The Lincoln County School District also suffered the loss Saturday, April 5, of Waldport High senior and Tidewater resident Makala Marie Osborn, 18, who was killed when her car plunged off a cliff into the Alsea River seven miles east of Waldport.

“Our school community is grieving at this unspeakable loss of two bright young people,” LCSD Superintendent Tom Rinearson said.

Depoe Bay City Councilor Barbara Leff is sounding the alarm about the future of a key economic driver in the City. Leff is worried about the Depoe Bay Bridge.

“The bridge is a key to our successful survival,” she said. “It fuels our economy, JEREMY C.

efficiently. Without it, our options are quite limited.”

According to the Oregon Department of Transportation, the traffic volume averages 8,500 to 9,000 vehicles per day over the bridge.

Leff is raising questions about the preservation and maintenance of the bridge built in 1927.

“I want to know that the bridge remains safe to drive over, that it can survive a big earthquake and tsunami, and that it is receiving the

continuing maintenance it needs to sustain its use over many years,” Leff said.

In the early 2000s, there was a rockslide just south of Depoe Bay that closed Highway 101 for some time.

According to Leff, the closure drastically impacted the Depoe Bay economy.

Man rescued from Roads End cliff JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A 27-year-old Portland man was rescued by law enforcement crews at Roads End Friday, April 4, after it was reported he fell from a cliff.

North Lincoln Fire & Rescue (NLFR), Lincoln City Police, Oregon State Parks and the U.S. Coast Guard were called at about 2:15 p.m. to the trailhead at Logan Road, where emergency crews established a command center and attempted to determine how to reach the victim and what his condition was.

A Coast Guard helicopter spotted the man on rocks in a remote cove and radioed the command center that he appeared not to be in any stress.

NLFR crews sent a jet skier into the water from the beach below in an attempt to reach the cove.

Crews on the beach also started hiking in that direction and another rescue crew began hiking up the trail from Logan Road. Increasing tides prevented the jet ski from reaching the man.

The man, identified as Nate Lamins, was able to climb about 200 feet up to the trail on his own and meet rescuers. He was not injured.

“I walked up the beach into the cove and sat down on the rocks to enjoy the sunshine,” Lamins said.

A professional tax preparation service can help you file your quarterly or annual tax returns.

W O H TO

l

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

There are many tax preparers who are honest. They provide excellent service to their clients. Others, unfortunately, are less than scrupulous.

Ch e They can cause their clients legal and financial nightmares. The IRS is in f oo the process of requiring professional tax preparers to register, pass a compese a tax pro tency test and meet continuing education requirements. The State of Oregon does this for all preparers working in Oregon.

Before hiring a tax preparer, consider verifying that they will represent you if you are audited by the IRS. Ask about the preparer’s audit rate and types of returns they have prepared.

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

A legitimate and reputable professional tax preparer should have: * A relationship with an organization requiring continuing education * The willingness and ability to answer all of your questions * Availability extending beyond the preparation and filing of your tax return * Specialized knowledge of your state’s tax laws in addition to federal laws * Familiarity with any special circumstances that may apply to you * A willingness to include an itemized list of any judgment calls it has made on your behalf *A willingness to provide an in-person review of your final return Warning signs of a disreputable tax preparer may include: * Claims that they can obtain larger refunds than their competitors * Guarantees of a refund up front * A request for your signature on a blank tax form * An unwillingness to sign a return, known as ‘ghost” preparation. * Complaints filed with the State Board of Accountancy It is important to check on your preparer’s as well as the firm’s credentials. The Better Business Bureau will inform you if they have dubious reputations. For more verification, contact your state’s board of accountancy or your state bar association’s tax lawyers to research a preparer’s professional record.

The best tax professional has a proven track record of competence, a stellar reputation and an attitude of respect for their clients. It is your financial and legal status at stake. The preparer should be ready and able to stand beside you and behind their work if you ever need to appear for an audit.

The North Lincoln Fire & Rescue water rescue team conducted its first ocean training of the year at Roads End April 2. Team members used jet skies with rescue boards approaching a ‘victim’ in the water. Timing is critical in such ocean rescues. Each jet ski operator has to calculate the waves and then carefully grab the victim using the momentum of the ski and the victim’s body weight to pull the subject to the rescue board and back to shore.

Council moves slowly with VRD regulation review JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

While they might not have reached consensus on specific regulations to deal with vacation rental dwellings (VRDs), members of the Lincoln City City Council have better defined a direction toward balancing public safety, livability of neighborhoods and economic growth.

During a special twohour meeting Monday, April 7, devoted to the one issue of VRD regulation deliberations, the Council went through a number of proposed regulations developed over the past several months.

One issue, that of posting VRD properties when ownership transfer occurs, drew considerable Council discussion about how the public should be noti-

I

“

don’t want people to have a sense that we have made our minds up and that we are not going to try and be fair with the process.

“

- Gary Ellingson, Lincoln City City Councilor fied when such a change occurs. There was also discussion about public notification when a VRD license comes up for renewal.

Councilor Wes Ryan supported the idea of making sure people had access to VRD property owners or representations if there was an issue with the rental dwelling.

“I don’t think

there is an issue with having the contact information especially if there is a problem at the site,” he said. “I agree a sign on the house would be sufficient.

I don’t see any reason to do this through a mailing.”

Councilor Roger Sprague agreed.

“A notice on the door is adequate,” Sprague said.

“I don’t think we need to

be charging a fee or making a mailing.”

The Council also discussed a Yes/No VRD zones proposal, but came to no final decisions.

“What we have been trying to do is break down barriers,” Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson said. “I remind Council there are a lot tools on the table and I ask the Council to be wide open in your thinking. We are not tied to any one ordinance.”

But Anderson also said the process of deciding what regulations are necessary is challenging.

“This is a tough way to have a discussion,” Anderson said. “But I don’t know any other way to do this.

I don’t know if we have come up with much in this session. I hope this hasn’t been completely wasted. I am wide open to ideas.”

The Council agreed

to meet again in another two-hour session from 3 to 5 p.m. April 21 to continue the VRD deliberations.

“I think we have brought up more questions than we have answered,” Ryan said. “I think the real issue is, are we going to allow multiple ownership of the VRDs? That is a big issue.”

Ryan said he is also concerned about enforcing any regulations the Council might adopt.

“How do we police the owners without putting so much government in our lives,” he said. “That’s really the key.”

Councilor Gary Ellingson said the Council must decide if there is any merit to the Yes/No zones allowing VRDs in specific areas of the City.

“Once that is decided, then the other aspects

The Oregon Coast Community College (OCCC) Board is expected to announce its selection of a new president April 16.

The board narrowed the list of candidates in early March to four finalists – Bruce Koike, OCCC interim president and the college’s previous aquarium science program director; Robert Mohrbacher, Big Bend Community College vice president of instruction and student services in Moses Lake, Wash; Birgitte Ryslinge, Portland Community College interim president and chief academic officer at the Rock Creek campus; and David Smith, Colorado Northwestern Community College vice president of instruction and student services.

were held in mid-March for each of the four candidates.

“I wrote summary comments for the board with information on how each candidate was perceived and I included comments from the public,” OCCC search consultant Jon Carnahan said.

He called the presidential search selection process comprehensive.

“The board wanted to be transparent and involve the staff and the community,” he said.

should feel good about the process.”

The pay for the president is based on a salary survey conducted

by Carnahan of all 17 of the community colleges in Oregon. The board has approved salary of between $125,000 and $130,000.

“We are looking for a leader who has experience working in a small community and will be involved in the com-

munity and college,” Carnahan said. “But the big issue is accreditation.

The college needs to be independently accredited and the new president will need to help lead the way.”

The new president will fill the post vacated by Patrick O’Connor, who retired in 2012. Koike has been serving as the college’s interim president.

of what has been talked about could start to fall into place,” he said. “Then answers to accessory use and the number of days of operation, multiple ownerships, all of that, would fall out and we could deal with those subjects.”

Ellingson also stressed that the Council had not discussed the proposed VRD regulations with each other privately.

“I don’t want people to have a sense that we have made our minds up and that we are not going to try and be fair with the process,” he said. “This issue has gone on a lot longer than I had hoped, but we want to do a good job with this and I hope people will give us the chance.”

Voices of Lincoln County Candidate forums benefit election process A couple of months ago, I had written that not enough candidates had entered the race for either of the open seats on the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners. At that point, just one candidate, the incumbent, had filed for position 1, and only two candidates, including me, had filed for position 3. Subsequently, more candidates did file for each of these open seats.

One additional candidate is now running for position 1, and two additional candidates, including the incumbent, are now running for position 3.

Under the change to a nonpartisan board of commissioners approved by voters last November, if a candidate receives more than 50 percent of votes cast for a position in the May primary election, that person is elected. If no candidate receives more than 50 percent for a position, the two candidates with the most votes for that position move into the November general election.

One thing that can benefit the election process is candidate forums.

These forums provide an opportunity to assess the candidates beyond the usual campaign mailers or special-interest endorsements. At this point, two

candidate forums are scheduled for later this month. One sponsored by the Greater Newport Chamber of Commerce, and the other by the League of Women Voters of Lincoln County.

Perhaps one or two more candidate forums can be held by other local groups or organizations before the May primary election.

Dial-a-Ride Discounts I wonder why the Dial A Ride doesn’t give priority to disabled seniors needing transportation to medical appointments.

It seems that rides to go shopping or to go to work take precedence unless someone can schedule medical appointments a month in advance.

Why do I care? I care because I am a senior recovering from a shoulder replacement. When I needed to change an appointment for physical therapy from the existing time to a new time I was told there weren’t any spaces left and that I needed to schedule medical appointments a month in advance. This isn’t possible until my surgeon sees me and requests more therapy.

Many people are going

shopping while I have to take a cab to my medical appointments. This doesn’t seem right to me.

Don’t renew GE’s tax dodges We the People should not have to pay taxes while corporations masquerading as persons get away with paying nothing.

General Electric, one of the worst corporate tax dodgers has managed to pay zero federal income taxes over five recent years, thanks to big tax loopholes and clever accounting. We individuals pay more in taxes each year than GE paid on $27 billion in profits over those five years.

GE and other corporations have a small army of lobbyists in Washington, DC now, because some of its most profitable tax loopholes have just expired. These antique sounding loopholes known as the “active financing” loophole and the CFC look through rule - let General Electric and other big corporations avoid paying their U.S. taxes when they shift profits and jobs to offshore tax havens.

Sen. Ron Wyden (DOR) now chairs the Senate Finance Committee and is about to have his com-

mittee vote on a plan that would bring back these two loopholes. If they are revived, they will cost individuals $80 billion via our taxes over the next 10 years.

Tell Sen. Wyden we the people must not go further into debt to keep tax loopholes open for profitable, tax-dodging corporations like GE. Paco Maribona Lincoln City

The need for a chaplain A friend of mine, Viki, lay dying at our hospital March 3 of this year. She was unconscious when I entered the room. Her son mentioned that he would like a chaplain. One of the nurses tried three or four numbers before she reached someone.

I was wrong in assuming that our Lincoln City hospital had a chaplain on call who would be available at times like this. I’ve heard there are doctors who are on call – so why not chaplains? Viki did not need a doctor, neither did her family or friends. We needed a chaplain.

Many hospitals have hospice chaplains, including the one here in Lincoln City. They are hired to be on call when someone in hospice is dying.

However, my friend Viki was not in hospice, and

there was no chaplain on call from the hospital who could come be with us in Viki’s last hours of life.

Even if a part-time on call chaplain had been able to come after she passed, it would have been comforting for Viki’s family, regardless of the chaplain’s religious affiliation.

It is too late for my dear friend, and those of us who grieve her death, but hopefully, Samaritan North Lincoln will consider hiring a part-time chaplain who can be there for the very real spiritual needs of those in the community.

DLWID vacancy The Devils Lake Water Improvement District has a vacancy on their board due to a resignation.

Hopefully, this board will take into consideration the concerns many of us have. Is it possible that the current board and lake manager should reevaluate their policies as we now have a green algae filled lake that has lasted since last summer?

Train for evacuation from your workplace or home. Everyone should know where high ground is located, especially those who live, work, or recreate in tsunami inundation zones. Training on evacuation routes may sound foolish to many of us, but when the disaster strikes and we are not prepared, who will be foolish then?

Volunteer and become more involved. Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT) are just one way to receive valuable training on preparing for and surviving a variety of emergencies. Learning about your communities’ response capabilities and of neighbors who may need your assistance in the event of an emergency can be extremely

beneficial to you and others.

Volunteering with your local fire department is another great way to become more involved and help your community in the event of an emergency. You can also receive beneficial training by volunteering with local police departments, the American Red Cross, and other organizations who provide assistance in times of emergencies.

There are volunteer opportunities with your Sheriff’s Office as amateur radio operators, and volunteering for Emergency Management and Search & Rescue.

become sore and inflamed after a cold or sinus infection. Although removing the tonsils used to be common practice, we now have ways to ease the symptoms of tonsillitis without removing them.

However, a new problem I see in children is related to sleep-related breathing disorders, where enlarged tonsils can cause obstructive sleep apnea, which is a serious condition. For children with sleep apnea, removing tonsils and adenoids may improve symptoms.

Chronic ear infections may also trouble children who have allergies, as well as those in daycare or school where colds are very common. Children who are exposed to tobacco smoke are also at a higher risk for ear infections. Although ear infections can be treated with medication, chronic ear infections may lead to hearing loss in children. When that happens, surgery to place ear tubes may be recommended. The tubes create better drainage within the ear, preventing future infection and helping children continue with their normal learning and development.

Ear, nose and throat specialists, otherwise known as ENT or otolaryngologists, are doctors who have further training in treating conditions of the head and neck. For kids, that usually means illnesses such as allergies, chronic ear infections and tonsillitis.

Treating children’s allergies early can help prevent more bothersome sinus conditions. A blood test can check for airborne and food allergies. Once the offending agents are identified, treatment options range from oral medications to prescription nasal sprays to allergy drops. Allergy drops are similar to allergy shots; however, they are taken by mouth rather

If your child is suffering from a chronic ear, nose or throat condition, ask your child’s primary care provider if seeing an ENT could help.

Depoe Bay Port to be dredged this summer T

“

Depoe Bay is now at the top of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers list for port dredging this year, according to City officials.

“This is great news,” Depoe Bay City Councilor Barbara Leff said. “I would have preferred this to happen a year sooner, but I am really happy the dredging will be done this summer.”

Depoe Bay City Council President Zeke Olsen credited Mayor A.J. Mattila for leading the way to get federal approval and funding the dredging project.

“The dredging will happen because of the perseverance of the mayor,” Olsen said. “He was relentless and focused in getting this done.”

“The dredging will increase the depth of the harbor so that the fuel dock will be accessible and all fishing and charter boats can come and go safely,” Mattila said.

“This is very important to Depoe Bay.” Olsen said he expects the port dredging to begin in July.

“This is huge economically for Depoe Bay,” he said.

“Without our port operating effectively the whole town would suffer.”

According to Portland District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Public Affairs Specialist Michelle Helms, a hydraulic cutterhead dredge will be used at Depoe Bay. “The contract pipeline dredge will remove approximately 10,000 cubic yards of material,” she said. “It should take 10-15 days to complete the work.”

Helms said the dredge uses hydraulic slurry to transport material through a pipeline to the designated placement site. The hydrau-

Dredging at the Port of Depoe Bay is expected to begin in July. lic cutterhead dredge is the most common and versatile of the hydraulic dredges, which has a rotating cutter on the end of the ladder used to dislodge consolidated material to improve

dredge performance. A series of dredge pumps move the slurry from the cutterhead through a pipe and to the final placement site. The barge could be selfpropelled, or moved around

by a small power boat or by using winches and anchors.

Federal officials announced in March that Depoe Bay would receive $380,000 for the dredging project.

Helms said the Corps mission is to maintain safe, reliable channels, harbors and waterways to support national security and for use by commercial and recreational mariners.

Lincoln, four other counties to receive federal storm aid

THE NEWS GUARD

President Obama has issued a disaster declaration for Oregon to help recover from damage caused by the severe winter storm in February 2014. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is providing financial assistance for emergency work, and repairs or replacement of public infrastructure in Benton, Lane, Lincoln and Linn counties.

The majority of the damages were to public utilities as a result of snow, ice, winds and flooding in the affected counties. The Oregon Office of Emergency Management (OEM) will continue to work closely with the affected counties during the recovery process that will include mitigation efforts against future disasters.

The Presidential declaration triggers release of federal funds and activates assistance programs. OEM

will coordinate between the affected public infrastructures owners, counties and FEMA, OEM Director Dave Stuckey said.

“The State and FEMA will be working with counties to assist with the recovery efforts,” he said. “FEMA and OEM will work together to administer the funding, and expects to open a joint field office in Salem this month.”

According to the declaration, additional designations may be

made at a later date if requested by the State and warranted by the results of further damage assessments. Federal funding will be available to utilities and other impacted entities to develop and implement projects focusing on the reduction of future risk.

Declarations make federal funding available to state and eligible local governments and certain private nonprofit organizations for emergency work and the

repair or replacement of damaged facilities. Funding is also available for projects involving hazard mitigation.

OEM coordinates the State Hazard Mitigation Program to assist in preventing or reducing long-term risk to life and property from natural hazards.

Missing man investigation leads to arrest THE NEWS GUARD

An arrest has been made in the investigation of a missing Lincoln County man, but as of April 8, the search for Michael Ryan Lanpheare continued.

Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a report of a nude male covered in blood along Highway 101 in Seal Rock at about 7 a.m. on April 2.

The subject was identified as Donald Richard Lawyer III, 35, from Pennsylvania. Deputies determined Lawyer was possi-

bly under the influence of drugs and displayed minor injuries.

Lawyer was uncooperative and was transported to the Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport. Lawyer was treated for minor injuries and hypothermia. A medical evaluation determined he was under the influence of controlled substances.

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

to the hospital for a mental health evaluation. Following the evaluation, Lawyer was arrested and lodged at the Lincoln County Jail for disorderly conduct in the second degree with bail set at $10,000.

Officials said further investigation into the circumstances of Lawyer’s conduct in Seal Rock revealed he was connected to the disappearance of Lanpheare, 37, of Newport.

The Lincoln County Major Crime Team was activated and a search was conducted of the beach and surf area of Seal Rock

near Seal Rock State Park.

Lincoln County Search and Rescue, The U.S. Coast Guard and State Parks Department assisted the Major Crime Team in the efforts to locate Lanpheare, which was unsuccessful.

The investigation, statements made by Lawyer, and search of the area produced evidence, that led to the arrest of Lawyer for manslaughter in the second degree with bail set at $300,000.

The search for Lanpheare continues with emphasis along the Lincoln County shoreline.

FBI seeks suspected child sexual predator THE NEWS GUARD

The FBI is seeking the public’s assistance in identifying an unknown male suspected of sexually exploiting a child.

Photographs and informational posters depicting the unknown individual, known only as John Doe 28, have been disseminated to the public across the country and can be found online at http://www.fbi.gov/ wanted/ecap.

Initial images and video of the unidentified adult male engaging in sexually explicit activities with a child were first recorded by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in November 2012.

Investigators for the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children have successfully enhanced

images depicting John Doe 28 and believe they contain several clues, which might assist with the subject’s identification. For example, the video depicts the subject and the victim inside a residence with what appears to be a blue sofa chair and a picture hanging on a wall in the background. Additionally, the subject is wearing wireframed glasses and a burgundy T-shirt with what appears to be a shark logo on the left side.

There are no specific details linking the suspect to a particular state or region of the country and his identity and whereabouts are unknown.

The suspect appears to be a white man, possibly in his 30s or 40s, with a receding hairline. Anyone with information should submit a tip online at https://tips.fbi.gov/ or

Lincoln City to enlist new police officer JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Jayne Johnson will be sworn in April 14 as the Lincoln City Police Department’s newest officer.

Johnson was selected from an initial pool of 86 applicants following a testing process that included a

written examination, oral board interview process, physical fitness test, a Chief’s interview, a background investigation, a medical examination, and psychological assessment.

Although not a certified police officer, Johnson, of Clackamas, is no stranger to law enforcement or the

criminal justice system, Lincoln City Police Chief Keith Kilian said.

Johnson has volunteered her time with the Gladstone Emergency Management Support Team supervised by Gladstone Police Chief Jim Pryde. She also volunteers for the Clackamas County Victim’s Assistance Office,

where she is an advocate for victims of violent crimes.

“Jayne has a great demeanor and is very enthusiastic,” Kilian said. “Her personality and enthusiasm is contagious. I am proud to have Jayne as the newest member of our team at LCPD.” With the hiring of John-

son, the Lincoln City Police Department has a staff of 17 officers, one school resource officer, four sergeants, three detectives, one lieutenant and a chief.

“With Johnson’s hiring, we still have one vacancy to fill,” Kilian said. “The vacancies are not new positions, but backfills.’

Kilian said Officer Sean Bishop left Lincoln City Police in August 2013. The remaining vacancy is due to Officer Rudy Blum’s retirement, Kilian said.

Johnson’s public ceremony will be held at 2 p.m. on the third floor of Lincoln City Hall, 801 S.W. Highway 101.

Over the past year, hundreds of women from the Corvallis Oregon Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have been gathering items for homeless individuals in Lincoln County through a project called Dignity Drive.

Leaders in the Newport Relief Society, a women’s organization within the church and women from Corvallis, Waldport, and Philomath, have led the effort.

Donated items include 40 handmade tied quilts, 131 blankets, 48 backpacks, 160 pair of underwear, 560 pairs of socks, 260 school notebooks and more than 100 packages of crayons.

In addition, sleeping bags, toys, food, pillowcases, hygiene kits and clothing were gathered for the drive. All ages were involved. Teenagers learned to tie quilts as part of their participation in the project while college-aged women sewed pillowcases. Younger children gathered socks and underwear.

Recipient organizations included Homeless Education and Literacy Project (HELP), the Samaritan House, Lincoln County Foster Care, and Lincoln County Mental Health. Cristina Simpson,

“The care room is a place where students come who need some extra support as they are dealing with the loss,” LCSD Safety Coordinator Sue Graves said. “It’s a place where students can go and share thoughts and memories and write cards and notes to the family. The crisis room workers are really good listeners in a safe, caring environment.”

School and District officials asked that the media not take pictures or interview students during the daylong process. Teachers and staff were asked not to comment.

According to Oregon State Police (OSP), Cayden was driving a 1995 Ford Ranger pickup with his passenger/father, Bryan Fitch, 43, an OSP trooper out of Newport Area Command who was off duty when the crash occurred.

Cayden Fitch was pronounced dead at the scene.

His father was transported by ambulance to Salem Hospital, where he remained Tuesday in serious condition at press time.

Also announced deceased at the scene was Michael Joseph Moylett, 69, the driver of a 2011 Toyota RAV4 sports utility vehicle. His passenger/ wife, Estella Moylett, 61, of Gresham, suffered serious

Fitch was honored March 9 with the highest rank a Boy Scout can achieve during a crowded ceremony at The Eventuary, where Loren Nordyke, his scoutmaster in Troop 47, and others, pronounced him an Eagle Scout.

“It’s a tragedy for the family and for the community,” Nordyke, a firefighter with North Lincoln Fire & Rescue, said. “I have known Cayden for quite a few years, even before Cub Scouts, and his dad from being with the fire department and working around him. Cayden had goals of where he wanted to go in life, and that is where he was headed, at least for the near future. I’m so very sorry it happened.”

“The bridge is in satisfactory condition,” he said. “ODOT deems this bridge to be safe. If the bridge were not safe, it would not be open to traffic.”

ODOT has done seismic retrofits of bridges that were built prior to modern seismic design standards being implemented. In 1996, the arch span of the Depoe Bay Bridge had a seismic retrofit below each of the deck joints, consisting of cables and turnbuckles.

“This is to minimize the relative motion of the deck sections with each other during an earthquake,” Little said. “As we move forward with more extensive seismic retrofit projects, this bridge

According to OSP, at approximately 7:04 p.m. on April 4, OSP Northern Command Center dispatch received information from Polk County 9-1-1 of a two vehicle head-on crash on Highway 22 near milepost 10 west of Van Well Road.

ODOT does have a $70,000 thin-bonded overlay of the bridge programmed for this year. Little said state money would cover that cost.

The thin-bonded overlay seals the deck from harsh materials and provides a significant extension to the life of the bridge.

“While to the average person, it may appear similar to a paving project, the overlay is much thinner than the typical pavement and may be a different material than

The SUV came to rest off the north side of the road in bushes and trees. All occupants were using safety restraints and both vehicles’ airbags deployed.

OSP troopers from the Salem and McMinnville offices are investigating, along with collision reconstructionists from OSP and the Keizer Police Department. OSP requested Keizer Police provide the crash reconstruction report to the District Attorney’s office when completed.

The Polk County District Attorney and Polk County Medical Examiner responded to the scene.

The highway was closed for about six hours with an ODOT detour in place.

Meanwhile, at approximately 4:46 p.m., on Saturday, April 5, near Waldport, witnesses reported seeing a vehicle careening down a 50foot embankment from Canal Creek Road.

The vehicle was seen upside down in the river before fully submerging. Witnesses attempted to provide assistance by boat and land but were unable to gain access to the vehicle.

Fire personnel located Osborn, a deceased female, seat-belted in the driver’s seat. She was removed from the vehicle and transported to a nearby dock. She was the sole occupant.

The cause of the crash is under investigation. Intoxicants are not suspected as a contributing factor.

In 1996, a cathodic protection project was completed at the bridge.

“The long range plan to renew the cathodic protection is for a project in 2024 or 2025,” he said. “The estimated cost is $6.4 million. This is just a planning level estimate of both time and funding required.”

Little said federal funds would be designated for that project.

request made Oct. 4, 2013, to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODWF) to reintroduce sterile grass carp into the lake.

“Our application is to get an exception to the state law that controls the use of the grass carp,” Robertson said.

The carp were used in Devils Lake in 1986 and 1987 and again in 1993.

But in the late 1990s, ODFL limited the use of the fish to protect large rivers and lakes. Robertson said the agency has yet to make a decision about the DLWID’s latest request, but remains hopeful a decision will come before the end of the year.

“They have only so much staff and they have other issues they are dealing with on a statewide level, but they have been working with us,” he said. “We have had an ongoing dialog with the agency.”

The News Guard emailed

Highway 101 • 541-994-5330 specific questions about the use of grass carp and the health of the lake to ODFW, but an agency spokesman said the responses would not be available until later this week.

Robertson cautions that the carp are not the longterm solution to the health of Devils Lake.

“They are only addressing symptoms and not the real issue,” he said. “Restoration is a slow process, and that’s what people should understand. The real message is we

have to fix the degradation.”

Robertson said the lake degradation began years ago when large stands of timber, some 250 feet tall that surrounded the lake, were cut down, a dairy operation was ongoing, and homes were developed along the lake shoreline.

“Removal of all that plant material is huge,” he said.

“Much of the shoreline has been replaced with lawns, which people add fertilizer to, but that fertilizer washes down into the lake and is harmful.”

Robertson said leaking septic tanks are also a key problem that increases nutrients and feeds the algae.

The DLWID has been working with property owners along the lake to restore the shoreline with native plants, and with the City to establish a sewer system.

“We are working every issue, every solution that we have,” Robertson said. “The funding for sewer is the main focus of discussion right now.

Devils Lake has turned green due to the increasing algae blooms growing in the water.

That has always been the obstacle. It all comes down to money.”

Lincoln City officials continue to look for funding sources for the estimated $5 million to establish the sewer

project at Devils Lake.

“We are chasing grants as a way to help fund that cost,” City Manager David Hawker said. “We don’t believe anything can happen with the sewering until we can get

the grants or unless we find another revenue source.”

On Aug. 1 2013, the Oregon Public Health Authority issued a health advisory for the lake after a proliferation of the algae blooms and associated toxins were discovered during routine monitoring.

According to health officials, the cyanotoxin concentrations found in the water can be harmful to humans and animals. Swallowing or inhaling water droplets should be avoided, and people with skin sensitivities or who are prone to rashes and other skin disorders should avoid water contact.

The lake advisory was lifted Nov. 20.

Signs have been posted since 2006, and updated over the past few years, alerting lake users of the algae blooms. From Memorial Day to Labor Day, during the peak recreational period, the DLWID routinely monitors the water to trigger any health advisory that might be necessary.

Alroy Zacarias will be among the many arms available to new Taft head coach Dusty Hankins as the undefeated Tigers fight to return to the state playoffs this season.

JIM FOSSUM/THE NEWS GUARD

Taft set to make run at state playoff berth JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

With just a handful of seniors and early uncertainty surrounding the depth of its pitching staff, you’d think a top-10 state ranking entering league play would be surprising to first-year Taft High baseball head coach Dusty Hankins.

Not necessarily, he says.

“This group of kids expects to win games and they’re living up to their

expectations,” he said. “That’s what’s important to me.”

The Tigers are undefeated at 6-0-1 (a 3-3 tie due to darkness will be completed Friday at Tillamook) with the Oregon West Conference opener slated Tuesday, April 8, at home against Stayton (past The News Guard’s print deadline; see thenewsguard.com).

Senior ace Seth Steere was scheduled to start that game

and junior Randy Herndon a Thursday road game against the Eagles (4-3). The Tigers entered Tuesday’s game having outscored their nonleague opponents, 64-11.

“We’re starting to settle in,” Hankins said following the latest triumph, a 13-2 six-inning win Wednesday at Warrenton. “Everybody is starting to understand their role and what’s going on.”

Baseball

Taft tallied nine runs in the second inning to take command behind five pitchers who threw about an inning each, with Cade Knott notching the win.

“We tried to give everybody a final little tune-up to get ready for league, and just spread it out and gave the bullpen a chance to get a little bit of live action,” Hankins said. “We’re a little deeper in pitching than first anticipated, so that’s a good situation to have.”

Grant Prins got the start for Taft, and was relieved by Knott, who benefited from the big second inning, Charlie Zeller, Joe Salsbery and Herndon also threw. Encouraging, too, has been the pitching of Alroy Zacarias, Hankins said.

The Tigers also have responded well at the plate in preseason with a team batting average hovering around .400, a major improvement over the .260 or so the club hit entering league play last season.

Leadoff hitter Rylan Fish-

er, Austin Brown, Steere, Knott and Zeller had two hits apiece for Taft against Warrenton in a 14-hit attack.

“It’s good to see we can put up some runs in a hurry,” Hankins said.

Hankins also has brought an aggressive approach to the game by moving runners around and forcing the action in the early going.

“We want to make the other team prove they can make the play instead of assuming they can,” he said.

Taft senior Emily Broderick has teamed with junior Katie McCardell to make the Tigers one of the chief contenders for an Oregon West Conference playoff spot in 2014.

Seventh-ranked Tigers win twice, set for league play defense grabbed up a lot of hard-hit Taft balls,” Broderick said. “The girls stuck to their bats, though, going out in the sixth knowing we needed to manufacture some runs, and that’s just what they did.”

Taft won the game in the sixth when McCardell reached on an error and Broderick bunted for a single on a sacrifice attempt.

Outfielder Charlie Haft then hit a hard shot down the left side that gave the Tigers the lead.

Taft collected 11 hits, led by shortstop Hanna Ray, who was 3-for-4 and also reached on a fielder’s choice. Outfielder Taylor

Adams and catcher Kietra Mason had two hits each.

Taft started the week on Tuesday, April 1, with a 9-0 victory over Gervais, this time with McCardell starting in the circle and Broderick coming on in relief. They combined for 13 strikeouts, no walks and just one hit in the shutout win with flawless defense behind them.

Taft also benefited from 12 walks or hit batsmen.

“So, we didn’t see a lot of good pitches,” Broderick said.

Tom Trunt, left, and Jack Wilkinson each served 28 years as coaches at Taft High School.

Retired coaches look back on 28 years at Taft

JIM FOSSUM jfossum@countrymedia.net

I

t’s a brisk, but clear, calm afternoon at the Taft High softball field, where a spattering of fans gather to watch the Tigers take the field in a somewhat meaningless nonconference game.

Still, there stands Tom Trunt, leaning against a chain-link fence down the first base line.

And, look, over there sits Jack Wilkinson in a folding lawn chair beside the Taft dugout.

Seldom, it seems, aren’t they around.

When it comes to Tiger sports, Trunt and Wilkinson are fixtures at Taft games in several sports. Have been for about 35 years now. Of course, the scenery has changed.

What hasn’t is that the 71-year-old Trunt and 63-year-old Wilkinson remain deans emeritus of Taft High School sports, having both coached the Tigers for 28 years.

“I love the game,” Trunt, head softball coach from 1984 to 2007, said. “I loved all the young ladies I had the privilege of coaching. I still coach a little when asked.”

Wilkinson, too, attends virtually every game. Taft’s head football coach from 1982 to 2009 comes to see his sophomore daughter, Kelsey, play center field like few others in the state. He coached his star quarterback son, John, in his final four seasons at Taft.

Together, Trunt and Wilkinson comprise a virtual walking, talking history book on the school dating to the early 1980s.

Trunt moved to Lincoln City in 1972 to become manager of Salishan Leaseholders, Inc., where he stayed 40-plus years before retiring on New Year’s Eve 2012. Born in Seattle, he moved to Coos Bay in 1957,

where he graduated from Marshfield High School in 1961.

Wilkinson grew up in Newport and graduated as an all-state football player in 1969, when he played in the East-West Shrine Game. He attended Treasure Valley Community College in Ontario for two years before transferring to Southern Oregon University, where he starred on the offensive line before graduating in 1974 with a degree in education.

Since then, much has happened. While taking some time to reminisce, the coaches offered some insights into some of the many changes on and off the field.

Not all are good, they said.

“Trying to compare changes in players athletically and academically is very difficult because circumstances have contributed to the differences,” Trunt said.

“One of the biggest impacts on both was the passage of Measure 5, which altered the way we fund our school systems. It lessened the quality of education and eliminated middle-school sports [which recently have been reinstated]. It took away our ability to decide how much we were willing to pay to educate our kids.”

Wilkinson also has witnessed change he considers not necessarily for the better.

“I think the current grading system falls far short of helping our students understand life and its demands,” he said. “Learning is hard work, and the work shouldn’t be sugarcoated with incompletes, and the chance to take tests over and over again is not like life and unacceptable at most colleges and universities. There is much to learn from A’s and B’s, and there is often

times more to be learned from F’s and our failures.”

The present academic system has left both coaches perplexed.

“Academically, I’m not sure what to think,” Trunt said. “During my tenure as coach, at least 60 percent of my players made the honor roll. Not once in 28 years did I have to sit a player because of grades.”

“I don’t think students-athletes have actually changed within their inner core,” Wilkinson said. “They still have dreams of the game-winning home run or a diving catch in the end zone, and we are willing to invest in their dreams with hard work, long hours and commitment to the team. Where there’s been change is in the information that is available. Some of the information helps build student-athletes’ chances, while other information can tear apart and destroy those dreams.”

Trunt concurs.

“The advent of social media, cell phones and video games have taken away the incentive for students to address their school work in a timely fashion,” he said. “It’s hard for me to comprehend the number of students who can’t seem to get their homework finished and turned in.

The good student will always succeed with whatever is offered. It is the potentially good students I worry about.”

Trunt coached his three oldest daughters as starters on his 1982 team. The Tigers were league champion 11 times and went to the playoffs 12 times, winning the state championship in 2005.

The five seniors who helped comprise Trunt’s title team – affectionately known as “The Five Amigos” – all graduated from college and have enjoyed successful careers, he said.

“Athletically, our high school programs are only as good as the community feeder programs that prepare athletes for high school play,” he said. “Unfortunately, too much emphasis is placed on playing games and winning than on taking the time to teach basic skills. Trying to teach basic skills in high school is counterproductive to the success of the program.”

Wilkinson’s teams, constantly confronting deficiencies in numbers and size, went to the playoffs four times – in 1994, 1997, 1999 and 2003, after going 5-4 in his first season in 1982.

Perhaps his biggest playoff win came in 1999 when the Tigers met Marist in a firstround game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene.

Playing the entire game without a penalty and moving 65 yards downfield without a pass on the final drive, the Tigers went for a two-point conversion with no time left after missing the game-tying extra point when the Spartans were whistled for too many players on the field. Final score: Taft 22, Marist 21.

Other highlights, Wilkinson said, come not in the form of great team victories, but individual triumphs.

“Many times the individual victories come over the course of four years,” he said.

“An individual coming in as a freshman wanting to be a wide receiver who was slow and could not catch a ball, then leaving the football program as a senior and first-team, all-league, offensive line. Another young man coming in as a 5-6 freshman and 300 pounds and having a hard time getting through the daily workouts and then leaving the football program as a first-team, all-league center.”

Aaah, the memories.

No one has enjoyed more at Taft.

At The Top: Osprey return to new home Moving your entire house from one place to another can be quite a project and might take days, even weeks. But for one Lincoln City family, it only took about an hour.

An osprey family that called the top of a light pole home at Taft High 7-12 was assisted in the move by the Lincoln County School District.

Several months ago, a pair of osprey built a nest on top of one of the southeast light poles at Voris Field. As part of an improvement project, district crews removed old lights that surround the football field April 1. Before they replaced the lights on the osprey pole, Rich Belloni, Lincoln County School

District director of Support Services, coordinated the nest project with the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife.

“We wanted to make sure the birds wouldn’t be laying eggs,” he said.

As the crew carefully moved the nest, they encountered an unexpected challenge.

“We had a crane lower the pole with the nest, but

the nest fell apart while we were moving it,” Belloni said. “We picked it all up, placed it on the new platform with fresh sod and tied it down. The crew then lifted the pole with the new lights and the osprey nest and put it in place.”

Belloni said the osprey returned to the nest within 20 minutes after the pole went up.

A rebuilt nest sits on the top of a light pole.

“It was pretty cool,” he said.

Belloni said making sure the osprey home was rebuilt and replaced was an important part of the $150,000 lighting project.

“There are many people who watch the birds,” he said. “They have to have a place to live and this project wasn’t a hard thing to do. It was the right thing to do. It was a good partnership between the district and the osprey.”

This isn’t the first time the Lincoln County School District partnered with the birds.

Newport festival celebrates the art of papermaking JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Newport Paper Arts Festival is a celebration of papermaking, surface embellishment, bookmaking, bindings, articles made of paper and techniques and tools for working with paper and fibers.

“It is fascinating how many things are made out of paper,” Sally Houck, of Oregon Coast Council For The Arts, said. “It is absolutely artwork.”

Houck said the event is the only paper festival of its kind on the Oregon Coast and draws people from all over the Northwest and beyond.

“There are so many people interested in papermaking and making books,” she said.

“We offer a whole series of papermaking and using paper classes during the festival.”

The Newport Paper Arts Festival celebrates papermaking and offers public workshops.

COURTESY PHOTO

The festival, sponsored by Oregon Coast Council for the Arts, will be held April 1113, and features 17 workshops taught by 14 instructors. All workshops are scheduled from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 1:30 to 4:30 p.m., with an hour for lunch.

A showcase at the Performing Arts Center is filled with photos and samples of the various projects offered in this year’s workshops.

In its 19th year, the annual festival features three days of innovative, informative and exciting workshops in Newport at the Visual Arts Center and other locations, with one workshop held in Toledo, Houck said.

Despite the onset of social media, she said the interest in the art of papermaking continues to grow.

“This is an art form that has not gone away,” she said. “People continue to learn new technology to make books, greeting cards and other paper art. This is much more than just papermaking.”

Along Garden Paths

By Karen Brown

April showers, April flowers Now that spring is officially here, take a look around at all the wonderful color popping out. You’d have to walk your garden path with your eyes closed to not appreciate the beauty of our area. Even on a gray rainy day, the colors sparkle.

Rhododendrons are starting to bloom all around us. If you want to enjoy an unusual number of them all in one place, take a walk around the Connie Hansen Garden this month or next. Find this local gem at 1930 N.W. 33rd St., Lincoln City. People keep telling me they didn’t know it was there, so tell newcomers and neighbors. The garden is open every day during daylight hours for your enjoyment, and if you’d enjoy talking with the volunteers who maintain it, come on Tuesday or Saturday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Better yet, come help for a bit. Watch for some special garden speakers this spring, too.

Rhododendrons are especially well adapted to growing in our climate, preferring cool summers, rainy winters and moderate sunshine.

Particularly poor soils appreciate the addition of some minerals in the form of dry fertilizer applied at label rates lightly over the entire root zone.

Since our soil is quite acid naturally, you can use an all purpose plant food or choose a balanced organic product.

Products especially made for rhodies and other shrubs are also available.

The fine roots of rhodies are located in a shallow area as large as the spread of the top. Don’t dig or cultivate in that area except perhaps to remove one by one any brave weeds that try to establish there, and don’t scratch the fertilizer into the soil. Water right away after applying, then trust rain to dissolve it into the root zone.

Even though the combination of the shade created by the big leaves and the density of those roots keep most weeds from sprouting under the bushes, a mulch over the root zone is always welcome. New roots will extend upward into the mulch as it breaks down.

If you need to prune rhododendrons to control size or shape, do it as soon as the blooms fade. This will allow time for new growth to be mature enough to set plenty of buds for next year.

If you like to remove spent flowers, break off or remove just the little spike that supported the head of flowers.

Buds for new growth are located right at the base. Deadheading is not necessary, but it does make the planting look tidier.

Winter blooming heathers will finish their bloom soon, and should be clipped back right away. I found that procrastinating too long last year meant there was not much bloom this year on ours. It is best to shear them a bit every year and not wait until they are much too large, because old wood without foliage will rarely send out new growth.

Of course, along with the really fun spring growth, there are weeds happily sprouting and establishing.

Use some sunny days to remove them before they get any bigger. A layer of new mulch over cleaned soil will help discourage those millions of seeds that come from somewhere from growing into more weeds. You can always rake the mulch aside to put in the new plants you’ll probably want to add later for summer color.

In the midst of all this spring flurry, don’t forget to walk your own garden paths and revel in the beauty of spring in Western Oregon.

got that pole replaced, the birds came back there, too.”

The Taft High project included work on four light poles, adding six lights per pole with two lights on the southwest

pole that will shine on the parking lot.

“We now have 24 lights on the field and two on the parking lot,” Belloni said.

THE NEWS GUARD

The Amelia Piano Trio will perform at 3 p.m.

April 13 to help celebrate the Neskowin Chamber Music’s 20th season.

The trio, formed in 1999, first attracted national attention after participating in Isaac Stern’s Chamber Music Workshop at Carnegie Hall in 2000. As a result, Stern became a mentor to the group and presented their debut in Carnegie Hall. The group has appeared in many major halls around the country, from Seattle to New York.

Based in Corvallis, the trio performs classical pieces and new music in what one critic called “charismatic and extroverted performances.”

Members are Anthea Kreston, violin; Jason Duckles, cello; and Andrew Armstrong, piano.

THE NEWS GUARD: Tell us how you became an artist.

ANDERSON: As I mentioned, my grandfather was part of my artistic inspiration. Also, I collect fine art from various artists, masters and other fine-art photographers, e.g.

Picasso, Chagall, Dali. I love all forms of art, and in addition to creating art, I act as a curator for a gallery in Gresham. I am also a member of the Yaquina Art Association. Unfortunately, art doesn’t pay the bills, so I had two careers that got in the way before I could devote time and efforts to creating art. Much of it goes to support charity fundraisers and much of it is entered into competitions around the world. In that regard, I have several local, regional and international awards. I started working full time with my artistic efforts in 2005 when I retired as the CEO of a technology firm.
