Mounting neighborhood opposition against a housing development that would likely remove hundreds of Sitka spruce trees in a grove off N.E. Voyage in Lincoln City are asking for a land swap in an effort to save the trees.

“We are suggesting that this 10-acre site be turned into a park, and traded

by Lincoln City for the Fernwood 10-acre site that the

Kernville Steakhouse to reopen June 27 JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

It’s famous for its setting. The motion picture “Sometimes a Great Notion” was filmed in the surrounding area. Henry Fonda, Paul Newman and Lee Remick starred in the 1971 drama based on Ken Kesey’s second novel, published in 1964.

Michael Thompson is hoping he has a great notion, too. Locals and tourists will tell you it’s a wonderful one.

Thompson is bringing back the Kernville Steak & Seafood House, whose surroundings played a undeniable backdrop for the movie, based on former local resident Kesey’s second novel, considered by many to be the counterculture figure’s magnum opus, though not as popular as “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest,” his first.

Friends and frequenters of the fabled restaurant, which has been closed for several years now, are rejoicing in news of its reopening. The same fare and pricing is expected at the establishment’s reopening,

to sports fans with a bar-style menu and a TV from every view. The upstairs dining room, with its exquisite view of the Siletz River, will feature fancy cuisine that might top out in the $35 range with pastas and salads in the mid-teens.

“We’ll have two very distinct clients, downstairs for the beer and games and upstairs for the wines with classical music and stuff,” said Thompson, speaking in generalities.

News of the reopening is spreading by word of mouth, and customers couldn’t be more elated. Thompson tells of one couple that heard of the reopening through the grapevine and drove miles to confirm it was true.

Williams, Sprague announce candidacies for mayor JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Lincoln City businessman Don Williams announced June 6 he will run for mayor in the Nov. 4 General Election.

Williams, also the chair of the Lincoln City Planning Commission, said his decision to be a candidate was a long and tough one, but in the end, he decided it was the right one.

“I have been agonizing on this,” he said. “But I don’t want to go four more years looking over my shoulder to see what the government is going to do to me. Every time I turn around I am running into government interference in my life. That’s the bottom line.”

Williams said the City has wasted over two years debating the vacation rental dwelling (VRD) issues.

“That’s been a waste of time from the beginning,” he said. “The conclusion of the Consensus Committee is that

there isn’t a VRD issue in the City.”

Longtime Lincoln City City Councilor Roger Sprague said he is also mounting a Lincoln City campaign to City Councilor be the next Roger Sprague mayor.

“I like the direction that the City has been going over the past few years and I want to continue it in that direction,” Sprague said. “The City is in good financial shape, and it continues in that direction as well. I have no agendas other than to make sure the City is providing the services that we expect and doing so in an economical way.”

Williams and Sprague picked up the City candidate packets June 4 from City Recorder Cathy Steere.

“First, they need to file a petition with the City,” Steere

said. “I will then assign an official number and give them an official sheet for collection of signatures. They need to collect 25 voter signatures that must be verified by the Lincoln County Elections Clerk and then returned to me.”

Candidates filing for City office have until Aug. 27 at 5 p.m. to file their petitions for the November election.

Current Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson is running for Lincoln County Commission Position 3 against incumbent Terry Thompson in a runoff in November.

Anderson’s position as mayor ends in December.

Three other positions on the seven-member Lincoln City Council will also open at the end of the year, including Gary Ellingson’s seat in Ward 3, Henry Quandt’s seat in Ward 1 and Gordon Eggleton’s seat in Ward 2.

Ellingson and Eggleton said they would not run for reelection. Quandt said he

Lincoln City Planning Commission member Nathan Long also picked up a candidate packet from the City

Recorder’s office. It is expected that Long would file for the Ward 1 council position.

The seven-member Lincoln County Planning

Commission will also have a vacancy when member Shawn Kidd resigns. Kidd is moving to take another position out of the area.

School District, parents settle sexual abuse lawsuit JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

A sexual abuse lawsuit against the Lincoln County School District filed four years ago has been settled between the district and five families seeking damages.

The original lawsuit sought $2.9 million. The settlement totaled $250,000 and will be distributed among five victims, according to attorneys in the case.

The parents of five children attending Sam Case Primary School came forward after the children told them a 6-year-old boy had touched their genitals, hit them in the crotch and exposed himself.

One mother involved in the case spoke with the Oregonian on condition of anonymity to protect the identity of her child.

“The whole reason for this is we want to make sure this doesn’t happen to other kids and for parents to be

aware that it can happen in school, and we want people to be vigilant,” she said.

“The big thing we parents have a problem with is, had the teachers did what they were required to do by law, which is mandatory reporting, none of this would have happened. Because they didn’t do what they were supposed to do, our children have and continue to suffer frustration, anger, anguish and fear.”

The attorney for the children, Ken Ammann, said the parents agreed to the settlement in order to spare the children the stress of testifying.

The case prompted the Lincoln County District Attorney’s office to charge Sam Case teachers Susan Roebber and Wren Clark and former principal Marsha Eckelman with failure to report child abuse. Each was fined $648.

Lincoln County School District Superintendent

Tom Rinearson said the district’s child abuse reporting policies and procedures have always complied with the law, but that the lawsuit promoted an independent review by an outside agency and new practices have been established “What we discovered was our staff was lacking in the ability to recognize most of the initial, subtle signs of abuse,” he said.

Rinearson said the District partnered with the Lincoln County Children’s Advocacy Center and had its staff trained in “The Darkness to Light” program the Center provides.

“We also do random follow-ups during the year on things to be aware of in student behavior that may be a sign the child is being or has been abused,” he said.

Rinearson said the district takes several steps when student abuse concerns surface.

Water, sewer rates going up

JEREMY C. RUAK jruark@countrymedia.net

Lincoln City residents will face a 4 percent rate hike for sewer services and a 4 percent increase in water service rates later this summer as part of a $40 million operating budget adopted by the Lincoln City City Council Monday night, June 9.

For the average single family home, that amounts to about $1.50 a month, according to city officials who said the rate hike is needed to maintain the City’s sewer and water services.

Lincoln City City Manager David Hawker told the Council the budget is both encouraging and challenging.

“We have a very healthy budget overall,” he said.

“Our funds are financially sound. We will end the year with $9 million in reserves and contingency funds, but the future looks a little shaky for the City’s street funds.”

In his presentation of the proposed budget to the Lincoln City Budget Committee in early May, Hawker outlined

his concerns about the funding needed to maintain the 50 miles of City streets.

“Over the long term we currently do not have sufficient resources to maintain the condition of our streets, yet alone to make needed capacity and safety improvements,” he said.

Hawker suggested a city fuel tax, franchise fee on water and sewer and a citywide road improvement district as possible funding options.

“We need $3, $4, $5 million more each year in the street budget,” he said. “We need to look at this.”

The City Council has not yet taken any action on developing additional funding resources for the streets.

Hawker said the Coun-

Those steps include continued education of district employees on identifying the signs of child abuse; embed information into district programs to educate students on appropriate behavior between them and with adults; educate employees and students on how to report the incidents and immediately report any suspected abuse to law enforcement.

Although Rinearson said steps were taken to discipline the district employees involved in the issue, he would not provide specifics.

“The District followed the collectively bargained contract and worked closely with the teacher union on this matter,” he said.

According to Rinearson, the district’s insurance covered the cost of the litigation.

“The court costs to the district were zero,” he said.

“Because of our insurance policy, with the settlement we may see a rise in premi-

ums next year.”

Attorney fees in the initial investigation were approximately $7,500, he said.

Rinearson said he was confident the systems now in place to detect and report student abuse are better than

ever and higher than legally mandated.

“On a personal level, I wish this had never happened,” he said. “However, I am glad that it has been settled and that the kids and their families can move on.”

He said the budget includes $25,000 to help move a concept plan for location and cost, but that a financial plan for replacement needs to be developed.

This year’s primary election had a voter turnout of around 38 percent in Lincoln County, which was lower than usual. A substantial number of those who turned in a ballot also chose not to vote for a candidate in either of the county commissioner races, with fewer voting in the Position 1 race, in which only two candidates had filed. In the Position 3 race, in which four candidates had filed, there will at least be a run off in the November general election, where voter turnout is usually much higher. That will provide voters with an opportunity to take a further look at the two candidates and the issues.

The idea of a part-time Lincoln County Board of Commissioners was an issue that had been brought up during the primary election. As noted at the time, if the three county commissioners are getting paid a total of nearly $360,000 per year in salary and benefits and the county budget is tight on other issues, they might want to at least start having that discussion on the issue both within the county organization as well as with citizens and constituents.

As expected, the idea was met with a range of perspectives. Likewise, many who quietly supported the idea had either worked or served in local government and were familiar with the present county administration, which includes the board of commissioners and

office of county counsel, along with a public information officer for media releases among other things.

To briefly expand on the concept, a parttime board of commissioners would handle policy, budget, and other issues, similar to a city council. Similar to a city manager with a number of municipal departments, there would be a county administrator handling administrative and other management functions. The board of commissioners would serve without salary but could receive a stipend, which is done in other counties in the state with this type of structure, be it home rule or, like Lincoln County, a general law county.

A typical stipend for a county commissioner could be around $800 to $1,000 per month. Or it could be less depending on the circumstances. Doing the math, this would amount to no more than $36,000 per year instead of the nearly $360,000 per year in salary and benefits. This is separate from reimbursement for travel and other related expenses incurred while on county business, which is budgeted this year at $11,000.

Salary and benefits for a county administrator might total in the range of around $180,000 to $200,000 per year, which when added to the $36,000, amounts to a savings of around $125,000 or more per year. In just four years’ time, that can add up to more than a half-million dollars. In eight years’ time, which is two terms in office for a county commissioner, it becomes more than a million dollars. Those savings could then be put in re-

serve or used to restore previous reductions in essential public services, which is in furtherance of the county mission statement.

As an example of that, in a campaign mailer from the incumbent in position 1, it was listed as part of ‘proven leadership’ and ‘proven results’ that two public safety positions were funded and county reserves had doubled. Moreover, one of the campaign themes noted in the mailer was “building an even more financially responsible county government.”

Elected officials should be willing to challenge and constantly improve on the status quo, which is generally listed as one of the main elements of leadership. The idea of a part-time board of commissioners is just one of a number of things that could be considered along those lines. For a general law county like Lincoln County, it is an option available through ordinance adoption, which could then, as a further step if needed, be referred to the voters for approval.

It was just last November that voters in Lincoln County approved the change to a nonpartisan board of commissioners by a nearly three-to-one margin -- a much different outcome than in the 1990 general election, in which voters had narrowly turned down a similar change on a ballot measure for county home rule charter.

Voices of Lincoln County Support for ‘Asking Saves Kids Day’ Depoe Bay City Council voted has endorsed a proclamation in support of National ASK Day. ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day is June 21. Support is being gathered in Lincoln County and around the country to encourage parents to ask

parents of their children’s playmates if there are unsecured firearms in the home. Parents already want to ensure that their children will be supervised; they tell other parents about food allergies and other concerns.

Ninety percent of fatal firearm accidents involving children happen in the home. Forty percent involve a gun stored in the room in which the ac-

cident occurs. According to estimates provided by the Oregon Public Health Division approximately 58,000 children live in households with loaded firearms, 26,000 of them in households where the loaded firearms were unlocked.

The National ASK campaign has worked to make questioning the availability of firearms in their child’s friends’ homes less awkward and more

respectful, because it can very well be a life-saving question.

Rep. David Gomberg, District 10, wrote a letter of support to the Council.

Many local groups and individuals have signed statements of support.

Local pediatricians, Lincoln County Health Network, Lincoln County Democratic Party, Lincoln County Peace and Justice, PFLAIG and others endorse this common sense

measure.

For further information, stop by the ASK table at the Newport Farmers Market on June 14 and June 21. You can also find more information at askingsaveskids.org.

This action is being supported by Central Coast Ceasefire.

Taft 7-12 principal Tolan assesses school progress Editor’s Note: Former Assistant Principal Majalise Tolan, a six-year employee of the Lincoln County School District, returned to Taft High 7-12 as principal last fall after serving as principal at Newport Intermediate and Isaac Newton Magnet School. She assessed the 2013-14 school year under her leadership in a question-and-answer session with The News Guard: News Guard: You returned to Taft High after some time away to assume leadership of the school. What was the most significant thing you witnessed this year that might have changed since you were last there?

Tolan: The building climate is much safer than it was when I was last at Taft.

Fights are rare, which was not the case when I first became assistant principal, and building a positive culture has been a goal at Taft for the last six years. Seeing the progress of that goal was wonderful.

News Guard: You returned to Taft amid great community and school reaction to, even upheaval over, the dismissal of the previous principal.

What was that atmosphere like and how did the students

react to you and the sudden and unexpected change in leadership?

next year. K-8 teachers have also worked together to build a math facts program and implementation plan to begin next fall. Administrators have also received instruction on how to provide focused feedback to teachers to improve their math problem solving, question, and math review instruction.

Tolan: Our focus starting day one as a staff and student body was to improve academic achievement. I was proud of our ability to make that happen when school started.

News Guard: What were the areas and issues coming in that you felt needed the most attention? What was done to address those needs and how have the results been?

Tolan: Any time there is a leadership change, it is important to gain an understanding of the situation before making even more changes. We have been working this year to streamline the athletic department on an organizational, financial, and collaborative level. Tim Dressler, Kelly Hart and I have worked closely together this year in athletics.

We also began to look at ways to increase student access and accountability for their learning. Next year we will have school five-days a week and will be running the same academic calendar as Oceanlake and Taft Elementary.

Taft High Principal Majalise Tolan

News Guard: As in the recent past, the students seemed to display great spirit and leadership at athletic, school and community functions. How would you characterize the behavior of the students this year?

News Guard: What special achievements has the school population achieved as a group and/or as individuals that you believe deserve mention?

Tolan: This year, Lincoln City K-12 teachers have been working with Lori Cook on implementing Balanced Math instruction. At Taft 7-12 and in Taft Elementary and Oceanlake sixth grades, our teachers have been trained and have started implementation of problem solving methods that incorporate written and verbal aspects of math as well as a daily math review system. This implementation will continue to the K-5 level

Tolan: Our music department is continuing to see growth and won awards at Music in the Park. Our athletic teams are improving, Culinary is continuing to gain notoriety, and our Essential Skills Program students are in high demand to perform their sign-language songs at other performances. Our middle school literary review launch was a success, and our science department is continuing to evolve to incorporate more advanced and elective science opportunities.

This year, over 90 students were training to be Certified Emergency Response Team members and this number continues to grow. Listening

The June 6 Commission action caps an extensive, almost two-year public process that included input from stakeholders, anglers,

the public, and management partners.

“This is a package that has been forged through compromise and consensus,” ODFW Division Administrator Ed Bowles said.

He credited partners and stakeholder team members, who represented often competing points of view, for working hard to reach consensus.

The Commission also approved the permanent rules for the 2014 ocean salmon seasons — many of which are currently under way under temporary regulations — and the sport and commercial fisheries in the ocean terminal areas.

to students have engaging conversations around works they are reading in language arts is also a testament to the efforts that department has made over the last few years.

Tolan: Tigers have a lot of pride in their school and classmates. I was impressed to see the increased attendance at events from students, staff, and community members. I am proud of the way our students represent our school and their courage to perform day in and day out when the external headlines may not always report their courage and efforts in the most positive way.

News Guard: Bullying exists in all high schools, but you have responders such as counselor Nate Fingerson to intervene and attempt to prevent it. How has the effort gone against controlling bullying and preventing the practice in

social media?

Tolan: We have worked with Lincoln City Police Department on cyberbullying and Internet safety issues.

When our bully prevention committee resumes meeting in the fall, an area of focus will be on education around cyberbullying.

News Guard: What goals and objectives, if any, do you feel need further attention in the immediate future and into the next school year?

Tolan: Next year, we will continue to work on ways to improve academic and behavior feedback to students.

Until 100 percent of the students are passing 100 percent of the time, there is room for improvement and we have an exciting staff to continue this progress.

News Guard: Anything else you would like to share with our readers regarding the past school year and what they can look forward to in the future?

Tolan: I am excited to be planning the 2014-2015 school year and look forward to another great and growing school year.

State commission adopts fish management plan THE NEWS GUARD

The Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission has adopted the Coastal MultiSpecies Conservation and Management Plan, which becomes the state’s working document for managing salmon, steelhead and trout populations along most of the Oregon Coast.

The Commission adopted the management plan Friday, June 6, during a meeting in Salem.

According to Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Department (ODFW) Conservation and Recovery Program Manager Tom Stahl, the goal is to

provide a strong conservation platform for native fish in coastal rivers, while still providing continued harvest opportunity for wild and hatchery fish.

“This plan is about keeping our wild salmon, steelhead and trout in coastal rivers healthy, and maintaining and improving harvest opportunities on wild and hatchery fish,” Stahl said. “We are investing in the future in this plan.”

Highlights of the plan: · Emphasis on maintaining and improving wild fish populations, including special focus on those populations identified as “at risk.” · Overall hatchery releas-

Depoe Bay moves ahead to restart fish plant JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Depoe Bay City Council is moving ahead with plans to reestablish an operating fish processing plant despite citizens’ opposition to the plan.

Depoe Bay City Council President Zeke Olsen said the City would soon open bids on the core building issues of the plant and have whoever leases the building do other needed improvements.

“The City has budgeted $70,000 for the repairs, but I bet it will come in under $50,000,” he said.

Olsen said it’s possible the City would also issue a Request for Proposals within 30 days to encourage development of the plant.

“I would like to see that plant become the hub of the harbor,” Olsen said. “I want it to be an operating fish plant that has ice, bait, all the

services that the fishermen need because we already know that once we get this back up and running, there will be people moving back into the area.”

Olsen said the City is exploring part of the plant as a research location by Oregon State University.

“But right now we have to follow the agreement we made with federal agencies that gave us a $300,000 grant to reestablish the building as an operating fish processing plant,” he said.

Those opposing the fish plant site noise, odors, traffic and transient employees that will surface with the operations.

City warns water customers of possible scam THE NEWS GUARD

The City of Lincoln City has been advised that local water customers may receive mail solicitations from a company known as “HomeServe”.

This company offers a form of water service line insurance coverage for the water line running from the meter to a customer’s home.

The City of Lincoln City is not affiliated with HomeServe and does not recommend or endorse the insurance coverage HomeServe is offering.

The Better Business Bureau has received 303 complaints against HomeServe in the past three years. The Oregon Attorney General’s Office has received 79 complaints against HomeServe since 2011.

This former fish plant at the Port of Depoe Bay has been the center of discussions for the past several weeks.

Obituaries Neotsu, Oregon, passed away May 27, 2014. Obituary and service information to be published at a later date.

James Edwin Bidgood

1918 - 2013 Born February 1, 1918, in Cloverdale, Oregon, to John Remington Bidgood and Maude Cox Bidgood, James Edwin Bidgood (Jim) was one of five sons and a daughter. His parents were Oregon public school teachers and administrators. Jim attended elementary schools in Hubbard, Turner and Independence, then graduated from Molalla High School and Oregon State College School of Pharmacy. Fulfilling a lifelong dream, Jim acquired his license to practice pharmacy in 1940.

Jim served during World War II in the U.S. Navy from 1941 to 1945. He was a First Pharmacist Mate and the only medical officer on the USS Moore, one of the destroyer escorts defending troop- and supply-ship convoys back and forth across the Atlantic and Mediterranean.

Following the war, Jim served the public as a pharmacist for 40 years. In 1945, he and wife Esther and daughter, Joan, moved to Medford, Oregon. A second daughter, Nancy, was born in 1947. Three years later, the family moved to Oceanlake (now Lincoln City), where Jim served as pharmacist with Walt Folkestad.

Esther was an elementary school teacher at Delake and Oceanlake schools. The couple were active members of the community. Jim was in the Junior Chamber of Commerce, the March of Dimes Polio Drive, VFW, Congregational Church (treasurer), and he was a charter and life member of the Oceanlake Elks Club, BPOE 1886. The marriage ended in divorce in 1960 and Jim left to work in Hermiston, Oregon.

Jim, second wife Huldah and her son Bob Muir moved to Wasco, Oregon, in 1962. They purchased Wasco Drug, where pharmacist Jim and bookkeeper Huldah served the commu-

nity, including surrounding Sherman County. He was glad to make after-hour house calls and prescription deliveries and was named Citizen of the Year in the early 1980s. Jim retired and sold the pharmacy in 1985. He continued to renew his pharmacy licensure until 2006.

After retiring, Jim and Huldah continued to enjoy life in Wasco with friends and a growing family of grandchildren and great grandchildren. The couple were grateful “snow birds” in Desert Hot Springs, CA, and Hawaii. Jim survived COPD, a heart attack and stroke before 2006, but in that year Huldah predeceased him.

In 2011, Jim moved back to Lincoln City, Oregon, to stay with his daughter, Nancy, and Larry. Jim lived with them until cancer was diagnosed and he moved into Lakeview Senior Assisted Living in Lincoln

to attend because of emergency major surgery, but grandchildren Jennifer and Robin (and families) were present. Some of the family members and friends not present, including daughter Joan, nieces Sarah and Patty, and nephews Gary, Michael, Randy and Bernie, sent condolences and flowers.

Jim is survived by his brother, Kenneth Bidgood (Seattle, WA), his daughters, step-son, numerous grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews.

Predeceasing him were his parents, second wife Huldah, first wife Esther, brothers Ralleigh, Omer and Dean, sister Gungadene and his grandson, Andrew (Marie). Jim’s nephew, Gary Bidgood (Lani), a wounded Vietnam veteran and retired Captain of the L.A. Fire Department, died suddenly in 2014.

Health Matters

by Samaritan Health Services

Keeping your heart beat regular: Atrial fibrillation symptoms, diagnosis and treatment

By Jeff Hsing, MD, Samaritan Heart & Vascular Institute Atrial fibrillation, also referred to as “a-fib”, is the most common abnormal rhythm of the heart effecting nearly 2.7 million people.

In a normal heartbeat, the top two chambers of the heart (the atria) contract first, followed by the bottom two chambers (the ventricles). In atrial fibrillation the atria “fibrillate,” or quiver, causing the heart rate to be irregular and often too fast.

Episodes of atrial fibrillation can start as infrequent and progress to permanent. The incidence of atrial fibrillation increases with age. Risk factors include, but are not limited to, high blood pressure, heart valve disease, lung disease, sleep apnea, heart disease, and abnormal thyroid function. It can be diagnosed simply with an electrocardiogram (ECG) or a heart monitor.

While atrial fibrillation itself is not life threatening, it can greatly impact a person’s quality of life. The symptoms of atrial fibrillation vary greatly for each individual. Some

people are not aware of any symptoms while others feel palpitations (fluttering or racing heart beat), shortness of breath, chest pain, fatigue, weakness or difficulty with exertion.

There are two strategies for treating atrial fibrillation. The first is what is referred to as “rate control” or lowering the heart rate with medications. This approach is best for people who are only symptomatic with fast heart rates.

The second is referred to as “rhythm control” or maintaining a normal rhythm. There are several therapies used to achieve rhythm control and an appropriate treatment plan is tailored to each individual patient.

Treatment can include medications, electrical or chemical cardioversion (resetting the heart), surgical procedures or a less invasive atrial fibrillation ablation, also referred to as pulmonary vein isolation.

During an atrial fibrillation ablation procedure, thin catheters are inserted into the veins and fed back to the heart where radiofrequency is used to isolate the tissue responsible for triggering atrial fibrillation. These procedures are performed by an electrophysiologist (a cardiologist who specializes in heart rhythms). Advances in

Tips for smoothies Frozen bananas are the secret to thick and creamy fruit smoothies.

When you have some ripe bananas that you don’t know what to do with, just peel them and put them into Ziploc bags and freeze. When you’re ready, break the banana into chunks while still inside the bag before adding to blender.

Quick cleaning tip: Rinse out your blender as soon as you’ve poured out the milkshake. Add hot water and a drop of soap and blend together in the blender, then rinse clean with hot water.

What if milk upsets my stomach?

Use lactose-reduced milk, acidophilus milk or soymilk.

You can find lactose-reduced milk and acidophilus milk in the refrigerated milk section. You can find soymilk on the shelf in the dry/canned milk section of your grocery store.

What about powdered milk?

Powdered milk works great in smoothies. Just put 1 cup of water in the blender, add 1/3 cup powdered milk, add the fruit and blend.

Experiment!

Smoothies are easy to make and easy to add things to. Try adding different spices, e.g. peaches and nutmeg go well together. Try adding a combination of fruits. Try adding a couple tablespoons of flaxseed meal for extra fiber and nutrition.

equipment technology allow the procedure to be performed with minimal radiation.

Not everyone is a candidate for atrial fibrillation ablation.

Good candidates are relatively healthy people who have paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, meaning the rhythm comes and goes rather than being permanent, and those who have tried medication therapy, but it is either ineffective or causes intolerable side effects.

In addition to the rhythm itself, a separate issue needs to be addressed, which is the fact that atrial fibrillation increases the risk of stroke. When the top chambers of the heart fibrillate, they are not able to pump blood efficiently and can cause the blood to clot. If a clot gets pumped out of the heart it can travel to the brain and cause a stroke.

Stroke risk can be lowered with medications such as aspirin, Warfarin (common brand name Coumadin) or newer blood thinners and anticoagulants. When deciding the most appropriate medication for a patient, a physician will take into consideration existing risk factors for stroke (age, gender, high blood pressure, diabetes, prior stroke, heart failure and vascular disease) and risk of bleeding.

If you have any of the symptoms listed above, or are concerned in any way about your heart health, please see your primary care provider. If you do not have a provider, please call Samaritan’s Physician Referral Line toll free at 1-800-863-5241 to find a doctor who is right for you.

“We need somebody in the kitchen who is a superstar,” Thompson said. “He has to be an artist, someone who’s doing something he loves doing, but who has to follow a model.”

Born and raised in Europe in Germany, Denmark, Austria and England, Thompson came to Canada and the United States about eight years ago, and located in Lincoln City, where he met Lussier, about three years ago. She was born in Cloverdale, graduated from Nestucca Valley, and has been in the restaurant business her entire life, from dishwasher, to bus girl to server to bartender.

Thompson, who said he spent several years on a self-imposed sabbatical through Tennessee, where he attended college, Florida and Hawaii, is a business major who “thought it was time to get back to work.”

“The biggest thing is neither one of us wanted to leave the area,” he

said. “I love it here, and she grew up here, so we want to create a life for ourselves here.”

Thompson said the building would remain relatively the same with new appliances and modifications to the restrooms with further changes and remodeling possible as the season wears on. The couple prepared for the better part of the winter on feasibility studies and market analysis and wound up with a “500-page document” that indicates that not mere survival, but success, was possible.

“We wanted to create a good business model before we sunk our money and hopes into it,” said Thompson, who already has hired his 16 employees.

“The comparative studies convinced me, yes, there is a possibility that we can make it given our finances, given the current state of the economy and given this is a tourist town where most businesses make money in the summer and survive during the winter. Now, it’s just tenacity, and, hopefully, the goodwill of the local populace.”

One factor in that

“Our practices, generally speaking, will support the local community, and we’ll try to get everything as fresh as we can and without any interference from synthetics or drugs,” he said. “We’ll pay the higher price for organics or free range. We won’t serve food that’s pumped full of anything.”

The restaurant will be closed Mondays and

Tuesdays and will serve lunch and dinner on weekdays through the summer and breakfast

through dinner on weekends.

“This forest is a habitat for wildlife, assists with drainage and storm runoff, and serves as a windbreak during major storms,” she said. “My husband and I purchased a condominium unit at Palisades in 1994 with the dream that, upon retirement from our respective employment in Sacramento, we would be able to retire here. According to the “Citizen’s Guide to Oregon Coastal Management Program”, the essential aim is to strike a balance between conservation of natural resources and development of the economy. The idea of a land swap allows for both.”

The land swap idea surfaced during a City public site review of the development proposal earlier this month. City officials said they have received several emails and letters from area property owners opposing the construction and voicing concerns about the additional traffic that would be generated by the new development.

Following the site review hearing, the applicant, Steve Lindell, of Alpha Building Ventures, requested and received an extension of the June 17 public hearing that had been set to determine the fate of the project. The hearing has been reset for 6 p.m. July 15.

Lincoln City Planning and Development Director Richard Townsend said Lindell made the request to review the land swap idea with city officials.

Depoe Bay City Planner Larry Lewis said the City has received preliminary approval of between $500,000 and $750,000 for the frontage project. A final decision from state and federal highway officials is still months away.

Improving the safety and convenience of pedestrian crossings along the highway has been identified as a high priority for the TSP, according to City officials.

“The list of improvements adds up to millions of dollars,” Flisakowski said. “We will look at the needs of the City and forecast what they

John Michael Becker touches up one of his paintings at the Lincoln City Farmers and Crafters Market.

Farmers markets a recipe for growth JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

From root vegetables, to flowers, to tie-dye shirts and a wide range of artwork, visitors are flocking to Lincoln County’s Farmers markets.

Danny ‘Dan the Magic Man’ Robertson has been painting children’s faces at the Lincoln City Farmers and Crafters Market for the past three years.

He said the crowds continue to increase each year.

“Many people are just planning short trips instead of big long trips across country and they are coming to the Coast,” he said. “We are seeing more and more visitors here at the market.”

The Lincoln City Farmers and Crafters Market moved from the inside of the Lincoln City Cultural Center to the outside lawn of the former Delake School at 540 N.E. Highway 101 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sundays from April to October. This

year, the market is offering an expanded food court and stage for live music.

Megan Gill, president of the market’s board of directors, said the market was established by a group of artists in 2006 and draws about 2,000 visitors each Sunday through the summer.

Painter John Michael Becker came to the Lincoln City Farmers and Crafters Market via Hawaii and Spokane, Wash.

“We are now working in Newport and painting at this

market,” he said. “Of the three shows we’ve done here so far, the Memorial Day weekend was the best. It was packed. I sold a painting right away, even before I was completely set up and open.”

The Lincoln City Farmers and Crafters Market is one of six such markets in Lincoln County.

The markets are also located in Newport, Waldport, Yachats, Toledo and Siletz.

“The markets have gotten more popular in many places,”

Lincoln City Visitors & Convention Bureau Public Relations Coordinator Scott Humpert said. “People are accustommed to coming to them on the weekend.”

Humpert said Lincoln City Farmers and Crafters Market gives visitors an option when they are in town looking for local crafts and food vendor options.

From whale burps and unidentifiable objects that wash up onshore, to surreal beaches with “magic rocks,” there is much of the odd and curious to be found in Oregon and along its coastal beaches.

Is it possible that unusual creatures share the Pacific Northwest with its 10.3 million human occupants? Did a sea monster from prehistoric times wash up in Lincoln City?

What happened when a whale was blown up on a beach in Florence? How do impossible bottles work?

If you are as curious as we are, you will enjoy exploring the strange, odd and unusual,

not to mention unbelievable, in a new exhibit at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum. Opening on Friday, June 6, and running through the end of 2014, Coastal Curiosities is sure to answer some questions while provoking more.

According to museum director Anne Hall, many unusual objects are donated to the museum.

“Sometimes people just drop them off at our door, but most often they come to the museum hoping that we can tell them about the objects they have inherited or found,” she said. “When we can iden-

Earth Abides

By Ken McCormack

There’s still time brother The book “Earth Abides” by George R. Stewart (published in 1947) is part of a huge body of literature about the end of the world.

A young geologist, Ish, takes off with his rock hammer into the woods to do research. When he returns, people have mysteriously disappeared. He wanders through empty streets and stores, eating out of cans.

As he thumbs through old newspapers, he discovers the population has been wiped out by disease. Civilization is over.

If there is a biological law of population increase and decrease, our world is indeed in great danger. Nature seems to work that way. Great swarms of locusts rise up, but then quickly disappear. Lemmings leap into the ocean. Huge populations of rabbits, deer or elk are routinely devastated by disease.

Since biblical times, people have believed the end is near. It must be a comforting thought.

Abandoned cars, empty streets, food rotting on the shelf—it’s almost as though we long for such stuff. We hope to escape the hustle and bustle, the fear and pollution, of modern times.

Our world could end with bird flu or Ebola virus. Or it could be global warming.

As I was growing up during the Cold War, the threat was nuclear weapons. Movies like “On the Beach” ended up with trash blowing down empty streets of a dead civilization. The banner overhead read, “There’s Still Time, Brother.”

Well, there’s still time.

Ish and his hammer have no trouble surviving —p lenty of food, cars, gasoline, and weapons. Most people he encounters, however, are drunk or crazy. The shock is too great!

Domestic animals, dogs, cattle and horses, do surprisingly well. Some creatures like rodents and houseflies have a field day. Most life, in fact, thrives better without people.

Only poodles and body lice really miss us.

Eventually Ish meets Em, the love of his life. They start a family. They soon attract others and create a small tribe.

“This is the Moment Zero” Ish thinks, “and we stand between two eras.”

Environment is, after all, a lot more than rivers and trees; it’s also culture and tradition.

When civilization is destroyed, science, history, and art go with it. Great libraries fall into decay.

Kids can’t read; money and cars become useless.

Tribal life is better, in some ways, without war and inequalities of wealth. The young focus on survival and relationships — on “being part of life as it is.”

They worry less and live more in the present. Life becomes joyful and loving, even sacred and mysterious.

But also superstitious.

Without education, children no longer test ideas against logic and evidence. They just tell stories. They begin to think of Ish, the last American, as a God. His hammer takes on supernatural powers.

When I met George Stewart at Berkeley in the early Sixties, I found him to be irresistibly brilliant. A linguist, historian, and novelist, he seemed to know everything worth knowing. I took his course in Middle English and also read his “Ordeal

By Hunger” about the Donner Party.

Little did I know our world then also stood between two eras.

The academic standards of skill and knowledge embodied in Stewart would become extinct. People would get their stories from movies and television. Their “facts” would come from preachers and politicians, or even extraterrestrials, Big Foot and Rush Limbaugh, Still earth abides. The Coast Range hasn’t changed lately. But civilization stands at the turning point—groping for mystery and beauty. And how are we doing?

Well, “There’s Still Time, Brother!”

You can find almost anything, including tie-dye shirts, at the local farmers markets.

“We are seeing more and more tourists visit Lincoln City’s Farmers and Crafters Market rather than just the locals.” He said. “It’s nice to see that this market had grown over the last few years.”

The Farmers Market in Waldport is open from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Wednesdays and Saturdays, at the Waldport Community Center parking lot, 265 E. Highway 34.

“It does draw quite a few people and sometimes they stay for the market

and go to the other events we offer in the summer.”

Waldport Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Mary Davis said.

“One of the strangest stories is of the sea monster that was found at the D River,” she said. “No one at the time could identify the remains of the creature that washed up on shore, including quite a few scientists. That story left me curious to learn more, so I included it in the exhibit.”

If you are the kind of person that enjoys a mys-

tery, Hall said you would enjoy Coastal Curiosities.

A companion exhibit with the same title and content is opening in Newport at the Bailey House Museum on June 6.

The North Lincoln County Historical Museum is located at 4907 S.W. Highway 101 in Lincoln City. Admission and parking are free.

For more information about the Lincoln City Farmers and Crafters Market, call 541-994-9994.

tify them, all is well, but at times we remain puzzled as to their purpose, time period or the material they are made from. It’s those types of objects we have on display in this exhibit.”

Hall also highlights some of the unusual events that have taken place on the Coast in the exhibit.

Community Center Director Gail Kimbering said.

She said the event is an interactive way to satisfy that curiosity and add a learning opportunity as well.

“Touch-a-Truck was launched just after the Community Center was built in 1980 and is the longest running City event,” she said.

“I took my children to this when they were younger.”

The event also features free refreshments as well as children’s games, clowns, face painting, a cakewalk and raffle prizes. Public safety personnel will be on hand to provide information and updates about emergency preparedness.

“This event helps children get familiar with public safety agencies and the people that represent them,” Kimberling said.

The Lincoln City Senior Center, located inside the Community Center, will also hold an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. June 13 and 14.

Touch-a-Truck is for all ages, and admission is free.
