LINCOLN CITY, OREGON

Community braces for gift of giving

DAILY NEWS ONLINE thenewsguard.com

Santa’s little helpers have begun going about their business in Lincoln City as several service organizations and citizens have started the process of stuffing stockings, so to speak.

The City’s annual food and toy drives, spearheaded by North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District #1 (NLFR) and the Elks and Eagles clubs, are under

way even before Halloween has arrived.

Coupled with corporate efforts, public schools and individual contributions, Lincoln City has reasserted its annual goal of exceeding its unparalleled success of the season before in preparing to warm the homes of the needy with food and gifts and gestures of love.

“It was quite a little Santa’s workshop down here,” said Jan Hall, Elks Club bookkeeper, on

the 250 baskets her charitable organization assembled like elves last Christmas for the many in need who wondered if Santa would make a visit to their house.

The need this year is just as great and the goal that much higher, NLFR volunteer firefighter Marc McPherson said.

Food and toys will be distributed to the local needy during this year’s holiday giving.

Salmon River fishing fit for a king JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard.com

In fishing parlance, the Salmon River has often been to the Siletz what fishermen might not consider a keeper.

Not this fall, however.

The Chinook salmon are hitting and cries of ‘Fish on!” have taken on new meaning, making anglers feel like the kings they have been netting.

“A lot of people are saying the fishing on this river this year is the best they’ve seen since 2004,” said Marshall Stickrod,

owner of Stickrod Bait Co., 1257 Salmon River Highway, in Otis. That year was far and away a record year here. It was phenomenal fishing, and this year’s set up pretty much the same.”

See FISHING, Page A9

“You go from the top of the world right down to the bottom,” said Bev Mackey of Siletz after first winning a $1 million jackpot and than being told she could not collect the money.

Mackey won the prize July 23, 2012, at the Chinook Winds Casino Resort.

She played the “Spin 4 a Million” swipe-to-win machine in the lobby of the casino.

“It looks like a slot machine, but instead of putting in money, you use your casino royalty card to swipe,” said Mackey. “I handed the card to a casino employee who swiped for me. The cylinders came up one million and the machine spit out a slip of paper that read I won $50,000 a year for 20 years and my name was printed right on the slip.”

Mackey said she was so excited she started telling other people in the lobby that she had won the $1 million jackpot.

Bomb forces school evacuation, review of procedures JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@coountrymedia.net

Device (EPCD), referred to as a seal bomb. EPCDs are commonly used by local fisherman to protect their fishing gear from predators during fishing operations.

Deputies and fire officials conducted a full search of the school and no other explosive devices were located.

At approximately 4 p.m.,

determined school officials had not received any oral or written threats before, during, or after the incident, or any indication the device was to be detonated.

Officials speculated that the device could have simply fallen out of the students’ pocket.

Jean Moeller is retiring after spe ticket counter at the Bijou The nding the past 28 years behind the atre.

her honor.

Bijou Theatre box office in the at ced pla te pla a to s Jean Moeller point

Local movie theater legend retires JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net

For the past 28 years, Jean Moeller has been the face you see behind the glass when you purchase tickets at the Bijou Theatre in Lincoln City.

Moeller took the job after moving from Portland.

“There wasn’t anything else to do,” said Moeller on why she stayed at the same job for 28 years.

Moeller had worked for a Portland doctor before relocating to Lincoln City. The doctor was friends with Judy Mace, the former owner of the Bijou Theatre, and

suggested that Moeller apply for work at the theater.

Moeller followed that advice and applied. Within two weeks, she was behind the counter dishing up fresh popcorn and eventually moved to the ticket window.

Her job has led to her recognition around town.

“I don’t know many people, but many people know me,” said Moeller. “People will greet me at the store and on the street, but I have no idea who they are. They remember me because I sold them movie tickets or popcorn at the Bijou.”

When the current owners, Keith

and Betsy Altomare, bought the theater, Moeller, like most of the employees, stayed on.

“Jean has been selling movie tickets every single Friday and Saturday night for the last 17 years for us,” said Keith Altomare. “She rarely missed a day at work unless there was a special country music concert she needed to see or a grandchild getting married somewhere out of state. She is a monumental part of this establishment and always will be.”

Betsy Altomare said she has been impressed by Moeller’s work ethic.

“She always treated the custom-

ers with respect,” said Betsy. “She is always cheerful and likes to joke.”

Betsy Altomare said the Bijou’s motto is that the show starts on the sidewalk and Moeller’s friendly face was what you saw first when you walked up.

“As an employer, I like how conscientious she is counting out her money,” said Betsy. “She would not leave the building until everything came out even.”

The Altomares have placed a small plaque in front of the theater naming the Bijou box office “The Jean Moeller Box Office”’ to thank Moeller for her years of dedication.

Moeller will retire at the end of

this month and move to Vancouver, Wash. But she won’t soon forget her 28 years at the Bijou.

“I will take so many memories with me,” she said. “I saw some fantastic movies and had some excellent popcorn and worked for very delightful owners.”

Moeller said she is looking forward to her retirement.

“I am going to just sit and try to do nothing,” she said.

Her advice to anyone looking for a job at the Bijou: “Be persistent because it is a lot of fun,” said Moeller. “I can’t think of anything that is difficult about this job.”

Hospital board acts on assessment recommendations In an effort to ensure quality care through Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital, the North Lincoln Health District Board has taken action to deal with recommendations made in an assessment of the Lincoln City hospital.

At an Oct. 17 meeting, the board passed two motions calling for a leadership role from Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital (SNLH) in developing two plans.

Samaritan Health Services (SHS) is the company contracted by the NLHD board to operate the hospital.

The first motion calls for SNLH to participate in the development of a short-term repair and re-

furbishment of the hospital as outlined in a Facilities Assessment Report released at a special Oct. 11 board meeting.

The motion calls for two board members on the NLHD campus planning committee to serve on the planning team that will prioritize short-term capital and facility systems work for the hospital.

The second motion calls for SNLH to help develop a long-term master plan to replace the hospital. The local NLHD campus planning committee will also participate with SHS staffers in exploring location, funding, and design options, as well as medical and clinical

services to be offered.

The board action follows a public review Oct. 11 of a consultant’s assessment of the hospital. The report,

by Portland-based Ankrom Moisan Architects, outlined challenges and deficiencies, which included public access, structural, mechanical, plumbing, lighting and other issues.

The consultant recommends a “full replacement” of the hospital.

Issues raised during the public review of the evaluation included the costs of immediate repairs and renovation of the facility, costs and locations of a new hospital, funding sources, the changing health care

front, demographics and community health care needs.

In other business, the board accepted the resignation of Gail Kimberling, vice president of the North Lincoln Hospital Foundation; approved Barbara Halferty as new vice president, appointed Thomas C. Evans to a four-year term on the Foundation Board and se-

lected David L. Hess, Ph.D., to fill the NLHD board

position vacated by Robert Landhuis.

The Oregon Department of Transportation has launched a statewide campaign to drive less.

ODOT launches Oregon Drive Less Challenge The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) has launched the first statewide Oregon Drive Less Challenge with the goal of reducing vehicle miles traveled by a half million during a 12-day stretch from Oct. 21 through Nov. 1.

The Challenge — open to individuals 18 and older who live and/or work in the state — is being spearheaded

by ODOT as part of the state’s ongoing efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and encourage alternative transportation to reduce congestion.

“We’re pleased to launch this effort, in conjunction with our partners around the state, aimed at connecting Oregonians with the many different transportation options available — options that can help save money, improve community health and preserve our high quality of life in Oregon,” ODOT Director Matt Garrett said..

Shelley Snow, ODOT public affairs representative, said the impact of less driving will help ease congestion across the state and in Lincoln County.

“We have an active public transit system providing transportation options in Lincoln City, Newport and throughout the county,” said Snow. “That’s one option. We know we have active bicycles riders in Lincoln County.

We hope we can reach new people with this campaign.

It is easier for some to do this then others, that is why we suggest you do this small, one step at a time. We really want people to consider this and try it by eliminating one trip that you would normally drive alone. That will make a big difference. Just see how it goes.”

ODOT encourages people to try carpooling, walking, biking or taking public transit. Each of these qualifies as one trip in which you helped reduce vehicle miles traveled.

To participate in the challenge, register at the website, www.drivelessconnect. com/challenge and then log in your carpool, vanpool, telework, bus, rail, walk, bike, and skate trips. Participants will have several ways to win a variety of prizes provided by sponsors Wells Fargo and Bike Friday. The more times you log in trips, the greater your chances are of winning a prize, according to ODOT. Local transportation options providers are offering assistance in finding carpools or vanpools, navigating bus schedules and routes, determining bike routes and answering challenge-related questions. To find your local transportation options providers, visit http://drivelessconnect.com/local-support.

Lincoln County Health and Human Services (LCHHS) and the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners have announced that the Department of Veterans Affairs ( VA) will expand VA medical services in Lincoln County to better serve veterans.

Building on its partnership with LCHHS, the VA plans to offer additional primary care services inside the LCHHS Lincoln City clinic.

“Lincoln County Health and Human Services is proud to stand with the Department of Veterans Affairs in this ongoing partnership and

in this exciting expansion of services which will better provide for the health care needs of Lincoln County veterans, right here at home, at our existing Lincoln County clinics,” said Cheryl S. Connell, director of LCHHS, The agreement allows the VA and LCHHS to begin the planning process to expand operations at the LCHHS primary care clinic site at 4422 N.E. Devil’s Lake Blvd. in Lincoln City.

Medical services to area veterans are expected to begin at the site in February 2014. In addition to the 1,340 local

veterans who are already being served at the only other VA clinic site in Lincoln County, which is located at the LCHHS primary care clinic in Newport, there are at least 240 more Lincoln County veterans in the VA medical system who have requested that primary care services be provided locally.

“The men and women who have served our country have earned these services,” County Commissioner Bill Hall said. “I am very glad more of them will be able to access care without having to go outside of the county.”

“The proposed addition of an another local VA medical services provider site will greatly benefit our North Lincoln County veterans by allowing for shorter travel times and distances for their health needs,” said John Reed, Lincoln County Veteran Service officer. “This is a winwin proposal for Lincoln County veterans and for Lincoln County Health and Human Services.”

Veterans interested in obtaining more information can contact Reed at 541-574-6955 or by email at jtreed@co.lincoln.or.us.

Oct. 20-26 is National Friends of Libraries week, a time libraries set aside to acknowledge the support provided by volunteer Friends groups.

These groups provide significant support through fundraising, volunteerism, and advocacy to libraries across the country – including Lincoln City’s Driftwood Public Library.

The Friends of Driftwood Public Library have offered their support since the library was founded by volunteers in 1964, and that support continues to have an impact. In 2012, the Friends donated 2,145 hours and $11,547 dollars to Driftwood Public Library. If you have recently attended a program at the library, chances are you have the Friends to thank for it: the Friends a huge portion of the “nonessentials” that make our library so much more than a place to pick up some good reading. Was your child one of the 120 children who earned a t-shirt during our Summer Reading program this past summer? All of the t-shirts and other prizes, as well as all of the great Family Night programs, were paid for by Friends funds. So if you joined us this summer to laugh uproariously at the antics of Alex Zerbe the Zaniac, or to “ooh” and “aah” over wild animals in the library’s Reading Room, you have the Friends to thank for it!

The Friends also offer support for adult programming throughout the year, enabling the library to bring in bestselling authors like Terry Brooks (author of The Sword of Shannara) and thriller writer J. A. Jance, as well as supporting the annual Oregon Legacy author series in January. This January marks the 20th anniversary of this author series, which highlights both new and established Oregon authors. Guests in the past have included Brian Doyle, Willy Vlautin, Kim Stafford, and Ursula K. Le Guin.

Where do these funds come from? From individuals like you! Every Monday and the third Saturday of each month from 10 AM – 2 PM, the Friends open the doors of the Friends Booksale, selling donated books and books retired from the library at unbeatable prices: just 50 cents for most paperbacks, and $1 for most hardcovers.

Without the hundreds of hours donated and thousands of dollars raised by the Friends, Drift-

wood Public Library would be a very different place. Our Friends group should be recognized and appreciated for their efforts to make Driftwood Public Library a vital and vibrant center of the community. Why not make this the week you show your support to the Friends and to the library? There are so many ways to get involved: • Donate books! You can drop off book donations any time the library is open. Donations to the Friends are tax deductible – just ask at the library front counter for a receipt. Donated books and DVDs may be added to the library collection or sold at the Friends book sale. Either way, we love to have them.

• Volunteer! The Friends are always looking for volunteers to help out in the book sale with shelv-

ing books or other physical tasks. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Vickie Jones, the president of the Friends, at driftwoodfriends@ gmail.com, or call the library at 541-996-2277.

• Get involved! The Friends Board meets in the library’s Fischer Room on the second Wednesday of every month at 10:15 a.m..

We at the library hope that everyone will join us in thanking the Friends for their support, this week and every week.

The Driftwood Library is located at Lincoln City City Hall at 801 S.W. Highway 101, Room 201.

Kirsten Brodbeck-Kenney is the director of the Driftwood Library. She can be reached at 541-9961251.

Lasers: Keep it safe, know the law On Oct. 9, at about 8:30 p.m., Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to a report of people shining a laser at a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) motor lifeboat and helicopter. This vessel and aircraft were on training exercises in the waters off Depoe Bay. Deputies located two individuals in a vehicle parked near the sea-wall parking area in Depoe Bay. After an investigation, an adult male resident of Depoe Bay was taken into custody for Violation of Restraining Order, Menacing, and Disorderly Conduct II. He was lodged in the Lincoln County Jail and his bail was set at $40,000.

Due to the circumstances involving on-duty USCG personnel, the case was referred to the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS).

The CGIS is currently investigating the incident for possible federal charges.

Because this encounter involved both a USCG aircraft and motor lifeboat, there was a risk that the Depoe Bay area would have been left without maritime search and rescue capability for a period of time. The reason; USCG personnel exposed

Voices of Lincoln County Pat on the back I want to thank all of the men and women who protect and serve our community, especially those who volunteer. When the museum had a need for emergency services recently, I was struck by how quickly and effectively our volunteer fire and rescue team responded, within minutes of our call to 911. Their speedy response reminded me that that was not always the case. In the 1920s

and 1930s many homes and businesses burned to the ground before any help could arrive. The fabulous Delake Hotel, built in 1930 had a grand opening that attracted thousands of visitors. Within a year it was gone; completely burned down due to a chimney fire. People tried to help, but the lack of equipment and organization made it difficult, if not impossible.

That need gave rise to our volunteer fire and rescue team, still saving lives

The act mandated that the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which runs the flood insurance program, raise flood insurance rates to repay losses incurred by insurance claims from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and Hurricane Sandy last year, and make the flood insurance program selfsupporting.

“This is a huge issue, not just for Tillamook County but for the entire nation,” Schrader said.

Christine Shirley, Oregon Land Conservation and Development Department National Flood Insurance Program coordinator said there are steps building owners can still take to reduce their insurance rates. One

mitigation tactic is to install flood vents in crawl spaces.

“This is the most important thing you can do to reduce costs,” she said.

“You’ll save substantial money on your rates.”

If your building doesn’t have a crawl space, there are very limited mitigation options available, she said.

Another potential rate-reducer is providing a certificate of an elevation analysis, Shirley said.

If you’ve had one done in the past for insurance reasons, “dig it out and get it to your insurance agent,” she said. “It will help keep your rates down.”

However, many of those present didn’t feel like these solutions were

enough.

“We’re going into crisis mode, because we haven’t had the time to react and respond properly,” said Jennifer Purcell, president of the Tillamook Area Chamber of Commerce board of directors.

Tillamook County Commissioner Mark Labhart suggested that FEMA conduct an affordability study before moving forward with the new rates.

“Once it’s done, it may show that in many cases there are affordability issues across the nation,” he said. He also suggested a more graduated payment schedule to phase in the Biggert-Waters Act insurance increases.

“We are asking congress to slow this program

down and make it more affordable,” he said. “I believe FEMA does have the ability to do this if given direction by Congress.”

While Schrader agreed that delaying implementation of the reform act until at least an affordability study could be conducted, and preferably also until more accurate flood-zone maps are developed for Tillamook County, he didn’t say whether such a delay was feasible.

“I don’t think a lot of unincorporated Tillamook County residents are aware of the 20 percent increase in rates (on top of the new rates) due to Tillamook County being kicked out of the Community Rating System by FEMA due to poor record keeping,” said Vickie Walker, former Oregon state legislator and Neskowin property owner.

The Neskowin Resort Homeowners Association will hold a National Flood Insurance Program Update and Coastal Hazards Workshop from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Nov. 2 at the Neskowin Fire Hall, Nestucca RFPD Station 84 at 48000 Highway 101.

the county budget assuring a stable financial future for the county and for the services we deliver to our citizens.

“I have a long record of widespread county and community involvement culminating in my appointment as a County Commissioner to complete retiring Commissioner Don Lindly’s term. I look forward to the opportunity to continue serving the citizens of Lincoln County.”

Letters Gun Running, Benghazi, NSA Spying, plus other unsavory scandals and now the Syrian/Putin/ Obama debacle soiling America’s image around the world. Our “Mission Statement” is clear: Rollback the cancerous growth of government by insisting on fiscal responsibility, constitutionally limited government and free and open markets.

And we exposed serious flaws in ObamaCare which will harm millions of Americans.

We believe this is why the IRS came after us so relentlessly! Make no mistake, America is in decline here at home and around the world because of the socialist leftist agenda now driving DC.

Barbara Crandall Lincoln City

Upset about vandalism On Sept 9, about 1 p.m.

I drove my 2002 green Dodge Ram pickup to the Lincoln City Safeway Store. While in the store some miscreant decided that they did not like my anti-Obama bumper stickers on the rear of my pickup. So they decided to cause damage to my

truck by hitting the top of the right front fender with their fist or a blunt object.

That caused about $350-500 worth of damage to my pickup. I did not discover it until a week later.

It is rather disturbing that someone decided that they should criticize my political beliefs by causing damage to my property.

I am on Social Security so this damage will cause some financial problems.

Are you just so twisted that you felt that this was a proper response? Are you so wrapped up in your beliefs, that anyone who does not believe as you deserves to be punished by your senseless act of vandalism?? I am not pleased with your senseless vandalism - and truly you are very disturbed, if this is how you act out against people with a different viewpoint then your own.

While you may think it is funny - not too many people share your misguided view of the world.

Your parents must be so proud of you.

me at the other end of town,” said Mackey. “I was so excited.”

Mackey expected a few days’ wait while her jackpot winning was verified. Sure enough, she was invited to the casino to meet with Odds On Promotions representatives. She didn’t expect what she heard next.

“I thought they were coming to pay me my prizes,” said Macky. “The casino indicated there were some problems. No one told me what the problems were.”

Odds On Promotions is a Nevada company that provides promotions and contest prize insurance for casinos, halftime events, golf tournaments, retail promotions, car dealers and nonprofits. It had provided the “Spin 4 a Million” game to Chinook Winds through a contracted promotion.

“A representative from Odds On Promotions told

The incident gave Lincoln County School District officials a better idea of how effective the district’s proce-

me, too bad, that I was not entitled to $1 million because they had made a programming error,” said Mackey. “They told me it wasn’t their fault.”

Mackey, who had attended the meeting with her Newport attorney, Diane Henkels, left the casino frustrated and bewildered.

At the advice from Henkels, Mackey contacted Portland attorney David Markowitz to pursue legal action against Odds On Promotions.

The casino and Mackey have filed a complaint for enforcement of contract and negligence in Siletz Tribal Court to force the company to honor its agreement.

Mackey acknowledged she was surprised the casino didn’t pay her the $1 million prize.

Eric Smileuske, Chinook Winds Casino marketing manager, said Odds On Promotions was legally responsible to pay

the prize.

“We contracted the company for the machine and the winnings,” said Smileuske. “It was basically an insurance policy on the odds.”

Smileuske said signs about the rules and regulations of the “Spin 4 a Million” game were posted within 6 feet of the game for public viewing.

“Chinook Winds did give me $50,000,” said Mackey. “They were very concerned that I had won this and they were working to get Odds On to pay off before I considered legal action. They wanted time to make it right. I am satisfied that the casino is working with me.”

On Feb. 13, a legal complaint against Odds On Promotions was filed by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians in the Tribal Court. The complaint has yet to come before a judge.

“The court granted Bev Mackey’s motion to inter-

dures and policies are during such an emergency.

“We made an announcement on the school intercom system and moved the students out of the school to the nearby football field,” said Tom Rinearson, district superintendent. “At the same time, we notified parents through a telephone recording system of the event.

Everything at the building

worked really well with one exception, I was not immediately notified of the situation.”

As the incident unfolded, Joe Novello, district operations administrator, received a telephone call from Tucker.

“He told me that they found a device and he knew exactly what it was, but he wanted to get direction on what to do,” said Novello.

The parties are

engaged in discovery at this point.”

The News Guard’s calls to Odds On Promotions for comment on Mackey’s jackpot event have not been returned.

“Anytime I have made a mistake I have had to

make it right,” said Mackey.

“This company represents that you can win a million dollars but doesn’t deliver when you do.”

“I told him to pull the fire alarm, send everyone out of the building and call the fire department.”

The Lincoln County School District has high level procedures that are to be followed during emergencies.

“Code Red is the highest level of concern,” said Rinearson. “That’s where we drop everything that we are

doing and take action.”

Rinearson said charts detailing the emergency procedures are in classrooms throughout the district to help teachers, staff and students understand what actions to take in an emergency.

In the seal bomb incident, Novello said the district’s protocol and procedures were followed except

for one detail.

“The only piece that didn’t occur was that the superintendent was not immediately notified,” said Novello. “Everything else went smoothly.”

District administrators are evaluating the school incident to determine what improvements might be needed with the emergency notification system.

NEED A LIFT?

But never as great as the need.

“There is never enough food or toys to satisfy the need,“ he said.

Some organizations, such as Les Schwab Tire Center and Safeway, are teaming to satisfy that need, although their managers, Pat Dean and Randy Alimossy, respectively, are awaiting word on details for their collaborative efforts to please the needy.

Les Schwab again plans a drive to gather toys and food at its 1025 S.W. Highway 101 location, and Safeway, 4101 N.W. Logan Road, is planning to reinstitute its bagful of food drive, where a sack of groceries valued at about $13 to $15 sold for $10 each last year.

The local schools, Taft High 7-12 in particular, plan to again join in the drive by pitting its yearly graduating classes against one another in competition to add to the cause.

Taft High students and faculty and staff collected 1,494 cans of food and more than $400 in new toys for families in need and plan to continue that tradition under counselor Vicky Roller’s leadership. Last year, the seventh- and eighthgraders won the contest and prizes such as 10 minutes of extra lunch time and a pizza party with donuts by amassing 632 cans of food.

“There should be another huge amount of food that comes to us from them, which is going to be fantastic,” McPherson said.

Besides NLFR, no one is

more actively involved than the Elks and Eagles clubs.

Together they assembled 400 Christmas food baskets that helped 2,000 people, including 1,200 children, receive food and toys.

The Elks and Eagles sort the food and toys, put the toys in age-appropriate piles, match the toys to the child based on application requests and then wrap each toy.

“We try to fill them the best we can with what the kids want. We don’t just give them junk,” Hall said. “We try to give them, within reason, what they’re asking for, then we have people come in and wrap them.”

The fire department will deliver the food and toys the all the girls and boys on Saturday, Dec. 21, Hall said.

LINT search leads to two arrests Depoe Bay man arrested following laser incident A Depoe Bay man faces charges after he allegedly pointed a laser at a U.S. Coast Guard motor lifeboat and helicopter on training exercises in the waters off Depoe Bay. At about Henry Luther Cole Jr. 8:30 p.m., Oct. 9, Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies, investing a report of someone shining a laser at the Coast Guard personnel during the training, located subjects in a vehicle parked near

the seawall area in Depoe Bay. After an investigation, Depoe Bay resident Henry Luther Cole Jr., 46, was taken into custody for violation of a restraining order, menacing and disorderly conduct II. Cole was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail and his bail was set at $40,000.

Due to the circumstances involving on-duty Coast Guard personnel, the case was referred to the Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS). The CGIS is investigating the incident for possible federal charges.

Because this encounter involved both a Coast Guard aircraft and motor lifeboat, the area was left without maritime search and rescue capability for eight to 10 hours. All Coast Guard personnel exposed to the laser were required to undergo a medical examination prior to returning to duty.

A lengthy investigation into methamphetamine trafficking in Lincoln County has ended with the arrest of two suspects.

The arrests are related to a search warrant served by detectives assigned to the Lincoln Interagency Narcotics Team (LINT) on two vehicles and a residence in Lincoln City.

On Oct. 15, LINT detectives, with the assistance of the Salem Drug Enforcement Administration, stopped a vehicle in the Van Duzer Corridor Rest Area on Highway 18 near Lincoln City. Investigators contacted Ricardo Hernandez, 45, and his 19-year-old daughter. During the contact, information was provided that methamphetamine would be found in Hernandez’s other vehicle, driven by his wife in Lincoln City.

Detectives located the other vehicle and subsequently seized over three ounces of methamphetamine and one-quarter ounce of cocaine.

A search warrant served at the Hernandez residence in Lincoln City led to the seizure of evidence related to the delivery of methamphetamine and a large amount of cash. Hernan-

dez was arrested and lodged in the Lincoln County Jail for unlawful possession, delivery, and manufacture of a controlled substance, and unlawful delivery and possession of a controlled substance.

As part of the ongoing investigation, on Oct. 16, LINT detectives, Toledo Police Department and a Newport Police K-9 officer contacted Brandy Delynn Wirth, 31, near her Toledo residence and found she was in possession of a half-ounce of methamphetamine. She

was arrested and lodged in the Lincoln County Jail for unlawful possession and delivery of a controlled substance.

LINT detectives were assisted in the Hernandez searches

by Newport Police Department, Lincoln City Police Department, and the Salem DEA task force.

Cubs dampen Taft’s homecoming JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewguard.com

Oregon West Football Standings

The same two players figured most prominently Friday in Taft High’s football game, but the result was as familiar as the announcement of their names over the public address system — another humbling defeat for the Tigers.

“We’re moving along, but we’re not content. You’re never content,” Taft coach James Mick said after the Tigers fell 55-20 to rival Newport in an Oregon West Conference game at Voris Field in which quarterback Pete Lahti and wide receiver Seth Steere combined for all of the Tigers’ scoring.

Unfortunately for the Tigers, it was not only another conference defeat, their fourth in four games, but a homecoming loss to boot, coming in the final meeting between the coast rival schools as members of the Class 4A ranks. Taft is expected to be formally approved later this month for a drop in classification to the 3A West Valley League.

You’re likely to hear much more of Lahti, a junior, at that time, but the dynamic combination he has formed with Steere, the player he replaced at QB, won’t be as the senior two-way starter will conclude his career Friday, Oct., 25, at Cascade (5-3 overall, 2-2 Oregon West).

Newport running back Devon Rawles gains ground against the Tigers in his team’s 55-20 victory. son, Killian Kuhn and Nick Logan will also play their final game for Taft.

“Seth has been just a great player for us and a great kid,” Mick said.

Lahti too, his coach said, although the Cubs (3-5, 2-2) threw several new defensive looks at him and Taft struggled with the passing game in falling behind 27-0 at halftime.

It was during halftime that Lahti’s brother, Henry, had his name announced over the speaker system as Taft’s 2013-14 homecoming king, but it was the name Peter Lahti heard most throughout the second half as he twice

hooked up with Steere for touchdowns and scored a third himself.

Down 34-0, Lahti teamed with Steere for a 38-yard touchdown with 3:34 to play in the third quarter and again from 19 yards with 11:51 remaining in the game.

Not to be restricted to the offensive side of the ball, Lahti returned a fumble 38 yards for a score from his defensive backfield position to make the final 55-20 with 1:25 to play.

Before that, Taft could not contain junior running backs Dalen Hargett and Devon Rawles, who staked the Cubs to the comfortable cushion in the first half, which was marred by several turnovers by each team.

The losses kept the Tigers winless with the season finale scheduled Tuesday, Oct. 22, (past deadline) at home against Cascade.

Junior Katie McCardell led Taft in kills with five and blocks with two and was 7-for-7 serving with an ace in Tuesday’s loss to the Panthers.

Kelsey Wilkinson had a team-leading eight assists and senior Taylor Adams 13 digs.

“We had trouble passing the ball on serve-receive,” coach Frank Napoleon said.

“Without good passing, our offense was not clicking.”

Napoleon credited Adams with strong defen-

Passing lets Tigers down in two defeats JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard.com

Lack of an efficient passing game hampered Taft High’s offense in two Oregon West Conference road volleyball defeats last week.

Central beat the Tigers 25-17, 25-4, 25-10 on Tuesday, Oct. 15, and Newport downed Taft 25-10, 25-23, 25-17 on Thursday, Oct. 17.

sive play despite the defeat, which left the Tigers 0-15 overall and 0-9 in the Oregon West.

“Central was hitting the ball well,” he said. “We were not able to put up many blocks on them.”

The Cubs defeated Taft in straight games Thursday

to leave the Tigers 3-43 in games played this season.

“Newport served the ball well and we were not able at times to get the passes to our setters,” Napoleon said.

McCardell had eight kills, eight blocks and five digs, and Adams and Wilkinson seven and six assists, respec-

tively.

Junior Kendra Knudson was 10 of 10 serving with five aces.

“We had a very good second game,” Napoleon said.

“The team registered many kills and blocks in that game.

Unfortunately, we were not able to pull out the win.”

Improving Tigers tamed twice JIM FOSSUM sports@thenewsguard.com

Oregon West Soccer Standings

First-year Taft High soccer coach Justin James experienced some of the highs of lows of coaching in a threeday timeframe last week.

The Tigers lost both games they played, but in drastically different fashion, falling to Stayton 10-0 at home on Tuesday, Oct. 15, then rebounding to surrender just one goal in a 1-0 home loss to Philomath on Thursday. Oct. 17.

“This was a very hard game for the whole team,” James said of the shutout rout at the hands of the Eagles (82-0 overall, 6-0 Oregon West).

“We did not give it our all from the second the clock started.”

Two days later, James had a different perspective on his squad’s play.

“We were like a totally different team,” he said of the competitiveness displayed by the Tigers in a close shutout loss to the Warriors (5-1-4, 2-1-3). “Our defense played amazing. We just couldn’t score.”

James said he was particularly pleased with the play in goal of Chase Dillon with eight saves. Other standouts, he said, were Mason Aguirre and Grant Blodgette.

“Mason played extremely hard throughout the entire game,” James said. “He ran hard from start to finish and kept trying to get people into scoring position. Grant really stepped up defensively and played a very aggressive allaround game.”

Meanwhile, Taft’s junior

Keyonna Williams and Angelo Gamboa scored Taft’s goals against the Eagles and Kai Kelly was effective in goal with 12 saves in place of the starting goalkeeper, who was sick.

“Our team played a great game,” coach Nicole James said.

Even more gratifying was the Tigers’ play in the narrow defeat to the Warriors.

“The whole team played amazing,” James said. “We played extremely aggressive on defense. We just struggled with getting shots on the goal.”

trails that wind above and below the fish hatchery on North Bank Road in Otis.

Fishing just above the hatchery on Saturday, Oct. 19, Gary Nolan was returning to the site where he netted a 25-pounder just a week before.

Generally a boat fisherman, Nolan said he simply drops a bobber in the current with about 4 feet of leader and watches it drift, waits for it to go under, and sets the hook.

Some fishermen, such as 14-year-old high school freshman Mitchell Hill of Monmouth, have been coming to the Salmon River every weekend recently, lured by their success.

They’ve landed at least two or three fish a week for the past several weeks, he said.

“The fishermen here are diehards,” said Marc McPherson, who lives on the Salmon River on North Bank Road. “They’ll pound the water for 12 to 13 hours.

I don’t have that kind of constitution.”

The Salmon River, which rarely experiences a spring run, has been virtually overflowing with kings in comparison to previous years this fall, and the Chinook fishing should bend anglers’ poles through midNovember, Stickrod, and his wife, Tammy, said.

“Fishing on the Salmon River this year has been phenomenal, that’s the only way I can put it,” she said.

“We never expected to do this much.”

Depoe Bay resident and property manager Ted Ramsey, who says he fishes as much as he can, has tried his luck in the Pacific Northwest most of his life.

He frequents the Alsea and Siletz rivers, as well as the Salmon River this year.

“This year is better than most. It’s been a phenomenal year for salmon,” said Ramsey, who has landed seven keepers of the 18to 20-pound range with various bait, lures and jigs in three recent trips to the Salmon River.

“I like the early morning bite. That’s just me,” he said.

“A lot of guys fish all day

long, but I like early morning. If I don’t have a fish by 11, 12 o’clock, I’m going home.”

Anglers also are catching more than their fair share after the noon hour, however. But Ramsey’s fishing buddy, Steve Campbell of Salem, fishes the Salmon River about once a month and hasn’t had success.

“It’s a great year from what I’ve seen around me.

I’ve just been on the wrong day, either a day late or a day before,” he said.

An indication of the Salmon River’s success, Tammy Stickrod said, has been the fact her store has been sold out of its own cured eggs for two weeks now. Normally, Stickrod’s sells 700 pounds of eggs and they’re all gone.

“At the beginning of the season, they were smaller, but pretty nice fish, and last week or so we started to see bigger ones coming in,” she said. “We deal with a lot of other bait and tackle stores, and this year’s been good for everybody.”

Marshall Stickrod suggests parking and fishing near the Highway 101 bridge or on

Along Garden Paths

By Karen Brown

Autumn’s Leaving “A

utumn leaves must fall” said a oncepopular song that comes to my mind when I look out at the big-leaf maples around us, and the vine maple so bright red and gold outside my office window. While we don’t have the many species that characterize parts of the country that are known for their autumn color, we still enjoy a respectable amount of color in this area. If your neighborhood is dull, drive east on Highway 18 for about 10 miles. e are blessed to have such a large percentage of our native trees be evergreen, both needled and with leafy foliage. Especially if you live near the beach, the choices of deciduous trees are few, due to their lack of resistance to the summer north wind. In general, deciduous leaves are less waxy and weaker than their evergreen cousins, making them more susceptible to damage. aking leaves, with associated jumping into leaf piles, piling them by the curb in cities, and the autumn smell of burning leaves make the stuff of comic strips in my experience. However, many of us do have just enough leaves to make figuring out of what to do with them part of our autumn gardening chores. It is certainly best not to leave them in soggy piles on your lawn, and those that collect on your walkways can become dangerously slippery, so you do need to pay some attention to them. ry leaves are an excellent addition to a compost pile, providing the “brown” component that is so important to encouraging heating up and decomposition that makes your compost useful in your garden. You might want to store some dry leaves to add periodically if you add to your compost during the winter. The mature leaves help balance soft weeds and kitchen scraps. f you aren’t that energetic, it is all right to pile the leaves high in an out-of-the-way place to decompose at their own speed.

Cover the pile with netting, if necessary, to prevent them blowing around. How about digging a shallow trench, piling in several inches of leaves, and covering them back up with the soil you removed?

That can certainly be done effectively in a vegetable garden or annual flower bed that will be unused until spring.

Or simply rake a generous layer under shrubs or trees and let nature take care of the problem. t would be best if the leaves were not diseased, but sometimes that can’t be helped. Our big leaf maples have a fungus every year, and they are so widespread there would be no way for us to collect and destroy all those leaves. I’m sure the fungus spores overwintering do contribute to the next year’s disease, but so many spores will have already dropped to the ground by the time the leaves do that I don’t worry about more. We rake them under the rhodies and other shrubs that thrive under the margin of the maples, and call it good. esides making a warm blanket of mulch, the leaves contain all the minerals plants use for their growth, and these are gradually returned to the soil with the action of earthworms and other tiny members of the soil ecology where they will be used for future plant growth. If you haul your leaves away, you are losing that valuable natural fertilizer.

Even the ubiquitous alders, which seem to start losing leaves as soon as they grow them, contribute valuable nutrients to their surroundings. on’t forget to get any spring blooming bulbs into the ground right away now. It would be fine to cover those worked up spots with some of those leaves too.

With so many good uses, you may find yourself asking your friends to save leaves for you!

Czech Republic musicians to perform in Neskowin The Zemlinsky Quartet from the Czech Republic will present the second concert in Neskowin Chamber Music’s 20th season on Sunday, Nov. 3.

It last appeared in Neskowin in the 2010-2011 season.

Founded in 1994, the quartet has become a leading example of the Czech string quartet tradition, performing all the United States and Europe. In every decade, the Czech nation celebrates a year ending in four as The Year of Czech Music. Most of the leading Czech composers were born or died in such a year.

To follow that tradition, the Zemlinskys will devote their season to performing works by the famous composers of their native land — Dvorak, Suk, Smetana and Janacek.

The quartet has received numerous awards, including the Alexander Zemlinsky Advancement Award, New Talent Bratislava, Martini Foundation String Quartet Competition, the Prize of the Czech

Chamber Music Society, and the Grand First Prize of the Bordeaux Competition.

Members of the quartet are: Frantisek Soucek, first violin; Petr Strizek, second violin; Petr Holman, viola; and Vladimir Fortin, violoncello.

The Zemlinskys will also present an outreach program at 9 a.m. Monday, Nov. 4 at Oceanlake Elementary School.

Performers for the rest of the 20th season are: pianist Andrius Zlabys, Jan. 26; Kaplan/Weiss Duo, Feb. 9; Borealis String Quartet, March 16; Amelia Piano Trio, April 13; and Ariel String Quartet, May 4.

The performances are scheduled for 3 p.m. at Camps Winema, three miles north of Neskowin just west of Highway 101.

Season tickets are $110.

Individual tickets for $25 are available at the door. Call ahead to get on a waiting list.

The Zemlinsky Quartet.

by Bob’s Beach Books, will follow Ann’s presentation.

Rule’s mother was a teacher, specializing in developmentally disabled children, and her father was a sports coach. Members of Rule’s family had careers in law enforcement. Her grandfather and uncle were sheriffs in Michigan, another uncle was a medical examiner and a cousin was a prosecutor. Rule spent her summers with her grandparents doing volunteer work in the local jail.

Rule graduated from Coatesville High School and attended the University of Washington. She majored in creative writing, with minors in criminology, penology and psychology. She extended her education for two more years at Highline Community College by taking criminology courses.

Early in her career, Rule

Ann Rule • 6:30 p.m.

Beginning in 1969, she wrote for the magazine True Detective under the pseudonym “Andy Stack.”

Her first book was The Stranger Beside Me, which chronicled the investigation into the crimes of Ted Bundy.

She wrote Stranger under her own name. Her next three books (The Lust Killer, The Want-Ad Killer, and The I-5 Killer) were written as Andy Stack.

In 2008, the Library of America selected Rule’s story “Young Love” from the book Empty Promises for inclusion in its two-century retrospective of American true

crime writing, True Crime: An American Anthology.

In April 2012, “48 Hours Mystery” covered Rule’s successful effort to help a mother prove her daughter’s 1998 death was murder. The resulting book was In the Still of the Night. Her most recent book, Practice to Deceive, was published earlier this month.

Rule is a mother of five.

Her daughter, Leslie Rule, is also an author.

This final event in the Dark and Stormy Night series is made possible by support from The Driftwood Library Foundation and from The Historic Anchor Inn. Questions about the series may be directed to Ken Hobson at Driftwood Public Library at 541-996-1242 or kenh@lincolncity.org.

Driftwood Public Library is located on the second floor of Lincoln City City Hall, at 801 S.W. Highway 101. The Lincoln City Cultural Center is located at 540 N.E. Highway 101, 2 traffic lights north of the library.

Halloween From page B1

“I love to create. Steve is an absolute artist. With my computer background we make things come to life and raise the creep factor. We make a good team.”

Prewitt uses his keen sense of art and decoration and his passion for fun and excitement to design and build the holiday scenes and decorations.

The Halloween display includes Hanging Harry on the gallows. When visitors walk by a sensor triggers Harry to jerk and scream and promise he won’t steal Christmas lights.

“We caught him and that’s his punishment for stealing the lights,” said Prewitt.

There is also a haunted graveyard with zombie crawlers, loud speakers to project the sounds of thunder and lighting and Halloween music as well

as a fog machine to set the scene during the presentation. In previous years, Prewitt even had an electric chair on display.

“You could actually electrocute the figure in the chair,” he said. “ He promises more surprises at the event but won’t reveal what they will be.

“We won’t talk about the surprises because we want you to come and experience them,” he said.

Prewitt has invested thousands of dollars into both the Halloween and Christmas display projects and he also expects to hand out more than 2,000 pieces of candy during Halloween night.

“Just to see the expression on the kids faces makes it all worthwhile,” said Prewitt. “This is a family-friendly event and it is a safe place to come to.”

Prewitt’s Holmes Road

Halloween display will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. on Oct. 31. Cars will not be allowed. Visitors are encouraged to park on Holmes Road and near the Antique Mall and walk along the roadway to take in other neighborhood holiday displays on the way to Prewitt’s property at 2642 N.E. Holmes Road.

The Christmas lights display from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. begins the day after Thanksgiving and runs through News Year’s night.

Santa will be on hand Dec. 23 and Dec. 24. During that display, Prewitt will accept cash donations for the Volunteer Firefighters Association and non-perishable food for the local food bank and Lincoln County Animal Shelter.

“This is a good hobby,” said Prewitt. “Some people fly planes, some people play with trains. I play with holiday decorations and displays.”
