Lincoln County discusses pretrial services program HILARY DORSEY Editor

L

incoln County proclaimed July 17-23 as National Pretrial Services Week in Lincoln County during a Lincoln County Board of Commissioners meeting Wednesday, July 20. The pretrial program puts together a recommendation of release from jail. The proclamation states that pretrial staff members are an essential part of the criminal justice system. They uphold the law, while recognizing the right of the public to be safe guarded from criminal activity. Staff members are responsible for monitoring clients while in the community. They provide services and referrals for clients. “Pretrial staff members work in partnership with community agencies,” Commissioner Kaety Jacobson read of the proclamation. “Pretrial staff mem-

bers promote prevention, intervention and advocacy.” Jeff Hoey, pretrial specialist at the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, gave an update on how the program is going. When adults in custody come to the jail, the program puts together a recommendation for release to the judge. “During the interview process, we also verify information and give it the judge so the judge can make a wellinformed decision,” Hoey said. “If that client is not released at the arraignment initially, we’ll go do a second look to try to identify some of the barriers that are holding them in custody and potentially make another recommendation.” If a client cannot go home, the program will identify if they need a hotel or a pretrial house. They also meet with clients who have been issued a citation that are not lodged in jail.

“We do receive copies of those citations,” Hoey said. “If they have contact information, we reach out to them.” The program’s system has robocall features by text and calling, which provides reminders of appointments. Hoey said the program recommends levels of monitoring to the judge. There

are urine samples, GPS tracking and alcohol monitoring available. “Since the opening of our program in October of 2018, we’ve had a total of 10,505 cases that have been open,” Hoey said. “There have been 5,500 cases closed with a successful outcome, 3,300 closed unsuccessful.” The high number of unsuccessful closings were related to COVID-19. The program has made significant efforts and are seeing a downward trend now, Hoey added. An unsuccessful closing is if the client did not show up for a court date or violated conditions. If a client is unsuccessful, Hoey reaches out to them. It is not a one and done, he added. Hoey said building a relationship with clients and helping set up reminders helps them be successful. The program offers pretrial housing. “We currently have five down

there,” Hoey said of how many people are housed. “It’s a nine-bed facility.” There are more rules at the house that the clients have to follow. The program has also helped with the crowding issue at the jail. Sheriff Curtis Landers said the vision of a pretrial program took off in 2017 with training. The program was opened in 2018. Landers said having pretrial services when jails were limited during COVID-19 was helpful. One of the barriers the pretrial service program faces is behavioral health issues, Landers added. The program tries to reduce barriers as much as possible. The program has solid relationships with drug and alcohol counselors. Counselors are available for clients.

Newport discusses stipend for councilors, tables topic HILARY DORSEY Editor

Peace by Piece concert marks comeback of Central Coast Chorale A

fter an abrupt COVID-19 shut-down, a cancelled concert series, a new artistic director, vaccination and mask mandates, constant re-evaluation of rehearsal protocols, and a new scheduled then re-scheduled concert series, choral music will once again fill the air on the Oregon Coast. The Central Coast Chorale will present three performances of their concert Peace by Piece at three different venues: Friday, July 29, at 7 p.m. at the Yachats Commons; Saturday, July 30, at 7 p.m. at the Chapel by the Sea Presbyterian Church in Lincoln City; and Sunday, July 31, at 4 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Newport. The theme “Affirming the cycle of life, death, grief, and healing with singing” should resonate with everyone at this time. Artistic Director Rhodd Caldwell wanted to create something especially relevant to the current socio-political climate. “As I was pondering a theme for this concert and going through our choral library,” said Caldwell, “I came upon a work entitled ‘Peace by Piece.’ The text of the song, set in a gospel vein, affirms that despite what seems to be an impossible task, the work of peacemaking is something that all of us can do every day. It’s all about the little choices we make that lead to both inner peace as well as peace in the greater world. That spoke volumes to me, given how all of our lives have been dramatically changed by COVID and, more recently, impacted by the tragic war in Ukraine. The theme grew from that work, and other appropriate literature fell into place very quickly.” The chorale often has narration during their concerts, providing backstory on composers and the individual pieces.

“I’m very pleased to announce that Jason Holland, Executive Director of Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will serve in that role for this event,” said Caldwell. The chorale will be accompanied by pianist Milo Graamans and guest percussionist Rick LaDoux. In addition to the chorale, the new mixed ensemble Sound Waves will perform two pieces under the direction of Assistant Director Cameron Garner. “Our musical selection for this concert will bring emotion and contemplation to every listener,” said Garner. “It will be a journey we are excited to share with you.” Concert admission is by donation ($10 per person suggested). A 50/50 raffle will be held at the end of each concert. “It’s been a long haul,” said Katrina Theodore, board vice president. “Like all the performing arts organizations, we’ve been working, researching, and waiting for the appropriate time to resume doing this thing we love. The uncertainty can be crippling, but we look at the numbers and take what precautions we can and move forward.” To long-time chorale supporters, this group will look a bit different. At 35 singers the chorale is smaller than usual. Roughly half of the singers are new. Some familiar faces have withdrawn due to the uncertainty of COVID-19. All chorale personnel are fully vaccinated. Some singers choose to wear masks for additional protection. The chorale board reviewed several options and recommends the singers masks endorsed by the National Association of Teachers of Singing.

community members and possibly those who have been part of the city’s budget process in more recent years. Goebel said he would support a workgroup as long as it did not come out of the council or staff. Parker was not in favor of creating a committee. “My point is that people can do their own research over a number of months and submit something to Spencer,” Parker said. “He can compile a report of his own and bring that to a council meeting.” Parker said the council could discuss the topic during a work session. “The spirit of this is starting in the next year or beyond that,” Parker said. For future vacancies and appointments, this needs to be discussed, Parker added. He suggested putting the topic as an agenda item in the fall. The motion to form a workgroup failed with a vote 3-3. Parker made a motion that in the next 90 days, the council and other interested parties submit their input on potential future compensation for city council members during their elected terms, at a rate to be determined, be sent to the city manager by Oct. 31. Hall said the timing of this feels like the city is not operating with integrity as several councilors will be put for election. Parker said he proposed this as there will be a vacant seat, as he will not seek reelection. “If we’re interested in all the keywords that people keep bringing up at these meetings, like inclusion and diversity, then we need to do something substantive to help people who don’t have the economic privilege to have Monday off every other week for four years to be a member of our community in a leadership role,” Parker said. Botello said it is important to have community members offer their opinion. Parker said if the council wants to put it to the voters, that is their decision to make. The motion was amended for councilors to provide input by Dec. 31. The motion did not pass and was tabled. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

ewport City Council discussed during a meeting Monday, July 18, a stipend for councilors. Councilor Ryan Parker had requested that the councilors discuss the stipend, which was last discussed in March 2021. The city manager’s report states that a number of Oregon cities provide some level of compensation for elected members. Parker requested that the council discuss a possible stipend for the councilors. Currently, the council does not receive compensation. Parker said he approached a number of people who may be interested in running for a seat on the council. Some of them voiced concern about missing time away from work and losing wages. Not everyone has the economic privilege to spend for city council meetings, Parker added. Councilor Dietmar Goebel said the council spends a lot of time in city council meetings two days per month. “It’s a lot of time with the committees we do and special meetings,” Goebel said. “I haven’t added up the hours.” Councilor Beatriz Botello said having a stipend could pay for child care or other related expenses. “Nobody’s going to get rich being a city councilor,” Councilor Jan Kaplan said. It would be a question of what level of funding would be needed, Kaplan added. Council President CM Hall said the council needs to think about what fits and the needs may not be one size fits all. The council does receive compensation to attend Oregon League of Cities conferences to continue their education of serving on a council. “If we are thinking about this, then think about it for the next budget,” Hall said. Hall would like to see what other coastal cities near Newport’s size are doing in terms of compensation. Hall made a motion that the city form a workgroup that would look at city councilors with the League of Oregon Cities and see what would be useful for the city so they can think about this for the next budget. The workgroup would look at what compensation would look like and what Lincoln City is doing in terms of compensation for its councilors. “The workgroup would maybe make some recommendations,” Hall said. The workgroup would consist of

Climate straw vote for November ballot withdrawn HILARY DORSEY Editor

Lincoln County agreed Wednesday, July 20, to withdraw the 2022 climate straw vote for the county to become carbon neutral by 2035. The board of commissioners had previously agreed to put the vote on the November ballot, at the request of Citizens for a Better Lincoln County. The group has since requested the vote be withdrawn. Efforts to achieve carbon neutrality would have included all efforts that go

toward reducing carbon in the atmosphere, such as electrification of utilities, transportation, heating, comprehensive recycling, working toward a circular economy, plant-based diets and more. Chair Claire Hall said the Citizens for a Better Lincoln County

have not been able to motivate many people to actively work on the measure. “I think it’s unfortunate that they didn’t have the [number] of volunteers and support they were hoping to,” Commissioner Kaety Jacobson said. “This is by their request that we pull it

off, so I think it makes sense to do that.” Commissioner Doug Hunt addressed the vote’s focus on climate change, using Great Britain’s recent highest temperatures experienced Tuesday, July 19. “It’s a serious problem and disappoints me that there wasn’t engagement by our citizens,” Hunt said. “I can understand the need to cancel.” Jacobson said there are two different climate projects the county

had in their ARPA funding that they are going to work on. One is for a climate adaption planning framework. The other is to start working on getting the county’s fleet converted over to electric vehicles. “Even though the straw vote is not moving forward, we have stuff at the county we are committed to do,” Jacobson said. The commissioners agreed to withdraw the straw vote. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Intimate house concerts return to the Central Coast Ten years ago, the first INHOUSE JAZZ concert took place in Newport Heights in August of 2012. This event featured an art exhibit by well-loved local painter/sculptor Ann Miller and the music of Portland pianist Gordon Lee. Karen Candelario of Ozone Fine Art painted live while music lovers listened and danced. Proceeds beyond expenses were donated to OCCA’s 2012 Oregon Coast Jazz Party. As the 2013 spring summer tourist season approached, new opportunities immerged setting the scene for more concerts. According to organizer Annie Averre, Frank Geltner, former OCCA director, suggested she host a series to feature regional jazz pianist/ composers. With the opportunity to perform on a 100-year-old Steinway Grand, it wasn’t difficult to find willing musicians. Grammy nominated and other notable pianists from the Northwest jazz scene joined the musical roster. Soon, Averre was approached by community members interested in opening their homes and the 2013 INHOUSE JAZZ Series manifested. The popular house concert series thrived over the years until live music came to a standstill with the COVID-19 pandemic. Now as things begin to return to normal and venues reopen, the 2022 INHOUSE Jazz series is once again offering concerts featuring groups and individual artists, highlighting each musician’s unique style and compositions. Coming July 31, the next INHOUSE Jazz concert will feature a unique trombone guitar duo: guitarist

Christopher Woitach and trombonist John Moak. Christopher Woitach plays a wide range of jazz styles, from Dixieland to Free jazz, Ragtime to Bebop. His compositions reflect his diverse musical tastes and abilities, combining the intricacies of Baroque counterpoint with the freedom of modern jazz. Joining Woitach will be trombonist John Moak, an integral part of the Northwest music scene. Moak has more than three decades of professional experience performing with symphony orchestras, ballets, Broadway musicals, big bands, Dixieland bands, various jazz groups Moak has performed with such notable jazz artists as Dave Brubeck, Pete Christlieb, Nat Adderly, Randy Brecker, Diane Schuur, Branford Marsalis, Slide Hampton, Doc Severinsen, Jack Sheldon, Herbie Mann, Rosemary Clooney, James Moody and Ken Peplowski. All INHOUSE Concerts in Lincoln County are offered from 2:30-5:30 p.m. on Sunday afternoons once each month from spring to fall. The INHOUSE Jazz atmosphere is informal, providing an opportunity for audiences to enjoy an intimate concert, free from the noise and distractions often associated with a restaurant or bar. There is no charge for these sessions, but a donation of $15-$30 is suggested to compensate musicians. Any funds collected beyond expenses are donated in support of local arts and education. The audience is encouraged to bring their own beverages and potluck treats. All interested in attending should RSVP to Annie Averre 360606-7136 prior to each concert.

Beach Bum Village to host artist demonstration Aug. 18 Beach Bum Vintage will feature a two-hour artist demonstration by local 81-year-old talent Toni Hart as a charity benefit for Backpacks for Kids Food Program. The artist will be at the shop from 1-3 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 18, to show her technique in alcohol ink painting, with questions encouraged. The shop is located at 4235 SW Hwy 101 in Lincoln City. More than 50 small original paintings by Toni

Hart will be for sale, plus greeting cards. All proceeds will go to Backpacks for Kids. The artist squeezed her art in between a career as a R.N., food editor, and restaurant/bar owner. She studied art in California with several noted teachers, and in turn is an art teacher herself. The winner of numerous awards, she is now retired and lives in her beachfront condo in Lincoln City.

Coast Guard rescues man approximately 57 miles offshore of Newport for medical The Coast Guard rescued a man from a vessel approximately 57 miles offshore Newport after he suffered a medical emergency. Coast Guard watchstanders received a report Saturday evening, July 16, of a 29-year-old man who had suffered from a stroke and related medical complications aboard the vessel Malto Hope approximately 1,000 miles west of the Oregon coast. Watchstanders at the 13th Coast Guard District Command Center recommended the ship transit closer to shore to be within range for a medical evacuation from a Coast Guard helicopter. Once the vessel was within response range, Coast Guard watchstanders directed the launch of an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew from Coast Guard Air Facility Newport to rescue the man. The aircrew arrived on scene Monday, July 18, shortly after 10:30 a.m., hoisted the man and transported him to awaiting emergency medical services at Air Facility Newport in stable condition.

Leadership Lincoln program now accepting applicants Oregon Coast Community College and the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce are teaming up to offer Leadership Lincoln, a 10-month leadership development program for local leaders. Now in its 30th year, this program develops individual leadership skills while informing participants about the people and organizations that make up Lincoln County. The class meets once per month, September through June, with the goal to develop leadership and management skills for individuals who are interested in and committed to the future of Lincoln County. Best of all, it provides ample opportunities to connect and form long-term relationships with leaders in the community. Participants can expect to learn about local industries and resources during informative panel discussions with local experts. Popular topics include education, tourism, industry, public health and other essential areas of business and life in Lincoln County. Jalene Case, of Jalene Case Coaching and Consulting, guides participants through content based on The Complete Leader program, including an assessment that supports students in learning more about their behaviors (how a person acts), motivators (why a person acts), and development in 25 leadership skills. Leaders grow by identifying individual strengths, improving communication skills and focusing on custom development objectives. “Over the last three years that I’ve been part of the program, I’ve enjoyed watching good leaders become even better in ways that are meaningful to them,” said Case. “It’s especially rewarding to see participants appreci-

analyst Sara Fischer. “The surviving newspapers are a fraction of their former size, and revenues and profits have significantly declined.” It’s a “crisis for our democracy and our society,” Penelope Abernathy, the director of Northwestern University’s School of Journalism, said. She referred to the widespread economic decline that has affected communities of all size, followed by “the rise of news deserts.” The extinction of local news, she explained, leaves citizens without the crucial information they need to address

those economic troubles. Close at hand, however, I am relieved to point out that there’s good news — in the form of our own Lincoln City News Guard! This paper, which just celebrated its XX anniversary, still fulfills the role of uniting and enlightening our town, despite all the challenging changes. Given the diversity of its readership, this is no trivial feat. Some readers look for schools and sports news. Some for arts and entertainment happenings. Some for local, county, state, and even federal politics. The one thing everyone has in common is a crucial reli-

ance on a strong local economy. I have seen the News Guard serving all these needs, but I am especially thankful for the way it supports Lincoln City business. When the guests at our guesthouse pick up their News Guard, they routinely tell me how impressed they are that a small, isolated town like ours has so far escaped the national trend towards news deserts. But nothing in life is certain. I want this newspaper to be with me — and us — for the long haul. I’d like to see more households becoming subscribers; following the News Guard on Face-

book; or just making a regular stop at: https://www.thenewsguard.com/ Better yet, as the economy rebounds, I hope to see more and more advertisers in the newspaper, because that really benefits local journalism. Let’s never let Lincoln City follow other towns in becoming a news desert. Mitch Gould and Rusty Keller operate the town’s most unique destination, Lakeheart Art Deco Guesthouse. Their short-term rental is having its Ribbon Cutting on Thursday, July 28, from 4 to 5pm, at 2137 NE Lake Drive in Lincoln City.

HOLY COW! HISTORY: Mussolini and Those Tardy Trains J. MARK POWELL InsideSources.com

Think quick: What comes to mind when you hear the name Benito Mussolini? Bad guy. Bellicose. Bald. The man who styled himself Il Duce (The Leader) was all those. And more. Yet 77 years after he was shot and hanged upside down before an angry mob in the ruins of a bombedout Milan gas station, one remnant of his legacy still lingers. “He made the trains run on time.” But did he really? Viewed from the 21st century, the father of fascism looks like a cartoon character. Big-chested, big-jawed, big talker, a man able to strut while sitting down. He had a thing for balconies, where he loved haranguing cheering crowds for hours. It was easy to draw huge crowds when attendance was mandatory, and cheering was “encouraged” by the Blackshirts, street thugs loyal only to the big guy himself. But in the 1920s and ’30s, Mussolini was viewed by some in the United States and Europe as the face of the future, a powerful figure who took

bold action and got things done. As the world sank into the grip of the Great Depression, many people at home and abroad wondered if Mussolini personified things to come. And his claim to fame, the one thing that stood head and shoulders above all others was, “He made the trains run on time.” From the minute the first steam engine chugged into Italy, its rail system was “challenged.” Italians never developed the iron discipline that American, British, and German rail barons brought to the Iron Horse. When World War I ended, Italy’s railways were in shambles. Tracks were in disrepair, and timetables were a joke. Then Mussolini burst onto the scene, bellowing that he would make everything right — including the country’s chaotic rail service. Soon people were saying over and over, “The trains are running on time.” But did they really? Sort of. Like all dictators everywhere, Mussolini knew the value of good propaganda. And he made sure he got lots of it. His minions cranked out miles and

miles of press releases trumpeting his achievements. Mussolini did indeed spend money and effort on improving rail beds and imposing a certain degree of order on Italy’s rail lines. But it was almost entirely focused on those used by foreign visitors. Meaning they went home and reported the miracle Mussolini was making. Consider this glowing headline from a 1923 story that ran in American newspapers: “Punctuality Marks Italian Train Service.” The article reported, “The spirit of discipline which the Mussolini government brought with it is no more concretely marked than on the railroads. … Italian trains now run on time since the advent of Italy’s young dictator to power. The Italian crack trains on the main lines cover the distances with minute precision and according to schedule. … Special policemen do service on all the lines and are present to prevent theft or disorder.” Did you catch the “special policemen” reference? That was the Blackshirts again, making sure Ital-

ians stayed in line even while on the move. Whenever the disappearance of personal freedom in Italy was mentioned, the answer was always the same: “The trains are running on time!” What about the dictator’s aggressive foreign policy? “But the trains are running on time!” It was the trains, always the trains, as if that one achievement made everything else OK. And so it went until Mussolini teamed up with a neighbor and unleashed World War II. Then the trains brought in hundreds of thousands of German troops, eventually leading to Italy’s military defeat and Mussolini’s downfall and death. Still, whenever Mussolini’s name comes up more than 75 years later, someone always adds, “But remember, he made the trains run on time.” Except, of course, that he didn’t. ABOUT THE WRITER J.

Health care costs increase in Oregon

Health care costs grew 49% per person across insurance markets between 2013-2019 in Oregon, outpacing national health care cost growth during the same time period, according to a new Oregon Health Authority (OHA) report. By market, Medicare costs per person grew 58%, commercial market costs per person grew 45%, and Medicaid costs per person grew the slowest at 32%. Rising prescription drug costs and the cost of professional services were the primary factors driving health care cost increases. Between 2013-2019, Oregon’s health care costs grew faster than income—while per person health care costs grew 49%, per person income grew 31.5% and average wages grew 21.6%. The report shows that for people in Oregon with commercial, employersponsored insurance, the cost of the average annual deductible and insurance premiums combined in 2019 was 10.1% of median income. “The effects of rising health costs have a direct impact on the well-being of people, families and our communities,” OHA Director Patrick Allen said, “When health care costs grow faster than income and the cost of living, they squeeze the budgets of families and businesses and reduce access to care. It’s important for Oregonians to understand how health costs are growing – and why – so we can take steps in our state to contain them.” The report documents cost growth across six major service categories and identifies which types of services are responsible for most of the cost growth in each market. Between 2013 and 2019, per person pharmacy costs grew the most (116%). Inpatient services have the highest per person costs and grew by 22% over the six years. In the commercial market, profes-

sional services contributed the most to overall cost growth between 2013 and 2019. Pharmacy, emergency department, professional services and outpatient services grew by more than 60% from 2013 to 2019, with pharmacy costs growing the most at 93%. In the Medicare market, pharmacy costs grew by 185% from 2013 to 2019, far outpacing any other service category in any of the three markets. Pharmacy costs were the main driver of Medicare cost growth in this time period, increasing from $794 to $2,261

per person. In the Medicaid market, professional services and pharmacy contributed the most to overall cost growth between 2013 and 2019. The Medicaid market saw less growth across service categories compared to the commercial market. Service categories in the Medicaid market also had lower per person costs, with the exception of inpatient services. Between 2012-2017, Oregon held costs under its section 1115 Medicaid waiver agreement with the federal gov-

ernment to a rate of growth of 3.4%, which authorized Oregon to deliver care to nearly 1 million Oregon Health Plan members through coordinated care organizations (CCOs). The cost categories measured under Oregon’s 1115 waiver are a subset of the costs included in the 2013-2019 health cost growth report. Oregon’s 1115 waiver focuses on limiting cost inflation for core Medicaid benefits paid by federal and state governments. The calculation of cost growth under the waiver does not include cat-

egories such as increases in payments to hospitals for uncompensated care, graduate medical education, emergency care for non-citizens, the cost of behavioral health prescription medication and other costs. (State health officials released a fact sheet that outlines different types of health cost calculations.) These data show that Oregon’s CCO model helped slow cost growth in the Medicaid sector. While Medicaid costs per person grew by 32%, between 2013-2019, Medicare costs per person grew 58%, nearly double.

Bureau of Land Management seeks public comment on wild horse research

The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comments for three new proposed research projects focused on developing better, longer-lasting fertility control methods for managing and protecting wild horse herds on public lands. “Developing humane, safe, effective and long-lasting fertility control methods for wild horses is a top priority for the BLM,” said Dr. David Jenkins, BLM assistant director for Resources and Planning. “I encourage all in-

terested members of the public to review this preliminary environmental assessment and submit comments about these proposed projects.” Absent intervention, wild horse herds typically grow very quickly, doubling in size every four years. There were approximately 82,000 wild horses and burros roaming public lands as of March 2022, which is more than three times the appropriate herd size. An overpopulation of wild horses can degrade important eco-

systems and lead to starvation and/or dehydration. Existing fertility control methods are short-lasting and require multiple doses, which limit their effectiveness as a management tool. Longer-lasting fertility control methods would be potent tools to better control herd growth and protect animal and land health. Two of the proposed research projects would quantify the effectiveness of vaccines for preventing pregnancies

in wild horse mares: one would build upon previous research to develop a longterm one-dose vaccine, and a second project would test a fertility control vaccine that has some preliminary studies in horses and other animals. The third proposed research project would test specialized intrauterine devices (IUDs) in a wild horse herd management area on public lands. All the proposed projects would be required to follow BLM’s animal welfare policies

when handling wild horses. Also, researchers would follow guidelines set by their respective Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees. The BLM has analyzed the potential impacts of the three proposed research projects in a draft environmental assessment (DOI-BLM-HQ-2600-20220001-EA) as required by the National Environmental Policy Act. Instructions to access the draft analysis and to submit a comment can found by visiting the BLM’s ePlanning page.

The deadline to submit comments is Aug. 22. The BLM identified the development of safe, effective and long-lasting fertility control methods as a top research priority in its 2021 Wild Horse and Burro Strategic Research Plan. The three proposed projects were submitted to the BLM by two federal agencies, four universities, and other organizations in response to a solicitation seeking new research projects in November 2021.

OCCC welcomes associate dean, bids adieu to longtime SBDC advisor Oregon Coast Community College has welcomed Melissa Batchelor, Ed.D, as the new associate dean of Academic Affairs. Her previous position was professor and program coordinator of the Education and Child Development programs at Lewis & Clark Community College in Illinois. After growing up in the Midwest, Batchelor was looking for an opportunity to live somewhere totally new. She had also been an educator for many years and was ready to step into a new challenge. “I’m excited now about totally shifting and working on the administrative side of a college,” she said. Batchelor started her educational journey at a community college herself and wants to share with people the many doors that can be opened by community college. She is a testament to how far one can go, earning two associate degrees from a community college, a bachelor’s degree in special education, a master’s degree in elementary education, and finally a doctorate degree in instructional leadership. She has taught at every level from early childhood to college, excluding high school. When she interviewed for the position, Batchelor felt that her skills and experience fit perfectly with the opportunity for her to grow professionally. Her new position will oversee the GED and ESOL programs, as well as fostering a credit program for prior learning and competency-based education. “It would allow those who are in the field who want to move toward a degree or upskill in their job or be able to move up in their career,” she said. “Melissa brings a wealth of knowledge and

experience in working with public and private partners to build programs that meet the needs of students and the community,” said Dan Lara, vice president of Academic Affairs. “Her experience as faculty and her focus on breaking down barriers to student access and student success makes her a valuable addition to OCCC. She is a creative and strategic thinker, and we are all very excited to have her join our team.” Along with welcoming Batchelor, the college is saying goodbye this summer to Small Business Management Program Coordinator Misty Lambrecht. In her 13 years with the Small Business Development Center at OCCC, Lambrecht has provided free one-on-one advising to a wide range of businesses in Lincoln County – from pest control to charter fishing boats, and everything in between. After teaching classes such as Twitter, TikTok, Starting a Childcare Business, Profitability, and Google Analytics, she is concluding her time at OCCC to focus on other projects and personal goals. “In her time with the SBDC, Misty has helped small businesses quickly adapt to take advantage of emerging technologies, and even to step away from them when they decline,” said Dave Price, OCCC’s vice president of Engagement. “She’s always been an early adopter of these new tools, and that’s been very helpful for Lincoln County’s small business community. We’ll miss her creativity and dedication to her clients – as will those clients themselves. We’re excited that those business owners will still have access to our advising team – including Wendy Ludwig, Jesse Dolin, and myself – while we go through the recruitment process to reshape the Small Business Development Center for its next

chapter. We know the Lincoln County business community joins us in thanking and saluting Misty for her work.” As to her future plans, Lambrecht has taken a part-time position with Reinventing Rural – an online organization focused on helping rural Pacific Northwest communities embrace innovation – where she’ll be teaching start-up classes and doing business advising. She’ll continue part-time advising with Linn-Benton Community College, doing bookkeeping and payroll, working on her own website design business and, if she can find the time, pursuing her love of hunting and fishing.

Meanwhile, businesses interested in taking the next Small Business Management class, a nine-month program starting in October, should contact Dave Price at 541-994-4166. The program features a series of workshops led by subject-matter experts on critical business topics ranging from taxes to sales strategy, and from financial reporting to personnel management. Participants also work one-on-one with SBDC business advisors monthly throughout the program. Questions? Call 541-994-4166 or visit oregoncoastbusiness.com.

K9 apprehends burglary suspect near Toledo Deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched at 10:56 p.m. on July 17 to a report of a burglary in progress near the 1000 block of S. Bay Road in Toledo. The female caller, who was inside the home hiding, could hear a disturbance between an unknown suspect and an adult man of the home. According to the sheriff’s office, at approximately 11:13 p.m. Deputy Landry arrived at the location and learned the suspect, identified as Ted Shipley, of Toledo, had fled the residence after two physical altercations with two separate residents of the home. Deputy Landry’s investigation further revealed Shipley was a past childhood friend of an adult daughter currently living in the home; however, he was not invited or wanted in the home. Attempts to locate Shipley were not successful during the night. At approximately 10:13 a.m. on July 18, deputies learned Shipley was

at his place of employment in Toledo, the sheriff’s office said. Deputies contacted him at the location and learned Shipley had intentionally gone into the home to reconnect with the adult daughter on his own accord. Shipley reported to deputies he believed sneaking into the home was okay. Shipley reported that, when he was confronted by the male family members in the home, he thought they were imposters. Shipley acknowledged getting into a physical altercation and breaking out a large sliding glass door in the home before leaving the residence. Deputies verbally put Shipley under arrest and asked him to comply, but he ran from deputies when they attempted to take him into

custody. Shipley was tased twice during his escape. Lincoln County’s K9 Team and Drone Team were called in and a manhunt commenced. At approximately 10:54 a.m., Shipley was seen by law enforcement entering the Yaquina River near the Toledo Airport. Shipley swam three quarters away across the river before stopping and climbing onto river channel marker 47. He appeared to rest for approximately 20 minutes before reentering the water and swimming downstream further. Lincoln County, along with troopers from the Oregon State Police, responded in a law enforcement boat which included the K9 team. Shipley made it to a mud flat in the middle of the Yaquina River and

stated he was not going to give up. K9 Ghost was released and ultimately apprehended Shipley with a K9 bite. Shipley was taken into custody and transported to Samaritan Pacific Community Hospital where he was treated for water exposure and an K9 apprehension bite to his arm. After treatment, Shipley was transported to the Lincoln County Jail where he was lodged for burglary, criminal mischief, two counts of assault in the fourth degree, five counts of menacing, stalking, resisting arrest, escape in the third degree, and interfering with a law enforcement animal. With Oregon’s passing of Senate Bill 48, no bail was set with his lodging at the jail. Shipley’s bail will be determined by a Lincoln County judge at his arraignment. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office was assisted and grateful for the help provided by Oregon State Police, Toledo Police, Newport Police and citizens who observed the activity.

I was an emotional support dog to my person until she became too ill to care for me any longer. I am a black and tan German Shepherd who is 4, know multiple commands and am learning a lot in board and train. I would likely do well with a female Shepherd and a Shepherd experienced adopter. Once I get to know you, you will see I’m exceptionally loyal and get special joy from running!

I am a affectionate, shy and sensitive American Pit Bull Terrier. I was found wandering a road in Washington state. I was adopted and returned. Not because we didn’t love one another, but they just couldn’t afford to keep me. I’m still working on my confidence and not being afraid. You should see me now! I have come so far down that road to healing because Good Samaritans picked me up and helped me when I was down and had no one who cared. In board and train I would a prefer a home without cats or children.

I’ve been described as independent, smart big hearted, goofy and a happy go lucky Great Pyrenees. Is there a human who shares my love of the great outdoors? Except when it’s wet. I don’t like wet feet! I need someone who respects that I can become anxious if someone is trying to take away my things and need to know I can trust my person first.

High Rollers: Business of the Year, others recognized at Chamber Awards Program The Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce held their Annual Meeting & Awards Program Friday, June 24. The event, themed “High Rollers”, included presentations of awards and recognition of the incoming and outgoing Chamber Board of Directors. TLC, A Division of Fibre Federal Credit Union was selected as the 2021-2022 Business of the Year for its high level of commitment to supporting many organizations in the community through donations and sponsorships and providing volunteers at local events.

The President’s Award, presented by outgoing Board President Jessica Steenkolk, was given to Al Fitzpatrick for his many years of dedication and passion that he has devoted to the Chamber and the community.

Oregon adds 8,700 jobs in June

In Oregon, nonfarm payroll employment grew by 8,700 in June, following gains averaging 6,200 jobs in the prior seven months. Monthly gains in June were largest in construction (+2,800 jobs), other services (+1,600), health care and social assistance (+1,300), and leisure and hospitality (+1,300 jobs). Government (-600 jobs) was the only major industry that shed a substantial number of jobs. As of June, Oregon has regained 94% of jobs lost at the onset of the pandemic. The U.S. has regained 98%. Oregon’s private sector is close to a full jobs recovery, having regained 98% of pandemic recession losses. Construction employment rose rapidly over the past 12 months, reaching a record of 118,700 jobs in

June, well above the pre-pandemic peak of 112,300 in February 2020. Since June 2021, construction added 8,700 jobs, or 7.9%, faster growth than the private-sector gain of 5.2%. All construction industries grew rapidly over the past 12 months, with several growing by double-digits: building finishing contractors (+13.2%), building equipment contractors (+11.5%), heavy and civil engineering construction (+10.8%), and specialty trade contractors (+10.7%). Leisure and hospitality rapidly added jobs this year and last year. It added 28,500 jobs, or 16.4%, since June 2021. Despite these gains, leisure and hospitality still accounts for a large share of the jobs Oregon has not recovered since early 2020, with

14,600 jobs left to recover to reach the prior peak month of February 2020. The industry has regained 87% of jobs lost early in the pandemic. Health care and social assistance added jobs rapidly throughout the first half of this year—gaining 7,900 jobs through June—following a stagnant period throughout 2021. Most of the gains were seen in ambulatory health care services, which added 4,000 jobs during the first six months of this year, and in social assistance, which added 2,400 jobs. Oregon’s unemployment rate of 3.6% in June was essentially un-

changed from 3.5%, as revised, in May. Oregon’s unemployment rate has been below 4.0% for the past four

months. The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.6% in March, April, May, and June.

Newport’s first Pride seeks sponsorships

The Newport Pride Committee is seeking all LGBTQ+ friendly businesses and individuals to help sponsor and underwrite costs associated with planning Newport’s first-ever Pride Celebration, which will be held from Sept. 16-18. Sponsors can contribute $200 or give that in-kind value in gift cards or products or hotel stays for drawings. Sponsors will receive a colorful window cling sticker to display their early investment and inaugural support for the LGBTQ+ community. Among the activities planned include movie screenings of “Kinky Boots” and “Love, Simon” at the Newport Performing Arts Center, Drag Brunches at Zach’s Bistro, a Super Queer Fun Fair at the Newport Recreation Center, a Prom, and a Family & Friends Picnic at South Beach State Park. All events are open and welcoming to all. “It’s beyond time that Newport holds its first Pride. Lincoln City and Yachats have held Pride events. A group of us started planning in 2019 for 2020, but the pandemic

pushed that dream off a bit. Now we are excited and have so much enthusiasm and buy-in for Newport. We hope to be known as ‘the friendliest Pride,’” said Pride organizer and Newport City Councilor CM Hall. Traditionally, Pride is celebrated in June; however, the Newport Pride Committee’s goal was to schedule the Pride events during the coastal shoulder season to support area businesses and appeal to locals and visitors alike. Becoming a visible sponsor of Pride comes with increased consumer loyalty. According to Community Marketing & Insights, an LGBTQ market research firm, in 2019, LGBTQ+ adults globally held a combined buying power of approximately $3.9 trillion. LGBTQ+ consumers are savvy shoppers, and research shows they are more faithful to brands and businesses that are open and intentional about their support.

Waldport Chamber of Commerce Charity Golf Tournament held Aug. 27 The Waldport Chamber Charity Golf Tournament returns to Crestview Golf Club in Waldport on Saturday, Aug. 27. Presented this year by Pioneer Connect, this fun, 9-hole tournament starts at 10 a.m. with an awards luncheon and raffle after play. The chamber is excited to announce that Dennis and Denese Shostle, proprietors of the Lazy Dayz Cafe in Waldport, will be preparing and serving lunch. They will have their smoker/grill on the patio and be ready to feed hungry golfers (and volunteers) with a special menu: smoked salmon atop a bed of spring greens, with a side of pasta salad, dinner rolls and strawberry shortcake for dessert. YUM! This year, the chamber will also have a beverage cart on course with beer, hard cider and soft drinks. Power Auto Group will once again sponsor the Hole-In-One Car on the 9th hole. Every registered golfer receives a welcome package upon check-in and prizes will be awarded to each player on the top three teams. The awards luncheon will conclude with another fun raffle prize drawing. If you would like to donate a prize for the raffle, please let the chamber know. You may now register to play and/or sponsor the tournament online: https://findyourselfinwaldport.com/community-events/ To reserve your sponsorship and playing spots, please contact Tom Fullmer at 503-789-9686 or director@waldportchamber.org www.findyourselfinwaldport.com

Toledo Public Library now begins digital audio archive The Toledo Public Library has begun building a digital audio archive to document the stories and voices of Lincoln County. Lincoln County residents are invited to record their personal stories, family histories, folk tales and songs. The library will use specialized microphones and recording equipment to ensure the best audio quality possible. The files will be stored on a dedicated hard drive, which will be available for future patrons and researchers to explore in much the same way as the library’s microfilm collection. “Digital media can be finicky, and one of the ways around that is redundancy,” said Assistant Director Harrison Baker. “To address that, we’ve started reaching out to

potential partner institutions in the area who might want to host a copy of the archive in the future.” The Toledo Public Library is open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Those who wish to participate in the project can call the Library at 541-336-

World rhythm concert and drum circle July 30 in Newport

The Newport/Oregon Coast Community Drum Circle will present the July edition of its 12th annual Summer Celebration Outdoor Concert Series from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 30, at Newport’s Coast Park in the historic Nye Beach District. The summer-long, monthly free performances, featuring the not-for-profit drum circle’s popular Thunder & Lightness World Beat Ensemble, became something of a Nye Beach institution as a free street performance sponsored by the Nye Beach Merchants Association in 2009 and then, for nearly a decade, as a full-fledged monthly summer variety show on the large outdoor theater stage in the Courtyard at the old Café Mundo. Since the closing of Café Mundo, the event has continued in a variety of locations, including online for a year as it dodged the initial COVID-19 outbreak. This year’s June event, and two of last year’s shows, were at the Literacy Park Amphitheater behind the Newport Public Library. This Saturday’s performance will be at Newport’s newest park, officially named Coast Park but better known as “Pirate Park” for its pirate ship playground feature. The new park is at 100 SW Coast Street, next door to the Newport Performing Arts Center. Drum Circle Coordinator Chander Davis said the park has a small performance area with amphitheater type seating and audience members can bring lawn chairs or blankets to spread out on the grassy areas. The park also has picnic tables, a state-of-the art playground, parking, and bathroom access. “It’s very much a family-oriented park,” Davis said. “And that’s perfect for us because we are very much a family-oriented ensemble that appeals to all ages and musical tastes.” Saturday’s performance will feature the group’s usual high-energy multicultural traditional and indigenous rhythm and song with Davis on percussion, Mary-Beth Nickel on the Native American flutes, and special musical guests. Audience members are invited to bring their own acoustic hand drums and light percussion instruments to jam along with the performers.
