Local heroes cited by police for bravery in helping apprehend assailant

Two local men have been cited for their bravery in assisting police officers in distress in the apprehension of an assailant involved in a late-night fight.

Austin DePaolis and Zachary Bickerdyke received special recognition for their courage on behalf of the Lincoln City Police Department (LCPD) and city legislators Monday at the Lincoln City City Council’s regular session at City Hall.

“It’s obvious that had these individuals not joined this fight, our officers may have struggled a lot harder and could have been more seriously injured,” LCPD Police Chief Jerry Palmer said.

According to a background report, officers were dispatched to a fight involving multiple people on Highway 101 at D River just after midnight on July 16.

DePaolis had been traveling southbound on 101 when he observed the altercation. He was calling 911 when he saw LCPD Officer Jim Hoydic arrive and several of the people involved in the fight run away.

As Hoydic exited his vehicle, one of the males attacked him, landing a blow to the officer’s head and face.

Hoydic deployed his baton, landing several strikes that did not appear to affect the attacker. When DePaolis saw the assailant continue to advance and wrestle with Hoydic, he ran to the officer’s aid.

The attacker landed knee strikes to Hoydic when DePaolis jumped on the aggressor’s back and put a neck hold on him. Officer KC Claunts then arrived on scene and joined the fight.

All three got the attacker on the ground, but couldn’t gain control. Officer Claunts attempted to deploy a taser, but the unit failed to discharge. Officer Summer Danneker and Bickerdyke then arrived on scene.

After Bickerdyke was able to control the attacker’s legs, Officer Claunts got hold of one arm and Hoydic and Danneker control of the other and handcuffed the assailant.

The male continued to fight, and leg restraints had to be applied before they got the subject under control.

A male victim of the attacker was transported to Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital for injuries, while Hoydic was treated for head, shoulder and knee injuries and forced to take several days off to recover.

The suspect was medically evaluated before being jailed.

It is the belief of all the officers on scene that Hoydic, and perhaps others, would have been more seriously injured had DePaolis and Bickerdyke not intervened.

“Thank you gentlemen for your efforts and chief for bringing this forward and making a nice ceremony out of it,” Lincoln City Mayor Dick Anderson said.

Oregon July unemployment rate matches record-low 4 percent

Oregon July unemployment rate matches record-low 4 percent

Oregon’s unemployment rate was 4.0 percent in July, the same as the revised June rate of 4.0 percent and the state’s lowest unemployment rate in the current series dating to 1976.

It tied the 4.0 percent unemployment rate reached in the state in May, June, and July 2018. The U.S. unemployment rate was 3.7 percent in both June and July 2019.

In July, Oregon’s total nonfarm payroll employment added 2,400 jobs, following an over-the-month loss of 1,000 jobs, as revised, in June. Monthly gains for July were strongest in professional and business services (+1,300 jobs); health care and social assistance (+1,100); and construction (+800). Two industries cut more than 1,000 jobs in July: leisure and hospitality(-1,100 jobs) and government (-1,300).

Newly revised payroll employment figures show that there was minimal growth of only 2,000 jobs between December 2018 and March 2019, which was much weaker growth in the first quarter of 2019 than was originally estimated. Oregon’s total nonfarm employment for March is now pegged at 1,931,900 jobs.

Looking at longer-term trends, the new numbers show Oregon’s economy growing moderately for quite some time. Since July 2018, total nonfarm payroll employment was up 29,600 jobs, or 1.6 percent. In fact, Oregon’s over-the-year job growth has averaged 1.6 percent during the past 16 months.

The most rapid gains since July 2018 were in transportation, warehousing, and utilities (+4,500 jobs, or 7.0%) and construction(+4,500 jobs, or 4.3%). Construction’s growth rate, although still rapid, has slowed from the 8.2 percent annual growth it averaged in 2015 through 2018. Several industries contributed to Oregon’s expansion since last July, including health care and social assistance(+8,200 jobs, or 3.2%); manufacturing (+5,000 jobs, or 2.6%); and professional and business services (+5,500 jobs, or 2.2%). However, six major industries were nearly flat or down over the past 12 months, led by retail trade (-2,800 jobs, or -1.3%) and information (-1,500 jobs, or ??’4.4%).

A 15-year-old boy was rescued by his mother and a Surftides employee shortly after noon Saturday, after the teen was separated from his boogie board in the surf near the hotel.

“I was sitting in my hotel room when I heard a man’s voice faintly yelling for help,”  Surftides guest Craig Sturdevant said. “It took me a few moments to discern what he was saying. I went out and looked and he was probably 150 feet out in the water and he was separated from his boogie board.”

That’s when Sturdevant called 911.

“The mother and a gentleman employee from here went out and brought him back in,” he said. “When they got back in, mom was doubled over — she was beat.”

A female hotel employee brought the teen a blanket and wrapped him up to keep him warm.

The boy and his mother could be seen sitting on the beach, staring out at the ocean, minutes after the incident.

“I know he’s scared,” said Sturdevant. “I can’t imagine what mom is feeling. I’m just glad everybody is OK.”

Lincoln City Police arrived on scene and North Lincoln Fire & Rescue was called off as the situation was under control.

“Him and mom will have a good story to tell,” Sturdevant said.

Beach Safety

When visiting the scenic Oregon coast and participating in recreational activities, safety should be a concern.

Tragic water accidents happen quickly. The most common reason for aquatic mishaps is a lack of safety knowledge. We recommend the following safety tips:

  • Learn to swim.
  • Never swim alone.
  • Supervise children closely.
  • Always tell someone else when and where you plan to enter the ocean, whether to surf, swim, skim or boogie board or to take part in any other ocean or beach-related activities.
  • Always remember the ocean in this area is normally 55 degrees Fahrenheit or colder.  it is good idea to use a wetsuit or other protective gear when swimming.  In these temperatures, it takes just minutes for hypothermia to set in.
  • Don’t rely on flotation devices, such as rafts.
  • If caught in a rip current, swim sideways until free; parallel to the beach. Don’t swim against the current’s pull.
  • Alcohol and swimming, surfing, windsurfing or boating don’t mix.
  • Protect your head, neck and spine. Don’t dive into unfamiliar waters.
  • If you are in trouble, call or wave for help.
  • Follow posted regulations.
  • Swim parallel to shore if you wish to swim long distances.
  • Scuba dive only if trained and certified — and within the limits of your training.
  • No glass containers at the beach — broken glass and bare feet don’t mix.
  • No beach fires except in designated areas.
  • Report hazardous conditions.
  • Stay clear of coastal bluffs. They can collapse and cause injury.
  • Never turn your back to the ocean. You may be swept off coastal bluffs, beaches or tide pool areas and into the water by “sneaker” waves that can come without warning.
  • Do not climb up onto logs on the beach. While they look heavy and sturdy when climbing on them, the smallest wave will roll it over you or a child. Killer logs are real.
  • Be aware of sneaker waves, even on the calmest days. Don’t turn your back on the ocean and keep your eye on the surf. Avoid “Killer Surf.”
  • Have your beach access available to you at all times. A big wave can come right up to a seawall, leaving you no path for safety, getting you cold, wet and possibly swimming when you don’t want to do any of the three.
  • Stay on accessible high ground when storm-agitated surf is on the beach. Oregon State Parks maintains dozens of safe roadside parks and campground access points right along Highway 101 where you can get great photos of dramatic winter surf without endangering yourself.
  • Dress for the weather. Layer your clothes to provide you warmth and comfort. And carry along your rain gear to keep you dry when it does drizzle.

Beware the sneaker wave

They’re called sneaker waves because they appear without warning, often surging high up on the beach with deadly force, and are impossible to predict.
How to play it safe: Never turn your back on the ocean.

Watch those logs

The ocean is strong enough to pick up even the biggest log and plop it down on top of you. Some logs may look small, but even the tiny ones can be waterlogged and weigh tons.
How to play it safe: If you see a log in the surf or on wet sand, stay off it.

Look out for deep water & strong currents

The deeper the water, the greater the risk of falling victim to an undertow (the seaward pull of receding waves breaking onshore). These currents can swiftly sweep unwary beachcombers and waders off their feet and out to sea.
How to play it safe: Stay in shallow water.

Know the tides

Incoming tides isolate rocks from headlands and the shore. Avoid the temptation of strolling out to an interesting rock without knowing when the tide rolls back in. Free tide tables are readily available at state park offices, information centers and many shops and motels.
How to play it safe: Stay off rocks and small, enclosed beaches.

Know when the tide is coming in by visiting the tidetable website at the Hatfield Marine Science Center.

Always assume high waves can reach you

Tides and waves can sweep over rocks, jetties and headlands, knocking you off and carrying you out to sea.
How to play it safe: Assume nothing is “high enough” and avoid exposed rocks, jetties and headlands during strong wave action periods (like during and after storms).

Take care around high, steep cliffs

Assume that all cliff edges are unstable. Wet trails or soft sand and earth can make for unstable footing. Rocks can be slippery even when it isn’t raining.
How to play it safe: Make sure you wear proper footwear, and stick to the trails. Stay behind guard fences and railings, and don’t get too close to the edge.

Heads up

Standing at the base of an oceanside cliff can be dangerous, especially if it has an overhang. In some places, winter storms and high waves have eroded the shoreline, increasing the chance of collapsing landforms and slides.
How to play it safe: Beware of falling rocks, and don’t climb on bluffs and eroding hillsides. Don’t walk along the base of cliffs unless absolutely necessary.

Coastal Jetties Have Hidden Dangers

Waves remove or shift even the largest boulders from the jetties, but underwater currents – which penetrate the structure – remove smaller rocks and sand from the inside of the jetty. And that can create dangers – some visible, others hidden:

  • Sudden larger waves, even in calm weather, can knock a person off balance or into the water
  • Waves and strong currents near the jetty can prevent safe recovery after a fall into the water
  • Open crevasses and sinkholes between large boulders create stepping hazards
  • Slippery rock surfaces caused by sea spray
  • Caverns within the structure, caused by the eroding of stones and sand, could be hidden below a thin surface which can suddenly collapse

How to play it safe: Don’t walk on coastal jetties.

Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital granted $1 million to fight opioid epidemic

Opioid Crisis

Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital has received a three-year $1 million grant as part of nearly $400 million in allocations from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to combat the nation’s opioid crisis.

The investments, obtained in partnership with Lincoln Health & Human Services and Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians, will enable Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) funded community health centers, rural organizations and academic institutions to establish and expand access to integrated substance use disorder and mental health services.

The only other Rural Opioid Implementation Grant recipient through the HRSA in the state was Oregon Washington Health Network in Pendleton.

The announcement comes during Lincoln Community Health Center’s (LCHC) celebration of National Health Center Week. LCHC was one of 27 health centers in Oregon to receive one of the grants in the amount of $167,000 for 2019-2020.

“With this funding we plan on hiring another counselor who will be able to go out into the community to help people with substance use and mental health issues,” LCHC Executive Director Rebecca McBee-Wilson said. “We appreciate this opportunity to further expand our services in Lincoln County.”

The awards support HHS’s Five-Point Opioid Strategy, introduced under President Trump in 2017. The number of patients receiving medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction at HRSA-funded health centers increased 142 percent from 2016 to 2018, and the number of patients receiving buprenorphine, a common form of MAT, has increased 28 percent.

HRSA is awarding more than $200 million to 1,208 health centers across the nation to increase access to high quality, integrated behavioral health services, including the prevention or treatment of mental health conditions and/or substance use disorders, including opioid use disorder through the Integrated Behavioral Health Services (IBHS) program.

In addition to HRSA’s investments in community health centers, HRSA’s Federal Office of Rural Health Policy is awarding more than $111 million to 96 rural organizations across 37 states as part of its Rural Communities Opioid Response Program (RCORP) initiative.

HRSA is also awarding nearly $70 million to Opioid Workforce Expansion Programs (OWEP) for Professionals and Paraprofessionals to fund 64 grantees and over $17 million to Graduate Psychology Education (GPE) Program to fund 49 grantees.

The awards support training across the behavioral health provider spectrum including community health workers, social workers, psychology interns and post-doctoral residents. These programs encourage an integrated approach to training through academic and community partnerships. These workforce investments help clinicians to provide integrated behavioral health care and treatment services in underserved communities.

The funds, which include an evaluation of the initiative, will strengthen rural communities’ capacity to provide needed SUD prevention, treatment, and recovery services and build the evidence base for interventions that are effective in rural settings.
