County appoints interim board member for Central Oregon Coast Fire & Rescue HILARY DORSEY Editor
L
incoln County designated Ray Woodruff to serve as interim board member of Central Oregon Coast Fire & Rescue. The Lincoln County Board of Commissioners made the appointment during a special meeting Thursday, June 30, after discussion during a board meeting on June 29. The board of commissioners ranked the eight candidates based on experience, training and involvement in the community; understanding of the role and responsibility of a board member; and commitment to the position/organization.
Chair Claire Hall’s top two candidates were Zach Akin and Greg Dunn. Commissioner Doug Hunt said the commissioners need to make a decision based on qualifications. “I think we need someone who has demonstrated leadership,” Hunt said. “Someone who has the experience being part of a governing organization and somebody that has some understanding of the current situation, maybe some history of the fire district. I’ll also say that I think this is
other example of where a recall has been used for the wrong purpose.” Hunt said he does not believe the purpose of a recall is because an individual or group has made a decision that is not popular. He believes recalls have been used too frequently for the wrong purpose. The June 7 recall election recalled board
an-
members Todd Holt and Kathryn Menefee. Hunt’s top two candidates were Woodruff and Dunn. “I actually had a four-way tie,” Commissioner Kaety Jacobson said. Jacobson’s top candidates were Cheri Brubaker, Dunn, Woodruff and Akin. Hall said by ranking, Woodruff was first and Akin was second. The board appointed Woodruff to the board of the Central Oregon Coast Fire & Rescue. Send comments to: newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net.

Lincoln City approves budget HILARY DORSEY Editor
L
incoln City adopted the budget for Fiscal Year 2022-2023 during a city council meeting Monday, June 27. The budget in total is $86,660,501. Finance Director Debbie Bridges asked the city council to correct an error in the facilities capital fund. The approved budget has $594,288 in contingency. This should be in capital reserve. The council approved the budget change to remove it from the contingency in the facilities capital fund and add it to the capital reserve. Bridges said the power washer used by public works does not work anymore. “The request would be in the general fund to increase transfers out by $10,000 and reduce contingency by $10,000 and then into the street operations fund to increase transfers in by $10,000 and increase capital outlay by $10,000 so that the streets fund has the funding to purchase a new power washer for public works,” Bridges said. “The funding is actually coming from the general fund contingency.” Public Works Director Stephanie Reid said this would be replacing the power washer they have now. It is also used by the parks department. While other departments use the power washer, Bridges believes it is used primarily by the streets department. It is a one-time expense. The council agreed the transfer the $10,000 to purchase the power washer. The council also discussed adding a code enforcement officer to the budget. Bridges said it is not included
in the budget, but it is recommended for the city council to look at revenue sources to fund for an officer. Mayor Susan Wahlke said possible funding would come from an increase in vacation rental dwelling (VRD) revenue. “At this point, we’d like a little more time to make sure we’re addressing comprehensively the code enforcement program and just everything holistically so that we don’t ask for something and that’s not quite what we need or not enough,” City Manager Daphnee Legarza said. Bridges said if it was decided to add a code enforcement officer later, it would be funded with the revenue of the vacation rentals and passed through a resolution. The budget already covers a community services officer. This position is basically a police assistant that can also assist with code enforcement. “I don’t want to be pulling LCPD resources for issues with VRD,” Councilor Elaine Starmer said. “We have a hard enough time keeping you guys staffed for the really important LCPD work. We shouldn’t be pulling you for VRDs.” Legarza said she needs time to fully understand how much enforcement on is happening now with the planning department, what the software looks like, and more, and present information to the council for feedback. The council approved the budget with a vote of 4-3. The council also elected to receive state revenues for fiscal year 20222023, set forth the water and sewer rates and adopted the supplemental budget for fiscal year 2021-2022.

The Fourth of July holiday represents the most significant single-day contribution of litter and marine debris on Oregon’s beaches – often with increased litter and debris in the days leading up to and following the holiday. Debris from fireworks and holiday celebrations poses significant ingestion and entanglement risks for marine life. Parks and recreation remain committed to keeping our beaches clean for all to enjoy safely.

The Road to Medicare There are some wonderful things about growing older and believe or not, turning 65 and becoming eligible for Medicare is one of the grooviest aspects of aging. We gain access to the health insurance benefits we have been paying for via taxes, all our working lives! Health insurance benefits under Medicare are robust and comprehensive. Also, the cost of Medicare and related insurance plans can be much less expensive than under 65 health insurance. There are plans available for $0 cost – yes, you read that right –
zero cost. Some Medicare insurance plans include great benefits like dental, vision, alternative care, drug coverage, meal benefits… even gym memberships. There are also plans which pay almost all medical expenses not paid by Medicare, leaving you with no additional co-pays or co-insurance limits for medical treatments and services. How groovy is that? As you approach your 65th birthday, it’s important to remember that your eligibility for Medicare begins three months prior to
your 65th birthday, the month of, and three months after your birthday. You may enroll in Medicare direct with Social Security, or you may work with an agent (like myself) who will assist you with enrollment and explain your Medicare insurance options. The road to Medicare can be a smooth ride if you plan ahead and learn about your options. Knowledge is power so take your time and discover the great benefits Medicare plans offer, then choose the right plan for your lifestyle and budget.

Lincoln City animator presents new animated short Mitchell Santine Gould has been dreaming of portraying the great American poet Walt Whitman in an animated short since 1994, when he added a very simple Whitman animation to his book, “Windows 95 Multimedia Programming.” Years of effort since then, and the increasing sophistication of software, have finally made it possible. Gould, the mind behind Lincoln City’s General Picture Animation, is a well-known Walt Whitman scholar who runs a website called LeavesOfGrass.Org. He was invited to showcase his latest work during the June 19 online marathon reading of Whitman’s most beloved, ambitious and sprawling poem, “Song of Myself.” After others read the first four stanzas, Gould streamed his animated version of the fifth stanza. The marathon’s director, NYU Professor Karen Karbiener, praised the “heart and mind” Gould invested in his film ahead of the event, adding, “It will be a high point in our 19 year legacy!” Because of Whitman’s historic associations with Quakerism, the work has attracted the admiration of Quaker scholar Chuck Fager, who found that “it evokes much of Whitman’s continuing appeal and mystery: his modest origins, comfort with nature in all its aspects, unabashed sensuality, human warmth, and easy, encompassing untheological mysticism.” Gould’s animated characters Walt Whitman and his most important but most mysterious lover, Fred Vaughan, are currently on view in the Lincoln City Cultural Center’s Annual Members’ Show “Glow.” The animation can be viewed on General Picture’s YouTube channel, https://www. youtube.com/user/AltWhitman Gould, together with his husband Rusty Keller, operates Lincoln City’s five-star and most unique vacation rental, Lakeheart Art Deco Guesthouse. They expect to have an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony this summer.

Increased emergency SNAP benefits continue in July Most Oregonians who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits will receive emergency allotments in July. The federal government has approved emergency allotments every month since March 2020. This gives SNAP recipients additional support during the COVID-19 pandemic. These emergency benefits are a temporary support that Oregon can provide because of the federal COVID-19
public health emergency. Because the federal government approved these emergency benefits for July, Oregon will also be able to issue them in August. However, the emergency benefits are expected to end when the federal public health emergency ends. In July, approximately 422,000 SNAP households will receive approximately $68 million in extra food benefits in addition to their
regular SNAP benefits. “We know that many rely on these additional emergency food benefits to get enough healthy food for themselves and their families,” said Claire Seguin, deputy director of the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), Self-Sufficiency Programs. “We also know that many Oregonians are still struggling to meet their basic needs and we encourage them to contact our partners at 211 and the Oregon Food Bank for support during this difficult time.” Current SNAP households will receive emergency allotments on July 12. Emergency allotments will be issued July 29 or Aug. 2 for households who did not receive benefits in the first monthly issuance. SNAP recipients do not have to take any action to receive these supplemental benefits as they will be issued

LETTER TO THE EDITOR City of Depoe Bay issues
I
’ve worked with the former city recorder of Depoe Bay, Barbara Chestler for several years. I have admired her dedication, professionalism and hard work in trying to fix the financial disaster the city was left in after hiring a city council member to handle their finances. Months went by without accurate financial reports, audits, budgets, payables were ignored or discarded. Payroll taxes not paid, credit ratings were lost and fines were imposed. The citizens read those articles. Barbara Chestler managed to get the city back on track and the council was more than eager to share the praises of her hard work. Barbara was always at city hall, evenings, weekends and even holidays. It’s a sad day that the city has implied there might be wrong doing on her final pay. Does the council not sign checks? Do they
not approve payables prior to disbursement? Did the HR/Payroll staff employed by the city make a mistake? Oh, that’s right, she quit too. I would be asking those important questions before I publicly humiliated a person. So here we go again with serious financial woes for the city. Council members probably doing work they should not be doing. Conducting illegal public meetings in private and possible retaliation against a former employee for filing a complaint. Shame on you. I think the city has made the news too many times and not in a good way for its residents. It’s an embarrassment to say the least. -Patsy Ingram, Depoe Bay
Deception, prejudice, bullying
S
upreme Court, shame on you! You have brought more shame to our already turbulent nation. Just what does a landmark decision stand for, anyway? Not only should your tenure not be for your
lifetime, but also you should be periodically and randomly required to take a sort of ‘litmus’ test to see what is determining/undermining your thinking. This majority decision reeks of deception, prejudice and bullying.
I am saddened. The sense of overwhelm is closing in. Just who can be trusted? -Leslie Suva, Lincoln City

Samaritan healthcare caregivers take a stand as a union for quality care SEIU LOCAL 49
H
ealthcare workers at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital (SNLH) who are members of the healthcare union, SEIU Local 49, voted overwhelmingly to approve a settlement with Samaritan management on a new union contract. The 115 workers–including ER techs, certified nursing assistants, respiratory care practitioners, radiologic technologists, phlebotomist, pharmacy technicians, patient access representatives, housekeepers and dietary staff–were united in their commitment to raise staffing and safety standards, improve healthcare for patients and employees, increase wages, and expand education funding. As caregivers dealt with early pandemic hospital closures and wildfire losses in 2020, they united to advocate for working conditions and pay that they believe will improve the staffing needed to provide quality patient care the community deserves. Workers focused on gains that would help recruit quality, compassionate caregivers, and retain highly skilled and experienced staff, seeking recognition for their dedication and commitment in keeping the coastal community safe. “This has been a long two years of dealing with the pandemic and the impact of the wildfires on our community. We knew that we had to see real
gains in the contract to be able to attract and retain highlyskilled caregivers to provide the quality care that our community deserves,” says Brittany King, CT Special Imaging Tech, Samaritan North Lincoln. Ms. King shares, “We had just opened our new hospital the month before everything closed down due to the COVID pandemic, so when we reopened, we had to learn a new space, along with new processes and procedures to keep the community safe through the pandemic. Then the wildfires shut us down again and our community lost homes, creating a housing shortage. I feel very fortunate that we were able to bargain our contract this year so people can afford to live here.” Samaritan healthcare workers won wage increases that reflect the value of their contributions to our community. The average wage increase over the life of the contract is 22.48%, with an average 10% increase the first year, or an average raise of $2.42/hour. Some caregivers are receiving as high as 23.9% the first year. “I’m overwhelmed with the gains in wages that we’re receiving, “ says Patricia Tutt, Sterile Processing Tech, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. “I’m receiving a 12.75% right away and it’s going to make a huge difference in my life! I will be able to breathe a little and just live and work without the worry and stress of wondering whether

I will be able to keep a roof over my children’s head. I’m proud of how we remained united to win a great contract.” “We’re glad to see improvements that bring wages here on the coast to equality with Samaritan jobs in the valley. We know how hard it is to attract and retain skilled staff and we need solutions that support people living and working in Lincoln City,” says Susan Peters, Intake Coordinator, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. “We love our community and providing quality care for our patients and it’s great to see the recognition for our dedication

through these tough times.” Healthcare workers also spoke up to control the high costs of healthcare for employees at Samaritan Health and made some progress by winning guaranteed health insurance premiums and a stronger voice on the job to advocate for enough staff to provide high quality patient care. “I’m proud that we were able to get guaranteed health insurance premiums through the life of the contract and a seat on the Health Insurance Advisory Committee,” says Kelly Taylor, Patient Financial Counselor, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital. “Keeping healthcare costs contained and ensuring that we have a say in keeping healthcare insurance affordable is important to keeping staff and families healthy. We need to stay healthy so we can be there for our patients.” “We’re glad we won such a strong union contract so that we can keep up with the changing times and see Samaritan North Lincoln be a viable employer for the community,” says Brittany King. “We look forward to building the strength of our Union while working with Samaritan management through our Labor Management Committee, staffing committee and
healthcare committee to create an environment that supports the health and wellbeing of our patients, staff, and community.” “As a union of frontline caregivers, we increasingly see Samaritan Health Systems making centralized decisions that impact local community hospitals like North Lincoln,” says Meg Niemi, President, SEIU 49. “This contract is a step in the right direction for coastal caregivers to be treated with the respect and equality they deserve. Along with SEIU members at Good Samaritan in Corvallis, Albany General, and Pacific Communities in Newport, caregivers at North Lincoln are committed to continue to make sure Samaritan is a great place to work and receive care.” Samaritan healthcare workers remained dedicated to their communities in providing quality patient care throughout the COVID pandemic, placing themselves and their families at risk of contracting the disease. Workers united to win solutions to address key priorities for fair and competitive wage increases, keeping healthcare costs contained, and union members will continue to advocate for protections against COVID and hazard pay for their dangerous work.

Coastwide late berry crop leads to problem bears A late salmonberry crop means hungry black bears are a problem for many of Oregon’s coastal communities. Salmonberries are typically ripe in May but the extended cool, wet spring on the Oregon coast slowed or disrupted that process. In many areas, the berries still have not ripened, and in some areas the pollination seems to have failed resulting in few berries available. Thimbleberries are behind schedule on the north coast although if forecasted clear weather occurs there may be hope for the upcoming huckleberry and blackberry crops. Hungry bears, determined to eat, are digging into residences’ garbage, bird feeders, BBQ grills, pet food, chicken and livestock feed and in some instances, killing livestock. Bears attracted to humans for food can become a safety concern when they attempt to break into homes or approach people. ODFW wildlife biologists coastwide have their hands full with bear complaints. They say the best remedy is prevention and urge coastal residents to secure food, gar-
bage and recycling. Help keep bears wild by following these BearWise tips: • Never feed or approach bears • Secure food, garbage and recycling • Remove bird feeders when bears are active • Never leave pet food outdoors • Clean and store grills • Alert neighbors to bear activity Use bearproof garbage cans if they are available from local waste management or keep garbage and recycling secure until collection day. Electric fencing is also an effective deterrent. A bear habituated to human foods and other attractants may become extremely aggressive defending those food sources and pose a threat to human safety. When prevention measures fail to deter these bears, they are humanely euthanized, and the meat donated to charities. Securing attractants around your property is vital to keeping Oregon’s bears safe and where they belong—in the wild. For more information on black bears and tips for living with them, check the

Health Matters by Samaritan Health Services
Coastal Phoenix Rising breathes new life to those in crisis Life can throw some serious obstacles at you, some out of your control and some by your own poor choices, said Jeff Sutton of Lincoln County. Fortunately for him — and many others in distressing situations — help was available through Coastal Phoenix Rising, a program supported in part by Samaritan Health Services. A phoenix is an immortal bird of mythology symbolizing rebirth and growth. And the acronym, CPR, was intentional, said Sheila Stiley, executive director of Northwest Coastal Housing, the nonprofit that operates the facility. “I selected the name of CPR not just for the medical treatment, but as a place that breathes new life and new beginnings to those in crisis,” she said.
Jeff Sutton’s story Sutton was one of the first residents at Coastal Phoenix Rising when it opened in May 2021 in Lincoln City. He agrees that CPR has given him the opportunity for a different and, hopefully, better life. In a note handwritten by Sutton in September 2021, Sutton said: “In addition to the excellent health care given me by Samaritan Health, Coastal Phoenix Rising has been instrumental during my ongoing recovery by providing a safe, clean, warm and stable environment, allowing me to focus on the goal of achieving a full recovery. Their support, guidance and the availability of many resources I would have never known about otherwise has enabled me to progress from the wheelchair to a walker, then to the cane.”
Sutton describes his life’s path as 30 years of bad choices followed by five years of being wiser, saner and sober. While living in Simi Valley, California, his third wife divorced him and moved with their three young children to South Beach, Oregon. In 2019, he took medical retirement from his work after being diagnosed with congestive heart failure. That was a good time for him to move closer to his children in Oregon, finding an apartment to rent in Newport. Early in 2021, he was nearly felled by two major heart attacks, spent six weeks mostly bedridden at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, then had an emergency amputation of half his left foot after it turned gangrenous from poor circulation. During this time, he lost his apartment.
How CPR helped Sutton could not be released from the hospital without a home to return to and a caregiver to assist. So, he was referred to Coastal Phoenix Rising. This former 42-bed motel in the heart of Lincoln City offers care to discharged hospital patients, to survivors of the Otis wildfires, and to others needing a safe place, resources and guidance to become self-supporting once again. “When I first arrived here, I was wheelchair-bound, frequently needing assistance to go from the chair to my bed, and vice versa,” Sutton wrote. He describes CPR as “nothing but a positive experience.” Now, Sutton is able to walk without any assistance and is actively looking for a new place to rent — not an easy task these days, with housing shortages throughout the county.
Jeff Sutton was one of the first residents at Coastal Phoenix Rising. Another bit of good fortune: he was hired by CPR to work the front desk three nights a week and is able to remain in his room until he can find a rental. He commented that he has never before been called a “success story” but feels like those words could apply to him now. “I believe that the comfort, food resources and caring staff at CPR have helped me immeasurably, allowing my ongoing recovery to be successful enough to surprise even my doctors. I literally owe CPR and Samaritan Health more than I could ever repay for saving my life,” he wrote. Learn more about Coastal Phoenix Rising at nwcoastalhousing.org.

Newport Performing Arts Center kicks off a new season of National Theatre Live
James McAvoy (“X-Men” and “Atonement”) returns to the stage in an inventive Olivier Award winning adaptation of “Cyrano de Bergerac,” captured live in 2020 from the West End in London and broadcast in HD on screen at the Newport Performing Arts Center in Newport. Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all - if only he could win the heart of his true love Roxane. There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Will a society engulfed by narcissism get the better of Cyrano - or can his mastery of language set Roxane’s world alight? Most people know Edmond Rostand’s 1897 play “Cyrano de Bergerac” as a romantic, swashbuckling classic, staged with swords and capes and a big prosthetic nose. But a reimagined production with film star James McAvoy as Cyrano, dispenses with all that. Instead, there’s beatboxing, a multiracial cast in modern dress and Scottish actor McAvoy with his own regularsized nose, rapping about how very large it is. Cyrano tells the story of a romantic triangle — the poetic soldier Cyrano loves the beautiful and witty Roxane, who in turn loves the handsome, but tongue-tied Christian. So, Cyrano helps the young man win Roxane by providing him with the words he doesn’t have. “This is about three people who are objectified and who suffer because of their objectification,” said McAvoy. “Whether they’re objectified because they are beautiful or ugly or not. It’s about the feeling. And I think that not having the nose allows us to see all their pain. And wit. And passion.” The spartan staging, where actors frequently speak into microphones and sit looking directly at the audience, instead of each other, provides a feeling of closeness. “From an acting point of view, it makes eye contact feel so intimate,” said Evelyn Miller, whose Roxane is portrayed as a college student wearing a denim jumpsuit. “To turn and look [at another actor], after doing a five-minute scene where you haven’t looked at them at all — you’ve just been listening profoundly and intensely — to suddenly turn and make eye contact feels so intimate.” Listening to the language profoundly and intensely in this contemporary adaptation is what director Jamie Lloyd is after — not just for the actors, but for the audience. “We paint on the back wall ... a particular sentence that Cyrano says: ‘I love words. That’s all,’” he said. “And in
a way, that became the kind of defining idea of the entire production; it was only about the words, in a play that features characters that are obsessed with language.” He says they use language in ways that can be wonderful or damaging. At one point, Cyrano wins a duel, purely with his linguistic gifts. You don’t need to see a sword to know that he’s cut his opponent to the quick. Lloyd commissioned playwright Martin Crimp to write the adaptation. Since Crimp is fluent in French, he read the Rostand in the original. “The thing that I responded to most strongly as a writer is the language, is the virtuosic display,” Crimp said. “One rule [for me] was that the rhyming couplets were really important. If I got rid of those, I’d be throwing out the baby with the bathwater.” Lloyd highlights the language in different ways: Because the actors talk directly into their microphones, they can speak softly and everyone in the theater can hear them. “In many ways, it’s more like screen acting than stage acting,” he said. “And, in fact, even more than that, it’s more like radio acting.” For McAvoy, the style of
this nose-less “Cyrano,” which he won an Olivier for Best Revival in London, forces audiences to lean in. “I’ve never experienced silences in the audience like this,” the actor said. “I’ve experienced pauses and things like that. But the silence in the audience is unbelievable.” Performance will be broadcast at 7 p.m. Friday, July 8. This presentation of “Cyrano” is made possible with sponsorship from Porthole Players.

Lincoln County unites to keep beaches clean during the Fourth of July holiday The Fourth of July holiday represents the most significant singleday contribution of litter and marine debris on Oregon’s beaches – often with increased litter and debris in the days leading up to and following the holiday. Debris from fireworks and holiday celebrations poses significant ingestion and entanglement risks for marine life. That’s why several partners including local and county government, waste haulers, environmental nonprofits, community groups, and the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department have teamed up to host a series of Fifth of July Cleanups throughout Lincoln County. The group will host more than a dozen cleanups on July 5. Most of the cleanups will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visit https://x.gldn.io/ Surfrider_Newport_Oregon to find a cleanup near you. “Even though fireworks are not allowed on Oregon beaches, every year our beaches are littered with fireworks shells and other trash generated by holiday celebrations,” said Bri Goodwin with Surfrider Foundation. “Until folks stop littering, we will continue to
rely on volunteers to clean our beaches before the trash gets washed to sea or ingested by wildlife.” Volunteers are asked to bring their own buckets and gloves but supplies will be provided for those that do not have their own. “This effort is our coastal character in action – mindful community members coming together to make a difference in Lincoln County and beyond,” said Paul Seitz with the Lincoln County Solid Waste District. “This unique collaboration has drawn on the strengths and expertise of so many groups that are coming together across sectors to keep our beaches clean.” The groups involved in this effort are: Lincoln County Solid Waste District, the cities of Depoe Bay, Lincoln City, Newport, Siletz, Toledo, Waldport, and Yachats; Dahl Disposal Service; North Lincoln Sanitary Service, Thompson’s Sanitary Service, Lincoln County, Surfrider Foundation, Explore Lincoln City, the Waldport Chamber of Commerce, SOLVE, Rotary Club of Newport, Roads End Improvement Association, and Oregon Parks and Recreation Department.
Toledo extends welcome to Brent Belveal for the 2022-2023 school year Lincoln County School District is proud to announce the return of Brent Belveal to a new position as the interim principal of Toledo Jr. Sr. High for the 2022-2023 school year. Toledo Jr. Sr. High will also have two assistant principals: Kathy Beyer (formerly of McMinnville High School) and Chloe Minch (formerly assistant principal at Newport Middle School). Brent Belveal shares a letter of introduction with all the Toledo families and students: “Good morning, families and Toledo students, I look forward to serving the Toledo community as the 2022-23 Principal at Toledo Junior/Senior High School. My passion and professional history are built around being
a servant leader with the goal of helping students find their own best ‘next steps.’ I’ve always had an open-door policy with the intent of hearing all perspectives to develop the best possible outcomes for all. I have a lot to learn about Toledo, and I will lean on the school and district staff and Toledo community to find the best ways to serve the staff, students, and community. History: I am just finishing my 40th year in education. I taught business, some math, and a little PE for 25 years before moving into administration. I was an assistant principal at West Albany HS for four years and then the principal at South Albany HS for eight years. I retired in 2018 and worked for AVID as a staff
developer and consultant in Oregon, Washington, and Utah for two years. In 2020-21 I was hired in Lincoln County to help launch an alternative school for middle school students and provide administrative support at Newport Middle School. Due to some health concerns that have since been resolved, I ‘re-retired’ in June of 2021. In 2021-22, I was asked to step in as the interim principal at Philomath High School and have truly enjoyed guiding the school out of some challenging times to a very solid position and helped hire the new principal and assistant principal at PHS. During my teaching career, I coached football and wrestling and served as a head wrestling coach for 20 years. I’ve been married to Candy for
44 years and have two daughters -- one is a teacher in Scio married to a machinist, and the other is a hair stylist married to a teacher in Albany who just recently changed careers to become a Linn County deputy officer. I have three grandchildren (Harper, Olivia, and Brock) who bring much joy into my life. Thank you for the opportunity to serve your school and for the opportunity to engage with your students. I look forward to meeting you and welcome your input as we begin planning for a great school year in 2022-23. I strongly believe that one kind, caring adult can make all the difference to our students. Let’s have a great year and grow together in 2022-23.”
