Change is in the wind
Science Pub introduces offshore wind energy HILARY DORSEY Editor
P
erspectives and complexities of responsible wind energy generation off the Oregon Coast was the topic of Oregon’s State University’s Science Pub meeting Monday, May 9. Flaxen Conway, director of OSU’s marine resource management graduate program and an Oregon Sea Grant Extension specialist, presented the issue. In her roles at OSU, she works with coastal communities, families and other groups. She works with multiple partners to provide coastal and statewide outreach and engagement. “My work focuses on collaborative learning,” Conway said. “How to build connections, how to build solutions together, how to build resilience.” Conway said this talk is just an introduction to renewable energy. All the renewable energy solutions have their positives and negatives, as they continue to evolve. “Energy, the ocean and offshore wind can look different depending on one’s perspective,” Conway said. “There’s lots of viewpoints.” Marine renewable energy is just
one solution. We need as many potential solutions as possible, Conway added. Research shows there is no one silver bullet. “Finding lasting solutions also takes creativity, it takes imagination, it takes careful consideration, recognizing what other challenges exist,” Conway said. Wind energy began at OSU and in Oregon in the early 2000s with a lot of research. There was some outreach and engagement during this decade. “This decade was kind of viewed as the first marine renewable energy gold rush,” Conway said. “In the 2010s, we had more research and development going on. We have a lot more collaborations happening.” In the 2010s, there was also the Pacific Marine Energy Center. There was 20 years of working collaboratively with many partners. “PacWave’s kind of a big deal,” Conway said. “PacWave North has an autonomous device testing.” PacWave South is the newest thing to come on board. It is the development of a test facility in Newport for

Lincoln City Parks & Recreation to receive $1M from State of Oregon
Lincoln County proclaims May as Treatment Court Month
L
incoln City Parks & Recreation (LCP&R) is honored to receive $1 million from the State of Oregon for the continued development of a new community park in the historic Taft District. This recent funding was granted by the state during the regular legislative session. LCP&R was one of several agencies in Lincoln County who will receive funding from the legislative “short” session that concluded in early March. The $1 million will go towards funding of the first community park built in Lincoln City in close to two decades and will also be the first community park in the historic Taft District (southern area of Lincoln City) alone. The current vision of the park includes new open-to-the-public outdoor soccer fields and multi-sport courts (basketball/ pickleball/ tennis) in Lincoln City. Also included in the park conceptual plans is a large covered outdoor special event area, which can convert to multi-sport courts. Since 2008, Lincoln City began talks with the Lincoln County School District (LCSD) to acquire the 6.71 acres, where the former Taft Elementary once stood, to build a community park. In anticipation of the park, the Lincoln City Urban Renewal Agency built a public parking lot with 61 spaces directly to the west of the park area. In December 2020, Lincoln City was able to purchase the land from LCSD. This $1 million in state funding comes in the wake of land surveys at the park land being completed by Lincoln City, so that landscape design may soon begin. Public open houses on the park design are being planned to start this fall, offering the public an opportunity to voice their needs in park amenities. Jeanne Sprague, LCP&R director, comments on the recent new funding: “We are excited by this funding, and greatly appreciative of the support by Rep. Gomberg, the State of Oregon, and our Parks & Recreation Advisory Board,” said Sprague.
“This funding is a result of true community action and advocacy. The voices in our community have asked to have this park built, we’re listening and we’re moving towards the goal line. The building of this community park in LC is needed, public sports fields and public sports courts are needed. With that, funding is needed to make this park happen. We thank Rep. Gomberg for his support of the health and wellness of Lincoln City and County.” David Gomberg, who represents District 10 in the Oregon Legislature, worked collaboratively with district staff, the Lincoln City Parks & Rec Board, and Sen. Anderson to champion funding for LCP&R. During the short session early in 2022, Gomberg helped plead the city’s case for funding that will go towards the new community park development. Rep. Gomberg comments on the recent funding allocation to LCP&R: “I’m convinced Taft Community Park will become a staple of this community, providing much-needed recreational space, opportunities for our kids, and new business opportunities for the Central Coast,” said Gomberg. “This is a visionary use of the space and we’ll see the results for decades to come.” For continued updates on the new community park development in Lincoln City, see https://www.lincolncity.org/ departments/parks-recreation/new-community-park-taft.

incoln County proclaimed May 2022 as Treatment Court Month during a board of commissioners meeting Wednesday, May 11. Treatment courts have been restoring lives and families for more than three decades. There are nearly 4,000 treatment courts nationwide and five in Lincoln County alone. They are the cornerstone for justice, the proclamation added. The proclamation states treatment courts serve 1.5 million people nationwide and 472 in Lincoln County alone. They are the cornerstone of justice reform and are now recognized as the most successful justice system intervention in our nation’s history. “Treatment courts significantly improve substance use disorder treatment outcomes,” the proclamation states. Judge Sheryl Bachart said an event will be held at 9 a.m. on May 24 at the Newport Performing Arts Center to
honor members of the treatment court community. There are so many participants in treatment court that the event had to be moved from the courthouse to a larger location. The treatment court has not been able to host this event for three years and has a lot of awards and recognition to give out. “In Courtroom 305, we have stars to represent each person that has graduated from one of our treatment courts,” treatment court coordinator Megan Bostwick-Terry said. “Since 2006, we’ve been having graduates. There’s 244 stars I believe.” The display is up now in the courtroom. Bostwick-Terry said it is amazing to see how many lives are impacted by treatment court. “I wouldn’t do this job if I didn’t think people could change,” Bachart said. “What treatment court does is give you an opportunity as a judge to connect with people.” Bachart said it is a huge time investment and is important work.

City postpones decision on waiving fees for Lincoln City Senior Center HILARY DORSEY Editor
Lincoln City Council voted Monday, May 9, to postpone deciding on whether to waive fees for Lincoln City Senior Center for the next fiscal year. The council asked the senior center to come back with more information at their first meeting in June before they make a decision. As of July 12, 2021, the city council desires to annual discuss, budget for and possibly donate the cost of city room facilities at the community center, utilized by the senior center. As of July 12, 2021, the council voted to waive fees for the senior center’s use of the city facility for fiscal year 2021-2022. Any decision for future fiscal years is based on a presentation by the senior center to the council to inform them of their programs and offerings. Last year, the senior center signed a five-year permit with the Lincoln City Parks and Rec-
reation Department from July 1, 2021 to June 30, 2026 with the caveats: subject to payment or waiver of fees by city council on an annual basis, subject to annual agreement of exclusive hours of use, and yearly insurance must be provided. President Anne Stephen has been on the board for four years and has been president for three. “The senior center, with the help of the Tribe, we do the Thanksgiving dinner,” Stephen said. “It’s all paid from the senior center. It’s not something that anybody else helps us with other than a $600 grant from the Tribe, which we have to match.” Stephen said with the COVID-19 pandemic, they were not able to host the dinner. Last year, they hosted a drive-by. “It was so successful that if we can’t do a dinner again this year, we will do the driveby,” Stephen said. “Over 200 people showed up. We ran out of food.” Stephen asked for another

The center lost some membership during COVID-19 and the Echo Mountain Fire but is starting to increase events and bringing members back in. Councilor Riley Hoagland said for fiscal year 2021-2022, the community center was given $168,000 for both the use of the small meeting room for 50 hours per week and the west wing meeting rooms for
98 hours per week. The senior center is requesting the same permit hours for fiscal year 2022-2023. Hoagland said this is the total cost of renting all the rooms for the time requested in the community center. The senior center had asked for use of the two rooms until 9 p.m. The center has some events in the evenings at times but not every week, staff said. Hoa-
gland said they are asking for a lot of time to use the community center. “This community center is under a great deal of pressure to generate revenue,” Hoagland said. The senior center has games, visiting hours, computers, a library with books that were donated, a kitchen, snacks for members, classes and more. Hoagland said it is helpful to know what is going on at the
building and would like to know in advance so they can generate revenue that the community center needs to make. The council requested more information on the programs of the senior center, as well as the hours they wish to use the building. The council will have a discussion the first meeting in June, on Monday, June 13. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
City awards $50,000 to local nonprofit agencies The City of Lincoln City will be distributing a total of $50,000 in checks to local non-profit agencies at 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 25. The presentation ceremony will be held in the city council chambers.
The following recipients will receive funds: My Sisters Place: $10,000 Oceana Family Literacy: $10,000 Family Promise: $10,000
Coastal Support Services: $5,000 N.W. Coastal Housing: $5,000 Humane Society: $5,000 Food Pantry: $5,000 The city receives funding requests from local nonprofits each year as part of its budget preparation process. Once the city council has approved the budget, a committee of city councilors reviewed the applications for funding and made recom-
mendations to the full city council as to which agencies should receive funds. “I want to thank the taxpayers and citizens of Lincoln City for allowing the City Council to distribute these funds to the nonprofits that are serving the needs of Lincoln City residents. There are never enough funds, but we know these checks will assist in the effort,” said Mayor Susan Wahlke.

Hit and run driver arrested after injuring man, damaging property Lincoln City Police arrested Darren Guffey, of Lincoln City, Monday, May 9, on multiple charges after causing a motor vehicle crash and fleeing the scene. Lincoln City police officers were dispatched at 5:15 p.m. on May 9 to a reported vehicle versus pedestrian crash around SW 51st and SW Ebb. Several witnesses called 911, reporting that a black Ford Mustang had struck a pedestrian and fled the location without stopping. The black Mustang was last seen driving south on Hwy 101. According to police, arriving officers found the injured victim, Patrick Brennan of Woodland, Wash., at the scene being helped by citizens. Personnel from North Lincoln Fire & Rescue and Pacific West Ambulance arrived and began medical treatment of Brennan’s injuries. Brennan was transported by Pac-West Ambulance to Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital for further medical treatment of his injuries and was later released. During the ensuing investigation, officers learned the incident began at the intersection of SW 50th and Hwy 101.
Brennan was a passenger in a Chevrolet Silverado pick-up that was waiting to turn right onto Hwy 101. While waiting to make the turn, a black Ford Mustang backed out of a Snug Harbor parking spot and hit the Chevrolet Silverado. Brennan and his son got out of the pick-up to contact the driver of the Mustang, police reported. As they did, the Mustang began to flee from the scene and Brennan jumped onto the back of the Mustang to prevent it from leaving. The Mustang sped away westbound on SW 50th at a high rate of speed with Brennan still on the back of the car. As the Mustang made a sharp left turn onto SW Ebb, the back of the Mustang began sliding from side to side, also known as “fish-tailing,” causing Brennan to be thrown off the back of the car into the street. The Mustang then fled eastbound onto SW 51st where it lost control and struck a light pole as well as several plant boxes located on the sidewalk. Witnesses reported the Mustang then looped around the center divider on SW 51st Street and started to speed
back towards where Brennan was lying in the street before several people intervened. The Mustang turned back eastbound on SW 51st Street and sped away while witnesses called 911. A license plate belonging to the Ford Mustang was found where the planter boxes were struck. Officers began searching for the Mustang and its driver, later identified as 47-year-old Darren Guffey of Lincoln City. Officers located the unoccupied Mustang parked in the Siletz’s Bay Park parking lot a short distance away. As officers continued searching for Guffey, they received tips from witnesses as to his whereabouts, leading to Guffey’s apprehension. Guffey was taken into custody and subsequently transported to the Lincoln County Jail where he was lodged on criminal charges including driving under the influence of intoxicants, two counts of misdemeanor failure to perform duties of a driver, felony failure to perform duties of a driver, assault in the third degree, reckless driving, reckless endangering, and criminal mischief. The investigation is still
open and anyone with information relating to this case is asked to contact Officer Hayden Tolzman at 541-9943636. The Lincoln City Police Department would like to thank all the alert citizens who helped
Conway said offshore wind is relatively new compared to onshore wind or solar energy. “The size of the machine is something to be aware of,” Conway said. The turbines are 1,000 feet tall, about the size of the Eiffel Tower. Conway said the type of offshore wind technology depends on the place. The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) plans to lease sufficient power generation capacity for 3 GW capacity. Another complexity is
the environmental complexity, Conway added. Collisions could happen with birds above water and with whales below the water. Noise is another potential environmental impact. A BOEM-funded literature review recently assessed that many of the environmental effects from floating offshore wind would be minimal or moderate.

wave energy technology. “This was created collaboratively with stakeholders like the commercial fishing community and local decision makers,” Conway said of PacWave. “It was a very thoughtful process.” Conway said there is a push for offshore wind energy in Oregon and the U.S., as it has the potential to combat the climate crisis. It began in 2014 when it was first proposed by Principle Power. There is currently no offshore wind energy in Oregon. The ocean is a public space
and has state and federal managed uses, Conway added. The ocean is a place with lots of connections. There are current uses and they overlap. “Fishermen use the entire ocean, not just portions of it,” Conway said. Ocean stakeholders/space users include fisheries, fiber optic cables, recreational ocean users, scientists, environmental groups, economic development groups, tribal nations, military, hazard response, the marine renewable energy industry and more.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Support for Ryan Parker for Lincoln County Commissioner position 3
M
y name is Rio Davidson and I am the owner of Cascade Coast Construction and Solar. We are building a single-family home on Highland Heights in Otis, to replace one lost in the 2020 Echo Mountain Complex conflagration. I’m writing to urge voters to support Ryan Parker for Lincoln County Commissioner, Position 3 for the following reasons: • Ryan Parker sees value in solar electric installations, and the benefit to carbonreduced electrical production that small-scale solar brings. I share his vision and urge the county to invest in community and commercial-scale solar arrays in Lincoln County. The economic benefit is potentially immeasurable. • Since he is working on the ground in natural resources, Ryan can best address plastic pollution that is a very large threat to ocean health, and the coastal economy at large. No other candidate has brought up marine debris as a campaign issue despite its provable harms to commercial fishing, and practical ways to reduce source points. • Ryan Parker spends much of his workweek advocating for better forest policy, so that property owners and agencies operating in Lincoln County can earn more
money on timber harvests, but conduct operations in a more collaborative, researchcentric way. Lincoln County tax revenues would increase if there were Forest Stewardship Council-certified operations here, on a larger scale. We need innovation and collaboration with the OSU College of Forestry, and Ryan would make that a priority. His experiencing with weed control is a skillset that the county currently is under-resourced with. • Water quality, clean air and quality of life. Ryan understands that many county residents live near forest operations that are not locally owned, and the value of residents to know their neighbors, work with them for better quality of life and fair access to county programs across Lincoln County. For these reasons and more, I’m voting to work towards making Ryan Parker our next Lincoln County Commissioner for Position 3. -Rio Davidson, Owner, Cascade Coast Construction and Solar Newport
Support of Doyle Canning
A
s current and former elected officials, we hear constituents clamoring for action on the cost of living in Oregon. Unaffordable housing is squeezing families, and wages aren’t keeping up as rents rise and inflation spikes. Oregon’s rate of homelessness ranks fifth in the country, with Eugene’s in the top ten. Oregon’s 4th district is facing an acute crisis, and our communities need urgent action to tackle worsening homelessness, evictions, and unaffordable rents and home prices. Doyle’s record on housing justice and solutions to the affordability crisis is one reason we support Doyle Canning for Congress. Doyle fought for years as a champion for affordable housing in Oregon and across the country. She helped found Homes For All, a movement to protect renters and build affordable housing; it successfully introduced the Homes for All Act in Congress. As this crisis intensifies throughout the 4th district — from Corvallis to Florence, from Coos Bay to Newport — we need proven leaders like Doyle Canning who have strong records on affordable housing advocacy.
Doyle’s record as a longtime advocate of climate action and a Green New Deal is another key reason for our endorsement. Doyle knows that we must address our housing challenges sustainably, taking this opportunity to build zero-emissions infrastructure and integrate new low- and moderate-income housing into a grid powered by renewables. She’s not just fighting for a future where everyone is housed — she is also demanding we all have access to clean air, clean water, and homes that won’t be destroyed by wildfire. This climate-conscious approach to the housing crisis embodies Doyle’s mission in Congress. On issues from a living wage to investing in rural communities, Doyle is committed to transformative investments that will making Oregon a leader in the modern green economy, with offshore wind powering communities on the coast and across the state, and with green jobs building the sustainable infrastructure of tomorrow. Furthermore, Doyle is the only candidate in CD4 who is not is not taking a dime from corporations, PACs, or fossil fuel lobbyists. Doyle’s stand against
corporate money in politics shows she can’t be bought. Doyle is the principled leader we need representing Oregon’s 4th district: her life’s work has been about issues of housing justice and climate action; and her progressive vision for the future is built on years of dedication, deep knowledge of the issues, and her commitment to urgent action. Doyle believes that climate justice, affordable housing, living wages, universal health care, and an inclusive, democratic political system just #CantWait. With ballots for the May 17 primary arriving on April 27, the time is now to elect Doyle Canning as our affordable housing advocate, climate champion, and next representative in Congress. -Claire Hall, Lincoln County Commissioner; Recipient of the “Home for Every American Award” by the US Interagency Council on Homelessness -Alissa Keny-Guyer, Former Oregon State Representative & former Chair, Oregon House Committee on Human Services & Housing
Response to ‘An Airbnb executive on leave is running for Congressional District’
I
write to correct the record about my work and my vision for our community and country. From my years at the ACLU to my time at Airbnb, I’m proud of the work I’ve done from coast to coast and in countries around the world to fight for civil rights, economic opportunity, national security, and a connected global community. At Airbnb, I worked on partnerships with the NAACP, SAGE, and many other organizations to promote sustainable, community-oriented tourism. I’m also proud to have worked for an employer that is always top of the list for LGBTQ equality, has housed hundreds of thousands of refugees worldwide, was invited by the Vice President to be one of a handful of companies recognized for progressive family leave and child care policies, and partnered with the National Domestic Workers Alliance to support living wage jobs. Furthermore, I have personally advocated for laws that extend taxes and regulations to the short term rental economy– laws that have served the needs of communities by providing tax revenue while also allowing homeowners to have the choice to rent their property within limitations. Do I agree with everything Airbnb does? No; just as I disagreed with some of
the positions of the ACLU and my old boss in government. But I’ve worked hard– at every job– to leverage the institutions of American power for the benefit of working people and I will continue to do so as a Member of Congress. Next, the claim about my financing is false. I have raised money exclusively from individual contributors – not corporate PACs– and only about 5% comes from folks I worked with at Airbnb. There is only one candidate in this race who is taking money from big banks and other corporate PACs and benefitting from over $500,000 in crypto-currency backed SuperPAC spending: Val Hoyle. All of this information is available to the public on the FEC website. I’m proud of the independence that I bring to every issue — always doing what I believe is best for people, never taking orders from party insiders or deeppocketed donors. I am asking for your vote so that I can make Oregon better, for your children and for mine. -Andrew Kalloch, Eugene Andrew Kalloch is a Democratic Candidate for Congress in the Fourth Congressional District.

Celebrating Cinco de Mayo
W
hat a treasure we have on the Central Oregon Coast. I am not just talking about the bountiful natural beauty we are surrounded by, but I am referring to the cornucopia of music, art, food, family and celebrations that lives amongst us in the Latino community. I was lucky to attend the Cinco de Mayo event at the
Lincoln City Cultural Center. WOW! Thank you one and all who had any part in what I would describe as a glorious offering. Thank you, amigos for laying before me such an abundance of spirit and good will. You lightened up these often dark days with your celebration of your cultural heritage and family values. What important lessons your culture brings to mine. How grateful i am that
we live in this county together and are able to share and enrich each other’s lives. MUCHAS GRACIAS Y BIENVENIDOS! -Dorothy Kucha, Depoe Bay

Commissioners meetings. In reference to the airport location, we too raised concerns along with the McCreas, FOLCAS, veterinarians, and many others. We feel the county officials listened – really listened – to all the concerns, as was evidenced by the determination to place a pause on the lease agreement with the City of Newport. Recently the CCHS met with Commissioner Jacobson, Sheriff Landers, and Shelter Manager Wynveen. The meeting was very positive and resulted in productive suggestions, alternatives, and ideas. We thank them. As we move forward, the CCHS encourages everyone to share their positive suggestions and ideas. We have a once in
a lifetime chance to have an even better, larger shelter that is and will be a safe haven for animals and a model for rural communities such as ours. Lincoln County is an animal loving county and that is attributed to the many citizens who have supported the shelter through lean years and better years. You speak for those who can’t. While we may not get the largest, ideal shelter right away, with the ideal number of volunteers and foster homes, we can certainly pull together and come darn close, then work on expanding capacity and programs. We’ve done it before. Let’s do it again. -Barbara Perry, president, CCHS

National Boating Safety Week May 21-27 During this year’s National Safe Boating Week, the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary Flotilla Depoe Bay is proud to join with the United States Coast Guard in encouraging all Americans to institute the safe boating practices necessary to enjoy our waters responsibly. For more than 60 years, raising awareness of safe boating procedures has helped reduce injuries and fatalities, even as the number of Americans spending time out on the water has continued to grow. Boat operators can help reduce the number of water-related accidents through proper preparation and sensible precautions. A free, voluntary vessel safety check conducted by the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary is an essential first step in ensuring a boat is ready for navigation on the water. Also, new boaters can take courses to learn how they can ensure that everyone returns from the water unharmed. Life jackets also remain indispensable in preventing drowning, which is the most common cause of boating fatalities. For this reason,
every vessel needs to be equipped with proper life jackets for everyone onboard, and they should be worn while on the water. Additionally, individuals must never pilot a boat while intoxicated and passengers should moderate their alcohol consumption as a precaution against accidents. By taking the necessary steps, we can make our waters even safer for all who enjoy them. The week of May 21-27, we call upon all boating enthusiasts to ensure that they are prepared to have safe boating experiences. Through preventative measures and responsible behavior, we can help keep everyone out of harm’s way while engaging in boating activities on our beautiful oceans, lakes, and rivers. If you are ready to get a vessel safety check for 2022, please fill out a request form online and submit it. A Coast Guard Auxiliary vessel examiner will contact you to set up a vessel safety check at your convenience. For more information, please visit http://cgaux.org/vsc to get started.

As the Spring 2022 term winds to a close, Oregon Coast Community College still has new Community Education courses on the horizon. June will bring two classes sure to keep your eyes on the skies: Birding and Kiting.
Rokkaku and You
In ‘Kite Making and Flying,’ a two-session class, participants will utilize a proven no-sew method to create their own unique, durable Tyvek kite. The first session includes design, concept and painting. In the second session, you will construct your kite. Taught by Lincoln City kite company owners, Ronda Brewer and Lindsey Johnson, the class promises to be fun, a creative time, (almost) no strings attached. The class will be held just before the Lincoln City Summer Kite Festival, and participants will be invited to bring their creations to join in the festivities and to fly their creations as one of Ronda’s Rookies. As one of her “Rookies,” you will be invited to participate in a Rokkaku kite battle with Brewer, a four-time American Kite Flyers Association Rokkaku Kite Battle Champion. The class is set for 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (bring a lunch!) Wednesdays, June 1 and 8. Cost is $30, plus a $35 materials fee. Register at oregoncoast. edu/communityed or call 541-994-4166.

Do you find yourself listening to an odd chirp while walking or gardening? Are you fascinated by the random rustlings in the bushes? Do you notice and enjoy the birds in your world, but wish you knew more about these clever and busy neighbors? This is just the class for you. Participants will learn how birds behave, so it will be easier to find, watch and identify the type you are seeing. Bird identification,
adaptions and habitat will be introduced. Birds

The spring season has been busy at Oregon Coast Community College’s Community Education program. In Waldport, county residents have discovered their inner oil painter, with help from instructor Georgina Nielson, while others have sharpened their skills – and their pencils – at Sean Hollenhors’ General Drawing Skills class. In Newport, players are gathered around square tables for Mah Jongg with Barbara Bush, while others are planning for the inevitable, with Brian Haggerty’s Estate Planning course. Meanwhile, in Lincoln City, the halls of OCCC’s North County Center ring out with the sounds of Tahitian Drumming with Lewis Smith, and acoustic guitar with Richard Paris, while down the hall, a much quieter groups learns knitting with Rachel Yoder. If you have a talent or passion you’d like to share with your neighbors, consider teaching a community education class at OCCC.

Pelican Brewing Company releases beer created with Beachcrest Brewing
Pelican Brewing Company’s 2022 Coastal Collaboration series continues with the release of Volume II, a Triple Cold IPA created in collaboration with their coastal neighbor, Beachcrest Brewing of Gleneden Beach. Beer lovers can feel good about drinking this crisp and refreshing triple hopped IPA as 100% of the proceeds from this beer benefit the Siletz Bay Music Festival, a nonprofit organization specializing in bringing multi-genre world-class music to the Central Oregon Coast to uplift and educate all people seeking extraordinary musical experiences. The second Coastal Collaboration beer came to life through the close friendship of two Oregon Coast locals and brewers who live on the same street. Pelican R&D brewer Scott Mohr and Beachcrest brewer and coowner Matt White met over three years ago and have been collaborating on beer ever since. “Scott is genuinely a great friend and amazing brewer,” said White. “When Scott asked me to do this collaboration, I was floored. It was a new experience to step into his world at the Pelican Brewery and learn about their standards and processes for creating their beers. It was special to brew together at Pelican.” For this beer, Mohr and White set out to create their version of the popular hybrid ale, the Cold IPA. Using three different hop varieties - Nelson Sauvin, Idaho Gem, and Huell Melonthey created a robust but drinkable Triple Cold IPA inspired by white wine that engulfs your palate with notes of white grape and honeydew melon and finishes fast and crisp. With Pelican’s commitment to cre-
ating positive change in their coastal communities, 100% of the proceeds from each beer sold will benefit a coastal organization that is equityfocused, chosen by the collaborating brewery. “We chose to support the Siletz Bay Music Festival because it provides the youth of Lincoln City opportunities to play, learn, and perform music,” said White. “Music is important for kids as it exposes them to other cultures and broadens their experiences beyond their local community.” This brilliant straw-colored beer with assertive bitterness and balanced finish is now available in 500 mL bottles at your local bottle shop, on draft at Pelican brewpubs and Beachcrest Brewing, and through Pelican’s 2022 beer subscription service called the Beer Box.
About Pelican Brewing Company
Pelican Brewing Company was born at the beach in 1996. Here, in front of a rundown old building at the water’s edge, stood three enthusiastic young folks whose thirst for great beer overshadowed their understanding of what it would take to build a brewery. They did it anyway. Thanks to the vision of founding owners Jeff Schons, Mary Jones and brewmaster Darron Welch, Oregon’s only beachfront brewpub became one of the state’s most popular destinations. And now 26 years later, Pelican Brewing Company is an iconic beach brand and one of the most decorated craft breweries in Oregon. Pelican has been honored with more than 450 awards, including the prestigious 2015, 2016, 2017 Australian International Beer Awards Champion Medium International Brewery;
Lincoln City’s largest and most trusted news source.
2014 World Beer Cup Champion Small Brewery; 2013 Great American Beer Festival Large Brewpub of the Year. Why? Pelican brews are playful, but not frivolous. Brewed with purpose, passion and a deep respect for the craft. Pelican operates brewing and brewpub facilities in Pacific City, Cannon Beach, and its state-of-the-craft brewery in Tillamook, Oregon where it brews 40,000 barrels of award-winning beer annually and distributes to six states. Pelican’s vision, its beer and values were born at the beach, where the team wakes up each day in a place that reminds them that amazing is possible. Cheers, Fellow Fanatics!

OBITUARIES Carmen Chang Lanegan
Bernard “Bernie” Lynam
June 30, 1939 – April 6, 2022
April 30, 1943 – April 6, 2022
Carmen Chang Lanegan was a force to be reckoned with. There wasn’t a person she encountered who did not experience the power and love in which she lived her life. It is with tremendous sadness that her family shares the news of her passing on April 6th, at the beautiful age of 82. After years of battling with her health, she is finally able to rest in peace and re-unite with her former husband, Richard Lanegan, and her sweet baby Shih Tzu, MeiMei. Her gentle spirit, feisty
nature, and unwavering faith will be sorely missed. She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten. Carmen was born in Honolulu, Hawaii on June 30, 1939, eventually settling her roots on the Oregon Coast. She was the glue of the Lanegan ‘Ohana — so much so, that her sisters followed in her footsteps to remain close to her. She was a kind soul and reveled in caring for others. Through her nursing career and entrepreneurial ventures in owning two Curves, Carmen was an example of a strong, altruistic woman. In her free time, Carmen enjoyed spending hours in her garden, tending to her array of plants and flowers, many of which had Asian elements. When she wasn’t creating magic with her green thumb, she could be found skunking people left and right in one of her favorite games, Cribbage. Or quilting a beautiful piece for a beloved friend or family member. Carmen married Richard W. Lanegan on Aug. 8,
1959, and together they raised four children. She is survived by her children; Riki Lanegan, Bonnie (Joseph) Katich, Christopher Lanegan, and Sean (Jennifer) Lanegan. She is also survived by her brother Augustin (Caryn) Lactaoen and sisters: Frances (Elliott) Higgins and Celeste (Paul) O’Brien. She was fortunate to experience a long, beautiful life that graced her with many grandchildren and great grandchildren, all of whom looked up to her and admired her for her strength and the way she set an example. She will be remembered for her patience, humility, and the enduring love she held for her family. We remember and celebrate her life at Mass which will be held at 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 28, 2022, followed by a reception in the parish hall at St. Augustine Church in Lincoln City, Ore. — 1139 NW U.S. 101, Lincoln City, OR 97367. Family and friends are welcome.
Bernard Andrew Lynam, known to all as “Bernie,” died after suffering a sudden heart attack at his home in Depoe Bay, Ore., on April 6, 2022. He was 78. Left in Bernie’s vibrant wake were scores of saddened family members and friends who will forever recall his decency, probing intellect, wry humor and readiness to help neighbors with their household emergencies. Above all, and to all who knew him well, he was a beloved friend. Born April 30, 1943, in
New York, N.Y., Bernie was puckishly bright, once startling his parents by taking apart and rebuilding the family clock just to see how it worked. It was hardly surprising that he was among the seminal generation of computer “techies,” leaving college for a fast-track job with IBM that sent him to the far corners of the globe. His character was revealed by tragedy, however, when his first wife died, and he began the difficult balancing act between a dazzling career and raising two daughters as a single father. Whenever he was on the road, he made himself reassuringly available to his girls, but he finally drew the line at the disruptive relocations, embracing fatherhood and leaving Big Blue. It was a serendipitous move. Recruited by a hightech manufacturer in the Philadelphia area, he met his future wife, Barbara Leff, a few desks away at his new office. The couple remained in love and devoted to each other for the next 33 years. Bernie’s career
path eventually led them to Portland, Ore., and finally to retirement in Depoe Bay in 2000, where the longtime dream of running a small-town hardware store took shape as “Bernie’s Hardware.” While retail success eluded Bernie, he emerged after three years resilient as ever with a shop full of projects. His artistry in all things mechanical secured his reputation as the city’s “fix-it guru,” responding day or night to solve emergencies. The town recognized his indefatigable loyalty to the community by naming him Man of the Year in 2009. Meanwhile, Bernie’s broad shoulders supported Barb throughout her meteoric and stressful political career as city councilor, mayor and fire board member. “He was my rock,” she stated. Bernie is survived by wife Barbara and two daughters, Michele, a financial administrator at Oregon State University, and Joanne, who recently married and lives in Tracy, Calif. A memorial service will be announced at a later date.

Connecting Oregonians through letters
STAFF REPORT
The isolation of the COVID pandemic and the strident partisanship of national politics have left many Oregonians feeling disconnected and alone, according to Oregon Humanities, an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and a partner of the Oregon Cultural Trust. Oregon Humanities brings people together to talk, listen, and learn from one another, according to the organization’s administrators. Dear Stranger is a letter-exchange project from Oregon Humanities that offers a chance for connection by inviting Oregonians to write letters with someone they’ve never met. “In good times, bad, and everything in between, sometimes it’s hardest to share our innermost thoughts with those closest to us,” Oregon Humanities Dear Stranger project director Lucy Solares-Steger said. “Dear Stranger offers a chance to share a fresh perspective with a stranger in the world and receive one in return. It provides an opportunity to reach out and find community, listen to one another, and learn from each other.” The aim of Dear Stranger is to create shared understanding among Oregonians with different backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs. The premise is simple: Write a letter, get a letter, and make a new connection.
Oregon Humanities has operated Dear Stranger since 2014, with each round of the project asking writers to address a different question or theme. In the most recent round this past winter, 69 people from 28 communities across Oregon exchanged letters. This spring’s prompt for writers is about care: “What do you care about, and why? Who do you care for, and who cares for you? Does this feel like a choice or a given? Where do you see care, and where do you notice its absence? Prompts for writing and instructions for participation are available on the Oregon Humanities website at oregonhumanities.org. Letters are swapped anonymously, and each person receives a letter from the person who received the one they wrote. What happens next is up to the writers. If they’d like to write back, they can do so through Oregon Humanities. Letters should be addressed to Oregon Humanities, Attn: Dear Stranger, 610 SW St., Suite 1111, Portland, Oregon, 97205. Oregon Humanities will exchange letters mailed by June 30, 2022. Oregon Humanities launched a similar letter exchange project in the spring of last year. For more information about the Dear Stranger project, visit programs@oregonhumanities.org.

In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Oregon Coast Community College will host a workshop and faculty lecture on the art of ink brush in the East Asian tradition. Art instructor Sachiko Otsuki will guide students and community members through the art of using East Asian ink, brush, and paper for them to enjoy. The adjoining lecture will be a brief introduction to the history of the East Asian writing system. Shodō “Way of Writing” is usually translated as Japanese calligraphy. However, ink works are not limited to writing in East Asian cultures. Historically, writing and painting were often considered a set to show certain aesthetics. Sho (writing and script) and Ga (painting and drawing) have been developed thousands of years as a form of representation method by lines. The intention of the event is to foster curiosity about other cultures through a hands-on activity. No previous experience or skill is required to participate. Community members are welcome to attend the workshop on Monday, May 23, held at the Central County Campus

Fentanyl, Opioid Response Toolkit: New resource for schools STAFF REPORT
The overdose reversal drug Narcan may soon accompany the Band-Aids and tongue depressors in nurses’ offices in schools across Lincoln County and statewide. In a Thursday, May 12 press release, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and the Oregon Department of Education (ODE) announced the release of a Fentanyl & Opioid Response Toolkit for Schools to support educators, administrators, school nurses, students and families, following a period of record-breaking accidental overdoses in Oregon. The toolkit provides information about how schools can create an emergency protocol to administer naloxone, also known as Narcan. Included in the toolkit is information on how to access, administer and store the life-saving opioid overdose prevention medication. The toolkit also contains resources to support staff training, prevention education and other resources essential to developing and implementing school emergency response procedures. “The resources in this toolkit can save lives,” said ODE Director Colt Gill. “We strongly encourage schools to adopt policies and practices for safe and effective management and prevention of opioid-related overdoses in schools. When drug-related emergencies occur in or around schools, proper response is critical to save lives.”
Counterfeit pills
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from May 2020 to April
2021, deaths due to accidental overdose surpassed 100,000 for the first time on record. Sixty-four percent of those deaths were attributed to illicitly manufactured fentanyl, which often comes in the form of pills that closely resemble prescription oxycodone or benzodiazepines such as Xanax. In Oregon, fentanyl-related overdose deaths increased by 74% from 2019 to 2020, for a total of 298 fentanyl-related deaths in 2020. “Rising opioid overdose deaths are a public health crisis, and schools are the heart of Oregon communities. Unfortunately, this trend is expected to continue, as Oregon has continued to see an increase in accidental overdose deaths due to fentanyl,” OHA Director Patrick Allen said. ODE cautions that pills obtained from social media, the internet, or a friend could be laced with fentanyl, advising youth to steer clear from pills obtained from any source other than a trusted pharmacist. There are clear signs that point to an overdose, according to ODE. Whether or not the victim is responsive is a key indicator. Other signs of an overdose include slow, shallow, or no breathing, pinpoint pupils, heavy gurgling or snoring sounds, cold or clammy skin, inability to wake up, or blue or gray skin, lips, or nails. Counterfeit pills may be blue, greenish, or pale, and be marked as “M30.” Visit the Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division for resources: www.oregon.gov/ oha/ph/preventionwellness/substanceuse/opioids/ pages/naloxone.aspx.
Hatfield Science on Tap returns in person but retains online option
After two years, Hatfield Science on Tap returns to its live, in-person format at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 19, in the Gladys Valley Marine Studies Building auditorium at the Hatfield Marine Science Center in Newport. Food and beverages will be available for purchase from 5-6 p.m. before the talk begins. The May speaker is Dr. Scott Baker, OSU professor and the associate director of the Cetacean Conservation and Genomics Laboratory. Baker will talk about an expedition he took to investigate whales’ recovery around South Georgia Island
and the genetic analysis of bones scattered along the island’s shore from whales killed more than 100 years ago. In the early 20th century, commercial whaling killed more than two million whales in the Southern Hemisphere alone. The center of this slaughter was South Georgia Island, an essential summer feeding ground for humpback, blue and fin whales. It has now been more than 50 years since the last whale was taken from the waters of South Georgia. Baker’s research team aims to learn if the whales have begun to return to South
Georgia or were they truly extirpated. In-person and online: While the Science on Tap talks has returned to an in-person format, an online option is still available. The Zoom webinar link is https://oregonstate.zoom. us/j/92816420727. The webinar ID is 928 1 642 0727. Or people can call to listen to US: +1 971 247 1195.

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 —
