Mayor Matt Brown wel- comed the colorful crew on a windy Sunday morning to the ﬁ rst ever Color Run in Gear- hart. Throughout the 5K race route, participants would be sprayed with colorful chalk and given a chalk packet to throw at the ﬁ nish line, he explained. “Although I see some of you have already started,” he laughed, gesturing to a child whose hair was already caked in green chalk.

Jill Atwi walked the race with her two children, who go to Seaside Heights, and said she attended because it’s important to support her chil- dren’s school. “This gives us money for all of the important things we need, and we’re doing it while having fun,” she said. Her son, Gavin Pugh, said he also came to support his school, but the main motivator was the color chalk. “I’m ready to get col- or-blasted!” he said before running to the start line. As Atwi and Pugh rounded the corner into a plume of blue dust, it begged the question: I s this as fun as it looks ? “Yes it was very fun,” she said. “Though I’m glad it wasn’t raining – then it would be mostly sticky, I think.” LOTTERIES April 28, 2017 KELLY, Eugene Franklin , 76, of Warrenton, died in Portland.

Co-president Erin Jack- son said in the past the group has held auctions and fairs to raise money for school essen- tials, but wanted to switch it up to include more kids in the process. This year, the run raised $18,000, all from individ- ual $30 registration fees. This will be distributed to the three schools proportionally based on how many participants were registered from each school, Jackson said. “We weren’t sure what to expect,” Jackson said. “This has been more successful than we imagined.” Jackson said Gearhart’s school board requested their part of the fund be put toward funding a new Chromebook cart, which provides enough laptops for a class of about 30. “It’s really nice to bring the community together to work toward a common goal,” she said.
