Jennifer Malter, DVM, business partner Mary Kincaid and many more came together for a groundbreaking ceremony on May 29.

Oceanlake Veterinary Clinic moving ahead with new facility MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Out with the old, in with the new.

Almost two years ago, Oceanlake Veterinary Clinic purchased the old feed store at 3219 NW Highway 101 in Lincoln City. Since then, the clinic has been in the process of gaining city approval and permitting, as well as securing the necessary funding. And although COVID-19 did delay that process even further, the Ocean-

lake Veterinary Clinic has finally jumped through all the hoops to start building its new home.

On May 29, the veterinary staff and a small portion of the community, gathered to celebrate with a groundbreaking ceremony at the new site.

“We know that many of you would have preferred to celebrate with us and I assure you we wanted that to happen,” Jennifer Malter, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine at Oceanlake said to the community. “We did not envision this moment without all of you that helped us become who we are today. However, we had to abide by current social distancing and group gathering requirements.”

City Council talks lodging criteria, public mask wearing MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Short-term rentals are now allowed to reopen in Lincoln City, and the City Council answered some of the questions being asked at a recent meeting.

On May 29, the City Council met for a special meeting to discuss several topics, mostly about lodging being permitted to open on June 1. Prior to discussions, Mayor Dick Anderson spoke briefly about a County meeting he had recently attended, which detailed the Phase II criteria of the Governors Reopening Oregon plan.

According to Anderson, Lincoln County is unlikely to qualify for Phase II due to the inability to trace the latest COVID-19 (coronavirus) cases in the county. Anderson also noted that the county’s unemployment rate is still among the highest at 26 percent.

The Council then discussed some of the lodging criteria, such as the 24-hour rule, which was met by some confusion for short-term rental own-

Graduation Plans Oregon schools have all been faced with the same dilemma this school year: How can they hold a graduation ceremony within the state’s COVID-19 restrictions.

It seems Taft 7-12 has developed a solution.

Last week, Principal Lupo announced that Taft would be holding a unique ceremony on June 6 at Taft High School.

“We have some great plans in place for our seniors that will be different from our traditional graduation, but we believe it will still honor our graduates,” Lupo said in a letter to families. “I want to thank you in advance for your patience and understanding as we all have went through some dramatic changes.”

Starting at 11:20 a.m. on June 6, Taft will show a virtual graduation video on the school’s website and social media. The pre-recorded video will feature the traditional ceremony format with speeches from Lupo, Superintendent Dr. Karen Gray, guest speaker Mary Parnell and speeches from the Valedictorians and Salutatorians.

After the video, students will head up to the school at 1 p.m. for a drive-up graduation. Graduates, along with their families, will take turns driving up to the designated booths that will include the receiving of the diplomas, gifts and more.

The school has also instilled safety guidelines such as requiring a minimum of six feet between all graduation participants and having all staff members wear masks.

Additionally, all passengers will remain in the vehicle except for photo opportunity for one family member taking a photo from a designated area. Staff will monitor and make sure each family stays in the designated area and wears masks.

Other safety measures can be seen online at taft-high. lincoln.k12.or.us.

“The graduating class of 2020 will never be forgotten,” Lupo said in the letter. “I am grateful for all the support that each of you have given to our students as they end one chapter of their lives and start a new one.”

Coast Guard Feature: The Creed

U.S. COAST GUARD

Years ago a visitor from Central Oregon stood on the Depoe Bay Bridge, which runs along the Pacific Coast Highway, otherwise known as State Highway 101. She looked out to see a silver boat zipping around in the ocean, and thought to herself ‘that looks fun and I want to drive that boat.’ “I had no prior knowledge of the Coast Guard, but at that time in my life I was looking for a purpose,� said Petty Officer 2nd Class Kelsi Dozier, (surfman #561) from Coast Guard Station Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. “After that family vacation to Depoe Bay and a little video research on YouTube, I reached out to a Coast Guard recruiter.�

The Coast Guard has certified 10 surfmen during the past 8 months. In order to earn the surfman qualification a Coast Guard coxswain requires a lot of hours at the helm while operating in the surf. These weather and sea conditions are most often found between the months of October and April. “It requires a lot of extra time outside of normal duty hours,� said Petty Officer 1st Class Adam Preiser (surfman # 535), Station Chetco River in Brookings, Oregon. “I had to break-in at two different units and came in on baby leave to scout conditions and push for training opportunities.

Surfman training conditions hold a very tight window and you have to get out there when the window is open.�

Preiser’s baby leave wasn’t any normal baby leave either, because his newborn needed to have life-saving heart surgery. Station Chetco River is a 7-hour drive from where the heart surgery was taking place at Oregon Health and Science University in Portland, Oregon. While visiting with his wife and newborn, he saw a weather system forming and knew it would bring the surf needed to train, and so he raced home.

Resiliency is a key factor for both member, family member, and mentor. Coast Guard service members need spouses and support systems to be strong and in place, so when they are on duty, their whole body and mind are on the job. “Mentors put in a ton of hours to push you toward the qualification,� said Petty Officer 2nd Class Enrique Lemos, (surfman #559), Station Umpqua River. “They put in the same time as me.�

Surfman mentors consistently preach patience, determination, and humility, because earning the surfman qualification isn’t an easy or quick process. “The most important thing I learned from my mentor was to continue to learn and develop,� said Petty Officer 2nd Class Aaron Hadden, (surfman #560), Station Umpqua River. “Making surfman is not the end result. I have to continue to act like I haven’t made it yet.�

Mentors share mistakes and successes. They offer learning

There is an awful lot of tough love as coxswains work toward the surfman qualification, but that ends up creating a very close bond.

A member’s resiliency is needed most when stick time is at a premium. “It’s really hard to share stick time,� said Preiser. “It’s like a double-edged sword. On one side it’s healthy competition, and on the other, you want to be greedy because weather changes and boat casualties occur, and you don’t want to miss out.�

The healthy competition spoken of by Preiser was especially present while Hadden and Lemos were trying to qualify at the same time. They ended up earning the qualification on the same day and receiving their pin on the same day. Petty Officer 1st Class Raymond Aguilar (surfman # 557) and Dozier also had to share stick time at Station Yaquina Bay. “You share a different bond with somebody who is operating at the same level as you are,� said Aguilar. “Time is divided up fairly in my opinion,� said Hadden. “It’s a friendly competition. You just have to be always there pursuing signoffs and asking to go out.�

This brotherhood turns into a community composed of past, current, and future surfman and they all live by a creed: I will, to the best of my ability, pursue each mission with the commitment, compassion, and courage inherent in the title of Surfman.

I will endeavor to reinforce the worldwide reputation of our forefathers in the Lifeboat Community.

I will maintain a guardian’s eye on my crew at all times, and keep a cool, yet deliberate, hand on the throttle.

I will give of myself, and my knowledge as those who gave to me; so as the line of Coast Guard Surfman will live forever.

I will ensure that my supervisors rest easy with the knowledge that I am at the helm, no matter what the conditions.

I will never unnecessarily jeopardize myself, my boat, or my crew; but will do so freely to rescue those in peril.

I will strive with dedication and determination to bring credit

upon Coast Guard Surfman, past and future. “Taking care of people and taking care of the crew are key factors in every successful mission,� said Lemos. “You have to invest in that philosophy.�

This is a once-in-a-lifetime process,� said Aguilar. “I will pay it forward on the positive side and will avoid paying it forward with the bad experiences.� “I want to save people as well as their property,� said Dozier. “I also look forward to being able to pass the knowledge that I have gained to the next watchstander, crewman, and coxswain. Part of my job is to teach others the energy and movement of the waves and how to look at the weather. A surfman has to look at everything and recognize how it will come together and affect the mission.�

For Preiser, The ‘surfman community’ is strong and it goes outside of the Coast Guard. He has known a fellow surfman since he was 5 years old and another surfman was in his wedding. “The brotherhood begins while training because regulations state we can’t go out in the surf without another boat out there,� said Preiser. “That boat and that crew is our lifeline if something goes wrong.�

Regardless of the different backgrounds, these five surfmen have all come together to protect mariners in the Pacific Northwest.

Preiser hails from The Outer Banks of North Carolina, the birthplace of the original Coast Guard surfmen, the Midgett family. But he didn’t realize or know the significance of his hometown before joining the Coast Guard.

Aguilar joined the Coast Guard out of Santa Clarita, California, and spent time at two different units, Coast Guard Cutter Boutwell and Station Seattle, before deciding to pursue the surfman qualification at Station Yaquina Bay. “Research showed the challenge of becoming a master at boat driving skills,� said Aguilar. “But the original draw to the Coast Guard was the humanitarian efforts as first responders.�

Hadden began his military career in the Army, where he worked with explosives. He was deployed in Afghanistan for a year before joining the Coast Guard.

Lemos from central California, learned of the surfman career path at boot camp where his company

commander, a surfman, told stories of his career at surf stations.

His first unit was aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Pamlico, and then he attended Boatswain’s Mate A-school before arriving at Station Umpqua River.

Dozier’s journey began shortly after that trip to Depoe Bay. Her first unit out of boot camp was Station Chetco River in Brookings, Oregon. This was also her first upclose experience with the 47-foot Motor Lifeboat, the silver boat that she saw during her trip to Depoe Bay. She started her career in the engineering department before going to Boatswain’s Mate ASchool. She then earned coxswain and heavy-weather coxswain qualification at Station Jonesport, Maine. “As you begin to understand the surfman community, that is part of what keeps you in it,� said Dozier. “Most public knowledge of what surfman are comes from imagery of boats crashing through waves, but a surfman’s knowledge of history, areas of responsibility, ability to read the ocean, understanding the dynamics and know where the dangers come from, is what sets a turfman apart. It isn’t all about boat driving, there’s also the other side of it that is based around knowledge, experience, and understanding.�

Most cases don’t occur in the surf, but surfman and the crews of the motor lifeboats are the people

who can get through any conditions to help the disabled mariners offshore, who would otherwise be drifting helplessly.

Last summer Dozier sat at the helm of a 47-foot MLB and watched the ocean swells approach the Depoe Bay entrance, known as the Hole in the Wall. As a now experienced boat operator, she intently watched the ocean to understand the dangers of entering this particular port. Although intently studying she remembers thinking, “This is pretty wild — a few years ago I was up on the bridge thinking they were nuts for trying to go in there. It looked too small and shallow.�

Dozier loves the history of the surfman and lifeboat community, which in turn heightens her appreciation toward the elite community she is now a member of. “I enjoy hearing the history of the surfman that came before me like Master Chief McAdams,� said Dozier. “History shows why we are here and why we do what we do.

One thing I have learned about being a surfman is it’s not one person or a number, it is a representation of the entire crew.�

Dozier may just be a selfproclaimed country girl, but with her inherent amount of compassion and drive to help others, she carries on the legacy of the creed as one of the Coast Guard’s newest surfman.

Lincoln County enters double digits for COVID-19 cases MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Lincoln County Public Health announced its COVID-19 case total hit double digits last week, and this week, a family gathering was determined to be the cause of a small outbreak.

On May 28, Public Health confirmed its 10th case, which is a symptomatic resident that had not had contact with a confirmed case. That case is being considered community acquired. The person is between the ages of 10 and 19, is not hospitalized and is self-isolating per Public Health guidelines.

Public Health has conducted a case investigation and contacted all who were near the person in the last 14 days. And on Monday, June 1, Public Health announced five more confirmed COVID-19 cases.

Three of the cases had close

contact with an individual confirmed to have COVID-19. One case is from community spread that was incorrectly assigned to another county and has been updated to reflect being in Lincoln County. The 5th case is also a result of community spread. This brings to current case count to 15 confirmed and one presumptive – which will show on the Oregon Health Authority website as 16 cases.

This marks the first time an outbreak has been assigned for COVID-19 in Lincoln County, which means several cases are linked to one event. The individuals all attended the same family gathering as the juvenile confirmed positive case last week.

Although Phase 1 permits gatherings of up to 25 people, individuals must be able to physically distance and wear face coverings to prevent the spread. Public Health

continues to perform contact tracing for the outbreak and for the new cases.

“With graduation parties, backyard barbecues and other family outings planned, we need to remember that the best way to prevent the spread is to physically distance, protect others and keep clean,” said Nicole Fields, Deputy Director of Public Health.

“We all want to be with our friends and families, but we also need to protect them. When we are unable to be at least 6 feet apart, it is important to wear a face covering, if possible, to protect the ones around you. Even though we are in Phase 1 reopening and the stores, restaurants and hotels are reopening, it doesn’t mean the virus has left. Now it is more important than ever to do our part to Keep Lincoln County Open.”

Governor Kate Brown’s Executive orders and guidance for

the public are still in place, even though Lincoln County entered Phase 1 reopening.

“We don’t know what Phase 2 may look like, or if we will be able to enter Phase 2 on June 4, which is the earliest we could apply,” said Susan Trachsel, Public Information Officer.

The confirmed case details are: - Person between the ages of 11 and 19, not hospitalized, part of the family gathering outbreak.

- Person between the ages of 0 and 9, not hospitalized, part of the family gathering outbreak.

- Person in their 30s, not hospitalized, part of the family gathering outbreak. This was a presumptive positive case, now confirmed.

- Person in their 30s, not hospitalized, community spread.

- Person in their 40s, not hospitalized, community spread. This person was incorrectly assigned to another county and a data cor-

rection placed the case in Lincoln County In addition to the confirmed cases, there is a new presumptive positive case that is not part of the family gathering outbreak. This person has symptoms and had close contact with a confirmed positive case so is noted as “presumptive positive” until the test results come back.

“We understand that not seeing your family and friends can feel extremely challenging, especially in a time of crisis like this when you may normally rely on them for support,” said Fields.

“If you do choose to see family and friends in person, it is critically important for us all to take precautions. Remember the basics and keep 6 feet of distance, wear a mask, wash your hands often, and try not to touch your face.”

Failed robbery in Otis leads to attempted murder charges THE NEWS GUARD

On May 19, at about 10 p.m., three Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) deputies and a Lincoln City Police Officer were in the Otis area investigating a disturbance call.

While at the scene, deputies and officer heard what sounded like gunshots coming from the area of North Fawn Drive. Two units left the disturbance call and began investigating the shots they had just heard.

Three minutes later, WVCC Dispatch received a 911 call from a resident near the shooting location.

The 911 caller reported a subject came to his door saying he had been shot.

LCSO Deputies went to the location where the shots were reported and began investigating the incident; however, they could not immediately locate the victim.

A LCSO K9 team was called to the scene to assist in finding the still-unknown

Nelson Leonard Jackson victim. An LCSO deputy and K9 Nix located the victim in the yard of a nearby property. The victim had not sustained life-threatening injuries.

The Lincoln County Major Crime Team was activated to continue the investigation. The Major Crime Team consists of members from the LCSO, Lincoln City Police Department, Newport Police Department, Toledo Police Department, Oregon State Police, Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office and Federal Bureau of

Investigation.

Investigators determined the incident had been a failed robbery attempt that escalated to the point of gunshots being fired at the victim. A search warrant was executed at a residence on North Fawn Drive, which yielded a firearm and other evidence of the firearm having been discharged during the robbery attempt. Three suspects were taken into custody in connection with the incident.

On May 28, a Lincoln County Grand Jury indicted Nelson Leonard Jackson, 35, of Otis, for Attempted Murder in the Second Degree with a Firearm, Robbery in the First Degree with a Firearm (x3), Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Robbery in the First Degree with a Firearm, Robbery in the Second Degree with a Firearm, Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Robbery in the Second Degree, Robbery in the Third Degree, Criminal Conspiracy to Com-

Jackson is currently lodged at Lincoln County Jail with bail set at $500,000.

Also indicted was Glenn Lavaughn Thompson, 31, of Otis, on charges of Attempted Murder in the Second

Degree with a Firearm, Robbery in the First Degree with a Firearm (x3), Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Robbery in the First Degree with a Firearm, Robbery in the Second Degree with a Firearm, Robbery in the Second Degree, Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Robbery in the Second Degree, Robbery in the Third Degree, Criminal Conspiracy to Commit Robbery in the Third Degree, Felon in Possession of a Firearm, Unlawful Use of a Weapon with a Firearm, Attempted Assault in the First Degree with a Firearm, Attempted Assault in the Second Degree with a Firearm (x3), Attempted Assault in the Third Degree (x4) and Menacing.

Thompson is also lodged at Lincoln County Jail with bail set at $500,000.

Health Matters

by Samaritan Health Services

Putting off medical visits? Get the care you need, when you need it In keeping with state guidelines, Samaritan Health Services has resumed many nonurgent surgeries, procedures and clinic visits.

“While strict infection-prevention measures have always been the standard in our facilities, some practices have been enhanced per state and federal COVID-19 recommendations,” said Lesley Ogden, MD, CEO of Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital and Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital.

“We want to make sure you know that if you need health care, we are here for you. It is important not to delay needed care.”

If you need care, calling your care provider should be your first step so your current health concerns and health history can be assessed, and the most appropriate kind of care offered. This may be telehealth in the comfort of your own home, or an in-person visit at the doctor’s office.

“If an in-person visit is the best option, we want you to know about the many precautions we take to ensure our facilities are safe and clean,” said Dr. Ogden.

Those precautions include: Visitor restrictions. Visitor restrictions reduce traffic within all Samaritan facilities.

Screening precautions. All who enter are subject to screenings for cold and flu-like symptoms. This also includes checking visitors’ temperatures.

Patients are also screened in advance during appointment reminder calls.

Limited in-person appointments. Samaritan clinics offer telehealth visits by video or phone whenever possible. This saves in-person visits for those who really need them and further minimizes traffic in Samaritan facilities.

Deep cleaning and disinfecting. Exam rooms are thoroughly cleaned between each patient, and common areas and high-touch surfaces are cleaned many times each day.

Keeping physical distance. Samaritan has arranged lobbies and other common areas to encourage physical distancing. Appointment check-in processes have also been modified.

Covering up. Patients and visitors are asked to bring and wear a mask or face covering (cloth mask, bandanna, scarf) when entering any Samaritan facility. Samaritan does not require face coverings for children under the age of 2, or anyone who has trouble breathing, is unconscious, incapacitated or otherwise unable to remove the

mask without assistance. All staff members are required to wear masks and additional necessary protective equipment per Samaritan policy.

Separating patients who might have COVID-19.

Samaritan is sending patients with COVID-19 symptoms to specific clinic spaces if they need to be seen in person. These areas are separated from other patients. The emergency departments also have rooms designated for treating COVID-19.

“If you have cold or flu-like symptoms or you think you may have COVID-19, contact your primary care provider or if the need is urgent, call the nearest urgent care or emergency department first, if at all possible,” said Dr. Ogden. “By calling first, you are allowing us to direct you to the most appropriate care and prepare for your arrival.”

If you don’t have a primary care provider, call 800-863-5241 for help finding a provider.

Learn more about COVID-19 at samhealth.org/Coronavirus.

Focus on what you can control as our communities reopen As the region resumes some normal activities, you may feel relief and anxiety. Certainly, the lure of a familiar lifestyle is inviting, but the coronavirus is still active.

Bella Vasoya, PsyD, clinical psychologist with Samaritan Health Services, offers some ways to ease the transition.

Control what you can “People are feeling anxiety right now, which stems from feeling a lack of control,” said Dr. Vasoya.

“When patients express their fears, I ask them to take a step back and ask themselves, what part of the equation can you control, then focus on that.

“For example, we can choose to wear a mask or wash our hands. We can choose to go inside the store or to have items delivered. We have control over these small, but effective decisions which help us take care of ourselves and families. With some control, we feel more at ease,” she said.

Feel emotions and let them go Uncertainty and stress can prompt heightened emotions. While emotions are valuable, we don’t have to be controlled by them, said Dr. Vasoya.

“Emotions last only 90 seconds. What keeps emotions lingering are the stories we tell ourselves about them,” she said. “When strong feelings arise, say them out loud and recognize them. Do not try to fix or change them, simply notice what is happening free of judgment. The feeling will pass.”

Practicing relaxation techniques can help us be better prepared to modulate emotions, she added.

While this is normal, it may not as a way of saying, I see you,” Dr. Vasoya said. be helpful.

“Think of ways you can communicate clearly without using the cues we’re used to.”

To keep from imagining the future, Dr. Vasoya recommends the five senses grounding technique.

Touch an object and focus on what it feels like.

Describe the texture, weight and shape. Try to notice every detail as if you were going to describe it to someone. Then move through your other senses — sight, sound, smell and taste — being mindful of each detail in the objects you choose.

“The act of engaging your senses takes you out of anxiety and brings you back to the present,” she said.

Ask for clarity in discussions In our transition back to a more normal society we will take new behaviors with us, such as wearing face masks in public.

This practice requires new ways of communicating, said Dr. Vasoya.

“We are used to relying on visual cues as we talk, such as a smile or a grimace, to enhance what we are saying,” she said. “When wearing face masks, it’s harder to read people. As a result, we may need to be more verbal than usual, especially in situations where we may feel vulnerable, such as a medical appointment.

Community update on new hospitals in Lincoln County Emergency access relocates

Demolition done, parking lot has begun

Construction on Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital’s new main parking lot is moving along quickly, which means the temporary driveway to the Emergency Department had to be relocated.

Emergency patients, women in active labor, ambulances and other emergency vehicles only may use the one-way driveway, located off of West Devils Lake Road, just north of 28th Street.

Everyone else entering the hospital may park and walk in through the temporary hospital entrance located at the south end of the building, off 28th Street. Security personnel are available 24/7 at key locations to answer questions and assist with directions.

The Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital project is in its final phase: construction of the new main parking area. This will provide 340 parking spaces for visitors and staff conveniently located along the west façade of the multi-level hospital. Much of the exterior brick, concrete and masonry from the old hospital building is being recycled and reused — huge piles of concrete rubble that had been picked clean of rebar and other debris were crushed and used to build up the grade for the new parking lot. As part of campus improvements, a beautiful new healing garden is also being planned.

Visit samhealth.org/NewHospitalLincolnCity or samhealth.org/NewHospitalNewport to follow the progress of the two Samaritan hospital projects in Lincoln County.

The apprehension of these uncertain times affects us all. Like you, staff at Samaritan Health Services are concerned about keeping our patients and communities safe and are doing everything we can to “control what we can control” as we reopen our hospitals and clinics to non-emergent surgeries and procedures. We are restricting visitors, limiting in-person appointments, stepping up screening procedures for those who enter our facilities and are separating those with COVID-19 symptoms from other patients. Additionally, we are using enhanced disinfection practices and requiring physical distancing and face coverings.

Guest Column: Make Facebook and Google pay for local news, just like you

BY DEAN RIDINGS CEO, America’s Newspapers

If you are a newspaper subscriber or you pick up a copy at a local retailer, you pay for the news and information you receive in your paper’s print edition or digital outlets.

But it may surprise you to learn that the multi-billion-dollar digital behemoths Facebook and Google don’t pay for the enormous amounts of news content they scoop up from newspapers every second. Facebook doles out a little bit of money through grants and funds to a few publishers — and Google provides some small grants through its News Initiative. While these are positive steps, they in no way make up for the use of the news content they are using for free.

Newspapers’ original reporting, especially on the community news and information that only local papers can provide, drive traffic to Facebook and Google, keeping people on their sites longer and attracting advertisers.

And news is a rich source of revenue for the Big Tech platforms. A 2019 study conducted by the News

Media Alliance concluded that news publishers’ content makes up 16-39% of Google’s search results, which goes largely uncompensated.

That figure doesn’t include the more intangible benefits that news content, and the data that comes with it, provide the search giant, such as using it for new product development.

The irony is that the news and content that newspapers pay journalists to provide is used by Google and Facebook to steadily drive advertising revenue away from newspapers, and into their coffers.

The two digital giants now gobble up 60% of all online advertising in the United States — an amount certain to increase with the cratering of newspaper ad revenue caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Facebook and Google don’t have reporters or the associated expense. They rely on small and large newspapers to feed their search results.

Here’s why this patently unfair situation should concern you and your community: It now threatens the existence of some local newspapers, the source of news and information that underpins democracy

and civic life itself.

It’s long past time for Google and Facebook to do what newspapers and their subscribers do: Pay for the local news that benefits them so richly.

There are ways for that to happen. Ideally, Google and Facebook would take the responsibility and voluntarily propose a method to share revenue with newspapers and other news organizations. They already pay licensing fees to music publishers, for instance.

Realistically, though, the two behemoths will have to be forced to a solution. America’s Newspapers, an association of some 1,500 newspapers including many operated by families for multiple generations, along with the News Media Alliance and other media associations have urged Congress to pass the Journalism Competition and Preservation Act, allowing newspaper publishers as a group to negotiate rates with Big Tech.

Other nations around the world have taken notice of the ill effect the market dominance of Google and Facebook has on the viability of independent journalism. Australia

is now developing a code that would require Google and Facebook to compensate news organizations when their content is used in the digital giants’ news products. Similarly, France just ordered Google to negotiate with news publishers over pay for news content.

This public health crisis has demonstrated the importance of the reporting of local newspapers, even as it has wreaked economic havoc on them, forcing layoffs and even silencing printing presses on some days. Requiring Google and Facebook to pay their fair share for news would go a long way to restoring the long-term health of your local newspaper.

On behalf of its approximately 1,500 newspaper and associate member companies, America’s Newspapers is committed to explaining, defending and advancing the vital role of newspapers in democracy and civil life. We put an emphasis on educating the public on all the ways newspapers contribute to building a community identity and the success of local businesses. Learn more: www. newspapers.org

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY Short-term rental issues The almighty dollar continues to reign in Lincoln City as far as some vacation rental management companies are concerned.

Due to the COVID-19 virus, emergency mandates created together by the county and city under the auspices of the state, clearly state short-term rentals are not to be occupied unless it is for 30 days or longer until May 31, 2020.

At least one management company refuses to refund customer rental deposits, citing if the house wasn’t used when previously agreed upon, they had until the end of the year to use the credit because no refunds would be given. That means many had to keep their reservation or lose hundreds to thousands of dollars. If they complained publicly about anything, they found they could be sued under their rental agreement which few people read.

By allowing tourists from locations that have a high numbers of cases of coronavirus, our citizens in residential neighborhoods are being placed at a higher risk for contracting the virus. These management companies display their business placards on the rental houses they manage and continue to rent. The task force responsible for monitoring short-term rentals under these mandates examined motels and hotels, but when neighbors contacted them to report tourists staying in VRDs, the neighbors were ignored.

It is unfortunate the elected officials that created these protective mandates are being skewered with a lack of respect and integrity by some irresponsible management companies and home owners just for that almighty dollar.

Tree Connection

There is an effort afloat in Lincoln County to bring trees to our neighborhoods.

Trees not only provide aesthetics, shade, oxygen, water retention and wildlife they also are the most efficient sequesters of carbon from our atmosphere which is polluted by too much CO2 due to the burning of fossil fuels. Even if our energy consumption switched to all renewables today the CO2 put into the air for the last hundred year would still remain there for generations unless it is drawn down (sequestered) and put back in the earth from where it came. Nothing does that better than trees.

A project called the Tree Connection under the auspices of 350 Oregon Central Coast and the Citizens Climate Lobby is now being formed and looking for volunteers and folks already engaged in tree planting for this family friendly activity to organize a coalition of willing entities to help identify potential sites, donors, tree planters and stewards.

Trees will be planted on an annual basis in the Fall and Spring with the goal of making Lincoln County a Tree County. For more information please contact Bill Kucha at 541-7652451 or June O’Connor at 541-563-6062.

the requirement stating: “For Hotels, Motels and Vacation Rental Dwellings (VRD), when a guest(s) check out of a room that room must remain vacant of guest(s) and housekeeping staff for a 24 hour period.

Once this 24-hour period has passed then housekeeping, staff are able to enter the room to clean according to the housekeeping requirements listed in Exhibit A of County Order 5-20-136.

Once housekeeping has finished, the room can then be rented again.”

Visit www.lincolncity. org to access County Order 5-20-136 and lodging industry-reopening information.

The Council then discussed possible ways to make sure businesses and owners are following

Vet

From page A1 Amidst the small gathering were familiar faces such as Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson, Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce Lori Arce-Torres,

these new requirements.

Councilor Riley Hoagland was hoping they’d be able to develop a way employees can make complaints safely and discreetly.

“A lot of (employees) are fearful. They don’t want to speak up and maybe lose their job,” Hoagland said.

“I want to see somehow, we as the city, step up our enforcement.” Hoagland suggested putting out an info-graphic on city social media for employees to understand the process of making complaints for STR owners. Lincoln City Police Chief Jerry Palmer suggested putting OSHA’s phone number on worker guideline flyers to provide the resource to make safety complaints easily, if needed.

The council approved the motion to send out such educational information.

The council then dove deeper into enforcement of safety violations for STR owners. City Attorney Richard Appicello detailed some of the penalties at the state level, public health level and City level that can be administered.

Violation of the Governor’s orders can result in a Class C Misdemeanor.

OHA requirements violations can result in an investigation.

City code is a Class A violation with a $2,000 fine for each offense, for any violation of the county’s STR order.

Chief Palmer noted that enforcement has its challenges, as they learned during the reopening of Chinook Winds Casino Resort last week, which resulted in numerous calls to the LCPD.

“The challenge from the law enforcement perspective… we have to have a date, a time and place for probable cause,” Palmer said. “If we have to cite, then we have to decide who to issue the citation. There’s a lot of moving parts to this to decide who gets the citation. Hopefully it won’t come to that.”

Palmer noted that any violation complaints should be made to police nonemergency line.

Discussion then turned to the topic of face coverings for the general public.

Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Ken Murphy spoke to the City Council about whether businesses should be requiring face coverings. Murphy said the CDC has been recommended wearing masks from the very beginning stages and

that legally, business can require customers to wear masks.

Several City Councilors said they would be supportive of a city ordinance requiring masks in public spaces.

“If we can, we should make it mandatory,” Councilor Diana Hinton said. “I worry about our residents.

We have, as a county, been very good about keeping distance and wearing masks. I’ve notice that as more people come in to town… there’s no social distancing, not even mask wearing. June 1 we will be seeing a lot more people here. We have to protect both our residents and visitors.”

Councilor Rick Mark said he’d also support a facecovering rule and suggested creating more signage at city

entry points that encouraged visitors to wear their face coverings.

“I’d like to see a message like, if you’re coming to Lincoln City, bring your masks and we expect you to wear them,” Mark said.

Although supportive of the ideas, Mayor Anderson said there would be many challenges with a required face-covering ordinance.

“The enforcement issue has to be mindboggling. I’m a big fan of creating signage and education, but I have a problem with creating an ordinance that we cannot enforce,” Anderson said.

The conversation was then tabled, and Anderson earlier noted the County Commissioners would be discussing face-coverings at their upcoming meeting.

members of the Knottworks Construction crew, which will be managing the new build, and a few furry friends.

“We are so honored to have such wonderful support in the community that

we love and we promise that we will have a huge party for the grand opening celebration next year when the clinic is built,” Malter said.

“In the meantime, we are so excited to watch Knottworks Construction bring our

dream to life!”

The old building is scheduled to come down this week and Oceanlake hopes to be up and running in the new building by March, 2021, barring any unexpected setbacks. Malter

said they will continue to post any updates they have along the way on the Oceanlake Veterinary Clinic Facebook page.

“We are excited to move forward on this project and are also excited to share

this news with the community,” Malter said. “We think everyone could use some positive news during this otherwise stressful time!”

Oceanlake Elementary receives $2,499,090 grant for seismic retrofit THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln County School District announced this week that Oceanlake Elementary was the recipient of Oregon State’s Seismic Retrofits and Improvement Grant.

Oceanlake Elementary is one of the 35 schools and emergency service buildings to receive Seismic Retrofits and Improvements Grants through this year’s Oregon State Grant Program. As the fifth school in Lincoln County School District to receive these funds, Ocean-

lake Elementary will be receiving $2,499,090 for Seismic Retrofits and Improvements.

Lincoln County School District Schools have received over $9.5 million in Seismic Retrofit and Improvement Grant awards in the past six years: Toledo

High School (2014), Newport High School (2016), Sam Case (2016) and Taft Elementary School (2019).

“During these projects, ZCS Engineering has done a very professional job as our contracted architect and we are excited to work with them again on the Ocean-

lake project,” LCSD Administators said. “DSL Builders has been our General Contractor for the first four projects. DSL has provided us with quality, on time professional services in their work for our district; they will be invited along with other contractors to bid on

the Oceanlake Elementary Seismic Retrofit and Improvement project to begin in school year 2020-2021.

“We are both proud and very grateful to be the recipient of Oregon State Grant Program’s funding to provide such critical needs in our facilities.”

Oregon Coast Online Art Show celebrates 157 artists THE NEWS GUARD

The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts presents the “Oregon Coast Online Art Show” from May 29 to September 7 on the www. coastarts.org website.

Organized in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show was developed as most galleries and art spaces are shuttered and artists are unable to present their work to a viewing public.

The Oregon Coast Online Art Show currently includes the work of 157 contributing artists, exhibiting painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media and wearable art works.

The Oregon Coast Online Art Show is open to all artists living on the Oregon Coast, artists who have shown their work at the Newport Visual Arts Center in the past or current members of the Oregon Coast Council for the Arts.

“This show is a substantial representation of artists living on the Oregon coast

or who have shown their work here,” said Tom Webb, OCCA’s director for the Newport Visual Arts Center.

“We have come together remotely to present a rich assortment of visual media for the public to enjoy and consider bringing home.”

The Oregon Coast Online Art Show is both a benefit for the participating artists and the OCCA. All works are for sale and transactions will be handled through OCCA. The Oregon Coast Online Art Show was organized remotely. Following a call for submissions, artists emailed photographs of their work and accompanying information to OCCA, which then created on online gallery space. Artists are limited to one artwork per person, though they may post an additional work if one sells.

Coastal art associations, such as the Pelican Bay Art Association and the Nestucca Valley Artisans, helped spread the word. Past VAC

The 157 show participants represent 56 different towns and six U.S. states. Newport artists provided 26 submissions, the most of any one town, followed by Portland at 17. exhibition partners, such as the Sandgren PaintOut Project, the Watercolor Society of Oregon and the Blackfish Gallery, shared the call with their members. Coastal media outlets and KLCC radio presented the exhibit opportunity to readers and

listeners across the state.

“The Visual Art Center in Newport has truly stepped up to the plate to help artists to continue to receive exposure and sales of their work,” said Sandy Roumagoux, a noted oil painter and former mayor of New-

port. “This kind of innovation is truly appreciated.”

The 157 show participants represent 56 different towns and six U.S. states.

Newport artists provided 26 submissions, the most of any one town, followed by Portland at 17. The Oregon Coast itself is represented by 101 artists, from nearly every town and hamlet on the map from Brookings to Astoria. Noted Oregon artists such as Roumagoux, Darren Orange of Astoria, Erik Sandgren of Portland, Henk Pander of Portland and Bets Cole of Elmira, among many others, contributed artwork “Thank you for this opportunity to show in the online gallery. It is so important for artists to have an audience and the Newport Arts Center and Oregon Coast Council for the Arts are doing just that,” said contributing painter Bets Cole. “I am always fascinated by the variety of works that emerge from an area, so personal yet so connected.

It will be a visual feast!”

The Oregon Coast Online Art Show will continue to accept submissions on a rolling basis through July 20. (Artists should email twebb@coastarts.org for show guidelines.) Art enthusiasts are encouraged to return frequently to the online gallery to review new work.

The show is also being promoted through the Lincoln County School District as a summer distance-learning opportunity. Various online artist talks and gatherings are being scheduled.

In addition to the visual art, Randy McCoy, a singersongwriter based in Yachats, shared his new original song and music video, “Our Time Alone Will Bring Us Together,” for gallery visitors to listen to while scrolling through the artwork.

The Oregon Coast Council for the Arts manages the Newport Visual Arts Center and the Newport Performing Arts Center, and serves as the regional arts council for Oregon’s seven coastal counties.
