Newly crowned Miss Oregon Harley Emery rode proudly, followed in the lineup by Miss Clatsop County Han- nah Garhofer and represen- tatives of the Miss Oregon pageant. Kevin Leahy, representing the Astoria Regatta, led a group including chaperone Amber Hill and Aubrey McMahan — last year’s Regatta queen. Sea- side’s Sydney Ordway joined princesses on the float. “Here we are five years run- ning — it’s a great parade!” Leahy said. Coastal author Honey Perkel added a literary note with a recurring parade appearance, while “Wonder Woman” from the Inverted Experience, Sea- side’s newest Broadway tourist attraction, garnered attention. Bigfoot, Ghostbusters and the Lion King marched, too. And everybody had candy: taffy, lollipops and gummies.

Jackson Januik, the Gulls basketball standout named the Class 4A Player of the Year, joined teammates on a float featuring Seaside’s champion- ship basketball team. It was his first parade, Januik said. “It’s fun seeing all the people.” Members of Clatsop Coun- ty’s Sons of Beaches and the Legion Riders held sway on their big trucks, while members of “We Are Indivisible” joined the parade for the first time. “We’re promoting democ- racy,” said member Joyce Hunt. “And keeping our nation going R.J.

By the time they reached First Ave- nue and Holladay, they had passed out more than 1,000 cleanup bags — and “we’re only halfway in the parade,” Gini Dideum said. With the sun pushing through the clouds for a day of sunshine and fireworks ahead for the evening, the Bucca- neers’ cleanup crews would have their work cut out for them. But nobody seemed to mind. “People are always so excited to be in the parade, to have fun and to showcase their vehicles or their kids,” Dideum said. “It’s always fun!” Cannon Beach: ‘It’s Americana the way it is’ Continued from Page 1A garb slowly chugged down the town’s main street Tues- day, representing emergency responders, businesses and organizations. Don Boehm, the com- mander of American Legion Post 168 and former Can- non Beach local, served as the parade’s grand marshal. He served two tours in Vietnam in the U.S. Army and volunteered many years on the Cannon Beach Fire and Rescue crew. “It’s an honor. For 20 years I carried the colors, and now I get to ride as grand marshal,” he said. “I love the excitement in the faces of the people who come to see the parade.” Every few steps, the parade participants tossed handfuls of red, white and blue saltwater taffy into the lines of cheering spectators. Brenna Visser/The Daily Astorian Members of the Lewis and Clark Fire Department throw taffy out to the crowd in the departments oldest fire en- gine, built in 1943. ‘Americana’ While the size of the parade has changed over the course of decades, much of the parade has not, said former American Legion commander and event organizer Dan O’Reilly — and that is exactly the point. “Hopefully there won’t be any changes to it in the future. It’s Americana the way it is,” O’Reilly said. He saw his first parade in Cannon Beach 17 years ago and said he fell in love with its small-town, family-centered and “funky” charm. Since then, he has been involved with the parade in some facet, whether that be in the drill team, driving classic cars or the color guard. He sees this parade as a way for the community to come together, even when the country is polit- ically far from united, he said. “Especially today, with this divisiveness, when you can see something where peo- ple come together it frankly gives me a little bit of hope,” O’Reilly said. “Red, blue and all in between are out there. It’s small-town America at its finest.” the child’s teeth are very important in the development of his/her jaw. As soon as they begin to erupt, at approximately 6 months, it is so important to keep the baby teeth cleaned. You may use a soft brush or a finger gauze. Baby teeth accumulate plaque and bacteria just as adult teeth. Also, please be aware and careful of nighttime nursing bottles and a lack of cleaning the child’s teeth which may lead to a condition called nursing bottle syndrome (lots of decay). If all this is followed, teeth look good, child has no complaints, then first visit somewhere around age 2-1/2 to 3 is a good time to check.
