The blooms have triggered public concern and threatened the lakes busy recreational season and the local economy.

“The blooms have crashed,” Devils Lake Water Improvement District (DLWID) Lake Manager Paul Robertson said.

The blooms dissipated over the past two weeks after being infected with a bacterial virus, according to Joe Eilers, a

his isn’t like happy days are here again. This is part of a slow rise. We are not going gangbusters.

Oregon businesses reported 10,000 more job vacancies early in 2014 than the previous year.

Businesses had approximately 32,700 job vacancies in the winter months of 2014, according to a Job Vacancy Survey recently completed by the Oregon Employment Department.

Not only did employers report having more openings, they also reported more difficulty finding the workers they need, and they are offering higher average wages, possibly to attract more applicants.

All of this means additional, and perhaps betterpaid, opportunities for job seekers in Oregon, department officials said.

New donation center opens THE NEWS GUARD

A common donation center opened this month in South Beach. The center will focus on household items and furniture for people moving out of transitional housing, seasonal workers and others getting their first toe-hold in permanent housing.

Organizers said collaboration with community partners should make it more efficient to collect and distribute goods, while avoiding duplication of efforts.

The initial collection of furniture, mattresses and other household goods comes from resources collected by Shangri-La, which is paying the first six months’ rent and providing initial administration.

Transportation is needed to assist with the pickup and distribution of materials, but gas cards will be

available to offset volunteer drivers’ costs.

Volunteers will be needed to help run the donation center.

“We will need multiple volunteers to receive donations, disperse donations, and help with item delivery,” Shangri-La’s Jeanne Bower said.

Volunteers need to be a minimum of 18 years old, or 16 with an adult. For details about positions and shift hours, contact Ashley Erb at volunteer@shangrilacorp. org.

A dozen entities are engaged in the project, including United Way, Shangri-La, Progressive Options, Samaritan House, Community Service Consortium, Lincoln County HELP Center, Warming Shelter, Inter-Christian Outreach, Food Share of Lincoln County, Salvation Army, Family Promise, Resource (Benton Furniture Share) and Pick of the Litter Thrift Store.

Council, planning commission to review transportation plan update

Sheridan Jones Weather Details

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A city gas tax, utility tax, increased transient room tax and developer improvement fees are among the alternative funding proposed to help pay millions of dollars in transportation improvements recommended for Lincoln City. City officials stress that no decisions have been made about the funding sources.

The funding options and recommendations come from the Portland-based planning and engineering firm DKS Associates.

“They have presented us with a long laundry list of project improvements that include enhancing transit with a trolley system, adding bicycle lanes and extending access to new areas of the city to improve connectivity,” Lincoln City Senior Planner Debra Martzahn said. “The list itself could cost hundreds of millions of dollars.”

“But we will narrow that list down to what could best fit and be affordable for the City,” Lincoln City Engineer Stephanie Reid said. “We aren’t going to do pie-inthe-sky projects. We want to make this plan as feasible as possible so drivers aren’t frustrated with congestion and pedestrians can get back and fourth easily and safely.”

Members of the Lincoln City City Council and the Lincoln City Planning Commission will hold a joint workshop at 6 p.m. Tuesday, April 29, at chambers to review progress on the city’s updated Transportation System Plan (TSP).

Consultants and staff will present the results of 16 months of study, public input, and development of alternatives that set the stage for preparation of a draft transportation master plan at the 90-minute workshop.

The focus of the meeting will be to address the city’s transportation needs for the

FROM THE PUBLISHER Frank Perea II

Immediate action with a longrange plan needs to be hammered out, as Devils Lake is a vital part of the economic fabric of Lincoln City and a legacy to our children.

The community, along with the Devils Lake Water Improvement District (DLWID), need to work and trust each other or nothing will get done.

We have experienced and reported on many needed projects over the years, but none so recently with such a resounding passion as the health condition of Devils Lake.

We salute the DLWID for holding a special public interactive workshop on Saturday, April 19. Ideas from the workshop need to be vetted and the most viable need to be embraced as our community implements a short- and long- term strategy.

We trust those residents who have said Devils Lake is dead have lived here a long time and haven’t experienced the joy or lack thereof when nothing gets done. We are encouraged by the countless responses from concerned citizens who have showed up at public forums, voiced their opinion and offered a willingness to help find a successful solution.

It is our hope that such energy will be contagious among area elected officials, business leaders, residents and the DLWID board.

Lincoln City is truly unique and wonderful to have such a tremendous natural asset right here in our backyard.

Now is the time to come together and get things done. Let’s find a workable solution that is best for the overall health of Devils Lake, our economic growth and the good of all our citizens. Our children deserve it.

most of the work be done at night,” Nonni Augustine, executive director of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce, said. “So, when it isn’t, like last week, it’s a concern for businesses that are there.

They’re aware it’s going to be a two-year affair and we’re going to have to deal with it one way or another. We’re hoping construction will take place in the middle of the night, not peak hours.”

The improvements will include building a 200-foot long retaining wall along the west side of Highway 101; adding a three-lane section to the highway with a middle turn lane between 23rd and 32nd Streets; realignment of two legs of 32nd Street in a signalized intersection; construction of curbs, sidewalks, drainage, landscaping, and two large culverts to improve fish passage.

Already, the development is hurting some businesses, owners said.

“I didn’t have a customer for the first six hours, “Greg Fidel, owner of Nelscott Antiques House, said following the backup. “Once the traffic is stopped, no one wants to get off the road and the intersection is blocked, so no one can get in. Whether it’s going to happen again, it’s hard to say.

All I can do is keep my doors open.”

Scott Humpert, public relations coordinator for the Lincoln City Visitor and Convention Bureau, said he had not heard of any specific complains from business owners, but anticipated some response down the line as summer ap-

do what they are supposed to do. We are not ready for that yet.”

Looking to the young, the Council also appointed Kyle Carver, 11, to the Depoe Bay Salmon Enhancement Commission.

“She would be our youngest member, but she has participated ever since she was really young,” Commission Vice Chair Pogo Robison said. “She is really pretty dedicated, and she knows how to feed fish, sort eggs and clip fins, so it was a natural to select her. She is an all-around good child.”

Robison said having Kylie as a member also fulfills part of the commission’s mission of recruiting and involving young people.

“It is a great learning experience and she gets credit for school as a commission member,” he said.

Kylie joins her father, Paul, on the seven-member commission that was established in 1988.

The commission maintains a nonprofit salmon hatchery program that is self-supporting through contributions and donations.

“We are in it to keep the salmon resource going,” Robison said. “Every one of those salmon generates a lot of money. People come here to fish. They bring their families. They shop at our businesses, eat at our restaurants and stay at our lodging establishments. Each salmon is worth about $80 to the local economy and that money stays in the economy, benefiting everybody.”

heightened public concerns about the intense and widespread algae booms.

Noel Walker, operator of Blue Heron Boat Rentals, had indicated he might not be open for the season due to the algae blooms.

“I was going to wait until my insurance rolled over next month and evaluate the situation,” he said. “But the lake has changed drastically in the past several days. I can see the bottom from my dock and that is a good sign.

I plan to be open through the season if the water doesn’t turn for the worst.”

Roger Harnack, coordinator of the Devils Lake Dash jet ski racing event May 10-11, said he is also encouraged to see the blooms gone.

“We did have some concerns a few weeks ago,” he said. “But right now the Dash is on and the lake looks good.”

Harnack estimated that the Dash would bring in about $50,000 to the local economy.

Lincoln City Visitors & Convention Bureau Director Sandy Pfaff said Devils Lake is a key economic visitor draw for Lincoln City.

“We do promote the lake, and the blooms were not something that I was happy to see in the press,” she said.

“But, fortunately, right now the lake is not a big draw. I will keep my fingers crossed that the algae will not return during the busy recreational season this summer.”

Oregon State Parks Manager Ben Cox said visitors to the park at Devils Lake have been asking about the algae blooms.

“We have had people ask-

proaches.

“We always hear some whispering about traffic in Lincoln City headed south to Newport, but I haven’t heard anything really specific about this construction project.

As far as we know, it’s been reasonably managed. It’s supposed to be pretty minimal besides at night.”

“All I can do is keep my doors open and hope people come in,” Fidel said. “But it’s a loss of business. You can’t lose that kind of money in a short order of time. It’s difficult for small businesses that can’t afford those kind of losses.”

To minimize the traffic disruptions during the day, lanes are to be closed between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m., although setbacks such as Wednesday’s issue with a water pipe relocation will occur, officials said.

The City’s utility relocation work, estimated at $1.12 million, will occur only on Highway 101, but might impact water service to properties on neighboring streets.

“We appreciate the public’s patience,” ODOT Project Manager Ray Cranston said.

ODOT cautions motorists to watch for trucks and work vehicles and crews along the roadway coming onto and off of Highway 101. ODOT is deploying special signage to help customers get to and from the businesses in the construction zone.

Business operators, residents and others can learn more about the project on the ODOT web site at: http:// www.oregon.gov/ODOT/ HWY/REGION2/pages/ lincolncity_home.aspx and by subscribing for an ODOT E-Letter.

would involve would be prohibitive.

He said all the solutions discussed at the workshop are designed to bind phosphorus that feeds the algae blooms.

Although several people at the workshop demanded the lake level be lowered, claiming the algae and shore erosion was triggered by the board’s decision last year to raise the level of the lake, Green said there was no evidence the level caused the blooms, and lowering the lake was important to its overall health.

“We tried to reach a compromise with that decision,” he said.

The board will likely consider the short- and long-term solutions and the costs of those solutions at its meeting in May. Green said the board would continue with its plan of shoreline restoration and working with the City of Lincoln City to sewer the lake.

“For the short term, it looks like aeration at the lake bottom is probably the frontrunner because all you are doing is introducing oxygen and you are energizing good bacteria that will eat the sediment,” he said. “Over the years, that will cause substantial sediment reduction and deepening of the lake.”

Green said the board would also likely launch a year-round monitoring system for phosphorus, nitrogen and nutrients.

He said establishing a pilot aeration system and monitoring were the most concrete suggestions that emerged from the workshop.

Green said the workshop was videotaped and would be available for public viewing on the City of Lincoln City’s cable channel.

Tires are an essential component of your automobile since they are the only part of the car that touches the road.. They can make a big difference in your riding experience and greatly affect a car’s Stopping and steering.

So finding a great tire shop is important to any automobile owner.

Check out the Shops - When you visit a shop, look at their products and meet their employees.

You should feel as though the salespeople are Experienced, Trustworthy and Knowledgable. Check with your neighbors and find out where they get great service and don’t hesitate to check the Better Business Bureau for complaints.

S Choose Type of Tires - When selecting tires, consider the roads you Cho e travel on . If it is dry and warm, then a standard tire will be fine. But if you ose a Tir travel in a places that get a lot of snow or mud, then you will want a better grade of tires. High performances tires are good for driving at high speeds but not generally good for bad weather. If you commute a long distance, be sure to choose high-mileage tires. Some tires are even designed to increase fuel economy.

Budget ahead of time! - You can get quotes on tires long before you need them. This will let you know what to expect and as you wear them down it wont be such a shock. Tires have increased in price approx 40% in the last 4-5 years so you may be surprised when it comes time to purchase.

Choose an Outlet - There are a variety of ways you can purchase tires. They are available through local tire & repair shop, big box stores or you may even buy them online.

Local shops will likely be more inexpensive, and you will get more personalized service. Buying tires in person allows you to inspect the tires so you can see exactly what you are getting. You will also be able to deal directly in case of a warranty situation. Free services such as rebalancing, rotations and flat repairs will in most cases be included.

When you purchase tires online, it is difficult to judge what you are getting. There won’t be any free services and warranty can be very difficult. Installation will most likely be more costly.

Big box stores can be less expensive but sacrifice services and knowledgeable sales and installation people.

New or Used - Be careful on this! Tires have a shelf life, they become rotten over time and should not be used in this condition. There is no current law, but it is industry standard to limit age of a tire to no more than 7 years. The date of manufacture is imprinted on the tire and can be read by trained tire personnel. Tire condition should also be evaluated only by trained professionals. If a tire is under 7 years old and has been carefully checked then it can be used. No warranty is usually given on used tires so it is a last choice situation.

All in all, a good tire shop can save you some big headaches. It wont help at all if the tire you buy, can’t do what you need it to do. Choose a professional that will help you figure out what is right for your car and your driving habits.

HOW TO

L52368

In an effort to enhance city revenues and jump-start economic development, the Depoe Bay City Council is moving toward reestablishing single-family housing rentals. But during the Council’s April 15 meeting, several community members voiced opposition to the proposal, citing adverse livability issues such as increased traffic, noise, litter and the ability of the City to enforce regulations that might be adopted to control the rentals.

City Council President Zeke Olsen said the rentals would open up existing inventory and boost the local economy. But Olson acknowledged citizens’ concerns.

“I think it is going to be a very passionate discussion and there will be a lot of discourse,” he said. “We will refer this to the City’s building and planning commission. The commission will conduct the public meetings and work out the kinks.”

The Council also adopted a one-year moratorium against medical marijuana dispensaries to allow the City time to review the impact of such businesses and where they could be located within the city limits.

“This state needs to sort out the muddled legislative action,” Olsen said. “There is no clarity in what the state is doing. We need to know how are we going to police this issue and make sure those operating the dispensaries

ing us about the color of the lake and what’s going on,” he said. “We advise them if they are concerned not to swim in the lake and not allow their pets to swim in the lake.”

Cox said there is a potential for a loss of tourism if the blooms continued.

“If we lose visitors to conditions at the lake, those people tend to be replaced by folks that want to recreate along the ocean shoreline,” he said.

Cox said he did not see mass cancellations from the state park lake campground during a health advisory posted from August to November last year due to algae blooms.

“Visitors were still coming and there was no heightened impact from the advisory,” he said.

During the work session, John Fonseca, with the California-based water quality company, Advanced Aquatic Solutions, recommended a $400,000 lake cleanup solution using 20 electric diffusers that would be planted at the bottom of Devils Lake hooked by tubing to an onshore industrial-size power box. The diffusers would circulate the lake bottom sludge and add oxygen to the water as an aeration system.

Eilers told the board his short- and long-term recommendations would be a lesser-cost weed development and aeration program that would include increased flushing, introduction of silver carp, eliminate lawn and yard fertilizer applications and sewering lakeshore homes.

The board also discussed dredging the lake, but Brian Green, the board chair, said the millions of dollars that

opportunities might exist to advance student and community success.”

Ryslinge said the path to accreditation is expected to take about seven years.

Over that time, the college will develop remaining infrastructure to meet accreditation standards.

“OCCC is a robust college with some great programs and wonderful staff already in place, along with amazing facilities thanks to voters in Lincoln County,” Ryslinge said. “My excitement about leading OCCC through the accreditation process is one of the things that pulled me to the college.”

Ryslinge currently serves as Portland Community College’s (PCC) Sylvania campus president.

She has earned a PhD in Organizational Psychology from Alliant International University, from which she also holds a Master of Arts; a Master of Busi-

Ryslinge has also served PCC as a dean of instruction, and as Dean of Academic Services at Chabot-Las Positas College in Livermore, Calif.

“The members of the board and I are very pleased Dr. Ryslinge has agreed to lead Oregon Coast Community College,” Board of Education chair Chris Chandler said. “As Oregon Coast is the last community college in Oregon not to

have standalone accreditation, we need an executive with direct experience to lead us through the anticipated seven-year process toward accreditation.”

Ryslinge is a native of Denmark who immigrated to the United States with her family when she was in elementary school. She speaks Spanish and Danish, and she and her husband have three adult children who all began their postsecondary studies at a community college.

“I love being outdoors, hiking and cycling, whatever the weather,” Ryslinge said. “I’m also devoted to vegetable

“As we go into spring and summer, I do anticipate seeing more jobs available and more people going to work.”

The increase of 10,000 job vacancies in Oregon occurred among businesses with fewer than 100 employees. Businesses with 100 or more employees had essentially the same level of vacancies this year as in winter 2013.

Along with more vacancies, the report shows fewer unemployed statewide competing for those available jobs. In January, 146,600 Oregonians were unemployed, which means roughly four unemployed people for each private-sector vacancy.

A year ago, the ratio was eight unemployed for every job vacancy.

As the labor market tightens, employers are having more difficulty finding the workers they need. Employers reported that more than half of their vacancies in the winter were difficult to fill. The share has increased since winter 2013, when 39 percent of vacancies were difficult to fill.

At $16.05, the average wage offered for a vacancy in winter 2014 was 74 cents above the level from the prior year.

Food preparation and serving workers, and production workers topped the list of occupations with vacancies, with more than

4,000 apiece.

All regions had more vacancies this year than last.

Vacancies have increased significantly in Central Oregon since winter 2014. The Portland tri-county area had 19,000 vacancies, more than half of the statewide total.

gardening, and every year, I work on improving my tomatoes.

“If I can find the time, I also want to brush up on my Spanish and Danish speaking skills. If anyone reading this wants to get together for coffee and conversation in Danish or Spanish, please let me know.”

Ryslinge was selected as president from four finalists after a comprehensive search and a series of public meetings held by the OCCC board and a search consultant.

She is expected to begin her duties with OCCC on July 1.

“I would also like to thank our interim president, Bruce Koike, for his fine work serving OCCC during some difficult times, particularly in especially tough years financially,” Chandler said. “We wish Bruce the very best in his future endeavors.”

electronic and high technology industries in Portland and Seattle and many of them are heading to the Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, Newport and other parts of the Coast,” he said.

The increase in visitors has triggered more retail sales, hotel, and restaurant hiring in Lincoln County this year. There is also a need for health care workers because some of these visitors get hurt or get sick.”

There are about 600 higher-skilled jobs open, paying from $20 to $30 an hour, and about 5,000 lower-skilled positions available that pay from minimum wage to $15 an hour, according to the Employment Department’s regional survey that includes Lincoln County.

“Skilled labor is still difficult to find because there are barriers such as the schooling and onjob training necessary,” Summers said. “Affordable housing, especially in Lincoln County, is also an issue.”

In February, there were 16,790 people working and 1,800 people unemployed in Lincoln County. The county’s estimated population in 2013 was 46,560.

“So, the rest are people self-employed, students, retirees and others who are not working,” he said.

The Oregon Employment Department conducts the Oregon Job Vacancy Survey and estimates the number of job vacancies each quarter based on responses from businesses with at least two employees.

Estimates for spring 2014 will be released in July.

Brotherly Bond

Peter Lahti, left, and older brother, Henry, credit their parents, Erin and Earl, for their drive to become stellar students and standout athletes.

Lahti boys stand tall as Taft students, athletes JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@counrymedia.net

E

ven as a wide-eyed kindergartener shuffling off to his first day of school, little Henry Lahti liked to keep his family informed. Encouraged by his mother about all the new things he would get — important stuff like books and crayons — young Henry was insistent on one thing after learning he’d also be making new friends: “I don’t need new friends.” he pointedly proclaimed. “I have Pete.”

Sixteen-year-old Pete is Henry’s younger brother.

Here’s something else you should know about Pete . . .

Last season, he was the starting quarterback at Taft.

He paired with his 17-year-old brother to form the starting backcourt on the Tigers’ basketball team.

He’s the baseball team’s starting catcher.

Oh, and Peter owns a 4.0 grade point average in eight classes in this, his junior year. He is No. 1 in his class with a 3.94 GPA and enjoys studying physics and forensics.

Guess what?

that first day of school, Henry has not missed a single day of education as his high school graduation nears.

Not one.

Ever.

Not only that, but Henry played golf as the school’s No. 1 player last season and shot as low as 81 on the championship layout at Salishan.

Then, he quit golf for baseball.

“Henry has a very high athletic aptitude,” Taft golf coach Mark Swift said. “He could have taken golf as far as he wanted.”

Henry’s now a starting middle infielder for the Tigers. He even took the mound to start a game last week.

“The Lahtis are two of a kind,” Taft baseball coach Dusty Hankins said. “They work hard, have great attitudes and are a plus on any team.”

The brotherly bond that connects the boys is felt in, around and outside of Taft High School. Cast aside their obvious humility, and the three-sport studentathletes could proclaim themselves “Big Men on Campus.”

Others have.

Tigers get boost from Dayton win

Tigers claim first despite league loss JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

It’s not often that a team can lose one league game and have another wiped out

by Mother Nature, but gain ground on the leader in the quest for a spot in the state playoffs.

Such was the case last week for the Taft High softball team, whose season is going pretty much as planned for coach Dave Broderick, whose longtime mantra has been to concern yourself only with the contest at hand.

Taft lost its first Oregon West Conference game of the season 4-1 at home to Philomath on Tuesday, April 15, had a game scheduled at Philomath two days later rained out, then defeated Roosevelt 9-5 in nonleague action on Saturday.

“We came out flat at home against Philomath,” Broderick said. “Offensively, defensively and from the circle, and let them steal one away from us.”

The statistics reflected Broderick’s concern over the inexplicable performance in the game. There were few to mention, he said.

“We had a total of four hits, which just won’t get it done against any team,” he said.

Sophomore center fielder Kelsey Wilkinson hit a standup triple to lead off the game and scored the Tigers’ only run.

Catcher Keitra Mason, outfielder Taylor Adams and shortstop Hannah Ray had singles for Taft.

McCardell went the distance, striking out seven, walking three and yielding seven hits.

The Tigers got a brief break in the league schedule Saturday, April 19, with a 9-5 home win over Roosevelt.

“We regrouped a bit and got our bats working again in this one,” Broderick said.

Mason was 3-for-3 with a triple and two doubles, including one that bounced over the fence for a groundrule double that scored two runners, first baseman BillyAnn Stempel, second baseman Emily Broderick and McCardell each collected two hits. McCardell, who struck out six and walked two while surrendering five hits, belted a two-run home run over the right-field fence for Taft.

Despiet the league loss, Taft gained some ground on rival Newport in the Oregon West Conference standings as the Cubs losing twice to Stayton, which Taft swept in opening week.

Maybe it was the pregame team breakfast that got the Tigers going. Maybe it was the opponent.

Most likely, it was the thought of losing a fourth straight game.

The Taft High baseball team avoided that Saturday, April 19, with a 9-3 nonconference home victory over Dayton.

“It’s good to get a little confidence going on our side, a little momentum going,” Taft coach Dusty Hankins said after defeating the Pirates behind three pitchers, including two making their first appearances of the season. “Hopefully, we’ll start believing, get back on track and it will instill a little confidence back in the kids.”

After winning its league opener behind senior ace Seth Steere two weeks ago, Taft has lost three straight Oregon West Conference games entering Tuesday’s home contest against Central (past deadline). The Tigers play the Panthers on Thursday on the road.

Taft opened last week with a tough 6-5 extra-inning loss Tuesday at Philomath, where Steere entered in the seventh to close out the game with a two-run lead only to be touched for the tying run on a eye-high pitch that was blooped to right and bobbled enough to score the tying run.

Two days later, Taft fell 9-1 to the Warriors at home after spotting the Tigers five runs in the first.

“It was pretty much a mess all around,” Hankins said. “It was a monsoon, wet conditions, and we just didn’t come out ready to play.”

A team breakfast Saturday, the morning after the school prom, got the team back in focus,” Hankins said.

“We reevaluated what’s going on and came out looser,” he said. “We kind of tightened up, but we have to remember it’s only a game and not to take it too seriously, just have fun.”

Steere went 4-for-4 against the Pirates and drove in two runs behind pitchers Randy Herndon, Mike Zacarias and Henry Lahti, the starter and winner, who, like Zacarias, was pitching for the first time this season.

Steere, Rylan Fisher and Charlie Zeller got Taft’s only hits in Thursday’s game, which Pete Lahti, the Tigers’ catcher, started and lost.

Steere, the Lahti brothers and Cade Knot each had two hits in Tuesday’s close road loss.

You could almost hear Taft High boy golfers saying “oops” — or words to that effect — Friday, April, 18, as they flogged their way around their home course in the Central Coast Classic in Gleneden Beach.

Playing at Salishan Spa & Golf Resort, the Tigers probably should have hit the sauna and avoided the golf course during an alarming step back in their goal toward what they hope will be a state playoff appearance.

Problem was, they didn’t deserve it.

an inexplicable reversal of some notable progression days earlier, in an Oregon West Conference match at Santiam Golf Course.

Taft, just four days removed from a second-place finish behind host Stayton on Monday, April, 14, finished fourth in a five-team field to close out the week. “”Well, Friday’s effort certainly was a reversal of where we were headed going into the event,” Swift said.

The Tigers shot 455, 69 shots higher than earlier in the week, proving again what a fickle game golf can be.

“I was happy with the direction the guys’ golf was headed and thought they would build upon the success they had on Monday,” Swift said. “We have to regroup and get back to minimizing mistakes.”

Lebanon won Friday’s Coast Classic at 350, followed by Stayton, 388; Newport, 423; Taft, 455; and Central, 507.

Stayton took the team title Monday at 365, followed by Taft, 386; Central, 405; Cascade, 432; and Newport, 471.

The Tigers were led Friday by Evan Stanfill at 98, followed by Tyler Fisher, 112; Keaton Fisher, 118; Xander King, 127; and

“We still have some say in going to state, so we have to keep improving and play smart,” Swift said.

The Tigers are scheduled to play Monday, April 21, in a league match at Newport (past deadline), Monday, April 28, at the Seaside Invitational and Tuesday, April 29, at Central.

Improving Tigers to host first home event JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@counrymedia.net

Lower scores with each passing week has Taft High girls golf coach Heather Hatton’s team just about where she wanted it at this stage of the season with a showcase event scheduled Thursday for the young Tigers.

“Our girls are progressing well and are shooting lower scores every week,” the longtime Taft coach said following a second-

place finish Monday, April 14, to Blanchet at Agate Beach Golf Course in a tournament hosted by Newport, which finished third, 30 shots behind the Tigers. “Our goal is to win our home match this week.”

The Tigers, who finished six shots behind Blanchet, were again led by Rachael Adams,, who shot 106. Hayden Zumhofe and Zoe Templick shot 107s, Shely Wright 124 and Blackstocks 129

for Taft.

“Rachael continues to be our lead and is such a strong iron player, Hatton said. “Her short game is coming together.

Hatton said she hopes both Adams and Zumhofe, a sophomore who started the season in the No. 1 position, will both break 100 by Districts and our goal is for Rachael and Hayden to break 100 by districts in May.

“Hayden is really close to bringing her game together,” Hatton said. “She is working on straightening out her driver. She has more power now. With her new power and leg drive comes a need to get her swing back in balance.”

Hatton also said she has been encouraged by Wright’s play.

“Shelby is improving every week and is working hard. She stays late and plays on weekends to get her game where we need it

take challenging classes, lead by example, support others and work hard in everything they do.”

Persistence is a trait the boys share, their dad said. A telling story about his youngest son, then 6, was when Pete fell and broke his arm climbing a fence in the family’s backyard. After getting his cast removed six weeks later, Pete was asked by a neighbor why he was climbing the fence again.

“Didn’t you learn anything from that?” the man next door asked.

“Yes,” young Peter replied, “I learned to hold on tighter.”

“Pete still has that same attitude — learn from the past and excel in the future,” his father said.

While quite alike, Henry, who will turn 18 on Thursday, has his own personality traits.

“Probably the best thing is his

ability to smile throughout any situation, no matter what,” Pete said.

The boys, who have two sisters, Lindsey and Emily, were born and have grown up in Lincoln City in the same house their mom grew up in.

“I am exceptionally proud of who they are and who they are growing up to be,” Erin said.

A former state high school wrestling champion from Warrenton, Earl Lahti first coached the boys in that sport. When they stopped wrestling, Earl read up on how to be a basketball coach.

“He is absolutely selfless,” Pete said. “Athletically, he built my foundation in every single sport I play. “ “I basically have a coach wherever I go,” Henry said.

While Pete applies the word “selfless” to his dad, he best describes his mom as “dedicated.”

“My mom had an impact with

to be.

She said Teplick had her best round of the season and has been a silent performer with a great mental game.

“I’m proud of these girls and am excited to see how we finish out the season,” Hatton said.

Taft was scheduled to compete Tuesday, April 22, at Olalla Golf Course near Toledo (past deadline), and Monday, April 28, at Mallard Creek Golf Course, hosted

by East Linn Christian Academy

sports, but I think a bigger role for her was my academic life,” he said.

A great portion of the boys’ academic growth has come from the personalized education they received at Seventh-day Adventist School, their parents said.

“From a very early age, they have both been taught that respect, dependability and accountability were absolutes,” Earl said. “I think these are traits they still carry, and it shows in all aspects of their lives.”

Like his sons, Earl credits their mother for being the driving force when education is involved.

“They understand, ‘no grades, no games,’” he said. “Both boys have known from the very beginning that academics always come first.”

Well, right behind brotherhood.

“Both boys have had many friends,” Earl said, “but they are still best friends.”

TAFT HIGH

A

sparkling entrance led to gold-streamed splendor Friday, April 18, at Taft High 7-12’s 2014 Junior/Senior Prom at the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

The elegantly decorated hall, themed “The Great Gatsby,” was filled with music reminiscent of the Roaring 20s.

Within the first hour, the tempo changed to the heavy beat of Pharrell Williams, organized by DJ Chad Dowling Productions. Photographer

Shannon Hertz memorialized the couples before they moved onto the dance floor.

Catey Payne was elected queen and Ian Williams king.

The theme was chosen by the junior class. The junior class leaders were Olivia Peabody, Gaby Sanchez, Peter Lahti and Jade Casey, aided by Associated Student Body leader and Assistant Principal Kelly Hart.

Many of the parents of junior class members contributed to the decorations, food and set-up.

Civic Meetings Calendar

By Ken McCormack

Back to the future Farmers settled Neskowin Valley. The school is a converted barn. Lewis Creek, where I live, is named after a farmer.

You can find scattered pieces of wooden pipe tied together with wire.

Recently, the place has livened up considerably. I have been driving back and forth now for nearly 30 years.

Goats are sneaking out onto the road.

A woman rushes after them waving her apron.

Smart animals, goats — fun to watch.

Ponies, pigs, a llama, a horse and a cow are watching from a pasture.

Nearby, at Corvus Landing Farm, folks are out tilling the soil. It looks like farming is making a comeback.

On a rare sunny, spring day, Carolina, the chief operator of Corvus Landing, walks up to chat. She and her husband, Mike, launched their business in 2008.

“Isn’t this climate one of the hardest?” I blurt—thinking, of course, of green tomatoes, fungi, cold weather, soil leeched by rain, sun blocked by trees.

“Corvus Landing fills a niche,” she notes simply. Indeed, it does. The demand for Carolina’s produce—fresh, local and organic—already far exceeds supply. And she has plans to triple her output.

Most of Carolina’s food is now sold through her Community Supported Agriculture program. Customers sign up in advance and receive fresh vegetables each week. Produce can also be purchased at Trillium Natural Foods, Rockfish Bakery, and the Neskowin Farmers Market. On Tuesdays, you can buy directly at the farm. (Learn more online at corvuslanding.com.)

The farm specializes in what grows well in our cool, coastal climate — salad mix, lettuce, carrots, beets, potatoes, peas, and beans. These foods, evolved here; they taste better grown here. They are perhaps even more nutritious.

Moreover, the soil is free of chemicals. It’s ideal for growing organic seed.

This farm is a sign of the times. Between 2000 and 2010, food production in the U.S. grew 33 percent. Farms overall got larger, but fewer. Organic food production, on the other hand, grew seven times faster and farms are smaller.

Organic farmers tend to be younger, and more are female.

Corvus Landing is a sensible response to what’s going on in the food system today. Huge, corporate monoculture, based on fossil fuel, transportation and warehousing, is simply not sustainable. It may be cheaper, but only if you ignore the total environmental cost.

Then there’s a disturbing loss of diversity and an unknown risk of GMOs. But taste is what matters. Local, organic food tastes better. Compare a fresh, local, vine-ripened heirloom tomato to a commercial one picked green in Mexico and then artificially reddened!

Corvus Landing supports Carolina and Mike and allows them to follow their bliss. They love it here. They are bringing farming back to a smaller, more personal, level, where it belongs.

Signals from the natural world structure their lives. “When plants are flowering, new birds are starting to arrive, frogs are croaking, and bees and other insects are getting active, that’s the sign that it’s time to get my own world into gear” she says.

The new Slab Creek Road reminds me of how people once respected food as sacred. It’s a gift from the earth and sun—and from those who till the land and care for animals. “The community is so supportive,” Carolina says.

Farmers markets have blossomed lately in Lincoln City, Tillamook, Newport and Neskowin. Use them! Enjoy the feast.

Keep the money local!
