Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital faces serious staffing shortages that ultimately impact patient care and nurse burnout, according to the Oregon Nurses Association.
The Cascade Relief Team has been a critical part of the Otis recovery since the 2020 fire. The group was founded and is led by Executive Director Marc Brooks. “There’s one critical thing we don’t have – that’s sawyers who can come in and safely remove these trees so we can get on with the recovery,” Brooks said. “We’ve worked with Team Rubicon on a number of operations and this is one of their specialties. They come in and get it done.”

Gun sales rise following sheriff patrol reductions
Project cost Akers describes Team Rubicon as a donation driven organization with donors ranging from corporate sponsors to individuals.“Onestory I like to tell is of a grandmother who has donat ed a portion of her social security check each month,” he said. That’s a pretty common thing so we are able to raise money that way. The efforts here are all volunteer, so every Greyshirt that is here is here to serve the community free of charge and there is no cost to the homeowners.”
“People are really concerned about their own safety.”

Customers are seeking short barrel shotguns and certain handguns that could be easily used by the elderly for home defense, according to Poovi. “A lot of people are also asking about (firearms) training and concealed weapons permits just mainly for protection,” Poovi said, adding that firearm training is essential. “There are a lot of good safety

Don’t be surprised to see several customers in line in front of the gun sales counter inside Lincoln City Sporting Goods and Electronics.Thestore, at 800 SE Highway 101 in Lincoln City, is seeing a rise in firearms sales, according to owner Bruce Poovi, following the announcement by Lincoln County Sheriff Curtis Landers that LCSO patrols would be reduced due to staffing and budget constraints. “We’ve definitely seen an increase in sales in home defense firearms such as shotguns and certain handguns,” Poovi told The News Guard. “People from the outlying areas in the county have been worried about responds time (from LCSO) because of the increased crime rates already from the pandemic, and they don’t seem to be going down, they seem to be going up. And with them not putting people in jail these days from property crimes and so on, people are really concerned about their ownOnsafety.”July31, Landers reduced patrol deputy response to non-criminal calls for service and certain lower-level criminal complaints. Deputies are now focusing primarily on responding to emergency and in-progress calls for service. Read the full story at thenewsguard.com“Ifthedeputies aren’t going to show up, unless it’s a life-threatening emergency, people are worried about finding an open door at their house when they come home, or worried about what the response time is going to be, if there is going to be a response,” Poovi said.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net Nurses at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City have filed with the National Labor Relations Board for union rec ognition through the Oregon Nurses Association (ONA.) The 70 hospital nurses are seek ing an election through the NLRB for the union representation. Samari tan North Lincoln is currently the only Samaritan facility in Oregon whose nurses are not represented by a union.Ifthe union representation is approved, the nurses would focus their collective bargaining power on addressing burnout, understaffing, safe patient care and ensuring nurses have a voice in decision-making that impacts their working conditions and wages, according to a release from the “DecisionsONA.are being made at the management level that have a huge impact on nurses, on the way we do our work, and on how we deliver care to our patients,” RN Kati Carnahan said.Carnahan works in both operat ing room and post anesthesia care unit at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital.“Idon’t understand why we aren’t invited to be a part of that decision-making process, and why those decisions aren’t transpar ent to the staff,” she said. “Join ing a union will give us a voice at the table, allow us to be a part of those decisions, and let us bring our knowledge and experience to solve problems for the benefit of our patients.”Likeall hospitals in the state, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital faces serious staffing shortages that ultimately impact patient care and nurse burnout, the ONA release states.“Joining ONA will allow nurses to have a direct influence on how the hospital operates, how they treat their nurses, and how the best

The operation was scheduled to begin Thursday, Aug. 25 and run to Wednesday, Aug. 31. TR Echo Mountain Incident Commander Matt Akers said the group has come to Otis to support the wildfire recovery effort in Lincoln County. “Our objectives are to help remove some of the downed trees in the Otis area and our goal is to get through as many as we can in the six days that we will be here,” Akers said. “Our hope is just to help the community get back to some of the normalcy that they might have experienced before the fire hit.” To date, about 135 families have returned to their Otis properties, but more than 160 families continue to live else where, some in hotels, shelters, or temporary rentals, and oth ers with friends and family, according to published reports. About the operation Akers said Greyshirts (highly skilled volunteers) are deploying from all over the West Coast. Responders include a team of sawyers (chainsaw operators) to remove dead, down, and down-hazard trees from over 20 properties. “We understand the road back home has been a long one for so many families displaced by this wildfire,” he said. “The Greyshirts deploying this week are well trained, prepared, and mission-focused on serving the community of Otis.”

Winn: Park in a well-lighted area, remove any valuables from your car when parking it and lock the car up. Never leave firearms in a vehicle unless they are secured in a strong storage box that can’t be opened or removed from the vehicle. It is also good to have your alarm on your Surveillancecar.systems on your home overlooking your driveway are also a good idea as they can alert you if someone is prowling around the area. Nothing can absolutely stop someone from breaking into your car, however the harder you make it for them to get in and by not having any valuables visible inside the car the suspect may just move on and pick an easier target.
The Lincoln City Police Department is reporting a rise in vehicle break-ins in the city.“Inmost cases, valuables were in plain view and the vehicle had been left unlocked for an extended period of time,” a Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) Facebook post states.

The News Guard: In some cases, across the nation, we’ve seen potential victims confront the suspects. What’s LCPD’s advice about that? Winn: Our advice is to call LCPD via 911 and allow the police to respond and confront the subject. The important thing to remember as the caller is that you don’t know if the suspect is armed with some type of weapon or if they have some type of mental health issues that could cause them to attack whoever is confronting them. A property crime is not worth getting hurt over and the use of force that a citizen can use during a property crime is somewhat limited.

Lt. Jeffrey Winn: We had eight just the other day. Most of the ”break-ins” are actually just people leaving their cars unsecured and that makes for easy targets. We have had a few where the windows are broken out and a good amount of those happen when valuables or potential valuables are left out in view from the outside of the vehicles. The News Guard: Where are these vehicle break-ins occurring, any specific locations, or all over the city? Winn: There are no specific loca tions, it can happen anywhere, but gener ally they happen in places where there are a lot of cars parked in condensed area such as hotel/motel parking lots, parks and scenic sites and any area where the vehicle is left with no one watching it. It also can occur through residential areas where the suspect can just walk down the street checking vehicles parked along the street or in driveways to see if they are unsecure and getting into those vehicles

The Secretary of State verified those signatures at nearly 80 percent“Damnvalidity.straight,” Johnson said in the release. “This is a momentous day for Oregon. We have an incred ible opportunity this year to reject the extremes and elect an independent governor who will put Oregonians first. I am the only candidate running to lead this state who will both protect a woman’s right to choose and keep our streets safe,” said Johnson. Unlike her fellow candidates, Johnson said she comes onto the bal lot through the power of Oregonians’ signatures, not through a partisan process.“Since the beginning of this cam paign, I have said that I am running to put the people of Oregon back in charge,” Johnson said. “I’m not run ning for governor as a D or as an R, I’m running as an Oregonian.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net If your end-of-summer plans in clude time along the Oregon Coast, first responders are urging beach visitors to use caution and to understand the dangers of the Pacific Ocean. The advisory follows the death of one person and the near-drowning of another in a dangerous rip current and multiple other weekend water rescues at Seaside.At2:33 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20, Seaside Fire & Rescue (SFR) responded to a water rescue in progress on the beach out from 6th Avenue. When rescue units arrived, three Seaside lifeguards were in the water in an active rip current with two victims and multiple bystanders who were trying to assist the victims, according to SFR.Units deployed jet skis, which allowed rescuers to quickly assist lifeguards in bringing victims and bystanders back to the beach. Both victims were transported to Providence Seaside Hospital for treatment and evaluation. One victim, a male in his 50s, was found unconscious in the water and pronounced deceased after efforts to revive were unsuccessful. A female victim in her teens survived the incident.
A water rescue occurred in Cannon Beach approximately 45 minutes after the Seaside incident and Seaside lifeguards rescued two swimmers in distress at the south end of Seaside’s beach off Avenue U approximately two hours after the 6th Avenue incident. One of the rescued swimmers from the second incident, a 27-year-old female, told fire personnel that they were in waist-deep water one minute and struggling in water over their heads the next.“We cannon stress the unpredictable dangers of the ocean enough,” SFR Division Chief of Prevention Genesee Dennis said. “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family for their tragic loss yesterday.”SFRand the water rescue team pulled 16 distressed swimmers out of the ocean over the past weekend. The agency posted the following on its Facebook following the multiple rescues.“The water temp is unusually warm for this time of year, so people are venturing farther out and ultimately getting into trouble. There are lots of rip currents and drop-offs everywhere. Please stay shallow and check in with a lifeguard to find out where the safer areas are to play in the water.

Oregon will receive $72,211,884.93 in U.S. Department of Homeland Secu rity Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awards. The funds are intended to help various organizations and departments around Oregon to financially recover from disaster and emergency response efforts and to repair critical infrastruc ture from extreme weather events. Natural disasters and emergen cies can strike at any time, requiring emergency responses during and in the immediate aftermath of the event, according to Oregon U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley.“This FEMA funding, which is going to Oregon communities and agencies that have been impacted by wildfires, winter storms, and the COVID-19 pandemic, is crucial to ensuring our communities are able to recover quickly and will support future preventative measures to protect Oregonians in every corner of the state from natural disasters when they strike,” he said.
The funds are intended to help various organizations and departments around Oregon to financially recover from disaster and emergency response efforts and to repair critical infrastructure from extreme weather events.
“This significant investment is an exciting opportunity for Oregon’s small businesses and the hard-working, entrepreneurial Oregonians who run them,” Oregon U.S. Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici said. “Small businesses are an impor tant part of our communities and our economy. With more people starting new small businesses and growing existing businesses, it’s important to break down barriers to success, especially in underserved areas and rural communities.” How the money will be used Oregon will operate five programs, including two venture capital programs to which the state has allocated $30 million. The venture capital programs are designed to invest in funds in need of additional capital to launch and scale and to make co-investments in companies alongside private investors by matching the lead investor’s structure and terms, according to the release. Across its programs, Oregon’s plan aims to counter systemic barriers to economic opportu nity by providing access to capital in persistently underserved, low- and moderate-income areas and rural communities. Oregon expects these programs to be self-sustaining, providing vital support to small business in Oregon now and over the long term.

I am aware that Lincoln City relies on the tourist industry for revenue and jobs for those who support this industry. The permanent residents who live in neighborhoods, like mine, seem to be low on the list of priorities. The worry that Oregonians won’t have access to the beaches because of Measure 21-203 is ludicrous. My neighborhood was rezoned to include VRD’s without regard to the impact it would have on permanent residents.

To all who support small businesses in Oregon
As you may know, it is a changing and somewhat challenging time for small businesses across our communities.Thework we’re doing and the feedback we’re receiving tell the story that many of our Oregon small businesses are once again facing challenges due to the current economic downturn. Moving forward Pressed with tough decisions on how to move forward, business owners are turning to the Oregon Small Business Development Center (SBDC) for support. SBDC Adviser Arnie Hendricks is a subject matter expert on financial management for small businesses and recently shared some insight on the pressing issues facing our Oregon small business economy today. “The current economic climate appears to be softening after a partial rebound from the difficult time for many companies in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID pandemic,” Hendricks said. “The issues with supply chains are still lingering, and the lack of available labor is making it difficult for many companies to recover to their pre-COVID levels of revenue and profitability. This is now compounded by the inflationary costs of many materials that are difficult to pass on to customers through increased prices.” These economic hardships are requiring business owners to take a hard look at their current financials and operational status and make accordingly—anddecisionsmanyare reaching out to the Oregon SBDC for guidance. We’re also experiencing an uptick in succession planning requests from business owners who are nearingSuccessionretirement.planning is a crucial next step for many but requires proper planning. Oregon SBDC succession planning services help guide business owners through the many stages of planning and executing, including:

Aren’t there enough hotels, motels and huge empty houses waiting for “the season” while they hide the beach from our view and while the working folks who support these businesses can’t find an affordable place to live? Where is the balance? Greed is at the helm of this ship.

LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE It’s time for many of our children to start back to school. Motorists need to get back in the habit of slowing down near neighborhood schools. There are more than 15 public and private schools located around LincolnEachCounty.morning and after noon when school is in session, children are walking to and from school and when there’s a chance they may be present, a school speed zone is in effect. The speed limit is 20 mph in a posted school zone between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on a day when school is in session. If the school zone is equipped with a flashing yellow light(s), then the speed limit is in effect when flashing. It’s vital that we obey these speed limits as our children’s safety is at stake. These schools include kindergarten through twelfth grade. Some of these children are five years old and very small. A parked car can obscure their view of you and your view of them. These young people often fail to realize the importance of looking before they walk or run out into the roadway. Driving at 20 mph will give you more time to react and avoid striking them.The following reveals the distance required to stop at specific speeds. 64 feet @ 20 mph 86 feet @ 25 mph 112 feet @ 30 mph 138 feet @ 35 mph 170 feet @ 40 mph

“We value our nurses and appreciate the quality care they give to our patients, with professionalism, compassion and attention to safety,” said Lesley Ogden, MD, CEO of Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital in Lincoln City. “We received a letter from a group of these nurses requesting that we voluntarily recognize the formation of a nurses union at our hospital. However, the National Labor Relations Board has a process which gives individual employees the right to select whether to be represented by a union through a secret ballot election process. We think that is the best way to give voice to the wishes of all of our employees.”

New general manager at Chinook Winds Casino
The YHN products listed “ar tificial flavors” as an ingredient on the labels and were properly categorized as Inhalable Can nabinoid Products with NonCannabis Additives. However, the ingredients in the artificial flavors were not disclosed and were not backed by statement that the non-cannabis additive was meant for use in a product intended for human inhalation. During its investigation, the OLCC acquired a product in gredient list indicating the YHN products may have contained soybean oil. Soybean oil contains triglycer ides, which are prohibited in vape products under OLCC rules (845-025-3265). Independent testing confirmed the presence of components matching those contained in soybean oil in some of the YHN products that underwent lab OLCCintoforadditivesasRecognizedsoybeanTriglycerides,analysis.likeoil,areGenerallyasSafe(GRAS)afoodadditive,butfoodarenotnecessarilysafeinclusioninproductsinhaledthelungs.Atthistime,thehasnotreceivedanyreports of consumers with adverse health effects as a result of using the YHN products.Customers who have purchased this product can either return it to the OLCC-licensed retailer they purchased it from or destroy the product.

Commonly known as: 655 NW Nye St, Newport, OR 97365 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above-described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the beneficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantor’s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $19,862.09 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $138,189.87 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 11/1/- 2020, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due (if applicable) for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/ or insurance, trustee’s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay- off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 11/16/2022 at the hour of 9:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the Front Entrance of the Lincoln County Courthouse, located at 225 West Olive Street, Newport, OR 97365 County of LINCOLN, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the foregoing obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trustee’s and attorney’s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest Myrna Azar 2261 SE 110TH Ave Portland, OR 97216 Original Borrower For Sale Information Call: 800- 280-2832 or Login to: www.auction.com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word “grantor” includes any successor in interest to this grantor as well as any other person owing an obligation, the performance of which is secured by the trust deed, and the words “trustee” and “beneficiary” include their respective successors in interest, if any. Pursuant to Oregon Law, this sale will not be deemed final until the Trustee’s deed has been issued by QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON. If any irregularities are discovered within 10 days of the date of this sale, the trustee will rescind the sale, return the buyer’s money and take further action as necessary. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. Without limiting the trustee’s disclaimer of representations or warranties, Oregon law requires the trustee to state in this notice that some residential property sold at a trustee’s sale may have been used in manufacturing methamphetamines, the chemical components of which are known to be toxic. Prospective purchasers of residential property should be aware of this potential danger before deciding to place a bid for this property at the trustee’s sale.

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 adequateCurrentlylevels.thesheriff’s
“We are going to have to consider 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.

The researchers then screened a “genetic library” of the resultant antibodies to determine which were most effective at binding and block ing tumors from interacting with that protein on dogs’ cytotoxic killer T-cells, the cells respon sible for fighting cancer.

Lincoln City’s most training options around here,” he said. ‘We insist that people should have a very good working knowledge of what they are doing, so we recommend that people take their safety training.”
Camelids can produce a specialized smaller type of antibodies referred to as “nanobodies.” Their smaller structure allows nanobod ies to penetrate tissues that aren’t accessible to larger antibodies, and also makes them easier to produce and store for long periods of time, which reduces the overall cost.
“It is the ability to come together and work together as a team and being a beacon of hope,” he said. “The resiliency of the community is the biggest takeaway for everyone. The people of Otis are not alone. There are people outside this area who care about the community and the recovery process.”

“It’s not a drug like chemotherapy where it’s a toxin. You’re actually recruiting the body’s natural immune response for clearing out trans formed cells — for instance, a tumor — and then it kills them,” said Dan Mourich, senior OSU research associate and the molecular biologist on the research Currently,team.veterinarians can use radiation, chemotherapy and surgery to tackle canine cancer, but these typically involve frequent trips to veterinary hospitals where the dog must be sedated and can take a physical and emotional toll on both pets and owners, Mourich said. In contrast, the OSU therapy will be admin istered daily in the home as a small subcutaneous injection, similar to how pet owners with diabetic animals inject them with insulin. The research team includes Dr. Chris Cebra, camelid expert and the chair of the clinical sci ences department in OSU’s veterinary college; former OSU professor and clinical veterinary oncologist Dr. Shay Bracha, who recently joined the Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center; and Dr. Carl Ruby, veterinary pharmacol ogy instructor at OSU. The treatment was developed with help from some unlikely collaborators: the llamas and alpacas that OSU owns, which are both members of the camelid family. Researchers injected them with a protein found in canine tumors, which provoked the alpaca’s immune system to respond by creating a specific antibody.
Researchers at Oregon State University’s (OSU) Carlson College of Veterinary Medicine are moving forward with developing a special ized antibody treatment for dogs with cancer, thanks to a recent grant from the National Sci enceTheFoundation.researchteam plans for this treatment to be a gentler, more targeted and effective option for addressing canine cancer, just as immunother apeutics are used in human cancer patients.

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 in a published interview with The News Guard Aug. 2. “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.” 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.

Akers estimated the cost to the Rubicon Team conducting the Otis recovery effort would be $15,000, mostly for food, vehicle rentals, and vehicle and equipment fuel. Team Rubicon’s assistance was requested by the Lincoln County Long-Term Recovery Group, a non-profit collective of community-based and faith organizations devoted to recovering from disaster and building community resilience in LincolnAllysonCounty.West is executive director of the group. She said local volunteers consistently show up in strong numbers to advance the recov ery in “WhatOtis.we need right now is skilled help, a re prieve for our local volunteers,” West said. “Team Rubicon’s work will help us kickstart the next stage of our ongoing recovery.”

The News Guard checked with Oregon State Police (OSP), asking if someone breaks into a home and the homeowner feels threatened, can the homeowner shoot to kill if they feel that their life is threatened? Under Oregon law, a citizen has the right to defend themselves if they feel they are in imminent danger of death or serious injury, according to OSP Government and Media Relations Captain Stephanie Bigman. Poovi said anyone purchasing a firearm in Oregon is subjected to an extensive background check, which is through the national FBI systems. “The system is very good about checking them out,” he said. The background check may take a few days. As of Thursday, Aug. 25, Poovi checked his computer and found 1,200 people in line for the Oregon background check. “About six months ago, the line was over 7,000 people,” he said. “During that time, it was taking about 23 days to complete the background check. If you have a concealed weapons permit, you get moved to the front of the line and are processed quicker.”Poovi said his store employees call those waiting for results of the background check to inform them of the status.Under Oregon law, anyone 21-years or older can purchase a handgun and anyone 18-years or older can purchase a shotgun or rifle.
Akers said the volunteer effort to help com munities, such as Otis, recover from disaster is a “sense of purpose.”

Your trip from here to there is a bit less expensive as gasoline prices continue to drop in Oregon and across the nation.Demand for gas in the U.S. is ris ing and supplies are tighter; however, lower crude oil prices are helping to put downward pressure on pump prices, according to the weekly AAA price survey.Most states, including Oregon, are seeing gas prices fall for the 10th week in a row. For the week, the national average for regular declines six cents to $3.89 a gallon. The Oregon average slips four cents to $4.82. Drivers can find unleaded regular selling for just under $4.50 a gallon. The national average reached its record high of $5.016 on June 14 while the Oregon average reached its record high of $5.548 on June 15. Both aver ages have been steadily declining since then. The major drivers of lower pump prices have been falling crude oil prices and a few weeks of seasonally low demand for “Demandgas.for gas in the U.S. has been ticking up after a few weeks of seasonally low demand for gas that were likely due to the record high pump prices we saw this spring.” Increasing demand and hurricane sea son have the potential to send pump prices higher,” AAA Oregon/Idaho Public Affairs Director Marie Dodds said. “Any storms that disrupt oil production in the Gulf of Mexico and impact large coastal refineries can impact fuel prices.” A recent survey from AAA showed that Americans have changed their driving habits to cope with high gas prices. Almost two-thirds (64%) of U.S. adults have changed their driving habits or lifestyle since March, with 23% making “major changes.”Drivers’ top three changes to offset high gas prices are driving less, combining errands, and reducing shopping or dining out. Other changes include delaying major purchases, postponing vacations and saving less money, according to the AAA survey. The West Coast region continues to have the most expensive pump prices in the nation with six of the seven states in the top 10. This is typical for the West Coast as this region tends to consistently have fairly tight supplies, consuming about as much gaso line as is produced, according to Dodds. “In addition, this region is located rela tively far from parts of the country where oil drilling, production and refining occurs, so transportation costs are higher,” Dodds said. “And environmental programs in this region add to the cost of production, stor age and distribution.”

According to research, there is estimated to be close to some 20,000 different species of bees in the world, all of which have been, and still are, in serious decline. More recent investi gation shows that this large group of insects is primarily attracted to plants that produce blue, purple, violet, white or yellow flowers, except for most members of the chrysanthemum family.While the decline in bees can be attributed to many factors including pesticides, mites, virus’s, etc., one of the major players is the loss of native plants due to encroachment by agricul ture, and urbanization into habitats that once supported myriads of wildflow ers. You can help in no small way by planting some bee friendly plants in your yard and garden each and every year.Here are some helpful hints for attracting bees to your garden: A. Use local native plants if you can. Research suggests that native plants are four times more attractive to native bees than exotic plants.
D. Plant bee-friendly plants that flower at different times of the year to keep the little guys coming around.
E. Plant flowers in clusters of the same variety to attract more bees. Four feet, or more, in diameter, per cluster, is recommended.Twoofthebest trees for attracting a multitude of bees are black cherry and apple trees. There are close to 7,500 apple trees currently grown world wide, and some 100 varieties are grown commercially in the U.S. When shopping make sure the variety you chose does well in your climate zone as their growing habits differ greatly. Three of the best bee attracting annuals are Borage, Calendula and the violet family. All have edible flow ers and leaves, and all are classified as herbs. All three prefer full sun, but violets will need shady areas in hot cli mates, and all three prefer well drained soil high in organic mater. Violets and Borage prefer to be kept moist, while Calendula’s only need occasional wa tering to do their best once established. Some of the best bee friendly perennials are asters, milk weed, bee balm and Lantana. Asters prefer full sun and tolerate most soils, and the flowers and leaves are edible, but more commonly used added to tea blends. Most are native to North America. Once established give them a deep soak once or twice a week for best results. Milkweeds are all time favorites of bees and will ditch other flowering plants for them. They are native to North America. Swamp milkweed thrives in moist conditions. Plant milkweed in the sunniest part of your garden, and parts of the plant are edible if cooked. Eaten raw, however, they are poisonous, so be careful and, yes, they are the mainstay of our de clining Monarch butterfly populations. Bee balm is also native to North America and prefers well drained and rich soil. Leaves are edible cooked or raw, and make a great aromatic tea. Lantana is a flowering ground cover that does well on slopes and else where.So why bother planting bee friendly plants? As an example, except for a few cherry trees, the majority of these fruit trees require another variety of cherry to cross pollinate, or they will not set fruit. So, in a nutshell, there would be no cherry’s without bees to cross pollinate the trees, or many other kinds of fruits or vegeta bles either. According to research, bees pollinate around 84% of mankind’s crops, and, according to others, among them world renowned physicist Albert Einstein, predict that mankind would only survive another four years if all of our bees disappeared. So, to help avert this calamity, be sure to plant some bee friendly plants around your yards and/or in your garden every year. As of this date it is estimated that there are around 250,000 flowering plants in the world that attract bees, so get busy! If you want to get started helping to keep our bees around, and help save our world, my best selling herb book, “The Beginner’s Guide to Growing Herbs And Their Culinary, Medicinal and Mystical Properties” contains some six pages of bee friendly plants, among many other things.
