To the editor: I want to thank Lincoln County voters and my many supporters in the race for Lincoln County Circuit Position 1. It’s been another invigorating campaign, and before its completion I want each of you to know that I deeply appreciate your questions, involvement, and enthusiastic support despite this difficult time for all of us. I ask for

To the editor: As an 80-year-old woman, I’ve experienced a lot in my life. Plenty of failures followed by my share of successes. I was Boise Cascade’s first female executive during a time women didn’t dare think about the entering the boardroom. But I’ve learned a lot along the way. And one of those things is to think for myself.  Not

To the editor: Over the last 21 years I worked for four elected Lincoln County district attorneys, the last 10 years as office manager. In criminal justice, the best prosecution model is a prosecutor’s focus on a just outcome. This looks at the actions of the defendant, the loss to the crime victim, and ensuring the safety of our community

To the editor: I was Lincoln County’s district attorney from 2001 to 2009 and I am proud to endorse Jonathan Cable for district attorney in the May 19 primary election.

To the editor: I’m voting for Betty Kamikawa for Lincoln County commissioner. In these times of  unprecedented economic, health and social stress we need new leadership to summon the spirit of common cause — that everyone and their livelihoods, families, households, schools and communities matter. That no county resident is left behind, under the lingering shadow of  coronavirus pandemic, in

To the editor: With the arrival of ballots in the mail this week, I wanted to reiterate to voters to please vote for Jonathan Cable for Lincoln County District Attorney. I have suspended my campaign, but my name still appears on the ballot. I am asking everyone who was considering voting for me to vote for Mr. Cable. Since being

To the editor: As you may have seen, Jonathan Cable’s campaign slogan is “Experience Matters,” and never has this been more true than in these troubling times. I first met Jonathan Cable in 2008 when my husband, Brian Gardner, accepted a position as a Lincoln County deputy district attorney. At that time, Jonathan had already been working as a deputy

To the editor: We started Save Our Siletz River in May 2018 when we met Betty Kamikawa, who is now the group’s soil scientist. Together and individually we have spent more than two years years of volunteering, attending city and county meetings, holding and attending a biosolids summit, conducting workgroups, going to state hearings, and more. We are trying to

I feel compelled to respond to a recent letter to the editor by Newport attorney David Beal. He states that 25 of 30 cases of my rulings on appeal have been reversed for “illegal sentences.” First, do not be misled that 30 cases have been appealed in my career. When a case is appealed, the state sends the court a
