To the editor: During the Feb. 1 Yachats Parks & Commons Commission meeting I commented on the Yachats Youth and Family Program and made a motion that the commission vote to acknowledge and thank YYFAP for more than 28 years of service to our community. The motion passed unanimously with all seven commissioners voting yes. A recording of the meeting

To the editor: Lincoln County ballot measure 21-203 is not yet the “law of the land.” Passed by a landslide 58 to 42 percent margin last November to help preserve our neighborhoods and restore our long-term housing stock, it would stop new short-term rental licensing and phase out many existing ones in unincorporated Lincoln County. The short-term rental industry quickly

To the editor: I am one of the “bystanders” who attempted to save Steve Allen when he fell into the water at Devils Churn on Sept. 9, 2021.

In your letter you stated that you were unaware of the negative response from the Yachats community about your Agate Point proposal. At the meeting in July it was apparent that

To the editor: My name is Chris Fletcher. My brother Jonathan and I are apparently the greedy profit-at-any-cost developers from California that have been batted around on the Yachats Village Residents Facebook group recently. We have just recently become aware of the enormous groundswell of opposition to the Agate Point project that we have presented to the community for consideration

To the editor: It isn’t often that voters have an opportunity to vote in the affirmative on a ballot measure, but that chance has arrived. You can save your neighborhood. You have the power to vote to limit the harm that our Lincoln County commissioners are unable or unwilling to limit. Stand now with your neighbor and vote yes on
