Lincoln City man accused of storming Capitol on Jan. 6 STAFF REPORT
F
BI agents arrested a Lincoln City man, Jeffrey W. Hubbard, at home the morning of Wednesday, Dec. 8. A criminal complaint charges Hubbard with four counts related to the U.S. Capitol violence on Jan. 6. Around Jan. 8, an anonymous tipster provided the FBI with a video that depicts individuals storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. The FBI were able to obtain several screenshots of individual rioters’ faces from the video, including a screenshot of an individual believed to be Hubbard. In a video, Hubbard is seen with a crowd of rioters in the U.S. Capitol building on Jan. 6, chanting with the crowd “Stop the Steal” and “We Want Trump,” according to the affidavit. Surveillance footage confirmed Hubbard’s presence. He is first seen at 2:22 p.m. climbing through a broken window
located next to the Senate Wing door on the northwest side of the Capitol. Over the course of the video, Hubbard moves through the crowds toward a group of uniformed law enforcement officers, who appear to be blocking the forward advancement of rioters, the affidavit states. A physical struggle took place. At one point, Hubbard appears to be pouring what seems to be water over his eyes. At 3:16 p.m. Hubbard appears to exit the U.S. Capitol. According to the complaint, the misdemeanor charges include entering and remaining in a restricted building/grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building/ grounds, conduct in a capitol building, and parading or demonstrating in a capitol building. Hubbard made his initial appearance before a federal judge on Dec. 8 and was released pending a future court date.

Ed Johann served in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945. At 17 years old, he traveled on the USS Holland, a submarine tender to Pearl Harbor. While on the hospital ship, the Japanese attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. Johann used a motor launch to rescue men from the USS Arizona, later receiving the Navy commendation medal with valor for his heroic efforts saving lives.
Pearl Harbor veteran, city councilman to be honored with naming plaza in Lincoln City after him HILARY DORSEY Editor
W
orld War II veteran and former Lincoln City councilor Ed Johann will be honored by the Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Department and American Legion Post 97 with a dedication of the Ed Johann Veterans Plaza on Hwy 101 and NW 18th Street sometime next month. Johann served as a seaplane tender in the U.S. Navy and received a Commendation for Service on April 14, 1942 for heroic duties he performed aboard the hospital ship USS Solace. Johann said he is honored to have a plaza named after for the things he has done of the years. The plaza will include a plaque with his name on it. “I met with Jeanne at the parks department and Cheryl,” said Rachel Howard, Johann’s granddaughter. “I wanted to put a bench up at the Siletz Bay Bridge and so I met with them. The American Legion got involved and they said we can do better than
putting a bench up.” The American Legion took the idea to city council to name a partition of land after Johann. Johann served in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945. At 17 years old, he traveled on the USS Holland, a submarine tender to Pearl Harbor. While on the hospital ship, the Japanese attacked on Dec. 7, 1941. Johann used a motor launch to rescue men from the USS Arizona, later receiving the Navy commendation medal with valor for his heroic efforts saving lives. “Saving lives is what I accomplished,” Johann said. “I was glad I was able to do it.” Johann served 27 years at the Portland Fire Department, was a part of Oregon Search & Rescue, was a city councilor for Lincoln City for 14 years. Johann said when he decided not to run for council anymore, he got elected anyway just by write-ins on the ballots. While a city councilor, Johann helped add the emergency center lane in Lincoln City, opened community centers, and organized
beach cleanups. He also helped open the library and the historical museum. Johann is also a member of the OBON Society, a nonprofit dedicated to the pursuit of peace. When he was 92 years old, he flew with other veterans to Japan to return family flags taken during the war. He has also wrote “Hazardous Adventures: A Collection of True Short Stories.” Johann is now 98 years old and still telling his story, most recently for KGW for Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day on Dec. 7. The plaque for the Ed Johann Veterans Plaza is being cast at the foundry, the Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Department said. Once they receive the plaque, the parks supervisor and crew will install it in the plaza. Once installed, the department plans to have a dedication ceremony in the plaza, sometime in January. “I feel honored that they’re doing this for me,” Johann said. “It’s something that’s going to last a lifetime.” Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

ewport City Council passed an ordinance and resolution Tuesday, Dec. 7, to restrict the use of single-use EPS foam and plastic food service ware at restaurants. Requirements will be implemented March 31, 2022. “Single-use EPS foam and plastic food service ware are made of nonrenewable resources which cause urban blight, land and marine litter, and damages wetland, estuarine, and oceanic habitats, and breaks down into micro-plastics that can cause long-term environmental problems,” the ordinance states. Costs associated with the use and disposal of single-use EPS foam and plastic food service ware creates burdens on solid waste disposal facilities and creates an environmental threat to the city’s natural resources and economy, and restaurants spend $24 billion purchasing disposable food service ware items on average in the U.S., the ordinance said. Lianna Rios, 14 years old, spoke during public comment regarding the use of plastic foam on the coast. “There are tiny pieces of Styrofoam floating around, buried in the sand, and even washing up with the waves,” Rios said. “No matter how long you sit there and try to pick those tiny pieces up, you’ll never get them all.” Rios said these microscopic pieces are also floating in the ocean and on other beaches. “We, the people living locally in a place that’s directly affected by climate change, are the only ones trying to make a difference,” Rios said. “To be more specific, the youth of our nation.” The city council had previously held a public hearing on Nov. 15 regarding the ordinance. The changes suggested by Surfrider Foundation included an additional ban on polystyrene cups. “It also allows food providers to charge for single-use plastic and condiments,” City Manager Spencer Nebel said. “An exemption has also been added for the use of plastic lids and sleeves for safety and spill containment.” With the ordinance and resolution, no food provider shall serve prepared foods in any single-use plastic/polystyrene food service containers. The ordinance also bans single-use polystyrene cups and provides single-use plastic service ware and condiments be provided only after customer requests. There is an exemption in the ordinance that includes cafeterias and food vendors to allow customers to access a self-serve station for single-use plastic food service ware and it allows these items to be included in prepackaged items, such as juice boxes. The schedule of fines is $100 for the first violation after a written warning in a 12-month period, $200 for the second violation, and $500 for any subsequent violations within this 12-month period. The resolution includes setting up a work group to implement the ordinance. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

These measures are key to ending the pandemic and keeping our friends and loved ones safe.” Earlier on Dec. 9, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorized expanding booster shot eligibility for 16- and 17-year olds, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) affirmed that decision. The Workgroup reviewed and affirmed that federal decision. Oregon, Washington, and Nevada joined California’s COVID-19 Scientific Safety Review Workgroup in October of last year. The workgroup, made up of nationally-acclaimed scientists with expertise in immunization and public health, has concurrently and independently reviewed the FDA’s actions related to COVID-19 vaccines. It will continue to evaluate other COVID-19 vaccines as they go through the federal process.

GUEST COLUMN Gomberg: A Special Session Will Help Landlords, Too REP. DAVID GOMBERG, House District 10
Representative David Gomberg is a Democrat representing the people of the Central Coast. Across my district, most landlords are not big corporations, but retired nurses, teachers, and small business owners who saw a need in their community and invested in housing. Our landlords have faced tremendous financial burdens and struggled to make ends meet throughout the pandemic. I’ve heard from many of my constituents who are housing providers and whose tenants, through no fault of their own, are months behind on rent. This is especially true for small and medium-sized landlords, whose financial well-being and security depends on rent being paid on time.
Currently landlords across Oregon are waiting for their tenants to receive promised rental assistance. But administrative delays in processing these rental assistance applications have put over 10,000 tenants at risk of being evicted. If that happens, over 10,000 Oregonians lose their homes and potentially thousands of landlords lose most hope of recovering any past-due rent. No one should face eviction for nonpayment simply because the state didn’t get promised payments out on schedule. As legislators, our commitment to Oregonians is to make sure people are housed while keeping housing providers whole. A special session on December 13 will ensure both tenants and landlords receive the assistance they need. The proposed solution for
the special session includes $200 million for further rental assistance and eviction prevention services, in addition to ensuring the Landlord Guarantee Program covers any unpaid rent owed to a landlord during the safe harbor period. We want to make sure that any solution to this problem supports both tenants and small housing providers. This builds on the work we did last December, when we allocated $150 million to create the Landlord Compensation Fund to provide relief to residential landlords who have been unable to collect rent due to tenant hardships. A number of my colleagues and I later pushed to update the law so that landlords would receive 100% compensation from the fund for past-due rent. Evictions have devastating consequences for individu-
als, families, their employers and their communities. Even a short period of homelessness or housing instability can do generational damage. It would be tragic if Oregonians lose their homes because the money available and intended to help them doesn’t reach them on time. We now have solutions to help avert a crisis that would leave tens of thousands of Oregonians on the street in the middle of winter during a pandemic. But it is important to add that this proposed legislation does not mean this situation can, or will, last forever. As more Oregonians get vaccinated and more students return to school, we need to get people back to work and paying their own rent. In the meantime, we have an opportunity to keep people housed and support landlords
REP. DAVID GOMBERG,
right now. That’s why it’s critical we show up December 13 and work together to find solutions. I’ll be there for the special session to fulfill our commitment and our promise to Oregon tenants and landlords.

COVID -19 update: Data updates on omicron, booster shots encouraged HILARY DORSEY Editor
After Thanksgiving, Oregon has seen a slight increase in COVID-19 cases. In Lincoln County, that increase has yet to be seen so far, Lincoln County Public Health has reported. There were 20 new COVID-19 cases reported Monday, Dec. 6, and Tuesday, Dec. 7, for a total of 62 cases in December, public health reported Wednesday, Dec. 20. In December, there have been two COVID-19 related deaths in Lincoln County and 55 total deaths since the pandemic began. “At this time, there’s still no omicron reported in Oregon,” Public Health Director Florence Pourtal reported during a board of commissioners meeting Wednesday, Dec. 8. Pourtal said based on initial data, omicron is two to three times more transmissible than the delta variant. The severity

Yachats Lions Club announces annual Crab Feed For over 20 years, the Yachats Lions Club has held an “all the Crab you can eat” event in Yachats. The annual trek to Yachats to eat Dungeness crab is a tradition for families and groups from across Oregon and Washington. This year’s Crab Feed will be like last year. The lions club will be selling crab meals available for take-out only. The meal will consist of one whole local crab, coleslaw and homemade bread. Meals will be available for pick-up (scheduled times) at the Lions Hall, 344 4th Street, Yachats, Oregon. The $30 per person tickets are available for sale online at https://yachatslionsclub.org/ You can select your pickup time and order as many meals as you like. You can also purchase extra crab along with your purchase of a crab meal. You can email for more information at lionscrabfeed2022@gmail.com. Kevin Yorks, coordinator of the popular Crab Feed this year, said, “We get great support from the community and local businesses in Yachats, Waldport and Newport. South Beach Fish Market cooks and cleans
the best tasting local crab you ever ate. Last year we sold over 200 meals and were sold out in early January. We have increased the number of meals we can sell but expect sales to be strong.” All proceeds from the annual Crab Feed fundraiser support Lions community service projects including scholarships to graduating seniors, food pantries, the preschool and after school programs of Yachats Youth and Family program, South Lincoln Resources programs, eyeglasses for children and adults. With the motto “WE SERVE,” Yachats Lions Club is celebrating 71 years of service to Yachats and South Lincoln County. Yachats Lions Thrift Store, located at 236 4th St., has served our community for more than 40 years.

LC Youth and Junior Cheerleaders win at invitational cheerleading competition Congratulations to LC Youth and Junior Cheerleaders for their successful wins this past weekend at the McMinnville Invitational Cheerleading Competition. The first competition of the season brought in three trophies for the cheerleading teams and the community that they support. The Youth took home a first-place trophy in the Traditional category. Juniors brought home a third in the Game Day Division and a second in the Traditional Division. The cheerleaders were happy to be back in person and to be competing live in front of family and friends again said Coach Tonia Anderson. “We are so grateful to everyone that came out to support us,” Anderson said. I” am super proud of the teams for working so hard and for leaving it all on the mat. We appreciate OCCA and McMinnville for hosting such a great event and for making this happen for us and for taking all the precautions to keep us safe so that we can compete.” The next time that the two teams will be taking that mat to compete will be at the Raven Rumble at Ridgeview High School in Redmond on Dec. 11. The competition starts at 9 a.m.
DeFazio: Legislative accomplishments played role in decision to retire BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The News Guard
Congressman Peter DeFazio said recent accomplishments on Capitol Hill helped him decide it was time to retire. During a press conference after he announced he would not run for another term, DeFazio said in the last year or two, he has been able to accomplish several long-term goals. That, along with new boundaries of the Fourth Congressional District that make it easier for Democrats to win, helped him decide to step aside. “The last year-and-a-half has been a whirlwind, and I’ve gotten a lot of long-awaited goals done,” DeFazio said. “Just in the last year, I’ve gotten the Harbor Maintenance tax freed up, so we’re not going to have to beg to get our ports dredged and our jetties repaired. “The next big thing I’ve always wanted to accomplish was a major investment in Ameri-
ca’s crumbling infrastructure. I started on this quest in the first term of the Obama administration, and it culminated this year. Not everything I wanted was in the bill, not even as much as I wanted, but it will be the single largest investment in infrastructure, and Oregon will be a big beneficiary.” Even as he listed some of his accomplishments, DeFazio said leaving Congress was not easy. He has served for 36 years, making him the longest-serving representative in Oregon history and the 65th longest-serving member of Congress in U.S. history. “This hasn’t been an easy decision,” DeFazio said. “It has been an incredible honor, unanticipated, to serve the Fourth District of Oregon for 36 years.” While his legislative success played a large role in his decision, so did more personal reasons. “There comes a time,” he said. “Thirty-six years, the longest commute in the lower
“The next big thing I’ve always wanted to accomplish was a major investment in America’s crumbling infrastructure. I started on this quest in the first term of the Obama administration, and it culminated this year. Not everything I wanted was in the bill, not even as much as I wanted, but it will be the single largest investment in infrastructure, and Oregon will be a big beneficiary.”
Congressman Peter DeFazio 48, and I need more time for myself, for my health and wellbeing, for my wife and family
and for the things I love in Oregon. There’s things I want to enjoy. There’s wilderness ar-
eas I created. I want to go hike Devil’s Staircase again.” DeFazio said while he has no major health concerns, he did recently have back surgery and there have been a few scares. Ultimately, he said, it’s just time to do something else. “This is the right time for me,” he said. “I’m going out on top.” Another aspect he considered was the future of his seat. For 36 years, he won election after election in a district that leaned Republican. Changes recently made by the Oregon Legislature should make it easier for another Democrat to win. “My district is now, thanks to the Legislature, five or six points better for Democrats,” DeFazio said. “I intend to endorse and work hard for the Democrat nominee.” DeFazio said he expects there to be a lot of interest in the seat, especially since it will be an open seat for the first time in 36 years. But he said
he would stay out of the fray until the major parties choose candidates. “I’m not choosing a successor,” he said. “We need someone who’s strong, qualified and hopefully with experience in the public sector. I think there will be a lot of folks. I expect to endorse, support and work for the Democrat nominee.” He said his desire is to have someone win the seat that will continue to deliver for Oregon, despite gridlock on Capitol Hill. “There’s a lot of things I’ve done that will last long after me, and the new person will bring new strengths and new achievements,” he said. While DeFazio is looking forward to his final flight home to Oregon, he still has a year left to serve and many political battles left before retirement calls. “There’s a lot to do, another year to go,” he said. “I’ll be 751/2 when I finish this term, and it’s time to pass the torch.”
Congressional Delegation pushs for port funding Oregon’s congressional delegation is pushing for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to include funding for Oregon’s
port infrastructure as the agency implements the recently passed Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (IIJA).
The request includes $62 million for Tillamook Bay and Bar South Jetty head and trunk repairs to support the Port of

Fazio (OR-04), the Chair of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, along with Senator Ron Wyden and Representatives Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), Kurt Schrader (OR-05), Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01), and Cliff Bentz (OR-02), have sent a letter to the Army Corps and the Office of Management and Budget, requesting allocated funds be set aside to ensure federally authorized waterways and navigation infrastructure in the State of Oregon are properly maintained, which is especially critical to Oregon’s small ports. “The COVID-19 pandemic has hit rural communities and small, commercial ports with multiple economic losses from higher safety and sanitation costs, shelter-in-place orders, tenants seeking lease deferral, a severe downturn of the commercial fishing markets, and ports were not eligible to receive much of the relief funds,” the lawmakers wrote. “These ports are a source of jobs, recreation, and tax benefit to the state and local community and additional op-
erations and maintenance funding is critical for the federal channels and structures that serve these communities.” Oregon is home to export gateways, inland barging terminals, and small commercial and recreational fishing ports, all 23 of which play a significant role in Oregon’s economy. The IIJA is a landmark piece of legislation that will invest in land and water infrastructure, the labor force, broadband infrastructure, and the economy. It’s critical that as this legislation is implemented, Oregon’s small ports—many of which have years of deferred maintenance needs—are able to access and benefit from the funding made available by IIJA, the Oregon congressional delegation states in a release. The letter includes funding requests for elements, such dredging, maintenance of jetties and canal locks, fish passages, and other infrastructure needed to maintain navigation via Oregon’s rivers and ports. Merkley and DeFazio said that every lock and dam on the Columbia River have long-overdue additional maintenance needs.

City of Newport responds to sewage spill On Friday, Dec. 3, from 3-4 p.m., a sewer pipeline became plugged and discharged approximately 6,000 gallons of raw sewage into an uninhabited swampy area between the Ocean View Drive Agate Beach Way Station and Hwy 101. City crews noticed the spill occurring as they were performing a daily check of the system. The crews immediately
took steps to clean the pipeline and stop the spill. Signs have been posted at the pedestrian crossings to Agate Beach. The City of Newport is testing waters in the area and will leave the signs in place until bacteria levels are deemed safe for human contact by the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality.
