3) As the County finances improve, where best would additional revenue be spent?

The following are the candidate’s responses:

David Allen

One important issue is financial oversight. Citizens expect a local government to provide required services while, at the same time, keeping a watchful eye on expenditures. And this balance is necessary for counties and cities alike.

Given my eight years of experience as a city councilor and also as chair of both the Audit Committee and Infrastructure Task Force for the city of Newport, I can help achieve this balance for the county.

Another important issue is to represent all areas of the county with equal attention to detail. Citizens expect this and with nearly 10 years of experience as coastal public-at-large representative on issues affecting coastal communities, I can help ensure it continues. This experience can also help ensure that our county’s core economic base -- timber, tourism, and fishing -- remains strong, along with encouraging new or expanding industries, such as marine science and ocean research.

Also, and in connection with this, it’s important to ensure that ocean, natural resource, and other related issues are addressed using an approach more comprehensive in scope and See CANDIDATES, Page A8

The Taft High special needs students practice signing a song in class.

Special needs students gain international recognition JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net The 21 special needs students at Taft High 7-12 are walking proud these days after getting international attention for a song they signed at a recent assembly.

It was at the annual Taft Millie Vanilli Contest where the special needs students were noticed.

Each class at the high school puts together a lip-syncing performance for the contest. The special needs students signed the song “Along” by Trampled by Turtles.

“It was really cool to see all of the students at the assembly get up and start waving their arms with the special needs kids,” Taft Learning Specialist Nikki Dahlnan said. “Someone at the assembly videotaped our

performance and placed it on YouTube and we’ve been getting tons of emails from all over the place about what a good job the kids did.”

Dahlnan said Trampled by Turtles saw the video and sent dozens of their t-shirts to the students in appreciation for choosing their song.

Search for historic vessel could produce economic boom

Sheridan Jones Weather Details

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Local historian Bob Ward, founder of the Drake in Oregon Society, is on a mission to find what he believes to be a sunken ship near the mouth of the Salmon River northwest of Lincoln City.

Ward has received tentative approval for a $20,000 grant from the Lincoln City Visitors & Convention Bureau to help him launch an excavation fo the ship, or parts of the vessel, so that its origin can be determined.

The Bureau’s executive director, Sandy Pfaff, believes the excavation could be a major draw to the area.

“There is a real interest in our heritage and culture and finding the truth about that,” she said. “This has so much potential to promote Lincoln City. If he is right, and he unearths evidence that it is Drake’s ship and there are silver bars in it, the potential publicity is huge.”

Ward said he has been granted the state permits needed for the project, but still needs permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct his excavation at the Salmon River estuary. The work could begin in July.

Ward and his crew have used geophysical equipment to conduct remote sensing surveys of the area that have revealed a debris field of metals about 10 feet below the surface of the mud in the estuary.

He said the timing of the project is critical.

“We only have a short time to take advantage of the negative tides,” he said. “We plan to sink tubes into the mud, remove the mud and identify the metal we believe we will find.”

On his around-theworld voyage in 1579, Sir Francis Drake, the English explorer and privateer, came ashore on America’s West Coast and claimed it for England. He named it ‘New Albion’ (New Britain), and placed the local people under the protection of his queen, Elizabeth I. This much, historians agree on, said Ward.

Tangible proof of exactly where he landed remains elusive. While not universally accepted, the consensus among historians is that Drake landed in a cove now known as “Drakes’ Bay” north of Golden Gate in Marin County, Calif. More than 20 other locations have been advanced as Drake’s port. Wherever the site of Drake’s landing is marks the birthplace of what was to become the British Empire.

Ward has spent more than 30 years researching Drake’s voyage and has been outlining his case that Whale Cove, just south of Depoe Bay, is the location of Drake’s landing.

Ward has documented what he calls the veil of secrecy around Drake’s voyage. When the official account of the voyage was released almost 10 years later, it placed Drake’s anchorage near San Francisco. Ward says he has evidence that the official account was deliberately falsified in several places to keep secret Drake’s search for the Pacific entrance to the fabled Northwest Passage.

Ward hopes to excavate what he thinks might be a small Spanish ship that Drake captured off Costa Rica. Ship and crew were to resume searching for the fabled passage after wintering on the Oregon Coast. Ward said his evidence shows the vessel traveled to the Salmon River estuary and sank.

“This would be internationally important,” he said. “Visitors would come from all over the world to see this site and what we find.”

Ward said his challenge is getting additional funding to support the project.

Alcohol-related traffic fatalities drop Concern about pot related crashes rise JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Oregon’s efforts to reduce the number of alcohol-related traffic fatalities are working, according to state officials.

“Oregon is ranked seventh in the nation for reducing the DUII fatalities,” Oregon Transportation Department Safety Division’s Dan Estes said. “What we are doing really is having an effect. The numbers are moving in the right direction.”

According to the latest figures from ODOT, there were 95 alcohol-related traffic fatalities in 2012, compared to 116 in 2009, an 18.1 percent decline.

Estes said there are a number of factors for the decrease.

“Impaired driving is becoming far less socially acceptable than it used to be,” Estes said. “People are taking it seriously. We have better education efforts starting with children. Many of the DUII offenders are people dealing with substance-abuse issues, and we now have better treat-

ment available to them.”

Estes said Oregon has also increased enforcement and provided better training for officers to spot drunk drivers.

Part of that training took place April 25 and 26 in Lincoln City during the annual DUII Multi-Disciplinary Impaired Driving Conference.

“This conference gives police officers, prosecutors, and judges the latest training and that is all having an impact on addressing the root causes of the impaired driver,” Estes said. “These conferences are a fantastic tool to bring everyone together to show how they can impact the system.”

Oregon DUII Multi-Disciplinary Training Task Force Chairman Robert Haynes said the conference underscores the message that drunk driving is unacceptable in Oregon.

“It is all about how alcoholrelated crashes affect people,” he said. “Not just the person who was killed by the impaired driver, but the impact on the families, friends, and loved ones. It is a senseless crime. It is a selfish crime.”

The 18-member Oregon DUII Task Force is charged with the annual training conferences. The task force is funded by Oregon Department of Transportation grants.

The conference drew 370 people to Lincoln City.

“This is a group effort,” Hayes said. “Not one officer can make that difference. You have to work with prosecutors and judges and with treatment agencies to get the offender help.”

First offenders convicted of DUII can lose their license for 90 days.

“That’s where it hits people, losing that privilege,” he said.

Fines for repeated offenders can be into the thousands of dollars and include jail time.

Hayes and Estes said while there are fewer DUII offenders, it is increasingly harder to prosecute those offenders due to aggressive defense attorneys.

“The worse thing a police officer has to do is to go to someone’s house, knock on the door, and tell them that their

loved one has been killed by a drunk driver,” Hayes said. “Our goal is not to have to deliver that message by taking drunk drivers off the road, hold them accountable, prosecute them get them the help they need if they have an addiction problem.”

NFL Tennessee Titans player Delanie Walker gave the keynote speech at the DUII conference held at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

“These conferences are a passion for me because my aunt and uncle were killed by a drunk driver,” he said.

“I want to help prevent these alcohol related fatal crashes.

It is a senseless act that can be prevent.”

Walker said his message is simple: “Use common sense and have a plan,” he said. “One of two drinks can be deadly.

Plan to take a taxi home, use a designated driver or stay at a hotel. Be smart. It is a matter of common sense.”

While Hayes said he is encouraged by the decrease in the DUII fatality rate, he is

A DUII conference in Lincoln City revealed the number of alcohol related traffic fatalities is declining statewide concerned about the possibility that Oregonians could soon vote to legalize recreational use of marijuana.

He said both Washington and Colorado have seen sharp increases in injury crashes caused by drivers who are

impaired by marijuana since those states have eased laws against the use of the drug.

“So, we need to have the Oregon Legislature add impairment by marijuana as part of the state’s DUII law,” he said.

gram seems to be gaining in popularity and it is sometimes not possible to get a ride for the needed time. If this is the case, there is the loop bus. It runs on a time schedule and has designated stops. If, when getting on the bus, you tell the driver where you are going he will drop you off as close to that location as possible. Check with the transit office to see if return rides may possibly be available.

As a senior who uses the Dial-A-Ride for both medical and non-medical trips I am really glad that the program is available. Yes, there have been a few times when I haven’t been able to get a ride at the time I wanted, but all in all I am very happy with the whole system.

Voices of Lincoln County Doug Hunt for County Commissioner We are lucky to have known Doug Hunt since his arrival in Lincoln county in 1988. As a banker and businessperson he brings all of his financial knowledge to his position on the commission. Doug has served in various pubic service and board positions over the decades throughout our county. Since Doug’s appointment in June 2012 he now brings almost two years of proven experience to our county’s operations and its success. Prior to that Doug served for years on Lincoln County’s Budget Committee which better prepared Doug on Lincoln County’s operations and the increasingly difficult economic environment Lincoln County faces. Doug’s financial and business skills are conducive to his Lincoln County Commissioner position as we face limited revenues and increasing costs in order to continue providing the services needed within our community.

As long time Lincoln County residents we also appreciate Doug’s view of Lincoln County as a whole and his extra consideration for specific needs and the often “uniqueness” of our smaller geographic communities throughout Lincoln County. We wholeheartedly endorse Doug Hunt for Lincoln County Commissioner and hope you too support him in his election bid.

Hunt clarifies information I am writing to clarify information contained in a letter to the editor appearing in the April 16 edition submitted by Kent Hanrahan.

For the record it needs to be stated I am running to

retain my position as Lincoln County Commissioner.

Since I was appointed to the position, I want to make sure it is understood that in this election I am running not to be re-elected, but to retain my position.

I have always believed in transparency and accuracy and wanted to write to clarify the record. Thank you.

Rain is beating up the plants I stuck in the mud during sunbreaks yesterday.

Patsy laughs and tells me to wait until Mothers Day. She’s right! I’m stubborn! Nurseries love repeat customers like me who return after early plantings get eaten by slugs, ripped by the wind, or flattened by quickly passing but devastating downpours.

Ah, Spring! One thing for sure, these April showers should bring May flowers if they are given half a chance.

Mick McLean Lincoln City

I have lived in Otis for nine years and every time I pass the area behind the Otis Café where these 15 or more horses are kept, I get so sad that these horses have no shelter. The shabby little two-horse shelter that has about seen it’s last days, is hardly big enough for two horses. I have seen up to five horses try to get into that little thing on bad days, which are many.

It blows me away that in this area we live in, with many storms; rain, wind, hail, snow, that this would seem trivial to any animal lover. How could one invest in so many wonderful creatures and not provide adequate shelter for them?

Having horses of my own, I know this is hard on them.

Try standing out in it yourself for just 24 hours and see how it feels.

Hopefully, whoever owns these wonderful animals will, construct adequate shelter for them, NOW, rather than later, if they do indeed care about them.

Thanks!.

Gardner’s Lament

Thank you

The Siletz Valley Friends of the Library (SVFOL) Fundraiser at the Little Chief on April 6, was a grand success. We raised over $2,000.

We started serving lunch at 11:30 a.m. and continued until 6 p.m. Thank you so much to all the people in the Lincoln County communities who came out and helped to make our Lasagna Dinner such a great sensation and helping us achieve our fundraising goal. Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped make the day so fruitful and a huge big thank you to Rita for the use of the Little Chief Café, to TJ for coming in and helping us out and to Larissa, Amy’s daughter, for making several helpings of lasagna. We had a great time.

The funds raised will help pay for a permanent art display. The theme is “Baskets.” Our display will hopefully broaden one’s mind on the impact of art and its historical importance.

Baskets are more than functional, they are also artistic

and they show how art can be three-dimensional. Stories can be woven through the artistry of the pieces, thereby creatively preserving a culture or historical event. Traditionally baskets were used for gathering and storing. Our library is not dissimilar to these baskets in that the Siletz Library serves as a vessel for people to gather and store information.

Thank you again to all who came out to our fundraiser.

Obituaries Cayden Fitch January 17, 1996 April 4, 2014

Lincoln City - Cayden Fitch, a graduate of Taft High School 7-12 who had already enlisted in the U.S. Navy, died Friday, April 4, 2014 in an automobile crash outside of Dallas, Oregon.

Cayden was 18 years old. Cayden was born in Poway, California on January 17, 1996 and moved to Lincoln City when he was six. He began to pursue one of his life’s passions, Boy Scouts, when he became a Cub Scout during first grade.

Another of Cayden’s

passions was his journey with Jesus Christ, which he pursued as a member of Faith Baptist Church.

He attended Young Life camp at the Washington Family Camp starting his freshman year. As a junior he became a student leader at WyldLife camp, as well. Responsible for a cabin of middle school students, Cayden was known by his campers as kind-spirited, always willing to listen, and there not only to connect with God, but help others to do so as well.

As a student at Taft High School 7-12, Cayden was involved in numerous school activities. As a seventh grade student he performed in the musical “Beauty and the Beast.”

From eighth grade to his sophomore year, he ran the sound board for three more high school musicals. He helped create and maintain the student publications website, as

well as worked on the yearbook as a member of the journalism program.

He volunteered to be a member of the school’s Community Emergency Response Team. Very often he could be found in the school’s media lab, taking apart and repairing computers just for the fun of it with his best friend, Lee Wagoner.

Outside of school, Cayden worked hard as well. First as a barista at Tsunami Coffee, which his family owned. Later he worked at the golf shop at Salishan Spa and Golf Resort, and finally at Safeway. Cayden achieved one of his life-long goals on March 9, 2014 when he was welcomed as an Eagle Scout. As part of his necessary community service project, Cayden constructed the walkways, bleachers and trash can holders at the Taft High School 7-12 softball field. Cayden’s rank as Eagle Scout allowed

him to be inducted into the Navy with an instant promotion to the rank of E3.

This was two steps above the normal entry position, and it would have given him more pay and responsibility. Cayden planned to use his interest in science, technology, electronics and math to become an advanced computer field technician.

Cayden had many hobbies that he liked to enjoy with his family and friends. He was a fan of all types of music. He enjoyed playing World of Warcraft with his friends.

He was a huge fan of “Lilo and Stitch” -- especially Stitch. More than anything, however, he just loved to hang out with his family.

That was the biggest part of Cayden: family.

Cayden is survived by his parents, Bryan and Sherry, and two brothers, Elin, 12 and Cooper, 9.

Cayden’s life will be celebrated on Saturday, May

3 at Faith Baptist Church, 5750 N Hwy 101, at 2 p.m.

A reception will be held after the services. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to Young Life, in care of Dallas Mortuary Tribute Center, who is caring for the family.

Five children Police capture second suspect in felony assault search two adults escape fire JEREMY C. RUARK

North Lincoln Fire & Rescue crews were called to a house fire shortly before midnight, April 28, at 421 N.E. Port Avenue.

“Five children and two adults escaped a fire that broke inside an added on structure at the home,” North Lincoln Fire & Rescue’s Jim Kusz said.

Crews had the fire under control within 20 minutes after arriving on the scene he said.

The home suffered heavy smoke damage with the fire origins in the garage.

The cause of the fire had not been determined at The News Guard’s press time.

Follow the developments at thenewsguard.com.

A second suspect wanted in connection with felony assault and drug trafficking is behind bars after Lincoln City Police captured the man Thursday afternoon, April 24.

Police took Selvin Landa Fajardo, 21, into custody at gunpoint following a brief chase. He is charged with assault and unlawful use of a weapon.

The capture happened after an officer made a traffic stop along Highway 101 in Nelscott and recognized Fajardo in the vehicle.

“As the car stopped, Fajardo jumped out and ran,” Lincoln City Police Sgt. Jeffrey Winn said.

“Our officers mounted a search in the area and we were able to arrest Fajardo along Beach Avenue a short distance from the traffic stop.”

Fajardo was one of two men police were looking for in connection to felony assault and drug trafficking. On April 18, the Oregon State Police Swat Team, Lincoln City Police and members of the Lincoln Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT) lead a search warrant at 3037 N.W Quay looking for Fajardo and his brother, Samuel.

The SWAT team attempted to call the suspects out of the residence.

Two adult females, and an adult male and three children were escorted from the home, questioned and released, according to Lincoln City Police Lt. Jerry Palmer.

“After the suspects did not respond to being called out, SWAT deployed diversionary explosions and gas charges into the home,” Palmer said.

Police recovered evidence of the assault and drug trafficking from the residence and arrested Samuel Fajardo, 23, at the scene. He is charged with assault, unlawful use of a weapon, manufacture of a controlled substance, delivery of controlled substance, possession of controlled substance methamphetamine and heroin, child neglect I, and felon in possession of body armor.

A bouquet is the perfect gift for a housewarming, wedding, corporate dinner or birthday party. A beautiful arrangement creates a happy and celebratory atmosphere. It brightens up a room. Getting just the right flower arrangement is the key to your success. A professional florist will know how to make the colors, types of flowers and even scent work for your occasion.

Research the Florist If you are purchasing a floral arrangement for an event, ask the venue staff for recommendations. They are often familiar with the best florists in the area. Popular florists are usually quite busy year-round, so begin the process right away. Family and friends may also have suggestions. Be sure to ask them for their experiences, as well as how much they paid for the services. ri Call each florist to check their availability. If a florist is unavailable, scratch Choose a flo them off your list. Meanwhile, determine your flower budget. It will be a factor in your decision-making process. Also, look for floral arrangements in magazines. Clip out these photos and put them in a notebook. Note why you like these flowers. Once you have a list of florists who are available, visit their shops and interview them.

Interview the Florist Upon entering each floral shop, look at the cleanliness and organization. Are the pathways clear of plants, tools and debris? Is the staff friendly and warm? The answers to these questions will help you understand each shop’s level of customer service. All plants and flowers should be well-maintained and attractively arranged. Employees should be attentive. The best florists have a wide range of options in their showroom. During the interview, ask if the florist has previously worked at your venue. Each facility has unique rules about what they will allow in their location. If the florist has worked at the venue, that is a big advantage. She will know and can adhere to the rules. Inform the florist of your budget and ask for recommendations. The florist should be able to give you numerous suggestions about flower arrangements. Most florists have a scrapbook of their previous work.

Each professional brings a sense of personal style to her arrangements. Be sure to show the florist your notebook.

Discuss the arrangements you prefer. Perhaps the florist could produce similar arrangements. If you are holding a large event, the florist might have recommendations about other event professionals. It takes a team to work a large event. A friendly, well-established relationship between your caterer and florist is especially important. Once you have chosen your florist, be certain to confirm the type of arrangements you will receive. You should also know when the arrangements will arrive at the venue and who is responsible for placing the flowers in the appropriate spots. Confirm when payment is expected. Understand the floral contract before signing anything.

Get it in Writing When you are pleased with a company’s work, you might assist the shop with providing positive references and reviews. A professional florist will help you go a long way toward establishing the right environment for your event. The vivid colors and pleasant aroma will convey the right feeling for your special day. st

more inclusive in outreach to citizens. Given my years of experience at the state and local level, I can help foster a healthy dialogue on these challenges ahead.

As the county finances improve, and as part of financial oversight, any additional revenue should first be put in reserve before any decisions are made to spend it. Although more funding is needed for many essential programs, this incorporates a fiscally responsible approach to budgeting, which provides a framework for achieving the balance between providing required services while keeping a watchful eye on expenditures.

Dick Anderson

As I have traveled around the county listening to citizens I have heard: There is a concern about the County’s lack of economic diversity. There is a sense that the County has been too dependent upon a natural resource economy with economic engines that have a dependency upon federal dollars. This is usually followed with the concern about a lack of family wage job opportunities.

There is a concern that our educational system in the County needs to improve.

With improvement, comes opportunity for business relocations and population growth.

There is a concern with our local health care. Will we have hospitals and if so, what level of care will they provide?

There is also a concern for access to, from and around the County utilizing our highways and it’s failing infrastructure.

Other concerns I have heard are drug abuse, domestic violence, child abuse, burglaries and homelessness. It is my belief that with a strong, vibrant, local economy, we can turn the corner on these issues as well.

As commissioners, how would you address those issues?

First I would want to confirm that the concerns are legitimate. For the ones that are not, then we need to address the challenge of changing that perception.

A diversified economy, job opportunities and a strong educational system work hand in hand. As a County, we need to confirm that our infrastructure to accommodate new businesses is in place. We need to be perceived as inviting to new businesses and have an educated work force to meet their hiring demands. We want good jobs so our kids can live here as well. I have been attending School Board meetings throughout the County and working with the administration to assist with

“The kids have learned how to count money and sell the t-shirts we’ve gotten from the group,” she said. “Many of the other students want to buy our shirts and they say hi to the kids, so they now feel like they are famous. They feel like they are rock stars.”

Dahlnan works with the Taft special needs students who face a variety of disabilities from autism to Down syndrome.

She said many times the rest of the students might not know what the special needs kids do because they are mostly confined in a special section of the high school.

“These kids are not in the hallways every day and not many of them go to other classes, so it is kind of cool that they are being noticed,” she said.

Dahlnan said it is extremely challenging to teach the special needs students.

“It is hard to figure out a way to make sure each of the kids feel that they are successful,” she said. “Because some of them are advanced learners, while others need much more time in the classroom. But this is an amazing little family with each of the students very supportive of the others.”

She said the special needs kids must work harder to achieve their classroom goals.

“I don’t think the other Taft students realize the rigor that is involved in special education,” she said. “These students have years to catch up and they have to work very hard. We are not here playing with toys and

this partnership. I have also been involved with students to encourage a sense of community and to instill a vision of opportunity.

I recognize that having hospitals in our County provides an economic boost as well as a vehicle to meet our citizens health needs. By having a positive relationship with the provider we can work together to alleviate the concerns of our citizens. I have been attending health district and hospital meetings to keep myself familiar with the issues while building relationships. We will need to collaborate to meet the needs of the community.

I have been very much involved with the Oregon Dept of Transportation regarding the state highways that come into and through the County.

I am an active member on two Area Commissions on Transportation that recommend highway projects for funding and believe my involvement has paid dividends for Lincoln City. I would expect positive results for the County as my relationship continues to grow.

I am a firm believer of having a reserve fund to meet the unanticipated financial needs of the future. As revenues increase I would recommend allocating dollars to build such a fund. I also believe in 5 year forecasting of revenues and expenses. After a 5-year plan analysis, we can better determine where services could be increased.

With this tool we can better judge whether the revenue is sustainable and our ability to meet our expenses.

Joe Hitselberger

I believe that the most important issues in the county are transportation issues, jobs and the local economy, and emergency preparedness and response.

Coordinating with local, state and federal agencies, as well as the Oregon Transportation Commission is key to the development and management of our transportation system. Safety improvements, pedestrian and bicycle development, updating fish passage barriers at road crossing and developing bypass routes would benefit the county. As a former biologist, I worked with local, state, federal, and tribal agencies, and I successfully managed many politically and environmentally contentious issues, including large transportation and infrastructure projects.

Job retention and creation is a critical issue in the county. Supporting industries that are already established in the county and attracting new industry is a priority. Small changes such as streamlining the county permitting process for small businesses would benefit the local economy immediately.

babysitting. This is hard work.”

Mike Stover, a special needs assistant from Newport, calls the work at the school his retirement.

“These are fun kids,” he said. I love working with these kids. They make my day.”

Stover acknowledges that the work is challenging.

“You have to know the kids,” he said. “And they have to know you. But once that relationship is formed they will do pretty much anything that you tell them to do.”

Stover said the special needs students need to be included.

“They are very social,” he said. “But they are disabled at different levels. It’s all a social thing, so the more they can engage with the other kids, the more others can understand their situation.”

Stover said engaging the special needs students will help

When my wife and I started our microbrewery in Seal Rock, the permitting process was very involved and I feel that streamlining the process would allow businesses to open their doors sooner.

Lincoln County is vulnerable to natural disasters and the county needs to coordinate better with local, state and federal agencies in the area. Better county-wide contingency planning and continued training of first responders is a priority. As a wildland firefighter for the Oregon Department of Forestry, I understand the importance of planning and training and would be well suited to address these issues.

Additional revenue would be best spent on our schools.

Lincoln County schools are the foundation of our community, having exceptional schools will benefit the county in a number of ways.

It will attract new residents and industry, and make the county an even better place to raise a family.

Doug Hunt

I believe one of the top issues for our citizens is jobs and our local economy. The county’s unemployment rate remains stubbornly above the state and national average.

While we are starting to see some improvement in the economy, the outlook for several years forecasts sluggish job growth and meager economic activity. Jobs and job creation are critically needed.

Another paramount topic is the long-term viability and financial soundness of our county and budgets. Here in Lincoln county we are faced with an economic environment of limited revenues and increasing costs as we continue to strive to improve the services delivered to our citizens.

Availability and the delivery of quality healthcare to seniors, Veteran’s and at-risk youth is also of critical concern to citizens. Seniors represent a rapidly increasing portion of our county’s population, Veterans warrant comprehensive treatment, and actions taken to address needs of at-risk youth will generate significant future cost-savings.

Here’s how I would address the issues: Jobs - As County Commissioner, one of my highest priorities has been to proactively work to generate jobs and improve our local economy.

I am working to refine the county’s economic development grant program so it has a sharper focus on jobs and job creation. I have funded economic development requests for organizations in Lincoln City and I continue to look for ways to expand funding of the Small Business Development Center. I am also actively involved in eco-

nomic development agencies and activities throughout the county and most recently the revitalized efforts involving community leaders in Lincoln City.

Finance and Budget - I have a 39 year career as a community banker and 9 years experience on the County budget committee. I have the necessary credentials and expertise to understand and manage large budgets, execute financial plans and direct the myriad complex aspects of governing our county with a budget of over $80 million in total funds and more than 400 employees. As County Commissioner my skills are invaluable as I lead the county in addressing future revenue and expense levels and lead an effort to run the county more like a business.

Health Care - Lincoln County has 2 Federally Qualified Health Centers, one in Lincoln City and the other in Newport. We need to increase services and staffing and operate the centers more efficiently and cost effectively in order to offer enhanced healthcare services to more citizens. Working with the Veterans’ Administration has resulted in the future opening of a Veterans’ center in Lincoln City. I also continue to support the development of new programs to identify and deliver services to at-risk youth which will save significant dollars in future healthcare costs.

While the economy slowly improves we need to be cautious in our development of future budgets. Our first priority should be the continued building of county reserves. This “rainy day” fund provides a cushion for future use when the county experiences unexpected expenses or loss of revenues.

Disaster preparedness is also an urgent need. Funds are needed for training, construction of emergency services infrastructure and to establish storage of emergency supplies throughout our county. Finally, we need to develop a strategic comprehensive plan identifying and prioritizing critically needed future job positions enabling the county to continue to meet the expanding needs of our growing county population.

up a significant number of them. Deteriorating road conditions due to lack of O and C funds.

Addressing those issues is hard because they all have a lack of available funds. The best you can do is focus on what the citizens think are your core responsibilities and look for ways to do it cheaper.

It’s also your responsibility to inform the residents of the problems and issues so they can make informed choices.

There is a need to better involve the county work force and the citizens to find better ways to deliver the services the residents of Lincoln County deserve.

As finances improve I would look at putting more funds into public safety and mental health issues. The Road department looks like it will get another bit of funding restored, but we will need to come up with a better long term solution. That assumes that other parts of county government are not in more dire need. It will be a balancing act.

are the top issues. We need to have jobs to protect out livability. Getting the right jobs is essential.

We have economic development alliance and a grant to use effectively to get early money From NONA and used some of that money to show how the Hatfield Marine Science Center is developing a new 500-studetn campus and stimulate new jobs and new business and to protect the jobs and businesses we already have.

Public safety would have to be part of the effort to restore funding. Improving mental health services and public health would be the other areas to spend additional revenue. There are many demands. We need to put more money in planning as our econ picks up there will be more building and that will require more people in the county planning department to handle the workload.

The economy is the number one issue with residents, followed by public safety, homeless/mental health, and infrastructure. Property owners are upset about rising tax bills at the same time property values are still falling or staying even. Lack of patrol deputies to handle calls, slow response times due to that lack. Increasing homeless population and lack of options other than jail time for the mentally ill that make

Council approves medical pot dispensary moratorium with several exceptions

re to ning JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net e d ople The Lincoln City City Council has approved a e citywide moratorium on medical marijuana disVot- pensaries except in genthe eral commercial zones, ws- the Oceanlake Planned District/Main Street Highway zone and the Nelscott Planned District/Nelscott Business District zone.

Randy Mallette, a Lincoln City man who has applied to the state for a dispensary license, said the Council action Monday night, April 28, means he can open his medical marijuana dispensary.

“I have gone through the process and hope to get my license any day now,” he said.

The moratorium is in place until Jan. 1, 2015, or until the Council rescinds the moratorium.

The Council also heard a request from Lincoln County Commissioner Bill Hall speaking for the Lincoln Community Land Trust whose mission is to provide permanently affordable homeownership for working individuals and families within Lincoln County.

Hall asked the council to commit to a three-year, $30,000 plan to support a full-time director for the Land Trust. He has also asked the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners and the Newport City Council to commit to the plan.

“This will give more energy into grant writing, building the membership base and fundraising,” he said. “It is important for cities and counties to support efforts to develop workforce housing. We’ve spent several years building relationships with

lenders and builders. This is the opportunity to take this to the next step.”

Mayor Dick Anderson told Hall that the City has supported the Land Trust.

“But we aren’t going to make a commitment tonight,” he said. “So, you aren’t going to walk away with a check. We will consider this during our budget process in May.” The Council also voted to allow the City’s public works department to repair a failed culvert in the Nelscott Gap area at the request of the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

The culvert is located at S.E. 35th Street and crosses Highway 101 to a manhole on S.W. 35th Street. ODOT crews discovered the culvert and approximately 70 feet of pipe had collapsed in February.

The culvert provides drainage for the highway and surrounding property and is a permitted emergency sewer discharge for the City’s sanitary sewer system.

“The failed culvert and the lack of adequate drainage has compromised the roadbed threatening the structural integrity of the roadway,” Public Works Director Lila Bradley said. “Due to the potential hazard to the public, additional damage to the roadway, and loss of service to the area ODOT declared an emergency on Feb. 28.”

Bradley said the estimated cost of repair is approximately $110,519.

ODOT said it would reimburse the City for the repair.

The Council also heard a presentation from Pam Salisbury, executive director of Children’s Advocacy

Center of Lincoln County and Lincoln City Police Chief Keith Kilian, a board member of the Children’s Advocacy Center. The center evaluates suspected child abuse victims and provides counseling.

Salisbury said the group is using a three-year Ford Foundation grant to train adults in the county about leaning the signs of abuse and what they can do to prevent child abuse.

“The individual leaves the training with the feeling that they are empowered and they can make a difference,” she said. “It is so critical that we do this so that we can prevent the abuse.”

A bypass of U.S. Highway 101 in Depoe Bay to expedite residential traffic and ensure emergency vehicle access is part a 20-year transportation plan being coordinated by the City in conjunction with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT).

While tourist transportation alongside businesses along the Coast would be virtually unaffected by the change, it would ensure access north and south should 101 become impassable, Depoe Bay Mayor A.J. Mattila said.

“What it amounts to is if there’s a closure of the bridge, it will give us a bypass around the west side of town that people, and even

trucks, could get through if they had to,” he said.

Depoe Bay City Planner Larry Lewis said it would primarily be used by residents, much like Devils Lake Road is commonly used by citizens to avoid congestion on Highway 101 in downtown Lincoln City.

“Highway 101 would still be the main avenue for transit,” Lewis said of the proposed Transportation System Plan (TSP). “The intent is not to take tourist traffic off Highway 101.

It would primarily be for local traffic and emergency vehicles. And we’re talking a long-term here. It’s a 20-year plan, so it could take a very long time.”

Lewis said the City will get proposals from ODOT that examine potential areas it can structure develop-

ments of so that construction can begin taking place.

“By proposing a bypass, we’re trying to get ODOT to approve it behind town, because our little bridge down there at the park is a recreational bridge mainly, but is designed to carry our heaviest fire truck,” he said.

“If the main bridge is out, there would still be another way for vehicles to go north and south through Depoe Bay. “Besides being an emergency thing, it would also be a convenience for our citizens so they wouldn’t have to deal with all the traffic on 101. They could go from end of town to the other and have access to all back parts of the town.”

Lewis said there would have to be access across south Depoe Bay Creek at

winning as one of my highest priorities.”

Heather graduated from Taft High in 1988 and Pacific University in Forest Grove in 1992 with majors in business management and economics. She swam, played volleyball, basketball and golfed in high school, but was most successful at golf.

Hatton worked at The News Guard out of college, and, eventually, became a volunteer assistant coach at Taft for her former coaches, the husband and wife team of Frank and Matt Olsen.

“They not only taught me how to play and compete at a high level, but really have a love for the game,” Hatton, now public relations manager at Chinook Winds Casino Resort, said. “Frank and Matt did not be-

lieve in quitting, giving up or bad weather.”

After the Olsens retired in 1999 after more than 25 years as coaches, Hatton was offered Taft’s head coaching position.

“During the interview, I remember the principal asking me, ‘Will your husband, Rick, be assisting you?’ ” Hatton said.

Well, yes, as it turned out.

Rick graduated from Taft High in 1980 and went to work for his father at Garage Door Sales, which he now owns and operates. He was a star golfer for the Tigers, placing third in the state his freshman year.

unny, when you think about it, how Taft High girls head golf coach Heather Hatton, and her assistant, Rick, met.

“Tennis, anyone?” Rick said to Heather in asking her on a first date.

Rick won the tennis match, Heather said.

And her love.

Today, the lifelong Lincoln Cityarea residents and husband and wife coaching team share a love for golf.

And the program they serve as coaches, “What we bring to this team is our experience as players and our passion for the game,” Heather said. “We take very seriously that we are representing Taft High School.”

Heather, who was hired as Taft head coach in 1999, and assistant Rick, who has been “looping” since the opening tee shot, are second only to swimming coach Lissa Parker as deans among Taft High coaches.

Both are Taft High graduates, both familiar figures around town, and both vastly instrumental in elevating a player’s ability on any scorecard by which coaching girls high school golf is measured.

“Coaching girls who have made the decision to play one of the most difficult sports out there is an honor and a privilege,” Heather said.

When it comes to coaching girls the game, the Hattons have been knocking down the flagsticks going on 20 years now.

“I think that every coach has the opportunity to leave a legacy of etiquette and sportsmanship while still holding the thrill of competing at a high level,” Heather said. “Etiquette, rules and sportsmanship are a high priority for us, but I would be lying if I didn’t hold

said. “He has a gift of being able to watch someone swing and see simple changes they can make to improve not only their score but their enjoyment.”

The Hattons might enjoy the game even more next season when the eldest of their three daughters, 13-year-old Maya, takes her clubs out of the trunk and tosses them into the back of a bus.

An eighth-grader at Taft 7-12, Maya’s bag tag will display the most impressive playing credentials ever for an incoming Taft High freshman.

“We have never had a freshman come in with the skills Maya has in her bag,” Heather said.

While that might not mean scores in the mid-80s like Maya posted last week in a casual round at Salishan, the Hattons understand that a promising prep player might be just a soundly struck 3-wood away from being a proven one.

“We have high expectations, not on her level of ability, but on her sportsmanship and representing Taft,” Maya’s mom, er, coach, said. “She has been brought up around our coaching style and knows what we expect from our players.”

“Playing for my parents will mean so much to me,” Maya, who also plays basketball and volleyball, said. “I have been watching them coach and build amazing players my entire life.”

Up next on the tee could well be daughter Lily, 10, who is in the fourth grade at Taft Elementary School, and Katelyn, 4, who attends Faith Baptist preschool.

Lily already is playing in junior tournaments, matching the scores Maya shot at her age.

Katelyn is a player of the putt-putt variety.

“We are hoping each of our girls decide to play on our team, but we want them to be happy and choose their own path,” Hatton said. “We just hope a cart path is included in their dreams.”

Swimming boys competition and third in the girls behind Portland Aquatic Club (for complete results, visit angelfire.com).

Lizeth Cortes, Sam Cortes, Justin Delfin, Benji Galvan, Mason Garding, Natalie Gates, Lainey Hertz and Lydia Prins all placed second for Lincoln City.

Sam Cortes, 9, placed second in two events, the 50-meter butterfly and

50-meter backstroke. The 9-year-old also placed third in three other races.

“Once again, our number of swimmers on the team and in home meets is huge,” Parker said. “And, there are several groups that will serve us well in the future as they train and work out together,especially in the 12-andunder groups.”

Parker said the sheer number of relays Lincoln City was able to compete in because of its many partici-

pants assisted in the team scoring.

“That contributed to a lot of points,” She said. “Several first-timers in the 400 commented that they liked it after the race.”

More than anything, the event continues to be a key attraction for visitors and a boom to the local economy.

Look no further than a 32page program packed with local advertising, signaling support for meet Director Charlie Lunstedt’s event,

which also benefitted from the certification of Barb Halferty as an official.

“The kids and families stepped up to run a very successful meet,” Parker said. “Using the [rented] gym for overflow worked well and took pressure off the deck in terms of numbers.”

Portland won the boys competition with 956 points, followed by Lincoln City, 465; Tigard/Tualatin Swim Club, 282; McMinnville Swim Club, 259; Bend Swim

Tigers cut loose for two league wins

“What are you going to do?” first-year Taft High head baseball coach Dusty Hankins had to be asking himself this week as the Tigers continued in search of their first league victory since winning the conference opener three weeks ago.

“Why,” he wonders, can’t the Tigers catch a break?

“We’ve just been leaving too many runners on base,” Hankins said after Taft lost two Oregon West Conference games to Central — 5-3 at home on Tuesday, April 22, and 13-7 on the road Thursday, April 24.

It’s the type of thing his team can’t afford in more competitive Oregon West Conference play.

“It seems the bounces aren’t going our way,” he said.

“It’s the little stuff. We’re not getting the lucky breaks you usually need to win.”

Hankins’ aggressive approach that saw the Tigers vault into the top-10 rankings earlier this season, has not benefitted from timely hitting or clutch fielding. After winning the opener in a shutout over Stayton, Taft has lost four straight league games.

“We’re not getting around the bases as well as we’d like to,” Hankins said.

In addition, he said the few defensive lapses the team has committed also seem to come at inopportune times.

Taft squandered a 3-2 lead in the fifth inning at home on Tuesday behind senior starter Seth Steere, who surrendered four runs before junior Randy Herndon came on in relief.

Rylan Fisher, Henry Lahti, Alroy Zacarias and Herndon had hits for Taft, which surrendered an insurance run to the Panthers in the top of the seventh.

Lahti, Steere and Joe Salsbery each collected two hits in the six-run loss Thursday , when Central jumped to a 10-0 lead after two innings off Herndon before Cade Knott and Salsbery entered the game.

Pete Lahti and Herndon also had hits for the Tigers. The Lahti brothers drove in two runs apiece.

“The whole team’s been making contact, hitting the ball hard, but it seems right at people,” Hankins said. “And, all the guys pitching have done a good job. We’re doing the right things. The kids are hustling and trying and putting the effort out, but the balls are just not falling or falling in the right place.”

Taft hosted Newport on Monday, April 28 (past News Guard deadline; see thenewsguard.com for results), is at Newport on Wednesday, April 30, and at Cascade on Friday, May 2.

With the league season having reached a telling point, Taft High softball coach Dave Broderick will tell you this . . .

“Our offense is working great right now. We’re hitting throughout the lineup, making good decisions on the bases and being very disciplined at the plate.”

Not one to look ahead, let the Oregon West Conference standings tell you this . . .

The Tigers are in first place at 4-1, are 13-2 overall and have outscored their opponents 132 to 42 this season, or 8.8 to 2.8 runs per game.

The Tigers, ranked ninth in the state, won two more times on back-to-back days last week -- 20-1 at home over Philomath on Wednesday, April 23, and 7-1 at home over Central in Thursday, April 24.

Taft scored five runs in the first inning, 10 in the second and five more in the third and fourth to force umpires to impose the state’s 10-run, five-inning mercy rule.

The scoring was highlighted by a two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth by third baseman Ayla Reed after she had narrowly missed hitting one out in her previous trip when the ball bounced off the top of the same center field wall and back into play.

Senior catcher Keitra Mason got the scoring barrage started in the first with a key two-run double to right-center after Kelsey Wilkinson, Hannah Ray and BillyAnn Stempel all singled.

Taft junior starter Katie McCardell threw all five innings, struck out four and walked four. She surrendered just two singles and one earned run off a walk despite pitching with a wet ball.

“The defense stood steady and worked hard, even in the pouring rain,” Broderick said of the Tigers’ flawless defense in support of their ace starter.

Taft then defeated Central by six runs at home on Thursday, April 24.

Taft was silent at the plate early, but got started offensively in the second when McCardell hit a bases-empty shot over the right-field fence.

Taft erupted for five runs in the third when Reed, Ray, Keitra Mason, Emily Broderick, Stempel Taylor Adams and McCardell combined on a series of RBI hits and sacrifices.

Sophomore Kelsey Wilkinson then led off the fourth with a solo homer to left to close out the Tigers’ scoring.

Wilkinson also made a sliding catch for an out and threw to third to catch a runner who was attempting to tag up and advance.

McCardell struck out 10 and walked just one while again surrendering just two singles and one earned run in a game demanding precision around the plate, Broderick said.

“It’s one thing to pitch around hitters to keep them from getting key hits,” he said, “but it’s a whole lot different to pitch to those hitters, keep them off balance and sit them down.”

The Tigers played at Newport on Monday, April 28 (past News Guard print deadline; see thenewsguard. com for results), host Newport at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 30, and host Cascade at 4 p.m. Friday, May 2.

“We will continue to work on things one day at a time and one game at a time,” Broderick said.

Stanfill stands tall with career-best 84 JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

Succinctly put, Taft boys golf coach Mark Swift said it best: “Agate Beach was an interesting event,” he said after the Tigers placed third in a fiveteam tournament hosted Monday, April 21, by rival Newport Swift has seen and experienced numerous items of interest this season. One word — besides “interesting”— best describes them: Unpredictable.

But such is the

game of golf.

“The third-place finish might have been enough to knock the Tigers out of hopes for a OWC banner, but if we can keep improving, we still have a great shot at making it to state,” Swift said.

In short, the Tigers are gaining ground but running out of time behind several improving players, most notably Evan Stanfill, who led the Tigers with a career-low 84.

Tyler Fisher shot 89, Keaton Fisher 97, Zander King 119 and Connor Anderson 125 for Taft. The low four scores contribute to the team total.

“Evan really is starting to show signs of figuring out how to score his ball, and that is a very encouraging sign,” Swift said. “Keaton and Tyler also are showing flashes of this, and we expect the trend to continue.”

Taft shot 389 to place behind the Cubs at 350; followed by Stayton, 354; Central, 418; and Cascade, 485.

“We had a good week of practice despite the rain, and we are anxious to return to competition.” Swift said.

The Tigers played Monday April 28, at the Seaside Invitational, and Tuesday, April 29, at Central (past deadline; visit thenewsguard.com for results).

Tigers gaining ground as districts near Taft High’s Joshua Wright and Mason Aguirre again led the way for the boys, and Sarahi Herver and Olivia Barten paced the girls last week during two track and field road competitions.

Wright placed fifth in the 100 meters and sixth in the 200, while Aguirre was fourth in the 3,000 and sixth in the 1,500 Friday, April

25, at the Central Coast Invitational at Siuslaw High School in Florence.

Gavin Ceballos, Drew Lee and Cesar Fajardo also fared well in their specialties for the Tigers.

Herver was seventh in the long jump, ninth in the 200 and 13th in

the 100 for Taft. Barten was 12th in the 400 meters and 15th in the 200. Keyonna Williams, Courtney O’Neal and Eva Barten also fared well for Taft.

The Tiger boys placed seventh in the eight-team meet, which was won by North Bend. The Taft girls were eighth behind winning Dallas.

Track & Field

Taft lost a dual meet with Stayton on Tuesday, April 22. The boys lost 106-33, while the girls fell, 115-25.

Wright won the 200and 400-meter runs and Aguirre the 1,500 and 3,000 for Taft.

The Tigers were at Stayton, Monday, April 28, and Cascade, Tuesday, April 29 (past deadline). The Tigers are at Toledo on Friday.

Cinco de Mayo is celebrated nationwide to honor the contributions of the industrious community of Mexican descent. The celebrations are designed to allow everyone to join in.

Historically, Cinco de Mayo celebrates the May 5, 1862, Battle of Puebla, in which the Mexicans defeated a much larger French army that had invaded Mexico.

Seven years ago, Spanish instructor José Solano organized the first Cinco de Mayo festival on the Oregon Coast.

Solano presents the festival at the Lincoln City Cultural Center as is part of his 2014 World Music Series.

The Azteca de Oro Mariachi Troupe of Felix Martínez kicks off the May 3 fiesta performing on the stage of the Cultural Center.

The Mariachi troupe sings and plays and will accompany Papalotl, the Mexican folkloric dance company of Kenya Márquez. It will perform in

colorful authentic costumes.

Papalotl, meaning butterfly in Nahuatl, performs dances from many regions of Mexico, including Vera Cruz, Guerrero,

Oaxaca, Nayarit, and Jalisco.

Kenya comes from a long line of Mexican dancers and musicians.

Enriquez’ authentic Mexican

food may be purchased and a no-host bar will be available.

Food and drinks will be served throughout the performances.

Tickets are $12 in advance,

$14 at the door, $8 for students and $16 for table seating For more information, call the Cultural Center at 541-994-9994.

Mixed Grill

By Everett Cutter

Try these treats on Cinco de Mayo Mary Alice remembers her first kitchen calamity occurring within the first two months of her marriage five decades ago.

As newlyweds getting established, the couple budgeted sparingly for food and other specific expenses each week. Mary Alice was also gaining experience as a cook, and there was one entrée she had made successfully that she wanted to try on her new husband.

She decided to splurge on spices necessary to re-create her standby Tamale Pie. She could squeeze it into the weekly allowance - after all, the dish could be stretched out over several meals and the spices would be on hand for future use.

She remembers like yesterday the hard work, the anticipation, the proud presentation that led up to the astonishment of learning something totally new about her man: “I can’t stand spicy food!!”

She ended up fixing him alternate dinners while she, um, enjoyed Tamale Pie night after night…

Mary Alice eventually regained independent status and cooked whatever hot stuff she pleased. She blossomed into a highly accomplished cook, widely recognized for her hospitality. Over the years, some of her recipes have found their way into this column.

This week we feature fare celebrating Cinco de Mayo, the festive Fifth of May in Hispanic culture.

GREEN CHICKEN ENCHILADAS

1 9x12 baking dish for the final assembly 12 chicken thighs 2 large Anaheim chilies, canned or fresh and peeled 15 corn tortillas 3 stalks celery 2 carrots 1 onion, whole 3 ripe avocados 8 ounces Cheddar, grated 8 ounces Jack cheese, grated Salt, pepper Salsa Sour cream and sliced black olives, for garnish

The Portal Center offers Relaxing and Recentering Yoga Therapy from 11 a.m. to noon Mondays at Mall 101 in Depoe Bay. For details, call 541-351-8461.

In large cooking pot, boil chicken in salted water with celery, carrots and onion until done -- about 20–25 minutes.

Remove from heat and separate chicken from broth. Cool chicken until able to handle. Remove skin and bones from chicken thighs and slice into small pieces.

Remove vegetables from boiled water and whirl in blender, adding the 2 chilies.

If fresh and peeled, remove stems, cut in half and remove seeds before adding to the blender, or leave if you like a little added spice. Now add the avocado. When veggies are blended, add about 3 cups of the chicken broth.

Place your baking dish close to bread board. Cover bottom of dish with 1/4 inch of the green sauce. Take one tortilla at a time and dip into the green blended sauce, shake slightly, and place flat onto clean bread board. Sprinkle a bit of the sliced chicken, some cheese and roll up.

Place these neat little tubes into your baking dish.

When all tubes are filling up dish, pour remainder of sauce over all. Cover tightly with foil or cover. Bake at 325 degrees F. for approximately 20 minutes and remove from oven. Remove lid, place remaining mixed white and cheddar cheeses evenly over casserole and return to hot oven until cheese has melted. Serve with sour cream, if desired, but the dish doesn’t need it. Serves 8 liberally.

For the fresh: Roast them over fire on all sides until browned. Place into a paper or plastic bag and then de-skin them, slice them open and de-seed them. For canned, simply open the can and drain.

Stuff each chile with a slice of the rectangular cheese. Roll each chile in plain flour and set aside.

To prepare the batter:

beat 3 egg whites until soft peaks appear. In another bowl beat until creamy (20 -30 seconds) 3 egg yolks with 3 tablespoons flour and 1 tablespoon water – also add a little bit of sea salt. Now, fold these two egg mixtures very gently together.

On a small flat dessert size plate, place about 1/4 cup of batter. Now, slide a chile onto that same plate, put more batter on top, and then slide it into the hot oil. Do some more chiles the same way (depending on your of pan size). Fry each side until golden brown.

Note: when turning them over, use a fork to lift gently on one side and another fork to carefully roll them over. After chiles have been cooked, place them briefly onto layered paper towels. Serve with Salsa and sour cream.
