September 23, 2016 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com • 3A Coast Guard rescues two from Nehalem River American Legion hosts irst responders dinner EO Media Group NEDONNA BEACH — The U.S. Coast Guard rescued two people from the surf at the mouth of the Nehalem River near Nedonna Beach Sunday, Sept. 11. A 47-foot motor lifeboat crew from Station Tillamook Bay in Garibaldi received a single call from the mariners at 7:35 a.m. Sunday. The crew started searching around Nehalem Bay for signs of distress. A second call came into the boat crew, a witness reporting a capsized vessel at the mouth of the Nehalem River. The boat crew made it to the scene and rescued the mariners by 7:55 a.m. The men were taken back to base, where they declined medical attention. “These two individuals are alive today be- cause they were wearing their life jackets,” Petty Oficer 1st Class Joshua Sheppard, cox- swain of the rescue boat, said in a statement. “We saw them go under the water and resur- face several times as we came alongside them to pull them aboard.” Balzer suit goes to federal court LYRA FONTAINE/CANNON BEACH GAZETTE American Legion volunteer Scott Cameron serves up a piece of ham to Commander Dan O’Reilly. Chef Aaron Bedard from the Steph- anie Inn made the gravy. from the Cannon Beach Rural Fire Protection District and other local irst responders with a din- ner on Thursday, Sept. 8. T he Cannon Beach American Legion honored the hard work of Cannon Beach po- lice oficers, volunteers and staff Balzer from Page 1A his reputation and standing in the community. He seeks compensation of almost $678,000 and reinstatement of his duties and beneits. Balzer, who served as ire chief from Jan- uary 2012 until he was ired, has claimed the ire district’s board retaliated against him be- cause of critical comments made by his wife, Colleen, on social media. According to the lawsuit, directors Clyde, Beck-Sweeney and Smith “chastised” Balzer for “allowing his spouse to express her criti- cism of board members on social media web- sites and in her speech.” Balzer alleges that the district and board vi- olated his free association rights, in that Bal- zer’s “intimate association with his wife” is “entitled to protection under the First Amend- ment.” “The conduct of defendants Clyde, Smith and Beck-Sweeney were reckless or showed a callous indifference to plaintiff’s constitution- al rights,” Balzer’s complaint states. The three directors named in the lawsuit prevailed in a special recall election in April. Attorneys for all parties did not return re- quests for comment. “We started this last year to recognize irst responders and their families,” Commander Dan O’Reilly said. The Legion also had a cere- mony with the playing of taps to commemorate the sacriice made by people in uniform on Sept. 11.
