La Roca reopens in Lincoln City

HILARY DORSEY Editor

L

a Roca is back in business. After being closed for a couple of months, the restaurant opens Wednesday, May 25.

La Roca is a Mexican restaurant with a wide menu of authentic Mexican food perfect for the family. There is a kid’s menu, as well as seafood options. The restaurant is a good stop for lunch, dinner and dessert.

Gabriel Aguilera is the new owner. He bought the restaurant one month ago. The previous owner had the restaurant for 20 years and sold it to move to Mexico, where his family lives.

Aguilera said the restaurant had needed extensive repairs. The plumb-

ing had failed in the building. It was closed for two months for repairs. Due to the plumbing leak, a lot of things had to be fixed and repaired. Work done on the outside includes new signs and replacing the roof.

La Roca will keep its namesake, along with its recipes and employees.

Takeout orders will still be available.

Aguilera said his family lives here and his children are getting old enough to work. The restaurant gives them employment.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday and Wednesday – Sunday.

“We are closed Tuesdays,” Aguilera said.

The restaurant is located at 3243 Hwy 101 in Lincoln City.

Oregon wildfire season now predicted to be challenging HILARY DORSEY Editor

O

regon officials foresee another challenging wildfire season this year. Due to drought conditions, a large portion of the state could be affected by wildfires.

During a briefing Monday, May 16, Gov. Kate Brown said we are fighting fires of a new age and it is a different wildfire environment. Fires of the past have taught us that being prepared can be the difference between life and death. The time to prepare is now.

“Oregon has one of the best wildfire response systems in the country,” Brown said. “We continue to lead the nation in this space, improving even further as we roll out requirements from Senate Bill 762, which passed in the 2021 Legislative session.”

Brown said the state is asking all Oregonians to do their part to prevent and prepare for wildfires. State Forester Cal Mukumoto said the majority of the wildfires that are responded to are caused by people.

Chief Mike Shaw, of the Oregon Department of Forestry, said the cool, wet April and beginning of May has been a respite from what was seen in March. Oregon is in a significant drought pattern with exceptional drought covering the bulk of the east slope of the Cascades and extreme drought expanding across vast portions of eastern Oregon and into southwest Oregon. How long the weather stays in cooler, wet conditions will indicate when wildfire season will begin.

“In 2021, which was a very challenging season, the coverage of exceptional drought was significantly

O

less than what you see for this year,” Shaw said. “This will likely translate to a very challenging fire season as the fires that begin in these areas will be very difficult to suppress over very significant portions of Oregon as we move into the fire season.”

Travis Medema, chief deputy state fire marshal, said all conditions point to an active wildfire season. In June, additional activity will begin to pick up in Oregon with anticipated wildfires in July and August. The exceptional drought in parts of Oregon indicates a significant wildfire season. In July and August, competition for helicopters and

crew could be problematic across the western United States.

Tom Roick, air quality monitoring manager at Oregon Department of Environmental Quality, said DEQ maintains a network of air quality monitoring stations across the state. They plan to propose more locations next month.

Decisions whether to issue an air quality advisory are made by DEQ. Visit wildfire.oregon.gov for more information and to sign up for emergency alerts.

Newport adopts ordinance that fulfills state legislation HILARY DORSEY Editor

Newport City Council adopted an ordinance Monday, May 16, that implements 2021-2022 State of Oregon land use and related legislation.

City Manager Spencer Nebel said that during the 2021 regular session and 2022 short session, there were a number of changes that impacted the provisions in local ordinances across the state. The planning commission met in work sessions on Feb. 28 and March 14 to review the state legislation and identified corresponding changes to the Newport Municipal Code. On April 25, the planning commission voted to recommend the city council adopt the proposed ordinance.

“The general themes that came out of the 2021 Legislative session [include] affordable housing, as well as the locations for [where] child care facilities can be located,” Community Development & Planning Director Derrick Tokos said.

The city has adopted into the municipal code to allow affordable housing in a broader range of areas. This is the same for child care. Because of the fires Oregon has had, there was also an emphasis on flexibility for those trying to rebuild their homes. There is a change in the ordinance that allows someone to live in an RV while building a home.

Tokos said there was a bill that prohibited local governments from

occupancy limits based on familial or nonfamilial relationships. The definition of family is now gone from the city’s zoning ordinance.

“In the 2022 session, there was an effort to clean up the statutes that apply to manufactured housing that’s being built outside of manufactured dwelling parks and extending that to prefabricated structures,” Tokos said.

“They pulled out a number of provisions that a lot of local governments had adopted.”

Councilor Dietmar Goebel voiced concern over parking in residential areas in reference to the change in occupancy limits.

Nebel said the city does control where people can park. If a household has a large number of people, those people still have to find a legal place to park.

“I think the parking enforcement issue further highlights the need to be able to, as a small city, to use transient room tax and lodging taxes for infrastructure improvements like parking,” Councilor Ryan Parker said.

The list of bills and their general impact on the ordinance include: HB 2008, which requires local governments to allow nonprofit religious organizations to construct affordable housing on commercial property where it is adjacent to a residentially zoned parcel or lot; SB 8 changes the definition of affordable housing to be 80 percent of median family income

and expands the locations where affordable housing must be allowed; HB 4051 clarified that eligibility is based on ownership of the property, not the housing unit; HB 2583 prohibits local governments from imposing occupancy limits based on familial or non-familial relationships; HB 3261 requires local governments to allow hotels and motels to be converted for affordable housing or emergency

shelter use; HB 3109 requires local governments to allow child care centers in all commercial and industrial zones, except heavy industrial zones; HB 2607 provides that construction excise taxes cannot be applied to residential housing being constructed to replace housing destroyed or damaged by natural disaster; HB 2809 allows a recreational vehicle on a lot where a dwelling has been destroyed

or damaged by natural disaster; SB 405 prohibits barring of the reestablishment of a non-conforming use due to discontinuance if a state or local emergency order limits or prohibits reestablishment of the use; HB 4064 allows siting of prefabricated structures in mobile home or manufactured dwelling parks.

Local teen runs in Miss Oregon’s Outstanding Teen competition HILARY DORSEY Editor

Local teen Tessa Bonelli Sanquist is running for Miss Oregon’s Outstanding Teen. The competition is a program for girls 13-18 years old and is intended to encourage and reward scholastic achievement, communication skills, talent and community service.

The Miss Oregon Outstanding Teen is held during the Miss Oregon pageant week in Seaside. The pageant selects the representative for the state of Oregon in the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen pageant.

Tessa is 14 years old and is homeschooled by her mother, Karen Bonelli Sanquist. She is running under the title of Lane County, as Lincoln City does not have a title holder or a board to run it. Because of this, Tessa was eligible to run for an open title.

According to Miss Oregon’s website, if you live in an area that does not have a local competition, you can compete in a neighboring county that does.

“There were five open spots,” Karen said. “One of the open spots was the Lane County Outstanding Teen. That was the title Tessa was given.”

In order to get the spot, Tessa had to send in a video of a monologue as part of her talent, as well as introductions. She was also interviewed by a panel of five judges who asked about her platform, dyslexia, as well as her interests.

Tessa, who has dyslexia, has a

platform of ‘dyslexia does not mean disability.’ She hopes to show young girls that they do not need to be shy about having dyslexia.

Miss Oregon’s Outstanding Teen competition will be June 16-18 at the Seaside Convention Center in Seaside.

“It’s a weeklong event,” Tessa said of the competition. “The misses get there on Monday and the teens get there on Tuesday.”

The first couple days include rehearsals and a parade. On Friday, the teens are interviewed. On Saturday, they do an evening gown and are crowned on Sunday.

“There’s about 15-20 teens and there’s about 20 misses,” Tessa said.

Tessa’s interest in pageants began while on a plane to New York while watching a show about a pageant. The next week, Karen had signed Tessa up for the competition.

Karen said there will be a people’s choice option on the Miss Oregon website for people to vote for their choice. The people’s choice will automatically go into the top six.

The voting should be up this week.

Vote on the website at http://www. missoregon.org/ “She’s looking for sponsorship,” Karen said. “She’s looking for ads.

With each ad she gets, she gets a scholarship.”

Those interested in sponsoring Tessa can contact Karen at 503-9136876.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Turnout shows council out of step The astonishing turnout of outraged Depoe Bay citizens at the Tuesday, May 17, city council meeting illustrated just how out of step our mayor and much of the city council are with the town’s residents.

They said “enough” to the plethora of progressive initiatives and pet projects that emanate from every meeting, often in the form of vacuous virtue-signaling. They decried the brazen conflicts of interest and ethical lapses that have

come to characterize this administration, and rightly blamed the current government for the recent resignation of our prized city recorder.

I want to thank those brave citizens for stepping forward and speaking

frankly to their elected representatives.

It sounded to me like they have regime change on their minds, and they don’t care who knows it.

-Rick Beasley, Depoe Bay

Local rainfall I have lived in Rose Lodge for 17 years and always thought, “We get a lot of rain”! I even thought it must be close to Seattle totals.

My daughter bought me a rain gauge last summer. I have faithfully kept daily records since Octo-

ber 8, 2021.

Seattle rainfall is about 38 inches annually, about 3 feet.

From October 8, 2021 to May 4, 2022, we had 164 inches, or close to 14 feet of rain in Rose Lodge. Dallas Oregon set a yearly record in 1996 with 204 inches. We

still have time to catch a record.

Weather people say our terrain, being surrounded by high hills on all sides and air currents affect rainfall.

-Larry Borgen, Rose Lodge

Lincoln City sewer and water rates The City is asking for a 6% increase in both the sewer and water rates. This will be the 17th (yes, 17th) continuous year they have received an increase in rates. There were 4 years that the city received 10% increase in sewer and water rates. Remember that these rates compound each year.

City water users need to know that you pay $59.29 every month for basic water and sewer service even if you don’t use any water, this is $711 per year. Since 2015201 the basic water and sewer rates have increased by 35.8%. The total revenue for water and sewer this year is anticipated to be $28,062,108.

It is time for the citizens in this community to stand up to the city council who approve these rate increases and say ‘enough’. The city council should hire an independent rate analyst to review rates and expenditures to see if they are justified.

In my opinion, the city council has again failed the citizens and taxpayers of this community.

-Jerry Warner, Lincoln City

Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs director shares Memorial Day message

KELLY FITZPATRICK, Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs director

Memorial Day is a day when we stand united as one nation to pause and to remember. We pause to honor those service members who died while in service to this nation — in service to us all — to preserve and defend our individual freedoms.

Since the Civil War, almost 6,000 Oregonians have made the ultimate sacrifice in service to this nation. On Memorial Day, we honor them and the more than 1.2 million service members who have given their lives nationwide.

This year, our agency will, for the first time in three years, have the chance to once again gather for an in-person Memorial Day ceremony at the Oregon World War II Memorial in Salem. This memorial honors the more than 3,700 Oregonians who gave their lives in World War II. We — as veterans and Americans — who came after them, owe so much for their sacrifice and the peace and stability that they helped secure for our nation and the world.

Each and every one of their names is forever engraved on the granite walls that line this

remarkable memorial. If you have the chance, I encourage you to visit this site and spend some time reflecting on their sacrifice.

And as you walk any veteran memorial and remember those to whom it is dedicated, I urge you to also pause and remember those service members who came before and those who came after. This year’s ceremony is dedicated not to a particular generation of service members or conflict, but to all Oregonians — throughout time — who wore the uniform and, especially, those nearly 6,000 individuals and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms and our way of life.

Every service member had a story, and many faced additional challenges beyond the common trials and tribulations of war. Some were poor and uneducated. Some were privileged, with college or advanced degrees. Some were working men and women, with spouses and families. Some were 15- and 16-year-olds who lied about their dates of birth just to enlist.

Some were Black or mixed race, Hispanic or Latinx, Asian American or Pacific Islander, and they volunteered to serve a

country that did not afford them rights or opportunities equal to those of their fellow countrymen and service members at the time of their service. Before the Korean War, our military served in segregated units, and many endured prejudice and bigotry from their own country even as they risked their lives and freedom to protect it.

Some of the courageous Oregonians who served and gave their lives in service to our country and whose memories we honor today were women who would not even be recognized as veterans of the United States Armed Forces until the 1970s. Others were quietly transgender, gay, lesbian or queer, who grappled with the pain of giving their all to a country that did not want every part of them, that did not allow them to serve openly as their true, authentic selves.

We as a nation and, especially, as veterans who followed in their footsteps, owe an additional debt of gratitude to the brave soldiers, sailors, Marines, Air Force and Coast Guard members who served under these policies and conditions.

Their courage, selflessness, dignity and exceptional service did much to sway public opinion and pave the way for a brighter

and more inclusive future.

On this Memorial Day, let us honor the unique loss and pain of each and every one of the 6,000 Oregonians and their families whose sacrifices we remember today.

Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation for the brave Oregonians who willingly made these sacrifices.

The enormity of their courage humbles and inspires us. This day reminds us to be better as individuals, as a community and as a nation. As long as we, as one united nation, remember their sacrifices, their loss will not have been in vain.

“Rizo: In The Flesh” at PAC Amelia Zirin-Brown will celebrate a homecoming in “Rizo: In The Flesh” May 27 and 28 at the Newport Performing Arts Center (PAC).

Presented by Pacific Dance Ensemble, the chanteuse and raconteur will perform many of her own songs belted out in her signature caburlesque style with a full band from Portland.

“I’m choosing songs that are my favorites to sing,” she said of her latest performance. “I’m celebrating a welcome home.”

Home meaning not only Newport, where she was raised, but also, she says, referring to the pandemic, “a welcome back to a place where we can be less afraid.”

“Rizo” returns to Newport after performing at Joe’s Pub at the Public Theater in NYC, another home to her for more than a decade.

“I love that both of these places live inside me as much as I’ve lived in them,” she said.

“I cannot wait to bring a sparkling, joyous party of a show to all the folks that attend.”

Billed as the high priestess of cabaret, Zirin-Brown is an

international cult favorite.

“I don’t have a temple or a church but I have the stage, the nightclub, a concert – a way of connecting everyone in the audience’s light source,” she said. “We all have been through a collective trauma with Covid. I don’t think anything replaces the experience of coming together in a room.

It’s a basic human need to connect in person.”

She will also reflects on what home means as a haven, as well as a prison.

During the pandemic, she said she found she needed to get out of her home more often but thought she had lost some of those skills.

“Screens do not cut it for me. To feel actually enlivened, I have to change my clothes and get out and into a group.”

“Part of our evolutionary survival is to gather in groups,” she added. “And yet, for good reasons, gathering in a group was made all but illegal, while isolating at home was virtuous. We’re still a little rusty in our social ways to get back together.”

During the pandemic, she left her Brooklyn apartment, returned to Oregon and bought a house in Portland. She also attended

film festivals in Europe with the dark comedy “Potato Dreams of America,” where she has a cameo role as the Virgin Mary.

“Having my things in storage for two years made me feel like a Gypsy, and there’s freedom in that and in seeing the world as my home. It’s almost as if that gave my life a foundation of importance, rather than a settling in.”

Saying it’s important for her to be in Oregon now, her show seeks to portray the idea of what it is to return home.

Making a change to a new home is not without challenges.

For years, Zirin-Brown regarded New York City as home, and New York Magazine called her the “quintessential New Yorker.” She used that image as a way to promote her performances internationally and was successful in creating her own show and securing a residency at Joe’s Pub over a decade ago.

But she found that despite the vibrancy of the people and what they create, New York was hard on the nervous system, and she missed trees and easy access to nature.

Dressing up in glitzy pantsuits and dresses and surrounding herself, literally, in glitter – almost a ritual of show

Tyler Turner is no stranger to overcoming adversity. After experiencing a motorcycle accident in 2008 that left him a paraplegic, the captain of Depoe Bay’s Tacklebuster Sport Fishing fought through a long period of rehabilitation, eventually passing a rigorous U.S. Coast Guard test to be certified as a captain.

Because of his determination, manifested in his success in private industry and his work with the Oregon Coast Community College SBDC and throughout its Small Business Management Program, Turner was recently presented with the “Nano Business of the Year” award for the State of Oregon

from U.S. Small Business Administration.

Turner was nominated for the award by his SBDC advisor, Misty Lambrecht. The award was first announced by the SBA in early March of 2020. It was not until May 2022 – after pandemic delays – that the SBDC received the award, a glass trophy celebrating Turner’s work as one of the shining examples of entrepreneurship and drive in Depoe Bay and greater Lincoln County.

“Working with Tyler and his family since 2015, I have watched Tyler grow – developing the discipline to do his homework, business research, and conduct analyses to see the bigger picture and future oppor-

tunities,” said SBM Coordinator Misty Lambrecht. “Tyler’s personal drive to success has helped him to overcome formidable obstacles and embrace opportunities.”

In addition to managing operations on the family boat the Tacklebuster, Turner is a father of two and has launched multiple other businesses of his own, including Depoe Bay Candy, and has added the Surfrider Charter Boat to his fleet. Presently, Turner is finalizing the purchase of Dockside Charters, a full-service charter company offering fishing, whale watching and scenic tours.

In 2016, Tacklebuster was also named SBM Business of

business – “that’s what I can offer,” she said of her performance, a communal mending in chic metropolitan style.

A graduate of Newport High School, she is the daughter of longtime Newport residents and actors Ernie Brown and Deborah Zirin. She studied

for years with Nancy Mittleman at Newport School of Artistic Movement and performed with Pacific Dance Ensemble. She will perform at the Oregon Country Fair in Veneta in July.

“We’re really excited to be performing at the Performing Arts Center again after more

than two years, and hope the community will join us in bringing live theater back to Newport,” Mittleman said.

the Year after completing the SBDC Small Business Management Program.

The SBDC is currently recruiting interested candidates for the Small Business Management Program for 2022-2023. The program will begin in the fall of 2022 and will run through June 2023.

The program features monthly classes, many of which feature guest speakers who are experts in their fields on a variety of different topics.

The program also features monthly one-on-one advising sessions with Lambrecht or another SBDC advisor. The cost of the program is $200 per academic term, and there are scholarships available, including 100 percent tuition scholarship from the city of Lincoln City for any Lincoln City

business. Other entities, ranging from Northwest Oregon Works to the Toledo Rotary Club, have offered scholarships in the past and such opportunities may be

available for the new year from these or different organizations.

The Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) announces the adoption of rules to protect workers from the hazards of high heat and wildfire smoke.

The heat rule addresses access to shade and cool water, preventive cool-down breaks, and prevention plans, information and training. The wildfire smoke rule includes an array of exposure assessments and controls, and training and communication.

Both rules encompass initial protective measures for workers who rely on employer-provided housing, including as part of farm operations.

The rules, which take effect June 15 for heat and July 1 for wildfire smoke, are the most protective of their kind in the United States. The rules reflect the need to strengthen protections in the workplace against the extraordinary hazards of high heat and wildfire smoke while focusing on the needs of Oregon’s most vulnerable com-

munities.

“As we enter what we expect will be another hot and dry summer, all workers, including Oregon’s hard-working agricultural and farmworkers, deserve health and safety protections from extreme heat and wildfire smoke,” said Gov. Kate Brown.

“With these new rules from Oregon OSHA, I am proud that Oregon will be a national model for heat and wildfire smoke protections for all workers, regardless of income-level, occupation, or immigration status.”

Oregon OSHA – part of the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS) – adopted the rules, which were proposed in February. Proposal of the rules followed a development process that included worker and community stakeholder listening sessions, input and review by rule advisory committees, and input from employer and labor stakeholders. The rules build on temporary emergency require-

ments that were adopted in summer 2021 following several months of stakeholder and community engagement.

The rules are part of Oregon’s larger and ongoing work – initiated by Gov. Brown in her March 2020 executive order 20-04 – to mitigate the effects of climate change.

“We know the threats posed by high heat and wildfire smoke are not going away,” said Andrew Stolfi, director of DCBS. “These rules reflect that reality, and they bolster our ability to prepare for those hazards in the workplace.”

“As we move forward with these rules, Oregon OSHA will continue to offer free training and education resources to help employers achieve compliance,” said Renee Stapleton, acting administrator for Oregon OSHA.

Theatre West presents “Savannah Sipping Society” Theatre West presents “Savannah Sipping Society” by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope and Jamie Wooten. The director is Kaline Klaas.

The play will open Thursday, May 26, and run through Saturday, June 18. Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday on the Jack Coyne Stage at Theatre West with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 12.

On evening performance dates, the box office opens at 5 p.m., the doors open at 7 p.m., and the play begins promptly at 7:30 p.m. On matinee dates the box office opens at 12:30 p.m. and the doors open at 1:30 p.m. for the 2 p.m. performance.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended and can be made by calling (541) 994-5663. Please leave a message and someone will call you back. The theater currently only selling 45 seats per show and using an open seating plan to continue with social distancing opportunities as they remove the mask and vaccine requirements from previous performances.

The story: In this delightful, laugh-a-minute comedy, four unique southern women, all needing to escape the sameness of their day-today routines, are drawn together by fate—and an impromptu happy hour— and decide it’s high time to reclaim the enthusiasm for life they’ve lost through the years. Randa, a perfectionist and workaholic, is struggling to cope with a surprise career derailment that, unfortunately, reveals that she has no life and no idea how to get one.

Dot, still reeling from her husband’s recent demise and the loss of their plans for an idyllic retirement, faces the unsettling prospect of starting a new life from scratch—and all alone.

Earthy and boisterous Marlafaye, a

good ol’ Texas gal, has blasted into Savannah in the wake of losing her tom-cattin’ husband to a 23-year-old dental hygienist. The strength of her desire to establish a new life is equaled only by her desire to wreak a righteous revenge on her ex. Also new to town, Jinx, a spunky ball of fire, offers her services as a much-needed life coach for these women. However, blinded by her determination and efforts to get their lives on track, she overlooks the fact that she’s the one most in need of sage advice.

Over the course of six months, filled with laughter, hilarious misadventures, and the occasional liquid refreshment, these middle-aged women successfully bond and find the confidence to jumpstart their new lives. Together, they discover lasting friendships and a renewed determination to live in the moment—and most importantly, realize it’s never too late to make new old friends. So raise your glass to these strong Southern women and their fierce embrace of life and say “Cheers!” to this joyful and surprisingly touching Jones, Hope, Wooten comedy.

The cast: Joy Gallagher as Randa Covington, Alice Luchau as Marlafaye Mosley, Ellen Christian as Jinx Jenkins, Bonnie Ross as Dot Haigler, and Tricia Chandler as the grandmother. All of the actors have performed previously on the Jack Coyne stage in many plays, but this play sees saying farewell to Joy Gallagher, who will be moving after the run to be closer to family. Going out on a good one.

Theatre West is located at 3536 SE Hwy 101 in Lincoln City. Tickets for the show are $20 for adults, $18 for seniors (60 and over) and for students (over 12) and $12 for children 12 and under.

Oregon Coast Aquarium celebrates 30th anniversary The Oregon Coast Aquarium (OCAq) is celebrating 30 years of supporting marine life and inspiring ocean conservation on Oregon’s central coast.

OCAq was originally founded as a way to stimulate the economy in the Yaquina Bay area while also serving yearround residents, and became incorporated as a (501)(c)(3)

nonprofit educational organization in 1984.

After eight years of planning and fundraising, doors opened to the public on May 23, 1992.

Nine months later, OCAq had hosted its first million visitors. Since then, OCAq has continued to connect generations with the wonders of the

Oregon coast.

In 1996, OCAq gained international recognition for the role it played in rehabilitating Keiko, the world-renowned orca. After Keiko’s departure in 1998, OCAq transformed his habitat into Passages of the Deep, an acrylic tunnel snaking through three ocean habitats, which opened to the

public in 2000.

In the same year, OCAq received accreditation by the Association of Zoos & Aquariums, a status OCAq continues to maintain, denoting the highest standard of animal care and welfare.

Over the last three decades, OCAq has demonstrated an enduring commit-

ment to coastal communities and ocean advocacy. As it enters its next 30 years, OCAq will continue to broaden its impact, increasing its ability to engage visitors and serve marine wildlife.

“The Aquarium began as an idea to encourage growth in our coastal communities, and over the last thirty years

we’ve done that and so much more,” said OCAq President and CEO Carrie Lewis.

“We’ve rehabilitated endangered species, we’ve fostered strong ties with our community partners, and we’ve introduced millions to the splendor of the Oregon coast. The next thirty years are bound to be just as rewarding.”

Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation awards community grants to 71 nonprofits in first of three funding rounds The following Oregon recipients received grants: In its first of three community grant funding rounds in 2022, the Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation, a 501(c)(3) organization of Umpqua Bank, a subsidiary of Umpqua Holdings Corporation (NASDAQ: UMPQ), awarded 71 community grants to local nonprofits across its five-state footprint totaling $392,000. Umpqua’s community grants support nonprofit organizations across Oregon, Washington, Idaho, California and Nevada and are part of the bank’s overall foundation and corporate giving program that has invested $13.2 million since the foundation was formed in 2014.

“Nonprofits are evolving their essential services to strengthen communities during challenging times, and we’re honored to partner with and invest in their critical programs,” said Randy Choy, vice president of community giving and managing director of the Umpqua Bank Charitable Foundation. “We’re grateful for these nonprofits’ role in expanding access to economic opportunity for all our community members.”

These nonprofits, selected from among hundreds of applicants, in the first of three grant cycles in 2022, dem-

onstrated a steadfast commitment to serving low-to-moderate-income populations in at least one of eight categories: family engagement and resiliency; financial competency; housing stability and home ownership; college, career or technical readiness; entrepreneurship and business expansion; vibrant and equitable neighborhoods; technical and digital connectivity; and small business support and financial guidance.

The next deadline for community grant applications is 5 p.m. on Friday, June 3. Learn more at www.UmpquaBank.com/Community.

Workgroup to draft criteria for drone take-off, landing locations in state parks, ocean shores Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is convening a workgroup to draft criteria for managing drone take-off and landing in state parks and along the ocean shore. The process to adopt formal administrative rules, started in January 2022, was paused by OPRD Director Lisa Sumption to allow the group to conduct research and suggest ways to develop maps.

OPRD invited members to the workgroup who represent a wide range of interests and ex-

pertise, including conservation organizations, drone enthusiasts and trail users. The workgroup, which will report its results to Director Sumption, is first tasked with drafting criteria for where drone take-off and landing could be allowed and restricted. Then park managers will apply the criteria to create maps showing proposed drone take-off and landing locations in state parks and along the ocean shore.

Director Sumption paused the process of creating new

rules to guide drone use after a conversation with the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission and members of the public during an April 13 commission meeting. The decision follows a two-month public rulemaking process that generated much public feedback both in support and critical of the proposed rules.

“Drones are growing in popularity as a way to get outside and enjoy parks,” said Guy Rodrigue, OPRD Central

Resources manager, who will convene the workgroup. “This workgroup gives us a chance to hear from a diverse group of stakeholders on the best way to balance providing places for drone pilots to capture photos while also protecting wildlife and park lands.”

Once the drone criteria and maps are drafted and delivered to the director, OPRD expects to restart the process of amending the Oregon Administrative Rules by reconvening a Rule Advisory

Buy Local. Shop Local.

Committee (RAC). The committee will be able to refer to the criteria and maps as part of the process of drafting rules for drone pilots, hobbyists and the general public. Amended rules must be approved by the Oregon State Parks and Recreation Commission.

Currently, there are no state park rules that specifically prohibit people from flying a drone in an Oregon state park, though Federal Aviation Authority rules apply. However, some park managers have created

temporary limits on the places and times a person can use a drone to protect sensitive plants and animals as well as public and private property.

OPRD cannot adopt rules specifically related to drones without following the formal public process for amending the Oregon Administrative Rules.

Updates on the project and more information about flying drones in state parks are on the Oregon State Parks website at https://stateparks.oregon.gov/ index.cfm?do=v.page&id=97.

ODOT commits $100 million for EV charging infrastructure in the state

The Oregon Department of Transportation is all in on transportation electrification.

The agency is committing $100 million over the next five years to build out Oregon’s public electric vehicle charging network on several major road corridors, and to increase access for all to EV charging in communities throughout the state.

The funding comes from a mix of federal and state sources and was approved by the Oregon Transportation Commission at their March 30 meeting.

Amanda Pietz, administrator for ODOT’s Policy, Data & Analysis Division, said more EV charging infrastructure will help motivate Oregonians to choose an EV for their next car, SUV or bicycle.

“We know that range anxiety is a big factor in people’s reluctance to make the switch to electric vehicles, especially in more rural parts of the state,” said Pietz. “This investment will build Oregonians’ confidence that an EV can fit into their life and get them where they need to go.”

Electrifying Oregon’s transportation system is a key outcome in ODOT’s Strategic Action Plan, and part of the state’s push to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and address the climate change crisis.

How and where the funding will be spent

About two-thirds of the funding — $52 million from the 2021 federal infrastructure bill plus a required 20% match — must be spent on EV charging infrastructure along “Alternative Fuel Corridors,” as per guidance from the Federal Highway Administration.

Alternative Fuel Corridors are roads approved by the FHWA on which states may use federal funding to build alternative fuel infrastructure.

Electricity is an alternative fuel, and Oregon has seven corridors approved for federally funded EV charging: Interstates 5, 84, 82, and Hwy 26, 101,

20 and 97.

ODOT will nominate more corridors for federal approval over the next five years.

The remaining third of the money — $36 million — will be used to close EV infrastructure gaps beyond those seven corridors. More charging sites in rural and urban areas, underserved communities, and at apartment complexes will allow more Oregonians to charge where they live, work and play.

be spaced roughly every 50 miles, and each site will have at least four fast-chargers. Sites will be “futureproof” and ready to accept more, faster chargers as more Oregonians opt into EVs. ODOT does not install, own or operate public EV chargers. The agency relies on partnerships with private companies to build the state’s charging network.

The new charging sites installed on Oregon’s seven EV corridors will

for light-duty EVs like cars, SUVs and trucks because demand is high and the technology is mature.

ODOT isn’t ignoring other types of electric vehicles, however. Mediumand heavy-duty vehicles (semi-trucks, delivery vans and buses) and micro mobility (bicycles and scooters) are also going electric. The new charging sites will be able to serve some medium-duty vehicles, and ODOT will explore opportunities to add micro mobility charging.

Additionally, the 2021 federal infrastructure bill set aside billions in competitive grants for additional EV

charging infrastructure, and ODOT will seek federal funding for electric medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

Funding for public EV charging is critical for Oregon’s electric future, but only one side of the equation.

“Money doesn’t surmount all barriers,” said Pietz. “Regulations and policies that benefit electrification play a role, too, and we rely on our partner agencies for help there. Couple that with our other work and investments in walking and rolling, bicycling and congestion pricing, and we can move the needle on transportation emissions in a big way.”

Public input opens on comment process for Historic Preservation Committee

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is accepting public comments on proposed changes to the comment process during meetings of the State Advisory Committee on Historic Preservation (SACHP), which reviews nominations to the National Register of Historic Places. The deadline for comments is 5 p.m. May 31.

OPRD is proposing updates to the Oregon Administrative Rules that govern how individuals submit comments during public meetings of the SACHP. Under the proposed rule, comments would be submitted to OPRD staff who would share them with committee members during the meeting. Any comments not material to the nomination would not be shared.

The proposed rule is similar to a temporary rule put into place in November 2021 after a virtual meeting of the committee was interrupted when an attendee began typing racial and homophobic slurs directed at members of the committee.

Without action, the rule language would revert to its prior form. In order for the temporary rule language to become permanent, the agency must open the proposed amendment for public comment and follow the rule adoption process.

“Under the proposed rule, the committee will continue to hear all comments relevant to the listing criteria,” said Ian Johnson,

associate deputy state historic preservation officer. “The purpose is not to censor comments, but to prevent hate speech from interrupting a meeting.”

OPRD will accept public comments on the proposed changes at a virtual public hearing set to stream on Zoom at 6 p.m. May 23. Register to attend at https://us06web.zoom.us/ webinar/register/WN_jvfmGbyARu-YJDQol8nFWw.

Oregon gasoline prices rise over $5 a gallon JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The price you pay for gasoline in most cities in Oregon has now jumped to over $5 a gallon.

Pump prices began rising significantly following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The prices took another sharp jump, over 30 cents a gallon in some cities this past weekend surging to over $5 a gallon for unleaded.

According to the American Automobile Association’s (AAA) price survey, the national and Oregon averages skyrocketed to new record highs after the price of oil jumped above $110 per barrel over the past week. Pump prices are setting new record highs again this week with

the Oregon average climbing above $5 a gallon for the first time ever.

The major driver is the high cost of crude oil which is above $110 per barrel. For the week, the national average for regular jumps 15 cents to $4.52 a gallon. The Oregon average soars 21 cents to $5.06.

“When we have high gasoline prices, they do trickle down to every part of the economy impacting all goods delivered by trucks powered by gasoline and diesel,” AAA Oregon/ Idaho Public Affairs Director Marie

Dodds said. “Everything we purchase and that we need transitions down to additional

transportation costs.”

Dodds said it’s not likely that there will be any price relief soon.

“Unfortunately, crude oil remains significantly elevated because of the ongoing war in Ukraine,” Dodds said.

“Oil supplies were already tight before that.”

The previous tight oil market is the result the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Dodds.

“We saw demand for oil and gas fall dramatically during the pandemic,” she said. “The bottle fell out of the oil market, so production was reduced because of the loss of demand. It takes a lot of infrastructure, a lot of labor and a lot of time to ramp the supplies back up.”

Following the Ukraine invasion, countries around the world ceased ordering Russia crude oil, as a protest to the war.

“So, Russian crude oil is

no longer in place and that oil has to be replaced from supplies around the world and that is why prices are rocketing up,” Dodds said.

Pump prices are fueled by the most part from the cost of crude oil.

“On the average, abut 53 percent of what we pay for a gallon of gasoline is for the price of crude,” Dodds said. “Twelve percent is for refining, 21 percent is for distribution and marketing, and 15 percent is for taxes.”

Dodds said the zooming gasoline prices are having a psychological impact on drivers.

“People have done their best in dealing with $4 gasoline, but when you see $5-plus for a gallon posted on the service station signs, that does send shock waves,” she said.
