TREE LIGHTING PARTY & SANTA SALE

FIFTH ANNUAL HOLIDAY TREE LIGHTING PARTY &
SANTA SALE THANKSGIVING WEEKEND AT THE LCCC

LINCOLN CITY – Come one, come all, to Lincoln City’s official holiday kickoff event: the fifth annual Tree Lighting Party & Santa Sale, Nov. 25 and 26 at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. The community is invited to attend and enjoy two days of free family fun during Thanksgiving Weekend.

This free public event will launch the Lincoln City holiday season with an ornament workshop, live music, a visit from Santa, yummy cakewalk and a vendor sale of handmade goods. The event will be open from noon to 7 pm on Friday, Nov. 25, and from 10 am to 4 pm on Saturday, Nov. 26. Admission and parking are free.

This two-day event is a gift to the community from the Lincoln City Cultural Center, its staff and volunteers, along with generous sponsors from the local business community. The tree will be provided by Noble Creek Tree Farm, felled by Capt. Jim Kusz of the North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District, and transported by Lincoln City Towing. Once at the center, the 20-foot Noble Fir tree will be installed by local crews from Pacific Power and decorated by Chessman Gallery director Krista Eddy, with help from event manager Judy Hardy, information center volunteer Dawn Bredimus and a crew of LCCC volunteer elves.

This year, the tree will be located on the northwest corner of the center property, near the auditorium. It will first be illuminated at sunset on the day after Thanksgiving and, weather willing, it will shine with holiday spirit every evening through the month of December. This year, the LCCC’s community holiday display is being “greened” with renewable energy by the Pacific Power Blue Sky program. The utility has pledged to acquire renewable energy certificates, equal to the amount of power required for the five-week lighting display.

FRIDAY EVENTS

The doors to the Lincoln City Cultural Center, inside the historic Delake School building at NE Sixth St. and Hwy. 101, will open at noon on Friday, Nov. 25. All are welcome to shop the Santa Sale vendors, the Chessman Gallery and the LCCC Members Gift Shop, open from noon to 7 pm.

From 2-5 pm, kids of all ages are invited to Krista Eddy’s famous Make-and-Take Ornament Workshop. In this year’s creative, fun and free family art project, you can design and assemble your own cardboard Christmas snowflake ornament. Then, you can glue it together and adorn it with your choice of glitter sparkles. All ages are welcome, but kids under the age of eight should be accompanied by an adult.

At 5 pm, Kenny’s IGA will provide cookies and hot chocolate, while talented Sweet Adelines offer their annual gift of Christmas carols. At around 5:15, around the tree on the northwest lawn, Mayor Don Williams will lead the crowd in the countdown (if the weather is too stormy, the countdown and singing will take place indoors, in Margaret’s Meeting Room).

After the tree is illuminated and the crowd sings another carol, Santa Claus will arrive via fire engine (thanks to the North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District volunteers). Kris Kringle will disembark at the south entrance, and make his way down the hall to the auditorium stage, where he will hear wishes and give away candy canes until 7 pm.

The annual Tree Lighting Party Cake Walk, featuring tasty donated cookies, cupcakes and other baked goods, will begin at 6 pm in the dance studio.

Volunteers are still needed for decoration crews Nov. 14-18, and for the event on Nov. 25. To help out, call Judy at 541-994-9994.

SATURDAY EVENTS

The fun will continue on Saturday, Nov. 26, from 10 am to 4 pm. Among the attractions will be:

1) The Chessman Gallery, which will feature a show called “Little Houses.” It has been said that in dreams, a house represents one’s self. Using this metaphor, artist Kate Saunders has created small houses made from fused glass and textural mixed media, representing people, or groups of people. Enjoy a display of these works, along with poetry by Ger Killeen, with readings available by QR codes on your smart phone or tablet.

2) The (Not Quite 11th Hour) Santa Sale, a tradition at the LCCC launched more than a decade ago by Arlene and Lyle Gowing. This juried show of 24 artists will offer a delightful buffet of handmade gifts, from ornaments and rugs to jewelry and wearable art. You’ll find wreaths, nuts, knitted items and more, all through the auditorium and hallways. This year’s event is being managed by Phil Robertson and All Ways Travel, for more information call 541-921-4716.

3) The LCCC Members Gift Shop, with festive linens, ornaments, cards and other holiday gifts to place under your tree. You’ll find ceramics, table runners, photo cards, dolls, paintings and more. Purchase your gifts through this shop, and you’ll benefit both the local artisan and the Cultural Center.

4) Face Painting by Julie Fiedler, offering the beautiful, artistic décor that will brighten your holiday. Julie has made her reputation at the Lincoln City Farmers Market, and will offer face painting for all ages, by donation.

 

The Lincoln City Cultural Center is a non-profit center for community and creativity, inside the historic Delake School building, at the corner of NE Sixth St. and Hwy. 101. The center, which is also home to the official Lincoln City Visitor Information Center, is open from 10 am to 5 pm every day except Tuesday. For details, head to www.lincolncity-culturalcenter.org, or call 541-994-9994.

Donald Trump Wins Presidency

I stayed up all night watching the election. I was there with my camera and all I could do was capture the moment.

Donald J Trump will be the 45th President of the United States of America.

Trump wants to make you proud of him. He plans to do this with massive infrastructure projects that could put millions of Americans to work. He wants to fix our trade agreements and bring jobs back from overseas.

Giving Tuesday Nov 29th

GIVE LOCAL, FEEL GREAT: “SHOP” AT THE
GENEROSITY BAZAAR ON GIVING TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 29

LINCOLN CITY – We’ve got Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Now there’s a day for generosity and the real spirit of the holidays, when we can experience the joy of giving to others? Its Giving Tuesday, a day dedicated to charity in the holiday season, nationwide and right here at home. You’re invited to take this opportunity to give in whatever way feels right to you: with money, food, toys, time or all of the above, on Tuesday, Nov. 29. Then, share the joy online, telling your networks about #givingtuesday, and by using the hashtags #oregoniansgive and #lincolncitygives, too.
To give in person, head to the #LincolnCityGives Giving Tuesday Generosity Bazaar, Nov. 29 at the Lincoln City Cultural Center. It will be a one-stop giving destination, where “shoppers” can browse booths staffed by 15 local nonprofits, service clubs and student groups, all raising money for good causes in Lincoln City. There will be complimentary donuts and coffee, festive music and all the donation receipts your accountant could ever want, all under one roof.
giving tuesday“Last year’s Giving Tuesday Generosity Bazaar was a wonderful experience, generating barrels full of food and toys, heart-warming donations for all our participating groups, and a lovely sense of holiday spirit. Don’t think that you can’t make a difference, no matter what your circumstances might be. Give money or give time, make a pledge or pay it forward – Giving Tuesday will make you feel like you belong to something good – I guarantee,” said Niki Price, head of the LCCC and co-organizer of the #lincolncitygives project. “Bring a child in your life, and give him or her the chance to be generous, this holiday season.
“We welcome all local charities, nonprofits and student groups to join us in the Generosity Bazaar. Booth space is free, admission is free, and the warm fuzzy feelings are free, too. We’re also accepting donations of food from local restaurants, and the time of local musicians who can provide some festive tunes, at some point during the day.”
Most of all, the Generosity Bazaar needs kind-hearted Lincoln City people, who want to make a difference through these local nonprofits. Here are just a few of the ways you can give on Nov. 29:
Bring donations of non-perishable food for the Lincoln City Food Pantry, and new, unwrapped toys for the North Lincoln Fire & Rescue District volunteer toy drive.
Hear the students of the St. James Santiago School perform songs celebrating Diwali. Their program will begin around 1:30 pm.
Buy fresh holiday wreaths, for your home or to ship to a loved one, to fund Rotary scholarships for local high school students headed to college.
Learn more about the Lincoln City Warming Shelter, Warm & Dry and the Lincoln City Homeless Solutions groups, which work together to provide clothing and shelter to the growing population of homeless people on the coast. They’ll be accepting donations of cash and checks, as well as clean, warm jackets for men and women.
Purchase a 2017 Pet Calendar from the FOLCAS (Friends of the Lincoln County Animal Shelter) to pay for care and feeding of dogs and cats at the shelter. Or, festively-wrapped packages of hazelnuts, to benefit the PEO Sisterhood and its scholarship programs for women.
Give homeless kids a hand, by donating to Family Promise of Lincoln City, which helps provide homeless families with food, shelter and transitional housing. They’ll have a prize raffle, with your chance to win jewelry, art and a glass float.
Eat a hearty lunch – an 8-ounce baked potato with all the fixings, plus a beverage – for just $5, to benefit the Lincoln City Cultural Center. LCCC volunteers will also be selling Chessman Gallery T-shirts and concert ticket gift packages
Learn about volunteering opportunities, at these and other Lincoln City nonprofits.
Take an “unselfie” at your chosen booth, and post it on your Facebook page, Twitter feed or Instagram account using #lincolncitygives, #oregoniansgive or #givingtuesday. This will help to raise awareness of the day, and the Bazaar.

The participating nonprofits will also be spreading the word throughout the month, using the hashtags #givingtuesday, #oregoniansgive and #lincolncitygives. The idea is to get the word out among diverse social networks, raising awareness for charitable giving online as well as attendance at the Nov 29 Generosity Bazaar at the LCCC.
For more information, or to donate or volunteer, call Niki at 541-994-9994.

ABOUT GIVING TUESDAY
Entering its fifth year, Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the United States, and the widely recognized shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, #GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when many focus on their holiday and end-of-year giving. Since its inaugural year in 2012, #GivingTuesday has become a movement that celebrates and supports giving and philanthropy with events throughout the year and a growing catalog of resources.
The #OregoniansGive effort is a platform for nonprofits across the state to connect with their supporters, with 100% of the proceeds going directly to participating organizations. In 2015, #OregoniansGive helped raise more than $1.8 million for more than 700 nonprofits, representing nearly every county in Oregon. The goal in 2016 is to reach $3.5 million in donations and engage more than 1000 nonprofits, while highlighting some of the amazing work taking place at nonprofits and charities across the state.

Marine Board Approves Boating Facility Grants

Marine Board Approves Boating Facility Grants

logoThe Oregon State Marine Board approved five boating facility grants during their quarterly Board meeting, held on October 26, in Lincoln City. Applicants requested $642,756 in state boater funds for $1,374,851 in project needs. These grants were awarded based on funding availability in Round 2 for the 2015-2017 biennium.

The City of Reedsport applied for a grant for $450,000 in state boater funds to purchase materials for boarding docks, precast concrete boat ramp planks and debris deflection boom sections in advance of construction at the Rainbow Plaza launch ramp. The City of Reedsport is contributing $40,000 for storage of the materials and administrative services. Fabrication historically has a long lead time, so having all of the materials on-site will expedite the construction process.

The Port of Alsea applied for a grant to dredge and repair the debris boom near the boat ramp. Marine Board staff have been working with the Port since 2010 to replace the boat ramp, boarding docks and excavate around the boat ramp, but the project was placed on hold while the Port pursued dredging permits. Sediment has continued to accumulate, especially during the 2015 winter storms where 9,000 cubic yards of sediment were deposited. The Board approved a not to exceed amount of $30,000 in state boater funds to match Port in-kind contributions of $11,595, and $14,487 in cash, combined with FEMA, Lincoln County Urban Renewal and OBDD stipend of $667,695 cash for a total match of $693,777.

The grant award is conditioned upon permits being issued no later than December 31, 2016 and using the state-owned dredge equipment from Coos Bay.

The Board also approved a grant to replace the pumpout and dump station at McCuddy’s Landing Marina (McMarine LLC), on the Multnomah Channel, near Scappoose. The Board authorized $8,000 in state boater funds and $24,000 in federal Clean Vessel Act funds to match McMarine LLC’s contribution of a sewer line installation and all administrative costs for the project.

Detroit Lake Marina and Kane’s Marina are working in partnership to obtain permits and approvals to dredge the marinas, install pilings, add additional gangways, and extend utility connections in order to increase the usability of the facilities in low water years. The pumpout at Detroit Lake Marina has also reached the end of its useful life and will be replaced. The concepts were presented at the Kaizen meeting to permit agencies, who recommended the project be broken into two phases. The Marine Board will be involved only with Phase I, which includes gangways, piling, utility extensions to provide extended access to the pumpout station during the peak boating season. Phase II (dredging) will be funded by other entities. In coordination with the Governor’s Regional Solutions Office, a grant was awarded jointly to the Marinas from Business Oregon Retention Service Program for $15,000 to Pacific Habitat to assist with obtaining permit approvals. Given complexities and timeframes to obtain the necessary permits for the project, the Board approved $8,900.88 in state boater funds and $26,702.62 in federal Clean Vessel Act funds to match Detroit Lake Marina LLC’s contribution of paying the permitting fees and all administration of the project. Additionally, the Board approved $2,921.88 in state boater funds and $8,765.62 in federal Clean Vessel Act funds to match Kane’s Marina LLC’s contribution of permitting and all administration of the project. Both grants have a cancellation provision that permits are issued or will be issued by the January Board meeting.

Finders Keepers Adventure

Many people from all over come to our coast seeking hand-blown glass floats made by local artists for the Finders Keepers event. I set out to discover one of these treasures.

I searched in the grass. I looked under logs. I even asked a few seagulls if they had seen any Float Fairies. Those are real by the way. No luck for me this outing but I will keep trying.

Daylight Saving – FALL BACK NOV 6th

 

Sunday, November 6, 2016, 2:00:00 AM clocks are turned backward 1 hour to
Sunday, November 6, 2016, 1:00:00 AM local standard time instead

Sunrise and sunset will be about 1 hour earlier on Nov 6, 2016 than the day before. There will be more light in the morning.

daylight saving 2016Daylight saving time is fast approaching and that means we are about to head into winter and the holiday season. Sunday, November 6 marks the end of daylight saving time and serves as a good reminder for Oregonians to test their smoke alarms. The Oregon Office of State Fire Marshal is urging residents to test their smoke alarms before automatically changing the batteries.

“Smoke alarm technology has advanced and many now come with 10-year batteries and some are tamper-resistant,” said State Fire Marshal Jim Walker. “So, I encourage residents to test their alarms before changing the battery.”

Oregon law requires ionization-only smoke alarms that are solely battery powered to come equipped with a hush feature and a 10-year battery. Because of this technology, the national slogan “Change your clock, Change your battery” may not apply to Oregon residents who have these ionization-only smoke alarms.

Other types of alarms are also being sold with either a 10-year battery or a standard-life battery.

“Ensuring you have working smoke alarms in your home is the single most important step you can take to increase your family’s safety from a home fire,” adds Walker. “Also, be sure to replace any smoke alarm that is 10 years old or older.”

To test your alarm properly we recommend you:
1) Push the test button to be sure the battery is working.
2) When replacing batteries, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the correct battery type to use.
3) Always retest alarms after installing new batteries.
4) Replace any alarm that fails to operate after installing a new battery.
5) Inspect your alarms to determine if they are 10 years old or older, and replace any smoke alarm 10 years old or older. Look for a date on the back of the alarm. If there is no date, your alarm is more than 10 years old and should be replaced.
6) Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for regularly cleaning your alarms of dust and cobwebs.

Working smoke alarms provide a critical early warning to a fire, allowing you vital minutes to escape, which increase your chances of survival. Additional safety tips:
Install smoke alarms on every level of your home, in each bedroom, and outside each sleeping area (hallway).
Never disconnect or remove batteries from smoke alarms for other uses.
Use the smoke alarm’s hush feature to silence nuisance alarms.
Make a home fire escape plan and practice it with family members.
Practice you home fire escape plan at least two times a year at different times of the day/night.
Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out. Ensure that someone will help them

Along with remembering to check your smoke detector batteries and set your clocks back it is important to think about your emergency preparedness plan. This is not just a great idea for families and schools but for businesses and communities to discuss. The first step is devising a plan for each major type of incident. This can be as simple as where you will meet, who is responsible for accounting for individuals and where the emergency supplies will be located. The next step is to work on building your emergency kit and then ensuring everyone is educated on the plans. We have attached a link to the Los Angeles Fire Department Emergency Preparedness Guide to help you through the process.
