LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

Wild weather a wake-up call for preparedness

DAILY NEWS ONLINE thenewsguard.com

Jeremy C. Ruark jruark@countrymedia.net

A powerful series of wind and rainstorms that swept through Lincoln City and across Oregon last weekend should be a wake-up call for local residents to be prepared for any natural disaster, according to emergency management officials. “As usual, we weathered the storms, but the majority of residents in Lincoln County are not prepared for

an extended disaster,” said Virginia “Jenny” Demaris, Lincoln County emergency manager. Demaris said many people are not informed with the hazards associated with their communities and neighborhoods. “We have such a population that has moved here from California and other regions and they might not understand that these types of storms may take out power for several days and

simple landsides can occur that will close roads for weeks,” said Demaris. Dozens of people braved the wild weather Saturday to attend the Lincoln County Emergency Readiness SEE VIDEO AT Fair held in Newport. THENEWSGUARD.COM “We had over 400 people at the event,” said Demaris. “Considering it was a torrential downpour that day, that says something.”

drill, Thompson comforted victims trapped in a vehicle that had been struck by the plane as it crashed. She spent several minutes holding one victim’s head while other firefighters worked to get the victims free from the wreckage. “You don’t think about the emotions as you go though such an event,” said Thompson. “You just get it done and you have time to think about it later. We want the victims to know that we care about them, we’re here for them, and we are going to get the out.”

I’m proud to say a new era has dawned for the Lincoln City News Guard. • For one thing, this city’s longest-operating community newspaper is in a new, multimediafriendly building at 1818 N.E. 21 St., on the hillside south of the Lincoln City Community Center. The facility gives us the opportunity to offer you much more than just a weekly newspaper. It provides us with the space to give you more information and marketing via print, online, mobile and social media platforms. What’s more, The News Guard now has a new publisher. Frank Perea joined our organization a couple of weeks ago and quickly went to work. “I’m extremely excited to have the opportunity to be the publisher of The News Guard, with its rich tradition of local reporting and being relevant to the diverse readership and businesses throughout Lincoln County,” said Perea. Perea replaces interim

NLFR crews work to deal with victims in a mass casualty drill at the Taft Fire Station.

Plane drill helps train local rescuers Jeremy C. Ruark jruark@countrymedia.net

North Lincoln Fire and Rescue District #1 (NLFR) held its second mass casualty drill Monday night, Sept. 30, at the Taft Fire Station. The drill scenario involved a small plane crashing into two cars in the middle of Lincoln City. The training is designed to give members of NLFR, Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members, Depoe Bay Fire, Pacific West Ambulance and others, handson experience dealing with such an emergency.

DLWID seeks approval of grass carp to clean Devils Lake The Devils Lake Water Improvement District (DLWID) will go before the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission Friday, Oct. 4, in an appeal to reconsider the current restrictions on the use of grass carp in Devils Lake. Grass carp have been used in Devils Lake beginning as far back 1986 to control invasive aquatic weeds. Since the last stocking in 1993, regulations have changed. Currently, only privately owned lakes of less than 10 acres are eligible. Devils Lake is 680 acres, is publicly owned, and as such has multiple public access points and vari-

ous ownerships. As a local government, the Devils Lake Water Improvement District is also barred from the application process. Paul Robertson, DLWID lake manager, said the carp is an important environmental piece to the lake’s long-term health. “The grass carp maintain the vegetation control out in the lake,” said Robertson. “Without them we would likely see a resurgence of non-native exotic vegetation which would lead to a resurgence of non-native exotic fish which are known to feed on Coho smolts.” Robertson said there are few options if the Commission denies the DLWID appeal. “Our options would be

Work has stalled again at the Dutch Brothers coffee shop site in the 800 block of Highway 101 in Lincoln City. Lincoln City Community and Development Director Richard Townsend said a new wall along the east side of the development is the latest challenge. “We discovered that the wall was in the wrong place and was too high,” said Townsend. “From the survey markers, it appears the wall is 20 inches into the right-ofway of Highway 101.” Townsend said the City expressed concerns about the wall to property owner and developer James Ruggeri and work at the site was halted. “We have had a number of meetings with Mr. Ruggeri and his representatives and they have been responsive,” said Townsend. This is the second time the Dutch Brothers project has been delayed because of a wall issue. Work to build a retaining wall at the site

Flu shots offered with range of vaccines

A wide array of influenza vaccines are available this year to help keep you from getting the flu, establish “herd immunity” and limit the spread of flu viruses. The standard flu shot that has been used for decades — a vaccination containing three strains of influenza, is created each year with scientists’ best guess as to what will be going around during flu season. In recent years, nasal spray, higher-dose, and intradermal (into the skin) options have been introduced, and recently new vaccines have been developed, containing four strains of influenza – known as quadrivalent. Your primary care provider will help you decide which vaccinations are most appropriate for you and your family members. To help clarify the types of shots, the following is a list of flu vaccines that will be

available through Samaritan Health Services this year. Standard dose trivalent shots: The trivalent flu vaccine contains three strains of flu viruses — this year’s version contains strains H1N1 and H3N2, and an influenza B virus. Pediatric doses of this shot are available. High-dose trivalent shot: With higher amounts of influenza virus proteins, and this shot can speed up the immune response. Approved for people 65 and older, this vaccine is designed to protect the elderly from more serious effects and complications of the flu, including pneumonia and death. Intradermal trivalent vaccine: Injected into the skin instead of the muscle, this method uses a panel of tiny microneedles to inject the vaccine into the skin. This shot is for people who hate the regular shots, and is approved for people 18

through 64 years of age. The jury is out on whether it really hurts less than the regular shots. Standard dose quadrivalent flu vaccine: Given as a nasal spray, this vaccine is approved for healthy people 2 through 49 years of age, this application protects against four types of flu viruses, and is most commonly used to vaccinate young children who are upset by needles. Call your doctor’s office to schedule an appointment to get your shot. If you don’t have a primary care provider, call the Physician Referral Network toll free at 1-800-863-5241 to help you find a doctor who is right for you. For more information, contact a Samaritan primary care clinic. Flu shot clinics are also offered through the Lincoln County Health and Human Services Department. Call 541-265-0416.

Homeless Connect set Friday Organizers of the seventh annual Project Homeless Connect expect to serve more than 200 guests from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, at the Church of Nazarene, 227 N.W. 12th St. in Newport. The first Homeless Connect was held in San Francisco in 2004. Since then, it’s been replicated in hundreds of communities across the United States. It was brought to Lincoln County in 2007 to mark the official launch of “At Home in Lincoln County,” the community plan to address homelessness and affordable housing needs. The first event served 125 people; 223 attended last year. “This is an outstanding community collaboration,” Lincoln County Commis-

Homeless Connect • 9 a.m. – 3 p.m. • Oct. 4 • Church of Nazarene 227 N.W. 12th St. Newport sioner Bill Hall said. “We have state, regional, county and city agencies; faithbased programs; and private non-profits, all coming together to offer help to individuals and families in crisis. It’s supported by the generosity of many local individuals and businesses, as well as hundreds of hours of volunteer time.”

The event provides a hot meal, non-perishable food items, tarps, personal care items, socks and underwear, haircuts, legal services, Oregon Health Plan and food stamp enrollment, assistance in obtaining legal identification, immunizations, urgent dental care, pet care and more. Lincoln County Transit bus service is free throughout the county the entire day. “The need for these services continues to be great,” Hall said. “The Lincoln County School District reported a record number of students meeting the federal definition of homelessness last year — about 10 percent of those enrolled lacked a fixed, regular, adequate nighttime residence.” Although the commu-

nity response has been outstanding, Hall said, there’s still a need for resources. Sign-up forms for volunteers are available at www. homelessinlincolncounty. com. Cash donations will be used to provide additional tangible goods for guests or legal identification papers; those may be sent to Samaritan House, 715 S.W. Bay St., Newport, with “Homeless Connect” in the memo line. Several area churches and Payne West Insurance, 811 N. Coast Highway, Newport, are accepting clothing, personal care items and nonperishable food through the morning of Thursday, Oct. 3. For more information, call Hall, 541-265-4100 or Lola Jones at 541-574-8898.

Warming shelter seeks volunteers Volunteers are needed at the warming shelter at the Congregational Church, which is in search of “youth power” to keep its doors open to assist Lincoln City’s ongoing effort to attend to the homeless. The anticipated opening of a day-use facility by Family Promise of Lincoln County next month will ease the burden on the needy, but a wintertime, nighttime facility is essential to the overnight needs of the community, said Ken McCormack, director of the Lincoln City Warming Shelter at 1760 N.W. 25th St. “The shelter is likely not to open unless we get more

help from the community, more youth power,” he said. McCormack said the Outreach Board would meet at 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 11, at the church to discuss prospects for remaining open this year. He said he has already had three queries from homeless people about shelter. “One man was in such dire straits, we put him up at a motel for a night and got him some better clothes and food, but with the Siletz House gone, I had little hope to offer him for the future,” he said. McCormack said a young couple that lives in a tent has been homeless for months and is worried about what it is going to do once winter arrives. Another man showed

help,” he said. “We have a good facility and are willing to let it be used for a shelter, but we need help. Ideally, the shelter should be a community effort. We had a lot sign up last year, but very few, almost all our own church members, actually showed up. Most of us are in our 60s, 70s and 80s.” The warming center, designed to serve as many people as possible, opens when temperatures dropped below freezing and on days when winds are severe.

We are stressed out almost to the max when it comes to volunteer help, especially for staying overnight at the shelter.” McCormack said he and the rest of the board members are getting older and have health problems and can’t be counted on for nearly as much this year. Night driving and health concerns limit some potential participants, he said. “Someone might be willing to step forward and hold some meetings for the entire community and get more

On a given in day in Lincoln County, there are more than 600 homeless children, plus hundreds of adults, needing simple services like food and shelter. Lincoln County is working to help these people in need through Homeless Connect. The seventh annual Project Homeless Connect takes place Friday, Oct. 4, in Newport. This event is often described as a service fair for people in crisis, but it’s something more: it represents a statement that the community cares about its neighbors in need. The first event of this type was held in San Francisco in 2004, and it’s been replicated in hundreds of communities since then. Someone once described Homeless Connect as “the community living room,” an image I love. What would you do if you had a neighbor in need? You’d invite them into your home; offer them a cup of coffee, and say, “How can I help?” That’s the spirit we bring to this event. Project Homeless Connect takes place at the Newport Church of the Nazarene, 227 N.W. 12th St., in Newport, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Lincoln County Transit system is free the entire day. There are haircuts, dental care, immunizations, help with obtaining legal I.D., a hot meal, non-perishable food, tarps, clothing, pet

care, as well as access to dozens of state, county, faith-based and non-profit service providers. All of these services have a real and positive benefit for the guests we serve. People living without shelter almost inevitably have compromised immune systems. If even one of the shots given over these past seven years has saved a life, hasn’t it all been worth it? At last year’s event, I met a man who said he had attended the prior year. The welcoming response he received had inspired him, in his words, to “clean up his act.” He had connected with a church congregation in Waldport, where he was living, and he said they were helping him stay on a positive path. Never underestimate the power of hope. Homeless Connect is often a life-changing event for volunteers as well. Sandra Hodge wrote a wonderful letter to the editor on that topic last year. She wrote movingly about sharing a meal with a guest at the event, and listening to her story. “Like all human beings, the homeless need love and caring. Listening is a simple gift, so is food.” So how can you be part of transforming lives? You can volunteer. We need help on the day of the event and for set-up the day before.

Waiver is essential for local hospital Guest Column by G. Mick McLean

Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital is one of 15 Oregon hospitals and 849 rural hospitals which do not meet the original 35-mile “Distance to Next Hospital” requirement to be designated a Critical Access Hospital (CAH). This Federal designation means enhanced payments for services provided to Medicare patients. Medicare pays CAH hospitals 101 percent of “reasonable costs” while other acute care hospitals receive 80-85 percent of costs. Many states, including Oregon, also recognize and support CAHs with enhanced Medicaid payments. These enhanced payments are a “lifeboat” for many struggling rural

hospitals, where around 50 percent of patients are on Medicare and 15-20 percent with Medicaid. Congress created the CAH designation in 1997 after two decades of rural hospitals struggles and closures. Across the nation, 15 percent of all rural hospital closed; eight in Oregon. Recognizing distance and travel time to the next hospital could cause serious access to health care burdens for Medicare patients. Congress agreed to enhanced funding for those hospitals “critical to access to local services and treating and transfer to a higher level medical center. The distance line was drawn at 35 miles distance to next hospital. This was changed to recognize certain hospitals in mountainous

terrain or only connected by secondary roads. When first approved, 600 to 800 hospitals were expected to qualify for CAH designation. However, politics dictated a “loophole” allowing states to waive the distance requirement for any hospital Governors chose to favor with these enhanced dollars. (They were designated as “necessary providers” and entitled to CAH payments.) Whether these were politically expedient or medically necessary windfalls, these waivers overloaded the CAH lifeboat. Today, there are more than 1,300 CAHs, many within 10 miles of the next hospital. Is it any wonder that the Office of Inspector General recently called for a reassessment of all CAHs and pointed to

the mileage requirement in our current budget-cutting environment? (Already, one of President Obama’s budget proposals calls for excluding CAHs within 10 miles of another hospital and estimates savings of $10 billion over 10 years; the OIG estimated, excluding all who did not meet the 35-mile requirement would have saved $449 million in 2011.) While Lincoln City’s mileage waiver was granted on the “mountainous terrain” and “secondary roads” recognition of our critical location, the population we serve, and our serving as an access point for appropriate local services and transfer if necessary. Oldtimers tell me there have been times when the road north was flooded, the corridor

blocked with fallen trees, and the road south covered with mudslides. Some experts claim a good helicopter pad is all these rural hospitals need. Our closed-in weather days checkmate that argument. While I’m confident Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital will meet logical and reasonable requirements intended with for designated CAHs, when politics mixes with medicine, logic and reason cannot be assumed. We must be alert and follow this closely. We cannot take our Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital for granted. G. Mick McLean serves as chairman of the North Lincoln Health-Hospital District.

Impacts of ObamaCare on people under 65 Guest Column by Paco Maribona, CSA

The Affordable Care Act (aka ACA or ObamaCare) focuses primarily on people under age 65. While not perfect, it’s the law, improving access to health insurance, striving to reduce health care costs. It has survived barrages of misinformation from those who’d benefit from its demise politically and financially. Implemented slowly since 2010, it’s about to go into full gear in 2014. • Shopping on the Exchange. Residents may shop online or in person, see what’s available, based on age, income and location. There are more than 218 options you can get advice on from volunteers or certified insurance agents at no cost. Low income folks qualify for expanded Medicaid or reopened OHP plans, through ObamaCare. Affordable dental, vision plans are available. • Lottery Winners? Not exactly, but if you qualify for coverage you could neither

afford nor get due to preexisting conditions, or no longer risk foreclosure or bankruptcy, you may well feel like a winner. Sharing community benefits like roads and schools makes us stronger, costs less, is our common right. • Grandfathered Plans. If you have Medicare, Medicaid, VA, or a large employer group plan, you don’t have to shop the exchange because your plans meet ACA’s exemptions. Folks may keep individual or group health insurance in force since March 23, 2010 meeting ACA’s requirements, or they may shop the exchange marketplace.

dies are available to people with incomes up to 400 percent of Federal Poverty Level (FPL) or about $46,000 for individuals, or $94,000 for families of four; people with incomes to 138 percent of FPL, a little less than $16,000 per person, can get ObamaCare premium subsidies or directly qualify for OHP, (Oregon Health Plan) or CHIP (Children’s Health Insurance Plan). Participants may get tax credits advanced monthly to pay insurance premiums through the exchange. • Important Dates. Open Enrollment (OE) for the Insurance Exchange runs from Oct. 1 to Dec. 15, 2013; plans start Jan. 1, 2014. Extended OE runs from Dec. 15, 2013 to March 31, 2014; coverage starts the following month.

All plans must cover “essential health benefits” (eg, doctor/hospital services, labs,

Rx, emergency room, mental health, maternity, wellness). If your insurance meets ObamaCare’s “Essential Benefits” and requirements (OHP, CHIP, Medicare, VA/ TriCare, many grandfathered plans) they’re exempted from penalties, as are low income folks, and Indian tribes. Those who can afford plans but don’t get them are subject to penalties/fees from 1 percent of income or $95/ person (half/child) in 2014, rising to 2.5 percent of income or $695/person in 2016, whichever is higher, indexed thereafter. Additionally, they must still cover 100 percent of their healthcare costs. * Existing Benefits. ObamaCare already covers children 19 and younger; youth may stay on their parent’s plans until age 26. Preventive care like checkups, cancer, diabetes, colon, prostate, other screenings, mammograms, and contraceptions are free. Insurers may not deny coverage due to health conditions,

pregnancy or disabilities, nor cancel plans retroactively. • Plan Options. The richer the benefits (Coinsurance/ Office Copays/Deductibles/ Out of Pocket limits), the higher the premium. There’s Standard Bronze 60 percent /$60/ $5,000/ $6,350; Silver 70 percent/ $35/ $2,500/ $6,350; Gold 80 percent /$20/ $1,300/ $6,350; Platinum 90 percent /$10/ $100/ $1,000, plus several other options of benefits/premium per group. Also available are catastrophic plans for those under age 30; individual and small group plans(2-49), Large group plans (50+) with various options, deductibles, and co-pays. Plans allow you to keep your doctors if they’re in their network. Shopping the exchange shows your plan options, eligibility for subsidies. Paco Maribona is a Certified Senior Advisor.

Confronting prescription drug abuse The abuse of prescription drugs is on the rise in Oregon. It is also a problem nationally. Why is this occurring and how could it happen are only a few of the many questions being asked. What is an opiate? One definition is: “An opiate is any of the narcotic alkaloids found in opium. They are named because they are constituents or derivatives of constituents found in opium, which is processed from the latex sap of the opium poppy.” The availability of prescription drugs is obtainable from anyone who is licensed by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to prescribe controlled drugs.

person need only visit a clinic and convincingly complain of pain or depression and receive a prescription of oxycodone, hydrocodone, methadone, codeine, fentanyl, meperidine, darvocet, morphine or other opiate. But there is even an easier way to obtain these powerful and addictive drugs than going to a clinic. A person merely needs to look in a family member’s or friend’s medicine cabinet or purse.

There are also those who shop for doctors to obtain drugs, and, until recently, professionals licensed to prescribe drugs in Oregon were without a tool to prevent doctor shopping. Today, physicians, dentists, and others licensed to prescribe controlled drugs have a tool that enables them to track a person’s history of obtaining prescription drugs. Oregon is one of 41 providing this service to their medical professionals and seven more states are in the process of implementing the service. But this tool is only as effective as the users allow it to be. If physicians, dentists and others do not participate in the Prescription

Boats rev up for record speed assaults

By Jim Fossum sports@thenewsguard.com

Straightaway speed records will be the goal this weekend when inboard and outboard speed boats return to Lincoln City for the Rockey Stone Memorial Kilo’s. “We have had the course resurveyed and have set up a new quarter-mile timed straightaway course along with the kilo course we have always had,” race official Laureen Thorsen said. “With the new course layout, we expect there will be a few more boats attempting to set the new quarter-mile speed

begin at 8 a.m. and end at sunset (approximately 6:30

p.m.) on Saturday, Oct. 5, and Sunday, Oct. 6. The East Devils Lake State Park boat ramp will be used as the staging area for set-up and launch. The annual Devil’s Lake Kilo is sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association, and is officiated and conducted by Northwestarea powerboat racing clubs, led by the Columbia Outboard Racing Association based in the Portland area. The event is a test of entrants driving skill plus the integrity of the combined set-up of the boat, motor and propeller. Calm water conditions are a necessity, as

each driver will be running quality equipment with sensitive set-ups to maximize optimum speed. Time Trial rules call for a driver, competing against a time clock, to pilot his boat through a 5/8th of a mile surveyed straightaway course. Each entry will receive six runs, three in each direction. The test shall consist of two consecutive runs, one of which shall be made in one direction and one in the opposite direction. The overall speed is calculated by averaging the best two consecutive runs out of the six runs that each entrant is entitled to run. The

driver may take all his runs at one time or may decide to wait for better conditions for his or her remaining runs. The annual Speed Boat Time Trials were renamed the “Rockey Stone Memorial Kilo’s” in 1995 in honor of the person instrumental in setting up and organizing the event for many years. The event has been held since its inception in the mid 1950s, minus a few years during which Devils Lake underwent a massive weed cleanup similar to the one it is attempting to avoid with a health advisory now in effect at the lake over toxic algae growth.

Homeowners warned about weather related scam The Construction Contractors Board (CCB) wants to prepare Oregon homeowners who experience damage from fall and winter storms to be cautious of thieves pretending to be legitimate contractors. Homeowners whose homes and other property are damaged in storms are prime

targets. “Don’t get taken in by scam artists going door to door,” said Craig P. Smith, CCB administrator. “The stress caused by storm damage can cause homeowners to fall prey to dishonest individuals seeking to take advantage of an already bad

situation.” Homeowners can easily check with the CCB to make sure the contractor is properly licensed through the agency website www.oregon. gov/CCB, or 503-378-4621. It is important to verify a contractor’s CCB license before paying any money

or signing a home repair contract. A CCB license offers some financial protection to consumers through the business’ bond and insurance. Smith urges property owners to never pay the full amount up front and don’t pay in cash. Make sure to write your check out to the

business name that you have contracted with to do your repair. “If Oregon experiences areas of heavy damage during the storms, CCB Field Investigators will be dispatched to watch for unscrupulous individuals,” said Smith. The CCB is the state

agency licensing more than 36,000 contractors. Anyone who is paid to repair, improve or build a home must be licensed by the CCB. Free consumer publications with helpful tips are available at the CCB’s website and 503-378-4621.

Free Ride Home program available in Lincoln County If you commute to work by bike, bus, carpool/vanpool, or walking, you may be concerned with how to get home quickly in case of an emergency. The Cascades West Rideshare Emergency Ride Home (ERH) program is open to anyone

who works in Lincoln, Linn, and Benton Counties. Emergency Ride Home is a free service providing a reimbursement of up to $50 for a trip home by taxi if the ERH participant or a family member experiences an illness or emergency, includ-

ing a home emergency. ERH can be used up to two times per person per year. Qualifying trips include to your home; to a transit stop; to a medical facility; to the location where your vehicle is parked (for example, a park-and-ride lot);

or for qualifying side-trips such as picking up an ill child at school. The program supports the use of transportation options, which organizers said help people save money, get active, and foster sustainability and

community connectivity. For full details and

instructions, visit www. cwride.org/emergencyridehome.

JEREMY C. RUARK/THE NEWS GUARD

The D River Wayside was closed over the weekend due to high winds and heavy surf. “Lincoln City and Tillamook had peak gusts of 72 miles per hour,” said Cullen. “Newport 66, and Astoria 59 miles an hour.” Cullen said with the evolution of social media, the weather service gets flooded with public interaction during such adverse weather. “We had many phone calls, texts and emails through the weekend,” said Cullen. “People wanted to know about the winds and if their city or town would be impacted. Many people are now using Facebook and Twitter and sending us photos and letting us know how the storms are effecting them.” Cullen said such social interaction helps the weather service better track storms moving across the state. “It is a good thing,” he said. Cullen and Kathie Dello, OSU Oregon Climate Center deputy director, said they don’t issue long-term forecasts to predict what fall and winter weather will be like, but Dello did say Oregon is

currently not under the influence of El Nino or La Nina weather patterns. “We could see higher than normal temperatures, but much of it depends on ocean conditions,” said Dello. “That means anything goes. It could be wet or dry. I will be just as surprised as you with the way winter shapes up.” The Oregon Legislature

She said as an incentive to attending the event, NW Natural Gas and American Red Cross provided emergency preparedness starter kits for the first 100 people and free hot dogs for everyone. Lincoln County also wrapped up the 30-day National Preparedness Month campaign designed to encourage residents to take personal responsibility for their preparedness in September. The campaign focused on educating residents to be informed, to make a plan, to build a survival kit and to get involved in emergency preparedness. “If we are prepare for some of these everyday events, like storms, power outages and house fires, that preparation will lead to overall preparedness for a larger scale event like the Cascadia subduction zone earthquake,” said Demaris. She encourages Lincoln County residents to head to the Internet and visit Ready. gov, a universal emergency disaster preparedness site. The National Weather Service in Portland said records were set around the state for heavy rainfall amounts during the severe weekend storm. From Friday, Sept. 27, through Monday, Sept. 30, Astoria received 6.99 inches, Newport 3.36 inches and Tillamook 6.84 inches, according to the National Weather Service. Lincoln City recorded 5.4 inches of rain according to Sheridan Jones, Roads End Weather Watcher. Portland National Weather Service Meteorologist Matthew Cullen said very strong wind gusts were also recorded along the Oregon Coast.

in 2007 established the Center as a research consortium to connect faculty at Oregon State University, the University of Oregon and Portland State University. Its main function is to study climate changes. “We have seen the Northwest warn and the snowpack decline,” said Dello. “Which is consistent with global warming.”

Basketball has rebounding, baseball pitching, soccer dribbling and volleyball spiking. Unique to football is tackling, and when you don’t, the result is usually unsatisfactory, which is a kind way of putting Taft High’s defensive effort Friday, Sept. 27, in a 44-6 Oregon West Conference opening home loss to Stayton at Voris Field. “We just didn’t tackle,” said new Taft coach James Mick, who was coaching his first conference game. “We have got to tackle better, that’s the reality.” Stayton’s Ryan Blythe and Charlie Weeks scored on several long runs and amassed more than 100 yards each against the Tigers, who found themselves chasing them from behind

young, too. It’s not a natural thing to put your facemask in front of somebody and wrap ‘em up and slam ‘em into the ground. But we’re learning.” Better be fast. Taft, 2-3 overall, meets undefeated and No. 1-ranked Philomath (5-0) on the road at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4 (KBCH-AM 1400), in the Warriors’ homecoming game. That fact is not lost on

linebacker Killian Kuhn, an exception to Taft’s tackling fiasco Friday, or at least to a lesser degree, Mick said. “It wasn’t that they were better. We’re capable of beating these kind of teams.” Kuhn, one of Taft’s six seniors, said. “But we have a young team and we’re going to learn and we’re going to get better. It was just that our assignments were kind of off, but we’re progressing pretty good for a team that has several freshmen out there.” Mick credited Kuhn’s play following a difficult week of practice coming off a 46-40 nonleague home win over Tillamook. He acknowledged there might have been a letdown following the comefrom-behind victory, which saw the Tigers rally from a 34-19 second-half deficit. “When you have a little success, there’s something to be learned from it, and I guess we’re learning those lessons,” Mick said. “After a great win and a tough week

Taft (2-3-1, 0-2) lost at Philomath (4-0-2, 1-0-1) despite the play of Mason Aguirre and Williams after the Warriors took command early. “We came out really slow and unaggressive and Philomath scored quickly on us, which made it very hard to get back into the game,” James said, “If we play to our full potential, I really believe we can beat them at home (Oct. 17). If we focus on scoring, I think we will have some pretty good games.” Meanwhile, the junior varsity team, which is being used this season to help cultivate a girls varsity program for next season, lost 8-0 to Stayton and 6-0 to Philomath. “We are really hurting at the goalie position,” said James, whose team was without Jon Bick-

The Taft High varsity soccer team lost two Oregon West Conference games by 5-1 scores last week, falling to Stayton at home on Tuesday, Sept. 24, and at Philomath on Thursday, Sept. 26. Senior Ian Williams scored Taft’s only goal Tuesday against the Eagles in the league opener for both teams. “We played decent defense for the Stayton game, but the other team moved the ball around more than us and was way more aggressive,” Taft coach Justin James said. James said he was impressed with the defensive play of Jeremiah Zalamea and Angel Cortez in goal with 14 saves against the Eagles (4-2-0 overall, 2-0-0 Oregon West).

erdyke, who missed the Stayton game because of illness and was injured early in the Philomath game. “It really made it difficult to stop shots to the goal. Once they scored on us, it seemed very hard for us to gain our momentum and confidence back. The team is starting to come together, though, and play well as

a team. As long as we can keep our goalie healthy, I feel we will have a decent chance of competing.” Taft was scheduled to play Central (5-0-1, 1-0-1) in a league game Tuesday, Oct. 1, at home (past deadline) and hosts Newport (3-2-0, 1-1-0) at 4 p.m. (JV) and 6 p.m. (varsity) on Thursday, Oct. 3.

of practice, you put those things together and learn to compete. The boys played hard for the most part.” Blythe scored on two short runs and another of 63 yards, and Weeks ran 53 yards for a score to give Stayton (1-4) a 26-0 lead before Taft quarterback Seth Steere threw a 27-yard touchdown to junior Pete Lahti, who he had replaced at quarterback moments earlier, to make it 26-6 with 36 seconds left before halftime. Blythe, a 5-foot, 8-inch,

165-pound senior, then scored on an 80-yard run to make it 32-6 with 9:04 to play in the third quarter. Weeks, a 6-foot, 180-pound sophomore, then ran 75 yards for a score for a 38-6 lead with 7:35 to play in the period. The Eagles’ final score came on a 15-yard TD reception by junior Austin Rayas. “The defense is learning to compete and we’ll get better again, tackling again,” Mick said. “We’ve got to get physical. We’ve got to drive through them. Tackling’s just a different animal, and when you’re young, unfortunately, it doesn’t come naturally.” However it comes, it better improve against the Warriors, Mick said. “It’s a good chance to play against a team we know is going to be pretty good,” he said. “Who knows? Maybe we’ll play better against them. It’ll be good to see how we respond.”

Taft cross country meet canceled Taft High’s cross country meet Saturday at the Woahink Lake Invitational hosted by Siuslaw High School was canceled due to inclement weather in the Florence area. The meet, which was to have taken place at Honeyman State Park near Florence, was the first one 75-year-old Taft coach Cal Alsleben said he could remember being called off due to

weather. “I don’t remember ever having had a race canceled because of weather,” said Alsleben, who has run in extreme heat, heavy rain, wind, through water, mud, snow and over ice. “Safety first is a wonderful way to go.” Taft is scheduled to compete Saturday, Oct. 5, in the Paul Mariman Invitational in Philomath.

Ace Hardware earns soccer win William Brooks scored two goals and Edson Fuentes and Mauricio Rivas one each Saturday, Sept. 28, to lead Mills Ace Hardware (1-4-0) to a 4-1 victory over Mazatlan Restaurant (1-4-0) in Lincoln City Youth Soccer League action.

Meanwhile, Kulla, Ronnau, Schaub, & Chambers (2-2-2) defeated Seahorse Oceanfront Lodging 2-1 in a Division II game (8-10 years old) behind two goals from Mario Cortes.

Tigers drop pair of home matches By Jim Fossum sports@thenewsguard.com

The Taft High volleyball team used improved serving to win a game in each of its matches despite two Oregon West Conference home defeats last week. The Tigers fell 25-17, 2125, 25-12, 25-17 to Central on Tuesday, Sept. 24, and 25-9, 22-25, 25-23, 25-13 to Newport on Thursday, Sept. 26, despite converting a higher percentage of their serves. “The team served 58for-70 [against Central], which is a big improvement compared to other matches,” Taft coach Frank Napoleon said. “Central had some big hitters who were hitting very well when their passing was there.” Sophomore Kelsey Wilkinson was 18-for-18 serving with an ace against the Panthers (3-6 overall, 2-2 Oregon West), while senior Kietra Mason was 7-for-7 with an ace. Wilkinson led Taft with 14 assists, junior Katie McCardell had eight blocks, including six stuffs, and senior Taylor Adams had 10 digs. Junior BillyAnn Stempel led the Tigers with 10 kills. “Billy was hitting the ball very well,” Napoleon said. “She had a very good game at the net, and Katie’s return was very helpful at the net with her kills and blocks.” McCardell paced the team with 12 blocks, including eight stuff blocks, 12 digs and 11 kills in Thursday’s loss to the Cubs (6-6, 1-3). Stempel and Wilkinson had a team-high nine assists, while Taylor and Mason were 12 of 13 serving and Kendra Knudson 10 of 11. “The team came out flat and could not pass the ball in the first game,” Napoleon said. “The second game went well with our defense picking up Newport’s hits.” The Tigers (0-9, 0-4) fell behind 16-4 in the third game but rallied to tie the Cubs at 23 with solid serving. The Tigers missed serve at that point, however, and Newport scored the next point for the win. “Katie had another good game at the net,” Napoleon said, “Billy and Kelsey did a good job of setting the ball where it needed to be most of the night.” Taft was at No. 1-ranked Cascade (13-0, 4-0) for another league match on Tuesday, Oct. 1 (past deadline), and plays at Stayton (9-9, 2-2) on Thursday, Oct. 3.

This female Olive Ridley sea turtle washed ashore in front of the Sea Gypsy condominiums in Lincoln City on Monday, Sept. 30, and is recovering from cold shock at the Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport after being transported there by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The turtle survived the night with her core body temperature slowly climbing two degrees to 61. Aquarium officials said they planned to reintroduce her to water Tuesday, Oct. 1, which should provide staff with additional diagnostic opportunities. Her long-term prognosis is uncertain. Anyone who finds a sea turtle on the beach should contact the Oregon State Police Wildlife Hotline at 1-800-452-7888 to ensure appropriate transport and care of the animal.

Poetry, nature merge at festival The sky is gray today — heaven’s granite. Douglas Squirrel hustles across the porch. Winter’s coming in. Time’s running out. He sees me; he’s outraged. What am I doing on his porch? He climbs into the clematis and begins fussing like a dog barking, only higher pitched and with a deep passion. It’s squirrel poetry. “The best minds of my generation degenerate into madness,” he screams. He stops abruptly. And Lewis Creek sings softy. Poetry is everywhere. Next week it will be at the Seascape Festival in Lincoln City — and in the natural ebb of ocean, the Sea of Faith, once so full. I never thought much about it — until I was 17. I had an appointment to the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. My dad sent me to prep school on Chesapeake Bay to prepare for exams. The school forced me to read poetry. I was a lonely new kid. And so I began solitary walks through the Maryland woods, thinking about my girlfriend back home, reading poetry into my future. As children, we feel and play, but as adults we work and learn. Reading poetry, I faced the most important decision of my life. “Come forth into the light of things/ Let nature be your teacher,” advised Wordsworth. Should I follow the path laid out for me, the well-trodden one, the one Oliver North would take that same year? And end up selling guns to the Contras? Or take the road less traveled. The poets to idolize nature were the Romantics. They believed, “One breath from a vernal wood Can teach you more of man Of moral evil and of good Than all the sages can.” Poetic experience can never be reproduced. And mainly because of science, peculiar, singular truth has become almost irrelevant. It is in the air we breathe — peace, beauty, and divine mystery. Yet no one sets much stock by it. Except, perhaps, you and me. So I gave up my Naval career. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.” I have a sign where Douglas Squirrel works: “Paradise Found.” I picked it up when I was feeling particularly good. It is beginning to fade slightly. Joy begins to fade slightly, like a rose. But “The smallest sprouts show there is really no death… All goes onward and outward, nothing collapses, And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.” So I live unknown and isolated from commerce. The morning fog creeps over white-barked alder. The tops of western hemlock dance in the breeze like ballerinas. Elk graze the meadow below. Eagles and hawks swoosh above. Mr. Blue Heron balances on one leg at the fishpond — the majestic thief! And I thank whatever gods there be: I never killed anyone. “Your enjoyment of the world is never right till every morning you awake in Heaven; see yourself in your father’s palace, and look upon the skies, the earth and air as celestial joys,” remarked Thomas Traherne. So it is. Towards evening, fog fades into scattered stars blinking above hulking shadows. “What life can compare to this? Sitting quietly by the window, I watch the leaves fall and flowers bloom, as the seasons come and go.” (Seccho) Seascape will be held at the Congregational Church, 1760 N.W. 25th Street, in Lincoln City, Saturday, Oct. 12.

Local 4-H youth to recognize alumni, success More than 7 million young people across the country will celebrate National 4-H Week the first full week in October, with Lincoln County kicking off the event on Saturday, Oct. 5, at its 4-H alumni and member pancake breakfast at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds Main Exhibit Hall in Newport. Former 4-H members and volunteers from any 4-H program are being asked to contact the OSU Extension Office to receive their personal invitation. According to local 4-H organizers, National 4-H Week, Oct. 6-12, celebrates the many great opportunities that the 4-H youth development program offers to young people and highlights the incredible 4-H youth who work each day to make a positive

impact on their community. The alumni and member pancake breakfast will offer an opportunity to reflect on and honor the accomplishments of current and past members while setting the stage for success in the coming year. Research has proven that participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent findings from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that, when compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are • Nearly 4 times more likely to

contribute to their communities, • Two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors, and • Two times more likely to engage in science, engineering and technology programs in the outof-school time. In Lincoln County nearly 200 youth participated in 4-H activities last year with the dedication of countless volunteers making it possible to offer a wide variety of programs. This includes traditional 4-H clubs focusing on subjects such as horses, dogs, large and small animals, and what are considered

static projects like expressive arts, family and consumer science, science and technology, horticulture, natural science, communications and more. Youth explored 4-H through outdoor schools and camps, community gardens, community clubs and workshops and a variety of other 4-H opportunities. All past, present and potential 4-H members and volunteers are encouraged to help get the 4-H year off to a great start by participating in the alumni and member pancake breakfast on Oct. 5. To receive your personal invitation, please contact 4-H Program Coordinator Todd Williver at the Lincoln County Extension Office: todd.williver@oregonstate. edu or 541-574-6534.

Jazz party in Newport The Oregon Coast Jazz Party celebrates 10 years of jazz this year with a performance of world-class jazz Friday through Sunday, Oct. 4-6. The “jazz party” format means that visiting musicians will appear in different combinations at different times, known as “sets,” over the course of the jazz party. Performances are held at the Newport Performing Arts Center and the Shilo Inn Suites Hotel in Newport. Oregon Coast Council for the Arts (OCCA) is the organizational sponsor of the international event, and partners with local businesses and more than 60 volunteers in the production of the jazz party. “This year. I have combined familiar favorites and new faces, artists you know and love, and those who are making their Oregon Coast Jazz Party debut,” said Holly Hofmann, returning Jazz Party music director. “I’ve scheduled opportunities for you to hear our featured musicians in many different settings — solo, duo, trio, quartet, nightclub — as well as in exciting large group jam sessions.”

Hofmann’s 2013 lineup includes some of the hottest names in jazz as well as long-time Newport favorites. One of the hottest jazz trios in the world is new at this year’s party: the New York City-based Bill Charlap Trio, composed of pianist Bill Charlap, bassist Peter Washington, and drummer Kenny Washington. Renowned vocalist Jackie Ryan and legendary tenor sax-man Rickey Woodard join the party from the Los Angeles area, while drummer Sylvia Cuenca, bassist Essiet Okon Essiet, and returning drummer extraordinaire Lewis Nash hail from New York City. Longtime Newport favorites Houston Person (tenor sax), Terell Stafford (trumpet), Bruce Forman (guitar), Mike Wofford (piano), and Northwest veteran drummer Gary Hobbs return this year, while some regional jazz lights round out the roster: pianist Randy Porter, as well as his Randy Porter Trio players, bassist John Wiitala and drummer Jason Palmer. A fiery Afro-Cuban ensemble called Picante makes its

Deep sand causes concern at beach entrance

Police and area residents continue to warn motorists about the dangers of getting stuck in the sand at the bottom of the 15th Street beach entrance hill. On June 7, while on a water rescue call to the beach just off the 15th Street entrance, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1 water rescue crews had to maneuver their emergency vehicles past a vehicle stuck in the sand at the bottom of the hill.

water before the rescue team arrived. It appeared that the person was alright. Gretchen Wynne lives on 15th Street and is so concerned about vehicles becoming stuck in the sand; she placed a cardboard sign at the hill entrance that reads, “Caution Deep Sand.” JEREMY C.

Two small grass fires last week in the Lincoln City area are a reminder of an early fire season and the danger looming this summer along the Oregon Coast, according to fire officials. Both fires occurred June 5. The first fire charred about an acre of grass 500 feet from Highway 101 along Three Roads Road northeast of Lincoln City. The cause of the blaze is undetermined, as is the second blaze that

Even though Crestline Elementary School is hundreds of miles away in Vancouver, Wash., a Feb. 3 fire that

destroyed the school has promoted Taft Elementary School third-graders to lend a few helping hands. Taft student Kahliah Moroyoqua, 9, said the students took action when they learned about the Crestline School fire. “We felt bad that the school burnt down,” said Moroyoqua. “We wanted the kids at that school to feel better, so we got them books to read.” As a part of the Lincoln County

School District project SEAL (Students Engaged in Authentic Learning), Taft teachers selected a project that was of interest and brainstormed ideas for solutions to the problem. “As teachers, our task was to engage students in the project using innovative strategies,” Taft third-grade teacher Micky Willoughby said. “When Crestline

Mortician’s victims paid deeply for losses JIM FOSSUM The News Guard

In undoubtedly the most documented, publicized and controversial police case in Lincoln City history, corpses were abused and left unidentified when several unembalmed, decomposing bodies were eerily discovered in a local mortician’s chapel in the fall of 1984. But who were the real victims? Perhaps they were the friends and family of the bodies then-34-year-old Dale Patrick Omsberg was paid to cremate at Pacific View Memorial Chapel at 560 S.W. Fleet St., where The Eventuary now stands. Many cite severe financial woes as the reason behind Omsberg’s grisly crimes of nearly three decades ago, but the man who oversaw the case, retired Lincoln City

police chief Mike Holden, isn’t buying that. “Something,” he said, “was amiss with the man.” Omsberg’s death at age 63 last month from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Myrtle Beach, S.C., following an alleged sexual assault seems to confirm suspicions that the man who served just 23 days of a 30-day sentence with time off for good behavior struggled with demons no one can possibly explain. Ironically, a psychiatric evaluation of Omsberg, which then-District Attorney Ulys Stapleton said factored into his negotiations with Omsberg attorney Stephen Lovejoy, indicated the defendant “would probably commit suicide if sentenced to the penitentiary.” Omsberg’s defense argued their client’s “negligent management” in accepting nominal fees for those in need failed to generate enough

SPECIAL REPORT income to overcome his debt at the mortuary. In a written statement read by Lovejoy to reporters after his client’s sentencing, Omsberg said, “How does one apologize for such a terrible thing that has happened,

At the time, the only state regulations on crematories were Department of Environmental Quality standards for air pollution. The Legislature has since required that bodies be diligently tracked through paperwork and a stainlesssteel tag. Other states followed suit, but efforts of the locally led “Missing in America” campaign brought about a measure of closure for the victims of the gut-wrenching tragedy that left their loved ones’ whereabouts unknown. The repercussions led to a demand to alter what was perceived as an indifferent bureaucracy and reshaped the justice system as it pertains to the funeral industry. Omsberg pleaded guilty to 60 misdemeanor charges of theft, attempted theft and abuse of a corpse and was

except to say that I am truly sorry. I didn’t want it to happen and make no excuses. I hope and pray that you will forgive me.” Many did, including Diane Bassett, whose husband’s body was found Oct. 19, 1984, under a sheet on a table in the mortuary’s garage. “I pray for him and that he’ll be able to put his life back together again and that his wife and two little boys can do the same,” she said following the sentencing. “But it is almost as though you have to live the death again. I think some of us will never get over it.” Bassett was a leading member among a group of people who wouldn’t let the case die like their relatives had. She successfully helped lead a movement to get the Oregon Legislature to pass more stringent rules on crematoria in its 1985 session.
