On March 11, Jerry Lencioni, the grand knight of William J. Leahy Astoria Council 1307 of the Knights of Columbus, left, pre-
sented a check for $2,100 to Steve McAloney, Clatsop County Special Olympics Coordinator. These funds were the result
of the council’s annual Tootsie-Roll Handout and Special Olympics Drive at the Warrenton Fred Meyer store, and the gen-
erosity of the store’s customers. The funds will be used to support the many activities of these Clatsop County athletes.

Proposed Rainforest Reserve
receives grant from alliance
SEASIDE — Protection of a proposed natural area adjacent to
Oswald West State Park by North Coast Land Conservancy got a
boost recently with the award of a $45,000 grant from The Conser-
vation Alliance.
The proposed Rainforest Reserve is part of a 3,500-acre sum-
mit-to-sea corridor originally envisioned by Oregon’s fi rst state
parks superintendent, Samuel Boardman, nearly a century ago.
The NCLC is one of 20 organizations from throughout the
country to share $850,000 in support this spring from The
Conservation Alliance, a Bend-based group representing more
than 200 outdoor businesses nationwide. The Alliance’s collec-
tive contributions support grassroots environmental organizations
and their efforts to protect wild places where outdoor enthusiasts
recreate.
The conservancy was nominated by Manzanita-based photog-
rapher and alliance member Justin Bailie.
A complete list of grant recipients can be found at www.conser-
vationalliance.com
