In October, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) granted Direct Housing Assistance to provide temporary housing for hundreds of Oregonians displaced by the wildfires in September.

Though six Oregon counties applied for FEMA’s assistance, only three counties received it, not including Lincoln County.

Last week, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners continued to push for housing assistance for victims of the Echo Mountain Complex fire, which destroyed nearly 300 homes in the North Lincoln County area. The Commissioners wrote a letter to FEMA asking them to reconsider.

“This option must be included along with other assistance alternatives and resources to fully meet needed housing for victims of wildfires in Lincoln County,” the Commissioners wrote. “A significant number of the properties destroyed were pre2004 vintage manufactured homes. Some of these were occupied by lower-income senior citizens. Many provided residences for workers in the hospitality/service industries

King Tides Are On The Way COURTESY PHOTO/STEVE MOREY

This year, the three sequences of “king tides” that will be the focus of the project take place November 15-17, 2020; December 13-15, 2020; and January 11-13, 2021.

THE NEWS GUARD

Every year in early winter, tides on the Oregon Coast are higher than usual.

These extreme high tides, commonly called “King Tides,” occur at a few specific times during the year when the moon’s orbit comes closest to the earth, the earth’s orbit is closest to the sun, and the sun, moon and earth are in alignment, thereby increasing their gravitational influence on the tides.

These tidal events are also known as perigean spring tides. And every winter for the past decade, a growing network of volunteer photographers has documented the highest point reached by these highest of tides.

The hundreds of photos they take capture a moment in the interaction between land and sea which up until now has been rare, but is likely to become far more typical. The images reveal current vulnerabilities to flooding. Even more important, they

Despite several days of record high reported COVID-19 cases, the State of Oregon and Oregon Department of Education (ODE) has adjusted their reopening schools metrics, which will allow some students to return back to the classroom.

The new metrics are based on the latest COVID-19 studies and data by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), align to CDC recommendations, are in line with standards in other states like California and help Oregon meet its priority to return students to in-person instruction.

“Over the course of just a few months, life has transformed,” Governor Kate Brown said in press conference Oct. 30.

“From the very first case of COVID-19 in Oregon, I have continued to use science to guide my decision making. My top priority has been and will always

adhere to the health and safety protocols now in place in Oregon.

“Guided by data, these metrics offer an intentional and measured approach to returning to in-person instruction while recognizing the importance of meeting our kids’ academic needs— and allow for in-person instruction in places of our state where the risk of COVID-19 is lower.

They also set a North Star for the rest of the state to work toward,” said ODE Director Colt Gill. “We all know that in-person instruction provides our children and families with more than access to an equitable education. Schools are a center of services to students and families, offering nutritious meals, access to social-emotional and mental health supports, as well as physical health services.”

Key changes to the metrics include: - A clear set of reachable targets for communities to strive for, with a

Since Oregon’s metrics were originally issued in August, more data has become available from school districts across the country. ODE worked with the Oregon Health Authority to establish when students can return to the classroom while still mitigating the risk of COVID-19 spread.

“What we as a country have learned, is that

essentially, it is impossible to work from home and teach your children a full day’s worth of school at the same time,” Gov. Brown said.

A key lesson from the review of national school data is that Oregon school districts can help protect student and staff health and well-being during in -person instruction when community spread is sufficiently low and when school districts strictly

- Acknowledgement that Oregon’s Ready Schools, Safe Learners guidance’s strong public health protocols in structured settings like schools, can greatly reduce the risk of transmission of COVID-19.

- Additional time for schools to transition between in-person and distance learning models.

- Increased access to in-person instruction at the elementary level.

- A two Week “Look Back” at the Metrics Data rather than one week at a time over a three week period.

- Removes State Positivity Rate in favor of county positivity rates.

“These metrics depend on the public doing its part to reduce Oregon’s case rates so that all of our children can return to in-person instruction,” Gill said. “Oregonians can reduce spread and send our kids back to school by wearing a face covering, maintaining distance, washing hands frequently, and avoiding group gatherings.”

Gov. Brown reiterated that the vast majority of students will not be able to return to class, even under these new metrics.

Dealing With The Pandemic: Are the kids OK? JEREMY C. RUARK Staff Writer

The COVID-19 pandemic is especially adverse for children, according to Kaiser Permanente Northwest pediatricians, who said they are seeing significant weight gain in children as they come in for their annual wellchild physicals.

Inactivity, lack of sports, play, physical education (PE), stress, and unhealthy eating habits are combining to reverse recent improvements in childhood obesity rates, the doctors report. The percentage of children considered obese is expected to jump in 2020, after declining slightly in the past 10 years.

Remote Learning Downside “Many kids are doing a lot of online learning and that is contributing to them being very sedentary,” Kaiser Permanente Northwest Chief of Pediatrics Dr. Lisa Denike said.

Schools that are offering online physical education classes and the few that have in-person PE classes is encouraging, Denike said, because that allows children to have some physical activity during their day.

Denike also encourages parents to take their children for daily walks around the block or at local parks.

“That gives the family a chance to get outside, get some fresh air and spend time together,” she said.

“Not only does that give the kids some physical activity, it gets them off their screens and gives them

Pediatricians are find that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted children physically, mentally and emotionally. direction time as well.”

For both parents and children, high stress and anxiety resulting from the pandemic can lead to eating disorders, according to Denike, who recommends that parents follow regular scheduled meal times and help their children avoid grazing or snacking in-between those meals.

“That can be really helpful to avoid that extra calorie intake,” she said.

Denike said the added responsibility of being a parent, working and being a teacher at home due to the pandemic can be very challenging and hard at the end of the day to plan and develop healthy meals and that leads many to seek quick fast-food meals or having processed food delivered that a family may not otherwise eat.

Lifelong Impact

Without the needed daily physical activity, Denike said children face obesity and that could lead to inducing COVID infections and other serious health issues.

“As kids become more obese, they increase their chances of contracting Type 2 diabetes and prior to COVID we were seeing more and more of that develop,” she said. “Developing that during childhood can lead to lifelong serious diseases developing in later adulthood, such as kidney problems, high blood pressure and heart disease.”

Practice Family Routines Doctors are also seeing a rise in mental health issues among children and teens, ranging from sadness and stress to anxiety and depression.

“The first thing we all need to do is to take a breath and acknowl-

edge how difficult these times are for everyone right now,” she said.

‘This is a huge change for us. So, look at developing strategies and what is in your control and what can you can do. Focus on responsibilities at home and the practical things that can be accomplished.”

Denike encourages parents to work with their children and write down sleeping, meal and activity schedules on a chart and place that chart on a wall for all to see and to follow.

“Having a schedule that parents can reinforce is a huge help,” she said. “That’s in our control and the more that we have in our control the better we will feel. Our kids will feel that as well. When we are stressed, they feel that.”

Pandemic Anxiety, Stress The Kaiser Permanente Northwest doctors said they are also seeing a rise in mental health issues among children and teens, ranging from sadness and stress to anxiety and depression. Denike said the pandemic could also provide an opportunity for parents to practice resilience.

“It gives us a chance to talk with our children about what they are afraid of and what they are worried about and to reassure them, and goes a really long way,” Denike said.

“Being together more and to communicate is positive, letting your children know that you may have some worries too, and helping them learn positive coping skills to ease their concerns is very helpful.”

Denike encourages parents

to be aware of the social media that their children may have access to.

“Know what social media platforms your children have access to,” she said. “Just because it is online doesn’t mean it is factual. Just starting there is important and it is important to check in with your kids and give some undivided time every day, even if it is just a few minutes.”

Denike recommends that parents check the American Academy of Pediatrics website, aap.org, which offers valuable information about social media and other topics to keep children safe and healthy.

“It is important for us to use the upcoming holidays to build new traditions with our families,” Denike said. “Kids love to be creative, so talking with your kids about new traditions that you can have with your family is a good way to stay connected during the pandemic.”

Through family conversations and checking resources, Denike said she believes parents and children will be able to develop concrete and tangible solutions for their well-being during the pandemic and any other challenging times.

Kaiser Permanente is one of the nation’s largest not-forprofit health plans, serving 12.4 million members. In the Northwest, it has medical offices and outpatient facilities in Portland, Eugene and Salem.

County grant supports Panther Creek cleanup efforts THE NEWS GUARD

A $7,500 challenge grant from Lincoln County will support the continuation

of a large scale volunteer cleanup effort that began this week in the Panther Creek neighborhood that was ravaged in last months’

Lincoln City’s largest and most trusted news source.

Echo Mountain complex wildfire.

On Monday, Oct. 26, a volunteer cleanup effort began that was organized by

neighborhood resident Corey Rivera, who lost his own home in the fire. Dozens of volunteers have descended on the neighborhood at a staging area on North Pony Trail Road, many with heavy equipment and chain saws.

A mobile kitchen has been set up to feed the volunteers, who have come from all over the Northwest.

In a matter of days, several tons of steel have been cut and moved, many tons of green waste has been burned, fire waste has been bagged for legal disposal, and countless damaged trees have been dropped.

The operation will continue through this weekend and beyond if resources are available. Although all labor and meals are being donated, there are out-of-pocket expenses, such as equip-

In order to support continuation of the cleanup effort beyond this week, Lincoln County is providing a $7,500 challenge grant, and

encouraging community members to join in supporting this effort.

“I’ve met dozens of survivors of the fire who feel powerless to control their future, even their lives,” said Bethany Grace Howe, Wildfire Resource Navigator for the Olalla Center. “Corey, through his faith in God, his family, his neighbors, and his community, has given many people back a sense of hope and purpose. More, he’s started something that all of us can play a part in continuing to support.”

Individuals or groups who would like to donate to the continuation of the cleanup effort through Cascade Relief Team, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

LCSD to offer 36 free slots in Early Childhood Learning THE NEWS GUARD

The Oregon Department of Education Early Learning Division has awarded Lincoln County School District $465,000 in the initial round of funding of Preschool Promise grants, which were part of the Student Investment Account application process.

These funds will allow LCSD to offer 36 free slots in their early childhood learning programs in all four areas of the county to families who are within 200 percent of the Federal Poverty level beginning November 2.

Preschool Promise is a model for a publicly-funded, high-quality preschool system.

Preschool Promise leverages high-quality, local, and culturally-relevant early child care and education programs and makes them available to children living

at 200 percent of the poverty level. By incorporating a mixed delivery approach, which recognizes that high quality early learning experiences can take place in a wide variety of settings, Preschool Promise provides opportunities for families to access and choose the preschool setting which best meets their needs.

Lauren Sigman, Early Learning Coordinator for LCSD helped to prepare the grant request and oversees the early childhood development program for Lincoln County School District’s program.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to be able to provide free high-quality preschool to the many children in our community who generally are not able to access these services,” Sigman said. “We are fortunate to be joined by other programs in our County who were also

“We are also excited to continue our partnership with the LBL-ESD Early Childhood Special Education program in order to provide an inclusive program for all children.”

The funding will be used to pay for staff, supplies, curriculum and other program operating costs which are usually funded using the income from tuition charged to families.

Having this funding will allow LCSD to continue to operate a high-quality early learning program without having to charge families who qualify for free tuition.

The slots will be awarded through a coordinated enrollment process led by the Linn,

in Lincoln City who could not afford to live with the city limits.”

In the aftermath of the wildfires, the American Red Cross Cascades Region has stepped up to house most of the fire-impacted individuals in motels in the greater Lincoln City area, as most had no other housing resources available to them. The Red Cross reports that only a handful of the individuals who they have been housing and feeding have been able to transition to other living arrangements. As of Monday, Oct. 19, they had 299 individuals still temporarily placed in motel rooms.

“As previously stated, many of these individuals and families are low

income,” the Commissioners said.

“Many were renters and many of those who owned their homes were either uninsured or underinsured. These people have been suddenly thrust into a market where there was already a critical shortage of decent, safe and affordable rental housing.

“Real estate and property management professionals in the county have said for years that our rental vacancy rate is less than one percent. Even with assistance at above fair market rates there is simply no place for all these people to go once the Red Cross concludes its mission here.”

Following FEMA’s original decision to grant Direct Housing Assistance to

Jackson, Linn and Marion Counties in October, FEMA representatives said housing solutions in this mission are tailored to the individual needs and situations of survivors based on how quickly their homes can be repaired to a safe, sanitary and secure condition, and the availability of housing options in their communities.

Direct Housing Assistance is a program available through FEMA’s Individual and Household Program (IHP). The FEMA temporary housing program provides housing for up to 18 months after a disaster declaration.

Commonly, FEMA’s disaster housing programs pay for rental of apartments and homes and for immediate home

repairs.

“There needs to be additional options available to accommodate the expected need,” said the Commissioners.

“To the extent that having identified sites for placement of FEMA manufactured housing or other housing is an important element in your decisionmaking process we want to assure you that county elected leadership and staff has already been working on this question, and multiple potential sites in the greater Lincoln City area have been identified.”

The Board of Commissioners will now await the response from FEMA representatives.

Holding The City Accountable I’m Fran, a Lincoln City resident and one of the chief petitioners for the Initiative petition to repeal ordinance 202020 that is projected to cut millions of dollars of funding for our firefighters and EMT paramedics.

Our requirement was to deliver 693 valid signatures of Lincoln City voters by September 9th.

But on September 7th the Fires broke out and our city was ordered to evacuate and power was shut off.

We then requested an extension but were denied and Mayor Anderson signed the ordinance into

law on September 10th while the fires were still burning.

So on October 7th we had to file new paperwork to repeal ordinance 202020 and have our petition signers re-sign the signature forms.

And now as we are reviewing the ballot text that the city attorney has provided us it appears to

have violated state law.

We filed an initiative petition, not a referendum.

For our Initiative petition, ORS 250.035(1)(b) requires the question to be worded so that a “yes” vote corresponds to the purpose of the measure, which is to repeal Ordinance 2020-20..

These potential illegal

actions by our City Council and Mayor are allowing city staff to deliver to us citizens should make us question who benefits from these errors and delays while there are only days left before the election.

Fran Lonnon, Lincoln City

Publisher’s Column: Journalism has never been more important Weekly newspapers carry the news and views of communities reported on by decent people with local passion.

“Journalism exists to keep the people informed. It exists to spread knowledge and, yes, it exists to provide viewpoints from many different perspectives, to provide the fuel that people in a democracy need to take part in their governments.”

The staff at The News Guard have no desire to spread falsehoods. We are your neighbors, friends or maybe even your rela-

tives. We’re local journalists who are dedicated men and women who work hard each and every day to educate and tell your story.

To paint all journalist with one broad stroke as fake news or the enemy of the people is irresponsible and dangerous to a free society.

The News Guard plays an important role as the community watchdog, holding government in check and shining the light on all the actions of our governors.

That is the intention of the First Amendment.

“…Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.”

- Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States of America, 1787 It is my philosophy that a weekly newspaper should promote its community and should inform on issues that are relevant to people and the community as a whole. Understanding and capturing the diverse interests within

Lincoln County and advocating for good government are things we do not take lightly.

We advocate for groups and organizations that disagree to get together and encourage working together.

“Journalism matters because democracy matters. The two are inseparable.”

Column: It’s time to review your Medicare coverage Medicare’s annual Open Enrollment season is underway, and I want to encourage all people with Medicare to review their current health and prescription drug coverage.

Medicare Advantage plan premiums have fallen to historic lows, dropping an average of 34% over the last three years. Many plans are offering a new insulin benefit that limits the maximum cost to $35 for a 30-day supply. By shopping around, you may be able to save money and find a plan that better meets your needs.

Open Enrollment runs through Dec. 7 each year.

This is the time when you can change your Medicare health or drug coverage for the following year. You can switch to Original Medicare, or join or change a Medicare Advantage plan or Part D prescription drug plan. Any new coverage you select takes effect Jan. 1, 2021.

There are important differences between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage. Here’s a brief summary: With Original Medicare, you can go to any doctor or hospital that ac-

cepts Medicare, anywhere in the U.S. In most cases, you don’t need a referral to see a specialist.

For services covered under Medicare Part B, you usually pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount after you meet your deductible. You also pay a monthly premium for Part B. If you choose to join a Part D drug plan, you’ll pay an additional monthly premium.

There’s no yearly limit on what you pay out-ofpocket, unless you have supplemental coverage, such as Medicare Supplement Insurance, also known as Medigap.

Medigap can help pay your remaining out-ofpocket costs (like your

20% coinsurance). Or you can use coverage from a former employer or union, or Medicaid.

Original Medicare covers most medically necessary services and supplies in hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other health care settings. It doesn’t cover some benefits, including vision and most dental care.

Medicare Advantage Plans are offered by private insurers that provide your Medicare Part A and B benefits, in many cases through a managed network, similar to an HMO. In many cases, you’ll need to use doctors and other providers in the plan’s network and service area to get the lowest out-of-pocket costs.

HMO model plans won’t cover providers outside the plan’s network and service area unless certain exceptions apply, such as emergency services.

You may need to get a referral to see a specialist, even if the specialist is in your plan’s network.

Out-of-pocket costs for Medicare Advantage vary, and plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs for certain services.

You may have to pay a monthly plan premium in addition to your monthly Part B premium. Some

plans may have a $0 premium or may help pay all or part of your Part B premiums.

Plans have a yearly limit on what you pay outof-pocket for services covered under Medicare Part A and Part B. Once you reach your plan’s limit, you pay nothing for services covered by Part A and Part B for the rest of the year.

Health Matters

by Samaritan Health Services

Special Olympics competitor sets goals and perseveres over challenges Anthony Pollard, of Lebanon, has been through a lot in his 35 years, and he enjoys where he is now. He has several pet chickens, all with their own names, and he loves growing their food in his garden. He also enjoys making pickles out of the cucumbers he grows as well as doing yard work for people in Lebanon.

insertion, Pollard said his doctors had a frank conversation about his choices.

“They told me that I’d escaped death twice at that point, and did I really want to live?” Pollard remembered. “So I made changes at that point.

I started treatment at Community Outreach (in Corvallis) and I’ve been clean and sober since May 3, 2011.”

“Chickens are really smart,” Pollard said.

“People don’t think they are, but they have good memories. They remember sounds and they know their names. And they’re the only pet that can give you breakfast.”

Pollard credits his faith, caretaker Lance Kropf and Pastor Ted Boatsman for helping him get clean. However, his health journey has continued, with seven more procedures to adjust the shunt in his brain.

He also loves weightlifting at SamFit. Before COVID-19 forced the gym to close temporarily last spring, Pollard was making great strides in his deadlifting and squatting. A Special Olympics competitor in golf and bowling, he was planning on competing in powerlifting as well.

“Weightlifting is a team sport in some ways, and in other ways it’s not,” he said. “I can listen to my coaches and do everything they say, but I can’t pass the weight off to a teammate. It’s all about what you put into it, but you get to see the progress you make.”

Pollard has put in a lot of hard work to get to this point, due to a neurological condition he has had throughout his life. As a child, he had a large head and battled a lot of headaches.

“I also had problems with my gait, but that happened after I had a knee injury, so they chalked my gait problems up to that injury,” he said.

When Pollard was 13, his doctor misdiagnosed him with essential tremors. That sent Pollard into a downward spiral.

“My doctor told me that most people don’t get diagnosed with essential tremors until their 80s, and they don’t usually live long after that,” Pollard said. “They said I probably only had until I was 18. I decided that if I only had five

“Every adjustment basically resets my brain,” he said. “I had a bad reset after my last surgery in 2019, and I still wasn’t able to walk six months after the surgery.”

years to live, why not do everything I’m not supposed to do?”

So Pollard got into drugs and other unhealthy behaviors. That continued into his 20s, even after he was correctly diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which is a fluid buildup in the cavities of the brain.

“I finally got my diagnosis because I had lost the ability to walk, and I had terrible shakes in all my extremities,” he remembered.

Since that diagnosis, Pollard has undergone multiple procedures to drain the fluid from his brain.

“After my third surgery, I was still addicted to drugs, and I skipped my six-month follow-up,” he said. “About a year later, I kept collapsing, so they put a shunt (drain tube) in my brain.”

These surgeries took place at Oregon Health & Science University. Following the shunt

It was at that point that Pollard started working with several trainers at SamFit and Samaritan Athletic Medicine (The SAM). He has also received care from physicians and physical, occupational and speech therapists.

“Through all of their work with me, I’m walking again,” he said. “I was doing great with my weightlifting before everything shut down.”

While the COVID-19 pandemic stalled his progress, it hasn’t dampened his spirit. Pollard figures his deadweight max has dropped, but he kept up with a lot of his treatment virtually. He also continued to do gardening work.

What’s next for Pollard? He returned to SamFit in May when the facilities reopened, excited to pick up where he left off with his weight training. In the meantime, Anthony’s chickens are content and he’s making good use of the cucumbers he harvested from his garden.

Diabetes and holiday feasts can co-exist in moderation Most people with diabetes have an established routine that helps them keep their blood sugars under control. These routines can involve specific meal plans and daily exercise habits.

Those healthy choices can go out the window during the holidays, especially food-centered holidays like Thanksgiving. This year may look different because of COVID-19 precautions, but many of us will still want to enjoy traditional holiday foods – and we tend to crave pumpkin pie, mashed potatoes and gravy!

But there’s no need to panic or throw in the towel, said Tim Arakawa, MD, of Samaritan Endocrinology.

“For holiday meals, start with a large salad first and go easy on the dressing,” Dr. Arakawa

suggested. “After filling up with your fiber-filled appetizer, you can nibble on your Thanksgiving favorites. Be careful with carb-heavy and refined dishes like mashed potatoes or candied yams and resist the urge for seconds. You can always eat leftovers the next day.”

Dr. Arakawa also recommends a light walk after the main meal, to naturally lower blood sugar levels. Heading outdoors is also a good way to spend quality time with extended family or friends in physically distanced ways.

“Ultimately, the Thanksgiving menu becomes a delicious bonus when we make the holiday about gratitude for the blessings around us,” he said. “And if your blood sugar isn’t where you’d like it to be, there’s always the blessing of tomorrow.”

Tides From page A1

grassroots effort to document coastal areas flooded by the highest winter tides.

It started in Australia (where such extreme high-water events are called “king tides,” hence the name). In 2009, the highest tide in over 18 years was predicted there.

Australians organized a photo event to document the effect of the tide on low-lying areas; the first-year project received more than 2,000 photographs.

In 2010, West Coast states, including Oregon, began to document their king tides. In 2012, the project spread to the East Coast and continues to expand today.

Here in Oregon, the King Tides Project has been developed and coordinated by the CoastWatch Program of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, and the Oregon Coastal Management Program, and branch of the Department of Land Conservation and Development. From modest beginnings, the project has grown to the point that more than 100 volunteer photographers contributed more than 400 photos to the project’s archives last winter.

The goal of this citizen science project is to encourage Oregonians and visitors to submit photos they take of the king tides

Schools

to help track sea level rise over time and reveal its impacts on the Oregon Coast. The value of the project thus increases over time, as the record of changes caused by higher tides lengthens.

Photographers are also encouraged to take photos at average high tides from the identical vantage points of their “king tides” shots, for purposes of comparison.

Anyone can participate by taking a photo during the peak period of a king tide, anywhere on the outer coast or along estuaries or lower river valleys. Photos that show the highest stand of the tide with reference to a manmade structure or natural feature reveal the reach of the tide most clear. Participants then submit their photos through the project website (www.oregonkingtides. net).

For the 10-year anniversary of the project, a interactive web display was created to highlight the initiative through time. Many other partners support the project on-the-ground, such as watershed councils, non-profit groups, tourism groups, and public ports.

This year, the three sequences of “king tides” that will be the focus of the project take place November 15-17, 2020; December

13-15, 2020; and January 11-13, 2021.

Long-term monitoring is often an under-supported part of research and management. This project offers a unique opportunity to see change through time, while also giving a better understanding of what sea level rise might look like in our own backyard.

For example, Oregon’s King Tides photos have been used by agencies and researchers to ground truth important scientific models that are used to estimate where the high waters will reach and how they will impact the places we love.

“This helps build trust in these models and validate our understanding of what our coast will look like under changing conditions,”said representatives from the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition. “A picture is worth 1,000 words, and King Tides photos highlight how a rising sea or increased storm surge may impact familiar places in our communities.”

King Tides can impact the Oregon coast in several ways. High water levels can cause increased erosion on the beaches, which can lead to decreased beach access

(smaller beaches), vulnerable structures and infrastructure, and dangerous beach conditions.

Additionally, some communities experience coastal flooding from unusually high tides.

The City of Nehalem, for instance, experiences frequent flooding along its downtown corridor, which impacts travel and access to the main highway (Highway 101) as well. Agricultural lands along the Coquille River or Tillamook Bay also experience frequent flooding during high tides or heavy rains. The interactive web display mentioned above also highlights a few of Oregon’s estuaries and how they may be impacted by sea level rise in the future.

To get a better view of the project, browse the King Tides photo albums by season: https://www. flickr.com/photos/orkingtide/ albums. You don’t have to be a scientist to understand and help to document how sea level rise may impact places in our own communities. Of course, all participants are urged to take photos from a safe location, and to avoid putting themselves in danger while taking and submitting pictures.

The Oregon Coastal Management Program (OCMP) is a

networked program of coastal cities, counties, and state agencies working to protect Oregon’s estuaries, shorelands, beaches and dunes, and ocean resources.

The OCMP supports the implementation of the National Flood Insurance Program, which helps communities protect against the impacts of flooding. Additionally, the Program supports development standards that incorporate the best available science and management practices to protect coastal resources and limit development in hazardous areas.

CoastWatch, a project of the non-profit Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, organizes hundreds of volunteers who adopt one-mile segments of the Oregon shoreline, monitoring these stretches of coast for both natural changes and human impacts.

CoastWatch also organizes a number of citizen science projects, including the King Tides Project.

For more information, contact Meg Reed, Coastal Shores Specialist with the OCMP program, (541) 514-0091, meg.reed@state.or.us; or Jesse Jones, CoastWatch Volunteer Coordinator, (503) 989-7244, jesse@ oregonshores.org.

However, an estimated 130,000 students will potentially be able to return to in person instruction.

“We are making adjustments to the metrics based on our best judgements of science, they are not radical shifts,” Gov. Brown said.

Gill stated that when safety guidelines are followed in schools, schools are not super spreader sites, based on their data. In fact, Gill said they oftentimes are helpful in identifying individuals who may be sick.

ODE and OHA were among the very first states to create metrics for returning to in-person instruction in early August.

At that time they were based in large part on successes seen in other countries, as school was not in session in the U.S. Later, exceptions were added to make a return to in-person instruction possible for more students, where there was lower risk of COVID-19 transmission.

The metric updates take effect immediately. The guidance recommends that schools consider both equity and a methodical and cautious approach at the beginning that return a portion of the school population first and then add more students on-site over time. This will allow schools to build new safety routines, stabilize cohorts and avoid sudden, disruptive transitions back to Comprehensive Distance Learning due to quarantine or isolation.

“We must stay vigilant in our efforts to continue stopping the spread of COVID as we work towards reopening more schools,” Gov. Brown said. “I know we are all sick of hearing it, but that means we have to continue with more effort than ever before.

The hand washing, staying home when sick, mask wearing, getting a flu shot and avoiding gatherings.”

real stihl. find y o u r s. ƒ

Cases In Oregon OHA reported a record high 600 new confirmed and presumptive COVID-19 cases on Oct. 30, and released their newest modeling that includes three scenarios.

The first scenario assumes that if transmission continues at its current level into late November, new daily cases would increase from around 340 to 380 and new daily hospitalizations would number reach about 22. The more pessimistic scenario assumes a 5-percentage point increase in transmission, which if happens, would drive daily cases upward to about 520, with a steep increase in people who are hospitalized daily due to the virus. This would indicate vastly accelerated spread. The final and most optimistic scenario model assumes a drop in transmission to mid-August levels.

That would result in 230 reported cases and a steep drop in daily hospitalizations due

to COVID. This would signal considerably slower community spread.

“Oregonians have made huge sacrifices along the way and I’ve been humbled and impressed by all of you. Seven months later, we have learned a lot. One thing that is abundantly clear is that COVID is here to stay for the foreseeable future,” Gov. Brown said.

Gov. Brown urged Oregonians to take a step back and reflect on what they can do to limit the spread of the virus. She noted the state will continue focusing on increasing testing, contact tracing and launching a new educational campaign regarding social gatherings.

“Oregon’s cases are rising, much like the rest of the country, and frankly, cases around the globe,” Gov. Brown said. “The second wave that we’ve all been afraid of is here.”

Habitat for Humanity recruiting families for two homes THE NEWS GUARD

Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County (HFHLC) is jumping in to help address a critical housing shortage in Lincoln County that has been exacerbated by the loss of nearly 300 homes due the Echo Mountain Complex fire.

“Housing is a basic human need, and safe, decent, stable housing is critically important in our new reality where self-isolating is key to staying healthy,” said Lucinda Taylor, Executive Director of HFHLC. “From units for very-low income families to workforce housing, the need is only increasing and we will all be challenged to develop creative solutions that enjoy community support.”

Currently, HFHLC is recruiting partner families to purchase two new homes in Lincoln City.

Ground breaking in the Garden Estates area of the Palisades neighborhood is expected to begin in early 2021 with completion expected in late 2022. The size and number of bedrooms

for each home will be customized to the size of the selected partner family. Individuals and families of all sizes are encouraged to apply.

Applications are due by December 1, 2020 and the selection process will be complete by the end of January 2021.

Applications are available on the HFHLC website at habitatlincoln.org, from the ReStores in Lincoln City and Newport, and from the Habitat office by calling 541.574.4437 or emailing office@ habitatlincoln.org.

Partner families are selected based on need, ability to pay, and willingness to partner. To qualify, household income must fall between 45-60 percent of annual median income (AMI) for Lincoln County, based on household size. The household of one or more people must have a current need for affordable shelter, the ability to pay a mortgage based on 30 percent of gross annual income, and be willing to partner with HFHLC. Partnership requirements include putting in 350 to 500 hours

The partner family must also maintain their current level of income and not take on any new debt between the time they sign a partnership agreement and the time they close on the purchase of the home.

Building a Habitat Home is a community effort. The land

for this build was donated by Lincoln County and has a deed restriction that requires HFHLC to retain ownership of the land to ensure permanent affordability. By removing the cost of the land from the purchase price, it makes the home more affordable over time.

In an effort to continue addressing the need for more housing, the City of Lincoln City

CASA, Salvation Army partner for fundraiser THE NEWS GUARD

CASA of Lincoln and Tillamook Counties is partnering with The Salvation Army of Lincoln County for the first time for a collaborative holiday fundraiser.

“The City is thrilled that Habitat selected Lincoln City for their next project, and we’re delighted to support the addition of two new affordable home ownership opportunities in our community,” says City Economic Development Director, Alison Robertson.

Oregon Housing and Community Services through the Local Innovation Fast Track program, commonly referred to as LIFT funding, has awarded grant funds to support a portion of the project. However, like all Habitat builds, discounted and donated products and services from local businesses and contractors are needed, as well as many volunteer hours from individuals and organizations. HFHLC continues to raise funds and is accepting donations to help pay for materials and related expenses.

They are encouraged to submit a photo of their favorite decorated business in our contest and post it onto Pacific Northwest News & Entertainment’s Facebook page.

Fom December 1 through December 12, CASA is relying on the community to participate in voting for their favorite holiday decorations by posting pictures of their favorite decorated business listed onto @PNWNENews on Facebook.

The first 12 days of December CASA will be drawing a winner every day. The 12 winners will receive a gift basket from the CASA office.

Whichever business gets the most posts by December 12th will win our grand prize at the end of the month.

Since 1886, The Salvation Army in Oregon has provided help for the most basic needs of local residents without regard to race, creed, social status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or religion. The Salvation Army’s services include programs that help people transition from crisis to safety and stability—365 days a year.

CASA of Lincoln and Tillamook Counties has helped change the lives of more than 2,500 children by providing them with powerful advocacy. Currently CASA of Lincoln and Tillamook Counties serves nearly 200 children annually. Your involvement in this event can change a child’s story, CASA says.
