NOAA looks to protect Orcas

Missing man’s body found

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is proposing to expand critical habitat for the Southern Resident orca whales over 15,626 square miles in the Pacific Ocean along the West Coast.

On Sept. 14, the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, along with members of Lincoln County Search and Rescue team and the Lincoln City Police Department, resumed searching a property on Widow Creek Road for missing person Cameron Ray Shelden. 37-year-old Shelden from Seattle, Wash. was reportedly visiting the Lincoln City area and had last been seen on foot in the Widow Creek area near Otis and Rose Lodge on Sept. 2. Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue was activated and began searching for Shelden by performing a number of search operations over multiple days. Search efforts included utilizing ground search volunteers, specially

The proposal The proposal would extend critical habitat for the whales along a roughly 1,000-mile swath of West Coast waters between the depths of 6.1 meters (20 feet) and 200 meters (about 650 feet). It would stretch from Cape Flattery, Washington, south to Point Sur, California, just south of Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay. NOAA Fisheries West Coast Region Public Affairs Officer Michael Milstein said the expansion proposal comes after court action. “The Center for Biological Diversity filed a petition with us to update the critical habitat designation, and later sued NOAA Fisheries,” Milstein said. “This is a settlement agreement in which we agreed to do so.” Despite reports that the designation could lead to a host of new restrictions affecting fishing, vessel movements, aquaculture and military activities, Milstein said the agency does not expect See ORCA, Page A3

Habitat for Humanity to build in Lincoln City MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net Coming no later than 2022, Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County will have constructed two brand new homes in Lincoln City. Recently, Habitat of Lincoln County was given a pair of vacant lots located in the Garden Estate subdivision of Lincoln City. The two lots sit side by side and were County acquired properties as a result of tax foreclosures. Having tax foreclosure properties donated to local nonprofits is not uncommon statewide, but in Lincoln County, this is a new trend. “This is the first time that we have received a foreclosed property like this, I believe it’s the first time that Lincoln County has been able to donate a foreclosed property to a nonprofit,”

Habitat of Lincoln County was given a pair of vacant lots located in the Garden Estate subdivision. said Lucinda Taylor, executive director of Habitat Lincoln County. The lots located in the north end of Lincoln City come to Habitat tailor-made for a build from the ground up, which has the Habitat team excited about a quick turnaround.

“The county was looking for pieces of property that would actually suit the need of nonprofits and these pieces of land work perfectly,” Taylor said. “The water and sewer is already in, it’s relatively flat, there aren’t any huge trees… these are ideal for Habitat and we

haven’t received anything quite this fabulous.” A big part of the acquisition of these properties was in part thanks to County Commissioner Kaety Jacobson. Jacobson also felt these lots were build ready and in a good neighborhood, which is why she pushed to donate

them. “It is a drop in the bucket of a huge housing issue,” Jacobson said. “However, as organizations and as individuals we need to ask ourselves, what can we do? Even if it is a drop in the bucket. This will help families.” For this project, Taylor said the timetable starts with clearing out the foliage on the lot, which should be done by the end of the year. Then they plan to break ground this time next year or early 2021 and finish up by the end of 2021 or 2022 at the latest. However, Taylor said there are a lot of variables for all their projects. “We move a little slower partially because we need to do the fundraising,” Taylor said. “We’d like to have at least half of the cost of conSee HABITAT, Page A3

OCCC starts classes, looks ahead to eventful Fall term OREGON COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE A new academic year is beginning at Oregon Coast Community College, and it promises to be an eventful one. The first day of classes for Fall term was Monday, Sept. 23. In October, OCCC will welcome an Evaluating Committee of college presidents and administrators from throughout the Northwest. The visit is the latest in a long series of steps the College has taken in its long process in pursuit of independent accreditation. The adventure began more than five years ago, in July 2014, when the OCCC Board of Education charged President Birgitte Ryslinge with leading the College to independence. That same year, Tillamook Bay Community College and Columbia Gorge Community College both secured their independent accreditation, after years of work similar to what OCCC has been going through. Both TBCC and CGCC had previously been accredited through Portland Community College, as OCCC is today. After its visit – scheduled for Oct. 16, 17 and 18 – the Evaluating Committee will submit its findings to the Northwest Commission on Colleges and Universities. The NWCCU, in turn, will make a decision in January 2020 about whether OCCC will be granted Initial Accreditation. If the College is successful, accreditation will be retroactive to the start of this Fall’s term, September 2019. Complete details of the College’s ongoing pursuit of independent accreditation can be found on the College website, oregoncoastcc.org. New programs This year, more classes than ever will be available via distance-delivery, using Zoom videoconferencing. This allows classrooms of students from one part of

A wide variety of courses will take advantage of this improving technology, including OCCC’s teacher-education program. This is the second year of the College’s partnership with the Lincoln County School District, to provide a clear pathway for local students eager to become schoolteachers. “Through our ‘grow-ourown teachers’ Rural Teacher Pathway, funded by a generous grant from the Meyer Memorial Trust, students can begin their teaching degree here at OCCC – some can even start while in high school,” President Ryslinge said. “In the third year of the program, the students will need to spend nine months at Western Oregon University, but the fourth year returns them to Lincoln County, where those participants with adequate academic performance will be placed in student teaching positions.” Successful graduates will receive preferential treatment in the LCSD’s hiring process. Another highly anticipated program the College has long pursued is slated to come to fruition during this academic year. This February, OCCC will begin offering welding courses – the vanguard of a lineup that the College plans to develop

into a robust maritime construction program. The welding offerings will be made possible thanks to partnerships with the Port of Toledo and the Lincoln County School Districts. Interest in the initial welding classes has been intense; a series of Facebook posts made last spring when grant funding was secured to make the program possible were met with more than 10,000 post interactions. “In other words, as many as one in five residents of Lincoln County reached out and reacted to news of this future program in the space of just a few days,” said Dave Price, OCCC’s Director of Marketing and Community Engagement. Details about the welding program will be available on the College website, oregoncoastcc.org, as February nears. Improvements abound The OCCC Nursing and Allied Health Department continues to grow. Last year, the school added two new high-tech mannikins, allowing students cuttingedge equipment with which to practice live interactions with “patients” in the school. The mannikins were funded by generous grants from the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund. More support grew from elsewhere in the community, such as a $50,000

contribution to the program from the North Lincoln Health District. “In past years, we have been so appreciative of matching donations of $40,000 each from the Pacific Communities Hospital Foundation and the North Lincoln Health District,” said Linda Mollino, director of Allied Health and CTE Programs. “This year, North Lincoln’s contribution to our nursing program and its students jumped 25 percent. We’re grateful for that generous bump, and for the continued support from Newport. “These institutions support our program in large part because of the excellent nurses our program graduates each year to support the best possible patient care in Lincoln County hospitals.” The Stagecoach The South, Central and North locations of Oregon Coast Community College (located in Waldport, Newport and Lincoln City, respectively) are abuzz for lots of other reasons this Fall. OCCC students are planning to launch their own newspaper, ‘The Coastal Stagecoach,’ this year. Meanwhile, there’s big news at the College Store inside the Newport Campus. There, a new oven means students will be able to order fresh, made-to-order

pizza – with homemade dough made fresh each morning. To go with their hot pizza, students can fill up reusable bottles with cool, fresh, filtered water, using filling stations installed in Newport and Lincoln City. Both were funded by the Siletz Tribal Charitable Contribution Fund and funds raised by OCCC’s Associated Student Government group. With the stations installed, the College will be planning next steps as it works to drastically reduce the number of plastic singleuse water bottles brought to campus. This year marks another year of growth in the College’s dual-credit offerings, which deliver college-level courses and credits to Lincoln County high school students. The College is also continuing its Early College Program, providing free tuition to some high school students for classes taught at College campus locations. Details are available on the College website or from high school counselors. Meanwhile, the College continues to offer its Digital Media & Marketing Studios, in Newport and in Lincoln City, to local businesses in need of professional photography, video, video editing, or audio recording and production services. The studios are managed by the OCCC Small

Business Development Center and were funded by Economic Development Grants from the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners. When not in use by local businesses (who pay $30 per hour to use the space and equipment), the studios are often available at no charge to OCCC students. The College also offers an impressive lineup of degrees and certificates, including transfer degrees in which many local students earn the first two years of a four-year degree at home before transferring to OSU, Western Oregon or other universities as juniors. The OCCC Aquarium Science Program is a unique program that offers a degree program as well as a oneyear certificate program. Most of its one-year participants are from outside Lincoln County, and typically these students arrive having already earned four-year degrees from universities in areas such as marine biology. The hands-on practical skills in care and feeding of aquatic plants and animals, as well as experience in PVC piping and plumbing and lots of other areas, contributes to impressive job-placement rates for Aquarium Science Program graduates. In addition, this Fall brings a wide variety of non-credit community education and small business classes open to anyone in the community. These classes range from cooking to German language, and from Internet Security to CCB License Prep and Testing, among many others. Find the complete lineups at oregoncoastcc.org/ communityed and oregoncoastcc.org/sbdc.

Respite services come to Lincoln City THE NEWS GUARD Most parents ask a relative to watch their child so they can run to the grocery story, go on a date, or take a nap.

Kids get a break from their daily lives, and their parents get an opportunity to unwind and recharge, which helps stabilize families. “Currently there are no respite homes in Lincoln County,” Jennifer Schwartz, System of Care coordinator, said. “This is a tremendous

problem for the community because respite care is a crucial service for supporting and stabilizing families.” To fill this need, Morrison Child and Family Services are recruiting families to provide respite care for kids in Lincoln County.

Found From page A1 trained K-9s used to detect human remains, excavation equipment and drone technology. “The team searched extensively in the large area of difficult terrain and heavy brush, but Shelden was not located,” stated the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. On the morning of Sept. 17, the Sheriff’s Office received a call from a property owner on Widow Creek Road stating a deceased subject was located on the property. Deputies

and detectives responded to the property and were directed to a location that was outside their initial search parameters, which they had searched using excavation equipment. Detectives located the remains of a highly decomposed subject in dense vegetation that matched the description and was presumptively identified as Cameron Shelden. The Lincoln County Sheriff’s requested the Oregon State Police Forensics

Services Division respond for scene processing and more forensics analysis were conducted. On Sept. 19, the Oregon State Medical Examiner’s Office determined that the subject had suffered from a gunshot wound to the head, consistent with a .45 caliber bullet. “Detectives located a .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun and single .45 caliber shell casing where the body was recovered,” stated the Lincoln County Sheriff’s

Office. “Due to the advanced state of decomposition of the body, the OSME is continuing the examination.” Lincoln County Sheriff’s also said that positive identification of the body is still being determined and the death investigation continues. Anyone with information pertaining to this case are encouraged to call the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Tip Line at 541-2650669.

We encourage everyone to volunteer.”

For Habitat homeowners, they are not only the beneficiaries of a new home, but also of valuable skills they will learn throughout the building process. “A lot of our homeowners have something called sweat equity hours they put in, so one of the things we

like to try to encourage is having them actually work on the house themselves so they’re learning those skills,” said James Farlin, Habitat Construction Manager. “Part of that is not only enabling them with a house, but also enabling them to take care of the house because they

are owners of this property and after we turn it over to them, it’s their house to maintain.” Habitat of Lincoln County is currently in the process of finishing up a project in Newport and will then be all-in on the Lincoln City build. Once they make head-

Southern Residents prey on them during winter off the West Coast. Most of the Chinook the whales were documented eating came from the Columbia River Basin. This includes spring Chinook from the lower Columbia, fall salmon from the middle Columbia, and spring/ summer Chinook from the upper Columbia. The whales mainly preyed on Chinook salmon. They also consumed halibut, lingcod, steelhead, chum, skate and northern anchovy at times.

Activities that are not funded, authorized or carried out by a federal agency would not be affected.” Milstein said NOAA also does not expect practical change from the expansion because the agency already considers the Southern Resident killer whales in reviewing federal actions in areas the whales use. “We already consider the whales in assessing the impacts of the operations of dams on the Columbia River, because we know that they

prey on salmon from that river system,” he said. History According to a report from NOAA Fisheries posted at the agency’s online site, in 2006, NOAA Fisheries designated critical habitat for the killer whales in the inland waters of Puget Sound and the Salish Sea, where the whales typically spend much of the year. At the time, there was not enough information to support extending the critical habitat to the outer coast. Since then, satellite tracking, acoustic monitoring and sightings data have confirmed that two of the three Southern Resident pods regularly range south along the West Coast as far as the Central California Coast during winter. The third pod, J Pod, typically remains further north, either in inland

Loss of salmon The National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) reports one reason for the decline of the killer whales is the loss of salmon. “Salmon have declined because of land alteration throughout the Pacific Northwest associated with agriculture, timber harvest practices, the construction of dams, urbanization, fishery harvest practices, and hatchery operations. Many of the salmon populations that were once abundant historically have declined to the point where they have been listed as endangered or threatened with extinction,” according to the NMFS

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY City Property vs. Private Property In an upper scale neighborhood near my house there are two new homes that are using city property for an egress to their homes. The design of their driveway,they share, was poorly planned and never should have been approved by the Planning Department and as a result, city property, which my tax dollars go to support, is being used to make it easier for these two private residences to access their property. Trees and plants the city planted were also destroyed in the building of one of these homes.

It is completely unfair to every resident of this city that these homes are able to use tax payer property for their own use. All that is needed is for this subdivision to replace the plants they destroyed along the edge of their driveway, this would solve the issue, exactly how much city property are residents allowed to use for their own use simply to make it easier to access their property? Sept. 19, two planning department people drove up this driveway, driving across the city properties driveway. It is not necessary for these two homes to use the city driveway, it is out

of sheer laziness, self serving and a complete disregard for others that the private driveway was designed in this way. If the city driveway was a private residence, this would not be happening. The city property in question is the Pump House at the corner of SW Coast and SW 24 Street. The public works department needs to look into this matter and resolve it.

James Edward Schroeder March 2, 1952 – September 4, 2019 Jim (Sugar Bear) left us peacefully, while sleeping, after a long battle with cancer on the evening of September 4, 2019, at the age of 67. He was born in McMinnville to Ed and Alta Schroeder an grew up in Lincoln Beach with his five siblings. Jim met the love of his life Patti as a freshman in high school, marrying soon after graduation. They shared forty eight beautiful years together and had two daughters. He enjoyed camping, boating, fishing, crabbing and motorcycling. He was never one to sit still very well, and he was prone to

Linley Mitchell Richie Linley Mitchell Richie (Mitch) passed away at OHSU Hospital on September 12, 2019. Mitch was born on July 5, 1979 at North Lincoln Hospital. He attended Faith Baptist for Kindergarten and the public schools in Lincoln City. Mitch was very active in youth, participating in wrestling and baseball. In high school he started playing golf and played in the band. He graduated from Taft High School in 1997. Mitch loved working on trucks, cars, boats and motorcycles. During high school he worked at his uncle’s boat shop in Taft. He loved the outdoors

tinkering in his shop. His greatest joy however, was spending time with his family and friends. Jim spent his years working in the woods and as a log truck driver, eventually owning and operating his own truck and finishing his career driving powder and dump trucks. Many mentors and leaders crossed his path in life, making him the great man we admired so much. With his kind and faithful, strong and steady ways, Jim helped anyone in need. Through his example, we learned to play fair, follow the rules if they made sense, and follow through on our promises even if we didn’t want to. Teaching us to be strong, kind and a sense of pride in our work and ourselves was a part of his legacy as a father. Jim had a great sense of humor and loved to joke with his famous line “you ready to go? Can I start your car for you” to those upon immediate arrival. His witty sense of humor not only brought laughter and joy, but a sense of levity to most

situations. All of these wonderful qualities not only made Jim a great friend, but allowed him to have many great friends in return, and they were by his side the entire journey if not in person then by phone or text. Jim’s family would like to thank the staff from Oncology at Samaritan Hospital in Newport and Corvallis, Ore.; Samaritan Evergreen Hospice. The skilled facilities and faculties’ capable care and comfort assisted him and his family along this treacherous journey. Jim is survived by his wife Patti; his daughters Tracie (Richard) and Tonya ( Jack); sisters Diane (Bill), Helen (Ed); brother bob (Luanne); Claudette (sister in law); eight grandchildren, Kyle, Ryan, Bailey, Jordan, Jacob, Jasmine, Joseph and Katie; great granddaughter Amelia. Jim was preceded in death by his parents, his brother Richard, and his sister Lucille. Per Jim’s request there will not be a memorial service.

and worked in his dad’s surveying business for several years. He also worked at Les Schwab, and most recently at North Lincoln Sanitary. Mitch loved family activities with his stepdaughter Melissa, Lauren and Dani Arnt. Those activities included soap box derby races, swimming team, youth softball and a couple of family trips to Hawaii. Mitch became ill in May. After some short stays in the hospitals in Lincoln City and Corvallis, he was transported to OHSU Hospital in Portland. He was never able to return home to Lincoln City. He relocated to Tualatin to be close to his treatment center and his doctors at OHSU. His cousins Tara McCormack of Tualatin and Tina West of Sherwood and their families greatly helped in his transition to “city living.” He was very weak but enjoyed the experience. In August, Mitch was readmitted to OHSU, and was diagnosed with a new “life threatening,” very rare condition.

Mitch passed on September 12, 2019 with his family by his side. He is survived by his parents Lin and Janet Richie of Otis, sister and family Amanda and Jorma Kyllonen (and son Devin) of Bend, brother Tim and wife Maggie Richie of Lincoln City. Mitch was close to his three daughters and their families; Lauren and Tyler Turner (Hadley two and a half years) of Depoe Bay, Dani Arnt and Jimmy (Wylene six months) of Otis, and Melissa and Andy Rambow (Lucy born 9/9/19) of Boise Idaho. Additional family includes his Aunt Betty Richie of McMinville and Aunt Shirley Strawn of Delta Junction Alaska. Mitch had more cousins in Oregon, Alaska, Washington and California. Being the greatest “dog lover” he was, he leaves behind his dog, Harley. A celebration of life will be held on Saturday October 5, 2019 at 11 a.m. at the Faith Baptist Church in Lincoln City.

erty or if you are not a bona fide residential tenant. If the foreclosure sale goes through, the new owner will have the right to require you to move out. Before the new owner can require you to move, the new owner must provide you with written notice that specifies the date by which you must move out. If you do not leave before the move-out date, the new owner can have the sheriff remove you from the property after a court hearing. You will receive notice of the court hearing. PROTECTION FROM EVICTION IF YOU ARE A BONA FIDE TENANT OCCUPYING AND RENTING THIS PROPERTY AS A RESIDENTIAL DWELLING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE LIVING TN THIS PROPERTY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE FOR: â€˘ 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A FIXED TERM LEASE; OR â€˘ AT LEAST 30 DAYS FROM THE DATE YOU ARE GIVEN A WRITTEN TERMINATION NOTICE, IF YOU HAVE A MONTH-TOMONTH OR WEEK-TOWEEK RENTAL AGREEMENT. If the new owner wants to move in and use this property as a primary residence, the new owner can give you written notice and require you to move out after 30 days, even though you have a fixed term lease with more than 30 days left. You must be provided with at least 30 daysâ€™ written notice after the foreclosure sale before you can be required to move. A bona fide tenant is a residential tenant who is not the borrower (property owner) or a child, spouse or parent of the borrower, and whose rental agreement: â€˘ Is the result of an armâ€™s-length transaction; â€˘ Requires the payment of rent that is not substantially less than fair market rent for the property, unless the rent is reduced or subsidized due to a federal, state or local subsidy; and â€˘ Was entered into prior to the date of the foreclosure sale. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY BETWEEN NOW AND THE FORECLOSURE SALE: RENT YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO PAY RENT TO YOUR LANDLORD UNTIL THE PROPERTY IS SOLD

OR UNTIL A COURT TELLS YOU OTHERWISE. IF YOU DO NOT PAY RENT, YOU CAN BE EVICTED. BE SURE TO KEEP PROOF OF ANY PAYMENTS YOU MAKE. SECURITY DEPOSIT You may apply your security deposit and any rent you paid in advance against the current rent you owe your landlord as provided in ORS 90.367. To do this, you must notify your landlord in writing that you want to subtract the amount of your security deposit or prepaid rent from your rent payment. You may do this only for the rent you owe your current landlord. If you do this, you must do so before the foreclosure sale. The business or individual who buys this property at the foreclosure sale is not responsible to you for any deposit or prepaid rent you paid to your landlord. ABOUT YOUR TENANCY AFTER THE FORECLOSURE SALE The new owner that buys this property at the foreclosure sale may be willing to allow you to stay as a tenant instead of requiring you to move out after 30 or 60 days. After the sale, you should receive a written notice informing you that the sale took place and giving you the new ownerâ€™s name and contact information. You should contact the new owner if you would like to stay. If the new owner accepts rent from you, signs a new residential rental agreement with you or does not notify you in writing within 30 days after the date of the foreclosure sale that you must move out, the new owner becomes your new landlord and must maintain the property. Otherwise: â€˘ You do not owe rent; â€˘ The new owner is not your landlord and is not responsible for maintaining the property on your behalf; and â€˘ You must move out by the date the new owner specifies in a notice to you. The new owner may offer to pay your moving expenses and any other costs or amounts you and the new owner agree on in exchange for your agreement to leave the premises in less than 30 or 60 days. You should speak with a lawyer to fully understand your rights before making any decisions regarding your tenancy. IT IS UNLAWFUL FOR ANY PERSON TO TRY TO

FORCE YOU TO LEAVE YOUR DWELLING UNIT WITHOUT FIRST GIVING YOU WRITTEN NOTICE AND GOING TO COURT TO EVICT YOU. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS, YOU SHOULD CONSULT A LAWYER. If you believe you need legal assistance, contact the Oregon State Bar and ask for the lawyer referral service. Contact information for the Oregon State Bar is included with this notice. If you do not have enough money to pay a lawyer and are otherwise eligible, you may be able to receive legal assistance for free.

EXCEPTING THEREFROM ANY PORTION LYING WITHIN COUNTY ROAD NO. 516. Commonly known as: 429 HIDDEN VALLEY RD, TOLEDO, OR 97391 The undersigned hereby certifies that based upon business records there are no known written assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or by the beneficiary and no appointments of a successor trustee have been made, except as recorded in the records of the county or counties in which the above described real property is situated. Further, no action has been instituted to recover the debt, or any part thereof, now remaining secured by the trust deed, or, if such action has been instituted, such action has been dismissed except as permitted by ORS 86.752(7). Both the ben-

eficiary and the trustee have elected to sell the said real property to satisfy the obligations secured by said trust deed and notice has been recorded pursuant to Section 86.752(3) of Oregon Revised Statutes. There is a default by grantor or other person owing an obligation, performance of which is secured by the trust deed, or by the successor in interest, with respect to provisions therein which authorize sale in the event of such provision. The default for which foreclosure is made is grantorâ€™s failure to pay when due the following sum: TOTAL REQUIRED TO REINSTATE: $9,430.85 TOTAL REQUIRED TO PAYOFF: $282,288.20 Because of interest, late charges, and other charges that may vary from day-to-day, the amount due on the day you pay may be greater. It will be necessary for you to contact the Trustee before the time you tender reinstatement or the payoff amount so that you may be advised of the exact amount you will be required to pay. By reason of the default, the beneficiary has declared all sums owing on the obligation secured by the trust deed immediately due and payable, those sums being the following, to- wit: The installments of principal and interest which became due on 3/1/2019, and all subsequent installments of principal and interest through the date of this Notice, plus amounts that are due for late charges, delinquent property taxes, insurance premiums, advances made on senior liens, taxes and/or insurance, trusteeâ€™s fees, and any attorney fees and court costs arising from or associated with the beneficiaries efforts to protect and preserve its security, all of which must be paid as a condition of reinstatement, including all sums that shall accrue through reinstatement or pay-off. Nothing in this notice shall be construed as a waiver of any fees owing to the Beneficiary under the Deed of Trust pursuant to the terms of the loan documents. Whereof, notice hereby is given that QUALITY LOAN SERVICE CORPORATION OF WASHINGTON, the undersigned trustee will on 12/23/2019 at the hour of 10:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established

Notice is further given that any person named in Section 86.778 of Oregon Revised Statutes has the right to have the foreclosure proceeding dismissed and the trust deed reinstated by payment to the beneficiary of the entire amount then due (other than such portion of said principal as would not then be due had no default occurred), together with the costs, trusteeâ€™s and attorneyâ€™s fees and curing any other default complained of in the Notice of Default by tendering the performance required under the obligation or trust deed, at any time prior to five days before the date last set for sale. Other than as shown of record, neither the beneficiary nor the trustee has any actual notice of any person having or claiming to have any lien upon or interest in the real property hereinabove described subsequent to the interest of the trustee in the trust deed, or of any successor in interest to grantor or of any lessee or other person in possession of or occupying the property, except: Name and Last Known Address and Nature of Right, Lien or Interest DAVID BROOKS 429 HIDDEN VALLEY RD TOLEDO, OR 97391 Original Borrower ROBERTA BROOKS 429 HIDDEN VALLEY RD TOLEDO, OR 97391 Original Borrower For Sale Information Call: 916-939-0772 or Login to: www.nationwideposting.com In construing this notice, the singular includes the plural, the word â€œgrantorâ€? includes any successor in inter-

Yard debris burning now open in Lincoln County The Lincoln County Fire Defense Board, and the nine fire protection agencies are opening burn season Thursday, Sept. 19. With the recent rain and forecasted precipitation, the risk of fire spread has decreased and is expected to remain at a low level. This summer’s weather was not as dry as the previous two summers, according to the Fire Defense Board. This kept fuel moisture levels higher and moderated fire danger throughout the region. The Fire Defense Board thanks the public for adhering to the burn regulations this summer and along with the quick response of all of our Lincoln County firefighters, which helped keep wildfires to a minimum. Many Lincoln County fire agencies require a permit to burn yard debris (also known as open burning). In Lincoln City, permits are required for all outdoor yard

debris burning and can be obtained at the St. Clair Fire Station located at 4520 SE Hwy. 101 in Lincoln City. Burning is prohibited within the City of Lincoln City by a city ordinance. Outdoor yard debris burning outside of the city is limited to burn barrels and small 3’ x 2’ burn piles. For further information call 541-996-2233.

and return the passport to the information booth in exchange for fun prizes. “It’s a great way for us to engage with kids,” said kite flier Ronda Brewer. “The kite flying community is a fun, quirky bunch. We love what we do and sharing our kite flying passion with kids is a real joy.” Brewer, who has attended the festival for many years, loves to watch the smiling faces when her kites take to the skies. “Kids will come up to me and ask how to fly them,” Brewer said. “So, I’ll put the bridle in their hands and say ‘Here, you try it!’ By creat-

ing a fun learning experience, we are able to pass this tradition down to future generations.” The fun continues on the field during the Running of the Bols, which is a footrace across the beach with each participant harnessed to a parachute kite. On both days, kids can pair up with a friend or parent, or race solo to the finish line. Each finisher gets a well-deserved high five and bragging rights.

Lincoln County students recognized for exceptional academic promise MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net A pair of Lincoln County students earned the prestigious title of Commended Student in the 2020 National Merit Scholarship Program. Seniors Ethan Price, from Taft 7-12 School, and Erin Watanabe, from Newport High School, will each be given a Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program. About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2020 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 50,000 scorers of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2020 competition by taking the 2018 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/

Seniors Ethan Price (left), of Taft 7-12 schools, and Erin Watanabe (right), of Newport High School. NMSQT). “Those being named Commended Students have demonstrated outstanding potential for

academic success,” said a spokesperson for NMSC. “These students represent a valuable national resource; recognizing

their accomplishments, as well as the key role their schools play in their academic development, is vital to the advancement

of educational excellence in our nation. “We hope that this recognition will help broaden their educational

opportunities and encourage them as they continue their pursuit of academic success.” Ethan Price, a senior at Taft 7-12 School, is the son of Dave and Niki Price of Lincoln City. He is a member of the debate team, National Honor Society, Key Club and holds a 3.96 cumulative GPA. At Taft he has participated in cross country for four years, swimming for four years and is currently apart of the leadership program. Ethan continues to take advanced AP and Dual credit classes on his way to graduation this year. Erin Watanabe, a senior at Newport High School, is the daughter of Bruce and Tina Watanabe of Newport. She is an International Baccalaureate Diploma Candidate, AVID Tutor and holds a 4.0 cumulative GPA. She is a four-year varsity cheerleader, cheer captain, 2019 OSAA State Cheerleading Champion, and two-time OCCA All-State Team Member. She is involved in Leadership and Junior Optimists Club.

Taft boys stay unbeaten, Tigers give Warrenton a scare girls search for answers MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net The Taft 7-12 boys soccer squad continued their hot start to the season with a pair of easy 4-0 victories over Blanchet Catholic and Yamhill-Carlton. The Tigers were on the road for the first time this season Sept. 18, when they traveled to Salem to play the Cavaliers. Through the first two games, Blanchet Catholic were unable to gain a victory and they were no match for Taft who holds the No. 5 spot in state. The Tiger defense was smothering, not allowing a goal the entirety of the game and on the offensive end, senior captain Edson Fuentes tallied two goals. Juniors William Calderon and Alex Del Valle also added a goal each to help Taft earn a 4-0 win, improving their season record to 3-0. Taft was then back at home to play Yamhill-Carlton on Sept. 19. Defense played a key role once again as Taft kept YC off the board while scoring four goals of their own. On the board first was junior Mauricio Rivas to give Taft the 1-0 lead at intermission. In the second period, Fuentes once again notched a pair of goals and Calderon scored a late one to give the Tigers a 4-0 win. Defensively Taft has been locking down opponents all season, in part thanks to the work of sophomore goalie Sam Cortes, who had seven saves against YC. The boys play on the road tonight (Sept. 25) against league foe Dayton at 7 p.m. before returning home to play Western Christian/Perrydale Friday at 4:15 p.m. Girls Soccer Similar to the boys team, the Lady Tigers started the season strong, winning their first two games. However, they have now dropped four straight games, most recently to Yamhill-Carlton and Dayton. Against YC, Taft lost their starting goalkeeper prior to the game due to an injury, which unfortunately played a role in the outcome. “The score doesn’t reflect how hard Taft played today,” head coach Joey Arce-Torres said. “We felt

Jose Flores we did many good things throughout the match both defensive and offensively.” Junior Veronica Jin scored in her second varsity match after a perfectly placed pass by senior Sammy Halferty. But ultimately, Taft was on the wrong end of a 4-1 score. “We were forced to play an athlete who was not prepared to take on that role,” Arce-Torres said of the goalkeeper. “We and I applaud this individual for the guts to take on that role for her team. We honestly played well enough to win. I feel good about our development.” Against Dayton on Sept.

23, the Tigers found themselves in another league battle in which they faced some adversity. Early in the first half, Taft was called for a handball violation, setting up a Pirate score on the penalty kick. Another violation shortly after resulted in another goal for Dayton, putting Taft in a 2-0 hole. The offense was unable to get any momentum going in the second half, and the Lady Tigers lost the game 2-0. Taft will have some time to sort through the miscues this week as their next game is not until Sept. 30 at Gervais.

Tigers chop down Loggers, climb rankings MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@country media.net Some coaches say a good defense is what will win you football games, and for the Taft 7-12 Tigers, that certainly seems to by ringing true. The Taft defense returned to form last Friday, Sept. 20 by stymieing a prolific Knappa Logger offense who put up over 50 points on the Tigers last season. And after giving up 33 points to Sutherlin last week, Taft came into the game with something to prove. “Once again, our defense came up big… creating multiple turnovers and only giving up one touchdown against a team that last year scored over 50 points on us,” head coach Jake Tolan said. “Even more importantly was that our defense was able to slow Knappa down and get stops while our offense struggled at times moving the ball.” Despite the slow offensive play at times, Taft struck

Not long after, junior quarterback Antonio Suarez connected with senior Jordan Hall on a long passing touchdown to give Taft a 14-0 advantage. The Loggers showed a little life late in the second quarter, connecting on a fade to the corner for a touchdown, bringing the score to 14-6. Despite a long 40-yard pitch and catch from Suarez to senior Trenton Fisher, the score remained the same going into the half. “Our depth was a key tonight,” Tolan said. “This is the first time in four years as the head coach that we have 45 kids in our program and the ability to sub kids

throughout the game and keep fresh legs on the field.” Knappa made several attempts to get back in the game in the second half, but were ultimately turned away each time. Junior Darius Smith hauled in his third interception of the season during the third quarter while Jordan Hall nabbed his second of the year late in the game. The Tiger offense seemed a bit stagnant at times, facing multiple three and outs. However, French came alive in the fourth quarter. A 50-yard run by French in the fourth set up his 7-yard touchdown run and a twopoint conversion made it 22-6. French rattled off another monster run in the final quarter highlighted by multiple broken tackles. Taft was unable to punch in the late game score, but a poor snap by Knappa near

the goal line led to a safety and a 24-6 victory for Taft.

French led the Tiger offense by tallying more than

100 yards rushing on the night with a pair of touchdowns. Although Tolan was happy with the win over a formidable opponent, he still sees room for improvement, especially on offense. “We made many mistakes on offense that we need to clean up and learn from, but got enough big plays to walk away with a win,” Tolan said. Taft now sits at 2-1 this season and holds the No. 15 spot in the 3A OSAA rankings. Their defense will once again be put to the test this Friday (Sept. 27) when they travel to play the red hot Yamhill-Carlton Tigers. Yamhill-Carlton is currently 3-0, ranked No. 5 and has averaged over 45 points per game to start the year. Kickoff Friday is scheduled for 7 p.m.
