NORTH LINCOLN FIRE & RESCUE
It takes great courage to help others in need, and for local citizens Austin DePaolis and Zachary Bickerdyke, they didn’t hesitate when they saw Lincoln City police officers in danger. Just after midnight on July 16, LCPD officers were dispatched to a fight, involving multiple people on Hwy 101 at D River. Lincoln City native Austin DePaolis had been traveling southbound on Hwy 101 when he observed the fight and was calling 911when he saw Officer Jim Hoydic arrive on scene. Several of the people involved ran away from the scene, but as Officer Hoydic exited his vehicle, one of the males involved in the fight immediately attacked Officer Hoydic, landing a tremendous blow to the officer’s head and face. Officer Hoydic deployed his baton, landing several

An investigation of the July 4 fire that destroyed the Otis Café, outside of Lincoln City, has determined the cause to be spontaneous combustion of kitchen waste. Multiple agencies collaborated for the fire investigation at the Otis Café, at 1259 Salmon River Highway (Hwy. 18). The fire investigation team was comprised of agencies in Lincoln County and the area Deputy State Fire Marshal of the Office of State Fire Marshal, who are trained in fire investigations. The Lincoln County fire investigation team included North Lincoln Fire, Newport Fire, the Newport Police Department, and the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office. The Newberg Police Department assisted with video retrieval, which supported the investigation. Fire-damage evidence indicated the fire’s origin See FIRE, Page A2
Westmark follows calling to serve others through her faith and leadership funding campaign and oversaw the building of a preschool that serves up to twelve students at a time. Westmark was recently honored with the annual Faithful and Fruitful Pastor Award for the Oregon Pacific District of the Church of the Nazarene. She was selected from more than 200 pastors in the Western half of Oregon. “She just exemplifies both those characteristics,” said Dr. Stan Reeder, Superintendent of the district. When Westmark, “took the church, it couldn’t afford to pay her a full time salary. She made that sacrifice to give full attention to the church,” despite having very little personal income. This, he said, exemplifies Westmark’s faithfulness. The way the church has grown while under

From the time she was a small child, Reverend Kelli Westmark had a strong relationship with God. She knew Jesus loved her, felt it deeply, and needed to share with others that message. “When I was three years old my mom worked as a secretary at the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene,” Westmark recalls. “I would bring all my stuffed animals (to the church) and line them on the platform and tell them Jesus loved them.” Westmark has been the pastor of the Lincoln City Church of the Nazarene for eight years. In that time the church has grown from a membership of 12 to over 70 weekly attendants. She also spearheaded a

her guidance is an example of her fruitfulness. “He completely surprised me,” Westmark said, of receiving the award, “and I received it through my tears. I’m just so thankful.” Westmark felt the call from Jesus to serve from an early age, so it seems logical she always knew she’d become a Reverend. She never thought she could attain a pastorship, however, believing instead that women could not serve in this calling. “I thought women should be silent in the church,” she said. “There’s a scripture that people take out of context, that women should be silent in the church, and I was one of those people.” As a youth Westmark was active See WESTMARK, Page A9

LC resident Suzy Nelson, 80, earns screenwriting degree from UCLA MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
They say the day you stop learning is the day you stop living. For local writer Suzy Nelson, she has taken that to heart and hasn’t stopped educating herself. And at 80 years young, Nelson now has another degree from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). As a Southern California native, Nelson grew up as an only child. Neither one of her parents attended college, but Nelson decided at a young age that she was going to strive for a higher education. However, as she grew older, higher education was sent to the backburner after she had her kids in the 1960s. But her passion for school never went away and she decided to continue to strive for her goals. “When I was left with four preschoolers, my dad said, well obviously you can’t go now; you got to stay home with the babies,”
Nelson said. “I said that’s not true. I decided I will go to school and I will work and I’ll do it all. Be a Wonder Woman so to speak.” With that mindset, Nelson continued working and learning, eventually earning a BA and MBA in English, before she earned her newest degree in screenwriting at UCLA this past June. “My schooling has been interesting to say the least and I suppose you could say I’ve been in school forever,” she joked. Finding the Passion Nelson came to Lincoln City in 2002 after working for LA Unified as a teacher at San Fernando High School. She had plans of retiring in Southern California, but her lack of retirement funds caused her to relocate to Oregon. Since moving here, Nelson has put a lot of focus on writing and schooling. She has written five books in total, two children’s books, a novel, a memoir and a
book specialized for senior citizens. “I have taken all kinds of writing classes in school and I’ve done pretty much every kind of writing like magazine, novel writing, public relations and advertising,” Nelson said. Eventually, Nelson found that the style of writing she is most passionate about is screenwriting. This passion spurred her into taking classes online through the UCLA Extension School. On June 28, her hard work paid off as Nelson made the trip down to Southern California to receive her degree. “I never went before for the other certificates but I decided to go this time because it just meant a lot to me,” Nelson said. And while there, Nelson received the VIP treatment. “They treated my son and I very well,” she said. “We had reserved seats at the front of the ceremony with over 2,000 people in attendance. I also got to meet

She has been working on a screenplay that is based on her memoir and wants
to submit it in multiple contests across the United States. “The screenplay is called Anna, and it’s about my life, raising four babies on my own in the 60s,” Nelson said. “I’m going to be entering it in contest in New York very soon.” Nelson said the ultimate goal is for her screenplay to be picked up by a major network such as Hallmark. In addition to her screenwriting work, Nelson just began writing a column for The News Guard and is constantly advertising her five books that are all available on Amazon. Her two children’s books are titled ‘Robin Hood Has Gone to the Dogs’ and ‘Andy the Reincarnated Cat’ are based on her real life pets and are humorous books that teach valuable life lessons. Her novel, ‘Before the Last Bell Rings,’ tells a story about growing up in a rough neighborhood/school in Southern California. And her book for seniors titled
‘Things Your Mother Never Taught You About Getting Older,’ was written primarily for people in the Lincoln City area who are looking for where to get help with their aging body. Nelson said she is constantly reading at home, in the Driftwood Library (where she is a member of the book club) and out and about to try to improve her writing. She is also looking for an agent to help promote her screenplay that she feels would be of interest of a lot of different people. “These contests are always looking for family entertainment and something everyone can watch… that’s what my story is,” Nelson said. “It’s my story, my life with the children and how hard it was. It wasn’t perfect, it was a struggle. “I always thought, I would do whatever it takes, I’m just going to keep working and I’m going to make it. And I survived it.”

Spontaneous ignition can occur with the combustion of a material by an internal chemical or biological reaction that may produce enough heat to ignite the material. This may be a slow process. There are four elements to a fire, which include heat, fuel, oxygen and chemical reaction. Spontaneous combustion is the result of chemical reaction. When paper towels — or similar combustible fibrous material — and grease or oil are improperly disposed, the oil can oxidize creating heat within the material. When this heat cannot dissipate, open combustion can begin, which can threaten property and may lead to injuries or loss of life.

New online carpooling tool launches in Lincoln County THE NEWS GUARD
“Get There”, previously Drive Less Connect, gives Oregonians a way to match carpool partners and plan trips, reducing the need to drive alone. The Oregon Cascades West Council of Governments (OCWCOG) is partnering with the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT) on the launch of ODOT’s new online carpooling tool – Get There, formerly Drive Less Connect. Get There helps match carpool partners who want to share rides within Benton, Lincoln and Linn Counties via a web-based ride-matching and tripplanning tool. GetThereOregon.org makes it easier than

multiple modes of transportation options – including carpooling and vanpooling across our Region – is critically important to connect the Valley and the
Coast,” said The Honorable Dann Cutter, Mayor, City of Waldport, and Executive Committee Member, OCWCOG Board of Directors. “Get There is a great option for our residents, allowing them to save money on gas, helping our environment, and removing cars from the roads. We appreciate ODOT for making the platform available and for continuing this longstanding partnership with OCWCOG.” OCWCOG’s program, Cascades West Transportation Options (CWTO) is the Regional Administrator for the Get There program in Linn, Benton, and Lincoln Counties. CWTO provides outreach, education, carpool/vanpool matching services, and Cascades West RideLine, an emergency ride
home program for commuters living or working in Benton, Lincoln, and Linn Counties. The Get There platform allows users to be matched with a passenger or a driver looking to share a ride, available transit, or distance and time to walk or bike to a specific destination. Using the tool helps travelers choose the best mode for their specific trip and share the cost; it also reduces automobile emissions that harm the environment. “Our goal is to help people have more choices for the way they travel,” said Kris Strickler, Administrator, ODOT Highway Division. “With more options, we usually see fewer vehicles on the road, and that means less congestion and frustra-
tion for everyone.” In October, Get There will host the annual Get There Challenge, formerly the Oregon Drive Less Challenge. This year’s Challenge will feature a range of prizes for people who live or work in Oregon to log trips made without driving alone. Statewide sponsors include Providence Health & Services and Bike Friday; local sponsors include Mid-Willamette Family YMCA, Izzy’s Pizza, Mo’s Restaurant and the Lincoln City Community Center.

Rep. Gomberg visits LC Chamber meeting MAX KIRKENDALL newsguardeditor@countrymedia.net
It was a ‘remarkable’ legislative session this summer in many ways according to Rep. David Gomberg and he spoke to the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce members about what he observed this past week. On Aug. 9, Gomberg joined the LC Chamber and gave a presentation on the progress he has seen at the state level for the Oregon Coast. With all the happening’s in Salem this past June, including walkouts, rallies and protests, Gomberg said the legislative session saw more public participation than ever, which he feels is a good thing. During the presentation, Gomberg detailed
three specific events that occurred throughout the legislative session that will have a direct impact on Lincoln County. The first involved Rogue Brewery in Newport as they prepare for a national rollout for cocktails in a can. “They called me and said we’re said we’re allowed to sell it in Oregon, we are allowed to import it into Oregon, but if there is less than 10 percent alcohol in the can, we’re not allowed to make it in Oregon,” Gomberg said. With two weeks left in the legislative session, Gomberg was in search of a fix and found a bill that was languished in the Senate and already passed the house that dealt with alcohol. Gomberg then wrote
amendments to the bill and was able to get it passed on the last day of the session. His second example detailed the issue behind the failing dams in Newport. The City of Newport relies on two dams that have been designated the second and third most seismically vulnerable dams in the state. Now, this is not when Cascadia slips and we have a 9.5 earthquake, this is if we have a 3.5 earthquake, they’ll lose the dams in Newport or if a big truck goes by it hits a pothole will lose the dams in Newport,” Gomberg joked. “Now they’re finding that these dams are also starting to seep, which is a sign that the dams are aging out and then they’re looking at a catastrophic dam failure.”
Gomberg said the impact could be a total loss of water supply for everyone in the area. To address this issue, Gomberg brought a bill into legislature to provide $4 million to start the process of replacing the two dams. That measure was approved in the House and approved in the Senate and sent to the Governor on the last day of the legislative session. This past Thursday, Gomberg received a call as they were considering vetoing the funding to do a statewide evaluation on which dams were most vulnerable. “I said, well, we’ve already done studies, and we’re already number two and three on the list,” Gomberg said. “If we do that
we’re going to take two years to do a study that’s going to confirm what we already know, which is they’re number two and three on the list. But in two years, the project’s going to cost more.” On Aug. 6, Gomberg scheduled a one-on-one meeting with Gov. Kate Brown to talk about the risks of vetoing the bill. “I told her if those dams go, we’re going to have what I call a reverse tsunami going out toward the ocean when these dams collapse… So we’re putting lives at risk,” Gomberg said. On Aug. 8, Gov. Brown called Gomberg directly to let him know that they will be moving forward with the project and have chosen not to veto the project.
Gomberg then spoke on the Cultural Center Plaza Project in Lincoln City. He explained that the Cultural Center asked the state for a $600,000 grant for the project but Gomberg wanted more and they ended up getting $1.5 million. “We want to transform it for the tourism industry and give more people more reasons to come here,” Gomberg said. “We want to transform it for the retirement community and give them other things to do here. And we want to transform it for the art industry. “We have an art industry in North County that we should be proud of and the cultural center is at the very center of that.”

AND PERSONS: Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians P.O. Box 549 Siletz, OR 97380 Phone: 541.444.8232 These notices shall satisfy two separate but related procedural requirements for activities to be undertaken by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians (CTSI or Tribe). Notice of Intent to Request Release of Funds On or about August 30, 2019, CTSI will submit a request to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for release of Indian Housing Block Grant Program funds under the Native American Housing Assistance and Self Determination Act of 1996, as amended (25 U.S.C. 4101 et. seq.) to undertake a proposed project (Project) known as Neachesna Village II Workforce Housing Development, for the purpose of the Tribe constructing three townhomes to accommodate six tribal family units with household income below 80% of Area Median Income and with at least one family member working at the Tribe’s Chinook
Winds Casino Resort (CWCR) in Lincoln City, Oregon. The Project would also involve the Tribe constructing two additional and non-HUD funded townhomes to accommodate four tribal family units with household income above 80% of Area Median Income and at least one member working at CWCR. Although the Project would be situated within an approximately 4.7 acre portion of the CTSI’s approximately 37acre Lakeside Village Property in north Lincoln City, Oregon, the major-
ity of the Project activities will occur within an approximately 2.3 acre area generally north and northeast of the N.E. Johns Avenue/N.E “D� Avenue intersection. Electrical, natural gas and telecommunication lines would be installed to serve the residences as would service lines extending from each home to existing water, sanitary sewer and stormwater infrastructure. Estimated Project funding (including past non-HUD funding for associated and necessary infrastructure
construction) is estimated by the Tribe to be $3,114,675.00. Notice of Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) The CTSI also gives notice that it has determined that the release of funds for the above Project will not constitute an action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment and accordingly CTSI has decided not to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA, 42

USC 4321). The reasons for the decision not to prepare such Statement are
as follows. No serious environmental adverse impacts or hazards were identified in the course
of the environmental review. An Environmental Review Record (ERR) re-
specting the Project has been made by CTSI, which documents the environmental review of
the project and more fully sets forth the reasons why such a Statement is not required. The EA and ERR is on file and available for public examination and copying upon request at: The Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians Natural Resources Department 201 SE Swan Avenue P.0. Box 549 Siletz, Oregon 97380 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday excepting Tribal holidays No further environmental review of such project is proposed to be conducted prior to the request for release of the Federal funds. Public Comments on Finding All interested agencies, groups, and persons disagreeing with this decision or wishing to comment on the project are invited to submit written comments for consideration. Such written comments should be received at CTSI’s Siletz address listed above on or before August 29, 2019. Comments should specify which Notice they are addressing. All such comments so received will be considered and CTSI will not request or take any administrative action on the proposed Project prior to the date specified in the preceding sentence. Release of Funds CTSI will undertake the Project described above
with 2019 Indian Housing Block Grant HUD Program funds. CTSI is certifying to HUD that Delores Pigsley in her official capacity as Tribal Chairman of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians and Certifying Officer is consenting to accept the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts if an action is brought to enforce responsibilities in relation to the environmental reviews, decision making, and action; and that these responsibilities have been satisfied. The legal effect of the certification is that upon its approval, CTSI may use the 2019 Indian Housing Block Grant HUD funds and HUD will have satisfied its responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969. Objections to HUD and Release of Funds HUD will accept objections to its approval only if it is on one of the following bases: (a) the certification was not in fact executed by the Certifying Officer of CTSI; or (b) the CTSI’s environmental review record for the project indicated omission of a required decision finding or step applicable to the project in the environmental review process; or (c) other specific grounds in HUD regulations at 24 CFR Part 58.75. Objections must be prepared and submitted in accordance with the required procedure (24 CFR Part 58) and may
be addressed to: HUD, 909 1st Avenue, Suite 300, Seattle WA 981041000. Objections to the release of funds on bases other than those stated above will not be considered by HUD. No objections received after August 29, 2019 will be considered by HUD.

Bravery From page A1 strikes that did not appear to have any effect on the attacker. When DePaolis observed the attacker continue to advance and wrestle with Officer Hoydic, he ran to help Hoydic. “The attacker was landing knee strikes to Officer Hoydic when Mr. DePaolis jumped on the back of the attacker and put a neck hold on him,� Police Chief Jerry Palmer said. “Officer KC Claunts arrived on scene at that moment and joined the fight. It took all three of them
to get the attacker on the ground, but they still could not gain control of him.� Officer Claunts attempted to deploy a taser, but the unit failed to discharge. Then Officer Danneker and another local citizen, Zachary Bickerdyke, arrived on scene. Bickerdyke was able to take control of the attacker’s legs and Officer Claunts was able to get control of one arm and then Officers Hoydic and Danneker got control of the other and together were able to get handcuffs applied. The male continued to fight, and leg restraints had

to be applied, before they could get the subject under control. A male victim of the attacker was transported to SNLH for injuries. Officer Hoydic was taken to the hospital for treatment of head, shoulder and knee injuries and had to be off several days to recover. The suspect was medically evaluated before being lodged in jail. “It is obvious that had these two individuals not joined this fight that our officers may have struggled a lot harder and could have been more seriously injured,�
Palmer said. At the Aug. 12 City Council meeting, the LCPD publicly thanked the two local citizens and presented them each with a plaque of recognition for their courage that July night. “In the times that we live in right now, to have individuals like this in our community that support our people and don’t just stand by and watch when stuff like this is happening is remarkable,� Palmer said. “We just want them to know that we have a great appreciation for them to intervene on our behalf.�
call her back to a church. That calling came from Dr. Reeder when he asked Westmark to substitute as a short-term interim pastor for a small congregation in Lincoln City. This church was also in a declining state and their then-pastor had left, Westmark said. After preaching for two weeks, she returned to her work in Tillamook. Dr. Reeder then called and told Westmark that the church membership wished for her to be their permanent pastor. Westmark admitted she was in no frame of mind to take on this church. “They didn’t want a pastor, they wanted someone to bury them,� she said, frankly of both the membership’s age and their then fixed mindset. Dr. Reeder, however, had a different idea about the Lincoln City church. “He said, ‘Well Kelli, I’ve talked with them and I think they’re willing to make changes,’� she recalled. “So, I went and interviewed them and they said they’d do whatever I wanted, if I could please just come and be their pastor.�
Westmark said she opened her mind to what God wanted and came away with the conclusion that, “Through all of this, if they were willing to change, and willing to make a difference in their community, I’d go. I felt peace in my heart that this was the right next step.� Westmark took the job, and took on a church with a budget of less than $50,000 a year for the entire church, including her salary. “I’m not sure how she survived those first years,� Dr. Reeder said, frankly. “It was at great personal sacrifice.� Remembering the words God had spoken to her regarding her calling, Westmark wondered how she would serve youth with a church comprised of elderly members. The answer, she said, became clear in the first year in her new church. “I asked them, ‘What is one thing we can do in our community? How can we make a difference?’� The membership responded that they missed having youth in their church, she recalled. Additionally, Lincoln City has a high poverty
rate and parents with very little income for daycare. Could they build a small preschool to help community members? Westmark said that once they had a goal in mind, with a changed mindset and fervent prayer, her congregation rose to the challenge. They fundraised for monies to add on to their building, succeeding at their goal. “What a vision,� Dr. Reeder said, of Westmark’s commitment. The fundraising campaign was, “a huge risk for her,� due to the church’s limited funds. Today, Westmark looks back at her faith journey and smiles. At age 41, she has walked many miles since that day when God said to her, “Youth Minister.� “It feels amazing,� she said. “I feel like I am not only in the prime of my life, but I’m exactly where God wanted me from before time began. I love my church family, and I can’t imagine doing anything else. I wake up every morning with joy, ready for whatever God has planned for that day.�

Westmark From page A1 in the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene. When high school graduation neared, she pondered where to attend college. “I kept telling people I was going to become an elementary teacher,� she said, “And every time I said it I felt sick to my stomach, like I was going to throw up.� It was while on a summer youth group mission to Mexico after high school graduation that Westmark said she heard the Lord speak to her. The youth group got word that their senior pastor of the church was leaving, and while praying together for guidance she heard God distinctly tell her, “Youth Ministry.� “I was so excited,� she explained. “We’d had a woman serve as our youth pastor, and so I thought that’s what my calling was to be.� She enrolled at Northwest Nazarene University in Nampa, Idaho to pursue a degree in special ministries with an emphasis in teaching youth.
It was during her senior year of college when Westmark was a teaching assistant for Dr. C.S. Cole that the professor said clearly, “Kelli, don’t you see God is calling you to preach?� He then pointed to another professor in the program, a woman, who was an ordained pastor. Perhaps, she pondered, what God had meant when He spoke to her while on that mission trip to Mexico were two, separate words. Rather than seeking work as a Youth Minister, perhaps her role was to serve people: specifically ‘Youth’ and as a ‘Minister.’ Westmark said from that point onward, God moved swiftly in her life. The staff at the school, “basically said, ‘Kelli, here is a full ride scholarship to seminary to get your masters of divinity, go figure it out.’� She moved to Kansas City, and enrolled in the Nazarene Theological Seminary, where one of the first classes she took was about preaching, “and I knew this was what God was calling me to do.� After three years of Mas-
ters courses, Westmark had a Masters of Theology and 10 offers from churches in both the United States and Canada, wanting to add her to their staff. “They were excited to have me,� she recalled. “They wanted a female pastor.� She finally felt called to a church in Indianapolis, “a church that was in turmoil,� she remembered. “It had four members and it needed a restart.� Four years later, just when the church was taking off, a pressing family situation called Westmark back home to Tillamook. She left her church family and came back to the Oregon coast. Life, at that point, she felt, needed a break from preaching and full on pastor duties. She took a support role as an associate pastor with the Tillamook Church of the Nazarene and worked for Country Media as the advertising manager of the Headlight Herald and the North Coast Citizen. Westmark said she knew eventually when the time was right, God would
