ayne Belmont officially retired last Friday after 35 years as Lincoln County Counsel, though he will continue to work with the county counsel’s office on a contract basis, assisting with special projects and helping as needed over the next year. Lincoln County Board Chair Doug Hunt noted at the board’s regular meeting July 6 that in addition to the duties of county counsel, Belmont has fulfilled the role of county administrator, doing so “admirably and with tireless dedication and selfless commitment to the county,” he said. “As a new commissioner, he provided me guidance and insight to complex and controversial challenges, making the adjustment to my job so much smoother,” Hunt recalled. Representing county commissioners and other elected officials in civil matters was Belmont’s dream as he attended the University of Oregon School of Law. “There are so many things we can do together,” Belmont said, relationships central to the successful

Retired Army veteran Kekule was one of three American soldiers who received France’s highest honor, Knight in the National Order of the Legion of Honour, which is for US soldiers who fought between October 1943 and May 1945. He served in the Army Medical Corps from 1939 to 1962. At 102 years old, Kekule recently moved to Lincoln City. Volunteers and veterans Jerry Morgan and Gary Dulley came from Eugene to present the quilts. Quilts of Valor provides handmade quilts to service members or veterans touched by war. More information about Quilts of Valor can be found online at qovf.org, which includes guidance on making and donating a quilt for one of the many who have been nominated but are awaiting their quilt award.

ith family and friends attending in support, two residents of Hillside Place in Lincoln City were awarded “Quilts of Valor” on July 7. Both Frank Royston and Stanley Kekule were nominated to receive a quilt from the Quilts of Valor Foundation. Royston served in the US Navy from 1951 to 1955 on the USS Point Cruz. During his time on the carrier, the crew rescued an abandoned baby in Korea which was the inspiration for the 1997 movie, A Thousand Men and a Baby. Royston had authorization to go anywhere on the ship and said he would visit and hold the baby.
he Lincoln City Police Department will be utilizing grant funds from the Oregon Department of Transportation and Oregon Impact to conduct a pedestrian safety operation between noon and 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 21 on Hwy 101 in the area between South 5th Street and South 1st Street. Police Lieutenant Jeffrey Winn said the primary focus of the operation is to raise pedestrian safety awareness. The area will be marked with cones to note where to stop. Failure to yield for a pedestrian, also includes passing a vehicle stopped for a pedestrian. “It’s an opportunity for education and enforcement,” said Lieutenant Jeffrey Winn. “These safety operations are conducted in an effort to reduce the potential for injuries or death to pedestrians in our city. If someone fails to yield to the decoy pedestrian, a patrol officer will be notified and the vehicle will be pulled over. When pulled over, the officer will also check for insurance, warrants or other violations, Winn said. Video will be taken of all operations to be used as evidence. Winn said the officer running the operation has been trained to give the benefit of the doubt to the driver. The court set bail amount for failing to stop at a crosswalk is $265.

State Marine Board Boating Safety Program Manager Randy Henry. The News Guard: How many boating fatalities have their been in Oregon in the past two years? Randy Henry: Oregon had 26 fatalities in 2020, and we have six so far this year. The News Guard: What are the most common elements that lead to boating accidents and fatalities? Henry: Life jackets would likely have saved 19 of last year’s drowningrelated fatalities, so wearing a life jacket is your best bet
for surviving a dunking incident. But life jackets don’t prevent accidents, they just help you survive them. The elements that lead to the majority of incidents is people operating above their skill or knowledge level. There were many novices last year that ended up in strong currents and simply capsized, or turned too quickly and were ejected from their boat. If you’re using a small boat, you should dress with the expectation that you’ll

Nearly one-half mile of paintings on display July 21-24 on the LCCC lawn Features work from local artists AMBER DEYO newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
Established local painter Katia Kyte has been a Lincoln City resident for 13 years. When she first came to the United States from Russia, she wasn’t immediately able to work until she obtained proper documentation. Her husband asked her what she wanted to do, which she said she had never actually asked herself. While she knew she had artistic abilities since she was young, she had so many things she had to do in life, she hadn’t ever thought about what she wanted to do. But paint she did. Now with work at Volta Gallery in Lincoln City, as well as at a gallery in Salem and Gleneden Beach, Kyte continues to pursue her art. She primarily does plein air painting, which means she paints outside to capture the moment in the landscape. A favorite place for her is Siletz Bay and the rock formations there. She said she usually brings her daughter along with her and she is always playing in the background of her paintings. “I don’t get tired of painting it,” she said. “It’s one of my places to go when I want to reconnect.” Kyte said the organizers of “For the Seventh Generation: A Community of Coastal Watchers” found her online. The original painting she submitted for this show sold at a gallery, so she asked to redo the painting. While similar, she did the original painting shortly after the fires last year. She said she had a different perspective in September “Now, I guess it’s more cheerful,” she said. “Before, it was very traumatic.” The outdoor exhibit, which will be held July 21-24, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, will span nearly a half mile on the Lincoln City Cultural Center grounds. It will feature landscape paintings from artists from California, Oregon and Washington, each painting two feet by four feet. About “For the Seventh Generation: A Community of Coastal Watchers” This coastal community event, co-sponsored by the Elisabeth Jones Art Center and the Surfrider Foundation, is presented by the LCCC with generous contributions from Chinook Winds Casino Resort and The Bijou Theatre. Admission to the exhibit and a schedule of associated “For the Seventh Generation” cultural events, will be free. This 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

Teply calls his project “A Visual State of the Ocean Address.” “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.” 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.
To learn more about the project and the artists who are contributing, head to the EJAC’s YouTube Channel, youtube.com/hashtag/ fortheseventhgeneration. “While you’re here, be sure to enjoy the two other shows inside the center: the Small Expressions International 7 exhibit in the Fiber Arts Studio Gallery, and the 2021 LCCC Members Show in the PJ Chessman Gallery,” said executive director Niki Price. “And don’t forget to check out our Before I Die display, just outside the auditorium doors. It’s a fill-in-the-blank of bucket list stuff – like seeing a half mile of paintings.” Art and ocean lovers are also invited to these free, associated programs: For the Seventh Generation Spoken Word – Hear poetry, prose and other spoken word submissions on the coast, the ocean and conservation. 6 p.m. Thursday, July 22, in the LCCC auditorium. 7th Gen Film Festival 2021 – This juried film program is a 90-minute collection of videos about connecting to place, inspired by specific beach locations along the Pacific Coast. 11 a.m. Friday, July 23, at the Bijou Theatre, 1624 NE Hwy. 101. Oceans Festival Art Picnic – The community is invited to enjoy the exhibit along with live music and art-making, on the last day of the outdoor art exhibit. Noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 24 at the LCCC.

Trauma centers at Samaritan hospitals in Lincoln County approved for recertification The Oregon Health Authority recently conducted recertification surveys of the Level IV trauma centers located at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital and Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. Each center will be certified for another three years and additional personnel

resources will be allocated to support program growth, according to Lesley Ogden, MD, CEO of both hospitals. “In our small communities served by critical access hospitals, it is impressive that we voluntarily undergo these trauma surveys and abide by the same rules as top-tier hospitals to make sure we give the best trauma care we can,” said Dr. Ogden. “I wish to publicly praise our teams who guided the surveyors through comprehensive chart reviews, led a virtual tour of the facilities, and thoroughly answered questions about trauma patient
documentation, data collection and process improvement.” In Newport, the trauma team includes Pamela Holbrook, RN, trauma coordinator/registrar; Joshua Cook, DO, trauma medical director; and the entire Emergency Department staff. In Lincoln City, the trauma team includes Karla Rutherford, RN, trauma registrar; Rick Rhoton, trauma coordinator and Emergency Department manager; Steven Andescavage, DO, trauma medical director/Emergency Department medical director; as well
as the entire Emergency Department staff. “Many, many kudos to my staff at both hospitals for building and maintaining quality trauma programs,” Dr. Ogden said. “Our communities are safer and healthier because of their stellar efforts.” According to the OHA website, the role of the Level IV trauma center is to resuscitate and stabilize severely injured patients, both adult and pediatric, before transfer to a higher-level trauma system hospital. This may involve surgical intervention and life-saving maneuvers, which mean the Level IV trauma center must have physicians and staff available at all hours of the day and all appropriate equipment and diagnostic capabilities to resuscitate severely injured patients. In Oregon, trauma centers are identified as being Level I, II, III or IV, with Levels I and II offering the highest level of care. The Level II trauma center closest to Lincoln County is Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis – part of the nonprofit Samari tan Health Services that serves Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties. The only two Level I trauma centers in the state are in Portland (Legacy Emanuel and OHSU).

career he enjoyed as county counsel for Lincoln County. “You work hard to nurture and build relationships, because working together is so much better than setting up silos,” he said. Highlights of Belmont’s career include involvement in the establishment of the Lincoln County Library District, development of the transit district that stabilized and expanded bus service throughout the county, formation of the state’s first extension service district and developing the animal services district. Assistant County Counsel Kristin Yuille, hired by Belmont in 2009, will suc-
ceed him. Before becoming an attorney, Yuille was a research scientist at Pfizer Global Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan. After attending law school at Michigan State University, she worked at the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality and clerked for the Honorable Amy Krause in Lansing, Michigan, who serves on the Michigan Court of Appeals. Yuille is admitted to practice law in Michigan, Oregon and before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office as a patent attorney. Yuille asked to speak after being appointed county counsel at the July 6 meet-
ing, thanking the commissioners and acknowledging Belmont. “I’ve been honored to be part of this team for 12 years,” she said. “Directly related to my success has been the mentorship and leadership in place in the county.” “We all look forward to working with you, too,” Board Chair Doug Hunt responded. The commissioners voted unanimously on July 6 to establish the position of county administrator. The county is actively recruiting for the new position, and is expected to fill that position in the Fall.
Former lifeguard on hike assists sinking kayaker SUBMITTED BY STEVE ALKANA
About 2 p.m. on July 4, Heidi Wood, a new resident of the area, was hiking on the Salishan Spit Trail where Siletz Bay enters the ocean. Wood noticed a kayaker too far out from shore. As the kayaker struggled about 100 yards off shore, Wood and her partner Steven Alkana followed him as strong currents quickly carried the kayaker into trouble south about a mile. They noticed he had two small oars instead of one large one. He seemed to sink, but then stay afloat. They later learned the plug had come out of his hard plastic kayak making him half submerged and hard to spot, also making the beach patrol unable to see him. A basic orange life vest helped him in his struggle to stay afloat covered in icy waters. As he drifted within 50 yards of the shore, Wood, a former lifeguard, shouted repeated instructions to the drowning man to free himself. She said to roll on to his back and keep kicking to get closer to shore. Eventually, exhausted, he made it to shallower water, still caught in a severe rip tide. He was a bit delirious and borderline hypothermic, when Wood waded in and dragged him to safety. The kayaker told Wood that he was giving up until he heard her voice. His life vest and Wood’s relentless pursuit to help someone she didn’t know to make sure he was OK, saved this man’s life. After he was pulled to safety, the beach surf patrol of three on waterskis appeared and assisted him back to his companions.

end up in the water. A life jacket is part of that outfit, but if the water is cold, wear appropriate clothing, which may include a wet- or drysuit, or at least synthetic materials that dry quickly. One of last year’s toughest fatalities was a father and daughter using stand-up paddleboards on a river. They were well-outfitted with life jackets and wetsuits, but their ankle leashes became entangled in a downed tree. We are working to educate SUPers to use ‘quick release’ leashes on moving waters to prevent such incidents. SUP is Stand Up Paddle Board. It’s a growth area of recreational boating, and use of life jackets is relatively low. They’re fun, cheap, transportable, but they are still considered boats. We had three SUP fatalities last year. Many SUPers use ‘ankle leashes’ so if they fall off, the board doesn’t get away from them. It’s a
good idea in lakes and flat water, but not in moving water. The leash is a strong cord and the Velcro is very powerful. The quick-release leashes often hook to a life jacket and have an easy-grab handle that releases it. When pinned in the water, the hydraulics make it impossible to bend your waist up to grab the ankle leash, but if it’s at the waist, it’s easier. The News Guard: What are the most common areas where the boating accidents and fatalities occur? Henry: Ten of the fatalities occurred on lakes, 10 on rivers, and six on bays or near the mouth of coastal rivers. Oregon has such a broad mix of waterways that this diversity is not uncommon. What was uncommon last year was the high number of fatalities prior to July 4. Exactly half were in non-motorized boats, but most were in small boats.
Head Start of Lincoln County now enrolling for coming school year Head Start of Lincoln County is now accepting applications and enrolling children ages 3-5 for the 2021-22 school year, beginning in early September. Program is supported by Community Services Consortium (CSC). After a year of remote education due to the pandemic, Head Start plans to open the new school year with full, in-person classrooms. New guidelines will promote safety and wellness for the children, families and staff. Head Start offers free dental and vision screenings, mental health supports and nutrition services. They also provide over 60,000 meals in a single
academic year. To increase the supports available for participating families, Head Start and CSC are offering new incentives for transportation, educational resources, technology and more this year. “We look forward to once again sharing a year of learning face-to-face with our Head Start children and their families, in which each day is a day of exploration and discovery for your child,” said Dr. Suzanne Miller, director of Head Start of Lincoln County. As CSC transitions out of the pandemic, they have been looking for more ways to support families
and individuals with their full suite of services to help the communities they serve more holistically. To achieve that, each family will be closely connected to the many other CSC programs and services that can help with their immediate and long-term needs. Head Start is offering early enrollment; anyone who applies before the school year starts and is eligible for the program can be enrolled now, with early access to the resources and supports available to Head Start families. Interested Lincoln County residents can apply online and learn more via the CSC website at communityservices.us/head-start.
Wyden, Merkley announce $5.4 million American Rescue Plan investment in Head Start for Oregon Community Services Consortium in Lincoln County portioned at $122,043 U.S. Senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley announced $5.4 million in Head Start funding going to Oregon from the American Rescue Plan. “Head Start programs give low-income kids in Oregon and nationwide a leg up, preparing them to excel in school,” Wyden said. “It’s critical to get the Head Start programs of our state back in person as quickly and safely as possible to make sure Oregon’s youngsters don’t fall behind. This funding from President Biden’s American Rescue Plan, which I fought to pass through Congress
earlier this year, will help do just that.” “Every Oregonian deserves a high-quality education; investing early in our children’s health and learning is critical to ensuring their success,” Merkley said. “This funding from the American Rescue Plan will help to provide a strong foundation for students of all backgrounds to thrive, especially after the challenges of schooling through the coronavirus pandemic. I will continue to fight for programs like Head Start that equip Oregon students with the tools they need to reach their full potential.”
Most accidents occur on more crowded waterways. The News Guard: What are the most common boating violations and what is the range of fines for those boating violations? Henry: The most common violations relate to vessel registration. Violations range from $115 to $265 depending what the problem is. The most common operational violation is for life jackets. That fine is $115 for adults and $265 for children under 13. This is the first year we are really citing for “no Waterway Access Permit” which is required for nonmotorized boats over 10’ long, and that’s a $115 fine. Other common violations include “slow no wake,” failure to maintain a look-out, motor prohibited, and reckless boating, all which carry a $265 fine. For more information, contact the Oregon Marine Board at 503378-8587.
Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition to host online talk The Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. One of the anniversary activities is a series of online talks, relating to both the history and the future of the Oregon coast. The next event in this series, coming up on Wednesday, July 21, at 7 p.m., is a look back at the history of Oregon coastal conservation. Chuck Johnson, author of Standing at the Water’s Edge: Bob Straub’s Battle for the Soul of Oregon, will speak on: “The Roots of Oregon’s Coastal Conservation Legacy: Opportunities Taken, Opportunities Missed.” This virtual event is free and open to all. Johnson will explore Oregon’s heritage in preserving coastal environments, with a focus on what was considered and accomplished in the 1960s in the fight over access and control of Oregon’s beaches and coastal landscape, and what was ignored or neglected, and the implications of these choices and decisions on today’s efforts to conserve our coastal heritage. There will be a discussion afterwards.
Charles K. (Chuck) Johnson currently serves as Program Director for International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), based in Boston. After nearly four decades as an activist, writer, and fundraiser at the local, national, and international levels. He is responsible for coordinating the international federation’s work on the medical and humanitarian consequences of nuclear weapons and is also currently serving as administrative co-chair of the International Steering Group of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN). Chuck spent more than a decade working in the Oregon State Legislature and for Oregon non-profits in the 1970s and 80s.

Salishan Tennis members celebrate Bryan Barten (center), nationally-ranked wheelchair tennis player and brother of Peter Barten of Gleneden Beach, on his selection to the U.S. Paralympic Team for the Tokyo Olympics. Barten has been practicing for the past week at Salishan Tennis Center with his coach Brett Schoer (back row, left) in preparation for the trip to Tokyo at the end of August. When not traveling the world participating in competitions, Barten lives in Tucson and coaches wheelchair tennis at the University of Arizona. Salishan Coastal Lodge donated his court time and several tennis members contributed funds to help defray his travel expenses to Tokyo.

Find anything cool today? A
lthough it’s reasonable to assume anyone walking alone on the beach wants to be left alone, if I cross paths within 10 feet of a person, I’m going to ask, “find anything cool today?” I suppose if I never got a response, I’d stop doing it, but the folks I’ve met show me their agates or other finds. Sometimes, they even tell me about what they found the day before or where they live or who they know. We then continue on our path. If I see anything they said they’re looking for, I’ll pick it up. Often, we cross paths again on the way back, and the trading begins. I like the red rocks. But my treasures and cool finds aren’t necessarily in the rocks I’ve been given, but in the exchange and the conversations and connections with strangers. As the new editor for The News Guard, I hope to have many conversations and connections in Lincoln City, not as strangers, but in professional working relationships, as co-volunteers or even friends. I know those things take time, and I do tend to seem quiet or shy, but my curiosity gets the best of me and I’ll have questions. Lots of questions. I’m not new to the newspaper business. I’ve been in and out of it since 1996 and worn many hats. And I’m not new to Oregon. I grew up in Gresham. I enlisted in the Army in 1989 and while I didn’t serve for many years, it set me on a long winding path through many states from Vermont to Texas to Wyoming and more. And I’m finally home again. I’m also not new to know the workings of local government. My father served on our local city council for what felt like my entire childhood. At 17 years old, I was the mayor’s daughter. I won’t pretend that didn’t suck. But as a reporter, I’ve covered
A pilot once was supposed to fly from NYC to LA. He ended up in Ireland and claimed navigation error. Well he made a comeback on July 3rd for the Devils Lake fireworks. With a sizable crowd gathered at Regatta Park anxious to get back to normal and enjoy a night out, Wrong Way struck again.

at least a few city and county governments and chatted with a handful of federal elected officials. This isn’t my first rodeo and I consider reporting on how taxpayer dollars are spent to be a primary duty. But I certainly don’t know it all, and I’m eager to learn and become a member of the community. I’m interested in your thoughts and ideas and anything cool you may have found, seen, learned or just already know. If you need a volunteer for a community organization or event, hit me up. I’ll get something in the paper and if it works with my schedule and skills, I’ll sign up myself. I can be reached by e-mail at newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net and by phone at the office at 541-994-2178. If you find something really cool, you can also call or text me on my cell at 541-226-1956.
VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY Wrong way Corrigan pilots fireworks barge
ONLINE POLL
The crowd had gathered as in the past, with sparklers, fireworks and music filling the air. Each illegal firework filling the air amped up the anticipation. Imagine our shock and then anger as the fireworks display started and could not be seen by the park attendees, Wrong way parked the barge so that the trees in the park totally blocked the view of many. We could see the flashes
of color and hear the booms but little else. I have gone many years to the park and have enjoyed the fireworks display. This year when it was needed the most after Covid it was a huge disappointment. They should have done better and had someone with experience plan placement of the barge. So disappointing. Larry Skelly

Taft High School Student Council receives top honor Taft High School is one of 13 high schools and four middle schools in the state receiving recognition as a high achieving leadership program with a Gold Council Award. The award, sponsored by the Oregon Association of Student Councils (OASC) sets high standards for student councils and leadership programs and honors them if they can reach or exceed these goals. The leadership programs begin by setting goals in the fall and actively participate in leadership activities and events throughout the year. In order to receive the award, programs must create and encourage activities that promote inclusivity among all students at the school and provide a series of events that include a variety of different areas/disciplines in the school. Along with involvement in the school, they must also demonstrate that they are gaining valuable leadership and professional skills that they can take with them outside of school. “The impact of student leaders is truly extraordinary. They directly affect the climate and culture of their schools, often extending their influence into the community
and beyond. During Covid, we have seen student leaders show incredible resiliency, positivity, creativity, and strength in the face of adversity,” Sarah Cole, OASC Leadership Consultant Team, Adviser Programming and Support. Usually, these award-winning schools are recognized in person at OASC Spring Conference in April, but due to Covid we are honoring our schools virtually and will be mailing certificates this August. The Oregon Association of Student Councils, founded in 1949 and sponsored by The Coalition of Oregon School Administrators (COSA), serves middle and high school students and advisers from around the state. They provide conferences, workshops, online newsletters, and summer leadership camps designed to heighten student leadership development and improve school culture. In the last few years, OASC has also added a Capitol Ambassador program and has begun organizing with affinity groups. The association is guided by its mission statement: Committed to leadership development with a vision for service, involvement, and action.

Remembering the waving captain
FILE PHOTO
For 20 years, Charlie Womack was a familiar personality waving at passersby in front of his shop, Treasures of the Sea on Highway 101. He was often seen in a Captain’s hat, and sometimes with his wife, Patricia in her lobster hat. Womack died late in the night on June 25. According to his step-daughter Sandra Westgate, in December of 2019, his health began to fail and by September 2020 he was on oxygen. With help from his family, he closed his shop in December 2020. Westgate said Womack kept a guestbook with special notes and comments from visitors who would come back year after year. “He had endless stories of finds and people,” she said. Womack would have been 78 years old on June 29. His memorial service was on Monday June 28 at the Lincoln City Church of the Nazarene.
NLFR SHOPS LOCAL FOR DISASTER SUPPLIES
COURTESY PHOTO
For the past three years, North Lincoln Fire and Rescue has partnered with Bruce Polvi from Lincoln City Sporting Goods to purchase their annual disaster preparedness supplies. NLFR receives a $2,500 grant from the county and they match it to spend a total of $5,000. The supplies are dispersed throughout the fire district to provide emergency food, water purification, and sheltering equipment that can be accessed with a moments notice. Paramedic Brandon Bowers who oversees the program is pictured with Bruce Polvi showing a portion of this year’s purchase. NLFR is grateful to Polvi for his dedication to preparedness and maximizing the public dollars they spend.
North Lincoln Hospital Foundation invites all to their virtual Summer Gala Put on your comfiest summer attire and sit back and relax as you attend the annual North Lincoln Hospital Foundation Summer Gala – this year held virtually and without charge on Saturday, Aug. 28. From 5 to 6 p.m., join the online gala that will feature a mixture of live and prerecorded moments including a welcome by Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital CEO Lesley Ogden, MD, and the foundation’s new executive director, Natalie Schaefer. You’ll recognize friends from the community and will witness the emotional story about a local woman whose life was saved, thanks to the hospital’s emergency services and high-tech diagnostic imaging. Along with the free virtual gala, the weekend of activities includes the 25th Annual Charity Golf Scramble, being held this year in honor of Ann Butler, a longtime and devoted member of the NLHF Board of Trustees. The scramble will be held Friday, Aug. 27, at Salishan Coastal Lodge & Resort. The shotgun start is at 1:30 p.m. “While I am new to the
community, I have quickly learned how important this hospital is to the wellbeing of residents as well as visitors,” Schaefer said. “The foundation has been instrumental in raising funds in support of health care services, and Ann Butler has been a driving force on the board that oversees these efforts. For this reason, we invite and welcome everyone to attend the Summer Gala, the golf scramble or
both.” Proceeds from this year’s event will support the new MRI building project, being constructed directly adjacent to the hospital. To attend the gala, it is necessary to have a mobile device or computer with audio and registration is required. For complete info, visit samhealth.org/NLHFGala or call Leslie James, development specialist, at 503-780-8737.
