Calls for police rise at Roads End
Stepping Out

ONLINE POLL
Since the Roads End annexation took effect July 1, Lincoln City has been providing police services to the area previously covered by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. City Manager David Hawker said he was surprised with the number of calls from Roads End for police services. “We are averaging about 40 calls each month in Roads End,” said Hawker. “There is no crime wave, but there have been break-ins in the past and that will continue with the number of vacate homes. I think the frequencies of having problems like that will go down with the police presence. We are patrolling and responding to incidents.” Lincoln City Police Chief Keith Kilian said his officers have responded to 111 calls for service July 1 through Oct. 31 at Roads End. “We have responded to traffic accidents, alarms, animal complaints, harassments, found property, thefts, medical assistants, trespassing issues, suspicious activity, and traffic stops,” said Kilian. “Most the calls were suspicious activity, suspicious persons, or vehicles. Things that didn’t look right in the neighborhood.” Kilian said the calls are typical for an area the size of Roads End, but he also acknowledges the change from

among the activities students experience at the small private school at 2490 N.E. Highway 101. In the tradition of schools attached to the Episcopalian faith, St. James Santiago strives to combine a strong academic and moral foundation amid a caring, open-learning atmosphere, according to its director, artist, writer and longtime teacher Julie Fiedler. “Starting a school here seemed like an ideal match,” said Fiedler, director at Neskowin Valley School for the past four years before conferring this summer with St. James Santiago Episcopal and deacon Kristina Burbank and priest Melinda Archer.
Depoe Bay woman charged in double fatal crash A 58-year old Depoe Bay woman has been arrested in connection with a double fatal traffic crash on Aug. 4 on Highway 101 just north of Lincoln City. Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers arrested Patty A. Weissenfluh at her residence Friday, Nov. 8. Investigators said Weissenfluh was driving her 2001 Cadillac Deville through a right curve on Highway 101 when it crossed the center line and collided head-on with a northbound 2012 Kia Soul driven by Donna Jeanne Ball, 71, from Salem.

Photos with Santa to benefit local groups JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
A local business operator and Santa Claus are teaming up to help raise funds for the Lincoln County Animal Shelter. Julia Durandeu, owner of Lucky Dog Grooming and Daycare at 660 S.E. Highway 101 #2, in Lincoln City, wanted to find a way to help support the shelter and decided to offer pet photos with Santa from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 23. “From what I understand, the Lincoln County Animal Shelter is not a part of the Humane Society and they must raise a large part of funding themselves,” said Durandeu. “We care about the animals of Lincoln County, and, being in the pet business ourselves, we feel a bit responsible to pitch in wherever we can, especially during the holiday season.” For a $10 donation, Crystal Clear Photography will produce the Santa Paws photos at the Lucky Dog Daycare and Boarding facility in the Lincoln City store location.
It’s not necessary to register, just show up on Nov. 23. If you are interested in donating, but don’t have a pet or can’t make it to the event, you can stop by the store anytime and make a donation, or donate directly to the Lincoln County Animal Shelter at 510 N.E. Harney Street in Newport. Call Durandeu for further information at 541- 9944353. In another benefit project, from 7 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 13, at the Lincoln County Fairgrounds in Newport, Santa will pose with pets for photos to benefit the K-9 Krusaders 4-H Dog Club. Cost is $12 for two pictures. Call 541-4449247 for details.

Board to review search recommendations JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
The Lincoln County School Board was expected to review recommendations from a consultant concerning the process for evaluating and hiring a new district superintendent during its meeting Tuesday, Nov. 12. The Board was scheduled to hear from consultant Greg McKenzie, of Window to Leadership LLC, who conducted a series of community meetings and an online survey to gather public comments about what qualifications should be necessary for the new superintendent. McKenzie’s outreach included meetings with students. McKenzie spoke with student leaders
at Taft High 7-12 about the search. “I talk to the students because they are at ground zero,” said McKenzie. “They are in the buildings. The kids had very appropriate answers for elements they’d like to see and for the characteristics they’d like to see in a good leader.” McKenzie’s report includes a summary of public concerns about class size, retaining specific programs, improving student achievements, and qualifications of the superintendent, including integrity, ability to build community partnerships and deal effectively with budget issues. McKenzie is also recommending a base salary range between $130,000 and $145,000 for the superintendent developed after comparing the salary of school superintendents in similar communities.
The Lincoln County School Board is expected to adopt qualifications and a salary range for the new superintendent search at tonight’s meeting. Candidates for the superintendent’s position can apply through January. A district screening committee will narrow the candidate list and the school board is expected to conduct candidate interviews in February and select finalists. A new superintendent could be hired by spring. The current superintendent, Tom Rinearson, will retire at the end of this school year after serving for the past decade.

county sheriff coverage to city police coverage is significant for residents of the area. “There is a distinction in service between the police department and sheriffs office at Roads End,” said Kilian. “Residents now know that they have a more immediate response time from law enforcement.” In January, the Roads End Water District and the Roads End Sanitary District filed an appeal against the annexation by the City of Lincoln City with the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA). On June 26, LUBA ruled against the appeal, affirming the process the City of Lincoln City used to annex 246 acres of land in the Roads End area. In July, opponents notified the City of court action to block the annexation. They had asked the Lincoln County Circuit Court for a stay in the annexation. Since then, negotiations have been ongoing between the City and the opponents to resolve the litigation. The Oregon Court of Appeals is expected to hear oral arguments the first week of December concerning the appeal to LUBA’s decision upholding the City’s annexation. The Lincoln Circuit Court issue has yet to set a date for hearing arguments. The injunction was denied. Hawker said a settlement agreement could be before the Lincoln City City Council at its Nov. 18 public meeting. “We all want this to be resolved in an amicable way,” said Hawker.

Schrader: Expect another federal shutdown JOE WRABEK jwrabek@countrymedia.net JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
was unsure about the Act at first glance. “But the bottom line, real world reality is that everyone needs to pay their fair share and everyone should have access to health care,” he said. “This act replaces a system that was horrible. If we all share the risk, we can take care of one another without burdening everyone.” He called the non-working Obamacare website “a horrible debacle” and urged those at the town halls to do their research about the federal health care plan and to be patient. JOE WRABEK/THE NEWS GUARD “Check with your insurCongressman Kurt Schrader talks with a Coast resident Nov. ance agent,” he said. “It’s unwise to try to do it online. 10 during a town hall meeting in Pacific City. Get good advice. There is also the problem of scamming going on, so be very careful about your personal information.” The Act takes effect Jan. 1. Schrader also addressed concerns about the federal budget. “It is a very clear that baby boomers retiring will put a major burden on the federal budget in the years to come,” said Schrader. “Social Security could be cut by 25 percent because we simply don’t have enough revenue coming in to pay for it.” Those at the Pacific City town hall expressed concerns about the federal flood insurance program. The program needed to get fixed, Schrader said – that was the reason for the Biggert-Waters Act passed last year – “but a key component was affordability,” he said. “It never got done.” Schrader is co-sponsor of a bill delaying flood insurance premium increases for up to four years, and requiring the Federal Emergency Management Agency to do an affordability study.
Oregon Congressman Kurt Schrader is forecasting another “mini” federal government shutdown in early 2014 because Congress will not be able to complete a budget deal by the end of the year. “We’re probably not going to get a budget deal in December,” Schrader told audiences on Sunday, Nov. 10, during town halls in Newport and Pacific City. The U.S. government was shut down and curtailed most routine operations from Oct. 1 through Oct. 16 after Congress failed to enact legislation appropriating funds for federal government operations. “I have to apologize to everybody,” Schrader said. “We have not done well by you in Congress this October. The biggest problem in D.C. is leadership failure. It is very frustrating.” Several of those attending the meetings questioned Schrader about the Patience Protection and Affordable Health Care Act, often referred to as “Obamacare.” “It is not going to go away despite what some people in Washington, D.C. would say or would like to happen,” said Schrader. “The main thing is to try and make sure it works.” Schrader said people are expressing their uncertainty to him about the Act. “They are concerned that their old policies are canceled and they fear the new policies under the Act will cost them more,” he said. But Schrader said most people along the Oregon Coast will qualify for subsidies to help pay for the health care. Schrader told the town hall audience in Newport he

This year, The News Guard has partnered with the North Lincoln Fire and Rescue District Volunteer Association and the Lincoln City Elks in the annual Kids Toy Drive. The News Guard is committed to promoting and assisting the firefighters and the Elks in reaching their targeted goal of ensuring every needy child receives a toy for Christmas. According to Jan Hall, Lincoln City Elks Lodge booker, the toy drive began several years ago as a result of the Elks annual holiday food drive. “The Christmas Basket Food Drive has been going on for at least 30 years,” said Hall. “The baskets started with Elks Grand Lodge and it spun off from that. North Lincoln Fire and Rescue District #1 joined us several years ago and their help has been simply awesome.” Weeks before Christmas, the Lincoln City Elks collect food and toys in the north end of Lincoln County, the Eagles do the south end from 19th Street to the Siletz and the Depoe Bay Fire Department and others do the drive for Depoe Bay. The Elks use wish lists filled up by local families and try to fulfill those lists with the toy drive. Once the toys are collected from more than 30 sites around the area they are taken to the Lincoln City Elks Lodge for a major wrapping the week before Christmas. Once wrapped, the toys and food boxes are delivered on Dec. 21. Last year, the Elks served 250 households. Hall said the need is even greater this year because there are many multiple families in this community. “This year we hope to serve about 900 people,” said Hall. “All the wrapped toys will be

I challenge all local businesses and able residents to donate a toy and help fill the Toy Drive buckets that are located throughout Lincoln City. We know from research that many Lincoln County families struggle with basic daily needs
and purchasing toys for their children is not possible. I encourage you to give as your heart directs. Lets fill The News Guard lobby with toys for the children.

One word, so many images

Frank Perea, The News Guard publisher, and Santa.
Thanksgiving. One word can bring up so many images, smells, sounds, and emotions. Friends lost, family gained, and we wonder how on earth a whole year has passed since last Thanksgiving. There is a part of me that grieves the past, having Thanksgiving at Grandpa and Grandma’s in Toledo, out in their country house with acres of woods to build forts, the creek flowing, horses grazing, and berries growing in the summer. That was a few years ago, but I am thankful Grandma is still living and making the most of each day in her retirement apartment in Newport. I am thankful for family all along the Coast and in the Valley. I am thankful for friends who encourage smart choices and educated risks. Friends who help us step out and try new things and experience
life to its fullest. To look back on this last year and think how much growth has happened in life in just 12 months. I am thankful for the pastors here in town. What a great group of men and women who encourage, support each other and help each other. I am thankful for all the care, prayer, and counsel they provide to so many throughout the community. It is a blessing to work with them and work on projects together. One project the Ministerial Association has put together is a Community Thanksgiving Service, at 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17, graciously hosted at the Foursquare Church. It is a service to sing praises to God and the pastors are going to pray prayers of thanksgiving for who God is and all God has done. It is powerful when the community comes together with thankful hearts.
We hope you can join us. Whatever your Thanksgiving plans, take a moment to think about all that has happened this past year. And be thankful. Rev. Kelli Westmark is the senior
pastor at the Lincoln City Church of the Nazarene and the vice president of the North Lincoln County Ministerial Association. She can be reached at 541.994.2981 or knwestmark@hotmail.com.

“We wanted to be in Lincoln City, we knew we as teachers worked well together, and we knew there was a real need for an alternative kind of education. We felt like there would be parents who would be gung-ho to have their kids in a school like this.” Zac’s mother, Tara, is one of those parents. She brought her child along with Fiedler from Neskowin Valley to further his education. “You really feel the nurturing that’s happening at this school, and there’s so much focus, attention and love being built, along with the curriculum,” she said. Not only is there more individual attention devoted to students by full-time teachers Kate Parker, who has more than 20 years experience in early childhood education, and John Fiedler, Julie’s husband and longtime elementary school teacher, English professor and newspaper reporter, but dedicated instruction from specialists in music and science. Volunteers and parents also pitch in. For the most part, however, the church and the school remain separate. “We really like having school in a church because it gives us freedom to talk about those sort of things [religion and faith], but we knew early on that we didn’t want to do that education here,” Fiedler said. “We’re not trained for that, but, at the same time, it’s really great when the kids ask questions that we can certainly discuss with them in a religious context.” In a comfortable multi-age classroom, Fiedler and her staff are striving to provide a comprehensive social and academic start for children in a full-day kindergarten program while evolving through the grade-school years in the areas of music, drama, art, science and social studies. The primary focus remains on developing core skills in reading, writing and math. Tuition is $4,500 per year or $450 per month with an application fee of $25. A limited amount of financial aid is available, Fiedler said. Using proven teaching models in reading, writing, spelling and math, students at St. James learn first hand. “They’re old-fashioned, traditional in their thoroughness,” Fiedler said. “They try to give kids a real comprehensive toolkit to work with.” Fielder said the school’s kindergartners are learning first-grade curriculum, while the first-graders are studying at a second-grade level. “They work together in groups and do geometry through games, through building models, through all kinds of hands-on activities,” she said. At the end of each day, which stretches from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., the kids gather for “open time” to truly ex-

plore their particular likes and favorite subject matters. “We really believe in giving kids as much choice as possible of what they learn. It makes a huge difference,” said Fiedler, who cites a recent study that showed third- and fourth-graders comprehend and retain information 30 times better when they have an interest in what they are studying. “By giving them their choice, it gives them immediate buy-in to what is going on.” It’s because of the undedicated learning period that one of the school’s older pupils who had struggled with reading is now reading to the class, Fielder said. The school follows a similar philosophy in its approach to science, which includes the tutelage of part-time teacher Katie Miesle; music, with parttime teachers Carol Wolfe and Eric Simpson; and art, where Julie Fiedler is a renown local craftsman. “We show them how to conduct their own experiments and how scientists tend to think,” Fiedler said. “They tend to think in a different way than children do. They tend to be very magical thinkers, and we celebrate that, but we also want them to see that there are variables in every experiment. There’s data to be managed, and they learn how to write those things down and control those variables and think about forming a hypothesis and a question and thinking things out instead of just jumping to conclusions.” Each day starts with a meeting largely conducted in Spanish in keeping with the church’s Hispanic heritage. It’s designed at documenting the day on calendars that will be used to relate to the children what activities they experienced throughout the school year. “When we come toward the end of the year, we’ll have 10 calendars so that the kids can go back and know what we did on what day, not just the ordinary things that happen every day, but the special events,” John Fiedler said. “We’re trying to give kids the big picture about their experience instead of it just being us that contains the memory or the written notes about it.” “One of the premises of this way of education,” Parker said, “is to empower them to be in charge of their education, be in charge of their history, so that they’re not just on the receiving end, they’re actually creating stuff. They can go back at the end of the year and not rely on us to remember. It’s just going to be them being agents in their own life instead of it being somebody else.” A newly appointed position among the students is that of walk planner. The first recruit for the job suggested a hunt for a dead raccoon. The kids found mushrooms. The staff brought in Lincoln City Planning Director Richard Townsend to share area maps
with the kids, which they now use in assisting with their ventures. “We plan the route visually, so they’re getting to know the streets, getting to know the typography, where the great vantage points are, the ocean views. They’re getting to know the neighborhood,” John said. “By getting on the ground and getting an impression of this larger neighborhood of Oceanlake, they learn all kinds of things that Kate and I didn’t even know and we’ve met all kinds of people. They’re learning the skills of introducing themselves to people they don’t know, and our response has been 100 percent favorable.” In particular, the teachers related a story of having some teens at the skate park put their cigarettes aside as the kids neared before — politely and graciously as self-anointed caretakers — asking to have their skate park back. On another occasion, an unplanned brush with a state highway employee surveying a street to make it ADA compliant proved to be an example of where stepping out of the classroom can benefit the children’s learning. “We’ve been using words like momentum and trajectory and rolling balls with different weights and sizes,” Parker said, “and here’s a guy with a stick and a wheel — a surveying device — making sure the accessibility to sidewalks was right. We talked about the differences of the edges and the slopes to the disabled, so that actuality is really informative and really applicable. Kids can take that education and make it beneficial.” Emphasis is placed on developing literacy with instruction in reading, writing and spelling. However, shortly after lunch, it’s out the door and on to the next big adventure, which lasts between 20 minutes and an hour or more. “People enjoy seeing education being done out in the open,” Julie Fiedler said. “So many people see education done behind closed doors, and to be able to see kids out and about gets a lot of positive comments from people. It’s our P.E., but it’s also about social behavior. It’s about taking care of each other. It’s about learning about nature. It’s about all those things and more.” While the school numbers just nine students in its first year, Fiedler says it welcomes greater participation and increased enrollment next fall, although sharing space with the church is a consideration. “We’re at a stage where we’re just trying to prove ourselves to the Lincoln City community,” she said.
Voices of Lincoln County Thank you Gleneden Beach In July, of all times, I asked the citizens of Gleneden Beach to contribute school supplies to the H.E.L.P. Project for homeless kids. As usual, they came through with flying colors. Because of their generous donations 190 kids, who wouldn’t have had the necessary supplies, were able to start the year fully stocked. Once again, Gleneden Beach made a difference in their lives. I know if the kids knew who was responsible, they would offer a big thank you. Since they don’t, I’ll do it for them. Thank you Gleneden Beach. Louise Cremeen, The Donation Station

The 911 System In 2010 I appeared before the City Council to discuss the duplicated 911 system in Lincoln City and Lincom. Lincom was taken over by Willamette Valley Communication (WVC), which reduced costs considerably. WVC already dispatches PacWest ambulance for over half of Lincoln County, including Lincoln City. WVC provides all services for 27 agencies including all of Polk and most of Marion and Lincoln counties, and also Newport fire and police departments. In 2010, City Manager Hawker said that a reason for not consolidating was that Lincoln City did not have a back up phone
system in case the main line from the valley failed. He also stated that he had put $6,500 in the 2010-11 budget for a study of 911 costs. In 2010-11, the 911 study was never done but in 2012 the second phone line was completed, due to the efforts of Lincoln County. This had been the only obstacle to the consolidation with WVC. The 2013-14 budget year still does not speak to consolidation. The budget for salaries and benefits is $731,440, for an average cost per employee of $86,051. After deducting the revenues received, there is a net cost of $94.23 per citizen. By comparison, the city of Keizer which is 4.5 times larger, pays less for 911 service than Lincoln City. Newport, which is 21 percent larger than Lincoln City, pays $38.65 per citizen. Again, a total waste of Lincoln City taxpayer money and poor management of resources. Jerry Warner Lincoln City

Plaque defendants receive court date
Steven Sam Gilmore and Kristin M. Wilkinson were scheduled Tuesday to appear at 9:15 a.m. Dec. 16 in Lincoln County Circuit Court for an early resolution conference to settle second-degree charges of theft and criminal mischief regarding a memorial plaque allegedly stolen and damaged from the Taft High School football field grandstands. The alleged theft of the plaque, which commemorated those responsible for constructing a synthetic turf surface at Voris Field, caused a division of community members over the internal handling of the case last spring by former Taft High 7-12 Principal Scott Reed, who has since taken on an administrative position within the school district.
District Superintendent Tom Rinearson has denied that the principal’s internal handling of the alleged theft resulted in his removal after five years as Taft principal. Reed was cleared of allegations of improprieties made by the group following an investigation by an attorney hired by the Lincoln County School District. He found that allegations of misuse of funds and failure to divulge negative information during the interview process were unsubstantiated or unwarranted. The concerned citizens group also urged prosecution of the alleged thief of the plaque, while Reed insisted on keeping to his word with the alleged perpetrator and handling the affair internally.

really wasn’t looking for it, but it’s the kind of a job that will allow me to do what I want to do.” Bovett’s associates credited him for his many accomplishments and wished him well in his new position. “Rob’s commitment to improve the quality of life for all citizens has been an inspiration to a countless number of people in this county, the state, the nation, and even internationally,” Lincoln County Sheriff Dennis Dotson said. “Rob will be missed.” Over the years, Bovett has been involved in many local and state issues through task forces, special committees, and projects, such as the Governor’s Meth Task Force, the Alcohol and Drug Policy Commission, the CoastNet fiber optic project, and the development of ocean wave energy. “Rob will be missed in Lincoln County, but this is very good news for all Oregon counties,” Lincoln County
Commissioner Bill Hall said. “Rob has been an outstanding advocate for the counties for more than 20 years, and this will allow him to continue and expand that work.” Mike McArthur, Association of Oregon Counties (AOC) executive director, said Bovett would bring a wealth of experience to his new job. Bovett emphasized the teamwork in place in his office for his achievements over the years. “I’m proud of the accomplishments of our team, modernizing and improving our public safety system with
programs that save lives and families, and help end cycles of addiction, domestic violence, and mental illness,” he said. In a letter dated Nov. 12, Bovett urged to Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber to appoint Chief Deputy Michelle Branam as his replacement. “Michelle has demonstrated the skills and talents necessary to do the job, and is commited to continuing our work to modernize and improve the justice system in Lincoln County,” Bovett wrote.

Response time 22 minutes for dispute emergency JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
A Siletz man was arrested and a woman was treated for injuries Nov. 6 following a report of a domestic dispute in the 100 block of Takelma Court in Siletz. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office confirmed it took officers nearly half an hour to respond to the emergency. Police officers were called to the location at about 5:55 p.m. following reports to 911 that a female was being assaulted. But officers did not arrive for 22 minutes due to the lack of law enforcement in the area, according to Dave Shanks, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, patrol sergeant. While the area is normally patrolled by the Toledo Police Department, the Toledo officer on duty was at the Lincoln County Jail in Newport on an unrelated matter. “A normal response time could be one minute or 30 minutes depending on many factors,” said Shanks. “Someone could be in town and close by, all officers in the cities and counties could be on other calls or the Siletz address could be many miles northwest of Siletz on Highway 229, for example.” Deputies from the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by the Oregon State Police, were sent to the scene of the reported dispute. After the officers arrived and investigated the report, they took Kevin Kelly Case, 45, into custody on one count of assault in the fourth degree. Because a minor child

was present, the charge was enhanced to a felony. Case was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail with a bail of $50,000. Shanks said options to improve response time to rural areas such as Siletz include dedicated funding for the Sheriff’s Office that would put more deputies on duty, on the road and available for such incidents.

Road flooding continues JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
High water continues to flow over portions of East Devils Lake Road east of Highway 101 at south Hill Road in Lincoln City during heavy rainstorms. The roadway wraps around Devils Lake. During fall and winter storms, high water from the nearby wetland and waterway stream across the road surface. A $110,000 temporary fix conducted in August that raised the roadbed about 6 inches with additional asphalt and cleared the adjacent road shoulders has helped reduce the high water, according to Steve Hodge, Lincoln County Public Works Department assistant director. “Except for a section around the bridge on the eastern side of the project, most of the road has remained above the water ... but not by much,” said Hodge. “With the winter storms coming, it is likely folks will encounter more flooding, but, hopefully, not as deep.” Drivers should expect periodic closures of East Devils Lake Road at south Hill Road if the flooding reaches dangerous levels, he said. “Should the road become impassable, the county will close the road by placing barricades

Motorists negotiate the high water along East Devils Lake Road on Nov. 8 following a series of rainstorms. across the lanes,” he said. “Advanced signage will be placed to warn drivers of the closure. We will monitor the flooding and will reopen the road as soon as possible.” With fish migration near, and more storms in the forecast, Hodge said it is unlikely the short-term road fix would aid the migration. “The road still remains an obstacle for the fish,” said Hodge. “Only by substantially raising the elevation of the roadway and increasing the length of the bridges will we remove East Devils Lake
Road as an obstacle to fish migration.” During the fish migration, volunteers have helped usher the fish through the water across the roadway. A similar volunteer operation is expected at the flooding site again this month and in December. The long-term fix calls for raising the roadway and the two bridges in the area by several feet. County and area watershed council officials are hoping grants will fund the $4.5 million long-term fix for the roadway. But the groups have struggled to
qualify for the grants. “So far, we haven’t had much luck,” said Hodge.

Hiatt trial set JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@coountrymedia.net
A trail date has been set for Scot Van Hiatt, the Neskowin man charged with criminal negligent homicide in the May 10 fatal pedestrian-auto crash involving a Seattle man. Hiatt, 52, was charged in the death of Richard Swanson, 42, who had been on a walk from Seattle to Brazil to attend the World Cup soccer tournament. Police said Swanson was walking southbound along Highway 101 in Cutler City when he was struck from behind by a pickup truck driven by Hiatt. “Mr. Swanson was walking southbound on the shoulder of Highway 101 with traffic,” Lincoln City Police Lt. Jerry Palmer told The News Guard following the crash. “We don’t know whether he was looking at the beach or the bay or what. But he was technically on the wrong side of the highway.” Palmer said there was no indication that Hiatt was impaired or intoxicated at the time of the crash. Following a police investigation into the accident, Hiatt was
arrested June 17 and arraigned June 18. During the arraignment, Hiatt appeared on camera from the Lincoln County Jail wearing medical nose gear attached to a portable oxygen machine. He told Lincoln County Court Judge Sheryl Bachart that he was undergoing hospice care and requested that he be released from jail. Lincoln County District Attorney Rob Bovett argued against the release. “I put on the record that Mr. Hiatt has prior convictions for perjury and giving false information and I asked the court to give us time to research his claim that he is in hospice care,” said Bovett. “I wanted to find out what’s true and what isn’t and what Mr. Hiatt’s medical condition is.” Despite Bovett’s argument, Bachart approved Hiatt’s release with conditions that Hiatt was to surrender his driver’s license and promise not to operate a motor vehicle. On Dec. 30, lawyers for the defense and prosecution are to meet in a trial ready conference. Hiatt’s Jan. 22 trial is expected to last four days.

Middle-schoolers reap rewards of competition JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard.com
While most high school fall sports teams throughout the Class 4A ranks have expanded their seasons to compete in play-in or state playoff games, Taft High’s football, volleyball and soccer teams have again found themselves watching postseason play from the sidelines as the struggles to stay on a com-
petitive level have continued through recent years. One factor expected to help alleviate that frustration as the smallest school population-wise in the Oregon West Conference is a move next season to the Class 3A West Valley League, where Taft will have the largest enrollment. A more thorough fix, however, coaches and players will tell you, has been the addition of middle-school sports to the

school’s athletic program this season. “Middle-school sports are a foundational piece to varsity sports,” Taft Athletic Director Tim Dressler said. “They are a focal piece to feeder programs. Feeder programs prepare athletes for varsitylevel play.” Dressler said Taft High School is in a unique situation to have grade levels from 7 to 12. “To have middle-school sports at Taft creates a highspirited atmosphere,” he said. “It literally brings the school closer together. Middle-school students take ownership and pride because they are representing Taft 7-12 through athletics. Kids are becoming more aware of sports and the interest level continues to grow. The earlier we are able to start working with kids, the more time we have to nurture and coach athletic talent. This is how programs grow.” Fellow administrators also recognize the benefits successful sports programs can have. “Having middle-school sports is another way to connect students to their school and community,” Taft Principal Majalise Tolan said. “Whenever you have the opportunity to support students being part of something positive that is bigger than themselves, you are on the right track.” Certainly, the coaches, many themselves former athletes or even Taft High stars, appreciate the positives an early start toward athletic prowess can have. “I think these programs are so important for student-

in academic achievement and student accountability.” Tolan said. “Increased participation and accountability will likely support success as we rebuild high school programs, however, a middle-school season is still only nine weeks and high school programs are built in the off-season.” “Middle school volleyball was a big success,” said seventh-grade coach Nate Fingerson, whose team won half its games while benefitting from advice on skills and specifics from the players and coaches. “We started from the very basic skills, which all of the 10 players lacked, and worked towards skills they will work on in eighth grade and high school.

school sports to build cohesion and program dominance as we move down to 3A.” Stuart concurred. “I think it is so important to continue this sports programs through the future,” she said. “It is so instrumental in feeding the program. When players have the chance to perform for their school in junior high, it will make them more likely to continue on to the higher levels. “I know if you asked any of the girls I had for volleyball this season they would tell you that they had a great time, they learned a lot, and they feel excited about playing for Taft in the future. I hope that our community can continue to support these programs and help us raise money to keep them going.”

athletes,” eighth-grade volleyball coach Sandy Stuart said. “It really gives them experience and preparation for what is to come in high school. The city was doing a good job organizing these same leagues, but the atmosphere is so much different when you put it into the school programs.” Another advantage is the addition of experienced officials, transportation and having a place to call home, Stuart said. “The referees were professional and taught the girls what to expect in the future,” she said. “We were able to compete with teams from our own league in a competitive atmosphere. The girls also were able to experience the resources that the high school teams have, like buses to away games and games inside their own gym on a weeknight. It was amazing seeing the parents and other students fill the stand to support the girls.” Stuart and assistant coach Kary Hanson had nine girls who competed in both an A and B volleyball league. The other schools generally had a larger turnout of athletes and set A and B squads. “This gave them a lot of playing time and experience,” Stuart said. “I feel very accomplished because I know these athletes learned a lot and are ready to play for the high school team. They basically got to experience being a JV team before getting into high school and I know that will do a lot for their confidence going in to next season when they are trying out for the high school team.” Tolan said the middleschool football and volleyball seasons were funded by the Taft Booster Club with equipment usage provided by the Lincoln City Youth Football League and the Lincoln City Parks & Recreation Department. “We will be evaluating attendance and academic data of our participating students to see if we saw gains

Lure of the ocean
JEREMY C. RUARK/THE NEWS GUARD
No matter the weather, watching the ocean in Lincoln County continues to be a draw for visitors from all over the nation.
Crashing waves, storms attract visitors to Coast JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Even though the busy summer tourist season has ended, more and more visitors are continuing to visit Lincoln City, Depoe Bay and other areas of Lincoln County this fall, typically known as the shoulder season, or the less busy time of year for most local businesses. Carole Barkhurst, Depoe Bay Chamber office manager, said hotels and retailers are reporting an increase in visitors compared to previous years. “The fall and winter have become a whole new tourist season for us over the past five years or so,” said Barkhurst. “Visitors come to see the high surf, the crashing waves and the storms. Many people will actually stay the night even if they don’t have a change of clothes and hadn’t planned to stay over because of the storms or just the attraction of the ocean.” Sandy Pfaff, Lincoln City Visitors and Convention Bureau
director, said the simple lure of the ocean is the main attraction. “I suspect it is the sheer power of the ocean, the height and intensity of the waves, and probably also the negative ions released,” said Pfaff. Burkhurst said the intensity of the fall and winter storms are especially attractive to many people. “We laugh every winter when we see visitors standing at the sea wall in the pouring rain and strong winds and getting soaked as the waves hit the wall,” said Burkhurst. But the people are not limiting their trips to the Coast just during the stormy weather. Stores along Highway 101 in Lincoln City and in Depoe Bay are reporting brisk business this fall even on overcast and sunny days. “Those that come only for the day still leave about $50 each in our economy,” said Pfaff. “When the storms roll See STORMS, Page B7

Annual Restoration Pow-Wow Nov. 16 The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians will hold its annual Restoration Pow-Wow at 6 p.m. at Chinook Winds Casino Resort in Lincoln City on Nov. 16 This is the 36th year the Siletz Tribe has celebrated the signing of Public Law 95-195, which re-established government-to-government relations between the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and the federal government. The Siletz Tribe was terminated from federal recognition in August 1954. In the late 1960s, it became apparent to Tribal leaders that the only way to preserve and revitalize Siletz Tribal sovereignty, community and culture was for the Siletz to regain its status as a Tribe recognized by the United States. In November 1977, after years of intense lobbying, Congress and President Jimmy Carter approved Public Law 95-195, which reinstated recognition of the Siletz as a federal Indian Tribe. The Siletz Tribe was the second in the nation – and the first in Oregon – to achieve restoration. Significant Tribal accomplishments since Restoration include opening the original health clinic in 1991 and a new much larger clinic in 2010; building more than 150 homes and multiple dwellings for Tribal members, including 20 units at Neachesna Village in Lincoln City that opened in 2009, plus another eight units there and 19 apartments in Siletz that opened in 2010 and seven homes in the

The Nancy Usher egg collection GUEST COLUMN By Niki Price
This is a column about thanks, and about giving. Instead of talking turkey, though, let’s think about eggs. But not just any eggs. These are decorated collectible eggs – ceramic, wooden, stone, humble and bejeweled – gathered during the life and travels of the late Nancy Usher. More than 100 of them are on display now, in her curio cabinet Nancy Usher just outside the Chessman Gallery in the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Usher’s decorated egg collection came to the LCCC along with a memorial donation: $5,000, to be used as a challenge grant in our annual fundraising campaign. This week, as we begin that campaign, we’re thanking Usher and hope that you will do the same. Nancy Jean Usher was born in Fremont, Ohio, on March 13, 1934. In 1952, she married the love of her life, Ronald Usher, and they settled in Northern California. They often traveled the Oregon Coast, to visit Ron’s sister in Seattle, and on those trips they fell in love with Lincoln City. They decided to build their retirement home here, overlooking the ocean. Together, they designed their handicapped accessible Roads End house, where they lived from 1995 until 2012. The access was necessary, as her friends well know, because in her later years Nancy battled a variety of bone and muscle conditions. She never let it keep her from enjoying her retirement, or contributing to the life of her adopted hometown. Ron and Nancy were active in the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation, as well as the Congregational Church of Lincoln City and other local institutions. “Throughout their lives they were avid supporters of the arts, including community theater, as well as the Lincoln City Cultural Center,” said their son, Craig. “My mom greatly valued the community and friendships they had in Lincoln City.” They gave significant time, energy and money to the LCCC, and were thrilled to see it blossom within the brick walls of the historic Delake School. Up until a year ago they were regulars at the evening concerts, with Nancy’s motorized wheelchair parked at just the right angle and her soda served with a straw. The Ushers celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary at the LCCC on New Year’s Eve 2011. But the following year would prove difficult, with her physical problems and his Alzheimer’s disease both advancing rapidly. In late 2012, they moved back to Sacramento, where Nancy died on March 8. She is survived by her sons (Brad, Eric, Mike and Craig), her sisters Mary Jacobs and Pat Tedesco, her brother, John Mallon, and of course, her beloved husband. Ron now lives in an assisted care facility, not far from his son’s home in California. “My mom’s greatest pride in life was being married to my dad for so long and raising four very diverse, but uniquely successful sons. As a mom she put great value on our educations and was very involved in promoting our learning and success throughout our lives,” Craig said. Nancy’s spirit lives on, through the egg collection in the north hall and the Usher family’s generous contribution to the 2013 Fall Campaign. The fundraising goal is $15,000, all of which will go toward the day-to-day operations of this place that Ron and Nancy loved. With these funds, we can replace the light bulbs, mop the floors, sweep the parking lot and complete a hundred other little tasks that make our center a home for the arts in Lincoln City. You’re invited to visit the center, enjoy Nancy’s pretty collection, and perhaps, give a little egg-stra. Niki Price is the director of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, located at 540 N.E. Highway 101 in Lincoln City. To learn more about the Cultural Center’s Fall Campaign, call Niki at 541-9949994 or visit www.lincolncityculturalcenter.org.

The Siletz Tribe has honored its tradition of sharing within the community by distributing more than $10.7 million through the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund and other Tribal resources. Chinook Winds has donated nearly $2.3 million in cash and fundraising items since 1995. The Tribe provides in-kind donations of convention space for various
fundraisers as well as technical support, advertising and manpower for events. Dedicated to improving the quality of life of its more than 4,900 members, the Tribe puts strong emphasis on the education, health and social well being of all its members. The Pow-Wow opens with a grand entry at 6 p.m. American Indian vendors with jewelry, beadwork and other items for sale will be available throughout the day.
Details about a “secret” community and the role of the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in the Manhattan Project will be presented during a free public discussion at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23, at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum. Gordon “Mick” McLean will describe the building of a secret community on the banks of the Columbia River. The community was specifically built to enable the creation of the nuclear product, plutonium, dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. The significance of plutonium and the nuclear bomb in effectively ending World War II, along with Hanford’s continuing role and success in the Cold War, also will be discussed at the museum at 4907 S.W. Highway 101 in Lincoln City.
“Secret Community” Presentation • 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 23 • North Lincoln County Historical Museum 4907 S.W. Highway 101 Lincoln City • 541-996-6614 McLean will give a first-hand account of how people who lived downwind and downstream from Hanford’s radiation emissions dealt with leaks of the “hottest toxic waste” in the world. McLean lived on a wheat farm in Walla Walla, Wash., and has pursued the subject ,with a zeal born from personal experience “My birth certificate was selected at random along with those of about 300 others, so I became one of the first patients to see
what the health impacts people suffered living near the plant,” said McLean. “I had to have a few physical exams and I had to fill out many forms, particular about the cow’s milk that I drank as a child, because we used cows that ate grass on our farm downwind of the plant.” An examination of Hanford’s unintended consequences and collateral damage to the environment in and around the Columbia River will conclude the program. McLean, who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Washington State, is retired from a 35-year career in hospital administration from Providence Health and Services. He and his wife, Patsy, reside in Lincoln City, where he continues to work as a community advocate and as chairman of the North Lincoln Health-Hospital District.

The Lincoln City Rotary Club has launched its annual wreath sale to help generate funds for its scholarship program to assist local students in furthering their education after high school. “We know the holidays are here when we see these wreaths decorating doors throughout the area,” said Al Hatton, Rotary wreath committee chair. “The funds from this project fuel Lincoln City Rotary’s work throughout the year – both locally and throughout the world.” Profits from wreath purchases in the last 35 years have generated more than $500,000 for the Rotary Club.

Unique ukulele workshops set for Cultural Center outside of the Islands. Nelson was one of the first non-Hawaiian musicians to master the style. He was given the name Kailana by Aunty Nona Beamer, who blessed his playing and encouraged him to teach. His playing honors those that came before, and his teaching passes it on to the next generation. The ukulele has well known Hawaiian roots as well. Nelson took up the instrument in Hawaii and plays just about every kind of music imaginable. Nelson is an engaging performer, artfully weaving stories and humor with heartfelt music. Nelson has performed just about everywhere — from Barrow to Boston; Sligo to San Diego. He’s shared the stage with performers as diverse as Grover Mark Nelson Washington Jr.; Keola Beamer; Norton Buffalo; Phoebe Snow, Doc Watson, George Winston and many others.

Mark Kailana Nelson’s music transports you to a tranquil world where tropical winds carry the echoes of soft music and faraway lands. He explores music from islands real and imaginary, lovingly played on instruments from widely different parts of the world, Bringing together two of the world’s most beautiful instrumental styles — Hawaiian slack key guitar and ukulele, and Mark’s groundbreaking Celtic dulcimer — he creates an enchanting new sound as soothing as an island breeze. That breeze will blow into the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, and Sunday, Nov. 17. Tickets are $12 in advance, $14 at the door and on sale at the Cultural Center, 540 N.E. Highway 101, or by calling 541-9949994. On Sunday, Nelson will offer ukulele workshops at 10:30 a.m. and noon. The cost is $35 for one, or $50 for both. During a career that started well before he could drive, Nelson has picked up music from places as far away as the South Pacific, the Irish Sea and Alta, Calif. A multi-instrumentalist, he is equally at home in a wide variety of traditional music settings and a number of interesting folk instruments. In the early 1970’s Nelson was one of a handful of freespirited musicians who created a vocabulary for the Appalachian dulcimer and guitar. He created a driving flatpicking dulcimer style, playing the instrument with a force and passion seldom heard. A win at the National Mountain Dulcimer Championships in Winfield, Kansas, in 1979 led to appearances at festivals, colleges and coffeehouses across North America and Europe, and a recording career spanning 25 years and counting. Ki Ho `alu, or slack key guitar, is a uniquely Hawaiian music. Legend has it that Spanish cowboys hired to teach cattle handling in the 1830’s brought the first guitars the Polynesians had seen. Until very recently, slack key was almost unknown

‘Grandma Aggie’ to share stories with students Native American Heritage Month JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Agnes “Grandma Aggie” Baker Pilgrim, said to be the oldest living woman among the Southern Oregon Native Americans who occupied land along the Rogue River 20,000 years ago, will share Native American stories with Lincoln City students next week. As part of Native American Month, Pilgrim told stories to fourth-grade students at Oceanlake Elementary on Tuesday, Nov. 12, and will tell stories to Head Start students Wednesday, Nov. 13, and to fourthgraders at Taft Elementary School on Nov. 14.

in, people come from as far away as Arizona and New Mexico. Then we see people spending an average of $150 per night into the economy.” Burkhurst and Pfaff said the weather, stormy or sunny, has become an economic gauge for the Coast. “When the storms do hit, Mother Nature is giving us an economic boost and we’ll take it,” said Burkhurst. Pfaff and her staff are using the storm season to leverage more visitors. “We promote storm watching on our website
and in editorial press,” said Pfaff. “We are currently editing broadcast commercials for airing in the Valley and in Boise. We are scheduled to launch that commercial in January, dovetailing with a similar winter campaign by the Oregon Coast Visitors Association. The concept is to feature things you can only experience here in the winter and shoulder seasons.” Pfaff said the storms, and the Bureau’s glass float promotion, Finders Keepers, are perfect for outreach promotions around the world to attract more visitors to the
area. Pfaff said locations above the beach are usually the most popular to watch the ocean and the incoming storms at Lincoln City. “High up, on any of the cliffs and certainly inside,” said Pfaff. “The restaurant and lounge at the Inn at Spanish Head are popular spots, as are any of the other oceanfront restaurants and lodging properties. “We remind people to stay up off the beach and preferably inside where it is relatively safe during the big storms. We always remind them not to turn their backs on the beach.”
