Federal communications test set 11:18 a.m. Wednesday
Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office informs the public of a Federal Communications test at 11:18 a.m. Wednesday, Oct. 3 following the postponement of the test from Thursday, Sept. 20, due to Hurricane Florence.
Additional state and federal information regarding this national test is posted on the County website at http://www.co.lincoln.or.us/emergencymanagement/page/federal-communications-test. Included is a reference document of how emergency communication/notification systems are coordinated in Lincoln County.
Our goal is to inform the public in advance that the cell phone test message they will receive on Wednesday, Oct. 3, from the Federal government, not your local Lincoln Alerts program.
Who is Affected?
Mobile (cell phones) that are:
Turned on
Within range of an active cell phone tower
Whose wireless carrier participates in the Federal Wireless Emergency Alert program
Radio and television stations that receive the Federal Emergency Alert System (EAS) messages
What to Expect?
At 11:18 a.m. mobile (cell phone) devices will receive a text message that “should” state: “Presidential Alert – THIS IS A TEST of the National Wireless Emergency Alert System. No action is needed.”
At 11:20 a.m. radio and television stations should receive an automated EAS message similar to the monthly test messages that regularly occur.
When will this occur?
Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 11:18 and 11:20 a.m.
What Else Should I Know or Do?
If you do not receive a message do not be alarmed – there is no action to take if you do not receive the message.
Tune in to your local radio station at 11:20 a.m. and listen to the national EAS test.
If you have not signed up for your LOCAL (Lincoln Alerts) community emergency notification system, consider doing so or update your information if needed.
Where do I get more information about this test and the IPAWS system?

Thursday’s FEMA Emergency Alert test delayed by Hurricane Florence
DeMello, Orendorff pace Taft; Hindman wins JV race
PHOTOS BY ERIC DEMELLO
Taft junior Eli DeMello placed fifth for the boys and junior Brooke Orendorff ninth for the girls Thursday in the Conquer the Hill Invitational cross country meet in Sheridan.
“The challenging long rolling hills course with a finish up a hill onto the track had athletes fighting to the end in 90-degree heat,” Taft coach Mandy Weiss said. “All our athletes competed well under the running conditions with smiles on their faces as we left to head home to the coastal air.”
Taft junior Lucas Hindman won the boys 3,000-meter junior varsity race, while freshman Joseph McCormick was 10th.
Sixth-graders Ryan Best placed third and Trenton Battle fifth for the boys middle-schoolers. Eighth-grader Mugen Evenson was ninth and sixth-grader Ryuma Evenson 10th.
Sixth-grader Julia Towers was fifth for the girls.

Coast Guard aircrew medevacs woman off Grand Princess near Newport
A U.S. Coast Guard aircrew medically evacuated an ill woman off of a cruise ship transiting 55 miles southwest of Newport on Saturday morning.
An aircrew aboard an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter from Coast Guard Air Facility Newport arrived on scene with the cruise ship Grand Princess at 8:40 a.m. and evacuated a 77-year-old female suffering symptoms related to a stroke before transferring her to a Life Flight aircrew in Newport.
Watchstanders at the Coast Guard 13th District Command Center in Seattle received a phone call from the navigator of the Grand Princess at 6:55 a.m. reporting the passengers medical issue. An aircrew from Air Facility Newport was immediately directed to launch to provide assistance.
The Life Flight aircrew transferred the patient to Legacy Emmanuel Hospital in Portland. The condition of the female is unknown at this time.
The cruise ship’s last port of call was Victoria, British Columbia. It was transiting south to San Francisco.
Amity 48, Taft 7
Warriors start fast, roll to league win
Amity High proved there’s nothing phony about its No. 1 ranking in small-school Oregon football Friday, rolling to a 48-0 halftime lead before a running second-half mercy clock expired on a 48-7 Special District 1 West Conference victory over Taft at Voris Field.
The Warriors scored on a 74-yard run on the game’s first play to improve to 5-0 with its fifth straight dominating victory, while the Tigers fell to 1-4.
Taft wide receiver Fco Ramos scored Taft’s only touchdown on a short pass from fellow sophomore Antonio Saurez as the clock wound down on the game.
The Tigers return to action in another Class 3A SD1 West Division league game at 7 p.m. Friday at Clatskanie.
This post will be updated with Taft Coach Jake Tolan’s comments
First Quarter
Amity scored on a 74-yard run by senior running back West Streeter on the game’s first play and converted the two-point conversion for an 8-0 lead.
Taft punted the ball back to Amity after going nowhere on its first possession. Amity took possession on its 36, but was forced into a fourth down, where Streeter gained 13 yards to the Taft 30. Senior running back Brian Hatch broke up the middle for a first-and-goal at the 5, where he scored on the next play to make it 14-0 following a failed two-point conversion pass.
Taft took possession at its own 29 on the ensuing possession and converted a first down on a 10-yard pass from senior quarterback David Jin to sophomore wideout JJ French. French gained 19 yards on another reception from Jin inside of Amity territory.
Jin hit senior wide receiver Tyee Fisher to the Warriors’ 30 yard-line. Fisher made it back-to-back receptions to the 20, where French hauled in a pass from Jin for first-and-goal at the 3. After a run went nowhere and two passes fell incomplete, the Tigers went for the touchdown rather than attempt a field goal and turned over possession on another incompletion.
Streeter ran for 40 yards from his own 3 to move the ball to near midfield. Hatch then ran to the Taft 30, and again for a score from the 19 and a 22-0 lead after the two-point conversion pass culminated a 97-yard drive.
Taft failed to move the ball and punted to the Warriors, who fumbled the return and the Tigers took possession on Jin’s recovery at the Amity 29.
The first-quarter clock expired two plays later.
Second Quarter
Taft again surrendered possession after failing to convert on fourth down on the first play of the second period. Amity assumed possession at its own 20. Streeter then ran 58 yards for a score to make it 28-0 after the conversion attempt failed.
Amity recovered a Taft fumble on the ensuing kick at the Tigers’ 25, where the Tigers forced a fourth-and-long situation before Streeter managed to gain just enough for the first down at the 15. Junior running back Cody Dyche scored a couple of plays later to make it 35-0 after the point-after midway through the quarter.
Taft took possession following the kick at its own 34 with about seven minutes to play in the opening half. A reception by senior receiver Logan McLendon left Taft a yard short for fourth down before the Tigers gave the ball back to the Warriors at their own 43 with 6:34 left before intermission.
Streeter ran through the Taft interior into Tiger territory and Amity powered its way inside the red zone, before Streeter walked in for his third touchdown from the 10 and a 42-0 lead after a successful PAT.
An interception set Amity up deep in Taft territory moments later before the Warriors bullied their way to the 1 inside of two minutes. Dyche scored his second touchdown of the game from there to make it 48-0 just before half after the Warriors took a knee in a show of sportsmanship.
Halftime
Third Quarter
Oregon’s 45-point “mercy” rule brought on a running clock for the remainder of the game.
Taft took possession of the second half kick behind backup sophomore quarterback Antonio Suarez, making his first varsity experience following an injury to Jin late in the second quarter.
The Tigers failed to move the ball but regained possession on a recovered fumble moments later. Taft again went three-and-out as the running clock breezed to the midway point of the quarter. Another fumble recovery by Taft gave the Tigers possession on the ensuing series.
The Tigers went nowhere from there and turned the ball over on downs near midfield. Amity took possession inside of three minutes as both teams underwent some personnel changes with the game out of hand.
Two running plays gave the Warriors a first down before the clock expired on a scoreless third quarter.
Fourth Quarter
Taft held Amity on downs on the period’s first possession before French ran for 11 yards to his own 15 for a first down with 7:23 remaining. French caught a 13-yard pass from Saurez for another first down to the 26.
A roughing the passer call following a 17-yard reception by sophomore Fco Ramos moved the ball up field before the Tigers advanced the ball inside the Amity 30. Taft junior running back Logan Gilleo gained another first down on a pass from Saurez for a first down.
Ramos then caught a 12-yard pass from Saurez for first-and-goal inside the 5 with two minutes left. Saurez then hit Ramos in the end zone on the next play to make it 48-7 with 1:17 to play.
Amity recovered an onside kick and ran out the clock from there.

Great Oregon ShakeOut welcomes community participation.
Lincoln County Emergency Management is urging citizens and businesses to register and participate in the 2018 Great Oregon ShakeOut.
While the potential earthquake hazard depends upon your location, you could be anywhere when an earthquake strikes — at home, at work, at school or even on vacation. What we do now will determine our quality of life after an earthquake occurs.
There are two more opportunities to learn about our local earthquake risks by attending the Cascadia Subduction Zone Presentations on October 18 at 02:00 pm or 06:00 pm, in Newport at the Oregon Coast Community College. This will be the final round of these presentations for the fall season.
If you, your family, your business/employer, or community group plan to practice your “drop, cover and hold on” response, we would appreciate you registering at http://shakeout.org/oregon/ . By registering you will assist your Lincoln County Public Safety agencies with documenting the progressive nature of our community and demonstrating we are working to strengthen our community resiliency.
The Great Oregon ShakeOut is an annual opportunity to practice “Drop, Cover and Hold On” for sixty seconds. The ShakeOut has also been organized to encourage you, your community, your school, or your organization to review and update emergency preparedness plans and supplies, and to secure your space in order to prevent damage and injuries. Registration totals from Great ShakeOut Earthquake Drills across the U.S. are also included in America’s PrepareAthon! participation totals. The Great Oregon ShakeOut website has several tools and information sheets for your community group, family or business that you can use to create a drill or take preparedness steps. To register or learn more go to www.shakeout.org/oregon
Oregon ShakeOut Statistics – https://www.shakeout.org/statistics/
If you are new to our coastal communities or unfamiliar with our earthquake hazards then you need to know that Oregon lies at a convergent continental boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. The Cascadia Subduction Zone is actually a 600 mile long earthquake fault stretching from offshore northern California to southern British Columbia. This fault builds up stress for hundreds of years as the Juan de Fuca and North America Plates push against each other. Eventually, the two plates rip apart, creating some of the largest earthquakes and tsunamis on earth. Where the Juan de Fuca oceanic plate and the North American continental plate meet is called a subduction zone, because the denser Juan de Fuca Plate is being pulled under North America. The Juan de Fuca Plate is moving to the northeast at about an inch a year as the North American Plate moves west. The Oregon coastline is actually bulging upward from the two plates pushing against each other.
There are over 1000 earthquakes over magnitude 1.0 in Washington and Oregon every year, with at least two dozen being large enough to be felt. Approximately 17 people have lost their lives due to earthquakes in the Pacific Northwest. Since 1872, there have been 20 damaging earthquakes in Washington and Oregon. The Pacific coast poses special risk from tsunamis associated with a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. In addition to subduction zone earthquakes, Oregon is also susceptible to crustal earthquakes. The two largest earthquakes in recent years in Oregon, Scotts Mills, (magnitude 5.6) and the Klamath Falls, main shocks (magnitude 5.9 and magnitude 6.0) of 1993 were crustal earthquakes.

Constitutional issues over political signs force special Council meeting
The Lincoln City City Council will hold a special meeting Monday, Oct. 1, to vote on a staff recommendation to add a new signage chapter to the municipal code and declare an emergency to enforce immediate implementation.
The Ordinance proposes removing some content-based labels on types of temporary signs. The Council has received threats that certain content labels render the ordinance unconstitutional as it relates to political signs. Removal of such labels should clarify content neutrality.
An election is scheduled for Nov. 6, 2018. Challenges to City regulations concerning signage can be costly and unnecessarily distract from important city business.
The City Manager has been warned of possible sign litigation. To avoid unnecessary litigation the Council desires to clarify the content neutrality of sign regulations during election periods.
The Lincoln City Charter Chapter IX, Section 9.3, expressly authorizes the City Council to adopt an emergency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health or safety upon making a statement declaring the basis of the emergency.
Council finds and determines that conditions in the City of Lincoln City are such that this Ordinance is necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and welfare; an emergency is declared to exist, specifically because the impending election has resulted in threats of litigation over signage regulations. The immediate effectiveness of this ordinance will clarify content neutrality as regards election time signage. Therefore, pursuant to the City Charter, this ordinance shall be in full force and effect immediately upon passage and signature.

Injury-depleted Tigers host No. 1 Amity in season’s toughest test yet
Tune in tonight for Homepage’s live, breaking, play-by-play coverage of the Tigers’ league-opening game
Just when you thought things couldn’t get much tougher for the Taft High football team, enter the No. 1 team in the state for a league opener against an injury-depleted lineup looking to turn its fortunes around.
The 1-3 Tigers, who have already played two perennial State playoff powers and a couple who competed in bigger conferences until recently, are well aware of the mighty Warriors, having shared conference affiliation with them throughout the years in all sports and both genders.
“We know a lot about Amity,” said Taft Coach Jake Tolan, whose Tigers host the Warriors at 7 p.m. at Voris Field. “We know what they will run both offensively and defensively.”
So what is it that has allowed the Warriors to amass a 206-34 (51.5 to 8.5 points per game) scoring advantage over four outclassed opponents this season?
“What they do is actually very simple, but they do it very well,” Tolan said. “They are No. 1 for a reason and haven’t really been tested yet this year. We hope to go out and just compete.”
“Unlike last year where we gave up a bunch of rushing yards to them, this week we’ve worked a lot on assignment football — making sure all 11 guys are focused on individual assignments on each play in hope to be able to at least slow them down,” Tolan said.
Amity has rolled past St. Mary’s Medford, 51-7; Neah-Kah-Nie, 60-20; Salem Academy, 47-7; and Coquille, 48-0, with three of the games on the road. Playing its fourth game of the year away from home, Coach Joel Magill’s squad has just three games scheduled this season in its friendly confines – until the playoffs, that is.
As if the presence of the state’s top-ranked Class 3A team wasn’t enough, the Tigers will be missing four starters due to injuries incurred in previous games. Missing in the Special District 1 West Conference opener will be defensive lineman Tyrese Hellman and defensive back Darius Smith, who are out on concussion protocol; lineman Jace Fostveit with a wrist sprain; and defensive end Micah Davis, who has been lost for the season with a leg injury.
“So a lot of this week has also been focused on getting replacement players in the right spots so they can be successful,” Tolan said.
Things don’t get any easier foe the Tigers after Friday either. Taft hits the road for two league games (Clatskanie and Willamina) before returning home to close out the regular season with two more (Dayton and Rainier), including matchups against the second- and third-ranked teams in the state.
