Lincoln City will be getting a little more colorful and artistically engaged this summer with the addition of new murals. Last summer, Activate Arts, a nonprofit that organizes arts in the community, created four outdoor murals throughout the city. The creative pieces of work were the handy work of several local artists, as well

as kids in the community. With the positive reception from locals and visitors alike, Activate Arts Found and Executive Director Crystal Akins asked the city council’s permission last week to create six more murals in the summer of 2021. “These are all local artists within Lincoln City and really this (project) is to cultivate more relationships with our youth and artists in town,” Akins told the city

council during their March 22 meeting. The six new creations will feature the work of Krista Eddy, who hopes to work with a youth summer camp for a mural on the Community Center walls; Katia Kyte, who will be painting native coastal flowers at Josephine Young Park; Bryan Nichols, who plans to work with youth on a painting at the NW 26th St. beach See MURALS, Page 7

The City of Lincoln City issued citations to an electric scooter company based in California after they dropped off their scooters in town despite being denied use by the city council. Bird Rides Inc. of Santa Monica, Calif., is a shared e-scooter company that gave a presentation to city council on March 22 in hopes of dispersing about 75 scooters throughout Lincoln City. Representative Michael Covato spoke on Bird Rides’ behalf, explaining that the service is accessed via a mobile app on a smartphone that you can download, complete a safety tutorial, then unlock a scooter near you to ride. The service costs $1 to begin plus a fee per minute of use. Covato informed council that the scooters would come at no cost to the city and the company would hire a local fleet manager to take charge of the scooters. “We feel your city could get a significant benefit from using our system,” Cavoto told city council. Cavato said the company would disperse the 75 scooters strategically at locations such as the Community Center, hotels, etc. Scooters can also disable when taken to certain areas outside of the company’s boundaries, making it easier for the company to manage where

Lincoln City searches for interim city manager MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net The City of Lincoln City is in search of a new city manager after Ron Chandler announced this week that his final day will be April 30. Chandler, Lincoln City’s current city manger, will be starting a new job for the City of Silverton on May 1 after accepting the city manager position last week. During a March 9 public meet and greet with the City of Silverton, Chandler said he and his wife had been visiting the town for years and had been interested in relocating there. “She was a big part in this decision, saying that this is a place we should look at,” Chandler told the Silverton city council. Chandler said he also

liked Silverton from a professional standpoint as well. “When my wife and I decided to make a change, we started to look at the communities where the opportunities, the challenges, the people, the city council, would provide the types of opportunities for situations that we could enjoy… that we could help with. We found that to be the case with Silverton,” Chandler said. Chandler will have just over a month left in Lincoln City to finish up some of his duties such as compiling the final budget plans for the city. During that time, the Lincoln City city council will be looking for a interim city manager who will serve a six month term, council president Judy Casper said during the March 22 council meeting.

City Manager Ron Chandler has accepted a new position as city manger in Silverton, Ore. He will be finishing up the Lincoln City budget plans before his departure. “It’s probably wise to look internally,” Casper said of who Chandler’s replacement will be. “We have a

very talented staff and very dependable department heads.” Casper asked the council

to send suggestions to her of possible replacements. The city council will then hold a discussion about it at

the April 12 meeting. Casper said she will be contacting the recommended candidates who will be voted on by the council. “I can’t think of anyone else that would understand our process more than our skilled staff,” Casper said. “We’ve been through this process before, we’ve sought a city manager and there are steps that we need to take.” Casper said she has also been in touch with the League of Oregon Cities, a retired mayor and other city managers who have been helping create a job description and list of qualifications. The April 12 meeting will be available for viewing by the public on the city’s website at lincolncity.org.

Frontline workers to be eligible for vaccine April 5 ZACK DEMARS Country Media

Oregon’s COVID-19 vaccination effort is picking up speed once again. State officials announced on Friday, March 26, plans to open vaccine appointments to more groups sooner than originally planned, making frontline workers and other groups eligible for the vaccine starting April 5. “In keeping with Oregon’s commitment to equity, this change gives frontline workers and other group seven populations more time to get vaccinated,” Oregon Health Authority (OHA) Director Patrick Allen said. “It also ensures that counties that have seen a plateau in demand among older adults can make sure they can continue to keep putting shots in arms at a rapid pace.” Approximately 800,000 people were originally scheduled to become eligible two weeks ago, and now are able to get vaccines April 5. That group includes: - Frontline workers as defined by the CDC - Multigenerational household members - Adults 16-44 with underlying health conditions That group will join another set of individuals who became eligible last week in 22 counties, and are set to be eligible statewide by March 29 at the latest, including: - All adults 45-64 with underlying health conditions - Migrant and seasonal farm

The Oregon Health Authority announced a new timeline that will put the state on track to vaccinating the general public by May 1. workers - Seafood and agricultural workers - Food processing workers - People living in low-income senior housing, senior congregate and independent living - Individuals experiencing homelessness - People currently displaced by wildfires - Wildland firefighters - Pregnant people 16 and older Complete eligibility lists and definitions of “underlying health conditions” and “frontline workers” are available on the state’s website at covidvaccine.oregon. gov/. The newest timeline gives state and local health officials time to

vaccinate higher-risk populations before vaccinations open to the general public by May 1. That timeline could change, too — Allen announced counties may be able to move ahead in vaccinating the general population on April 26, if approved by OHA based on the county’s vaccination rate and appointment availability. “We’ll ask counties to include an attestation that they’re ready to move forward, and to document their efforts to vaccinate previously eligible populations that they expect to have appointments available to expand sooner than May 1,” Allen said. Friday’s news came as Oregon still lagged behind other states across the country in its rate of

vaccinating seniors. About two thirds of Oregonians 65 and over have received a vaccine, putting the state around 35th in the country, according to OHA data. “Oregon’s recent high rate of vaccinating seniors has put us closer to most other states in the percentage of seniors who’ve been immunized, but some counties continue to lag,” Allen said. As always, the state’s new timeline is only achievable if it receives enough doses of the vaccine to administer shots to those eligible. State officials said they’d anticipated an additional 40,000 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine they didn’t end up receiving last week. “We still expect to receive sufficient supplies of doses from the federal government to hit the eligibility timelines Governor Brown just announced,” Allen said. “Despite the disappointing shortfall in Johnson and Johnson (doses), the numbers continue to show that our total supplies will be adequate to vaccinate all Oregon adults by early June.” The state will soon begin to hit a plateau in demand for the vaccine, and public health efforts will need to be redirected to encourage residents to get a vaccine, rather than managing limited supply, according to Allen. “Right now, as we get deeper into the senior population, we’re seeing demand slow in some counties,” Allen said. “Some counties remain below 50% of seniors vaccinated — not because they

don’t have appointments open. Some of the counties that are the furthest behind in vaccination rates are counties that conversely have our highest COVID-19 infection rates.” Officials said Friday the vaccines already administered are having an impact, as Oregon’s trend of new virus cases is still decreasing. “We continue to see a general trend of declining daily covid-19 cases, virus-related hospitalizations and positive test results as more Oregonians are getting vaccinated every day,” OHA State Epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger said. “This is also because of the work of all Oregonians in continuing to wear masks, gather more safely and keep your distance.” The state’s seven-day case average is down almost threequarters from where it was at the beginning of the year, Sidelinger said, adding that newer, more dangerous variants of the virus have yet to take hold in Oregon as they have in other states. And while masks, social distancing and other public health measures are still necessary to prevent those variants from spreading, Sidelinger said vaccinations will continue to be a useful tool in the fight against the pandemic. “Based on our observation, we are confident that the existing vaccines can effectively prevent severe infection resulting in hospitalization or death,” Sidelinger said.

Two arrested in Depoe Bay after firing BB-guns THE NEWS GUARD

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office (LCSO) received a report of shots in the area of SE Shell Avenue in Depoe Bay at around 8:15 a.m. on March 26. LCSO and Oregon State Police Troopers responded

to secure the scene and learned there was no initial threat to the public. Upon further investigation, LCSO learned the shooting incident involved two residents at 482 SE Highway 101 in Depoe Bay. Aiden Isaac Dempsey, 24, and Andrew Keith Hodge, 28, became

upset at a neighboring business who was reportedly playing loud music, LCSO officials said. The investigation determined Dempsey fired over a dozen rounds from a CO2 powered BB-Gun and Hodge fired a single round from a large-caliber handgun in apparent at-

OHA monitoring four people for Ebola virus

JEREMY C. RUARK Country Media

As of March 24, Guinea has reported 18 Ebola cases and nine Ebolarelated deaths. The Guinea outbreak is centered in Nzérékoré Prefecture, which is in the southern region of the country near the Liberian border. Democratic Republic of the Congo has reported 12 Ebola cases and six Ebolarelated deaths. The outbreak in DRC is in North Kivu Province, which is in the eastern part of the country near the Ugandan border. The outbreaks are limited to small areas of each country and are not in large population centers.

Public health officials in Oregon are monitoring four people who recently visited the West African countries of Guinea and Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Regions in each of these countries are currently experiencing outbreaks of Ebola virus disease. There is low risk for people in Oregon, according to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA). What is Ebola? Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) is a rare and deadly disease in people and nonhuman primates, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which states on its wesbite that the viruses that cause EVD are located mainly in subSaharan Africa. People can get EVD through direct contact with an infected animal (bat or nonhuman primate) or a sick or dead person infected with Ebola virus. Ebola virus disease is caused by an infection with a group of viruses within the genus Ebolavirus.

The Oregon Health Authority said the Ebola virus is currently a low risk to residents of Oregon. Oregon monitoring The OHA and local public health departments said they have been in contact with these individuals, who are considered “persons under monitoring,” since they arrived in the state earlier in March. The goal of this contact is to determine their risk, if any, of being exposed to Ebola and ensure their safety, as well as the safety of their families and the community.

“We want to make sure these individuals have the support they need to monitor their health, stay in contact with public health officials and safely get help with medical services if it comes to that,” said Richard Leman, M.D., Chief Medical Officer for Health Security, Preparedness and Response at the OHA Public Health Division. Ebola cases

Travel warnings The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued Level 3 travel warnings for the affected regions in both countries, recommending people avoid nonessential travel there. Beginning March 4, CDC has required all airlines to supply contact information for all U.S.bound travelers who have been in Guinea or Democratic Republic of the Congo in the last 21 days — the largest known incubation period for Ebola. U.S.-bound travelers who have been in

affected countries are routed through six international airports: Dulles in Washington, D.C.; John F. Kennedy in Queens, NY; Newark Liberty in Newark, NJ; O’Hare in Chicago, IL; Hartsfield-Jackson in Atlanta, GA; and LAX in Los Angeles, CA. Upon arrival, they are interviewed to determine if they are symptomatic and to confirm their contact information. If they are symptomatic, they will be offered medical evaluation. CDC shares information for travelers from affected regions whose itineraries include Oregon. That way, public health authorities can contact these travelers and ensure they know symptoms to watch for and how to receive prompt medical evaluation if they become ill with symptoms consistent with Ebola.

Next steps

OHA and local public health officials also are reaching out to international non-governmental organizations with services in the affected countries to request early notification for any volunteers traveling to Oregon after recent work in those areas. In addition, OHA and local public health officials are contacting community-based organizations in Oregon to help the persons under monitoring with language access and other support services.

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY Looking Toward The Future I understand that Ron Chandler will be leaving Lincoln City to accept the position of City Manager in Silverton. I wish him well. I also hope that our city will hire an Interim Manager before hiring a new City Manager. Organizations do this all the time. The time immediately following Ron’s departure should be used to assess the future needs (and wants) of the entire city. This takes time and effort on the part of the elected officials and all interested citizens of the community. Lots of questions should arise – Do we want to continue as we are? What vision do we have of our future as a coastal community? Do we have a list of priorities for our city and citizens? Can we describe the most important characteristics that we want in our next City Manager?

We need to address questions like these (and others) before we will be able to look at potential candidates for our next City Manager. We should create a group/commission made up of city officials and citizens to examine these questions. Only afterwards will we be in a position to send out application requests for a new City Manager. I implore the City Council and the citizens of Lincoln City to put an Interim City Manager in place while we seriously discuss the future we envision for Lincoln City. Georgia Roelof, Lincoln City

Celebrating Our Doctors March 30 is National Doctors’ Day. Together with Chief Medical Officer Robert Turngren, MD, we express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation for the hundreds of Samaritan Health

Services physicians who consistently demonstrate exemplary care and compassion for their patients, as well as the larger community. This year’s recognition is particularly relevant, given the challenges and successes of the past year. This included the quick pivot to providing telehealth to our patients and managing the additional challenges of COVID hospitalizations and related precautions. We invite you to share your own expression of gratitude to a physician by visiting samhealth.org/ HonorADoc. Complete the brief on-line form and we will deliver your personal message. On Doctors’ Day, and every day, we say thanks to our physicians for all they do to help us “Build Healthier Communities Together.” Doug Boysen, President/CEO, Samaritan Health Services

Hard Questions About VRD’s A city recently passed legislation to phase out most vacation rentals in residential neighborhoods by 2023. City Council voted unanimously to support the initiative and it was supported soundly by the voters. Sadly, I’m not speaking of Lincoln City. It was the residents of Cathedral City in California that saw their city leaders stand up for them. As more cities and counties realize the negative impact of vacation rentals on neighborhoods, more city and county leaders are pushing vacation rentals out of neighborhoods instead of cowering over the fear of lawsuits by AirBnB and others supporting the industry. When litigation does happen, rulings are overwhelmingly going against the vacation rental industry. AirBnB spent $75k fighting Cathedral City and still lost.

All candidates running for mayor owe us their opinion on this subject. Except Don Williams, who already stated on the record while serving as mayor previously, he doesn’t believe in restrictions on the number of VRD’s allowed in LC. He made this statement when we were trying to get a 10% cap in Roads End. Years later my neighborhood is still overrun with VRD’s, nowhere near the approved 10% cap, because attrition isn’t the answer. There are cities and counties across the US, as well as other countries, who rely on tourism, yet they have said ENOUGH to destroying neighborhoods with vacation rentals. The reasons are the same no matter which state, city or country you look at. If they did it, why can’t we? Better yet, why haven’t we? Elaine Starmer, Lincoln City

Guest Column: A call to end the war

Human beings are born innocent and molded into the image each society demands. We are not by nature warlike; we have been forged into being hostile and fearful by our civilizations through the institution of war since its inception 5,000 years ago. All of us carry the heavy burden and trauma of having to live among warlords, and most every sovereign country on Earth is a warlord on a national scale. Is it time to end the age of war and enter the era of peace? First, I want to honor every man, woman and child who had to die in

wars willingly or unwillingly. It is because of you and those who might follow in your bootsteps that we might consider this proposal to end war. In the name of the fallen let us bring peace on Earth and goodwill to all humanity. The time of war making is over, but certainly not the means to protect ourselves should be over. Although, that is another story to be written alongside the evaluation of the current practices and costs of our military. I believe that the way the United States military is conducted today is one of the most destructive forces

on Earth and keeps citizens anything but safe, free and healthy. And here is why: 1. By maintaining the largest military by far (spending more than the next 11 largest world armies combined), we the U.S. is perceived as the world’s police and aggressor, making America a target. We reap what we sow – terror. It is a proven fact that wars do not reduce, but create and multiply a countries enemies. 2. The US military is the world’s largest single polluter of CO2 through its massive consumption of fossil fuels and waging wars to secure those fuels. 3. While the United

sia. The fact is that wars no longer are fought to end war but simply to maintain an economy based on them. 5. Today for every one combatant killed, nine civilians are killed; the majority of these are children. For moral and practical reasons how about We the People of the world propose to our governments the creation of an unarmed force built as a national/ international service that sees to the needs of our citizens in times of crisis – immeditately!

access; and Akins, who will be working on three public art murals at Wecoma Park, the Kids and Seniors Park and at the Siletz Bay near Mo’s Restaurant. Each mural costs about $7,000 and are fully funded through private donations and grants. Akins said there are several benefits to this type of public art, such as it being accessible and free for the public to view, it builds community relationships between youth programs and local artists, and it also promotes tourism. Maintenance of the murals is handled by Activate Arts and Lincoln City Parks and Recreation. Through a tough winter season, Akins said last summer’s murals have held up nicely, with just some minor peeling. “I recently went and looked at all the murals to see how they were holding up and I have grids of all the colors we used, so we’re going to do some renovations parties and ask the community to come out and paint with us. But our murals have held up very well, there’s not too much that needs to be done to them,” Akins said. Akins said with the materials

they used, these street murals can last 10-15 years without maintenance. The artists are ready to get to work starting August 2021. During that time the artist will get a five day permit in which there will be power washing, laying out the grid, painting and cleaning. Community members and kids are welcome to help out. “Adults are welcome to the project, but we really focus on kids, especially kids who are marginalized,” Akins said. “I specialize working with kids from the BIPOC community because I am a person of color, I also work with kids in the shelters, so we want to work with kids who don’t have access to art because they are experiencing poverty.” The new murals will be the second phase in Akin’s project vision. Phase three will include five more murals in 2022, totaling in 15 murals all together. After all 15 murals are created, Activate Arts will look to create a brochure that details the murals and where to find them all. Akins is confident that the new murals will get a positive reception from the community

as a whole just like last summer. Activate Arts held a virtual celebration after the first four were finished. That event featured over 50,000 viewers online. “I feel like our art kind of brought people together who don’t usually come together in Lincoln City,” Akins said. “We had city council members there, tribal council members, all kinds of community come to this event… it was very exciting to see so many people come together because that’s why we do this.” The city council voted unanimously to approve the six new murals.

way 101?” Skinner asked. Cavato acknowledged some of the short comings of the scooter program in Portland, but also felt it was not reflective of all scooter programs across the country. He also acknowledged the safety concerns and said the company has done several transit safety studies and found scooters were comparable with bicycles. “If you feel comfortable having bicycles on the streets of Lincoln City, there shouldn’t be any reason not to feel comfortable having the e-scooters there,” Cavato said. Cavato also said that the local fleet manager will be tasked with making sure scooters are parked appropriately daily and the community can report any issues directly to the company. Councilor Riley Hoagland asked if there have been successful systems in smaller cities

similar to Lincoln City. Cavato said they have had success in small cities on the west and east coasts. In one example, he said they tally roughly 850 rides per week in a city with only 50 scooters. Hoagland also raised concerns about the highway. “Our businesses largely don’t exist off the highway, that means taking side streets… the terrain is not flat and it is often without sidewalks off the highway,” Hoagland said. Cavato said he doesn’t imagine people would take them along the highway, just like a bicycle. He also stated the scooters have been battle tested in cities such as San Francisco and is confident they can handle the coastal terrain. “Highway 101 does present some issues. It’s not an insurmountable (challenge),” Cavoto

they are parked. Users are also required to take a photo of the scooter to prove it is parked correctly. Councilor Anne Marie Skinner opened discussions amongst the council by revealing some concerns from the city’s perspective. “At first blush, I’m opposed,” Skinner said. “There was an escooter program in Portland… it was a disaster. From my perspective, they are a safety hazard.” Skinner also brought up the fact that the scooters cannot be taken on roads with a speed limit over 25 miles per hour, which would exclude the use of the scooters near Highway 101 and Devils Lake Road. “That leaves just the side streets and there aren’t through connections on the side streets, so how are they going to get around if they can’t be on High-

said. “We operate in over 150 cities globally at this time. Many of which have similar layouts. Without question I know that we will find solutions.” Councilor Rick Mark had a different tone than his fellow councilors. “I would like to be able to give this more consideration,” Mark said. Mark suggested a work session to allow city staff to look into Bird Rides more in depth and address some of the concerns. Mark made a motion to hold a work session, which was seconded by Councilor Mitch Parsons. “This sounds like it could be a fun thing for the city to consider,” Mark said during discussions. “I can drive from the casino to Dutch Bros on backgrounds when traffic is heavy and people on scooters could do

the same thing. I think there are advantages here that we’re not all considering.” However, the rest of the council felt they had heard enough and voted against any further discussions. Councilor Mark’s motion failed 4-2. In the days following the decision, Lincoln City residents reported seeing e-scooters in popular areas such as D River Wayside that were branded with the Bird Rides logo. The city was informed on Wednesday night that the scooters were out and about. City Council President Judy Casper said they are unsure of how the scooters got there, but told The News Guard that the company had been issued citations for violating city ordinance codes. By Thursday, March 25, all the scooters were removed from the city streets.

“I enjoy learning how things work and how to fix them when they break,” he said. “Solving people’s problems starts with listening.” Dr. Clark fell in love with the Pacific Northwest on previous travels. He chose Samaritan because he wanted to work for

a non-profit organization, and he agrees with the mission of building healthier communities together. In his free time, Dr. Clark enjoys home remodeling and repair projects, travel, learning and athletics. Dr. Van Anrooy specializes in total joint replacement surgery

Distracted driving enforcement operations planned for April THE NEWS GUARD During the month of April, the Lincoln City Police Department plans on utilizing traffic safety grant funds to put extra officers on duty for enhanced Distracted Driving Enforcement. The month of April has been designated as the National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and Lincoln City enforcement efforts will occur in conjunction with Distracted Driving enforcement efforts conducted by other law enforcement agencies across the state and nation. Their first enhanced enforcement operation is planned for April 7, 2021, with additional operations to follow during the month. Distracted Driving is a dangerous behavior for drivers, passengers, and non-occupants alike, LCPD officials say. Distracted driving is a specific type of inattention that occurs when drivers divert their attention from the driving task, to focusing on some other activity instead. These enforcement efforts are designed to increase the

of the knee, hip and shoulder, reverse shoulder replacement and shoulder arthroscopy. He likes to help athletes recover from injury, and he encourages his patients to improve and maintain their health through physical activity. He earned a bachelor’s degree from Augustana College and a medical degree at Rush Medical College, where he also completed residency training and an internship. Dr. Van Anrooy served in the U.S. Air Force before he founded and ran an orthopedic practice in Roseburg for 22 years. He has spent his career working in critical access hospitals that provide care to rural communities. In his free time, he enjoys outdoor activities, including paddleboard surfing. Both surgeons are accepting new patients and can be reached at 541-557-6477.

LCPD will utilize extra funds to ramp up distracted driving enforcement next month. 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 electronic 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 from 2014-2018 there

were 13,603 fatal and injury crashes involving distracted drivers in Oregon (all ages) resulting in 137 fatalities and 20,992 injuries. Nationally in 2019 there were 3,142 fatalities involving distracted driving. The Distracted Driving Enforcement grant funds are a valuable resource that assists LCPD in improving the traffic safety in the community. The objective is to raise awareness of the dangers of distracted driving and to re-

duce the number of distracted drivers from the roadways and prevent crashes that cause injuries and cost lives. These grant funds were made possible through the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact. Information submitted by Sergeant Jeffrey G. Winn.

Last year, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office personnel responded to more than 23,759 calls for service ranging from criminal investigations of all types to mental health crisis interventions, animal complaints, and ordinance violations.

Girls soccer wins, boys battle rival Dayton

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Online shopping Now available! While most Taft 7-12 students were enjoying a break from school activities during spring break last week, several Tiger athletes were out on the field competing. Girls Soccer

In a season that features a very limited schedule, playing many of the same opponents multiple times, the Taft 7-12 girls soccer team was able to use that to their advantage on March 22 when they faced Yamhill-Carlton for the second time in a row. The Taft Lady Tigers dropped a close 2-1 battle with YC on March 19 as they played without senior leader Avery Nightengale. With Nightengale back in the lineup last week, Taft had that extra edge in the rematch. Both teams went scoreless in the first half as teams began to get a feel for each other. “I made a few adjustments on offense at half and the kids executed them to perfection,” head coach Joey Arce-Torres said. “About 13 minutes into the second half, Chloe Peterson hit a perfect through ball to the sprinting Nightingale for her to hit the back of the net.” The goal by Nightengale was

not an unfamiliar sight as she has scored in every match she’s played in this season. Arce-Torres said the team also had a great effort from the defense courtesy of junior Arianna Moralez and freshmen Miranda Hankins and Diana Lucas. “Our defense kept a superb YC offense from finding much success which frustrated them to no end,” Arce-Torres said. “Team defense was huge which complimented our goaltending. Multi-talented junior Nicole Reyes kept YC scoreless, probably for

the first time in years.” Taft would tack on an unassisted goal by junior Chloe Peterson late in the game to ensure the Tigers’ first win of the season, 2-1. “The kids deserved this win and in this style,” Arce-Torres said. “I am proud of each of them and know in my heart, this win was a big one. Trust each other and just do your job, everything else will take care of itself.” The girls squad was right back in action on March 24 when they welcomed Dayton High School to

Lincoln City. The Lady Tigers used the momentum of their first win on Monday to their advantage and battled a strong Dayton team that is so far undefeated in nine games. Taft scored in the first half when Hankins launched a long hit that bounced over the Dayton goalkeepers head. Taft then used their stingy defense to keep Dayton scoreless until halftime. With less than a minute left in the match, the Pirates received an advantageous call which gave them a free kick outside the box. “To our dismay, with the additional traffic in the box, our goalie couldn’t see the ball as clearly as usual and the ball snuck in,” ArceTorres said. “The match ended 20 seconds later.” Ending in a 1-1 tie, the Taft Tigers accomplished something only two other teams have this season against Dayton: score a goal. “They truly dodged a bullet,” Arce-Torres said. “We felt some disappointment but realized we had played a great match against a very tough unit. We may not always come out with the victory, but no one will ever question our toughness or our sportsmanship!” Taft will close out their season this week with a home game against Amity/Perrydale on March 31. That game

is slated to start at 3:30 p.m. Boys Soccer The Taft 7-12 boys soccer team knew they were in for a tough matchup when they faced Dayton on the road on March 26. The Pirates, who had won four games already this year were coming off a season in which they had to forfeit most of their games in 2019 due to an eligibility ruling. Last Friday’s matchup proved to be a great back and forth game according to head coach Ryan Ulicni. Taft gained an early lead, but Dayton stayed on the attack and tied the game at halftime. “They managed to get a goal to take the lead late in the game,” Ulicni said. “We never fully recovered from getting behind. I tried to adjust and it seemed to get worse. These boys give their everything every game. Our team was better than the final score… No shortage of effort by anyone.” Taft ended up losing 4-2 when the dust settled, despite two goals from senior William Calderon. The Tigers will face Newport this week for the third time this season on March 31. That game is scheduled to start at 5 p.m. The Tigers are 2-0 against the Cubs this season.

Message of the Month A Little History Lesson ...

My friends and family tease me that I am the only person they know who finds insurance interesting, and they are probably right. I do find the concept of insurance interesting but more to the point, I bet you didn’t know that “insurance” has been around for thousands of years! In some form, insurance dates all the way back to pre-history. Village folks realized that a good way to protect themselves was to band together and if one villager’s house was destroyed, they would all work to rebuild the home. They were managing their risk - and that is the purpose of insurance. In Medieval times when sea-trade became one of the main sources of commerce, ship owners wanted to protect their ships and their contents. Traveling the oceans from one port to another was dangerous to life and property. To protect their property from these risks, ship owners joined together and sent their goods in separate shiploads to avoid a loss if the vessel was damaged or destroyed. These folks were smart – they were spreading their risk.

Today, insurance functions the same way. When you pay your insurance premiums, the funds go into a pool of money that pays the claims of all of folks insured by the same company. As a consumer you need to know how much (or little) insurance you have. There is nothing worse than having a loss then realizing you don’t have the insurance coverage you need to pay the claim! That’s why meeting with your agent on a regular basis to review your policies is so important. Your agent can pin-point gaps in coverage and make sure that what matters to you most is properly insured.
