Former Waldport council member urges signing of recall petitions

September 1, 2025
To the editor As a former member of the Waldport City Council, I have significant concerns about the current action and inaction of the council. The city council has abdicated its role of supervision of the city manager and its responsibility for the operation of the city and its obligations to the citizens. The council has let the city manager

Search for the facts. Commissioners’ recall effort is not a “culture war”

August 28, 2025
To the editor: To paint those people in favor of recalling Lincoln County Commissioner Claire Hall with the broad brush of transphobia is lazy, irresponsible, and also insulting.

August 7, 2025
To the editor: Recent news stories about the Willamette Falls Trust and a $45 million state grant paints a picture of tribal tensions and controversy. But that narrative overlooks a more powerful truth — the Willamette Falls Trust is a story of enduring Tribal histories and traditions, inspiring collaboration toward a shared goal of public access and connection to a

Aren’t there more important things we should be discussing?

July 12, 2025
To the editor: I’m writing in response to The Oregonian/OregonLive’s story the Lincoln Chronicle published about three high school girls suing to ban transgender athletes from girls high school sports. Competition in sports has been an important part of people’s lives for a very long time. The benefits around both individual and team sports is unarguable. Sportsmanship, equity, and respect
