North Coast Journal March 20, 2008 : GARLICK'S NOTEBOOK: TITLE

North Coast Journal March 20, 2008 : GARLICK'S NOTEBOOK: TITLE: "Understanding the nature of tsunamis could save your life. They are usually caused by large earthquakes, coastal or submarine. You could expect timely warning of a tsunami generated thousands of miles away, but if our local Cascadia Megathrust is the culprit, the violent shaking would be your cue to head for the highest ground reachable within a few minutes."

YOU CAN HELP! PROJECTS OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS

This is a "list" web page. This list is a try at a solution for a large problem. There are so many good ideas that come our way dealing with this or that... that somebody should deal with. While you may wonder who somebody is as I do. Certainly, we must realize at some level, that we are all somebody. The page will reflect ideas that should or could be done for the welfare of the community.

Here they will either rest in a boneyard of wishes or you as single person or as a group will say you know that is a really good idea and I am going to do it. Simple as that. If the idea has no merit, I expect it will be off to the boneyard with it. But, if you find it has merit then you can start on it or you can email me and say you would like to work with others to accomplish it... I'll keep track and keep the site uptodate.. notify groups willing to work together of other potential members.

What happens on the page will evolve itself. I will eventually move ideas to another page of finished or completed or to a boneyard page.. For now ideas will be up for 1 month and if they have no progress it will be off to the boneyard for them.

This new page is a google doc page and for those that know what that means I'm looking for help keeping it upto date.

A CELEBRATION OF LIFE FOR LOIS BILLINGHAM

Saturday, March 22nd at the LVH Clubhouse

Oregon Coast Events for the Season: Lincoln City

Oregon Coast Events for the Season: Lincoln City: "Oregon Coast Events for the Season: Lincoln City
Lincoln City's Nelscott area

(Lincoln City, Oregon) – Spring rushes in like a lion on the central coast, with Lincoln City bustling with activities for families and grownups.

Spring break is just the beginning in town, with April and May featuring a variety of events: cooking classes to karaoke; plants to tide pool explorations; birds to a brew fest, and garage sales to a gargantuan dog show."

AED is in service

Our new AED (automated electric defibrillator) is mounted in the clubhouse near the pool table and is in service... Several people in the park have been RED CROSS trained in its use including most of the CERT team and the Oregon State Police Volunteers and the Newport Police Volunteers.

CPR and AED classes will be offered to the general park residents sometime in April. The course will be taught by a certified Red Cross Instructor and Oregon State Police Officer, Carla Urbegeit.

To get the community use to the machine a CERT team member will be showing a 10 minute video on the machine from its manufacturer ZOLL at the clubhouse Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday between 11:00am and 1:00 Pm... Coming soon!

Happy St. Pat's

The 1,700 feet Tsunami that Struck Alaska : Environmental News Blog | Environmental Graffiti: "On the night of July 7th, 1958 the world’s largest Tsunami struck Lituya bay, located about 250 miles west of Juneau. It was 1,700 feet or 520 meters, almost twice the height of the Eiffel Tower."

In far northern California, independence is a state of mind - San Jose Mercury News

In far northern California, independence is a state of mind - San Jose Mercury News: "YREKA, Calif.—Along the far northern edge of California, far from the bright lights of Hollywood and the foggy charms of San Francisco, exists a place many have never heard of—the State of Jefferson.

But for those in the know, the name—a slogan from a quixotic past—says a lot about the state of mind in this wild, beautiful and sparsely populated country.

Jefferson, a would-have-been 49th state made up of a handful of neighboring counties in northern California and southern Oregon, lasted only a few days in 1941 before it was squashed by the cold reality of Pearl Harbor."

The quake was a depth of 6.2 miles, according to Angel Gutierrez, a geophysicist with the U.S.Geological Survey in Golden, Colorado. The USGS initially put the quake at 6.0 magnitude."

Northbound Whales Already Spotted on Oregon Coast as Whale Week Approaches

Northbound Whales Already Spotted on Oregon Coast as Whale Week Approaches: "(Depoe Bay, Oregon) – March 22 through 29 brings the big whale watch week for the Oregon coast, as thousands of whales begin making their way north on a massive exodus from the waters off Mexico. Many have given birth down south, so there could be plenty of baby whales to gawk at, conditions willing.

Hosted by Oregon State Parks and Recreation Department, the spring Whale Watch Week coincides with spring break and features volunteers perched at dozens of high spots along the Oregon coast, helping tourists and science buffs spot the gargantuan creatures on their journey northward."
