Sheriff reduces patrol deputy responses JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
T
he Lincoln County Sheriff Office has reduced patrol deputy response to non-criminal calls for service and certain lower-level criminal complaints. Deputies began the reduction July 31, focusing primarily on responding to emergency and in-progress calls for service. Examples of non-criminal calls that will no longer receive Lincoln County deputy response include: • Noise complaints (including barking dogs) when there are no animal services deputies on duty • Camping complaints • Civil disputes • Home or business alarms • General welfare checks • Drug complaints that are based on personal use amounts • Non-criminal traffic crashes will generally not receive deputy response Criminal complaints involving minor property crimes with no suspects will be referred to the online reporting system. Citizens can expect delays from deputies contacting them to provide a case number. Deputies will be reprioritizing their available time for emergency response, including life and property threatening situations, according to Sheriff Curtis Landers. The reduction in service is due to what Landers classified as an extraordinarily low number of certified/sworn deputies available to handle emergency calls “We have been evaluating this situation for over a year and it doesn’t seem to be improving,” Landers said. “We have multiple contracts and a taxing district for law enforcement services that we need to uphold.”
Agency responsibilities In addition to the county’s regular service area, which includes all areas outside the cities of Lincoln City, Newport, and Toledo, the sheriff’s office also provides contractual enhanced law enforcement services for: • Two deputies for the City of Waldport. • One deputy funded by a voterapproved tax district and one paid by the Confederated Tribe of Siletz Indians for the Siletz Law Enforcement District. • A forest deputy. • Two marine deputies primarily funded by the Oregon Marine Board. • A school resource deputy covering Toledo, and Waldport schools, half funded by the Lincoln County School District. “We are very fortunate to have these contracts and we want to make sure we are fulfilling them,” Landers said. “Even if we have every position filled and trained, twelve patrol deputies are not enough to fulfill our mission to enhance public safety, reduce the fear and impact of crime, and improve quality of life.” The number of patrol deputies funded by the Lincoln County general fund has relatively stayed the same over the last 30 years even as the county population and calls for service continued to grow, according to Landers. “If not for the multiple contracts, our patrol staffing would not have increased over the years,” he said, adding that the limited deputies available and resources needed throughout the county creates pressure for deputies to be promptly available for the most urgent needs. “We were spreading our resources too thin and were unable to adequately and consistently uphold our commitments,” Landers said. “Deputies assigned to contract areas will no longer be able to assist outside of their contract areas except for emergency situations.” Hiring challenges
Lincoln County Sheriff Curtis Landers. Courtesy photo. Landers said the cause of the sheriff’s office depleted staffing can be attributed to multiple factors. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office has 12 patrol deputy positions funded by the county’s general fund for nearly 1,000 square miles of patrol area in Lincoln County. Due to staffing turnover, which include retirements, normal attrition, deputies transferring to other areas, or leaving the law enforcement profession, combined with past hiring restrictions caused by county budget constraints, the sheriff’s office is not able to maintain staffing at adequate levels. Currently the sheriff’s patrol division has five patrol deputies in training and three vacant positions. It takes approximately one year for a deputy to complete training and begin patrolling on solo status. “We want our deputies to be proactive again which will help reduce crime,” Landers said “Responding to every call we receive spreads our resources very thin and makes us unable to be proactive and able to respond to in-progress emergency situations. We hope this will improve service to those most threatening situations.” Final solutions distant Landers said while he has repeatedly
Lincoln County to consider donating property for Habitat for Humanity HILARY DORSEY Editor
L
incoln County will vote Wednesday, Aug. 3, whether to approve transfer/donation of property to Habitat for Humanity for the creation of affordable housing. The board of commissioners discussed the project during a meeting Wednesday, July 27. Brian Gardner, assistant county counsel, said the foreclosed property can either be put up for foreclosure sale or be donated for low-income housing, social services or child care services. “The subject property that we’re looking at was taken through foreclosure,” Gardner said. The property is located in the 4400 block of Salmon River Hwy. The assessed value is $54,950. Gardner was approached to look at a transfer of property to Habitat for Humanity for low-income housing. “For Lincoln County, it doesn’t do us any good to have foreclosed properties,” Gardner said. “We can’t do anything with them. If they’re foreclosed on, we basically have the option of selling them, keeping them but not doing anything with them which can create a liability issue, [or] getting back in the tax walls.” With this proposal, the county has some assurance of something to be developed in a speedy process. The state will work with Habitat to build housing for a wildfire survivor. “I’ve been engaged by Oregon Housing Community Services to help them create housing in the wildfire-
impacted counties, including Jackson, Lincoln, Lane and Marion counties,” said Tom Kemper, a housing consultant on the project. “We pursued manufactured home parts, tiny home villages and other housing alternatives.” Kemper said the state entered into a contract to make 140 modular homes. They committed to fund the development cost for two modular homes in Lincoln County. They will donate the modular unit to a local nonprofit – in this case, Habitat for Humanity. This home will be dedicated to a wildfire survivor. The development has to be done quickly. The Habitat for Humanity Board of
Directors has approved of the project pending the property donation. Once they have a contract from the state, they can approve that contract. “I’m excited to see this hopefully move forward,” Commissioner Kaety Jacobson said. The commissioners will make a decision on whether to transfer the property Wednesday, Aug. 3. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

what type of financial steps we would need to take,” he said. “What we need to do first is get to the staffing levels that we are funded for, and then reevaluate where we are at.” With salary and benefits, a deputy position cost an estimated $80,000 annually, according to Landers. “We know we still will need more people even if we are fully staffed,” he said. “The main challenges will be funding as well hiring. We really need to give the service reduction plan a chance and let the dust settle. It is important to ensure to the public that we are still available to respond to their emergency calls. That’s why we are doing this.” The sheriff’s office operates with 29 deputies and contracted staff, the sheriff, a lieutenant, patrol commanders, and three sergeants.

City council to consider parking, traffic control measures on NW Quay Drive HILARY DORSEY Editor
L
incoln City Council will consider Monday, Aug. 8, a resolution that would establish parking and traffic control measures for a portion of NW Quay Drive, from Hwy 101 to NW 32nd Street. The resolution would prohibit on-street parking on both sides of the street of NW Quay Drive between Hwy 101 and NW 32nd Street. The council discussed the resolution Monday, July 25, and voted to consider it during the next meeting. This is a residential neighborhood near a commercial development, Oceanlake Veterinary Clinic, separated by NW Quay Drive. The right of way is 30 feet wide. The pavement is between 16-20 feet wide. The city standards require a minimum 20 foot travel lane. The city engineer determined there is inadequate street width to permit on-street parking on either side of the street. It was recommended that the council prohibit on-street parking on both sides of Quay Drive from Hwy 101 to NW 32nd Street. Several citizens voiced their concerns about the resolution during the public comment period. Concerns included not having enough room for emergency vehicles to pass through if the parking is allowed, the narrowness of the road and a lack of notice to the public. Oceanlake Veterinary Clinic would like to continue parking along the street. City Attorney Richard Appicello said the city has been conducting traffic control surveys over the last six years. “In the last couple of years especially, we had a bunch of traffic control resolutions in Olivia Beach,” Appicello said. “The council actually had a work session on parking in the fall of 2020, I believe.” After the work session, staff came back with recommended traffic control measures for certain segments. The code is clear that the council has the authority to regulate right of way, Appicello added. The city has not granted any uses for parking in the right of way for Oceanlake Veterinary Clinic. “We do traffic control based upon actual measurement of the right of way and safety and city engineer considerations,” Appicello said. “When these things get brought to our attention, we exercise traffic control authority.”

Mayor Susan Wahlke said notice was not required but there was a verbal agreement to give neighbors and the veterinary clinic a week’s notice. The public works department sent a courtesy notice to neighbors of the city council meeting. The letter referenced the resolution. Appicello said there was a reference during public comment that public works told the clinic they could park along the street but the city has not granted any uses for parking for the clinic. “The way our code is written now, we need 20 feet of unobstructed right of way,” Public Works Director Stephanie Reid said. “Quay is currently paved between 18-20 feet wide only. The entire right of way is 30 feet wide.” Because of the way the right of way sits, there is no room for a car to park without impacting that 20 feet, Reid added. This is from the fire code. “The off-street parking requirement is specifically one space per 400 square feet of useful floor area, plus one space per employee,” Planning & Community Development Director Anne Marie Skinner said. “When the applicant submitted the development review application, they showed 16 off-street parking spaces. Their application provided the calculations showing that 16 off-street parking spaces were required.” The clinic had stated that they had 11 employees. Eleven of the 16 spaces met the requirement. Reid said the intent was that the clinic would not park along the street. Councilor Mitch Parsons said it has been a goal of the council to have more public input. He suggested continuing the discussion at the next meeting. The council voted and agreed to continue the discussion on Monday, Aug. 8. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

requested more funding from the county board of commissioners, he understands that the county budget has limited resources. Voters rejected a funding request in 2018 that would have given the sheriff’s office some financial relief and strengthened service levels. How service levels into the future should be addressed is still undecided, according to Landers. “This reduction in services is still new,” he said. “We still need to make some adjustments. It may turn out okay. We may be able to priorities our calls and meet demands.” But looking ahead, Landers said he hopeful his agency can hire the deputies that are funded under the current budget, which include three patrol deputies and fire jail deputies. Landers admits, that even when his agency is fully staffed, there won’t be the number of deputies needed to meet the service call demands. “We are going to have to consider

County discusses bilingual pay policy HILARY DORSEY Editor
Lincoln County discussed Wednesday, July 27, a bilingual pay policy. The policy will be part of the consent agenda Wednesday, Aug. 3, for approval. The purpose of the policy is to enhance service delivery and communication to all community members through language and cultural competency, the policy states. The policy applies to all full time and part-time employees. David Collier, director of Lincoln County Human Resources, said this is a formalized policy for bilingual pay. What the county was paying was behind what some other places were paying. “There’s a new requirement that’s coming out in regard to House Bill 2359 that changes the requirements for health care interpreting services,” Collier said. “We added those designations. Those are the certified medical interpreter and the qualified
medical interpreter.” Certified designation includes those who are bilingual in both speaking and writing. Qualified designation is just written. The county currently has around three individuals working toward the qualified designation. Those certified would receive more for reaching that next step. The county has a total of 15 people that are receiving the medical stipend. An employee whose position is not designated as bilingual may request to take the language proficiency test with the approval of the department head and the human resources director. An employee receiving proficiency-based pay must be willing to use and apply verbal and written language skills as requested by the supervisor. Commission Chair Claire Hall said this policy is an important step for bilingual employees. The policy will be on the consent calendar at the next meeting.

Candidates face-off in gubernatorial debate in Welches Herb Swett Country Media The candidates for governor of Oregon debated state issues Friday in a forum before the Oregon Newspaper Publishers Association in Welches. Debating were Democrat Tina Kotek, former speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives; Republican Christine Drazan, former minority leader of the Oregon House; and independent Betsy Johnson, a former state senator. Four Oregon newspaper executives questioned the three. Here are their paraphrased statements. Opening remarks Drazan: I am originally from Klamath Falls. My family was less stable than they would have liked, too dependent on natural resources. They talked about politicians leaving people behind. Kotek: I began public service at the Oregon Food Bank. I have focused on having a positive impact on people’s lives. Families are worried about making ends meet Johnson: I believe we’re losing the Oregon that we love. I call for common-sense change. My allegiance is to Oregonians, not to any party or
vested interest. Responses to panelists’ questions Q: The timber industry is declining. What steps would you take? Kotek: When all parts of our state are successful, we’re all successful. I’d work with the communities to make sure we could use timber products. Drazan: My dad worked in a veneer plant that went away. We’re grateful that the tech industry stepped in, but it must become more productive. Support the state as a whole. Johnson: I visited the Elgin Veneer Plant and worked to save jobs when the Department of Environmental Quality wanted to shut them down. We must manage forests so they don’t burn down. Q: We hear of homelessness as a crisis. What would you do? Kotek: I have a five-point plan on my website for shelter for homeless. We have increased shelters quickly. Johnson: I reject the notion that Tina is the only one working on homelessness. I made Wapato Jail a place of healing and hope. We’re getting more tent cities. Drazan: As a freshman representative, I focused on youth homelessness. I passed

Betsy Johnson
second-home legislation, and more than 70% finished high school because of it. Q: How did Wapato work? Johnson: We have a track record of success. We have to stop fighting over what is best. Kotek: I was glad my bill to streamline efforts worked. We need more housing. Drazan: We have invested between $1.5 billion and $2 billion on housing. The reasons hotels and motels shut down were COVID-related. Q: Regarding the Greater Oregon issue, how do we address that concern? Johnson: That’s a clarion call to do something about it. People who feel disrespected need our attention. Drazan: We’ve had singleparty control too long. Rural and urban issues must be noted. All parts of the state must be
respected. Kotek: We have large swaths of our state that are not listened to. Public policies have different impacts on different parts of the state. Johnson: On Tina’s website, someone said that a Confederate flag at a rally showed racism. Kotek: I’m not calling people at those rallies racists, but inclusivity is needed. Q: Weather problems are getting worse. How would you address them? Drazan: Oregon continues to be a leader in climate issues; we transitioned out of coal. We also need to preserve our dams. Had cap and trade passed, gasoline would have cost $3 more. Kotek: We have to mitigate the issues but also promote wind power. Johnson: We need to lower
Christine Drazan the carbon footprint but not at the expense of farmers. Manage forests better. Be sure offshore winds don’t hurt fishermen. Drazan: We need checks and balances. We pushed the responsibility for cap and trade to all Oregonians. It was a monstrosity of a bill. Kotek: I’m not hearing solutions. When you have as big an issue as climate change, failure hurts all Oregonians. Q: What would you do about the struggle for the poor to fight mental health issues? Kotek: Oregon is at the bottom of the list of states for affordable care. Johnson: We are so lackadaisical about drugs that we’re making the problem worse. Drazan: We must make it easier for people with drug problems to come to Oregon. Q: Do you support state laws on abortion?
Johnson: Tina and I voted pro-choice. Christine is antichoice. Tax money should not be used for abortions. Drazan: I’m pro-life. I’ll enforce laws uniformly. Roe v. Wade doesn’t seem to apply to that. Kotek: Abortion is healthcare. Dobbs was a wake-up call. Q: What steps would you take for gun safety? Drazan: The Second Amendment is law. We have universal background checks and safeguards. Kotek: The priority for the governor is to keep people safe. My opponents have voted against background checks. Johnson: I’m a responsible gun owner. Raise the age for certain weapons from 18 to 21. Q: High tech is a big player. Why is Oregon missing out on such growth, with that big Intel plant placed in Ohio? Kotek: Expand high tech and broadband. I have a personal relationship with the Intel CEO. Johnson: I talked with Intel executives, who said, “Answer the damn phone.” There were warning signs. Drazan: We have some of the worst tax laws in the United States. Oregon is stronger when business is better.

Do you have a dazzling new idea for a workplace safety or health training or education project? Oregon OSHA wants to hear your pitch. The division is now accepting grant applications for the creation of innovative on-the-job safety or health training or education projects. Applications are due by 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7. Oregon OSHA prioritizes unique projects that engage workers on essential workplace safety or health topics. Such projects may include an immersive video training or an eye-catching safety publication or a package of helpful safety and health guidelines and checklists. Go online to learn about how to apply or contact Matt Kaiser, 971-5999638, matthew.c.kaiser@dcbs.oregon.gov The training grants will focus on programs that target a high-hazard Oregon industry, such as forestry, construction, or agriculture, or a specific work process to reduce or eliminate hazards. Any employer, labor group, school affiliated with a labor group, or nonprofit organization may apply. Grants may not be used to pay for projects
that are purely research in nature or for regular ongoing activities or those specifically required by law. Only new or substantially expanded activities will be considered for funding. Materials produced by grant recipients become public domain. Some of the materials are housed in the Oregon OSHA Resource Center, while some materials are available online.
Some examples of past grant projects include:
• Creation of safe-design guidelines for anchoring systems used as part of logging operations • An educational program for nurses to prevent ergonomic-related injuries • Videos and related training aids describing the most prevalent health hazards in construction: silica, lead, noise, and asbestos. The Oregon Legislature launched the Occupational Safety and Health Education and Training Grant Program in 1990. Award recommendations are made by Oregon OSHA’s Safe Employment Education and Training Advisory Committee, a group with members from business, labor, and government.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Climate straw vote for November ballot withdrawn
R
egarding your article on page 2 of today’s NewsGuard: I want Kaety Jacobson, Claire Hall, and Doug Hunt to know that the lack of volunteers supporting that ballot measure should show them how much
public support they have for such a dumb idea!! Being carbon neutral by 2035 is only 13 years away! What do they think the huge number of lower income people of this county will drive?
Since they can afford new electric cars they think the rest of us can also? Or they simply don’t care about lower income people!! I am thoroughly disgusted with everyone who thinks like that! None of
them will ever get my vote again! -Carol Rohlfing, Lincoln City
LETTER FROM THE EDITOR
Saying goodbye to the coast
O
ver the last three years, I have covered city council meetings, events and features on new businesses in Tillamook – and since this past November – in Lincoln City. I have enjoyed meeting the kind people of Lincoln City in my time as editor, but I am looking forward to the next adventure. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a bachelor’s degree in journalism, writing for one of the school’s magazine and two remote internships before landing a job for the Headlight Herald in Tillamook. After a couple of years, I made the transition to editor of The News Guard. I appreciate my time with Country Media and the two offices I have worked at with the
company, especially my bosses Joe Warren and Robyn Smith. As of this paper, I will be reporting for a newspaper in the Portland area. I look forward to moving back to a bigger town, as I am a city girl at heart. I will always cherish my time in Lincoln City and Tillamook. Stepping into the editor’s position as of Monday, Aug. 1, will be Jeremy Ruark, who many of you may know has worked for The News Guard in the past and has written articles for us over the years. He is coming from the company’s St. Helen’s paper The Chronicle. I know you will give him the same warm welcome you showed me. Thank you to all. -Hilary Dorsey
GUEST COLUMN
Time to trade in America’s broken education system for one that works DAVID J. FERREIRA AND CHRIS SINACOLA
P
resident Biden is currently weighing a massive cancellation of federal student loan debt. It’s easy to see why. The nation’s total student debt load now exceeds $1.7 trillion. The situation is even worse given that many student debt holders leave school without a degree – yet must still struggle for years to pay back their loans. Moreover, it’s far from clear whether all this spending on higher education is providing our economy with the workers it needs. Even as the number of Americans with a college degree has risen, a range of vital industries -from construction and manu-
facturing to car repair -- have seen the supply of qualified workers steadily shrink. A long-running educational experiment in Massachusetts could point the way out of both these crises. The state’s extensive network of vocational-technical schools -- or “voc-tech schools,” as they’re known -- offers high school students a path to career success that doesn’t require an expensive four-year college degree. By expanding this educational model to more states, policymakers could slash student debt while also addressing the skilled-worker shortage in some of the nation’s biggest industries. That so many Americans are struggling to pay down

student loan debt is evidence of a larger higher-education crisis. Today, it’s conventional wisdom that even a modest middle-class existence requires a four-year college degree. The perceived necessity of a college education has enabled institutions to charge increasingly exorbitant tuition. Student debt levels have risen in tandem. At the same time, those who drop out of college without a degree, or never attend to begin with, are often condemned to low-paying jobs with few reliable paths to more gainful employment. This situation describes an enormous segment of the American workforce. By one estimate, more than 44% of the nation’s workers have

low-wage jobs. Of those, just under half have a high school diploma or less. Yet companies across the economy are in dire need of skilled workers. The manufacturing sector’s skilled labor shortage is on track to reach more than 2.1 million workers by the end of the decade, according to one recent study. Across the economy, some 4 million skilled positions sit unfilled right now. In short, America’s current approach to higher education is failing everyone from debtridden college graduates to low-wage non-college graduates – and even understaffed businesses. Massachusetts’s voc-tech model might offer a solution. Unlike in traditional high schools, students in the Bay State’s 41 voc-tech schools spend half their time on academic work and half learning a technical trade such as automotive technology, carpentry, electronics, advanced manufacturing, or the culinary arts. Far from detracting from academic performance, the hands-on component of voc-tech curricula actually complements and deepens student understanding of the liberal arts. In fact, students at voc-tech schools perform roughly on par with their peers from traditional high schools on state tests -- even though they’re spending half as much time on academic instruction. The dropout rate for stu-
dents in the state’s voc-tech schools is one-third that for students in traditional high schools. What this suggests is that students who graduate from voc-tech schools are just as prepared as their peers in purely academic schools to pursue a college degree. But voc-tech students also leave school with the technical know-how to begin a fulfilling, well-paying career in one of the many industries where skilled labor is in desperately short supply. The result is an education model that serves the needs of students while also spurring growth and creating opportunity throughout the economy -- something the status quo education system has failed to do. There’s no reason the voc-tech model must remain exclusive to the Bay State. By following Massachusetts’s example, states across the country have a chance to trade in a broken, expensive approach to education for one that actually works. David J. Ferreira is a career vocational technical teacher, coordinator, principal, and superintendent and served as executive director of the Massachusetts Association of Vocational Administrators. Chris Sinacola is a former newspaper editor and the author of five books.

Many methods and techniques of thousands of years ago are still used today. On the second Wednesday of each month, August through December, Sterud will be teaching a class on how to make your own 9” by 9” mirror mosaic using vitreous glass, beach glass, pebbles, shells, half marbles, buttons and beads. Everyone goes home with a completed project. Please join for the next class from 1:30-4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 10. Cost is $16 for supplies, to be paid to the instructor on the day of the class.

Oregon electric utilities file wildfire mitigation plans Electric utilities across Oregon have filed Wildfire Mitigation Plans (WMPs) designed to prevent and mitigate wildfire risk with the Oregon Public Utility Commission (PUC). The WMPs are the first to be filed since Senate Bill 762 passed during the 2021 legislative session requiring plans for all electric utilities providing service in Oregon. Senate Bill 762 established formal standards for electric utility wildfire mitigation plans, including the information utilities are required to include. Plans must identify areas at high-risk for wildfires within the utility’s service territory and actions to minimize those risks, as well as protocols for implementing public safety power shutoffs. Utilities also need to describe how they determined which risk reduction strategies to pursue. The bill required the three investor-owned utilities that are regulated by the PUC to submit their plans to the PUC by the end of 2021 and the PUC to approve them within 180 days after their submission. The remaining electric utilities throughout Oregon that are not regulated by the PUC, which includes cooperatives, People’s Utility Districts, and municipalities, submitted their plans for approval to their local utility governing body ahead of being filed with the PUC. “The wildfire mitigation plans demonstrate a great deal of work to meet the needs of communities and keep pace with the changing wildfire risks,” said Letha Tawney, PUC commissioner. Included in the WMPs are the utilities’ plans to implement Public Safety Power Shutoffs. A PSPS is a measure of last resort to help keep people and communities in high fire-risk areas safe by proactively shutting off electricity during extreme and dangerous weather conditions
Be Ready for the 2022 Wildfire Season and Potential PSPS Events
• Register to receive alerts from official sources. Download the FEMA app and receive real-time alerts from the National Weather Service for up to five locations nationwide. Also, sign up for emergency notifications with your local city and/ or county, as well as outage alerts from your electric utility service provider. • Develop an emergency plan and make sure everyone in your household knows and understands what to do in the event of an evacuation. • Create a circle of safety around your home, which is a fuel-free defensible space that can help reduce fire danger. Visit Keep Oregon Green for more information.
Prepare for a potential power outage/PSPS event:
• Be two weeks ready – Gather food, medical supplies, batteries, pet supplies, among other things, needed by family members during an outage or evacuation for up to two weeks. Learn more about what supplies to consider. • For individuals with a medical condition that requires power, please contact your
service provider in advance of an outage to register a Medical Certificate. This certification provides added benefits and helps the utility ensure they meet your needs in the event of an outage. Also, consider a backup generator or alternative location for power needs. • Keep cell phones fully charged in anticipation of an outage. Consider a car-charger for cell phones and other electronic devices. • Make sure your utility service provider has current contact information for notifications by updating your account online.
During a power outage:
• Contact your electric utility service provider to inform them of an outage. Avoid downed power lines at all costs. • Stay clear of utility crews working to restore service in your community. • Use flashlights or batteryoperated lanterns for emergency lighting. Do not use candles or other potential fire hazards. • Turn off lights and unplug electric appliances except for the refrigerator and freezer to help avoid a surge to the system when service is restored. After turning off all the lights, turn one light on to know when power has been restored. • Use generators safely – Do not run the generator inside the home or garage or anywhere near a window or vent, as these spaces can capture deadly levels of carbon monoxide. Learn more about proper use of a generator to avoid hazardous conditions. • Check on elderly neighbors or individuals with special needs who might need additional assistance. • Find creative ways to stay cool, including closing blinds and curtains, keeping the hottest rooms closed, stay hydrated, visit the local swimming pool, use a battery-powered fan, and avoid upstairs.

when energized electrical lines could be damaged and ignite a fast-moving wildfire. “As we anticipate higher than average temperatures in the next week, we appreciate that Oregon electric utilities have gone through the planning process to prepare for a possible PSPS,” added Commissioner Tawney. “No utility utilizes a PSPS lightly, but their implementation plans are designed to help keep Oregonians informed and safe in extreme fire weather.” View the 2022 Wildfire Mitigation Plans for Oregon electric utilities.

“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’d like to see more households becoming subscribers; following the News Guard on Facebook; or just making a regular stop at: 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.

Health Matters by Samaritan Health Services
Surviving prostate cancer started with musician overcoming fear Rik Savering, 61, of Tidewater, remembers the morning he was scheduled for robotic‑assisted surgery at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. It was March of 2020 and Savering had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Removing the prostate entirely would give Savering the best chance for survival. Savering often uses humor to deal with the stress and pressure he’s feeling. But with this diagnosis, underneath the facade, he became consumed by what ifs. “What if they couldn’t remove all the cancer? What if I become incontinent? What if I lose erectile function? I was scared to death,” Savering said. Surgeon Layron Long, MD, of Samaritan Urology, has performed hundreds of prostate surgeries. While this case may have been routine for Dr. Long, there is nothing mundane about a patient’s fears. Surgeon connects with patients before surgery A part of healing goes beyond surgery or medicine. That’s why Dr. Long makes a point of getting to know each patient beyond the diagnosis. During a preoperative meeting, Dr. Long learned that Savering was a keyboardist who had performed extensively on the East Coast in the 1980s and even opened for musical acts like R.E.M., The Kinks and Cyndi Lauper. The two soon discovered that during his fellowship, Dr. Long had seen Savering’s band in concert in Washington, D.C. “Connecting with people on another frequency solidifies our understanding,” Dr. Long said. “I use these points of levity when we’re talking about something serious.” And in their case, sometimes people just vibe. Savering was comforted when he learned that Dr. Long is also a musician. “You know, we don’t have to do this (surgery) today,” Dr. Long told Savering. When Dr. Long put the decision in his patient’s hands, it gave Savering a sense of control. He thought of his three children and his partner. “I’ve gotta be there for them,” he decided. “I have to stay alive.” Routine PSA screening is vital step After a successful surgery, both Savering and Dr. Long agreed, the outcome could not have been better. The cancer was successfully removed and, after recovering from surgery,
Above: Musician Rik Savering shares his story of survival and gratitude to encourage others. he has regained full continence and erectile function.
“That was an exciting time,” Savering recalled. “But I’m not 25 years old anymore.”
His cancer was detected early through routine screening. Because there are no early symptoms of prostate cancer, the disease was first suspected when Savering had elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen (or PSA). Then, the cancer was confirmed through an ultrasound‑guided biopsy.
Savering was able to easily maintain follow‑up visits close to home with Dr. Long at the urology clinic in Newport, helping ensure he was on the path to a successful recovery. Now, two years after his surgery, Savering is a source of confidence for others who face a prostate cancer diagnosis.
Because Savering is relatively young and in good health, Dr. Long recommended surgery to remove the prostate and the cancer. While there are risks with surgery, more than 93% of men regain continence control within a year and erectile function for most men returns within two years.
He said he is sharing his story because he remembers what it was like for him.
Now a cancer survivor, Savering is once again composing and recording music in his garage studio. It’s a step back from the stages he once rocked when his band Not Shakespeare opened for some of the top rock acts of the 1980s.
“It was like being on a roller coaster,” he said. “I went from not knowing and being scared, to being optimistic then fatalistic.” Recovery has taught him to slow down, not to get frustrated and to appreciate life. “I have an overall sense of gratitude,” he said. “I’m just so thankful I got through it.” Watch Rik Savering tell his powerful story at samhealth.org/RikS.
Prostate Cancer 101: Facts and stats about this common cancer Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men, except for skin cancer. It is the second leading cause of death among men in the United States, with 1 out of 7 being diagnosed in their lifetime. Around 60% of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men ages 65 or older, and it is rarely identified in those younger than 40. Black men in the U.S. and the Caribbean have the highest incidence rates of prostate cancer around the globe. The number of new cases diagnosed in Black men is 73% higher than their white counterparts.
Additional risk factors beyond age and race include family history, Agent Orange exposure and diet. Standard methods of diagnosis include digital rectal exam, blood test, MRI of the prostate and, ultimately, a biopsy of the prostate. When prostate cancer is caught and treated early, the five-year and 10-year survival rates in the U.S. are both 98%. If you are uncertain about your prostate health, talk to your health care provider about your concerns and which screening options are right for you.
