newport loyalty days

Michael Scott Garrett, 34, of Berkeley, Calif., told a crowd he was going to stab each one of them in the head Saturday at Newport’s Loyalty Days & Sea Fair Festival.

According to a Newport Police Department news release, two people watching the 63rd annual Loyalty Days Parade took Garrett to the ground around noon after hearing the threats and held him until Newport Police could arrive and take him into custody. Garrett was brandishing a metal pick.

Garrett faces charges of unlawful use of a weapon, disorderly conduct and menacing.

He was taken to Lincoln County Jail with bail set at $135,000.

Lincoln City Youth League swings into action at Kirtsis

The ball fields at Kirtsis Park were bustling with Lincoln City Youth League players of various ages Saturday as scores of parents watched and rooted on teams and cringed as foul balls flew toward cars.

A game played between powerhouses sponsored by Weiss Install and Mo’s saw hitting and fielding displays put on by both clubs in a battle of instructional-league titans.

Here’s the rundown:

Kids nails one to the outfield

Both starting pitchers went the distance and displayed remarkable consistency in getting the ball over the plate with every pitch.

Visitors to Kirtsis Park enjoyed refreshments, fresh hamburgers, hot dogs and assorted other staples offered by the two snack shacks, and the smell of cooking meats was carried by the wind throughout the day.

Teams came from as far as Nestucca to prove their mettle on the diamond.

“I think it’s funny to see people actually rooting for the foul balls to hit the cars,” a parent said. “It’s funny because it’s not our cars, you know?”

It was a beautiful day for baseball, according to Taft High baseball parent Kristina Good, whose son Fco Ramos was umpiring. “Now, if we could just get the wind to cooperate.”

Taft High 7-12 middle-schooler Gavin Koceja also umpired games and enjoyed the snack shack benefits.

Taft assistant baseball coach Tom Nelson showed his approval for the day’s events.

“I love watching these kids play at this level,” another coach said. “They are learning how to become good ball players, as well as good sports.”

 

Depoe Bay woman killed in head-on car crash near Philomath

Catherine Koch, 37, of Depoe Bay, was pronounced dead at the scene Friday at a head-on collision on Highway 20 at Highway 223, west of Philomath.

Benton County Sheriff’s Office deputies, responding to the call at 8 a.m., said Koch was traveling east on Highway 20 when she collided with a loaded dump truck, headed west. The truck was loaded with dirt and towing a trailer also loaded with dirt. The truck is owned by Riverbend Material Company of Oregon

The driver of the truck was David Clark, 60, from Albany.

There is no indication of alcohol or drugs as being a factor in the crash.

Highway 20 was closed for 4 1/2 hours while the Benton County Sheriff’s Office Crash Team investigated.

Anyone who witnessed the incident is encouraged to contact Deputy Seirup at 541-766-6858 or email [email protected]

‘Click it or Ticket’ enforcement program set May 20-June 2

The Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office will join other law enforcement agencies across the nation with a seat belt enforcement blitz from May 20 to June 2. 

The annual campaign is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s national Click It or Ticket high-visibility enforcement effort.

Aimed at enforcing seat belt use to help keep families safe, the national seat belt campaign runs concurrent with the busy travel season.

During the Click It or Ticket campaign, Lincoln County Sheriff’s deputies will work with fellow law enforcement officers across local and state lines to ensure the message gets out to drivers and passengers.

Wearing a seat belt is required by law, but it’s more than that: By far, buckling up is the simplest thing you can do to limit injury or save your life during a crash.

Tigers explode for 22-0, 30-4 doubleheader sweep of Bulldogs

(File photos by Eric DeMello)

Well, that’s one way to preserve your pitching staff and avoid the grueling undertaking of Friday doubleheaders.

Taft High erupted for 52 runs and surrendered just four to sweep a Special District 2 doubleheader from Willamina 22-0 and 30-4 in two road games abbreviated to five innings each by the state’s 10-run mercy rule.

“We played well today,” Taft coach Matt Hilgers said. “We came out aggressive and kept on them for two games. We threw strikes and had a better approach at the plate.”

Senior starter Bleiz Kimbrough went three innings and junior Jordan Hall two in combining for a one-hitter in the first game as Taft scored six runs in the second inning and 14 in the third to coast to the shutout victory.

Sophomore Darius Smith homered and joined senior Tyee Fisher with four RBIs each to lead the way for the Tigers, who benefited from 11 walks and three Willamina errors.

Fisher had a team-leading three hits, while senior Cody Knott, juniors Trenton Fisher and Eli DeMello, Smith and fellow sophomore Fco Ramos scored three times each for Taft.

Five Willamina pitchers walked 18 batters in the second game and Tyee Fisher hit his second grand slam of the season and drove home seven runs, Knott five and DeMello and Kimbrough four apiece to make a winner of starter Trenton Fisher.

Knott and junior Lucas Hindman also saw time on the mound in relief for Taft.

The ninth-ranked Tigers collected 18 hits to drop the Bulldogs to 4-16, 0-11, including a team-high four by DeMello. DeMello scored six times, Trenton Fisher five and Smith four for Taft, which limited Willamina to three hits.

“We made some mistakes on the base paths that we need to clean up moving into next week’s games on the road,” Hilgers said. “We took advantage of some of their mistakes that led to some of our runs.”

Taft, which improved to 12-10 overall and 8-4 in league play, is at Catlin Gabel at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday and concludes its regular season with a 3 p.m. doubleheader Friday at Clastkanie.

“We have to take what we did today and bring it to our game on Tuesday,” Hilgers said.”We need the same mindset Tuesday and confidence that we had today.”

Taft overcomes injuries, slow start for softball sweep at Willamina

(File photo by Lon French)

The Taft High lineup shared the offensive support of junior starting pitcher Emma Coulter, who went the distance in two seven-inning games Friday for a league doubleheader softball sweep of host Willamina.

Freshman Addie Gates and sophomore Kyle Knott joined Coulter with two hits each in a 5-1 win in the first game, while junior Hailee Danneker and freshman Chloe Peterson had two hits apiece in a 10-4 victory in the second as the fourth-ranked Tigers improved to 15-6 overall and 7-3 in Special District 1 play.

“Despite not being 100 percent healthy physically and not mentally showing up when the game started we were able to win the first game,” Taft coach Sandy Stuart said. “Between a couple of injuries and illnesses we were not 100 percent today. Overall, we enjoyed the sunshine and slugged through.”

Knott drove home two runs and Coulter doubled in the opener as Taft broke open a scoreless game with two runs in the fourth and fifth innings and one in the sixth to drop the last-place Bulldogs to 5-11, 1-7.

Kayla Lininger drove in two runs and fellow sophomore Claira Tolan scored twice in the second game as the Tigers jumped on top 3-0 with two runs in the first and another in the second.

“We came out with a little bit more enthusiasm and scored quickly,” Stuart said. “We put the ball in play more and forced more plays.”

Taft returns to play at 4:30 p.m. Monday in a nonleague game at PacWest member at Blanchet Catholic.

The Tigers close out their home season at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday against Scio and their regular season with a 3 p.m. doubleheader Friday at No. 1-ranked and undefeated Clatskanie.

“These were league games we needed to win and we did the job” Stuart said. “Next week will be a big week full of tough games and Senior Night on Wednesday.”
