I say if we get rid of those tribal concepts we will get better legislation, do more work on problem solving and advocate for the common good.” Republican Senators Chuck Tomsen and Herman Baertschiger attended the morning announcement event to offer their support, as well as Depoe Bay Mayor Robert Gambino and Yachats Mayor John Moore.

One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest honored

MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Sitting between docks one and two in Depoe Bay, the world’s smallest harbor, is a sign honoring the classic Oregon film One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest. The Depoe Bay Chamber unveiled the Oregon Film Trail sign on Dec. 19 despite the rain and wind that has been falling up and down the Oregon Coast. A much drier reception was held at Dockside Charters following the unveiling. The sign marks an important filming location related to the classic feature film and displays a few facts and anecdotes about the film, as well as a reference to other movies shot close by. The Depoe Bay harbor was featured prominently in the film when Jack Nicholson’s character, Randle “Mac” McMurphy, staged an escape from the hospital and led his fellow patients

Oregon senators speak on impeachment CODY MANN headlightnews@countrymedia.net

Oregon’s Democrat senators issued statements following a vote by the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach Republican President Donald Trump for abuse of power and obstructing Congress. The articles of impeachment now go to the U.S. Senate, which will hear arguments and vote on whether or not Trump should be removed from office. The House voted 230-197 to charge Trump with abuse of power and 229-198 to charge him with obstruction of Congress. The votes were largely split along party lines. The impeachment vote marked the end of a three-month Democrat-led investigation of allegations that Trump pressured Ukrainian officials to investigate his political rivals while withholding security assistance and a prestigious White House meeting. Republicans have maintained that the impeachment articles are the results of an ongoing Democrat campaign against Trump since he took office, claiming that Democrats are seeking to overturn Trump’s election using a partisan process. Sen. Ron Wyden said the senate has no weightier responsibility than to judge an impeached president. He said as a juror in the coming proceedings, he intends to look at all of the evidence and vote for a just outcome, not a political

The U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. one. Wyden said a just outcome is only possible if the Senate has access to all of the facts. He called for the chamber to be allowed to call all necessary witnesses and subpoena all necessary documents to get the fullest possible picture of the events for which the president was impeached. “In my view, no member can uphold their oath of office without calling for a full airing of the facts at hand,” Wyden said. “I urge all of my colleagues to think carefully about how history would judge a sham process designed by the

person standing trial.” Sen. Jeff Merkley said the founders created the process of impeachment because they were deeply concerned about two significant dangers: first, foreign influence that might corrupt American democracy; and second, abuse of power by a president tempted to use his powers to become more like a king. “For these two reasons, the founders placed in the hands of Congress the means to act as a check on a corrupt president: Impeachment in the House, followed by a trial in the Senate,” Merkley

said. “Today, the House fulfilled its constitutional responsibility.” Merkley said the House has laid out a clear set of facts that should be alarming to anyone who cares about the integrity of our elections or the rule of law. He called it a “compelling case” that the president solicited foreign interference in the 2020 election, that he conditioned official actions on this interference, and that he used the power of the office to advance his own interest instead of the public interest. “We owe the nation facts, fairness, and integrity – not a

cover-up,” Merkley said. “I am profoundly disturbed that the Majority Leader has already said that rather than conduct a fair trial, he is working alongside the White House to enact a party-wide cover-up. It is stunning that he is refusing to call witnesses because they would have evidence about the president’s misconduct.” Merkley said at the start of the trial the senator will swear an oath to do impartial justice according to the Constitution and laws. He said the oath is not to a party or a president. He added that there would be lasting damage to democracy if Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blocks the conducting of a fair trial. “I hope that, over the coming holiday, all senators will ponder their grave responsibility to rise to the occasion, and to bring our nation the facts, fairness, and integrity America deserves,” Merkley said. State Rep. Kurt Schrader (Fifth District) also issued a statement after Trump was impeached. He said after reading a transcript of Trump’s July 25 conversation with the Ukrainian president, and after listening to concerns from career and political appointees of the administration, he voted in favor of impeachment. “These actions are illegal and pose serious risk to our democratic form of government,” Schrader said.

It’s that time of year again on the Oregon Coast: the cold and wet season. With it brings the added need for weather appropriate clothing and luckily kids at the Lincoln City schools will be warm and dry thanks to a hefty coat donation from the Lincoln City Knights of Columbus. The Knights of Columbus are a global Catholic fraternal service organization committed to helping those in need. In Lincoln City, Grand Knight David McKee said he’s always on the lookout for different ways the Knights can get involved in the community. “This is our first year donating the coats and we will continue to do it going forward,” McKee said. “This is a national program through the Knights. We get them from Connecticut and deliver them to the schools.” In total, the Knights delivered four boxes of brand new coats that were given to 48 kids at Taft 7-12, Taft Elementary and Oceanlake Elementary. “We wanted to help out the kids by keeping them warm and dry and these should do the trick,” McKee said. Oceanlake Principal, Sandy Mummey, was very

Christmas on the Oregon Coast The giving and the spirit of our small coastal towns still overwhelms me. It’s not the buildings getting the colorful lights with all the trimmings. As each year passes my heart warms, feeling closer to my friends, and my family here on the coast, for good reason. It’s the giving I’ve observed year after year. Sadly, the need has grown, not just here but throughout the country. Yet Lincoln County pulls off a holiday miracle each year! It’s amazing to see all the gifts for the children our community donates, and the many volunteers that will be wrapping them, so that a child can unwrap a toy on Christmas morning, and the huge gathering of food so every family can enjoy a holiday meal. There is nothing more delightful than seeing

a family receive gifts, children’s eyes wide open with amazement and a mother’s eyes perhaps a little tearful with gratitude. So many memories have been made on the Oregon Coast for my family, Lighted Boat Regatta in Yaquina Bay, the Lighting of the Annual Christmas Tree and the Angels Ball. And there where some special holidays over the decades and wanted mention a few you might have forgotten that touched individuals far from our coast. There was the Christmas our community sent hundreds of Rotary Wreathes to Firehouses throughout New York City in 2001, after 9/11 and how one of these wreathes reached a FDNY Engine Company that formed a lasting relationship between Engine Company 55 and our community.

Then there was the Christmas of 2005, when our residents purchased toys, food, blankets and a truck load of fresh cut Oregon Christmas trees to be driven to the devastated city of Waveland, Mississippi, “ground zero” for Hurricane Katrina. The people of Waveland said they had Christmas that year thanks to folks in Oregon. I can go on and on about the generosity I’ve seen, the clothes, food, sleeping bags and kindness given to the unsheltered living in our county, the school children’s Backpack program providing nutrition and hope, or dozens of churches and people who provide much needed shelter during the cold winter months. We see only a fraction of what goes on here during the holidays and all year round. There are hundreds of people in

this community who each year dig deep and give to those who are less fortunate. It’s the true meaning of the holidays. So, thanks to everyone that tosses a few coins in the Salvation Army bucket, drops a new toy into a toy collection box, brings a warm meal to an elderly person, or just sincerely greets another person with a “Happy Chanukah”, “Joyful Kwanza” or “Merry Christmas”. Season Greetings and make great memories. Jim & Diane Kusz (and our dog “Nick” whose full name is “Saint Nicholas”), Lincoln City

Community Rights Must Overturn this Toxic Dystopia It began in the early 1970’s, with a series of very serious disease outbreaks, including cancer, multiple birth defects, and countless miscarriages, stemming from a witch’s brew of known and unknown herbicides in Lane County drinking water. By 2015, residents crafted a citizen initiative to ban the timber industry’s practice of spraying toxic chemicals on the county’s many clearcut forests. The Freedom from Aerial Herbicide Alliance (FAHA) drew upon a legal legacy embedded in the state constitution in 1902. That was a time, says Michelle Holman of Community Rights Lane County, “when the people were being ignored by government… We aren’t the first people to face unresponsive elected officials captured by the bidding of big business.”

The citizen initiative process they relied upon is a tool of direct democracy, known nationally as “the Oregon System.” While the alliance completed their focused antispraying bill, another organization, Our Community Our Rights, created a more general initiative, “The Right to Local, Community Self-Government,” which legalizes the right to pass laws that protect health, safety, and welfare, such as the spray ban. Self-governance establishes rights for individuals, their communities, and Nature itself. It secures those rights by whatever means deemed fit by residents, who are directly impacted by harmful corporate projects, including banning specific activities. It limits the rights claimed by corporations whenever they interfere with these established rights. It goes on to provide that

these local laws may not be nullified by state, federal, or international laws promoting corporate “rights” and privileges. The two groups collected thirty thousand signatures to qualify these initiatives for the ballot, but Big Timber sued to block them, in cases still languishing in the Oregon State Court of Appeals. Rather than just wait for the court outcome, which can take years, FAHA has asked the Lane County Commissioners to refer the measures to the voters. Holman continues, “We are not asking the commissioners to support the initiatives. We are demanding that the democratic principles that protect the peoples’ right to the Oregon System be upheld, but the Lane County commissioners lack the courage to stand with the people who elected them, choos-

ing to hide behind unjust law that serves corporate interests... and the courts have also consistently subverted democracy by ruling in favor of corporate interests.” What does this have to do with Lincoln County? We have the same issues, including the passage of our own spray ban in 2017, overturned by the state’s pre-emption doctrine. Lincoln County Community Rights has provided sustained advocacy on this crisis, but most people on the Oregon Coast are gravely overdue for paying attention to the threats to their own welfare. How many more must sicken and die before we overturn the toxic dystopia we’ve inherited? Mitchell Gould, Lincoln City

Representative Gomberg files for re-election State Representative David Gomberg has filed for re-election for the 10th House District ranging from Tillamook to Yachats and inland to Sheridan. State Senator Arnie Roblan and south-central coast Representative Caddy McKeown recently announced their retirement from the Oregon legislature. “I was honored by the many calls I received urging me to run for the Senate,” Gomberg said. “But my only ambition is to well serve the cares and concerns of the good people of the 10th district along the central coast

David Gomberg and coastal range. I will continue to use my experience and House seniority in their interest.” Gomberg currently

serves as vice co-chair of the budget writing Ways and Means Committee and cochair of the subcommittee on Transportation and Economic Development. During the 2019 legislative session, over $18 million were allocated to local projects including the Oregon Coast Aquarium, Newport dams, the Lincoln City Cultural Center, emergency egress for Neskowin, the Pacific City Airport, and Tillamook Youth Correctional Facility. The “TED” subcommittee has doubled funding for veteran’s programs, added $400 million for affordable

housing, and increased support for Small Business Development Centers. As a result, Gomberg was named a “Champion” by the Oregon Housing Alliance and a “Small Business Ally” by the Main Street Alliance. The Oregon State Council for Retired Citizens named Gomberg “one of the best champions of seniors in the Oregon Legislature”. Representative Gomberg also serves on the Governor’s Commission for Senior Services, the Oregon Seismic Safety Policy Advisory Commission (OSSPAC), and the Ocean Science Trust.

David and Susan Gomberg are also small business owners. Together they manage Gomberg Kite Productions, which offers professional kite shows and kites and windsocks to wholesale accounts and online. They have performed in over 40 countries and provided programs to Walt Disney, motion pictures, and the Super Bowl. In 2008 they opened three Northwest Winds stores. In 2013, they sold these retail stores to focus on legislative commitments.

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 6/1/2019, 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, trustee’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 3/12/2020 at the hour of 10:00 AM, Standard of Time, as established by section 187.110, Oregon Revised Statues, At the south entrance to the Lincoln County Courthouse, located at 225 W Olive Street, Newport, OR 97365 County of LINCOLN, State of Oregon, sell at public auction to the highest bidder for cash the interest in the said described real property which the grantor had or had power to convey at the time of the execution by him of the said trust deed, together with any interest which the grantor or his successors in interest acquired after the execution of said trust deed, to satisfy the fore-

going obligations thereby secured and the costs and expenses of sale, including a reasonable charge by the trustee. 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, trustee’s and attorney’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.

CHANCE celebrates new location After merging with the Lincoln City Warming Shelter and securing a new location, Communities Helping Addicts Negotiate Change Effectively (CHANCE) was able to finally cut the ribbon to celebrate their residence on Dec. 20. CHANCE executive Director Jeff Blackford said the new location relatively near Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital was something they have been striving for, for five years. “We understand the correlation with the medical industry and the addiction, mental illness and homelessness services that are needed in our communities and we want to be able to provide those services to Lincoln City and to all of Lincoln County,” Blackford said.

Tip of the Week: New Year’s Eve Safety LINCOLN COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Among all the fun and noise of a New Year’s Eve celebration, it’s important to ensure that the festivities are safe and that there are people in attendance who are designated to stay sober and ensure safety. Laws do not ensure that nothing bad ever happens; it’s people making the right the choices. If you are hosting a party, there are safety measures that you can implement to help keep people safe and reduce liability on the big night. Here are some ideas: - Use common sense to include not driving after

drinking. - Designate a non-drinking driver before the party. - Utilize public transportation where available. - Spend the night at the party location. - If you are hosting the party, ensure that non-alcoholic drinks are also served. - Have the courage to refuse a friend a drink if he/she is finding it difficult to keep their behavior in check. - Consider the safety and welfare of your pets. Loud music and people, fireworks, and strangers can result in unnecessary distress for your pets. - Ensure that your pet(s)

has ID tags with current information on them and that they are safely secured before the party. - Candles, kids, and pets don’t mix. Keep them away

from each other. The responsibility and much of the liability of a safe party remains with the host. The host should know a few things about the liquor

that is being served. For instance, beer and wine are just as intoxicating as distilled spirits. A 12-ounce can of beer, a five-ounce glass of wine, a 12-ounce wine cooler, and an ounce and a half of liquor contain nearly the same amount of alcohol. Mixers won’t help dilute alcohol; they just make alcohol tastier. In fact, scientific research reveals that alcoholic drinks using artificial sweeteners lead to a higher rate of alcohol absorption resulting in a greater blood alcohol concentration than from drinks made with sugarbased mixers. Carbonated mixers

like club soda or tonic water cause alcohol to be absorbed into a person’s system more quickly. Fruit juice and other sweet mixers mask the taste of alcohol and may cause people to drink more. And lastly, there is a tendency to rely on someone’s physical appearance to determine his/her state of intoxication. If someone you know is acting out of character, they may well be intoxicated.

Riani has been in the restaurant business since the age of 16 getting her start in the Chicagoland area with other stops in Colorado and Illinois. Now at the Culinary Center, her position has allowed her to combine her two loves… food and teaching. It is Riani’s mission to educate visitors about where their food comes from and how it is raised and prepared. Riani’s goal with every class is being able to teach someone a new technique or recipe and have them say “I can do that.” That is her definition of success.

attempted to flush the methamphetamine,” Detective Abby Dorsey said in a report. “Subsequently, law enforcement located approximately 13 ounces of methamphetamine, packaging material and scales in the residence.” Local law enforcement also found an undisclosed quantity of heroin and various narcotics related paraphernalia at the location. Tatum and Williams were both taken into custody and transported to the Lincoln County Jail. Tatum was lodged under charges of Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Heroin, Tampering with Evidence and Resisting Arrest with a total bail of $380,000. His counterpart Williams was lodged on charges of Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Delivery of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Manufacture of Methamphetamine, Unlawful Possession of Heroin, in addition to three outstanding warrants with a total bail of $410,000.

“I really appreciate Dick stepping up,” Baertschiger said. “We always try to find a candidate that represents a district in its entirety, not just the republicans. Salem is out of balance. It’s the most frustrating thing because it’s so polarized that it’s hard to get anything done. “When we find a candidate like Dick who is very balanced, he will help us in Salem.” Tomsen mentioned that he will personally be helping Anderson if elected, given the similarities between both of their districts. Anderson’s long list of supporting coastal citizens is varied. He is currently Mayor of the City of Lincoln City and has previously been Mayor and a City Councilor. He has been elected twice to the North Lincoln County Health District, serves on the Executive Committee of the Oregon Coastal Zone Management Association, sits on two separate ODOT/Area Commissions on Transportation groups and participates with the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz on several advisory boards. “In spite of the strong economic forecast recently released to the Legislature, not all of Oregon is enjoying the gains,” Anderson said. “The Oregon Coast remains challenged by and lagging in economic growth. The Coast needs an advocate that recognizes the differences in Oregon and is willing to fight in the Legislature on the Coast citizens’ behalf”. Anderson said he hopes to bring balance to the Senate Chamber that would bring better legislation for the citizens of the Oregon Coast as well as for the entire State of Oregon. Anderson can be reached at 541-996-8482 and has a Facebook page at Dick Anderson for Oregon.

said. “We’re looking forward to additional efforts to commemorate other filming in our community.” Dating back to 1909, Oregon has a rich and interesting film history with over 450 feature films and television shows that have utilized thousands of locations around the state for a wide variety of production backdrops. Oregon continues to be a destination for creative media producers from around the world. Movies such as Twilight, Point Break, The Goonies, Kindergarten Cop, Sometimes a Great Notion, Free Willy and Short Circuit, etc., are just a few films shot along the coast and several Oregon Film Trail signs can be seen at Gleneden Beach, Ecola State Park (2 locations), Astoria and Hammond Marina in Warrenton. “We continue to be amazed by the response this program is having,” said Tim Williams, Executive Director of Oregon Film. “We get new suggestions every week and we keep adding them to our fast-growing list.

has so many iconic locations that this Film Trail will continue to grow.” Phase two of the Oregon Film Trail is in the research and initial development phase and aims to encompass a Trail map and a digital experience which the many Oregon Film Trail partners will be able to utilize for their own promotions as well as to entertain and educate visitors and Oregonians alike. Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce and the Oregon Film Office developed the initial Oregon Film Trail concept and identified the Astoria movie locations as the first signs to be rolled out on the trail earlier this year with help from the Oregon Film Museum. Additionally, Oregon State Parks partnered with the Oregon Made Creative Foundation to install a sign at Gleneden Beach State Recreation Site. Three subsequent signs in Brownsville were also unveiled with partners; the City of Brownsville, the Linn County Historical Museum,

Lincoln County medical residency program receives greenlight SAMARITAN HEALTH SERVICES

To encourage more family medicine doctors to start their medical practices in Lincoln County, Samaritan Health Services is developing a local family medicine residency program. This program will give young physicians the opportunity to train in the two Lincoln County hospitals, helping them gain a deeper understanding of rural medicine which will enable them to stay and maintain long-term, successful practices. While still a few years away from bringing the first trainee to the coast, the program took a significant leap forward earlier this year with the boost of two grants totaling $1.2 million — enough to move full-steam ahead in developing the program. “We are thrilled that this

program is on its way,” said Lesley Ogden, MD, chief executive officer of Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital and Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. “We feel the program will allow us to grow our own physicians within the county – people who, after their third year in the residency program, will know our communities and want to build their practices locally.” The Family Medicine Residency Program Rural Training Track, which will be based at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, will be an accredited, stand-alone program with ties to Samaritan’s Family Medicine residency program in Corvallis. “The training program at the coast will offer a different model of family medicine training than the model we use in the valley,” said Marcus Alderman, director of Samaritan’s Academic Affairs.

“Residents will spend their first year at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis to work with higher acuity patients, and then will spend their second and third years based at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport, with training throughout Lincoln County.” A residency program is a post-graduate program for physicians that is required to obtain an unrestricted license to practice medicine. Because they are still in training, residents work alongside an attending physician, seeing patients in a variety of settings. Once they graduate, they may affiliate

with the hospital where they trained or choose to go elsewhere. “Of course, it is our goal to keep graduates within our Samaritan system. That was part of the initial vision when establishing residency training programs,” said Alderman. Since 2011, Samaritan has successfully retained 40 residents to practice medicine in their specific medical specialty, 13 of those in family medicine. Of all the graduates in family medicine, more than 70 percent have decided to stay in Oregon. “We feel this new model of training, specifically geared to rural medicine in a coastal setting, will help us address the shortage of physicians at the coast,” said Alderman. With grant monies from the Oregon Health Authority and the Health Resources & Services Administration now available, next steps now in progress include getting

accreditation and hiring a program director. The goal is to accept the first class of trainees in 2022. This project was funded by the Healthy Oregon Workforce Training Opportunity Grant Program, which is administered under the direction of the Oregon Health Policy Board in partnership with the Oregon Health Authority and OHSU. For more information, visit ohsu.edu/ howto. This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as part of an award totaling $749,999 with 0% financed with nongovernmental sources.

OCCC student wins NASA grant to study micrometeorites OREGON COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE

Haley Dean, a student at Oregon Coast Community College, recently received some very big, very small news. Dean’s big idea was to apply for a NASA grant to help fund her search for tiny extraterrestrials – micrometeorites. In November, she submitted a project for consideration by the Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium’s SCORE Program. The SCORE (STEM CommunityCollege Opportunity for Research Experience) Program offers $800 grant awards to community college students conducting research that aligns with NASA’s varied interests. More than 4,000 tons of micrometerorites fall toward the earth each year. A fraction of them make it to the surface. The OCCC student’s attempt is not the first in Oregon. Her project overview cites a Portland study searching for micrometeorites on rooftops – a search that was unsuccessful. Instead, Dean intends to look to the churning sands of the beaches of the Oregon Coast in winter to find micrometeorites. In addition to sifting sand with sieves or by hand, she will use powerful magnets to seek her quarry. Meteorites are mostly metallic and magnets will help collect them – along with other small particles that may be volcanic or indus-

trial (man-made) in origin. Those will be sorted by size to help identify potential micrometeorites, which will then be examined using Oregon State University’s high-powered electron microscope. Assisting Dean in the study will be her mentor, Bill Lilley, who teaches in the sciences at OCCC. Matthew Fisher, science faculty at OCCC and the College’s Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium Represented, signed off on the proposal, which Haley has dubbed “Project Stardust: The Search for Micrometeorites in the Oregon Coastal Environments.” Dean says she’s inspired by the project – and that the project, in turn, was inspired by a chance enrollment in Lilley’s course, “Environmental Science: A Geologic Perspective.” She was having a meeting with her academic advisor at OCCC when they both noticed her schedule had room for a course in the science sequence. On their recommendation, she enrolled in Environmental Science. “That class changed my life,” Dean said. “I’ve changed my entire career path – now that I know you can run and play and dig and do important work. How many people get to go deal with intense and grand concepts like climate change, and really make an impact?” The name “Project Stardust” is borrowed from Jon Larsen, a genuine citizen scientist. As reported in the

June 2017 edition of Wired magazine, the idea for the project and the book Larsen wrote on the topic literally fell into his lap. “The Norwegian jazz musician was dining on his porch one day eight years ago,” the article begins, “when a rock tumbled out of the sky onto the table. It was shiny, rough, and metallic. Baffled, he did what anyone would do: He googled shiny rocks that fall from the sky.” He went on to collect more than 40,000 samples of possible micro-meteorites, winding up with a collection of more than 500 confirmed specimens. Larsen’s book, “In Search of Stardust: Amazing MicroMeteorites and Their Terrestrial Imposters” is one of the references cited in Haley’s project summary. She says that any micrometeorites discovered during her research will be “retained by Oregon Coast Community College. After the research, these will be offered to NASA, Oregon State University, Oregon State Geology Department, and the Smithsonian Institute.” Her project summary also notes that this research is “crucial to establishing evidence of micrometeorites in Oregon coastal environments and providing the opportunity for a woman on a STEM career path invaluable research experience.” The Oregon NASA Space Grant Consortium requires that Dean submit a report on her findings no later than May 22, 2020.

Youth cheer team finds success in first year of competition MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Jumping, stunting and tumbling to the beat, the future of cheerleading in Lincoln City is looking bright thanks to the Lincoln City Youth Cheerleading Team. In the Cheer Program’s second year, coaches Tonia Anderson and Alicia Hernandez have two teams made up of 17 young and motivated athletes who are competing in cheer competitions throughout Oregon. “We start our season in April,” Anderson said. “We condition, learn the basics of cheerleading (arm motions and jumps). From there we start working on more advanced techniques such as tumbling and stunt building.” Tryouts for the team are held in July and the first competition happens in December. Those that make the competitive team will either attend a home camp or they will go away to camp. “(At camp) they will continue to bond as a team and work on building their skills that they will use during the competitive season,” Anderson said. “The competitive season ends the end of February at the OCCA Championships.” The Lincoln City group is currently split into two teams: the Mini Team (2nd grade and under) and the Junior Team (8th grade and under). Anderson said they hope to soon add a ‘Youth Team,’ which are teams that have members who are in the 5th grade and under. Earlier this month, the LC Youth Cheer Team had its first taste of competition this season at the McMinnville Invitational Dec. 7, which the Mini Team placed first and the Junior Team

In their first two competitions, the Mini Team (front row) placed first in both and the Junior Team (back row) placed first and fourth. also placed first. A week later, the teams were competing at the Sweet Home Cheer Classic Dec. 14. The Mini Team once again came away with a first place finish, while the Juniors placed fourth. “They push each practice to make changes based off the judges notes and to become better than that competition before… perfecting moves, tightening motions and working on hitting tight stunts,” Anderson said. “I have never seen two teams more dedicated to wanting to leave it all on the mat then these two teams. Win or lose they are winners to coach Hernandez and myself before they even compete.”

During competition, each team performs a twoand-a-half-minute routine with music that includes stunts, jumps and tumbling. Their routine is judged by a panel of cheerleading experts on difficulty and execution. The LC Youth Competition Team is not a schoolbased program. They are a non-profit program where youth in the community can try out for the team. Anderson said the goal in starting the Cheer Team was to get young girls involved in cheer early and to hopefully teach them valuable life skills as they grow. “We participate in activities in our community, such as Stuff a Bus and Com-

munity Days Canned Food Drive,” Anderson noted. “Cheerleaders often excel at things outside of the world of cheerleading, like school, jobs, other sports, clubs and hobbies. This is because cheerleading instills a strong work ethic.” For the team, their strong work ethic was rewarded by the community, which included a $4,955 contribution from the Siletz Tribe this season to be able to purchase competition size cheerleading mats as well as support from Oceanlake Christian Church, which has provided a safe practice location four days a week for the team. “It has become a cheer home to the youth, and we

are very grateful for community members such as this,” Anderson said. In addition to the community organizations’ support, Anderson said the team has gathered a great following of fans who have showed up in bunches at their first couple of competitions. “We have so many ‘fans’ that support these young athletes at competitions when they are cheering in front of 100’s of people,” Anderson said. “It takes a lot of support and if we as coaches can teach them to take care of your community and they will take care of you it will be something great that we have done. We have taught them to be

leaders.” The remaining 2020 schedule outline includes: Viking Challenge – Forest Grove High School – Jan. 4 Orange and Black Cheer Challenge – Roseburg High School – Juniors Only – Jan. 11 Redhawk Rumble – Crescent Valley High School – Jan. 18 Welcome to the Jungle Lion Cheer Challenge – West Linn High School – Feb. 1 OE Classic – Salem Pavilion – Feb. 8 OCCA Cheerleading Championships – Salem Pavilion – Feb. 23
