Traffic safety has been a priority for the Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) the past few years. And now with $6,500 extra in grant funds to spend, the LCPD is upping their enforcement. The LCPD is working in partnership with Oregon Impact and recently announced they have been awarded three traffic safety grants for 2019-20. The grant funds totaling to $6,500 will be used in three categories: Enhanced DUII Enforcement, Distracted Driving Enforcement and Pedestrian Safety Enforcement. The Enhanced Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) Enforcement funds, in the amount of $2,500, will be utilized to put extra officers on patrol specifically to seek out drivers who are operating their vehicles while impaired and remove them from the roadways, stated the LCPD. “The enforcement operations will occur in conjunction with the National High Visibility Enforcement event time periods, which are designed to increase the number of patrol officers on the streets nationwide with an emphasis on seeking out drivers impaired by alcohol or drugs,” stated Sergeant Jeffrey Winn. DUII’s are the leading cause of motor vehicle crash deaths and

Lincoln City ‘Deck’s the Dock’ at Taft for the holiday season THE NEWS GUARD
Lincoln City’s newly renovated Taft Dock will anchor 51st Street with a holiday light display now through Jan. 5. “What you are seeing is Lincoln City beginning to extend its tourism season into December,” said Ed Dreistadt, Director of Explore Lincoln City. “We helped create two successful October programs with A Tour to Die For and Haunted Taft which have put us on the map for Halloween. Now it’s time to start to build experiences in December with Deck the Dock.” Deck the Dock gives Lincoln City an attraction highly visible from Highway 101. During the long winter nights, the dock will act as a beacon, inviting people driving into town to explore the historic Bayfront area, says Dreistadt.
The illuminated dock is the latest attraction that says Lincoln City is a vibrant, fun beach town. The lights on Taft Dock are also just the beginning of an ever-expanding array of winter holiday experiences. “Deck the Dock is a partnership between Lincoln City Parks & Recreation and Explore Lincoln City,” said Jeanne Sprague, Lincoln City Parks & Recreation Director. “We’re already brainstorming how to make it even bigger and better every year.” Lincoln City Parks is responsible for the Taft Dock as well as a significant amount of surrounding property along 51st Street. “We’re already talking about making the picnic pavilion and plaza into Santa’s Village, for example,” Sprague said. “Or create a

9-1-1 Dispatcher celebrates 15 years in Lincoln City MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
“The epitome of professionalism.” Those are the words Lincoln City Police Chief Jerry Palmer used to describe Dispatch Supervisor Paul Compton. Compton was recently recognized for 15 years of service in Lincoln City. He began his career as a Dispatcher during his service in the Marine Corps, and after completing his fouryear enlistment, he was hired to dispatch for LCPD in 2004. During his 15 years in the Dispatch Center, he has been a Dispatch Field Training Officer (FTO), and was appointed to Dispatch Lead in 2015. As Dispatch Lead, Compton became an integral part in maintaining the standards and requirements of the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center, as well as researching and updating the critical technology that is utilized in the Center. He was promoted to Dispatch Supervisor in 2018, and has been applying his expertise in planning the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center in the new police building. “Paul has become an indispensible member of our leadership team and has taken over admirably at our dispatch center,” Palmer said. “I’ve watched him grow as a person, stepping up in a leadership role. He’s coordinated our dispatchtraining program and as a supervisor has made sure

Critical Incident Award for 2010-11, he was acknowledged for being part of the dispatch team during that officer-involved shooting incident. Compton noted that his most memorable calls and calls he won’t forget are the ones that affect the LCPD families, such as the officerinvolved shooting in 2011. “We deal with the pursuits and things like that all the time but the ones that really hit home are the ones that affect our family… our police officers,” Compton said. Along with Compton, Palmer noted that the entire 9-1-1 dispatch crew is as good as it gets anywhere in the United States. “I will stack our people up against anyone in the state and the nation,” Palmer said. “Our dispatch center is a remarkable resource in our community. They know what’s going on before we know what’s going on.”

Samaritan ranks among top 100 Healthiest Employers nationally SAMARITAN NORTH LINCOLN HOSPITAL
Healthiest Employers Inc. has named Samaritan Health Services to its list of the 2019 Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America. Earlier this year, the organization and the Portland Business Journal named Samaritan the healthiest employer statewide for organizations with more than 5,000 employees. The final list of the top 100 nationwide has Samaritan as the 25th healthiest across the U.S. “This is such an honor,” said Alyssa Wink, director of Wellness and Fitness for Samaritan. “This was a highly competitive year. Several Samaritan teams had a part in earning this high ranking.” Springbuk, a health intelligence firm that works with employers on employee health initiatives, administers the national competition, While the applica-
tion process is more extensive for the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America than the statewide competition, both focus on these six categories: - Culture and leadership commitment - Foundational components - Strategic planning - Communications and marketing - Programming and interventions - Reporting and analysis The 2019 Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America award winners include organizations as small as 32 full-time employees and as large as 200,000 employees. The winning organizations span nearly every industry, size, geography
and include both private and publicly-funded organizations. Each exemplary company above has a story highlighting the success of its well-being programming and executive leadership. Companies named to the list have a holistic approach to employee well-being, including financial, mental, emotional, spiritual and social aspects. In addition, several winners have taken an outcomes-focused approach to employee health, by leveraging employee feedback, program results data and understanding how to tailor their programming to their employee population’s needs. Samaritan is one of those employers: This year, the organization invited all staff to take a Culture of Wellness survey. Results from that survey led the organization to expand several of its wellness initiatives, including: - Increased duration and locations for on-site produce
sales with local farmers and their produce, with payroll deduction available for purchases - Financial wellness seminars on homebuying, debt consolidation, retirement planning, investments and budgeting - Expanded fitness class offerings, health coaching and personal training through the four SamFit locations, as well as discounts for dependents at SamFit facilities - Creation of an Employee Engagement committee which focuses efforts on staff recognition and helping employees enhance their professional and personal lives - Shining Star recognition program for employees to nominate peers who they see demonstrating PRIDE - On-site arts programming with music In the past year, 71 percent of Samaritan employees have participated in the organization’s
employee wellness programs. Samaritan continues to expand these programs, including more offerings targeted toward employee well-being, on-site produce markets in each community and employee recognition programs. Samaritan also integrates many aspects of its wellness initiatives with its Samaritan Choice insurance plan for employees and their families. This past year, employees could earn points towards a receiving monetary incentive through the Healthy Habits rewards program for completing e-learnings, annual physicals, flu shots and routine screenings. The incentive is supported with year-round communications that keep these important selfcare reminders in the forefront. As a result, Samaritan Choice claims show an increase in preventive care, most notably in annual physical exams.
Lincoln City Audubon Society looks at endangered bird species MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
The Audubon Society of Lincoln City, a non-profit environmental organization, is looking to protect two local bird species that are at risk of extinction: the Red-Breasted Sapsucker and the Rock Sandpiper. Recently the National Audubon Society released an online tool called ‘Birds and Climate Visualizer,’ in an attempt to identify birds at risk from climate change across the country. Audubon Scientists studied 604 North American species using 140 million bird records of sightings. Audubon’s new science shows that two-thirds (64 percent or 389 out of 604) of North American bird species are at risk of extinction from climate change. For Lincoln and Tillamook Counties, the RedBreasted Sapsucker and the Rock Sandpiper species were listed among those immediately at risk. “The Red-Breasted Sapsucker is a common year
round resident on our coast found often in hemlock or spruce forests,” said Victoria McOmie of the Lincoln City Audubon Society. Both parents of the bird make their nest by drilling holes high in trees to house their eggs and both sexes will incubate the eggs and feed their young. The birds eat tree sap, berries and insects. McOmie said local bird watchers should take note when and where they see these birds for future reference. The Rock Sandpiper winters in the Pacific Northwest and has been on a decline since the 1970s. “These migratory birds will be a very choice sighting if you are lucky enough to spot one on our rocky coast,” McOmie said. “They probably have come here from Alaska or even Siberia where they nest.” The male parent Sandpiper tends the to the young for about three weeks and then the young birds find all
their own food. The pipers fly to the Pacific Northwest to spend the winter eating small mollusks, crustaceans and insects. “Not an accidental tourist to be sure but they are strong and brave,” McOmie says. The climate models come from a report by an international panel of more than 800 ‘climate change

experts’ called the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fifth Assessment Report. The Audubon Society models look at the most fundamental climate needs each species requires for survival but they do not
take specifics of habitat into account. “If habitat degrades for a species, that could cause additional harm to a species,” McOmie said. “You can help protect these birds by urging local, state and

Driver faces DUII charges after crash on Yaquina Bay Bridge THE NEWS GUARD
On Nov. 28, at approximately 2:05 p.m., Newport Police Officers were dispatched to a single vehicle rollover crash on the north end of the Yaquina Bay Bridge. Responding officers located a blue 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser resting on its side and blocking both lanes of travel on Yaquina Bay Bridge. When officers approached the vehicle they noted that the entire passenger side of the car had been ripped off during the crash. The driver and sole occupant of the vehicle, identified as William Scott Martin, was still inside. Newport Fire Department Personnel removed the rear door of the vehicle so that Martin could safely be removed. Martin refused to exit the ve-

William Scott Martin was arrested on charges of DUII, Reckless Driving and Reckless Endangering following a crash on Nov. 28. hicle and after a short time of negotiations, he was removed from the vehicle by officers on scene.
Officers on scene noted Martin showed signs of impairment when speaking and he was transported
to Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital for treatment of minor injuries. Once released from the hospital, Martin was taken into custody and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail on the charges of DUII, Reckless Driving and Reckless Endangering. Witnesses on scene reported
Martin traveling southbound on Highway 101 at a high rate of speed just prior to the crash. The speed limit on that section of highway is 35 mph. Further investigation showed that Martin left the southbound travel lane just as he was approaching the bridge. He traveled up and over a concrete divider between the roadway and the sidewalk, and struck a large concrete pillar, which heavily damaged the vehicle. The vehicle then flipped and landed onto its side. Highway 101 was closed due to the crash for approximately one hour and 30 minutes. Any witnesses who were not interviewed at the scene are encouraged to contact Officer Calvin Davis or Officer Carlos Gamboa at 541-574-3348.
City Council addresses parking concerns on city streets MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
Is parking an issue in Lincoln City? The City Council has been asking that question as of late. The topic of increased parking regulations was recently discussed by the City Council with several councilors urging for an increase in enforcement. In Oregon, a vehicle parked in the same spot on city streets for longer than 24 hours is considered abandoned and can be towed. However, city law states that cars, trucks, motorcycles, trailers and other vehicles should be moved within 72 hours. “Not saying we’re going to rush out there after 24 hours… but the problem was the police were issuing notice to people who were storing trailers, campers, vehicles and things in the right of way,” City Attorney
Richard Appicello said. City Councilors addressed the issue of narrow city streets, which can create traffic problems when citizens park their vehicle for an extended period of time. Appicello said an updated ordinance would prevent anyone from parking in the city right of way. The Council noted that most vehicles are being parked in the city streets are not in approved parking spaces. However, the Council did discuss a possible permit process. “I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have residential parking permits for residences, so they can park in the vicinity of their units when parking is constrained,” Appicello said. “We have a need here, the right of way is being used by persons or businesses for their own personal or commercial use.”
COURTESY PHOTO/FRANK CAVEZZA
The City Council will look to reach a decision on parking regulations at the next meeting on Dec. 9. Lincoln City Police Chief Jerry Palmer said he would be in favor of enforcing a 24hour law. Palmer said many parking violators will receive a notice and then move their vehicle slightly, which technically gives them another 72 hours without
violation. “The clock starts over again,” Palmer said. “This would help us address that. This gives us a tool to prevent us from just starting the clock over.” While most councilors were on board with an up-
dated ordinance, it was not unanimous. One councilor argued that it leaves a lot of discretion for an enforcement officer. Palmer said the focus would be abandoned vehicles or vehicles that create a nuisance. “We make sure we are
identifying abandoned or nuisance vehicles and we take action on those,” Palmer said. Unable to reach a decision, the Council voted to discuss the ordinance at the next City Council meeting scheduled for Dec. 9.

Response to ‘LCSD holds fifth highest homeless student count’
A few facts about Medicare for All
I had to read Max Kirkendall’s LCSD holds fifth highest homeless student count article twice, and then I asked my wife if the numbers could possibly be true. Seventeen percent, nearly one out of five Lincoln City students are homeless and one hundred and sixty-nine children, babies to age five, are also homeless. We live in a city where blocks of houses on the west side of Highway 101 are either vacation rental properties or investment properties that year after year sit vacant. Also, this is a region that grows big beautiful trees - trees that could more than adequately meet the need for small homes for the city’s workers, but instead, Georgia Pacific turns many of those trees into toilet paper and cardboard boxes for export. If Lincoln City is going to remain dependent on a pliant working class that earns between $11 and $15 an hour, then at some point the city and the state are going to have to address the region’s acute housing crisis. Markets work great for toothpaste, clothing, auto parts and the before mentioned toilet paper, but when it comes to providing suitable, affordable housing for the working class, the capitalist market is failing miserably.
The United States has the largest percentage of women die in pregnancy and childbirth than any industrialized nation in the world. France is the number one country in saving mothers. WHY? Because they have high quality universal health care. Most European countries have universal health care. 54 other nations in the world save a larger percentage of newborn babies than the United States. Japan is number one in saving babies. WHY? Because their government awards money to new parents to help with the costs of childbirth. And they also provide an allowance to help them raise the children. Isn’t it about time the U.S. cared about families?

That is the moment Martha first met Jim. There were married on Feb. 26, 1944. They were married over 70 years. Jim passed away on March 20, 2014. Martha is survived by her beloved daughters – Barbara Pierce of Klamath Falls, Ore. and Sylvia Baily of Washougal, Wash.; beloved sons Clifford of
Portland, Ore. and Loren of Winnemucca, Nevada; and son in law Darnell O’Neill of Lincoln City, Ore. Martha is preceded in death by her daughter Evelyn O’Neill and two granddaughters Cindy and Wendy. Martha worked at the Seashore Motel for many years. Then Jim and Martha started to travel all over the United States, to Alaska,
Hawaii and trips to Canada. Martha was a member of the Eagles Lodge for many years. She has 14 grandchildren and 22 great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. A Celebration of Life was held at the Pacific View Cemetery in Lincoln City on Dec. 2.
preceded her in death. Her family moved to Broken Bow, Nebraska, and she started high school. In January 1940, she moved with her family to Newberg, OR and finished high school. It was there she met her high school sweetheart, Charles Heater. They were married on Nov. 13, 1942, and a son, Charles Ray, was born in 1943. While her husband “Chuck” was away in the service during WWII, she worked in a float factory in Newberg. Later she moved with her son Ray to Portland and was employed by The National Identification Service until Chuck was discharged from the Navy.
In 1945 they moved to Rose Lodge, OR. Another son, Frank, was born in 1946, and Emma became a stayat-home mom. She was involved in many school activities: president of the P.T.A., treasurer of lunchroom, a member of the County school board, as well as other activities. She loved sports and participated in softball, bowling, golf, senior swim exercises, and loved watching football with her husband. In 1962 she entered the workforce, again, at an exclusive mens and womens dress shop, “The Beach Toggery,” in Oceanlake. While there, she helped the owners present fashion
shows, even modeling in some. Emma and the other employee would manage the shop when the owners were on a buying trip or vacation. She started at Lincoln Bank in Oceanlake in 1970 and worked there until her husband retired. They began traveling to Yuma, AZ for a few months every winter, in addition to many cruises.

Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest,
with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $7,903.99 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $109,583.78 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 6/1/2019, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 3/12/2020 at the hour of 10:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the south entrance to the Lincoln County Courthouse, located at 225 W Olive Street, Newport, OR 97365 County of LINCOLN, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the
right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest JAMES MEYER 7404 SALMON RIVER HWY OTIS, OR 97368 Original Borrower DEBORAH MEYER 7404 SALMON RIVER HWY OTIS, OR 97368 Original Borrower For Sale Information Call: 916939-0772 or Login to: www.nationwideposting. com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee’s deed has been issued by QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer’s money and take further action as necessary. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have
been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale.

(The City of Lincoln City holds a contract to purchase the subject property, subject to certain conditions). Any resident of the city shall be given an opportunity to present written or oral testimony at the hearing. The proposed use of the subject property is for Transitional Housing (housing and support services). The reason the City Council finds it necessary or convenient to sell/convey the property to “Helping Hands Re-Entry Outreach Centers” is that the City Council desires to provide transitional housing to the City of Lincoln City’s homeless population. The terms of the sale/conveyance will include a fee simple determinable condition in the deed that the property must be used for transitional housing, a note and trust deed for the purchase price of $400,000.00, and a note and trust deed for a $350,000.00 rehabilitation loan. The annual payment for the purchase price may be excused based on satisfactory operation of the facility. The staff report and supporting materials may be reviewed on the City of Lincoln City’s website under “Agenda,
Packets and Video” “Upcoming Meetings” “December 9, 2019.”
Commonly known as: 640 N OVERLOOK LOOP, OTIS, OR 97368 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $8,954.52 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $154,944.33 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so
that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 4/1/2019, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 3/11/2020 at the hour of 9:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the Front Entrance of the Lincoln County Courthouse, located at 225 West Olive Street, Newport, OR 97365 County of LINCOLN, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had pow-
er to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest RICHARD SMITH SR 640 N OVERLOOK LOOP OTIS, OR 97368 Original Borrower LINDA SMITH 640 N OVERLOOK LOOP OTIS, OR 97368 Original Borrower For Sale Information Call: 800280-2832 or Login to: www.auction.com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee’s deed has been issued by QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer’s money and take further action as necessary. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee.

Health Matters by Samaritan Health Services
Medicare Advantage heads into new year with 4-Star rating Medicare Advantage plans offered by Samaritan Health Plans recently earned a 4-Star Rating for 2020 from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). This is up from a 3.5 rating for the previous year.
This Star Rating reflects the combination of ratings for Samaritan’s drug plan and health plans services. The drug plan services rating improved to 4.5 Stars — previously 3.5 — while health plan services maintained its 4-Star Rating. Star Ratings are based on a scale of 1-5 Stars and are assessed each year by CMS. The ratings take into consideration metrics that measure member satisfaction and positive health outcomes. Some of the areas Medicare reviews for these ratings include how members rate the plan’s services and care, how well the plan’s clinicians detect illness and keep members healthy, and how well the plan helps members use their prescription medications safely. “We’re very pleased with the news of our 4-Star Rating,” said Bruce Butler, Samaritan Health Plans CEO. “This is more than a member satisfaction survey. The improvement in our Star Rating reflects a great deal of work we’ve done to improve the services our health plans staff and doctors provide to members. It’s also a sign we’re helping keep our members healthier and more engaged in their health care.”
Engagement and educational opportunities for Samaritan Advantage plan members include new member orientations throughout the year and quarterly Lunch & Learns hosted by Kevin Ewanchyna, MD, Samaritan Health Plans chief medical officer.
Regardless of your health plan affiliation, the coming New Year offers a new opportunity for all Medicare recipients to get a fresh start managing their health care. An important first item to check off the list is scheduling an Annual Wellness Visit. This is not an annual physical exam. Instead, the Annual Wellness Visit is an extended conversation with your clinician to review the big picture and ensure that your specific health care needs are met. It’s you and your doctor working together, as a team. The Annual Wellness Visit starts with completing a health risk assessment and ends with creating or updating your personalized health care plan. Medicare recipients pay nothing for this visit if the provider accepts Medicare or is a network provider with their Medicare Advantage or Supplement plan. Despite this, it’s surprising how many folks don’t take advantage of this critical benefit. “As a physician, I strongly urge all Medicare recipients to ask their primary care provider
Above: Kevin Ewanchyna, MD, chief medical officer for Samaritan Health Plans, confers with a patient about an Annual Wellness Visit,” said Ewanchyna. “It’s truly a conversation worth having. It will help keep you and your doctor on the same page regarding your care.” Samaritan Health Plans offers Medicare Advantage plans to residents of Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties. Saturday, Dec. 7, is the end of Medicare’s annual Open Enrollment Period for 2020. However, it may be possible to obtain coverage for 2020 after this date based on individual eligibility. Call 866-747-5267 to learn more about how and when you can enroll.
Orthopedic surgery group expands to Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital recently launched an orthopedic surgery program in partnership with Synergy Surgicalists, a nationwide company committed to expanding general and orthopedic surgery services in urban and rural communities. Designed to increase access to quality orthopedic care close to home, a team of orthopedic surgeons will provide care at Samaritan Orthopedics & Podiatry – Newport, ensuring the availability of orthopedic services for patients 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “The advantage of working with a team of orthopedic surgeons, rather than an individual surgeon, is continuous coverage for orthopedic medical appointments, consultations, planned
surgeries and emergency surgeries at our hospital,” said SPCH Chief Executive Officer Lesley Ogden, MD. “This partnership allows us to bring talented surgeons with unique clinical strengths into our community.” The first Synergy surgeon to join the Newport team is Stephen Houseworth, MD, FACS. Houseworth earned his medical degree from Emory University School of Medicine, completed a surgery internship and residency at Fitzsimmons Army Medical Center, a special rotation in pediatric orthopedics at Scottish Rite Hospital for Children, and a special rotation in sports medicine at Keller Army Hospital. For more information about the orthopedic services available in Newport, call 541-574-7235.
Community update on new hospitals in Lincoln County
1988 building to be occupied in phases
As the full renovation and retrofitting of Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital’s 1988 building nears completion, planning is accelerating for a smooth transition back into the new spaces. Information Services will have access in mid-December to begin network infrastructure. Once the city issues a temporary certificate of occupancy in early 2020, staff will begin orienting to the new spaces and train on life safety systems. Soon after, support services such as housekeeping, nutrition services and
materials management will move in and become operational, followed by administrative staff and patient-facing services by mid-March.
Lincoln City hospital nearing completion
With less than 10 weeks left before Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital opens to patients, work inside and outside the new building is progressing smoothly. The strategy to complete work inside the building by area — moving from north to east to south to west/center — has kept the many various tradespeople busy and
productive. For example, while final cleaning and miscellaneous punch list work takes place in Area A, the final coat of paint is being placed in Areas B and C and final flooring is in progress in Area D — no overlapping of work. This strategy has reduced delays and kept the project on track for its opening on Feb. 4, 2020. Visit samhealth.org/NewHospitalLincolnCity or samhealth.org/NewHospitalNewport to follow the progress of the two Samaritan hospital projects in Lincoln County.

Robbery From page A1 of Otis, had attempted to steal several packs of batteries from the store. When the clerk confronted May regarding the batteries, he brandished what was described as a black hand-
gun. May then fled the area eastbound on Highway 18 in a vehicle. “A Sergeant from Grand Ronde Tribal Police spotted the vehicle traveling east on Highway 18 near Grand Ronde,” the Lincoln County Sheriff’s office reported.
“Deputies from the Polk County Sheriff’s Office and Yamhill County Sheriff’s Office responded to assist, along with Troopers from the Oregon State Police.” May’s vehicle was located parked in front of a residence in Grand Ronde
a short time later and he was detained by local law enforcement. Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputies then responded to Grand Ronde to continue the investigation, where they located the weapon, which was deter-
mined to be a black pellet gun. At the conclusion of the investigation, it was determined that May had removed the batteries from his pocket prior to leaving the store and hid them in another part of the store. May was taken into
custody and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail for Unlawful Use of a Weapon and Menacing. His bail is set at $65,000.

Police From page A1 injuries throughout the nation. According the latest data collected by oregonlive. com in 2017, 439 people died during Oregon crashes with 112 dying in crashes where drivers were legally impaired under current statute. DUII grant funds where last used in Lincoln City during this past Labor Day weekend in August. During those enhanced DUII enforcement operations two DUII arrests were made. The Distracted Driving Enforcement funds, in the amount of $2,000, will be utilized to put extra officers out on patrol specifically looking for drivers who are using their cell phones or other electronic devices while operating their vehicles, states the LCPD.
“The goals of these operations are to raise awareness to the dangers of distracted driving, and to reduce distracted driving by enforcement action and education,” said Winn. “The effort is to change the behaviors of drivers and make distracted driving unacceptable. The end goal is to increase the safety of everyone on the roadways and reduce crashes caused by distracted driving.” Distracted drivers in Oregon face the steepest fines in the United States according to a recent study done by Rosenblum Law, the firm behind traffictickets.com. The firm looked at laws in all 50 states and with up to $1,000 for a first-time offense, Oregon earned the number one slot. Second-time offenses or

in chase vehicles, who will then conduct a traffic stop on the violator of the crosswalk law and take the appropriate educational or enforcement action,” Winn said. “The primary focus of the operations is to raise pedestrian safety awareness in motorists with an emphasis on enhancing the safety for pedestrians crossing our roadways.” LCPD has been conducting several pedestrian safety operations throughout the year, with the last one taking place in August. “The members of the LCPD are committed to the safety of our citizens and visitors and these grants will assist in taking proactive steps toward improving the traffic safety in the community,” Winn said.

Lost bicyclist rescued in Neskowin area CODY MANN headlightnews@countrymedia.net
A man on vacation from Scotland with his wife became lost on a bicycle ride in the Neskowin area and was saved by deputies and searchers from the sheriff’s office. Around 5:42 p.m. the evening of Friday, Nov. 29, members of the Tillamook County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue Team were notified of an overdue bicyclist. The bicyclist, who
was identified by authorities as 38-year-old Duncan Russell, set out for an hour-long ride and had not returned three hours later. With darkness falling, Russell’s wife alerted authorities. Without provisions and unprepared for the rapidly dropping temperature, he could have been in trouble if not for deputies and searchers closing in on his location through his cellphone signal. Russell reportedly

abandoned his bike and hiked through dense foliage to the oceanside cliffs near South Beach Road, south of a water tower. Search and Rescue members and deputies spent an hour and a half hiking in, reaching Russell just after 8:30 p.m. They warmed him up before aiding him in the hike out to his wife and where emergency responders could evaluate him. Russell was later seen attending the Search and
Rescue fundraising dinner auction. He posed for a photo with one of the deputies who helped find him. A sheriff’s office spokesman said the rescue showed the importance of preparation, dressing for the weather, and the need to carry supplies such as food and water even for short excursions. A fully charged GPS device or cellphone should also be carried, and always tell someone where you’re going.
Passersby extinguish car fire on Hwy 18 On Nov. 29, at 9:12 a.m. the Oregon State Police responded to a reported vehicle on fire on Highway 18 near milepost 9. The driver, a juvenile from Portland, reported that the fire occurred in the bed of the truck and was put out by passersby with fire extinguishers and with the help of North Lincoln Fire and Rescue, who arrived on
scene at 9:26 a.m. “We arrived at milepost 8.5 where the vehicle was reported to be at 10:05 a.m.,” OSP Officer Zach Taylor said in his report. “When we arrived, the vehicle had driven away and the burnt contents of the vehicle were road side.” It is unclear at this time how the fire began, but it was determined to be accidental. There were no reported injuries, and the vehicle wasn’t a hazard on
the roadway, creating only slight delays for holiday travelers. The debris from the fire was left on the side of road to cool, and the driver said he would return to pick up the contents. No further action was taken by the Oregon State Police.

Lincoln City celebrates ‘Small Business Saturday’ with special guests THE NEWS GUARD
Lincoln City began celebrating Small Business Saturday early this year. Kicking off the countdown to Small Business Saturday, U.S. Small Business Administration Portland District Director Marty Golden traveled to Lincoln City to visit with a number of small business owners. The promotion, founded in 2010 by American Express, was adopted by the U. S. Small Business Administration a few years later when the SBA joined as a co-sponsor. According to the American Express “Shop Small� website, Small Business Saturday “is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses and communities across

ness Saturday and thanked coastal entrepreneurs for their hard work. In visit after visit, Golden highlighted the tremendous importance of small business owners to the country – much less rural counties like Lincoln County. Golden was joined by Rep. David Gomberg and Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson, along with Oregon Coast Community College Small Business Development Center Director Dave Price. The four also met Monday with Heather DeSart, Executive Director of Northwest Oregon Works, for a conversation about the coastal economy and local workforce needs. “It was marvelous to have District Director Golden take the time to visit
with Lincoln County business owners, and to share those visits and stories with Portland and folks across the nation, through the SBA’s social media channels,� Price said. “This is the fourth time in recent years Marty has visited Lincoln County – he has a sincere interest in the health and well-being of our businesses, which are so critical to the county as a whole.� Throughout the morning, Golden, Gomberg, Anderson and Price strolled through a rainy Oceanlake District of Lincoln City, visiting Barnacle Bill’s, Kenny’s IGA, Bob’s Beach Books, and the Bijou Theatre. Celebrating on Saturday To mark “Small Business Saturday,� the SBDC
is joined forces with the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, the Oregon Coast TODAY and other local businesses, for a series of Facebook live and pre-recorded videos, which were posted by these organizations. Price said all businesses in the county were encouraged to participate on their own. “Let’s reach out to our friends and neighbors who are on their phones or laptops, where they could be tempted to shop online, and instead remind them of all the great reasons to start their shopping right here, locally, with some of their local retailers, restaurants and attractions.�
