On Saturday, Sept. 17,
Sammy’s Place will host
the 12th Annual Buddy
Walk in downtown Sea-
side. The Buddy Walk at
the Beach will support Sam-
my’s Place’s vision to estab-
lish a much needed living
and working community for
adults with special needs in
our North Coast communi-
ty, and promote awareness
of people with special needs
in Tillamook and Clatsop
counties.
The Buddy Walk is a
national program providing
an opportunity for our entire
community to come togeth-
er and walk side by side with
friends, family members and
neighbors to promote under-
standing and acceptance of
people with special needs.
Locally, the 2015 Bud-
dy Walk at the Beach raised
over $38,000 from nearly
500 supporters.
This year’s goal is to
raise an additional $15,000.
Register online to partici-
pate in the Buddy Walk at
the Beach or make a dona-
tion at https://www.crowd
rise.com/BuddyWalkatthe-
Beach2016.
Most of the funds raised
will continue to be used to
purchase land to implement
Sammy’s Place’s vision
of an inclusive residential
community.
Additional-
ly, Sammy’s Place is now
turning its attention towards
launching
nature-based
programs for and with our
special needs community.
These programs will be fo-
cused on recreational, edu-
cational, and employment
opportunities.
Sammy’s Place was
founded in 2006 as an Ore-
gon 501(c)(3) organization.
Sammy’s Place seeks to
empower the special needs
community by creating op-
portunities to engage with
the natural environments
of the North Coast of Ore-
gon. Additionally, Sammy’s
Place is working towards
providing alternative hous-
ing options for adults with
disabilities.

“I like to do people with

“What really interests me are
people of character.”
McEwan was surprised by
the painting, which was de-
livered to his home Saturday
morning. While Pancho shied
from the camera, McEwan
gratefully accepted the painting
as a gift. “It’s beautiful,” he said.
“I’m thankful.”
And he was surprised: “All

Watercolorist draws on Gearhart’s
Bob McEwan for inspiration
Bonnie Belden-Doney found
herself captivated by an image
she found of Gearhart’s Bob
McEwan in front of the former
Pop’s Sweet Shop in Gearhart.
McEwan is a lifelong Ore-
gonian and has lived in Gearhart
for more than half a century.
His buggy ride, drawn by trusty
donkey friend Pancho, delights
kids and families when they trot
down Pacifi c Way on holidays
and for special events.
Pancho is a Bethlehem don-
key with the mark of his breed,
a cross along his back. He con-
tinues to go to work every day
for the company he founded at
Laurelwood Farm.
While Belden-Doney had
never met her subject, “Some-
body suggested that we needed
a painting of Bob,” she said.

Phoena blends her voice and lyrical gospel
with dynamic percussion, folk-pop, rock
and soul.
Pressly is no stranger to
taking care of animals. She
is the owner-operator of her
own pet-sitting business, All
Critter Pet Sitters, where she
cares for pets from Cannon
Beach to Astoria. While liv-
ing in Colorado, she became
involved with Colorado
Peke and Pom Rescue, be-
coming the organization’s
vice president, training vol-
unteers, handling adoptions,
fostering dogs herself and
working with aggressive
dogs. “I was always drawn
to the senior dogs in the res-
cue and wanted to work with
them the most,” she said.
Despite the sanctuary’s
size, because of land use
codes, it can only accom-
modate a limited number of
dogs . “That’s where foster
volunteers come in,” Pressly
said. “We’re still new, so we
only have a couple of fosters.”
Elderly dogs accepted to
the sanctuary will stay with
her for the remainder of
their lives. Other dogs she
may take in might be able to
be adopted out or go into a
permanent foster home situ-
ation. “Working full-time as
a professional pet-sitter gives
me more time with the sanc-
tuary dogs and their needs,”
she said. “Plus, we have the
wonderful help of our volun-
teers who come over to play
with the dogs and help out a
couple times a week.”
