From July 25 through August 29, the Bijou Theatre, the Lincoln City Cultural Center and the City of Lincoln City have partnered up to present a Drive-In Summer Movie Series every Saturday night. Shows start between 9 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. with tickets available at the Bijou between 6-7 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. on movie nights. Tickets are $20 per car and includes a large signature Bijou popcorn. After singing along to The Beatles’ Yellow Submarine film on July 25, viewers watched the classic flick Jaws August 1. This week features Back to the Future (Aug. 8) followed by Alfred Hitchcock’s ‘Psycho’ on August 15. More information is available on the Bijou website (cinemalovers.com).

As COVID-19 case counts continue to rise throughout the State of Oregon, Governor Kate Brown recently announced what metrics school districts must meet in order to reopen for in-person instruction during the 2020-21 school year. Following the Governor’s announcement, the Lincoln County School District made the decision to delay in-person classes until possibly November. During a press conference July 28 with Dr. Dean Sidelinger, state epidemiologist and state health officer, as well as Oregon Department of Education (ODE) Director Colt Gill, Gov. Brown addressed the need for in-person instruction this fall. Gov. Brown said the State has been following guidance from the American Academy of Pediatrics, which states that ‘only with low rates of disease and adequate safeguards in place should schools return to in-person instruction.’ “Good schools improve health and we

But those who are interested, can create their own. “I can help them pick a beach, and look at the tide tables to determine the time and day to do their cleanup,” Schmidt said. If you contact SOLVE, they will also provide heavy duty garbage bags, gloves, and help with a plan for trash disposal. “The more the better, but one person makes a big difference on a beach,” Schmidt said.

Hate to see a beach covered in litter? You can help! After the Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup hosted by SOLVE was canceled in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, SOLVE had to get creative. “The idea was to take an event that traditionally attracts thousands of volunteers… we often see over 5,000 people show up. We can’t do that during the pandemic,” said Jon Schmidt, SOLVE program and education manger. “So, we looked to rework the process and make it small, family-sized cleanup events.” Through August, several

On Thursday, July 30, at approximately 1:02 a.m., Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers and emergency personnel responded to a report of a deceased adult white female found on the beach between Devil’s Punchbowl and Otter Rock in Lincoln County. The deceased female was believed to have washed up from the Pacific

Ocean after an undetermined amount of time. The deceased female was initially unidentified, and OSP called on the public’s assistance to help identify the woman person. OSP described the woman as an adult female with blonde mid-length hair, blue eyes and between 40 and 50 years of age. She was wearing black yoga-style pants with the logo “Wilson Lacrosse” on the hip, a white t-shirt with “Skyhawks Sports Acad-

emy” logo, and gray with orange sole Nike shoes. On July 31, with assistance from the public, the woman was positively identified as Annette Fagan, 58, of Portland, Ore. Police said the investigation was ongoing. Anyone with information is urged to call OSP by dialing *OSP or *677 from a mobile phone or call 800.442.0776 and reference case #SP20213257.

Lincoln County removed from COVID-19 watch list THE NEWS GUARD

Governor Kate Brown announced last week that two Oregon counties, Lincoln and Union, have succeeded in reducing the spread of COVID-19 sufficiently enough to be removed from the County Watch List. Meanwhile, three counties, Hood River, Marion, and Multnomah, were added to the Watch List. This brings the total number of counties on the list to ten. The County Watch List allows the state to prioritize resources and assistance to counties that are seeing the broadest spread of COVID-19. When a county is placed on the Watch List, the Oregon Health Authority increases monitoring and communication and deploys additional technical assistance and resources, such as epidemiological support, case investigation, and contact tracing help.

local public health staff, as well as community members who worked to protect themselves, their families and neighbors, said state officials. Some of the steps taken include Union County voluntarily moving back to Phase 1 and Lincoln County opting to remain in Phase 1. In addition, the Oregon Health Authority provided case investigation and contact tracing support, including intensive efforts to reach communities with specific language and cultural needs; neighboring counties also aided the response. Counties are placed on the Watch List when COVID-19 is spreading quickly and public health officials cannot trace that spread to specific sources—creating a potentially dangerous dynamic. Specific markers of this rapid community spread include when there is a sporadic case rate of 50 or more per 100,000 people in the last two weeks and

Lincoln County was one of two counties to be removed from the State’s COVID-19 County Watch List last week. “I want to applaud county officials and community members in Lincoln and Union Counties for their diligent work in bringing the spread of COVID-19 under control in these areas. Your leadership shows that we can reduce the

spread of this disease if we work together,” said Governor Brown. Lincoln and Union Counties were successful in reducing community spread and coming off the Watch List thanks in part to the diligent work of

the county has had more than five sporadic cases in the last two weeks (sporadic cases are those that cannot be traced to a source; they indicate community spread). Counties remain on the Watch List for a minimum of three weeks and until their sporadic case rates drop below these thresholds. “This is also a good reminder to all Oregonians—especially to those who live in Watch List counties—of the importance of remaining vigilant,” Governor Brown added. “I urge all Oregonians to keep practicing physical distancing, wearing face coverings, and practicing good hygiene. Your choices matter, and we are truly all in this together.” The complete County Watch List now includes the following ten counties: Baker, Hood River, Jefferson, Lake, Malheur, Marion, Morrow, Multnomah, Umatilla, and Wasco.

Gerber Tire offers quality service for over 40 years “There’s nobody at the top who’s collecting money for doing nothing,” Perry said of their success over the years. “There’s not a super high dollar guy who’s trying to suck the life out of it.” Staffing nine employees, Gerber Tire offers tires, wheels, undercar parts and service, brakes, shocks, alignments, batteries, starter, and a full service lube and oil station. “We’re also the biggest

‘Interstate’ dealer on the Oregon Coast and offer a lot of trailer repair,” said Perry. The Gerber family believes, and holds firm, to fixing things the right way with quality. “We think we try harder to make people happy,” said Perry. “I think we use better parts in most cases. Some shops use the cheaper parts and charge the premium price. We just use the premium parts.” Gerber Tire doesn’t settle for cheap or inferior service. So instead of charging a flat rate price for work done in their

shop, they pay their crew by the hour. Customers walk away pleased when service is delivered quickly and for a fair price. “Come check us out. Even though we only use premium parts, compared to the prices I’ve seen, we are competitive in every way,” Perry said. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Gerber Tire has also stepped up their safety measures. “Nothing is reused, ever,” Perry explained. “So, every time a guy gets in a car, he has to have a brand new set of gloves, brand new steering wheel cover,

brand new seat covers, brand new floor mats. We’re really taking care to make sure this is working good.” The service center is once again fully staffed (after slowing a bit during the state-wide quarantine mandate) and can get vehicles in and out quickly. “We’re basically instant service again,” said Perry. Gerber Tire & Service Center is open Monday – Friday 8 am – 5:30 pm; and Saturday 8 am – 4 pm. Contact Gerber Tire at 541994-2202 or gerbertire@ gmail.com

It’s a consumer’s worst fear: taking your car in for a tune-up and new tires and overpaying for the service. But never at Gerber Tire, that’s something they pride themselves on. For over 40 years, Gerber Tire has been serving the Lincoln City community with professionalism, expertise, and a family-oriented mindset in their tire and service business. “It’s very local,” Perry Gerber, Gerber Tire Corporate Secretary said. “It runs

very un-corporate.” Perry’s father Jim Gerber started the business in 1980 and grew it into a four-store chain. Since that time, three of the locations have been sold off, but Gerber Tire is still family-run. “My dad is still working,” Perry said. “He runs our trailer and truck bed division that we started about 25 years ago.” The family runs their Tire and Service Center at 1605 SW Hwy 101 in Lincoln City, and their Gerber Trailer Sales at 13000 S Pacific Hwy W in Monmouth.

Over the weekend, I drove through some of our coastal tourism “hotspots” – Cape Kiwanda, Neskowin, Roads End, the D River, Otter Crest and Nye Beach. The waysides that were open were packed! Cars were parked on the roadside and throughout neighborhoods. It seems that refugees from the Valley heat were descending on us in record numbers. COVID has all of us concerned about exposure and social distancing. Certainly it is reasonable to expect our visitors to respect us and to adhere to the same rules and guidelines we do. But candidly, enforcement is proving difficult. Local police are spread thin dealing with other issues, and health enforcement has focused on the more egregious cases. It is important to note that thus far, local positive cases have not been traced to tourism. COVID guidelines are being administered by the Governor and not the Legislature. I’ve said before that I support many and have concerns about a few. I’ll keep working to see constructive practices that do the most good at the least harm. Case counts on the Coast are subsiding which is very good news. I’ve been working to remove some of our counties from the state “Watch List” which would allow our Commissioners more flexibility in what we do next. I would like to see them have the option of applying to move to Phase Two. I certainly do not want to see us downgraded from the current Phase One. That would entail more restrictions on businesses and social gatherings. A “spike” in cases is a serious concern. I continue to hear from you with strong feelings about the summer. Some of you say we need more restrictions, fewer visitors,

Rep. David Gomberg and better enforcement. Others argue that our workers and the businesses that employ them are bearing the brunt of the epidemic and there is no end in sight. Many are concerned about our schools this fall. I’m listening to all of you and striving for a balance that protects us and also maximizes our potential to recover. Unemployment and benefits for those unemployed continue to be a major concern. That situation will become more difficult as the $600 per week federal addition to benefit payments expired on July 25. I want every Oregonian to know about all benefits available to them. If you are waiting for payments, you will receive the $600 addition for all weeks up until now. Unemployment benefits will continue. Unemployed Oregonians may also qualify for help paying for rent, utilities, food, healthcare, and more—especially now that the extra $600 per week is ending. I encourage you to visit 211info.org or call 211 to learn what benefits might be available to you. Free interpretation is provided. If you are still waiting for benefits or have any other issues

ongoing with your claim, filling out the “Contact Us” form on the new unemployment website is the fastest way to connect with a claims processor. As if we didn’t have enough other things to worry about, we are now entering the most dangerous period of our annual fire season. We are in the middle of a significant lightning event which was preceded by triple digit temperatures in some areas of the state. These conditions are expected to result in an increase in fire activity including the potential for multiple large fires across Oregon’s landscape over the next 72 hours. Lightning started last evening in southwest Oregon resulting in a number of fires that have been held in check at this time. The lightning event is expected to expand from southern Oregon to the east slope of the cascades and into northeast Oregon, through this Wednesday. Cooler temperatures are anticipated to follow the next three days of forecasted lightning. Please -- be careful with any outdoor fires, camping, and adhere to local burn bans. I’d like to end on a positive note.

Now more than ever it is important to be helping each other. You can do that on a person-to-person level. And you can also do it by contributing to the many wonderful non-profit organizations – social services, housing, health care, education, animal welfare, arts and culture - that are working hard in difficult circumstances. Enhanced tax benefits may be available if you do. If you do not itemize your deductions in 2020, you can still reduce your taxable income by up to $300 for contributions of cash to public charities using an “above the line” adjustment to reduce your taxable income. For those who itemize their taxes, you can now deduct up to 100% of your adjusted gross income (AGI) for charitable donations made in 2020. Generally deductions for charitable donations are limited to 60% of your AGI. If you donate through your business, you corporation can deduct up to 25% of its taxable income for charitable donations made in 2020. This is an increase from the usual corporate donation limit of 10% of taxable income for the year. This summary is for your information and should not be construed as professional advice. As always, it is best to consult with your tax advisor to gain a full understanding of the effect of these provisions on your individual tax situation. August is upon us and the days are spectacular. I’d much rather be here in this part of Oregon than anywhere else in the world. Stay safe – stay well – and make the most of every day. Warm Regards, Representative David Gomberg House District 10

Consider a holistic approach to health and wellness When someone wants to improve their health, they often start with diet and exercise. But to feel well and stay well, there’s more to consider than just physical health. That’s why Samaritan providers recommend a holistic approach that encompasses all eight aspects of wellness, not just one or two. “Wellness is not just the absence of illness,” said Brent Godek, MD, a family physician and medical director for Samaritan Health Services. “We encourage people to think beyond their physical state.” Wellness Includes Eight Aspects Body – Being physically active, eating healthy and getting quality sleep Community – Being connected and having a support system Emotions – Having

effective coping strategies and satisfying relationships Environment – Being in safe, pleasant and stimulating surroundings Finances – Accepting and understanding your money situation Mind – Recognizing your creative abilities and expanding your knowledge Spirit – Having a sense of purpose and leading a meaningful life Work – Finding ways to grow your skills to enrich your life

“Each aspect contributes to the well-being of the whole person,” Dr. Godek said. “When one is out of proportion, it can affect the others.” When someone has a medical condition or is experiencing a health problem, Dr. Godek encourages them to think more broadly than the diagnosis, medication or treatment. “Taking a holistic approach can have an impact beyond their medical condition or diagnosis,”

he said. “It can be preventive in avoiding future medical conditions.” Even for those experiencing good health, Dr. Godek said it’s important not to take it for granted. Many people ignore the aspects of wellness until they get sick, when it can be harder to work on them. And no matter how healthy you feel, there’s always something you can do to improve your wellness, whether it’s taking a class, working on a puzzle or starting a retirement account. “I have found that often the healthiest people are those who have found a way to be active and engaged when they were younger,” he said. “So don’t wait. Do it now.” For more ideas about how you can improve your wellness, visit samhealth. org/GoodLife.

The pursuit of happiness Once upon a time, a real group called the Secret Society of Happy People decided to dedicate a day to the pursuit of happiness. Members of the society wanted to let happy feelings linger inside them every day. In 2000, the Secret Society of Happy People expanded the celebration to Happiness Happens Month in August. Happiness is a choice. Remembering happiness does not mean you are problem free. That kind of life doesn’t exist. As the

Stoics of Ancient Greece observed, happiness is all about the quality of your thoughts. Happiness is not a destination, but rather a life-long pursuit. Joy can be anywhere at any time. Don’t limit yourself to searching for pleasure. Enjoy everything and anything that makes you happy. Oprah Winfrey said it wasn’t until she learned to be happy that good things started happening to her. If you struggle with finding happiness, you can learn to be happy.

There is plenty of helpful advice available to guide you in the right direction. Reading self-help material is an excellent place to start. Here are a few published works you might want to read to help you in your pursuit of happiness: - The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale - Meditations by Marcus Aurelius - Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl

Most of the best “how to be happy” books and videos boil down to variations of the Ancient Greek philosophy of stoicism (not to be confused with the modern use of the word). The essence of stoicism is this: no matter what is wrong with the world in general, and your life in particular, you can choose to be happy if you learn how. -Information by National Day Calendar.

Use your inner power to tackle stress Growing up, did you ever hear your parent say, “Mind over matter?” They may have been on to something. Mindfulness has gained the attention of medical providers and researchers who are looking for ways to help people control stress, anxiety, weight, pain, insomnia and more. “Mindfulness is a type of meditation anyone can learn. It’s paying attention to what you’re thinking and feeling in the present moment — free of judgment — without dwelling on the past or the future,” said Bella Vasoya, PsyD, of Samaritan Weight Management Institute. “Mindfulness helps you quiet your body and mind and focus on your breathing, emotions and well-being.” Mindfulness meditation is a simple, yet powerful daily routine. There are many ways to do it and even a couple minutes a day will help reduce stress and anxiety. Dr. Vasoya suggested the following ideas to get you started: Breathing – At the core of mindfulness is deep, rhythmic, calming breaths.

Take frequent breaks throughout your day and focus on your breathing. Do what brings you joy! – Draw, paint, dance, sing, write or play a musical instrument.

Take in the beauty of your surroundings – really “see” what’s in front of you – drink in the sounds, sights and smells around you. Breathe, stay present, be mindful. You can do it!

OHA Tips for Increasing Positivity Pain and mood are closely connected. Lifting your mood can actually help your pain. The Oregon Health Authority offers several tips that you can do yourself that can have an impact on how you feel. - Learn and reflect on and re-frame negative thoughts. - Participate in activities that you are passionate about. - Spend more time with friends and family (virtually if needed), or find new social groups. - Learn about relaxation techniques like meditation and mindfulness.

-Ask for a referral to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Positivity is incredibly important in managing your pain. Positive thinking can help reduce negative feelings, pain, stress, and increase your motivation to make healthy choices. This may seem like a hard thing to do, but it is a skill that you can get better at with practice. You can improve your emotional state by doing things like spending time with friends and family, doing things that you are passionate about more often, and calming your mind by learning relaxation techniques like meditation. Changing your long-term mood may also require targeting how you think about situations. One way to do this is to challenge your negative automatic thoughts.

Refugee Influx from Big Cities Would Hit Here Instructions for residents of North Lincoln County in the event of an emergency arising from the attack of this area or adjourning cities by an enemy power were released this week by Capt. C.W. Sands, USA retire, head of the civilian defense committee, which drew up plans for the present organization.

August 6, 1970 - 50 years ago Major Devils Lake development may start with 114 units Annexation of the first 14 acres of a new 50acre recreation-oriented planned development for the shore of Devils Lake adjacent to the city limits will begin in about 60-90 days according to the developers. The plan for the multi-million dollar fourphase “Lakewood Beach Club” project was unveiled Tuesday night at the Lincoln City Planning Commission granted “approval in principal” to the idea of the development. Cables set underwater New underwater cables are now in operation across Devils Lake, providing additional telephone and television service to east side residents. The cables enter Devils Lake at the City park at the foot of Holmes road and extend along the lake bottom to the Sand Point area. The project was undertaken at a cost of $12,000 by United Telephone Co. and Lincoln TV System to “upgrade present service and provide for growth in the Sand Point area and along East Devils Lake Road.”

August 4, 2010 - 10 years ago School staff agree to fewer days District cuts school year to prevent layoffs The Lincoln County School District and the Lincoln County Education Association have agreed to a contract reduction of 12 work days during the 2010-11 school year as the first step in response to an estimated $2.5 million budget deficit. The move, the result of unanticipated state and federal revenue cuts, was agreed upon Friday, July 23, but is only the beginning of a process that could include mid-year cuts that could bring the total deficit to as much as $4.5 million if the economy remains sidetracked. LCSD officials said.

Art murals coming to Lincoln City public parks THE NEWS GUARD

Where there’s a will, there’s a way. For a few years now, local artist and Activate Arts non-profit founder, Crystal Akins, envisioned a “Community Mural Project”, where community would come together to paint ground art murals in Lincoln City. Her project mission included creating art access to youth, creating an artistic cultural identity, and having a positive economic impact through tourism. With her vision in hand, Akins approached Lincoln City Parks and Recreation (LCP&R) in Jan 2020 to see if such a mural project could take place. “The intention of the murals is to bring community together in an inclusive and equitable way,” Akins said. LCP&R loved her vision, and started the public art approval process, which included Akins presenting her ideas to the

Crystal Akins LC Public Arts Committee, LC Parks & Recreation Board, City Manager Ron Chandler, and finally, the City Council of Lincoln City. After many presentations, brainstorming and feedback sessions, the “Community Art Mural” project was approved in March 2020 by LC City Council, for the public park spaces at Regatta Park (musical instrument pad), Community Center

plaza, 51st St/ Taft, and the SW 33rd Nelscott beach access. “We are thrilled and grateful to Crystal Akins and Activate Arts for bringing the Community Art Mural project to Lincoln City,” LCP&R Director Jeanne Sprague said. “This is a grassroots, inclusive, community -oriented activity, and we appreciate the beautiful art in our parks. And they’re creating the art murals for free!” Sprague commented that each art mural is estimated at $7,000, and this expense was not in the LCP&R budget. Each mural is designed and painted by individual artists, who have donated their time and expertise. The artist selection by Akins was based on their statement of art, ability to collaborate with community, and their inclusion of local history and culture. Akins is also painting a mural titled “Vibrations”

in Regatta Park, utilizing favorite childhood songs selected by the Lincoln City community to influence her artwork. To send her songs for her art mural, please follow the Activate Arts or Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Facebook pages. “Our recent adopted public art master plan has a list of goals for art installations and projects, including an ongoing effort for smaller-scale, participatory projects that engage the public,” LC Public Art Committee Chair Niki Price said. “We were so thrilled when this project was offered, as a gift from Crystal Akins to the city. It’s just what we were looking for. The participation will have to be virtual, but the results will be spectacular!” The Community Mural Project was slated to start in June 2020, but was put on hold due to COVID19 considerations. Akins and her artists plan to start and finish the art

murals in August, having some of the community interactions virtually, including the dedication ceremony on Sat, Aug. 15th, noon at SW 51st St/ Taft. People can view the dedication ceremony virtually via live feed on the Lincoln City Parks and

Recreation FB page. For updated progress on the art murals and dedication, please follow the Activate Arts or Lincoln City Parks and Recreation Facebook pages, visit https://www.lincolncity. org/parksandrec, or call 541.994.2131.

Driver injured after crashing vehicle into house THE NEWS GUARD

On Thursday, July 30, at about 10:30 a.m., Lincoln City Police along with North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and Pacific West Ambulance responded to a report of a motor vehicle crashing into a house. Officers arriving in the 1700 block of NW Jetty found a white Chevrolet 2-door coupe had crashed into the south side of a house. The impact from the crash caused extensive damage to the house and vehicle. The driver and only occupant of the vehicle was identified as

David W. Phelan, 52, of Lincoln City. He was still in the vehicle when emergency personnel arrived and he appeared disoriented, but was breathing. The air bags in the vehicle had deployed as a result of the impact. North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and Pacific West Ambulance had arrived on scene and quickly began medical treatment of the driver. Once Phelan was removed from the vehicle he transported to Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital for medical evaluation and treatment of his injuries. He was subsequently transported by Pacific West Ambulance to Legacy

Emmanuel Hospital in Portland for further medical treatment. The scene investigation indicated that Phelan had turned northbound onto NW Jetty Ave from NW 17th Street. It is believed that he had a medical emergency which caused him to accelerate off the roadway and crash into the house. No one was in the house at the time of the crash and no other persons were injured. The Lincoln City Police Department thanked North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and Pacific West Ambulance for their quick response and assistance with this motor vehicle crash.

Samaritan Early Learning Center gets wealth of new books THE NEWS GUARD

The young readers at Samaritan Early Learning Center have a newly expanded library, thanks to a $1,700 grant from the Walter R. Behrens Foundation, which funds charitable, literary and educational enrichment opportunities in North Lincoln County. The dozens of new hardback and paperback books are sure to grab the attention of students learning to read or developing their reading skills. The colorful volumes, covering a range of fun and exciting topics, were selected by the staff and purchased through Bob’s Beach Books of Lincoln City. The books are maintained in classroom libraries at the school. In addition to having access to the latest children’s

books, students ages 3 to 5 can prepare book reports and earn Reward for Reading Coupons to redeem at Bob’s Beach Books, Robert’s Bookshop or book fairs. “It’s so fun to share these new books with our students,” said teacher Melissa Collard, who prepared the grant request. “We are grateful that the Walter R. Behrens Foundation recognized the need and awarded us a nice sum so we could create a reading treasure trove for our kids.” Serving infants, children and families of Lincoln City and north Lincoln County for the past three decades, Samaritan Early Learning Center is located on the campus of Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. It holds a five-star rating, the highest quality rating possible from Oregon’s Quality Rating and Improvement System (QRIS).

Construction Services), Cape Foulweather (Michele Riley), and Moolack Beach (Kathy Johnson). There are several beaches still available in the Lincoln City area that are looking for adopters: Salishan Spit, Gleneden Beach, Neskowin, and Winema Beach. Beach adopters receive support for training, a certificate, and their name on the SOLVE

website. Beach Captain, Janet Knipe has been helping clean Lincoln City beaches, specifically Roads End, since 2016. “We we’re really concerned about the trash left on the beach after the Fourth of July… we started our own beach cleanup with SOLVE’s support and that led to more of our neighbors’ support,” Knipe said. “We like the fact that SOLVE is

committed to environmental standards that are very high. They’ve been a great partner through our July 5 cleanups. They approach their projects with a lot integrity…and offer support and education for beach captains.” In years past, the July 5 cleanup at Roads End has brought out 50-100 people. This year, the cleanup continued but in much smaller groups.

“If you’re here because you love the beach, then we all have a responsibly to take care of the beach so that it’s sustainable into the future long after were gone,” Knipe said. In the fall, similar to the Beach Cleanup, SOLVE will be hosting Beach and Riverside Cleanup events from September 19-October 4. “This year because of the pandemic we are going to be

adopting a different approach. We’re not going to invite thousands of people to the Coast for one morning,” Schmidt said. “Volunteer projects around the state will focus on litter removal and habitat restoration in one of Oregon’s many watersheds during those two months.” For more information, to adopt a beach, or sign up for a beach cleanup, visit solveoregon. org or call 503-844-9571.

Schools From page A1

need to be cautious so schools don’t become places where the virus spreads,” Gov. Brown said. In June, the State started creating guidance for school districts in Oregon, giving them three options: all in-person instruction, all distance learning instruction, or a hybrid model, which is a mix of both in person on online instruction. Gov. Brown said planning for the next school year will still be a local decision for school districts. However, the state created new requirements/metrics that will help school districts make their decision based on health data, Gov. Brown says. These metrics were detailed by Dr. Sidelinger. “Parents and guardians need to have confidence that they will not have to risk their children’s health for the sake of their learning, or the learning for the sake of their health by sending kids back to school,” Dr. Sidelinger noted. “There’s no simple statewide answer for Oregon. We need to get our students back to class, but how we do it depends on a number of important factors.” The State considered several factors when coming up with their metrics. Factors include: Prevalence of the virus in the particular community, availability of testing, capacity of their local health care system and readiness of local public health to contain outbreaks that may occur. The first metrics include the level of disease the State would prefer to see in a concentrated area in order for schools to reopen safely. Ideally at the state level they will look to be at or below five percent of positive tests over seven consecutive days for three weeks. At the county level, schools can open for in person instruction if cases drop below 10 per 100,000 people in the population in the proceeding seven days for three weeks. Additionally, positive tests must be at or below five percent during that time. Dr. Sidelinger listed several exceptions to this metric. First included in-person education for students kindergarten through third grade. “Studies show that our younger students, particularly those in kindergarten through third grade and kids

under 10 years old, have lower rates of illness and transmission than older children and adults,” Gov. Brown said. “Providing nurturing and in-person relationships and learning to our youngest children is absolutely critical to developing the reading and language skills and social development necessary for their long term success.” The second exception is for remote and rural districts with under 100 students, which will be permitted to offer on site instruction. These communities often lack online capabilities for distance learning and are in smaller cohorts, according to Dr. Sidelinger. The third exception is for students with disabilities or specific education needs, who will be permitted for on-site education. Dr. Sidelinger said the exceptions may be utilized only if the virus is not actively circulating in the community, meaning the rate in the specific county is less than 30 cases per 100,000 people in a week for three consecutive weeks and the test positivity is at or below five percent for three weeks. The second metrics were created if in face case counts continue to increase. If cases are at 20 per 100,000 people or higher or the positivity rate exceeds 7.5 percent, schools will begin planning to potentially move to distance learning. If case counts reach 30 per 100,000 people or higher and the positivity rate exceeds 10 percent, schools should move to distance learning, according to Dr. Sidelinger. Currently, the state of Oregon is at 50 cases per 100,000 people and the test positivity is approaching five percent. Meaning case rates are higher than they should be to reopen schools, says Sidelinger. In May, the Oregon case rate dropped to 1 case per 100,000 people, which gives Dr. Sidelinger optimism that the state can get back to that transmission rate. “We all have a role to play,” Dr. Sidelinger said. “Gather in small groups, keep your distance and cover your face. We’re seeing some glimmers of hope as Oregonians follow these guidelines… The total number of cases

began to decrease in the past week, hospitalizations are leveling off and our test positivity is declining.” Gov. Brown said the state will continue to take a ‘cautious and careful’ approach to protect public health when reopening in-person instruction in schools. She also stated equity continues to be at the forefront of their decision making, saying that many students have struggled to receive high level education since schools originally closed.

ment, a common platform for students in each school, daily engagement between educators and students, social, emotional and mental health supports, access to quality grade level curriculum and assessment of student progress through Oregon’s academic content standards,” Gill said. Gill said they are also addressing inequities for some students in rural communities by creating requirements for access to technology, school meals and help for students with

“We had to make a decision, and we have. Time is out and the decision is made and will not change.” - LCSD Superintendent Dr. Karen Gray “I am absolutely unwilling to lose an entire school year for kids,” Gov. Brown said. “A year that could be foundational to the life-long opportunities for thousands of Oregon students. I will push... and I will demand nothing but excellence from our districts and educators. But it is also incumbent on all of us to take every measure to slow the disease so that we can get our kids get back into school as soon as possible.” With that in mind, Gov. Brown said she has decided to dip into the Emergency Education Relief Fund by releasing $28 million for public schools to use for distance learning. The funding will be used to provide mobile hotspots for students, computers, online curriculum and teacher training. ODE Director Colt Gill also address the potential of online/distance learning for the fall year but made a point in saying that distance learning in the fall will be different than it looked in spring, as many school districts rushed into a new curriculum model. “This fall’s comprehensive distance learning guidance has rigorous requirements for teacher training, family engage-

specific learning needs. The State funding will address the needs directly. With a plan for distance learning in place, Gill said the main goal is still to return to in-person instruction. “We all, as Oregonians, have a part to play in that,” Gill said. “Opening school to in-person instruction is not a one way journey. If cases increase in local communities, schools will need to move back to comprehensive distance learning to further mitigate spread in that community.” Lincoln County’s Plan On July 31, Lincoln County School District (LCSD) Superintendent Dr. Karen Gray detailed the district’s plans for the fall school year. On June 30, 2020, LCSD proposed the idea of starting school in the fall with a Hybrid Model, meaning that students would come to school in person two days a week and be at home with online learning two days per week as a step to getting back to school full time in-person. However, after case totals rose in Lincoln County in June and July, Dr. Gray said their plan seemed more like wishful thinking.

“As of July 30, we have come off of that watchlist. The numbers are only beginning to come down now but are not low enough long enough to make us believe that it is safe for kids and staff to come back to school in person… For now,” Dr. Gray said. Instead of in-person education, LCSD will begin school Sept. 14 online via their Comprehensive Distance Learning (CDL) plan. Students will access learning online with their LCSD teachers daily, with materials for activities provided as needed. “CDL this fall is more robust has more accountability and more in-depth educational requirements than the Distance Learning we provided in spring,” Dr. Gray said. “Student work will be graded, attendance will be taken and teachers will provide daily instruction from their classroom.” Additionally, Teachers will meet with students and families during the first two weeks of school to orient them to the CDL program and will continue to regularly connect with students and families. These meetings will be in person as much as possible using safety precautions (social distancing, face coverings, sanitizing, cleaning, sneeze-guards, etc.). Between weeks three and eight, LCSD will be continuously evaluating the safety of the community and the safety of the schools to bring hybrid teaching and learning onto the campuses a few grades at a time as soon as possible. LCSD will begin with the youngest kids first. LCSD will also off another program in addition to CDL for students called ‘K-12 Online Edmentum.’ The program serves as LCSD’s own online charter school, using an all online curriculum called Edmentum. The framework is K-12 and follows all Oregon Standards for

Education. The administrator for the program is Zach Lillebo, the Vice Principal of Taft Elementary School in Lincoln City. “He is terrific and is getting up to speed on how our new program will work,” Dr. Gray said. “He will be in charge of this K-12 program full time. This program is self-paced and does not have a connection with an LCSD teacher. There is an expectation of daily participation and progression through the curriculum. Students in K-6 will only have access to the core subjects of Reading, English Language Arts and Math.” Students will be able to move between the two programs but can only make the switch at nineweek grading periods. Dr. Gray said the district is currently working to get all students a device and WIFI hotspots to conduct online work. Also, meals will continue to be delivered daily and may be available for pickup at designated sites soon. As for sports, they are currently prohibited at this time. More information will be forthcoming. “This is not the news we wanted to share with you,” Dr. Gray said. “We wanted to bring kids back on campus, but we can’t do it safely enough. Even with our Blueprint for Reopening document (a draft now) with the many precautions and safeguards it details, we as a county do not have the metrics that allow us to open. “I would also instead take things slowly, begin to see how the numbers turn out and still provide our students with high-quality education as best we can through the online models we are able to provide this fall. It is July 31, and registration starts next week. We had to make a decision, and we have. Time is out and the decision is made and will not change.”

Health Matters by Samaritan Health Services

Easing the pain of bee stings after adventuring outdoors The COVID-19 pandemic has led many people to rediscover outdoor activities, but stopping to smell the flowers sometimes brings a little more excitement than expected when you encounter a bee or wasp. Bees will sting when aggravated or their nest is bothered. And, this time of year, yellow jacket encounters are more common, especially at picnics.

Yellow jackets more aggressive

Honeybees and bumblebees generally only sting when provoked. The more aggressive yellow jacket wasps common to our area can sting many times. In late summer yellow jackets can be found around garbage cans or fallen fruit, at picnics and even inside soda cans. They want to defend their food and will sting to protect it, even chasing intruders for several hundred feet, so leave the area quickly if you are being stung.

A quick flick to dislodge the wasp is preferred over swatting or crushing it, as that can release pheromones that call other yellow jackets to the area. A mild or moderate reaction like pain or swelling at a sting site or on the affected limb is normal and should get better within a week.

What to do after a sting

If there’s a stinger in the wound, remove it with a quick scrape using your fingernail — within a few seconds if possible. Scraping the stinger out rather than squeezing or pulling it may reduce the amount of venom injected. However, it’s more important to remove the stinger quickly than to worry about technique.

Wash the area with soap and water to remove residual venom and reduce the chance of infection. Apply an ice pack for at least 20 minutes to control pain and swelling. Apply a thin layer of hydrocortisone cream or calamine lotion to help with pain and itching, and cover with a bandage. Take an oral antihistamine like Benadryl as soon as possible to help control itching and swelling and watch for signs of a serious reaction.

Severe allergic reactions

A severe allergic reaction called anaphylaxis can be life threatening and should be treated immediately at the emergency department. Allergic reactions will usually occur within an hour of the sting, although very rarely a reaction may occur up to 48 hours later. Only about 3% of people experience anaphylaxis after an insect sting, but if you’ve had it before there is about a 60% chance you’ll have it again. Signs of anaphylaxis include hives; swelling of the throat, lips or tongue; difficulty breathing; feeling lightheaded or dizzy; nausea and

rapid heart rate. Call 911 immediately if you or someone you are with experiences these symptoms after a sting. If you have been prescribed emergency injectable epinephrine like an EpiPen, use it as soon as you notice a reaction. This medication will improve dangerous symptoms like difficulty breathing and low blood pressure. Even if you feel better after using the epinephrine, you will still need to go to the emergency department for evaluation as symptoms can return after the medication wears off. Be sure and tell the medical team what time you took the medicine and your dosage.

Oregon Coast Garage Sale The Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale 11

TheNewsGuard.com

August 5, 2020

By Gretchen Ammerman Oregon Coast TODAY

Computers have been a great shopping aid during quarantine times, but you’ll find them quite resistant to your charms if you try to haggle down a price. Haggling, and finding unexpected treasures, are two of the things that make garage sales so fun, but often a hunt for treasure becomes a hunt for places to find it. Not so with the annual Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale, a previously spring event that, COVID-erced to later in the year, is now happening from Friday, Aug. 7 through Sunday, Aug. 9. “We’ve always had the garage sale event on the third weekend of April,” said Lori ArceTorres, executive director of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce. “When we started looking for a new date, we decided to try to find a weekend in August. It turned out that meant we could now plan it during National Garage Sale Week, so that actually worked out.” Though the number of sale locations is fewer than in previous years, the area where sales are being held has grown considerably. “We’re getting so much more of the county this year,” Arce-Torres said. “It started out in just the greater Lincoln City area, now it’s stretching from Rose Lodge to Yachats.” The Yachats sale will be held at, and is a fundraiser for, the Yachats Lions Club. The charitable vibe is strong at this 2020 event. “Some of our vendors will be allocating

funds raised to non-profits like Relay for Life and the animal shelter,” said Jeanette Campagna, Newport Chamber membership & business programs manager. “That’s such a cool positive thing. “The Newport Chamber is also having a sale that will help continue our mission of supporting local business,” she added. “People that can’t have their own sale have been donating items to that; we’ve even had some of the local businesses like the Sylvia Beach Hotel give us some great stuff.” Browsing can sometimes help you find something you didn’t even know you needed, but a short list of the kind of items that will being lovingly purged includes: camping and RV supplies, kitchen goods, furniture, tools and lots of things for kids. “Look around your house and see what holes you need to fill in,” Arce-Torres said. “If you are one of the many people with more time lately, maybe now you can finally rearrange your house. It’s a fun time to refresh your look or just get a deal on something you’ve needed but have waited to buy because things are tight right now.” Helping yourself find that perfect item for a great price might also help someone else make it through another month. “Because more people than ever are out of work they are looking for creative ways to supplement their income,” Arce-Torres said. “This is something that can help people get by until they can get back to work.” Organizers are urging participating sale

holders to not just clean out their closets and garages, but to also clean the things they are getting out of their closets and garages. “We keep reinforcing the message to the vendors that things need to be clean and disinfected,” Arce-Torres said. “It will be up to the individual vendors to enforce the rules on masks or social distancing, but we all need to be on the same page about what the protocols are. But there are things they can do ahead of time to make it easier, like spreading out the merchandise on the tables so it helps people keep social distance. We’ve told people to spread things out on their lawn if they have to.” Another difference from previous years is the decision to replace the printed map with interactive listings on the Oregon Coast TODAY website. (Turn the page to see print listings) “It will be so much simpler this year since people can just use their smart phones,” ArceTorres said. “They can go through the list and make their own map for the route they choose.” Both Arce-Torres and Campagna have felt positive about putting together this year’s sale, even considering the greater work involved with ensuring public safety and fielding questions about the wisdom of having the event at all. “Garage sales are a great way to get a handle on the chaos in your home,” Arce-Torres said. “But we also feel like this is a way of rising above the COVID chaos.”

Tips for a COVID-safe garage sale Limit the number of shoppers who can browse at any one time. Pick a number you feel comfortable with; and one that is lower than the legal limit for your town (10 for Newport, Depoe Bay, Siletz, Yachats and unincorporated Lincoln County; and 25 for Lincoln City, Toledo and Waldport) Wear a mask, whether you are hosting or shopping. Maintain six feet physical distance from anyone outside your family group. Consider signage to encourage one-way foot traffic. Provide hand sanitizer if you are hosting; or bring some if you are shopping Make sure your items are cleaned (and disinfected, if possible) before shoppers arrive. Consider displaying items on tables rather than putting them in boxes for shoppers to rummage through. Consider using Venmo or another payment app to reduce the amount of physical cash changing hands.
