Governor outlines plans to reopen Oregon JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

O

regon could be fully reopened in two weeks if the state can maintain its current COVID-19 vaccination rate.

That’s the assessment from Oregon Gov. Kate Brown who outlined the state’s plans to reopen during a Friday morning news briefing.

As of June 1, 66.2% of Oregonians 18 years old and older have been vaccinated. Brown earlier had set a 70% vaccinate goal statewide to be met by the end of June.

“Thanks to all of you we are getting close to fully reopening our economy and moving out of this chapter of the pandemic. We just need 127,000 Oregonians to take your shot for us to reopen in the next two weeks,” Brown said.

Brown said the vaccinations have led to a sharp decline in COVID-19 case counts and hospitalizations.

Reopening outline In Brown’s outline of fully reopening Oregon, she said there would be no more capacity limits for businesses.

Masks would largely no longer be required by the state with the exception of places that the federal government has outlined that are still necessary, such as airports, public transit and health care settings, and no more requirements for physical distancing.

“By in large we will be able to return to the activities and traditions we have missed for more than a year, (such as) 4th of July barbecues, eating popcorn in movie theaters, or getting a beer after work at the local brewery with your friends. Restaurants and bars will be able to have a full house,” Brown said.

The governor also said she expected that K-12 schools will return to full time in-person instruction in the fall and that child care settings will be able to meet the needs of Oregon’s families.

“Because children are not yet eligible for vaccinations, there may be some health and safety measures that need to stay in place for those types of educational settings,” Brown said. “But again, Oregon’s primary school instruction will be in the classroom five days a week this fall.”

State focus shifting Brown said the state is now shifting its focus on emergency response to pandemic recovery to move forward with the support of health care providers, and public health with the resources to manage outbreaks locally.

“I want to be very clear,” Brown said. “We are able to reopen because of the advocacy of the vaccine. For those of you who are vaccinated you have helped us reach this point and you are protected from this virus.”

he road less traveled seldom leads to the same destination. The road for some students is not typical, as some students don’t fit the mold of traditional educational structure. Some students have struggles beyond the usual late assignment. For Career Tech High School students in Lincoln City, they found a place to call home. They’ve achieved the first destination in laying the steppingstones for their future...their own way.

Family, administrators and faculty, including Lincoln County Super Intendant Dr. Karen Gray, joined the 2021 graduates for an evening of celebration on Friday June 4th at The Beach Club & Event Center in Lincoln City. The event was just as unique as the students’ paths converging. It was unique,, festive

and full of love and support.. These students have accomplished something that many, including themselves, believed wouldn’t happen at one point or another. They have completed High School.

Police brace for major traffic issues JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

With tourism surging in Lincoln City as the pandemic restrictions ease, Lincoln City Police are bracing for the impact this summer.

“We anticipate traffic this summer to be very heavy due to anticipated increase in visitors to the Oregon Coast,” Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) Sgt. Jeffrey Winn said. “We expect there will be traffic slowdowns and delays in the normal choke points of Highway 101 where traffic is funneled from two lanes down to one lane.”

What officers are finding While officers are finding assorted traffic violations, the most frequent traffic violations include drivers without the required licenses and insurance.

“We issue a lot of citations for Driving While Suspended and Driving Uninsured,” he said.

According to Winn, the violations that substantially increase the chance for motor vehicle crashes and injuries are the following moving violations: • Speeding • Failing to Obey a Traffic Control Device, • Following to Closely • Dangerous Left Turn • Distracted Driving (Use of a Cell Phone or Electronic Devise While Driving).

“In addition to those violations, Passing a vehicle Stopped at a Cross Walk and Failing to Yield to a Person in a Cross Walk have high potential for causing serious injuries or death,” Winn said. “Of course Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants (DUII) is a crime that has a very high potential for crashes with injury or death.”

Fines and driver attitude The fine amounts traffic violators face are set by the courts and are based on the classification

Lincoln City Police patrol officers are working to help ease traffic congestion and are urge drivers to be patient and to follow safe driving habits. of the violation or in the case of speeding, the increase depending on how fast over the speed limit you are going, Winn said.

“The violation fines generally range from $115, $165, $265 or $440,” he said. “The lower fines are generally for most equipment type violations while the higher fines are for moving violations. Speeding, Failing to Obey a Traffic Control Device, Following to Closely, Dangerous Left Turn, Passing a vehicle Stopped at a Crosswalk and Failing to Yield to a Person in a Cross are $265.”

Winn said officers receive a wide range of comments from drivers stopped for traffic violations.

“Generally, they say they didn’t know or realize they were committing the violation,” Winn said. “An example would be, they didn’t know they were speeding, or they didn’t know what the speed limit was, or they thought the light was yellow when they went through etc.”

According to Winn, LCPD patrol officers are seeing a specific driver attitude.

“Everyone seems to be in a hurry these days and are trying to get somewhere,” Winn said. “You couple this with the heavy traffic and slow downs and they can become very frustrated and angry which causes them to drive more aggressively, this increases the chances for a crash to occur.”

Dealing with the traffic jams LCDP is conducting most traffic enforcement with on-duty patrol personnel, but depending on staffing, LCPD does increase patrols during some holidays and/or special event time periods. Winn said the increases are generally discussed and set by the supervisory staff members.

“We also utilize traffic safety grant funds to put on extra personnel specifically to seek out intoxicated drivers or distracted drivers, or to conduct pedestrian safety

FEEDING HUNGRY NEIGHBORS FOR OLDER AMERICANS

enforcement operations,” he said.

The grant funds are provided to LCPD by the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact.

Pedestrian safety LCPD has conducted various pedestrian traffic safety operations along busy Highway 101 to increase driver awareness of the various crosswalk areas.

“Most of the marked and unmarked crosswalks are concerning due the heavy traffic and the fact that many drivers are in a hurry and/or are not paying attention to their driving or the road,” Winn said.

“Drivers are required to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk, but it is also incumbent on the pedestrians, for their own safety, to pay attention and watch traffic as they are crossing to make sure they are seen and the traffic is stopping.”

Over the next few months, LCPD will be conducting additional pedestrian safety operations.

“We will be utilizing traffic safety grant funds for those operations and announcements of when and where the operations will occur will be sent out to media sources prior to the operation occurring,” Winn said. “In addition, signage advising of the operation is posted before and during the operation in the area where the operation is occurring.”

Winn said overall, the main traffic advisory to the public is that everyone’s safety is LCPD’s top concern and top priority.

“We would ask all drivers to remain alert while driving and to slow down and pay attention to traffic and to watch for pedestrians,” Winn said. “We recommend they expect delays in traffic and be courteous and have patience. The members of the Lincoln City Police Department are committed to continuing our efforts to improve traffic safety for our citizens and visitors alike.”

Oregon From page 1 Pat Allen said Oregonians who have been vaccinated can now move forward.

“The data clearly shows if you are fully vaccinated you can put the pandemic behind you and you’ll have peace of mind if you are exposed to someone who has COVID, you won’t have to be quarantined,” he said.

While Allen said he believes that the state can make the June 30 target date of 70% vaccination, but it is going to take a lot of hard work to get there, “There are really two pandemics, not one,” he said. “One is dying out among people who are vaccinated, the other is one that still raging among those who are not vaccinated.”

Career Tech Success from the eyes of a parent ELONKA KIRKENDAL

I feel compelled to share this really amazing little success story.

I say this because I feel like it’s the best parenting I’ve ever done.

My daughter left the eighth grade with five F’s from Taft junior high. I spent that whole summer stressing, not understanding how I was going to get this little girl through high school-even when she understood that credits were imperative to being able to advance. With the way that the eighth grade had gone I was fairly certain we weren’t going to make it through the ninth grade. Then I started my job at Oceanlake Elementary doing admin, just before school was starting I had a conversation with another administrative parent and she started to tell me about Career Tech and how her son who had been at risk & struggling was

graduating, she was so proud of him. Mind you, I had heard of Career Tech but in my antiquated brain it was the “alternative high school” where they would send the pregnant girls or the kids with multicolored hair and attitude problems in the 90s. The stigma, I didn’t want my kid going to an alternative high school with what I believed would be “alternative students”. However, after that conversation I called Career Tech and I spoke with Donna (so helpful) and she told me that we were down to the wire and there was only a couple spots left but that she was going to need to write a significant essay and also have letters of reference speaking to her character. I was so impressed with the idea that she had to meet a benchmark to get into the school that right away what I

In addition to our outdoor field trips, using a taxonomic key, students will be required to collect, identify and preserve a collection of plants found in our local area or throughout the state.

thought I knew about “alternative high schools” was falling to the wayside. We scrambled to get her essays and references so that she could attend. If you’re not familiar, Career Tech is a high school on the top floor of the Lincoln City library, it’s such an enamoring little place, their mascot is even a student drawn Dragon! We got her enrolled and everything has really been smooth, we ran into some transportation issues early on because the district doesn’t support transportation to that particular school, and they should.

But we made it work, and when I say it worked, it worked in a really magnificent way! My daughter was learning how to put together and take apart drones and started writing a book- (that people enjoyed) She had been assessed to the point she was out of grade level for so

many things that we would’ve never understood or known about her- Had I continued to force a square peg in a round hole, and I have literally probably called her, “a square peg in a round hole” in reference to Career Tech 50 times over the past few years explaining to people what a life-changing experience that was. What was going to be torturous and so hard at Taft High became effortless and embracing at Career Tech.

The communication was strong, the expectation was firm and as a direct result my 17-year-old daughter is graduating as a junior. This school deserves way more appreciation and value. For example, when I went to do her senior pictures locally they were unfamiliar with this high school. This school breeds really smart kids, the same way every school does. They are graduating

four kids on June 4th, my daughter happens to be one of them. The truth of it is, is that it’s four kids who probably wouldn’t have graduated from a traditional high school and that alone is a success story.

I am emotional as I empty nest my house going forward, but I’m also emotional because this is an accomplishment that I think she wouldn’t have achieved had this school not been an option. I will always champion Career Tech, and I will tell you if you have a student that is a square peg in around hole, there is a place where they fit!!! Our community should make sure that that Career Tech is supported in LCSD so that more kids can take it advantage of it!

Trust me- one day you might need an “alternative” option, and you’ll wish you had Career Tech High School.

OCCC holds in person, drive-up event CHERI BRUBAKER Guest Contributor

In an effort to ensure student, staff and guest health and safety, but still holding an in-person graduation ceremony, Oregon Coast Community College will be holding its first “Carmencement.”

Graduates will drive into the OCCC Newport campus parking lot before the ceremony at 6 p.m. Friday, June 3. Guests are to remain in the vehicle as the student steps out of the car and is escorted to the podium. Graduates will receive their diploma cover from the college president and other dignitaries.

Graduates may then step inside the campus for a professional photo before returning to their vehicles.

Students and families are invited to park in designated

areas of the parking lot, get out of their cars and celebrate together.

Last June, the pandemic prevented us from even seeing our graduates in person, and the entire ceremony was virtual, said Dr. Birgittte Ryslinge, OCCC president.

“While we’d prefer to gather in one big room to celebrate, I’m so happy I’ll be able to see our graduates face to face, rather than just through a screen.

One car per graduate is permitted, however, the event will be streamed on Zoom.

Earlier the same day, OCCC’s graduating class of nurses will celebrate th e traditional pinning ceremony, also outdoors at the Newport campus.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN ACTIVITIES and SOURCES OF FINANCING * Lincoln City continues to be solid both financially and in our ability to deliver services. No new taxes or significant fee increases are proposed in the FY2021-22 budget, and no new major revenue sources are anticipated, except for a 4% increase in water rates and a 4% increase in sewer rates. Expenditures in the General fund are approved at a 8.7% decrease over the current year budget. The decrease is largely due to moving the Recreation Center department, which is currently in the General fund, to the Parks and Recreation fund for FY2021-22. This budget continues to fund one-time projects from General fund resources of approximately $1 million, which is approved as follows: (1) Purchase of additional two police vehicles (carryover from prior year) $155,750, (2) additional funding for economic development $437,000, (3) additional transfer from General fund to the Parks and Recreation fund of $219,873 to cover reduced revenues from the Community Center due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and (4) purchase AVTEC equipment for radio network expansion $110,000. This budget also includes moving expenditures currently in the 2000 Urban Renewal Agency General fund to the City's General fund (Economic Development department). In total the City expects to end FY2021-22 with about $13.5 million in fund balances, reserves, and contingencies. This represents about 26.5% of all expenditures, exclusive of interfund transfers.

Encourage legislators to say no to HB 2362 As local health care leaders, we urge you to join with us in asking our state legislators to vote no on HB 2362 as it is currently proposed.

This measure would further regulate health care in Oregon, adding unnecessary administrative burden and cost to health care.

Supporters say they want

to protect health care access and services. However, HB 2362 could actually delay care and prevent improvements to health care for all Oregonians. This sweeping bill has not had the stakeholder engagement it deserves given the significant change it would bring to the daily operations of

health care.

Oregon has a rich and successful history of doing things the “Oregon Way.” However, this proposal does not take into consideration Oregon-based data, nor does it recognize policies the state already has adopted to address cost and access to services. The

national data shared by the proponents do not reflect outcomes from partnerships here in Oregon, where these kinds of affiliations have been successful. In our own region, we have seen the value of these partnerships in our successful affiliation with hospitals and clinicians in Lincoln City,

Newport, Albany and Lebanon. These affiliations have preserved vital local services and helped to support and grow family wage jobs and the local economy.

Please join us in encouraging our legislators to say no to HB 2362.

Merkley, Wyden Announce Over $39 Million in Federal Funds to Boost Substance Abuse Treatment and Prevention, Mental Health Services In Oregon Oregon’s U.S. Senators Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden announced today that $39.3 million in American Rescue Plan funding is headed to Oregon to support substance abuse treatment and prevention programming, and to strengthen mental health services for Oregonians.

The coronavirus crisis has presented mental health challenges in every community in Oregon—in both rural and urban areas, and among children, young people and seniors.

“The devastation and hardship of this past year have been difficult

for all of us,” said Merkley. “Between losing family members and loved ones, to grappling with economic challenges and isolation, so many Oregonians are in need of extra support right now. I’m gratified that this funding will help put that support within reach, and I will continue to do all that I can to secure the resources we need to ensure that all mental and physical health needs of our communities are being met.”

“Mental health and substance abuse challenges for Oregonians throughout our state have only been magnified by this pandemic and its

devastating fallout on connections with family, friends and community,” Wyden said. “I’m glad the American Rescue Plan contains this help for Oregon, and I’ll keep battling to secure similar resources to treat mental health and substance abuse with the same focus as physical health.”

Of the funding, $16.7 million is being allocated by the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant program, which aims to help plan, implement, and evaluate activities that prevent and treat substance abuse—especially among

pregnant women and intravenous drug users—and provides early intervention services for Americans living with HIV/AIDS, as well as tuberculosis services.

The remaining $22.6 million is coming to Oregon through the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant program, which targets adults with serious mental illness and children with serious emotional disturbances.

The funds were authorized by the American Rescue Plan, which Merkley and Wyden helped pass in March 2021.

North Lincoln Hospital Foundation executive director named After an extensive search and interview process, Natalie Schaefer, EdD, has been selected to serve as the executive director of the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation beginning June 1.

Schaefer’s career spans K-12 education, higher education, nonprofit administration, real estate, corporate philanthropy and park interpretation. She is a seasoned fundraiser with more than 25 years of philanthropic experience working with individuals and families, corporations, foundations and governmental entities.

A native of northern California, she and her husband, Michael, have recently relocated to their “forever home” in Depoe Bay. “Two elders have joined us on this move, my mom and my husband’s aunt, so the

prospect of quality health care was paramount to my decision to accept this position, and the new Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital was a huge selling point,” Schaefer said. “I am thrilled to have been offered the opportunity to make a lasting influence in our new community through Samaritan Health Services. I can’t wait to begin!”

As executive director of the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation, she will collaborate with local foundation board members, her Samaritan Foundations colleagues, and community members in north Lincoln County with a singular goal: promoting excellence in health care by supporting Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital and initiatives for the health and well-being of the community through

charitable giving.

A major project underway currently is raising funds to provide a new Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) unit directly adjacent to the emergency department of the new hospital, replacing an older unit.

The North Lincoln Hospital Foundation was founded in 1983.

Since then, generous community partners have helped to purchase medical equipment for the hospital, enhance program services, provide financial support for patient and community wellness programs, and help low-income individuals obtain medical care.

Oregon facing dangerous wildfire season JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Oregon is moving into a more dangerous and more intense wildfire season complicated by the state’s continued and deepening drought.

That is the overall assessment presented during a media briefing Thursday afternoon, June 3, conducted by Gov. Kate Brown’s office that included a number of state agency representatives.

“We are seeing longer duration and more complex fires,” Oregon State Fire Marshal Mariana RuizTemple said. “We are looking at fires in a different way this year and there is significant concern of the fires we are seeing and where these fires are.”

Much of Oregon is facing abnormal drought conditions, according to Oregon Department of Forestry Fire Protection Chief Doug Grafe.

“Continued drought conditions persist and weather conditions are complicating the drought,” Grafe said. “Over the next three months temperatures are projected to be above normal and precipitation below normal through August and September.”

The official May-June-July forecast from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Climate Prediction Center shows higher chances of above-normal temperatures and below-normal

precipitation for most of the region, which indicates that drought conditions are likely to get worse in the coming months.

The Significant Wildland Fire Potential Outlook shows higher chances of wildfire potential east of the Cascade crest throughout Oregon and in southwest Washington by June and July, according to NOAA. According to the latest water outlook report issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service, nearly all reservoirs in the Klamath Basin are storing less than 50% capacity, and basin streamflows are expected to run between 8% to 49% through the summer.

In addition to the worsening impacts already being felt across the region, there is also the potential for dry conditions to impact drinking water, endangered species and wetland ecosystems, and fire danger, the NOAA report states.

Grafe said Oregon has ready experienced 300 fires this year which is well above normal.

Comparing the devastating wildfires that spread across the state last year, Grafe state the 2020 event was an aliment of natural forces that was unprecedented.

“Any weather event that will be close to that, such as dry lightning, will put us at significant risk,” he said.

Oregon Office of Emergency Management Direc-

tor Andrew Phelps said the state is quickly ramping up its coordinated efforts for the wildfire season, which includes coordinated responses for transportation, mass care, health and medical, sheltering, law enforcement and military support.

The state has also worked with Oregon counties providing mass communication systems to alert the public of emergencies, such as wildfires, and to help coordinate survival efforts.

But when questioned by a reporter about the apparent ineffectiveness of such a mass communication system in Jackson County, Phelps acknowledged that no system is perfect.

“These systems rely on humans and mechanical systems,” he said. “Every county needs to take that responsibility seriously and make sure there staff are trained for such systems.”

Phelps said every Oregoninan can take steps now to reduce the wildfire risks.

“I am asking every Oregonian to plan being a disaster survivor,” he said.

“Disasters are inevitable but there are things that we can do to reduce our individual risks, our families risks and the risks to our communities.”

Using a graphic during the Zoom media briefing, Phelps outlined a plan to be ready.

Reduce Risk • Prevention • Prepare Your Home • Know Before You Go Prepare

The 2020 Oregon wildfires swept though entire communities leaving a wide path of devastation and destruction.

• Have a plan and practice • Pack your go-bag • Know how and where to evacuate Stay Informed • Sign up for alerts • Follow trusted social media accounts • Community resources Both Grafe and RuizTemple agreed that the Oregon Public Utility Commission’s (PUC) new

temporary rules allowing utilities to switch off power during wildfires to protect the public and property are important.

“The power companies are engaging more with the state’s coordination system and the decision to turn off power is the responsibility of the power companies,” Grafe said.

“I see that (the PUC rules) as a good move-

ment,” Ruiz-Temple said.

“Senate Bill 762 speaks specially to the PUC response and how they engage. There needs to be a process.”

Ruiz-Temple said the state has made investments in responses, risk reductions and resilience, including implementing the governor’s wildfire council’s recommendations and 2021 legislation.

Congressional Art Contest winners announced This Spring Taft artists finished 2nd and 4th in Oregon’s statewide Congressional Art Competition.

Both entries are self-portraits.

Kevin Acosta--Lopez’s piece, ‘Kevin’ received 4th and Tyler Perus’ Cocoon’ received 2nd.

Kevin took a photograph of himself and broke it down digitally into components. He then lasercut those pieces and set them into concrete, The grey of the concrete and its rigidity were used to show the feeling of being trapped in a screen this year. Tyler’s self

portrait is a detailed drawing in graphite. As Tyler explains, “This is a self- portrait of me showing half of me wrapped in medical masks.

This art piece is representing the feeling of Senior year taken away due to a global pandemic’.

Tyler’s piece will travel to Washington D.C. where it will be on display in our Congressman’s Office.

Kevin’s piece will be on display in Oregon City’s office.

The contest was cancelled last year and the Capitol was thrilled with the entries this year. Mary

Ann said they were fighting over where they would be on display.

In the images you see Kevin with his piece, a photo of Tyler, a photo of Tyler’s piece, and May Ann Smith from the State Capitol with her grandson excited to take the pieces to Salem.

Kevin has been a student in my Digital Design classes and Tyler Perus in Graphic Design classes, though he stayed home this last year. Both are Seniors.

Lincoln City Announces Return of 4th of July Fireworks The City of Lincoln City announces the return of 4th of July fireworks over Siletz Bay. 2021 marks the 66th year since the first Taft fireworks show was put on in 1955 by the Taft & DeLake Fire Department. The show has been conducted uninterrupted ever since with the exception of 2020 when it was canceled because of concern over COVID-19.

“We are happy to see a long-standing Lincoln City tradition return after

a year’s hiatus.” said Lila Bradley, City Manager. “It’s a nice way celebrate as we begin to return to normal with an event that takes advantage of our seven miles of beach and fresh ocean air.”

Lincoln City is also special when it comes to the 4th of July because it actually offers two fireworks shows. There are fireworks over Devils Lake on July 3rd sponsored by the Devils Lake Neighborhood Association, plus the

City-sponsored show over Siletz Bay the next night.

Both shows start at dusk. Best viewing for the show over Devils Lake (if you don’t have a boat) is from Regatta Park or Devils Lake State Park. Taft Beach is the place to be for the show on the 4th.

“I’m pleased that our residents and guests will be able to have a safe and spectacular 4th of July weekend.” said Susan Wahlke, Mayor of Lincoln City. “Please note, however,

Oregon Parks & Recreation does not allow any fireworks on the beach and we will have extra police patrols on the lookout for dangerous illegal fireworks.

With two, big professional fireworks shows, there is no reason to bring your own.”

4th of July Fireworks over Siletz Bay is one of many safe summer events in Lincoln City. See https:// www.oregoncoast.org/ events/ for more events and updates.
