Fire victims still look to the Grange for assistance Dr. Karen Gray, Superintendent of LCSD

LCSD plans path ahead Jeremy Ruark Country Media

Lincoln County School District expects to fully reopen schools to full-day, five-day, in-person learning this fall. With student registration in August and school starting right after Labor Day, The News Guard checked in with LCSD Superintendent Dr. Karen Gray.

The News Guard: What lessons are you and your team taking from the COVID-19 experience that could help in the district›s path ahead?

Dr. Gray: We have learned a lot of new things but I will list a few: 1. Kids learn better in front of a teacher in general.

2. Keeping our learning environment super clean has great payoffs. Less overall illness and better health.

3. People like the option to meet via Zoom.

4. Kids and families like

Amber Deyo The News Guard Editor For the past 10 months, every afternoon, seven days a week, the non-profit Cascade Relief Team (CRT) housed at the Salmon River Grange Distribution Center is open to provide fire victims with essential personal and household items.

Manager Mary Gamizzi said there were more than 300 families in the county affected by the Echo Mountain fire and their needs are ongoing and significant.

“You can’t leave these people unhelped,” Gamizzi said.

The majority of items in the Grange are donations, but they do get some cash, and they buy cleaning supplies, paper products and personal care items at the Dollar Store. They have lotions and soaps donated by Touch of Mink and handmade quilts. They also do a free raffle each month with big items like this month, they have a garage door opener or Pampered Chef items.

Gamizzi is a fire victim herself.

She used to work in retail and has carefully arranged and organized the donations. They have everything from dishes to socks to books to small appliances, as well as sleeping bags and tents. They have dog and cat food, and get deliveries from the non-profit FIDO pet food bank.

They will not turn anyone away, even if they aren’t from the immediate area. She helped a young man who lost everything in Lyons. He said he was unable to get any assistance

“There’s people here who relate to him,” Gamizzi said.

He was there with his cousin and able to get some desperately needed items.

“I put a smile on a face, and that makes me feel good,” Gamizzi said.

“No, you put a smile on my heart,” he said.

Gamizzi also collects spare change to purchase items.

“A hundred dollars in the Dollar Store can help 100 people,” she said.

At the regular meeting of the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners July 19, Lt. Jamie Russell, commander of the Lincoln County Jail, addressed the board as July 18-24 was declared Pretrial Services Week.

Lincoln County’s pretrial services program was funded through a Bureau of Justice assistance grant, Russell explained, consisting of two pretrial specialists and a pretrial counselor and supervised by a corrections sergeant.

A partnership with Communities Helping Addicts Negotiate Change Effectively provides a full-time peer mentor to help with client needs and support.

When housing was identified as a barrier for many clients, a partnership with Lincoln County Health and Community Services enabled the team to secure a house. Since February of 2019, 69 clients have been housed — the pretrial team fulfilling a critical role in maintaining contact with and offering services to those who have been cited and released for criminal offenses or released from jail prior to their court dates.

The pretrial team has a passion for their work, Russell told the commissioners, constantly challenging themselves to think outside

Riding to show his love for community colleges David Rupkalvis Country Media

Fernando Rojas Galvan has two loves in life – being outdoors and teaching at a community college.

This summer, he combined the two while raising money for his college, Clatsop Community College. To do both, he decided to ride his bike around the state, stopping at every community college on the way.

He arrived at Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC) around 3 p.m. on July 22 with a group of community members waiting for him, including the Lincoln City Cheer Team, led by Coach Tonia Anderson, and others.

Mayor Susan Wahlke attended, along with Sandy Gruber,

a member of the Lincoln City Community Days Committee and chair of the upcoming Lincoln City Parade.

After talking with the crowd and the cheer team members about his efforts to raise funds for textbooks, he then met with Dave Price, OCCC Vice President of Engagement and Entreprenuership , Dan Lara, OCCC Vice President of Academic Affairs, and Dr. Andres Oroz, Vice President of Student Affairs.

At the Lincoln City Community Center, he was surprised by a vocal reception by the Lincoln City Rec Kids and firefighters from the North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District.

“Those meetings with those children were the highlight of my whole trip,” Fer-

nando said later that night.

His ride also shone a spotlight on textbook costs in general, and how Oregon’s Community Colleges are addressing it. OCCC has a longstanding commitment to this effort, and currently provides no-cost or low-cost textbooks for half of their courses.

Before coming to OCCC, Galvan stopped at Southwestern Oregon Community in Coos Bay. He was greeted by more than a dozen staff members and students, many holding signs welcoming Galvan to the campus.

“I’m thrilled to be here,” Galvan told the crowd. “I was looking at your website, and I can’t believe you guys get people from all over the place.”

Galvan said the crowd

was the biggest he has seen at any of his stops. He then explained why community colleges mean so much to him.

“I’m the oldest of six,” he explained. “My father never attended school formally in his whole life. My father thought to be a man, you had to hold down a job and to be a real man, you had to hold down two jobs.”

Growing up, Galvan picked apples in fields across Oregon. He said that taught him a lot of lessons he still uses.

“I don’t care how difficult things get,” he said. “I will not be the fastest person, I will not be the smartest person, but I will get there.”

County the box while providing a safe and secure environment for clients.

“Lincoln County pretrial services gave me an opportunity that jail couldn’t provide me. It gave me a chance to get to know myself, and most importantly, to forgive myself when I take accountability,” Russell read testimony from a prior client.

“Since I’ve been released from jail, I’ve been able to accomplish more than I ever thought possible. Today, I remember where I was, and I look at where I am now and can’t wait for what t the future brings. I’ve learned when I take accountability, I am present, and when I am present, I am living.”

Russell told the commissioners this is exactly what the team hopes and wishes for all our pretrial clients. “We know

From page 1 we won’t have this impact on everyone, but you never know when something you say on an action you show is the time it will stick.”

Russell continued, “This team continues to amaze me, and I hope you agree we should all be proud of our pretrial team.”

Board Chair Doug Hunt agreed. We heard evidence today, he said, that the pretrial program really makes a difference and is a significant factor in reducing recidivism. “Keep up the good work,” Hunt added.

Commissioner Kaety Jacobson acknowledged every few months the board receives a similar such heartfelt letter written by a client or a family member, expressing appreciation for the program and its services.

called the Compass Online School this fall.

We are super excited about it! It will host up to 30 students per grade K-6 and a little more grades 7-12. It will also boast a GED prep program. Grades K-6 will be taught by LCSD teachers and will be a combination of synchronous and asynchronous teaching and learning. 7-12 will be Edmentum based as it was for the last five years. We encourage all students to come back to in-person learning.

The News Guard: What health and safety policies will the district continue and why?

Dr. Gray: The district has no plans to discontinue our cleaning protocols nor to reduce our custodial staffing. It has helped keep everyone safe and healthy, and we will continue our practices. ODE came out with their latest RSSL Advisory this on July 22, and this will give decision-making autonomy to the school districts and increase accountability. We will need to work with our local public health agency to ensure we are on the same page when deciding. But no safety protocols for September. This will be announced via district communication. We will make sure that we send them to you. We are ready to get back to school full time and to keep moving our school district forward.

“Right now, I hold three degrees, but I can tell you the best money I have ever spent was at community college,” Galvan said. “The best professors are at community colleges. I am passionate about community colleges.”

Galvan said community colleges sometimes get a bad rep from major universities, but he said the two can work together.

“Too often, people want to shoot for the stars,” he said. “We can get to the stars, and we can get to the stars at a place like this. I think community colleges represent a great opportunity for students in the world.”

After riding through a major heat wave, Galvan said he was excited to be on the coast where the temperature was much lower. He said being on the road had been exciting. Even while on his tour, he has also kept up his schedule, teaching three classes via the Internet for Clatsop Community College.

“I’m an active person,” he said. “I need to be moving. I thought, what can I do to combine my

a lot of communication from their schools and from the district. The more the better.

5. Our technology is excellent. What the Lincoln county area needs help with is connectivity.

6. Teaching and learning using technology has vast implications for the future. We intend to keep developing this.

7. You cannot please everyone. However, it seemed that no matter what decisions we made throughout the last 15 months (before school ended), we made about half the folks upset.

8. Our kids with different abilities and whose first language was not English suffered the most education interruptions.

9. Kids are amazingly resilient. They just blew our minds with how adaptable they were.

The News Guard: What format for learning can students and parents expect in the next school year ahead? Will there be options for distant learning? If so, why, if not, why?

Dr. Gray: The format is in person five days per week. There are still 3 percent caps on students wishing to attend online charters, and we will follow them. We are starting our own LCSD K-12 Online School

Galvan’s tour will fall one college short, but he will still have finished more than 1,500 miles and visited 16 colleges in July. All the while, he has been raising money through Bandit Riding For Books. He said his efforts have raised more than $45,000 for Clatsop Community College this summer.

“Today, I’ll ride until my heart is content and I’ll stop.

Taking a gander around at my surroundings, it’s just breathtaking,” he said.

He said there have been some challenges on the trip, such as riding up mountain passes into a headwind with the temperature over 100.

But there have also been some exhilarating times.

“Do you remember what it’s like to be 12 and go down a hill very fast?” he said. “Riding down the hills has been scary but mostly exhilarating.”

By continuing to teach three English as a second language courses this month, Galvan said his students have been a part of his adventure.

“They know about my travels,” he said. “Some of them are asking me, ‘Teacher Fernando, where are you tonight?’”

One of the take one, leave one rock gardens is located at Shelley Shandras’s studio. Many residents who participate in the rock drops paint positive words of encouragement on their rock.

2nd annual Labor Day Rock Drop welcomes all to “Spread the Love” Amber Deyo The News Guard Editor

Random acts of kindness can take many forms, and a group of folks in the Lincoln City area will be sharing their art on Labor Day weekend for the second annual “Spreading the Love” Rock Drop.

Anyone can participate in the painting, hiding and finding of rocks.

“Lincoln City Rocks” is group on Facebook that has been around for about five years. One of the moderators, Shelley Shandra, has organized rock drops for Easter and New Years Eve, as well as rock drops as a thank you to the firefighters and for #OtisStrong.

On Labor Day weekend last year, Shandra estimates that nearly 3,000 rocks were hidden by rock fairies.

And many were found. The majority of the rocks have a message on the back to tell people where they can post a picture of their find in the Facebook group.

Because a person has to become

a member of the group to post the photo, there are more than 4,000 members. Shandra said Lincoln City has about 50 regular painters. For the upcoming rock drop, she asked for artists to commit to painting at least 30 rocks. There are also rock fairies who will hide rocks if someone isn’t physically able to do so.

“It only takes about 15 minutes to hide 30 or 40 rocks,” she said.

“And we make sure every section of town gets rocks.”

While a rock drop will cover the majority of Lincoln City, there are places who have requested to not have rocks, and so they don’t go everywhere. There are currently 10 “take one, leave one” rock gardens from Otis to Depot Bay. Shandra has a rock garden at her home and studio where she makes stained glass.

“People leave the most gorgeous rocks in my garden,” she said.

This is a family-friendly event and everyone is encouraged to participate and fill the town with their artwork.

Wildfire season: Governor urges preparedness Hilary Dorsey Country Media

Last year, the Echo Mountain Complex was ignited during the massive wind event that impacted western Oregon in September 2020.

The fire consumed 2,552 acres. While there were no fatalities, 293 residential structures were determined a total loss, 22 sustained damage and numerous outbuildings, automobiles, RVs, trailers, boats and other personal property were destroyed.

As of this week, there were currently nine wildfires, consuming over 450,000 acres, burning across Oregon. The largest, at nearly 400,00 acres is the Bootleg Fire in Southern Oregon. That fire began July 7 northwest of Klamath Falls and has destroyed 21 homes and several other buildings, according to fire officials. The Bootleg Fire is now one of Oregon’s largest ever wildfires.

“We must be prepared. Each and every one of us,” Gov. Kate Brown said during a media briefing concerning Oregon’s wildfires.

Teams from Utah and California have partnered with Oregon to respond to the Bootleg Fire in the Fremont-Winema National Forest in Lakeview. Fire officials said the wildfire, which is believed to have been triggered by lighting, was over 30 percent contained by Wednesday morning.

“The weather conditions – windy and dry with lightning – are truly problematic,” Brown said during the media briefing Tuesday, July 20.

“It’s shaping up to be another difficult wildfire season.”

There are extensive drought conditions throughout the state, with 19 counties in drought emergencies, according to Oregon fire officials.

Drought impact Department of Forestry Fire Chief Doug Grafe said the drought conditions across Oregon are driving the fire potential.

“Ninety percent of the state is in exceptional, extreme or severe drought conditions,” Grafe said.

The heat dome in late June – with 100 plus degrees – propelled the state into early fire conditions. There have been 580 fires to date.

Grange

The Bootleg Fire in Southern Oregon has burned nearly 400,000 acres.

“The remainder of the season continues to look above normal dry and above normal temperatures,” Grafe said. “This is not going to return to normal anytime soon.”

The Elbow Creek Fire began July 15 and has grown over 16,000 acres and is 15 percent contained, Grafe said. The fire is in the Grande Ronde River drainage near Mud Springs. A fire fighting task force from Columbia County joined other firefighters at that location this week. Previously the Columbia County team had been assisting at the Grandview Fire, reported July 11, located near Sisters. That wildfire was close to full contained this week at approximately 6,032 acres.

“Being prepared is one of the best ways you can help frontline firefighters do theirs jobs,” Brown said. “Make a plan with your family, sign up for local alerts at oralert.gov so you’re aware of fires in your community.”

Fire officials in Lincoln County and across

the state continued to urge everyone to be aware, to be cautious and to be prepared due to the heightened wildfire dangers.

The following emergency preparation recommendations can be found online at Ready.gov • Recognize Warnings and Alerts There are several ways to receive alerts.

Download the FEMA app and receive real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide. Sign up for community alerts in your area and be aware of the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA)- which requires no-sign up.

• Pay attention to air quality alerts.

• Make an emergency plan • Make sure everyone in your household knows and understands what to do if you need to quickly evacuate.

• Review your evacuation zone

You may have to evacuate quickly due to a wildfire. Learn your evacuation routes, practice with household, pets, and identify where you will go.

If you must evacuate to a public shelter, try to bring items that can help protect you and others in the shelter from COVID-19, such as hand sanitizer, cleaning materials, and two masks per person. Children under 2 years old and people who have trouble breathing should not wear masks.

• Follow the instructions from local authorities. They will provide the latest recommendations based on the threat to your community and appropriate safety measures.

• Review important documents • Make sure your insurance policies and personal documents like ID are up to date.

• Make copies and keep them in a secure password protected digital space.

• Gather supplies • Have enough supplies for your household, include medication, disinfectant supplies, masks, pet supplies in your go bag or car trunk. Being prepared allows you to address smaller medical issues at home, alleviating the burden on urgent care centers and hospitals.

• Strengthen your home • Use fire-resistant materials to build, renovate or make repairs.

• Find an outdoor water source with a hose that can reach any area of your property.

• Create a fire-resistant zone that is free of leaves, debris or flammable materials for at least 30 feet from your home.

• Designate a room that can be closed off from outside air. Close all doors and windows. Set up a portable air cleaner to keep indoor pollution levels low when smoky conditions exist.

Want to do something positive that will really make you feel good and be good for you (and a lot of others as well)? Write to your senators and representatives in Congress to support the Clean Energy for America Act and the INVEST in America Act!!

Clean energy is the fastest growing industry in America and provides a huge opportunity for high-quality union jobs that will help rebuild the middle class. Some of those good paying jobs include Building 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations, Manufacturing & installing millions of solar panels and tens of thousands of wind turbines, Replacing the lead pipes in every community, upgrading 4 million buildings to be energy efficient, and Manufacturing 40 million electric vehicles in the USA by 2030!

The Oregon legislature has made a great start with HB 2021, relating to clean energy. Now it’s time for the US Congress to do their part. An overwhelming, bipartisan majority of Americans support infrastructure investments, and passage of the Clean Energy for America Act will mean clean air, clean water, reduce the current climate crisis and ensure a better, healthier life for our children (and our grandchildren)!

Several free COVID-19 vaccination clinics to be offered in Lincoln County Vaccines are also available in more private settings Research around the country has shown that some of those who are unvaccinated fear losing their friend and family relationships if it’s known they are getting the vaccine.

If people are feeling anxious about going to one of these clinics, or would prefer a little more privacy, one can go to Samaritan’s urgent care clinics any time they are open, or their own Samaritan clinic to get a vaccine privately. Some pharmacies also have vaccines that may offer more privacy. The vaccine is always free, no matter where it is received.

No ID or social security number is required, and they don’t check immigration status. Free COVID-19 testing is also available.

All three vaccines are offered at all of the upcoming clinics. Almost all of them

have some type of incentive.

The Pfizer vaccine is for ages 12 and older, while Moderna and Johnson & Johnson are for 18 and older only.

Upon reflection: Retired HHS leaders take a look back on highs and lows With the benefit of rest and hindsight, the two leaders who guided Lincoln County Health and Human Services through some remarkable highs and lows reflected recently on COVID-19, community health, and retirement.

In April, Rebecca Austen retired as the county health department director, followed in June by Rebecca McBee-Wilson, who had served as the health center director. Affectionately known as the “two Rebeccas,” the women had worked as co-leaders of the county’s largest department since restructuring in 2018.

“The two of them came to commissioners with a new plan of co-directors and their creative vision proved to be effective at a time when the HHS department was experiencing budget shortfalls, staff turnover and turmoil. Their leadership proved to be strong and effective at a time when it was needed,” said Lincoln County Chair

Rebeccca Austen Doug Hunt. “Their service is deeply appreciated and recognized,” he added.

Prior to the restructuring, McBee-Wilson came to the county in 2010 as the Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) director, first overseeing primary care services and then later adding behavioral health. Austen joined the county in 2013 as the public health division director.

Both brought specialized skills and experiences in healthcare. McBee-Wilson had previously worked as a healthcare administrator in the Portland metro area.

Austen had worked as a public health nurse before becoming a nurse consultant for the State of Oregon.

“The two Rebeccas brought stability and vision to our Health and Human Services department after a time of turmoil,” said Commissioner Claire Hall.

That departmental turmoil would be eclipsed a few years later, when a pandemic permeated the globe and Lincoln County was no exception. While today county health officials continue to provide health services, education, and vaccinations for COVID-19, the two women can now reflect on the challenging early days of the pandemic.

As health department director, virus response was priority one for Austen and her staff. Just a few years prior, the department had worked to obtain accreditation by the national Public Health Accreditation Board.

“Getting accredited was probably the most exciting and rewarding accomplishment and it will continue to be important for the health department,” she explained, adding that it was “a heavy lift” but the process proved invaluable during COVID-19.

“Getting accredited is what made us so functional and able to deal with one of the largest outbreaks in the state in a fairly quick manner,” Austen recalled.

“We had built this quality improvement setting where you don’t blame people, but you are always asking customers how we can improve. When the pandemic

Rebecca McBee-Wilson hit, we had an environment where everyone helped each other because we had developed this culture of cooperation.”

Commissioners took note of that culture of support within HHS. “COVID was hard. I don’t think there is any public official in the world that would say differently,” said Commissioner Kaety Jacobson. “What made it easier was Rebecca Austen.

Her knowledge, her care for her community, her ability to lead in hard times, and her ability to advocate for our most vulnerable populations.”

While Austen and her staff were responding to the ever-evolving fight against COVID-19, McBee-Wilson and her team were continuing to care for the health of the community.

“We continued providing both physical health

and mental health services throughout the pandemic” she pointed out. “Much of that care was delivered inperson. We had never provided virtual visits before, and we had to transform that overnight.”

McBee-Wilson said being nimble was key and credits the staff as “really dedicated, passionate, and smart folks who could figure anything out. They identified what was needed and developed a solution for it. They were and are amazing.”

It’s that spirit that Jacobson said was key to a smooth health center operation.

“Rebecca McBee-Wilson has a been a joy to work with, always willing to help problem solve, to allow a new commissioner to bounce things off of her and always, always positive,” the commission remarked.

Although she describes the transformation of healthcare in her later career as an “invigorating” time, McBee-Wilson is now looking forward to the stimulation of travel to far-off places in retirement.

As for Austen, she describes herself as a “good putzer” and looks forward to reading, gardening, and getting to know her neighbors.

Dr. Philip Mills, who owns Grumblefish Music with his daughter, Abigail Hostetter, takes time away from repairing an instrument to chat with customers.

Grumblefish Music seeks to share the magic of music Amber Deyo The News Guard Editor

In February of 2020, Dr. Philip Mills and his daughter Abigail Hostetter, opened Grumblefish Music.

“We thought, it could be fun,” he said. “I’m sure we’ll make some money sometime, somewhere in the future, but it really wasn’t about making the money so much as we just wanted a music store where people could come and kids could learn.”

With the realization that there would be supply chain issues due to COVID-19 – like making an order in September and it not arriving until January – they became dealers for several brands. While they’ve still had some issues getting parts, over time they’ve acquired a rather extensive inventory.

“Whenever somebody would come in and say to us, do you have such and such, we might say no, but we’ll get it,” Mills said.

They have a large selection of guitars and also carry violins, stands, cowbell, cowbell holders, harmonicas, drums, baritone ukuleles, keyboards, children’s guitars, three quarter size electric guitars and more. He added some electronics, like universal adapters for when you lose a cord, even if they aren’t really something a music store carries, but because no one in town carries them and people kept asking them about it.

As a practice, he said they don’t carry things if they don’t think it’s a good deal for people.

“You can buy garbage on the internet, which, by the way a lot of people do buy guitars on the internet, and then they come here to have me fix them,” he said.

When you buy a guitar online, they go through different environments and climates and in the transition. They aren’t necessarily damaged, but often need to be reset, he said. And they do clean and repair instruments.

He said the instruments they carry are a little more expensive than those online, but are worth it.

“My first banjo was a real cheapo, and you can’t believe the trouble I went through with that thing. So I figured, I’m not doing that here,” he said.

It’s a similar situation with their ukuleles.

“The minute you strum (a cheap one) it goes out of tune, and you’ve got to keep re-tuning, it’s a piece of junk you’re not doing anybody favors,” he said.

If someone wants to buy a guitar, but aren’t sure about it, he said he’ll encourage the customer to think about it and come back in two or three days. He said even if they don’t still have it, they’ll get another one.

“The reason why we do that is not because we’re the world’s worst salespeople, but we want to have a relationship with the people that come in here,” he said. “We want everyone to walk out of here satisfied and feeling like they got a good deal.”

Mills and his family moved to

Lincoln City six years ago. He and his wife were living in Eastern Oregon, and he was offered a job in the area as a teacher for the deaf and hard of hearing.

“I really, really took to Lincoln city.

The first time I was here, I thought it was such a great little town, and my opinion has not changed. I still like it,” Mills said.

Mills has several teachers on board for different instruments. He is particular proud to have Richard Paris, a.k.a. “Wavy Gravy,” on board.

“This guy’s really good. He’s two things: He’s an excellent guitar player, and he’s an excellent teacher,” he said.

“That guy could explain it to me …

I’m like Forrest Gump … he explained it in ways I understood.”

Paris teaches guitar, mandolin, bass guitar and banjo. Mills said Paris knows just about everything about every instrument really, and he’s very well-versed in music.

“To me there’s something magical about playing a musical instrument, I think it’s because when I was a kid I couldn’t do it. I really wanted to, and it took me a long time to learn as an adult,” he said. “I really get the hang of it now because I play all the time. It’s not uncommon for me to sit play on my banjo for like two hours.”

They are currently looking for an assistant manager to cover the store when he goes back to work in the fall. They’re open seven days a week.

Sunday is a shorter day, but he said people seem to appreciate that they are open.
