To the editor As an octogenarian living in Yachats – I will be 86 on Christmas Day — I’m concerned about the changing pattern of deaths from Covid-19.

To the editor: It is rare for a group as diverse as 15neighborhoods to reach a consensus on things outside the short-term rental issue but with Rep. David Gomberg and Lincoln County commission candidate Casey Miller, 15neighborhoods is a resounding “yes” vote for both. David Gomberg is an amazing person in and out of Salem.

To the editor: I am writing this letter to state my strong support for Craig Berdie as the next mayor of the city of Yachats.
