LCSD sets plan for reopening all classrooms

\

Rotary Re-Tool’s After Fires

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Following the State of Oregon’s and the Oregon Department of Education’s update to the reopening schools metrics, school districts across the state began to wonder what that would mean for them.

In the Lincoln County School District (LCSD), it means all students will be back in the classroom within the next month.

LCSD Superintendent Dr. Karen Gray announced last week that they plan to take full advantage of the new metrics by getting all grades, K-12, back in school using a staggered start. Because Lincoln County has maintained relatively low COVID-19 case, LCSD are now eligible to return all students under a Hybrid model.

In a Hybrid model, students attend school in-person full time for two days per week in half-sized cohorts, either Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday. For now, Wednesdays continue to be not in person for any student. The remaining two days that students are not in person, they will receive instruction online.

THE NEWS GUARD

The Rotary Club of Lincoln City has found a new way to support the wildfire survivors in Lincoln County.

It all started when the LC Rotary Club was contacted by their Rotary District about supporting wildfire survivors and helping them get back to work by replacing tools needed for their trade that were lost in the fire.

The Rotary assistance program,

“Echo Mtn Fire Relief Re-Tool” grant focuses on individuals who have lost their home, had little to no insurance and are struggling to continue to work effectively due to their loss of tools and equipment needed for their trade.

To fund this program, Rotary Club of LC received a $12,500 grant from the Rotary District, donations of $4,150 from their own club, $3,655 from the Rotary Club of Seaside, $4,000 from the OR State Chamber, $1,000 from

NW Natural, $3,500 from a Lincoln County grant, and $3,750 from Mills ACE Hardware, for a total of $32,555.

The Rotary Club of LC worked with Lincoln County, LC Chamber of Commerce, and LC Parks and Recreation to distribute the grant applications.

As a result, on Nov. 9, 51 wildfire survivors were given a shopping trip to purchase up to $650 of work

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia. net

The 2020 general election was unlike any other as candidates looked to fill positions that directly impacted decisions made during a historic pandemic, economic crisis and an outcry for social justice.

Both nationally and locally in Lincoln County, communities endured a grueling week of watching and waiting as the United States tallied a record number of votes.

Nationally, Democrat Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump to become the 46th president of the United States on Nov. 7. His victory came after more than three days of uncertainty as election officials sorted through a surge of mail-in votes that delayed processing. Biden crossed the winning threshold of 270 Electoral College votes with a win in Pennsylvania, his home state.

“With the campaign over, it’s time to put the anger and the harsh rhetoric behind us and come together as a nation,”

Biden said during his victory speech Saturday night. “There’s nothing we can’t do if we do it together.”

As of Nov. 9, President Trump has refused to concede, threatening further legal action on ballot counting.

In Lincoln County, the Clerk’s Office counted 30,673 votes, which is approximately 99 percent of the ballots and reported a 79.83 percent voter turnout.

Veterans Day Message: A time to pause as a nation KELLY FITZPATRICK

This Veterans Day across the nation, for the first time since the holiday was conceived in November 1919, there will be no large ceremonies in big cities and small towns in observance to properly express our gratitude and appreciate of our country’s brave men and women who served in the United States Armed Forces.

Instead, 2020 will long be remembered as a year of tremendous change and challenge for our nation. Yet, this year also notably marks 75 years since the end of another historic global event that united our country: the end of World War II and the subsequent creation of the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs in 1945.

One of the most poignant aspects of our Oregon veteran community is that it is as diverse and united as the nation we serve.

Whether you are one of the 300,000 Oregon veterans who served in the trenches of Europe, the mountains of Korea, the jungles of Asia, the deserts of the Middle East or anywhere

and deep sacrifices.

Today, we also remember our fellow Americans missing in action, whose fate is still undetermined. We will not rest until we have made the fullest possible accounting for every life that was given in pursuit of our freedoms and preserving democracy.

We also pause to remember the men and women who did not live to be called “veterans.”

Many of them rest in the hearts of our national cemeteries.

We also honor the families of the lost, who carry a burden of grief that time may lighten, but never lift, as well as all veterans’ family members. Their loved ones placed duty and country before their own lives.

America is known as the land of the free and the home of the brave, but this was never a given. This reputation was earned by the blood and sweat of patriots who, generation after generation, dedicate themselves to keeping our nation safe, strong and free.

What veterans have given our country is beyond our power to fully repay, yet, today we pause as a nation to recog-

nize our debt.

This Veterans Day, although we must adjust how we celebrate, I encourage you to join me, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown and other veterans and civic leaders as we mark this important observation with our firstever virtual Statewide Veterans Day celebration.

The event will be streamed on the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs’ Facebook page beginning at 11 a.m., Wednesday, Nov. 11. I hope you are able to join us as we honor and celebrate all of our nation’s veterans.

Finally, on behalf of the Oregon Department of Veterans Affairs and a grateful state and nation, on this day and every day, we thank you for your service.

Kelly Fitzpatrick is the director of the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs and Governor Kate Brown’s policy advisor on veterans’ issues. She is a retired Army officer. Her military awards and decorations include multiple awards of the Meritorious Service Medal, the Southwest Asia Service Medal and the Army Parachutist Badge.

Explore the history of Veteran’s Day THE NEWS GUARD

Service members make numerous sacrifices in defense of their countries. While the debts to service members may never be the kind that can be repaid in full, paying tribute to veterans, on Veteran’s Day and throughout the year, can be a great way to show them just how much their efforts are appreciated.

Veteran’s Day begins with Armistice Day Veteran’s Day is a byproduct of the end of World War I, when Germany and the Allied Nations signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ceasing fighting and establishing terms of peace.

On November 11, 1919, the first anniversary of the signing of the treaty, the first Armistice Day events were held. Armistice Day was initially a legal holiday to honor the end of World War I only, states History.com. The United States Congress passed a resolution in 1926 for an annual observance, and November 11 became a national holiday start-

ing in 1938. However, in 1954, after the country had been embroiled in both World War II and the Korean War, Congress amended the Act of 1938 by renaming the commemoration “Veteran’s Day” to honor veterans of all wars.

American flag etiquette

Veteran’s Day in October?

According to Military. com, for a short time, thanks to the Uniform Holiday Bill, which in 1968 established threeday weekends for federal employees by celebrating national holidays on Mondays, Veteran’s Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October — the first being October 25, 1971. However, many people did not agree with this decision, continuing to honor the holiday on the original date. In 1975, President Gerald Ford signed a new law that returned Veteran’s Day to November 11 beginning in 1978. Since then, parades, memorial events, volunteer efforts, and other celebrations revolving around veterans have been held on November 11.

THE NEWS GUARD

Veterans around the world Many countries, including the United States, celebrate veterans on or near November 11.

America’s closest neighbor to the north, Canada, commemorates veterans on Remembrance Day (also November 11), as does the United Kingdom.

Britain also has Remembrance Sunday, which is the second Sunday of November. Remembrance Day also is called Poppy Day, when people of the Commonwealth member states wear a red poppy flower in honor of military members who have died in the line of duty.

Paying tribute There are various ways to honor veterans on Veteran’s Day and Remembrance Day. Federal government closings, educational efforts in schools, parades, and visits to military hospitals or cemeteries may take place. In Europe, it is common to observe two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. every November 11.

Veteran’s Day and its sister holidays mark the honoring of veterans of all wars, with a particular focus on living veterans.

It is a day to celebrate the dedication and selflessness of hardworking military men and women.

Honoring all heroes this holiday THE NEWS GUARD

Veteran’s Day, which is celebrated annually on November 11, commemorates the hardworking men and women who sacrifice their time and put themselves in harm’s way to defend the country’s core values of freedom and opportunity. While Veteran’s Day certainly is a chance to honor those who have donned the uniform during wars and military installments, it also can be a chance to recognize the unsung heroes of wartime — those who step into roles so that soldiers and strategists can focus their attention elsewhere.

Take for example Naomi Parker Fraley. In 1942, Fraley was a machine shop worker at the Naval Air Station in Alameda, Calif. She was one of scores women who worked in factories and shipyards during World War II, helping to produce munitions and war supplies. Parker was 20 years old in 1942 and served as the inspiration for what would become one of the most indelible images of the era, known as “Rosie the Riveter.” Parker unknowingly inspired the iconic image after she was photographed at work bent over an industrial machine in a jumpsuit with her hair tied back in a polka-dot bandana. In 2018, Naomi Parker Fraley died at the age of 96, not nearly the household name she perhaps should have been.

Rosie the Riveter helped to tout the contributions of female war employees who

were defending America by working on the homefront.

Rosie was a successful morale-booster, and some may be surprised to learn that Rosie has various incarnations.

Norman Rockwell’s depiction of a female riveter, which appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post on May 29, 1943, became an iconic staple of that time. Muscular, with a rivet gun on her lap, a sandwich in hand and a boot stomping on a copy of “Mein Kampf” — and timed perfectly to coincide with the release of a song called “Rosie the Riveter” by Redd Evans and John Jacob Loeb — Rosie became a household name. But another Rosie image actually predates Rockwell’s Post cover.

Naomi Parker Fraley was reportedly the inspiration for an ad created by a lesser

known artist named J. Howard Miller. Miller produced a “We Can Do It!” poster for Westinghouse Electric in 1942 aimed at boosting

spirits among the company’s workers. The poster helped to recruit new female personnel, according to scholar James J. Kimble.

This Rosie was portrayed in a red bandana with her bent arm flexed, rolling up her shirtsleeve.

Both Miller’s and Rockwell’s depictions of female war workers became ingrained in popular culture.

Rockwell’s cover art was eventually loaned to the U.S. Department of the Treasury for use in war bond drives for the duration of the war.

Miller’s version has been emulated for generations and still epitomizes a strong female presence in the workforce.

This Veteran’s Day is a prime time to delve into American wartime history, with interesting stories like the origins of Rosie the Riveter, and pay homage to all of the heroes that help ensure America’s reputation as a great nation.

The American flag symbolizes many things to many people. While the American flag is proudly displayed in millions of buildings and homes across the United States year-round, it tends to draw special attention on patriotic holidays. The following are some of the rules that govern how to display the American flag.

Raising and lowering the flag According to USFlag. org, the American flag should be raised quickly and lowered slowly and ceremoniously. While the Flag Code suggests the flag should be displayed only between sunrise and sunset, if it is displayed at night, it should be illuminated. The flag should be saluted as it is hoisted, and when lowered that salute should be held until the flag is unsnapped from the halyard or through the final note of music, whichever is the longest. When displayed indoors, the flag should be displayed to the right of the speaker, staging area or sanctuary.

In mourning The American flag is often displayed in mourning. When placing the flag at half staff, first hoist it to the peak for an instant before lowering it to a position halfway between the top and bottom of the staff.

During mourning, when the time comes to lower the flag, it should once again be momentarily raised to the peak before it is lowered.

The American flag is flown at half staff when mourning designated, principal government leaders. It also must be flown at half

staff upon presidential or gubernatorial order. When covering a casket, the American flag should be placed with the union at the head and over the left shoulder.

The flag should never be lowered into the grave.

Parading the flag When the American flag is carried in a procession, such as in a parade, the flag should always be to the right of the marchers when it is the lone flag being represented. When other flags are carried, the American flag may be centered in front of the others or carried to their right. Parade audiences should salute the flag as it passes in the procession.

Flag restrictions There are many conditions under which the American flag is not to be used. These include: • The flag should never be used as a decoration.

Use bunting to decorate with the colors of the American flag, always ensuring the blue stripe of the bunting is on top.

• The flag should not be used as part of advertising. The flag also should not be embroidered, printed or impressed on articles such as cushions, napkins, boxes, or anything considered temporary that is likely to be discarded after use.

• The flag should not be used as part of a costume. The uniforms of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations are permitted to wear American flag insignias on their uniforms.

• The flag is not to be used as a receptacle to carry, deliver, hold, or receive anything.

Election From page A1 State Senator, 5th District In a tight race for a seat in the State Senate, Republican candidate Dick Anderson won over Democrat, Independent, Working Families candidate Melissa Cribbins.

Anderson, who is Mayor of Lincoln City, had 49.32 percent of the vote. Cribbins, a Coos County Commissioner, had 46.59 percent of the vote.

Pacific Green party candidate and Lakeside city councilor Shauleen Higgins had just under 4 percent of the vote.

Both Anderson and Cribbins released a statement to The News Guard regarding the unofficial results: Dick Anderson “I am pleased to be on the winning side of this campaign.

Feels so much better than in 2016.

“We had a good message and strong execution of the strategy. The voters on the coast responded.

“I look forward to doing what I have said all along, Standing up for the Coast. I will be counting on Country Media to help me to continue to get my message out to all the citizens of Senate District 5.

“We have much to do. Thank you to everyone who voted, more than 12,000 additional votes than in 2016. What a great response.”

Melissa Cribbins “I want to thank everyone who voted for me and believed in my vision for the coast. I also want to congratulate Dick Anderson on his victory.

“Even though the results did not come back as I had hoped, this does not change our story; I will continue to be a strong voice for working families on the coast, advocating for protecting the industries that put food on the table for everyday coastal residents, supporting our community colleges and making healthcare more affordable and accessible. Thank you.”

State Representative, 9th District Cal Mukumoto - Democrat, Working Families - 538 *Boomer Wright - Republican, Libertarian - 166 State Representative, 10th District With just over 52 percent of the vote, Representative David

Gomberg was re-elected to his House District 10 position.

Gomberg, the Democrat, Independent candidate from Otis, faced Republican candidate Max Sherman, a former educator in Tillamook, in the 2020 general election. House District 10 represents portions of Lincoln, Tillamook, Yamhill and Polk Counties.

With 20,041 votes, Gomberg beat out the 18,080 votes for Sherman. Both candidates released the following statement regarding the unofficial results: David Gomberg “Thank you so much for honoring me with the responsibility to represent the people of the Central Coast. This is a special part of Oregon.

“Our people, our communities and our needs are diverse.

But I continue to believe that together, we can achieve so much.

“Whether you voted for me or not, I’ll continue to work every day to make your lives better and your dreams achievable.”

Max Sherman “Thank you to everyone for the support and encouragement. We knew we had a challenge going into this race.

“While I am disappointed in the final results I am thankful for the opportunity and I am greatly enriched by the friendships that have been strengthened and the many new friends gained over the past six months.

“I am encouraged by the many of the numbers in the race and believe that it is positive looking towards the future. It has been a very challenging election cycle and a great learning experience. Thank you!”

Judge of the Circuit Court, 17th District, Position 2 In one of the tightest election races in the State of Oregon, Judge Marcia Buckley will retain her position as Judge of the Circuit Court in the 17th District, Position 2.

With 12,781 votes, Buckley just edged challenger Amanda Benjamin, who tallied 12,638 votes. Each candidate released a statement following the unofficial 2020 general election results: Marcia Buckley “It is my honor to continue to serve as your Circuit Court Judge. Over the course of this judicial race, I have been moved by the outpouring of kindness

from people all over this community.

“I want to thank my support network, those that campaigned tirelessly on my behalf, and the voters. I also want to thank my family: My parents who always told me I could do anything I set my mind to; my sister, Sharon, who gave me encouragement by telling me to keep going; my husband, Mike, who lovingly encouraged me to take this leap of faith; and my children, Pat, Kasie and Sharon.

“I especially want to thank my technologically savvy daughter, Sharon, for helping her mother with her campaign website, pounding countless lawn signs, and being an incredible source of support for me. I ran this campaign in a way that I hoped would make Sharon proud of her mother.

“Just as my parents told me I could do anything I set my mind to, I want Sharon to know the same is true for her. Thank you voters of Lincoln County for your confidence in me. I look forward to serving as your judge for the next six years.”

Amanda Benjamin “Thank you so much to all those who supported and encouraged me throughout this campaign. It means the world to me.

“I’m obviously disappointed in the results so far but I knew that challenging someone who would be listed as the incumbent would be an uphill battle.

We are so close (0.4%)! If it gets closer, the state may automatically do a hand-count. If they do not, we will consider requesting one. 143 votes is a wide enough gap that I don’t anticipate a recount showing a different result.

“Regardless, thank you all for coming this far with me, and if this time doesn’t work out you will see me again in the next judicial election!”

Lincoln County Commissioner, Position 2 There were several contested races in Lincoln County during the 2020 general election, including Lincoln County Commissioner, Position 2.

Incumbent Claire Hall was seeking a fifth term on the Board of Commissioners and was challenged by Joe Hitselberger. With 99 percent of the Lincoln County vote counted as of Nov. 3, Commissioner Hall retained the position with 14,474 votes while Hitselberger received 11,605 votes.

Each candidate released a brief statement following the results:

the important work ahead in serving the place and the people I love.”

Claire Hall “I am gratified and humbled by the outcome of my election for so many reasons. I have never taken for granted the trust you, the people of Lincoln County, have placed in me, and I never will.

“This past year, I’ve had to make more difficult and controversial decisions than in my prior 15 years of service combined. Anyone who has been doing a job like this, especially for as long as I have, and especially in these tumultuous times, will make enemies as well as friends. I always try to listen to all sides and seek the greatest good for the greatest number of people, but inevitably, not everyone will see that.

“Those of you who know me well know I have a great passion for history. I think it’s essential for leaders to study history to understand the successes and failures of the past and to understand the context of the challenges we are facing in the present day.

“My re-election places me in an elite club. Lincoln County was established in 1893. In the 127 years we’ve been a county, only three people have been elected to the position of commissioner five times—Mike Miller (1955-1975), Don Lindly (1991-2012) and now me.

“Mike Miller’s service was before my time here, but I have a sense of why he was a respected leader who won the public’s endorsement multiple times. I was a reporter covering county government when Don Lindly was elected and served alongside him for more than seven years. He was one of several role models I have tried to emulate.

“There’s been a lot of changes in Lincoln County since I moved here 34 years ago and since I began my elected service to you 16 years ago. There have been a lot of changes in my own life in these past couple of years. This has been the most challenging year of my career, but of far greater significance is that it’s been the hardest year Lincoln County has seen.

“Despite the hardships of COVID-19 and wildfire, we have endured as individuals and as a community. We have endured, and soon we will thrive again.

I am refreshed, reenergized, and recommitted to continuing

Joe Hitselberger “Results are not in my favor, but I appreciate everyone’s support, thank you! Interesting experience, learned a lot about the county and the people who live here. Glad it’s over.”

City of Depoe Bay Mayor Jerome Grant - 392 *Kathy M Short - 622 City of Depoe Bay Council Member, Position 6 *Fran Recht - 599 Roman Smolcic - 308 City of Lincoln City Council Member, Ward II (2 year term) In the only contested race for the Lincoln City City Council, Anne Marie Skinner won by a slim margin to represent Ward II. In the 2020 general election, current city councilors Diana Hinton, Riley Hoagland and Judy Casper, all ran unopposed to retain their seat on the City Council. The contested race was between Skinner and Carolyn Nguyen for the final vacant position. With 694 votes, Skinner just edged out the 634 votes for Nguyen.

Each candidate released a statement following the unofficial results as of Nov. 4: Anne Marie Skinner “I am excited that my run for City Council was successful, and I am very much looking forward to taking office in January 2021.

“I want to sincerely and wholeheartedly thank all of my supporters for voting, encouraging me, placing yard signs, and generally spreading the word. I could not have done this without all of my wonderful friends and supporters.”

Carolyn Nguyen “I would like to thank everyone who voted for me. I really enjoyed hitting the campaign trail and meeting so many wonderful people.

“This was a very close election with my opponent getting 694 votes to my 634. I wish Anne Marie Skinner the best as she takes on the responsibility of representing all members of Ward 2.” *Denotes Winner See full election results on thenewsguard.com website.

Thank You Strangers I am writing this to thank some anonymous strangers for their very generous gift!

Sunday noon, six of us friends were eating at the Hilltop Restaurant after church.

The 3 men in our

group are Marine and Army veterans.

We discussed veterans issues as well as our disappointment in the election of Biden.

Our waitress brought our $80+ bill that was PAID with a note saying: “Thank you for your service! Go Trump! We stick together. Hugs!”

That was 12:46 PM on Sunday Nov. 8 We retired citizens are grateful and would like to thank them.

When the waitress showed us the note, we didn’t understand that they had paid our whole bill, so we didn’t get to thank them before they left.

IN MEMORY

Marlene Tate Marlene Tate, 79, of Depoe Bay, Ore., passed away on September 19, 2020 in her apartment in Gresham, Ore. Marlene was married to Jim Tate for 44 years.

Jim and Marlene were co-founders of Dockside Charters and they were instrumental in establishing Depoe Bay as the Whale Watching Capital of the World.

She was born Marlene Lou Schmitz in 1941 in Bremerton, Wash. Her parents were Louis and Myrtle

Junction, Colorado.

Jack Silver Corning Jax Corning and Courtney Smith of Depoe Bay would like to announce the arrival of their son Jack Silver Corning.

Jack was born at 5:03 a.m. on November 8, 2020 at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. He weighed nine pounds, seven ounces and measured 21 inches long.

Celebrating the arrival are grandparents Bob and Cheryl Reynolds of Lake Oswego, Ore. and Tim and Darlene Freerks of Woodland, Wash.

Submission deadline for Obituaries is 12 p.m. on the Friday before publication.

(Land) Schmitz. The family later moved to Tillamook, Ore. where Marlene graduated from Tillamook High School in 1960.

After their marriage, Jim and Marlene moved to Depoe Bay in 1976 to start their charter fishing business. Marlene also worked as a banker at Chinook Winds Casino from 1995 until 2010.

After Jim’s death in 2012, Marlene moved to retirement communities first in Lincoln City, then in Gresham.

She is survived by her

brother Larry Schmitz of Redmond, Ore., her niece Colleen Mohr of Tillamook, her three step-sons Michael, Patrick, and Thomas, seven grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.

COVID-19 has disrupted plans for a memorial service, but the family is planning a celebration of Marlene’s life, hopefully next summer. A memorial bench in Marlene & Jim’s memory has been commissioned to be placed near the seawall in Depoe Bay.

We hope they or someone who knows them reads this.

Community Coming Together

diately, and have worked toward moving there ever since. We were so distressed to hear and read about the fires in September that threatened and displaced residents, and we have been monitoring the alert service for ways to help.

Our house there incurred minor damage in the accompanying winds.

We live in Indiana, so we were at a loss as to how to begin repairs from 2400 miles away. But we have discovered much good in the community as a result.

A neighbor has volunteered many hours to guide repair efforts. Local service providers responded quickly, and all work was completed with stellar results. Lincoln City administrators are also helping to determine whether our house risks future damage.

Everyone has been so kind and helpful! Our experience has further assured us that we made the right decision two years ago.

We deeply appreciate the following individuals and firms for their help, and their great work quality and service ethic: Dean Coppage, Steve Hamon, Debbie Williams, Blue Sky Tree Service, Knottworks Construction, TopLine Roofing, Michael’s Appliance Service, Double U Enterprises, City of Lincoln City (Jeanne Sprague and Abby Edwards).

We have loved Lincoln City from afar for two years. We have learned much about the spirit of the community through the reactions of those who helped us overcome our situation. We hope that others who faced damage or loss much greater than ours are finding their points of light.

We discovered Lincoln City two years ago, purchased a house imme-

Thank You from the Tillamook County Democrats We want to thank Debbie Booth-Schmidt and Melissa Cribbins for running for state legislature representing Tillamook County.

They provided important perspectives on issues like workers rights, education, conservation, healthcare and COVID recovery that wouldn’t have been discussed had they not run. Whether you’re a Republican or a Democrat, seeking positive change for our community by running for public office is extremely patriotic.

Regardless of who you voted for, we’re all on the same team.

We the Democrats of Tillamook County wish Republicans Suzanne Weber and Dick Anderson success representing us in the Oregon state legislature. In return, we expect them to listen to, represent and show up for those in our community who did not vote for them.

We believe that’s the way forward in these divisive times that are concerning for us all.

COVID-19 cases on the rise, Gov. Brown takes step back MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia. net

The Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) COVID-19 Weekly Report last week showed that during the week of Monday, Oct. 26, through Sunday, Nov. 1, OHA recorded 3,542 new cases of COVID-19 infection—up 34 percent from last week’s tally of 2,642.

It was the second consecutive week daily case counts set a record high for the pandemic.

The number of newly tested Oregonians rose to 34,591 and the percentage of positive tests rose sharply to 8.4 percent.

Due to the sudden spike Oregon Governor Kate Brown announced some new measures, pausing social activities in counties where community transmission is on the rise.

These pause measures will be in effect for two weeks, from Nov. 11 through Nov. 25, for Baker, Clackamas, Malheur, Marion, Multnomah, Jackson, Umatilla, Union and Washington Counties. Based on increasing statewide case counts, as well as increased sporadic case rates in these five counties, the new public health measures to reduce spread are an effort to save lives in Oregon.

“It is alarming that recent high case rates are not linked to any specific outbreaks, but rather reflective of sporadic community spread,” said Gov. Brown. “We are seeing in real time how this virus can quickly

snowball out of control. This Two-Week Pause is a series of measures and recommendations intended to curb human contact — both through reducing the amount of people we interact with, and the frequency of those encounters. We must stop this virus from spreading.

We must preserve our hospital capacity. And we must save lives.”

The Two-Week Pause measures include: - Urging all businesses to mandate work from home to the greatest extent possible.

- Pausing long-term care facility visits that take place indoors to protect staff and residents.

- Reducing maximum restaurant capacity to 50 people (including customers and staff ) for indoor dining, with a maximum party size of six. Continuing to encourage outdoor dining and take out.

- Reducing the maximum capacity of other indoor activities to 50 people (includes gyms, fitness organizations/ studios, bowling alleys, ice rinks, indoor sports, pools, and museums).

- Limiting social gatherings to your household, or no more than six people if the gathering includes those from outside your household, reducing the frequency of those social gatherings (significantly in a twoweek period), and keeping the same six people in your social gathering circle.

The Two-Week Pause is

staff/volunteer that attended or worked during their infectious or exposure period.

Gov. Brown also made note of her work in getting financial relief to Oregonians who are in need.

“I am also calling on Congress to pass another COVID-19 relief package immediately when they return to DC—including another $600 weekly benefit in enhanced Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation—due to the increase of COVID-19 cases and the need for rollbacks both here in Oregon and nationwide,” Gov. Brown said.

Kate Brown announced a two-week reopening pause for some Oregon counties that are rising in COVID-19 cases, Lincoln County was not included. being instituted in counties with a case rate above 200 per 100,000 people over a two-week period, or more than 60 cases over a two-week period for counties with less than 30,000 people. These measures replace the County Watch List process that Governor Brown instituted in July.

Also on OHA’s Weekly Report showed 37 Oregonians dying in association with COVID-19, up from 27 the previous week. 160 individuals were also hospitalized during that week.

People aged 20 to 49 accounted for the largest percentage of infection at 56 percent, despite accounting for 39

percent of the total population.

Persons under 30 accounted for 38 percent of the cases.

People over 80 accounted for 50 percent of COVID-19 associated deaths and people over 70 accounted for 74 percent of deaths associated with the illness.

Schools are not major drivers of COVID-19 spread across Oregon, OHA reported.

Cases are appearing at schools because there is more community spread. The Weekly Report reflects the statewide trend of sharply rising cases, with 13 schools providing in-school instruction that that had at least one case in a student or

Lincoln County Lincoln County has seen minimal change in their case count s since the start of November, reporting just seven new cases.

Lincoln County Public Health is partnering with Medical Teams International and the Oregon Health Authority to offer free drive-through and walk-up COVID-19 testing in four locations in the county.

Testing at these events will involve a pain-free, self-administered nasal swab to detect COVID-19 infections; it does not offer the antibody test.

The North County event is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 12 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the Lincoln City 6 Movie Theater: 3755 SE High School Dr., Lincoln City.

“Our heart goes out to our neighbors who are faced with so many challenges right now,” Cindi Fostveit, President of

Lincoln City Rotary Club, said this about the Re-Tool event. “We hope that our ReTool grants will help ease some burdens and bring some smiles! I am proud to be a Rotarian and am thankful for our community that supports our Club and our endeavors so we can continue to

school under Hybrid, the Comprehensive Distance Learning model for that grade is no longer available,” Dr. Karen Gray said.

“We will be supporting our teachers in providing high-quality hybrid instruction, and the comprehensive distance learning model will come to an end.

“Teachers cannot be asked to teach under two different instructional models at the same time. It is simply not possible, and the state requires in-person instruction if the district is

eligible with our metrics.”

Dr. Gray said students who are under isolation or quarantine orders will still be able to access instruction through the Hybrid Model, as well as individuals at high risk who have documentation from a medical provider.

If parents do not wish to return their child or children to school in the in-person Hybrid model, they can move to LCSD’s fully online program, Edmentum. Parents need to let the school know of any such decision as soon as possible. For

all students, any changes to the student’s current instructional model for Term 2 must be decided by Thursday, Nov. 19.

“As we review the updated protocols for in-person instruction, we know there is much to consider before transitioning into a Hybrid learning model for all students,” Dr. Gray said.

“We need to evaluate our planned cohorts to ensure class sizes that can accommodate the required social distancing in our schools…

We are staggering the return of students in order to en-

sure a careful and systematic approach.

“Student and staff safety is essential to us, and we want to do this as carefully as we can and still have our kids back in school successfully.”

Dates for return are as follows: • Grades 2-3 return on Nov. 9 • Grades 4-5 return on Nov. 23 • Grades 6,7,9 return on Nov. 30 • Grades 8, 10-12 return on Dec. 7 Before returning to the

classroom, Dr. Gray said all parents need to make sure that they have updated their schools with their children’s most up to date medical information, as well as updating their schools with the most up to date contact information for each of their children.

“We are very explicitly watching for these primary COVID-19 symptoms every day at school: Cough, fever (temperature of 100.4°F or higher) or chills, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, or new loss of taste or smell,” Dr. Gray said. “If your child

has any of these symptoms (unrelated to a chronic condition) you will need to come to get your child right away. Please keep your child home if they have any signs of an infectious disease.

“Thank you all very much for your patience and understanding. It has been a tough road for everyone, and I think we are getting set for a positive move forward this school year.”

Pair of Sea turtles wash ashore near Lincoln City THE NEWS GUARD

Two Olive Ridley sea turtles have been found on Oregon beaches within the past month, indicating a change in ocean conditions and the potential for more strandings as winter approaches.

An adult female Olive Ridley sea turtle was reported stranded on a beach in Lincoln City earlier this week. The Marine Mammal Stranding Network responded and the turtle was brought to the Oregon Coast Aquarium for assessment and standard triage protocols. Unfortunately, the turtle passed shortly after its arrival.

While the turtle showed no external injuries, it was severely emaciated and had a temperature of 58°F, which is

The stranded turtle was preceded by another female Olive Ridley, who was also found near Lincoln City in early October. The

turtle was reported to Oregon State Police and then transported to the Aquarium, where it passed hours later. The turtle was weak and cold-stunned, which is typical for stranded turtles.

complications that are difficult to identify and resolve. It can lead to malnourishment, susceptibility to external injuries, and organ damage. The process of raising a sea turtle’s body temperature is risky as well; it must be slow and steady to ensure the animal’s system is not shocked.

Strandings may occur prior to winter as turtles fail to migrate back to warmer waters before temperatures drop, but they typically occur during winter when tumultuous ocean conditions are at their peak. Sea turtles are pushed northward into colder waters and become stunned, preventing them from eating or navigating effectively. At that point, sea turtles are at the mercy of the crashing waves until they wash ashore.

If you find a sea turtle on the beach, immediately note its location, remain nearby to observe it, and contact the Oregon State Police Tipline at 800-452-7888 or the Marine Mammal Stranding Network (MMSN) in Oregon, Washington, and California at 1-866-767-6114.

When stranded turtles are reported and transported to the Aquarium, Aquarium staff assess the animal and take measures to stabilize it, with the ultimate goal of rehabilitation and release.

While the odds of successfully rehabilitating stranded sea turtles are low, the Aquarium will continue these efforts to save endangered species, with the hope that even one saved turtle can help species recovery.

City continues discussions on emergency preparedness MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

The City of Lincoln City once again held discussions about emergency preparedness and communication options following the Echo Mountain Complex fire in September.

During the Nov. 9 City Council meeting, Lincoln City Emergency Preparedness Coordinator Ken Murphy presented a few recommendations for actions that can be made by the City. “This is our insurance policy, to an extent, that will help the City survive an event and be able to

try to provide the citizens and visitors with things they may need to survive,�

Murphy said.

Murphy opened his presentation by advising that when any decision is made, the City needs to take into account all disasters, not just wildfires.

Murphy said there isn’t a one sized fits all solution to scenarios they may face.

He opened by discussing communications, which are often dependent on internet, cell towers and power in general.

Murphy suggested potentially utilizing handheld radios, as well as satellite radios.

The City has been urged to look into using

radio stations for emergency communication.

However, Murphy said local stations are all privately owned and none of them own generators.

Councilor Riley Hoagland asked if the City could consider purchasing a radio frequency, which Murphy said he will look into.

Utilizing websites, social media and other online sites are also an option for the City. Murphy recommended to the Council that they hire a Public Information Officer that will be dedicated to updating these sites fulltime.

Other communication systems discussed as pos-

sibilities included amateur radio stations, TV stations, and tsunami sirens. However, Murphy cautioned about changing tones in the tsunami sirens that could cause confusion.

The Lincoln Alerts communication system has been an topic of discussion as several Lincoln County residents reported that the system did not work during the wildfire event. Murphy said the data has not yet been released but they will be looking at that data and finding ways to improve it, possibly by adding a localized option for the City.

Murphy also discussed evacuation planning, stating that he recom-

mends using the Level 1, 2, 3 system in all emergency situations. “It’s simple to remember and simple to use,�

Murphy said.

Murphy would also like to continue education on evacuation and working with the lodging and retail industries to betting inform visitors from out of town. “We could test it, but people are going to do what people are going to do,â€? Murphy said of evacuation planning. “A good example is seeing people take all their cars, all their RVs when they evacuate‌ it’s just human nature. But we can put together a plan and educate people.â€?

Councilor Rick Mark recommended incorporating utilizing alternative roads during evacuation, such as S Drift Creek Rd. and Siletz Highway.

Hoagland recommended creating evacuation events for the community.

Lastley, Murphy created a full plan for a 24/7 Emergency Operations Center (EOC), that could be enacted during an emergency situation. Murphy recommends the use of EOC for any events that may affect the City, even outside of the City limits.

The City Council will continue to mull options for improving communications and planning.
