Baxter, who died recently, was mistakenly left out
of The Daily Astorian insert “Going to the Dogs,”
published Aug. 25. Rescued from a shelter 15 years
ago, Baxter lived in Gearhart with his family, Cindy
Tenbrook and Cal Meintser and his canine “sib-
lings,” Molly and Poppy. “Baxter never met a snack
he didn’t love,” family friend Alicia Flanagan said.
“He loved to sniff and check out every corner to see
what was going on. While at home, he never left Cin-
dy’s side, and was her steadfast guardian. He was
passionate about life and new experiences. He real-
ly was a dog with a large personality, and left a mark
on anyone who met him.”

Install ENERGY STAR® LED
bulbs to cut your energy use
by as much as 85 percent.
LEDs are available in many
styles to fit all the rooms in
your home and you’ll save
even more in the long run
because they’ll last up to
20 times longer than
standard bulbs.
Unplug battery chargers for
mobile phones, tablets, laptops
and other devices when not in
use—they use energy even
when they’re not actively
charging anything. Group
your electronics together on
power strips so you can switch
them off when you’re done
using everything.
Save on heating costs by
lowering the thermostat
to 65-68 degrees when
you’re home, and to
58-60 degrees at night
or when you’re away.
Upgrade to a smart
thermostat to make these
kinds of energy-saving
changes automatically.
