Making waves

Local artist inspired by the Great Wave

HILARY DORSEY Editor

ocal artist Chris Wilhelm painted a mural of a wave on Debra Friedmann’s garage door in 2016, symbolizing Friedman’s recovery from a stroke. Wilhelm recently refinished it.

Wilhelm said he has gone to touch it up but this was the first time he has repainted the entire mural.

Friedmann and her husband live in Washington D.C. and have a home in Lincoln City.

“I grew up in West Linn, Oregon,” Friedmann said. “I went to University of Washington.”

In D.C., Friedmann works as a master tour guide. Their home in Lincoln City is a sort of getaway.

“I had a stroke five years ago,” Friedmann said. “After the stroke, I came to [Lincoln City] to recuperate.”

Friedmann said her husband was helpful in her recovery. Friedmann thought it would be a wonderful idea to paint a recovery image on their garage.

“We found Chris, who was just amazing how he could imagine what I imagined to the fullest,” Friedmann said.

“He really did this impressive wave.”

It took Wilhelm two days to paint the mural, not including prep work.

“I wish everyone would paint a mural on their garage,” Friedmann said.

Wilhelm has also painted another piece this year, a painting of a wave near Friedmann’s front door, which complements the house. The couple bought the house many years ago and love to come back to the beach.

“I love that image,” Friedmann said of the mural. “Because of that, I can carry that image with me other places.”

Friedmann believes a wave is like recovery, as the ocean is always recovering.

Wilhelm won first place in Lincoln City’s mural contest in 2014 for Lincoln City bus shelters. The contestants had a chance to win first, second or third place cash awards based on the votes of the public viewings of the murals. Wilhelm won first pace for an ethereal depiction of a universe. His mural was placed at the bus shelter near D’Sands Motel.

Wilhelm has also done some residential murals throughout the city.

City discusses agreement for D River Park, planned welcome center

Celebrate Arbor Month with Lincoln City Parks & Recreation

HILARY DORSEY Editor

L

incoln City Council discussed Monday, April 11, an intergovernmental agreement for the improvement and operation of D River Park between the state, Oregon Parks and Recreation Department, and the city of Lincoln City. The city is prepared to make a substantial investment to improve the D River Park facility, as well as expand outdoor recreation activities at the location.

With the agreement, OPRD allows the city, for an initial term of 50 years, the exclusive right to develop, improve and utilize the D River Park in the same manner the city would with a city park.

The 2021 Legislature approved funding for construction of a welcome center, upgrading restrooms and improving beach access at D River Wayside, the staff report states. This funding will be provided as a grant to the city in the amount of $2.5 million, to be financed by the issuance of State of Oregon Lottery Revenue Bonds, which are expected to be issued in spring 2023.

Mayor Susan Wahlke said the $2.5 million from the state will not cover the entire cost of improvements. City Attorney Richard Appicello said the city has available funds to assist from

Transient Room Taxes. Authorized expenditures of these funds include construction and funding of tourismrelated facilities, such as a visitor information center. The city currently has around $2.1 million in these funds.

Another concern was that the agreement would rule out the possibility of the use of the parking lot for activities or events.

“There is other parking available pretty close by,” Wahlke said. “I’d just hate not to allow that for 50 years.”

Appicello said for the city to allow a special event in a city-controlled park, the council has stated they would only a special event if they set a fee for the use of that area. The parks department was not interested in taking that parking lot and making it available for special use.

Councilor Riley Hoagland asked if there is a proposed building set up for the visitor’s center. Appicello said there is a concept plan that Explore Lincoln City has created.

“That’s all dependent on keeping the building out of the floodplain and other issues,” Appicello said. “It actually has not progressed that far yet.”

Appicello said this is not a suitable place for events in the parking lot. The primary use for this area is for parking for people visiting the beach. If inside the visitor’s center, the city wanted to have community meetings or rentable space, they can discuss that, Appicello added.

The council agreed to continue the discussion at its next meeting Monday, April 25.

Why are you running for Lincoln County Commissioner, position 3?

I am running for Lincoln County Commissioner because I love this county. I have lived here since 1981…

This Is Our Home. I see this as an opportunity to implement positive change and move forward with a vision that benefits all of us. As an

efforts and am still critically needed in my role. There are many things I have put in motion over the last three years that I would like to complete, such as helping to rebuild after the Echo Mountain Complex Fire, hiring a housing consultant for the county, building a new Lincoln County Animal Shelter, working on creating better water sources for rural residents, and continuing to expand services and relationships beyond the central part of the county.

There is also a tremendous amount of opportunity in terms of new federal funding opportunities, and I am excited to work both internally and externally to help our community go after as many as these resources as we can.

These are resources that can help with planning, combating climate change, housing, and serving our underserved communities. The opportunity to help community is inspiring and exciting and I would be honored to serve another four years to help our community through our remaining recovery efforts and into a state of increased thriving.

What experience/skills do you have that makes you the best candidate?

I am the most qualified candidate as I have the most applicable direct skills, a strong work ethic and have on the job experience in being a county commissioner during the past three years, which have arguably been the most challenging three years our community has ever seen. elected official, there is a high duty to represent and listen to all constituents within our county. I vow to always work with an attitude of Servanthood and Principles. This position requires ethical, impartial, open, fiscally responsible, and well-informed decisions built on common sense and truth. I look forward to serving the needs of all of our diverse communities within the county.

What experience/skills do you have that makes you the best candidate?

My 22 years of successfully running, owning, and operating three

Prior to becoming a Lincoln County Commissioner, I spent 15 years working for OSU Extension as a fisheries extension specialist. In this job I did assessments of community needs, wrote and managed grants, designed and built educational and integrated research programs, resolved conflicts between user groups, facilitated hundreds of meetings, and worked on coast wide policy issues.

When I campaigned in 2018, no one asked me what I would do if a worldwide pandemic broke out or what my experience in wildfire recovery was, but when standing in unprecedented times, you reach into your toolbox and pull out what you have. I have personally written grants that have brought in millions of dollars for wildfire recovery in Lincoln County, I created programs for survivors, such as septic and well water assistance programs.

I have also worked in building more connection from the county to all of Lincoln County by spending consistent time in North Lincoln County and building relationships with local leaders, non-profits, and other organizations. Lincoln County will continue to be in a process of recovery from both covid and wildfire over the next several years and I feel I am the most qualified in helping Lincoln County recover and thrive.

What is the county’s biggest challenge and how will you overcome it?

I am an adamant believer that there is no one single greatest challenge.

countywide Subway restaurants will bring many business and relationship building skills to the commissioner seat. After selling the Subways, I was hired by the largest food distributor in the country to problem solve and guide 42 restaurants in our county- primarily helping them achieve higher profit margin. As a current self-employed land developer, I have learned the value of team work. Defining the objective, gathering all necessary information, and working with others to achieve an optimal goal is how any team produces a positive result. Currently I am the captain of the Lincoln County Search and Rescue team. This

The challenges we have are thorny and woven together. For example, we have a housing problem, but we also have a workforce problem as workers cannot find affordable housing. It would be easy to deduct that housing is our greatest problem, but housing is also interwoven into our tourism sector. Second homes and vacation homes play a large role in the tourism economy. Additionally, the cost of homes is often driven up by our largest earned income sector which is people moving here and bringing their money with them. Our housing problem is also an economy problem, and a workforce problem. Our workforce problem is also a childcare problem. Again, I believe there is no singular biggest challenge, there are many challenges that are intertwined.

The solutions to these thorny problems need to be creative and out of the box. For example, the state conducted a feasibility study looking at co-location of workforce housing and childcare facilities. I dug through that study and provided a lot of comments and put the county in a position to possibly be a pilot site for state investment of co-location if the legislature passes the funding in a future session.

This kind of programming addresses that interconnection between issues, housing, workforce, the economy, and childcare. As a commissioner I am constantly looking for opportunities for our county that will help bring relief and solutions to these kinds of complicated issues. was achieved through years of dedication, determination, and leadership.

Teamwork brings positive results.

When elected, I pledge, with unwavering dedication, to bring these same attributes to the office of Commissioner.

What is the county’s biggest challenge and how will you overcome it?

The biggest challenge facing our county is lack of trust and transparency. Through my experience and leadership, I will return a culture of trust, honesty, work ethics, and integrity to each and every department and staff within the county. I will lead by example, as exclusivity has no place in Public Service.

City to consider banning fireworks, leave it to the voters HILARY DORSEY Editor

L

incoln City Council voted Monday, April 13, for staff to bring forward an ordinance that would ban the sale and use of fireworks under emergency declaration this July and bring a ballot referral for the November election for voters to decide on a ban of the use of fireworks beginning in 2023.

City Attorney Richard Appicello said the council had agreed a couple of weeks ago to pursue banning the sale of fireworks.

State law already prohibits fireworks that explode or go up into the air, Appicello added. It is a criminal offence to possess these types of fireworks.

“Our fireworks problems are probably more those illegal under the state law, the things that shoot up in the air, fireworks bought in Washington and brought here,” Appicello said.

The banning of all fireworks would include even the small items.

“If we believe with the information we have on drought conditions, what our fire departments are telling us, if we believe that our city is in danger of fire, then we need to be thinking about ‘are we going to have an emergency ban this year?’” Councilor Elaine Starmer said.

The issue of banning fireworks has been split in Lincoln City almost right down the middle, Starmer added.

“This is not an easy decision,” Starmer said.

Councilor Rick Mark said he would be in favor of banning the consumer use of fireworks but to ban the sale this year.

“I think as city council, we can take the lead on banning the sale right now,” Mark said.

“We always have that emergency operations ordinance,” Appicello said. “When the situation calls for it, we can declare an emergency and ban sales of all kinds of things and prohibit use of fireworks as well.”

Council President Judy Casper said retailers selling fireworks may be able to cancel items if fireworks get banned in the city. She proposed the city ban the sale and use of fireworks this July.

“I think it’s time and appropriate that we at least try,” Casper said.

Lincoln City Police Department said all law enforcement is having a problem with enforcing firework use.

Lincoln City Police Chief said he is leaning more toward educational campaigns and urged the council to put an all-out ban on a ballot to the voters.

The council voted 5-2 in favor of bringing an ordinance forward to the council that would ban the sale and use of fireworks under emergency declaration and to bring a ballot

referral for the November election for the voters to decide on banning the use of fireworks in 2023.

May Primary Election Coverage Lincoln County Commissioner Position 3 Occupation:

pressing ones and leaving the others for next time. I know what that hopeless, worried feeling is and just how real it is for so many. I know what it is to feel like you are failing the ones counting on you for their own survival.

I don’t have to imagine this life. I’ve lived it and I won’t soon forget the lessons I’ve learned. I also know what it is to rise up out of that situation through hard work and determination.

Why are you running for Lincoln County Commissioner, position 3?

Well, I started off like everyone else; as someone’s son. My mother was Joan Dennis. She was a proud American and daughter of the revolution. She was also volunteer of the year at the hospital back in 2008. Mom spent almost all of her free time volunteering and doing things for others. She used to go around and put flowers on all the graves, of veterans, in our local cemeteries. She put on spaghetti dinners and fundraisers to raise money for

local children in need. She was often helping out at the library. Mom was a member of several local clubs and charity groups such as the Rebecca’s and the Emblem club. In general mom was really glad to be alive and in a position to help others. She often had my sister, myself or a grandchild help her with these projects. She taught us to be selfless in our service to others by example.

Mom passed in 2009. My step father John Dennis took a job at Safeway after retiring and he worked there for 20+ years. He was well liked and many people knew him as the friendly, old guy bagging groceries, who always had a smile to share. He was also always helping mom with her volunteering. He passed last year.

Today, I am a loving and loyal husband and father. My wife Keli and I are best friends; raising two, wonderful, children, together. Marley is 13 and Mason is 10.

Since covid hit, we have been homeschooling. Which has been great, actually. My 5th grade math skills have never been sharper; just for example.

Really though, these are my favorite people. So, getting to spend more time with them has been a blessing.

When mom was sick, I had to take a leave of absence from my job at the time. I went out on FLMA which ran out days before she died. I lost my mother and my job in the same week. It was brutal. There was a time when I was trading in bottles and cans to buy diapers for our baby. I know the stress so many people here feel every day. The stress of having to make $10 spend like it’s $100. The stress of having to triage bills; paying the most

and other water projects must come to fruition.

My wife and I opened Pipe Dreams Dispensary, approximately, 8 years ago. Since then, successfully operating the business has been my professional focus. Prior to this, I spent many years working in the food and beverage industry. In fact, my wife and I met while working at the local Mcmenamins back in 2002. I’ve also taken jobs over the years to learn new skills. Along those lines, I worked in a wood shop for a while. I worked as a first mate on a sailing vessel. And I worked for a sailmaker/boat repair shop.

Education:

Randy Mallette, 48

My schooling is limited to some community college. I was a student at HVCC, and I also had the privilege of being a student at our local OCCC, back in the mid 1990’s. Back then, we didn’t really have a college. We had a room upstairs in the lighthouse plaza…where Curves later was. I also had to travel to Newport to take some classes because options for furthering ones education were so severely limited around here in those days. I’m sure some people will remember.

Family:

Beach and Trails Park Ranger

Education:

I attended OSU from 1995-1996 and studied Business Management Information Systems. I graduated from U of O in 1999, with a BA in Journalism, Public Relations with coursework focused on outdoor ed and geological sciences. I have a TESL certificate from teaching English overseas and I am studying aquatic pest control licensure for my ODA applicator license.

Family:

Ryan Parker, 45

I have two daughters and my wife teaches at OCCC. We met in Seoul, Republic of Korea. I’m hoping to respect the privacy of my kids throughout this campaign as we all remember middle school is a big life transition:-)

Why are you running for Lincoln

I want representation on the Board of Commissioners for working families, especially the ones like myself who perform manual labor for the public good, that feel we are being priced out of living here. There are a lot of opportunities to improve quality of life here and assure future success for county residents, but we need better water storage, since current reservoir impoundment can’t always meet demand during our summer season.

Infrastructure is boring but critically important. I was a water/sewer plant operator at my current job so that helps me understand the needs. The county should be knocking on the doors of our Congressional and state legislative delegations, reminding them that our needs are just as important as urban residents, and that the Big Creek Dam

I am running for Lincoln county commissioner, seat3 because I care about the community and want all of us here to prosper.

I am challenging the incumbent instead of running for the open seat 1 position because I believe the current leadership has failed and should be replaced. By every available metric, things have gotten worse. I believe we can do better for everybody. I believe the biggest problem facing our county is, and has been, poor leadership. We have issues to address. We have issues with affordable housing, a lack of opportunities and good paying jobs, short term rentals, policing and schooling…we have issues with taxation and permitting that were exemplified by the disastrous Echo Mountain fires.

And we have a critical highway in desperate need of repair. This is not a complete list of the issues we face as a community. But, no matter the issue, poor leadership only makes these things worse.

What experience/skills do you have that makes you the best candidate?

My life experiences are wide ranging and have prepared me to excel in the position of commissioner. My

What experience/skills do you have that makes you the best candidate?

I already serve the community in a role of managing public lands for recreation, stewardship and my volunteerism on the Newport City Council, but scale matters. Policy shifts at the county level affect and empower all residents, and that can be a conduit for large projects needed in Lincoln County. We need to be talking to the policymakers in Salem, and be vigilant to get our voice heard in the Legislature. Collaboration for a new Yaquina Bay Bridge, a potential biosolids incinerator and planning for a new regional landfill must be earnest and prioritized conversations. We must

campaign is as different as I am. I may be the only candidate who can say he’s actually turned down donations. I understand how hard life is around here right now and how much people are struggling. I don’t want your money, just your vote. I am happy. I like my life as it is right now. I am only running because I love the community and I want to help. No one can be expected to be an expert in all things. As commissioner I will seek the council of experts, in their fields, whenever possible. When searching for the best solutions, I will consider all options and do what I feel is best for people.

What is the county’s biggest challenge and how will you overcome it?

I will seek to improve county programs by working closely with program directors and participants to assess them and help make necessary changes. I will work to provide better training and funding for our law enforcement. We want police respecting and protecting the good people and we want the criminals arrested and properly prosecuted. I will sit with our DA and work to address issues and help her better effectuate her job duties. I will work to help make our schools an example for others to follow. If elected, I will work hard and do my very best for every resident of Lincoln county and I will always be honest.

Due to the limitations, there are many topics left unaddressed here. If anyone would like to ask me questions about myself or my positions on specific issues, I can be reached easily through a chat feature on the campaign website. My campaign website is: https://randymalletteforlincolncounty.com/ return to direct services that everyone notices. Pothole and road repairs and improvements, clearing rights of way of damaging invasive plants and creating memorable, scenic experiences for both visitors and residents alike.

What is the county’s biggest challenge and how will you overcome it?

The county faces many challenges but workforce availability, housing supply, homelessness, drug addiction and water supply are the biggest. I envision Lincoln County becoming a hub for high-quality timber products for niche markets to provide good profit for producers but shifting towards more innovative and sustainable forestry. We must find ways to make our county more wildfire resilient, prepared and be proactive to reduce the chances of catastrophic fires like the Echo Mountain Complex in 2020.

incoln County has paused pursuance of a lease agreement of the Lincoln County Animal Shelter with the City of Newport for 90 days. The county will take this time to look at potential alternative locations for the permanent shelter.

Jerry Herbage, assistance county counsel, stated during a Lincoln County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, April 13, that the county had submitted on Dec. 22, 2021, a land use application for the animal shelter, including storage buildings, at the Newport Municipal Airport. The parcel is owned by the City of Newport.

“There was an interest in the county entering a lease with the city to make this possible,” Herbage said.

When the county filed, this was for development on property zones public structures. This application is an outright use, but because it is in the airport’s restricted area, it becomes a conditional use.

“The development would be in two phases,” Herbage said. “Phase one would be construction of the shelter – the application is up to a 12,000 square foot building – kennel space for 24 dogs and 59 cats, would include a public reception area, sales and basic pet care needs, staffing area, three private offices, animal receiving area, grooming facilities, clinic space, and outdoor exercise areas.”

Phase two would be construction of storage facilities and the possibility of a spay and neuter clinic.

Herbage said the county gave testimony in support of the application in a January hearing of the planning commission. A couple people testi-

fied against the application.

Some concern of the proposed new location site was that the animals would be traumatized by the proximity of sights and sounds from airplanes, as well as living in a building that could be subject to shaking.

“A motion was made to approve the application subject to conditions,” Herbage said. “The motion passed.”

A final order was approved.

This was subject to 10 conditions.

“An appeal was filed,” Herbage said.

The Newport City Council convened in March and voted to have an on-the-record hearing.

The city again recommended approval of the project.

A hearing was held April 4. By a vote of 5-2, the council denied the appeal and approved the application. Final written order is scheduled before the council on April 18. The next step would be to discuss lease negotiations.

“I think the most important thing is having public support behind this project,” Sheriff Curtis Landers said. “It is my opinion that we need to – however you want to look at it – pause, hold, not continue in the formal process of the animal shelter at its intended location.”

Landers said there may be other opportunities that exist.

Shelter manager Sara

Wynveen said staff is concerned with the recent public interest in the welfare of the animals regarding the airport location. Wynveen added that the team takes incredible care of the animals.

“The temporary facility definitely added some challenges that the team has risen to,” Wynveen said. “We have not had to adjust the care of the animals, just the level of service we are able to offer our community.”

The shelter provides what is required by law and will not compromise the care of the animals, so there may be a waitlist.

“COVID has definitely opened our minds to the possibilities for providing service without people having to come to the shelter,” Wynveen said.

“We have learned that there are ways to get animals to people and people to animals without necessarily coming to one site.”

Chair Claire Hall said she was in favor of pausing lease negotiations with the city while the county explores other sites, although there are not many properties on the market that fit the needs of the shelter.

The commissioners approved a motion to pause pursuing a lease agreement with the City of Newport for 90 days.

Experience “true friend” Service

Jeri passed away on Jan. 2, 2022, with loving members of her family by her side. She had faced the challenges of cancer for four years. She was born in Milwaukie, Oregon to Arthur and Phyllis Gagnier.

She had an active 1950’s kind of childhood. Jeri and her brothers shared many adventures around their Milwaukie home and on trips to the coast. She faced new adventures with curiosity and boundless energy. Early in her life she developed an incredible work ethic from working on local farms, picking berries and beans.

Jeri married Al Knudson June 5, 1971. They celebrated their 50th anniversary last June in Jeri’s beloved New Orleans.

She relished everything about the Crescent City. The music, food, architecture

the Bay Area Merchants Association in Lincoln City and Chair of the Civil Service Commission of the North Lincoln Fire and Rescue District. She was President-elect nominee of the Rotary eClub of the State of Jefferson. Jeri had the unique talent of bringing divergent interests and positions together and reaching a consensus.

Jeri’s life embraced the Rotary Motto “Service above Self.” She donated her photography skill and qualities of empathy with remembrance photography for families experiencing the devastating loss of an infant.

Jeri is preceded in death by her father, Arthur Gagnier, and her son Matthew Knudson. Jeri is survived by her husband Al Knudson, Lincoln City, her mother Phyllis Gagnier, her daughters Angie Gagnet (Chris) and Jen Townsend (Ed), her granddaughters Jesse Wilcoxon (Kenny) and Keara Gagnet. She is also survived by her brothers John Gagnier (Jolynn), Bill Gagnier (Sally), and Phil Gagnier (Magdalena).

Jeri also leaves numerous nephews, nieces and great nephews and nieces.

Even in our grief, her family and friends share overwhelming gratitude for having the privilege of sharing time with Jeri. We honor her strength, courage and grace.

Terry “Grammy” Brown Dec. 24, 1958 – April 4, 2022

Jason and Joey, four sisters Lorrie, Nancy, Lisa and Carrie; her brother Buck and her adored grandchildren Kayla and Caden.

Terry was a sweet and loving mother, sister, Grammy and friend to all who knew her. She helped anyone she could and regularly opened her heart and her home to many. She also enjoyed children and taught them many things like how to read, how to develop proper manners and how to treat others with respect. Terry was a skilled, creative artist who always had “projects” going on involving a multitude of mediums, often inspiring others to be creative as well.

She raised her kids, and plenty of others too. Terry’s home was the neighborhood “hang-out”.

Teresa (Terry) “Grammy” Brown, age 63, passed away on April 4, 2022.

She was born in Long Beach, Calif. Dec. 24, 1958, to Douglas Wyman and Virginia Jones Chiarelli, and is survived by her sons

Holidays were a joy for her, and they always happened for her family, even when times were tough. The smile that she wore made everyonefamily, friend or even strangers feel welcomed and wanted. Terry had a way of pulling all walks of life together, and that will be sorely missed.

By profession, Terry worked as the variety manager at Safeway in Lincoln City for many years.

However, she will be more remembered for the time, dedication and love that she shared with her family and her friends. Please hug someone you love today, to honor her memory.

“Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Primary choices As a former resident of Congressional District 5, I feel an obligation to both vote and share what the candidates running for office stand for...and against.

Kurt Schrader voted against increasing the minimum wage, Medicaid expansion, allowing Medicare to negotiate for lower Rx prices. Schrader voted against issuing stimulus checks during COVID. Kurt Schrader takes campaign contributions from Big Pharma ($600K) and the petroleum industry

($300K) and consistently votes in favor of issues favoring those industries. For more information on his environmental voting record access the League of Conservation Voters website.

Schrader’s opponent in the May primary is Jamie McLeod-Skinner.

She has never taken corporate PAC money. Her background is in environmental law. She advocates for climate justice, racial justice, universal healthcare and working

families. Jamie was instrumental in securing funds for fire recovery in Talent, OR. She has worked in refugee resettlement and humanitarian aid in former war zones.

Jamie comes from a working class background and understands the challenges in making ends meet.

We are fortunate to have choices in our elections process. I encourage you to choose wisely and be sure to exercise your right to vote...yes, even in primaries.

-J. Erlanger, Lincoln City

Vote for Stan Pulliam for governor I was born on the Oregon coast and have been a resident of Oregon my entire life. As a child, I attended Delake Elementary and Oceanlake Grade School. In 1966, my family moved to the valley. In 1997, I joyfully returned to Lincoln City and have lived and worked here for the past twenty-five years. This is the first time that I have spoken publicly regarding politics, but

I feel duty bound to do so at this point in time.

Please vote for Stan Pulliam for Governor of Oregon. We need to bring back support for strong community values, respect for our police and our Constitutional rights. I believe that Stan will lead us in the right direction, He has proven to be an exemplary Mayor for Sandy, Oregon and shown

himself to care about the citizens of Sandy and all Oregonians. Stan listens and responds to his constituents. He cares about our safety and a higher quality of education for our children.

He cares about our freedom of choice and being accountable for our actions.

As a man of action he stands strong for his convictions.

When elected Governor, he plans

to reach out to Oregonians to seek our valuable input. A vote for Stan is a vote for a down to earth, approachable person who I believe will accomplish positive changes for Oregon. Stan will make us proud again to be an Oregonian.

Please join me in voting for Stan Pulliam for Governor. Thank you.

GUEST COLUMN

Want to farm? Get a cash register

BY DAVE MARSTON

In 1991, when Lee Bradley started farming near Paonia in the North Fork Valley of Colorado, he was hired to manage a fruit farm owned by the coal company, Cyprus Coal Corp. Mine bosses gave him a ridiculously hard goal: Make money.

Bradley decided to focus on marketing. “We shined the apples and sold them wherever we could,” he says. With the pressure on him and his wife Kathy, they also opened a farm stand inside their leased barn close to a highway.

“At first, we were only going to sell what we produced. But people had money, so we scrambled, grabbing local products from everywhere to have more for people to buy.”

A few years later, in 1996, Homestead Meats, a local, natural beef (no additives) cooperative, began, with only five families involved. Plant Manager Gary Peebles recalls that everyone agreed to “keep it small and try the idea.” Now six families strong, he says, “No one thought we’d have 40 employees or a packing plant.”

Not quite all grass-fed, the beef is finished with grain, “ensuring consistency and marbling,” says Peebles.

Consumers got on board, as many people have become

increasingly concerned about how the beef they buy is produced.

Now, Peebles reports, Homestead Meats just bought Callaway Packing, which doubles their production to 80 local animals processed weekly and sold throughout Western Colorado. Best of all, they are no longer subject to the commodity market, where 85% of beef is processed by four corporations.

Stories like this apparently make Delta County a model, attracting young farmers and ranchers. Thirty percent of Delta County’s farmers were considered “new and beginning” farmers in the 2017 USDA farm survey, and most are pursuing natural but not strict “USDA organic” practices.

When the documentary, The Real Dirt on Farmer John, played at the Telluride Film Festival in 2005, few Coloradans had heard of Community Sponsored Agriculture, which asks dedicated consumers to pay farmers up front for weekly boxes of food.

Fast forward 17 years, and hundreds of CSAs, as they’re called serve cities and rural areas in Colorado, reports Farmshares.info, including several CSAs in the North Fork Valley.

The widespread availability of natural produce and meat wasn’t always a given.

For decades, most products grown in the North Fork Valley were shipped to cities. Today, it’s resort towns like Aspen and Crested Butte that see North Fork Valley food and wine at their farmer’s markets or in their CSAs. Bradley recalls a meeting 20 years ago of the newly formed Valley Organic Growers Association (VOGA), where he doled out some advice that gave the up-and-coming juice maven, Jeff Schwarz, a hot idea.

“Clean up your farm, get a cash register and you can sell stuff to the public right there,” Bradley recalls telling Schwarz, whose Big B’s Juices now processes 7.5 million pounds of apples annually for juice and cider, much of which he sells directly to the public at his outdoor restaurant. Schwartz scoops up every available apple locally and imports the rest from Washington.

Today, what Schwarz and Bradley have in common is that their thriving businesses sell a wide variety of food, wine, and diverse crafts. Exploring either place can turn into a daylong event.

“I think it’s all about knowing your farmer,” says Bradley. “People wander around the farm. They see how you operate and pick stuff themselves, which gains trust.” He is not certified organic, saying that the cost is too much and ties his

DAVE MARSTON

hands when pests invade.

And the best part? Young people who want to farm see local opportunity. “A business called The Painted Vineyard is getting started close to me,” says Bradley. It will have a tasting room, a B&B and a camping area, and Bradley figures its customers will also be his.

Meanwhile, near retirement at 70 but still farming, thanks to his son, Ryan, Bradley continues to help newcomers to the valley. One example

is Storm Cellars Winery, a Sommelier-trained couple from Denver, run by Jayme Henderson and Steve Seese. They came to the valley knowing wine but not much about planting vines, repairing equipment, or making wine from scratch.

“We kept going back to Bradley,” says Henderson, “and he kept helping us out.”

Pierce confident heading into final weeks of primary DAVID RUPKALVIS The News Guard

Six years after he won the Republican primary and lost a close race to Gov. Kate Brown, Dr. Bud Pierce feels like the timing is right to take the next big step.

During a campaign stop in Coos Bay last week, Pierce said despite the crowded field in the Republican primary he is confident heading into the final weeks of campaigning.

“It comes down to continuing to work the process,” he said. “We have pretty darn good

support in the medical community. It really comes down to telling people who you are, what you stand for and what you believe, and leave it to them. I want people to know the authentic Bud.” Pierce said his past experience gives him an edge in the crowded field.

“That’s an advantage,” he said. “When we look at polling, I have name recognition over 0% and everyone else is under 10%.”

While many of the issues facing Oregon are similar to 2016, Pierce said there is a difference in the political climate.

An oncologist in Salem, Pierce said six years ago none of his patients ever discussed his campaign. This year, he said more than half want to talk politics.

“It’s very different compared to 2016,” he said. “There was some interest in the Republican primary. As soon as the election happened, the interest went away. The Republicans didn’t really think they could win.”

Pierce said voters around the state have similar concerns - public safety, homelessness, cancel culture, election integrity and a natural-resources based economy.

Pierce said more and more people are interested in having Oregon produce its own rather than rely on others.

“I think people are realizing with the pandemic and supply chain crisis, we need to do it here,” Pierce said. “Food production, mineral production have got to be done somewhere so it might as well be done here.”

As far as public safety, Pierce said the current state leaders have it all wrong. But it can be fixed.

“It’s going to take effective policing, and it’s going to take people who break the law being

arrested and being punished in a real way,” Pierce said.

With so much riding on the election, Pierce said he stands out because he is not interested in accolades or attention.

“I’m someone who wants to get things done,” Pierce said. “I want to achieve public safety.

Most of the recognition will go to county commissioners and city councils, and I’m OK with that. The governor is uniquely aligned to get the federal, state, county and local officials together to get it done.”

Pierce said he has a plan to combat homelessness that could actually work.

“There has to be a shelter bed for every person in the state,” he said. “The shelter is a place where people can work on mental health, alcohol and drug addiction and start to work.”

He said if people refuse the help or don’t use it, other stronger steps could be taken.

“I don’t really want to incarcerate people, but you have to have a strong stick,” he said.

Pierce said the state also needs to make changes in its public education system.

“That’s going to require a lot more effort on behalf of parents, teachers and students,” he said. “I actually started my

education at age 5 and ended at 36. You have to have a sequential curriculum so it builds on the previous year. You have to have testing, not to teach to the test, but to be able to gauge how you’re doing.”

Pierce said with the problems facing the state, he chose to get involved to find an answer.

“The only reason I’m involved in politics is because you can’t be governor without being involved in politics,” he said. “You put in people who have vast experience, have vast skills and want to solve problems, make people’s lives better. We have plenty of laws now that it’s not OK to hurt people. We have lots of laws to help the homeless.”

As the final weeks of the primary come up, Pierce said he will continue to visit communities in the state and will begin an advertising campaign. Then he will trust the voters to make the right choice.

“My sole value in running and if elected is to make livers better for the people of Oregon,” Pierce said. “My Christian faith tells me to lead as a servant and do everything that’s legal, ethical and moral to make people’s lives better.

That’s what it’s really about.”

LC Youth Cheerleading tryouts begin April 25 Cheerleading is a team-based sport that involves stunting, pyramids, tumbling, jumps and dance. It was initially started in the USA, and now it’s one of the fastest growing sports. Why? Because it’s fun! To perform a cheerleading routine, you need to be able to throw someone in the air then immediately do your gymnastics tumble pass.

You need to have a variety of skills to compete a routine – and this variety means the sport is always exciting.

Competitive cheerleading is a very athletic sport, that does not involve pom-poms (like sideline cheer). It involves competing a high-energy, twoand-a-half-minute routine at competitions across the state and, this year for LC Youth Cheerleading, the country.

Teams compete against other cheer teams and a panel of judges score the routines to decide the rankings.

“Every athlete gains so much from doing cheerleading,” cheer coach Tonia Anderson said. “Not only athletic skills, like learning to jump, stunt and flip, but also lifelong friends!”

Being part of a team means you work together for the same goal, gaining trust in your teammates and building your own confidence both on and off the cheer mat, Anderson added. Cheerleading also fosters teamworking skills, good sportsmanship and commitment in athletes.

LC Youth Cheerleading is quickly approaching their tryout season and they hope that your child will consider being a part of that team. Tryouts are open to those students going into grades 3 – 12 for the 2022-2023 school year and attending school in the north area of the county (Oceanlake Elementary, Taft Elementary, Taft High any Charter School or home school student). Try outs are April 25, 26 and 28 from 5:307 p.m. and April 29 from 5:30-8 p.m.

Tryouts are located at Oceanlake Christian Church in Lincoln City. A JotForm must be filled out before tryouts https://form.jotform. com/201405168203039 . If you have any questions, you can text Coach Anderson at 541-921-9962.

School district golf tournament takes place at Salishan Golf Course Taft Championship Golf hosted a friendly, 9-hole golf match attended by boys and girls programs from around Lincoln County schools.

There were four county schools represented Wednesday, April 13, including boys and girls from Waldport High School, boys from Toledo High School, boys and girls from Taft, and boys from Newport High School.

In all, 25 local area student/athletes competed on a marvelous afternoon in Gleneden Beach at Salishan Golf Course. The sun warmed the golfers as they navigated the back-nine at Salishan with vistas of the Siletz Bay and the waves of the Pacific Ocean as a backdrop.

Host school Taft had golfers in eight of the nine groups, sharing their local knowledge of their home course at Salishan. The director of golf, Tom Graves, provided the young players with a top notch experience. By far, the most organized and formally presented tournament of the young golf season. For many of the JV competitors, it was their first competition of the season.

All the school coaches, and the staff of professional at Salishan, pitched in to teach the players how to compete in formal tournament etiquette.

Rules and procedure were the goals of the competition.

“I truly believe this event provided experience that will help each participant throughout their season,” said Taft High School boys golf coach Andy Morgan.

Madison Olson and Teagan Prince represented the Waldport Ladies Golf Team. They enjoyed a very nice—but challenging—day around the backnine at Salishan. Olson carded a 63, while Prince turned in a 70. This was the first tournament of the season for these ladies and they have now set the bar for days to follow.

The Waldport Irish Boys were represented by Joshua Angelo, Valour Jones, and top Irish scorer—Noah Fruechte— who carded a 59. Like the lady Irish—these young golfers represented their school well and have some opportunities to show growth from the experience. They have bright futures.

Newport High School fielded a team of four young men. Representing the Cubs were Hunter Stocker (58), Evan McAfee carding a 59, Luke Green (58), and Ayden Pockrus with a team best—49. This team represented the school and the county well, enjoying some camaraderie and sunshine during an afternoon of nine holes with very even competition.

Traveling from Toledo High School, the boys program was represented by Ethan Childs (51), Daniel Roeser (66), Cody Reids (67), Coren Loper turning in a very respectable 48, and Jacob Long carding a Boomer team best of 44.

Toledo Boomers have competed with the home team Taft Tigers in multiple matches this year. These boys teams (Taft and Toledo), along with Waldport, belong to the same 3A Special District 2—while Newport boys competes at the 4A level not often on the course with other Lincoln County schools.

On the girls side—all Lincoln County schools compete in the same 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A SD2 Special District 2. So, the Waldport ladies will likely play again with the Tiger ladies team. The Tiger ladies participating in the match at Salishan Golf Course were Aleah Bailey (59), Emma Henton (70), and team, and tournament best Lily Hatton carding a 51.

“It was great holding a tournament in which the boys and girls shared the course—this was the first time we have done this that I know of,” Morgan said.

The host—

Taft Boys Championship Golf team was thrilled to have other area schools join them. First year player Joshua Haeckel carded a 66.

Also, rookie junior player Jet Mueller competed for the first time—turning in a score of 64.

Second year Tiger sophomore Zaden Parsons recorded a 64.

Senior Luke Johnson carded 59—continuing to improve in his inaugural season. Sophomore player Christian Unruh tied his older brother—senior, Ethan Fairfield with a score of 51. Senior Eston Whisler carded a “tough-it-out” 53, while senior anchor, Zac Will turned in a tournament best 42.

“It was a really terrific day for golf at Salishan where the weather can really play a factor in scores,” Morgan said.

“The environment was extremely kind—as was the host Salishan. This was a really great day for nearly two dozen county youth. We should be extremely proud of the young men and women who represent our local county schools.”

Big band dance with the Lincoln Pops The Lincoln Pops is a quintessential big band playing swing, standards and big band fare. With 19 musicians and four vocalists, the Pops’ big sound includes trumpets, trombones, saxophones, piano, drums, guitar and vibraphone, along with a variety of vocalists.
