To the editor: Like utilities nationwide, Central Lincoln Peoples Utility District is being greatly challenged by supply chain delays, material shortages, and massive cost increases for delivered materials. Demand for electrical supplies is robust, while transportation bottlenecks and raw material constraints are causing us significant concern over our ability to meet construction timelines.  As we address these issues, Central Lincoln

To the editor: The conditional use request for the Agate Point development is going to be considered June 21 by the Yachats Planning Commission. The question is, does the community want to have input over issues like this? Judging by the response so far, the answer is a resounding yes. Yachat’s reputation as “The Gem of the Oregon Coast” is mentioned in

To the editor: This is in response to the Yachats Action Alliance letter on the YachatsNews site. We appreciate the time you have spent articulating your reasons for opposing our Cottages at Agate Point project. We were very much hoping to be able to address some of your issues in person last week at the public forum we organized, however,

To the editor: Rep. David Gomberg, the Newport News-Times (“Charges to be dismissed in July 4 rioting case,” May 18) and Otis resident Ken Sund (“Lincoln County goes lenient on Russian thugs,” News-Times letter, May 25) all have raised questions about why Lincoln County let a bunch of goons from Clark County, Wash.

To the editor: South of the Yachats River, on Yachats Ocean Road, a developer is seeking to build Agate Point resort.  To do so would require the city to ignore relevant code, bypass community goals established in the Yachats Comprehensive Plan, and would disregard the sentiments of both neighbors and the broader community.  There is no compelling reason for the

To the editor: This letter is in response to the May 19 YachatsNews story: “Yachats Council says ‘not now’ to forming a Citizens Involvement Committee.” I could easily write a thousand words on this subject, but I think it better to just boil it down to the facts. The city wasn’t asked to create a citizens involvement committee. The city

To the editor: This letter is in response to the April 18 letter from Dr. Lesley Ogden, chief executive officer of Samaritan Health Services’ two hospitals in Lincoln County. Despite Ogden’s efforts to improve the patient experience, I feel it’s too little too late. There has been a noticeable downward turn in patient care since the new hospital opened in

To the editor: I write this letter in solid support of Walter Chuck for Lincoln County commissioner. As the retiring commissioner currently holding that position, I know Walter Chuck is clearly the most qualified candidate and has earned and deserves your vote. Chuck presently serves as a Port of Newport commissioner where he has demonstrated the critical analytical skills, knowledge,

To the editor: Because of my involvement in Ballot Measure 21-203, voters ask me who I support for the two open positions on the Lincoln County Board of Commissioners. My response: “Casey Miller for Position 1 and incumbent Kaety Jacobson for Position 3.” Then shock sets in. “How can you support Kaety? She spoke out against Ballot Measure 21-203 before

To the editor: This letter is in support of Casey Miller, who is running for Lincoln County commissioner. I have known Casey for about eight years and have found him very reliable and helpful in his capacity as communications officer for the county. I have seen him approach his work professionally, with integrity and with follow through. As far as the
