📰 News we're reading
• Yachats Fire finishes acquisition of ambulance service; chief says it could help district financially (lincolnchronicle.org) — Yachats Fire now owns the ambulance service its firefighter-paramedics have staffed for decades, completing the transfer from nonprofit South Lincoln Ambulance last week. Interim chief Jeff Mathia says ambulance revenue could let the district seek renewal, rather than an increase, of its levy expiring in 2027, though board leaders want firmer financial calculations. 
• World class performers light up Yachats this weekend for busy 25th Celtic Music Festival (lincolnchronicle.org) — Yachats’ 25th Celtic Music Festival brings performers and a welcome off-season business boost downtown Friday through Sunday. Friday and Saturday all-day concerts are sold out, but some standalone tickets may remain, and free events include bagpipes at Yachats State Park at 4:45 p.m. both days, weather permitting.
