Taft music students make history

hree local high school students are making history. Taft sophomore Kaylon Junder plays the clarinet, Taft senior Dylan Rodriguez plays the trombone and senior Ryan Riggs plays the flute in the school band. “The three music students have been accepted into the Oregon Music Educators Association All-State ensemble this year,” Taft 7-12 Band and Choir Teacher Collin Stegner said. “To my knowledge there has never been a student who has been accepted into this ensemble in Taft’s history.” Stegner said the honor is significant. “All-State is a way for the music program to be recognized by individual students on a huge stage,” he said. “It also allows students to have an experience performing with some of the best band students in the state.” Stegner said opportunity for the three Taft 7-12 students to perform with the AllState ensemble underscores the importance of music in their lives. “Benefits of this experience include experiencing music at a very high level with some of the most amazing music educators in the country,” Stegner said. “It will also teach them what it is like to be a professional musician where you have very limited time to perform an amazing performance. In regard to life lessons, it teaches them how to have more self-discipline and that hard work can give you unforgettable experiences in life.” The music conference and All-State Concert will be conducted from January 13 through 16 in Eugene.

Clearing up the booster shot confusion STAFF REPORT
T
he Oregon Health Authority has announced approval and guidance for Moderna and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 booster vaccinations, in addition to the previously announced booster approval for the Pfizer vaccine. These vaccines are now also authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Under these recommendations the following groups qualify for booster doses of the Moderna and Pfizer vaccine at least six months after their second shot: • People 65 years and older and residents in long-term care settings should receive a booster. • People ages 50 to 64 years with underlying medical conditions should receive a booster. • People ages 18 to 49 years with underlying medical conditions may receive a booster. • People ages 18 to 64 years who are at increased risk for COVID-19 exposure and transmission because of an occupational or institutional setting that puts them at higher risk may receive a booster (this includes health care workers and teachers, for example). A booster dose for Johnson & Johnson is recommended for everyone who received the vaccine, at least two months after the first dose. National and state health agencies have also authorized “mixing and matching” of the three vaccine brands for boosters, meaning a person may get a booster dose of a different vaccine than they originally received.

ollowing a pause for the project several months ago due to the COVID-19 pandemic, work resumed this past spring and is continuing this fall in earnest for the Pelican Brewing Company’s Lincoln
City location on Siletz Bay just off Highway 101. Pelican Brewing Company CEO and part owner Jim Prinzing said his company was preparing to kick off the project in earnest in the fall of 2019. “Our original plan was to begin construction then and open in 2021, of course
the pandemic got in the way and that changed our plans,” he said. “We mothballed the project as soon as the pandemic hit. We pushed the pause button and paused the project completely just to evaluate where everything was going and what was happening.” As the pandemic eased,
Prinzing said the company moved the project back on track and work is proceeding in earnest. “Things are truckin’ right along,” he said. “All of the site work has been completed, the foundation poured, building supports are in

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown issued the following statement Tuesday afternoon, Oct. 26, after receiving her COVID-19 booster shot and flu vaccine at Salem Health’s Edgewater Clinic. “I am extremely grateful for the protection the Johnson & Johnson vaccine has given me. All three of the vaccines are safe, and incredibly effective at protecting against hospitalization and death. And now, I am grateful to have received extra protection against both COVID-19 and the flu with the Moderna booster shot and the flu shot. “Many Oregonians are now eligible for a booster — I encourage you to have conversations with your health care provider, like I have with my doctor, Dr. Yates, to learn more about the extra protection a booster can offer

place, framing began about two months ago, and the last part of the roof is being installed.” Interior work is expected to begin in early November for the approximately 14,000 square foot building. Prinzing declined to give specific details about the dollar value of the project. He did estimate that 20 or so people are working at the project at any given time.
The vision
The vision for the Pelican Pub comes from the surrounding are. “We were inspired by that site,” Prinzing said. “Just the beautiful views and it is unique from our other Pelican locations.” Prinzing said as Pelican
adds new locations, the company wants them to be different from the other locations so there is a reason to go to each one. “So, that’s how this site spoke to us with the views and the interplay between the bay and where the tide really goes out, there’s clamming and there’s all kinds of birds. The inspiration for the site was ‘how do we build something that is really complimentary to the spectacular scenery, really works with the heritage of Culter City, and brings in elements of the more modern-type design that has been prevalent in that area.” Prinzing said in scouting a new location, his company does what he called “place-
making.” “There is a gap at that site between the Taft District and before you get to Salishan,” he said. “We were really drawn to the site because it is a little bit away from everything else and it close enough to Newport and to Depoe Bay but it is also close to Lincoln City and it is far enough away from our location in Pacific City. It is also close to destination sites.”
The design
Prinzing describes the new business as a fullservice restaurant and brew pub with a twist. “We are actually bringing down our original brew house equipment that was started the Pacific City
location,” he said. “To bring some of the heritage. It will produce tons of small batches of beer that will be served in all of our brew pubs, but especially in our Siletz Bay location.” The Lincoln City Pelican will include a lobby with a bar to allow customers beverages while they wait for a table and retail space will be adjacent to the lobby. The restaurant will include a main dining room with an island-style bar, a secondfloor mezzanine with a bar, and two private dining rooms that can be closed off for private events, such as weddings. “We are really looking forward in having dedicated event spacing and that it

will be more space for community use,” he said. “We think of ourselves as a destination brand,” Prinzing said. “This is really about the memories, about the beach. We love sharing our beach communities with others and have them love them as we do. We are a brewery; however these are super-friendly family locations. We want people to created great beach memories. It is really about getting together with friends and family.” Prinzing complimented the City of Lincoln City as the company and the city work on a tsunami evacuation route and possible employee housing on adjacent property at the Lincoln City site. “Housing could be one of the uses for that property, or it may be parking, or it may need to be something else,” he said. Pelican Lincoln City will also sport a large deck with an adjacent broadwalk. “The boardwalk that wraps that deck will eventually connect with the Taft District, so we are working with the city with plans to connect those tow so that you will be able to walk clean around the bay on broadwalk. So that will be really cool.” Prinzing said the Pelican in Lincoln City will also feature an indoor-outdoor place that will include a crab boiling site and crab tank.
Community connection
HEALTH INSURANCE for Individuals and Families
Prinzing added his company also plans to connect
with nonprofits, schools and other community groups through in-kind donations, volunteer hours and monetary donations. “We know it takes a village so that is really important to us,” he said. “These communities are small, and our list is long in how we like to participate. Our primary focus is around kid’s education.” Pelican has three locations along the Oregon Coast employing approximately 300 people. The Pacific City brew pub, a brew pub in Cannon Beach, and a production brewery and tap room in Tillamook. Pelican also operates lodging establishments along the north Oregon Coast. About 100 people are employed at those establishments. Opening of the Lincoln City Pelican Brewing Company is anticipated for spring of 2022. “As we have grown over the years and recognizing the size of our communities, a company like ours that still thinks small, still thinks family-minded, there is just such an opportunity to improve quality of life, improve the diversity.” Prinzing said. “Our company is in a really good position to do a lot of those things and preserve an amazing heritage of our places and taking care of our beaches.” The Pelican Brewing Company was founded in 1996 in Pacific City.

If you still have questions about getting vaccinated, call your doctor or health care provider today to get your questions answered.” “And, when you get your COVID-19 vaccine, it’s quick and easy to get your flu shot, too. You can help prevent the flu from spreading in your community, and help our doctors, nurses, and health care workers to preserve resources to treat COVID-19 patients.” “The COVID-19 booster is safe and effective in prolonging protection against severe illness. The vaccine remains our only path out of the pandemic and my colleagues and I encourage everyone to get the booster when eligible,” Salem Health Hospitals
and Clinics Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ralph Yates said. “Flu vaccines are another important way to protect one another, especially as we head into the winter months. An increase in flu cases is anticipated this year, but flu shots can help. Flu shots can be given at the same time as the booster.” Most pharmacies and medical clinics are offering the booster shots free of charge to those who qualify.

Emergency SNAP benefits to increase STAFF REPORT
Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will receive emergency allotments in November. The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. In November, approximately 398,400 SNAP households will receive approximately $63 million in extra food benefits in addition to their regular SNAP benefits. “We are grateful to have the opportunity to provide emergency benefits to most SNAP households in Oregon,” said Dan Haun,
director of the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), Self-Sufficiency Program. “We also know that many Oregonians are still struggling to meet their basic needs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and we encourage them to contact our partners at 211 and the Oregon Food Bank for support during this difficult time.” Emergency allotments will be available on Nov. 11 for current SNAP households. New SNAP households will receive the emergency allotments Nov. 30 or Dec. 2. SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to receive these supplemental benefits as they will be issued directly on their EBT cards. More information about emergency allotments is
available at https://www. oregon.gov/dhs/ASSISTANCE/FOOD-BENEFITS/ Pages/About-SNAP.aspx. Questions about your SNAP benefits should be directed to the ONE Customer Service Center at 1-800-6999075. If you are a SNAP household and your income or the number of people in your household has changed, it could impact your benefits. It is important to make sure ODHS has the most up-todate information. You can report any changes to your income or household in many ways: • Online at: ONE.Oregon.gov • By mail at: ONE Customer Service Center, PO Box 14015, Salem, OR 97309 • By fax at: 503-378-5628 • By phone at: 1-800-

Short Term Rentals feed my family.
Join the conversation. Speak up against the ban on Short Term Rentals. The measure is sweeping and dangerous. If passed, it takes away the rights of legally licensed, law-abiding property owners. If we lose Short Term Rentals, we lose year-round guests whose local spending helps us have stores, restaurants, bars, and services that we all enjoy. If these crucial resources disappear from the County’s budget, they will need to raise the funds elsewhere. Either by increasing taxes or cutting services. Learn more at: www.viaoregon.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Dear Fellow Residents
I have lived for the past eight years in this lovely community and have never regretted our move from New York State. This city has a small-town feeling, due in large part to the fact that people who live here really care about their community. For many of us, it is the place where we live, work and play, year round. We recognize and appreciate that this area is also a very attractive vacation destination. There are beautiful vistas, recreation areas, a great variety of excellent restaurants and hotels for all of us to enjoy. What won’t improve our neighborhoods is an increase of short-term rentals in the unincorporated areas of Lincoln County. The cities of Lincoln County have already addressed this concern by passing laws restricting the increase of short-term rental properties. Now is the time for all the residents of Lincoln County to support the residents of the unincorporated portions of our county, so that their neighborhoods can remain as neighborhoods and not become mini hotel enclaves whose temporary visitors care little about the long-term impact of their visit. Please read your voter pamphlet carefully when it arrives and vote Yes on Measure 21-203! Georgia Roelof Lincoln City
Vote no on ballot measure 21–203
This ballot measure is nothing short of elder abuse! The proponents would have you believe you’re saving the community but in actuality you’re voting away your property rights at the time that most retired Lincoln County residents will need them most. Jobs and county funding are at stake, but the real issue buried among the arguments is that Lincoln County senior citizens are facing end of life decisions for their loved ones and will no longer have the option of shortterm rental to pay nursing home or medical expenses. Think about this… Most people want to keep their beautiful beach community homes in their families. Voting yes on this ballot measure will take away your right to utilize your property to help offset costs. You would have to sell if you came up short of cash for medical and nursing home costs. Long-term care insurance is expensive and Lincoln County residents most likely do not have this. Please don’t vote way your property rights at this crucial time in your lives. This ballot measure will not help the community with housing issues as the opponents claim. It would just make STR owners leave their homes seasonally empty… Because you can’t lease it out long-term if you want to still use your own property. Please don’t be fooled by the proponent’s untrue claims. Vote no! Sincerely, Kelly Gresh South Beach
GUEST COLUMN Housing, employment, local Investment, high-flying whales DAVID GOMBERG News Guard Guest Column
Last week I wrote about the new tsunami-resilient building and vertical-evacuation point at the On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of meeting with one of our many active Rotary clubs in the district. Among the questions asked was what we are doing to address the ongoing challenge of affordable housing and homelessness. I answered the question but did not have all the numbers at my fingertips. And I should have! Because I co-chair the committee that made these critical investments. During the 2021 session, we committed over $765 million for affordable housing, rental assistance, and shelter support, along with another $470 for mental & behavioral health. This included $410 million for housing construction through the Local Innovation Fast Track (LIFT) and Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) programs; $47 million for increasing emergency shelter capacity and navigation centers for the next cold-weather season statewide; $25 million to assist communities with shelter operations and provide technical assistance; and $10 million for the construction of a behavioral health resource center in downtown Portland. For far too long, we’ve been challenged to find housing that people who

want to live here can afford. Too many of our neighbors are one financial setback away from houselessness. I will continue to advocate for policies that keep Oregonians safe and housed including getting rental assistance that we have allocated into the hands of renters and landlords as fast as we can so we can avoid evictions. While there is no one policy that would solve these issues overnight, I worked hard this past session to support bills and funding to help our district move forward. Housing, child care, compensation changes, and education remain the major long-term challenges to our local economy. But in the short run, ask any employer or simply drive down the street and read the helpwanted signs, and it is clear the worker shortage is our most pressing problem.
Why aren’t people returning to work? The Census Bureau’s Household Pulse Survey was designed in April 2020 to quickly and efficiently collect data on how people’s lives may have been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic. The survey showed a number of different reasons why Oregon adults were not working during the two-week period
of September 15-27, 2021. An estimated 580,000 Oregonians were not working because they are retired. The next top reasons were “I am sick (not coronavirus related) or disabled”, “I was caring for children not in school or daycare”, and “I do not want to be employed at this time.”
Oregon Survey - Reasons for not returning to work The reasons Oregon adults were not working have changed over the three most recent survey periods. Around 84,400 Oregonians were not working in the July 21-August 2 survey period because they were “laid off or furloughed due to the coronavirus pandemic.” In the mid-August and midSeptember survey period, this reason dropped to less than 49,000 people. From the July survey period, the number of people not working because they were “caring for someone or sick themselves with coronavirus” and they “did not want to be employed at this time” increased from 31,200 to 63,700 people and 49,000 to 77,100 people, respectively. The “I was sick (not coronavirus related) or disabled” and “I was caring for children not in school or daycare” remained the top reasons in all three quarters.

not returning to work (July & August)
A detailed analysis in the Oregonian reports Oregon has regained nearly threequarters of the jobs the state lost in the pandemic’s early days. The state’s unemployment rate has plunged from a record 13.2% in April 2020 to under 5% last month. Economists forecast the state will have regained all the lost jobs by the end of next summer, just over two years from the start of the COVID-19 recession. That’s an extraordinary recovery. By comparison, it took about seven years for Oregon to regain all the jobs lost to the Great Recession – even though the total job loss was much smaller. One change that will certainly endure is Oregonians’ appetite for shopping online. A myriad of online sales and delivery services ramped up hiring as soon as the pandemic hit. Total em-
ployment in transportation and warehousing is up 5,600 jobs in the past two years. At 8.4%, that’s the largest percentage gain among Oregon’s major job sectors.

Oregon State Science Pub talk to focus on how to grow a quality Christmas tree BY SEAN NEALON
Oregon State University Extension’s Christmas tree specialist will talk about what it takes to grow a quality Christmas tree at OSU’s Science Pub on Nov. 8. The virtual event, a joint effort of Oregon State University in Corvallis and OSUCascades in Bend, will feature a talk by Chal Landgren, a professor in OSU’s College of Forestry at the North Willamette Research and Extension Center in Aurora. His presentation is titled “Your
Christmas Tree: What does a grower do in the 7-12 years before you cut a tree?” Many consumers assume Christmas tree growers simply plant a tree, wait eight years and then collect the money, Landgren said. The reality is much different. During his presentation, Landgren will discuss what it takes to grow a quality Oregon-grown tree from seed to final product. Oregon leads the nation in Christmas tree production, with about 375 licensed Christmas tree
growers selling about 4.6 million trees a year. The vast majority of Oregon trees are sold in the Pacific Northwest, California, Nevada and Arizona. Most of Oregon’s Christmas trees are grown in and around the Willamette Valley, especially in the foothills of the Coast and Cascade mountain ranges. Landgren, who has grown Christmas trees on a small family farm since 1982, is the author of the OSU Extension publication “Developing Quality Christ-
mas Trees in the Pacific Northwest.” The free Science Pub will run from 6 to 7:30 p.m. The event will be broadcast on YouTube Live. Registration is required and can be completed at https://beav.es/UQh. Sponsors of Science Pub include the OSU Office of Research, OSU-Cascades in Bend and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. Connect Central Oregon, a collaborative program with the OSU-Cascades Innovation Co-Lab, will produce the event with student interns.
80% of Oregonians vaccinated against COVID-19
Oregon Health Authority reported Wednesday that 80% of Oregonians 18 and older have had at least one does in their vaccination series against COVID-19. That’s 2,681,267 people in Oregon, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, who are now more protected against the coronavirus and one step closer to the critical threshold of immunity. The CDC’s number and percentage of adults who’ve received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine is slightly higher than the number and percentage reported on Oregon’s vaccination dashboard. The CDC’s data include vaccinations delivered through federal installations and facilities, such as the Veteran’s Administration. Overall, Oregon has delivered at least on dose of a COVID-19 vaccine to 68 percent of all residents (children below 12 remain ineligible for a vaccine). The state ranks 20th in the nation for the percentage of residents who have received at least one shot. Oregon has fully vaccinated 63 percent of all residents and ranks 12th in the nation for the percentage of residents who are fully protected. State health officials are encouraged that Oregon has reached the threshold of 80 percent of adults who’ve received at least a first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. But health experts estimate that Oregon and other states remain below the level of “herd immunity” required to extinguish viral transmission. Health experts continue to urge people who are unvaccinated to get immunized. “Reaching 80 percent is an important milestone because it loosens
COVID-19’s grip on our state. Vaccines work and we know they save lives. We strongly encourage everyone who has not yet been vaccinated to do so at their earliest opportunity. Getting vaccinated is – quite simply – our state’s best way out of this pandemic,” said Rachael Banks, OHA’s public health director. “We’ve made significant progress in closing the vaccination gap, among people of color and rural communities. But Oregon is still below the 80% threshold of those vaccinated for these groups. We can do more to ensure everyone in Oregon has a fair and equitable access to a COVID-19 vaccine.” To reach more people in communities of color, OHA has conducted intensive outreach across the state through its Community Partner Outreach Program and Community Engagement Team to engage more than 170 community-based organizations. These partnerships led to the co-production of outreach materials in 11 languages and dozens of communityspecific vaccine events. “We are working with leaders in communities of color and faith communities to redress the lack of fair access to vaccines,” Banks added. “We are committed to making sure our health care system and our vaccination efforts do a better job at eliminating long held health injustices. We also are working with organizers to incorporate childfriendly services wherever possible, knowing that very soon children ages 5-11 will be authorized to receive the vaccine as well.” “While we celebrate this milestone, our hope is that the 80% vaccination rate only continues to rise to include every Oregonian.”

Health Matters by Samaritan Health Services
ACL repairs can help all athletes, amateur or pro A sudden stop. A twist. A blow to the knee. These are some of the common ways an injury can occur to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It can happen to someone playing in the adult tennis league, as well as professional athletes. Orthopedic and sports medicine surgeon Christopher McCrum, MD, the new orthopedic consultant for sports injuries with Oregon State Athletics, has treated patients at all levels, including a fellowship with the team physician for the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins. The outcome Dr. McCrum is working toward remains the same, whether he’s helping someone to resume daily activities or working with an elite athlete at Samaritan Athletic Medicine Center. “My goal is getting people back to their highest functional level,” he said. “In sports medicine, we perform lifestyle saving surgery.” Diagnosis and decisions
“Particularly with young people, there’s a big advantage to repairing the ACL,” Dr. McCrum said. “If the ACL is deficient, you could end up injuring other parts of the knee.” Reconstruction options
To diagnose an ACL tear, an X-ray is taken to rule out injury to the bones. Then an MRI scan confirms a tear and looks for other soft-tissue damage.
A surgeon takes tissue from somewhere else in the body or uses cadaver tissue to reconstruct the ACL. For older patients and older athletes, cadaver tissue can be a good choice because this method allows for a quicker recovery period.
There are many treatment options, including non-surgical rehabilitation. Not everybody needs an ACL to live day-to-day life, Dr. McCrum said.
In younger athletes at higher risk of reinjury, there are three different graft tissue choices for ACL reconstruction: the quadriceps tendon, the patellar tendon and the hamstring.
“Some people are able to run and jump,” he said. “For others, even getting out of the car or pivoting in the kitchen is enough not to be able to cope.”
“The quad tendon graft is the most common one I do because of the risk and benefits,” Dr. McCrum said. “The patellar tendon graft is most commonly used by professional athletes.”
In athletes who play sports like soccer, basketball or football, the knee isn’t stable enough without the ACL intact.
Dr. McCrum discusses the different graft options so that patients understand the pros and cons of each procedure.
Surgery, recovery and rehabilitation Surgeons prefer to wait for swelling in the knee to go down and range of motion to return before reconstructing the ACL. Reconstructive surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure, which means a person can go home from the hospital the same day. The anesthesiologist can use a procedure called a nerve block to numb the nerves around the knee to make it more comfortable. Patients start rehabilitation right away. “It’s not a be-cooped-up-in-bed-type of surgery,” he said. “It’s a get-back-on-your-feet-and-getgoing surgery.” Depending on if the surgery was ACL-only or more involved, expect to use crutches for two to six weeks. Most people are back to full participation in their activities within a year, sooner for some high-level athletes. Christopher McCrum, MD, sees patients at Samaritan Athletic Medicine in Corvallis and can be reached at 541-768-7700.
Medicare shopping season is now underway, ends in early December Oct. 15 marked the beginning of Medicare’s annual open enrollment period. Whether enrolled in Original Medicare only or already enrolled in a Medicare Advantage or Medicare Supplement plan, Medicare recipients can take advantage of this period each year to switch to a new health plan or add to their Medicare insurance coverage for the following year.
4. Don’t forget about prescription drug coverage. Original Medicare and Medicare Supplement plans do not include coverage for prescription drugs, so you may need to purchase a separate Part D prescription drug plan. Medicare Advantage plans, however, often include prescription drug coverage without a separate premium.
If you’ve been thinking about making changes to your coverage for next year, here are some things you may want to consider: 1. Look at your total annual out-of-pocket costs. Consider not only monthly premiums but other costs such as copays, coinsurance, deductibles and annual limits on your total out-of-pocket spending. 2. Think about coverage beyond original Medicare. Medicare Advantage and Medicare Supplement plans often include extra coverage and benefits for hearing, vision, chiropractic, fitness memberships and more. 3. Check the provider network. Make sure your favorite doctors, hospitals and other important providers are included in the plan’s network.

He retired from public service and in 1982 he and Louise moved into their Oregon Coast beach cottage in Neskowin, Oregon.

Born in Wenonah, New Jersey, the son of Ernest and Edna Simpson, Eric was devoted to his family, taking his stepmother Mildred on annual vacations until the end of her life. His family moved to Virginia, where Eric attended high school and then college at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. He spent summers waiting tables for seaside tourists in Cape May, New Jersey, and Virginia Beach. While working for The Music Box Company in Boston, he was transferred to manage its store on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco; he served as organist and parish administrator for the San Francisco Church of the Advent and organist at St. Aidan’s Episcopal. He was also active in PAWS (Pets Are Wonderful Support), taking care of the pets of people with AIDS who could no longer care for them. Eric and his husband Scott were named Lincoln City’s “Couple of the Year” in 2008 for their many contributions

will receive $76,190 to fund the purchase of a Direct Connect Source Capture Exhaust System to be installed into Station 16 in Taft.” Dahlman said the system connects directly to the tailpipe of a fire agency vehicle parked inside the station so harmful exhaust is sent directly outside by the way of ducting and a fan system. “Vehicle exhaust is a known carcinogen and poses a danger to firefighters and other occupants of the building,” Dahlman said. “This system makes our building and our firefighters healthier.” NLFR had applied for the grant twice before over the past three years before being successful. “Persistence pays off,” Dahlman said. The new safer exhaust system is expected to be installed in the next eight weeks. Station 14 in Oceanlake had this same system installed during the extensive building seismic upgrade and remodel two years ago. NLFR also has received a State Homeland Security Program grant of $20,000 through the Office of Oregon Emergency Management. “The grant was award is meant to strengthen communications and maintain interoperability between Public Safety agencies,” Dalhman said. The grant money will fund the purchase of additional portable radios. “Upgrading communications with current technology is an important safety concern,” Dahlman said. “Although not a large amount of funding, NLFR needs to improve communications with Fire/EMS agencies based in Yamhill and Polk counties. The purchase of dual band portable radios will allow us to have one radio capable of those communications. These radios are double the cost of a single band radio, priced around $2,500 each.” NLFR serves 80 square miles and operates six stations.

What’s going on down in Tiger Town? SUBMITTED BY TAFT 7-12 High School This week Tigers celebrated the Boys and Girls soccer teams as they both won their playoff games which means they are moving forward with the playoffs. Tigers are ready to cheer them on to the end. Many Tigers took their SAT test and are eager to see what score they got. The score may help them get into universities. On Wednesday, Taft ASB had their last PinkOut Welcome Wednesday. This is where ASB stands at prominent points in the
school and welcomes students in. They hold posters based on the month or event that’s happening. Last month the posters read “Welcome Tigers” in Spanish for Hispanic Heritage Month, this month the posters were pink and read “Breast Cancer Awareness Month” this was to remind kids to donate and to let people who are coming in know that we are all here collectively as a school and a community. Friday, Tigers were allowed and encouraged to wear school appropriate costumes to school because Halloween is on Sunday this year. Next
month is Native American Heritage Month. Taft will learn facts about the month in the morning announcements and there will be a fun quiz to test Tigers on their knowledge of the heritage. November 11th is Veterans Day, Taft will be showing their representation by doing Stars of Service. This is where Tigers have the opportunity to put a relative or somebody the know who served in any branch of the military on a star and ASB will hang the stars up around the school. Each branch of the military will have their own colored star.
Lincoln County: Voices of the Vaccinated Many individuals have different experiences and motivations when it comes to COVID-19 vaccination. Lincoln County Public Health has invited people to share their personal stories and we are sharing those with readers over the coming weeks.

“I didn’t know I was going to get vaccinated when I did. I had signed up in January to serve as a volunteer at the very first vaccine clinic and, before my first shift was complete, they said anyone who volunteered could get their shot. That wasn’t the reason I volunteered, but it did motivate my desire to help as much as I possibly could. From January through June of this year, I signed up for every shift I could and accumulated around 140 hours of volunteer time helping at vaccine clinics. I had no doubt, not one ounce of doubt, that I needed to get the COVID vaccine. Maybe it’s my generation, but I was vaccinated for a lot of things when I was a child and I felt I would do whatever was necessary to make things better. I’m a business owner and we were suffering. Our company photographs school students and sporting events and, at the time, we had no idea when kids would be back in school. My mindset was that, if this is going to take things one step forward, that’s what I want to do.”
Columbia Bank’s board of directors approved on Oct .11 a definitive agreement to combine Columbia Bank and Umpqua Bank.

Oh Deer! Animal migration underway JEREMY C. RUARK jruark@countrymedia.net
Each year from 20142018 in Oregon there were an estimated 7,000 crashes involving deer and elk causing an average of 2.2 human fatalities with over 453 people injured. The crashes resulted in $44 million in vehicle damages, according to the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT). ODOT reports that October and November are the busiest months for vehicle-wildlife collisions. The animal’s searching for food increases the danger of collisions with vehicles. Natural food sources are lean in the upper coastal elevations from fall through the winter as snowfall covers the ground. Elk and deer may move to lower elevations to find adequate food. These additional movements often mean that the animals are crossing major roads both day and night which creates hazards to motorists. Wildlife officials caution that the animals are often stressed as they search of food. Signs placed in particularly popular areas for wildlife crossing are one tool to help drivers avoid collisions. Being especially watchful around sunrise and sunset is another tip that can help reduce vehicle-wildlife incidents, according to ODOT. Be aware of the possible dangers associated with ani-
mals on or near roadways. When you see a wildlife, reduce your speed, and try to stay in your lane. ODOT urges drivers and passengers to always wear safety belts.
Steps to avoid a deer crossing
• Watch for the rest of the gang. If you’ve seen one, you haven’t seen them all. • Wear a seat belt. It won’t prevent a collision, but wearing one can reduce injuries. • Take a moment to reflect. Look for road signs and always stay awake, aware and sober. • Illuminate. Use high beam headlights if there’s no oncoming traffic. The light will reflect in a deer’s eyes. • Honk. One long blast can scare deer to off the road. • Timing is everything. Be extra cautious during the spring and fall and at dusk and dawn when deer are most active.
If a collision is unavoidable
• Stay on course. Don’t swerve, brake firmly and stay in your lane. • Alert other drivers. Pull off the road and put on flashers. • Contact authorities. If you collide with a large animal, you are legally required to report it to law enforcement. • Report animals you move. Refer to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife webpage for animal salvage guidelines. For more information visit the ODOT or Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife web and Facebook sites.
