📰 News we're reading

• Little-used, little-known and aging Waldport Cemetery needs help from new volunteers or the city • Lincoln Chronicle (lincolnchronicle.org) — Waldport's only in-town cemetery is running out of board members, and its president is asking the city and new volunteers to step up before the site is left without leadership. City officials prefer to first help recruit community members to the cemetery board, pointing to Yachats' success filling similar roles through outreach.
