Champions of change
A trio of young climate change activists
will be honored at the Celebration of
Women Who Lead this Saturday, Oct. 12,
in Newport.
The celebration, organized by Central
Oregon Coast NOW, will recognize the
efforts of 15-year-old Kaydance Redwine,
14-year-old Maia Stout and 13-year-
old Hailey Feuling, who took part in the
student climate strike at their schools and
at the children’s climate action at Hatfield
Marine Science Center in September.
The three were inspired by Sweden’s
Greta Thunberg, the 16-year-old who has
taken the world by storm trying to get
action on the worsening climate crisis.
4-H honors
leaders
“These girls are terrific,” said Cynthia
Jacobi, coordinator of the NOW
celebration. “The first time I met them
was at Sen. Jeff Merkley’s town hall. They
stood up and held his feet to the fire on
climate inaction by our government. Our
committee designated women who lead
and inspire above and beyond expectations.
We want to honor a wide spectrum of our
community.”
Other winners this year are: Delores
Pigsley, chair of the Confederated Tribes of
the Siletz Indians; Franki Trujillo-Dalbey,
immigration activist, KYAQ radio manager
and Oregon Coast Community College
professor; Sentila McKinley of Seashore
Literacy Center; and Nancy Mittleman,
founder of School of Artistic Movement
and the Pacific Dance Ensemble.
The public is invited and will have a
chance to socialize, enjoy appetizers, wine,
music and bid on silent auction items
donated by local businesses and artisans.
Silent auction items up for grabs include
local art, jewelry, mini aquariums, sculpture,
gift baskets and a fishing trip with County
Commissioner Kaety Jacobson on her new
boat.
Proceeds will support Central Oregon
Coast National Organization for Women
Foundation’s promotion of women and
girls.
The musical headliner for the afternoon
will be Saundra Perrin, loop diva of
Newport, who uses vocals, guitar, keyboard
and percussion to create soulful, ‘90s-style
rock.
The Celebration of Women Who Lead
will run from 2 to 4 pm at the Newport
Performing Arts Center, 777 W Olive
Street.
