Lincoln County approved for Phase 2 MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
Lincoln County has obtained the final approval from the Oregon Governor’s Office to move forward into Phase 2 of the Reopening Oregon process. Up and down the Oregon Coast, just one county has yet to advance to Phase 2 of reopening: Lincoln County. The delay sparked from a workplace outbreak at the Pacific Seafood fish plant that the Oregon Health Authority began investigating on June 2. The outbreak included 187 total cases and the most recent onset was July 26, according to OHA’s latest weekly report. In the Phase 2 application, the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners recommended the county move into Phase 2 on September 8, after Labor Day weekend. Phase 2 will allow wider reopening that includes recreational sports, venues like movie theaters, bowling alleys, arcades, pools and increased in-office work. Indoor social get-togethers are capped at 10 people with physical distancing. Governor Kate Brown agreed to the date, despite the fact that Lincoln County has

The event offered food vendors, music, awards and of course, plenty of spiffy vehicles. Social distancing queues and masks were strongly encouraged. Saturday was filled with car judging and Sunday was the Sound-Off that not only provided an entertaining show, but also raised money for the local charity Angels Anonymous.

City residents rally around local post office MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia. net
For over 20 years, Oregonians have been voting by mail. And in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, mail-in ballots is expected to be the voting method of choice for most Americans. When news broke about United States Postmaster General Louis Dejoy’s changes that included eliminating employee overtime, removing mail-sorting machines from postal facilities around the country,

and reorganizing or eliminating Postal Service leadership, an outcry ensued across the nation as the changes slowed mail service in some areas and sparked concerns over whether the service will be able to handle the historically high volumes of mailed ballots expected in the November election. Protests have ensued across the U.S., including here in Lincoln County as locals participated in rallies last week and last Saturday, during the nationwide ‘Save the Post Office Saturday’ event.

A 3.6 percent rate increase for North Lincoln Sanitary Service (NLS) was on the table for Lincoln City City Council Monday night, as the local waste company follows the consumer price index (CPI). Every two years, NLS provides cost of living rate adjustments for collection services. From April 2018 to April 2020 the CPI was 4.2 percent. NLS is allowed to adjust their
amount equal to 85 percent of the two-year percentage change, which amounted to 3.6 percent. The last rate increase in 2018 was the largest rate increase NLS has had in its history, largly due to the recycling issues in the China market, said NLS President Tina

office, several people gathered from groups such as Indivisible Lincoln City and the Lincoln City Democrats. The first rally lasted two hours on August 18 and was brought together by a member of both groups, Nora Sherwood. “I saw that Newport was doing it so I thought this is something we needed to do in Lincoln City as well,” Sherwood said of why she wanted to show support in Lincoln City. “In general, I think the post office has been hampered by this re-

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, NLS feared a similar rate adjustment would be in order. French said at the August 24 City Council meeting that NLS lost about 60 percent of its waste tonnage in March through mid June. NLS had a nearly $60,000 decrease

Current virus transmission rate will keep classrooms closed, Gov. mulling restrictions MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net Seven months ago, on January 21, Oregon established the Incident Management Team to prepare for the possibility of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) infections in Oregon. Five week’s later the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) reported Oregon had it’s first case. Since then, Oregon has had over 24,000 cases and over 400 COVID-19 related deaths. Fortunately, new OHA modeling shows that cases in Oregon are leveling off, but not at the rate needed for Oregon to reopen schools for in-person education, Governor Kate Brown announced. Gov. Brown held a press conference August 21 with OHA Director Pat Allen and Dr. Dean Sidelinger, state epidemiologist and state health officer, to discuss Oregon’s efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19. “Today, after six months, some say my orders are too restrictive, that the virus isn’t dangerous or even that it’s a hoax,” Gov. Brown said. “Others say I haven’t done enough, that we should shut down the entire economy immediately and start from scratch, regardless of the cost to people’s livelihoods. The truth is, those commenting on the far ends of this debate, well… They are missing the point. This has always been a balancing act.” Gov. Brown said she and her staff worked hard to follow medical data when making
decisions about restrictions and so far, they have been successful in flattening the curve, as Oregon has one of the lowest mortality rates in the entire country. However, Gov. Brown said their efforts have not been enough to open schools anytime soon. “Our infection rate is still too high to get all of our kids safely back into our classrooms in most of our schools this fall,” Gov. Brown said. “To keep students, teachers and staff safe in our schools across the state, we need to see a much more rapid decline in case numbers, and we need to see it quickly.” The State is considering two paths to slow the spread to levels where they can safely reopen in-person education. The first option is to call on local communities to step up efforts to greater enforce existing guidelines, such as face covering use, physical distancing, sanitation, contact tracing and compliance with isolation/ quarantine. The second option would be to create further business restrictions, as well as creating travel restrictions for people entering Oregon or returning from trips outside the state. “I believe, and the data indicates, that either one of these strategies will work,” Gov. Brown said. “Either one will drive down the spread of the virus quickly. Either one gives us a fighting chance to open in person instruction in education throughout much of the state later this fall. But one path has a far greater cost than
the other.” Gov. Brown stated that closing business can control the virus, but also comes at a great cost as Oregonians would lose jobs, income and create economic costs that may have physical and mental health consequences. The state is instead urging elected officials and business leaders to take the lead. Gov. Brown asked local officials to tighten enforcement by completing more business inspections and using creative ways for shutting down large gatherings, where OHA reported they’ve seen sources of infections. “I’m here to deliver a message to local elected officials, local community leaders and business leaders and to every single Oregonian,” Gov. Brown said. “Now is the time to step up even further.”
Current Transmission Rates
For the second straight week, cases statewide have declined, said Allen. OHA has reported a seven percent drop from the previous week and the total number of deaths dropped from 39 to 31. The percentage of positive tests have leveled off at 5.4 percent and hospitalizations dropped from 143 to 115. Allen also noted that the State has secured an agreement to add over 20,000 tests to their weekly capacity. Testing kits will be sent to qualifying laboratories across the state, which will speed up results and create more capacity as needed. “We’re making a difference in stemming the tide against COVID-19 in our communities,” Allen said. “But the
virus remains prevalent across the state of Oregon and it’s a risk to everyone. We’re on the right track, now we need to step on the gas.” Oregon has stabilized at roughly 300 cases per day, according to OHA. Gov. Brown would like to see that number decrease to roughly 60 cases per day in order to open classrooms for childcare and K-12. Dr. Sidelinger noted that the current transmission rate is at one, meaning one person is infected per each positive case. The goal is to get the transmission rate down to 0.75 percent, meaning less than one person is infected per each positive case. “While our COVID-19 data shows that we are doing better than many other states, the virus continues to be a significant threat to our communities and we are not close to keeping the infection rate level we need to reopen schools across Oregon,” Dr. Sidelinger said. All three state officials stressed the importance of following the health guidelines so further restrictions won’t be necessary. “If we cannot improve our trajectory over the rest of the month by increased compliance of our already existing policies and guidelines, unfortunately, I will need to add more restrictions,” Gov. Brown said. “When it comes to controlling the virus, we have the tools. We need you, we need everyone, to use them.”

February 21, 2020, Thomas Norman MacDougall, loving husband and father, passed away at age 80 due to complications from a rare type of cancer. Tom was born December 6, 1939 in Portland. He grew up in Depoe Bay, and worked at his family business Sunset Service and Marine Supply store later to become Sunset True Value. A Taft High Graduate (‘57), Tom lived in Depoe Bay for roughly 50
years. During that time, he served as a volunteer firefighter and EMT and met his now wife Carol. ln 1986, he became a commercial pilot and started Sunset Scenic Flights, Charter Service and Flight School. ln 1998, he and his family relocated to Bend where he managed Round Butte Seed: retiring to Crooked River Ranch and Borrego Springs, Ca. Tom had a passion for Fishing, Pickleball, Golf and Flying. He was known
for his quick wit and humor, attention to detail and love of animals, especially cats. Tom is survived by his wife Carol, Crooked River Ranch; his four daughters, Polly Webber Portland, Kimberly (Grant) Martin Bend, Kelly Mclaughlin Las Vegas, and Krista (Mar-

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY The 19th Amendment Today, August 26th, is a day to celebrate! Although August 18th is the day Tennessee became the last, necessary state to ratify the amendment, it wasn’t until August 26th that the US Congress formally ratified the 19th Amendment, verifying that “the right to vote shall not be denied on account of sex.” On that day, women earned the right to vote after eighty (80!) years of suffrage,
which included insults, arrests and even physical abuse. The suffragists were strong women who would not quit until they achieved their much-deserved goal. We are so fortunate to live in a state that encourages all eligible voters to vote by mail (vote at home!). Take advantage of that right and 1) verify that your registration is current by going to the Secretary of State’s website (sos.oregon.gov), 2) educate
Unhappy with Meredith Lodging I rented a Lincoln City home through Meredith Lodging in January for a Spring Break for 13 family members. One-two weeks before our arrival I canceled due to the COVID. I could not get a refund, only a credit to be used by year-end in the same home. Then I learned the rate for four nights in October were nearly $800 more than a Spring Break weekend. After some fee reductions it was still costing me $600 more so I opted for three nights instead of four and that was still ap-
An $87 Million Urban Renewal The City Council approved the project including Road Ends and the Village of the Cascades. The City is now going to be both in land development and the real estate business. When Mayor Dick Anderson and ex-City manager Hawker announced in the newspaper in June 2013 that they purchased The Village of Cascades for $2.5 million out of the City budget, it concerned many citizens that the City was speculating with our tax money.

On Nov. 3rd, all citizens of this precious Democracy will have the opportunity for our voices to be heard. Today let us keep
proximately $80 more. After contacting the LC Chamber of Commerce, the LC Mayor and the Oregon DOJ, I was able to get the rates for the October visit down to that of the March visit, which resulted in a refund of approximately $500. Under current guidelines, socializing in groups of more than 10 would cause my group to violate those guidelines and we don’t know the October guidelines yet. Regardless, my children and grandchildren don’t want to jeopardize the health of the seniors that are in our group so no one wants to go.
time later a developer said that they would pay the City $2.5 million for the property plus give the City 50 acres including the Knoll (which the City wanted) and pay their share of the new sewer pump station. The City refused the offer. The City has, in total, over $50 million dollars of assessed tax value in properties which are off the tax rolls. The first urban renewal project in 1988 was $49 million and was a complete failure in increasing the redevelopment of properties to increase the tax base within the urban renewal boundaries to offset the tax money spent on the project. The City has
spent millions of dollars in purchasing properties which has taken them off the tax rolls. And since the end of the Urban Renewal project, has transferred millions of dollars of properties over to the City that were purchased with Urban Renewal money (YOUR tax dollars). Most of the Urban Renewal money went into public works projects that pay no taxes. Here are some of the costs taxpayers have paid above the initial $2.5 million purchase price of the Village: pump station-$1,275,516 estimate; seven years of tax base loss estimated at $2 million dollars (with an
that in mind as we celebrate the ratification of the 19th Amendment. And remember, women were not given the right to vote. We earned it. Did you already celebrate the 19th Amendment on August 18th? Great! Why not celebrate again today? The right to vote is even more valuable today than it was 100 years ago! Georgia Roelof, League of Woman Voters, Lincoln City
It’s really sad when you have a 5-year business relationship with a firm and then find out what they are really like. Neither COVID, hurricane nor flood will keep Meredith Lodging from collecting their income. It’s not morals and ethics, it’s only money that counts. I have two choices, don’t go and lose $1,600 or go and risk the health of 12 other close relatives. Steven Daiker, Beaver Creek
annual 3% tax increase); and $700,000 total annual maintenance costs over 7 years. If the property was in private ownership, the large part of the housing shortage would have been solved and hundreds of jobs created in construction and associated trades. Also, the property would be generating tax base for taxpayers. The urban renewal will devastate the fire district by reducing their operating budget by $4,577,381 over the length of years of the urban renewal. Remember that the taxpayers recently approved a bond issue for the fire district—this gain will be reduced the urban

renewal district. The school district lost over $10 million over the first urban renewal alone. In my opinion, the ‘free enterprise’ system is dead in this community and the City Council has shown no concern for the financial burden it has placed on taxpayers. The reason we pay City taxes is to ensure that citizens have adequate streets and traffic improvements, a reasonably priced sewer and water system, and not to be in unfair competition with private business. In these areas the City has failed completely. Jerry A. Warner, Lincoln City

Phase 2 From page A1
yet to meet two of the Phase 2 requirements. “Thank you for the effort you, your residents,and your public health system have put into containing the spread of COVID-19 in your county,” Gov. Brown said in a letter to the Commissioners. We have been carefully monitoring your case trends and over the last two weeks, there has been an increase in positivity, slightly higher than the criteria to enter Phase 2. However, we anticipate that your county will stabilize and will be able to enter Phase 2 by the target date of September
8, 2020, if you continue to test, track and isolate new cases of COVID-19. This work will make it possible for you to move to the next phase.” The increase in positivity has largely stemmed from an outbreak at the assisted living facility Hillside Place in Lincoln City, which currently has 21 total cases and two confirmed COVID-19 related deaths, according to the weekly report. Lincoln County Public Health also reported an outbreak at Surftides resort in Lincoln City, which has six total cases. On Monday, Public Health
Post Office
reported another Lincoln City outbreak at the Inn at Spanish Head. Currently, five out of 97 staff have tested positive. “Lincoln County has noticed an increase in cases in the Lincoln City area,” Rebecca Austen, health department director said. “We ask that residents and visitors continue to take safety precautions to prevent the spread of COVID-19.” Also in the weekly report released August 19, OHA reported the outbreak at Avamere Rehabilitation of Newport has resolved. The outbreak, which was first reported on June 15,
tallied 50 total cases and seven deaths. Lincoln County public health reported that the county is currently meeting four of the six requirements for Phase 2 of reopening. The other two include: - Percent of cases not traced to a known source in last 7 days (should be below 30 percent) Not Met (59 percent). - Percent of cases in last 7 days with follow up within 24 hours (should be 95 percent or more) - Not Met (86 percent). “Your county will need to continue close monitoring of
OHA’s six public health indicators to manage any increase in new cases,” Gov. Brown told the Commissioners. “Maintaining a culturally responsive and robust contact tracing system, as well as an effective testing and isolation strategy, will be key to containing any potential spread of the virus. Phase 2 is the last full phase until there is a widely available treatment or a vaccine for COVID-19.” “OHA will be monitoring the spread of COVID-19 in your county, and throughout the state, and will be ready to work with you if any concerns arise.”
From page A1 quirement that they fund their retirement, that’s super unfair and clearly a move to harm it’s very existence. But that’s not a new thing.” Sherwood said the issue that she’s noticed since completing college in the 80s has been the underfunding of government services such as schools and the postal service. “I saw how life was for my parents, I experiencing how life is for me and now I’m seeing how it’s going to be for my daughter… It’s just defund, defund, defund. This current issue is a part of that.” Sherwood, a Lincoln
City resident, was also joined by a few non-residents such as Gene Fifield, who was vacationing in Lincoln City and is a member of Indivisible of Clackamas. “The whole reason we’re out here is to save our vote,” Fifield said. “Oregon is the best example of mail-in voting and it’s so disheartening to see other people having to risk their lives to go out and go to the polls, wait in line, during November when it’s cold. The elderly won’t go out and vote. “Everyone needs to get out in the streets and protest. You can’t sit this one out.” Over the weekend, the
U.S. House of Representatives approved legislation during a Saturday session that would reverse recent changes in U.S. Postal Service operations and send $25 billion to shore up the agency ahead of the November election. “It’s not whether you’re republican or a democrat, we need the post office, this is not a political issue, said Lisa Voelker, a Lincoln City resident since 1981. “I’m a constitutionalist and part of the founding fathers’ ideals for this country is an educational system and a postal system. The postal system is important for a democracy.”

Lincoln County libraries distribute science activity bags TIFFANY WOODS
Libraries in Lincoln County are distributing about 800 free bags of science activities for kids, thanks to a grant GeorgiaPacific gave to the Oregon Coast STEM Hub. Over the last several weeks, Oregon Sea Grant staff, who coordinate STEM Hub activities, have been stuffing the bags with supplies and instructions, which are in English and Spanish. Depending on the intended age group, the bags can include: a magnifying glass, colored pencils, plastic specimen box, pen, journal, lanyard, rubber ball, tape measure, tweezers, eye dropper and a paper
microscope called a Foldscope. The supplies are for the activities, which feature seven daily challenges that teach kids to think critically and to observe, make, draw and deconstruct things. The activity book is at bit. ly/3kgT3Jq. “The kids learn to think like scientists, ask questions and pay attention to their surroundings,” said Tracy Crews, the manager of Oregon Sea Grant’s marine education program and interim director for the STEM Hub. “The activities may seem simple, but they are laying the foundation for skills used in careers in science, technology, engineering, art and math.” The activities challenge
kids to: - Make a raceway from paper tubes, paper plates or cardboard cartons. - Take apart objects like a toy or a pinecone and assemble them into something new. - Observe a live animal, write or draw observations and ask questions about what they are seeing. - Build a structure from paper and tape that can hold a small stuffed animal or toy. Kids are asked to think like an engineer by defining the task, brainstorming ideas, drawing a design, testing it and refining it. - Go on a scavenger hunt for items in nature and then create a picture or collage
with them. While outside, they observe a spot for 10 minutes and write or draw what they heard, saw, felt and smelled. - Place toys so they cast a shadow on paper and then trace the shadows to create a scene.
