Mixed compostables service ready to launch MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

On March 1, North Lincoln Sanitary Service (NLSS) begins its curbside mixed compostables service, which the Lincoln City City Council discussed this week at their Monday meeting.

On Jan. 25, the city council discussed and provided direction to staff to create options for exemptions to the service. Then on Feb. 8, a motion to reconsider was passed and council was informed of the resolution language.

Staff prepared the following ordinance amendment, which only clarifies that composting is included within the existing exemptions. In sum, you can get a reduction in service or elimination in service by filing an affidavit.

Elimination of service has three options: - First: you submit an affidavit and evidence that you have a commercial account in the City and you take your residential garbage from your home in the City to your business. While this exemption does not encourage composting, it remains.

- Second: you submit an affidavit and evidence that you have full residential service at your principal residence, and that the home in Lincoln City is a second home. You take your solid waste, recycling and composting back to your principal residence and dispose of it properly [or] you submit an affidavit and evidence that you take your solid waste, recycling,

With local students getting back in the classroom this past month after a long absence due to COVID-19, extra curricular activities are also ramping up, such as the Native Education program at Taft 7-12.

On Friday, Feb. 26, the Native Education pro-

gram hosted their first ever virtual cultural event making fry bread. The event was able to include a free fry bread kit and story to each family enrolled in the Title Vl program. With several participants, Taft 7-12 Indian Education Specialist Desi Clausing felt the event was a highlight after a difficult year for students.

Lincoln County has been informed by the Oregon Health Authority that shipments of the COVID-19 vaccine should continue to stabilize and increase over the coming weeks.

Currently, Lincoln County receives at least 1,200 first doses of the Moderna or Pfizer vaccine.

As of Feb. 25, there have been over 7,500 residents who have started or completed the vaccination process. Public Health expects at least 28,000 residents will want the vaccine. There are currently 10,500 eligible entries on their waitlist that have not had an appointment scheduled. This includes all remaining Phase 1A, educators and adults age 65 and older who became eligible on Sunday.

While there are signs the vaccine allocation will be increasing, if Lincoln County continues to only get 1,200 doses a week, it will take eight to nine weeks to vaccinate everyone currently eligible, public health believes.

The county waitlist does not interact with other vaccination sites, so it is possible that several on the Public Health waitlist have already received the vaccine. Some have scheduled for county clinics but have not yet been removed from the county’s waitlist. The county is working on improving the communica-

Local Girl Scouts to host weekend cookie sale event MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

If you’ve been missing the sweet flavors of Thin Mints, Tagalongs or Samoa, the local Lincoln City Girl Scout troop has you covered this weekend during their cookie selling event.

Local Troop #10143 will be out at McKay’s Market in Lincoln City on March 6-7 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for their one an only cookie selling event this year. Unable to host cookie booths during the COVID-19 pandemic, LeeAnn Gabler, one of the troop’s leaders, said the weekend event will be a drive thru event on the side of McKay’s and will be cash only.

“People don’t even have to get out of their cars,” Gabler said. “They can just drive up and hopefully get what they need.”

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the local troop has shifted all sales to online. But

“They’re always super active with cookie sales every year.

They sell a ton,” Gabler said of the local troop. “Digitally they’re doing pretty well, but because

we haven’t had any booth sales, the numbers will definitely be down this year.”

The Girl Scouts feature ages 5-18 and will begin meeting in person this week. The troop has tried to connect virtually to keep everyone involved but they had to cancel regular events like summer camp and the annual trip to Drift Creek Campground in the fall.

“It’s been tough like most kid’s activities,” Gabler said.

“But as they get started back up, we’re trying to put together a end of the year ceremony (in June). We like when we’re all together because the older kids are great leaders for our younger kids.”

With 700 boxes of cookies to sell this coming weekend, the local troop is also offering a special option for those who might have already had their fill of sweets but still want to sup-

port the cause. Each year, all Girl Scout troops do a ‘Gift of Caring’ option during cookie sales that allow the public to donate a box of cookies to whichever group or organization the group chooses.

This year’s choice for the Lincoln City troop is one that hits close to home.

“Locally, we’ve done the fire department, the police department, Family Promise, Lakeview Senior Living… each year it’s something different,” Gabler said. “But this year they decided on donating to fire victims.”

The troop has already purchased about 50 boxes of cookies for fire victims and have set a goal of around 200 boxes. So, even if you don’t want cookies yourself, you can buy a box or two for a family affected by the fires.

Some frontline workers, others eligible for vaccine March 29 ZACK DEMARS Country Media

Oregon turned a corner in its efforts to vaccinate residents against the coronavirus Friday, setting a schedule for the eligibility for every adult in the state to receive a shot.

The announcement sets an ambitious timeline for vastly expanding the number of Oregonians who can get in line for a COVID-19 vaccine, with select populations becoming eligible by the end of March and the general public to become eligible by late July.

“Yes, you’re hearing me correctly,” said Oregon Governor Kate Brown at a news conference Friday.

“Come summer, provided supplies from the federal government continue as planned, any Oregonian who wants the vaccine will be eligible to receive it.”

Under the plan, on March 29 the state will open eligibility to the next slate of individuals in group 1B. Officials said that includes: - Adults 45-64, with 1+ CDCdefined underlying health conditions with increased risk. (Conditions include cancer, chronic kidney disease, COPD, Down’s syndrome, heart conditions, immunocompromised state, obesity defined by a BMI of 30 or above, pregnancy, sickle-cell disease and Type II diabetes.)

- A portion of frontline workers who are highly vulnerable, including migrant and seasonal farm workers; seafood, agricultural and food processing workers; and woodland firefighters.

- Families displaced by Sept.

2020 forest fires.

- People living in low-income and congregate senior housing.

- Individuals experiencing homelessness.

No later than May 1, the state will open eligibility to: - Adults 16-45 with 1+ CDC defined underlying health conditions with increased risk.

- Other CDC-defined frontline workers, which the CDC defines as “necessary for the functioning of society,” and who are at higher risk for contracting the virus because they can’t work from home or often come in contact with others at work. Some examples include grocery store workers, members of the media, public transit operators and the U.S. Postal Service.

- People who live in multi-generational households.

No later than June 1, the state will open eligibility to the general population 45 or older, and no later than July 1, the state will open eligibility to anyone 16 and older.

A lengthy list of the characteristics and factors which define the state’s eligibility groups is available on the state’s vaccination website at covidvaccine.oregon.gov/ “For the first time since the pandemic started, we can provide a timeline that will tell every adult Oregonian a date before which he or she will be eligible to get vaccinated,” said Oregon Health Authority Director Patrick Allen Friday.

“This will bring into clearer view a time when we will be freed from the grip of the pandemic, and we

Friday’s announcement came on the heels of a chaotic week for scheduling vaccine appointments, particularly in the state’s high-population areas, which has pushed state officials to change how appointments are scheduled at major metro sites.

But according to Allen, the state is already ahead of its own timeline, giving health officials confidence in the ambitious next phases.

“We’re speeding up our timelines, not backing off,” Allen said.

So far, just over 7% of Oregonians have been fully vaccinated against the virus, with about twice that having received at least a first

dose.

That includes about 46% of those over 80, Allen said, and about a quarter of those over 65 (the age group which will become fully eligible for doses starting March 1).

Allen projects about three quarters of the state’s seniors will be vaccinated by March 29, weeks ahead of the state’s previous timeline.

According to Allen, the state’s big plans are predicated on big promises: He projects the state will have received 1.4 million first doses by the week of March 21, more than the 1.3 million people who will be eligible by then.

But those figures are based on projections by the federal government and the companies manufacturing the vaccines – expectations

which haven’t always been met in previous phases of the pandemic.

“Again, these projections depend entirely on our supply,” Allen said. “Until we see these doses show up in the ordering system, we’re going to continue to take a conservative approach.”

What’s more, it’ll still take several weeks for the state to reach that level if the manufacturers can meet that demand.

“For the next week or two, we’ll still face shortages,” Allen said Friday. “For the next week or two, appointments will be hard to get.

And for the next week or two, many seniors still won’t get a vaccine right away and many people will be frustrated and unhappy.”

According to Rachel Banks, Oregon’s public health director, the state determined the next slate of residents to get vaccinated with the help of an advisory committee, as well as federal regulations and state data about where people in the state are getting infected.

Banks said the state will soon have to shift its focus from getting enough doses to encouraging people to get the vaccine.

“Soon, we’ll reach a point where we no longer have too few doses for too many people who want them. We’ll have enough doses for everyone, but the question will be, will enough people take them?” Banks said. “I hope every Oregonian will make an informed decision, and as your public health director, I know vaccines are a vital tool to protect the health of the public.”

City plans to look at transportation ordinance for ridesharing Ridesharing services such as Uber and Lyft have become a popular mode of transportation worldwide. The City of Lincoln City was recently asked if such services are permitted within the city, which sparked some debate.

During the February 22 City Council meeting, council was asked if Uber and Lyft can operate in the city and according to City Attorney Richard Appicello, the answer is yes.

“I think that we don’t have Uber or Lyft here because their market requirements aren’t met here,” Appicello said. “Uber and Lyft would be regulated

the same way taxicabs are under our ordinance.”

Councilor Riley Hoagland, who has been bringing the issue to the forefront for several years, disagreed with Appicello and felt the current ordinance did not cover these services. Hoagland also said that it is not a fact that Lincoln City does not meet the market requirements.

“If you’ve talked to people who rely on cabs, it’s really been difficult and challenging for them lately and there’s sometimes

upwards of an hour wait,” Hoagland said. “This is just over the past six months, just imagine once businesses open and everyone is coming back in.”

Hoagland also cited recent changes in the City of Bend, who opened up their transportation services to include ridesharing. Hoagland proposed creating a new ordinance or reworking the current ordinance that would be similar to the one approved in Bend.

Councilor Anne Marie Skinner agreed with Hoa-

checks and police oversight of drivers, those things are in place,” he said.

Appicello redirected the discussion by stating that generally, Uber and Lyft was covered by the ordinance. But asked if council wanted to have a separate discussion to amend the ordinance.

“These requirements are set up for the protection of the consumer,” Appicello said. “Is it difficult for (Uber and Lyft) to meet some of these requirements, probably. But what lesser standard would you have me hold Uber and Lyft to?”

Appicello said he’d be willing to direct city staff to review similar transportation ordinances like the one that just passed in Bend. Hoagland made the motion to direct staff to look at similar ordinances in other cities. The motion passed with just one ‘nay’ vote coming from councilor Casper.

gland’s comments and said she has been asked several times why Uber and Lyft is not in Lincoln City.

“Uber and Lyft cars are not equipped with half of the items required by this ordinance,” Skinner said.

“There is absolutely no way anyone could do Uber or Lyft if they wanted to under this ordinance.”

Councilor Judy Casper said she was surprised by this agenda item and was unaware of a ridesharing issue within the city.

Councilor Mitch Parsons echoed Hoagland and Skinner’s comments and felt the ordinance needed to be rewritten.

Councilor Rick Mark said he recently combed through the current ordinance and felt that it was sufficient.

“When reviewing this ordinance, I actually found it comforting to know that these sort of requirements, in terms of insurance, criminal background

Vehicle thief arrested after short pursuit through town THE NEWS GUARD

The Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) arrested Andrew L. Barnett, 40, of Portland, after he stole a vehicle from an acquaintance and then led police on a short pursuit.

On Thursday, Feb. 25, at about 3:30 a.m., Lincoln City Police responded to a report that a vehicle parked at the North Shell Station, located at 4031 NW Hwy 101, had just been stolen. Upon arriving at the location, officers learned from the vehicle owner that she had stopped at the Shell station’s convenience store to purchase some items.

While she was inside the store an acquaintance who had stayed in the vehicle, drove off, taking the vehicle and the owner’s dog without permission.

Responding officers began searching the area for the vehicle and found it traveling southbound on NW Harbor at a high rate of

After driving through a yard, the driver crashed the vehicle over a steep embankment before fleeing on foot. speed before spinning out while trying to make a hard turn.

Officers attempted to initiate a traffic stop and the vehicle initially

pulled into a nearby driveway with officers stopping behind it. The driver of the vehicle then pulled forward and then reversed, almost backing into the police vehicle.

The driver then quickly accelerated forward driving through a yard before crashing the vehicle over a steep embankment in an attempt to get away. With the vehicle stuck partly in the road and partly on the embankment, the driver jumped out and started running away on foot with the officer following closely behind. The driver ran for about 50 feet before stopping as the officer was commanding him to do so.

The driver, and only occupant of the vehicle, was taken into custody without further incident and identified as Barnett. He was initially checked at the scene by medical personnel from Pac West Ambulance and North Lincoln Fire & Rescue before being transported to Samaritan North Lincoln

Hospital after he complained of having chest pains and a history of heart issues.

Once released from the hospital, Barnett was transported to the Lincoln County Jail and lodged on charges of Unlawful Use of a Motor Vehicle, Felony Elude in a Motor Vehicle, Misdemeanor Elude on Foot, Reckless Driving, Fail to Perform the Duties of a Driver Involved in a Crash and Theft I of a Companion Animal. The vehicle was towed from the location and the victim was reunited with her dog.

The LCPD thanked Pacific West Ambulance and North Lincoln Fire & Rescue for their assistance with this incident.

“We are thankful there were no injuries and only minor property damage sustained as a result of the pursuit,” LCPD officials said.

Information was submitted by Sergeant Jeffrey Winn.

LCSO continues investigation of alleged homicide MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Lincoln County investigators continue to piece together evidence related to the events surrounding the death of a Logsden man who was found laying alongside the road near Government Hill in Siletz.

A medical examiner determined last week that Richard A. Mann, 36, died by gunfire.

On Feb. 20, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) dispatch received a call reporting an

Education

unconscious male laying alongside the road and evidence at the scene suggested foul play according to the Lincoln County Major Crime Team.

On Feb. 23, investigators from the LCSO, Oregon State Police, Lincoln City Police Department, and Newport Police Department executed search warrants on two residences in the 500 block of Tolowa Court in Siletz. A vehicle and evidence were seized as a result of the search warrants.

Investigators interviewed several witnesses

last week and gathered additional evidence related to the events surrounding the shooting death of Mann. Law enforcement said last week they are interested in interviewing 23-year-old Donovan Eugene Carey-Bennett as a witness to the incident.

Carey-Bennett’s whereabouts have not been determined.

Lincoln County investigators also stated that a second subject by the name of Gavin Epperson, posted on social media regarding his alleged involvement in the shooting death. The

investigation into this incident is ongoing.

“It is still too early in the investigation to implicate or fully exonerate any of the involved parties or their actions,” LCSO officials said. “ The community rightfully holds the expectation that the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office acts only on the facts and evidence related to this case without bias or assumptions.”

Anyone who is in contact with Carey-Bennett, Epperson or has information regarding their whereabouts is asked to contact Detective Abby Dorsey at 541-265-0777.

from what anyone has ever experienced,” Clausing said.

“As we moved into this school year, we’re still hurdling over the health and safety issues of the COVID-19 virus, and several of our students were affected by the tragic event of the wildfires.

We experienced along with many others, more homeless families, lack of internet capabilities and other major resources.

“Our LCSD and community have been coming together in an increasingly abundant of ways in support of each other.

Through the troubles this has all brought I feel it has only grown us that much more together as a community.”

The Indian Education program not only keeps Native studies alive but it also provides students with extra support in graduation success. It does not limit students to personal tutoring, but also provides extra resources for scholarships and obtaining school supplies.

“Pulling through with great strength, I’m so proud to give

our Native Education students in the graduating class of 2020 a huge shout out, they finished strong with 100 percent graduation rate and we increased our overall attendance rate tremendously,” Clausing said.

Clausing is also president of the Native Student Association (NSA), which is a club open to all students that provides relationship growth and positive outlets in the community by finding ways to help inside and outside the Taft schools, all while still keeping the Native American culture alive.

“The beginning of this school year has been a constant overload in making sure our students are connected, ensuring they have everything they need, tutoring with parents so they can appropriately support their student in order to strive as much as possible,” Clausing said. “In a typical eight hour day I would be lucky to make it through five phone calls due to the need of support with the online devices and educational platforms.”

Currently meeting virtually on a weekly basis with grades 7-12, students have recently taken great interest in raising awareness for missing and murdered indigenous women (MMIW). The study was chosen by the students, Clausing said, and they have shown great dedication.

“These students were provided with a very powerful read in support of such awareness of, Killers of the Flower Moon,” Clausing said.

Recently, Clausing said they did not hesitate to begin meeting again with small cohorts of students and start lessons and tutoring in person.

“The first in person lesson was about becoming a water protector and how water is life,” Clausing said. “The families have really enjoyed this lesson and the amazing story that has been gifted to them. This has been one of my favorite lessons to teach, certifying and awarding our elementary students as Water Protectors.”

Through the many challeng-

es of the past year, the program remains active. Clausing said it’s in large part thanks to the community.

Our program would not be able to succeed without all the parents’ support that has come through,” Clausing said. “They have been the ones home trying to educate their child these past several months and as a mother of three myself, I know it hasn’t been easy. But hey, most importantly, we’re making it and holding strong.”

To keep students engaged and involved with their studies, Clausing said they recently started an incentive program for students who have a 90 percent or better weekly attendance and passing of classes. As a reward, students receive Native decals and stickers which Clausing said have been a big hit among the kids.

Typically, the program would host a Cultural and Literacy night every other month that was open to everyone.

These events allowed the community to learn more about the

wide variety of Native American cultures around us. Although those events have been put on hold, Clausing said they are planning new events, including one in April that include the helping hands of Star Kahn at the Lincoln City Driftwood Library, Krista Eddy at the Cultural Center and Loree Lafon at the Community Center.

“This event will be focused on ‘Giving back to Mother Earth’ in celebration of Arbor Day,” Clausing said. “We will be planting trees, reading about trees, painting trees, continuing to come together as an even stronger community in our efforts to help repair the damage that has been done by the wildfires... I am so excited for this event!”

Event details will be posted on the Lincoln City Oregon Indian Education Facebook page.

Disappointed In Rep. Schrader As a long time Democrat who moved back to Oregon not too long ago, I was shocked this morning when I saw that Kurt Schrader voted NO on the Covid-19 “American Rescue Plan.”

I went to his web site and saw no reason why he did such a thing, only his stuff about Oregon First.

I would like to know if the Democratic party here is in line with this vote?

Health Matters

by Samaritan Health Services

In a health rut? Vary your routines to freshen your outlook Making healthy choices is a good habit, but doing the same thing every day can become dreary, uninspiring or downright boring.

Variety is a spice that’s good for your body and your brain.

“Routines that help us stay on track are good, but ruts that keep us from exploring what else is out there, learning or growing are not beneficial,” said Kandice Abramson, registered dietitian, from Samaritan Weight Management Institute. “If you’re feeling bored, uninspired or frustrated about the healthy choices you’re making, the chances are you’re stuck in a rut.”

A rut can develop from a routine you started as a way to develop a good habit. Examples include doing the same exercise or eating the same salad every day.

Abramson highlights three routines that can easily turn into a rut, and some inspiration to help you rediscover enjoyment in healthy habits.

Mix it up at breakfast Eating the same breakfast every morning can make your day a little simpler, but you could be missing out on an opportunity to meet your five-a-day recommendation for fruits and veggies.

Look for ways to add variety to breakfast with an assortment of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. These foods can lower your risk of chronic diseases, cancer and obesity, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Try these breakfast ideas: • • •

Avocado or nut butter on whole-wheat toast with a side of fruit.

Hot, whole-grain cereal topped with fruit and nuts.

Smoothie with Greek yogurt, fruit and kale.

• •

Tofu or eggs and veggie scramble with whole-wheat toast or wrapped in a corn tortilla.

Breakfast sandwich with egg, tomato, spinach and basil.

Vary your exercise routine Endurance, strength, balance and flexibility are the basic categories of exercise, but many people only focus on one or two.

According to the National Institutes on Aging, doing some of each will give you the most benefits.

Look for ways to round out your workout each week. Add a few stretching and balance exercises before and after every workout and mix up your weekly routine with a variety of endurance and strength training options.

Try these exercise options: •

•

Interval training. If you are used to walking, add in some slow jogging or jumping jacks to get your heart pumping. Introducing high-intensity intervals helps build endurance and muscle strength.

Strength training. Start with squats, lunges, planks and push-ups.

•

Pilates, yoga or tai chi. These types of exercise can improve your strength, flexibility and balance.

Change up your evenings After a long day of work or errands, it can be tempting to spend your evening relaxing in front of the TV, browsing online, or both at the same time. While there’s nothing wrong with a little unwinding, research suggests that sedentary behavior is associated with a higher risk for chronic disease and depression.

Instead, Abramson recommends using your free time to pursue activities that bring you joy and that engage your mind.

Instead of the TV or other screen time: • • • • •

Read a book.

Spend time outside.

Play a game.

Reconnect with a hobby.

Make a date with friends.

“Start small,” Abramson recommends.

“Don’t worry about being perfect the first time; embrace the process of learning something new. Commit to trying just one new idea and then another. You’ll be glad you did!”

Aching wrist? What you need to know about carpal tunnel

By Erin Campaigniac, MD Samaritan Medical Group Orthopedics

You can also rest your wrist on a gel pad placed in front of your mouse.

Are you experiencing numbness, weakness, or pain in your hand or wrist? It may be carpal tunnel syndrome.

Is your wrist kinked or flexed when you hold your cellphone? Consider investing in a holding device to keep your wrist in a more neutral position. If you can, dictate your text messages instead of using your fingers and thumbs.

Caused by pressure on the median nerve due to swelling, carpal tunnel syndrome can be brought on by repetitive hand movements, pregnancy or medical conditions such as obesity.

Regardless of the cause, there are steps you can take to prevent it from slowing you down.

First, take good care of your general health.

Maintain a healthy weight, get regular exercise and refrain from tobacco use. This will help keep your arms, hands and fingers strong and flexible while preventing injuries from overuse.

When using a computer, maintain proper posture and practice pinching your shoulder blades together. Too much time hunched over is a primary cause of worsening nerve symptoms.

If you feel tingling and numbness, rest your fingers, hand and wrist and ice them for 10 to 15 minutes. Resume activity gradually once symptoms stop. Try a wrist splint to keep your wrist in a neutral position — not bent back or forward. You can even wear the splint at night.

We all sleep in positions that are awkward for our wrists. The splint helps ensure your nerve gets all the blood flow and oxygen it needs.

If returning to normal activity continues to cause discomfort, see a clinician who specializes in hand and wrist treatment to evaluate your options.

Treatment typically consists of physical or occupational therapy for stretching, wrist and posture exercises, oral medications or steroid injections. If conservative treatment doesn’t help, surgery to reduce pressure on the median nerve may be recommended. After surgery, the ligament grows back together and allows more space than before, eliminating your symptoms.

LCSD receives $70,000 grant from Safeway Foundation THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln County School District is pleased to announce that it has received a $70,000 grant to support hunger relief efforts, courtesy of the Nourishing Neighbors Safeway Foundation.

“We are so excited to receive this grant and are using the money to create emergency food pantries at all 13 Lincoln County schools,” said Jamie Nicholson, LCSD CNP Manager.

“In addition, we have created a warehouse to hold additional food items that will allow us to breathe new life into the Arcadia campus kitchen. We are grateful to our partners, Newport Roby’s Furniture & Appliance and Newport Builders First Source, for helping us prepare and stock the new warehouse. And we are excited to work closely with the district’s

East County JOY students to manage the warehouse, helping ensure long-term sustainability for the pantry program.”

The funding has also been used to supplement the district’s meal programs during the pandemic, providing three meals, seven days a week to all youth living in Lincoln County.

“Lincoln County has the highest per capita rate of youth homelessness in the state, which can create barriers for our youth, including food insecurity. But we believe that no student should go hungry.

So, we are grateful to have the opportunity to use this grant to help the most vulnerable members of our community,” said Patty Graves, Sodexo General Manager. “These school-based pantries will enable students to obtain dinner and weekend meals once students are back in school full-time and the meal

programs return to being onsite only.”

The Nourishing Neighbors Safeway Foundation’s Community Relief Initiative was established to help families impacted by the coronavirus pandemic and beyond. More than $77 million have been donated this year alone to help food banks, schools, and senior centers launch or maintain their meal programs.

This round of Nourishing Neighbors grants focuses on the needs of marginalized communities, which have been particularly hard hit. Roughly 86 percent of Latino households with children and 66 percent of Black households with children reported serious financial problems during the pandemic.

Across the board, the numbers are staggering.

“We’re distributing almost $14 million in grants to great

Safeway, Albertsons, and The Safeway Foundation have invested over $1 billion in our neighborhoods since 2001. community organizations that are dedicated to helping where the need is most urgent,” said Anjana Bhattarai, Program Officer, Albertson’s Foundation.

and composting back to your principal residence and dispose of it properly [or] you submit an affidavit and evidence that you take your solid waste, recycling, and composting to franchisee’s facility or other approved facility.

- Third: you submit an affidavit and evidence that you take your recycling and solid waste to franchisee’s facility or other approved facility and you produce and use your composting on-site.

There is also a provision for reduction of service to as little once a month.

During the Feb. 22 meeting, the city council had an opportunity to discuss the

new program with NLSS President Tina French.

Councilor Rick Mark opened the discussion with a reminder to the community.

“The whole point of this composting requirement really is the result of a state mandate,” Mark said. “This isn’t just something that us, back to the earth liberals, decided that everyone should do, we are responding to a requirement.”

Under Oregon law, all cities with at least 4,000 people must provide recycling services. Oregon’s recycling laws require local governments to implement recycling programs and, in some jurisdictions, waste prevention and reuse

programs.

DEQ regulates the cities, counties and metropolitan service districts (Metro) that provide Oregonians the opportunity to recycle.

Oregon’s recycling laws give local governments flexibility in implementing materials management programs and meeting voluntary materials recovery goals.

Councilor Mark asked if there were any penalties from the state that the city would face if they opted out of recycling programs, such as the new mixed compostables program.

“The short answer is yes, the long answer is, we don’t know exactly what that hammer is,” French said.

According to French, DEQ could state that Lincoln City did not meet its goals and require the city to pick more recycling goals in the future. Currently, there are not any financial penalties at this time, says French.

Councilor Mark said personally, he is excited about the new program and feels like it will reduce his solid waste garbage bill.

“I’m looking at maybe a dollar a month increase,” Mark said.

Beginning April 1, residential customers will have a rate increase on their bill of $6.85 per month for the new customers. If customers elect to not utilize the new Mixed Compostables service, the rate will still apply.

This has caused some concern for Lincoln City residents who are unhappy with the rise in their monthly bill. However, French said after running some numbers recently in regards to change in cost, she found that the majority of customers are paying for weekly pickup of a 32, 64 or 96 gallon container.

“To me, that means the majority of our customers could potentially size down, which would more than pay for the $6.85 a month for the mixed compostable can,” French said.

NLSS has received several calls about people feeling they will have no use

“I have a hard time believing they can’t put any of that waste into the compost bin,” French said.

“Some people, if you spend enough time on the phone with them, they’ll say ‘OK, I’ll give it a shot.’ And others will just say ‘nope, don’t want it.’ And I’m not going to force them to do something.

“I’m anticipating that more than 50 percent of the people who said they don’t want the can will change their mind. That’s what we’ve learned from other communities.”

The 2018 Lincoln Coun-

ty Materials Management Plan established a countywide 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.

For French, she feels composting is going to eventually become routine for most of the world similar to recycling plastics.

“We’re just at the tip of the iceberg with this, it’s new, and it’s new for all of society, not just Lincoln County,” French said.

“There’s an education that we need to do and it’s just changing habits. That’s hard to do for a lot of people, but we’ll get there.”

Project Turnkey provides grants for Lincoln City project THE NEWS GUARD

Oregon Community Foundation (OCF) recently announced that Project Turnkey is gaining momentum with three additional grants awarded to properties in Corvallis, Eugene and Lincoln City.

Northwest Coastal Housing (NWCH) in Lincoln City is a Project Turnkey grant awardee, slated to receive $3.348 million in state funds to purchase a 42room hotel along Highway 101 in Lincoln City, Oregon. Priority will be given to community members displaced by the Echo Mountain Complex Fire.

“This is wonderful news for survivors of the Echo Mountain Fire,” Claire Hall, Board of County Commissioners for Lincoln County and Chair of Oregon Housing Stability Council, said. “North Lincoln County’s critical housing shortage was exacerbated by the fire. Too many individuals and families are still living in their vehicles, are doubled up with friends or relatives, or in other unstable situations. This will give them a safe, long-term place to work on rebuilding their homes and their lives.”

Located at 1014 NE Hwy 101, Lincoln City, OR 97367, NWCH anticipates the new “Phoenix Rising NW” to be in use beginning in March 2021.

“We at Northwest Coastal Housing are so grateful for this opportunity to help our

Our goal is to ease the trauma, provide our occupants with lodging, help them to stabilize and breathe,” stated Sheila Stiley, Executive Director of Northwest Coastal Housing.

“Our agency was established to advocate for and support community efforts addressing

housing needs.

“This is an unconventional and innovative way of accomplishing just that, which seems to be a growing trend when responding to crisis, and we could not have succeeded without overwhelming support from our partners.”

Earlier this month OCF announced the first Project Turnkey grant of $4.2 million in state funds for Options for

Helping Residents of Ashland (OHRA) to purchase and transform an Ashland motel.

The new OHRA Center anticipates beginning to safely house community members negatively impacted by wildfires and COVID-19 pandemic beginning in March 2021.

“Now that the application window has closed, the Project Turnkey Advisory Committee is doubling down on efforts to

review and move highly-qualified applicants through the due diligence process,” said Megan Loeb, Program Officer, Oregon Community Foundation. “We have a strong pipeline of nearly 30 applicants and are excited to see more projects awarded in the weeks ahead.”

When funds became available from the state for this project, OCF convened a diverse statewide advisory committee to create an equitable review process of all applicants. Working with urgency, and with counsel from real estate development experts, the selection committee has condensed a complicated real estate transaction into a 6-8-week process.

“The scale of this humanitarian crises for unsheltered Oregonians is enormous,” said Dr. Ernesto Fonseca, CEO, Hacienda CDC and Project Turnkey Advisory Committee Member. “Project Turnkey is one innovative and cost-effective solution that brings affordable housing in record time to people in critical need.”

OCF has been studying root causes of Oregon’s dual crisis of homelessness and affordable housing for two years, beginning with research commissioned from ECONorthwest, “Homelessness in Oregon” which provided statewide analysis of the disproportionately large homeless population in Oregon.

tion between databases to have a more accurate count in the future.

Public Health knows the sign-up process can be difficult. The county has set up a call center to assist people by phone in English and Spanish. There are limited phone lines in the county system, so callers are experiencing delays or dropped calls.

The county is working on a resolution for this. Calls can also be made to 211 for assistance or to the Samaritan vaccination scheduling assistance line at 855-441-2311. More information can be found on our website at co.lincoln. or.us/covid or by emailing us at LincolnCoCallCenter@co.lincoln.or.us

Public Health asks that friends, family and neighbors of eligible people help them sign up for the vaccine. Public Health has an outreach video for partners or the public who want to help people sign up for the vaccine. The video is an hour-long presentation, but the description has links to topics that are of interest to you.

When someone gets on the county waitlist, we will keep their information active until we know they have received a vaccine. Public Health will email those who have signed up directly when there are new clinics open to invite them to sign up for a time and place of their choice. It may take some time as

the clinics could fill up quickly, but public health will continue to send notices.

The county waitlist is just one opportunity to get a vaccine. Some other options other than the county clinics are listed below.

State-wide Vaccine Information - to view eligibility requirements and see clinics available around the state.

Linn & Benton County vaccination events through Samaritan Health Services (open to Lincoln County residents).

Safeway Pharmacy - Only open to eligible groups. Located in Newport & Lincoln City BiMart Pharmacy - Vaccines coming soon. Located in Lincoln City

Costco Pharmacy - Located in Albany, Aloha, Bend, Central Point, Clackamas, Eugene, Hillsboro, Portland, Roseburg, Salem, Tigard, Warrenton, Wilsonville Salem Health Clinics (State Fairgrounds) - Per Salem health “Vaccine availability is very limited. If no appointments slots appear on MyChart, that means all available appointments have been filled. Please check back on MyChart regularly to see if additional appointments have opened. “ Additional pharmacies will be listed on the website once they have the vaccine.

Taft 7-12 begins sports season with limited schedule MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

On Feb. 26, Lincoln County will officially be deemed Low Risk for COVID-19 per the state’s framework, and the Lincoln County School District (LCSD) plans to take full advantage of that privilege by rolling out a full slate of athletic games starting March 2.

To start the season, Taft 7-12 now has contests scheduled for cross country, boys and girls soccer, volleyball and football. LCSD plans to operate all of its athletic events under the direction of Oregon Sector Guidance at a Lower Risk level, which means that onsite testing is no longer required by the state for contact football and player pad progression will resume on Feb. 26. The first contact football contest has been pushed to March 12 to meet pad progression requirements.

Contact football had been in question while Lincoln County was in High Risk but with the county’s improved classification, Superintendent Karen Gray said they have no intention of moving backward in contest offerings and will meet all

Taft 7-12 begin playing games this week against other regional schools. requirements to maintain contact football unless the decision is made outside of their control.

“We plan on remaining with contact football unless otherwise directed by the state or county guidance,” Gray said.

Although sports have been given the ‘OK’ to resume, it’s looking likely that student athletes will be playing without spectators in the stands, at least for now.

“Although we will begin to evaluate spectator attendance, we are not adding spectators beyond senior nights to our events just yet,” said Majalise Tolan, secondary director for LCSD. “It is important for LCSD coaches, staff and student-athletes to develop safe and equitable spectator procedures and are re-evaluating current game management practices, supervision expectations, and processes under

this new guidance.

“We know families are excited to watch their student-athletes play and will try to have streaming options available as often as possible.”

Taft 7-12 Athletic Director Matt Hilgers said the streaming options will be offered through NFHS Network. Subscriptions for NFHS Network are $10.99 monthly or $69.99 annually. The fee allows for full access to live regular season and postseason events as well as those available on-demand.

Hilgers has posted all the scheduled contests on the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) website. Scheduled games are subject to change.

Taft boys soccer kicks off the season at Tillamook High School on March 2, followed by a game at Newport on March 3. Both games are scheduled for 4 p.m.

The girls soccer team will also play at Newport on March 3. The game is slated for a 6 p.m. start time.

The volleyball, football and cross country schedules feature only Lincoln County competition. Vol-

leyball starts their season March 3 with a home game against Waldport followed by another home game March 5 against Toledo. Both games are scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Cross country currently has just two meets on the schedule. The first will be March 6 in Toledo, starting at 10 a.m. The second will be at Taft 7-12 on March 10, starting at 3 p.m.

Lastly, the football team will host Toledo for a flag football game on March 5, starting at 7 p.m., followed by a full contact game against Newport, at home, on March 12.

That game also starts at 7 p.m.

See the full schedules online.

“We appreciate and honor the work our families, staff, and student-athletes have been doing to follow safe and healthy procedures since resuming sports on October 12, 2020,” Tolan said. “We will not take this new status lightly and will continue visual screening of student-athletes and staff, frequent sanitation of equipment, physical distancing when not in direct competition, wearing masks, and washing/sanitizing our hands. We want to stay safe and stay open.”

Lincoln City youth cheer gets back to competition THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln City Rec Cheerleading Minis, Youth and Juniors will be taking to the mat virtually to compete this season. They have been working hard to prepare their routines that meet the state standards due to COVID-19.

Head Coach Tonia Anderson said that she is extremely proud of all the cheerleaders this season as well as her two Assistant Coaches.

“They have overcome so much with the pandemic, wildfires, and the recent ice storm,” Anderson said. “Just

the waiting to know if they would even have a season to compete in this year was so hard on everyone. They never gave up hope. They kept working hard, conditioning, building skills and most importantly building strong team relationships.

“Our season looks a lot differently this year. Starting with how they arrive for practices. It’s a parent drop off this year with a temperature check before they enter the practice area. Mask on before entering the building. Staying 6 feet apart and abiding to the rules set forth

by OHA. Safety being our

number one concern for our cheerleaders and coaches.

“They will not be stunting this season because we are considered a full contact sport. This will give us the opportunity to focus on building other skills and becoming strong in other areas as a team.”

Virtual competitions run seven weeks in a row with the first competition the McMinnville Invitational being held on March 20.

Teams must record their first routine submission and have it to the competition coordinator by Thursday, March 18 at the deadline.

The three teams will take Monday to review and make any team corrections that they need and then on Tuesday they will record their submissions. The Mini team, made up of three young athletes grades K–1 and Youth made up of athlete’s 1– 4 grades will only compete in the Traditional Non-Building Division. Juniors made up of athletes grades 4–8 will compete in Traditional NonBuilding and the Game Day Division.
