Baldwin files for Lincoln County Circuit Court MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Attorney at law Russell L. Baldwin recently announced his candidacy for Lincoln County Circuit Court – Position 1.

Baldwin ran for judge in the 2018 primary last. He said he remains gravely concerned that Lincoln County residents are unable to have their matters heard in a timely manner.

“I am also concerned, based upon my own experience, that our court’s decisions often do not explain how a decision has been made. Rather, it has been my experience – statewide - that parties requesting findings and conclusions often do not receive a

Local filmmakers to debut documentary about Lincoln City Eventuary

James and Diana Warren of Newport explored the Eventuary for four years as they compiled a film about paranormal happenings in the building.

A

home, a hospital, a mortuary, an event center.

Over the years, the building at 560 SW Fleet Ave. in Lincoln City has held several names. Lincoln City natives may be familiar with its unique history that for many, has transcended outside the norm.

Certain places seem to call to us, and for

local filmmakers James and Diana Warren, the Eventuary has done just that.

The Warrens, residents of Newport, are set to debut their first film ‘Calls To Us’ at the Oregon Ghost Conference in Seaside on March 27. The documentary style film retells some of the history behind the Eventuary, while also exploring the paranormal world and finding closure through grief.

Growing up, James Warren admits that he didn’t have much of an interest in the

paranormal, in fact, it was something he was somewhat fearful of. That all changed when his father passed away and he started to experience something unexplainable.

“We have this jewelry box that is in a drawer in our room with just some things that belonged to my father: a pocketwatch, some tie clips he gave to me, you know, things like that,” James explained. “For a few

Shearwater Inn completes major renovation MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

For months, the Shearwater Inn near ‘D’ River fielded all sorts of questions from locals and visitors due to the large tarps that draped over the outskirts of the building.

The reason? A full exterior remodel that has given the Inn a sleek, modern new look.

Owned by Westover Inns, a family owned company with six hotels in Oregon, the Shearwater Inn is one of three Westover Inns in Lincoln City (Looking Glass Inn and Pelican Shores Inn. At just over 20 years old, the building was practically unchanged inside and out.

“We wanted to stay with the times so to speak, because noth-

ing’s really been remodeled or changed since the original owners built the place,” General Manager Natalio Reyes said. “We just felt that it was time for us to kind of make that happen.”

Inside the Inn, they’ve brought in all new furniture and new carpets in rooms and hallways.

Outside, the building received a full renovation with new windows, sliders and siding that was designed the withstand that harsh weather experienced on the coast.

“All the exterior was redone just to weatherize it,” Reyes said.

“On the Oregon Coast, a lot of this stuff just needs to be replaced over time.”

The new siding features a system that diverts water down to the ground level and is something that Reyes said he’s never seen done on

a hotel building.

“It’ll probably be a trial and error,” Reyes said. “With the rain we’ve had so far, it has worked great. I think it’s a type of siding that people on the coast should consider because we get a good amount of rain here throughout the winter.”

From October 20 to February 14, the Shearwater Inn remained closed as the renovations were completed. Although a total cost for the project remains undisclosed, Reyes said Westover Inns went ahead with the project to preserve the longevity of the building and most importantly, provide a great experience for their guests.

“The feedback has been great,” Reyes said. “We have a lot of

From October 20 to February 14, the Shearwater Inn remained closed as the renovations were completed.

Local business owner sets goals on opening community food truck pod MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

It’s an age-old question that families have been debating for years: ‘Where should we eat?’

For local business owner Dan Clanton, his goal is to make that question easier to answer by building a food truck pod in Lincoln City.

Clanton, owner of The Grill 1646 in Lincoln City, has 20 years of experience in the finance and collections industry and another 20 years in customer service.

And after helping push the City of Lincoln City to pass a new ordinance allowing Mobile Food Units in town, he began working on his new concept of building a food truck pod.

“To add to our community and promote our love of food and entrepreneurship we want to expand into food cart life,” Clanton said. “Here, we believe we can give new business owners a chance to start their dreams while providing a great environment to our community.”

With a desire to help others in need, Clanton and his family have made an annual trip to homeless shelters across the state to serve up free food over the holidays and has kept

That is why Clanton has de-

cided to dedicate one spot in the cart pod to local nonprofits, with a cart already provided.

“It can be used by the Taft Boosters, senior parents, culinary program or whatever non-profit needs it and it’ll be pretty turnkey for them,” Clanton said.

“They can come run it at anytime they need to raise money.”

Clanton is currently looking at a couple of spaces within Lincoln City that will house 5-8 food trucks.

The plan is take some land within Lincoln City, make an observation deck (preferably with ocean views), have an area to play small

outdoor games, spaces for artisans to show off their art and comfortable seating for people to stay and relax.

The goal is to be funded and under construction

by May 2020. To generate funds, Clanton has started a Kickstarter page with a goal of reaching $750,000, which will include the purchase of land, building of observation deck, eight concrete pads, electric, sewer including grease trap, water, small park area, brick pathways, small tap house, community garden and incidentals.

With each donation, donors will receive a gift dependent on the amount given. Gifts range from a

personal thank you note to draw string bags, logo mason jars, to plaques and bricks with your name or message on it.

“They donate, they get a brick, and the brick is going to go in the pathway throughout the complex,” Clanton explained. “The Phoenix Zoo is where I got that idea, they had to raise some money to build a bridge and they put engraved bricks all the way over it. I think it’s a cool idea and it makes it very special for the community.”

Through Kickstarter, Clanton’s page is labeled ‘All or Nothing’ with an end date on April 26. If the goal

is not reached, everything that was donated will go back to the donors.

“Like any restaurant and new adventure there is risk, we feel that our risk is low,” Clanton said. “We currently have a proven business model with our current restaurant that has been open and improving year-to-year.

With our support of the homeless, local schools and other charity organizations our state following supports our mission and brand.”

Governor declares state of emergency over COVID-19 THE NEWS GUARD

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has declared a state of emergency in Oregon to address the spread of the novel coronavirus after the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) identified seven new cases of COVID-19 in Oregon, bringing the total to 14.

The Governor authorized the state of emergency by verbal proclamation over the weekend and confirmed the executive order in writing on Sunday.

“This news is concerning for all Oregonians, but my resolve and that of my administration to address this public health crisis is unchanged,” Brown said. “This emergency declaration gives the Oregon Health Authority and the

Office of Emergency Management all the resources at the state’s disposal to stem the spread of this disease. We will do everything it takes, within our power and in coordination with federal and local officials, to keep Oregonians safe.”

Brown’s emergency declaration allows OHA to activate reserves of emergency volunteer health care professionals, bringing online auxiliary medical professionals to work with local health authorities to identify and contain new cases of COVID-19 in Oregon.

The declaration additionally grants broad authority to the State Public Health Director, OHA, and the Office of Emergency Management, which will allow the agencies to take immediate action and devote all available state resources

towards containing the coronavirus in Oregon.

The state of emergency will remain in effect for 60 days, but can be extended until the public health threat of the coronavirus is contained.

Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems Statement The President and CEO of the Oregon Association of Hospitals and Health Systems (OAHHS), Becky Hultberg, released the following statement regarding Governor Brown’s declaration of a State of Emergency due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

“By declaring a state of emergency, the Governor and the Oregon Health Authority Director are taking necessary steps to bring

state government’s broad powers to respond to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Oregon.

We support the Governor’s leadership in taking this step and support any additional actions to prepare and respond to this outbreak, particularly her focus on at-risk populations – older adults, those with underlying health conditions, and the unhoused.

OAHHS and our member hospitals are in regular communication with the administration and local health departments to deliver accurate information and quality care to our patients and the public.

Hospitals are on the front lines responding to the outbreak and are committed to providing critical inpatient and community health

services to respond to this evolving situation. We are working with the state administration to address important issues such as inpatient capacity, additional supplies and equipment to keep our workers and patients safe, regulatory relief to ensure adequate staffing and clarity around changing requirements.

We look forward to addressing these issues as we continue to fulfill our responsibilities around public health, infection prevention and disease management.”

OAHHS represents Oregon’s 62 acute care hospitals and works on behalf of the patients they serve to promote community health and to continue improving Oregon’s innovative health care system.

Veteran and workforce housing development awarded in Lincoln County THE NEWS GUARD

On Feb. 7, the Housing Stability Council approved funding award to Northwest Coastal Housing (NWCH) for Veteran and Workforce housing development in Toledo.

NWCH is a Community Development Corporation (CDC) in Lincoln County, a nonprofit affordable housing developer since 1991. Sheila Stiley, Executive Director for Northwest Coastal Housing, anticipates ground breaking on the 11 unit complex between late Spring and early Summer 2021 with an anticipated 8-9 month process.

The need for housing in Lincoln County is not news to anyone, but the approved award is news indeed. Affordable housing development funding has not been an easy task to obtain for a small CDC. Rural areas have a history of increased difficulty accessing funding compared to more metro areas.

As a matter of fact, the last ground up development for NWCH was in 2006, and nearly a decade between builds for the local Housing Authority. It is averaged to be upwards of 13 years between affordable housing developments due to rural constraints balancing the proforma based on funding sources. Developing on the coast is challenging and more expensive due to material costs such as stainless steel.

The state has been proactive in funding rural areas as one of their six point priorities in Oregon’s Statewide Housing Plan, “Breaking New Ground.” Based on this plan, a new source of funding was created for the 2019 Notice Of Funds Available

for Small and Large Projects with Additional Veteran Subsidy.

The main funding source includes GAP, General Account Program dollars originating almost entirely from income taxes paid by individual Oregonians and Oregon businesses. NWCH was awarded $1,627,500 in GAP funds, outsourced $325,000 from the Oregon Affordable Housing Tax Credit (OAHTC) loan program, and was pledged $25,000 in committed funds from the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners, spearheaded by Commissioner Claire E. Hall.

“Public support for housing of all types is high, but I particularly hear from people who feel it’s a shame that so many veterans lack decent, affordable housing,” Hall said. “I’m proud the county is able to join NW Coastal Housing and other partners to make this project a reality.”

Other funding sources include $1,000 from the John Reed Veteran Foundation.

NWCH will apply for the Central Lincoln PUD rebate program thus providing cost savings of approximately $2,500 and is responsible for $300,000 owner contribution plus $33,007 in deferred developer fees. NWCH will be working with the City of Toledo to offset some of the infrastructure costs, seek funding from foundations, and fundraise to assist with the $300,000 in owner committed funds.

“Affordable housing development takes work and money is not readily accessible,” Stiley said. “We have to work very hard to obtain the levels of funding required in addition to all

This is not standard development. It is development with a twist or two which can be very challenging for others to understand. But we need the housing and we have great partnerships for this project and others moving forward.

“The City of Toledo has been very supportive and appreciative of new development. They advocated strongly for the project with hopes of future development opportunities.”

Blackberry Hill Apartments will have eight veteran preference units consisting of a mix of income levels to qualify ranging from 30 percent Area Median Income (AMI) to 60 percent AMI. NWCH will partner with both the Community Services Consortium (CSC) and the Lincoln County Veterans Services Office (VSO) who will be the referring agencies for the project. The remaining three units will be workforce units for individuals making <80 percent AMI; no referral necessary.

Building freedom together

Additionally, this complex, as most all of NWCH’s builds, will include Resident Services Coordination working both with CSC, Lincoln County VSO and NWCH with overlapping programs to enhance living and reduce barriers that would otherwise lead to homelessness.

“We are excited to see the construction of this beautifully designed and well-planned development become a reality,” said Pegge McGuire, Acting Director of Community Services Consortium. “CSC is looking forward to our partnership with NWCH.” CSC operates the Supportive Services for Veteran

Families and maintains the Veteran Bi-Name List Registry in 2018-2019 which helps minimize the gap and identify and assist men and women who served in the armed forces.

The CSC also partners with the Lincoln County VSO to provide overlapping services to veterans. One of those services includes locating housing for our community veterans however, with the lack of supply of adequate housing stock, many veterans are left displaced or unhoused.

“It is no secret that housing on the Oregon Coast is in low supply,” said Devin Whitaker, Veteran Services Officer of the Lincoln Coun-

ty VSO. “Those individuals and families with steady income can find it difficult to acquire stable housing in our community so it is not difficult to imagine that veterans, particularly those with disabilities and limited income, face an increased number of barriers when attempting to find permanent residences in this area.

“Additionally, those veterans who do qualify for housing assistance moreoften-than-not find better housing opportunities in other communities due to the lack of affordable housing stock in the area.”

Whitaker explained that the awarded Blackberry Hill Apartment Complex offers veterans in Lincoln County an opportunity to access stable and affordable housing without relocating to another area.

“Our office has partnered with Northwest Coastal Housing in support of this effort and created strategies to ensure that future residents of this facility not only get housed but also have better access to Service Officers who can assist them in exploring other potential benefits through the VA,” Whitaker said. “Veterans in Lincoln County need housing. It is exciting to know that this project will serve those who have served us with better access to housing stability”.

College announces Spring Community Education Lineup OREGON COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Every three months or so, Oregon Coast Community College rolls out a fresh lineup of community education classes – noncredit classes designed more for entertainment and personal enrichment more than anything else.

These classes are open to anyone in the county, and taught by local residents excited to share their skills and passions in an eclectic variety of disciplines.

OCCC’s Spring term kicks off March 30. Some of the classes in the Spring lineup are old favorites – Acoustic Guitar with Richard Paris, Zen Meditation with Joe Armenio, and Birding on the Oregon Coast with Laura Doyle and Caren Willoughby.

Scattered throughout the new edition of “Catch the Wave,” the noncredit course schedule being mailed to all county residences this week, are a number of brand-new courses and workshops, along with some newly revamped classes freshened up for Spring 2020. Among these changes is the College’s popular astronomy series, which helps people with dusty old telescopes hidden away in closets learn to reassemble them and put them to use. The series will be offered at OCCC’s South County Center in Waldport for the first time this spring, as instructor Sifan Kahale heads south for everything from the very basics to showing off some amazing telescope automation and astrophotography skills that anyone willing to invest in some new equipment can take advantage of.

A bountiful harvest of options New drivers – and, let’s

popular demand, offering a new “Create Your Own Mandala” course (May 21, Lincoln City). Katia’s course seems a perfect counterbalance to Sener’s series on Terrorism, as she writes her workshop “help you relax, bring a sense of calm into your life and lower your anxiety level. Mandala is a great tool to use for emotional expression, self-healing, and self-exploration.”

Another way to reduce anxiety and stress? Get your financial house in order.

That’s where Wendy Ludwig comes in, with yet another new course for spring – “Mind Over Money” (April 21-May 12, Newport).

Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck?

Good money habits can be the difference between barely making ends meet and building real financial security. Wendy’s series offers an excellent foundation for young adults but is meant to be useful for anyone, at any stage of life.

This class will help participants understand how to take control of their money, step by step, including how to create and use a monthly budget, how to master smart spending (and saving), and how to manage debt and build credit worthiness.

With your financial woes addressed, you’ll be free to lose yourself in ancient tales of powerful women, in the latest new class led

by Sharon Beardsley. “Gallery of Goddesses” (March 30-April 27, Newport) will feature readings and discussions about powerful female figures in mythology.

Beginning with the mysterious prehistoric European Mother Goddess in many of her incarnations, the class will embark on a crosscultural survey of female deities, some obscure, oth-

ers known and treasured, especially by ancient history buffs, as well as fans of trivia and crossword puzzles.

There will be no homework, no exams – just an opportunity to stimulate inquiring minds and enjoy a celebration of real Girl Power.

Classes are open to anyone in the county, and taught by local residents. The Spring term is set to begin on March 30. be honest, 95 percent of the rest of us – should take ‘Basic Car Care for Roadside Emergencies’ (May 15, Lincoln City), a course designed to quickly teach participants how to change a flat when they’re out of cell range, how to install chains, check fluids and tire pressure, identify various parts under the hood, and much more.

There are plenty of places you can find yourself out of cell range in our spectacular surroundings, which includes many roads and trails throughout the UNESCO Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve. What’s that, you ask? Well, depending on where you’re reading this, you might be in it right now. Comprised of Cascade Head, the Salmon River, the Cascade Head Marine Reserve, Otis, and most of Lincoln City, the UNESCO Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve is a special place to live and work. This free workshop (April 7, Lincoln City) offers an introduc-

tory look at Oregon’s only biosphere reserve – and how it can enrich your business and your life.

The Biosphere workshop is led by Paul Robertson, who is pulling double duty this spring, as he brings back his popular mussel harvesting class. Held on the beach in Lincoln City (April 13), the class teaches participants how to safely and responsibly collect mussels from the local tide pools.

Best of all, the class includes not only harvesting, but right-there-on-the-beach preparation of a fresh batch of sautéed mussels, making this by far the tastiest course in the Spring lineup. Participants must have a valid Oregon Shellfish License – easily available at Eleanor’s Undertow, Bi-Mart, Fred Meyer, Englund Marine and many other locations in the county.

If you’d rather flex your muscles than harvest mussels, there’s a large lineup of fitness and aqua-fitness courses featured in the

“Catch the Wave” publication, offered in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation departments in Newport and Lincoln City.

Register and pay for these courses at their respective locations.

From terrorism to mythological treasures Sener Otrugman, who first came to Lincoln County as a high school exchange student from Turkey, has made a life here on the Oregon Coast. The veteran community ed instructor has taught Turkish Culture courses as well as fly fishing (which he’s also offering this term). However, this Spring he’s tackling a weighty topic from his own unique perspective, leading a course called “Terrorism: Past and Present” (April 21-June 9, Lincoln City). He plans to lead discussions in the group to explore terrorism – its roots, causes, purposes, and meaning.

Meanwhile, art instructor Katia Kyte is back by

A watershed moment This spring marks a watershed moment for the OCCC Community Education, in terms of its enhanced partnerships with local and regional partners.

The local Parks and Recreation courses cited above are one example of this, as is a brand-new series presented by the College in cooperation with the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council and the Oregon State University Extension.

The series is dubbed “Watersheds, Water Quality & Salmon” (April 9-25, Lincoln City), and tackles all three topics with a series of lectures from experts as well as a watershed tour field trip. Participants will learn about the interplay between streams, forests, and other landscapes, and how those interactions affect water quality and life below the surface. The course is aimed at newcomers and everyone interested in learning more about our local ecology and the needs and efforts to protect it. No prior scientific experience necessary.

Registration for any of these courses – and the many more not listed here that are also on offer this Spring at Oregon Coast Community College – can be done online, at oregoncoastcc.org/communityed.

Or, call Tonia Anderson or Shirley Hill at OCCC’s North County Center in Lincoln City, 541-996-6222, for registration assistance or additional information.

Gomberg: 2020 Session Conclusion Two weeks ago, I wrote you with an update on the bills and David budgets Gomberg being considered for the 2020 legislative session. Sadly, not one of them will be adopted.

For two weeks, a minority of members in both the House and the Senate left the building to boycott the process. In their absence, we lacked a quorum to transact any business*. Awkwardly, those absent members continued to be paid and even receive a daily per diem to cover costs of being in Salem. With one side presenting ultimatums and the other unwilling to repeatedly compromise, the session ended. For those of us who strive to work toward the center, it was particularly difficult.

At issue was the “Cap and Trade” proposal to address climate change in Oregon. But the walk-out has now been used four times in the past year to protest school funding, vaccination measures, firearm storage, climate, and in one case because members did not want to work through a scheduled evening floor session. Issues aside, we are seeing a complete breakdown in our democratic institutions. One journalist called it a national embarrassment.

Certainly I have heard from some constituents who support the walk-out. My response is that I swore an oath to uphold the Oregon Constitution. That oath and the House Rules require me to attend. Even in these cynical times, a person’s word should mean something. And when the legislature is unable to act, more power and authority shifts to the Governor and executive branch.

If I disagree with a proposal that is moving forward, I either vote no, or to try and improve the bill. My efforts have always been to listen to all sides, seek compromise, and move toward the center. In past newsletters, you have heard me detail carbon amendments I have proposed or supported. They include specific references to the coast for disbursement of climate investments; tax reductions in communities where fuel costs are increased by the need to drive further for work, school, or shopping; exemptions for fuel used in our fishing fleets; offsets to energy costs for heating or agricultural production; and carve-outs for mills using best available technology. Some will disagree with this measure. I hope most will agree I made it better.

I have heard the argument that we should refer Cap and Trade to the voters.

I believe I was elected to make hard decisions.

That includes large, complex, and controversial votes. But I also believe that when people disagree with my decisions, they have the right to circulate petitions and gather signatures to refer a measure for a statewide vote. For that reason, I parted with my party leaders and supported removing the Emergency Clause from the Cap

COURTESY PHOTO

The 2020 legislative session ended after a walkout regarding the ‘cap and trade’ proposal. and Trade proposal in order to allow more time for signature gathering. Unfortunately, that never happened.

The carbon bill being considered was not an extreme proposal as some advocacy groups suggest. One recent editorial says “. . . the Senate bill before lawmakers this year reflects thoughtful consideration of the needs of rural Oregonians… (It) exempts much of rural Oregon from regulations that would increase gas prices. It also devotes a good portion of the revenue raised to clean-energy investments – many of which will directly help rural communities… And the bill includes elements sought by Republican legislators and the Timber Unity group.” Click here to read the entire article.

In the future, citizens need to change our Constitution’s quorum requirement for floor votes. There are also suggestions to disallow legislators with unexcused absences from running in the next election, dock their pay, or fine them.

Regular people don’t get paid when they don’t go to work, and politicians shouldn’t get paid for skipping work either.

In the end, Cap and Trade was more important to both sides than anything else. A number of bi-partisan proposals that were worked on for months have languished. We failed to move bills and budget requests to fund: - $60 million in emergency shelter facilities for the homeless - $70 million for affordable housing - Corrections to the corporate activity tax - Child abuse prevention and treatment - Support for foster care and unaccompanied homeless youth - Family treatment courts to provide addiction treatment and services for families at risk of losing their children - Streamlined adoption processes for the 700 kids waiting to be adopted

- Dental care and education for school age children - Statewide emergency preparedness - Flood recovery in Pendleton - A historic forest management agreement by timber and environmental organizations - Support for small schools and higher education - And many more bills that communities across the state are counting on.

The mood in the Capitol is fractured and confrontational. Last Monday, before the walk-out, I left committee to find over 100 people lining the hallway. As we walked this gauntlet, groups on one side would cheer and the other side curse, depending on how each of us had voted. Later in the day, a Republican colleague took me aside to warn me. Someone had been in their office and threatened violence if he found me. The state police had been alerted.

Sadly, the discord that divides our nation’s Capitol has now soiled Salem as well. Trust has evaporated. We can and must treat each other with courtesy and respect even when we disagree. Especially when we disagree.

With so much at stake, we will likely be called back in special session to complete essential business. That will cost more time and more money. On Monday, I return to Salem for the Emergency Board which will fund Coronavirus response and flooding in Umatilla County. As for carbon, I expect it will come back to the legislature yet again or have signatures collected to present a more restrictive measure to the voters.

I believe in Oregon and the Oregon Way. I remain hopeful for our future. But it has been a difficult five weeks in Salem.

Noise Ordinance The basic rule of the county noise ordinance is one of reasonableness.

The ordinance allows Sheriff’s Deputies to investigate complaints of excessive noise throughout the unincorporated areas of the county. The ordinance states that Sheriff’s Deputies will determine the reasonableness of the noise in determining whether or not to issue a citation for a violation of the noise ordinance. Deputies have received training and guidance on this issue.

The ordinance states that no person shall cause

any noise which unreasonably disturbs or annoys another person of normal sensitivity, while the person is inside of a building. Here are some examples of what could be considered unreasonable noise: - Loud stereos - Excessively loud vehicle exhaust, motor, or other mechanical sound. (Louder than required to operate the vehicle or device) - Musical instruments The circumstances surrounding the noise shall be examined, taking into consideration several factors, including but not limited to:

Eventuary months, the drawer would just open. I’d be closing it and closing it, then eventually it happened enough to where I asked Diana, ‘why are you opening up the drawer going through this stuff?’ She’s said, ‘I’ve been meaning to ask you that.’”

James said it initially caused him to be fearful, but then he thought, maybe this is something I need to confront.

“Diana has a Master’s in Public Health and I have my Bachelor’s in Psychology, so we started thinking, how can we put what we know now towards a study of this and maybe help people, and ourselves, along the way.”

The Warrens were welcomed into a world of exploring the paranormal, and through that world, they made a friend named Sarah Lemos, who was a medium from Salem, who now is a regular on Travel Channel shows such as ‘Ghosts of Morgan City’ and ‘Portals to Hell.’

The Warrens began talking to people with other mediums who were experiencing unexplained phenomena. They would travel all over Oregon, talking to families, staying at their houses, trying to experience was they experienced.

The goal? To help them find closure or just help them not be so afraid.

“It was mostly James doing a lot of counseling over the phone and just talking to people,” Diana said. “We don’t really search anything out. People would just contact us. And then James would start to counsel them and talk with them. Then we

go meet with them and see what they’re looking for.”

In most cases, the Warrens wouldn’t go out searching for the paranormal. But the Eventuary was a unique exception.

The Discovery After finishing a long, taxing case in the Corvallis area, the Warrens were looking to take a break. But the break was short lived after receiving a tip on Facebook to check out the Anchor Inn in Lincoln City.

“One Sunday we just decided, let’s just take a drive and see what comes with it,” James said. “If they’re open, we’ll stop by, if not, we’ll move on.”

After making the trip, they arrived at what looked like a ghost town.

“We went in there and we didn’t see a guest, we didn’t see a host… We didn’t see anything,” James said.

“Inside the building was very eclectic, very eccentric. It was an interesting vibe. They were playing old school 20s music… I’ll never forget it.”

After about 20 minutes, the couple decided to head out. But they were stopped by owner Kip Ward. The Warrens introduced themselves as paranormal investigators. Then Ward directed them to Karen Richards, manager of The Eventuary.

After setting up a meeting with Richards, the Warrens discovered just what they were about to be faced with.

“She walked us around the building, told us about the unfortunate and tragic history of the building and I had no idea of this place,” James said. “I had no idea

returning guests that stayed with us in those opening days and they were thrilled for us just to be open and they were just happy to see everything that we did with the property.”

neutral decision simply applying the facts to the law,” Baldwin said. “I am committed to change that. Not with fancy words. Rather, by doing and leading by example.”

Baldwin said he was recently listed by the governor’s office as a highly qualified candidate for judicial office. He began his legal career in Lincoln City in 1989.

“I have enjoyed the civil practice of law immensely over those 30 years,” he said.

“I currently litigate in all state and federal courts in Oregon.”

In his opinion, Baldwin feels that people are not receiving findings and conclusions due largely to the expense of getting to trial, and because criminal matters take priority.

“During my time volunteering on the Judicial Administration Committee,

we spent most of our time trying to find ways to better fund our state courts,” Baldwin said. “The situation has worsened over the last decade. Our courts remain severely underfunded by our legislature. They remain among the most underfunded in our nation. It is a problem that has faced each of our Chief Justices over the

to work with him and help him out. I had to come to grips with like, what this is, should I throw this project away? Is it is it something just to stop?”

Confirming The Unexplained The next step was to bring in reinforcements.

The Warrens got on the phones and started inviting mediums to come check out the building. Not just any mediums, reputable mediums, like Sarah Lemos and others.

“I thought would be interesting to get as many mediums as possible, and see if what they found was congruent,” James said.

Bump in the Road In 2018, Kip Ward passed away. After years of studying The Eventuary, the Warrens said they had to put the film on hold.

“We met Kip through this situation and in the amount and capacity that I met him, I consider him a friend,” James said. “I feel like he was a great man in our lives. He allowed us into his businesses, almost with no question. He changed our lives, and in whatever way, whether it’s this film, or whether it’s just the fact that he was such a giving and open person, and was willing to just let us go.”

During that same time,

the Warrens landed a meeting with Mike Holden, former Lincoln City Police Chief during the time of Omsberg’s arrest.

“I went to the funeral services for Kip and it was the same day that I made an appointment to meet with Mike Holden, which seemed like an odd coincidence,” James said. “He said ‘I want to release this information that nobody knows to you for your movie.’ Well, from the time that we met him to few weeks after, through an email back and forth, he changed his mind.”

Holden decided to not take part in the film, because he had kept a promise to someone to keep the information he knew confidential. Hurt by the decision, James said he respected his choice.

“I came to the conclusion that no matter what he’s holding back, what really matters is that Mike had integrity to keep his promise to whoever that person was,” James said. “I feel like he showed his true self, that his integrity won through and that he kept his word to their original person. Mike’s a good man.

“But I still wonder, what does he know? We still don’t know that.”

After the loss of Ward and the let down of losing Holden’s information, the Warrens considered scraping the whole project.

“All I knew was I was called to this location. I went there alone at night.

I went there with Diana. I went with mediums. I did all sorts of experiments,” James said. “Then Kip died and I was asking myself well who’s this for now? I was trying

home.

“We’re able to take care of each of our guests and get to know them… Whereas, maybe a larger property there’s just so many guests coming in and out that they’re not able to remember everyone,” Reyes said.

“For us being a smaller hotel, but having things that larger hotels don’t have, we’re able, to meet a lot of people’s needs. We deliver breakfast to the room every morning. We have a wine social for our guests every evening. That’s all a part of

their rate when they stay here.”

Reyes noted that their staff is also very personable and knowledgeable of the Oregon Coast, which provides an extra layer of hospitality for each guest.

“We’re just excited to

be open and we welcome people to come in, come check us out whether they want to stay with us or they want to come as locals who are curious about what we did,” Reyes said. “Don’t be afraid to stop by.”

last 30 years.”

Baldwin said in order for our state to function for its people, persons with civil disputes need an effective, timely and neutral venue in which to have their concerns heard - and resolved - in a timely manner. State courts are the primary access point for people to obtain a remedy from the

government. Baldwin feels that access point is becoming more and more inaccessible to working families and small businesses in Lincoln County.

“It is my experience as a trial litigator and appellate

advocate that our circuit courts are not providing access to that civil justice,” Baldwin said. “I will use my 30 years of litigation experience and legal talent to fairly, completely and timely adjudicate matters consis-

tently with the requirements of our state constitution.

“I ask for your vote. I look forward to bringing my substantial legal experience, integrity and fairness to the court in full service to the people of Lincoln County.”

BRING THIS COUPON IN FOR

of the history. I had no idea of the tragic end that Dale (Omsberg) had in 2013 and didn’t know anything about the scar on the community.

That it was just a horrible experience for everybody involved.”

Richards described the history of local mortician Dale Patrick Omsberg, who has found to have 16 decomposing bodies in the parlor basement, with numerous others left unidentified in a mass grave in Lincoln City. Omsberg was sentenced to 30 days in jail, and forced the state of Oregon to rethink their crematoria law. In 2013, Omsberg was accused of sexual assault in South Carolina.

Shortly after, Omsberg died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff.

After hearing the stories from Richards, and a few of her personal accounts of paranormal happenings, the Warrens started filming and were given full access to film wherever and whenever.

“We took her stories and we put them throughout the whole movie… She tells the story of what’s going on,” James said.

“Like if it matched what the other mediums were saying.

Once I started going over those readings, I started noticing the things that they were saying were common.

And it blew my mind.”

The mediums found simple things about the building that that anybody could likely guess, but they also found some not so simple things, such as hidden documents, letters and a stash of porn that was found behind the walls during the renovation done

by Ward. The Warrens began asking questions.

“What was Dale doing with the porn stash that he had hidden behind the walls? Like criminal psychology says, sexual crimes are a pattern. It really got me going, are we going to discover something new here? Is there going to be some victims that come forward because of this?

Who knows, or maybe we can held some victim find closure,” James said.

Dealing with Grief After some soul searching, the Warrens decided to trudge forward with the film, not just for everyone involved, but for themselves as well.

“It really became a study of grief and how people are called to locations and don’t know why, and what they do with that grief,” Diana said.

“We dealt with our own grief and we would talk to different people and just reach out when we could and I don’t know, I think it helps to talk about it because grief is something that a lot of people don’t want to talk about.”

James began cutting down the film and eventually formulated a structure among the hours of footage they had captured.

“The best way to do it was to let Karen from the Eventuary tell her stories and pepper in what the mediums were saying that matched what she was saying,” James said. “To me the movie became about some coincidences bringing people together. This place is just a building that’s in Lincoln City, just a building brought us all together.”

The debut of the film will be shown at the Times Theatre and Public House at 133 Broadway Street in Seaside on Mach 27. Doors open at 9:30 p.m. with a 10 p.m. showtime. Tickets can be purchased online at oregonghostconference.com.

The legendary Glenn Miller was one of the most successful of all dance bandleaders back in the Swing Era of the 1930â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. A matchless ADMISSION string of hit records, the constant impact of radio broadcasts and the drawing power at theatres, hotels and dance pavilion, built and sustained the momentum of popularity. Glenn disbanded his musical organization in 1942 at the height of its popularity to volunteer for the Army. There, he organized and led the famous Glenn Miller Army Air Force Band. On December 15, 1944, Major Miller took off in a single engine plane from Europe to precede his band to France, disappearing over the English Channel, never to be seen again. The army declared him officially dead a year later. With the release of the major motion movie The Glenn Miller Story featuring Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson in 1954, interest and popular demand led the Miller Estate to authorize the formation of the present Glenn Miller Orchestra. On June 6, 1956, and under the direction of drummer Ray McKinley who had become the unofficial leader of the Army Air Force Band after Glennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disappearance, the reformed Glenn Miller Orchestra performed its first concert and has been on the road ever since. Since January 2012, vocalist Nick Hilscher leads the band.

Today, the 18 member ensemble continues to play many of the original Miller arrangements both from the civilian band and the AAFB libraries. Additionally, it also plays some more modern selections arranged and performed in the Miller style and sound. Just as it was in Glennâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day, the Glenn Miller Orchestra today is still the most sought after big band in the world.
