Taft’s team had whole chicken, red beans and zucchini. Taft’s team did not practice with the beans and zucchini before but brought some tested recipes the team picked from and adapted to use with the new ingredients. The team made an appetizer-sized portion of BBQ chicken,

The team won first place for the watermelon zucchini salad. “It was quite amazing to see them work so well together and have intrinsic motivation to do their best work,” CTE instructor Julia Westbrook said. “I was very happy to see the amount of work, effort and energy they put into it before and during the competition.

hursday evening, April 21, David Jamieson, president of North Lincoln Fire and Rescue Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) started the first of an eight weeklong series on emergency best practices for personal safety and community preparedness. Twenty students signed in for the first class. Classes are being hosted by Oregon Coast Community College

(OCCC), north campus. The first order of business was to have teams of four members construct a manikin in 15 minutes or less. All the teams did this in the time allotted. The manikins will be given special medical attention during units three and four in the following weeks. Special thanks to Joyce Etherton, who collected the necessary clothing, stuffing, tape, pens

and scissors. If you or a family member would like to be a part of this opportunity to increase your knowledge of emergency preparedness, please contact Raul Grimes at publicinformationofficer@ northlincolncountycert.org. Plans are being made for another set of classes either in Lincoln City or in Newport, both supported and sponsored by OCCC.

ewport City Council discussed Monday, May 2, noise concerns from adjacent residential properties regarding the South Beach Church. City Manager Spencer Nebel said that at the April 18 city council meeting, the homeowners, Sharlene Chavez and Amy Bendel, shared their concerns about the impact loud music coming from the church has on the quality of life at their homes located east of South Beach Church. They expressed their frustration with the lack of response from the police department and specifically, the lack of response following the meeting with the police department and the city manager in March. Nebel followed up with a meeting with staff from the South Beach Church to discuss the concerns. “After that, I followed up with the homeowners that were at the meeting to discuss the results of that,” Nebel said. Spencer said this is an issue that has been going on for 10 years. After discussions, steps that are planned include any noise complaints reported to the police will be investigated and if loud noises are verified, the church will be cited. The music levels will be reduced until effective sound deadening steps can be taken. The main times for sound production or live music will be limited. In verifiable loud music complaints persist, the Urban Renewal Agency could terminate the lease prior to the fall of 2023. Bendel said since bringing the issue to the council on April 18, there

has been minimal noise. If there is any noise, the homeowners will call the police. Chavez added that in the last two weeks, it has been a great neighborhood and hopes it will continue. Pastor Luke Frechette said sometimes the music duration is two hours on Thursdays for worship rehearsal. On Sunday mornings, music is played for about 25-30 minutes. The church planned to have a full band for Mother’s Day on Sunday, May 8. They have not had a full band the last couple of weeks while adjusting the sound. “There are ordinance requirements and then there’s also the lease,” Nebel said. “The ordinance requirements have specific decibel limits.” Under the noise ordinance, there are standards for noise levels during the day and night within industrial zoned areas being allowed a higher decibel standard. The church is located in a light industrial zone. In the lease, there is a provision that indicates that any tenant cannot create a disturbance to neighboring properties. The best scenario is if the church can reduce their volume and limit it to certain times, Nebel added. “The church shall refrain from any use that would be reasonably offensive to other lessees or owners, users of neighboring premises or that would tend to create a nuisance or damage the reputation of the premises,” City Attorney David Allen read from the lease. “That’s the lease language that the church has agreed to with the Urban Renewal Agency.” The council said they would be in touch with the situation.

National Nurses Week is May 6-12 in Lincoln County HILARY DORSEY Editor

Lincoln County proclaimed May 6-12 as National Nurses Week in Lincoln County. The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners read and approved the proclamation during a meeting Wednesday, May 4. The proclamation states that in 1974, the president of the United States issued a proclamation declaring National Nurses Week, which is traditionally celebrated the week of May 6-12. There are nearly 3.1 million registered nurses in the United States, which comprise the nation’s largest single component of

the health care profession. The demand for registered nurses will be greater than ever with the aging of the American population, continued expansion of life-sustaining technology and the growth of home health services, the proclamation adds. This year’s theme of National Nurses Week is “A Voice to Lead – Invest in nursing and respect rights to secure global health.” “Each of you are familiar with the tasks a nurse will do throughout their shift, working on weekends, holidays, missing children’s sporting events, birthdays and other activities,” said Jamie Russell, Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office lieuten-

ant and jail commander. “This profession, no matter where you choose to work, is a 24-7 operation.” Russell said no two days are the same. “The staff that makes up your corrections health team are eight individuals, who at any point throughout their shift, may wear one of many hats,” Russell said. Individuals are incarcerated for many different reasons. Some of the common medical needs are detox, wound care, chronic disease, mental health and diabetes. “We are fortunate in Lincoln County to partner with Oregon Coast Community Col-

lege, which allows nursing students to work one-on-one with our nurses,” Russell said. “This partnership allows for these students to better understand

the profession of corrections health nursing.” Dr. Crystal Bowman, director of nursing and allied health at Oregon Coast Community

College, said she looks forward to increasing enrollment in the program. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

OCCA gives update on activities since reopening after COVID-19 restrictions HILARY DORSEY Editor

Oregon Coast Council for the Arts gave an annual update regarding the activities of OCCA during a Newport City Council meeting Monday, May 2. OCCA manages the city-owned Performing Arts Center and Visual Arts center under contract with the city. Executive Director Jason Holland began his position during the COVID-19 emergency. In the report, he details where the organization was a year ago and where they are now. Holland states the first challenge in 2021 was to get the Newport Visual Arts Center and Newport Performing Arts Center reopened as soon as COVID-19 restrictions would allow. OCCA drew on resources from the city and county, as well as industry best practices from arts centers across the country to understand how to operate while keeping everyone safe. The Visual Arts Center opened with reduced hours in January of 2021, after being closed for about six weeks. The Performing Arts Center opened for its first performance in July of 2021, with reduced capacity, after being closed for one year. “For a period of time, it was interesting to see jury selection and trials happen inside the Performing Arts Center,” Holland said. “I think it was a perfect example of how we all just had to pivot during COVID.” The statewide impact on the arts and culture

sector in Oregon was significant, with a 32 percent drop in paid positions in the arts from 2019 versus 2021. Earned revenue went from $118.3 million in 2019 to $27 million in 2021, Holland reported. After being shuttered for a year, efforts were made to improve the operational efficiency of the organization. Redundant or out of date software and services were eliminated. “We started collaborating with community partners, which I think is really at the heart of what we do,” Holland said after the organization opened back up last summer. The Performing Arts Center is seeing more performances. Holland said it has been great seeing audiences in the theater again. “The new kiln is functional at the VAC,” Holland said. “That’s allowed for a number of classes to happen.” There will be a play camp for kids for six weeks this summer. “We have a new Artist in Residence Program starting with Yaquina Head Outstanding Natural Area starting next month, which is the first time we’ve done that,” Holland said. Over the next 12 months, OCCA will lead the charge for Lincoln County’s participation in the 6th Arts & Economic Prosperity study. This is a national study of the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry, as well as the event-related spending by patrons. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net

Cascade Head Retrospective exhibit opening, presentation What: Cascade Head Retrospective exhibit opening and presentation by Catherine Dunn of The Nature Conservancy When: 1-2 p.m. Saturday, May 14 Where: The North Lincoln County Historical Museum (NLCHM). 4907 SW HWY 101 in Lincoln City Cost: Free (seating is limited to about 35 people, first come, first seated) Contact: NLCHM, 541-996-6614 In 1940, Earl Nelson (son of the cofounder of Nelscott) and two friends went on a hike around the rocky coves north of the Salmon River and up Cascade Head. Thankfully, Nelson took his camera with him and snapped beautiful black and white photographs. These photographs were donated to the museum by renowned local artist and friend of Nelson’s, Ruth Grover, in 1998. In this exhibit, we explore multi-faceted perspectives of Cascade Head through Nelson’s photography. These impressions start with the Nechesne (also known as the Salmon River Indians) through the lens of early traders, settlers and authors. The Nechesne were the southern band of the Tillamook Tribe and lived well off the land until they were devastated by disease and by their forced removal at the hands of white settlement. You will also find many quotes from the early settlers who farmed on Cascade Head and along the Salmon River. This exhibit opens at 1 p.m. Saturday, May 14, with a presentation by Oregon Coast Preserves Steward for The Nature Conservancy, Catherine Dunn. She picks up where the exhibit leaves off and will discuss the evolution in The Nature Conservancy’s conservation efforts at Cascade Head over the last 40-50 years. This includes their intensive cataloguing of the rare coastal meadow species and protected special areas, habitat restoration and prescribed fires as a management tool. She will also describe their current effort on recreation management/planning, which becomes increasingly important as the hike becomes more popular. Seating for this hour-long presentation is

They are very proud.” Westbrook said the culinary arts program has attended the Cook Around the World competition six times now. “In our previous trip in 2019, we won first place for dessert,” Westbrook said. “It was the first time we had ever placed.” Westbrook said they were in shock and excited for the win this year. “The students did an amazing job preparing with little motivation needed,” Westbrook said. Leaders of the team were Joey McCormick, Spencer McClure and Nathaniel Rivera. Once they saw the mystery

ingredients, they decided the menu, adapted recipes and solved problems, including making ketchup for the barbecue sauce for the main dish when ketchup was not provided. Westbrook added that the leader led the team with great communication. Students that participated in the competition: Elizabeth Melo, Aaliyah Weitzel, Dylan Rodriguez Barrera, Nathaniel Rivera, Logan Lee, Joseph McCormick, Adam Domingo, Spencer McClure, Alan Ochoa, Logan Johnson, and Ulices Alvarado.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support for Kaety Jacobson for county commissioner I am supporting the re-election of Kaety Jacobson for County Commissioner in the primary election on May 17. While I was the Health Department Director for Lincoln County, I had the good fortune of working closely with Kaety during the Covid pandemic and the Echo Mountain wildfire. In both cases Kaety worked so hard to assure that County staff and the citizens in Lincoln County got what they needed to respond to these two horrific events. She would call the Governor to help us get the resources we needed, she pitched in at the mass immunization clinics, she set up an office in Lincoln City to have better access to the people affected by the wildfire, wrote grants to restore the water system at Panther Creek, assisted in septic tank replacement and assuried that mental health issues were addressed due to the trauma. Kaety has helped to bring in over 18 million dollars in grants to Lincoln County. Kaety gets stuff done.

This is the kind of tried and true leadership we need on the Board of Commissioners. Kaety is familiar with the issues facing our County, she has actually helped bring in money for housing in Lincoln City, added another permit tech for the planning department. And once the judge lifts the stay on the Shortterm Rental proposal passed in November, she will champion the implementation to assure cohesive and prosperous communities. Kaety understands what the job entails. We are lucky to have a Commissioner who is willing to listen, learn and work to improve our community. Kaety has been endorsed by the Oregon League of Conservation Voters and the Central Oregon Coast NOW chapter. I am adding my voice to endorse a hardworking Commissioner willing to build bridges with local and State partners to help our community thrive -Rebecca Austen, former Lincoln County Health Department director

D River welcome center I read some time ago that the D River Wayside is the most popular one on the coast. Currently, unless you arrive very early, you will never find a parking place due to its popularity. As a local who’s lived here for many years, I appreciate the need for tourist attractions but must the city council zero in on one of the few places in our town where the ocean isn’t hidden from view by hotels and condos? Build your welcome center somewhere else, perhaps on the east side of 101 or in the old

Goodwill building next to Grocery Outlet. It’s been vacant for years. The tourists will find it. It’s a shame that the permanent local population always takes a back seat, if any, when the city council gets free money. -Leoda Barr, Lincoln City

Response to President Biden President Biden just said on National TV that I, an elderly senior citizen, am in the most extreme political movement in all of US history. He called it the Maga Party. I am a terrorist. I am a deplorable. I hate gay people and lgbtq people. I am disgusting because I believe in America First. All I can say to the most popular American President with 81 million votes is thank you. I must clarify a couple of items though. I do not like organized hate groups that specialize in looting and violating laws like the BLM terrorist group or the Ku Klux Klan that terrorizes minorities or any one person or group that tries to dominate citizens that do not agree with them.

I don’t hate gay people nor do I hate lgbtq people. I don’t agree with them or their lifestyles but that’s as far as it goes. President Biden is a Catholic who has changed his mind and now believes in abortion. I am a Catholic who believes in no abortion. I just want people to allow different beliefs and religions and respect each other. Why is that so outrageous? It breaks my heart that America is breaking apart and choosing violence and hate over peace and love. Please learn tolerance and please learn that all lives matter. -Elizabeth Burletson, Lincoln City

Lincoln County opioid problem It’s so refreshing to read Judge Bachart’s recommendation to hire more police detectives to combat the growing drug abuse. In Portland, where I reside, the homelessness is rampant and crime is out of hand. Graffiti is everywhere, adding to the dismal condition of this once beautiful place. My only hope is that more people would

understand the reasons for this situation (defunding police and legitimizing drugs) and act swiftly and firmly to correct it. Wake up Oregon! -Steve Giurlani, Portland

Support for Walter Chuck for county commissioner I write this letter in solid support of Walter Chuck for Lincoln County Commissioner. As the retiring Commissioner currently holding that position, I know Walter is clearly the most qualified candidate and has earned and deserves your vote. Walter presently serves as a Port of Newport Commissioner where he has demonstrated the critical analytical skills, knowledge, expertise and leadership to strongly represent all of Lincoln County. As a Port Commissioner he has effectively addressed infrastructure needs in re-building port facilities, managed personnel challenges and proven to be fiscally prudent in spending taxpayer dollars. He is actively engaged in efforts to improve transportation, ocean policy, renewable energy and maritime industries, all of vital

interest to Lincoln County. One of Walter’s greatest strengths is his experience in working with other agencies at all levels of government where he is respected and well known. This background and involvement will enable him to “hit the ground running” as a newly elected County Commissioner to advocate for the needs of our county, communities and people; invaluable connections when dealing with homelessness, behavioral health services, and the myriad complex issues faced as a commissioner. Please join me in voting for Walter Chuck for County Commissioner. His experience, knowledge and leadership will serve our county well. -Doug Hunt, Toledo

Support for Casey Miller I am writing this letter in support Casey Miller running for County Commissioner. I have known Casey for about eight years and have found him very reliable and helpful in his capacity as Communications Officer for Lincoln County and fellow citizen. I have seen him approach his work professionally with integrity and follow through. As far as the pressing environmental issues that face Lincoln County, of which I’m very concerned, I find him open to listening and willing to learn what will help him in his decision-making process in order to find workable

solutions that will benefit the citizens, businesses and the larger natural world we are graced with here on the central Oregon coast. In addition, he appears to grasp the importance of securing affordable housing for our workforce, is compassionate for our struggling community members and has a balanced approach to both the positive and negative aspects of the tourist industry as far as livability for residence go and encouraging a robust economy for us. His experience as an employee of the County for the last seven years gives him the advantage of know-

ing how the system works as well as having a personal relationship with many of his co-workers which I would imagine would facilitate his effectiveness as a commissioner. I believe Casey Miller paired with Kaety Jacobson and Claire Hall would make a dynamite team to see to the needs and workings of Lincoln County. -Bill Kucha, Depoe Bay

Support for Casey Miller for county commissioner seat As the Mayor of Siletz Oregon, I am officially supporting Casey Miller as he is running for county commissioner seat. I have known Casey for many years

but only known him close since I dove into politics 4 years ago. I am a hard person to get close to but Casey busted through and became a friend very quickly. Life

boat fishing for steelhead, he has never failed to take my calls and be there for Siletz. I truly believe Casey is a community of Siletz supporter and a friend. I hate this time of year because in such a small and close community, to pick a candidate to support, you are not supporting another person that you know and like. But with Casey, this is an easy decision to make because I trust and believe in him. As mayor, it’s my job to do the best I can for the City of Siletz and often this means, getting to know who really has our back. I believe Casey has a great heart and will continue to be there for us when things get crazy. I have had many conversations with Casey and know that, though we don’t always see things exactly the same, we are not ever far off. And Casey has earned that respect for me to

listen and ask for advice. He has guided me through advice, past some tough issues. I think in such an unprecedented time in our country’s history, it’s extremely important to surround ourselves with people we can trust, that will lead us in the right direction. I believe Casey Miller is that person we can trust. It’s very important to know that we have someone in the commissioner’s office with the drive and stamina to be boots on the ground and keep a level head while making the tough decisions. Casey has supported Siletz in so many ways in the years I have known him that this seems like a no brainer to give him my support. I hope come election day you will go to the polls and give him your support as well. -Mayor Will Worman, City of Siletz

Oregon’s unemployment rate drops to 3.8 percent in March Oregon’s unemployment rate dropped to 3.8% in March, down from 4.0% in February, continuing its rapid decline of recent months. The March unemployment rate is well below the 6.1% it reached a year ago and is the lowest since prior to the pandemic-induced recession two years ago, in March 2020, when it was 3.5%. The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.6% in March and 3.8% in February. In March, Oregon’s seasonally adjusted nonfarm payroll employment rose by 5,600 jobs, following a revised gain of 9,700 jobs in February. In March, gains were largest in construction (+1,500 jobs), financial activities (+1,400), leisure and hospitality (+900), other servic-

es (+900), manufacturing (+800), and government (+700). The only major industry to cut a substantial number of jobs was professional and business services (-900 jobs). Construction reached another record high of 117,500 jobs in March. Since March 2021, construction added 6,100 jobs, or 5.5%. Over the year, construction of buildings added 1,900 jobs, or 10.8%, which was the fastest growth rate of all construction component industries. Building equipment contractors also grew rapidly, adding 3,100 jobs, or 9.9%, during the past 12 months. Financial activities employment was boosted by the hot real estate sector. Real estate and rental and leasing added

1,400 jobs in March to reach 50,300 jobs. Meanwhile, the steadier finance and insurance was flat at 56,700 jobs, near where it has remained for the past dozen years. Leisure and hospitality cooled, at least temporarily, its rapid comeback of the past two years. Despite only adding 900 jobs in March, it is up 38,400 jobs since March 2021, which accounts for more than half of the private sector’s job gains in that time. Professional and business services cut 900 jobs, but at 256,500 jobs, the sector was still near an all-time high. In March, administrative and waste services cut 1,800 jobs, after adding nearly as many in the prior two months.

Presentation on marine heatwaves, coastal fishes On May 12, Jessica Miller, OSU professor of fisheries, wildlife, and conservation sciences, will talk about a very pertinent issue, marine heatwaves. Marine heatwaves are increasing in frequency and intensity around the world. From 2014 to 2016, anomalous atmospheric conditions resulted in the largest known marine heatwave in the northeast Pacific Ocean, and another heatwave occurred in 2019. These extreme ocean warming events impacted all levels of the food web, resulting in reduced condition of many marine species. The abundance of Pacific Cod in the Gulf of Alaska declined by more than 75%, leading to the closure of the fishery and a disaster declaration. Jessica Miller and her colleagues are documenting how this heatwave affected the growth and condition of Columbia River Spring Chinook salmon and the growth and phenology – or timing of life history events – of Pacific Cod in the Gulf of Alaska. They combine field studies with laboratory analysis of fish ear stones, which are balance and orientation structures that lay down daily growth rings, to age fish, determine their hatch date, and reconstruct their growth and migratory history. Miller will provide an overview of what we are learning about how these ecologically and economically important species responded to these extreme ocean temperatures, which are

predicted to occur regularly under future climate change scenarios. Jessica Miller is a professor in fisheries, wildlife, and conservation sciences at Oregon State University. She is also a member of the Coastal Oregon Marine Experiment Station and leads the Marine and Anadromous Fisheries Ecology Lab in Newport. Her research focuses on ecology of marine and anadromous fishes, with an emphasis on how environmental and climate variation affect their growth and survival. She received a BA in Zoology from the University of Montana, a MS in Fisheries from University of Washington, and a PhD in Biology from the University of Oregon. The talk will be at 7 p.m. May 12, hosted on Zoom, and is free to the public. The zoom link is https://us02web.zoom. us/j/83353175742 or on the Facebook event at www.facebook.com/lnwc1. You can also contact the watershed council at info@nehalemwatershed.org. A recording of this presentation will also be posted on the LNWC’s YouTube channel with our other recorded presentations.

Habitat for Humanity of Lincoln County (HFHLC) is building sheds for wildfire survivors as part of the Echo Mountain Fire recovery. This effort is funded by a $20,000 disaster services grant from Habitat for Humanity International and State Farm®. Additional support is being provided by Thompson Sanitary through

an in-kind contribution of space to construct the sheds. Nearly 300 homes were destroyed when the Echo Mountain Complex Fire roared through the region in September 2020. The recovery effort is still under way with many homeowners still in the process of rebuilding. “The Echo Mountain Fire had enormous and lasting impact on the Otis community,” said Lucinda Taylor, president of the Lincoln County Long-Term Recovery Group

(LCLTRG) and HFHLC executive director. “The grant from Habitat for Humanity International and State Farm will help fund our recovery efforts. In typical Habitat style, we’re also looking for volunteers to help with construction.” State Farm is pleased to team up with Habitat for Humanity to support recovery efforts through this grant,” said Apsara Sorensen, corporate responsibility director at State Farm. “Part of the State Farm mission is to help people re-

cover from the unexpected. We hope this disaster services grant goes a long way in helping the Otis community recover from the Echo Mountain Fire.” HFHLC worked closely with disaster case managers to identify eight households in Otis with a verified need for sheds. Many survivors are selfemployed and need a secure place to store their tools-oftrade. For others, these sheds will be used during construction to secure tools and equipment on-site. Others simply need secure storage space for garden tools and other household items. HFHLC is partnering with Career Tech High School and Lincoln City Young Life to bring together local youth to build the sheds using prefab kits. Youth volunteer opportunities will be available throughout the month of May. The public is also invited to volunteer on this project. Weekend work parties are scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. May 14, 21, and 28. For more information or to volunteer, call 541.574.4437 or email office@habitatlincoln.org. State Farm and Habitat for Humanity are providing up to $100,000 in grants for disaster recovery projects that engage youth. State Farm has been a supporter of Habitat for Humanity International’s youth initiatives since 2007.

Lincoln County is set to receive $114,720.29 in timber revenues from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM of Oregon/ Washington has announced $29.4 million in payments to 18 western Oregon counties, including Lincoln, under the Secure Rural Schools and Community Self-Determination Act. The payments are made in lieu of timber harvest receipts based on a formula set by Congress.

DRIVERS WANTED! Tillamook County Transportation District is looking for drivers for Lincoln City routes. A valid drivers license and 3 years of driving experience is needed to apply.

“We’re committed to sustainable forest management as part of our multiple-use and sustained yield mission,” BLM Oregon/Washington State Director Barry Bushue said. “This work supports local economies and provides family-wage jobs for our neighbors, and with the funds we are able to support critical community services like education and public safety.” The BLM manages 2.4 million acres of Oregon and California Railroad Revested Lands in 18 western Oregon counties for sustainable timber harvest. The lands are some of the most productive timberlands in the world, according to a BLM release. In addition to sustainable timber harvest, BLM-managed forests are

home to valuable fish and wildlife habitat, world-class recreational opportunities, cultural and historic resources, and wild and scenic rivers. Of the $29 million, roughly $2.6 million will be set aside for cooperative Title II projects. Authorized by the Western Oregon Resource Advisory Committee, the projects aim to improve the health of public lands, and can include wildfire hazard reduction, stream and watershed restoration, forest road maintenance, road decommissioning or obliteration, control of noxious weeds, improvement of fish and wildlife habitat, and opportunities for youth training and employment, according to the release.

Something powerful and beautiful is rising from the ashes across our state. Our communal hardship has rekindled in us one of our greatest and most unifying strengths — kindness. So elemental, yet so brave. Awakened by an urgent need for connection and compassion. Kindness has inspired us to listen. To learn. To lend a hand. To take care of each other. Now we have the opportunity to keep it lit. Let's not let it smolder. Let's fan the embers in our hearts. Let's keep kindness at the forefront of our lives, and live as open examples of it. Kindness inspires kindness. And here, in our Oregon, that is what makes us —
