County to consider grant allocations for nonprofits HILARY DORSEY Editor

L

incoln County will consider nonprofit social service grant allocations at a board of commissioners meeting Wednesday, July 13. The commissioners discussed the proposed allocations for funding for various community nonprofits during a meeting Wednesday, July 6.

The Nonprofit Social Service Agency Allocation Review Committee made recommendations to the county for funding awards of a total of $210,000.

A software takes all of the individual suggestions of funds from each member of the committee and comes up with an average recommendation.

“Twenty-nine recipients, $210,000,” Commission Chair Claire Hall said. “I believe that’s a record number of recipients.”

Additional groups were added this year.

“This year, we had a consultant

sort of review the whole organizational structure of the program, made some recommendations for changes to the process and further issues to be evaluated in the future,” Hall said.

Commissioner Doug Hunt said the source of the money comes from the county’s general fund. He was interested in encouraging organizations to look for supplemental sources of funds.

The committee would have to increase staff to do more fundraising.

This is something that would need to be looked into more.

“I know it takes about two evenings of your time to go through the process,” Hunt said. “The efforts of – I believe there are five members on the committee – are appreciated.”

The commissioners will bring back the proposed grant allocations for consideration Wednesday, July 13. Awards will be announced Friday, July 15.

Average recommendations for

grant allocations proposed include: $10,000 to Coastal Support Services; $15,800 to Food Share of Lincoln County; $8,500 to Neighbors For Kids; $7,400 to North End Senior Solutions; $1,900 to Beach Buddies; $8,040 to Yachats Youth and Family Activities Program; $3,700 to Centro de Ayuda; $9,800 to Toledo Food Share Pantry; 4,900 to Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon; $2,600 to Coastal Range Food Bank, Inc; $7,200 to Hearts With A Mission; $11,300 to Lincoln County Long-Term Recovery Group; $2,800 to Central Coast Humane Society; $13,200 to Samaritan House Inc.; $8,400 to Head Start in Lincoln County; $8,800 to Yachats Community Presbyterian Church; $6,000 to Partnership Against Alcohol & Drug Abuse; $5,700 to Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County; $4,160 to Yachats Food Pantry; $5,700 to The Salvation Army Newport Corps; $10,100 to CASA of Lincoln County;

$9,700 to Legal Aid Services of Oregon, Lincoln County Office; $6,000 to Bright Horizons Therapeutic Riding Center; $9,400 to Grace Wins Haven; $5,000 to OCWSSF, Senior Corps of Lincoln County; $6,100 to Children’s

Advocacy Center of Lincoln County; $9,100 to OCWSSF, Meals on Wheels; and $6,400 to Lincoln Community Dispute Resolution.

‘For the Seventh Generation’ pano-mural returns to the cultural center

F

rom July 13-17, you can take an amazing journey: start walking in Tijuana and end up on the Canadian border, all on the same day in Lincoln City. You can enjoy this experience – the Pacific Coast as seen through the eyes of hundreds of artists – through an outdoor art installation called “For the Seventh Generation.” This ½ mile long panomural will be on display outside at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City, starting on Wednesday, July 13. The residence will also feature concerts, workshops, music and more, ending on Sunday, July 17.

“For the Seventh Generation: A Community of Coastal Watchers” is a long-term project first envisioned two decades ago. The project’s goal is to create a system of ocean observers, “so that any untoward action on the ocean or its accompanying landscape will not go unnoticed.” Painters in California, Oregon and Washington are invited to each choose a mile, to revisit and paint each year. These works are added to the panomural, which grows and changes each year.

This is the second year that the Cultural Center has hosted the “For the Seventh Generation” mural, in partnership with John Daniel Teply Gallery & Atelier. Local painters who have joined the effort by contributing paintings of Oregon Coast landscapes include Jill Perry Townsend, Katia Kyte, Dee Vadnais, Jess Carlock and Laura Wilson.

July 13-17 will be a busy, art-filled time at the Cultural Center. In addition to the “For the Seventh Generation” mural installation and events, visitors are invited to tour the current exhibits in the P.J. Chessman Gallery, the Fiber Arts Studio Gallery and the Hallway Gallery, all located within the center (aka the historic Delake School). You can even combine your trip to see the mural with one of two ticketed events: a jazz album release celebration with the Dmitri Matheny Group on Wednesday and the Cascade Head Biosphere Reserve art workshop on Sunday.

All events listed below are free, unless indicated with *

ABOUT “For the Seventh Generation”

“To be renewed annually, this process work gives the artist the opportunity to intellectually and emotionally connect with the land and to take the role of both sentinel and chronicler of a specific ocean location,” said project leader John Teply.

“Perhaps each of us has a favorite spot along the coast.

Looking out over it, we may find ourselves asking, ‘Will it survive’?” he said. “The ocean is continually under threat.

Pollution, coastal development and over-fishing all tax the health of its finite system. Without our strong environmental conscience and a voice to express it, threats to the ocean will be left unchallenged and its health subject to the whims and manipulations of politics and industry. This project, extending through the 21st century, provides such a voice.”

When you visit the “For the Seventh Generation” panomural, you can start your walk in Tijuana, passing by the Huntington Beach Pier, San Francisco Bay, Cascade Head, Haystack Rock, Astoria Bridge, and Puget Sound before ending your trek with a view of the Peace Arch on the Canadian border.

The resulting free-standing pano-mural, made up of landscape paintings that are 2 feet by 4 feet, is getting longer every year. This summer, while on display outdoors at the Cultural Center, it will stretch nearly ½ mile in length, and will be displayed on fencing installed throughout the LCCC lawn. A collection of other large landscapes, those which have not been treated to withstand the elements, will be exhibited inside in the LCCC’s Hallway Gallery.

“For the Seventh Generation” pano-mural will be open to the public from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, July 13-15, and from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday, July 16 and 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, July 17.

incoln County approved during a board of commissioners meeting Wednesday, July 6, the selection of the Rede Group for a climate and health assessment and adaptation plan. The project came about through some of the requirements from public health’s work plan for this biennium.

A focus of public health is to start looking at the type of climate advance that can happen in the community and how it will impact the health of the population.

Public Health Director Florence Pourtal said the work will be conducted at a regional level, partnering with Benton County. There will be development of an adaption plan after the assessment is complete.

“We have two main deadlines,” Pourtal said. “One is by the end of December of 2022, we want the climate and health assessment to be done. From January to June of 2023, we will work on the climate adaption plan and have the final product by the end of June 2023.”

The work is led by community partners, Pourtal added. There will be key interviews or focus groups to gather data on the impact of climate events on our health.

“I’m glad to see this activity,” Commissioner Doug Hunt said. “I think it’s important to recognize that climate does have an impact on our health.”

Hunt said this will give a framework with which to address these issues.

“This work is one of the things we’ve provided ARPA stimulus money to help pay for,” Commission Chair Claire Hall said. “I think it’s a very wise use of these funds.”

Jerry Herbage, assistant county counsel, said the amount requested is $99,000. It will be funded by the Oregon Health Authority. A contract will be brought back the commissioners on July 13 for consideration.

The commissioners approved the selection.

North Lincoln Sanitary Service presents rate increase, report HILARY DORSEY Editor

North Lincoln Sanitary Service presented a rate review report to the Depoe Bay City Council Tuesday, July 5. This is an annual rate review.

North Lincoln Sanitary Service owner Tina French updated the council on what is new for garbage and recycling, as well as the rate review. The service requested a rate increase of 17 percent to bring them back in the operating ratio.

“We by code operate within an operating ratio that’s a sliding scale between 85 and 91 percent,” French said. “When we fall outside of that range, we reset to 88 percent.”

The sanitary service did not come to the council for a rate review last year because of the new composting program.

Normally, the sanitary service does a Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase. Significant increases to the service’s expenses include labor, as the minimum wage increase pushed up the service’s wages up five percent; disposal, with River Bend landfill closing in Yamhill County, Coffin Butte landfill has higher rates; and fuel, as solid waste removal trucks are fuel intensive.

French said she anticipates rate increases over the

next decade.

When the compost program was passed, North Lincoln Sanitary Service gave options for a universal rate increase.

Since it was a residential only program, it was decided that it would be a rate increase for residents only.

Commercial rates are less because they do not have mixed compost. The compost program is different from anything the sanitary service has done because it is residential customers only.

“Cities have liked to keep residential rates as low as possible, so they spread it across to commercial customers as well,” French said. “This did not go that way.”

French said Lincoln City is the only city in the county that requires service for garbage.

The more people who have garbage service, the more the cost is spread out, French added.

North Lincoln Sanitary Service is a family-owned business and has been in business for 56 years. Their recycling has been the same since 2018. All mixed recycling collected stays domestic in the U.S. “The fact that it’s all staying within our borders is a huge win,” French said.

There was a large bill passed that added things like computers, paint and mattresses for recycling. North

Lincoln Sanitary Service has a full-service recycling center in Lincoln City.

The sanitary service has collected almost 200,000 tons of mixed compost in the first year, French added. There is 70 percent participation in the program from residential users.

“Items that we accept at the recycling center [is] constantly expanding,” French said.

There was a recent garbage truck fire in Lincoln City. This is the third fire in a year. The sanitary service is now able to recycle lithium-ion batteries.

“Lithium-ion batteries are a huge, huge problem in the solid waste industry,” French said.

“A lithium-ion battery is a flat, nickel-sized battery. If you smash it, there is a small membrane in there and if that gets punctured, it combusts immediately.”

The public is asked not to throw these batteries in the trash but to recycle them with the recycling center.

French said there is a new app called North Lincoln Sanitary. The app will tell you what to do with specific items.

The recycling center is located at 1726 SE Hwy 101 in Lincoln City. For more information, visit http://www. northlincolnsanitary.com/ Send comments to: newsguardeditor@ countrymedia.net

Cascade Head Biosphere to host second annual Art on the Beach The Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative (CHBC) is pleased to announce their second annual ‘Art on the Beach’ weekend, a three-day event running July 16-18. The summer event brings together community science and artistic expression to raise awareness regarding the interdependence of humans on the oceans as well as the impacts of climate change on our coastal communities and environment.

With the help of partners Chinook Winds Casino Resort, The Elakha Alliance, community volunteers, and visiting guest artist Josie Iselin, this year’s events highlight kelp forests, sea otters, and the crucial role they play in marine ecosystems.

This year, attendees and volunteers can look forward to a wider range of activities to participate in, from sea star monitoring to sand art raking a 100-yard long Bull Kelp and Sea Otter design.

“Sand is the perfect canvas for everyone to be able to enjoy large scale art that illuminates the beauty and function of the ocean and how its amazing creatures are related to each of our lives,” said Duncan Berry, CHBC co-director and co-founder.

Sea Star monitoring will occur during the extreme low tide at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 16, at the tidepools at the far north end of Lincoln City’s Roads End beach. Scientists and volunteers will measure how quickly Ochre sea stars are rebounding after a wasting disease swept through their ranks. Look for the informational tables to learn more and how you can help with the CHBC “Wrack Line”, another community science research project.

The first sand raking event will take place from 9:30 a.m. to noon Sunday, July 17, on the beach in front of the Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

Entrance to Art on the Beach is free.

CHBC is proud to partner with Josie Iselin, a renowned San Francisco based artist and seaweed expert, as well as the Elakha Alliance, which is a nonprofit working to reintroduce sea otters back to their native waters, in order to create a more robust and resilient marine ecosystem.

“Art is an excellent medium to instill a sense of appreciation for the natural world around us. We’re thrilled to help promote ocean conservation through this creative project with the Cascade Head Biosphere Collaborative,” said Chanel Hason, director of Outreach and Community Relations

for the Elakha Alliance.

Later that day, the collaborative will offer a two hour “Forests of the Sea” seaweed printing and educational workshop at the Lincoln City Cultural Center from 2:30-4:30 p.m. Visiting San Francisco artist and seaweed expert will be teaching cyanotype / solar printing and Duncan Berry will be offering Gyotaku technique of printing seaweeds and the creatures that inhabit the near shore including Octopus, Rock Fish, etc. Iselin is known for her most recent publication, “The Curious World of Seaweed (2019),” which chronicles both the artistic and biological nature of seaweed and Nature calls “a mesmerizing swim through a liminal world.”

This Gyotaku and Solar Print workshop is $60/ticket. Learn more at CascadeHead.org/events/underwaterforests.

On Sunday evening, the CHBC and their partners at Oregon State University’s Marine Studies Initiative and the Elakha Alliance will be hosting an “Art and Science” presentation from 6:30-8 p.m. at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. This will be an immersion into the amazing undersea world of the kelp forests and the effort of re-introducing sea otter that are so key to their long-term health. This event is free and open to the public.

Lastly, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Monday, July 18, the artists and rakers will return to the beach in front of the casino to depict giant Ochre sea stars marching down the beach.

Lincoln County prosecutor receives 2022 National Traffic Safety Award

The National Association of Prosecutor Coordinators (NAPC) has selected Lynn Howard, chief deputy district attorney for the Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office as the recipient of its 2022 National Traffic Safety Prosecutor of the Year Award. NAPC, in cooperation with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), presents this annual award to an outstanding prosecutor who has worked tirelessly to prosecute impaired driving and vehicular homicide cases.

Howard began her career as a civil attorney in California in 1991. She later decided to use her undergraduate science degree to enter the field of forensic sciences. Howard served as a forensic scientist in California for a time and joined the Oregon State Police Crime Lab in 2005. In 2016, she brought her passion for science and the law to the Lincoln County District Attorney’s Office where she currently serves as the Chief Deputy District Attorney. In that capacity she not only handles a large case load, she assigns all the custody cases, meets with the prosecutors in the office once a week to go over their case load, and mentors and advises prosecutors on their cases.

“I became acquainted with Lynn Howard in my capacity as Oregon’s Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutor while she was at the crime lab,” said Deena Ryerson, Sr. Assistant Attorney General with the Oregon Department of Justice, who nominated Howard for the award. “In addition to her knowledge of toxicology she has always had a unique ability to recognize legal issues and how to present material to a jury.”

In addition to her prosecution duties, Howard regularly educates prosecutors and local law enforcement on the law and provides guidance on how to properly investigate DUII cases. In 2021, she trained all law enforcement agencies in Lincoln County

about Measure 110 and the potential impact it has on DUII cases. She was recognized as the 2018 DUII Prosecutor of the Year by the Oregon MultiDisciplinary Training Task Force and currently serves as a member of the Governor’s Advisory Committee on DUII since being appointed by Governor Kate Brown in 2019.

“Lynn mentors [Deputy District Attorneys] and teaches them how to effectively prosecute DUIIs as well as crash cases,” said Lincoln County District Attorney Lanee Danforth.

“The DDAs Lynn works with quickly become passionate about the work and it’s been fun to watch the positive impact she has on them.”

Howard makes a difference not only in her office, but throughout her community as well. From the complex serious vehicular cases she prepares to her participation in awareness events such as Walk Like MADD, Howard shows her compassion for victims and their families. Her passion for justice coupled with her knowledge and experience when it comes to DUII law is unmatched, and NAPC is proud to recognize Ms. Lynn Howard as the 2022 National Traffic Safety Prosecutor of the Year.

GUEST COLUMN

NW Natural reminds residents to call 811 before digging and it’s free for all to use JAKE GILBERTSON, DAMAGE PREVENTION SPECIALIST, NW Natural

Summer is here and many Northwest homeowners and contractors are undertaking a higher volume of outdoor digging or excavation projects.

NW Natural would like to take this opportunity to emphasize the importance of calling 811 to locate underground utility lines at least two business days ahead of starting any project that involves digging. It’s the law, it’s free, and it’s the only way to know for sure where underground utilities lie on a property.

Oregon homeowners must call 811 to request utility location service if they are working on their own property and plan to dig 12 inches or more into the ground. (All contractors are required to call 811, regardless of depth.) This is especially important when considering natural gas lines, which can be installed no more than 18 inches deep.

NW Natural last year responded to 11 incidents in Lincoln County where natural gas lines were encountered unexpectedly or damaged.

This was among a total of 639 cases in NW Natural’s Oregon and Southwest Washington territory, including more than 500 that involved broken lines with escaping natural gas.

About 40% of damages to NW Natural utility lines

are a result of a homeowner or contractor’s failure to call 811. Those found liable for damaging a utility line can face costly repairs and fines.

Damage to underground utility lines is preventable.

Along with calling 811, the process of requesting a locate is easier than ever with the Online Locate Request tool.

This is a creation of the Oregon Utility Notification Center, a state agency responsible for protecting excavators, the public, and underground utilities from damages, and is available at: https://digsafelyoregon.com/ resources/locate-requests/ NW Natural also has a team of employees who are dedicated to educating contractors and residents alike in damage prevention efforts. With the launch of our formal damage prevention program in 2006, we have reduced damages by about 70% over the past 15 years. Last year, NW Natural became the first Oregonbased gas distribution utility to earn a Gold Shovel Stand Certification for its commitment to continuous damage prevention improvement.

Gold Shovel Association is a national nonprofit focused on improving safety by providing meaningful damage prevention certifications and standardized performance metrics.

Still, there is plenty of work to do. A recent national public opinion survey of

homeowners conducted by Common Ground Alliance, a national partnership of utility providers, revealed 58% of U.S. homeowners plan to complete a home improvement project involving digging in the next 12 months. Of that figure, 49% of them will unknowingly take a risk by not contacting 811 beforehand.

The cost of this failure is enormous. The most recent Common Ground Alliance Damage Information Reporting Tool (DIRT) analysis, released in 2020, found that in 2019 over $30 billion in damage was caused to utility infrastructure across the U.S. by wayward excavation work. Failure to request location service was identified as the single biggest cause of damage incidents. The report also revealed that roughly 87,000 damage incidents in the U.S. involved natural gas lines, second only to telecommunications facilities.

If all else fails, report damages immediately by calling NW Natural at 800882-3377. No damage is too small to report, including gouges, scrapes and dents. If you smell natural gas while you’re digging, leave the area and then call 911 and NW Natural to report the leak.

The easiest and free way to avoid dig-related damage is to call 811 to request location service ahead of time. For more information, visit https:// www.nwnatural.com/safety/ call-before-you-dig.

Monkeypox slowly moving through Oregon

BY DAVID RUPKALVIS The News Guard

As Monkeypox continues to slowly move through the United States, including cases in Oregon, the Oregon Health Authority is using a threepronged approach to reach out to those at greatest risk.

Dr. Tim Menza, senior health adviser for the hMPXV response at the OHA Public Health Division, said there has been one confirmed case in Oregon, with five presumptive cases.

Three of those presumptive cases were announced Wednesday, coming from Multnomah, Washington and Lane counties.

Menza said the outbreak worldwide has seen 7,243 cases in 52 countries. In the U.S., there has been 605 cases in 34 states.

While hPMXV can be passed to anyone, the current outbreak is having a greater impact on the LGBTQ community.

“Typically, HMPXV has an incubation of six to 13 days, but can be s long as 21 days,” Menza said. “It starts with fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes and exhaustion. The rash may appear at the same time or five days later. The rash can be painful or itchy and moves through predictable stages. The illness lasts two to four weeks.”

The virus has a fatality rate of 1 to 3 percent.

That’s the typical virus. But in the current outbreak, things are different, Menza said.

“In the current outbreak, the presentation is a little atypical,” he said.

“The initial flu-like symptoms can occur but its sometimes very mild or not present. The location, appearance and duration of rash are also atypical in that the rash is presenting more diffusely. The rash can be subtle and may move through typical stages more quickly.”

Because the symptoms are generally milder, it creates a little more

risk because people may ignore the symptoms and not seek care. Many that do, go to outpatient clinics. Menza said doctors also may not recognize the symptoms because they vary from the norm. Monkeypox is also frequently confused with other sexually-transmitted diseases such as syphillis and herpes. hMPXV is transmitted during direct, close, personal skin-to-skin contact with a person with symptoms.

In addition, contact with towels, clothing, bedding or other objects used by a person with the virus can also transmit the virus. Additionally, hMPXV can be transmitted through large respiratory droplets or oral fluids via prolonged face-to-face contact. These types of contact may occur during activities such as sex, cuddling, massage, kissing, talking closely or caring for someone with hMPXV. Menza urged those at risk, especially in the LGBTQ community, to consider the risk when deciding what activities to do.

“We can think about risk on a spectrum,” he said. “For example, events like sporting events or concerts, where people are more likely to be fully clothed and unlikely to have skinto-skin contact, are safer, compared to clubs and parties where people are wearing minimal clothing and there is often skin-to-skin contact or spaces like saunas, bathhouses or sex clubs, where there is minimal to no clothing and often sexual contact.”

Menza said the cases, confirmed and presumed, in Oregon were originally associated with travel. But recent cases do not have travel as a concern, indicating the virus is starting to spread within the community.

He said the average person with hPMXV will transmit the virus to two others. When compared to COVID-19, where the Omicron virus was transmitted to eight others, the risk for community spread is much lower.

Menza said OHA is working on a

three-pronged approach with the virus.

Information OHA has released guidance and testing procedures to healthcare providers. It is working with community based organizations to present information, mostly to the LGBTQ community. In the next week, OHA will also establish a provider advisory group.

Testing

Menza said OHA will now allow providers to send specimens directly to the state lab without prior approval, which is a change from the previous rules. In addition, Labcorp will offer testing with turnaround time of one to three days. Other private labs are likely to start offering testing.

Prevention

There is a vaccine for hPMXV, but doses are limited and used only in

confirmed cases or close contacts with confirmed cases. The vaccine is effective both before and after someone is infected.

Menza said Oregon has 193 doses of the vaccine, with further federal allocation pending. With the limited supply of vaccine, OHA has focused of vaccinating confirmed partners of people with HPMXV. “When more vaccine becomes available, our goal is to offer vaccination to those at increased risk of exposure to hMPXV, including cisgender and transgender men who have sex with men and transgender women who have sex with men with more than one sex partner in the prior two weeks,” he said.

An anti-viral treatment is also available to those with confirmed cases, but there are only 25 in the state.

Menza urged those at risk to keep a close watch on their bodies. If they are sick, stay home and do not get too close to partners. If they see a rash, have a doctor check it out.

“If providers aren’t sure if they should send for HPMXV testing, we are here to offer guidance,” Menza said. “Local health authorities are also key resources.”

While most cases are mild, hMPXV disease can be severe, including hemorrhagic disease, severe rash over large areas of skin, infection of the central nervous system, eye infections or sepsis. Antiviral treatment is available for people with, or are at risk for, severe disease, including children younger than 8, pregnant people, people with compromised immune systems, people with atopic dermatitis or a blistering skin disease.

All five Samaritan hospitals recognized for exceptional stroke care All five Samaritan Health Services hospitals in Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties have earned recognition by the American Heart Association/ American Stroke Association for providing exceptional stroke care. The Get With The Guidelines-Stroke awards recognize commitment to providing the most appropriate stroke treatment following nationally recognized guidelines based on the latest scientific evidence.

“These awards represent a tremendous amount of teamwork among our staff and with

local emergency responders to provide coordinated stroke care to save brain tissue,” said Sarah Vincent, RN, coordinator with the Samaritan Stroke Program.

“Our greatest reward is serving our patients. That’s why we’re committed to turning treatment guidelines into lifelines.”

The Samaritan hospitals and awards received are: · Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center – Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award with Target: Stroke Honor Roll and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll.

· Samaritan Albany General Hospital – Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award. · Samaritan Lebanon Community Hospital – Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award with Target: Stroke Honor Roll and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. · Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital – Stroke Silver Plus Quality Achievement Award with Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll. · Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital – Stroke Gold Plus Quality

Achievement Award with Target: Stroke Honor Roll and Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll.

To qualify for the awards, hospitals must meet specific goals in comprehensive stroke care and meet quality measures developed to minimize the time between the patient’s arrival at the hospital and treatment with the clot-buster tissue plasminogen activator, or Tenecteplase.

If given in the first three hours after the start of stroke symptoms, the drug has been shown to significantly reduce the

effects of stroke and lessen the chance of permanent disability.

Target: Stroke Honor Roll is when a hospital achieves door-to-needle time within 60 minutes for at least 75% of applicable patients.

Target: Type 2 Diabetes Honor Roll aims to ensure patients with type 2 diabetes receive the most up-to-date, evidence-based care when hospitalized with a stroke. The award brings attention to this critical high-risk population.

Samaritan Albany General Hospital has been a Primary

Stroke Center since 2019, and Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center has been a Primary Stroke Center since 2012.

The Samaritan Stroke Services team of specialists work together from the beginning of a patient’s visit and follow their care throughout the patient’s time in the hospital. The team helps stop the stroke to reduce the patient’s disabilities from the stroke. For more information, call 541-768-6737, email SHSstrokeservices@ samhealth.org or visit samhealth.org/Stroke.

Firearms were recovered from the vehicle.

Corwin was taken into custody without incident and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail on charges of menacing, unlawful use of a weapon,

and recklessly endangering another person.

Corwin’s passenger, Melody Lorraine Lanier, also of Eddyville, was issued a citation and released for unlawful possession of a firearm.

State launches risk of foreclosure support campaign STAFF REPORT

A new website and awareness campaign are now in place to support struggling Oregon homeowners at risk of foreclosure.

Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS), the Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation (DFR), part of the Department of Consumer and Business Services, is partnering with Oregon Consumer Justice (OCJ) has launched www. oregonhomeownerhelp.org as a central hub for foreclosure prevention resources.

History

The mortgage foreclosure moratorium in Oregon expired in December 2021. With rising inflation, many households that are having trouble keeping up with living expenses may be at risk of missing a mortgage payment, according to OHCS Director of Homeownership Division Emese Perfecto, who added that some Oregonians are not aware there may be ways to avoid foreclosure.

“We want homeowners who have fallen behind or are at risk of missing a mortgage payment to know they may have options,” Perfecto said.

“It can be overwhelming to receive a letter from a mortgage company. You are not alone.

This website, which highlights certified housing counselors as a key resource, can help them find the best way to move forward.”

Take action

Perfecto said the emphasis of the awareness campaign is to direct homeowners who are worried about being able to make their mortgage payment, or who have received a foreclosure letter from their servicer, to do one of two things: • Call 211 to be put into contact with certified housing counselors at one of the many homeownership centers

throughout the state.

• Visit www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org for more information.

“Housing counselors can advocate on your behalf with your mortgage servicer,” Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services Andrew Stolfi said. “If you get a call or a letter from your mortgage servicer, contact a homeownership center right away. The earlier you reach out for help, the

more options you will have.”

Fraud protection

In addition to housing counseling services, the Oregon Attorney General’s Office Outreach and Education Coordinator Ellen M. Klem said the website can also help homeowners avoid falling victim to fraud and connect them with legal assistance.

“As the attention on foreclosures increases, so will the foreclosure-related scams. It’s

important for homeowners to be on the lookout and avoid falling victim,” Klem said.

“The new website and awareness campaign will provide Oregonians with the information they need to stay safe from fraud during this challenging time.”

If a homeowner has provided that information to a scammer and believes they are a victim of a scam, Klem said the homeowner should do the following: File a police report to document the crime for their

creditors. Make sure they get the report number and a copy.

• Report the theft to the Federal Trade Commission at 877-438-4338 (toll-free) or at www.ftc.gov.

• Call their creditors such as their bank or credit union, credit card company, cell phone provider and other utilities, and their health insurance provider.

• File a complaint with the Oregon Division of Financial Regulation or call 888-877-4894 (toll-free).

“We know that during the

subprime scandal, thousands of Oregonians were targeted by scammers with a disproportionate impact on communities of color,” OCJ Executive Director Jagjit Nagra said. “Many families were displaced and have yet to recover. We want to work hard to prevent people from losing their homes due to scams.”

For more information, visit www.oregonhomeownerhelp.org or call 211 to be connected to a housing counselor that serves your area.

LCSD Indian Education students travel to the U.S. capital When Secondary Director Majalise Tolan wanted to take graduating Title VI Indian Education students from Lincoln County School District to Washington, D.C., it seemed impossible.

“I was at the National Association of Secondary School Principals Advocacy Conference and walked by the Smithsonian Museum of the American Indian and thought, that’s it – this is the culminating learning experience our students need to have as they end their time in Lincoln County,” said Tolan.

Tolan’s thoughts were shared by many, including LCSD Business Manager Kim Cusick, whose office went to work submitting a Title VI federal budget revision for cultural experiences and travel, a category that had gone largely unused due to COVID-19 restrictions. Superintendent Dr. Karen Gray also wholeheartedly supported the opportunity.

“I think it is really important for young people to experience history firsthand.

I was especially excited to provide kids an opportunity to visit national museums that are thoughtfully dedicated to sharing the different ethnic and cultural histories of our students.

They can experience pride and understanding of their culture and have an appreciation of the various people that have been marginalized,” said Gray.

Through consultation with Alissa Lane-Keene, programs II manager for the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians, Gregory Hindsley, education program specialist for the United States Office of Indian Education, and with support from the LCSD Indian Education Parent Committee, the trip that had been a thought walking past a museum became a reality for any of the graduating Title VI students who wanted to attend.

“On behalf of the Office of Indian Education, I was pleased

I was honored to spend some time with the group while they were in D.C. and learn more about the students and their experiences and aspirations. This program affirms that OIE is supporting great Indian Education programs in Oregon and across the country,” said Hindsley.

The students themselves appreciated the opportunity.

“The trip to D.C. gave me an opportunity to explore my heritage, stand for native representation, and further understand the history of our country,” said Newport High graduate Adrian Mobley.

Having been to Washington, D.C., and on field trips in the past, Indian Education specialist Felecia Howell felt something different during this experience.

“This trip was more than visiting the beautiful museums. This trip gave students the chance to find themselves and realize how powerful they are and how important it is for them to empower each other and be proud of who they are and where they come from,” said Howell.

Waldport graduate Skyly Postma followed with, “I’ve never felt more comfortable or heard around a group of people I barely knew. This trip was an amazing opportunity not only for me but for other Native Americans who want to learn more about our culture.”

Graduates had a walking tour of D.C. from Hindlsey, visited the National Museum of Natural History, National Museum of American History, and the National Museum of the American Indian, and met with Simone Auguer, Legislative assistant to Congressman Kurt Schrader. Graduates shared information and concerns about issues such as human trafficking, missing, and murdered Indigenous women; lack of water on reservations; and affordable housing.

“We enjoyed their visit and were very impressed with their knowledge and insights on

issues that concern them. They were wonderful and had great questions! We’re so glad we had the opportunity to chat with them,” said Auguer.

The intent of the trip was to provide students with learning opportunities beyond this single experience, though.

“We realize that in our educational system, there are gaps in cultural representation,” said Tolan. “With the passage of Senate Bill 13 and House Bill 2845, the inclusion of Tribal History Shared History and Ethnic Studies across content areas, we know that we still have work to do when it comes to underrepresented groups who have a history that is not being shared. Student and family voice is important when it comes to representation. Listening can almost always provide the best learning,” said Tolan.

NHS graduate Mobley agreed, “I think if there’s anything I can take away from D.C. that I hope to have introduced to LCSD is more education on the native history and the exploration of cultures outside of our small county. I think the world is filled with so much misinterpretation and misunderstandings that even a simple avenue to explore different cultures would be beneficial for inclusivity, cultural preservation, and building compassion and empathy.”

Lincoln County School District serves Title VI Indian Education students in Lincoln City, Newport, Siletz, Toledo, Eddyville and Waldport.

Federal Title VI is part of the Office of Indian Education, housed in the United States Department of Education. LCSD Title VI regularly consults with the Confederated Tribes of the

Siletz Indians to support and enhance learning and cultural opportunities for their youth.

Cuando la directora de secundaria, Majalise Tolan, quiso llevar a los estudiantes graduados de Educación Indígena del Título VI del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Lincoln a Washington, D.C., parecía imposible. “Estuve en la Conferencia de defensa de la Asociación Nacional de Directores de Escuelas Secundarias y pasé por el Museo Smithsonian del Indígena Americano y pensé, eso es todo, esta es la experiencia de aprendizaje culminante que nuestros estudiantes deben tener al terminar su tiempo en el condado de Lincoln”. dijo Tolán. Muchos compartieron los pensamientos de Tolan, incluido el gerente comercial de LCSD, Kim Cusick, cuya oficina se puso a trabajar para presentar una revisión del presupuesto federal del Título VI para experiencias culturales y viajes, una categoría que no se había utilizado en gran medida debido a las restricciones de Covid. Superintendente A través de consultas con Alissa LaneKeene, Gerente de Programas II para las Tribus Confederadas de los Indios Siletz, Gregory Hindsley, Especialista del Programa de Educación de la Oficina de Educación Indígena de los Estados Unidos, y con el apoyo del Comité de Padres de Educación Indígena de LCSD, el viaje que tuvo sido un pensamiento pasar por un museo se convirtió en una realidad para cualquiera de los estudiantes graduados del Título VI que querían asistir. “En nombre de la Oficina de Educación Indígena, me complació aprobar

Tuve el honor de pasar un tiempo con el grupo mientras estaban en DC y aprender más sobre los estudiantes y sus experiencias y aspiraciones. Este programa afirma que la OIE está apoyando excelentes programas de educación indígena en Oregón y en todo el país”, dijo Hindsley, OIE. Los propios estudiantes apreciaron la oportunidad: “El viaje a D.C. me dio la oportunidad de explorar mi herencia, representar a los nativos y comprender mejor la historia de nuestro país”, dijo Adrian Mobley, graduado de Newport High.

Habiendo estado en Washington, D.C., y en excursiones en el pasado, la especialista en educación india Felecia Howell sintió algo diferente durante esta experiencia. “Este viaje fue más que visitar los hermosos museos. Este viaje les dio a los estudiantes la oportunidad de encontrarse a sí mismos y darse cuenta de lo poderosos que son y lo importante que es para ellos empoderarse unos a otros y estar orgullosos de quiénes son y de dónde vienen”, dijo Howell. La graduada de Waldport, Skyly Postma, siguió: “Nunca me había sentido más cómoda o escuchado alrededor de un grupo de personas que apenas conocía. Este viaje fue una oportunidad increíble no solo para mí sino también para otros nativos americanos que quieren aprender más sobre nuestra cultura”.

Oregon Department of Emergency Management brings a new era of emergency management Effective Friday, July 1, Oregon’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) is officially operating as the Oregon Department of Emergency Management. A result of House Bill (HB) 2927, passed in 2021, this transition establishes OEM as a stand-alone cabinet-level department reporting directly to the governor.

The agency previously served as a division of the Oregon Military Department since its founding in 1981.

“For our communities, for our state, and for our economies to continue to thrive, Oregon must be resilient and ready to recover from natural disasters,” said Oregon Gov. Kate Brown. “By prioritizing emergency management, we are ensuring that Oregon is better prepared and ready for such events.

Standing up the Oregon Department of Emergency Management will strengthen coordination and response between local, tribal, state and federal jurisdictions and communities, helping to save lives, protect our critical infrastructure and prepare Oregon communities across the state before the next catastrophic event occurs.”

The Oregon Department of Emergency Management will operate under the familiar acronym of OEM – Oregon Emergency Management – to continue building on the agency’s credibility and recognition. A rebranded logo prominently features the outline of the state to better represent all communities it serves.

“The disasters of the last few years brought our agency – and emergency management as a whole – to the forefront in a way none of us could have anticipated,” said Oregon Department

of Emergency Management Director Andrew Phelps. “The 2021 legislative session clearly demonstrated support from Governor Brown and the legislature, especially Representative Paul Evans who was a chief sponsor of the legislation, of Oregon Emergency Management and the work we do. This establishment better positions our organization to prioritize risk reduction and mitigation efforts while maintaining local support statewide for managing the consequences of disasters.”

Becoming a stand-alone department coincides with unprecedented growth in statelevel emergency management. Since the 2021 legislative session, OEM has more than doubled its staff and seen budgetary increases to fund the increased capacity. These investments have allowed for a restructure of the agency to better support local and tribal jurisdictions through all phases of disasters, including readiness, response, mitigation and recovery.

Regional coordination teams now serve as dedicated local points of contact, bridging gaps and strengthening relationships with emergency management professionals.

These coordinators are joined by a tribal liaison for Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribes; and key roles to guide and implement inclusion, equity and accessibility initiatives unique to each community.

OEM has also expanded its mitigation capacity to assist and guide investments in risk reduction initiatives, looking forward at the shifting hazards to mitigate the risk of impacts caused by a changing climate.

“Disasters are policy issues,” explained Phelps. “They are often a result of how we build, where we build, and the investments we choose to make. Expanding our mitigation efforts will help insure we are not preparing for the disaster we faced a decade ago, but for those we face today and in years to come.”

Recognizing that disasters have a disproportionate impact on vulnerable populations, the department is prioritizing a comprehensive and equitable approach to emergency management. OEM will continue to evolve its policies and programs to better support all communities in the state, with intentional focus on those historically marginalized and underserved. Identifying and mitigating factors contributing to existing disparities is key to ensuring programs and resources are equitable, inclusive and accessible.

HB2927 also transferred the Oregon Emergency Response System (OERS) call staff from the Department of State Police to OEM in the 2023 biennium; and transferred the Oregon Homeland Security Council from OEM to the Governor’s Office. Additionally, HB 2927 created two advisory councils to provide recommendations to the Governor’s Office and OEM on emergency preparedness, response, mitigation and recovery: The Emergency Preparedness Advisory Council on which OEM has a seat, and the Local Government Emergency Management Advisory Council, for which OEM will provide staff support.

“This transition has been in motion since July 1 of last year and we are excited the day has finally arrived,” said Phelps. “All of us at OEM are eager to continue partnering with the communities we serve to modernize emergency management and build a culture of preparedness in Oregon – one that empowers individuals, families and communities to be disaster survivors rather than victims.

For emergency services facilities, the emphasis is on first responder buildings including hospital buildings with acute inpatient care facilities, fire stations, police stations, sheriff’s offices, and 911 centers.

This year’s grants bring the award total to 299 schools and 133 emergency services buildings that have been awarded funding for improvements since the program’s first awards in 2009. The program was created by the Oregon Legislature in 2005 and transferred to Business Oregon in 2014.
