Lincoln City Police arrested two men on identity theft-related charges Thursday, March 7, for attempting to use several stolen credit cards at Chinook Winds Casino Resort.
“They were attempting to use the ATM’s in the casino to get money from the cards,” Lincoln City Police Sgt. Jeffery Winn said. “Casino security called us and said something weird was going on.”
Scott Richardson, 32, from Portland, was found in possession of credit cards with different names on them, as well as an identification card for another, police said. Richardson initially provided a false name to officers, but was later identified. Richardson was also found with a small amount of heroin, police said.
While contacting Richardson, the investigation led to a second male who was also allegedly trying to get money from a different ATM.
“They were there together, but they were not together when we contacted the first subject,” Winn said.
Brandon Savage, 31, of Milwaukie was found in possession of several stolen credit cards and a stolen identification card.
“We got everybody involved in this instance,” Winn said.
The investigation revealed most of the credit cards and identifications were stolen from the Portland area. Officers were able to contact the victims of the stolen credit and identification cards and are working to return the property to the rightful owners.
Both individuals were taken into custody and transported to the Lincoln County Jail.
Richardson was charged with unlawful possession of heroin, identity theft, misuse of identification and probation violation.
Savage was lodged on charges of identity theft, fraudulent use of a credit card and theft.
The Lincoln City Police are continuing their investigation.
Sam Cortes, Evan Halfery and Heidi Moreno won races, and 14 of 15 team members making the three-hour overnight trek south posted personal-best times as the Lincoln City Swim Club placed second Sunday in the Valley Coast Swim League Invitational.
“This weekend was truly a family affair with siblings, so it was a fun meet,” longtime LCSC coach Lissa Parker said of her team’s runner-up finish behind Gold Coast (Coos Bay) in the season-ending age-group meet at the North Bend Municipal Pool.
Cortes won all six of his events in the 13-14 men’s division with season-best times in half of them to lead the way for LCSC. The 14-year-old Taft High freshman won the 50-yard freestyle, 100-yard butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and free, and the 200-yard individual medley.
Halferty, 12, won the men’s 11-12 100 free and 100 IM, while Moreno, 8, won the women’s 8-and-under 100 IM.
Taft freshman Dylan Barrera, 14, posted two runner-up finishes for LCSC, while Sammy Halferty joined her younger brother, Moreno and fellow Taft junior Hunter Lunstedt with second-place finishes.
Abby Halferty, 8; Charlotte Lunstedt, 14; Micah McLeish, 17; Logan Meyer, 13; Napy Meyer, 16; Angel Moreno, 15; Ileyana Moreno, 10; and Eric Zamorana, 13, joined the aforementioned swimmers with personal-best times.
“The great thing about our end-of-the-season league meet is that many of the older kids who just got done with high school season like to go to it, and it’s a great team experience for the older kids and the youngsters to swim together,” said Parker, who said the meet will rotate to Eugene next year.
William Brooks hits a fairway approach for the Tigers
Unlike the grocery stores he owns in Lincoln City, the shelf’s in need of stocking on Taft High boys golf coach Andy Morgan’s roster.
With just one returning player with varsity experience, the Class 3A Tigers open the season Monday with orientation to tournament play in the nine-hole Salem Area Youth tournament against several teams in various leagues and classifications.
“Our team goals are to improve, have fun and return Taft Tigers golf to excellence,” Morgan said. “Competitively speaking, we would love to compete for a spot in the State championships, but we must be realistic.”
Also Taft’s head boys basketball coach, Morgan and assistants Dean Konecny and Kenny Morgan will rely on senior William Brooks to be the team’s No. 1 player, with junior Jonathan Freilinger and freshmen Zac Wil, Julian Maiden, Ethan Unruh and Eston Whistler vying for the other spots.
“Coach Konecny and William have changed some swing mechanics this year, and are conditioning William to make a run at competing in the State championships,” Morgan said. “William is not yet in the top tier of golfers in our division, but his game will be competitive.”
La Pine, with returning star player Tommy Rohde, is expected to be Special District 2’s top team, Morgan said. He said Brooks possesses the work ethic, commitment and ability to compete with the conference’s best golfers in trying to book a tee time in the State tournament at Emerald Valley Golf Club near Eugene in early May.
“William will provide insight for the younger golfers,” he said. “As for the youth, there is an enormous opportunity over the next four years to play elite golf. If the team stays committed and competes as a team, we should have a very bright future.”
Wil has demonstrated a strong game, good fundamentals and “coachability,” Morgan said.
“We are looking for him to push both his talent and William’s into the season,” he said. “They will likely be very competitive throughout the year. Where William shares experience and practice, Zac has a cool head and seems to control his emotion like golfers more advanced in age.”
While Wil is the most polished of the four freshmen, “Ethan, Julian, and Eston will all make huge gains this season,” Morgan said.
“These young boys are great listeners and eager to compete as a Taft championship golfers,” he said. “And, Jonathan has looked improved this year and we look forward to his steady personality and composure.
“At this point, William and Zac are the only two golfers who look ready this year. As a team, we will need to learn some fundamentals and course management techniques.”
While an appearance at State looks like an unreachable green on a 600-yard par-5, Morgan isn’t ruling out holing out on his team’s quest to get there.
“I would not say it’s impossible to reach the State tournament; in fact, I am optimistic that we will not be overlooked,” he said. “However, we need to be focused on our process of the next four years and building a sustainable program for the future. We need more golfers, more interest.”
Morgan said the continued support of Salishan Spa & Golf Resort has been a major factor in his program’s sustainability and success.
“We have had the wonderful opportunity to play on one of the finest courses on the Oregon Coast, in the entire Northwest,” he said. “The driving range and the freedom to play as many holes as we can, and to use the facility as a tool for learning the game, are so valuable. The folks at Salishan are so supportive. What an incredible relationship. We couldn’t ask for anything else.”
Taft has won 27 District championships and seven State titles during the years Salishan has supported the boys team, Morgan said.
“This team needs experience,” he said. “The more we play and compete, the better we will become. Golf as a competition is new to most of these athletes. It is a brutal game if you don’t know how to manage the emotional aspects.
“I love to have team-sport athletes, like basketball, baseball and football, try golf. It exposes you like no other sport. Though we are competing for a team victory, it is like no other sport. You are so exposed by your strengths and weaknesses. If you run — you need to be fast. If you wrestle, you may face a more able opponent. In golf, it’s how well you manage your skill, your mind and the elements. It can be humiliating.”
Morgan, who is in discussion with the men’s club at Chinook Winds Golf Resort on developing a junior program, said applying the team concept to an individual sport will be key for Taft this season.
“The future of Taft Tiger golf is bright,” he said.

The Oregon Health Authority is asking Oregonians to participate in the 2019 Oregon Health Insurance Survey (OHIS).
Since 2011, the biennial survey has provided important information on health insurance coverage, access to care, and the cost of health care for Oregonians. OHA aims to reach more than 8,000 families through the survey between February and June.
“Oregon has dramatically reduced the uninsured rate, but too many people still remain uninsured, underinsured, and confused about their coverage options,” OHA Director Patrick Allen said. “This survey helps us better understand the gaps in health coverage and where we need to focus our attention to achieve better health, better care and lower costs for all Oregonians.”
Studies have shown health coverage is linked to more access to health care, better health and reduced mortality. When individuals and families lack health coverage, they can be exposed to medical debt and bankruptcy, forced to rely on hospital emergency departments for health care, and unable to obtain regular treatment for chronic conditions and serious illness (such as cancer).
In 2017 Oregon’s uninsured rate stood at 6 percent, and about one in 10 Oregonians experienced a gap in coverage during the year. More than eight in 10 children and adults under age 65 who lacked coverage were eligible for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP) or financial assistance to reduce premium costs. Hispanic Oregonians constituted the racial/ethnic group with the highest rate of uninsurance (15 percent). Asians had the lowest percentage of uninsured (2 percent).
There are about 243,000 uninsured people in Oregon. If 80 percent of them made use of available OHP or marketplace subsidies to gain health insurance coverage, the number of Oregonians who are uninsured would drop to 34,000.
The information provided by Oregon families through the OHIS helps communities and stakeholders understand changes in the health care system and their impact on individuals and families. Survey results will be used to inform policymakers and programs that help reduce disparities in health care coverage, access and cost. The survey is conducted in English and Spanish.
Frequently asked questions about the 2019 OHIS survey can be found on OHA’s website:
“Where do I start?” Taft High baseball coach Matt Hilgers might have asked himself after his “Champion of Character” recipients as the school’s “Team of the Year” were presumably dismantled by graduation losses.
How about with a major dose of confidence?
“I think we have some guys coming back that can make an impact on the mound for us,” the West Valley League Coach of the Year said this week as a new season dawns on the Tigers. “We have some hitters returning that we are looking to carry us from the offensive side. Our outfield is fairly solid and has some experience, and we have experience in the infield.”
Matt Hilgers addresses his team in practice in preparation for the upcoming season
Notice, not a mere mention of departed seniors Caleb King, Josh Salsbery and Jack Stempel — Taft’s trio of first-team All-State players who led the Class 3A Tigers to a 24-4 overall record and 12-0 league mark as the state’s No. 1-ranked team for most of the season.
King hit .494 overall (.568 in league) with 38 hits, 35 runs and 42 RBIs as a first-team All-State centerfielder a year after claiming first-team honors as a pitcher. He also went 7-0 with a 1.94 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 36.3 innings.
Salsbery was selected first-team All-State at shortstop for his fielding and .482 (.465 league) average, 40 hits, 44 runs and 18 steals.
Stempel hit .459 (.526 league) with 34 hits, 35 runs and 30 RBIs at first base, but was honored as a first-team All-State pitcher after going 7-1 with a 0.74 ERA and 45 strikeouts in 47 innings.
That’s a lot of pitching and offense, but Hilgers is looking past the team that outscored opponents by more than 200 runs and 156-8 in league play to a promising one for good reason. There’s plenty to look forward to when the Tigers open the season at 4 p.m. Tuesday at home against Horizon Christian, Tualatin, which reached the State title game last season before falling to La Pine, which eliminated Taft in the semis.
“We are returning a strong group from last year’s team,” Hilgers said of a core group of four seniors and five juniors who know all about winning, having won 16 games in a row last year. “We have some individuals that have had some success outside of baseball that we are hoping will carry over into our season.”
Darius Smith takes cuts with Eli DeMello behind the plate during practice last week
Included are senior outfielder/pitcher Tyee Fisher and senior infielder/pitchers Cody Knott, Kam Kessler and Bleiz Kimbrough.
Fisher, who hit .387 with a team-high 10 doubles, and Knott, who batted .354 with 28 hits, 27 runs and 26 RBIs, were second-team all-league selections.
Kessler, who batted .282 with six doubles, four triples, 23 runs and 26 RBIs, was honorable mention.
Kimbrough threw two shutouts, tied for the team lead in saves and had 44 strikeouts in 32 innings as one of the league’s hardest throwing pitchers.
And, Taft’s junior class is led by the return of honorable mention All-State catcher Eli DeMello, a first-team all-West Valley League selection.
DeMello led the Tigers in plate appearances (109) and at-bats (91) while tying Salsbery for the team lead in stolen bases and triples. He hit .440 and scored 43 runs with 20 RBIs on 40 hits, including a team-leading 12 for extra bases.
He’ll be joined by returning starting right fielder Trenton Fisher, who earned the nickname “The Magnet” for his defensive prowess, outfielder Trenton Hall and infielder/pitchers Jordan Hall and Lucas Hindman, starting backcourt players for the Tigers in basketball.
Taft’s future around the horn seems secure with sophomores Darius Smith, Fco Ramos, Ethan Thomas and Graden Kehr joining freshman Kaden Hindman. Smith plays the outfield, too, and Hindman is a promising catcher.
“We have a few younger athletes that will need to step up and fill some holes,” Hilgers said. “Many of them have matured since last year and we are looking forward to big things from them.
“We are not as experienced as we have been in years past and are going to be asking some different guys to play a lot of positions.”
Taft will be without league honorable mention outfielder/designated hitter Caleb Jones, who batted .432 as a sophomore but did not return to the team.
“We have had a few guys work towards stepping up as a leader,” Hilgers said. “This will be one of our biggest challenges this year. We have to challenge ourselves every day to get better.”
The blend of youth and experience promises to present the Tigers with a steep learning curve before league play opens April 9 against Rainier.
“We are working on situational strategies, both offensive and defensive,” Hilgers said. “Two weeks of practice is not much preparation before our first game, but we are working and finding our weaknesses and addressing them early on.”
Adjusting to play in the new Special District 2 league is also a concern, Hilgers said. Four of the SD2’s six teams — Clatskanie, Rainier, Warrenton and Taft — made the 16-team State playoffs last season, and long bus rides and Friday doubleheaders will present a new challenge.
“It is going to have a big impact on pitching,” he said. “We will be spending 10 to 12 hours more on a bus with one less team in this league,” he said. “Travel time is one of the biggest changes. We will also have to adapt to doubleheaders, as doubleheaders make for a longer day.
“We are in a fairly tough league again this year, even after shuffling everything around. The competition will be pretty stiff. Doubleheaders every Friday, as well as the traveling and missing school and making up school work, are all factors that will separate the stronger teams. We have to be able to compete both physically and mentally every time we show up to play or we will find ourselves on the wrong end of the scoreboard.”
Hilgers and assistants Jason King and Tom Nelson can only hope last year’s experience of being the team to beat each and every time it stepped on the field pays dividends for the Tigers.
“Our goal is to compete every day at practice and get better,” he said. “We want to compete in every game and find ourselves competing for a league championship. Our mindset is to get better every day that we step on the field.
“I am excited to get back out there and play some baseball, as are the guys on our team. This is the best time of year, in my opinion. We are excited to be playing one of the tougher schedules in the state and challenge ourselves, both in and out of league.”
Ron Storms said he hasn’t slept well for two days in anticipation of leaving Lincoln City behind and heading east by bike and cart with his faithful canine companion, Onyx, to raise funds for Canine Partners for Life, which provides service dogs to people who can’t afford them.
Meghan Shreiner will drive the truck and communicate with the duo as they venture through the various terrain on their journey to Pennsylvania. She will be updating the Facebook Page with Team Ronyx’s exploits.
As a crowd gathered in Mo’s parking lot this morning to see the troop off, hugs and treats were exchanged in ample supply. People made journeys of their own just for the chance to see the trio off.

“I’m a little anxious and excited,” she said. “The truck runs well, so I think we’ll be OK. That’s always a fear, you know, taking a long journey with a lot of weight.
“My intention is to update the Facebook Page daily. We were going to have a live video feed, but the camera we bought doesn’t allow us to do live streaming. We have an action camera and we will connect it to the bike and I’ll upload those videos at night.”
One of Storm’s friends, Juanita, who has trained with Storms, biked with them for a bit through Lincoln City.
“Just for a little ways, for old times sake.” she said.
Virgil Moon, who built and carved the custom camper that sits on the Onyx’s Great Adventure truck, said he was going for a “Snoopy doghouse look.”
“It started out as a canopy, and it just grew from there,” Moon said. “As time went on, we felt like we needed to make it a little wider and a little higher. Going across country they’re not always going to be in a town, so they’ll need a place to sleep.”
Brenda Woodley-Thomas, an experienced event organizer who was with the Fraternal Order of Eagles for 35 years, has helped organize the route and spread the word about the cause.
“We saw Ron and Onyx on the beach and I said, ‘I think I can help you.'” she said.
Woodley-Thomas, who has been involved with the effort since then, was instrumental is contacting Portland media outlet KGW and Lincoln City Homepage for coverage.
Storms goal is to bike and hike 30 miles per day with the first stop at Grand Ronde’s Spirit Mountain Casino.
As Onyx was placed into his cart and Storms started peddling away, everyone could hear barking.
“He’s telling Ron to go faster,” someone in the crowd said.
Homepage will provide continuing coverage of the journey to get service dogs to people who need but can’t afford them. We are also running a live feed of the Facebook Page for Onyx’s Great Adventure at the bottom of our website.
A Depoe Bay man burrowed his red Acura Integra under a large gray Dodge pickup truck in the Walmart parking lot in Newport on Thursday after speeding off from a nearby car wash.
According to Newport Police, Chase Castle, 27, darted from a car wash south of the Walmart parking lot and traveled across NW 25th Street at approximately 60 mph around 4 p.m. He then struck a curb and T-boned the parked pickup, lifting it on top of his car.
The Acura skidded for approximately 50 feet with the truck on top before coming to a stop. Video surveillance confirmed witness accounts of the event.
Four other vehicles involved in the incident were parked and unoccupied. Their registered owners were located inside Walmart and responded to the scene.
Castle was taken into custody and charged with reckless driving and criminal mischief. He was lodged at the Lincoln County Jail after being treated for minor injuries at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital.
The Newport Fire Department assisted in the incident.
Gabe Arce-Torres takes the baton Friday night for his 400-meter leg of the distance medley relay
Taft High graduate Gabe Arce-Torres and Western Oregon University’s distance medley relay team placed ninth, barely missing the podium tonight at the NCAA Division II Indoor Track & Field Championships in Pittsburg, Kansas.
Gabe Arce-Torres runs a 48.5 400-meter split for the Western Oregon track team
The 18-year-old freshman handed the baton to teammate Curt Knott following his 400-meter leg in second place. Knott dropped back to third in his 800-meter run before his pass to 1,600-meter anchor Tyler Jones, who wound up ninth by just six-tenths of a second.
Arce-Torres, who took the baton in first place following Justin Crosswhite’s 1,200-meter leadoff run, starred at Taft in soccer and track for four seasons before graduating last spring. He is the youngest athlete in Western Oregon history to compete in the Division II Championships.
Eleventh-seeded Western Oregon finished in 9:50.77 to defeat top-seeded Western Colorado by .64 seconds. Colorado State-Pueblo, seeded sixth, finished in a winning 9:47.91 to defeat eighth-seeded runner-up Simon Fraser, which clocked 9:48.74.
The Wolves were seeking their third straight NCAA distance medley relay title with all new runners at Pittsburg State’s Robert W. Plaster Center.
