This massive landside in Oso, Wash. March 22 moved 300 yards of debris over homes and roads and killed at least 27 people.

Searchers continued looking for victims this week following the massive landslide March 22 that killed at least 27 people and left dozens missing at Oso, Wash. Officials said the slide, caused by heavy rains that saturated the ground, moved 300 years of debris over homes and roadways.

Officials in Oregon issued a landslide warning during recent heavy rains last week, saying landslides can occur anytime of the year, and that the entire Oregon Coast is at risk for such events.

“Most landslides along the coast are most likely to move during periods of extended wet weather, but some can

move at any time of year,” Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries Chief Scientist Ian Madin said.

“Although the human tragedy at Oso was the result of an unusually large and fast-moving landslide, and a very unfortunate placement of homes.

What is more likely along the Oregon Coast is a much slower landslide that destroys roads or property over weeks or months.”

Madin said steep slopes, weak geology, such as mudSee LANDSLIDE, Page A8

Corks & Cuisine to benefit Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital JEREMY C/. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Funds raised at the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation’s annual Corks & Cuisine Fine Food and Wine Event held Saturday, March 29, at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort will help doctors and patients at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital.

“This benefit usually raises about $40,000,” North Lincoln Hospital NOW AT FounTHENEWSGUARD.COM dation Cindi Fostveit said. “The money is used to purchase medical equipment for Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital.

This year, we hope to buy an enhanced automated patience monitoring system.”

Recognizing the need, the Foundation has chosen the purchase of medical equipment for the hospital as its focus.

“Because it is really needed,” Fostveit said. “It is for direct patient care and the patient comes first always.”

Corks & Cuisine is one of three annual benefits put on by the Foundation to raise money for the hospital.

“Through these events, we raise from $60,000 to $175,000 each year for Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital,” Fostveit said.

North Lincoln Health District chair Gordon McLean said the Foundation’s contributions are critical.

“Today, more then ever, hospitals are the target of budget cutters in legislatures and insurance companies,” he said. “The North Lincoln Hospital Foundation is critical in assuring Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital continues to provide access to quality care for residents and visitors to the area.

It’s important to recognize the passion and professional competence Foundation Board members bring to the table to assure they meet each donor’s wishes and get the ‘biggest bang for the buck’ with those donated dollars.”

Fostveit said the Cork & Cuisine benefit depends on the community.

“We want to thank the volunteers, the many community members and business employees for their financial support and for their time,” she said. “We also want to thank our exclusive supporting sponsor Turf Merchants Incorporated and owners Steve and Jerri Tubs.

Formally called the Wine Gala, the benefit has been redesigned over the past few years from a formal sit-down dinner to a more social event.

“It is a new style,” she said. “Now it is a moving event. We still sit down to eat but we now offer guests the opportunity to mingle and taste wines from four different wineries. It is a very social event.”

Cultural Center wall to face long-term fix review JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Officials continue to consider long-term options to repair the exterior panels on the Lincoln City Cultural Center’s southeast corner.

The former Delake School at 540 N.E. Highway 101 is owned by the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency.

On Monday, March 3, the exterior panels on the center’s southeast corner settled and separated more than 4 inches away from the main structure, creating an immediate hazard to the entire south parking lot, according to Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency Director Kurt Olson. After a quick evaluation from Stricker Engineering, which confirmed the danger, crews from Quade Construction removed the unstable wall early Wednesday, March 5.

The consulting engineer, Andrew Stricker of Stricker Engineering, estimated that the 30-foot wall weighed about 16,000 pounds.

“The panels were part of a cladding wall, a protective layer installed to protect and insulate,” Olsen said. “It was made of six panels, concrete aggregate over wire mesh, which were attached to wood supports and then to the original brick wall.”

Olsen said the panels were installed at least 30

City officials are considering long-term repair options for the Lincoln City Cultural Center’s southwest wall after panels on the wall separated in March. The panels have been removed. years ago, when the building was still the Delake Elementary School, probably to stop leaks in the brick on the east side.

“At this time we are considering two directions, removing the tar from the brick, if not we will determine the cost to replace the brick,” Olsen said.

Lincoln City Cultural Center Director Niki Price said there is public miscon-

ception that a structuresupporting wall has come down.

“I have been taking people to the south end of the building, and explaining that the wall was a cladding wall, or an insulating wall, and how it was attached, with the bolts you can still see sticking out of the southwest corner,” she said.

While the area was sealed off as the panels were

taken down, it has been reopened and has not impacted the daily operation of the Center or its programs.

“In fact, we have a new luthier, Richard Freeman, who moved into one of the downstairs studios April 1. The textiles workshop is moving into the old cafeteria space, and the exhaust fan will be installed on the west side exterior sometime this week,” Price said.

The meeting is open to the public; however, the public hearing and record is closed and comment will not be taken.

“We have one item on the agenda,” Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson said.

“We have set this meeting so that we con concentrate on putting more framework around the VRDs.” Anderson said he expects the special meeting will help the Council move forward in determining what VRD regulations are necessary.

“Given a two-hour concentration, this should put things in perspective, but there will be more Council discussion about the VRD regulations after this meeting,” he said.

The Lincoln City City Council began deliberating a set of controversial regulations to deal with the VRDs March 10. At that meeting, the Council agreed to health and safety regulations recommended by the City staff and parking and landscaping regulations recommended by the City’s Consensus Committee.

The VRDs have been the center of debate for several years. Over the past year, the Council and Planning Commission have been reviewing proposed VRD regulations recommended by a Consensus Committee to balance public safety, livability of neighborhoods and economic growth.

For those of us who live on the Oregon Coast or make a living from the sea, the Pacific Ocean seems immense. Everything about it is big. Huge waves crash against coastal headlands, vast distances challenge every search and rescue operation.

Thus, it may come as a bit of a shock to realize that so much of our iconic marine life – whales, sea lions, seabirds, salmon and tuna – depends on something so little as a sardine.

West Coast fishery leaders are about to give these little fish some much-deserved attention.

Scientists and fishermen are increasingly coming to realize that little fish like smelt, sardines, anchovies

and herring are in fact a crucial component of a healthy and productive Pacific marine ecosystem. These and other species of so-called “forage fish” cumulatively form a crucial link in marine food webs. They eat tiny plants and animals drifting near the surface, then form huge “bait balls” of protein that are consumed by everything else above them on the food web – including commercially valuable species of groundfish, salmon and tuna that sustain our coastal fishing economy.

Many forage fish species are also targeted by industrial-scale fisheries, including sardines that famously collapsed in the 1950s and appear to be on a serious cyclical decline once again.

That is not the only reason you may have a tough time finding sardines or anchovies on grocery shelves.

Worldwide, about 90% of forage fish caught are not used for direct human consumption, but are instead reduced to fishmeal or fish oil for purposes such as feeding chicken or farmed fish.

This week, the Pacific Fishery Management Council will gather in Vancouver, Wash. to make important decisions about forage fish species that are not yet being

fished at all. The Council, which includes representatives from Oregon, as well as California, Washington and Idaho (given that oceangoing salmon migrate there), will consider new protections for forage fish like saury, sand lance and various types of smelt that are not yet being fished.

Why bother to protect fish that we are not yet

harvesting? Many of the species in question have been targeted by large-scale fisheries elsewhere in the world, and the Council’s own Ecosystem Workgroup cites the “spectacular growth” of global aquaculture as raising the likelihood for new forage fisheries here on the Pacific coast. The Council would be wise to put some basic conservation measures in place as soon as possible, rather than waiting until nets are already in the water to rein in a new fishery.

By putting in place measures to maintaining an abundance and diversity of forage species along our coast now, the Council will help to maintain the vibrant ocean ecosystem we all care about.

Boat inspection stations are now open and are focusing on highways entering Oregon. Travelers entering the state are asked to look for “Boat Inspection Ahead” signs and be prepared to pull off the highway for inspection.

An inspection takes about 10 minutes if boats are free of aquatic species. If a boat is found to be contaminated with aquatic invaders, it will be cleaned by a mobile decontamination team.

All trailered boats and paddle craft are required to stop for an AIS inspection when stations are open.

In 2009, the Oregon Legislature passed legislation that created a self-supporting aquatic invasive species prevention program. The program is designed to educate boaters about the threat of aquatic invasive species and what boaters can do to prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species that are already in Oregon, like the New Zealand mud snail. Revenue generated by the permit fee is used for inspection/detection, decontamination, law enforcement and education efforts.

Longtime hospital board member Schwartz retires

K

“

For someone who had no background in healthcare, whose self-described learning curve was “a vertical line,” longtime North Lincoln County Hospital Foundation member Esther Schwartz’s contributions to the wellbeing of the local citizenry will be greatly missed.

Schwartz, 76, retired Tuesday following 13 years of devoted service to the Board, her peers in the healthcare community said.

“Esther will leave a big footprint in Lincoln City and the community has benefitted from her passion and her ‘handson’ commitment to make North Lincoln County a healthier place for those who choose to live or visit,” Board Chairman Gordon “Mick” McLean said. “I have valued her as a mentor and believe the whole Board shares Esther’s vision and mission.”

Schwartz’s interest in healthcare came in college, where she typed medical reports for doctors. That interest spread from her birthplace in Cincinnati to California, where her and her 82-year-old husband, Fred, lived for 36 years before the couple settled in the rural Pacific Northwest to be closer to their children.

“I thought, ‘Are we going to have to go into Portland every time we get an earache?,’” she said.

So, in keeping with her intuitive makeup, Schwartz got involved.

She heard about the North Lincoln Health District from neighbors in Gleneden Beach who knew people who had

served or who had served on the Board themselves and started attending meetings to see for herself what condition the local medical situation was in.

“I started going to these meetings, and it was really quite an eye-opener because at that time it was prior to the affiliation with Samaritan Health Services,” she said. “They captured my interest and kind of got to know me because I was a regular and asked a lot of questions.

So, they asked me if I was interested in serving on the Board.”

Schwartz was appointed to a member’s unfilled term and almost immediately became chairman for nine years, longer than anyone has served in that capacity before or since.

“Which is really too long for anybody to be chair,” she said. “But we were going through some difficult negotiations and had some issues where I agreed with the rest of the board that it was not a good time to change in mid-stream, so I agreed to continue to serve.”

Her primary goal since the beginning, she said, has been “to keep the hospital doors open.”

“From the onset of her joining the Board, she has been a leader in all phases of Board activity,” Bob Mass, a Board member since 1996, said. “She has been a strong advocate for

- Esther Schwartz improving health opportunities in the District and has been at the forefront of finding solutions to many of our most difficult problems.”

The Schwartz’s moved to the Lincoln City area on Christmas Day 1998.

It wasn’t long before they met Board members Mary Decker and Ron Usher, who she said “kind of took me under their wings.”

As she departs for retirement in the Portland area, Schwartz said the priority for the hospital is to recognize the community’s need to fit the future and how to best fulfill that need.

“The biggest thing is to gather with the hospital and Samaritan Health Services and decide what the hospital of the future is going to look like because it’s not going to look like this,” she said.

“Healthcare is changing so dramatically we probably don’t need 25 inpatient beds because most of the care that’s provided is outpatient.”

However, maintaining first-rate emergency service is a priority, she said.

“Tourists get injured on the beach, and, unfortunately, we have a lot of drug and alcohol dependency and a lot of mental illness where there’s not a lot of services locally,” she said. “So, we have a lot of people coming though the ER. The ER is always going

Esther Schwartz stands outside Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, which she has devoted nearly 15 years of her life to striving to keep the doors open. to be very significant.”

Schwartz said it is time for the Foundation, the hospital and Samaritan Health Services to determine what services the hospital will provide, and in what form, and whether it will remain at its present site on West Devils Lake Road or move elsewhere.

“Keeping the doors open is the priority and always has been,” she said.

“It hasn’t always been easy. We’ve gone through times when, financially, things were pretty tough for the hospital and we had to modify our lease

agreement accordingly and change out our rent structure with Samaritan, all because we thought it was important to maintain that relationship and enable them to have the kind of bottom line that would help keep our doors open.

“That’s kind of where my focus has always been, whether I was a board member or held an office or not, because in a community such as ours, the hospital is so critical, not only to providing health care, but as an economic engine.”

While parting ways

with the Foundation, Schwartz thanked the many citizens of the county who have made her stay special.

“It’s been an extraordinary experience in terms of the people I have gotten the opportunity to know and work with,” she said.

“The people in this community are just amazing.

They are generous. They are caring, They dig deeper and deeper and deeper to do anything they can when help is needed, and that just feels really, really good.”

Business After Hours April 9 County commissioners to tackle

THE NEWS GUARD

The Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce April Business After Hours will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

Wednesday, April 9, at The Connie Hansen Garden Conservancy, 1931 N.W. 33rd St. in Lincoln City.

The Business After Hours provides networking opportunities to those who wish to attend functions after business hours. Organizers encourage the public to attend as a way to learn what

area businesses have to offer, and it gives Chamber business members and citizens an opportunity to become acquainted.

The Connie Hansen Garden Conservancy is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and will do a short presentation for Business After Hours attendees, in addition to offering garden tours. Refreshments will be provided, including a fruit tray, cookies, and beverages.

Raffle drawings will include plants and T-shirts.

Goodwill From page A1

Willamette, plans to relocate its store in the Lighthouse Shopping Center to across the street from City Hall.

That store opened in 2001 and will be closed, Goodwill spokesperson Dale Emanuel said. She said Goodwill plans to open the new store in September.

The former home of The News Guard was the first structure demolished.

“It was amazing to watch the dexterity with which they can operate that piece of machinery [bulldozer],” Liza Carlson, owner of Salty Dog Hound Lodge, said. ”It’s like watching a surgeon taking a part a body.

He was able to manipulate that thing [bulldozer] around the wires in a way that I would have torn that whole thing down if I would have tried.”

Carlson and co-owner and fiancé Shawnn Kehr will be moving their business to 1345 S.E. 23rd Ave. once construction begins.

“We’re waiting for a lot of different pieces to fall into place,” Carlson said. “They’re not allowed to set a limit at this point because it’s a tenant issue and getting other people out before things can be built.

It’s been quite a process. It’s been a whole year of this drama.”

A purchase agreement was reached between Goodwill and the five owners of the property to move the project forward earlier this year. The Lincoln City Planning Department finished its site plan review March 27. According to the Lincoln County Assessor‘s Office, the land has a market value of $1.28 million.

Emanuel said Goodwill

hopes to employ about 40 people. She said L.C. Pence of Salem would build the thrift store and donation center.

“The purchase involved multiple sellers and multiple parcels of property,” she said.

“Some of the parcels were developed. Goodwill and each property owner negotiated in good faith to determine a purchase price for each parcel.”

She said all landlord/ tenant relationships were between the sellers and their tenants.

According to Goodwill Attorney Bob Barsocchini, the site was the location of a gas station with automotive service and repair between 1962 and 1972.

In a Prospective Purchaser Agreement and Consent Order made between Goodwill and the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), tests showed contamination from underground tanks and the gas pumps. The storage tanks were decommissioned and removed in 1993.

Under the agreement, Barsocchini said Goodwill will be relieved of liability by following a number of conditions to deal with any environmental issues as the property is developed.

The Garden is open from dawn to dusk to the public for free unguided tours. Donations are accepted. The house, with the gallery and gift shop, is open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday and Saturday, March through November.

The house is available to rent for events such as weddings, receptions, memorials, meetings and classes for groups consisting of 40 people or less.

For more information, contact the Chamber of Commerce at 541-994-3070.

“It was interesting to ask him about some of the environmental aspects of what they were doing,” Carlson said. “They were very conscious of any time there would be a little puff of dust, they were on it with a hose keeping that stuff down making sure materials none of us wanted to be breathing in. So, it was good to see how careful they were being:” Emanuel said the early phase of the construction project will consist of abatement and demolition. There are two houses that will be demolished and a manufactured home that will be relocated.

The Dolphin Motel will also be demolished when one remaining resident leaves, she said.

“Sufficient legal notice was provided to all businesses and residents,” Emanuel said. “Some tenants are still in the process of relocating. In certain cases, they have made arrangements with the seller to assist with the move.

Goodwill has provided specific assistance to a number of individuals, including securing new housing, moving furniture, help with paperwork, and other useful activities.”

forest management issues THE NEWS GUARD

County commissioners from Lincoln and Tillamook counties and others across the state will meet Friday, April 4, in Salem to discuss Oregon forest management issues and their impact.

Counties depend on revenue generated from management activities on the forestlands. The revenue is used primarily for local schools and helps fund county government and local taxing districts.

Goals of the combined Forest Trust Land Advisory Committee (FTLAC) and Council of Forestry Trust Land Counties workshop include: -Reviewing the current alternative forest management planning process.

-Developing criteria for acceptable outcomes of an alternative forest management plan.

-Identifying ideas for agreement with the Board of Forestry decision in the fall of 2014.

-Reviewing draft proposals being considered for county revenue distribution.

The FTLAC is a legally mandated committee of county commissioners representing counties that deeded lands to the state. The committee advises the Board of Forestry on matters in which counties may have a responsibility related to forestland managed by Oregon Department of Forestry.

Health insurance deadline extended again Oregonians have until April 30 to apply for private health insurance. The announcement came March 26 from Gov. John Kitzhaber following conversations between Kitzhaber and Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to extend the time to apply past the original March 31 deadline.

Oregon’s extended application period is in response to technology issues that lengthened the time it takes to apply for and enroll in health insurance through Cover Oregon, the state’s health insurance exchange.

“I know that for too many Oregonians, the Cover Oregon website and its ongoing technical problems have created delays, confusion and frustration,” Kitzhaber said. “I worked with Secretary Sebelius to give Oregonians more op-

portunity to secure health care coverage and get the financial help they deserve.”

Under HHS guidelines, each state may have its own approach to managing extended application periods.

Oregon’s extended application period is targeted to people purchasing private health insurance coverage either through Cover Oregon or directly from an insurance carrier. People who purchase through Cover Oregon can access tax credits and other financial assistance. Oregonians who

are eligible for the Oregon Health Plan or Healthy Kids can apply for coverage yearround.

Cover Oregon has completed more than 175,000 enrollments for Oregonians.

“I want to make sure that people know they can still apply. They have time to do so, for themselves and their families, and they should take advantage right away,” Kitzhaber said.

Oregonians have until April 30 to submit their application for private coverage.

Florence held many different types of jobs but she loved to volunteer and help other people when needed. In 1968, she and Eddie moved to Lincoln City, where she worked for the city police department as a dispatcher and became very involved with St. James Episcopal Church community meal program. She also volunteered her time at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital and helped out with many Red Cross blood drives.

Florence is survived by her son Eldon and wife Cheresse; daughter Robyn; grandson Eric and wife Jamie; two wonderful greatgranddaughters, Mackenna and Adelynn, and many other nieces and nephews.

A Celebration of Life Ceremony to honor her passing will be held in Lincoln City at St. James Episcopal Church, 2490 U.S. 101, on Sunday, April 13 at 1 p.m. In lieu of flowers we ask that you consider making a donation to St. James Santiago Episcopal Church – Community Meal Program in the memory of Florence Howard.

The deadline for Oregonians to apply for private health insurance has been extended to April 30.

Oregonians can find an agent or community partner in their area who can help them enroll in one sitting by visiting CoverOregon.com.

They can also go to CoverOregon.com to find resources to apply, including an online PDF application they can submit electronically.

Those who apply for coverage from a private plan through Cover Oregon before April 30 and then

later enroll will not be subject to a potential federal tax penalty. People who apply and enroll in plans outside of Cover Oregon between April 1 and April 30 might have to pay a partial federal penalty.

The Oregon Insurance Division will provide more information about how penalties might apply to individuals who do not apply for coverage through Cover Oregon.

The Governor also announced an agreement between Cover Oregon and participating insurance companies that will help small businesses access federal tax credits. Qualified small businesses that purchase a Cover Oregoncertified plan after April 1 directly from an insurance company will be able to access tax credits for 2014.

For the small business tax credit, Cover Oregon will provide an eligibility

notice to Oregon employers that qualify to participate.

Eligible businesses must have 50 or fewer full-time equivalent employees; purchase a “qualified health plan” certified by Cover Oregon; and contribute at least 50 percent of the premium cost for employee coverage.

With confirmed eligibility, employers can apply for the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit when filing their 2014 taxes. The Internal Revenue Service, not Cover Oregon, determines eligibility for the tax credit.

Newport drug bust nets two arrests, thousands in cash THE NEWS GUARD

Two Newport residents face charges after being arrested March 25 when Lincoln Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT) detectives served search warrants at two locations and seized a large quantity of heroin Giang Hoang Le and methamphetamine, firearms and a large amount of currency.

Detectives, assisted by Newport Police Department and Oregon State Police served a search warrant in the 400 block of S.W. 7th Street in Newport.

A search of a residence led to the seizure of evidence related to the delivery and possession of heroin, along with a firearm and a large amount of currency.

An occupant of the residence, Giang Hoang Le, 36, was not there, but officers learned he was staying at another residence in the same complex.

stone and siltstone mixed with lava flows, heavy rainfall and frequent strong shaking from subduction zone earthquakes make all of the Oregon Coast Range highly susceptible to landslides.

“Everyone should be aware of the risk of rapidly moving landslides or debris flows during periods of extended heavy rains,” he said.

“The hazard is concentrated in narrow valley bottoms and at the mouths of small canyons and streams. There are also many large, long-lived landslides that move periodically, and much more slowly, and which mostly pose a danger to property.

Madin said the key to managing the risk these conditions pose is to identify them and then to either avoid developing them, or if already developed, avoid disturbances like changing drainage or excavating.

Madin said there are warning signals residents living along the Oregon Coast should watch for.

“For rapidly moving landslides, periods of very intense

rainfall, particularly after an extended wet period should be a reason to be on guard if you live in a vulnerable area,” he said. “Ground shaking or rumbling, or rapid changes in water levels in local creeks are also indicators of imminent debris flows.”

For deep seated, slower moving landslides, Madin said ground cracks, or cracks in pavement or foundations, doors that won’t close, springs that appear or dry up are all indicators of improvement.

But Madin cautions its not just residents that should be mindful of the landside warnings.

“Drivers on Highway 101 and routes over the Coast Range should always drive with extreme caution during periods of intense rainfall, particularly after an extended wet period,” he said.

A landslide Feb. 4 that blocked Slick Rock Creek Road about a quarter-mile east of Highway 18 at Rose Lodge illustrated the danger for motorists.

Huge boulders and dirt blocked the road following the landslide.

“This is typical for this

On March 26 a mudslide closed Highway 6 east of Tillamook.

People, structures and roads located below steep slopes in canyons and near the mouths of canyons might be at serious risk following heavy rainstorms.

According to Madin, the most dangerous places include: - Canyon bottoms, stream channels, and areas of rock and soil accumulation at the outlets of canyons; - Bases of steep hillsides; - Road cuts or other areas where slopes of hills have been excavated or over-steepened; - Places where slides or debris flows have occurred in the past.

The horse reared up and started to fall when she fell into the water and was pinned underneath the horse, according to witnesses and information from Oregon State Police.

“Witnesses told us that the horse got spooked and fell sideways onto its rider,” Lincoln City Police Sgt. Jeffery Winn said. “People on the scene were able to get the horse up and pulled the girl out of the surf.

She was unconscious and not breathing. Someone began performing CPR on the girl.”

According to authorities, one of the victim’s friends, Erin Rush, 15, saw the incident, quickly got off her horse, ran

to the injured girl and dragged her from the surf. Rush started first aid until Rush’s mother got to the scene and rolled the girl on her side, administering back blows. The victim then started coughing up water and began breathing on her own.

As police and medical responders arrived, they administered aid to the girl and she was transported by Pac West Ambulance to Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. She was later transferred to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center in Portland for further treatment.

Governor & Portland Mayor Welcome New VRD Industry Jobs Mayor Anderson Declares That VRDs Are Businesses — Council To Pass More Restrictions at April 7th Meeting AirBnB Brings New VRD Jobs to Portland

In a move that contrasts sharply with actions of our mayor and local city officials, Portland’s Mayor Hale and Governor Kitzhaber announced recently that AirBnB will open its North American Operations Center in Portland this summer.

The Lincoln City Council will Consider New Restrictions on VRDs at a Workshop Monday, April 7th, 3 pm, Lincoln City Hall Open to the Public. Final decisions about New VRD Restrictions will probably be made at this meeting.

Public Comment May Be Allowed. Come and See What City Officials Plan for Your Community.

AirBnB lists 34,000 rentals in 192 countries, and is one of top four international VRD listing businesses based in the US. Portland had been courting AirBnB since October of 2012.

No tax incentives were required, and the move was seen as a win/win opportunity for the city.

Portland also just re-issued its VRD laws to make it clear that VRD activities are welcome in the city.

In an interview with Fortune magazine, AirBnB founder Brian Chesky said “We want to enrich the cities and neighborhoods we serve. I hope this shows what is possible.”

New Restrictions for Lincoln City VRDs At its meeting on March 10th Mayor Anderson and his City Council met to begin finalizing new city ordinances that will shape the role of VRDs and the future of Lincoln City tourism for many years.

The mayor reviewed the history of disputes about VRDs that have flowered throughout his term, and pointed to his effort to outsource the problem by bringing in a $50K consultant. The consultant was to form a “Consensus Group” of local citizens that would discuss VRD issues.

City officials asked the consultant and the group to “develop a regulatory program with wide support in the community” and “present a recommended regulatory approach to the City Council … that city staff can successfully implement.”

When the Consensus Group presented a 72 page report with 20 specific recommendations on how the city can benefit most from local VRD activities, city officials ignored many of the key recommendations.

Among those recommendations: 1) 2) 3)

VRD ordinances should be “simple & fair” and “do no harm” — instead the city drafted 35 pages of new restrictions on VRDs for consideration.

VRDs should be allowed to operate freely — instead, “Accessory use” rules were drafted featuring severe restrictions on how often a home could be rented.

People should be allowed to own more than one VRD at a time — this clause does not appear in any city draft.

In the March 10th council meeting the mayor declared that the Consensus Group “finally decided that we are talking about a business” when regulating VRDs. In fact, no such decision or statement had been made by the Consensus Group.

A draft ordinance, based on the group’s report, was also offered by the Consensus Group, and has so far been completely ignored by city officials. In response to public concern that so many recommendations of the Consensus Group were being ignored, and restrictions completely inconsistent Consensus Group proposals were being added, the mayor said “I don’t recall this council giving up our authority to make decisions.”

In two previous City Council meetings, hours of testimony by local citizens showed near unanimous support for following through on the recommendations of the Consensus Group. This testimony is also being largely ignored.

The group’s final report states: “residents and many local business people … believe the best interests of the City are served by continuing to provide a welcoming environment for VRDs.”

The city’s strategy appears to be to break the approval of new restrictions into several steps, and possibly pass a number of separate ordinances, rather than placing all regulations into one ordinance.

On March 10th, the council decided to handle the easy and less controversial items first. Occupancy restrictions, new parking rules, signage rules, trash management and landscaping rules were discussed and approved. Safety rules that have not been needed in the past were added.

Controversial matters such as adding zones where VRDs are not allowed in the city and restricting the number of nights that tourists are allowed to stay in VRDs have been delayed to the April 7th meeting.

Taft High’s Raines puts sports in past, ends senior year as college sophomore JIM FOSSUM jfossum@countrymedia.net

A

s the Taft High girls golf team strolled to the tee recently for its season-opening competition, thoughts filled Samantha Raines’ head.

So much so that she found herself in a quandary following the match. After thinking long and hard about it, Raines decided the best thing to do was quit golf.

Is this really the place a college sophomore should be, the 17-year-old high school senior asked?

Thanks to abundant self-motivation and an inexplicable ability to overcome serious illness, Raines has excelled in and out of the classroom. With participation in Oregon Coast Community College’s Expanded Options Program, she’s a second-year collegian academically while maintaining her high school eligibility in sports.

However, common sense and an overwhelming workload told her the time had arrived to put playing games in the past. She decided studying and pursuing a career as a chiropractor must take precedence.

So, Raines turned the page on the latest chapter in her book.

“This year, I had the idea that I would be able to play golf and be a good player,” she said. “But things changed as my senior year developed.”

Taft golf coach Heather Hatton practically saw it coming.

“It’s a delicate situation when an athlete makes a tough decision to quit a sport,” she said. “All student-athletes have to take on the challenge to balance sports, academics, work and family commitments. For Sam, golf wasn’t a priority. I think it was a wise decision on her part to focus on the parts of her life that are important to her – academics, family and work.”

While the epilogue to Raines’ life in high school won’t include a senior year playing golf, memories of participating in sports will persist.

She played volleyball for a couple of seasons and was in the sailing club, too, as an underclassman. But a diagnosis of the anti-immune disease lupus put the brakes on extracurricular activities.

Enter golf, a low-impact sport that seemed entirely to her liking.

“I immediately loved the game and put my all into it,” she said.

With golf no longer an option, Raines said she has been propelled by self-motivation and a dose of inspiration from her parents.

“Through all of my health issues and barriers preventing me from exceeding, I still have found ways to rise above and accomplish the things I wish to accomplish,” she said. “A lot of the times, I rely on internal drive to help me get through things, but when that fails, I look to my parents for guidance.”

“Samantha has been self-motivated from the beginning,” her mother, Hannah, and father, Michael, said. “Sure, we gave her parental encouragement and incentive, but her passion to learn and do well in whatever she has put her mind to has been the key to her success.”

Raines, who also is active in the nondenominational Christian ministry Young Life, plans to major in biology or pre-physical therapy at Oregon State. She then hopes to attend the University of Western States, a chiropractic school in Portland.

“It’s not easy maintaining a 4.0 at the college, being in high school, working part-time and being a youth ministry leader,” she said.

But that’s a good thing.

Think about it.

Raines has.

“

T

hrough all of my health issues and barriers preventing me from exceeding, I still have found ways to rise above and accomplish the things I wish to accomplish. A lot of the times, I rely on internal drive to help me get through things. But when that fails, I look to my parents for guidance.”

Tigers stay unbeaten as league awaits Taft suffers first loss, but rolls on JIM FOSSUM jfossum@countrymedia.net

JIM FOSSUM jfossum@countrymedia.net

With the conference opener just days away, Taft High baseball coach Dusty Hankins appears to only have some tinkering to do to get his team ready for the games that matter.

The Tigers, off to an undefeated start this season at 5-0-1, are scheduled to play nonconference games Tuesday at home against Yamhill Carlton (past deadline) Wednesday at Warrenton and Thursday at Siuslaw before meeting Stayton on Tuesday, April 8, in the Oregon West Conference opener.

“Everything is going according to plan so far,” Hankins said. “If we stay on this path, it should be a good season.”

Hankins knows better than most that that’s a big “if.” His team is young and inexperienced. It’s also fearless, if the first six games of the season are any indication.

Taft stayed unbeaten with a 7-2 comeback home victory Wednesday over Marshfield.

Cade Knott had three hits and Seth Steere, Randy Herndon and Pete Lahti two each for Taft.

Marshfield scored a run in the first off Steere and another in the second off Alroy Zacarias, who earned the win after the Tigers erupted for four runs in the third, another in the fifth and two in the sixth. Joe Salsbery and Herndon mopped up with four shutout innings.

“The way we’re hitting the ball is great,” Hankins said. “The guys are seeing the ball well and really buying into what we’re trying to do. The results are being seen on the field.”

Senior captains Henry Lahti and Steere have wielded the biggest bats, Hankins said.

Taft also got a shot in the arm when Hern-

Three games in two days proved too much Saturday for the Taft High softball team, which lost for the first time this season, 13-3, to tournament host McLoughlin.

“The score speaks for itself,” said Taft coach Dave Broderick, who had run out of varsity pitchers in the tournament’s opening games. “Three games in a day on the road proved too much for us, so we let non-starters get some innings in.”

Kelsey Wilkinson was the batting star for the Tigers with two hits, including a double that bounced off the top of the center field fence. Hannah Ray and Sierra Picard singled and BillyAnn Stempel doubled for Taft, which meets Estacada at home Friday in its final tune-up for league play Tuesday, April 8, at home against Stayton.

With senior Emily Broderick and junior Katie McCardell having limited innings, Taft turned to junior varsity pitcher Audra Zook in the final game against McLoushlin.

Before that, McCardell went seven innings in the opener and threw in steady rain on a mud-soaked field, striking out six and walking five.

“I know from doing this for so many years that pitching in the rain is unbelievably difficult, but Katie hung in there,” Broderick said.

Taft scored three runs in the third and four in the fourth after falling behind 1-0 in the first. Wilkinson hit her first varsity home run with a drive over the center field fence and finished 3-for-4 with two singles.

Stempel, Picard and senior outfielder Taylor Adams also reached for the Tigers.

JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD

Taft’s Joe Salsbery scores a run last week in the Tigers’ nonleague victory over Marshfield. don emerged from a sore back to solidify his place in the starting rotation behind Steere, the team’s workhorse.

Combined with the presence of junior middle reliever Salsbery and closing roles for Zacarias, Grant Prins and Charlie Zeller, Taft has found enough arms to feel comfortable entering league play.

“We have a lot of guys who can eat up some innings,” Hankins said.

While the pitching has been sound, the Tigers’ base running has been even better.

“We make up for a lot of inexperience with our athleticism,” Hankins said. He said much of the credit should go to the seniors.

“They’re really dialed in,” he said.

“They’re passionate and stepping up and taking the lead. We’re really jelling and becoming a family.”

JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD

Taft’s Hannah Ray slides across the plate for a run last week in a win over Marshfield.

Wilkinson flashed her glove in the next game, a 4-1 win over Scappoose.

“She put on a fly ball-catching clinic,” Broderick said. “Kelsey showed her speed and the reason she anchors the outfield.”

Wilkinson, Adams, Stempel, Picard, Charli Haft, Emily Broderick and senior catcher Keitra Mason all contributed to the offense behind McCardell.

Emily Broderick shut down the La Grande Tigers in the next game, a 2-0 onehit, shutout win, which came on a single in the bottom of the seventh.

Wilkinson, Stempel, Adams, Ray, Picard and Mason contributed hits for the Tigers, while Wilkinson and Ray scored the team’s runs.

Taft defeated Marshfield 13-3 at home behind McCardell on Wednesday, March 26, when Wilkinson, Picard, Ray, Mason, Broderick, Stempel and McCardell all figured into the offense.

Celebration of Life held for 3-year old ‘firefighter’ THE NEWS GUARD

A Celebration of Life was held March 30 at Taft High 7-12 for Daniel Vincent Christiansen, the 3-year-old Otis boy who lost his battle with cancer March 6. About 250 people attended the memorial.

Daniel became an honorary firefighter in stations worldwide after firefighters learned of his battle.

He was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2012.

As part of the memorial service, fire districts from across the nation sent memorabilia to the memorial service and several fire trucks lined the street

leading to the high school to honor Daniel.

“We feel and believe that Daniel is not alone in the young spirits across the world that have the dream of being a firefighter, or just wanting to ride in a big, loud, red fire truck, and we believe that Daniel should not be alone in this quest,” reads a Facebook post from Team Daniel. “So we are going to work with other terminally ill children with the same dreams.”

Donations can be made at any U.S. Bank to the Firefighter Daniel Memorial Fund.

Saltwater taffy: A Lincoln City tradition “ T

The last remaining candy shop that produces its own handmade taffy in Lincoln City is keeping the tradition alive.

Read’s Homemade Candies has been at its current location at 1009 S.W. Highway 101 since 1961. You can’t miss the white building with red stripes.

in 1970 he purchased the store,” manager Mark Read said.

Lincoln City was once the home of several taffy-making stores, but now, Read said his family store is the only one in town that makes its own taffy.

Read said it’s easier and less expensive for other shops to purchase the taffy from other locations.

“It is not an easy job,” said Read. “It is hard. It takes a lot of time and effort to make this stuff.

Everything is made by hand. We don’t have any mixes. It’s all made

Even the machines used to produce the taffy are the ones that have been used by the Read family

for decades. Some of the older machines are on display in a front counter.

Read proudly shows off a book

that customers sign. He said the book is a significant gauge of the shop’s success.

“There are people who have been coming here for generations,” he said. “That’s nice. We have that. A lot of other places are trying to get that edge.”

Read said people come to his store specifically for the saltwater taffy.

Laughter to shine down on lighthouses JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses will use comedy to help raise funds for preservation and upkeep of the Yaquina Head Lighthouse and the Yaquina Bay Lighthouse in Newport.

The group will host Laughs for Lighthouses, a comedy show and carnival, at 5 p.m. Saturday, April 5, at the Newport Performing Arts Center.

Tickets are $20. One child gets in free with an adult; additional children are $5 each. Tickets are available at the Performing Arts Center box office, by calling 541-265-ARTS, or online at www. coastarts.org.

Friends of Yaquina Lighthouses Executive Director Lauren Craven said both lighthouses require routine maintenance every year, such as basic cleaning, interior painting,

mold/mildew treatment and minor repairs.

“The larger items of maintaining a lighthouse come with the critical structural integrity issues involving conditions of the brick column, proper drainage and gutters, exterior metal work, lens preservation and iron staircase stability,” she said. “The maintenance, preservation and restoring issues can cost well over $100,000 and are often hard to keep up with as government budgets decrease and issues go overlooked or unfunded.”

Civic Meetings Calendar

Tastes better the second day

Lincoln City City Council meets at 6 p.m., the second and fourth Monday each month at the Lincoln City City Hall 801 S. Highway 101 3rd floor.

541-996-1203.

A former wine steward at Salishan Lodge, retired after 40 years in the hospitality, food and beverage industry, describes one of his many hilarious stories as not so much a kitchen calamity, but more of a hospitality horror.

Years ago, a friend of his was conducting a wine seminar at the Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco. He was rigged with a wireless mike hooked into a PA system to address the 200 participants.

When it came time for a break, the friend headed for the nearest men’s room, neglecting to turn off his microphone. The milling hotel guests were astonished – and then amused – by the unwitting broadcast of raunchy bathroom talk and stereophonic plumbing noises. More wine, please.

Depoe Bay City Council meets at 7 p.m., the first and third Tuesday each month at 570 S.E. Shell Ave. 541-765-2361.

The Newport City Council meets on the first and third Monday of the month at 6 p.m. at 169 S.W. Coast Highway. 541574-0603.

STUFFED CABBAGE ROLLS WITH CRANBERRIES

The Waldport City Council meets on the second Thursday of each month at 2 p.m. at 125 Alsea Highway. 541-2647417.

1 16-ounce can cranberry jelly 1 16-ounce can tomato sauce 1 1/2 cups water 1/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup fresh cranberries 1/2 cup raisins 1 cooking apple, peeled, cored and diced Juice of 1 lemon 1 medium head of cabbage 2 pounds ground beef 1/2 cup uncooked rice Salt and freshly ground black pepper 1 large egg 1 medium-sized onion, grated 4 tablespoons ketchup

Mix the cranberry jelly, tomato sauce, 1 cup of water, lemon and brown sugar in a saucepan.

Bring to a slow boil; then add the raisins, fresh cranberries and apple. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.

Core the cabbage and place in a large pot with water to cover. Bring to a boil and then simmer, covered, for about 10 minutes until soft. Cool with cold water; drain.

In a large bowl, mix the beef, rice, salt and pepper to taste, egg, onion, 1/2 cup water and ketchup. Blend all until thoroughly mixed.

Trim outer ribs off the cabbage. Line a large baking dish with outside leaves. Separate inside leaves and arrange on a breadboard, outside down. Fill with heaping tablespoons of the filling.

Fold up leaves to enclose the filling - top, bottom, two sides - then place seam side down in the lined baking dish.

After the stuffed cabbage leaves are arranged, pour the sauce over and simmer, covered, for 2 hours. Pre-heat oven to 300 degrees F. After simmering, place the dish in the oven and bake, uncovered, for another 1/2 hour. Serves 6-8. This is one of those dishes that taste better the second day, and it also freezes well.

BANANA BERRY PIE

1/2 cup pecan nut halves 12 ounces all-purpose flour, sifted 1 teaspoon baking powder 7 ounces chilled butter, cubed Extra butter for greasing 4 ripe bananas 4 1/2 ounces raspberries, fresh or frozen 4 tablespoons currants, fresh or dried, or raisins 3 tablespoons light brown sugar Grind the nuts into a fine texture. Place 1 tablespoon of the ground nuts into a medium-size mixing bowl, along with all the flour and baking powder. Rub in the butter with fingertips until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs.

Set aside 1/4 of the mixture for topping. Add 4-5 tablespoons of cold water to the remaining mixture and mix to a firm dough consistency.

Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In the meantime, preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Liberally grease an 8-inch spring-form tin.

When cooled, roll out the pastry dough onto a lightly floured surface, then use it to line the tin.

Cover with foil and bake until golden.

Slice bananas into a bowl. Stir in half the sugar, then mix in the berries. Pour into the pastry shell.

Mix the reserved flour mixture with the rest of the sugar and ground pecans. Sprinkle over the fruit for a crumble crust.

Bake for 15 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 15-20 minutes, until the top is golden. Cool partially before serving, preferably with ice cream.

Serves 4.

here, that is one of the things they associate with the Coast. I don’t think saltwater taffy would do well in Salem or other cities in the Valley. It is just part of the Oregon Coast and what people want.”

Read said he produces 18 types of taffy.

“The favorites are orange, peanut butter, cinnamon, raspberry, peppermint and licorice, “ he said.

You might be surprised to learn that the taffy does not contain seawater or salt. The main ingredients include corn syrup, sugar and flavoring.

The mixture is cooked and placed on a counter to rest, than placed on a taffy puller to add air to make it light and fluffy. The finished product is than hand-cut and sent through a wrapping machine.

Each batch that Read makes produces about 2,600 pieces of taffy.

“That’s half of what my

dad used to make because, as he got older, it became harder for him to lift the kettles, so he cut the batch in half,” Read said.

The work involves lifting and pouring of heavy kettles and a lot of standing. Read calls the process a labor of love.

“You are constantly bending over and there is a lot of standing,” he said.

“There is no sitting because you have a rotation of things being cooked.

Each batch takes about an hour to make and I usually make multiple batches during my shifts.”

Read said he makes as many as 10 batches of taffy a day during the spring and summer tourist season. He sells the taffy for $7.80 a pound.

“The biggest change over the years for us has been the increase in the raw products we need to make the taffy,” Read said.

“That drives up our costs.”

Even with the increase costs and the physical work needed to make the

Craven said she hopes the event will raise $12,000.

Friends of Yaquina Head Lighthouses is funding a $24,000 restoration and maintenance plan to supply a “blueprint” of what the current condition is and what needs to be done periodically to keep the lighthouses in good condition.

Through the plan, the group hopes to write detailed and successful grants for funding and to better authentically preserve the lighthouse and maintain its National Register of Historic Buildings designation.

“If we do not maintain and preserve the lighthouses, then they will eventually deteriorate to the point of no return,” Craven said. “This means the buildings will be closed to the public, as many lighthouses are, and even worse, they will someday crumble and irreplaceable pieces of history will be lost.”

Craven calls lighthouses icons of coastal history and culture, in addition to being tourism attractions.

“Not only do they provide a boost to local economies and picturesque landscapes, but they enrich the lives of the community residents,” she said. “It’s not just enough to maintain the lighthouses as buildings. We continually try to maintain their connections with the visitors and develop emotional connections and values of stewardship in the next generation. In order to make sure the buildings remain intact for future generations, we must pass on the history and the values to them so they have the same compelling reason to protect these priceless places.”

tomers that count on us. It is something that we like to do.”

Read employs four others, including Jeannie Danielson.

“I started when my daughter was in school and she is now 37, so I have been employed here for a long time,” she said.

Part of the draw for Danielson is the chocolate candy.

“I like chocolate,” she said. “But this is a fun job and I enjoy the customers. We’re like family. I’ve watched many of our customer’s kids grow up. I know each of them by face and I know what they like.”

Read said he is hopeful his four children will want to continue the business.

“That’s still up in the air,” he said. “They aren’t quite old enough to make that decision, so we’ll see.”

Nuka isn’t ready to be exhibited in public, but visitors can see him on the Aquarium’s in-house video system in the lobby.

“We hope to gradually introduce him to the three other sea otters here at the Aquarium,” Paxton said.

“He is progressing well and we think he could be on public exhibit sometime this month.”

Nuka is being trained to gently accept food from his trainer and is learning to go into and out of the water on cue. Paxton said the pup is also learning to stay at a designated spot.

“The most important behavior he is learning is called ‘target,’ and that’s where he will hold his paws and nose at a designated point for an extended period of time,” she said.

“It is a way for trainers to
