Local woman finds passion in remodeling business MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

“If you can’t figure out your purpose, figure out your passion. For your passion will lead you right into your purpose.” The words of pastor and author Bishop T.D. Jakes somewhat encapsulate the journey of local businesswoman Tammie Weisgram.

Prior to moving to Lincoln City about three years ago, Weisgram lived in the Columbia River Gorge area in a small town called Corbett. She graduated from Corbett high school in 2000 as the Valedictorian and went to college before getting her real estate license at 21.

She later gave birth to her son Dylan and continued to work her office job on a daily basis. As a former all-star athlete in high

“I ended up at about 300 pounds.”

As is the case with most people battling weight issues, Weisgram said she came to a realization one afternoon that something needed to change.

“I had my son by that point and I kind of just had this moment, this very sad moment sitting there in this overstuffed recliner chair and like I took up every inch of it and I was like ‘what has happened to me,’” Weisgram said. “I literally looked at my son on the ground and thought, ‘I should be on the ground playing with him.’ So that very moment, I went and grabbed my tennis shoes, I threw him in the stroller and we started walking.”

Weisgram said it started off slow, walking twice a day, then it led to biking, then jogging and then she began eating better and after a while she started seeing major results.

Backpacks for Kids set to begin peanut butter drive in August MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

According to 2018 data, Lincoln County has one of the highest rates of poverty in the state at 23.9 percent and one in four children in the county experience food insecurity. But the Backpacks for Kids program is hoping to change that.

We have been feeding North Lincoln County students since 2007 and our mission is simple: ‘Nourishing the body that nourishes the mind,’” Pat Robertson, founder of Backpacks for Kids said.

Each week during the school year, Backpacks for Kids sends over 300 backpacks home with Lincoln City students filled with food for the weekend. The food varies and can include things like mac and cheese, cereal, soup, juice, bread, apples, granola, fruit bars, tuna fish, refried beans, chili and peanut butter and jelly.

During the month of August,

Backpacks for Kids will be focused on Peanut Butter and they’ve already begun collecting jars for the

upcoming school year.

“Every school year, Backpack for Kids gives out more than 2,700

jars of peanut butter to school children at risk of going hungry,” Nancy Oksenholt, collection orga-

nizer said. “This August, Backpacks for Kids hopes (everyone) will help us collect those 2,700 jars of peanut butter so we’re ready for the 2019-2020 school year. Help us fight childhood hunger one jar of peanut butter at a time.”

Numerous banks across Lincoln City have partnered with Backpacks for Kids during this year’s peanut butter drive and have placed collection containers in their branches that are open to anyone who is looking to donate.

Participating banks include Bank of the West, Columbia Bank, First Interstate, Oregon Coast Bank, Oregon State Credit Union, TLC Credit Union, US Bank and Washington Federal.

The drive will last the duration of the month as Backpacks for Kids prepares for the 2019-20 school year.

“Bring to your bank a small jar of peanut butter and help your bank become the winner of the most jars of peanut butter,” Robertson said.

CERT members make sure Oceanlake School is emergency ready THE NEWS GUARD

Many individuals in the Lincoln City community do not know much about the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) and the many activities it members participate in each year.

CERT members are usually present at Preparedness Fairs in Lincoln City and Newport, provide traffic management for the Lincoln City Half-Marathon and distribute helpful safety and emergency information at the Senior Fair held at Chinook Winds in October.

They undergo a nine-week course that covers many topics including home safety, sheltering in place, food and water storage, Search and Rescue, general first aid, AED and CPR.

Vehicle strikes child in Lincoln County THE NEWS GUARD

On July 29, at approximately 11:15 a.m. the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office along with Siletz Valley Fire and medics with Pacific West Ambulance responded to Mooshine Park, 3870 Moonshine Park Road in Logsden, on a report of a truck pulling a camp trailer that struck a young child.

The initial report indicated the child had sustained injuries. (This location is public campground operated by the Lincoln County Parks).

During First Responders efforts, Life Flight

was requested due to the unknown injuries and the remote location.

The investigation revealed a 2-year-old female was playing with friends at designated campsite when she quickly ‘darted’ into the access road at the same time a truck pulling a travel trailer passed the campsite. The truck was driven by Richard Jans, 65, of Philomath, at speeds near or below five miles per hour.

Jans stated he did not see the child. It was reported by several witnesses that the child ran into the side of the truck and went under

the front right tire. Jans heard the witnesses yelling and stopped the truck before the back tire ran over the child.

The child was flown to Good Samaritan Hospital in Corvallis, and was reported to be in stable condition with injuries to her leg. The injuries are not considered life threatening at this time.

Jans fully cooperated with the investigation and no criminal charges are being sought.

LCSD welcomes newly elected Board Director for Otis, Lincoln City areas MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

The Lincoln County School District has a newly elected Board Director for Zone 1, Megan Cawley, who replaced interim Director, Dave Price.

Her term began this month and her first board session was on July 16 at the Newport High School. Her term expires on June 30, 2023.

In her application to become a Board of Director for the Lincoln County School District she explained why she was seeking this appointment.

“I grew up in Lincoln County,

graduated from Taft High School, and moved back after a decade away to raise my family here,” Cawley said. “I spent ten years caring for children and families from all over Oregon as a nurse at Doernbecher Children’s Hospital in Portland and I continue to care for children and families in Lincoln County as a director on the North Lincoln County Health District, a volunteer on the board of Family Promise and as a nursing instructor at Oregon Coast Community College.”

“Improving the lives and opportunities of children and families has been the primary focus of my career and I would love to

continue this work as a member of the Lincoln County School District Board.”

Cawley said before seeing this vacancy, she had already intended to run for the position when it next became available.

“As a nurse, I care deeply for the health, safety, and quality of life of our county and as a teacher, I know that equal opportunity to quality public education can and does improve lives and communities,” Cawley said. “I love this community and I love living here.

I grew up here and am familiar with the unique strengths and challenges of our large, rural, coastal communities.”

The LCSD said they are thrilled to have Cawley representing Zone 1 as an elected school board member. It is a big undertaking according to the LCSD, and they feel Cawley has many skills that will be an advantage as they develop their new five-year strategic plan among other projects that are currently underway.

“I want to do my part to ensure all of our students have access to every available resource and tool to help them meet achievement goals, reach their full potentials and live healthy, successful lives,” Cawley said.

Trump proposal looks to close ‘loophole’ in food stamp eligibility, Sen. Merkley to fight it THE NEWS GUARD

The Trump administration is looking to tighten up automatic eligibility requirements for the food stamp program nationwide, which could ultimately cut off an estimated three million Americans from those benefits.

The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps or SNAP, currently has an automatic enrollment in the program for families who receive welfare benefits. The new proposal would effectively eliminate that enrollment process. The U.S. Department of Agriculture said there are 3.1 million people who are currently eligible for food stamps because of this link. Policy experts said the proposal is likely to increase food insecurity among needy families.

Oregon’s Senator Jeff Merkley, the top Democrat on the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcom-

mittee, almost immediately voiced their disapproval for this proposal that would affect nearly 60,000 Oregonians.

“Imagine going without dinner so your son or daughter can eat, or cutting out any fruits and vegetables because they’re too expensive,” Merkley said. “Thanks to the Trump administration, three million Americans will face those kinds of awful choices instead of imagining them.

This proposal will literally take food off the tables of children, working families, seniors and people with disabilities.”

The rule would erase what U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue calls a ‘loophole’ in welfare benefits. Closing this ‘loophole’ would cut food-stamp spending by $2.5 billion per year, the Reuters news agency reported.

“For too long, this loophole has been used to effectively bypass impor-

tant eligibility guidelines,” Perdue said in a statement.

“Too often, states have misused this flexibility without restraint.”

Merkley and other policy experts argue that the proposal it will increase food insecurity among poor families and add to states’ administrative costs.

“Less than two years ago, President Trump gave $2 trillion to the wealthiest individuals and most powerful corporations in this country—and now he’s

telling Americans that we’re going to take food out of children’s mouths to save money?” Merkley said.

“That’s not credible and not acceptable. In the wealthiest country on earth, we can afford to make sure that no child goes to bed hungry at night.

“I will keep fighting with everything I have to push back on destructive decisions like these and to make sure that every family in America can keep food on their tables each day.”

The rule, published in the Federal Register July 24,

is open for public comment for 60 days.

Suzy’s Spotlight: Humanitarians among us SUZY NELSON

This is a new column by Suzy Nelson, a local writer, who will be putting the spotlight on kind, caring individuals in our community. The first of this series is Rita Kartalyan, Real Estate Agent/Broker with Taylor and Taylor Realty in Lincoln City.

Why is she on my humanitarian list? She is humble, came to the

USA with her younger sister when she was eleven and she and her sister didn’t know any English. Her family is Armenian and hard working.

I found her personally to care greatly about her prospective clients.

In this era of many people not caring about others, Rita stands out in the crowd. “I am who I am

because of my dad”, says Rita. She learned English well enough to be on the honor roll every year with perfect attendance also. She was studying pre-med when she switched her career goals even though she got straight A’s.

Rita worked briefly as a clerk/ typist but within three years she was handling 12,000,000 million dollars in wire transfers to clients in a fi-

nancial institution. With no knowledge of bookkeeping, she became a full charge bookkeeper in her third company where she worked.

One of her bosses wrote a referral saying Rita was “one of the old school types . . .who puts in an honest day’s work.”

Good going, Rita

Lincoln County searches for volunteer firefighters NORTH LINCOLN FIRE & RESCUE

North Lincoln Fire & Rescue will be hosting a countywide volunteer recruit academy and is on the hunt for good volunteers to fill the fall Fire Academy starting in September.

North Lincoln Fire & Rescue is fortunate we have approximately 30 volunteer firefighters and a strong volunteer Support Team of 16 people, but we are experiencing a national trend that has been growing since the early 1980’s! In the last two decades, we’ve lost nearly two-thirds of our volunteers, and the call volume has nearly tripled in that same amount of time.

Blame it on the changes in society: two-income households, year-round youth sports, chain stores that won’t release workers at midday to jump on a fire truck.

Also, a lot of people don’t even

know the district is mostly volunteer, only the very biggest cities have all paid fire departments.

(Smaller communities) really rely on volunteers to be there. They are such an important part of our nation’s fire service.

Volunteerism Can Pay-Off It appears younger generations are not as interested in volunteer fire service; stating time constraints and money concerns, for the reason. The reality is, it is the fastest way to get a free education to be a paid member in the Fire Service; departments look at years of experience before considering an individual for hire.

Volunteer firefighters make up the overwhelming majority of firefighters in Lincoln County, but their ranks are steadily declining; in part because perhaps many individuals do not know the benefits

of being a volunteer firefighter, or that it is the pathway to a fulltime career.

Plus, there are many other benefits: - Paid stipend shifts for on-call volunteers in stations - Free Training, as well as, Statewide and National certification - Opportunities for special team training such as Water Rescue Team training, Confined Space training and EMS advancement and training - Free ambulance coverage for yourself and family - Free membership at our Community Center - LOSAP (Length of Service Award Program) that puts $1,000’s aside each year of service.

- Five percent civil service bonus if want to be a paid firefighter “Currently we have only five

new members signed up for North Lincoln Fire and Rescue;” Division Chief, Jamie Mason stated. “In past classes we’ve had as many as 25-30 qualified individuals putting in applications.”

It not too late, get your applica-

tion in, start receiving benefits, train to be a firefighter and most importantly have the opportunity to serve your community.

Call 541-996-2233 to learn more and find out where you can pick-up an application.

Clarren’s 2018 novel, Kickdown, tells the story of two sisters’ struggle to save their family’s cattle ranch in rural Colorado, and was shortlisted for the PEN/Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction; the Washington Post called it, “an impressive debut.”

Remodeling From page A1 months, I went from 300 to 129,” Weisgram said. “That was all for my son, I wanted him to see a healthy normal lifestyle. I wanted him to grow up learning how to eat right and be active.”

Weisgram then became certified as a personal trainer and Zumba instructor. Not only was she looking to improve her body physically, but also she was looking to improve mentally as well.

“For me, I wasn’t very good at sharing my emotions and things that were hurting or bothering me and by doing so I was stuffing with like a lot of food and just things to comfort me instead of just getting out my problems,” Weisgram said.

At one point in time, Weisgram said she would begin journal writing since she didn’t feel comfortable sharing some of her personal feelings with other people. The therapeutic writing paid dividends and she began to improve her psyche.

However, there was still something missing for Weis-

gram, the passion for her career. And to find that, she decided to relocate.

Community Roots With the decision to leave her small town near the Gorge, Weisgram was then tasked with finding a new home. After some searching, the choice became obvious. She was going to move to Lincoln City.

“My father and grandparents lived down here and my dad actually graduated from Taft High School, so we decided to come back to what feels like kind of a second home,” Weisgram said.

With her love for small towns and the outdoors, Lincoln City seemed like the perfect fit for Tammie and Dylan. They enjoy riding quads, fishing, crabbing, kayaking and hiking, making the Oregon Coast an ideal location for their outdoorsy lifestyle.

“It’s beautiful, obviously and we’re super outdoorsy,” Weisgram said. “I just feel good raising my son in a place where when we go to the store, we know people and it’s always a good interaction.”

Weisgram continued her

Weisgram went from 300 lbs to 129 lbs in just over a year after struggling with her weight after high school. career in fitness by managing Snap Fitness in Lincoln City, but knew that she had not quite realized her calling.

Finding the passion Growing up, Weisgram admired her father and grandfather for their work as contractors. But Weisgram’s father encouraged her to

pursue other careers first.

“He kind of took me by the arm one day when I was really young, and said, ‘You are getting an education, you are not going to use your body to work like we do,’” Weisgram said. “But when I came here I just kind of put two and two together that contracting was what I was meant to be doing.”

Weisgram then began her very own company called Riptide Remodeling with partner Stuart McWiliams.

“I went and did the construction contractors board tests and did all the studying,” Weisgram said. “So I’m the responsible managing individual of the company and my partner Stuart, he does a lot more of the hands on type of things in the field, I do work in the field with him, but he’s definitely the muscle.”

The new business offers a little bit of everything.

From kitchen renovations, bathroom facelifts, deck remodeling, tile installation and much more. With a goal set at $150,000 for their inaugural year of business, Weisgram said Riptide Remodeling has already nearing $450,000 and it hasn’t even been a full calendar year.

Weisgram has focused her business to be primarily in the Lincoln City area since there is such a need here in town.

“Everybody down here on the coast seems to need it because the weather just beats everybody’s houses,”

Weisgram said. “Although we have a lot of really great new home building companies, not a lot of people want to touch dry rot and things like that so every time a customer calls me and I answer the phone, they thank me profusely just for answering the phone and being willing to help.”

Riptide Remodeling are currently in the process of signing contracts for a big project at the Best Western Hotel in Lincoln City and Weisgram said they are looking forward to that project. But the success they have found has largely come from their positive reviews thus far.

“We’ve done a lot of work in the Lincoln Beach area and there’s a couple of homeowner associated kind of places there and whenever we get a job in one of those places, everyone sees our work and they love it,” Weisgram said. “Before you know it, word travels around and we end up doing the whole neighborhood.”

at Regatta Park, I hear the normal sounds of boats, children laughing and the satisfying splash of paddles into water,” Dave Price, Rotary Past-President said.

“Best of all, though, was a new sound - the sound of music, coming down the hill and onto the water, from the Music in the Parks installation. I’m proud of Rotary for adding this new creative outlet for our community - and in such a spectacular setting.”

The OCMF is kicking off this event by introducing their program ‘Piano. Push.

Play,’ which is a project that temporarily installs grand pianos in five of Lincoln City’s public parks: Regatta Park, 51st St./Taft, Nelscott Deck, Community Center and the Public Plaza by Bob’s Books.

The Rotary Club of Lincoln City will be dedicating the new musical instru-

ments to the Lincoln City community, with support from the Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Board, LC Chamber of Commerce and Lincoln City City Council.

This event is open to the public and all are invited.

“The language of music is universal, and our city’s Regatta Park is such a lovely setting for Rotary-sponsored Music in the Park,” Estle Harlan, Rotary Executive Secretary said. “A universally appreciated medium in a local setting is very consistent with the objectives of Rotary. Not only do Rotarians think globally, they act locally!”

Music From page A1 which she saw a ‘musical instrument’ play area in a public park.

She thought ‘Music in the Parks’ would be a great fit for Lincoln City. The Rotary Club agreed with her, with the goal to make these musical instruments free and accessible to the community.

“Members of the Rotary Club of Lincoln City rec-

ognize the great benefit of music in all lives,” GibsonJenkins said. “With the ‘Music in the Parks’ project, our goal is to make musical instruments free and always accessible to both local residents and visitors. We hope they are played, respected and enjoyed for many, many years.”

Rotary members then pledged to raise funds for a musical instrument playground for Regatta Park.

The Parks and Recreation Department enthusiastically accepted their project proposal and the Rotary Club spent a year fundraising over $16,000 to purchase five musical instruments for Regatta Park.

The installation was done by local contractor Ray Clarke and his crew, in collaboration with Parks Maintenance. The project was completed last week and the new outdoor musi-

McEachern Audiology & Hearing Aid Center

cal instruments are ready for use, and are already a hit in the community.

“We sincerely thank the Rotary Club of Lincoln City for their innovation and support of our public parks and community,” Jeanne Sprague, Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Director said. “What an incredible playground to have in a park and what an amazing community partnership!”

To celebrate this community partnership and new park addition, the Rotary Club of Lincoln City and the LC Parks and Recreation Department will be hosting a ‘Music in the Parks’ dedication ceremony on Saturday, August 24 at noon in Regatta Park. This ceremony will be part of the Oregon Children’s Music Festival (OCMF), which is an all-day event at Regatta Park.

New legislation offers significant wildlife conservation opportunity THE NEWS GUARD

Two bills—one signed by the Oregon Governor earlier this month (HB 2829), and one recently introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives (HR 3742)—offer the most significant opportunities to fund fish and wildlife conservation in a century.

This year, the 2019 Oregon State Legislature passed HB 2829 to create the Oregon Conservation and Recreation Fund to conserve and manage Oregon’s fish, wildlife and their habitats.

The bill puts $1 million in General Fund aside, to be matched by $1 million in private funds raised by ODFW, as seed money towards an alternative, sustainable funding source. It also creates an Oregon Conservation and Recreation Advisory Committee to recommend how to spend monies from the Fund.

The 2019 bill was based on the recommendations of a Task Force created by the 2015 Oregon State Legislature that explored alternative funding for fish, wildlife and outdoor recreation. Among other uses, the new Fund will be used to implement the Oregon Conservation Strategy, a blueprint for conservation in Oregon that supports voluntary actions to conserve species and their vital habitats before they become more rare and costly to protect.

“In 2016, the Task Force for funding for Fish, Wildlife and Related Outdoor Recreation and Education conducted a survey of Oregonians,” Chair of the Task Force Mark Labhart said. “It was clear from the survey that Oregonians strongly value our state’s fish and

wildlife, including many people who don’t hunt and fish. Yet the majority of the funding for ODFW’s programs are funded by hunters and anglers.

“The Legislature agreed and HB 2829 gets us started and well on the way to implementing the Oregon Conservation Strategy.”

Another significant funding source on the horizon is the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (H.R. 3742), introduced on July 12 by Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) and Rep. Fortenberry (R-NE) and currently supported by 70 Members of Congress including Oregon Representatives Bonamici, Blumenauer, DeFazio and Schrader. The bill would dedicate approximately $1.3 billion annually to state fish and wildlife agencies and an additional $97.5 million for tribal fish and wildlife managers to implement science-based wildlife action plans like the Oregon Conservation Strategy, with funding coming from the general treasury.

“The Oregon Conservation and Recreation Fund will help ensure that future generations of Oregonians can continue to enjoy the incredible natural landscapes that are so central to our way of life,” said Representative Ken Helm (D-Washington County), who was one of the sponsors of HB 2829.

Apportionment of these dollars to the states would be based on population and land mass. ODFW estimates $23 million per year could be provided to implement the Oregon Conservation Strategy and connect more Oregonians to the outdoors.

This would represent an estimated 12 percent boost to ODFW’s current budget.

Funds from the Oregon Conservation and Recreation Fund could be used to leverage these potential new funds from the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.

ODFW estimates $23 million per year could be provided to implement the Oregon Conservation Strategy and connect more Oregonians to the outdoors.

In Oregon, these funds could immediately be used to support targeted investment in conservation activities that support endangered species recovery, like what Oregon did to help recover the Oregon chub. Funds could also be used to build a program to engage communities across the state in collecting observations of Oregon’s species where data is lacking, such as western pond turtle. It could also provide funds to ODFW’s conservation partners for voluntary habitat restoration across the state. Some of the species that would benefit from these funds include red abalone, nearshore rockfish species, Oregon spotted frog,

trumpeter swan, Townsend’s big-eared bat and white sturgeon among many others.

“The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would allow us to fully implement the Oregon Conservation Strategy and truly begin to address species conservation proactively instead of the reactive, emergency approach of the Endangered Species Act,” said ODFW Director Curt Melcher. “From my perspective, passing this bill could be the most significant moment in fish and wildlife conservation in the United States this century.”

As with all federal grants, some state match of federal funds would be required (HR 3742 requires a 25 percent

More about fish and wildlife conservation funding It was nearly 100 years ago that the Wildlife Restoration Act (aka PittmanRobertson) and the later Sport Fish Restoration Act (aka Dingell-Johnson) were passed by federal lawmakers. These laws permanently dedicated excise taxes from the sale of hunting and fishing equipment to the states to support fish and wildlife conservation. They are credited with helping restore elk, cougar, bighorn sheep, salmon, steelhead and interior redband trout, among other species in Oregon.

Funds from these excise taxes also helped purchase and maintain nearly 200,000 acres of land managed exclusively for wildlife habitat and recreation in Oregon (state Wildlife Areas such as Summer Lake and Sauvie Island).

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife receives very little state General Fund (less than 10 percent) or federal tax dollars, instead rely-

ing on hunting and license dollars, excise tax dollars, and other grants to fund the majority of the work.

This funding model cannot keep up with the challenges facing Oregon’s fish and wildlife from human population growth, development, drought, climate change and ocean acidification. Funds from Pittman-Robertson and Dingell-Johnson are also focused on species that can be hunted or fished for and limited in the types of conservation work they can cover. This leaves many of Oregon’s species of greatest conservation need without a dedicated funding source.

Oregon and other states across the country have participated in a multi-year effort to diversify the way they fund conservation in the United States. Their goal is to expand conservation efforts to proactively address the 21st century challenges that affect the diverse fish, wildlife, and habitats of the nation and connect more people with nature and the outdoors.

Golf Golfer aces the fourth at Chinook Winds, nets $5,300 On Friday, July 26 at approximately 12:18 p.m., Devlin Moeller of Milwaukie, Ore. hit the shot of his dreams on hole No. 4 at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

The Hole-in-One progressive started at $1,000 on May 1 with $50 added each day until some lucky, skilled golfer hit the hole in one on this seemingly ‘easy’ short hole. This short par-3 might seem easy, but it’s surrounded by a continuous bunker with a fast green to hit.

“We want to make golfing fun and on a short par-3 it gives most amateur golfers a great chance at hitting the big prize,” Lee Johnson, Director of Hotel and Golf Operations said.

The yardage on the fourth hole ranges from 90-117 yards

throughout the contest. Last Friday, Moeller dunked the ace with a Taylor Made RSI approach wedge from 96 yards while playing a Callaway golf ball.

His three golfing buddies and an on-course camera witnessed Devlin’s hole in one. The fun continues as the Hole-in-One progressive will restart at $1,000 as of Saturday, July 27 and will once again have $50 added each day until another lucky golfer hits the money shot.

“It’s my first hole in one ever,” Moeller said.

The Progressive Hole-in-One contest runs through Monday, Sept. 30 so get as many rounds in as possible to give yourself a better chance at that prize pool.
