also a time to honor those men and women who have fought to keep America free, according to Oregon Veteran Affairs Director Cameron Smith.

Neskowin Valley School to begin year-round calendar JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Beginning Sept. 8, Neskowin Valley School will launch a year-round school calendar. Students will attend school for 45 days with an interim break for 15 days.

“Not only will this yearround model be beneficial to student learning, but also will allow the school to take advantage of the summer climate for science and place based school programming,” Neskowin Valley Head of School Christiane Schau said, “A year-round school calendar is attractive to families whose students attend the school, because many parents work in tourist-based industries which are at the height of their season in June and July and they cannot take time off during these months to be with their students.”

With short interim breaks falling in May and August, Schau said families can spend time together before and after the seasonal rush. She said the decision to go to a year round school program came at the request of teachers and parents.

“Teachers and family members came to us and asked to go year round tell-

Schau said she hopes the program will increase the school’s connection to the community.

“In the summer, we have more folks at the Coast,” she said. “We hope we can engage the visitors with the school during the summer and show them how we teach our children.”

North Lincoln Fire & Rescue (NLFR) crews were called to the Roads End area for a water rescue Sunday morning, May 18.

According to a Lincoln City Police dispatcher, the call for help came at 8:54 a.m. Sunday after witnesses said the four were struggling in the water.

NLFR arrived as three of the people in distress were making their way back to shore on their own.

NLFR sent a watercraft into the ocean to help the fourth person to safety. That person was transported to Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital for treatment. The surfer’s name and condition have not been released.

Earlier this spring, NLFR launched a proactive effort encouraging visitors to come see Lincoln County’s beautiful natural scenic areas along the coastline, but also to be aware of the dangers. NLFR crews are distributing information about the ocean dangers at the D River Wayside and at the Roads End State Park to help educate beachgoers.

Lifeguards do not monitor Lincoln City beaches.

NLFR responds to an average of 35 water rescues each spring and summer.

There were four drownings in the ocean in Lincoln City in 2013.

For more information, call 503-392-3124.

Ocean rescue at Roads End JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

This year, the school marked its 40th year of operation.

“Much of it has been children of children of children,” Schau said. “We have people that come back with their children because they loved it when they were here. Much of the learning is hands-on for our students.

They build and they experience.”

The school is accepting applications for enrollment.

The News Guard office will be closed Monday, May 26 for Memorial Day

“The majority of our water rescues and the drownings involve people from out of the area who are not familiar with the Pacific Northwest coastline and the perils of the ocean,” NLFR Capt. Jim Kusz said.

NLFR is discouraging even wading in the ocean and for people seeking water fun to visit Devils Lake or the Lincoln City Community Center pool.

New parking lot for Nelscott Gap

Sheridan Jones Weather Details

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Look for a few more parking spaces in the Nelscott Gap area next winter.

The Lincoln City Urban Renewal has approved a $153,071 bid from Devils Lake Rock for a 10-space parking lot at S.W. 35th Street and Highway 101.

“The Nelscott S.W. 35th Street parking lot is designed to help offset parking needs of surrounding businesses,” Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency Assistant Director Allyson Robertson said.

City officials said they hope to have the parking lot done by fall.

The agency has also approved an upgrade for the 1st Street traffic signal.

It is a $321,000 project done by K&E Excavating of Salem and will include undergrounding of the signal and associated wires. A project to underground the overhead utilities along Highway 101 from N.W. 2nd Drive to S.W. Ebb is slated to begin next winter.

Robertson said the two projects came in over engineers’ estimated costs mainly due to competition and

the economy. The parking lot was $18,071 over and the 1st Street job was $81,000 higher.

OCCC ‘s Redford retiring after 20 years JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

Prospective students and visitors to Oregon Coast Community College’s North Lincoln County campus will witness a noticeable change from the moment they step in the door at institution of higher learning.

Longtime “do-everything” secretary Janice Redford is stepping aside after 20 years as the first face to greet you at 3788 S.E. High School Dr. “I’m moving back to the Valley to pursue my love of flower gardening with some vegetable gardening thrown in,” she said.

“Janice is an integral part of this community,” Small Business Development Center Director Dave Price said.

“That’s what makes her an integral part of this community college.”

“Janice doesn’t just help run the campus itself,” he said. “She gets to know the students that pass through the doors, whether they’re working on college biology classes in our new lab, or if they’re studying for the GED test, or taking a class through the Taft 7-12 Expanded Options program.

Everyone walking in the door gets a personalized greeting whenever she’s available, and she knows most students by name soon after the start of every term.”

Born in Marysville, Calif., Redford moved to a farm in west of Hubbard in 1948. She started working in the education field at North Marion Elementary School in 1963.

She moved to North Marion High School in 1976, and left there in 1993 to come to Lincoln City to help her mother-in-law with her travel agency, Walker Travel.

Redford worked part-time at OCCC and part time at Walker Travel for five years, sharing the OCCC job with Sharon Cox, who retired in 1999.

“When Sharon retired, I then increased my hours to full time at OCCC and left the travel agency,” she said.

“I remember the story about when the college first moved from its offices above the McMenamins Lighthouse Brewpub to the old Taft Fire Hall,” Price said. “The building was in need of a lot of work, including a paint job.

On a Saturday work party, then-OCCC president Patrick O’Connor was not looking

forward to a day of painting with a volunteer crew that appeared much smaller than he’d hoped for. Then, up pulled a van filled with people who piled out behind a brush-wielding Janice. She had pulled together a group of college supporters from her church who helped pull off the project.”

Redford, who has sons who reside in Oregon City and Vancouver, Wash., said there is little question what the biggest changes have been during her time at the college.

“The passing of the [$63 million building and improvement] bond and the construction of all three campuses,” she said. “It’s nice not to be housed in rented spaces, not only for the staff and faculty, but for the students as well.”

“Janice has seen the college through tremendous changes,” Price said.

“She hasn’t just observed these changes – she’s helped them come to pass.”

The public is invited to celebrate Redford’s years of service to OCCC and Lincoln City on from 4-6 p.m.

Sports Editor/ Reporter Jim Fossum jfossum@ countrymedia.net

Every day I feel privileged to serve as the director of the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs. After three tours in Iraq as a Marine, I find great strength and solace in continuing to serve our military and veterans’ community.

At the same time, I am humbled by the mission at hand. For the first time in history, we are serving four generations of veterans who have served in our military, fought our battles in five major wars, and stood guard over our peace.

As a state and nation, we should all feel the weight of that responsibility – perhaps no more so, than as we approach Memorial Day. If we cut through the clutter of the start of summer and screaming sales, Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to honor the memory of our fallen friends, family, and heroes.

How can we ever forget their service and sacrifice?

Across the ages, from the beaches in Europe and on Pacific islands to the mountains and jungles in Asia, countless Americans have stood up to serve and have laid down their lives. At the most basic level, they fought to protect the one on their right and the one on their left, but ultimately their fight protects us all and preserves the values we hold dear.

These families have undoubtedly lost a light in their lives, yet they recommit with great resolve to live their life in honor of their fallen service member.

Our military families do not wear the uniform, but there is no question that they also serve.

Remembering our fallen once a year is not enough. The widows, widowers, mothers, fathers, siblings, and children of these men and women remember every day.

They are reminded of that loss when seeing an empty seat at the dinner table, when that family member is missing during the holidays, and the voice of that loved one is now heard only in their memories.

Audit of excessive expenditures

My comments tie in with those of Mr. Jerry Warner in the May 14 News Guard newspaper. He no doubt had much more to say

about ‘Taxes and Streets”; however, but no space to do it. It goes without saying (or writing) that fraud, abuse, illegalities, and waste plus others starts at the “top” (or bottom) - federal government and filters down through the state government and to the county government.

This is true with all states and counties. With over 50 years of accounting and auditing and including some communications with GSA and other agencies tossed in, I have had misgivings about what goes on behind the scenes in these Government entities. Yes, I have made suggestions to “those in power” to bring in unbiased Citizen Auditing Teams, but these suggestions have gone by the wayside. Hopefully before everything crumbles from way too much over the heads of those who have always kept things afloat, Americans across the Country will step in and get excessive expenditures stopped!

What I am adding to Mr. Warner’s comments is that something needs to be done in Lincoln City as well as Lincoln County to make legitimate tax collections and legitimate and reasonable expenditures for those agenda items as budgeted.

My questions are: Why do we have a City Council when we have a Manager?

Why do we have a manager when we have a city Council or County Commissioners?

Whether one served in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East or elsewhere, veterans share a connection across the eras.

William Shakespeare wrote in Henry the Fifth about this bond between warriors: “From this day to the ending of the world, but we in it shall be remembered;­We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he today that sheds his blood with me shall be my brother.”

This Memorial Day, let us all pause to remember our fallen and their families. Let us never forget what these men and women have done and what their loved ones have lost.

We are stronger for their service and will never forget their sacrifice.

Cyclists using the streets and highways should: Never ride against traffic. It is one of the leading causes of crashes, accounting for 15% to 20% of all crashes with cars.

Keep both hands on the handlebars except when making a hand signal.

Keep both feet on the pedals.

Not carry more people at one time than the bicycle was designed for.

Not hold onto, attach themselves, or attach the bicycle to any other moving vehicle.

Only ride side by side on the road with another cyclist when it does not impede other traffic. If traffic doesn’t have enough room to pass you safely, ride single file.

Ensure the bicycle is equipped with at least one white light to the front and a red light and or red reflector mounted on the rear of the bicycle when riding between sunset and sunrise.

Ensure the bicycle has effective brakes.

our battles in five major wars, and stood guard over our peace.

As a state and nation, we should all feel the weight of that responsibility – perhaps no more so, than as we approach Memorial Day. If we cut through the clutter of the start of summer and screaming sales, Memorial Day is an opportunity for us to honor the memory of our fallen friends, family, and heroes.”

Figures from the Oregon Veterans Affairs Department show 6,103 service men and women from Oregon have died in action since the Civil War. Of those, 141 service men and women from have lost their lives since March of 2003 in the war in Iraq.

The Department lists 5,374 veterans living in Lincoln County.

Depoe Bay’s Fleet of Flowers is held each Memorial Day to honor the service men and women who have given their lives. The ceremony also recognizes fishermen, police and fire personnel who have died.

The event has been held each year since 1945. Former Fleet of Flowers Committee Chair Tanya York has been involved in the event

“When I moved to Depoe Bay in February of 1993, I met Evie Whitlock, a wonderful lady,” York said.

“She invited me to help with Fleet of Flowers and from the very first day of standing in the rain, behind the Community Hall, cutting cedar boughs to make into wreaths, I was totally hooked.”

A few years later, Whitlock passed away from cancer. But before she died, Whitlock made a request to York.

“She made me promise I’d step in for her and carry on with Fleet of Flowers,” York said. “So began 13 years of some of the greatest memories I could imagine. This touching event is brought to fruition totally

Oceanlake Planned District/ Main Street Highway zone and the Nelscott Planned District/Nelscott Business District zones to the establishment of medical pot dispensaries, is the culmination of a five-year quest for Mallette and his wife to open a store in Lincoln City or the surrounding area.

“My wife and I became interested in opening a medical marijuana dispensary here in Lincoln City back in 2009, when my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer,” Mallette said. “Without exception, every doctor or healthcare worker asked was in agreement that medical marijuana could and would most likely ease her suffering.”

Nearby business owners were largely unaware of the new store’s mere presence in the neighborhood.

“Actually, I just found out about it this morning from a guy who walked by it,” Gerber Tire Manager Perry Gerber said. “If it’s done right, it’s medicine.”

Citing not only his mother, Mallette said the potential benefits of medical marijuana are numerous.

It can help patients suffering from pain and nausea; shows promise as a possible treatment for cancer; helps patients with “shaking diseases” such as multiple sclerosis and epilepsy and in the progression of Alzheimer’s, he said.

“The reason we decided to open a dispensary here was to help those patients in our own area by providing a clean, safe, local access point to medicine,” he said.

Mallette said all his medicine is tested at an independent laboratory, not only for potency but for pesticides and mold.

Camp Westwind has something for everyone this summer!

Everybody loves summer camp. Children can make new friends and take part in fun activities, such as hiking, swimming or telling stories. Parents can also enjoy time for themselves.

Camps are opportunities for kids of all ages to create fabulous lifelong memories. When looking for a summer camp, here are a few things to keep in mind.

Coed or Same-Sex: The first aspect to consider is whether you want your child to attend a coed or same-sex camp. There are advantages to both choices. Coed camps allow boys and girls to socialize together, which may concern some parents. But coed camps usually have strict rules and supervision. They separate the boys and the girls for activities and housing. Single sex camps can allow kids to develop confidence and self-esteem. They also eliminate the possibility of distractions and the rigidity of gender stereotypes.

Ch Education: Many camps focus on educational activities, such as music, drama or scier oos ence. Think about your child’s interests. You may want him to focus on certain activities, e a Su m m especially if he needs additional tutoring. Consider your choices and research your options.

It is important to ask your child for his opinion. While it is ultimately your choice, the child will have a better experience if he feels as if he had some power in making the ultimate decision about how he will spend his summer.

Special Needs Camps: If you are searching for a special needs camp, be cautious about choosing the right camp. Experts and trained personnel should be on hand to help children with health or wellness needs. Talk with the camp director before making a decision. Read reviews on the Internet and speak with parents who have sent their children to the camp. Also, be sure the facilities are properly equipped and safe before allowing your child to attend the camp.

Track Record: It is vital that the summer camp has long record of keeping children safe and happy. Also ask your friends, family and neighbors for information about summer camps for kids. Don’t base your judgment solely on their opinion, but positivity is a good first step. Once you have collected enough referrals, start looking deeper into what each camp has to offer.

Even if you had a fantastic childhood experience at a particular camp, times are different now. The staff and camp counselors have changed. The facilities may have aged substantially. Visit all of the prospective camps before making a final decision.

Supervision: Supervision varies substantially from camp to camp. Some facilities have plenty of camp counselors on hand to look after the children. At the very least, camps should have enough staff to ensure the safety of all kids. Each state typically has a minimum staff-to-student ratio. Be sure that the camp complies with these regulations. Also, consider the following questions: Are the supervisors adults, older teens or a mixture of both? What kind of training and experience do they have? Do they have appropriate licenses and basic medical training? As well, background checks should be performed on everyone who is around children. It is important that you verify that the camp has performed the proper background checks.

Long-Term Investment: There is a wide range of costs associated with summer camps. If you are on a budget, consider sending your child to a basic day camp. People who can afford more might consider specialized private residential camps. Cost alone should not be a deciding factor. Remember, you are paying for memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. Never, ever risk your child’s safety in order to save money. You will have to find a camp that meets your needs as well as those of your child. Your budget should also be a factor. It isn’t easy, but finding the best camp for your child is well worth the time and expense you put into it.

Police to mount DUII enforcement Budget JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

From page A1

The Lincoln City Police Department will be utilizing Driving Under the Influence (DUII) Enforcement Grant funds to conduct enhanced DUII enforcement patrols over the Memorial Day weekend.

Lincoln City Police will put extra patrol officers on duty during times when higher numbers of impaired drivers are likely to be on the roadways.

These enhanced enforcement operations will occur in conjunction with the national “High Visibility Enforcement” event, which runs May 24-27.

“The national High Visibility Enforcement events are designed to increase the number of law enforcement officers on the streets with an emphasis on seeking out drivers who are impaired by alcohol or drugs,” Lincoln City Police Sgt. Jeffrey Winn said. “This increased patrol effort is also designed to help deter those impaired persons from driving in the first place. Impaired driving continues to be a leading cause

Regatta Park to upgrade playground equipment.

Mayor Dick Anderson asked Hawker if there was a way to leverage other city money to avoid a 4 percent sewer and 4 percent water rate increase in the proposed budget.

“It is hard for me to think about a rate increase in a year were we enjoy three new sources of revenues, property taxes and transient room taxes from Roads End and Urban Renewal under levy funds,” he said.

Anderson said the city council would discuss the rate increase when it reviews the budget committee’s recommendations in June.

Hawker told the committee that the City went for 10 years without such rate increases.

“Our crews were out there putting junk in the ground and we are paying

Winn said the Lincoln City Police are committed to the safety of citizens and visitors.

“These grant funds are a valuable resource that will assist us in improving the traffic

safety in our community. Our goal is simple, to save lives and prevent injuries caused by impaired driving crashes,” he said.

Lincoln City Police recorded 90 DUII arrests in 2013 and 95 in 2012.

for it now,” he said. “Unlike streets we have had a dedicated funding stream through the rate increases.

This is a discussion we should have.”

Hawker also outlined the need for the committee and the city council to be aware of the pending funding crisis for street development and maintenance.

“The real issue is how much will be spent on street reconstruction, curb and sidewalk replacement, overlays and drainage,” Hawker said. “We will have enough money to do an aggressive program this year, but that will be the last year.”

Hawker said residents pay almost nothing for street funding and questioned if that was sustainable.

“I am not suggesting that you take action this year,” he said. “We will need to see additional revenues.

If we wait until it’s too late, the streets will have deteriorated to the point that they

will need total reconstruction. It will be an issue next year.”

Hawker challenged the City staff, the council and the community to come up with a solution.

“It needs a lot of thoughtful public input,” he said. “I challenge anyone who thinks there is a real simple solution.”

“I think we should use a 4 percent franchise fee for streets and not approve a 4 percent increase in sewer and water rates,” Hoagland said.

Councilor and budget committee member Roger Sprague asked Hawker about improving the gravel roads at Roads End. “I want the City to make a good-faith effort,” he said.

“We’ll go as far as we can,” said Hawker. “My guess is that we will be able to treat all the gravel roads at Roads End.” Read the budget at lincolncity.org and follow this story at thenewsguard.com.

Parmelee Perry

January 12, 1954 – May 4, 2014 Parmelee was raised up to Heaven on eagles’ wings on May 4 after a short battle with cancer.

Parmelee Perry was born on January 12, 1954 in Boise, Idaho to Joseph B. Brooks and RosaLee Brooks.

Being eleven weeks premature she was not expected to live more than 24 hours but she had an irrational enthusiasm for life and was blessed with 60 full years.

She was predeceased by her father, Joseph B. Brooks. She is survived by her husband, David J. Perry; her brother, Joe Brooks; sister-in-law, Denise Brooks; sister-in-law, Mary Edrington and her husband, Dave; nephews, Ben Brooks, John Brooks, and Andy Edrington; nieces, Alyssa Brooks and Katy Edrington; and her mother, RosaLee Brooks. A description of Parmelee’s “family” must include the Waysons who proudly claimed her as a family

member.

Parmelee was raised in Portland, Oregon and attended Wilson High School, Oregon State University where she received her BS degree, and Boise State University where she received her MBA. She spent most of her working career employed by Hewlett-Packard Company in the Human Resources Department at sites in Washington, California, Idaho, and Oregon.

Parmelee met her husband, David, over the phone in September, 1984 (Parmelee was working for HewlettPackard in Lake Stevens, Washington and David was working for Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto, California) and after a long distance courtship they were married in March, 1987. After their careers with Hewlett-Packard, Parmelee and David retired to Gleneden Beach on the Oregon Coast and had ten wonderful years in retirement before her passing.

Parmelee will always be remembered for her daz-

zling blue eyes, her hearty laugh, her warm smile, her long hugs, and her generous, caring spirit that touched so many people.

Parmelee was as uniquely beautiful as her name and she lives on in our hearts.

Her husband, David, would like to thank all the doctors, nurses and staff at Providence Saint Vincent’s Hospital in Portland for their wonderful care of Parmelee. A special thank you goes to Doctor Barbara Wayson and Doctor Stacey Lewis for their “above and beyond” care.

Cremation arrangements provided by Crown Memorial in Tualatin and Parmelee’s ashes will be scattered in several rose gardens she loved in the Pacific Northwest.

Memorial remembrances may be made to World Vision or charity of your choice. A memorial service will be held at the First Presbyterian Church, 227 NE 12th Street, Newport, OR 97365, on Friday, May 30, at 2PM.

Crabbing investigation leads to 150 illegal crab pots THE NEWS GUARD

A three-month investigation by Oregon State Police (OSP) Fish & Wildlife Division into illegal crabbing activity conducted by a Garibaldi-based fishing vessel led to the recovery of more than 150 illegal crab pots, some of which may be stolen, and pending charges for two men.

OSP Fish and Wildlife Division troopers started the investigation in December 2013 after a mandatory hold inspection noted the “Valkyrie” deployed commercial crab pots in the Pacific Ocean and did not conduct a landing within 14 days as required by law. The “Valkyrie” is owned and supervised by Aron Steinbach, 34, from Bay City, and was operated by two different captains. The first captain was Thomas White, 30, from Nehalem, and the most recent captain was a 52-year old Garibaldi man.

In February 2014, OSP Fish and Wildlife troopers contacted Steinbach and

White about violations.

Steinbach was cited for leaving gear set more than 14 days without a landing and White was cited for no commercial fishing license.

Troopers said many of the vessel’s crab pots had not been worked for long periods of time, causing concern that the gear could be killing, wasting and harming crab, greatly impacting the resource.

Starting May 6, OSP Fish and Wildlife troopers aboard the department’s patrol vessel “Guardian”, assisted by United States Coast Guard personnel and resources, began seizing “Valkyrie” commercial crab gear from the ocean near Cape Falcon.

Many of the more than 150 seized crab pots had evidence of multiple violations.

Several contained biomass in the form of rotten crab or crab parts, indicating crab were being caught by the unchecked gear and the crab were dying and going to waste inside the gear.

On May 12, Steinbach, who was in the Tillamook

County Jail on an unrelated matter, was cited by OSP for the following class A misdemeanor charges: Waste of commercial food fish Commercial Dungeness crabbing with inadequate release mechanism Leaving gear set more than 14 days without a landing No buoy tags No pot tags Each charge may have additional counts resulting from the ongoing investigation. No charges have been filed at this time for the vessel’s recent captain.

During the crab pot recovery, crab gear with different markings was found indicating some of the gear may be stolen. OSP Fish and Wildlife Division is scheduling a public viewing of seized crab pots to possibly identify any gear as stolen and facilitate its return to any owners. The viewing is scheduled June 9 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the OSP Tillamook Office located at 5995 Long Prairie Road.

Nathan Rasmussen came to Pacific West Ambulance as a Paramedic intern in 2011. He was quickly liked by all the staff and was given the nickname “Monkey”. This nickname came from the auto commercials where a monkey would jump out the trunk of a vehicle, and come to the aid of the vehicles driver. As an intern Nathan was very eager to arrive on scene and jump out of the ambulance ready for action. Nathan gained the respect of those that worked with him, Nathan Rasmussen and he was hired on full time after he completed his schooling.

Nathan has a strong passion for EMS and continuing education that he shares with those that are around him. His enthusiasm for his job is contagious and this is why he was awarded Pacific West Ambulance “Paramedic of the Year” in 2013 by his peers. Even though Nathan is at the start of his career in EMS, he is able to function at the level of a seasoned Paramedic.

Nathan has become an asset to Pacific West Ambulance due to his willingness to step in and lend a hand when needed with special projects, staffing, and taking vital role in the growth in the company.

During his off time Nathan enjoys an active lifestyle of mountain biking, racquetball, and has a strong passion for his Subaru Sti. L52112

hen North Marion/St. Paul visits Taft High on Thursday to compete in a play-in game to the OSAA Softball Championships, assistant coach Sandy Stuart will have memories spinning through her head. Could it be nearly a decade of blood, sweat and tears has come to this?

The Taft Tigers, fresh off a 19-6 season and second-place finish in the Oregon West Conference, will take the field with

faces so familiar they’ve become fixtures on the softball field throughout Lincoln City.

And in life.

Keitra Mason, Hannah Ray, Ayla Reed, Emily Broderick, Sierra Picard, Katie McCardell, BillyAnn Stempel, and Kelsey Wilkinson have shared the diamond for the past several years together.

“Coaching all of those girls has been a dream come true for me,” said Stuart, who along with head coach Dave Broderick and assistants Stacey Ehrenfelt and Bill Stempel,

have guided the careers of a core group of studentathletes who have proven successful on the field and off.

When the Tigers meet the Huskies at 5 p.m.

Thursday, May 22, eight girls will comprise virtually the entire starting lineup that will attempt to make a run at the school’s first state championship since Stuart played for the Tigers several years ago.

It will be a family affair.

“We started over seven years ago when I was still in college,” Stuart said.

“I missed softball and

wanted to pass on my knowledge of the game to younger girls. I also hoped to make them fundamentally strong going into high school.”

Born that day were the Hurricanes, a traveling squad of 12-and-under players who formed a team that competes throughout the state to this day.

“Each summer after that we continued, sometimes picking up new players and, occasionally, losing players that weren’t interested,” Stuart said.

“These girls stuck it out and it has paid off. It gives

me a lot of pride to see them out there working so hard and being successful.

I am really happy to be a part of their journey.”

“Aside from learning the fundamentals and how to compete, the Hurricanes created that ‘softball culture’ in the girls and in the parents,” Broderick said. “From that first summer on, every summer was spent at various ballparks.”

Broderick has been there most of the way. His daughter, Emily, was a star See SOFTBALL, Page A9

Tigers to reap experience from State play JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

Seth Steere pitches against Newport

A9Sports

Taft High boys golf coach Mark Swift is either playing coy or is realistic enough to admit the Tigers are not a threat to waltz off with any hardware this week at the OSAA Golf Championships.

“While we qualified for state as the second representative, we are going over there mainly as an experience-gathering trip,” he said.

The Tigers played Monday and Tuesday, May 19-20 (past print deadline; see thenewsguard. com for results); at the Ridge Course at Eagle Crest Resort in Redmond after placing second last week in the Oregon West Conference finals.

“This will be the second time at State for many of this group, and, hopefully, they will see what they will need to do

to continue to get to this great event,” Swift said following the May 1213 competition on their home course of Salishan Golf Resort.

Stayton, behind medalist Mike Windsor, won the team title by a whopping 58 shots at 776.

Taft earned the second and final qualifying team berth to state at 834, followed by Newport, 870; Cascade, 913; and Central, 957.

Boys Golf

Sprinter Wright advances to State meet JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

Taft High sophomore Josh Wright picked the most appropriate time to run the most appropriate race.

Wright posted a career-best 11.4 seconds in the 100-meter dash Saturday, May 17, at the Oregon West Conference Championships in Philomath to earn a spot this weekend at the OSAA Track & Field Championships at the University of Oregon in Eugene.

“His hard work has paid off and now he gets to continue his track season for one more week,” coach Tim Dressler said of Wright, who finished .14 seconds behind Philomath junior Trevor Sartnurak.

“Josh is focused more than ever and I am excited to see how he performs at Hayward Field this Friday.”

Wright also placed third in the 200 and fourth in the 4x400 relay with Mason Aguirre, Trent Daniels and Nate Orton.

“We had a very successful districts this year,” Dressler said. “I am very proud of the accomplishments of the athletes individually and as a team. Every year, Taft track athletes are pushing to new limits and achieving great accomplishments.”

Aguirre placed third in the 3,000-meter run (9:27.25), taking 10 seconds off his personal record.

“Mason earned a lot of respect on the track after that race from athletes and coaches,” Dressler said.

“He was a strong competitor in all of his races throughout the meet and will be coming back next year with an even stronger mentality.”

Sophomore Keyonna Williams also posted a strong performance in the 800, placing third in 2:38.02.

“As a first-year track athlete, this is an amazing accomplishment,” Dressler said. “I am very proud of what she has accomplished this year.”

Junior Joyce Campbell placed fourth in the discus with a personal record 88 feet, 8 inches.

“All of the mechanics in throwing a discus started clicking at the meet and she took advantage of it,” Dressler said.

“So many of our athletes either placed in the top eight to score points for the team or had personal records,” Dressler said. “I am proud of my team and their efforts.

“Each individual came out to compete and perform. It has been a long time since Taft has outscored a team at districts and we accomplished that against Stayton. In a very competitive league, that is a great accomplishment for Taft High.

“One of the phrases that Taft athletes got used to me saying is, ‘Be comfortable with uncomfortable.’

You have to be willing to put your body in an uncomfortable state to be competitive in track. Taft athletes pushed their bodies and minds to new limits and competed with determination and grit. Track culture is shifting at Taft and it is exciting to be a part of.”

Tigers’ Adams earns spot at State JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

The Taft High girls golf team fell short last week in its quest to reach the OSAA Golf Championships, but even extreme heat couldn’t alter coach Heather Hatton’s enthusiasm over how far her squad advanced this season.

“I’m really proud of everyone who played their hearts out,” she said following the Special District 4 event at Cross Creek Golf Course near Salem.

Particularly, junior Rachael Adams, who placed fifth overall and earned an individual trip to the prestigious season-ending event, Monday and Tuesday, May 19-20, at Trysting Tree Golf Course in Corvallis (past print deadline; see thenewsguard.com).

Adams overcame three uncompromising holes to score 100 in the opening round of the two-day event to earn first-team all-district honors.

Sophomore Hayden Zumhofe earned secondteam all-district honors with a seventh-place finish.

Zoe Teplick was next for the Tigers following a career-low 101 in the second round, while Shelby Wright and Mikayla Blackstocks also lowered their scores as the season wound down.

and earned second-team, all-league honors for the season.

Connor Anderson shot a two-day 243, and Xander King 246 for the Tigers.

“Connor Anderson and Xander King played better after sitting out the final league match, and they both helped in getting the Tigers to State,” Swift said. “Overall, our district was soft this season, but that doesn’t take away from what they were able to accomplish at the district tournament.”

Track and Field

JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

If playing close, competitive games pays dividends for young players, consider the prospects good for the Taft High baseball team next season.

While Taft missed the playoffs this year with a last-place finish in the Oregon West Conference at 3-12, the Tigers outscored the opposition 126-100 this season and won 10 of its 23 games overall with just two starting seniors.

“We had an unusual number of close games, extremely close, I think six or seven one-run games,” coach Dusty Hankins said.

“We were happy being as young as we were and being so competitive.”

Taft lost 3-2 to Central at home on Monday, May 12, defeated Newport 4-2 on Wednesday, May 14, and lost 2-1 at Cascade on Friday, May 16.

“The experience of playing close games is going to help tremendously,” Hankins said. “They’ve been there and done that now and know how to compete at a high level, so that’s going to be big for us.”

Taft loses only starting pitcher and infielder Seth Steere, starting shortstop Henry Lahti and reserve player Chester Parker to graduation and has the likes of eighth-grade youth stars Caleb King and Jack Stempel vying for playing time as freshmen next year.

“It’s been a learning experience,” Hankins, in his first season as Taft head coach, said. We’ve got that experience now, and I’d put money on it that we’ll win those games when we play again.”

Windsor won the individual title with a 36-hole 86-81--166. Newport’s Eddie St. Claire, playing as an individual, shot 91-83--174 for second, with Stanfill third at 95-95--190.

Stanfill was honored with first-team, all-conference honors. Taft’s Keaton Fisher dropped back after being in second place after the opening round and made second-team allleague.

Tyler Fisher placed eighth at 106-102--208

pitcher for the team before settling in at second base.

For all the girls, their next loss will mark the end of their run together.

“The very unique thing about these girls is they all stayed together throughout the years,” Dave Broderick said. “Everyone from that core group is still playing ball together. This is why they are having success now. They’ve played together, grown together and matured together.”

“It’s been a pretty crazy ride getting to where we are now,” sophomore centerfielder Wilkinson said. “Not just this year, but all of our years play-

ing together, starting as Pee Wee players in city league to our Hurricanes summer ball team to high school summer ball team and finally our last high school season all playing together.”

“Playing with these girls has shaped my entire childhood,” Stempel, a junior first baseman, said.

“All my best memories, favorite trips, and best friends are within that team.”

“These ladies have been my family from day one,” said Mason, a senior catcher. “Even though we’re not all in the same grade, we still mesh so well and age is not even a factor.”

As the coach’s daugh-

ter, Emily Broderick has lived the softball life on the field and at home. In fact, parental guidance has been key to the team’s success, her father and coach said.

“These girls are more like family than just a team and they have all had parents driving them all these years, which is huge,” he said. “All those weekend mornings of getting up at 5 a.m. and driving to the Valley have paid off and led to some success over the years and a great regular season.”

Emily knows the feeling.

“Growing up with these girls has definitely changed my life,” she said.

“They were always like a

second family to me and still are. Everyone gets along and plays so well together.”

“We have grown up together and learned each others’ strengths and weaknesses,” Reed, a senior third baseman, said. “We’ve learned to work as a team to make us the best we can be.

Softball isn’t just a sport to me. It’s something that has brought me closer to all my teammates, coaches and has made us a family.”

Taylor Adams, a 17-year-old senior, is relatively new to the team, having started just last season. She’s an example, however, of how the camaraderie spills over to incoming players.

“I have grown so much as a person and a player with these girls.,” she said.

“They make me better, and they make me want to work harder and succeed.

They have helped me grow and learn as a person, player and student.”

As the ace pitcher, McCardell has been a key factor in getting the Tigers into the postseason. She’s just one example of what sticking around has meant to the team’s growth.

“Getting far in this game takes hard work, dedication and a love for the game,” she said. “Next year is going to be a lot different with half of the family gone, but, hopefully, we can adopt a few players.”

VCB director Pfaff outlines tourism Lincoln City ready to entertain

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countymedia.net

Memorial Day weekend traditionally is the kick off of the summer tourist season and visitors and locals will have a variety of summer events to chose from in Lincoln City.

The following is a conversation with Lincoln City Visitors & Convention Bureau Director Sandy Pfaff:

NEWS GUARD: What are the popular events that bring folks to Lincoln City and what is it about those events that draws folks here?

PFAFF: We have surveyed the public about just that over the last two years. The two most popular festivals are the kite festival and the sand castle contest. The summer kite festival has been popular for more than a quarter century.

Visitors love the display of colors,

ingenious shapes of kites, and the talent of sport kite fliers. Sand castles are, of course, a family tradition at the beach, even when there is no contest. I think sand castles are like the “comfort food” of beach activities.

And 4th of July fireworks -- not a full-blown festival, but folks call to see if we are having them. They want to go to a beach location on the 4th where there are fireworks.

see new and different this holiday and into the summer as far as events and attractions in this area?

PFAFF: We started doing crabbing and clamming clinics last year. They took off! So we expanded the season this year, starting in April and going farther in the fall. The state is also doing kayak trips. They have done them before, but it seems the offerings increase every year and the trips fill up quickly.

NEWS GUARD: We’ve touched on off the beach attractions in previous articles, but specifically, the development of a trails system seems to be an attraction that could be enhanced locally. Where are we with that, who are the folks who are asking about the trails and what is it that they want?

Container planting logic Planting in containers is popular for summer color. You can have fun putting together complimentary colors and textures, usually using annuals that will give color all summer. This often allows you to brighten up frequently used areas, and to place your artful creations where they are easily viewed and cared for. Perhaps you’ve even received a gift pot already planted.

What container planting does not do is guarantee easy care. Plants in pots are out of their normal comfort zone, so they do require attention from you if they are to thrive.

On the most basic level, plants in containers have their roots constricted. Very few plants in the world are used to growing in a contained situation. Use ample sized containers for good growth and production of bloom or fruit.

The potting medium used in a container can not be what the plant would have in its normal habitat. In open soil, gravity moves water through the soil bringing air after it, thus essential oxygen to the roots. Potting soil needs to be looser in order for that air space to occur, and requires more frequent watering than native soil because the roots are unable to reach out a long way to gather their moisture. This means you must add water regularly, as often as every day for a crowded pot.

In order to make potting “soil” suitable, usually no native soil is included at all, meaning that the resulting mix has little natural fertility and none of the many minute organisms that contribute to the fertility of soil that has developed over time in a layer covering the earth. You need to add minerals in the form of fertilizer to enable the contained plants to grow at all. Plants can only take up their nutrients in a liquefied form, dissolved in water. Since you are watering frequently, you need to replenish the minerals that leach out with the draining water frequently also.

Using organic fertilizer sources is normally a very good idea, but without soil micro-organisms, the minerals in the organic fertilizer are not released for the plant’s use, so it is usually more successful, even in fairly large containers, to use a water soluble fertilizer containing some inorganic ingredients. Always follow the label instructions for the amount to put into the water. More is not better! Also be sure the soil is moist prior to applying the dissolved fertilizer. Thirsty plants sometimes take up the fertilizer liquid too fast for their own good.

For a large hanging basket or patio planter that is filled with plants, you should fertilize along with the watering about once a week. Feeding every other week may be adequate while the plants are small or the pot is not yet full.

Use fresh potting soil when you plant a new pot. Last year’s soil will be depleted and also may have lost its loose texture. Plants that have lived over a year in the same pot need to be moved into a larger pot. If that is not possible, it is wise to remove them from the pot, remove part of the old soil, and repot with new. This is best done before growth starts in the spring, however, so it is probably too late to do it successfully now.

File this information for next year’s reference, and be sure to feed and water the poor plant regularly this year.

As a retired nurseryman with many years of experience in growing potted plants, I can assure you that I know both the fun and the down side of growing potted plants. With all of the great plant choices now available for our use, and keeping in mind these basic facts, I’m sure you’ll be very successful this time.

Cappella Romana will perform Sunday, May 25, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

Orthodox ancient, modern music at Cultural Center

THE NEWS GUARD

For the final performance of the Lincoln City World Music Series, José Solano presents the world-renowned Byzantine music ensemble Cappella Romana in a performance of Greek and Russian Orthodox Chant and Choral Works, including Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Bogoroditse Devo,” the Russian Orthodox “Ave Maria.”

The performance will be held at 7 p.m. Sunday, May 25, at the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 N.E. Highway 101.

Fittingly for the Memorial Day weekend, in honor of all those fallen in all the wars, Cappella Romana will also perform Sir John Tavener’s “Funeral Canticle,” which can be heard in the feature film The Tree of Life.

Artistic director of

Cappella Romana, Dr. Alexander Lingas, founded the ensemble in 1991.

He is a fellow at the University of Oxford’s European Humanities Research Center and a senior lecturer in Music at City University London. This performance of Orthodox ancient and modern music will be led by singer, chorus master, conductor and composer Adam Steele.

Cappella Romana made its European début at the 2004 Byzantine Festival in London with concerts at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sophia. The same year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York presented the ensemble for its exhibit Byzantium: Faith and Power 1261 – 1557, and the museum released its CD, Music

of Byzantium. Cappella Romana’s performances include concerts for such academic institutions as Princeton, Yale, and the Pontificio Istituto Prientale (Rome), in addition to music festivals in Canada, Ireland, Italy, the United Kingdom and the USA. In September 2011, Cappella Romana performed at the Sacred Music Festival in Patmos and on the island of Paros, Greece. In March 2012, the company again performed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in a concert entitled “Desert and City: Medieval Byzantine Music of the Holy Land,” music composed in and around Jerusalem Advance tickets are $16, $20 at the door. Upfront table seats are $25.

GHHSA provides educational, vocational, recreational and

hiking trails of all degrees of difficulty and with great views.

Hiking is a big deal in Oregon tourism these days. We have a number of trails in the city and at nearby Cascade Head.

We promote those on our website and in brochures. In future years we hope to have more fully developed trails in the Villages at Cascade Head.

For now, Drift Creek Falls Trail remains the most popular. The Oregon Coast Visitors Association emphasizes the trail’s availability on its website. We are in fact in the process of developing a full PR campaign for hiking trails.

NEWS GUARD: How has the Bureau partnered with other groups/agencies in visitor attractions to enhance the tourist revenues? Give us examples.

PFAFF: We partner as much as we reasonably can. We partner with the North Lincoln County Historical Museum to bring in exhibits and offer free admission. We’re partnering now with the Drake In Oregon Society to develop massive publicity for Lincoln City. We have partnered many times with the Cultural Center (Festival of Illusions and Antique Week), Tanger (The Chowder Cook-off), Chinook Winds (Celebration of Honor), for instance.

NEWS GUARD: Is it a matter of balancing the simple beach walks with other attractions to keep families here longer, and how is that balance accomplished?

PFAFF: It is. You can spend only so much time on the beach. So you balance that with attractions and special events.

That’s why we promote things like Chinook Winds, Glass Studio, the Culinary Center, the Community Center, the Museum, Tanger, etc. We even offer a list of free or nearly free things for folks to do. The more options they have, the longer they stay. If you want folks to stay overnight, you need to offer them 4 times the amount of things to do as the time it took to get here. So if they come from Portland, we need to have at least 8 hours of entertainment if we want to keep them here. And for Oregonians, tax free shop-

Crabbing clinics are offered in Lincoln City. ping is no big deal. But it is for everyone else. And shopping is one of the main activities people engage in while traveling. Lincoln City is a Great Place to Try New Things. We highlight a new idea on our website regularly, in photos and in video.

NEWS GUARD: Will this be a banner summer for Lincoln City tourism? Why? / Why not?

PFAFF: We’ll see. I think it will be. The economy is stabilizing and the weather has been favorable both this winter and spring. I haven’t gotten AAA data yet. The trend is rising numbers.

NEWS GUARD: Where are the tourists coming from?

PFAFF: Our main sources are first the Valley, then Southwestern Washington. Boise and Western Idaho, as well as Northern California. We also see visitors from international travel, especially from China and Asia.

NEWS GUARD: Who are the tourist targets for Lincoln City and why those segments?

PFAFF: Anyone who wants to travel is a target. Right now we are putting particular emphasis on travelers with disabilities and group tours.

Travelers with disabilities constitute a huge portion of humanity. Many people

without disabilities travel with others who have them. We want to make Lincoln City the most accessible place on the Oregon Coast. As for motor coach travel, Lincoln City has never put much emphasis on it. Instead we have pursued families and other independent travelers. We have the product to offer motor coach groups now, so it is time.

Motor coach group travel is coming back. We need to step on board – literally.

NEWS GUARD: How much does the average tourist spend in Lincoln City and for what?

PFAFF: Overnight, about $145. Day-tripping, about $49.

Slightly more is spent on food than lodging. What they don’t eat or sleep is spent on entertainment, gasoline, retail, etc. I can give you a specific breakdown of percentages if you want, but these are the basics.

NEWS GUARD: How much overall does Lincoln City see in tourist dollars each summer?

Is that up or down compared to previous years?

PFAFF: In 2013, Lincoln City reported $51,962,671 in transient room rentals in gross sales. That’s up 5.67 percent over 2012. The first quarter this year shows 3.85 percent increase without Roads End. We are steadily increasing since returning from 2008-9 recession levels.

Kites From page B1

15,000 in both the summer and the fall,” Event Coordinator Suzanne Treece said.

“Without the stress of a formal competition, Lincoln City’s festivals offer a more relaxed environment that spectators and participants both enjoy.

We are really excited to be unleashing a Rok battle for our 30th Summer Kite Festival.”

Treece said the festival includes a number of fun and unique activities.

“You can participate in the Running of the BOLs, a footrace across the beach with each participant harnessed

with parachute kites, or cheer the contestants on from the sidelines,” she said.

Festival guests are encouraged to explore the dark side of kite flying with a Rok battle, which features Rokkaku kites, a traditional Japanese design, where combatants attempt to ground their opponents’ kites. “ You can also take part in a hands-on kite making clinic and a short battle workshop to enter into the fray,” Treece said. “The kids will enjoy their own kite making experience, a parade down to the beach, and meeting featured kite fliers and collecting prizes through the passport program.”

There is no charge for admission. Limited parking is available on site, but additional parking options and shuttle service (Saturday only) will be available. Pick up a map with overflow parking locations and the shuttle route from festival volunteers at the D-River Wayside at any time during the event or download a copy in advance at www.oregoncoast.org.
