“Florence hardly ever sees
soldiers,” Creech said. “The
feedback I received was that
they would like to see more.”
He also said the CK served
about 150 meals to the atten-
dees and the public.
In addition to the food dis-
tribution, the National Guard
was also interested in con-
necting to the public and shar-
ing information in a non-
emergency situation.
Sharing information was
also one of the main benefits
of the exercise from the per-
spective of Siuslaw Valley
Fire and Rescue Chief Jim
Langborg,
“One of the most valuable
parts of the exercise is net-
working, it's always better to
know who we are working
with and what they bring to
the table,” he said.

Oregonian,
Nordahl has spent 64 years in
Florence.
“I find it the most beautiful
place to be,” she said.
She looks forward to more
time with her husband Richard
working on projects together.
“Richard and I plan to enjoy
time with our family and do
some light traveling,” Nordahl
added.
Over the years, she witnessed
significant changes in technolo-
gy used by print media.
When she started, getting the
product to press was a compli-
cated process involving many

gram. David will be looking at
revamping our pre-accelerator
course since there are differing
needs
on
the
coast,”
Cummings said.
This might mean a longer
course and more “homework”
for coastal businesses, but also
more opportunities for growth
and networking.
“The intention is that entre-
preneurs will feel certain they
have a market for their product
— and possibly even be sell-
ing by the time the course is
complete,” Cummings said.

“It was wonderful to have
so many qualified applicants
to choose from,” Cummings
said.
The hiring committee nar-
rowed the applicant pool down
to 10 candidates, but only
interviewed five. That is when
they selected Youngentob.
“What’s also interesting, is
that the other four finalists
have all offered to stay
involved and help as volun-
teers. This speaks highly of the
work we’re all doing to
expand our entrepreneurial
outreach and support on the
Mid-Coast,” Cummings said.
Networking and partnership
are a core part of RAIN. It has
more than 30 partners in com-
munities, cities, colleges, busi-
nesses and economic develop-
ment programs.
On
Monday,
Oregon
Economic
Development
Association (OEDA) awarded
RAIN
the
Outstanding
Collaborative Award in recog-
nition of the work done to fuel
the region’s economy through
an entrepreneurial ecosystem.
“RAIN is honored to
receive this award from
OEDA,” said RAIN Executive
Director Jim Coonan. “It is
rewarding and inspiring for
our organization and its part-
ners to be recognized for our
successful contribution to
growing our region’s entrepre-
neurial culture. It truly takes a
community to raise an entre-
preneur and winning this
award allows us to celebrate
our many public and private
partnerships.”
Cummings thanked the
many funders and partners
who helped make it possible to
hire Youngentob.
“Thank you all for believing
in the power of entrepreneur-
ship as a viable economic
development tool,” she said.
Cummings will continue to
work on the coast with
RAIN’s partners and as a men-
tor
and
support
for
Youngentob.
“Coastal and rural outreach
are the parts I love the most.
You will definitely still see
me,” she said.
