BRIEFS FROM BEYOND CG
Yoncalla care
baskets
Care and Share is a Yoncalla char-
ity that began with the efforts of
Joyce Evarts in the 1970s.
Evarts passed away this year, and
friends say it was her wish that
the giving of Thanksgiving and
Christmas baskets would continue
after her passing.
Funding for the baskets comes
from donations and is used to pur-
chase any food not provided by
the canned food drive conducted
by the Yoncalla schools. Dona-
tions can be left at the Yoncalla
City Hall or sent to: Care and
Share, 610 Elkhead Rd., Yoncalla,
OR 97499. For further informa-
tion contact Donna Dick at 541-
849-2772.

COUNTRY
NEWS
BY LIL THOMPSON
For the Sentinel
Coast is a reminder to think ahead
about natural hazards and to pre-
pare now for stormier months to
come, according to Lane County
Emergency Management.
Preparations can include clearing
rain gutters and drainage ditches,
repairing roof leaks, cutting back
heavy tree branches that could
fall on structures, checking the
structural strength of roofs to
sustain unusual weight from snow
or rain, insulating pipes to protect
from freezing, making sure car-
bon monoxide detectors and fi re
alarms are in good working order
and keeping a NOAA weather
radio handy.
Lane County Emergency Man-
agement is asking residents to
help us help them by completing
a less than 5-minute online survey
about hazards residents are most
concerned about. The survey can
be found at this link or by doing
a friend search on Facebook for
Help Improve Lane County.

hosting a holiday dinner free for
any veteran and a guest on Nov.
9, 2016 at 11 a.m. at the Yoncalla
Community Center, 400 Main St.,
