Dave Sleeman is looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Sleeman owns the Dory Cove Restaurant at 2981 S.W. Highway 101. The restaurant has been in the center of the Nelscott Gap Improvement Project for the past several months. ”My sales have been cut almost 30 percent,” he said. “In April I laid off a couple of employees. I have been waiting tables to minimize the labor costs.” Sleeman said, as the project got under way both entrances at the restaurant were blocked by heavy equipment. He said the night work was also disruption. “It was like a Friday

Peace Run comes to Lincoln City JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Using foot power, about a dozen members of the Sri Chinmoy-Home Peace run arrived for a visit at the Lincoln City Community Center Friday afternoon, June 20, with an Oregon runner. “My uncle has been with the run from the very beginning and I’ve been involved since I was about two feet tall,” Eugene resident and runner Joseph DeAngelo said. “Bringing the message of peace and harmony and the physical health of the run is what keeps me involved.” The Peace Run is an international torch relay that travels the world to encourage goodwill, harmony and friendship at the local level, according to Peace Run spokesperson Prakhara Harter. During the event in Lincoln City, the runners met with children at the Community Center’s summer camp. The runners offered an educational presentation to promote self-esteem and friendship. Each child also had a chance to touch the Torch and join a brief run around the Center’s playground. “The Torch symbolizes passing on goodwill and hopes and dreams for a peaceful world,” she said. Harter said an estimated 50,000 children in over 1,000 cities and towns on the North American route are expected to participate as the Peace Run visits schools and youth organi-

For the first time the continuous relay will link Canada, Mexico and the US during its 4-month journey covering over 10,000 miles before arriving back in New York mid-August. The European relay started in Portugal in February and will end in Serbia in October after running some 16,000 miles. The Asia-Pacific segment will go through 13 countries in four months. The Peace Run was inspired in 1987 by the

visionary Sri Chinmoy as a way to give citizens a way to express their own hopes and dreams for a more harmonious world. An athlete, philosopher, artist, musician and poet, Sri Chinmoy dedicated his life to advancing the ideals of world harmony. The runners left Lincoln City Saturday, June 21, running through Otis, Grand Ronde, Willamina, McMinnville, Newberg, Sherwood, Tigard and Portland on their way to Washington and into Canada.

$40k approved for wall JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Work to redo the brickwork on the south exterior wall at the Lincoln City Cultural Center could take place before the winter rainy season, according to City officials. The Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency on June 23 approved $40,000 for the project following a recommendation by Lincoln City City Manager David Hawker. “We will have this building for a long time,” he said “It is time to fix it right.” Cultural Center Director Niki Price said contractors will now review the project and come back with an estimated cost. On Monday, March 3, the exterior panels on the center’s southeast corner settled and separated more than four inches away from the main structure, creating an im-

mediate hazard to the entire south parking lot, according to Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency Director Kurt Olsen. After a quick evaluation from Stricker Engineering, which confirmed the danger, crews from Quade Construction removed the unstable wall early Wednesday, March 5. The consulting engineer, Andrew Stricker of Stricker Engineering, estimated that the 30-foot wall weighed about 16,000 pounds. The panels were part of a cladding wall, a protective

layer installed to protect and insulate. “It was made of six panels, concrete aggregate over wire mesh, which were attached to wood supports and then to the original brick wall, ” he said. Olsen said the panels were installed at least 30 years ago to stop leaks in the brick on the east side. The Center is housed at the former Delake School at 540 N.E. Highway 101 and is owned by the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency.

COST OF BEING CONNECTED Charter going all digital TV in Lincoln City

THE NEWS GUARD

Charter Communications customers in Lincoln City will soon have access to more than 190 high definition (HD) channels, improved picture quality and significantly faster Internet speeds as Charter completes its move to a 100 percent all-digital network throughout the first half of 2014. “By removing outdated analog signals, we regain bandwidth in our network enabling us to provide more HD channels and open the door to faster Internet speeds and future innovation,” Charter President and CEO Tom Rutledge said. “This upgrade provides our customers with the very best products at the very best value and we’ve invested more than $2 billion in our fiber-rich network to make that happen.”

Charter Communications will switch its Lincoln City customers to all-digital television July 15. The all-digital upgrade begins July 15 with customers transitioning to an all-digital network. As part of this upgrade process, customers must take action by acquiring Charter-issued digital set-top boxes for each of

their televisions. “The cost of the digital set-top box is $6.99 per month, per box, after the customer’s promotional period ends,” Charter Senior Manager of Communications Jack Hardy said.

The Lincoln City upgrades will take place July 15. Charter officials said it is important for customers to take action before the transition. Charter is communicating with customers about this scheduled transition

via direct mail, bill messages, outbound calls and messages that will appear on their television set prior to the transition. “Customers who have a cable hooked to their television set from the wall are using the old style analog system and will have to obtain a settop box from Charter to receive the digital upgrade,” Hardy said. Customers can obtain the digital boxes through direct shipment to their home by calling 1-888438-2427 to request a self-installation kit, or may pick up equipment at a nearby Charter store. The Charter store at 2800 S.E. Highway 101 in Lincoln City is open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. with expanded hours on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. July 7 through August 2. Charter has already completed all-digital upgrades in several markets including parts of Oregon, Nevada, California and Washington and the company plans to complete the upgrade across its 29-state footprint by the end of 2014.

Council to continue deliberations on VRD’s JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Lincoln City City Council continued deliberations Monday night, June 23, over new proposed regulations to manage vacation rental dwellings ( VRDs). The Council discussed a draft ordinance recommended by Lincoln City City Manager David Hawker that included a VRD District. Councilor Gary Ellingson outlined his frustration with the process. “I don’t know if we can do this in a meaningful way in a short period of time,” he said. “I would like to follow what the Planning Commission recommended about residential zones. I have listened to hours of testimony.

I don’t want you to think I am jumping ship, but we need to wrap this up, make it fair and equable so we can move ahead.” Councilor Wes Ryan said the Council needs to limit the VRD occupancy. “You cannot have a new zone unless you have a limit on occupancy,” he said. “That has to go with it because that makes it more comprehensive.” Ryan also agreed that defining accessory use was important. “The worse thing that we did when we passed this ordinance was that we didn’t define it,” he said. “We need to get the definitions so that the public knows what we are talking about.” Council Chester Noreikis supported Hawkers draft ordinance. “I like this ordinance because

it is simple and straight forward,” he said. “My preference would be to proceed with this ordinance.” But before the Council members act on Hawker’s recommendation, they have asked the City staff for clarification. “We have directed staff to bring back documentation that will help us clarify the existing ordinance for VRDs as it relates to accessory use,” Mayor Dick Anderson said. “We want to get that established and agreed upon by Council first and foremost.” Anderson said the deliberations are still a work in progress. The Council is expected to continue the VRD deliberations in July. During the public commenting period resident Jim Hoover

voiced his concern about the Council’s process with the VRDs. “I am disturbed that the process can be changed so much without public comment,” he said. “The public hearings should be reopened if you are going to change these ordinances.” Lincoln City businessman Don Williams agreed. “It is not right to not allow the public to comment on what’s going on,” he said. “Let’s change this and make it a fair hearing. It is too big and too much of a change.” Read the complete draft VRD ordinance recommended by City Manager Hawker with this story and join the conversation at thenewsguard.com.

KNOW YOUR LAKE

“Know Your Lake” is a periodic article from the Devils Lake Water Improvement District about our plans and decisions for the betterment of Devils Lake.

THIS SUMMER’S LAKE LEVEL The DLWID Board voted at its June 12, 2014 public meeting to raise the lake level to the allowed maximum of 9.53 feet above sea level for a week as required to maintain all of our water right options. After this week, we will maintain this summer’s level at 9.0 feet. Last week’s article explained how the 9.0 summer level closely mimics “natural hydrology”. The benefits of raising the summer level to 9.0 rather than to 9.53 feet are: • Less contact between lake water and dysfunctional septic drain fields surrounding the lake shore.

• Water flows faster through the lake, increasing flushing (desirable for reducing harmful algae blooms).

• More natural shoreline plant growth and more wetlands, both of which improve the natural filtering of nutrients in storm water runoff. This reduces weed growth and harmful algae blooms.

• Less flooding of facilities at the Devils Lake State Park Campground.

• Less wave energy and less erosion at the shoreline.

• Calmer water, benefitting all recreational users, including fishermen, kayakers, paddle boarders, water skiers, wake boarders, etc.

All public boat ramps and the overwhelming majority of all docks were installed before the dam was constructed in 1997. Nevertheless, if some lake front owners have to extend their docks, or step down further into their boats, or adjust their boat lifts, the DLWID regrets this inconvenience. However, we are committed to making decisions based on what is best for all of the citizens of the DLWID. We firmly believe that what is most beneficial for the lake in the long-term is also best for our local economy, property values and all lake users. Next week’s article will be entitled “Does Lake Level Affect Harmful Algae Blooms? The Answer Is ‘No’” Look for all “Know Your Lake” articles at our website, www.DLWID.org (Where you can also find much more information about the Devils Lake Water Improvement District).

On faith: Pursue peace HEARING THE HEARTBEAT By Rev. Kelli Westmark

One of the teens in my church said he overheard a couple fighting as he was out walking. I asked him what they were fighting about, and apparently it was over spilled milk. The age old saying, there is no use crying over spilled milk made me think, there is no use fighting over spilled milk either. Just clean it up. There are some things in this world that are just not worth fighting over. The words of my professor of psychology rang in my head, “Pick your battles wisely.” Some things are worth fighting for, other things really don’t matter. Jesus had something to say about conflict in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the

peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Being a peacemaker is an active role and involves hard work of reconciliation. Oftentimes it takes active listening to seek understanding of where the other person is coming from and why this matters so much to them. Being a peacemaker may mean you agree to disagree. In the New Testament, the Pharisees and Sadducees were constantly trying to stir up conflict and attempted to shame Jesus in front of dozens of people. They were out to corner him and eventually kill him. Through His brilliant thinking, time after time Jesus told a parable or a story that related to their accusations and the opposing team left scratching their

heads wondering how this human being could so easily end the argument. Seven-hundred years before Jesus was born, the prophet Isaiah predicted what the Messiah would be like, “And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace” (Isaiah 9:6b). Jesus set an incredible example in being a peacemaker. So much of our conflict exists because of selfishness, wanting our own way, not putting the other’s needs and thoughts ahead of our own. It is so humbling to go to the person to ask forgiveness, seek understanding, and pursue peace. Psalm 34:14 says, “Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.” Is there someone today that you need to reconcile with? Seeking peace does not mean being a doormat

This week

and in the case of abuse, it may mean the best resolution is making a boundary and not going back to the abuser. But in the everyday things, like spilled milk, be a peacemaker. Ephesians 4:26b says, “Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry.” Take some action, make a phone call or meet for coffee. Seek reconciliation and if you can’t seem to together, enlist the help of a pastor or counselor. Don’t delay, pursue peace today. You never know who might be walking by listening.

POLL RESULTS Last week

Voices of Lincoln County Dear Mayor Anderson and City Council I am writing as it has come to my attention that Charter Communications will soon be requiring all cable TV customers in Lincoln City to have a Set Top Box in order to continue to receive TV broadcasts (as opposed to simply connecting the coax cable directly to their TV). There are several reasons why I believe this is a bad idea: 1. It is not required. Several Charter representatives I have spoken with have

claimed the boxes are mandated by the government, due to the analog to digital conversion. But this is most certainly untrue, as my TV is a new model, and already receives stations that Charter transmits via a digital signal. I can tell the stations are digital, as the same station appears twice, once via an analog signal, and at another place on the dial, via a digital signal. The only reason a box is required, is so Charter can encrypt the signal, to counter theft. So we all suffer so Charter can maximize their profits. 2. It is a huge waste of energy. According to the article “Energy wasters at work all night”, in the June

17, 2014 issue of the Los Angeles Times (http://goo. gl/lfOoHJ ), each Set Top Box could add about $8.00 a month to a customer’s electricity bill. And there are currently 224 million boxes, which are the biggest energy users in the home, after air conditioners, and consume as much electricity as that produced by four giant nuclear reactors. 3. It is up to a 75 percent increase. Basic service is $26.99 a month. With each box costing $6.99 to $11.99 a month, plus up to $8 a month for electricity, that’s an extra $20 a month, or a 75% increase. 4. It is an undue burden on

seniors, the disabled, and others on fixed incomes, of which there are many in Lincoln City. 5. It reduces customer choice. Charter will not sell its customers a box, but forces them to rent it. Why not give the customer a choice whether they want to waste money and energy, solely to increase Charter’s bottom line. For these reasons, I humbly ask that you do all that is in your power to stop, or delay, this wasteful, costly, and completely unnecessary change. Sincerely, Ross Smith Lincoln City

At any given time, but especially during the vacation camping season, it is important for the many dog owners and dog visitors Sheriff to know Dennis Dotson even the friendliest of our furry friends might need a moment to get to know their neighbor. Although many factors must always be taken into account in reading and predicting dog behavior, the elements of surprise and unfamiliarity often prompt unexpected and unwanted incidents. Wherever our dogs accompany us, they experience a sense of security being with us and they display their loyalty and protection, particularly

within what they perceive to be “their” space. That space might be in your vehicle, walking along beside you, or within the campsite space you have cozily set-up as your home away from home. Remember, a dog doesn’t recognize “home” only as the house its owner resides in, but rather whatever “space” it currently occupies. And the more familiar things there are within that space, the more protective a dog may become about its space. So the meeting allows the formation of a memory which may cause just enough hesitation

to prevent the dog from instinctively reacting with protective aggression. Take the time to meet a dog before you approach it and always ask permission of the owner to touch the dog before doing so. The outcome will likely be much more pleasant.

School safety, a continuing lesson

The offering of online credits, tutoring systems and alternative educational environments are among the options the Lincoln County School District might pursue in response to the elimination of summer school for needy students, incoming superintendent Steve Boynton said. “Being the new guy in town, I am not going to have all the answers you are looking for,” said Boynton, who will officially replace Tom Rinearson after 10 years as superintendent on July 1. “I do know that a decision to not offer a District-provided summer school option was made well over a month ago, so students could make alternative plans if need be through other opportunities that could include online course offerings.” Students requiring summer school were provided with various options from the school’s counseling staff for this year, Taft High 7-12 Principal Majalise Tolan said, but financial limitations restricted its complete conclusion this year. “As we begin planning for next year and beyond, we are looking at a variety of different options and structures of how to deliver a highquality, meaningful education to all students in all of Lincoln County,” she said.

Mental health student connection

The Lincoln County School District and Lincoln County Health and Human Services Department have partnered to problem solve gaps in mental health services for students to help them before they turn to violence. The partnership is an effort to help stop shootings and other violent acts committed by students. The issue of student violence came to light following the June 10 high school shooting in Troutdale that left one student dead. Police said the shooter, a former student, committed suicide at the scene of the shooting. Lincoln County School District Special Education Administrator Susan Van Liew said the District is committed to building systems that help make schools a safe and welcoming place for kids to come. “We currently have policy regarding bullying and are working on continuing to build systems in our schools to provide character education, bullying prevention and to build connections between kids and the adults in schools,” she said. “Research has shown that kids who feel connected to and valued by adults demonstrate more engagement in school and in life. Connection plays a key role in how students feel about and treat others.” The District has systems in place for providing services to and making connections for parents to outside agencies that can support both the parent and the student. “The County’s school based health centers,

“Children may be misdiagnosed by medical providers or other mental health providers; a child can also end up with a disciplinary situation (suspension, expelled, repeated failures, multiple absences, bullying) instead of being identified as struggling with a mental health concern. According to Turrill, insomnia, lack of energy, poor nutrition/eating problems, poor selfesteem, self-injury and difficulty making decisions can be symptoms indicating depression and/or other disorders, that would require specialized assessment and evaluation in order to rule in/out mental health diagnosis. She said learning disorders can be masked by the symptoms as well. Turrill said social media now plays a significant role in almost everyone’s daily life. “There’s a generational disconnect concerning the value of social media which tends to create misunderstanding and to a certain extent blame,” she said. “There are risks with having children participating in social media, and there is a corresponding responsibility that adults as parents/caretakers/role models have to reduce those risks.” Since mental health in children is linked to the support and care they receive, Turrill said the risk of being negatively impacted by social media will increase as caring and monitoring decreases. “This includes adolescents who, while they may present as being able to be completely selfsufficient, still need to have a trusted adult who can provide structure and a safe place to talk about any concerns,” Turrill said.

“

which are located on our high school campuses, help provide mental health and physical health services to students,” she said. “The partnerships among county agencies continue to help fill gaps and provide needed services to kids. Although, it always feels as if there is need for more.” Does Lincoln County have adequate funding to provide the needed mental health services and counselors to deal not only with the adult population, but also with children? Lincoln County Health and Human Services Behavioral Health Division Director Barbara Turrill said that’s not an easy question to answer. “If adequate funding means that whenever a child appears to need or want to talk to a counselor, they have same day access to a mental health counselor, then no, it’s clear that, throughout Lincoln County in general, there are not adequate financial or human resources to provide this level of service,” she said. The Lincoln County Mental Health Program mental health therapists are embedded in all four

high schools, 16 hours a week. In addition, an addictions counselor is available at least one day a week in Newport, Taft, and Toledo high schools, with the ability to include Waldport High School. The counselors address mental health and addictions issues that are referred to them by the health advocates and registered nurses at the school-based health centers, teachers, and school administration staff. Turrill said funding adequate mental health services for youth is critical. “How we do that is one that local and regional agencies struggle with constantly,” she said. “Some recent efforts to secure additional funding have come through the CCO for this region (Intercommunity Health Network, or IHN) and from grant funding, both private and from the state. Turrill said parents need to keep an eye open for the signals that a child is having mental challenges and might need help. “Depression can present as anger and irritability, acting out behaviors, and anxiety,” she said.

Oregon, Washington score high in ocean water quality THE NEWS GUARD

Seeking to keep Pacific Northwest ocean users healthy as they head to the shore this summer, environmental group Heal the Bay will be issuing water quality grades for over 200 beach monitoring locations in Oregon and Washington throughout the beach-going season. Ocean users in the Northwest generally enjoy very good water quality, according to Heal the Bay’s online Beach Report Card, which grades shorelines along the entire western coast of the United States each week based on levels of bacterial pollution. However, troubling pockets of pollution still dot the coastline throughout the year. Beachgoers can check updated weekly grades each Friday at beachre-

portcard.org. Heal the Bay provides this searchable online database as a free public service. Oceangoing families can find out which beaches are safe and unsafe, check recent water quality history and look up details on beach closures. In Oregon, 22 monitoring locations are earning A grades during dry weather sampling in the latest weekly report. Heal the Bay will provide up-todate information about beach closure and water quality for every monitoring location in the Oregon and Washington throughout the summer monitoring season. Water quality dips dramatically in wet weather, as demonstrated in Oregon last summer when only 73 percent of monitoring locations scored A or B grades during wet

weather. Washington notched 78 percent A or B grades in wet weather. Both states exhibited poorer water quality last summer during wet weather than their threeyear averages. Read the full annual report on Oregon and Washington beach water quality at: http://www.healthebay. org/sites/default/files/pdf/ BRC_2014_WEB_.pdf.

The environmental group Heal the Bay is monitoring ocean quality and issuing water quality grades along the shores of Oregon and Washington.

County jobless rate is nearly unchanged at 7.6% for May THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln County’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 7.6 percent in May, essentially unchanged from the previous month of 7.5 percent, but down the 8.4 percent the year before, according to the Oregon Employment Department.

The unemployment rate for Lincoln County was slightly more than the statewide rate of 6.9 percent and the national rate of 6.3 percent. Lincoln County’s unemployment rate ranked as the 20th lowest of Oregon’s 36 counties in May. The rate was stuck above 10 percent for nearly

all of 2009, 2010 and 2011. It declined slowly, but has seen little change for the past few months. Seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment fell by 50 jobs in May to 17,440. Seasonally adjusted figures compare expected changes with actual changes. A gain of

240 jobs is normal for the month, but the number of jobs in the county increased by only 190. The private sector added 140 jobs in May and government employment grew by 50. Leisure and hospitality added 100 jobs and trade, transportation and utilities chipped in 40 jobs.

May’s total nonfarm payroll employment was 20 more than one year before. Total private sector employment was up by 30 over the year and government employment dipped by 10. Industries adding the most jobs over the past year included construction (+70), leisure and hospital-

ity (+60), and professional and business services (+40). Industries cutting the most jobs included trade, transportation and utilities (-50) and other services (-50). Unemployment rates for other counties can be found at http://www.qualityinfo. org/olmisj/AllRates.

On Video: Depoe Bay hopes to capture new audience Transit The Depoe Bay City Council is moving ahead with plans to distribute a $3,700 three-minute video of the City that is designed to help promote the City and local businesses. Depoe Bay City Recorder Pery Murray said the video gives a good view of the City’s attractions. “It shows whales, because we are the whale watching capital of the world, and it shows boats coming and going in and out of the channel,” she said. “It also shows a panoramic view of the harbor.” The video also captures pictures of the ocean, people fishing, the seawall, downtown Depoe Bay, people shopping and the City’s nature trails. “We tried to capture

the essence of Depoe Bay,” she said. Murray said the City Council still has to decide how the promotional video will be distributed. “We hope local businesses will send it out with their materials and that the Depoe Bay Chamber of Commerce will also use it to promote the City,” said City Councilor Barbara Leff. Howard Shippey, with DV Design of Warrenton, produced the promotional video. Also at the June 17 City meeting, the Council directed staff to develop requests for proposals to get an idled fish plant up and running again. “The goal is to have the maintenance issues that the City is responsible for done and the plant rented by September,” Leff said.

Effective June 28, the Lincoln County Transit office will no longer be open on Saturdays or holidays for dispatching or scheduling. The new office hours will be 6:45 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday only. Transit officials said the new hours will have no effect on the bus route schedules.

Robbery suspect caught after public assist THE NEWS GUARD

On June 19, the Newport Police Department requested the public’s assistance in identifying a robbery suspect from the Staples Store at 721 N. Coast Highway A check of the area revealed video of the suspect running from the scene. Police sent photos of the suspect in the video to area media in hopes of tracking down the suspect. Within an hour of the request, an anonymous

citizen contacted the Newport Police and provided information that helped investigators positively identify the robbery suspect as Michael Donovin James Heslen, 20, of no known address. On June 17, 2014, at approximately 2:55 p.m., Newport Police officers were called to the Staples Store. A witness reported a robbery suspect had fled the area, and was last seen running south on Highway 101.

Police said the suspect had attempted to steal an electronic device from the display shelf. When he did, an alarm activated. Clutching the electronic device, the suspect ran toward the store exit where he was tackled by a witness. The suspect confronted the witness, displaying a sharp cutting device. The suspect then fled the scene. The suspect was described as a white male, 5’7” to 5’10” tall, 145-150 pounds, 18 to 20 years of

age, with olive skin, dark hair, and a thin build. He was wearing a green Oregon Ducks pull-over hoodie, red shorts, black socks, and black shoes.

With only a 30 percent pet licensing compliance in Lincoln County, the Lincoln County Animal Shelter is launching a new public awareness campaign, called Put Your Love on Display, to increase the licensing rate. Shelter Director Laura Ireland said there is a mix of reasons why people are not licensing their dogs. “Some people don’t know that it is required by law or that it is even available,” she said. “There are many people who believe that when they get their animals rabies shots that that is a license, when in fact they are two separate things.” Ireland said pet owners might also be unaware of the benefits that come with the licensing. “The most important benefit is helping us reunite a lost pet with their owner,” she said. Other benefits include: • License fees support shelter programs and operations which provides approximately 1,000 animals with food, veterinary care, safe shelter, training, behavior enrichment, foster and adoption services each year. In addition, approximately 1,000 pounds of pet food is distributed each month through the pet food bank and Meals on Wheels to help people keep pets in their

Youth surf contest rocks! THE NEWS GUARD

The Surfrider Foundation’s Newport, Siuslaw and Portland chapters, hosted 63 competitors and over 200 spectators for the 6th annual Otter Rock n’ Roll Youth Surf Contest and Beach Cleanup Challenge Saturday, June 21, in celebration of International Surfing Day. The event drew competitors from all over Oregon and the Pacific Coast. Observed globally, International Surfing Day celebrates the sport of surfing and helps raise awareness about issues facing our oceans, waves, and beaches. The 18-and-under surf contest and beach cleanup challenge was held at Otter Rock Devil’s Punchbowl State Park, running 22 fifteen-minute heats in divisions from “Best Beginner,” which comes with surfing lessons and all the gear for surfing provided by non-profit Warm Current, to the hot shot 16-18 year-olds. Organizers said the weather provided plenty of sunshine and the sheltered conditions of Otter Rock kept the competition out of the wind with small, but fair swell. They said conditions were favorable for the youngest, with small enough waves to keep them stoked, but not intimidated. While the older kids could have hoped for some larger, steeper waves, they made the most of every opportunity in the water. The Parent with Child division was the most popular with 18 parent/child

teams competing in six heats throughout the day. The beach cleanup challenge, a way designed for the non-surfer and surfers alike to participate, awarded prizes for the biggest, the tiniest, and the longest travelled pieces of debris, among other creative and fun categories. The challenge teaches stewardship and awareness of marine debris while rewarding and reinforcing cleanup behaviors. “We want the kids to have a good time surfing, and in a fun way also understand that it’s up to us to protect what we all love – our oceans, waves and beaches,” contest organizer Matt Hawkyard said. The Newport Chapter officials said they are grateful to the local sponsors. Contest Results: (1st, 2nd, 3rd respectively) • Child w/ parent: Brody Winger, Taylor Tice, Avery Snavely • 12/under Girls: Sarina Lacey, Isabelle Serrato, Joey • 12/under Boys: Nikolai Krutzikowsky, Seth Johnson, Kainoa Trumbull • 13-15 Girls: Savannah Russo, Emily Thome, Maria Barten • 13-15 Boys: Jonee Wright, Jesse Henton, Ronan Krutzikowsky • 16-18 Girls: Mckenna Thome, Autumn Bell, • 16-18 Boys: Theo Hollen, Jed Werner, Logan Weeks • Best Beginner: Leah Delanger, Tessa Osburn, Abigail George

Out of the Ark

Service dogs have changed over the years I’m old enough to remember when the signs on the front door of businesses regarding service dogs said “Seeing Eye Dogs Only.” Service dogs no longer necessarily stand mid-thigh high and come with a handle attached to their service dog vest. They are Mary Tynan with her service dog, “Mr. Bee” not always German Shepherds or Golden Retrievers. Signs have changed and so have service dogs. Pets are welcome at my church and you’ll frequently see them there attending non-worship service functions. Several service dogs keep attentive vigil from beneath the pews while their humans participate in the various worship services throughout the year. In our congregation we have a seeing-eye dog; a dog that provides stability; a service dog in training and “Mr. Bee.” It was at our Christmas Eve Candlelight service that I saw “Mr. Bee” for the first time. If it were not for “Mr. Bee’s” service dog vest I would have never guessed him to be one. He is long and low to the ground, like a Dachshund, but bigger. I contacted his human, Mary Tynan, to find out his story. “Mr. Bee” is, in fact, part Dachshund and part Rottweiler. From the white patch on his chest, I am guessing, perhaps, part something else as well, but certainly the doxie is predominant. His tail has been cropped to give it a Rottweiler look. As interesting as “Mr. Bee’s” genetics are his story is more so. “Mr. Bee” is eight years old. He came to live with Mary nine months ago when his previous owner, Gary, died of cancer. “Mr. Bee” was Gary’s service/therapy dog for seven years. Gary had a problem with anger and aggression, which often got him in trouble for out of control behavior and violent outbursts of temper. “Mr. Bee” was trained to watch for signs of Gary’s anger and to gently put his mouth over Gary’s hand. This would signal Gary that he was losing control of his emotions. It was the prompt Gary needed to move away from the situation to find a calmer more rational way of dealing with the circumstances. When Gary’s cancer advanced to the place where he needed hospice, he and “Mr. Bee” lived together in an adult foster care home. Mary, a hospice caregiver, met them there. When Gary passed away, the foster care provider would have taken “Mr. Bee” to an animal shelter if Mary had not recognized his worth as a companion and offered to take him in. Shortly after moving in with Mary, “Mr. Bee” became more than just a companion to her. When she blacked out he went running to find someone to come to her aid. Mary’s blood pressure had dropped so low she was unable to stand. Now “Mr. Bee” recognizes the signs of Mary’s low blood pressure. When he jumps onto her lap, she knows her blood pressure has dropped and she needs to remain seated. He is intuitive and can sense the conditions that put Mary’s safety at risk. As Mary became more aware of “Mr. Bee’s” uncanny abilities she became more dependent on him, more unwilling to be without him at her side. She took him to Tacoma to have him officially certified in a two week service dog testing process. He passed with no additional training for Mary’s specific needs. Mary, too, has been diagnosed with cancer. It has spread to multiple organs in her body. “Mary,” I said, “You know, I have to ask. Have you made arrangements for ‘Mr. Bee’?” “I have.” Mary and “Mr. Bee” share their home with lovely flowers and shade trees in a quiet part of Cornelius, with a cat named “Mommy” and a roommate named Mike. “Mike will stay here in my home. He loves ‘Mr. Bee’.” Heaven on earth for “Mr. Bee.” Karen R. Hessen is a retired Mail Carrier who lives in Seaside and Forest Grove. She may be reached at karenwrites@frontier.com.

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

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

SAFETY

Parade organizers said safety is always a concern and people on the floats in the parade will not be allowed to throw candy to children along the sidelines. “This is too dangerous,” said Cremeen. “We will distribute plastic bags so that kids can pick up candy more safely. Because of the danger, parents need to pay attention to what their kids are doing. They cannot stand beyond the white line or run into the street.”
