Local search suspended for missing man

County gets doses of the vaccine for several groups

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue has suspended the operation to locate and rescue Adrian Alonzo Smith.

Smith is a 49 year-old male who was last seen on Tuesday, January 19, when a friend dropped him off at the Drift Creek Falls Trailhead. Smith missed his scheduled pickup the following day and LCSO Search and Rescue was notified.

Smith is about 6 feet tall, 170 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair. He has numerous tattoos on his upper body; most notably a large pair of wings on his back.

Search and Rescue crews searched the area extensively and have been unable to locate Smith. Despite snow, rain and wind, SAR teams covered an onthe-ground distance of 483 miles within a primary search area of about eight square miles. Drones, K9s, and forensic cellphone analysis were also unable to shed light on Smith’s whereabouts.

A tip from the public on January 26 reported a location where Smith was seen several days before. The reporter indicated Smith was shirtless in the cold weather, which is a common symptom of severe hypothermia.

Smith’s encampment was located on the afternoon of January 30 near where he was reported to have been seen. Food, water and other supplies appeared to have been untouched since before the recent snowfall began in the area on January 26.

The evidence, weather and condition of Smith’s camp led investigators to believe the probability of Smith’s survival is too low to continue sustained operations.

Investigators are waiting on better weather conditions to continue search and recovery operations. A definite timeline has not been set, but efforts will likely resume within two weeks. Anyone with information is still encouraged to contact Sr. Dep. Bruce McGuire at (541) 270-3400 or LCSO Dispatch at (541) 265-0777.

During a time of uncertainty, the Chinook Winds Casino Resort (CWCR) said they are happy to maintain their commitment to community partnerships.

This past week CWCR held true to that statement by making a $71,478 donation to North Lincoln Fire and Rescue District #1 as an ongoing partnership between Chinook Winds, the

Confederated Tribes of Siletz and the fire district.

“Over the past 23 years North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and the Confederated Tribes of Siletz have worked together to ensure the safety of guests and property,” said NLFR Chief Rob Dahlman. “It’s more than the donation that makes this possible. The relationship and generosity of all involved make it work.”

This week, Lincoln County Public Health announced they anticipate receiving 900 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to finish vaccinating Phase 1A and educator groups. Public Health also will be able to begin vaccinating seniors again, starting with age 80 and over.

The announcement comes just a week after the county was told they would not be getting any doses of the vaccine, which prompted county leaders to question state health officials.

During the Feb. 1 Board of Commissioners meeting, Public Health Deputy Director Florence Pourtal presented the commissioners with the latest update regarding COVID-19 cases in Lincoln County and vaccinations. So far, Public Health has had great success distributing vaccines to residents.

“We did such a great job of using the entirety of the doses that have been received in Lincoln County,” Pourtal said. “We have wonderful vaccine preppers who are able to draw more doses out of the viles.”

Each vile is expected hold around 10 doses, Pourtal said, and Lincoln County Public Health has been able to draw at least 11, sometimes 12 doses per vile. Because of this,

FEMA begins construction on temporary housing for county wildfire survivors MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia. net

FEMA has begun construction on a site where temporary housing units will be provided to qualified survivor families from Lincoln County. Once completed, the new site in Lincoln City is expected to hold up to 21 temporary housing units.

FEMA spokespersons attended the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners meeting on Feb. 1 to provide an update on the housing situation in the county following the September wildfires. According to FEMA, 245 residents are currently living with friends and family, 84 individuals are living in hotels or motels, 51 are living in mass sheltering, 49

people are in new temporary rentals, 36 people are living in RV’s or mobile homes, 13 have moved to their secondary residence and four individuals have purchased new homes.

The temporary housing units are being constructed on Siltez Tribal property next to the Logan Road RV Park in Lincoln City. They are expected to be complete or at least substantially completed by Feb. 26.

FEMA said they are currently working on a water pressure issue in the are but should be resolved in the next few weeks.

FEMA also expects to get applicants through the licensing process for the housing units in around five days following completion, getting victims in the units in the first week of March.

The temporary housing units will be constructed on Siletz Tribal property that is also home to the Logan Road RV Park.

“Under the circumstances, it’s a pretty quick turnaround,” Commissioner Doug Hunt said.

“We’re not the only county that’s dealing with these problems of housing issues relative

to wildfires over the labor day time period. Housing is an issue not only relative to the wildfires but relative to COVID as well.

State of Oregon to speed up vaccination timeline ZACK DEMARS Country Media

Oregon seniors may receive doses of the COVID-19 vaccine faster than previously expected.

Thanks to additional planed doses of the vaccine to come from the federal government, Oregon has plans to speed up its statewide vaccination timeline, state health officials announced during a conference Feb 5.

The state’s now projecting three quarters of health care workers educational staff and seniors to become eligible within the next four weeks will have received a first dose of the vaccine by early April, about a month ahead of the state’s previous projection. “This is really good news.

However, we still have a long way to go,� said Oregon Governor Kate Brown.

A quicker timeline for vaccinating seniors means the state will be able to reach other groups sooner too, according to Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen. “That’s good news for seniors. It’s also good news for frontline workers, people with underlying health conditions, and others who are next in

line,� Allen said.

The new projection comes after federal health officials promised the state an increase in vaccine doses in the coming weeks, Allen said. He laid out the three factors which impact how quickly the state can distribute vaccine: The number of available doses, the size of the eligible population and the rate at which vaccination sites across the state could be distributing vaccine.

That third factor isn’t an issue, as Allen said the state could be vaccinating twice as many people as it currently is. “That leaves supply and demand as the limiting factors,� Allen said.

According to Allen, new dose allocations announced by the federal government mean the state will see more than 75,000 doses of the vaccine a week. The increase includes 11,600 more doses a week in the state’s standard allocation, and 12,000 new doses a week through a federal pharmacy partnership program.

Starting the week of Feb. 8, Allen said the state will begin using 5,000 doses a week to vaccinate adults in custody in state prisons and county jails, as well as eligible youth in custody of the Oregon Youth

Authority, in line with a federal court order issued Feb. 3 mandating the state vaccinate prisoners.

There could be more improvements on the horizon, too, as Allen said the state’s timeline doesn’t take into account the possibility of a third vaccine, produced by Johnson & Johnson, which could enter the supply chain by early March pending federal approvals.

Still, despite the accelerated distribution projection, Friday’s press conference wasn’t all good news. The announcement came the same day the state announced its 2,000th virus-related death. “Each life lost to this horrible virus is one too many.

I know each number here is someone’s mother or father, child, best friend or colleague,�

Brown said. “It’s difficult, and it’s heartbreaking, and my thoughts are with each of these families.�

What’s more, the health officials are preparing for difficulties over the next several weeks, when hundreds of thousands more Oregonians are in line for a relatively short supply of vaccines. “Next week, when seniors begin to become eligible, we

STOCK PHOTO

The state plans to start administering COVID-19 vaccines to adults 70 and older this month. will see some degree of chaos,�

Allen said Friday. “Next week, many older adults will inevitably voice frustration. Next week, you will not have to look hard to see people experiencing confusion. We will fall short.�

The smooth rollout of vaccines to Oregon’s elderly will require patience and understanding, he emphasized. He noted that not everyone who becomes eligible will get a vaccine right away, but may have to wait several weeks to move to the front of the line. “As we’ve said all along, our limitation isn’t capacity,� Allen

said. “It’s supply.�

Some pharmacies across the state will soon have doses of the vaccine to administer to eligible individuals, Allen said. That’ll be one option for seniors to get vaccinated, alongside vaccine clinics, local public health authorities and long-term care facilities.

According to the state’s vaccination timeline, individuals 80 and older will be eligible for vaccines Feb. 8.

Those 75 and older will be eligible on Feb. 15, and those 70 and up will be eligible on Feb. 22. On March 1, anyone 65 or older will be eligible for

a vaccine.

Health officials have developed several methods for getting information about getting a vaccine. The state’s covidvaccine.oregon.gov website contains general information about the vaccine and vaccination eligibility.

Starting Feb. 8, that website will be home to a “Get Vaccinated Oregon� tool developed to help individuals determine their eligibility for a vaccine, find vaccination events across the state and register for alerts about their eligibility.

The tool won’t guarantee a place in line, as vaccination appointments are made by vaccine providers.

People call also text “ORCOVID� to 898211 to get text updates about nearby clinics in English and Spanish, or email ORCOVID@211info. org with questions.

As a last resort, statewide vaccine eligibility information is available by calling 211 or 866-698-6155. “I’m asking older Oregonians for patience, in exchange for this promise: While it will take time, every senior who wants to get vaccinated will get a vaccine in the coming weeks,� Allen said.

Motorhome pursuit ends in K9 capture near Lincoln Beach MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

On Feb. 2, at 9 p.m., Newport Police Officers contacted a male and female who were reportedly involved in a possible domestic disturbance in the area of NW 25th St. and NW Oceanview Dr. in Newport.

The subjects were uncooperative with law enforcement and provided conflicting statements. It was determined there was no crime at this time and the subjects left the area on foot.

Officers later identified an unoccupied vehicle the subjects were associated with was reported stolen from the Portland area. The stolen vehicle was seized and towed to a storage facility.

At midnight on Feb. 3, a Newport Officer attempted to stop a motorhome for a traffic violation in the area of NW Oceanview St./NW 25th St. in Newport. The occupants of the motorhome were later identified as the couple contacted by Newport officers earlier in the evening. The driver failed to

Vernon Brock Heaps pull over and sped off.

The driver drove erratically, swerving across the lanes of travel. The vehicle drove to Hwy 101

BRYAN P. FITZSIMMONS, CPA

and traveled north. Officers continued to pursue the motorhome north on Hwy 101 with lights and sirens.

The driver continued driving erratically and traveled at speeds from 30 mph to 60 mph. Traffic was very light and continuously monitored for safety concerns.

A Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy successfully deployed “spike strips� at Hwy 101 near Fogarty Creek Park. When the Deputy prepared the “spike strips�, the driver of the motorhome purposefully swerved toward the Deputy, narrowly missing him.

The motorhome traveled a short distance further and came to rest on a side street in Lincoln Beach, about 14 miles from where the pursuit began.

Two subjects fled from the motorhome, running through the yards of area homes. Officers chased the fleeing subjects on foot and caught one of the subjects,

identified as Aurora Alexandra Matta, 32, of Portland.

She was detained in handcuffs by officers. Matta was confirmed as the female contacted by Newport officers earlier in the evening.

The other subject was not immediately located. Officers from the Newport Police Department, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and Oregon State Police established a perimeter of the last known area of the subject.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office K9 Deputy Akin and his K9 partner Ghost responded to assist. After a short search, K9 Ghost found the subject hiding in a private yard a short distance away from the motorhome.

The male was identified as Vernon Brock Heaps, 31, of Portland. Heaps was confirmed as the male subject with Matta contacted by Newport officers earlier in the evening.

Investigating officers confirmed Heaps and Matta

were driving the earlier recovered stolen vehicle from the Portland area.

Heaps was arrested for Reckless Endangering, Eluding a Police Officer, Reckless driving, Possession of a Stolen vehicle, giving False information and Criminal Mischief. He was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail.

Matta’s involvement in the stolen vehicle case is under continued investigation.

The Newport Police Department was assisted by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office and the Oregon State Police.

The Newport Police Department wants to remind citizens to continue to report suspicious activities. The Newport Police Tip Line is available at 541-574-5455, or Text-a-Tip at 541-270-1856 or tipline@newportpolice.net.

If you have any information regarding this case, contact Officer Smith of the Newport Police Department at 541574-3348.

I am writing to you today as a mother of three children. Three children that, like every other child in this county (and nation) have had everything stripped from them during the pandemic.

Recently a live stream was posted on Facebook of adults, inside the

community center gym, playing pickle ball. I would like to know what steps are being taken to open outdoor sports for our children. During the two months of hybrid learning last fall, we have proven that children can go to school for two days a week, six hours a day and not create a super spreader, or even a mild

spreader event. Cities like Salem, which is still in the extreme risk, are moving forward with outdoor sports. They have successfully had not only softball but also volleyball, which as you know, is played indoors.

The same city just opened youth soccer sign ups.

trip just to get them the activity they so desperately need and deserve.

These children have sacrificed enough for the past year. High schoolers missing out on their senior year of Football, basketball, etc. Children that should be gaining a foundation in softball or soccer, all robbed of these opportunities. Yet,

here we are, with adults playing pickle ball.... It is time to put our youth, the future, first and stop being selfish.

I know I am not alone when I say, Let them play!

Devils Lake seeks budget committee members THE NEWS GUARD

The Devils Lake Water Improvement District (DLWID) is seeking qualified applicants to join the Budget Committee. All interested applicants, who qualify, are encouraged to apply by filling out an official application here. Applications can also be downloaded on the district’s website, www.

DLWID.org.

The DLWID Budget Committee meets annually, typically in May, to review

the proposed upcoming budget for the district. The budget is prepared prior to the meeting by the District Manager, who is the acting Budget Officer. The Committee’s primary function is to review and, if appropriate, make recommendations on the proposed annual DLWID budget.

This process is usually accomplished in one meeting but could be extended to additional meetings based on committee feedback and suggestions. Upon consent,

the Committee makes a formal recommendation on the budget to the DLWID Board of Directors.

District Manager Josh Brainerd comments on skills and qualifications that he is seeking in applicants.

“We’re really looking for team-players to help us draft a budget that makes sense for the district,” says Brainerd. “Since we are a relatively small district, our budget is going to reflect that. With that said, we are looking for applicants who are skilled

at making prudent financial decisions and that have a passion for the lake.”

There are two positions available on the Budget Committee. Applicants must be residents of the district and also be a registered voter of Lincoln County in order to

qualify. For an application, please go to www.DLWID. org.

For more information, please contact DLWID via phone at 541-994-5330 or email Lake.Manager@ DLWID.org. Or, visit www.

IN MEMORY Washington followed, where he pledged Sigma Nu fraternity and joined the ROTC. He graduated the UW with a major in Business Administration, a minor in handball, and an Air Force Commission. In 1954, Bud entered flight training and became a combat ready F86D pilot in the 324th Fighter Interceptor Squadron at Westover Air Force Base in Springfield, MA. He was promoted to First Lieutenant in 1956, and left active duty in 1957, but reflected fondly on his Air Force days throughout his long life.

After a brief stint selling real estate in Phoenix, AZ, Bud returned to the Northwest.

He moved to Portland to work for Kaiser Gypsum, marketing building materials, and then eagerly joined the marketing department of Northwest Natural Gas Company in 1961.

It was in Portland where he met and quickly married his cherished wife, Wilma Sinclair.

In the two years that followed, they were blessed with three daughters; Alison, and identical twins, Christine and Suzanne.

In 1965, Bud and Wilma moved their young family to Lincoln City, OR where Bud served as the District Manager of the Northwest Natural Gas Central Coast District for the next 18 years. Building the gas company franchise with only a handful of employees, he regarded the chance to establish the district from scratch as a fine growth opportunity and one that provided great personal satisfaction.

He was elected twice as Mayor of Lincoln City, served on the board of North Lincoln Hospital, the Congregational Church Deaconate and Trustee boards, the US Bank owned Pacific State Bank board, and was a proud founding member and Charter President of the Lincoln City Rotary Club.

In 1983, Bud was promoted to District Manager of NW Natural Gas in Salem and over the next 11 years served in the role of District Manager, and Director of Marketing and Public Relations. He continued his civic commitment serving on the Board of Directors of Goodwill Industries, the United Way, the Salem Chamber of Commerce, Salem Home Builders Association, Oregon State Home Builders Association, Downtown Salem Rotary, Salem Hospital Foundation, and the Salem YMCA. Throughout his final years of work and into retirement he also found time to thrash a golf ball at his neighborhood Illahe Hills Country Club, use the Courthouse gym and swimming pool, read, travel, follow UW Husky football— and to never let any of it keep him from actively participating in the lives of his children and grandchildren.

In sorting through his personal file folder titled “Bud’s Demise”, a list was discovered that summarized Bud’s philosophy on life. 1) Take responsibility; 2) Work for what you want; 3) Don’t fight the unchangeable; 4) When wrong,

admit it and change; 5) Forgive; 6) Be generous with others; 7) Let your mouth be kind; 8) No self-pity; 9) Listen, really listen.

His family and friends can all attest he tried to uphold these principles every day.

He was a man who lived precisely the life he wanted—a full, remarkable life. A life to be admired.

Bud was preceded in death by his daughter, Alison, in 1984, and is survived by his ever-loving wife, Wilma Kiefer of Salem, daughter Christine Turner, her husband Tom and children Andy and Olivia of Seattle, and Emma of Portland; daughter Suzanne Dietrich, her husband Mike Juenke, and son Nicholas of Seattle; and brother, Douglas Kiefer and his wife Karole of Kirkland.

Due to Covid-19, no services are planned at this time, but please celebrate Bud’s long and beautiful life by playing some jazz, lifting a glass, sharing stories, singing a hymn, and remembering his numerous contributions to business, community, friends and family.

In lieu of flowers, we would be honored by contributions in his memory to the Downtown Salem Rotary, or your favorite Rotary chapter.

North Lincoln Sanitary to rollout composting service THE NEWS GUARD

North Lincoln Sanitary Service (NLSS) announced curbside Mixed Compostables service is coming March 1, 2021.

The 2018 Lincoln County Materials Management Plan established a county-wide organics recovery program as a top priority to meet State of Oregon waste reduction goals.

The State of Oregon has set a Food Waste reduction goal of 25 percent by 2020. Over the last few years, Lincoln County, local cities, and the Solid Waste District, worked cooperatively with NLSS and added curbside yard debris/mix compostables

Vaccine

service to their residential customers.

Organic materials collected in residential garbage roll carts are a significant part of waste communities send to the landfill each year, (roughly 1/3 of garbage is organic material).

Many organic items being sent to the landfill, such as yard clippings, fruits & vegetables, and kitchen scraps, can instead be used to make nutrient rich compost. Each year, community composting programs divert significant tons of materials from being wasted in landfills.

NLSS will begin delivering Mixed Compostable Roll Carts mid-February 2021. The 96-gallon Mixed Compostables

roll carts will be blue with a brown lid, (Additional Roll Cart sizes will be made available if an accommodation is needed).

Toter, the roll cart manufacturer will utilize their crews to deliver the new roll carts to NLSS customers. The delivery process will take approximately two weeks to complete.

Curbside Mixed Compostables pickups will begin March 1 with every other week service and will follow your co-mingled recycling pickup schedule.

NLSS asks customers to place your Mixed Compostable roll cart out the night before your pickup day along with your comingled recycling roll cart.

NLSS will be sending a flyer

in their February billing outlining the basic items that can go into your Mixed Compostable roll cart such as; lawn and tree clippings, weeds, leaves, kitchen scraps, vegetables, coffee grounds, kitchen food waste, bones, meat, cheese and pizza boxes. Items that may not go into your Mixed Compostable roll cart are; plastics of any kind (even compostable or biodegradable plastics), to-go food ware, animal waste, metal or any items you would not want in your garden or compost at home.

Remember, “If it Grows-It Goes,” NLSS says.

Beginning April 1, residential customers will have a rate

increase on their bill of $6.85 per month. If customers elect to not utilize the new Mixed Compostables service, the rate

will still apply.

If you have any questions regarding the new service, call 541-994-5555.

sit back and wait for other counties to catch up when we are doing such a stellar job. It’s our job as a county… we are here to serve the people.”

Austen said their goal with the letter was to bring on as many county groups as they could to make a case that rural counties should not be “put on the back burner.”

“They have a lot more people and we know it’s going to take them a lot longer,” Austen said of the metro areas.

“But there’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to just move forward and get our people vaccinated, especially given the fact that we are struggling.

We don’t have the resources that the cities have.

“A lot of our population is made up of over 65 so we want to get them in as well as our essential workers. We have all these people coming into our community for some R&R (Rest and relaxation) and that puts us at greater risk.”

The commissioners were

unanimously in full support of submitting the letter to OHA. Commissioner Kaety Jacobson also presented the idea to send the letter to other counties in similar situations to become more unified as rural counties.

“I’m just really upset by this,” Jacobson said. “I sort of feel like we’re being punished for doing a good job. If this was reversed, I don’t feel like they would have Portland Metro or other communities wait for us. That creates an equity issue.”

Jacobson made a point of saying that every community is different, and for Lincoln County, vaccinating essential workers will be a challenge because of all the restaurants, stores and other businesses.

Jacobson believes the county should be able to keep vaccinating residents along with the rest of the state. The issue was also brought to the attention of elected officials such as Rep. David Gomberg and Sen.

Dick Anderson.

Commissioner Doug Hunt also expressed his opinion on the shortage of vaccine allocations.

“It would be one thing to maybe moderate vaccinations but to absolutely get none, I find that unacceptable,” Hunt said. “Hopefully this is a message that will be heard loud and clearly.”

The letter was signed and sent by the Multi-Agency Coordinating (MAC) Group, which includes the Commissioners, Public Health, Samaritan Health Services, Lincoln County School Districts, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Oregon Coast Community College, Pacific West Ambulane, North Lincoln Fire and Rescue, Newport Fire and the Health Center.

In coming weeks, Public Health said they know there will be more seniors who want to get vaccinated than there will be vaccines available to them. While they can’t

give every older adult an appointment as soon as they want one, Public Health has different ways to get linked to vaccine information and events such as visiting the COVID-19 website: http:// www.co.lincoln.or.us/covid or calling the Lincoln County Call Center: 541-265-0621 or email LincolnCoCallCenter@ co.lincoln.or.us.

A Multi-agency Coordinating group for the COVID-19 vaccine distribution is actively working on additional ways to distribute the vaccine. Public Health anticipates having help from several agencies to deliver vaccine to those who are medically homebound and are planning additional vaccination clinics throughout the county.

Those who signed up on a prior waitlist will be contacted first. Those who are eligible and want a vaccine, but are not on a waitlist already, are encouraged to provide their information at our waitlist

registration portal, located at https://www.co.lincoln.or.us/ hhs/page/lincoln-county-covid-19-vaccination-schedule.

It is important to also get your second dose of the vaccine. According to their companies, the Pfizer1 vaccine is about 52% effective 12 days after the first dose and the Moderna2 vaccine is approximately 80% effective.

However, 14 days after the second dose they become 94-95% effective.

Public Health also recommends people get the second dose at the same place where they received the first dose.

The Oregon Health Authority only gives counties enough 2nd doses for the people who received their 1st doses here.

If you get your first vaccination out of the county, you should receive your second dose out of the county as well.

To the degree possible, FEMA works to keep survivors as close as possible to their communities, schools and places of worship.

Direct Temporary Housing is provided to survivors for up to 18 months from the date of the disaster decla-

ration (until March 2022).

“The beginning of this work is a major milestone,” Commissioner Claire Hall said. “Not only for the folks

who were displaced by the fire, just members of the community, friends, relatives and others that were interested in this process.”

they’ve been able to administer 121 more doses of the vaccine than the state expected.

Public Health held a vaccine clinic a few weeks ago with 670 people scheduled to receive their first dose of the vaccine and 655 in total were administered. Although they’ve been successful in distribution, the county was informed that they would not be getting anymore doses of the vaccine until other counties across the state could catch up to Lincoln County.

During the meeting, Pourtal and Rebecca Austen, health department director, brought a letter to the commissioner they hoped would be signed and sent off to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Director Pat Allen. The message: Lincoln County is not happy with how vaccines are being allocated.

“We don’t want to get zero doses anymore,” Austen said at the meeting. “We don’t feel that that’s a fair and equitable way to do it, that we have to
