Lincoln County votes to submit reopening application MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Oregon is on the cusp of taking the first steps to reopening and beginning to lift its stay at home orders, and after searching for clarity, Lincoln County is gearing up to start the process.

Oregon Governor Kate Brown held a press conference May 7, to give details regarding timelines for reopening qualifying counties and what phase one will entail for Oregonians. First, she spoke about the state’s progress in limiting transmission of COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

“We’ve taken extraordinary measures to protect our communities as we’ve fought this virus… These sacrifices have prevented as many as 70,000 COVID-19 infections and 1,500 hospitalizations in Oregon,” Gov. Brown said. “We are on track to meeting the goals that doctors and public health experts have laid out for us. That means we now have the opportunity to begin rebuilding a safe and strong Oregon.”

Gov. Brown said the state hit a record low last week for hospitalizations due to COVID-19 since the stay home order has been in place, with fewer than 100 statewide. The state has also increased its supply of personal protective equipment and has ramped up its testing and contact tracing throughout Oregon.

Earlier this year, the Culinary Program participated in “project week” where students chose a project of their choice (a technique or recipe they wanted to learn). They wrote goals, created recipes as needed and assessed their outcomes as well.

Taft students whisk, whip competition

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

The Taft 7-12 school building may be closed, but that didn’t stop the Taft High Culinary Program from competing in the annual SkillsUSA Oregon competition.

It also didn’t seem to have much of an affect on their performance as multiple students took top honors.

This year’s skills competition looked a bit different from year’s past, as students participated virtually between April 23-27, depending on the type of competition. Competitions included interviews via video chat, others required some video recording of their work and/or talk about why they did something the way they did, and others were exams using

the national technology standards.

The competition usually draws a large amount of participation from schools across the state, and this year, being virtual, Taft Culinary Instructor Julia Westbrook said it’s hard to say how many schools and students competed this year.

“Some students and schools felt it

100 and Counting: Local resident to celebrate 100th birthday MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

She’s done it all and seen it all.

And now Frances Opsahl is celebrating 100 years of life.

Currently residing in Gleneden Beach, Frances (Maloney) Opsahl has deep roots in Lincoln County.

According to her family, Opsahl is a descendant of pioneers Andrew and Anna Wisniewski, who came to Lincoln County from Poland in the 1880s.

Frances’ mother, Sophia, was one of eight children, and they all were farmers in the Lincoln Beach area, as well as working at the cannery on the Siletz River in the early 1900s.

Sophia later met her future husband, Frank Maloney of Newport, her family had then built a larger home in Depoe Bay. Frank went off to serve his country in France during World War I, and when he

returned, he married Sophia and they moved to the Kelso-Longview area.

Frances was born on May 19, 1920 and was followed by her sister Mary and brother Pat. While growing up in Kelso-Longview, Frances met Ted Opsahl, whom she married and they started a family.

The pair had four children while living in Kelso; Kathryn, John, Donna and Doug. They eventually moved to a farm in Castle Rock, Wash., where they had four more children; Bob, Marty, Chrissy and Craig.

Frances and Ted eventually made their way back to Lincoln County and their family continued to grow. Over the decades, Frances has had 18 grandchildren, 30 great grandchildren and four great, great grandchildren.

“She has seen wars, epidemics, horse drawn wagons to men on the moon with plans for Mars,” her niece Suzie Sawyer said. “She’s one

sharp cookie!”

Sawyer said Frances is an avid newspaper reader, and her favorite part is the crossword puzzles, which she fills out in ink.

“She knows her politics too, so don’t even try to debate her; she has lived the history,” Sawyer said.

As Frances still lives at home with the assistance of family and friends, she had been looking forward to her 100th birthday and planning a big bash for the past five years. Unfortunately, she is unable to have that party due to the Coronavirus.

However, her family is expecting a whole slew of birthday wishes and hopes to celebrate with her as soon as possible.

“Frances is a loving and patient parent, aunt and friend… She has a great sense of humor,” Sawyer said.

“She is loved and greatly appreciated by all her family and friends.

Happy birthday Sweetie!”

Depoe Bay Chamber launches fundraising campaign for local businesses THE NEWS GUARD

The Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce is excited to launch a fundraising campaign to directly support local businesses and nonprofit organizations impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.

Though on the surface, there seems to be financial support in the pipeline, many local organizations and individuals either haven’t yet received funds and/ or don’t qualify for federal or state support. Unfortunately, many economic experts predict at least 30 percent of small businesses will not make it through this current crisis.

“As the Depoe Bay Community, we simply can’t let that happen to these hard-working and dedicated individuals and organizations,” said Chamber Executive Director, Laura Furgurson. “Though many locals are unemployed and/or financially stretched, we know that overall as a community we can support this critical effort. In fact,

Once they understand the amount of funds raised, the Chamber will begin accepting simple and quick applications to distribute the funds directly to local businesses and non-profits.

If you’d like to apply for funds, check-back at www.discoverdepoebay.org for a short application.

Applicant requirements will also be listed on the website.

Distribution of funds will be approved by a vote of a committee of five individuals including two current Chamber board members, two community members appointed by the board, and the Chamber’s Executive Director.

Since the Chamber is a 501(c)6 non-profit, at this time, contributions are not tax-deductible, but the Chamber is working to make that possible in the near future.

There is one nursing faculty position in Tillamook county, one nursing faculty position at OCCC in Lincoln County, for a total of 2 positions.

“What is the most important quality for the District Attorney to have?”

- Joshua Bacher

Lanee: While my opponent states that experience is the most important quality, I disagree.

Leadership is the most important quality. A good leader inspires. A good leader unites rather than divides. A good leader has a vision and the means to execute that vision. A good leader is humble. A good leader creates a professional environment. Being a good leader doesn’t come with age, it’s who you are. A good leader is what the District Attorney’s Office desperately needs.

For detailed information on these positions, the duties and responsibilities along with details on qualifications and to apply, visit OCCC’s employment website at: oregoncoastcc.org EOE

Can we trust you to follow through on the improvements you have said you’ll make if elected?

- Robin Wedertz

Lanee: Yes. I have a track record of following through on what I say I am going to do. I deeply care about the DA’s Office and our community. I will work hard day in and day out to ensure that Lincoln County is a better, safer place to live. I am young, energetic, full of ideas that are proven to have worked and I am ready to work hard for all of us.

YOU ASKED, LANEE ANSWERED “How are you going to make sure that child victims get justice and cases don’t get dumped?”

- Jill Wagner, former DA Office Manager 21 years

Lanee: The District Attorney’s Office needs Deputy District Attorneys that are trained to handle child abuse cases. I will provide training for DDAs and write policies to ensure that child abuse cases are handled consistently, farily, and are rigorously prosecuted. A child victim should never suffer and an abuser should never escape justice because the DA’s Office dropped the ball.

As the pioneer Cadet, Ellis said he appreciates that he was able to experience hands-on opportunities in these areas.

“Getting to work in the field with patrol and detectives, especially night shift,” Ellis said of his favorite experiences. “It’s a lot different to help out and be in the thick of investigating a car crash or performing a traffic stop, rather

It was a bittersweet for the Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) last week as they said goodbye to the first Cadet to join their program.

A longtime vision of former Police Chief Keith Kilian, Joseph Ellis pioneered the LCPD Cadet program in 2019. During his time as a Cadet, Ellis got an up-close look at the law enforcement world, and during this past year he spent time learning the various aspects of LCPD in patrol, detectives, evidence, dispatch and administra-

than just being a bystander.”

Ellis was also integral to the community outreach events, such as the Drug Take Back, National Night Out, Blue Christmas and fundraising for the LCPD K9 program.

Although he enjoyed his time as a Cadet, Ellis is moving on to pursue a degree in Bible Studies, as he will soon attend Corban University, where he will become a full-time student.

Ellis’ advice to future LCPD Cadets is to take advantage of any project or opportunity that presents itself, whether it’s taking reports, helping with community events, or going on ride-alongs,

because every bit of experience counts and will offer something new to learn each time. He also recommends that the medium burrito for $6 at La Roca is a great option for lunch if they want a cheap but substantial meal.

Ellis is optimistic about his future and hasn’t ruled out a return to the LCPD after he receives his degree.

“It’s anyone’s guess what I will do,” he said. “Maybe LCPD will see my application again in a couple of years.”

LCPD is appreciative of Ellis and hopes to continue to grow the Cadet program.

Senior and Disability Services promotes health in older adults and people with disabilities by partnering with community agencies and funding evidence-based programs in Linn, Benton and Lincoln Counties.

Our information and referral call center can connect you with local resources to improve your health; take an exercise class like Walk with Ease offered at Newport’s 60+ Activity Center, sign up for a Chronic Disease Self-Management class like the National Diabetes Prevention Program, or receive support for your emotional health through PEARLS (the Program to Encourage Active Rewarding Lives), a depression reduction program for older adults.

We were all made for more. More love.

More hope. More connection. And now more than ever, it’s important for us to stay connected. In times of uncertainty we pull together as a community, and together we can overcome anything.

Critical services that keep older adults healthy, independent, and engaged in their communities are funded by the Older Americans Act. Call for more information and resources.

Need to strengthen provider protections The woman was furious.

She demanded I order her father’s doctor to prescribe the medications she read about in a “medical journal”. She knew the right words to get a hospital administrator’s attention, that our rural hospital did not practice standards of care, follow best practices, have standing protocols or follow “the book!” (It appeared a malpractice lawyer had prepped her.)

She said if the doctor refused, she would sue the hospital and demand her father be transported to the city medical center 70 miles away. I talked with the doctor. He knew the patient personally and refused to prescribe one of the medications; he felt it unnecessary as her father was well on the road to recovery.

He offered to arrange for a physician at the medical center to accept her father’s transfer. She became even more furious when I advised her that she would have to pay cash for the transfer as Medicare would determine it was medically unnec-

someone’s negligence or fault, you should seek legal advice to see if you have a coronavirus malpractice lawsuit.”

With Coronavirus being new and unique, the standards of care, best practices, and “the book” to follow are being written and changed every day. This ambiguity can be a field day for the attorney who advised the angry woman. By the way, we later found out “the medical article” on which she based her demands was in “Reader’s Digest”.

She did not sue!

It’s up to our Governor and Legislature to review and perhaps expand and strengthen liability protections for health care providers doing their best, where there really is no “book” to follow, and intuition, judgment, and faith are not recognized in the courts but are often critical at the bedside.

essary. He did not want transfer but his daughter insisted.

Already well on the road to recovery, he was discharged from the medical center in three days.

This memory was prompted by a poster pun on Facebook and a Wall Street Journal (April 24,2020) item headlined “Stopping a Lawsuit Epidemic”. The pun read: Commercials in 2030 will be like:

Lincoln County seeks more cloth masks for vulnerable populations THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office – Emergency Management Division is asking for additional help to provide cloth masks to our local vulnerable populations.

The donated cloth masks will be collected and then redistributed to the vulnerable populations through partners and organizations working with high-risk populations.

Through this donation drive, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office - Emergency Management Division, aims to gather at least 5,000 (about 10 percent of Lincoln County’s population) cloth face masks. Approximately 900 cloth masks have been collected so far with 400 of them distributed to local first responders, healthcare workers and essential care workers.

Vulnerable populations include

but are not limited to seniors, those living in congregate settings like group homes, persons with disabilities, minority populations, those receiving social services through an agency, or houseless persons. Organizations interested in distributing cloth masks to vulnerable and high-risk residents should contact the Lincoln County Call center for more information at LincolnCoCallCenter@ co.lincoln.or.us or 541-265-0621.

If you are donating cloth masks, you must fill out the form located on the county website and bring it with you to a donation site. You will receive a “donation receipt” for your items. If you do not have the ability to print from home, there will be blank copies at the donation sites.

Lincoln City cancels Independence Day celebration, kite festival MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Annual summer events statewide are being canceled and postponed due to concerns over COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

Recently, the City of Lincoln City announced they will be canceling local favorite events such as the Independence Day celebration on the Siletz Bay. “As a precautionary measure to protect the safety and health of our residents and guests in response to COVID-19, the City of Lincoln City has made the difficult decision to cancel our annual Independence Day celebration that was scheduled for July 4, 2020,”

The firework display over Siletz Bay, which was canceled this year, has been a tradition for 65 years.

City officials said. “Lincoln City has been a gathering place to celebrate this national holiday, welcoming visitors and their families from around the world. The firework display over Siletz Bay has been a tradition for 65 years.”

The decision to cancel the 2020 Independence Day celebration comes on the heels of the announcement that Lincoln City’s annual Summer Kite Festival, originally scheduled for June 27-28, 2020, will also be canceled. Currently, the Fall Kite Festival is still planned for early October.

Lincoln City Parks and Recreation hosts drive-thru mascot parade THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln City Parks and Recreation is excited to announce their first ever “mascot parade” hosted at the Lincoln City Community Center.

The event will take place on Friday, May 15, 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot.

The Parks and Recreation Department has focused on virtual fitness, wildlife, and youth activities since the closure in midMarch, providing weekly fitness videos (Strength & Balance, Gentle Yoga, and Tai Chi), as well as the very popular Zoom Dance Parties twice a week – one celebrating and thanking all first responders, frontline workers, and essential employees who joined the party.

The idea started with a drive-thru zoo of stuffed animals and morphed into celebrating the many mascots of Lincoln City for a curbside drive-thru experience. Staff called numerous resources and gathered more than a dozen mascots, and costumes aplenty.

Drivers and passengers are encouraged to dress up as well. Social distancing guidelines will be in place, as cars drive through the community center parking lot and view from their cars.

Cruise the Community Center parking lot a few times and enjoy the many faces of Lincoln City – “Tigers, Sharks, and Beavers, oh my.”

Should you have questions or comments, please reach out anytime to Parks and Recreation Ambassador - LoRee Lafon at llafon@lincolncity.org, 541.996.1248.

Senators announce nearly $16 million in relief funding for Oregon fisheries MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced nearly $16 million in assistance will go to Oregon fisheries, fishing businesses, fish processors and more that have been impacted by the coronavirus.

The funding is Oregon’s portion of the $300 million in fisheries assistance included in the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act. “This is desperately needed federal support for Oregon’s hardworking fishermen and women and the coastal communities they support,” Merkley said.

“While this is a welcome

step, we still have a tremendous amount of work to do to ensure the survival and continued vitality of the seafood and fishing industries that are so crucial to both Oregon and the nation.

“That’s why I’m leading a bipartisan push to include an additional $3 billion in federal support for fishermen and seafood processors in any upcoming coronavirus relief package.”

The $15,982,827 in funding, disbursed through NOAA Fisheries, will go to the Pacific States Marine Fisheries Commission (PSMFC), which will work with the state and industry stakeholders to provide assistance to Oregon’s fisheries.

“Oregonians working

hard to earn a living along the coast in our state’s fishing industry have been walloped by the economic fallout from this public health crisis,” Wyden said. “I’m gratified these resources are headed to the Oregon Coast, but much more needs to be done and I’ll keep battling to secure the $3 billion needed by Oregon’s signature fishing and seafood processors to weather this economic storm.”

Fishery participants eligible for funding include tribal nations, commercial fishing businesses, charter and for-hire fishing businesses, qualified aquaculture operations, processors, and other fishery-related businesses.

Reopening From page A1

as we begin to reopening of Oregon,” Gov. Brown said. “Let me be very clear, these choices are not easy.

As we reopen parts of our economy, we know and expect there may be an uptick in new Coronavirus cases. That’s why we have to be prepared in every single corner of the state, because as we’ve seen, an outbreak can occur anywhere in the state.

“Until there is a vaccine, unfortunately, we will not be able to go back to life as we knew it.”

The Governor said physical distancing is, and will, remain apart of our lives for many months to come, along with the use of face coverings and vigilant hand washing. That being said, Oregon counties can begin applying to begin phase one of the Governor’s Reopening Oregon plan starting May 8 and if they meet the criteria, they will be able to begin phase one on May 15.

The criteria includes showing a decline in COVID-19 or have fewer than five hospitalizations, having sufficient COVID-19 testing and contact tracing capability, establishing plans for the isolation and quarantine of new cases, having the hospital capacity to handle any surge in COVID-19 cases and have enough personal protective equipment for health care workers.

For counties that meet the state requirements for phase one: - Restaurants and bars can open for sit down service with adequate physical distancing measures in place. Additionally, employees will be required to wear masks.

- Personal care businesses: salons, barbers, gyms can open with physical distancing and increased sanitation. Additional guidelines such as wearing face coverings and gloves at salons will also be given. Salons must serve employees be appointment only and are required to maintain records for contact tracing.

- Retail businesses can open with physical distancing, added signage, oneway flow in aisles and tape markings to lineate space.

- Local gatherings can increase to sizes of 25 with physical distancing.

Once in phase one, each county will remain in the phase for a minimum of 21 days to monitor and see if

Oregon counties began applying to start phase one of the Governor’s Reopening Oregon plan starting May 8 and if they meet the criteria, they will be able to begin phase one on May 15. there is an unsafe uptick in the cases and hospitalizations. If at that point the county still meets the prerequisites, and has not seen an increase in cases/ hospitalizations, then the state will assess to see if they are able to move forward.

The details in phase two will be finalized shortly and Gov. Brown said they will include somewhat larger gatherings and more work in office settings. Gov. Brown spoke briefly about large crowd events such as live sports, concerts, festivals and conventions, stating that they will likely not be happening until there is a vaccine. She advised that any large events scheduled through September should be canceled or significantly modified.

“As this process of reopening begins, I ask that Oregonians come together and be smart,” Gov. Brown said. “Please follow the safety measures we are putting in place to help these businesses reopen. It’s up to all of us to follow their advice to keep Oregon moving forward.”

Lincoln County Lincoln County officials said last Friday they were uncertain when Lincoln County will qualify for an initial reopening of businesses due to questions about regional readiness.

Oregon has seven key criteria measured at the County level or at a regional level that must be met before a County may enter Phase One of reopening.

Lincoln County is in a region that includes Lincoln, Benton, Linn, Polk, Yamhill and Marion Counties.

“It’s clear that Lincoln County can meet countylevel benchmarks set out by the state of Oregon,” Commissioner Kaety Jacobson, Board of Commissioners Chair, said. “However, there is less clarity if the county’s regional partners will be ready to meet regional criteria for hospital surge capacity, personal protective equipment supply levels for hospitals, and testing resources and capacity for the region.”

In Lincoln County restrictions on local shortterm lodging are covered by a separate order adopted by the county and cities and are not part of the stateapproved reopening plan.

The governor expressed concerns in a call with commissioners Thursday that the reopening not result in a deluge of visitors to the coast. Local work on a phased reopening of shortterm lodging is included in

the local planning process.

On Monday (May 11), the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners met via Zoom and discussed whether they would submit an application to begin the reopen process. Commissioners expressed concerns that this process may be a bit premature to start at the May 15 date, as Jacobson cited her trip over the weekend to Lincoln City, in which she saw several cars both driving and parked along the side of the road.

“I am concerned that the horse is out of the barn and getting horses back in the barn can be difficult,” she said.

Because of this, Jacobson suggested submitting an application without a set date for reopening. Commissioner Claire Hall was indifferent to that idea, while Commissioner Doug Hunt was in favor of setting a June 1 date, which would coincide with the county’s short-term rental order.

“I’m uncomfortable submitting if we are going to

Some services may need to be suspended for a period of time.”

Lincoln City has put a few processes into effect to help those in need. There is a water and sewer deferral program for those unable to pay their bills at this time and the City instigated a no shut off policy. They also have two aid programs totaling $635,000 for segments of the community: Lodging and Non-lodging businesses. They are also discussing a $50,000 program for food out in the community.

“Our businesses are suffering… I am confident with the experience I have seen that Lincoln City citizens will continue to support our businesses as they reopen and help as many as possible get back on their feet. It will be a slow process but we can do this together,” Anderson said.

“Oregon Coast Community College Small Business Development Center and local banks/credit unions are being very supportive of our business community in answering questions and helping them identify resources.”

Anderson said Lincoln City is currently working with the County on ways to gradually reopen hotels and vacation rentals after the county order ends on May 31. Anderson also took the time to thank the essential workers in the community for their efforts during this time.

“Thank you to all the essential workers who have been assisting us all face to face at grocery stores, banks, delivery trucks drivers and many first responders,” he said. “There have been many, many other people out in the community making sure people are fed and taking care of the needs of their neighbors and friends.

Lincoln City has many true heroes every day.”

SPORTS

50 Years Ago: Tigers win pair of district titles MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

If you haven’t been watching ESPN’s ‘The Last Dance,’ a documentary about Michael Jordan’s final season with the Chicago Bulls, or tuning into the Korean Baseball League, it’s likely that local sports fanatics are growing an appetite for anything sports related.

Feeling that same sentiment, this week, I took a look back into The News Guard archives and discovered that 50 years ago this week, Taft High School accomplished a rather unique feat: winning a division championship in two sports.

In the May 14, 1970 edition of The News Guard, detailed is Taft’s 1-0 victory over Newport High School for the northern division baseball championship. Playing through some sporadic drizzles of rain, the Tigers had an outstanding performance from pitcher Tom Martell.

“A poised Tom Martell, rested

and ready, offered one of the best performances of his prep career to slam the door on the Cubs, 1-0,” the excerpt reads.

During the contest, Martell completed his fifth ‘No-Hitter Game’ of the season with no runs and no hits allowed on the mound.

Martell did not walk a single batter and tallied a remarkable 14 strikeouts.

Taft’s lone run came in the

third inning as Larry Brown ripped a line drive that scored Frank Morris. The Cubs threatened late in the game, as two runners reached in the seventh inning on errors, and were in scoring position thanks to a passed ball at home plate.

“Martell, the Monday master, ended it almost by himself when he alertly fielded a squeeze bunt, tagged out the speeding runner in front of home plate, the coaxed the next batter into a grounder for the final out,” the article reads.

After the victory, Taft faced coastal foe Reedsport in a threegame series for a spot in the state tournament. Taft took game one, but the Braves would win the final two.

The loss proved to be the final game for longtime Taft coach Bill Stempel, who finished his career with a 106-46 record.

During the same week that Taft baseball was crowned division champions, the Taft boys golf team claimed the crown on the

course, beating Newport by just two strokes.

The Tigers played two days at Newport’s Agate Beach Golf Course, and trailed the home team by four strokes going into day two of the tournament. But Taft rallied midway through the day to take

a slim lead, holding off the Cubs thanks to freshman David Hopkins.

“It took freshman David Hopkins, who ended in a three way-tie for the tournament low scoring, to turn the trick with a two under par 34 on the front nine and a 38 on the back nine for an 18-hole score of 72,” said The News Guard article.

But it wasn’t just Hopkins, Jon Davis and Monte Kentta both carded a 77 during the final day and Larry Mott and Kerry Johansen tallied scores of 80 and 84 respectively to power Taft to first place.

“For the thing that has pulled us ahead all year – balanced scoring,” coach Ron Mountain said of his team.

The following week, the Tiger golfers went on to state in Portland, where they finished second overall, just two strokes behind Stayton. Hopkins had a two-day total of 153 to place fourth overall in state.

Samaritan works to provide COVID-19 testing for local fishermen THE NEWS GUARD

Getting professional fisherman based in Yaquina Bay safely back to work on the Pacific Ocean during a pandemic can be complicated. COVID-19 testing to be performed in coming days will help get this multimillion-dollar industry ready for hake season, which begins on May 15.

Crew members on vessels represented by the Midwater Trawlers Cooperative will be tested on May 8 and May 11 by appointment only. Then, they will be quarantined in their homes until time to board their vessels. To date, 60 fishermen have been scheduled to come through the Samaritan Depoe Bay Clinic testing site.

This cooperative testing effort involves the resources

was just “one more thing” with teaching online on their plate,” Westbrook said.

“However, overall there are 43 different chapters (or schools) that compete and are members each year.”

For Taft, they had first place finishers in three separate categories. In Commercial Baking, Kira Anderson placed first. Then in Culinary Arts, Joe Russo was first and in Restaurant Service, Oscar Rodriguez took the top spot. Additionally, Leah Weitzel placed second in Cake Decorating and Bryanna Berlin was second in Commercial Baking.

“Each contest is different but they all have tech standards,” Westbrook

said. “All contests include academic standards such as those in math, language and science.”

Westbrook said although they were not able to do hands-on cooking because it would not be equitable or fair to every competitor, working from home did have an upside.

“Advantages were things like being in the comfort of their own home rather than in a new and unfamiliar environment with other students competing along with them. That can be quite stressful,” Westbrook said. “Some disadvantages though are that even if we are able to use the national exams, it doesn’t show everything a student is capable of and some

of several agencies – Samaritan Health Services staff will perform the testing using test kits provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Lincoln County Public Health. The Oregon State Public Health Lab will pick up the specimens at the end of each day for processing, with results expected within two days of testing.

Midwater Trawlers Cooperative represents 29 trawl catcher vessels, the majority of which are based in Newport. They fish on the West Coast and make up a large part of the distant water fleet fishing for pollock, cod and groundfish in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.

“Commercial fishing is deemed essential, but the uncommon logistics of fishing can be at odds with

social distancing measures during this unprecedented time,” said Midwater Trawlers Cooperative Executive Director Heather Mann.

“Ensuring our crew members are healthy before embarking on at-sea trips, where the working space is tight, is a critical piece to ensuring we are able to continue delivering a healthy protein source for the nation at the same time we support rural coastal economies.”

Those involved in this unique, multi-agency partnership are optimistic that the model can be replicated with more fishermen and processors in Lincoln County, then expanded along the Oregon coast, with the ultimate goal of getting people safely back to work in these essential industries.

students feel more stressed taking tests.”

With several students receiving top honors, Westbrook said she is proud of how her students followed through with their goals.

“It’s hard to tell how things go and I never have expectations other than that they finish what they started… And they know that is all I ask,” Westbrook said. “I think it has to do with their character and follow through. That says a lot.”

One of the reasons Taft 7-12 competes in the SkillsUSA each year is because the standards they judge by are the ones they use every day in the classroom, Westbrook says. Typically, the one thing they do prepare

for is the recipes (if competing in a cooking-related contest and not leadership competition) and tweak them to what they think the recipe product should be.

They have chefs and alumni come in and support them by brainstorming some solutions or different versions to the recipes.

“We don’t do anything extra to have an edge on other schools. I don’t want to spend extra time on a competition when we have skills to learn,” Westbrook said. “This does both organically and the students are always surprised when they read those standards near competition time. I think it brings them a sense of pride that they know these things.”

I have lived and worked in Lincoln County as a general practitioner, public defender and criminal defense attorney since 1973.

I want to take this opportunity to give our current Lincoln County District Attorney, Jonathan Cable, my strongest endorsement to the voters of this county to retain him as District Attorney.

Having done this work for over 40 years, and having worked with all previous Lincoln County District Attorneys since 1973, there is only one choice in this election.

Mr. Cable is the only candidate who possesses the necessary qualifications and talents for this position.

STEVE LOVEJOY, ATTORNEY (RETIRED) He has gone to court as a deputy in the office of the District Attorney AND he has gone to court in the interest of keeping intact his clients’ Constitutional right to the presumption of innocence. Mr. Cable’s opponent, on the other hand, has little experience, by comparison.

So here’s how I’m going to put it to you: If given the choice, would you rather board the airplane whose pilot has 10,000 hours under his belt?

Or the one whose pilot has a fraction of those hours?

I’ve already chosen. Now it’s your turn.

JACOB ACCURSO, INVESTIGATOR I am proud to endorse Jonathan Cable for Lincoln County District Attorney. As a patrol deputy for the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, I worked closely with Jonathan when he was a Deputy District Attorney.

He is a hard worker and builds relationships with our community members.

Jonathan is respected by my fellow law enforcement professionals because of his experience, expertise and dedication to our community.

CHRIS MILLER, LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICER (RETIRED)

Jonathan Cable is the only candidate with significant experience in the practice of law in Lincoln County, both as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney. He has demonstrated strong management skills and a commitment to serve the people of our community.

Mr. Cable has high integrity and honesty, as he has shown in our office. The position of District Attorney is a vital role in Lincoln County, and requires an experienced attorney with proven ability. If you were planning to vote for me, please transfer that vote to Jonathan Cable so we can continue the prosecution of criminals in Lincoln County with honesty and integrity.

KENNETH “RUSTY” PARK, LINCOLN COUNTY DEPUTY DA Jonathan Cable exemplifies the highest standards of ethics, transparency and integrity.

He is experienced, professional and committed.

He is serving Lincoln County well as our district attorney, and we should keep him.

SUSAN ELIZABETH REESE PAINTER, ATTORNEY I have been an attorney since 1998, and I have worked for five District Attorneys during my career. I can say without hesitation, District Attorney Jonathan Cable is easily among the best.

He’s tough on crime, but he also understands human frailty. He believes in rehabilitation when appropriate and punishment when there is no alternative. He understands how to use our limited resources wisely.

He has never sought the spotlight. He just happens to love being a prosecutor, and he has dedicated nearly his entire adult life to the service of others.
