The Devils Lake Water Improvement District (DLWID) Board of Directors will hold a public work session from 10 a.m, to noon Saturday, April 19, at Oregon Coast Community College, 3788 S.E. High School Drive in Lincoln City, to discuss short and long-term options to restoring the health of Devils Lake.

Heightened public concern has caused the district to initiate the beginning of its water quality monitoring following the change seen at the lake over the last week, according to DLWID Lake Manager Paul Robertson.

The water monitoring is usually done between Memorial Day and Labor Day. “Samples have been sent to the lab for toxin monitoring and identification which we expect back shortly and will forward on when we can,” he said in a posting on the DLWID website.

“The bloom in parts of the lake has diminished significantly. Water clarity was 240 percent better Monday morning in the southern half of the lake as compared to Friday. In fact, See LAKE, Page A6

A revised housing development is under review at Lincoln City Hall for this site off Logan Road at Roads End.

Developers of a planned multimillion dollar housing project proposed for Logan Road in Roads End have submitted a revised plan for City review.

The revisions follow a Dec. 18 public meeting with surrounding neighbors who outlined concerns about increased traffic, loss of natural views and the ability of developers to finish the project and generate home and apartment sales.

The proposed Logan Park would include a natural area with trails and lookouts surrounded by single-family homes, row houses and flats, and a center green space as an anchor. The site has been untouched since an 11acre clearcut in 2011.

The basic development plan is the same, with numerous minor adjust-

ments, according to Rich Catlin, senior planner with Reece and Associates, a civil engineering and land-use planning company based in Albany working with the property owner.

“There would be three acres of open space in the middle surrounded by homes that would face inward toward the open space,” he said. “It’s a blend of single family detached and attached homes marketed toward retirees and first-time home buyers, and fourplexes along Logan Road available for rent as workforce housing.”

Catlin said his group spent a great deal of time working out details of house locations, lot dimensions, parking, pathways, and street grades and the regulating plan that defines building type, placement and construction materials to ensure continuity of style See PARK, Page A9

Depoe Bay firefighters mount smoke detector outreach JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A trailer fire in Seal Rock claimed a mother and her two small children on Feb. 28.

Depoe Bay firefighters concerned about the tragedy are going door to door to make sure such a loss of life doesn’t happen in their community.

“We are going around the community to make sure people have adequate smoke detectors installed in their homes,” Depoe Bay Fire District Lt. Dave Champion said. “We are giving smoke detectors to anyone who doesn’t have one in their home.”

Champion said the detectors are free and the firefighters will install them.

has used a grant to purchase dozens of detectors.

“We gave out 18 of the detectors at one trailer park alone,” Lt. Patrick Ganz said. “It is alarming that we have all these RV’s and trailers in our district that don’t have smoke alarms.”

Ganz said the RV’s and trailers are at a higher fire risk than most homes.

“Many times, these RV’s and trailers are located next to other trailers or homes, so when one See DETECTORS, Page A9

These photos show before the Salmon Creek Estuary was restored and after restoration began.

Estuary restoration includes interruptive center “ T The finishing touches of a 600-acre restoration project at the Salmon River Estuary that has spanned 34 years will include a public interruptive center on Fraser Road just off Highway 101. Work on the center is expected to begin this summer.

The restoration is managed by the Siuslaw Forest in partnership with the Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council and

funded, in large part, by the Oregon Watershed Enhancement Board and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service Watershed Program Manager Kami Ellingson said.

The latest funding includes a $1.3 million national grant with additional funding from the Oregon Department of State Lands.

The project includes full restoration of multiple tide marshes, specifically where areas of development had

occurred, including a housing project and the former Pixieland, an amusement park along Highway 18. The project also included removal of manmade dikes and dams and planting of thousands of trees and hundreds of native shrubs.

“This summer we will be completing an eight acre project that includes removing an old marina, restoring the tidal marsh and constructing the interruptive center,” Ellingson said.

will be used to build the center.

“We conducted public scoping meetings to identify the site location on Fraser Road,” she said.

“There will be a turnaround, bathrooms and access to an interruptive trail. The project should be done by late summer.”

Ellingson said the

restoration will benefit the entire community and enhance wildlife habitat.

“It allows full fisheries access to the tidal channels and full natural flooding,” she said. “This is now a fully functioning natural estuary. It helps keep the fish populations healthy.”

Ellingson said more restoration work is planned at the site.

She gave the Lincoln City Council an update and outlined the restoration project during the Council’s April 14 meeting.

Students get an up-close, hands-on estuary experience JEREMY C RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A mix of 110 students from Taft High 7-12 chemistry, biology, and design/ engineering classes got an up-close and personal look at the Salmon River Estuary April 4 during Watershed Ecology Day at Camp Westwind.

Taft High teacher Noah Lambie brought his robotics students to the estuary to get hands-on experiences.

“This is what real scientists encounter when they take these machines to the unknown,” he said.

“This field trip shows them what to expect.”

Hunter Bishop,14, an experienced robot maker, said he liked the challenge of using robotics on the water.

“It is really fun to do stuff like this and go exploring the river,” he said.

Joram Hoff, 13, a firstyear robotic student was learning the ropes at the river’s side.

“I hope to have a better understanding of what do to next year,” he said.

The field trip to the estuary and hands-on learning offers a valuable lesson for the students, Paul Katen, a volunteer helping the students, said.

Taft High 7-12 students spent the day April 4 exploring the Salmon River Estuary as part of a field trip to connect the students with outdoor learning experiences.

“I hope they get a better understanding of how the estuary functions and how it is being restored,” he said. “Using their robotic devices will help them understand what’s on the surface and below the water.”

Salmon Drift Creek Watershed Council’s Lisa Mulchy said the purpose of the field trip is for students to learn about why watersheds are important

and what is unique about the Salmon River Estuary.

“This field trip presents the opportunity to learn about the different habitats within the Salmon River, including estuary, beach, and sloughs and their interconnections,” she said. “We emphasize the importance of water quality for salmon and wildlife, habitat for salmon and wildlife, and a strong connection with

the environment by taking positive personal actions to protect and restore the water and land.”

Mulchy said the Watershed Council’s hope is that instructors and students make connections with salmon and watersheds.

“For example, with weather, how weather conditions might influence salmon runs; with tidepooling, how salmon spend time in the ocean;

and in the estuary, how juvenile salmon spend time in the estuary or

how macroinvertebrates are important as food for young salmon.”

Council takes first step in medical pot moratorium JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

After considerable debate, the Lincoln City City Council has given tentative approval to a one-year moratorium against medical marijuana dispensaries, pending review by the city planning department of land use zones and where the dispensaries could be located.

“The staff has been directed by the Council to initiate amendments to the land-use code to further define commercial, industrial and mixed use zones under the definition given to use by the state where medical marijuana dispensaries would be allowed,” City Attorney Richard Appicello said.

At its April 14 meeting, the council also had the first reading of an ordinance to adopt a one-year moratorium to give the planning department the time necessary to act on the land-use issue. Councilors Chester Noreikis and Wes Ryan voted against the moratorium.

“Under the city charter,

unless the vote is unanimous, the council has to come back for a second reading of the ordinance before it can be adopted,” Appicello said. “If the second reading is approved, and they continue with an emergency declaration, the ordinance would be immediately effective and there would be a moratorium in place until Jan. 1 or until the council rescinds the moratorium.”

The Council is set to take the second reading of the moratorium April 28.

Randy Mallette told the council he has applied with the state to open a dispensary in Lincoln City.

“We got involved with medical marijuana when my mother was diagnosed with cancer and doctors prescribed marijuana to ease her pain,” he said.

“We lived the experience with my mom suffering and dying and how a drive to Salem or Portland to purchase marijuana was prohibitive.”

Mallette said he would agree to conform to whatever future land-use laws

are established to regulate the dispensaries.

“But a moratorium for me will be financially devastating,” he said. “I am not wealthy. I can’t sit by for a year paying bills to open my store.”

Mallette opened a dispensary in Lincoln City a few years ago, but a school opened within 1,000 feet of his store and he was forced to close it.

“I moved, but I lost all the money I put into that store,” Mallette said.

The Council also had its first reading of a set of health and safety regulations for vacation rental dwellings ( VRDs).

There was considerable discussion of imposing a regulation to ensure VRD operators kept hot tubs properly maintained following a presentation by Lincoln County Environmental Health Program Manager Amy Chapman.

City Planning Director Richard Townsend outlined his annual vacant commercial space inventory report.

The inventory shows 112,284 square feet of

“Overall it is a positive trend,” he said. “We are seeing a number of smaller

spaces filing up and that’s an indication of optimism by small business operators. It’s not great, but all in all it is generally positive.”

Lincoln County budget update GUEST COLUMN

After several challenging years, the financial picture for Lincoln County government is looking more encouraging. There are a couple of reasons for this: our economy is starting to recover, and our entire organization has shared in the belt-tightening during the tough times.

In 2009-10, a dramatic, across-the-board drop in our revenues triggered by the recession led us to reduce the overall county workforce by 15 percent. This came on top of reductions we had already made in our road department due to the decline of timber replacement dollars.

Property taxes, state and federal revenues, transient room taxes, fees for services and interest all dropped off, in many cases dramatically. We made difficult and sometimes unpopular choices, but we heard a clear mandate from the public that we needed to live within our reduced means, just as businesses, families and individuals had done during these challenging times.

For the last three years, we’ve held the line on staffing. The proposed 2014-15 spending blueprint being presented to our budget committee contains 4.5 new positions, the first general fund add-backs since the cuts.

Although our revenues have recovered from the record lows of a few years ago, they have barely kept pace with inflation. The credit for our ability to maintain the status quo and begin the rebuilding process is shared by every member of our organization. Our managers have been careful stewards of public funds. The Board of Commissioners has sought to fairly compensate our employees for their service while acknowledging current fiscal realities. The willingness of our two largest unions to accept furlough days during the worst of the cuts helped avoid even more severe reductions in 2009-10. The agreement by every one of our bargaining units during the latest round of contract negotiations to move to a high-deductible health plan as proposed by the commissioners is saving the county an estimated $1.2 million this year alone.

The Board of Commissioners’ first priority has been to add positions in areas that support activities throughout the organization.

Our facilities and maintenance staff, which were slashed from six positions to three, will see one add-back. This is an important step to ensure we are staying current on preventive maintenance to protect the public’s large investment in buildings and grounds. We are seeing increased turnover in the county workforce, mainly due to accelerating retirements as people reach the end of their careers. A new position in our personnel department will allow us to cope with these changing demographics.

The other 2.5 positions proposed to be added are in public safety. A half-time position is being restored in the District Attorney’s Office to provide critical support to prosecutorial staff. An additional position in the Civil Division of the Sheriff’s Office will help address a growing workload. A restored slot for a Sheriff’s Patrol Deputy will help address a steadily increasing demand for service. We are able to take these positive steps at a time when many other Oregon counties, especially those dependent on timber dollars, continue to seek public support for additional operating funds from voters while being forced to make further service reductions.

The public is invited to review the budget document, which will soon be online on the county website. Our first round of budget hearings is scheduled for the first week in May. On May 5, we will be at Toledo City Hall; on May 6, at Waldport City Hall; and May 7 at Lincoln City’s City Hall. All meetings begin at 6 p.m., and the public is welcome at all sessions.

In addition to the commissioners, the budget committee includes citizen members Linda Roy and John Baird of Lincoln City and Loren Goddard of Depoe Bay. The budget sets the direction for your county government for the coming year. We encourage your involvement.

I will never forget a man who came into my church, 10 years ago and left and said, “I just don’t get this communion stuff. You drink ‘blood’ and eat ‘flesh’ That’s gross!” I could see his point. In society we consider that cannibalistic. In my church, it is a symbol of Jesus’ death and resurrection, that we

regularly take using grape juice and crackers to remember Jesus Christ’s perfect sacrifice on the cross. There’s no getting around it, the Bible is a bloody book. Death came into the world through the first recorded human’s sin, and through the perfect shed blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, came forgiveness of sin, salvation and eternal life for

everyone who believes. The cute little Easter bunnies and chicks are the reminder of the new forgiven life we can live in Jesus Christ.

The blood in our bodies is a phenomenal tissue. Not one drop of our blood mixes with our mother’s blood in the womb. Every 23 seconds, blood circulates to every cell in our body, supplying our body

with nourishment and removing the waste all at the same time.

Blood remains somewhat of a mystery to scientists as it cannot be reproduced. That’s why we go give blood at the hospital or a blood drive, to help sustain the life of someone else. Leviticus 17:11 says. “The life of a creature is in the blood.”

It’s the blood that connects all those who believe in Jesus Christ together. It is the reason

churches will work together again this August for “Love My Neighbor.” There’s a lot of love in the family of God. It is in the blood.

Mildred Freshour looks at a photo of her great-grandfather, John Wesley Bones, that hangs on the wall of the North Lincoln County Historical Museum.

A birthday party at the museum “I remember one day we were visiting my greatgrandfather at this home and he went over and brought ice cream cones for us kids,” she said. “I thought that was a big treat.”

Mildred said she was a bit fearful of Bones when they first met.

“Because I’d never seen

a man with that many white whiskers on his face,” she said. “I was kind of taken aback, but he turned out to be a kind soul. He looked like Santa Claus, and he used to have little kids sit on his lap.”

“I remember sitting on Mr. Bones lap when I was very young,” Ron said.

The celebration was

held in an upstairs room of the museum, where photos of Bones and his wife hang.

“I thought a surprise party for my mother would fit just right here at the museum,” Ron said.

Having her family photos at the museum is important, said Mildred, who resides in Salem.

Taiwanese, Japanese and Singaporean seniors on a bicycle tour of the West Coast took a break from the trip in Lincoln City.

Taiwan’s Golden Generation cycles through town

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A group of Taiwanese, Japanese and Singaporean seniors visited Lincoln City Tuesday, April 8, during a 2,000-kilometer, 21-day bike tour along the West Coast of North America. Its journey began in Burnaby, British Columbia, and will conclude at Google headquarters in San Jose, Calif.

The group, comprised of 42 cyclists, averages 72 years of age – the oldest member is 93. The Golden Generation cycling tour is celebrating its eighth year and has taken

participants all around the world. As unofficial ambassadors representing the active older generation in Taiwan, organizers said the tour aims to inspire seniors to embrace new challenges and promote Taiwan as a healthy aging society.

Lincoln City Councilor Chester Noreikis and Scott Humpert of the Lincoln City Visitor & Convention Bureau welcomed the group to Lincoln City.

Taiwan producer Fan Ko-Chin is traveling with the group and is filming a documentary for release in June.

“By encouraging people

to go beyond their limits, the trip is demonstrating that seniors are a blessing to Taiwan society, not a burden,” tour group leader and CEO of Concern and Care Society David Lee said.

Humpert said the tour represents an economic boost for Lincoln City.

“It is nice to see such international travelers and to know that we are getting the word out about our natural beauty. These folks are taking word back to their country to come to our city,” he said.

“They are acting as unofficial ambassadors for Lincoln City.”

There are many tax preparers who are honest. They provide excellent service to their clients. Others, unfortunately, are less than scrupulous. They can cause their clients legal and financial nightmares. The IRS is in the process of requiring professional tax preparers to register, pass a competency test and meet continuing education requirements. The State of Oregon does this for all preparers working in Oregon.

A professional tax preparation service can help you file your quarterly or annual tax returns. Tax codes are becoming more complicated every year. Why run the risk of making a mistake? A reliable tax preparer can save you time and money. Finding experienced and responsible tax professionals requires research. The IRS is the first to urge caution. After all, a tax preparation service does not absolve you of problems stemming from an incorrect tax return and there is no guarantee against an audit.

The federal tax code changes every year. It is a challenge for tax professionals to stay current with the changes. A CPA specializing in taxation should have documentations of any continuing education classes completed in the past year.

It might seem like an unusual place to celebrate a birthday, but for Ron Freshour, a surprise birthday party for his mother, Mildred Freshour, at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, was quite appropriate.

Mildred turned 97 on April 9 and the celebration that day marked a bit of history. She is the greatgranddaughter of John Wesley Bones, who opened the first post office in Taft in 1903 at his store, where the current Mo’s Restaurant is located. Bones’ house was across the street from the store.

Boynton transitions into LCSD post Lake From page A1 you could see all the way to the bottom near the island.”

Robertson said freshwater inputs from Rock Creek are helping flush out the lower half of the lake.

“Dissolved oxygen, however, was greatly improved throughout the lake as winds provided good mixing for the last few days,” he said. “The bloom that ‘crashed’ leading to the serious scums seen last week has been using oxygen rapidly that causes the depressed oxygen levels which nature is now replenishing through wind induced circulation and mixing, which we hope will continue.”

The Oregon Health Authority is monitoring the lake health, but as of April 15 had not issued any health advisory.

A standing room-onlycrowd-filled the Lincoln City City Council Chambers Thursday night, April 10, as the DLWID Board of Directors held its monthly meeting to discuss the health of the lake.

“This lake is dead. This is a swamp now,” Lincoln City resident Bill Kreutzer testified before the board.

He laid out several photos on the counter as he spoke, showing the impact at the lake of blue-green algae bloom proliferation.

“I’ve been fishing at this lake for 10 years,” he said.

“The condition it is in now is mind-blowing. We aren’t using common sense here.

There is something dead wrong.”

A parade of other lake residents voiced their concerns about what many called a dramatic deterioration of Devils Lake over the past year. Several claimed

Several people stormed out of the public meeting held April 10 by the Devils Lake Water Improvement District Board, frustrated about the health of the lake. the condition of the lake has impacted the local economy and is keeping visitors to Lincoln City away. Several others demanded that the board take immediate action to clean the lake.

“We have a dying lake,” one woman said. “Something has to be done immediately.”

“Please, I compel you to take aggressive action,” another lake resident said.

“Please don’t continue to ignore us,” Devils Lake Neighborhood Association President Joe Barnes said. “Consider this a shot across your bow.”

He called for an immediate change in the DLWIB leadership.

Several of those testifying told the board to dredge the lake and raise the water level.

“I am not opposed to discussing raising the level of the lake,” Board member David Skirvin said, “but I don’t want to take rash actions.”

To that statement, several of those in the audience began yelling, “Raise the lake.”

One woman presented the board with what she said

“Everyday that we prolong this is more misery for the lake residents,” said Ward.

Robertson outlined the history of the lake issues and updated the board on solutions already in progress such as shoreline vegetation restoration projects and a plan by the City to establish a sewer system at the lake to do away with the septic systems.

Robertson also outlined a list of other possible solutions that included dredging, using sonic waves, and chemical treatments.

Speaking succinctly, Steve Boynton had perhaps the most appropriate answer possible when asked what his immediate priority would be as he transitions into the position of new Lincoln County School District (LCSD) superintendent.

“Learn,” he said.

Perhaps fittingly, what Boynton, who officially replaces longtime district head Tom Rinearson July 1, learned Tuesday, April 8, at his first regular meeting of the LCSD Board at Taft Elementary School is that his present post as superintendent of the Arlington School District is probably not much different.

“I did a little bit of that today, just getting to know some people and the processes and learning the ropes,” Boynton said.

What Boynton also learned Tuesday is not only that moneymatters will be of chief concern, but that caring for students’ special needs in times of tragedy is well under wraps.

In what has become an almost annual message, LCSD Business Manager Julie Baldwin informed the Board that the closing fund balance for the 2013-14 school year will be approximately half of the near $3 million ending balance of a year ago.

Baldwin said the substantial carryover probably saved the district from making cuts that likely would have included layoffs.

“We were fortunate to have the $2.9 million ending fund balance to absorb this hit,” Baldwin said. “Without it, we would have had to do layoffs, pay freezes or other measures since school districts cannot have a negative balance. “ Baldwin blamed a loss of state funding due to a decline in experience among LCSD teachers over recent years, which is now lower than the

state average.

“We have seen huge swings in state funding over the last 10 years,” Rinearson said. “It is fortunate that the teacher experience issue happened in a time of good economics.”

What Boynton learned before that, however - both by observation and word of mouth - was that the LCSD is in good hands when it comes to grief counseling and caring for its students in time of tragedy.

Two LCSD students were killed in separate traffic accidents days earlier, including 18-year-old Taft High 7-12 senior Cayden Thomas Fitch on April 4.

Less than a month earlier, Fitch had achieved the honor of Eagle Scout. He was preparing to enter the U.S. Navy in August as an advanced field computer technician thanks to his Eagle ranking.

Also killed was Waldport senior Makala Marie Osborn, 18, who plunged off a cliff into the Alsea River seven miles east of Waldport the next day, April 5.

The District, under the direction of Safety Coordinator Susan Graves, established care rooms at both schools with professional and trained volunteer grief counselors attending to students’ needs.

“It’s a credit to the staff here to be able to pull that together over the weekend,” Rinearson said. “The unfortunate thing is the more you deal with these types of situations, the better the process gets. Hopefully, it will be a long time before we have to do it again.”

Board Chairman Ron Beck and Taft High Principal Majalise Tolan joined Rinearson in applauding the District’s efforts, which included the comforting presence of a golden retriever named Amber at the Taft High care center.

“My hope is that everyone takes care of themselves as graduation comes and there’s that feeling of freedom that students get,” Rinearson said.

Arrest made, body found in missing man investigation THE NEWS GUARD

A Pennsylvania man has been arraigned on first- and second-degree manslaughter charges involving the disappearance and death of a Newport man.

Donald Richard Lawyer III, 35, was connected to the death of 37-year-old Michael Lanpheare as the investigation unfolded last week.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s investigators report that at about 9 a.m. April 9, the Sheriff’s Office received a report that a body was located along the surfline of

the ocean beach in the Lost Creek area about five miles north of Seal Rock.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies, detectives and Oregon State troopers responded to the scene and identified the body as that of Lanpheare, who had been reported missing.

An autopsy was to be conducted to determine the manner and cause of death.

On April 2 at about 7 a.m. deputies responded to a report of a nude male covered in blood along Highway 101 in Seal Rock.

Deputies found the subject, Lawyer, and determined

he was possibly under the influence of drugs and was slightly injured. Lawyer was treated for minor injuries and hypothermia after being taken by deputies to Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport. A medical evaluation determined he was under the influence of controlled substances.

Lawyer left the hospital prior to a mental health evaluation and was later located at a residence in Newport, where he was taken into police protective custody and returned the hospital for a mental

health evaluation. Following the evaluation, Lawyer was arrested by deputies and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail for disorderly conduct in the second degree with a bail set at $10,000. Further investigation into the circumstances of Lawyer’s conduct in Seal Rock revealed that he was connected to Lanpheare’s disappearance.

Authorities said the investigation, statements made by Lawyer and the search of the area produced evidence that led to Lawyer’s arrest. His bail was set at $300,000.

New cop takes oath

Tenant leaves residence following standoff JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies were called to the Dolphin Motel April 14 to evict the last remaining tenant who refused to leave before the building is demolished to make room for a new Goodwill store along Highway 101 near 9th Street.

“Goodwill has gone to extraordinary lengths to assist this person, including working with mental health and other agencies to try to help her,” Goodwill’s Dale Emanuel said.

“Unfortunately, this per-

son continued to refuse all offers of help. As a result Goodwill began the legal process to resolve the situation.”

Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Barry Bruster said at first the woman refused to leave.

“I explained that we had a court order and if she doesn’t leave, we would arrest her for trespassing,” he said. “She decided to cooperate with us, but she asked that we help find her three cats.”

Two of the cats were found. A third was missing. The cats were taken to the Lincoln County

911 outage in Lincoln City ‘concerning’ JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The emergency system for Lincoln City 911 was disrupted by an outage from approximately 1:25 a.m. to 3:25 a.m.

Thursday April 10, due to problems with the phone system operated by CenturyLink, according to local officials and the phone company.

CenturyLink said it experienced two isolated phone outages in Washington and Oregon. In Oregon, the outage was caused by a maintenance issue that impacted approximately 16,000 people in Lincoln, Tillamook and Yamhill counties. Phone service was resolved by 3:25 a.m. on April 10.

The 911 outage that occurred in Washington on April 10 was not related to CenturyLink’s network, but due to a technical error by a thirdparty vendor. CenturyLink said it continues to work with the 911 centers to ensure that all issues have been resolved.

Lincoln City Police Sgt. Jeffrey Winn said the outage affected local Centurylink customers with landlines and the area’s 911 emergency services from about 1:25 a.m. to 3:25 a.m.

“If you tried to make a call to 911 in Lincoln City, you could not get through,” he said. “We were able to get our 911 transferred to Toledo as our backup. We don’t know of any 911 calls that were missed during that time.”

But Winn said there was a challenge in getting the back up system in place in a timely manner.

“It took about 45 minutes to get our system transferred,” he said. “The

switch we use here at the department didn’t function, so the connection didn’t work. We had to call CenturyLink by cell phone to have them do the transfer manually and that also took some time.”

Winn called the breakdown in CenturyLink’s system concerning.

“It is a concerning issue where we don’t have any control over what happens or how to resolve it,” he said. “The backup plans didn’t work effectively. It puts the public in some jeopardy not allowing them to get a hold of emergency services when they need those services.”

Winn said the City relies on three emergency communication systems that include the landlines, cell phones and satellite phones. The department also uses a backup transfer system to reroute the 911 calls to avoid any

disruption.

“We hope to hear back from CenturyLink about how such a breakdown in their system can be prevented next time,” Winn said.

Potholes From page A1

300 potholes each year, but with the annexation of Roads End it will likely be about 700 or more this year,” Public Works crewmember Tony Lewis said. “Most of them will be along gravel roads.”

The potholes usually show up after winter. They are caused by the expansion and contraction of ground water after the water has entered into the ground under the pavement. When water freezes, it expands and that expansion breaks up the surface of the road or street.

Bard Road and N.E. Surf Avenue have the most reoccurring problem potholes, with drainage issues and standing water creating the broken road surface, according to Bradley.

“Paving and storm drainage installation would be the permanent solution for those areas,” Bradley said.

But with the limited funding,

throughout the development.

He said the fourplexes were chosen as the rental type because they could be constructed to look like homes. They would have two floors with parking underneath.

“The property could develop under county zoning, but the city would have little influence over the layout of the site or the design of the dwellings,” Catlin said. “Consequently, annexation is important so the city can have a say in how

most of the potholes are filled with asphalt.

Bradley said the goal is longterm repair.

“So that we are not having to go back and repair the bad spot over and over,” she said.

Public works crews use two types of asphalt to fill the potholes.

“Hot mix asphalt is the best repair on paved streets,” Bradley said. “During the winter, and when the asphalt plants are not running, we use cold mix as a temporary repair. That is a much better product than in the past and can last for years in certain circumstances.”

The city also grades and gravels all of the graveled streets and a grading and graveling project is being considered for the Roads End area in the future.

“So material alone costs approximately, $10,000 annually,” Bradley said. “We also budget $6,000 for dust abatement that is spread on the gravel roads after July 4.”

Public works employee Ralph Beavers fills a pothole.

the site develops. It is an island surrounded by the city, so service issues regarding zoning and law enforcement are confusing because the county addresses those issues, not the city.”

Catlin said rezoning the property is necessary to take advantage of city planned development regulations that allow for clustering of homes around preserved open space.

City officials had expressed concerns about the impact of the project on Logan Road and the intersection into the property.

Catlin said a new street intersection is needed.

“We discussed various locations of a street intersection with city engineering staff,” he said. “The Logan Road frontage is steeper toward the south and flatter toward the north. The final location is the farthest south a road could be built that meets city standards for maximum grade for the approach road. It is also in the optimum location for sight distance in both directions, meaning drivers have the most time to react with caution.”

The project is divided into four phases. In phase 1, the fourplexes would be built along Logan Road

and restoration of the open space begun. Catlin said that would provide quick relief to the visual blight.

Phases 2 to 4 of single-family homes would follow.

The City is reviewing the revised Logan Park Plan.

Catlin said after the application is deemed complete, it would be set for public hearings before the Lincoln City Planning Commission and City Council.

“We expect the land-use process to take much of 2014,” Catlin said. “If approved, one more land-use hearing on the final master plan would follow.”

Department senior planner Debra Martzahn said.

“The city has its water storage facility just north of the site and we have to make sure, if there were a leak, there would be someplace for the water to go,” she said. “The obvious route would be into the canyon.”

The City’s water storage tank at Logan Road has a capacity of 4.25 million gallons.

Martzahn said the City is also concerned about wetlands in the area.

“They will need to avoid the wetlands,” she said.

Hawker said he was concerned about the proposed annexation of Logan Park.

“We need to be extremely cautious about annexing additional developed property because we have a lot of developed lots that are vacant, or partially vacant, and we are maintaining water lines, storm sewers and other infrastructure,” he said. “When there is no development on those lots the City is losing money.”

Sports Taft splits two games as league play opens

The News Guard

April 16, 2014

JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

Former big-league baseball legend Wee Willie Keeler had it right.

“Hit ‘em where they ain’t,” he explained of how he compiled his .341 lifetime batting average in the early 1900s.

The Taft High baseball team is trying to package some of that know-how.

The Tigers opened the Oregon West Conference season last week by splitting two games with Stayton, claiming the opener 2-0 at home on Tuesday, April 8, behind six nohit, shutout innings from senior ace Seth Steere, than falling 10-2 Thursday, April 10, to the Eagles on the road.

“It’s been a battle,” conceded first-year Taft head coach Dusty Hankins, whose team has hit the ball hard but at someone for the most part through the season’s opening week of league

replaced by junior Randy Herndon, who struck out two and surrendered a lone hit in the seventh.

“Seth pitched great and we played good defense,” Hankins said. “And, we had just enough offense to get the job done.”

Hankins said he pulled Steere with a no-hitter because of his elevated pitch count early in the season despite not surrendering a walk. Rylan Fisher, Pete Lahti and Alroy Zacarias joined Steere and Herndon with hits for the Tigers.

Herndon started Thursday’s second game loss and lasted 4 1/3 innings, allowing four earned runs before Zacarias and Joe Salsbery finished up.

The Tigers, who left 14 runners on base, were led at the plate by Lahti, Zacarias, and Cade Knott with two hits each. Fisher, Charlie Zeller, Everett St. Clair and Henry Lahti also collected hits for Taft.

“It’s hard to win games when you leave that many runners on base,” Hankins said. “Plus, we kind of had a late-game lapse of focus and Stayton capitalized and put six runs together [in the bottom of the sixth]. That was pretty much the nail in the coffin.”

Hankins said he is confident the Tigers, 7-2, will exercise timelier hitting when they resume league play Tuesday, April 15, at Philomath (past deadline, see thenewsguard.com) and again at 4 p.m. Thursday when they meet the Warriors at home.

“Sometimes that’s just the way the ball bounces,” he said. “We feel like the last game or two the ball hasn’t fallen, but we’ll be fine. We’re still making contact, but hitting it hard right at people. We’re just not finding the holes right now.”

Tigers sweep Stayton to claim share of first JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

With its usual display of solid defense and stingy pitching, the Taft High softball team took to the plate to earn a couple of blowout victories last week in the opening of Oregon West Conference play.

The Tigers defeated Stayton 15-0 in a shortened fiveinning league opener on the road Tuesday, April 8, then downed the Eagles 10-4 at home two days later to start the league season 2-0.

“I have to give props to our defense this week,” Taft coach Dave Broderick said.

“Stayton came out and hit the ball fairly well in the second game, but these girls were on their toes. Even if there was an error or misplayed ball, they stuck together, communicated very well and worked hard to get out of innings.”

Under gorgeous conditions in Tuesday’s conference opener, Stempel drove in Ray with a first-inning double to start the scoring and the rout was on. Stempel then scored Charli Haft and Kelsey Wilkinson with a shot down

the third-base line in the second.

After Stayton’s Lindsey Hill, an all-league pitcher, struck out the side in the third, the Tigers poured across 12 runs in the fourth.

Ayla Reed and Wilkinson walked and Stempel singled to load the bases. Pitchrunner McKensie Henson scored on a passed ball and senior allleague catcher Kietra Mason doubled to center to score two.

After Katie McCardell doubled, Emily Broderick bunted for a single, Wilkinson singled, Ray doubled and Stempel singled for her fourth hit before Mason doubled again.

McCardell threw all five innings, with three strikeouts and no walks. The Tigers played flawlessly in support.

Once home on Thursday, the hitting barrage that collected 13 hits in the opener resumed in a six-run victory behind McCardell.

Taft started sluggishly at the plate, but erupted later following some pitching adjustments by the Eagles.

Adams singled to start off the second, and Broderick bunted for a hit that scored Adams. Sierra Picard and Wilkinson walked before Ray drove Broderick in with a hard infield sacrifice.

Stayton scored twice in the third to tie the game despite a diving play on a ground ball by Broderick that her dad and coach argued got the runner at first.

The Tigers responded with five runs in the bottom of the fourth with Picard drawing a walk and Reed reaching on a bunt single. Wilkinson was hit by a pitch and Ray flew out to right. Stempel, a model of consistency in recent trips to the plate, according to her coach, singled to left-center for a run to start a parade of RBI hits by Mason, McCardell and Adams.

Taft scored three more runs in the fifth behind a RBI single from McCardell and two-run hit from Stempel.

Stayton’s only other run came in the sixth when Taft misplayed a spinning infield ball down the third-base line.

McCardell went the distance, striking out nine and walking three while surrendering four earned runs.

Taft’s Ayla Reed slides in for a run Thursday during the Tigers’ home victory over Stayton.

“Stayton came in and hit the ball a little better off her as we knew they would, but she seemed to get stronger as the game progressed and the defense stayed plugged in behind her,” Broderick said.

“Stempel is definitely performing at the top of her game offensively,” he said.

“She always seems to be able to make something hap-

Tigers stand tall until final hole JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

For 17 holes, Taft High boys golf coach Mark Swift was pretty encouraged by what he saw on Monday at Salishan Golf Resort during his team’s first Oregon West Conference competition.

Improvement clearly was evident from the Tigers’ season-opening match a week earlier at the Molalla Invitational, where the Tigers placed last in a nine-team event.

“The guys got a chance to see how they compare within the confines of the league schedule,” Swift said. “This is the good part, since they saw how close this is going to be all season. Hopefully, they take

away from Monday the importance of each shot each of them hits.”

Taft played the 18th hole on its home course in a cumulative 21-over par to place third in the five-team tournament Stayton claimed the team title at 382, followed by Newport, 423; Taft 428, Cascade, 480; and Central, 562.

“Losing to Newport by five is one thing, but to play the last hole of the day as poorly as we did, makes it gut-wrenching,” Swift said. “We had them beat, but playing that hole as a team average 4 over par tells us that we squandered 12 to 16 shots in one hole. This needs to change going forward.”

Evan Stanfill led the way for

Taft at 104 followed by Zander King, 106; Keaton Fisher, 107; Tyler Fisher, 111; and Connor Anderson, 125.

Mike Windsor of team champion Stayton claimed medalist honors with an 84. Newport’s Casey Little was runner-up at 90.

“We seem to be improving each week,” Swift said. Taft was scheduled to play another league match on Monday, April 14, at Stayton (past print deadline; visit thenewsguard.com).

In a busy week, Taft is scheduled to play Friday, April 18, at home in the Oregon Coast Classic, and Monday, April 21, in another conference match at Agate Beach Golf Course north of Newport.

Tigers show promise for season ahead JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net Outmanned but not outworked, the Taft High track and field team opened its league season Tuesday, April 8, at Central with a focus that left coach Tim Dressler looking to the future, relishing in the present and putting aside the past.

“As a team, we were outnumbered, and the team scores did not reflect how well we competed,” he said.

“But individually, we showed well and had tremendous improvements on our personal records.”

Particularly deserving of mention, Dressler said, was junior Mason Aguirre, who he labeled the “standout athlete of the night.”

Aguirre placed second in the 3,000 meters and third in the 1,500 to lead the Tigers.

“He is an amazing long-distance runner,” Dressler said. “He reminds me of the movie, Chariots of Fire. He runs with passion.”

Central won the boys meet with 89 points, followed by Philomath with 68 and Taft 24.

The Warriors won the girls meet with 98 points, followed by the Panthers with 71 and Tigers with 10.

Also excelling for the Tigers were senior Cassius Anderson, who placed second in the 100 meters, and sophomore Joshua Wright, who was fourth.

Freshman Nate Orton was fifth in the 200 meters, freshman Gavin Ceballos second and sophomore Trent Daniels fourth in the 400, and junior Drew Lee sixth in the 800. Freshman Brendon Adams was second in the 300-meter hurdles.

Eva and Olivia Barten, Sarahi Herver and Keyonna Williams paced the way for the Taft girl runners, while junior Joyce Campbell was second in the discus and fifth in the shot put.

With nearly 50 teams and track and field athletes as far as you could see, the Tigers brought a limited number of qualifying runners to Saturday’s annual Meet of Champions at Willamette University in Salem.

“This is a very competitive meet and it is an honor alone just to

qualify,” Dressler said.

With its largest contingent ever, Taft was led by Adams with personal bests in the triple jump and 300 hurdles.

“He is a very coachable athlete and learns fast,” Dressler said. “He will be a competitive threat at districts this year.”

Aguirre also ran a personal-best time in the 3,000.

“After the race, he said that it really hurt to run faster, but he still had a lot more in the tank,” Dressler said. “That shows me he has only touched the tip of the iceberg with his potential.”

Williams was another standout, Dressler said, “Her final kick in the 800 took her from last place in her flight all the way up to first in a matter of seconds. Keyonna has a natural gift in running.“ Taft was scheduled to compete Tuesday, April 15, at Newport (past The New Guard deadline; see thenewsguard.com for results), Saturday, April 19, at Banks and Tuesday, April 22, at Philomath.

“We are playing pretty balanced on both sides of the ball right now,” Broderick said. “The girls are settling in and letting the game come to them instead of trying to force things. The mood around the field is relaxed and confident and we are continuing to take things one day at a time.”

Taft’s Adams leads way JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

Work on the short game and avoiding potentially damaging numbers on difficult holes remained the focus last week of the Taft High girls golf team as it prepared for league play.

Taft placed second at Salem Golf Club on Monday, March 31, with Rachael Adams leading the way at 115 in light rain and calm conditions.

“Salem Golf Club was a good test to the girls’ games,” Taft High coach Heather Hatton said. “They were able to work on every aspect, from hazards, bunkers and patience when behind trees. I was happy with their performances. The entire team realized how important shortgame practice is after keeping track of their putts.”

Taft again was led by Adams on Monday, April 7, at Santiam Golf Course in Stayton, where only the Tigers and Regis comprised full teams, with Taft shooting the lower score at 476, a week’s improvement of 24 strokes.

Adams once again led the Tigers with a 105, while Hayden Zumhofe was next at 109. Zoe Teplick shot 121 and Shelby Wright 131 to round out the scoring for Taft.

Taft competed with just three players Tuesday, April 8, at Waldport, in a tribute to a senior student who lost her life in a traffic accident the previous weekend.

“We showed up in pink as a tribute to the Waldport team,” Hatton said.

Zumhofe led the way with a 107, while Teplick and Wright posted personal-best 114s.

“The girls are really focused on improving and are working hard every day,” Hatton said. “I’m really

proud of how much effort and determination they are bringing to each practice. I know they have an excellent chance at competing at a high level at districts in hopes for a team trip to state. I have confidence that no matter the outcome of any match, my team is trying its best on every shot.”

Assistant coach Rick Hatton said Adams’ swing is “on plane,” which creates an opportunity for her to strike the ball solidly. Her short game is coming around, Heather Hatton said, and experience will allow her to manage her game better.

Hatton also cited the play of Wright, who is displaying “remarkable” improvement.

“She is hungry to learn and it shows,” she said. “All the girls are great athletes, students and are representing Taft in a positive way. Coaches constantly compliment our players on their swings, knowledge of the rules and etiquette.”

Taft was scheduled to play at Newport’s Agate Beach Golf Course on Monday, April 14, (past The News Guard’s deadline, visit thenewsguard.com for results), and Tuesday, April 22, at Olalla Golf Course outside of Toledo.

“I’m very proud of my entire team,” Hatton said. “Mikayla Blackstocks is working hard to post a score in the fourth position, and I have every faith she will accomplish that goal. She has a lot of drive and determination.

“Sarahi Herver, for a firstyear golfer, has come a long way in a short amount of time. She is a two-sport athlete balancing track and golf at the same time. Her work ethic shows through with her ability to improve so quickly.”

Broderick, McCardell unselfishly team for Taft softball success JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

Forget their height, the long and short of it is this: Towering junior Katie McCardell is now queen of the hill for the Taft High softball team.

You can greatly thank diminutive senior Emily Broderick for that.

Talent aside, McCardell, at nearly 6 feet, and Broderick, at 5-3, are both all-league pitchers, longtime aces, and have been the overwhelming keys to success for Lincoln City youth softball for the past several seasons.

“Both girls work very hard in the offseason on their pitching and both have very different and unique qualities,” Taft High coach – and Emily’s father – Dave Broderick said.

The 16-year-old McCardell is a likeable, lanky lefthander who aspires to become a dental hygienist on the strength of a softball scholarship once she graduates next year.

The 18-year-old Broderick is a personable, petite righthander who relies more on spin and location and is interested in becoming an English teacher.

“Katie throws hard and has good movement on the ball,” Dave Broderick said. “She has worked hard after beginning to pitch a little late as a freshman.

“Emily doesn’t throw as hard and depends more on spin and ball placement. The fact that Katie is getting the ball more right now is simple -- she’s shutting teams down with her speed.”

In other words, the opposition can’t touch her.

McCardell threw a no-hitter in the Tigers’ season opener.

Broderick has supported her defensively at second base and offensively at the plate.

While McCardell has emerged as the player who will get the ball more, Broderick is the one who carried Lincoln City in the circle for several seasons as a youth softball star.

As lifelong Lincoln City residents, the duo is part of a group that includes Taft teammates BillyAnn Stempel, Hannah Ray, Keitra Mason, Ayla Reed, Kelsey Wilkinson and Sierra Picard that has played together since before they were in middle school.

“This team is special to me because of our special bond,” Broderick said. “We all get along so well and always have. There is nothing that can break us apart.”

McCardell’s prevalence in the circle isn’t the only new look to the Tigers this season.

“The great thing is I can tell Katie or Emily, or anyone else, where I need them to play on a particular day and they will do it, no questions asked,” Broderick said. “It’s the unselfishness we’re seeing from this team that’s the reason we’ve been successful to this point.”

The camaraderie is clearly evident at Tiger practices. While focused on the task at hand, it isn’t all business. Free-spirited, but regimented, practices are testament to that.

“This team is special because of the incredible bond we have,” McCardell said. “All sports say they are a family, but I feel like this team is closer to family than any other sport I’ve played.”

McCardell’s drive and desire to earn a college softball scholarship isn’t lost on her coach, either.

“I think it’s important for her to get the exposure she needs at the high school level so she can fulfill that chapter in her life,” he said.

Besides sports, McCardell likes fishing and hiking – most anything to do with the outdoors.

Not surprisingly, Broderick shares those interests. Oh, and riding dirt bikes.

“Katie and I have always been good friends and our families are friends also,” Emily said.

“We joke around quite a bit on and off the field.”

“Emily and I work as a team and always support each other,” McCardell said. “Outside of sports, we are pretty good friends and like to joke around and bring that onto the field.”

Next up for McCardell is probable stardom on the diamond in the Class 4A ranks.

Broderick, a star virtually her entire life, might have passed up that chance.

Her bat and glove will have something to say about that.

“If I get the chance to keep playing after high school, I would definitely take it,” she said.

At any position, no doubt.

Katie McCardell, left, is getting the ball more than teammate Emily Broderick this season, but Taft High’s all-league pitchers remain close friends.

In addition to the usual awards, the Manny Lopez Legacy Award, for the area’s outstanding youth coach, will be presented for the first time.

The popular longtime coach died recently and had his life celebrated by more than 300 people at a special ceremony in the Taft High School gym, where plans for the award were first announced.

“I’m really thrilled because we do have some new interests, this year,” Hill said. “We’re just celebrating the people who make Lincoln City what it is.”

All money raised during Community Days stays in Lincoln City, Hill said. Money is raised for scholarships and the like, she said, and $500 monetary awards will be distributed this year to nonprofit organizations such as the Taft High 7-12 Booster Club, Meals on Wheels, Community Emergency Response Team and Theatre West, which will use the money to help pay for a new air conditioning system.

“The money we present stays in the community,” she said. “It doesn’t go in the pocket of some vendor somewhere down the line.”

Wooden Boat Show and Great Coast Garage sale Crab Feed in Depoe Bay to boost local economy When Depoe Bay resident Jack Brown talks about his love for wooden boats, you can hear the passion in his voice. He said the boats are part of life at the Coast.

“The ocean is part of Depoe Bay and the history of Depoe Bay includes wooden boats,” he said.

“The bounty from the ocean has always been part of business, recreation and our lives in Depoe Bay.” Brown is a consultant to this weekend’s Classic Wooden Boat Show in Depoe Bay. The show began in 1994 as a connection to the ocean. The weekend also includes a community crab feed.

“The two themes, the crab feed and the wooden boats, both connect us with our history,” he said.

Brown said building a wooden boat is more than just functional and a hobby.

“You can build it and take it out on to the angry ocean and survive,” he said. “It’s something that gives people self-worth. For many, the wooden boats are their lives.”

For more information about the show, call Michael Granet at 541-765-2889.

Look for a parade of people to attend the annual Great Oregon Coast Garage Sale April 18–20 from Otis to Waldport.

The event began in 2000 and was designed by the Lincoln City Visitors & Convention Bureau to draw people to Lincoln City.

The Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce took lead of the event in 2011.

“The garage sales are one of the City’s wonderful events that brings visitors from all over to Lincoln City and other parts of the Coast,” Chamber Executive Director Nonni Augustine said. “We actually have people schedule their vacations so that they can make the rounds of the sales.”

Augustine said many of the garage sale visitors are hardcore.

“They begin arriving Wednesday and scope out all the locations of the sales,” she said. “They will take two maps and mark their routes, take photos, call each other on the phone with the best locations, and some wait for Sunday to take advantage of the markdowns. It is really pretty sophisticated.”

The garage sales are put on by a combination of homeowners, businesses, churches and nonprofit groups.

“Because people know that visitors are going to flood the area, many people take advantage of that,” Augustine said. ‘This is truly a coastal event. We have listings on our maps from Waldport, Newport, Depoe Bay, Lincoln Beach, Gleneden Beach and Otis.”

The Chamber charges $15 to have each sale listed on its map and $15 for sign depos-

Last year, the Chamber had more than 100 sale listings on its map. Augustine said it has 70-plus listings, fewer this year because of Easter.

Augustine says you’ll find a wide range of items, including tools, clothing, furniture, kitchen gadgets and artwork.

Maps are available at the Chamber office at 4039 N.W. Logan Road, local grocery stores and restaurants. The hours are up to the participants.

Earth Abides

Civic Meetings Calendar

By Ken McCormack

A new beginning For next week’s Earth Day, April 22, let’s take responsibility.

Our careless behavior has changed Earth much faster than predicted. We are living through a global crisis, and the United States is largely responsible.

There are good economic reasons, of course, to deny what has happened. ExxonMobil is recording higher profits than ever. Expensive disinformation campaigns are spreading doubt. Governments and corporations are urging “more growth.”

That is, “more for us!”

But in our hearts we know. Endless growth is impossible, and its pursuit is immoral.

Energy comes from the sun; oil is stored sun energy. Fossil fuel (unnaturally) now supports seven going on 10 billion people. In 1830, when oil was discovered, the population was one billion. Under normal conditions, sun energy could support, scientists say, two billion (the population in 1939).

What will happen to those other billions?

Well, the poor will suffer most. Waste, pollution and excessive wealth are forms of violence. As they rise, so do hunger, disease, and poverty. Wars in Africa are being fought over limited resources. Climate change is creating more refugees than war. Unprecedented storms are destroying farms and displacing millions.

Rising seas will soon put 650 million people in peril—including those on the Oregon Coast.

These prospects call for a deep change in our behavior—a daunting challenge that sounds impossible. But we can do it.

We must.

Remember the spirit of World War II. We rose as one unselfish nation to make necessary sacrifices. Now is a time like that.

Until recently, most religions accepted the common view that people are by nature competitive and selfish. The theme is continually repeated in books and movies. Humans are separate and superior.

Nature is here to serve us.

Scriptures of the world, including the Bible, however, often contradict this view.

So does modern science.

Anthropologist Robert Sussman recently told Smithsonian Magazine that, “The ultimate goal of evolution is to reach an ecological equilibrium and avoid competition and aggression.”

Science and religion agree.

We are nature. Destruction of our environment is self-destruction. Fungi, trees, plants and animals, including humans, are systems—not separate, independent individuals. Rich alliances and balanced relationships make life possible.

True, Congress will be going to work in canoes before they pass meaningful legislation. But we don’t need to wait.

The scientific theory of Emergence demonstrates that social creatures like us—fungi, ants, bees, herd animals—are bottom up creatures, not top down.

When we relate to one another as equals, we can accomplish amazing solutions.

Even green slime can join in a group intelligence that finds the shortest route through a maze!

If green slime, why not Green America? It’s spring! The end always leads to a new beginning.

Individuals are busy installing solar panels, tilling community gardens and conducting energy audits. They are riding bicycles, driving less, eating less meat, buying locally, and changing light bulbs.

Almost all Christian denominations have developed programs to protect God’s beloved creation. Organizations like Green Faith and Earth Ministry are reaching out to spiritual and secular groups. Thousands of small groups all over the world are working together—with love and hope, with reverence and service.

“The heart of our problem,” one theologian puts it, “is that when we look out upon the world we see a stockpile of ‘natural resources’ rather than a manifestation of God’s love, provision and concern.”
