Concerned citizen Bill Sexton said it short and simple: “Listen to the people” he said. “Raise the water. Be happy.” Sexton was one of several people to fill the Lincoln City City Council Chambers Thursday night, June 12, to voice concerns at the Devils Lake Water Improvement District Board’s regular monthly meeting. The majority of those that spoke urged the board to maintain the water rights and to raise the lake level. The board voted in June 2012 to lower the level of the lake to encourage fish passage, reduce nutrients flushed out of the septic drain field, to improve wetlands and shoreline vegetation and improve recreation opportunities. But over the past several months those opposing the decision have come before the board to outline concerns such as declinSee LAKE, Page A9

Last school day for kids, last career day for teacher JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Taft Elementary School has been home for teacher Todd Davidson for the last 30 years. “This is home,” he said. “My parents and my brother went to Taft, and I went to this school as a kid too.” Davidson said over his career he has taught the parents and even grandparents of many of his students today. “It’s a history of kids, generations, that I have had in my classroom,” he said. On June 13, the last day of the school year, Davidson celebrated his last career day as a teacher. He is retiring. Davidson said many of the children at Taft come from a variety of backgrounds and each one needs consistency in their

The kids go home and sometimes there isn’t anyone there and sometimes there isn’t anything to eat. So we feed them when they are at school. I hug them and give them a big smile. They need that.” Davidson decided when
he began his teaching career not to get married or to have children to keep his energy going. “So the children here at Taft have really become my children,” he said. “I take care of them during the day, but I get to go home and be quite at night to reenergize.” Davidson said he is encouraged that the children at Taft will be in good hands as he leaves. “I don’t feel sad today, because I know the next generation coming up to take care of these kids are really committed to them, so I can walk away, go off, and not worry about them,” he said. His advice to both students and children is simple. “Education is amazingly important, but it is not going to sink in unless See TEACHER, Page A9

sion of what appeared to be a large semi-automatic handgun. During the investigation, evidence was discovered implicating Bogart’s boyfriend, Jordan Stephens, 19, as being directly involved in the robbery. Police continued their investigation at the Spyglass Apartment complex at 950 S.E. 32nd Street. Bogart and Stephens were contacted and police learned that the
two conspired with two other friends to commit the robbery. The other two male robbery suspects were identified as also being inside an apartment at the complex. Officers surrounded the area and were able to talk the other two remaining suspects into exiting the apartment and surrendering. They were identified as Christopher Loring, 26, and Brett Betts, 26, both Lincoln City area residents.
An uninvolved female from inside the apartment was also detained for questioning but eventually released. Inside Loring’s apartment, police recovered the $435 in cash allegedly stolen from Imagine That, an Airsoft handgun allegedly used during the robbery. Officers also recovered a large amount of adult themed items, glass smoking pipes, and various clothing and miscellaneous items that
had been allegedly stolen during the pre-planned robbery. The recovered value of merchandise was more than $3,800. Bogart, Stephens, Loring, and Betts were all arrested and taken into custody for various crimes based on their involvement with the conspiracy to commit robbery, theft, and other associated crimes. Bogart has also been charged with initiating a false police report.

The two issues have been at the center of public debate for several months. Townsend said the Yes/No Zones were proposed by the Consensus Committee. “The committee was trying to provide maximum protection to neighborhoods that don’t have VRDs while loosening restrictions on existing VRDs,” he said. The City Council began deliberating a set of controversial regulations to deal with the VRDs March 10. At that meeting, the Council agreed to health and safety regulations recommended by the City staff and parking and landscaping regulations recommended by the City’s VRD Consensus Committee.

According to the 911 call, two armed suspects reportedly forced employee David Bogart, 38, into a bathroom after locking him in a pair of handcuffs. Bogart told the Lincoln City Police dispatcher that he was able to place a 911 call while still handcuffed after he believed the two suspects had left the building.

KNOW YOUR LAKE
Urgent Care for Your Family
at Bayshore Medical - Lincoln City
“Know Your Lake” is a periodic article from the Devils Lake Water Improvement District about our plans for the betterment of Devils Lake.
SUMMER LAKE LEVEL OPTIONS There has been a lot of talk lately about summer lake level. Here is a simple explanation of our options. First, please note that all measurements mentioned below are in tenths of a foot above sea level. For instance, 8.5 feet means 8½ feet or 8’6” above sea level. A man-made dam was installed 17 years ago between the Lake and the mouth of the D River. The district has a permit from the State of Oregon to use the dam to raise the summer lake level to as high as 9.53 feet through July of each summer. After July, the permit requires inflows to equal outflows. Evaporation causes the lake level to decline a few inches in August and September, and the permit does not allow us to make up for evaporation.
Open Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Open July 4 and Labor Day from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Walkins welcome. For significant pain, injury or difficulty breathing, always dial 9-1-1 for emergency care.

Our options are as follows: • If we start with the maximum level of 9.53 feet in June and maintain that level through July, we end up at a level of about 9.0 feet at the end of September. • If we start at 9.0 feet in June and maintain that level through July, we end up at a level of about 8.6 feet at the end of September. • If we do not use the dam, which would allow “natural hydrology” to take its course, the historical record shows lake level would start at about 9.0 feet on June 1 and decline more gradually for the next four months to about 8.6 feet by the end of September.
My family means a lot to me, and I want to do everything I can to help them succeed. It's the same with my clients. I want to help grow their businesses and watch them succeed.

Mckensie Henson is spending her summer doing what she loves, riding her horse Blu and preparing to enter the finalist competition in the Miss Teen Rodeo Oregon Pageant to be held at the Philomath Fair and Rodeo in July. “I have been riding all my life,” she said. “It is a passion for me.” Now, Henson, 15, of Lincoln City, wants to take her passion to the next level and compete. “I am pretty confident and excited about the pageant,” she said. “Being involved is mostly for the experience and the chance to meet many people.” Henson said as Miss Teen Rodeo, she would be an Oregon ambassador. “I would do multiple rodeos across the state, visit schools and do public speaking before civic and community groups,” she said. But Henson acknowledges that the competition for Miss Teen Rodeo will be challenging. “They judge you on horsemanship,” she said.

Fortner receives Tom Moore Award THE NEW GUARD
Heather Fortner is the Lincoln County School District’s Tom Moore Memorial Award winner. The Tom Moore Award is given to one individual who best exemplifies the volunteer spirit by giving his or her heart and soul to the district’s school children. The award was presented to Fortner in recognition of her willingness to coordinate the Toledo Arts Guild afterschool arts program at Toledo Junior/Senior High School, and sharing her expertise and love for a variety of visual arts with students. Fortner said the honor belongs to everyone at the Toledo Arts Guild. In nominating Fortner, TJSHS Principal Clint Raever stated that when the school’s art program was cut for the 2012-13 school year because of staffing reductions, he contacted the guild with the hopes of establishing an afterschool arts program for his students. At that time, Sandy Blackman helped get the program off the ground and they had a very successful first year, Raever said. When Blackman stepped away due to other obligations, Fortner took over. “Heather has done an

Baker named Teacher of the Year JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Taft Elementary School fifthgrade teacher Valerie Baker has been named Teacher of the Year by the Lincoln County Education Association (LCEA). Baker has taught in the district since November 1992 – 13 years at Arcadia Elementary School in Toledo and the past seven years at Taft. “I am deeply honored,” she told The News Guard. “This is a total surprise. So many of our teachers in the district work so hard and so often go unrecognized. This recognition is very meaningful. Teaching is what I have spent my heart and sole on for many years.” Fellow teacher Kimberly Miller wrote the nomination letter, which was signed by more than two-dozen others. “I have never witnessed a
more resourceful, exuberant, talented, and respectful teacher as Valerie Baker,” Miller wrote. “Over the years, Ms. Baker has proven herself a devoted educator with a clear understanding of the necessity for student handson participation. I must say that writing this letter and talking with colleagues about how deserving Valerie is of this award was worth the time and energy because we believe that she is the Teacher of the Year every year!” The award was presented to Baker on June 6 by Margie Grinnell, LCEA president, during a private reception held by school staff. The nomination reads, in part: “Because of our Ms. Baker and her many talents, our fifth graders have created a school wildlife habitat and outdoor learning garden outside our classroom windows, transforming the area from blight to bright.

Valerie encouraged students to create garden art with recycled materials. With Valerie’s understanding of technology, as a member of the LCSD SEAL Grant, students were able to use iPad minis for research and
reading.” Baker is lauded for teaching her students about wildlife, stewardship and watersheds, the local fishing community, and ocean science; and for integrating science, technology, engineering, and math into all projects. In addition, she sponsored the afterschool art club for 18 years. District officials said Baker’s influence extends districtwide, beyond her classroom and school. She found time to become a trainer for Singapore Math, and shared with staff several strategies at monthly meetings. She also was able to jump onboard the LCSD Collaboration Grant as a member of the Professional Development Committee and Taft’s Professional Development Team. Baker spent four years on the Teaching American History grant, creating a traveling trunk on the history of schools in Lincoln County.

Be patient, change is coming for hospital GUEST COLUMN Mich McLean
Tammy Trachtenberg’s Letter to News Guard Editor earlier this month is a timely and well-worded expression of appreciation for the services we have available at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, as well as the local and visiting physicians and support staff that assures our community hospital continues a tradition of close-up personal and high quality care. It is also an expression of concern for our aging facilities that limits ability to adapt and progress with 21st Century medicine. The Board of Directors of North Lincoln Hospital District agrees with Ms. Trachtenberg’s observation that, “… change is coming and it can’t come soon enough!” The first major step is complete. We completed a comprehensive Facility Assessment and were not surprised to learn that it was time to get serious about major reinvestment or replacement of the 1967 facility. It has simply served its useful life as a building, was designed for an era when acute care was the core activity, and
infrastructure, such as electrical capacity, had reached its limit. (This latter finding derailed plans to add a new Trauma Room to be ready for this summer’s surge.) Rather than continue with piecemeal investments, we and our Corvallis-based Samaritan Health Services partner agreed to pause and develop a Master Plan for the Future. Speaking of our SHS partners, eight rural hospitals closed in Oregon between 1986 and 2000. This was a turbulent period for rurals, North Lincoln Hospital included. One solution was to seek a major System partner with core strength and a support network. The District contracted with SHS in 2000. This has brought stability, added services and physicians to North Lincoln County and even bonus elements for a healthy community such as the collaborative effort between the City of Lincoln City, the District, and SHS, our Early Learning Center. A Master Plan is currently in the works. While we agree “…change can’t come soon enough,” this may take some time. Health Care reform ef-

Sheriff’s Tips Segways, scooters, bikes road restrictions By Sheriff Dennis Dotson
Consumers are faced with many choices in our growing world market. Electronics, cars, clothing, entertainment, and the list goes on. Another growing market has been in the area of personal transSheriff portation. Electric Dennis Dotson and gas scooters, mini motorcycles or pocket bikes, mopeds, Segways, electric assisted bicycles, skate scooters, skateboards and roller or in-line skates continue to be popular. There are restrictions for the operation of all of these devices on public roadways and premises open to the public. It’s important that riders and parents of young riders be kept well informed of those restrictions. Being in-
formed can be the difference in not being injured or losing a life. There are minimum age restrictions for some devices such as electric and gas scooters, mopeds, Segways and electric assisted bicycles (16 years). Helmets are required while operating all of the listed devices above except the Segway. DOT approved hel-
mets are required for all riders of mopeds, pocket bikes and mini motorcycles. Bike helmets are required for everyone riding an electric or gas scooter. Pocket bikes and mini motorcycles can only be operated on private property as the law treats these as “off-road use only vehicles.” Operation of these vehicles
on public roadways and premises open to the public places the operator at risk of being cited for a variety of violations in addition to the vehicle being towed. A person can be arrested for driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) when operating most of these devices on public roadways and premises open to the public. All but the mini motorcycles and pocket bikes can be legally operated on bicycle paths and lanes; mopeds only while under human power. There is a great deal of confusion and misinformation related to the operation of all of these modes of transportation. To assist you in figuring out what the laws are for each device, and to download a useful operating guide, visit the Oregon Department of Transportation’s web site at: http://www.oregon.gov/ ODOT/DMV/docs/pocketbikeguide.pdf.

I feared that he would never be free of the drugs and alcohol controlling his life. He is free of all of it. He was out of my life for years because of his anger at the death of his father. I was prepared for my son to be next one to die; and, I was so mad that I decided I

tions frequencies and the concerns for public safety agency inter-operability, it was necessary to seek funding to rebuild our system,” Lincoln County Sheriff Dennis Dotson said. The system allows first responders to better receive and communicate information, said Lincoln County Sheriff’s Lieutenant Curtis Landers. “We were always quick, but now law enforcement and fire personnel can communicate much more effectively,” he said. Landers said the former system presented challenges for effective emergency communications. He said the primary problem was coverage issues. “Deputies and fire crews were not able to communicate in certain areas and that created safety issues,” he said. “We didn’t have enough tower ties to provide effective and adequate coverage. It was an aging system that was barely holding on.” Landers said there was also the issue of interference with all the cell phones being used throughout the county. Dotson said the communications system was rebuilt from the ground up. Old tower sites were upgraded to meet higher standards, new tower sites were constructed, a robust microwave system linking all of the tower sites together with a high speed connection was added, narrowband repeaters were purchased to meet Federal guidelines, and a five channel simulcast system was installed. “Now, we have new antenna systems, new lines to help filter out the interference, and new tower sites at Euchre Mountain north of Siletz and at Cape Perpetua,” Landers said. The five-channel simulcast system creates two law enforcement channels, two fire channels, and a county road channel. A simulcast system automatically selects the best repeater site and provides communications for the entire county and broadcasts it over all areas. “Previously, a patrol
deputy or firefighter in Otis could not communicate to a deputy or firefighter in Newport over the radio,” Dotson said. “Public safety personnel can now communicate to one another anywhere in the county providing a significant improvement in firefighter and officer safety.” Dotson said the simulcast system provides true inter-operability countywide. Every user, all three dispatch centers Willamette Valley Communications Center (WVCC), Toledo Police, and Lincoln City Police, and the new back-up center at the jail can communicate with each other during a disaster or large-scale event. The microwave and simulcast systems each have redundancy capability, Dotson said. The microwave system includes a loop within Lincoln County. If one link fails, the system will correct itself and follow a different path. The microwave system also has a redundant connection to the valley

from both Table Mountain and Prairie Peak. Dotson said there were many delays over the past year due to issues involving vendors, funding, siting and land use for new towers, and delays from the State of Oregon. The original active date of the law enforcement channels was scheduled for November 2013. “While the radio communications project was experiencing problems, dispatch services experienced problems as well,” he said.
With the merger of former LinCom users to WVCC, Dotson said there were personnel issues involving vacancies and training. “This resulted in police officers not being answered and phone calls from citizens being lost or not properly handled at times,” he said. “There were no reported injuries or loss of life from any of these errors.” Read more at thenewsguard.com.

NORTH LINCOLN HOSPITAL CAN DO BETTER My name is Launi Miller. I’ve lived in Lincoln City for most of my life and I’m a phlebotomist at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. As a phlebotomist, I work across our hospital, from ER to the Processing Department, drawing blood and running tests in our lab to help diagnose and treat our patients. One thing I’ve learned about my job – there is no such thing as a small mistake. Every blood draw, every test is critical. I love my job. We’ve got a top-notch team and take great pride in the care we provide. And though we oftentimes work in a pressure cooker environment, I love that I have the ability to make people who come in our hospital feel safe and know they are cared for. And though I love my job, many hospital workers like myself are concerned that Samaritan is leaving us and our community behind. Samaritan continues to pay us less while asking us to pay more for our healthcare than other Samaritan hospitals right down the road. We are not asking for much, just for Samaritan to do the right thing by treating hospital workers here in Lincoln City the same as in Newport and the Valley. That’s why I’m asking you to join hospital workers, community members and elected leaders as we stand up for good jobs and quality care in our community.

o matter how many safety measures you put in place, bad things can still happen. Sue Graves, Lincoln County School District Safety Coordinator
Lincoln County School District Safety Measures • Frequent student evacuation drills • Security cameras • Electronic exterior door locks
• School intercom systems • Classroom telephones • School bus telephones • Two-way radios critical announcements during emergency situations. All classrooms have telephones so that staff can quickly call the office or 911 if necessary in an emergency. “Several staff at each school use two-way radios for communications when out and about around campus, including those supervising students who may be meeting outside for classes or recess,” she said. “We also have a mass phone-call system to make timely communications with parents. All of our buses are also equipped with two-way radios.” Graves said if there were a security breach, such as a shooter, the staff would take immediate protective measures to protect students and staff by locking down the school. Students are trained to hide in the classrooms with the doors locked. If students were on the playground teachers would move students away from the threat. “We give them guidelines and they have permission to deviate
from the plan and to take action to implement life saving measures whenever doing so is likely to reduce the risk of serious injury or death,” said Graves. Graves said the Taft 7-12 High is the only school in the district to have a police resource officer on duty. She said the City of Lincoln City pays the cost for the resource officer. “We are so grateful to Lincoln City for that funding,” she said. The school resource officer continues to be an amazing safety measure. The officer is proactive by developing trusting relationships with the students.” Taft High 7-12 Vice Principal Nick Lupo said social media also plays a role in school safety. “If you have a good culture and kids are communicating, using social media, and they are reaching out to tell someone about a possible threat,” he said. “We hope to get wind of any situation that could be threatening or deadly. We try to do our best to keep the drills going, keep communication open and keep the kids safe.” Graves said the next step in security could be similar to a fire alarm pull system already in place at the schools. “If there was a security threat, someone could push the button and it would trigger a pre recorded safety message allowing teachers, staff and students to take precautionary measures and at the same time police and first responders would be immediately notified,” she said. “These security breaches happen so fast. If we take a really fast response in our schools we could reduce and eliminate death and save lives.” Graves said the security pull alarm system idea originated during discussions with the Lincoln County Sheriff ’s staff. “It seems like a logical security approach,” Graves said. “We need to do something and we need to find a way to fund what we decide to do with additional security.” Coming in the June 25 edition of The News Guard, how the school district and county are working to problem solve gaps in mental health services for students to help them before they turn to violence.

Getting just the right flower arrangement is the key to your success. A professional florist will know how to make the colors, types of flowers and even scent work for your occasion. If you are purchasing a floral arrangement for an event, ask the venue staff for recommendations. They are often familiar with the best florists in the area. Be sure to ask them for their experiences, as well as how much they paid for the services. Call each florist to check their availability. If a florist is unavailable, ask them for a referral. Meanwhile, determine your flower budget. It will be a factor in your decision-making process. i r Also, look for floral arrangements in magazines or online. Clip out these Choose a Flo photos and put them in a notebook or email to the florist. Cut out swatches of color and bring them with you. Once you have a list of florists who are available set up an appointment for a consultation and ask if they have a fee associated with their consult. This allows the florist to give you their undivided attention. Upon entering each floral shop, look at the cleanliness and organization. Are the pathways clear of plants, tools and debris? Is the staff friendly and warm? All plants and flowers should be well-maintained and attractively arranged. Employees should be attentive. The best florists have a wide range of options in their showroom. During the interview, ask if the florist has previously provided services for weddings at the event location. Each facility has unique rules about what they will allow in their location. She will know and can adhere to the rules. Inform the florist of your budget and ask for recommendations. Bring information on your gown, bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. Most florists have a scrapbook of their previous work. Each professional brings a sense of personal style to her arrangements. Be sure to show the florist your notebook. Discuss the arrangements you prefer. If you are holding a large event, the florist might have recommendations about other event professionals. A friendly, well-established relationship between your caterer and florist is especially important. Once you have chosen your florist, be certain to confirm the type of arrangements you will receive. You should also know when the arrangements will arrive at the venue and who is responsible for placing the flowers in the appropriate spots. When you are pleased with a company’s work, you might assist the shop with providing positive references and reviews. A professional florist will help you go a long way toward establishing the right atmosphere for your event. The vivid colors and pleasant aroma will convey the right ambience for your special day.

Following the deadly shooting at Reynolds High School in Troutdale Tuesday, June 10, Lincoln County School District officials want parents and students to know that the district has taken school safety very seriously. “Unfortunately, this could happen anywhere,” Lincoln County School District Safety Coordinator Sue Graves said. “No matter how many safety measures you put in place, bad things can still happen.” But Graves and other district officials said they believe the district’s policies and procedures now in place would be as effective as possible. “We have many security measures in place to decrease the likelihood of such an event happening here to prevent undesirable behavior and to improve response including regular school drills,” she said. Graves said the Oregon Legislature required that schools conduct at least two lockdown drills annually. Our school district has been ahead of the curve with the lockdown drills,” she said. “We have been doing the drills for more than 10 years. We do about two drills a month. One is a fire drill the other is either a lockdown, earthquake or shelter in place drill. Graves said the shelter in place drill is important in the event of a chemical spill at or near a district school. “We have many trucks carrying chemicals and hazardous materials up and down Highway 101 every day and go to and from the area mills and bay fronts,” she said. “There is a daily risk of a possible environmental disaster.” Graves said each room of the schools can be sealed off with the shelter in place during such emergencies. “We discovered that we did not have a coordinated system wide emergency plan about 10 years ago,” she said. A school district team worked with law enforcement and fire to develop a customized all hazard plan.” Graves said the plan deals with shootings, natural disasters and medical emergencies. “We are really fortunate in Lincoln County to have and practice such a comprehensive plan,” she said. “It is key in our response. We all know what the procedures are and we can practice them and when an emergency occurs we can respond quickly and effectively.” School building security includes electronic locks for exterior doors, cameras, and school-wide intercom systems to make

Eugene man captured after crime spree, chases in Lincoln City, Tillamook County A Eugene man faces multiple charges in two different counties after an attempted break-in and high-speed police chase in Lincoln City, and another high-speed chase in Tillamook County that resulted in a crash. Lincoln City Police Lieutenant Jerry Palmer said the incident began Tuesday evening June 10, after Matthew Owen Reniff, 36, allegedly used a hatchet to smash the front window of the Nike Store at the Tanger Fac-
tory Outlet Center. “A citizen encountered Reniff and he ran from the store,” Palmer said. “Our officers were called to the site and a high speed pursuit began,” Palmer said. “Witnesses said speeds reached 100 miles an hour. Reniff was involved in a hit and run crash at Logan Road and Highway 101 and he disappeared.” Palmer said no one was hurt in the hit and run crash. At approximately
10:15 p.m., an Oregon State Police (OSP) trooper attempted to stop a 2006 BMW passenger car northbound on Highway 101 near milepost 64 for failure to display headlights. The driver failed to yield and fled northbound at a high rate of speed until the trooper lost sight near milepost 57 and terminated the pursuit. Local agencies were notified to be on the lookout. A Tillamook County deputy saw the
vehicle just north of Wheeler and unsuccessfully attempted to deploy spike strips. The vehicle continued northbound where the Manzanita police chief saw it. The driver attempted to elude Manzanita police northbound on North Fork Road where the driver lost control and crashed near milepost 3. The driver fled on foot into a swamp. During the early morning hours officers spotted him in heavy brush. At approximately
5 a.m., the driver surrendered and was taken into custody. The vehicle was determined to be stolen out of the Eugene area. Police identified the driver as Reniff. He was taken to the Tillamook County Jail and booked on multiple charges including felony attempt to elude in a vehicle, misdemeanor attempt to elude on foot and driving while suspended. Palmer said Reniff could also face charges in Lincoln City.

Attorneys are scheduled to meet June 23 in a trial ready conference before Judge Sheryl Bachart. Hiatt, 52, was charged in the death of Richard Swanson, 42, who was on a walk from Seattle to Brazil to attend the World Cup soccer tournament. Police said Swanson was walking southbound along Highway 101 in Cutler City when he was struck from behind by a pickup truck driven by Hiatt.

Carolyn Plummer, a Consensus Committee member, said she is increasingly concerned that the Council is moving away from the committee’s original recommendations. “I hope that they will listen to what the people want,” she said. “They don’t seem to be doing that.” Plummer said in the last few council meetings, when the VRD issues came up, regardless of the consensus committee’s recommendations, the council acted on their own. “When it got down to where VRDs are allowed or encouraged or even welcomed, it seems as if they are moving away from that and even talking about limiting the number of nights and areas that would have been considered Yes Zones,” she said. “It’s disgusting.” Plummer said the

Consensus Committees recommendations were clear and the members acknowledged that the VRDs are considered to be a contributing factor to the community’s economic health. “That’s what the people want,” she said. “If you are an elected official, isn’t it your job to do what the people want?” But Townsend and City Attorney Richard Appleicello said the public record following the public comment period concerning the VRDs is closed and the Council is not required to take additional public testimony.

district’s water rights and is good for the health of the lake. “The preservation of the water rights is a positive action that the majority of the board recognized and that is important,” Mark Christie, a Devils Lake Neighborhood Association director said. “They did the right thing.” But Christie said more has to be done to retain the lake level at 9.53 feet. “That is still a concern for us,” he said. “But for now, we are going to move past that issue and push on to other things that show the folks in Lincoln
City that this is a concerted effort and we are about the betterment of the lake.” Christie said the association would likely back candidates in next spring’s DLWID board election that would bring more of a balanced approach to the lake management, including efforts to improve the recreational quality of the lake. “One of the main issues is preserving the values of properties on and around the lake,” he said. “If the property values go down, that will be detrimental for the entire county.”

Along Garden Paths
By Karen Brown
The joy of June! With June in full glory, the scenery on our garden walks has shifted from brilliant rhodies and azaleas to the riot of color that annuals and perennials provide. Freshly greened conifers and leafy trees add a beautiful background to the vista. The rapid march of passing seasons will continue and the palette will shift again and again, but we always keep summer in our memories for its variety of colors and textures, both close up in our own gardens and to admire as we pass by on our travels. Hanging baskets dominate the offerings in nurseries and stores this month. To keep any you may have blooming so beautifully all through the summer, be sure to water and fertilize generously. A full basket needs flooding with water every day, and even if a long lasting fertilizer was incorporated into the soil mix, it will need liquid feed as the season progresses. Follow label instructions on whatever soluble fertilizer you choose, and apply with your watering weekly for best results. More food in the water is not better! Grooming is another habit that contributes to the beauty of your baskets. Trim back straggly stems to keep new growth thick and full. Remove spent blooms to keep things looking tidy. Inspect for insect infestation and treat if necessary. Outdoor baskets rarely need this step, but you can head off problems if you find them early. Often just snipping off infested growth will be enough. Periodic showers of rain during June help to keep plants rinsed and fresh, but do not apply enough water that you can ignore the daily flooding. Once June is past, it is likely that there will not be enough rain to rinse off foliage, so a bath for your plants is also a good idea. Dust on the foliage prevents the plant from making full use of the light it receives. Such basic rules for plant care also apply to flower beds, planters of all kinds and the established shrubbery in your garden. Watering can be less often, but when needed is no less important. Watch of drooping leaves and check the soil under the surface to judge watering frequency. For established plants, even lawns, daily is not good. I’m a vegetable garden lover, and I don’t think it is too late to plant until the 4th of July fireworks fade away. In fact, for autumn food, many varieties can be planted until after the first of August. So if you’re running late, as I often am, don’t despair. Just plan to continue eating this fall and keep on planting now. Some crops such as leaf lettuce, short season cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, and carrots and bush beans are perfectly happy to ripen well into October. Why bother, you say? Home grown produce has many charms. If you only grow a little bit, you will feel extra proud of yourself. If you grow a lot, you’ll be saving at the grocery store, eating more healthy food, and having fun doing it. You’ll never taste a green bean as good as what grows in Western Oregon and is cooked within minutes of picking! Having a green onion for the supper salad without buying a bundle is handy, and fresh herbs picked just before preparing your meal have the best flavor ever. With all this vigorous growth characteristic of early summer, weeds are thriving too. Make an effort to control them while they are small, and never ever let them get mature enough to set seed and spread it all over your landscape. Many of them have seeds that last for years, so the fewer seeds formed, the better. Just mowing or cutting off the tops can be very helpful if you don’t have time to do more than that. No matter what else you do, take time to enjoy garden paths in June. Karen Brown can be reached at wkbrown@embarqmail.

not only learn theater skills, like self-expression, but life skills, such as how to work together as a team for a common purpose. “And that they understand that hard work is a part of that and when you work together as a team you can produce a great result in a short amount of time,” she said. Epperson and her husband, Brian, have been working with the Missoula Children’s Theatre since 2003. They were the directors of the Theatre’s Lincoln City 2012 production, “The Frog Prince.” This is the 9th year that the Cultural Center will host a touring production from the Missoula Children’s Theatre, based in Missoula, Mont. “These shows come complete with costumes, scenery, props and makeup, and are led by well-trained, dynamic directors from around the country,” Lincoln City Cultural Center Director Niki Price said. The Epperson’s have directed children from across the nation in a variety of plays. “There is a joy working with kids,” Epperson said. “They want to explore and have fun. They do it for the fun of it and to entertain. Epperson said there are challenges in directing children on stage. “We deal with all kinds of kids,” she said. ”Some with experience and some who have never been on a stage in their life. You approach it with a sense of play and pretend and make believe like children do in their own backyard. We just take that, give them a script, and put them in front of an audience.” Epperson said she tells the children actors to speak loudly, express themselves with their face and their body and be able follow directions, but often, it’s a matter of helping the child get over their shyness. “You pull them out little by little,” she said. “Each
To help make him feel at home, the Aquarium purchased large tubs for him to jump in, just like he had on exhibit in Monterey. They fill the tubs with cold water and toys, or sometimes even ice, which is a preferred lounging surface for sea otters. Oswald and trainers alike appear to be developing the trust they need to work together successfully. During a photo shoot for this story, Oswald groomed his fur until he dozed off for a snooze in the afternoon sun. Napping while surrounded by humans is not typical for energetic, curious young otters, but Oswald appeared utterly relaxed with his trainers and a photographer in his quaran-

step is progress. We create a safe and fun environment where they feel comfortable expressing themselves.” On June 16, auditions for the musical for children first through 12th grades were held at the Cultural Center. Rehearsals continue this week. Epperson and her husband also offer three optional 45-minute theatre education workshops, outside of required rehearsal time, on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. Last year, 94 children auditioned for the 60 parts available for Children’s Theatre performance of “The Wizard of Oz.” To help make the performance experience possible for more local children, the Cultural Center has expanded its participation the Children’s Theatre with “Pinocchio” June 16-21, and “Blackbeard the Pirate” Aug. 4-9. Price said participation will stay free for local kids, thanks to the board

of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, the Ankeny Family, Ty Mills Ace Hardware and North Lincoln Sanitary Service. Donations and sponsorships are still needed. Price said each weeklong production, including the fee to the Children’s Theatre, staff time and auditorium expenses, costs the Cultural Center about $3,900. “But we have pledged to offer this program, twice this summer, because it’s an incredible opportunity for our students,” she said. “They learn to listen and follow directions, while they memorize their parts, work with others and address their performance fears. We don’t want anything to stand in their way.” To contribute to the summer productions of “Pinocchio” and “Blackbeard the Pirate,” call the Cultural Center at 541-994-9994. The musical “Pinocchio” will be presented at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, June 21, in the auditorium at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Tickets are $10 reserved (A Section), $5 general (B Section), and free for kids 12 and under with a paid adult.
tine area. That Aquarium’s mammalogists chose the seven month old pup’s name to honor Oswald West. West was the former Oregon governor who signed landmark legislation in 1913 that made all 362 miles of Oregon’s beaches permanently open for public use. Oswald was discovered orphaned in Santa Barbara County, California in November 2013. He was brought to the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Otter Research and Conservation (SORAC) program, where he was called Otter 649 for being the 649th otter to arrive there for rehabilitation. Lacking an available surrogate sea otter mother to coach him how to be a wild otter, he was deemed non-
releasable by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Oswald spent a few months in the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s exhibit with Gidget, a surrogate mother sea otter in training, before heading to Newport. Once he completes his quarantine period and advances adequately in his training, he will join the other otters in the Aquarium’s Sea Otter Exhibit later this summer.
their community,” he said. “They get to see many of the moving parts and learn what makes a community successful. It also gives them an opportunity to learn about the resources that are available and the work that is put into different aspects of the community.” McShane said the camp activities include hands-on projects to help the children learn and develop. “Almost all of our activities are hands-on and interactive, which provides the children the opportunity to experience successes and failures and receive feedback,’ he said. “Also,
our schedule is constantly changing which doesn’t allow for complacency, thus keeping the campers interests peaked. They get to learn what they have done well and what needs improvement.” The cost to attend the camp can be broken down to half-day, full day, and weekly. A half-day, which is five hours or less is $10 per child. A full day, which is more than five hours is $20. The weekly cost is $85 for residents and $100 for non-residents.

work together,” he said. “Often times the older kids learn how to help the younger kids.” The Community Center’s summer camp program started in 2003. Each summer a variety of activities are offered that help connect the children to the community and surrounding environment. “The campers partake in arts and crafts, computers, and many different physical activities,” McShane said. “They take four or five bus field trips to various places. There is also an array of presentations that they get to see from local businesses and groups, including Lincoln City Police, North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and The News Guard.” Camp activities also include afternoon swimming at the Community Center pool, treks to the beach, to the Bijou Theater, and to Delake Bowl. McShane said the local community connections are a vital part of the camp experience. “It is important because it gives the campers an opportunity to learn about
