Lincoln County unemployment tops Oregon

$1.50

An Artistic Tribute

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

During the first five weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, about 333,700 unemployment insurance claims were filed in Oregon and Lincoln County had the highest unemployment rate at 16 percent, just ahead of Clatsop County at 15 percent.

Now, several months later, Lincoln County remains atop the list according to new data released by the Oregon Employment Department.

However, it’s not all bad news for Lincoln County. In fact, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped from last month. It was 15.2 percent in July, down from 17.3 percent in June. In comparison, it was 4.4 percent in July of 2019. Lincoln County has the highest rate in the state, with Clatsop County second at 12.9 percent. The county’s unemployment rate reached a peak of 12.6 percent during the Great Recession.

The statewide unemployment rate was 10.4 percent in July, and the national rate was 10.2 percent.

Also in ODE’s data showed seasonally adjusted non-farm payroll employment

“Morning Star,” is a ground mural crafted by artist Miles Browne that’s located at the 51st St. beach access.

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Four new art murals are on display throughout Lincoln City courtesy of resident Crystal Akins, Activate Arts, Lincoln City Parks and Recreation and local artists.

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.

“The inspiration of the project was to address isolation, to interrupt that isolation through community and art making,” said Akins, who completed the ’Vibrations’ mural at Regatta Park.

“I’m hoping that people take away a feeling of joy and hope and possibility and curiosity to keep exploring and connecting with each other.”

Other murals included ‘The Octopus at Nelscott Reef,’ crafted by Todd Beaty, ‘Hannunvaakuna,’ painted by Ashlin Bush at the Community Center

and a tribute piece called ‘Morning Star,’ by Miles Browne at 51st St./Taft.

“This one in particular is to honor a local tribal elder named Grandma Agnes,” Browne said. “She was instrumental in bringing back what’s called the ‘Salmon Ceremony.’ Hence the salmon as the main focal point and dragonflies were very important to her.

“I love that it’s on the ground.

People can interact with it. It’s really bringing these communities together.

We’ve also been working with some local kids around, so they have gotten to contribute as well.”

LCSD and teachers work to resolve concerns

With the upcoming school year just a few short weeks away, the Lincoln County School District (LCSD) and other school districts across the nation, are faced with unseen challenges amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite the plans to shift classes to an online (Distance Learning for All) format, there are still some concerns for a few staff members, according to the Lincoln County Education Association (LCEA).

Over the weekend, the LCEA sent a letter to LCSD administrative staff expressing that some Lincoln County teachers would feel more safe teaching from home as opposed to teaching from the classroom each school day.

“Many teachers have, or live with someone who has, pre-existing health conditions and/or are high risk for complications from COVID-19,” the LCEA stated in their letter.

“The district is refusing to

allow teachers in this situation to work from home. COVID-19 affects everyone, not just people with pre-existing health concerns or those who are high risk. The district is requiring that elementary teachers meet in person with families.

This will expose teachers and families to hundreds of other possible virus carriers.

They could become vectors

to transmit the virus to other members of our community resulting in further delay of opening schools for in-person instruction.”

The LCEA noted that 26 school districts in Oregon are allowing teachers to work from, stating that some districts are even encouraging it or not allowing teachers in their building. Another area

of concern is lack of childcare for teachers who are required to report in-person. The LCEA letter state that many teachers are considering taking leave in order to care for their children.

“Finding childcare has always been a struggle in Lincoln County,” the LCEA group said. “With the addition of the pandemic, childcare is even more scarce. If many of

our teachers take leave, who is going to educate the children in this community?

“There are not enough substitutes to step in. Allowing teachers flexibility frees up daycare for parents whose jobs cannot be performed at home.”

The letter ended by urging LCSD administrative staff to reconsider their decision and allow teachers to teach from home if they so choose.

“Teaching is a lifestyle we have all chosen because we want to teach children,” the LCEA said. “Each of us has chosen to live and work in Lincoln County. We are part of this community, and we are invested in it.

“We are parents. We are spouses. We are friends. We are coaches. We are co-workers.

We are caregivers. We are in this with you. We are concerned for the safety of ourselves and our students - yours and ours. Show us that you are with us in this community

COVID-19: ‘Keep the pressure on,’ says health officials CHRISTINE MENGES chronicle2@countrymedia.net State health officials report progress in the declining COVID-19 cases in Oregon, but still challenges in slowing the spread, and reopening schools.

According to Oregon Health Authority (OHA), the state experienced five more COVID-19 deaths as of Aug. 27, bringing the state’s death count to 438.

The OHA also reported 212 more cases the day of Aug. 27, bringing the state’s total case count of confirmed and presumptive cases to 25,761.

However, OHA Director Patrick Allen said new numbers highlight progress is being made. Those numbers show a 13 percent drop in new infections from Aug. 17 through Aug. 23. The test positivity rate has also dropped from 5.4 percent to 5.1 percent within the last week. And there has been a 41 percent decrease in hospitalization since Aug. 14, Allen said.

“We’re headed in the right direction, but we need to keep the pressure on to further slow the spread of the virus,” Allen said.

Allen and state epidemiologist Dr. Dean Sidelinger said that post reopening cases

have shown to be falling after holidays, such as Mother’s Day, Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Allen said as the state heads into Labor Day, he is cautioning people to strongly rethink their celebration plans and limit their social gatherings outside of their household.

To illustrate how the virus quickly can spread through the community, Sidelinger outlined two stories of family get-togethers that resulted in many more cases of COVID-19.

One example was a group of 10 people who got together for a family party. The get-together led to 20 reported cases in 10 different households, according to Sidelinger. At least two of the people in the outbreak worked with vulnerable populations, Sidelinger said, and another lived in a multi-generational house with family members with high-risk medical conditions.

“So even though the people who went to the party may not have considered themselves at a higher risk for complications, many of the people who got sick potentially exposed individuals who are more vulnerable to complications,” Sidelinger said.

Another example was a

group of approximately 20 people who took a three-day vacation to a beach house. Twelve of those individuals got sick with COVID-19, and they had links to five workplace outbreaks, totaling over 300 cases.

“These examples show that

even a small number of people, if they have multiple exposures can lead to large number of cases,” Sidelinger said. “This is why we take actions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 to protect our family, our friends, our coworkers, and our neighbors.”

Sidelinger said he could not release county location of the outbreaks for confidentiality reasons.

During a telephone media briefing on Aug. 27, Allen and Sidelinger also discussed metrics for reopening schools.

“While our COVID-19 data shows we are doing better than many other states, the virus continues to be a threat in our communities, and we’re not close to keeping the infection rate at a level where we need to safely reopen all schools across Oregon,” Sidelinger said.

In order to reopen schools, counties need a rate of infection of less than five percent and a case count of equal to or less than 10 per 100,000 population.

Those numbers were gleaned from the success of other countries that reopened schools without massive outbreaks resulting from the reopening, according to Sidelinger.

“The real key ends up being, getting to a place where coronavirus is rare enough in the community that when it does pop up, it pops up in isolated pockets that can easily be surrounded and dealt with,” Sidelinger said.

Kids fishing equipment available at Lincoln County libraries THE NEWS GUARD ODFW and several Lincoln County public libraries are making it easier than ever for kids 17 years of age and younger to discover fishing.

ODFW has recently relocated several fishing equipment lending libraries to public libraries in Lincoln City, Toledo and Newport along the central Oregon coast. Kids in these communities will have access to everything they need to get started with recreational fishing at the libraries.

Each library is stocked with rods and reels that can be checked out for up to two weeks, plus starter tackle kits that kids can

keep. Each library also has five practice poles that are designed for indoor or outdoor casting practice by younger anglers. These poles are outfitted with rubber casting plugs that are used to reel in plastic fish that are also available at the fishing libraries.

The libraries are also stocked with free informational materials including the ODFW publication Easy Angling Oregon, Oregon’s common salmon and trout identification cards, and instructions on how to clean and keep your catch.

Funding for the lending libraries was provided by ODFW’s Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program.

“Many kids’ activities have been canceled due

to Covid-19 and families are spending more time outdoors instead,” said Christine Clapp, ODFW fish biologist in Newport.

“We don’t want the lack of equipment to be a barrier to any child who wants to go fishing.”

Lincoln County also has a small community of ODFW certified angler education instructors who are available to help. If families would like assistance learning how to fish, they can request help from ODFW’s Salmon and Trout Enhancement Program (Christine.M.Clapp@state. or.us, 541-961-6386).

Lessons will be provided on a first come first served basis, and participants and instructors will wear masks when social distancing can’t be maintained.

Youth fishing equipment is available for curbside check-out using a library card at the following locations and times.

All participants will need a parent or guardian to sign a liability waiver prior to borrowing equipment.

Call to reserve your gear; equipment must be ordered prior to pick-up. If you prefer to reserve online, try searching fishing

rod in the library catalog.

Driftwood Public Library, 801 SW Hwy 101 #201, Lincoln City, 541-996-2277 Monday - Friday from 1 - 5 p.m.

Toledo Public Library, 173 NW 7th St, Toledo, 541-336-3132 Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 10 a.m. - noon and 3 - 5 p.m.

Newport Public Library, 35 NW Nye St, Newport, 541265-2153 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday from noon - 5:30 p.m.

As a reminder, children 11 and under do not need an angling license to go fishing in Oregon. Youth 12 and over must have a valid youth license, which can be purchased for $10 at www.myODFW.com and covers fishing, hunting and shellfish along with the

Columbia River Basin Endorsement. Adults who are interested in learning to fish and don’t have access to equipment may be able to check-out equipment starting in mid-September, after we have a better idea of youth participation.

County Clerk confident ballots will be mailed in on time THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln County Clerk Dana Jenkins and his team are gearing up for the November general election. Jenkins wants to reassure the public that they are fully prepared to record Lincoln County’s votes.

Oregon became the first state in the country to go an exclusively vote-by-mail system more than two decades ago. In a recent newsletter, Oregon Secretary of State Bev Clarno said the state’s long relationship with the United States Postal Service helps give her confidence that the Oregon vote will go smoothly.

Jenkins has served as Lincoln County Clerk since 1991 and has been in charge for every local election during the mail ballot era.

“We are confident that our ballots will be in the hands of

Lincoln County voters by October 16th and 17th,” Jenkins said.

The county’s mailing service will deliver local ballots to the Portland USPS processing

plant on October 14th.

If a voter is planning to return the ballot through the Postal Service, Jenkins recommends mailing it by October 27. Ballots left at drop boxes

anytime until 8 p.m. on November 3 will be collected and counted.

The USPS has told Clarno’s office that Oregon should have “sufficient time for voters to receive, complete, and return their ballots by the state’s Election Day return deadline.”

Under a law passed by the Legislature in 2019, ballots dropped at Post Offices no longer require postage. However, voters continue to have the option of using several ballot drop boxes that the Clerk’s Office maintains during election cycles.

Recently, Jenkins has been refurbishing and placing ballot drop boxes at the Courthouse and around the county.

Boxes are available at city halls in the following communities—Lincoln City, Newport, Depoe Bay, Siletz, Waldport and Yachats. Toledo’s ballot box

is located in the Toledo Police Station parking lot. Additionally, a drop box is offered at Eddyville School on Election Day. All boxes are secured and their contents are picked up by elections staff.

The Secretary of State’s newsletter adds: “If any Oregon voter is concerned about the upcoming election in November, there are multiple steps they can take to ensure their ballot is received in time to be counted. Every ballot envelope has a unique barcode so voters can track their ballot on our My Vote website. We also encourage voters to take advantage of the hundreds of conveniently located drop sites throughout the state to drop off their ballot in person.”

effort for our students to return to in -person learning as quickly and safely as possible.”

Dr. Gray Letter to Staff In what was not intended to be a direct response to the LCEA, LCSD Superintendent Dr. Karen Gray wrote to staff this week as the school district prepares for the 2020-21 school year.

Dr. Gray acknowledged that some teachers believe teaching from home is the best method going forward, but explained why LCSD ultimately decided against it.

“While I absolutely agree we must provide quality distance learning, as an organization, this is not best delivered from teachers’ homes,” Dr. Gray said. “Working in our classrooms, accessing school resources and following organized and uninterrupted schedules maximizes our ability to provide quality distance education to our students.”

Dr. Gray said as a team, LCSD is constantly working to improve their Comprehensive Distance Learning and Edmentum learning frameworks (LCSD’s two options for online schooling).

“We will follow Oregon Department of Education comprehensive distance learning requirements (more than 50 percent of instruction must be synchronously taught by the teacher), work with our classified staff to support gaps in learning, have access to technical support, and moreover prepare ourselves to bring students back to the classrooms in the coming year if and when our safety metrics allow it.”

Dr. Gray reiterated that this new method of distance learning will be much improved from last spring’s “crisis teaching,’ and that the ultimate goal is to get students back in the classroom. For the majority of instructional staff, while under distance education for students, Dr.

CRUISIN for COINS

Gray said they will be working in a vacant 900 square foot classroom with a fully effective air flow exchange HVAC system and no students. Each room is stocked with sanitizers and is professionally cleaned, as well as the bathrooms. In addition, all staff in the building must follow all social distance and face-covering protocols from OHA and ODE. “You have been able to keep yourselves safe at Safeway, Fred Meyer and Walmart, so at school, the same rules apply. And our classrooms are safer and cleaner,” Dr. Gray told staff.

Dr. Gray also noted that the district has been working with LCEA on a plan that will allow anyone in the school district that feels or perceives that they are “at risk” and comes to work in the physical building as required, to choose to alert their school administration that they will work from their classroom and remotely participate in any or all work from their classroom until they feel safe to

join small groups socially distanced, work alone in their classroom (some may have educational assistants working with them that they are used to working with), work from home on Wednesdays participating fully and can use their prep time to prep from home for the length of time of prep.

The LCEA and District meet again this week to finalize an agreement.

Additionally, LCSD is waiting for the state to allow them to place LCSD child care workers into safe and healthy and monitored spaces they have found in all four areas that are not school district spaces.

“We have already received permission from our legal counsel and ODE Deputy Superintendent Colt Gill. I just need the Early Learning Division to give us the green light as ‘emergency child care.’ This can help a lot of staff. I cannot promise but again, I am hopeful. We are working hard to make this happen as soon as possible,” Dr. Gray said.

Businesses secure tuition-free access to SBDC programs THE NEWS GUARD

With Lincoln County holding the ignominious title of “highest unemployment rate” in Oregon for much of the COVID-19 pandemic, and with two of the hardest-hit business sectors – dining and lodging – being so prevalent in the Lincoln City economy, it is well past time for at least a glimmer of good news for Lincoln City

businesses.

Just such a glimmer shone forth on Monday, Aug. 24, when the Lincoln City City Council voted unanimously to fund scholarships for small businesses seeking to attend workshops through the Oregon Coast Community College Small Business Development Center.

“Small business is the backbone of Lincoln

Austin L Kasner

City,” said Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson after the vote. “We feel it is important to keep these business owners educated and up to date in this environment and for the future. Business supports our community and we are pleased to be able to step up and give back in return.”

The city’s scholarship program is part of Lincoln City’s “Economic Tool Kit,”

the same source of funds such as zero-percent loans businesses can use for façade improvements, business expansion projects, and more. Once limited to businesses physically located within Lincoln City’s Urban Renewal District, the scholarship program approved Aug. 24 covers the cost of SBDC workshops for any business located within the city limits. Included in the program are a limited number of scholarships for the SBDC’s year-long Small Business Management Program.

The council’s actions also included setting aside up to $10,000 to cover the costs of advising services for Lincoln City businesses over the next twelve months.

Thanks to the scholarship, Lincoln City businesses can register for any of the workshops planned for the Fall 2020 term (lineup is online, at oregoncoast.edu/sbdc) at no out-of-pocket expense, while funds last on a firstcome, first-served basis.

Tax and other revenue streams,” said SBDC Director Dave Price. “This makes us even more grateful for this renewed investment in the continuing education and support of the city’s small business owners. If ever there was a time for business owners to need every tool available to them, it’s now – as they approach an ‘off-season’ that no one can really predict, and as we all work together towards recovery.”

support for local small businesses. Last year, the city approved a similar amount – this is the eighth consecutive year of such support – but less than half of the approved amount was spent.

“The SBDC only submits invoices for scholarships for programs and workshops businesses actually attend,” Price said.

“And with the near-total shutdown of our Spring and Summer terms, a lot of programs were switched to remote delivery and made free to all businesses anyway.”

If your business is located within Lincoln City city limits, you’re eligible for free tuition into the Small Business Management Program or any Small Business course, on topics such as financial statements, social media marketing, bookkeeping, personnel management, and more.

Business located elsewhere in the county may be eligible for some other scholarships (for the SBM Program), and workshops start at just $25.

The SBDC strives to provide free, confidential, one-on-one business advising to anyone who requests it. Learn more, and find the complete Fall 2020 workshop lineup at oregoncoast.edu/sbdc. Or, September 2, 2020 call Dave Price at 541-9944166.

Gomberg: Parkocalypse and Public Dollars Hello Friends, Practical Responses to Parkocalypse: Last week I wrote about the Parkocalypse at the Beach.

In hindsight, it may not have been clear whether I was talking about our public parks, or the cars parked everywhere in and around them. Both were on my mind when I met with decision makers from State Parks, ODOT, Oregon State Police, and our local sheriffs and county commissioners.

One reader wrote to say that meetings are all well and good, but what is actually being done about the problem?

Steps are now being taken to increase enforcement of illegal parking, ticketing “unsafely parked cars”, and towing vehicles when needed. I encouraged ODOT to share temporary highway signs that are now advising travelers to keep driving when lots are full. More than a dozen new advisory and “No Parking” signs will be installed along U.S. 101. Some parking lots may be relined to more clearly show where people are and are not allowed to park.

The great majority of visitors are behaving well, exercising health precautions and spending money that our local small businesses sorely need. Clearly some are proving terrible guests, leaving behind piles of trash and dumping garbage inside portable toilets.

The parks department had to cut back the frequency of its trash pickup following a severe budget shortfall and layoffs in June. Park officials have been asking visitors to pack out their trash instead of relying on trash bins. Sadly that effort has had limited success.

In response, some parks on the north coast will now see increased trash and restroom service where money and staffing are available. Aside from parking

COURTESY PHOTO

Rep. David Gomberg provided another weekly update for House District 10. Read more at thenewsguard.com. legally and packing out trash, park officials are also asking people to consider visiting mid-week and early in the day, and to use restrooms before arriving or after leaving the park.

Some people are calling for public parks to simply close. I’m encouraging the opposite – to open those few waysides still closed and relieve a bit of pressure. Closing parks or parking areas moves the problem from one area to another, and often drives traffic into residential neighborhoods.

Summer is always busy at the beach and this year that has been exceptionally true. The surge in traffic creates quality of life issues for people who live here as well as environmental and health issues. Simply put, trash and illegal parking cause stress for people who live near our parks and a lousy experience for visitors who arrive to a crowded, overused spot.

“If you love the coast, show it,” State Parks Director Lisa Sumption said in a news release Friday. “Take care of it and yourselves with some very simple

steps.”

Emergency Money Went Fast!

I also wrote last week about a legislative program to provide $500 emergency relief payments to Oregonians still waiting for unemployment benefits. Not surprisingly, that money went very quickly. The program details were announced Wednesday and by Thursday, it was clear all funds would be accounted for by Monday.

Funds were distributed by 150 banks and credit unions that volunteered to participate. As soon as we had the locations, my office emailed every single person who had been in contact with us asking for help with benefits.

We sent out a special newsletter that morning and also informed local media. I urged people to act quickly! As far as I can tell, our office was the first to share this information.

Whenever a new program, however well-intended, is rolled out fast, there will be problems.

I was concerned that in many of our rural communities, people

had to drive an hour to reach one of the few participating banks. I was concerned that people needing the money the most would be least able to make those trips.

Banks were not “means testing” which is to say that anyone claiming financial hardship got a check and not just people with dire hardships. Smaller banks were taking appointments while larger banks allowed applicants to line up. I was worried money would run out before appointments could be held. And finally, I worried that those larger banks were in our larger cities and would process more applicants more quickly.

Early on I reached out to the legislative office managing this program and asked them to hold back funds for people with appointments. I asked the project not operate on weekends since smaller banks tend to be closed on weekends. I asked about distribution patterns and was told on the first day, 60% of the funds were disbursed outside the metropolitan area.

Thirty-five million dollars has now been distributed to 70,000 Oregon claimants. If you have an appointment, you can still get a check. If you don’t have an appointment, you have waited too long. I’ll be looking at the details of this distribution program to see how well it worked in rural and coastal communities and how we can do better if there is a next time.

Again, appointments for these funds through August 31 will be honored. If your appointment is scheduled for September, please call the financial institution you applied through to verify.

Time to Change With the world going through cataclysmic changes around me it’s time to take stock of my actions.

I need to wake up from the slumber of living unconsciously and become a conscious participant in my community and partake in the democracy which governs it. Being an angry helpless bystander doesn’t help repair what’s been broken.

What I absolutely can’t do is to continue what I’ve done in the past -- those actions and inactions which have put the world in jeopardy.

I understand the hesitation to change and the need to deny the cold hard facts of climate change reality. I would love to return to the good old days and business as usual; however, that is proving to be impossible lest I risk all that I hold precious. Since the Industrial Revolution began, humanity became subject to 1) the notion that everything in

generosity.

I now recognize the sanctity, privilege and preciousness of life, mine and others. Another gift Covid has brought me is the understanding of how rapidly the Earth can heal itself if given the chance.

Just from one week to the next I have noticed clearer skies, less noise, less pollution, less traffic and the sound of song birds not jets filling the air.

Seems that the reasonable thing to do is to encourage what Mother Nature has thrust upon me -- that is, to care. As has been clearly proven,

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY business boils down to money, and 2) the fallacious idea of the possibility of infinite growth on a finite planet.

For example, because of my/our excessive lifestyle coupled with the use of fossil fuels the oceans have warmed as well as been overfished. This has led to the decline of all sea life to half the numbers it was since 1980 according to the World Wildlife Fund and ABC News.

If we continue our business as usual, by 2050 the oceans will be rendered mostly dead. And this is only one sad fact of a thousand others that demonstrate the degradation of our Earth.

Now in comes Covid 19 to focus my attention on the consequences of careless action. I, along with most of the rest of my community, have become much more careful since the pandemic started. I now see Lincoln County citizens reach out to one another like never before with color blindness and

we humans have been the perpetrators and designers of the mess we are in.

Therefore, we might very well redesign our way back to a more healthy and happy lifestyle. I want to work together with others regardless of their affiliations, race and beliefs to do this. Let’s start by putting care and love back into the equation of our governance.

Local and state elections will soon be held.

To my mind those who might best deliver these qualities are; Cynthia Jacobi, Beatrize Botello and Dietmar Goebel all

running for Newport City Council as well as Mellissa Cribbens for State Senate Seat #5 and Sandy Roumagoux, candidate for Newport Mayor.

Don’t be fooled by the myth that voting doesn’t count. It does, and never so much as today. Please vote for progressive, thoughtful and responsive leaders.

Providing structure helps children to thrive in uncertain times

By Lindsey Felix, PhD Samaritan Neuropsychology – Albany

practical application of math and fractions.

Observing and identifying bugs, leaves, trees and animals outside inspires later research.

We’re all facing challenges in these unprecedented times, as we support children’s learning and keep them entertained and stimulated — all while working from home and managing daily responsibilities.

11. Be flexible. Have a plan for the week but adjust it as the week progresses, as needed.

12. Schedule virtual playdates for your child. Even if the children do not talk much, they can show one another their toys, what they did that day, etc.

Many parents are struggling to establish good routines that will work for their children. Here are some tips that may help provide structure and predictability.

1.

Use a visual schedule to detail activities for the day. This is best done with color-coded sticky notes or pens. For example, red could represent reading, green could represent science, etc.

Frequently remind children where they are in the schedule and cross off or remove tasks as they are completed.

2. Follow a consistent routine as much as possible, with schoolwork, lunch and recess, etc., occurring at the same times each day.

3. Designate breaks throughout the day. Provide a few choices such as coloring, jumping jacks or puzzles – but no screen time.

4. Work during chunks of time, rather than until a task is complete.

5.

Praise your child for their effort on tasks, not on the accuracy of their work.

6. Use visual timers, such as an hourglass or timer

on the oven. If your child cannot tell time, there are apps that use visual cues rather than numbers.

7.

Create a visual tracker for progress on tasks, such as an outline of a thermometer shaded in as your child makes progress. For example, if they are writing a five-paragraph essay and have finished one paragraph, 20% of the thermometer should be shaded.

8. Frontload your child’s schedule with most of the academic work completed earlier in the day when children are fresher. Avoid screens before academic work begins, as it can be difficult to transition from screens to schoolwork.

9. Reserve screen time and favorite activities for when you or other adults need to get work done undisturbed.

10. Incorporate learning into everyday activities.

For example, cooking and baking allow for

13. Be patient with yourself and your child. If a day does not go well, try to determine where/why/ how it was derailed and adjust the next day (i.e., too few breaks, material was very challenging, children were fighting).

14. Adjust your expectations of yourself and your child. Most parents are not teachers and children are not used to interacting with their parents as teachers. Your child may take longer to grasp new concepts than they typically do. They will benefit from practice and seeing the information many times (i.e., flashcards).

Be sure to talk to your child about how they are feeling and provide ways they can cope such as deep breathing, distraction with music, playing with pets or calling a friend. If you or your child are really struggling during this time, please call your health care provider.

Lindsey Felix, PhD, ABPP-CN, provides neuropsychological assessments for pediatric patients at Samaritan clinics throughout the midWillamette Valley.

Eat your way to better health and immunity

We know the importance of hand washing, physical distancing and wearing face masks to minimize the spread of the coronavirus. Boosting our immune system through the foods we eat can make a difference, too, because a strong immune system is the body’s first defense against infection.

“The immune system is best prepared to fight viruses when it is fueled by nutrient-rich foods and when we avoid foods that weaken it, such as high-fat foods, especially saturated fats,” said Mica Ward, RD, clinical dietitian coordinator at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital.

To eat right for immune health, Ward offers four key suggestions:

Eat foods high in nutrients

the remaining one-quarter whole grains or healthy starch, Ward suggested.

Zinc. Studies have shown that without zinc, a person can be more susceptible to disease and illness.

Also, zinc helps with healing wounds. The good news is that most Americans get enough zinc from the food they eat. Many common foods contain the mineral, including lean meats such as chicken and turkey, some seafoods, whole grains and milk.

Unemployment From page A1

increase by 90 in July to 15,800 jobs. Seasonally adjusted figures compare expected changes with actual changes. A gain of 280 jobs was expected for the month, but the county’s total non-farm employment increased by 370. The private sector added 570 jobs and government employment fell by 200.

The leisure and hospitality sector added 540 jobs and retail trade grew by 30 jobs. Local government education cut 210 jobs over the summer break.

Other industries had smaller

changes.

July’s total non-farm employment numbers in Lincoln County show a loss of 2,980 jobs compared with one year before, a decrease of 15.2 percent. Almost every major industry lost jobs over the year. Leisure and hospitality accounted for most of the drop with a loss of 1,530 jobs, down 28.6 percent from the year before.

“Broadly speaking, a couple trends stand out,” wrote Representative David Gomberg in response to the data. “Leisure

and hospitality industries in our counties are seeing more growth than anticipated. That’s good news for restaurants and bars which were among the hardest hit by this pandemic.

“However, local government employment in education is unsurprisingly down given the unlikelihood of returning to in-person school this fall. I hear regularly from coastal business owners saying that they are having trouble finding employees. That is always the case in the summer.

But it is exceptionally true this

summer.

“Sadly, I believe too many are struggling to return to work given the lack of affordable child care options in our district and ongoing health fears.”

Rep. Gomberg and Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson both alluded to the issue of child care when addressing the high unemployment rate in Lincoln County. Gomberg encouraged citizens to take a look at the emergency child care provider application if you have the ability to look out for kids, stating that “The more

child care options we have, the better our recovery can proceed.”

“As a City and individually, we are attempting to support our businesses and reduce any concerns regarding health and safety,” Mayor Anderson added. “ Maybe not reduce but rather educate and find solutions to ease the concerns. Child care is by far the biggest hurdle at the moment.

Everyone is trying to find that answer. We know it is the key to getting the economy and jobs back on track.”

Small businesses are cutting costs during the pandemic with energy incentives

New LED lighting at La Tapatia 2 makes shopping easier for customers while store owners save thousands in energy costs each year.

PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE IS ABOUT HAVING THE RIGHT TOOLS. With a tool box of knowledge, rebates, trade ally contractors and discounts at local retailers, Energy Trust of Oregon is helping people at home and at work save energy, reduce their carbon footprint and lower their energy bills dramatically.

Serving customers of Portland General Electric, Pacific Power, NW Natural, Cascade Natural Gas and Avista.

Projects meant to bring down utility bills are doing much more for small businesses in Oregon – some are making properties safer and more convenient for customers.

Juan Alavarez owns La Tapatia 2, a Mexican grocery and meat market in Gresham.

He recently installed new energy-efficient LED lighting to replace the outdated lighting outside his store with help from Energy Trust of Oregon. Although he was looking for energy savings, the upgrade brought some additional, unexpected benefits to his business. Alvarez says his building is now safer and there’s less vandalism.

Inside the store, Alavarez also replaced all of the overhead fluorescent lighting with LEDs, which has helped lighten up darker corners. That makes it easier for customers to see what’s on each store shelf. “The first day after installation, customers commented that they could see our products better,” said Alvarez.

The upgrades inside and out are saving La Tapatia 2 an estimated $2,600 each year in energy costs. But the store only had to a pay about 20% of the $34,000 project cost to purchase and install the new lighting, thanks to incentives offered by Energy Trust. Energy Trust is a nonprofit created by the State of Oregon to connect more people to sustainable, affordable energy and clean, renewable power.

Energy Trust provides cash incentives to individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities and others for equipment and projects that help use less energy.

Since 2002, Energy Trust has provided incentives to thousands of Gresham families, businesses, schools, farms and ranches for energy upgrades, helping Gresham utility customers save more than $40 million on utility bills from participation in Energy Trust.

Visit energytrust.org/this-is-oregon to see more of how Energy Trust is helping small businesses around the state.

“The new lighting is brighter and not easily breakable. Security is better. Customers and neighbors say it looks amazing.”

Salishan Golf Links hosts Pro-Am event LINDA REID

Professional golfers from around the state gathered at Salishan Golf Links last Wednesday to participate in a Pro-Am event sponsored by the Oregon Chapter of the Professional Golfers Association of America.

The “Pros,” mostly teaching professionals at other golf clubs, teamed up with amateurs from their clubs, one Pro and three amateurs per team.

The day’s format was “3 Nets;” each foursome took the team’s three

lowest net (handicapped) scores on each hole as their team score.

“The PGA schedules these events throughout the golf season in Oregon,” said Tom Graves, Salishan’s Head Golf Professional. “The series gives golf professionals a chance to play a number of courses around the state. Each event has a different format, which makes it very fun for everyone.”

Salishan was represented in two of the 22 participating teams.

Graves teamed up with

David St. George, John Iwamura and Rick Hatton to finish in fourth place with a score of eight under par.

Scott Barrett, Jim Paige and David Veit played with Jared Lambert from Meadow Lakes Golf Course (Prineville, Ore.) to finish in 16th place at three over par.

The team event winners were Danny Moore, Scott Ness, Jaydee Rediger and Jeff Newman from Creekside Golf Course (Salem, Ore.), who had a final score of 16 under par.
