Assistant Principal Kelly Hart has been named athletic director at Taft High 7-12, replacing Tim Dressler, who has resigned and is expected to accept a similar position in the Tacoma, Wash., area.

“Tim has done amazing work in revitalizing our athletic department on a participatory and organizational level,” Taft Principal Majalise Tolan said.

“Taft is very appreciative of the time, effort and dedication he has given to our program, coaches and student-athletes.”

Dressler’s wife, Rebecca, also will be leaving

“Rebecca and I have lived away from family for

Lincoln City Police have made an arrest in a driveby shooting that took place May 24 in the 2200 block of West Devils Lake Road.

On the evening of May 29, detectives from Lincoln City Police and the Oregon State Police arrested Felix Daniel Garcia Mendoza, 21, at a residence in the N.W. 3400 block of Oar Avenue for assault in connection with the shooting.

Garcia was taken into custody without incident and lodged in the Lincoln County Jail.

Lincoln City Police Detective Bud Lane said the victim, Jeramie Philpot, 27, of Lincoln City, suffered a gunshot wound to his leg.

Due to the ongoing investigation, detectives are not

“We have not ruled out drugs, an argument, or anything else at this point,” Lane said.

According to investigators, Phipot had been walking along West Devils

said Dressler, 26, who spent one year as Taft athletic director. “Working as the AD at Taft High School has been one of the most challenging, but rewarding jobs that I have ever had. I will miss the sports atmosphere and the sports culture that is growing at Taft.”

Hart’s hiring marks the fifth athletic director Taft has had in the past six years, following Mychal Williams, Paul Tucker, Kris Wilkinson and Dressler.

“Kelly has experience as a high school coach and athletic director while at Mollala,” Tolan said. “Her passion for athletics and the development of the whole student-athlete will allow us to continue the

progress the department and coaches have been making.”

Dressler said he and his wife have pursued employment in Washington but cannot disclose details at this time.

“It was definitely one of the hardest decisions to decide to leave Lincoln City,” he said. “Rebecca and I are invested in this community and will miss everything about it, especially the people.”

“The school athletics program has greatly benefitted from Tim,” Hart said. “He was able to lay a solid foundation to the ideals of building character and focusing on building a well-rounded student athlete.”

A Newport man and a child died in a plane crash Saturday afternoon, May 31, at Toledo.

Authorities said the pilot of the smallengine aircraft, Douglas Nebert, 51, of Newport, and Nebert’s granddaughter, Zoey Wahl, 4, of Seattle, died at the scene.

Witnesses said the plane attempted a turn and went straight down crashing into the parking lot of the Georgia Pacific paper mill in Toledo.

Toledo Police said the plane crashed at 4:20 p.m. after taking off from Newport Airport.

Nebert was reported to be the owner of a bed and breakfast in Agate Beach.

The National Transportation Safety Board, Toledo Police and the Federal Aviation Administration began an investigation into the crash May 31.

Lincoln City’s VRD debate goes national JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The debate over new regulations for Lincoln City’s vacation rental dwellings (VRDs) has caught the attention of conservative Portland radio talk show host Lars Larson.

Larson took calls from those concerned about the regulations earlier this month and plans to do a live statewide and national broadcast June 6 from Lincoln City.

Larson said the issue is about the erosion of property rights.

“Lincoln City is proposing to take away people’s property rights,” he said. “The regulations would effectively outlaw the VRDs. The regulations would lock out families owning homes who based their purchase on the ability to rent their home as a vacation dwelling. It also hurts people who want to come to Lincoln City to rent because of increased fees and costs imposed by the new regulations.”

He said the regulations could force people to sell their homes and home values would decrease.

Larson’s statewide show

on Lincoln City’s KBCH (1400 AM) and in Newport on KNPT (1310 AM). His national broadcast airs from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The Lincoln City 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 Consensus Committee.

Lincoln City Planning and Community Development Director Richard Townsend said the Council has not opened formal discussions concerning limits on how many days

Gov. John Kitzhaber met with members of North Coast collaborative organizations and civic and business leaders from Clatsop, Columbia and Tillamook counties June 2, in Tillamook.

The meeting was an effort to discuss ways to leverage state resources to help achieve local objectives and priorities and find solutions for achieving regional economic goals.

State Rep. David Gomberg also attended the meeting.

Gomberg represents District 10, which stretches from Yachats to Tillamook and from the Pacific Ocean inland to Sheridan and Falls City.

Gomberg told the Governor and the group he was concerned about a lack of state back-up plans for when the Internet is disrupted. He said in the last 35 days, the internet has shut down on the central Oregon Coast at least three times.

“We have lost Internet service for an average of seven hours each time,” he said. “This is not about Facebook and You Tube. Without Internet cash registers stop working, you can’t take hotel reservations and you can’t even ship packages at the post office.”

Gomberg said the Internet outages were caused by disruption in the Portland area.

“Someone stuck a shovel in the ground, cut a fiber optic cable, and the Coast economy grinds to a halt,” he said.

Gomberg suggested that the Governor and state add to the list of priorities redundancy systems for utilities to prevent such economic disasters.

Gomberg also outlined the need to remove business barriers.

“The most vibrant and growing parts of our economy you don’t often see are people who are using their experience, their creativity and their economic courage to make something out of nothing,” he said. “These are very often in-home-based businesses. Nike started in a garage. Intel started in a kitchen. We need to remove barriers to these startup micro businesses.”

Visitor numbers surge over holiday JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The summer tourist season in Lincoln City looks promising, according to Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Nonni Augustine.

Cars and trucks lined Highway 101 during the Memorial Day weekend, signaling a robust season ahead, “We had a huge day at the Chamber offices Friday with people coming and going,” she said. “We were really slammed. It was a good start to the summer season.”

Augustine said factors like sunny warm weather, and the City’s Finders Keepers glass float promotion added to the visitor draw.

“Many of the visitors we saw were very interested in the floats and wanted to know where they would be and when they would be out so they could get an edge in finding them.”

Augustine said other

“W

e were really slammed. It was a good start to the summer season.

“

Nonni Augustine, Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce visitors were looking for a place to spend the night because many of the motels were booked for the weekend.

“We saw many couples, middle-aged to retirees who were looking for things to do,” she said. “And of course, the beaches were fully packed with families enjoying Lincoln City.”

Traffic along Highway 101 into and out of Lincoln City was heavy during the Memorial Day weekend.

CCB sweeps Oregon Coast for unlicensed contractors JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

The Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) is investigating 30 potential violations of law, including at least one in Lincoln City, after investigators showed up at more than 200 coastal job sites looking for unlicensed contractors in late May. The findings: • About half the 30 cases allege that people were working without a contractor’s license.

• Another three cases allege contractors were working on homes built before 1978 without the proper license for handling lead-based paint.

• Other charges range from lacking workers’ compensation insurance to hiring an unlicensed subcontractor.

As many as seven field investigators randomly visited job sites in different sections of the coast ranging from Bandon north to Astoria. Salem staff will now decide whether to issue warnings or fines based on the facts of the case and whether it is a first-time

violation.

A typical first-offense penalty for working without a license is $1,000 with subsequent violations resulting in fines of up to $5,000. Working without a license is also a misdemeanor crime.

“Illegal activity hurts consumers and it hurts legitimate contractors by giving a competitive edge to outlaws,” CCB interim administrator Berri Leslie said. “We will continue our efforts to find and penalize those who are working illegally.”

Anyone who repairs or remodels, as well as those who build new homes

or businesses, must be licensed with the CCB. Contractors working on homes built before 1978 need special licensing and training to handle leadbased paint.

Oregon Contractors Board Field Investigator Tim Lenihan said they drive through neighborhoods looking for anyone doing any type of construction work.

“When we see someone on the job we ask to see their licenses and permits,” he said. “If they are not in compliance we will write up a report and they could face fines.”

Lenihan said the work is

based on consumer protection.

“Having a licensed contractor reduces the property owners liability,” he said “But we are also an advocate for contractors and we advocate law and legislation regarding construction activity for the well being of everyone.”

Lenihan said the violations are tied to the economy, when the economy is good there are fewer violations, he said.

“The number one issue we find with licensed contractors is often they will have unreported employees,” he said. “It’s people trying to shortcut the system and not show that they are paying under the table.”

Licensed contractors have a bond and insurance that offers some financial protections to the public.

Also, homeowners may be able to get help from the CCB to resolve construction-related disputes if they use properly licensed contractors.

Contractors and consumers can report unlicensed contractors and other illegal activity or

as it the recent trip to see my daughter Meghan graduate from the University of Wyoming, or this week’s commencement exercise that will take place at Taft High School? Whatever the reason, I love to reflect during this time of year. This rite of passage announcing accomplishment and transition to something new, optimism abounds surrounded by the ones you love.

As you read today’s edition, I hope you reflect positively toward all the graduating students spotlighted from Career Tech Charter High School, Lincoln City Adventist School

and Taft High 7-12. There is nothing like a community that encourages students to do more than what is expected and then supports them to make a difference in the world.

We can all be proud and applaud this class of 2014 that accomplished so much in academics, extracurricular activities, workplace simulation and athletics. These students adapted to new situations, gave unselfishly, remained focused on graduating and thus will be confident and fearless to conquer life challenges.

In addition to the excitement of graduation, take a look at page one, and you’ll read about an improving exciting outlook as new businesses invest into our city.

I tell local people all the time with our beautiful geographic location attracting visitors

from throughout the world, our continued economic growth will be further dependent on attracting diversity in business and entrepreneurship. Thus, as we dive into summer, take pride in welcoming new businesses and supporting all of our local merchants. We all play an important part in marketing an optimistic, welcoming community to tourists, friends and family. From new start-up businesses to fourth generation successes such as Kenny’s IGA, all businesses are critical to the daily vitality and stability of our local economy.

With a concerted individual and community effort, let’s embrace this optimistic time of graduations and business growth with the strategic vision of doing more than what’s expected and by providing the best schools and business environment for our residents, visitors and 2014 graduates.

Sheriff’s Tips Animals in disaster

By Sheriff Dennis Dotson

Disasters can strike anytime, anywhere. We don’t always want to think about a disaster hitting our home or work place, but preparing can provide peace of mind.

Pets are an important part of our family and we should include them in our disaster preparedness.

Here in Lincoln County, we need to prepare for days without power and road blockages from storms. We also need to prepare for earthquakes, tsunamis, and manmade disasters. Oregon Emergency Management advises that residents in rural areas be prepared to be on their own for longer than one week.

What you can do to prepare today: ID your pet. Your pet should wear up-to-date identification and license at all times. Consider hav-

ing your pet microchipped — collars can fall off, but microchips are a permanent way to reunite you with your pet.

Find a safe place ahead of time. Don’t assume an evacuation shelter will accept pets.

Local and state health and safety regulations do not permit the Red Cross to Sheriff Dennis Dotson allow pets in disaster shelters.

Find a safe place for your pets to stay during a disaster before it happens, such as hotels or friends and family outside of your area. Exchange keys with a trusted friend or neighbor who may be able to care for your pet if you are not home when disaster strikes.

Assemble a kit with emergency supplies. You can put together your own kit, or purchase prepackaged kits from many sources online.

After a disaster: Your home may be a very different place after the emergency is over, and it may be hard for your pets to adjust.

Don’t allow your pets to roam loose. Familiar landmarks and smells might be gone, and your pet will probably be disoriented.

Pets can easily get lost in such situations.

While you assess the damage, keep dogs on

leashes and cats in carriers inside the house. If your house is damaged, your pets could escape.

Be patient with your pets after a disaster. Try to get them back into their normal routines as soon as possible. Be ready for behavioral problems caused by the stress of the situation. If these problems persist, or if your pet seems to be having any health problems, talk to

your veterinarian.

If your community has been flooded, search your home and yard for wild animals that may have sought refuge there.

Stressed wildlife can pose a threat to you and your pet.

are grateful and glad that these changes are coming, and that they can’t come too soon. My personal experiences with our hospital and the staff, have been exemplary. I have been treated in a kind, caring and professional manner always. I realize that living in a small town creates the necessity of having to go inland (the valley) for access to certain medical staff and services. I am grateful too, that specialists and physicians come from the valley, to offer their services for those who cannot travel farther and those for whom such travel is a financial hardship. My concern, and I know many of you share it, is that we do not have the equip-

ment that we need here on the coast. Life-saving medical equipment, that our fine doctors are more than capable of using, but do not have. When you are considering how and what changes are to be made to update our hospital, it is my heartfelt prayer that you will remember one thing: We should not have to be transported inland to be able to survive. We should not have to be taken to the valley so that we can live. Let the changes you are about to make, reflect the real need that exists. The need to live, without going inland.

Voices of Lincoln County Make your old car, truck a hero The Oregon Volunteer Firefighter (OVFA) Conference will be hosted in Lincoln County June 18-21 at North Lincoln Fire & Rescue (NLFR). We need your help to make it successful. We are making an appeal for donations of junk automobiles and trucks for the Vehicle Extrication Class, one of the many classes that will be happening that week.

We are seeking 16 to 18 cars for the classes so firefighters from throughout the state can practice and advance their technique for this lifesaving skill. It is sadly a skill far too often required to make

safe and rapid recovery of victims trapped in twisted wrecks following a traffic accident.

The donated vehicles will be removed free of charge by Lincoln City Towing. NLFR will provide a letter of donation to the individual who donated the car.

Call Jamie Mason or Capt. Jim Kusz at 541-9962233 to arrange pick-up of the vehicle.

The conference will also include classes in car fire safety, advanced fire behavior, EMS trauma, truck aerial operations and strategies and tactics.

NLFR, Central Coast Fire & Rescue, Depoe Bay RFPD, Newport Fire Department, Nestucca RFPD, Toledo Fire Department, Siletz

RFPD, Seal Rock RFPD and Yachats Fire will host the conference.

Thank you for your support and continued dedication to our Oregon Volunteer firefighters who to serve your community.

Oregon drivers take top spot in seat belt safety THE NEWS GUARD

Chances are the person in the car next to you is wearing a seat belt. More drivers in Lincoln County and across the state are buckling up, according to a new national report.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released its 2013 analysis of motorists and passengers using safety restraints, and Oregon topped the list with 98.2 percent usage. The results are from probabilitybased observational surveys conducted by 50 states, the District of Columbia and U.S. Territories.

“This is outstanding news for Oregon and Oregonians,” said Oregon Department of Transportation Director Matt Garrett. “Even better is the COURTESY PHOTO fact that we’re seeing the impact of wearing safety belts Oregon leads the nation in seat belt use according to the latest national report.

in the reduced numbers of people being injured or killed in crashes on our roads.”

In 2012, 61 of the 198 passenger motor vehicle occupants killed were not wearing seatbelts. In 2011, that number was 99 of 226 occupants killed. The unbuckled fatality trend is going downward, but safety advocates won’t stop delivering their messages until that number is zero.

“We still have to be vigilant about buckling up,” Garrett said. “Putting your young passenger in the wrong restraints or forgetting to buckle up is just too big of a risk.”

ODOT’s Occupant Protection Program Manager Carla Levinski shared the recordsetting news with safety advocates on Wednesday, and urged them to continue their work.

“We have over 400 child

passenger safety technicians, teaching people in their communities how to properly install and use safety seats,” she said. “Let’s celebrate our success – and then keep up the great work.”

Other partners in making travel as safe as possible include Oregon law enforcement agencies, emergency responders and the engineers who design roads.

“This really is a team accomplishment,” Levinski said. The NHTSA report shows that over the years, observed seat belt use in Oregon has grown from 94.1 percent in 2006 to 2013’s record 98.2 percent.

Through June 1, ninety law enforcement agencies around the state are participating in the nationwide Click It or Ticket campaign.

The next one will be in August.

Construction From page A1

Townsend said the proposed Lincoln Palisades addition and Logan Park project are key to new housing development in Lincoln City.

“We have not seen these kinds of proposals in several years,’ he said.

“It means people behind the projects are confident that there will be demand for housing and time is right to start developing again. They expect people will move here and that will boost the economy.”

Both Logan Park and the Lincoln Palisades are going through City review this month.

Townsend said there are close to 800 lots available for homes in Lincoln City. Although some of those lots may restrict building due to wetlands or steepness.

During 2004 and 2007, Lincoln City experienced a housing boom.

In 2004, 93 homes were

constructed. In 2005, 145.

In 2006, 140 and in 2007 131 houses were built. In 2008, the housing slump began and only 54 homes were constructed in Lincoln City that year.

“That’s when the bottom fell out,” Townsend said. “We saw 28 homes constructed in 2012 and 17 in 2013. So far this year there have been 16 homes built. That is an encouraging rate. We are seeing a positive direction. We are seeing a lot more building activity than we have in the past several years.”

While Townsend could not place a specific dollar amount on the economic impact of the commercial and business construction, he said the benefits include livability and business growth improvements such as neighborhood beautification, job development, and increased consumer spending at restaurants, hotels and shops.

Mussel harvesting closed THE NEWS GUARD

The Oregon Department of Agriculture and the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife have closed all mussel harvesting from the south jetty of the Columbia River to the north jetty in Newport.

The closure is due to elevated levels of paralytic shellfish poisoning or PSP toxins and includes mussels on all beaches, rocks, jetties, and at the entrance to bays along the Oregon Coast.

Coastal scallops are not affected by the closure when only the adductor muscle is eaten.

The consumption of whole, recreationally harvested scallops is not recommended. Crab are not affected by this level of toxin and are safe to eat.

Shellfish contaminated with PSP toxins can cause minor to severe illness or even death.

The symptoms usually begin with tingling of the mouth and tongue. Severe poisoning can result in dizziness, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, paralysis

of the arms and legs, and paralysis of the muscles used for breathing.

Shellfish toxins are produced by algae and usually originate in the ocean.

ODA will continue to test for shellfish toxins weekly, as tides permit. Reopening of an area requires two consecutive tests in the safe range.

For more information, call ODA’s shellfish safety information hotline at (800) 448-2474, the Food Safety Division at (503) 986-4720 or visit the ODA shellfish closures Web page at <http://oregon.gov/ODA/FSD/shellfish_status.shtml>.

Elevated levels of toxins have forced the closure of mussel harvesting along the Oreogn Coast from the Columbia River to Newport.

Forest group pledges cash for Lincoln County THE NEWS GUARD

Lincoln County has received $215,628 for a variety of forest projects.

“Funding through the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act benefits national forests and communities,” Siuslaw National Forest Supervisor Jerry Ingersoll said.

“This money has improved roads and trails, reduced the spread of noxious weeds, removed trash from our watersheds and put local people to work.”

The Siuslaw Resource Advisory Committee recommends national forest projects using funds provided under the Secure Rural Schools and Com-

munity Self-Determination Act of 2000 (Public Law 106-393). The Committee includes representatives of state, county and tribal governments, timber industry, recreation interests, environmental groups and others.

The Committee is tasked to select projects under Title II of the Act for recommen-

dation to Siuslaw National Forest Supervisor for final approval.

By recommending 22 projects, members of the Siuslaw Resource Advisory Committee (RAC) put close to $640,000 towards recreation, restoration and partnerships supporting national forest management in seven rural counties.

May 30, 1944-April 26, 2014 Charles Daniel Mitchell, better known as Uncle Chuck to most, went “forever fishing” when his heart stopped on Saturday, April 26th at the age of 69. He was surrounded by family and friends as he took his last breath. We are all saddened that the world has lost such a wonderful spirit with his passing.

Chuck was born on May 30th, 1944 to Floyd and Lulu Mitchell. He grew up in St. Paul, MN and after graduating from Harding High School he headed straight for the Northwest.

It was here that he made his home and learned the trade as a journeymen plumber. During his 50 year career with the Local 290 he worked in Portland and Seattle as well as on the Alaska Pipe Line.

Chuck spent the past 25 years fishing some of his favorite places: the Northwest Pacific Ocean out of Depoe Bay on the Kadaho,

As people age, they often need extra care. Others may be facing a debilitating illness.

The care required can be far more than friends or family can give. Assisted living centers are popular options for people who need medical attention. In the past, long-term care could only be handled by a nursing home. Living in a hospital setting for an extended time was not a pleasant environment. Assisted living centers help patients continue to live an active lifestyle. They can live in comfortable, cost-effective setting that has many conveniences. However, this center is also a full-time medical facility. If you are searching for an assisted living center for yourself or a loved one, here are some factors to consider.

GARDEN AND LANDSCAPING It’s a little known fact that the landscaping of an assisted living center will give you a good indication about the quality of the facility. Proper maintenance of the lawn and gardens is a good sign. If the prospective resident enjoys spending time in nature, look for a facility that has park-like areas. Some centers have communitystyle gardens and walkways for residents.

RECREATION FACILITIES Game and meeting areas can help the resident make new friends. Leaving the confines of their units is an important part of recovery. Make sure the center offers activities and space to occupy your loved one’s time. Quality facilities will have activities that match his or her hobbies. If your family member enjoys crafts, then look for a center with a designated craft area or classes for your loved one to enjoy.

PERSONAL CARE Ask your loved one’s personal physician how much care is required to function safely. The doctor may even be able to guide you toward an appropriate facility. Be sure seek advise on what qualifications and certifications you need to look for in the center’s staff. The center’s employees should be well-qualified to handle medical needs. If you monitor the medical care, you can avoid paying for extensive services that your loved one may not need. Understand the care the person requires will help you find a center that is a good fit. Choosing an assisted living facility is about finding the right combination of medical services and amenities. With research and thought, you will find the perfect place to bring comfort and care to your loved one.

Students turn ocean fish into artwork JIM FOSSUM Jfossum@countrymedia.net

They didn’t make art out of the octopus Taft High 7-12 senior Charlie Haft landed last month during a deep-sea fishing excursion for rockfish, but 23 Taft High students learned that fishing isn’t necessarily just for food, fun and recreation when they participated last week in the Japanese art of Gyotaku as part of their Oregon Fish and Ocean Issues course.

“The Gyotaku lesson was the perfect bookend to our ‘Fish, Fillet, Feast, Print’ unit of study, which aimed to give students a full circle understanding of how the fish in our backyard ocean get to our dinner plates,” instructor Avery Marvin said. “We fished. We filleted, cooked and feasted on these fish. And just as the Japanese did in the 1800s, we made fish prints to document and memorialize our proud catches.”

Taft High students from ninth to 12th grades, some who took it quite seriously, participated in the venture, that began with netting 78 rockfish, filleting most of them, having a fish taco feast with Chinook Winds Casino Resort Executive Chef Jack Strong, and, finally, making artwork from them at the lead of Bruce Koike, founder of Oregon Coast Community College’s Aquarium Science program.

“For my students, their fish prints hanging on their wall will take on a higher meaning, that is, as a symbolic reminder of this whole unit, which for many has had profound impacts, both personally and career-wise,” Marvin said.

Koike complimented students on their “participation, respect for the fish and their art.” The fish

The fish prints are made by placing paint on the fish and than placing paper over the fish to capture the illustration. prints and writings will be displayed at the “Literary and Academic Showcase” at 6 p.m. June 4 at the Lincoln City Cultural Center.

Koike led a hands-on lesson on the art and technique of Gyotaku. He highlighted a few key points to retain the detail of the fish: 1) Don’t use too much paint; 2) Blot the paint on the fish instead of using brush strokes; 3) Don’t paint the eye. Paint in the eye after the print has dried; 4) Use a gentle two-finger motion when rubbing the rice paper to transfer the paint from the fish to the paper.

After Koike’s demonstration, the students jumped in, experimenting with colors, various application methods and the composition of their print. They worked in pairs, communicating and helping each other out during the process.

“Most students were able to make two prints, which meant they could learn by trial and error,” Marvin said. “This helped ease the pressure of the perfect print on the first try. More importantly it reinforces the notion of progress through

mistakes. When students have the chance to pick it back up and try again they become problem solvers and creative thinkers, which all lead to higher learning.”

“Gyotaku is such an interesting and historic art form that is accessible to all students,” Marvin said.

“Anyone can do it as long as you have patience.”

“I see this as part of the educational process and that’s why I am here,” said Koike, who has fish printed for nearly 20 years. “I love fish. I am fish man.”

The fish printing is called gyo gak, or fish rubbing, he said. It is the Japanese technique of nature printing that started in the early 18th century.

“It had a purpose,” he said. “When the commercial fishermen returned to port, they would make fish prints of their catch and put them on their boat. People could come by the boat and see what kind of fish were available to buy. It was low-tech.”

“Fish, Fillet, Feast, Print highlights cross-content planning and Taft’s commitment to enhancing STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math),”

Taft Principal Majalise Tolan said.

For others, many of whom became seasick on the three-hour excursion, making art was the best part of the course.

“I like art a lot, so this is very interesting,” freshman Sage Maggard said. “Painting on the fins was kind of hard, but the scales were easier.”

“This is pretty good, but

it is a little messy,” senior Chester Parker said. “It’s pretty easy. All you have to do is dab and get the technique down.”

“The best part of the process is when you gently peal the rice paper off the fish and you see your print,” Marvin said. “You never quite know what you are going to get and that is the fun of it. Plus, no two prints are ever exactly alike.”

Dockside Charters in Depoe Bay, Chinook Winds Casino Resort, Oregon Coast Community College and Englund Marine Supply helped make the unit of study a reality for the students, Marvin said.

“I am so grateful to live and work in a community that values ocean literacy and that takes action to promote authentic field-based learning,” she said.

A chance to strut your mutt The annual Mutt Master Dog Show and Olympics is designed to get people and their pets outdoors and to help pet owners bond with their animals.

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

Dogs will take center stage from 1- 3 p.m. June 14 at the annual Mutt Master dog show at the former Taft Elementary School property, 1545 S.E. 50th St., in Lincoln City.

This will be the second year

that the Lincoln County Animal Shelter will host the event.

“It was started a few years ago by the City of Lincoln City as a fundraiser for the animal shelter, but also for another great fun event to draw people in to Lincoln City,” Lincoln County Animal Shelter Manager Laura Ireland said. “They

needed an agency to host the event as the City downsized the number of events it was involved with. It was an event that everyone really liked and so we decided to host it for the first time in 2013.”

Ireland said while many communities have similar types of dog competitions, Mutt Mas-

ters is less serious.

“We look at it as a fun, family event where you can spend time outside with your dog,” she said.

“The dogs don’t have to be super well-trained or have any special skill. It’s just a fun way to celebrate the bond between people

Music essay contest winners announced

I Love Music

N

ot a single human being doesn’t like music. It lifts us up when we’re down.

And can be the very best friend that you’ll ever find around. No matter what it’s always with us, from near to far and from here to there. It’s with us in our time of need, it lightens our mood and brightens our day. It’s hard to say what I love about music. But if I had to choose one thing it would be this.

Every single sound, every single song, and every single artist is different in their own amazing way.

T

he winners of The News Guard’s ‘I Love Music’ essay contest are Adrianna Wagoner and Lorraine Palmer Stinson.

Thank you to all those who entered the contest.

Adrianna and Lorraine will receive tickets to the Siletz Bay Music Festival.

I Love Music

t placates my soul, calms my nerves, regulates my heartbeat. It often transports me to other places, happier times. Memories of my mother, her sweet voice singing, “When whipperwills call me and evening is nigh...,” violin lessons, school dances, special dates, church bells, my 58 year ago wedding, concerts, recitals, baby’s lullabies. Music gives me motivation, makes the most mundane work tolerable, elevates me to a higher consciousness, overshadowing depression and sadness. Conjures relaxation, meaningful sleep, pleasant dreams. Music inspires thankfulness to God for loving me, with the anticipation of eternity. Music: One of God’s greatest gifts to me.

One season ends, another planned for Finders Keepers THE NEWS GUARD

The popular Finders Keepers glass float drop season ended May 26. A new season will be launched in October. The signed, numbered and handcrafted floats are hidden along the public beaches in Lincoln City.

The project began in 1997 as a way to attract visitors to the area. The following is a conversation with the Lincoln City Visitors & Convention Bureau’s Public Relations Director Scott Humpert.

NEWS GUARD: How many of the floats were placed on the beach during this latest event?

PHOTO/ COURTNEY CLAY

The signed, numbered and handcrafted floats are hidden on the beaches in Lincoln City for visitors to discover.

HUMPERT: Two-thousand-andfourteen official numbered floats were created and placed on the beach. All in all, we put out over 3,000 floats this year. As part of the special drops, we also put out over 500 pieces of additional glass art, including crabs, sand dollars and starfish.

NEWS GUARD: How many of the floats have been brought in for authentication?

HUMPERT: We have registered about one-quarter of the floats for this year. Floats can be brought in for registration at the Visitor Center located at 540 N.E. Highway 101, inside the Lincoln City Cultural Center, or they can be registered by phone at 541-996-1274.

NEWS GUARD: What was different this year with the event compared to previous years?

HUMPERT: This year marked the 15th anniversary of Finders Keepers and also the most floats we have dropped in any single season.

Through the popularity of social media, specifically Facebook, treasure hunters were able to easily share their finds with the world.

NEWS GUARD: What can we expect next year?

HUMPERT: You can expect 2,015 official numbered floats on the Lincoln City beach, along with quite a number of special drops, similar to this year. We hope to see even more people share their finds via social media. We’ll have a new poster design available, something that generates interest year after year. The posters have become collectors’ items.

NEWS GUARD: What are the dates of drops next year?

HUMPERT: We will still drop five to 10 floats daily from mid-October through Memorial Day. Expect special drops around holidays and special events.

Fizz! Boom!

Read! At your library this summer Guest Column

By Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney

School’s wrapping up, the sun’s coming out, and things are going BOOM at Driftwood Public Library. This year’s Kid’s Summer Reading program has a science theme, and the library has some great family fun lined up. Summer reading sign-ups for kids and teens began Sunday, June 1. Very young children can earn prizes by reading with their parents; older kids and teens earn prizes by reading on their own or with their families.

The whole family is invited to the library’s Family Night activities this summer. On Wednesdays at 6:30 p.m. throughout June, July, and August, families can enjoy professional and educational entertainers from near and far. These great programs are sponsored by the Friends of Driftwood Public Library and by the Lincoln County Library District, and are free to residents and visitors alike.

Family Night Schedule: June 18 Jugglemania with Rhys Thomas. Thomas will combine his comedic juggling with science facts and awe-inspiring feats.

June 25 The Bird Man comes to town, with live, free-flying parrots and other birds. We’ll be draping the library’s Reading Room with plastic, but you might want to consider wearing a hat.

July 2 Aaron Wheeler Kay promises to get “Everything From Head to Toe” moving.

Aaron is a percussionist, dancer, and musician.

July 9 The Oregon Coast Aquarium visits the library.

Learn more about the ocean right outside your front door.

July 16 Whitman Story Sampler. Jennifer and Nathaniel Whitman are professional storytellers who tell stories together in tandem – not your usual storytelling performance.

July 23 Mad Science! Awesome science experiments and scientific performances.

July 30 The Reptile Man. Herpetophobes, beware! Kids will learn more about snakes, turtles, and lizards, and have an opportunity to handle live creatures.

Aug. 6 Dragon Theater Puppets. A perennial favorite returns to Driftwood Public Library with “You’re Electric!” a fabulous puppet show about electricity featuring Thomas Edison, Nikolai Tesla, and more.

Teens are also welcome to sign up for Thursday Teen Time programs when they sign up for Summer Reading. These programs take place at 3:30 p.m.

Thursdays and are open to kids who have completed sixth grade.

Topics include Henna tattoos, puppetry, juggling, no-cook cookery, rocketry and more.

And if the grownups reading this are starting to feel a little left out, take heart. Driftwood Public Library is offering its fourth annual Adult Summer Reading program, as well. We invite you to “Relax and Read,” earning a raffle ticket for awesome prizes for every book you read. We also have loads of smaller prizes for the grownups, too, because, really, why should the kids get all the fun?

Adult Summer Reading signups start June 16, and the party really kicks off with an appearance from author and robotics engineer Daniel H. Wilson on Sunday, June 29. Wilson is the author of the science fiction thrillers Robopocalypse (recently optioned for a movie by Steven Spielberg) and Robogenesis, as well as the satirical nonfiction books How to Survive a Robot Uprising and Where’s My Jetpack: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future that Never Arrived.

Adult Summer Reading participants can also look forward to another to-be-announced author event at the end of the summer. Past authors have included J. A. Jance and Terry Brooks.

Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney is the director at the Driftwood Public Library in Lincoln City.

STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN ACTIVITIES and SOURCES OF FINANCING Lincoln City is solid both financially and in our ability to deliver services. While the approved budget does not change the level of services in any material way, there are major changes in the budget as a result of some unusual occurrences. (1) 80% of the property tax previously allocated to Urban Renewal will return to the General Fund. (2) The annexation of Roads End is essentially complete and we will receive 85% of our regular tax levy from this area. Additionally, this will be the first full year of transient room taxes from Roads End. (3) The investment in the Villages of Cascade Head reduced the General Fund balance to the lowest level since 2003-­‐04. With the annexation of Roads End and change in Urban Renewal, our healthy and surplus fund balance will be restored in the coming year. Other changes in revenue include a 4% increase in water rates and a 4% increase in sewer rates. We expect building activity, as measured by the dollar value of permits, to continue at a relatively low level. The City is committed to complying with the requirements of the ADA and related laws by making Lincoln City facilities, rights-­‐of-­‐way programs and services, etc. accessible to citizens and visitors with disabilities. The approved budget include $149,000 to be used to implement priority improvements identified in the transition plan drafted in FY2013-­‐14 to remove ADA barriers over time. We have a very aggressive infrastructure replacement program, and except for streets we are not delaying replacements for another generation to address. The approved budget includes almost seven million in capital construction. It also includes over nine million in fund balances, contingency and reserves. That represents over 19% of the total resources, and over 25% of approved expenditures.

FISH ON: Free Fishing Day this Saturday

JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

It’s all about the experience of fishing and getting outdoors.

The annual Oregon Free Fishing Day from 8 a.m. to noon, Saturday June 7, is designed to encourage children and families to take part in a fishing experience.

“We want to get our children in the community involved in fishing and get them to enjoy the outdoors,” Salmon River Hatchery Senior Technician Michelle Vissa said.

“If they don’t have somewhere to go and learn and get really excited about this, I don’t know if they would, so this event is designed to encourage them.”

As an extra incentive, a fishing pond at the hatchery at 575 N. North Bank Road in Otis has been stocked with 1,500 rainbow trout.

“They can catch a limit of five trout and take them home,” she said.

The Lincoln City Community Center has partnered with the hatchery over the past several years for the free fishing day.

“This event introduces the kids to fishing and gives them an option to find a hobby,” Lincoln City Community Center’s Recreation Program Supervisor Karl McShane said. “I love it because you get to see kids of all ages fight the fish and pull them in.

Many of them will have their limit in the first 15

It’s just a lot of fun.”

Before the fishing day, Viss visits businesses in Lincoln City and Newport to collect donations for prizes to offer the children

who tape part in the fishing day.

“We try to make sure all of them take home something from fishing equipment to toys,” McShane said.

“The Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians also give us a grant to help fund this event,” said Viss.

Those taking part in Free Fishing Day don’t need a license, but are

asked to pre-register at the Lincoln City Community Center at 2150 N.E. Oar Place. Call 541-994-2131 for more details.

Auditions open for Children’s Theatre production of Pinocchio THE NEWS GUARD

Young performers and would-be thespians, entering first through 12th grades, are invited to audition for the upcoming Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) production of ‘Pinocchio,’ at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. Auditions are set for Monday, June 16, at the LCCC, 540 N.E. Highway 101.

All those auditioning should arrive at 10 a.m. sharp, no exceptions, and plan to stay until noon. Some of the cast members will be asked to stay for a rehearsal immediately following the audition.

Among the 60 plus roles to be cast are Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy, Jiminy Cricket, the Fox and Cat, Candlewick and Crew, Urchins, school kids, puppets and toys. No advance preparation or theatrical experience is necessary. Assistant directors will also be cast to aid in rehearsals throughout the week, and to take on essential backstage responsibilities.

“Missoula Children’s Theatre is one of the highlights of our year, and a great way to launch the summer,” Lincoln City Cultural Center Executive Director Niki Price said.

“But the timeline is very tight, so auditions always begin at 10 a.m. sharp and those who are late may not be allowed to participate. The center doors will be open by 9:30 a.m., so that parents and guardians have time to fill out the necessary forms.”

Thanks to local sponsors, participation is free for all children who attend school in Lincoln City or Neskowin.

Other aspiring performers (children and teenagers who attend school outside of the north Lincoln County area) are welcome to participate for a $50 registration fee, which

PINOCCHIO AUDITIONS •

•

10 a.m. Monday, June 16 Lincoln City Cultural Center 540 N.E. Highway 101 Lincoln City 541-994-9994

covers all rehearsal and performances. All those children who are cast must agree to attend rehearsals faithfully throughout the week, and to perform in two shows on Saturday.

The directors will also offer three optional 45-minute theatre education workshops, outside of required rehearsal time, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.

They will address topics such as “Acting 1-2-3,” “Improv” and “Let’s Make-up.” Sign-up sheets will be available after the audition. Admission to these additional workshops is a suggested donation of $5-$10.

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,” Price said.

The husband-and-wife directing team of Allison and Brian Epperson will led the show. This is their second trip to Lincoln City. They were the directors of the 2012 production, “The Frog Prince.”

Last year, 94 children auditioned for the 60 parts available for “The Wizard of

Oz.” To help make this performance experience possible for more local children, the Cultural Center has expanded its participation in MCT. This summer, there will be two MCT shows: “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, RQ Mills Ace Hardware and North Lincoln Sanitary Service. Donations and sponsorships are still needed.

“Each week-long production, including the fee to MCT as well as staff time and auditorium expenses, costs the Cultural Center around $3,900,” she said. “But we have pledged to offer this program, twice this summer, because it’s an incredible opportunity for our students.

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 MCT productions of “Pinocchio” and “Blackbeard the Pirate,” call the Cultural Center at 541-994-9994. Or, send your check to LCCC/ Missoula Children’s Theatre Fund, PO Box 752, Lincoln City, OR 97367.

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.

For tickets or further information, call the center at 541-994-9994.

HUMPERT: I don’t know if I would say this is the main tourist attraction for Lincoln City, but it is certainly a big one. First and foremost, our beautiful beaches bring people to the area. Finders Keepers does a great job in the shoulder seasons continuing to draw people to visit Lincoln City during a time when people tend to travel less. Lincoln City’s reputation for glass art in general has grown over the last number of years.

something many people aren’t intimately familiar with, but everyone can certainly recognize its beauty. Because floats are handcrafted, no two are exactly the same. Finders Keepers is a relatively unique program so you can’t find this just anywhere. We’ve seen some similar promotions pop up, but Finders Keepers continues to set the bar.

The numbered floats have become collectors’ items and some people even catch “float fever,” making it a tradition to come back to Lincoln City again and again to take part. The thrill of the hunt also has a lot to do with it. People always ask us where is the furthest away we get floats registered from. This year, Germany takes that prize.

Coastal Aires Barbershop Chorus Show

Roy Robertson admits he didn’t get into barbershop singing until he was 68 years old.

“I am 85 now,” he said.

And Robertson hasn’t looked back since.

“I love harmony, and that is the thing that has kept me going,” Robertson said. “I also enjoy singing with the other guys.”

Robertson is one of 19 members who make up the Coastal Aires Barbershop Chorus. All reside in Lincoln County. The group has been around since 1995 and is part of the Barbershop Vocal Harmony Society.

The Chorus will present its annual show at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 8, at the Newport Performing Arts Center.

The music is a style of a cappella, or unaccompanied vocal music, characterized by consonant four-part chords for every melody note in a predominantly homophonic texture, according to Wikipedia.

“When you are sing-

ing in harmony it draws people together, the singers and the audience,” Robertson said. “That is the big thing about barbershop singing.”

Robertson describes the annual show as a family event and said barbershop singing is growing in popularity among young people.

“We are seeing young boys who are finding barber shop singing to be a good thing for them,” he said. “We also have events that bring boys and girls who like to sing together.

It offers another avenue to them.”

Over Time, the 2000 International Seniors Barbershop champion, will be the featured headliner at the Coastal Aires Barbershop Chorus’ show.

• 3 p.m. Sunday, June 8 • Newport Performing Arts Center 777 W. Olive St. • 541-265-2787

Forming in April of 1999, the quartet entered and won the Seniors Division IV contest. The Evergreen District Seniors Championship followed. On Jan. 29, 2000, in Tucson, Ariz., Over Time was named the 2000 International Seniors Champion.

The June 8 American Harmony show will also feature Women of Note, a cappella group from the Central Coast Chorale and a chapter quartet, Vocal Point, will also perform.

Tickets are available at the Newport Performing Arts Center box office.

Mutt Masters

HUMPERT: We use a number of Northwest artists, and solicit interest each year from area studios. This year, there were seven different Finders Keepers glass artists, all providing their unique character to the float designs. There has been an effort to localize as much of the program as we can with the Lincoln City Glass Center providing quite a number of the floats for this season. We expect to do the same for next year.

The event also includes booths with pet-related information, local animal welfare and pet service organizations, and food. In addition to the contests, there are dog activities including a tennis ball dunk, doggie limbo, and a ‘confidencestyle’ agility course.

There is a suggested $5 spectator fee. Children under 12 get in free. The shelter will also collect dog and cat food donations.

and their pets.”

As an added incentive, prizes are awarded during the competition that include pet-friendly treats and toys and a raffle with gift certificates donated by local businesses.

“Mutt Masters is a great way for us to connect to Lincoln City, to help spread the word about adoption, and to let folks know we always need volunteers at the shelter,” Ireland said.

“The best part is always seeing dogs that have been adopted from the shelter out with their new
