Any day is now a golfing day at Salishan Golf Links. Known for it’s premiere 18-hole course designed by PGA Tour Pro Peter Jacobsen, the clubhouse has made several key additions to create a fully immersive golf experience on the Central Oregon Coast, including an indoor golf simulator known as The Players Lounge.
Salishan Director of Golf, Tom Graves, is a Newport High School graduate who played and coached college golf at Corban University in Salem. For the past two years, Graves has been working on improving the golf experience at Salishan through his nonprofit, The Short Grass Foundation, which owns and operates the new lounge separate from the resort. The nonprofit was established to support collegiate golf programs and student-athletes. “It’s been close to my heart,” Graves said.
“I played college golf for four years and coached for four years and I was fortunate enough to graduate debt free because of scholarships, so I wanted to provide that opportunity to kids who were passionate about golf.” The Player’s Lounge is a indoor virtual golf experience equipped with over 100 playable courses such as Pebble Beach

A Lincoln City man with multiple felony convictions was sentenced to federal prison last week for distributing methamphetamine in and around Lincoln City, announced Acting U.S. Attorney Scott Erik Asphaug. Jerad Joseph White, 39, was sentenced to 100 months in federal prison and 5 years’ supervised release. According to court documents, on March 12, 2018, White and an accomplice, Patricia Rose Hendrick, 25, of Lincoln City, Oregon, arrived in a vehicle to the parking lot of the Lincoln City Outlets. As had been previously arranged, White sold three ounces of methamphetamine to an undercover agent for $900. On December 12, 2018, a federal grand jury in Eugene returned a twocount indictment charging White and Hedrick with conspiring to possess with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. By December 2020, White and Hendrick had both pleaded guilty to possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine. On October 29, 2020, Hendrick was sentenced to time served in prison and five years’ supervised release. This case was investigated by the

Lincoln County plans to address STRs by June 1 CHERI BRUBAKER Guest Contributor The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners suspended new short-term rental (STR) licenses in unincorporated county areas in March 2020. While the initial suspension was for 60 days, it was extended multiple times. It is set to expire on June 1. The issue of where STRs should be allowed, how many should be permitted, the number of guests allowed, as well as enforcement of violations, have been discussed and hotly contested over the past year as the commissioners have grappled with how to manage the proliferation of short-term vacation rentals in residential zones in unincorporated areas of the county. At the March 29th regular meeting of the board, which was held remotely and available to livestream on YouTube,

On a narrow one lane road in Miroco, a neighborhood off of Otter Crest in unincorporated Lincoln County, several signs proclaim “Neighborhoods not vacation rentals.” County Counsel Wayne Belmont presented staff recommendations regarding STRs, a timeline for public input and plans for the STR program going forward. Belmont told the commissioners “the extent of the use
of a residence” was the most commented issue, referenced more than any other single item in the large volume of public input. “Occupancy is a key factor, really, in the viability of the STR program and its impact
on surrounding neighbors,” he said, noting current regulations allow “six, nine, or even 12 persons to occupy a residence.” Census data, Belmont related, says the current average household size is 2.25 persons per household. “[Current regulations] provide for an intensity of use that really is beyond the current intensity,” he said. Recommendations include reducing the 3 persons per sleeping area to two persons per sleeping area and adding a maximum occupancy during the day. Events, such as weddings and graduations, will be prohibited. Limiting the number of guests in STRs, Belmont projected, would have “as much impact as any other change you could make in the code, short of actually disallowing STRs,” he said. “These are residential areas and
should be used for residential purposes.” Belmont pointed out that there are other places available in the county to host events. With approximately 75 percent of unincorporated Lincoln County STRs on septic systems, staff recommendations include inspection requirements. Additional code enforcement and a cap on the number of licenses issued are also recommended. Belmont advised the commissioners that the current recommendations do not include recommendations regarding fees, but those will be coming. There will be further recommendations around a cap, as well as amendments to Lincoln County Code Chapter 5, the transit room tax. There will also be recommendations that address different management models and practices. Monica Kirk of 15Neigh-
borhoods, a group circulating a ballot measure that seeks to limit and eventually phase out STRs in low-density, singlefamily zones in unincorporated Lincoln County, expressed disappointment in the recommendations presented to the board. “The recommendations don’t provide the data that the board has insisted upon for the last fourteen months. They do not reflect the written public comments that have been submitted during the workshops during 2019, 2020 and 2021. There is no cost-benefit analysis of local tourism that takes into account impacts on infrastructure,” Kirk said. “We would encourage the board to cancel the April 7 public meeting, because there is nothing new to be considered,” Kirk added.

Frontline worker families, others now vaccine eligible ZACK DEMARS Country Media
As COVID-19 cases begin to rise again in Oregon, state officials are expanding the list of individuals eligible to receive a vaccine, despite a reduction in expected supply. The update to the state’s vaccination plan came Friday in a press conference where Gov. Kate Brown and state health officials described the state’s next several months of pandemic response as a tug-of-war between vaccines and virus spread. “Over the past two weeks, Oregon has seen our COVID case rates slowly rise. It’s clear that in Oregon and across the country, the fourth surge of this virus is at our doorstep,” Brown said Friday. “But make no mistake, this is a race between the vaccines and the variants. It’s a critical moment for us all to double down so we can outrun this next wave.” Brown and officials from the Oregon Health Authority announced expansions to the state’s vaccine eligibility: Starting Monday statewide, the household family members of frontline workers, as well as those with a now-wider set of underlying health conditions, will be eligible to receive a shot. “We know it’s not easy for everyone to find the time and the transportation to get to a vaccination appointment. If you’re a frontline worker making the effort, bring your family members and do it all together,” Brown said. The new list of eligible underlying health conditions brings the state’s rules in line with federal recommendations, and now includes

Starting this week, family members of frontline workers can now get the COVID-19 vaccine as well as others who have health conditions. the following: - Cancer - Chronic kidney disease - Chronic lung conditions including COPD, asthma, cystic fibrosis and pulmonary hypertension - Down Syndrome - Dementia or other neurological conditions - Diabetes, type 1 or 2 - Heart conditions - HIV infection - Weakened immune systems - Liver disease - Overweight or obesity - Pregnancy - Smoking, current or former - Sickle cell disease - Solid organ or blood stem cell transplant - Stroke or other cerebrovascu-
lar disease - Substance use disorder A complete list of eligibility definitions is available on the state’s website at covidvaccine. oregon.gov/. Friday’s change comes as the virus “appears to be rebounding,” according to State Health Officer Dr. Dean Sidelinger. “We continue to see a general trend of increasing daily cases along with virus-related hospitalizations,” Sidelinger said. The increases mean some counties could return to higher levels of virus restrictions in the coming weeks as case rates continue to rise, Sidelinger said. The health officials Friday said they had no plans to change the current virus restriction frame-
work, despite objections from some that the risk level model is too restrictive on businesses, and objections from others that the state should be enacting more restrictions in the face of increased virus spread. Instead, Brown, Sidelinger and OHA Director Patrick Allen repeatedly stressed the actions residents can take to slow the spread of the virus, even if they’ve already been fully vaccinated: Wearing face coverings, washing hands, maintaining social distancing and getting vaccinated when possible. “The good news is, now when we face a surge, we know how to protect ourselves and others, with powerful safety measures like mask wearing and avoiding large social gatherings. And we have three safe and effective vaccines rapidly rolling out,” Brown said. Still, meeting the state’s original vaccination targets is looking to be less of a possibility, as vaccine manufacturer Johnson & Johnson announced this week a production error could force it throw out millions of not-yet-distributed doses. “That shortfall results in about an eight- or nine-day setback in the timeframe when cumulative doses in Oregon would exceed the number of people who are eligible,” Allen said. In other words, the state’s projection of when it’ll have vaccinated all eligible adults is moving past its previous late-May projection. “Oregon will not delay our vaccine eligibility timelines despite the disruption in Johnson & Johnson doses,” Allen said. “However, we
may need to temper our hopes of having enough doses to vaccinate all Oregonians over 16 by late May, and bump that expectation back a couple of weeks.” Allen also said some regions of the state have begun to see a concerning trend of seniors choosing to wait to the get the vaccine, instead of getting it as they become eligible. Seven in 10 seniors have already gotten vaccinated, but Allen said several counties report less than five in 10 have been vaccinated due to low demand, including Douglas, Gillam, Grant, Lake, Malheur, Morrow and Umatilla. “The serious risk the virus poses to older adults far outweighs the temporary discomfort and disruption you might experience from getting a vaccine,” Allen said, encouraging older adults not to wait to get vaccinated. And Sidelinger announced Friday the state detected more than 200 previously unreported cases of a California variant of the virus, which the CDC says can spread more quickly and is less susceptible to some treatments and vaccines. Those variants and the state’s recent increases in cases suggest a continued need to stay vigilant, according to Brown. “I’m obviously very concerned about the increased spread of the virus throughout Oregon. That’s why we are working hard to get more Oregonians to get vaccinated, particularly our most vulnerable populations,” Brown said. “I’m asking Oregonians to continue to rely on safety measures.”

and St. Andrews. The Trackman launch monitor technology also provides a great training tool for golfers grooving their swings. “A lot of the members just like to use the range feature to really practice their game,” Graves said. “It’s a pretty powerful program, it measures all sorts of different statistics.” With membership and day use options, the indoor facility has been a big hit at the resort especially on a rainy coastal day. Members
of the lounge have 24 hour access to the room that’s equipped with cable TV, music and other entertainment. The facility has also been utilized to give lessons to members and guests, as well as provide opportunities to do club fitting to find your perfect set of sticks. Graves said he hopes to get a full line of vendors for club fitting very soon. “Hopefully we can be the one stop shop for clubs
on the Oregon Coast,” Graves said. New Teaching Pro Graves isn’t the only one hoping to provide a one-of-a-kind experience at Salishan, the course recently welcomed a new Head Golf Professional to its ranks in Jared Lambert. Lambert is a Class A PGA Professional and had been spending summers working at courses in Central Oregon and winters in Palm Springs to hit the peak times for

golf. He is a welcome addition to the Salishan staff. “We had such a good year last year despite COVID and everything, and the GM saw the need for more help,” Graves said. “We’re a small staff and we’ve been busy. So he’s full time and will be here year-round.” Graves is also excited to welcome Lambert, as he also attended Corban University where the two formed a strong friendship. Together, Graves and Lambert plan to organize sum-
mer tournaments for the community as well as put on teaching clinics for the public, women and juniors specifically. “We want to really expand the golf offerings here on the coast because really you have to go inland to do that kind of stuff,” Graves said. “We’re getting quite a few members from Newport and Waldport because they feel it’s worth the drive to play the course and use the facilities.”

Memorial Day Graves and Lambert are prepping for a big summer at the Salishan Resort. Kicking off that busy summer, the clubhouse plans to open a new restaurant called Hook and Slice Memorial Day weekend. The weekend will feature traditional clubhouse food, as well as grab and go options for golfers making the turn. Also Memorial Day weekend, Salishan plans to host a fundraiser tournament for nonprofit Miracles For Kids. Salishan owners will be donating a significant amount to the cause and hope to have a great turnout for the event. Enticing golfers to compete will be the grand prize of an all inclusive trip to Cabo, Mexico. More details on the event will be coming soon.

Virus outbreak at county jail MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
A total of 10 people tested positive for COVID-19 at the Lincoln County Jail this past week as the county declared an outbreak. On Saturday March 27, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Administration was informed that an Adult In Custody (AIC) was indicating signs/symptoms similar to that of COVID-19. The AIC was immediately tested utilizing a rapid COVID-19 test, the result returned positive. Based on the housing location of the AIC all AIC were tested and five additional tests were received as positive. As per established protocol, all AIC who test positive are to receive an additional test, polymerase chain reac-

tion (PCR), to confirm accuracy of the initial test. In addition to AIC, staff were provided the necessary COVID test. Prior plans had been established which entailed leaving a housing unit vacant should they have one or more positive cases. Because of this established process the jail was able to quarantine these AIC and they are now being monitored by medical staff multiple times each day. At this point all of the individuals exhibit only minor symptoms, which can be adequately treated within the facility. Jail medical staff have been in close contact with Lincoln County Public Health and the State of Oregon to ensure all necessary protocols are being followed to include contact tracing. All AIC throughout
Oregon became eligible for the COVID vaccine in February. Lincoln County has been and will continue to offer the vaccine to all AIC. To date Lincoln County has provided at least a single dose vaccine to 43 AIC. On Wednesday March 31, all Adults in Custody (AIC) were re-tested for COVID-19, two additional positive cases among this population were discovered. In addition, staff were re-tested and two additional cases were discovered. On Saturday April 3, all AIC and staff on duty were re-tested again. All tests returned as negative. Staff continue to work with Lincoln County Public Health, State of Oregon as well as the facility physician to ensure proper procedures and protocols are in place.
Haunted Taft returns THE NEWS GUARD
The guys and ghouls of Haunted Taft will kick off a safe and scary new season of tours on Saturday nights this spring, starting on May 1. Haunted Taft is a fun and spooky walking tour featuring the ghosts and legends of Lincoln City’s historic bayfront area. First launched in October of 2018, Haunted Taft has grown to become one of the premiere ghost tours in Oregon For the safety of our guide and all tour guests, tour guests are required to wear masks and maintain a six-foot distance from other parties. Guides are equipped with voice amplification devices so that guests can hear stories from a safe distance. “The outpouring of support from the Taft community has allowed
us to add surprises and new stories to the tour,” said Shellie Stuart, tour director and Executive Director of the Bay Area Merchants Association. I’d especially like to thank the businesses who’ve stepped up to be sponsors this year.” Haunted Taft’s not-soscary sponsors include these local businesses: • Beachtown Charities Thrift & Gift • Beachside Spirits at Kenny’s IGA • Rejuvenation Massage & Spa • Sapphire Center
This year you’ll hear stories by the glowing light of the Lincoln City Glass Studio’s glass furnaces and old favorites, like the Haunted Fire Truck and the Barefoot Bartender of Snug Harbor, will be back, but with some fun new twists and tales. As in years past, the Sapphire Center is where guests check-in and begin their tour. Owner Claire Hagen readily admits that her store in the historic Bailey Building is home to many spirits, but emphasizes that they are playful, not bad. According to Claire, “There’s no shortage of unexplained happenings in Taft – We’ll never run out of stories to tell.” Beginning on May 1, the tour will be offered every Saturday night.

VOICES OF THE COMMUNITY Back In The Day Sixty plus years ago I worked a temp job at the register to vote office in our county. In order to vote you needed to come to the office and fill out a register to vote form and proof of residency. You then raised your right hand and swore allegiance to the USA and were given your card. On voting day you went to the local grammar school which was the poling place for that area and voted. Your name would be on the list. You were given your ballot and you voted and put your ballot in the ballot box. Pretty clean, clear cut and legal. Marylin Gunthier, Tidewater
Support of Susan Wahlke for Mayor I have served on City Council with three of the five candidates for mayor and I support Susan Wahlke for that position. She has proven over and over again that she cares about the well-being of the citizens of Lincoln City. She is a strong advocate for good and solid governance. She does that by being informed, educated,
Lincoln City’s largest and most trusted news source.
and prepared. When on Council she attended city and governance professional training. She also took the initiative to consult with experts when needed. She is always prepared – never participating in a Council function without doing her homework. Susan Wahlke knows how to run a meeting. She facilitated meetings as the Chair of the Urban Renewal Agency and also stepped up to lead Council meetings in her role as Council President in the absence of the mayor. She knows the Oregon Laws, Lincoln City Charter, and Council Rules that provide guidance to the city. She knows Lincoln City’s heart and will serve to make sure citizens’ voices are heard. Don’t let her soft voice mislead you – she has fierce determination. She doesn’t fool around, no tricks to trip up the Council, no push to serve one type of business over another. She believes that the city should enforce its ordinances and will work with staff to make sure that happens. She will not let things fall between the cracks. Susan keeps a list and consistently asks for accountability about those items that are to be done. She has the respect of all those who know or have worked with her in her professional and volunteer
roles. She has served the city with high standards, and that is what we need. Susan Wahlke is the right person for mayor at this time. Susan Wahlke is the right person for mayor because she is prepared and ready to get to work on day one. Susan Wahlke is the right person for mayor to lead the way in the hiring of the next City Manager without disruption of the important work of the city. Susan Wahlke is the right person for mayor to calmly and firmly lead the city. Diana Hinton, City Councilor, Ward 1, Lincoln City
Strong Leadership On Council We have two excellent candidates for Mayor: Susan Wahlke and Riley Hoagland. Each is dedicated, hardworking, and committed to our community. We need them both on the City Council. That’s why my vote is going to Susan Wahlke. With Susan as Mayor and Riley remaining on the Council, we’ll have one of the strongest councils in years, ready and able to address major and pressing issues – the hiring of a new City Manager, the housing crisis, the development of
a new – and way overdue – Comprehensive Plan, and much more. Wahlke and Riley, along with councilors Casper, Hinton, Mark, Parsons, and Skinner, work well together and will get the job done. Steve Griffiths, Nelscott
Sen. Anderson Honors His Oath Dear Sen. Anderson, Thank you for being present in the Oregon State Senate for the vote on SR 554 (prohibition of concealed handguns in Oregon public buildings). While we may not always share your opinion on issues, we applaud you for doing what your constituents elected you to do. You did the responsible thing by honoring your oath and participating in our state’s established governmental process. Please continue to represent us by being in attendance for all legislative decisions. Kim and Mark Cavatorta, Hebo
Disappointed in State Senators Richard “Dick” Ander-
son along with five other Republicans should have walked (the gang of six: Dick Anderson, Fred Girod, Bill Hansell, Lynn Findley, Bill Kennemer & Tim Knopp). HB-554 passed due to the fact the State Senate had enough members to form a quorum and vote on this bill. They can justify all they want on how hard they fought for my gun rights and how they support the 2nd Amendment. The reality is they did not do so. If the gang of six would have walked, the bill would be dead. No quorum, no vote. It may be dirty politics but politics is dirty and don’t let anybody tell you otherwise. What the Republicans need to do is take a page from the Progressive / Communist / Leftist playbook and turn the table. I supported and rallied for Dick Anderson in So. Co. Tillamook and Lincoln Co. Even though I’m not in his district the decisions he makes effect me and all Oregonians. “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going take it anymore.” Republicans / Conservatives need to elect representatives that have a spine.

Health Matters by Samaritan Health Services
For a healthy tomorrow, get the vaccine as soon as you’re eligible COVID-19 vaccinations are now available to Lincoln County residents ages 65 and older, as well as specific frontline workers and people ages 16 and above with certain underlying health conditions identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. These include cancer, heart disease, obesity, diabetes or a compromised immune system.
Samaritan Health Services and Lincoln County Public Health have operated vaccination clinics since mid-January and have vaccinated more than 17,563 people in Lincoln County — or approximately 35% of the total county population. Questions about the vaccines? Adam Brady, MD, infectious disease specialist and chair of the Coronavirus Task Force at Samaritan Health Services, offers some answers to common questions. “The main thing to know is that the COVID-19 vaccines have been thoroughly tested and are safe,” said Dr. Brady. “Getting a vaccine will help protect you from getting COVID-19.” Does the vaccine give you COVID-19? No. The vaccine is not a live vaccine, meaning it does not contain any live virus or give you COVID-19 infection. “It takes 29 different proteins to build the coronavirus, and this vaccine creates only one of them, the spike protein,” Dr. Brady explained. “It is not capable of replicating into a virus.” Who should avoid getting the vaccine? “If a person has had a severe allergic reaction to any of the components that make up the vaccine, they should not get the vaccine,” Dr. Brady said. “Also, if you had a severe reaction to a previous dose of

the vaccine or to any other mRNA vaccine, you should not get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines. Speak with your health care provider about any concerns you may have.” If you are pregnant or nursing, should you get the vaccine? “While these vaccines were not tested in pregnant women, there are very low theoretical risks to mother or baby with these vaccines,” Dr. Brady said. In fact, getting the coronavirus when pregnant can be far worse. In a study of 23,434 pregnant women, those with symptomatic COVID-19 were more likely than non-pregnant women with the virus to have severe illness, hospital admissions, death and premature birth. “National and international women’s health organizations recommend vaccination to prevent new infections, and theoretically, from what we know about how these vaccines work, there is very little harm to baby through breast milk. There is, however, potential for antibodies to pass through breast milk of women who are vaccinated, so that would be a good thing for baby,” he said.
Do I still need to wear a mask or take other precautions after getting vaccinated? For now, you should still wear a face mask when out and about in public and avoid large gatherings. The CDC recently released guidance saying people who are fully vaccinated — meaning two weeks after your second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, or two weeks after one dose of Johnson & Johnson vaccine — may gather indoors with other vaccinated individuals without masks, and they don’t need to quarantine if they’ve been exposed to COVID-19. As the supply of COVID-19 vaccine becomes more plentiful and eligibility requirements open up, more people will be vaccinated. Eventually we will reach herd immunity and our lives should be able to go back to “normal” — though there may be lessons from this pandemic we’ll want to remember always. How can I get vaccinated? Go to samhealth.org/GetTheVaccine and sign up on the Lincoln County waitlist. Check out samhealth.org/COVIDVaccine for more information.

What could be causing your shoulder pain? You probably don’t think about your shoulders much, until you suddenly experience pain in one of them. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body. As such, shoulder pain can make many everyday activities difficult — things like brushing your hair, driving and reaching up or behind you to grab something. Orthopedic Surgeon Alec Federov, MD, explains that the ball-and-socket shoulder joint is cushioned by a layer of cartilage. It’s surrounded by four muscles and rotator cuff tendons, which are responsible for shoulder motion. You are more likely to have problems with your shoulder after age 60 because the soft tissues surrounding the shoulder tend to degenerate with age. The pain can begin gradually or abruptly, ranging from mild to excruciating, and night pain is very common. The most common causes of shoulder pain are:
Rotator cuff tendinitis and bursitis (impingements): This involves irritation, inflammation or compression of the rotator cuff tendons or bursa (the fluid-filled sac that sits between bones). Impingements can be caused by an injury, but also can result simply from general wear and tear. Calcific tendinitis: Calcium deposits become embedded within the rotator cuff tendons. The cause is unknown, and this condition usually results in a sudden onset of severe pain. Rotator cuff tears: These can be caused by trauma — such as a fall or lifting a heavy object — or age-related wear and tear with older populations. Osteoarthritis: This age-related process causes degeneration of cartilage, resulting in a gradual onset of pain. Frozen shoulder: Caused by a thickening and stiffening of the tissues around the
shoulder joint, this is more common in females and people with diabetes. Most of these problems can be treated non-surgically with anti-inflammatory medications, activity modification, physical therapy and cortisone injections. Surgery is an option if these measures don’t give relief, Federov noted. Alec Fedorov, MD, is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon serving patients at Samaritan Orthopedics & Podiatry in Newport and Samaritan Coastal Clinic in Lincoln City.

Habitat for Humanity tackles affordable housing THE NEWS GUARD
Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County (HFHLC) is celebrating three major milestones which represent the full lifecycle of how strong community partnerships can place more needy families in safe, affordable housing. Two Habitat homeowners recently made their final mortgage payments to HFHLC and now own their homes outright while, at the same time, two more partner families are being selected for the next build in Lincoln City, a part of the county devastated by the recent Echo Mountain Fire Complex. And finally, newly completed townhomes on South Pine Street in Newport were sold to two partner families at the end of March. Family selection for the two homes to be built in Lincoln City in 2021-2022 is well underway and should be completed by the end of April. Those families will then put in

beginning construction, then raises the rest of the money as the project progresses. Major funders so far include the State of Oregon through a Local Innovation Fast Track (LIFT) grant, the City of Lincoln City, Lin-
degree they might negatively impact local taxpayers,” she wrote. VIA Oregon identifies on its website as a “coalition to meet the growing collective needs of vacation homeowners, hosts and supporting industries to realize the full
benefits that come with a consolidated voice … advocating ... on regulatory and other issues vital to survival in the vacation rental industry.” Michel added, “We want to work with the county and create good rules that make sense. The proposals are
coln County, and the Spirit Mountain Community Fund. HFHLC, however, continues to seek funding for this project. “Lumber and other construction costs keep going up and up and no longer reflect our original estimate,” said HFHLC Executive Director Lucinda Taylor, “We really need the public’s help in raising the necessary funding to get these families into their homes by the end of 2022.” The two families who helped build their new homes on South Pine Street recently signed loan documents, taking on an affordable 30-year mortgage in the process. The project encountered several obstacles along the way due to the slope of the land and higher than anticipated excavation and foundation costs. Yet, with the help of the community, and a tremendous contribution of labor and assistance in project management from Luckini Construction, the homes have now been
completed, receiving the final certificate of occupancy in mid-March. Both families were ecstatic to move into their new digs. “I can’t believe it’s finally happening,” says Jacque Woodall, new Habitat homeowner. “It seemed to take forever, but now that I’m in my own house and it was worth the wait.” Jacque’s new neighbor, Judy Ann Fleming, said, “Receiving this new home is a dream come true! Many thanks to the Lord, my church family for their prayers, Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County, and the many people and companies that made this possible. God Bless you all.” At the other end of the process, the two Habitat homeowners who recently made their final mortgage payments are equally excited. “One of my life dreams was to own a home, but it seemed too far away to be a reality for a small-town girl working in
home health care. Thanks to Habitat, I have lived to see that dream come true, allowing me to raise my children in a stable home and give them a solid foundation for adult life. What a great sense of accomplishment!” said Jackie Ashley. Jackie and her son helped build their home, which was completed in 2003. The other homeowner who recently paid off his mortgage moved into his home in 2001. “It’s wonderful to celebrate so many milestones,” says Board President Chris Boyle. “These moments don’t just happen. They require the generosity of donors who give large amounts of money as well as many small donors who give five, twenty or a hundred dollars. Importantly, it’s not just the money. Many volunteers contribute their effort, time and expertise to see the walls rise and the roofs go on and help to overcome the obstacles that get in the way.”
brand new and haven’t been shared until now, a week before the public hearing. We want fair regulations that work, but some of these proposals would only hurt local taxpayers and won’t achieve compliance, which will result in driving the activity under-
ground.” The public is invited to comment in a virtual workshop to be held Wednesday, April 7th at 6 p.m., with additional workshops to be scheduled if needed. After public comment, the board will again discuss proposed
changes to the STR program at their April 12th meeting. Information regarding the STR workshop, including a form to submit comments, can be found on at https:// www.co.lincoln.or.us/boc/ page/short-term-rental-strlicensing-2021-workshops.

Thank you to all of our student-athletes, coaches, families, and community for your work to make Season 2 a reality in our schools. As LCSD wraps up Season 2 and moves to Season 3, we will continue to follow our eight fans for Senior athletes on their designated Senior Night and the two fans per student-athlete at home contests that began on March 29. In addition, fans who are within their own vehicle may watch the game from the parking lot as long as fire lanes, other vehicles, gates, and handicap parking spaces are not blocked. Due to OSAA event contact tracing requirements, we will not allow fans to walk up to the fence or congregate in lawn chairs or other seating arrangements on LCSD property, this includes public
facilities while under direct supervision and responsibility of LCSD. Fans choosing to watch games in the back of their vehicle on our property, such as a truck, may do so while wearing a mask. It is important to know that bathrooms will not be accessible outside of the event. We are excited to have fans back and continue to look for Covid monitors and event volunteers. We will continue to monitor our County metrics throughout the season and will have update or spectator attendance rules, as necessary. In addition, Season 3 may present a new set of challenges for our teams. When planning athletics and activities, LCSD operates under OSAA, Oregon Department of Education, Oregon Sector Guidance, and
Oregon County Metrics rule, which can be confusing. For instance, while K-12 education metrics come from the ODE (We can have 91 and still be Green because Green for ODE is <200.), we follow county metrics for athletics. If we go to “High” status in 2 weeks, it may cause additional spectator changes due to capacity. Masks are also still required for all athletic participants, coaches, officials, staff, and spectators. This has been a controversial Oregon Health Authority requirement and one that has not had any movement at the state level. We look forward to a strong end to Season 2 and a great Season 3! - Majalise Tolan, LCSD Director of Secondary Education

Several Tiger squads close out short season

hits into her upper and lower body until she had the confidence to use that technique in her match,” Arce-Torres said. The back line was stout once again, not allowing Amity any opportunities to score. Olivia Coulter played her best match of the year, according to the coaching staff, and showed why she got the starting role this season on the back line. “I’m so proud of their continued improvement but although their playing season has ended, they still have a major goal of passing all their classes by the end of the grading period,” Arce-Torres said.
Several Taft 7-12 teams wrapped up the shortened ‘Fall Sports’ season last week as the athletes begin to shift to Spring Sports. Girls Soccer The Lady Tiger soccer team played a pair of games last week and closed out their season with back-to-back wins against a few competitive squads. On March 29, the girls made the trip to Sweet Home. Coming into the game against a larger team, head coach Joey Arce-Torres said the girls played a bit passive in the first half of the game, which resulted in no goals from either team. “In the second half, I only asked one thing of them, ‘be first to the ball,’” Arce-Torres said. “We came out energized. Chloe Peterson hit a perfect shot about 15 yards out from a free kick that hit nothing but upper net, a bullet. Avery Nightengale received a great through ball from Ryan Sou to put a second goal in, then hammered another one in before the Sweet Home defense knew what happened.” Defensively, Arce-Torres

help from back line players Olivia Coulter, MirandaHankins, Arianna Moralez and Aliviah Mode. “The team is improving every week and they are hitting their stride,” Arce-Torres said. “They now recognize how to win and how to practice effectively. It’s been a fantastic season and I am very pleased with their progress.” The Tigers ended the season against a depleted Amity team on March 31 in front of a home crowd. With the Warriors only able to field eight players, Taft matched the visitors by only playing eight of their own players. “It’s purely a sportsmanship move,” Arce-Torres said. “I was told by the Amity coach that only one other team showed that same sportsmanship during his season.” The first half was scoreless once again. Amity had a strong goal keeper who
deflected several attacks by Taft. In the second half, the Tigers spread the field and kept attacking the goal. “With brilliant passing and patience, Chloe Peterson finally got the scoring started,” Arce-Torres said. “Diana Lucas was knocked down attempting to place a pass to a team mate which gave us the free kick outside the box. Chloe struck a powerful hit that sailed over the keepers’ head and hit all net. It was a beauty!” Amity held tough, but ran low on stamina in the second half. Sayge Ulrich scored the second goal which came from a cross pass from Nicole Reyes. Ulrich was waiting on the far post and utilized her chest to hit the back of the net. “She and I had worked on her technique yesterday afternoon at practice, placing her in the goal and me smashing
The boys soccer team was also in action last week starting with a March 29 game at Sweet Home High School. Facing Sweet Home for the first time, head coach Ryan Ulicni said the team wasn’t sure what to expect after the roadtrip. “We went in with all the confidence to play our game,” Ulicni said. “We maintained solid control of the entire way through. Focusing more on our passing on the second half worked to our favor.” As their passing improved, the Tigers gained more scoring opportunities and netted five goals in total. Three goals came from William Caldron and Jose Flores and Mauricio Rivas each tacked on a goal of their own. When it was all set and done, Taft earned a 5-2 victory over Sweet Home. “These boys continue to impress what they can accomplish when they put forth the effort,” Ulicni said. “The pride and honor it is to be with this team is what keeps me trying just as hard as they do to improve ourselves together.” Facing a familiar opponent, Taft matched up with Newport for the third time
this year on March 31. Taking the first two from the Cubs, Newport avenged themselves by outscoring Taft 5-4 in a back and forth game. “In the end we just ran out of time,” Ulicni said. “These boys always give it their all and show great resilience each time they fall behind. If there was any fault it was in me not preparing them properly. We’re gonna learn and we’re gonna grow from this together. Next game we’ll be ready for anything.” Calderon once again led the Tigers in scoring, converting two goals with Sammy Vasquez and Flores each scoring a goal for Taft. The Tigers end their season this week with two home games against Delphian, April 6 at 4:15 p.m. and Yamhill-Carlton, April 7 at 4 p.m. Volleyball The Taft volleyball team also closed out the season last week with a win and lose against a couple of Lincoln County opponents. On March 31, Taft completed the season sweep of Waldport with a 3-0 victory. The Tigers were dominant against the smaller Irish squad, taking the first set 25-14 and following it up with wins of 25-19 and 25-18 respectively. The Tigers then traveled to Newport for a season finale with the high-powered Cubs on April 2. After dropping the first set 25-11, Taft battled to take the second set 25-21 to even the match. However, the unbeaten Cubs were too much for Taft as they took the final two sets 25-13 and 25-15 to win 3-1. The match was the last game for seniors Keeara Harmon, Jordyn Ramsey, Lilly Parker and Brooklyn Stamper.
