Newport considers supporting residential treatment facility HILARY DORSEY Editor
N
ewport City Council directed city administration Monday, March 21, to look at financial options to support Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital’s proposed residential treatment facility for substance use disorders. The facility will serve adults with substance use disorder from across Oregon, with priority given to residents of Lincoln County. As a nonprofit health care provider, Samaritan does not turn anyone away for inability to pay. Lesley Ogden, chief executive officer for Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital and Pacific Communities Hospital, said they have been talking about this proposal for years and who might be a partner. The district purchased a facility that was previously Graceland Care Homes, an adult foster care facility. The location had been vacant for some time. “That facility went through a 60-day due diligence period and was found to be very appropriate for a substance abuse treatment facility use,” Ogden said. “In a very bold leadership move, Pacific Communities Health District placed an offer on that property of $950,000 and that was accepted.” Samaritan Health Services is committed to operating a recovery center in Lincoln County and needs partners to finance the capital costs for the facility. “We’re going to need some help getting this facility paid for in that the facility as is, is not able to support everything that we need it to
be,” Ogden said. “It does not currently have any sort of medical space or enough office space. It doesn’t have a commercial kitchen or a joint place to sit down and eat a meal.” The facility is planned to have 16 beds with some shared rooms if possible. “The facility, as it is now, is a 12-bed facility,” Ogden said. “If we can, and we’re able to with COVID restrictions, will easily be able to make with some shared rooms a 16-bed facility.” Partner organizations are being asked to play a part in the project. She proposed the city contribute by waiving the particular infrastructure sort of charges that would come their way. “We have many, many other partners to have the same discussion with,” Ogden said. “The really great thing is no one is saying no. Everyone is saying yes.” Ursula Marinelli, coastal foundations director for Samaritan Foundations, said health and human services has said Oregon is number two in the country for substance use disorder and it would be great to have that facility locally. People have to drive to Corvallis to seek treatment. “We are working with our government liaison, who works with Samaritan, regarding connecting with those states Legislation dollars that have been given through state Legislation to Oregon Health Authority,” said Marinelli. Marinelli said there is theoretically funds available for this kind of program. Samaritan has one of these centers in Lebanon. “We’ll be sharing an operations director, a medical director between the two facilities,” Ogden said.
City Manager Spencer Nebel said if the council is interested in participating financially in this project, they should look at a dollar contribution. The city will be receiving a settlement from the opioids class action suit. Those funds have to be used to address the opioid crisis. “We’re supposed to get about $18,000 over

S
tephen Goetz, 75 years old, has a mission to spread joy to Lincoln City. You may have seen him on Hwy 101, dancing and waving to the cars passing by. Goetz moved to Lincoln City in 2018. He had lived in Portland at one time when he was younger. He has also lived in California. “I’m trying to get back to my self-worth and be happy now,” Goetz said. “I had trauma so much in my life and now I’m setting my soul free like a butterfly.” He lived in Sacramento for 38 years while taking care of his mom. He started dancing on the street during a trip to San Francisco, blowing kisses to cars that passed. He then danced in Sacramento at a bus stop. People liked the dancing, Goetz added. They honked and blew kisses back. “I kept it up,” Goetz said. “I just send love out on the street.” Goetz also writes poetry. “This August, I’m going to be in the third
book coming out, a poetry anthology book, with 123 writers around the world,” Goetz said. “It’s published in India.” Goetz said his work appears in the book’s two hard copy versions per year. “GloMag” is printed every February and August by Glory Sasikala. The books are put out for sale in India and sometimes the U.K. They are also sold on Amazon. “I’ve had poems published in the Seychelles Islands and all over online,” Goetz said. “I’m proud of myself.” Goetz has won awards from Motivational Strips, an active writers forum. He has poet friends from all over the world and over 1,000 friends on Facebook, many of which are fans of his poetry. “I’m going to rise like a phoenix up here,” Goetz said. “I’m for the underdog always.” Goetz said he is going to spread his love back on the street. “I’m going to keep dancing,” Goetz said. Dancing for passerby is important to him as so
many people are down. He hopes to lift people up with his positivity. He’s been told his dancing makes people smile. Many people call him Uncle Stevie.

ODFW now prohibits taking of sea stars HILARY DORSEY Editor
The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) Commission voted Friday, March 18, to change shellfish regulations to prohibit harvest of sea stars and increase the daily bag limit for non-native European green crabs to 35. These changes are now in effect. During the meeting, ODFW’s shellfish program leader Stephen Rumrill presented a package of four proposed changes. Proposed changes to shellfish rules include prohibiting the taking of sea stars, increase the daily catch limit of European green crab, require electronic fish tickets for bay clam fisheries, and establish a landing limit for gaper clam for the dive fishery in Yaquina Bay. “Oregon’s shellfish fisheries are diverse,” Rumrill said. “First with regard to the recreational fisheries, we allow harvest of a diverse group of about 30 different species.” These groups include Dungeness crab, Red Rock crab, clams and more. Sea stars and European green crab are also included in recreational fisheries. Rumrill said multiple species of sea stars have experienced mass mortality along the west coast since 2013 due to Sea Star Wasting Disease. This is coincident with changing ocean conditions. “Some species of sea stars, like the ochre star, have recovered somewhat,” Rumrill said. “Other species of sea
stars have not recovered at all.” There has been a 90 percent coastwide decline of sunflower sea stars after Sea Star Wasting Disease. “NOAA Fisheries is currently considering a petition by the Center for Biological Diversity to place them on an Endangered Species List, pending a decision in 2022,” Rumrill said. Existing ODFW rules allowed the take of 10 sea stars per person per day, Rumrill added. “This is a prudent management action at this time to demonstrate the commitment to conservation,” Rumrill said of the action. European green crabs are a recent aggressive invasive species with the potential to disrupt communities of native shellfish. The mid-sized shore crab inhabits the mid-region of estuaries. They can be green, brown, yellow, red or blue in color but are easily identified by three prominent bumps between their eyes and five spines along the side of their carapace. “[They were] first observed in Coos Bay in 1997,” Rumrill said. Additional regulations for commercial bay clam fisheries were also approved at the meeting, including the requirement for electronic, rather than paper, fish tickets and designation of a harvest area and annual landing cap for the commercial gaper clam dive fishery in Yaquina Bay.

Fatal crash on Hwy 18 in Lincoln County announced Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers and emergency personnel responded to the report of a two-vehicle collision at 5:59 p.m. Friday, March 18, on Hwy 18 near milepost 7. According to police, preliminary investigation revealed an eastbound Ford F250 pickup, operated by Daniel Toriz of Salem, struck a Ford Focus, operated by Erin Nash of Lincoln City, as it pulled out of a parking lot directly in front of him. It is believed Nash was attempting to turn left and drive westbound on Hwy 18.
Nash was extricated from her vehicle and transported to Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. She sustained fatal injuries and was later pronounced deceased. Toriz, and his two passengers, Juan Toriz Villafan of Salem and a juvenile male, were not injured in the crash. Hwy 18 was closed for over three hours while the collision was investigated.

How to make a bucket list a reality
The idiom “kick the bucket” is a euphemism for passing away, however, the phrase “bucket list,” sheds a brighter light on the topic of mortality. A bucket list is a plan for living life to its fullest and prioritizing opportunities to engage in all sorts of activities. It can be made at any point in life and is not exclusive to individuals facing their own mortality. Here are some tips for putting bucket list plans into action. Think about what you really want to experience in your lifetime. Leave factors like money or proximity out of it. No ideas are off-limits. This is your opportunity to brainstorm.
Write the bucket list in a comfortable or inspiring place, allowing ideas to flow freely. The place might be a cozy nook at a bookstore or a quiet spot on the beach. Choose ideas that are meaningful to you as well as ones that are fun. Make your list a mix of each, and don’t take yourself too seriously. Divide the bucket list by time, such as by season or period in life. If your bucket list involves moving to a bustling city, determine if you’d like to do that after your children have reached adulthood or if you want to expose them to city life as youngsters. Categorizing the list by
periods of your life can make it easier to prioritize certain activities over others. Determine if each bucket list activity will be a solitary or joint pursuit. Various activities are more enjoyable when shared with others, but some you might want to do alone. Set aside a budget for funding bucket list activities. Bucket lists may include some costly activities, so start saving now. Open a savings account specifically for funding bucket list excursions. Bucket lists can encourage people to live life to the fullest and it’s never too early to get started on a list of your own.

City to consider updating ordinance to include rideshare companies HILARY DORSEY Editor
Lincoln City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance that would add regulations to address other vehicles for hire, such as Uber and Lyft. The council will consider the second reading at the council meeting Monday, March 28. The city council had directed staff to update the taxicab ordinance to attend to other vehicles for hire, including transportation network companies like Uber and Lyft. A future resolution to tackle fees will be on a council agenda prior to the ordinance’s effective date. The application fee will be subject to public comment. Councilor Rick Mark said if someone thinks they now want to be an Uber driver and want to apply, they must go to the city and get the proper license, show proof of insurance, go through a criminal background check and have their vehicle inspected. City Attorney Richard Appicello said this ordinance, like the existing ordinance, has hoops to jump through to operate in the city. According to the ordinance, not person shall operate any vehicle for hire business in the city without possessing a valid license for that business and its vehicles, as well as any other license required by law, including but not limited to a business occupation tax permit. The license issued is valid for one year. Any renewal must be approved by the city prior
to the expiration date in order for the taxi company or vehicle for hire to continue providing vehicle for hire services within the city. The application fee for the license will be established by the council. “I’m trying to work with the finance department because the police department had wanted this ordinance not to be administered by the police depart-
ment,” Appicello said. “We still have some changes to make. They have some suggestions about those applications as well which is why I’m asking that you approve first reading this evening and then set second reading for the 28th.” The council approved the first reading of the ordinance.

BottleDrop announces fundraising to support Mercy Corps’ Ukraine relief efforts The Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative (OBRC), which operates the BottleDrop network, announced Monday, March 21, that it is engaging its Emergency Fund to support humanitarian relief services being provided to Ukrainians through the Portland-based nonprofit, Mercy Corps. Mercy Corps is a global crisis response and humanitarian organization operating in over 40 countries, and has rapidly deployed teams to help people in Ukraine, Poland and Romania who have been displaced by the conflict in Ukraine. Between now and April 10, BottleDrop is encouraging its over 810,000 Green Bag account holders to make donations from their BottleDrop accounts to support Mercy Corps’ Ukraine relief efforts and will be matching those donations with a $25,000 contribution from the OBRC Emergency Fund. BottleDrop account holders can direct their donations by visiting BottleDropCenters. com/Ukraine and logging in to their accounts. Oregonians can also donate OR 10-cent redeemable cans and bottles directly to this effort (and have their funds matched) by taking them to any BottleDrop Redemption Center and letting staff on site know they would like to donate them to Mercy Corps’ Ukraine relief efforts. “A devastating catastrophe is unfolding in Ukraine and in the region, costing and threatening lives and livelihoods, driving families apart and causing mass displacement. We are grateful for the immense generosity we’re seeing from people globally and here in our hometown community and across the State of Oregon to support our efforts to help Ukrainians in urgent need of assistance,” said Lynn Hector, director of communications at Mercy Corps.
Over three million people have already fled Ukraine since Feb. 24, leaving their homes, possessions and livelihoods behind, making this the fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II. The United Nations estimates that 10 million Ukrainians – a quarter of their population – could be displaced both inside and outside of the country. “We are devastated by the tragedy in Ukraine, and we wanted to find a way to engage the BottleDrop network and help Ukrainians seeking safety. Oregonians routinely put their bottles and cans to great use supporting nonprofits and community organizations. Now we have a chance to use our BottleDrop funds and redeemable containers to help our distant neighbors in Ukraine during this horrible crisis,” said Eric Chambers, director of external relations at OBRC.

Man arrested after allegedly pointing gun at other driver during road rage incident The Newport Police Department received a call at 1:18 p.m. Sunday, March 20, of a possible road rage incident in the area of Hwy 101 near N 6th Street in Newport. Information was received that one of the drivers in the incident had brandished a handgun at another driver.
According to police, officers responded and contacted the reporting victim. The investigation revealed that the suspect driver, later identified as Dylan Deer of Corvallis, pulled a handgun and pointed it at the victim while they were driving. The victim stated they

block of N Coast Hwy. Officers arrived and located Deer inside his vehicle, police said. Deer was detained and questioned. Deer admitted to being involved and stated he brandished a propane torch lighter towards the victim. Deer consented to a search of his vehicle where
officers located a small handgun concealed in the center console of the Deer’s vehicle. The weapon matched the description given to officers by the victim. Deer later admitted to possessing and pointing the firearm at the victim because he was upset and wanted to teach the
victim a lesson. Deer was taken into custody and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail for the following charges;

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letter: Sports complex in Taft area I have lived in Lincoln City for 50 years and I love where I live. Through those years I have seen the City do some great and not so great things. In the spirit of the Oscar season I would like to award the City the ‘Most Bodacious Item’ trophy for their plan to spend $4 million building a sports complex in the Taft area. Honorable mention will go to the state for contributing $1 million to this project. Have none of the people from the city (the council) or state that are involved in the voting on this actually driven down Hwy 101 and observed the tsunami zone warning signs? Have they not walked the less than ¾ mile from the ocean
to the building site—all at sea level? Have they forgotten the earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Japan 11 years ago that killed 22,000 people? How can they justify this? One might presume this complex would be built to ‘tsunami standards’ and if it is and sustains a hit then we can shout ‘hooray’ because now there will be a ready made morgue for the bodies of the hundreds of people who will die in an earthquake and tsunami. -Barbara Crandall, Lincoln City
GUEST COLUMN Lincoln County Fire Defense Board position regarding Mutual Aid Agreements BRYAN DANIELS, FIRE CHIEF –DEPOE BAY FIRE LINCOLN COUNTY FIRE DEFENSE BOARD CHIEF BDANIELS@DEPOEBAYFIRE.COM
My office has received several inquiries regarding the intergovernmental relationships between Central Oregon Coast Fire & Rescue and Seal Rock Rural Fire Protection District. While I cannot comment on the Intergovernmental Agreements (ORS 190) in place between the two agencies, the Lincoln County Fire Defense Board has been asked to provide input regarding both fire districts and their involvement in the updated Lincoln County Fire Protection Mutual Aid Agreement. The Lincoln County Fire Defense Board recently approved an updated Mutual Aid Agreement (February 2022). In addition to updating the decade-old document, this agreement more clearly defines minimum standards related to fire service personnel qualifications, minimum response requirements, and fire apparatus standards and equipment complements. The Fire Defense Board further agreed that these standards are to be maintained by each participating fire agency to
meet the minimum requirements as approved, or at an equivalency, at the discretion of the Fire Chief of each participating agency. The Mutual Aid Agreements of the past have served each fire agency well, and while strictly voluntary, these agreements have proven time and time again, if not daily, to be an absolute necessity Countywide. The Fire Defense Board fully endorses fire agencies in Lincoln County to participate in this agreement and to respond across jurisdictional boundary lines when able to do so without hindering local operational needs. The Fire Defense Board also expects Fire Chiefs and Fire Boards/Directors to ensure their personnel and equipment meetthe agreedupon standards (or at an industry equivalency). These standards are in place to ensure rapid deployment of resources, maintain fireground operational readiness, and limit liabilities to and on behalf of each agency when responding to or receiving mutual aid assistance. These also help fireground commanders know the capabilities of responding resources and allow receiving agencies to task incoming personnel and equipment without delay.
The Fire Defense Board of Lincoln County does not police these standards and will not perform audits to confirm compliance. At no time will a fire agency be “written out” based on their ability to meet the agreement’s standards unless specifically requested by an agency. I have yet to receive such a request and would strongly oppose any agency asking to be removed from this integral part of emergency response within Lincoln County. The reality of this approach remains that if agencies can’t respond to outside mutual aid assistance as agreed with minimal standards, they shouldn’t respond unless explicitly requested. This does not absolve other agencies from responding to assist those that can’t meet the agreed standards; in fact, it highlights the importance of these agreements as written; to help those that need assistance. The fire service is enveloped in deep traditions of honor and trust. We honor each other’s word. We trust each other to look out for one another’s personnel. We trust each other to respond and assist when able. We trust each other to do the right thing for all of Lincoln County. We are a cooperative FIRE SERVICE, and that is what the public expects us to deliver.
From the COVID Trenches, a Plea to Follow the Facts and Vaccinate Children BY CHANDY C. JOHN, MARK R. SCHLEISS AND SALLIE PERMAR
As experts in pediatric infectious diseases, vaccination and epidemiology, we are on the frontlines when it comes to COVID-19 and children. Collectively, we have cared for hundreds of children with severe cases of COVID-19, experiencing firsthand the complexity of caring for a child battling this novel illness and the agony of seeing a child succumb to its ravages. We cannot stay silent as we witness the barrage of misinformation deterring parents from vaccinating children 5 years old and older against COVID-19. Americans need facts, not agendas. First, the sheer number of very sick children should be every parent’s wake-up call. The vaccination data are alarming. As of March 9, only 27 percent of U.S. children between the ages of 5 and 11 and 56 percent between 12 to 15 are fully vaccinated, leaving tens of millions of children still unvaccinated. And while most of those children who will get COVID-19 will have mild to moderate illness, the small percentage of this huge pool of unvaccinated children that will become severely ill translates into large numbers of children needing specialized care. COVID-19 has already resulted in the tragic deaths of more than 1,000 children in the nation and put a major strain on the healthcare system with children spending more than 550,000 days
in hospitals. More children have died of COVID-19during the two years of the pandemic than died from influenza between 2010 and 2016. The many hospitalized children have overwhelmed hospitals, doctors and healthcare staff. And it’s not just admitted children that need care; our clinics have received hundreds of calls from parents concerned about the effects of long COVID on their children. Second, America has an unequivocally safe vaccine available for children. The Food and Drug Administration has approved the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine for children 5 years and older — and the agency has done so because of its superb safety record. In children 5-11 years old, there are no reports of major adverse events above what is typically found in the general population. In children 12-15 years old, the rare early reports of myocarditis in males occurred with shorter spacing of doses (three weeks). With the longer spacing now recommended (eight weeks), rates should be no higher than in the baseline population, as occurred when longer spacing was used in adult males age 18-24 years. Third, the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine is highly effective in children. Trials of the vaccine have shown 100 percent effectiveness in preventing infection in children 12-15 years old and 91 percent effectiveness in children 5-11 years old. Although a recent as-yet unpublished study showed a
decrease in vaccine effectiveness in children against Omicron infection, this and another study still showed protection against hospitalization (73 percent to 90 percent in older children and 48 percent to 74 percent in younger children). More precise estimates will come with further research, but these two studies strongly support the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines against severe illness, the most important measure of protection. A third dose in children is likely to improve protection even more. Finally, COVID-19 is not going away anytime soon. Although the Omicron wave has faded and cases are decreasing across the country, other variants will emerge. One example is the new BA.2 variant (the so-called “stealth Omicron”), already taking hold in many parts of the world. The good news is that the current lull in the United States provides an invaluable opportunity to prepare for future
variants by vaccinating as many children and adults as possible. These are the facts, and they must reach every community. Black, Hispanic and Native American children have been at much greater risk of death from COVID-19 compared to White children throughout the pandemic, yet have lowervaccination rates. The lower vaccination rates signal a glaring inequity in vaccine education and distribution, and it is essential to engage with these communities in combating vaccine hesitancy and increasing vaccine access. American parents rely on science when it comes to their children. Consider widespread adoption of safety measures such as car seats, seatbelts and the usual array of childhood vaccines. In doing so, they have saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of children and avoided millions of hospitalizations. By every metric a parent should
consider for the wellbeing of their child, the vaccine is safe and effective, with the benefits far outweighing any risk. From where we stand in hospital wards and research labs, there is neither a reason to hesitate nor a moment to lose.

Educational webinar on combatting ocean acidification, hypoxia From 6:30-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 26 Audubon Society of Lincoln City invites you to explore how climate change is affecting our ocean environment. These changes not only threaten the ecological balance of marine life, but also put our food supply and many livelihoods at risk. Lincoln City Audubon, in partnership with Oregon Coast Community College, is presenting a webinar on April 26 that examines climate changes to ocean water quality, known as ocean acidification and hypoxia. Oregon was one of the first places in the world where scientists observed ocean acidification, evidenced by weakened shells in the shellfish growing industry. Low oxygen levels, or hypoxia, compound the problem. Since 2006, combatting Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia (OAH) has become a central issue in Oregon’s climate and ocean management planning. Responding to the increasing awareness and severity of OAH events, the governor and state legislators have made investments in Oregon’s future by establishing the Oregon OAH Coordinating Council and committing to the Oregon OAH Action Plan. Dr. Charlotte Whitefield will share examples of climate change effects on our ocean and what we can do about them. Whitefield works at Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) as their first dedicated OAH staff member, supporting the state’s OAH Council for the past four years. Before coming to ODFW, Whitefield was a NOAA Knauss Fellow in Washington, D.C., working for Senator Murkowski on her Oceans Caucus, Arctic Caucus, and ocean acidification initiatives. Whitehead received her master’s degree from University of New England, Maine, and her Ph.D. from the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, where she studied sea cucumber aquaculture.

Lincoln County discusses update to Ambulance Service Area ordinance HILARY DORSEY Editor
Lincoln County Board of Commissioners discussed at a meeting Wednesday, March 16, an update to the Ambulance Service Area ordinance. The board will make a decision at the March 30 meeting. The Lincoln County Ambulance Service Review Commit-
tee is responsible for review of the Ambulance Service Area (ASA) Plan every five years and make recommendations for improvements to the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners. The commissioners are to review the recommended revisions and approve as appropriate. Kristin Yuille, county coun-
sel, said this ordinance includes amendments to the Lincoln County code. The update increases the notice of discontinued service in a service area to 180 days. “I want to clarify because there was some discussion of who is responsible over what,” Yuille said. “In Oregon, a county is responsible for the
local EMS system.” This includes how responses are made, Yuille added. Counties are responsible for a 911 system and what occurs and how it occurs when an ambulance is dispatched to a scene. Once the ambulance arrives to a scene and the person needs to be transported, the care of the in-
dividual would be transferred to the ambulance company. “Currently, we are going through the process of assigning new ASA areas,” Yuille said. “The current contracts will expire June 30 of this year.” That application process will likely begin next month. There are currently five ASA zones in Lincoln County:
North Lincoln County, Depoe Bay area, central Lincoln County, Waldport area, and Yachats area. The ordinance will be brought back before the commissioners on Wednesday, March 30, for the second reading. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month
Lincoln City Police plans to conduct enforcement operations The month of April has been designated as the National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and the Lincoln City Police Department will be utilizing traffic safety grant funds to conduct enhanced enforcement operations during the month. LCPD will be joining other law enforcement agencies across the state and nation in conducting these enhanced enforcement operations. The first enhanced enforcement operation is planned for April 4th, with additional operations to follow during the month. Distracted driving is a dangerous behavior for drivers, passengers and non-occupants alike. Distracted driving is a specific type of inattention that occurs when drivers divert their attention from the task of driving, to focusing on some other activity instead. These enforcement efforts are designed to increase the number of law enforcement officers on patrol with an emphasis on seeking out drivers who are distracted by talking or texting on their cell phones or using other elec-
tronic devices while they are operating their vehicle. The goal of these enhanced enforcement efforts is to increase the safety of the citizens and visitors of Lincoln City. Statistical information provided by Oregon Impact and NHTSA indicate that between 2012 and 2019, nearly 26,004 people died in crashes involving a distracted driver. While fatalities from motor vehicle crashes decreased slightly in 2018, distraction-related fatalities increased by 10%. In addition, distracted driving crashes accounted for 15% of injury crashes and 14% of all police reported motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2019. The Distracted Driving Enforcement grant funds are a valuable resource that assist the police department in improving the traffic safety in the community. The department’s objective is to raise awareness of the dangers of distracted driving and to reduce the number of distracted drivers from the roadways to prevent crashes that cause injuries and cost lives. These grant funds were made possible through the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact.

Oregon employers, workers invited to take a ‘Safety Break’ May 11 Committing to workplace health and safety is no small task. New hazards and challenges arise – sometimes unexpectedly. Stepping back to examine how far you have come and how far you still need to go can be difficult during the daily thrum of work. Yet, it is essential. That is why Oregon OSHA encourages employers and workers across the state to take part in Safety Break for Oregon. The annual event – now in its 19th year – calls on employers and workers to pause and reflect on the importance of protecting people from hazards and harm while
on the job. Will you take the Wednesday, May 11, stand-down as an opportunity to refresh your knowledge and training? Will you conduct a clear-eyed examination of where safety and health could be improved at your worksite? Or will you celebrate your successes and recognize emerging safety leaders? The choice of activity is yours. Sign up now. You could even win a $100 prize. “This stand-down provides an opportunity for employers and workers to remember the high value they should place on
preventing injury and illness in the workplace,” said Lou Savage, interim administrator for Oregon OSHA. “Safety Break for Oregon is not merely symbolic. It offers a genuine opportunity to
focus on making safety a reality in the workplace by identifying and eliminating hazards.” Oregon OSHA encourages employers and workers to share their Safety Break activities
on social media; tag Oregon OSHA on Facebook and LinkedIn with #SafetyBreak. As you plan your Safety Break event, make sure to follow the current COVID-19 guidance and workplace rules. Oregon OSHA’s COVID-19 updates and resources are available. If you have questions about how to apply Oregon OSHA rules to your workplace, contact our technical specialists for free. If you want free and confidential help reviewing and improving your safety and health program – or with returning to work safely as COVID-19 evolves – contact
our consultation services. Employers that sign up online by Friday, May 6, and participate in Safety Break for Oregon will be entered to win one of three $100 checks to be used for a luncheon of their choice. The prizes will go to participating companies as part of a random drawing. The Oregon SHARP Alliance sponsors the contest. The nonprofit group promotes safety and health management by encouraging teamwork and cooperation among people, employers, and organizations to improve workplace health and safety for Oregon workers.
Western Oregon Resource Council public meeting March 30-31 The Bureau of Land Management’s Western Oregon Resource Advisory Council is planning to meet March 30 to 31. At the meeting the BLM will provide an overview of the Title II of the Secure Rural Schools and Community SelfDetermination Act process and provide an update on recreation fee proposals. Title II funds support restoration projects that may not otherwise have been completed, such as the improved maintenance of existing infrastructure, enhancement of forest ecosystems, and restoration of land health and water quality. In turn, these projects create additional employment opportunities in western Oregon communities and foster collaborative relationships between those who use public lands and those who manage them.
Individuals, nonprofit organizations, organized groups and local governments are encouraged to submit funding applications for natural resource projects that benefit the lands in the 18 western Oregon counties: Benton, Clackamas, Columbia, Coos, Curry, Douglas, Jackson, Josephine, Klamath, Lane, Lincoln, Linn, Marion, Multnomah, Polk, Tillamook, Washington and Yamhill. The meeting will be held over the Zoom platform from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day on March 30 and 31. The meetings are open to the public, with a public comment period scheduled on March 30 at 2:30 p.m. Those wishing to participate in the Zoom meetings must register in advance of the meeting at: https://blm.zoomgov.com/webinar/register/WN_pLpbh88O-
