon for nearly 10 years, most recently for seven years at Clatsop Community College.

“His experience includes prior oversight of outreach, admissions and enrollment, financial aid, advising, disability services, career and transfer services, tutoring, Title IX and conduct,” said Dr. Birgitte Ryslinge, OCCC President, in an email to employees.

Ryslinge added that the College will begin a search for a permanent Dean of Students in the Spring.

“I’m looking forward to connecting more Lincoln County residents to great educational resources available from the college,” Ousley said. “I’ve had the good fortune to work with Cindy and her staff on a lot of projects since 2010. I know all the hard work that has brought the college this far, and I’m excited to continue the great work Cindy and everyone at the college been doing for the students of Lincoln County.”

Fond Farewells While the formal Board proclamation was read aloud at its February meeting, countless less-formal proclamations of praise and appreciation for Cindy have come from students, faculty, and staff as her final day with the College approaches.

“If you are lucky in your professional life, you will encounter the occasional ‘old soul’, who shares incisive wisdom with gentle words,” Ryslinge said. “Cindy Carlson has done that for me since I came to OCCC, and I will miss her a great deal. She brought compassion and accountability to her work as Dean of Students, and the College is a much better place because of Cindy.”

“I once heard Raphael, DaVinci, and Michelangelo referred to as the ‘Heart, Mind, and Soul’ of The Renaissance,” said OCCC Chief Academic Officer Dan Lara. “In her time at the College, Cindy has certainly been its Heart.”

For her part, Cindy says she’ll miss Oregon Coast.

“It’s been a privilege and a pleasure to work at Oregon Coast Community College for the last 12 years with some of the finest colleagues I have ever known,” she said. “I started my educational journey many years ago at a very small community college in Council Bluffs, Iowa. I was the first in my family to attend college so although my parents encouraged me, they really didn’t

know how to help.

“Thank goodness for the amazing folks at that little college where I started – much like the amazing faculty and staff at OCCC. I remember at some point in my youth that my mom started working outside the home - I hated it that she had to work on Saturdays.”

“It wasn’t until I was well into adulthood that my mom told me she was putting money aside so I could go to college,” Cindy Continued. “How could I ever thank her enough for that? It is with gratitude that I have come full circle – starting at a community college myself, and ending my career encouraging and supporting students at OCCC – many, just like me, who are the first in their families to attend. And, I have been so fortunate to work under the leadership of past president, Dr. Patrick O’Connor, who brought buildings to OCCC and to current president, Dr. Birgitte Ryslinge, who brought OCCC to accreditation. It’s been an honor.”

Melissa Lewis, OCCC’s student services office coordinator, said she’s thankful for

what she’s learned from Carlson.

“The things that I have learned from her are not things that a textbook can teach you, it is learned from years of experience working with people,” Lewis said. “She genuinely cares about each and every student at this college and all the people working with in it.

As time has grown closer to her time of leaving us, she still works each day to be sure that all things run smooth and seamless.”

Ben Kaufmann, OCCC’s Navigate Program Manager, has worked under Carlson’s leadership for seven years.

“She is an amazing leader, mentor, and friend. She is an advocate for Lincoln County students, student services within Oregon Coast Community College, and OCCC within Oregon’s 17 community colleges. Through her exemplary supervisory skills, she has led the Student Services team through large process changes, project implementations, and hiccups that could have been crises if not for her leadership.

“Even though she is leaving the college,” Kaufmann continued, “the student support systems that she has put in place, the strong Student Services team, and the culture of student advocacy that she has instilled in all of us will continue as part of the college culture.”

Dave Price has served on the OCCC Executive Team with Carlson since 2013.

“There’s a photo on the wall at OCCC’s North County Center in Lincoln City,” Price said. “It’s a photo of Cindy offering a congratulatory hug to a graduate at commencement. To me, the image encapsulates the OCCC environment in one simple image; it illustrates the supports we provide students, and it reflects the way the staff and faculty are personally committed to the success of each student.

“Long after Cindy has flown off to the South Pacific to relax and enjoy her golden years, we’ll keep that photo hanging on the wall, reminding us why we’re here, and how crucial it is to always support and truly connect with the students we serve.”

Street Crimes Response Team arrests pair of LC residents on drug crimes MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

On Feb. 6, the Street Crimes Response Team (SCRT) along with Lincoln City Police, Toledo Police and McMinnville Police executed a search warrant at 2333 NE 29th Street in Lincoln City.

One of the residents, Daryl David Donat, 60, of Lincoln City, was arrested after many months of compiling evidence regarding his involvement in buying and selling illegal narcotics. Also arrested at the residence during the warrant service was Melody Jean Goodmanson, 59, also of Lincoln City.

During the warrant execution the SCRT seized quantities of suspected methamphetamine, as well as other items including narcotics paraphernalia such as digital scales and plastic baggies. There were also two children living in Donat’s residence.

Donat was lodged at the Lincoln County

Jail for, Delivery, Possession and the Manufacturing of Methamphetamine and two counts of First Degree Child Neglect. His bail was set at $500,000.

Goodmanson was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail for Possession of Methamphetamine. Her bail was set at $15,000.

The Street Crimes Response Unit (SCRT) is a county-wide team designed to augment the Patrol Division. This team specializes in the handling of community impact crimes, such as narcotics investigations, burglaries, and repeat offenders and does so by investigating these crimes thoroughly.

The SCRT is made up of members of the Newport Police and the Lincoln City Police Departments and routinely obtains assistance from the Toledo Police Department and Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office.

LCPD celebrates the 13-year career of Officer Blakely MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

The Lincoln City Police Department recently said a heartfelt goodbye to longtime Officer Holly Blakely.

Blakely’s retirement from law enforcement was medically driven and due to a shoulder injury she sustained two years ago. Serving the LCPD agency for over 13 years, Blakely’s career was filled with many highlights. She served as a Field Training Officer (FTO), she received the MIP Officer of the Year award in 2011 and she became a certified First Responder in 2009, who saved many people with rescue efforts ranging from the successful performance of CPR to assisting with retrieving subjects caught in sneaker waves.

Most recently, Blakely helped spearheaded the fundraising campaign for our K9 Program, which recently reached its goal due to her exemplary efforts of reaching out to the community, says the LCPD. A celebration of her career was held at The Beach Club on Tuesday, Feb. 11 and many members

from the LCPD, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and Oregon State Police in attendance shared their favorite ‘Holly memories.’

Blakely said she will miss the unpredictability each day brought, and because being an officer allowed her to see people at their best and worst, having the opportunity and ability to possibly take a negative situation and make it a positive experience was the most gratifying aspect of the job.

While she may no longer be a ‘sworn’ public servant, Blakely plans to continue on the path of public service in a different capacity with goals of attending graduate school to build on her Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematical Sciences by achieving her Master’s Degree and becoming a teacher.

“No matter what she decides to do in the next chapter of her life, her innate desire to help people will undoubtedly lead her to succeed in her new endeavors,” LCPD officials said. “She will truly be missed by our community and our agency. Good luck Holly and thank you for your years of dedication and service!”

While healthy eating can be a challenge for kids and parents, elementary school students in Lincoln County School District (LCSD) will use their culinary skills to re-imagine their favorite lunch meal by creating original recipes in the 2020 “Sodexo Future Chefs Challenge.”

The national initiative, now in its tenth year, was created to get students thinking about making healthy food choices while also encouraging them to be active and creative in the kitchen. On Saturday, March 7 at Yaquina View Elementary School, LCSD students are joining over 2,500 other students representing more than 1,400 Sodexo-served school sites in 30 states nationally.

54 elementary school students submitted healthy recipes inspired by their favorite lunch meals and the 16 finalists were selected to participate in the districtwide finals event. Finalists will prepare and present their creations before being assessed on criteria including originality, taste, kid friendliness and use of healthy ingredients.

LCSD joins 253 other school districts across the country holding Future Chefs events throughout February and March. The winning student from each participating district will be considered for 40 regional finalist awards, and the selected regional finalists will vie to become one of five national finalists competing for the public’s vote on SodexoUSA.com.

willfully ignoring 26 counties and one district, representing nearly 2 million Oregonians that have signed proclamations against cap and trade, to push their agenda,” Baertschiger said.

The Oregonian reported that the amendments Senate Republicans offered up Monday and were voted down by Democrats included sending the bill to the voters. State Sen. Betsy Johnson (D-Scappoose) was the only Democrat who supported a citizen vote on the bill.

House Speaker Tina Kotek (D-Portland) called out Senate Republicans for walking off the job a third time in a year. She said legislators shutting down the government is a crisis for Oregon’s democracy.

“This is not a game. Voters elected us to do our job,” Kotek said. “The members who refuse to show up and do their jobs are saying to a large majority of Oregonians: your vote doesn’t matter.”

Senate Republicans recently proclaimed that counties repre-

senting nearly 2 million Oregon residents have adopted resolutions opposing cap and trade or SB 1530. Baertschiger said resolutions against a “gas tax disguised as an environmental bill” speak to a majority of counties standing against cap and trade.

This past week, Oregon House Republicans did not attend a scheduled evening floor session, slowing up the 35-day short legislative session. House Republican Leader Christine Drazan of Canby said Tuesday, Feb. 18, that Oregon State Republicans would not attend the floor session that evening.

If 21 of the 22 Republicans don’t show up for a session, that denies Democrats the two-thirds quorum needed to carry out lawmaking and meet deadlines.

There has been speculation about a Republican walkout in the 2020 session. They have vowed to stop a bill that would cap greenhouse gas emissions, saying it would damage the state’s economy.

Johnson and State Rep. Brad Witt (D-Clatskanie) issued a statement as the news of a walkout

RV park where trucks can pull up, they’ll have all their utilities right there,” Rachelle said. “We decided not to have any on customer parking on the property. But there are several lots in the area with public parking, including the large lot at 9 SE Inlet Ave. “Thinking about how we want to be family friendly and have kids able to play there, you know, I wouldn’t be comfortable knowing cars are coming in and out of the

property. It’ll be safer this way.”

Ross said they are also not interested in having temporary vendors. They hope to have vendors be fairly permanent.

The Rehbergs said they have received mostly positive feedback up to this point. However, with the addition of the food truck pod, along with the Pelican Pub on the Siletz Bay, natural competition should arise.

I think having new business like the Pelican will be beneficial for everyone,”

facturing is to stop the politicking and get serious about a carbon reduction policy that doesn’t annex our state into California, where there are no pulp mills thanks to the cap and trade program.”

House Majority Leader Barbara Smith Warner, a Portland Democrat, issued a statement calling Republicans back to work.

“Unfortunately, the politics of obstruction seems to be more powerful to my colleagues across the aisle,” Smith Warner said.

“What House Republicans are doing tonight is not about protecting anything, it’s not about process, it’s not about pacing - it’s about politics.”

“Those members who refuse to show up for work tonight and do their job are saying to a large majority of Oregonians: your voice doesn’t matter and your vote doesn’t matter. Oregonians deserve much better,” Smith said.

The walkout marks consecutive legislative sessions in which Senate Republicans have blocked the passage of a law capping greenhouse gas emissions by walking out.

The proponents are desperate to pass a bill that will result in no significant environmental gains but will greatly burden the pocket books of our constituents.

On Monday, Feb. 17, one of the co-sponsors of the bill proposed that opponents of SB 1530 seek a last-minute amendment to benefit pulp and paper mills.

Ross said. “People can go to the Pelican, have a few beers and then come down to our place. Creating options is what we want to do and the competition I think will be good. At food pods we’ve visited, they all work together and help each other out.

I expect it to be the same here.”

The ordinance is not official until March 10. The City is currently developing an application for the new food truck pod and once it is approved the Rehbergs will begin taking the next steps.

“improve” the bill by holding good union pulp and paper workers hostage is unacceptable. If the cosponsor of the bill thinks we can “save” pulp and paper jobs with an amendment, why wasn’t the fix included in the original bill?

Why wouldn’t the co-sponsors use their superior negotiating position to add the amendment themselves? How disingenuous is it to ask opponents of SB 1530 to beg for their constituents’ jobs?

The only way to save pulp and paper mills and Oregon manu-

“We have to get the building approved by the City before we can really get moving,” Rachelle said. “It will take the longest, but so far we’ve had a great relationship with the City and they’ve been very receptive to all our ideas.”

Although the process may be long and somewhat tedious, the Rehbergs said they are committed to doing it the right way.

“We’re not looking to make a huge profit off of this or any of our other developed properties,” Rachelle

said. “We’ve lived here for years, our family is here and we want to make improvements to our community.

“People with questions or concerns are always welcome to reach out to us. We don’t want anyone questioning what our intentions are because our goal is to fix up this property that holds historic value in the community.”

With history in mind, the Rehbergs have a pretty good idea of what their pod’s name will be. However, nothing is official yet.

“We want to keep the name of the property and keep with the history of the property,” Rehberg said.

“There’s a lot of potential in the Taft District. I really believe that the south end of town is on the rise. With us, the Pelican coming in and even the improvements made in Gleneden Beach, I think people have been ready for this change.”

Cable was most recently a Newport-based defense attorney in private practice for four years.

“I have spent the last four years in private practice largely defending the rights of people who could not afford to hire an attorney,” Cable said. “I am proud of that work. The experience has been invaluable. But it is only a small part of the story, as I have practiced criminal law for 18 years.”

Cable spent nine years as a deputy district attorney in Lincoln County, working to protect the vulnerable: • As a member of the Lincoln County Major Crime Team on the most serious crimes in the county for seven years; • As chair of the Elder Abuse Task Force, working with partners from several local agencies to ensure the physical and financial safety of those 65 and older; • As the lead attorney on Lincoln County’s juvenile dependency cases, with the

goal of keeping children safe and reuniting families; • Litigating cases involving physical abuse of children; and • Prosecuting the majority of felony domestic violence cases for several years.

Cable also served as president of Lincoln County Employee Association representing county employees in contract and disciplinary matters, giving him experience in county budget and personnel; Oregon State Bar Criminal Jury Instruction Committee; and as Siletz Tribal Court of Appeals Judge Pro Tempore. Cable received the 2011 Law Enforcement Recognition Award for his service as a deputy district attorney.

If we are able to help those who need it, we can stop the revolving door that costs the community a great deal of money and frustration,” Cable said. “Also, I would like to add stability to the DA’s office, another revolving door. The office consists of approximately 30 employees and an almost $3 million budget. This is not simply a position that involves trying cases.

“Justice is too important to learn on the job. It’s an honor to serve the people of Lincoln County again.”

DA From page A1 from the position Sept. 11, 2019.

Four candidates vied for the appointment, which included several interviews and a background investigation by the Oregon State Police.

“I was honored to be appointed by Governor Kate Brown as the District Attorney of Lincoln County,” Cable said. “This is a nonpartisan position. I am a registered independent. My most recent opponent did not apply at that time. She holds an Oregon law license issued in June 2016 and a Nevada law license issued in May 2018. The final decision is up to you when the election is held in May.” Cable served Lincoln County as a Deputy District Attorney from December 2006 to November 2015; Seneca County, Ohio as Assistant Prosecutor for Felony Crimes for three years; and Tiffin, Ohio as Assistant City

Governor Brown touted the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between timber corporations and environmental groups as “historic” and “extraordinary.”

It is neither.

The MOU simply dresses up the status quo in new clothes, offered as a giant pacifier to a public tired of lies and industry-generated controversy about poisons.

The MOU is in fact an empty and misleading promise that allows business as usual for years to come - vast clearcutting, aerial poison spraying, road-making, and pollution of entire watersheds - while opposing signatories “negotiate” unenforceable buffer zones and inadequate protections for endangered species. In return for agreeing to such hollow negotiations all signatories agree to withdraw and refrain from legislative petitions to protect their opposing interests.

Significantly, NONE of the signatories to this MOU represent those of us on the ground who are and have been directly affected by timber industry practices. The so-called environmental group signatories have in fact agreed to deny us -

Marcie Hollingsworth passed away at home with family by her side on Tuesday, February 18, 2020 in Lincoln City, Oregon after a brief battle with cancer.

She was the daughter of Walter and Joan and lived throughout Nevada, California and Oregon over the course of her life. She is survived by her brother, Robert;

Oregon communities and citizens directly affected by clear cuts and poison spraying - ANY right to say no to being poisoned, to having our livelihoods threatened, our properties destroyed by clearcut-caused landslides, our ecosystems ravaged, etc. The timber industry, with state sanctioned approval, has denied us that right for many decades, but for allegedly environmental groups to sign our rights away without our consent is an unconscionable betrayal.

In the 1970s, my neighbors and I won what was truly an “historic” court victory against the U.S. Forest Service aerial spraying of Agent Orange poisons on our watersheds and homes, leading in further lawsuits to a halt of aerial poison spraying on all national forests and a total ban of two forest-use poisons. Despite our pleas, not a single so-called environmental group supported or approved our efforts back then - we were on our own, as were others in the Northwest who eventually banded together as the Northwest Coalition for Alternatives to Pesticides [NCAP].

Since those historic events some 50 years ago, I have researched, written about, and litigated pesticide and timber issues nationwide,

compiled in the huge Poison Papers and Columbia University Toxic Docs data bases (see e.g., https:// theintercept.com/2017/07/26/ chemical-industry-herbicidepoison-papers/). Much of that research has detailed the fraud and lies underlying all EPA approvals of the poisons used in forestry, which prompted the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals to rule that the U.S. Forest Service could not rely on EPA approval of such pesticides because no valid studies on their safety existed (to say nothing of the untested synergistic effects of poison mixtures commonly used in forestry).

There is therefore absolutely no excuse for state and timber industry use of such poisons, or for environmental groups to agree to continued exposure of us, our children, our land, our livestock, our wildlife, our water and ecosystems to what are legally defined as “economic poisons.” Such commercialization of forests, watersheds, life and nature itself is responsible for the global catastrophe of climate change that the MOU signatories perpetuate with smoke-and-mirrors illusions of reform.

One illusion is the MOU’s unenforceable buffer zones around schools and homes. These are a tox-

ic joke, as aerially applied poisons drift, blow, and drain for miles. Were the MOU signatories truly interested in preventing further harmful exposures, they would have followed the U.S. Forest Service’s example and stopped the vast strip-mined clearcuts that require aerial poison spraying to establish unhealthy commercial monocultures.

Contrary to the timber industry’s dire predictions back in the ‘70s, the forests did not die, nor were 22,000 jobs lost without using Agent Orange on the national forest. The national forests today are thriving with healthy diversity. The only valid compromise between timber and “environmental” parties would be an immediate, unequivocal, environmentally and economically sound agreement to halt clearcutting and its requisite poison applications. For any alleged environmental group to agree to less is a profound betrayal of public and environmental health as well as basic human and natural rights.

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY Don’t wait to get involved with youth soccer After reading the article in Feb. 12th’s edition regarding Ryan Ulicni’s Sand Tigers proposal, I felt compelled to write to clear up some misinformation implied in Coach Ulicni’s statements regarding youth soccer in Lincoln City.

I’m a longtime soccer coach for Lincoln City Parks and Rec and currently also volunteering as a coach and North County coordinator for the Central Coach Soccer Association (CCSA).

There are currently two outdoor soccer seasons available to Lincoln City kids age 5-13 in the spring and the fall to play at a recreational level. These are provided for 5-9 year olds

through Lincoln City Parks and Rec with the support of a fabulous cadre of volunteer coaches. For the 10-14 year olds these seasons are provided through a partnership between LCPR and CCSA. These are formal seasons with practices, assigned teams and games.

It is true that LCPR chose not to host indoor soccer by themselves this winter.

Working together, CCSA and LCPR were able to create a program for boys and girls ages 8-14 to continue to play each weekend in January and February. We are not providing formal skill development sessions with the kids, nor have they been assigned to permanent teams with coaches. However, it is incorrect to imply that the players are not learning or that what we are providing

is the equivalent of ‘recess.’

Over two years ago, US Soccer and OYSA completely changed their coaching philosophy and began to teach a methodology called Play-Practice-Play. This is a player centered approach that is designed to allow players to experience the game and game-like situations as much as possible. It differs from the traditional practices where kids do drills and stand in lines. The idea is to create an environment that is engaging and fun, where players lead the action and the coaches are facilitating learning and guide players to develop their own solutions rather than being directed what to do. I can guarantee the kids are having fun and developing their individual and team skills.

I agree wholeheartedly with Ryan that Lincoln City desperately needs more facilities for youth sports, soccer in particular. Without any dedicated soccer fields in the city, teams are without proper equipment like goals or the correct size field and therefore can’t train appropriately.

Kids, parents and volunteer coaches often get frustrated and quit after a few years despite loving the sport. A facility like Coach Ulicni is proposing would not only be a godsend to the youth soccer players of Lincoln City, but to the entire community. There are likely several hundred adult soccer players in town who aren’t able to play due to a lack of opportunity. It could be a gathering place for friends, families and the

larger region. I hope he succeeds and I will do all I can to support it.

I encourage everyone in Lincoln City to get behind this idea. However, I also ask you not wait until the spring of 2021 to help build up youth soccer in Lincoln City. Registration is currently open for the spring season for 10-14 year olds at centralcoastsoccer.org.

Registration for 5-9 year olds should open soon at the LCPR website, www. lincolncity.org. We would love to see more volunteers and players come out this spring, so please sign up soon and I’ll see you at the field!

turned 70 at the time of his death. Tony’s family, his father, Tony, his mother, Angie, two sisters, Carol and Fran, and one nephew, Jason, preceded him in death.

Tony, always the adventurer, set off for the West Coast via ‘the long camping trip’ in 1971, arriving in Portland, Ore. It was there he enrolled in trade school where he became a skilled

cabinetmaker.

He met his future life partner, Mary, in 1974 and they ventured further west to Otis, Ore. Tony continued to hone his craft, working for local cabinet shops in Lincoln City until he opened his own business, ‘Tony Bono Cabinets’ in the mid80s.

His passions in life were his family and creating

beautiful things from wood.

He is survived by his wife of 43 years, Mary, and his loving children, Adam, Angela and Gina, daughter in law, Norma and grandchildren, Allysa and Skye, two nephews and one niece.

The Bono family will be having a memorial service at Wapiti Park at 2 p.m. on March 7, 2020.

Kay Volmering

the most caring of souls.

Kay is survived by her husband Leo Volmering, her children Pam, Teri, Cathy and Vince; and grandchildren and great-grandchildren; along with many friends whose hearts she touched along the way.

By Kay’s wishes, no service will be held. Family members will have their own private ceremony.

Tip of the Week: Scammers posing as IRS LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

As we get into tax season, the IRS is reminding taxpayers to be on the lookout for scam e-mails aimed at tricking you into disclosing personal and financial information that could be used to steal your identity and financial assets.

IRS does not send out unsolicited e-mails asking for personal information.

The IRS has seen a recent increase in these scams, many of which originate outside the United States. To date, investigations have identified sites hosting hundreds of IRS-related phishing scams.

These scam websites have been found to originate in at least 20 different countries.

Scammers claiming to be from the IRS, tell you that you are due a federal tax refund, and direct you

to a website that appears to be a genuine IRS site. The bogus sites contain forms or interactive web pages similar to IRS forms and web pages.

Don’t be fooled! These sites and forms have been modified to request detailed personal and financial information from the email recipients. E-mail addresses involving users in professional and educational communities seem to be heavily targeted.

The information obtained is then used to steal the taxpayer identity and financial assets. Typically, identity thieves use someone’s personal data to empty the victim’s financial accounts, run up charges on the victim’s existing credit cards, apply for new loans, credit cards, services or benefits in the victim’s name and even file fraudulent tax returns.

The IRS does not send out un-

STOCK IMAGE

solicited e-mails or ask for detailed personal information. Additionally, the IRS never asks people for their PIN numbers, passwords

or similar secret access information for their credit card, bank or other financial accounts. The IRS primarily uses the mail when they

need to notify you regarding any tax-related matter. They do not phone you late at night, or text you.

For more information on phishing (suspicious e-mails) and identity theft, visit the IRS Web site at www.irs.gov. For information on preventing or handling the aftermath of identity theft, visit the Federal Trade Commission Web sites at www.consumer.gov/ idtheft and www.OnGuardOnline. gov (and click on Topics).

Please report the fraudulent misuse of the IRS name, logo, forms or other IRS property by calling the Treasury inspector General for Tax Administration toll-free hotline at 1-800-3664484. For more information and tips, visit our web site at www. lincolncountysheriff.net and Like us on Facebook at Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office – Oregon.

The Tigers sent several swimmers to the 2020 State Swim meet in Beaverton on Feb. 21-22, including three relay teams and two swimmers competing individually. “Altogether with the relays, swimmers and some alternates, we took 13 out of our 25-member swim team to state,� head coach Lissa Parker said.

Competing against 20 other 4A/3A/2A/1A schools, the Tiger swimmers showed up ready to compete by clocking personal best times on the opening day of the meet. However, only the top six swimmers qualified for the finals on day two.

The Taft girls were represented

by Ella Knott, Napy Meyer, Lesley Lagunes and Sammy Halferty in the girls 400-yard freestyle relay.

The group finished with a time of 4:14.11, which landed them in 12th place. “The girls relay team was lucky to get in as an another relay dropped out, so they did not expect to advance very far but they still dropped quite a bit of time and tried their best, so it was nice that they were able to participate,�

Parker said. “Their relay pre-districts overall dropped 15 seconds in the course of two weeks.�

The boys relay team of Sam Cortes, Jose Segura, Dylan Barrera and Mugen Evenson represented Taft in the 200-yard medley relay.

Sam Cortes placed third in the boys 200-yard individual medley while also competing in three other events. preliminary trials, just missing out on a spot in the finals. “The boys 200 IM relay narrowly missed qualifying for finals by less than a second, and if they had been given a chance to swim in finals their final time would have garnered them a 5th place finish,�

Parker noted.

Although they missed out on a finals berth in the 200 IM relay, the same group of boys competed in the 400-yard freestyle relay, and they competed well. Facing

off with the likes of powerhouse teams like Newport, Marshfield, St. Mary’s and others, the Taft boys swam a swift time of 3:35.03 in the prelims, just edging out Marshfield for second. “The most exciting race of the whole meet was the qualifying 400 free relay for the Taft boys,� Parker said. “They were able to garner a second place going into finals and it was just a very exciting moment for everyone on the team.�

In the finals, Marshfield and St.

The boys 400-yard freestyle team placed fourth in the finals after a second place finish in the preliminary race.

Mary’s were a few seconds quicker, and surpassed Taft, who placed fourth at 3:36.25.

In the individual events, Evenson and Cortes both competed in the boys 200-yard IM. In the prelims, Evenson made a big leap forward to place 10th at 2:17.79. “Mugen, as a freshman, was able to go from 12th place in the 200 IM up to 10th,� Parker said.

For Cortes, he swam a 2:07.93 in the prelims and a 2:07.69 in the finals to solidify his spot in the

third place among a competitive field of swimmers. Cortes also swam well in the boys 100-yard backstroke, placing 7th in the prelims and just missing out on a finals position. “We are also very pleased to see Sam do as well as he did in his second year going to state and getting a third place in his 200 IM,� Parker said. “Overall we ranked 10th out of 20 teams for the boys.�
