Macaroni and Seas
Roy Baker from Autobahn 101 says “cheese”

Eight Lincoln City restaurants invite you to try their interpretations of the classic dish macaroni & cheese March 16-23 when Explore Lincoln City presents Macaroni & Seas Week.

“Our mac and cheese dish is made with a traditional béchamel sauce, combined with Monterey Jack and Cheddar to create a Mornay sauce,” Chef Etienne Saucier of Klementine’s Kitchen said. “We add elbow macaroni, top it with our potato chip parmesan crust, and then bake it until it’s crisp and bubbly. For many, mac and cheese is the embodiment of comfort food. It is a simple, classic dish that invites fond, nostalgic memories.”

“We are capping off Macaroni & Seas Week with a delicious demonstration class,” Culinary Center Manager Donna Riani said. “Chef Roy Baker from Autobahn 101 will join me on the demo stage and show our guests how to make his version of mac and cheese. It is a traditional German spätzle made with cheese, bacon and mushrooms. We’ll also have live music, wine, treats and other surprises to celebrate the week.”

A map of the eight participating locations and a demonstration video featuring Riani is available at MacaroniAndSeas.com.

To learn more about Macaroni & Seas Week or to purchase tickets for the demo ($40), visit MacaroniAndSeas.com or call 541-996-1274. A portion of the ticket sales will go to the Lincoln City Food Pantry.

Local media celebrities to serve up grub for Family Promise

Local media celebrities to serve up grub for Family Promise

It’s print media vs. radio waves as Family Promise of Lincoln County announces its next Celebrity Server event featuring Roger Robertson of KBCH-AM (1400) and Patrick Alexander of Oregon Coast Today.

Robertson and Alexander will square off Tuesday, March 19, at the Chinook Winds Seafood Grill to raise money for Family Promise, a local program to help homeless families.

The contenders are mates in their new office space at 4741 SW Highway 101 in Lincoln City, so they are out to prove who is the “best in the office” — either print or radio in getting the word out, especially about this joint event.

The fun event will feature the two celebrities serving meals ordered from a special menu with “extra” tips for “extra” service going to Family Promise. The gentleman raising the most donations gets bragging rights.

“We ask those attending to dip in a little bit and tip the celebrity servers extra if they entertain you during the dinner service.” Family Promise Board President Sue Anderson said. “It should be pretty interesting as these two are really up for the challenge.”

The Celebrity Server event consists of local “celebrities” who volunteer to invite 20 or so of their friends to a local restaurant on a date that is determined by all parties involved. The event is open to the public.

The restaurant offers to let the celebrities “serve” their friends and guests. In return, those in attendance tip the celebrity server, with all of the “celebrity tips” going to Family Promise. Guests will order from the special menu for the evening and pay for their meals as usual including the tip for the regular servers. The Celebrity must earn the EXTRA tips from the guests by providing excellent service and fun entertainment.

Family Promise serves families in Lincoln County and they encourage families from Lincoln City, Depoe Bay, Newport and other areas of the county to join in the fun.

For more information call Family Promise at 541-614-0964.

Family Promise of Lincoln County is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide shelter, meals and comprehensive assistance to homeless and low-income families with children in Lincoln County while they seek to achieve sustainable, independent living. This is achieved through a collaborative community effort and based off a proven successful national model that partners with local congregations and social service agencies to provide practical and effective services.

Former Lincoln County inmate rewarded for cooking, sewing skills

Curtis Landers

After paying his debt to society, former Lincoln County Jail inmate Pedro Romero-Galicia has mended his life and been rewarded for his domestic skills with a certificate of appreciation from Sheriff Curtis Landers.

Landers honored Romero-Galicia on Feb. 4 after the ex-inmate finished serving a jail sentence and was assigned to various worker positions.

During the day, Romero-Galicia worked in the kitchen with other inmates preparing meals. In the evenings and late into the night, he sewed and mended inmate uniforms and other items.

Romero-Galicia’s  work kept the jail supplied with serviceable uniforms and minimized the number of new uniforms necessary.

“We are thankful for Mr. Romero-Galicia’s efforts and willingness to assist us with this program” Landers said.

The Jail’s mending program started in 2017. Inmates selected to sew have various levels of skill, but prior sewing experience is not required.

Those who have no experience but a willingness to work are given basic training on the sewing machine, something they can take with them into their communities.

Lincoln County Sheriff: ‘Heads up, phones Down.’

Distracted Walking Lincoln City

The problem of distracted walking is a relatively new one. Each year, more and more people are injured as a result of texting, talking or listening to music while on their cell phones.

Distracted driving is a well-established problem; so much so, that many states including Oregon, currently have bans in place when it comes to using technology while driving.

While some might laugh at the person who falls into the fountain while texting or the one who walks into a wall while texting, the problem of distracted walking is a very real and serious one.

The city of Honolulu, Hawaii is the first major U.S. city to ban “distracted walking.” It recently passed a law carrying a fine for a pedestrian crossing a street or highway while viewing a mobile electronic device. A few other cities are watching and taking inspiration from this.

According to the most recent data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 5,977 pedestrians were killed and an estimated 85,000 injured in traffic collisions in the United States in 2017. That’s one death every 1.6 hours and an injury every 6 minutes. While it’s not clear how many of these are a direct result of distracted walking, the total rate of pedestrian fatalities compared to overall road deaths is increasing each year.

Hospitals are seeing people who were injured seriously enough to seek medical attention at the emergency room as a result of texting and walking, and at increasing numbers each year. It’s not just texting while walking that’s a problem. Talking, checking email, using social networking apps and even playing games all contribute to the problem of distracted pedestrians.

The solution to distracted walking is a fairly simple one: do not use your cell phone or engage in other distracting activities while walking. Focus solely on the task at hand – getting from point A to point B in one piece and worry about checking in once you’ve safely arrived.

That text or email can wait.

Ensure you cross the road at crosswalks or signalized intersections and obey your traffic signals as well.

Take the lead in your own safety, and remember:  “Heads Up, Phones Down.”
