The move comes after a federal judge in Florida struck down the national mask mandate for pub- lic transportation, leav- ing room for agencies to determine their own mask requirements. The decision was based on the judge’s ruling, guid- ance from the Federal Tran- sit Administration and the U.S. Transportation Security Administration’s announce- ment to make masks optional, the transit district said in a statement. Masks will still be required on RideAssist vehi- cles until further guidance is received, the transit district said.

Recently we had the pleasure of res- cuing this feisty beaver. First reported as a sea otter, it took us a few trips up and down the beach to fi nally locate him. He was originally spotted up by Sunset Beach but before we could get to him, he got startled and went back out into the surf. He swam all the way to Gearhart b each before hauling back out. We were able to successfully cap- ture the beaver and get him to the Wild- life Center of the North Coast. If all goes well, once he gets a clean bill of health he will be released back into the wild. Good luck little buddy!

The in-person presenta- tion will be at 2 p.m. on Sat- urday in the Coaster Theatre Playhouse, 108 N. Hem- lock St. Admission is free. Proof of COVID vaccina- tion is required. Masks are optional. Born in Astoria, Mar- lantes grew up in Seaside and attended Seaside High School, where he was stu- dent body president. Mar- lantes also attended Yale University. He was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship at Oxford University and earned a master’s degree. His fi rst book, “Matter- horn: A Novel of the Viet- nam War,” written in 2010, was called by the New York Times “one of the most pro- found and devastating nov- els ever to come out of Viet- nam — or any war.” It is based on Marlan- tes’ combat experience as an infantry offi cer with the 1st Battalion of the U.S. Marines from 1968 to 1969. He was awarded the Navy Cross for leading an assault on a hilltop bunker com- plex, which is at the core of “Matterhorn.” Marlantes also received a Bronze Star, two Navy com- mendation medals for valor, two Purple Hearts and 10 Air Medals. His second book, a mem- oir published in 2011, was “What It Is Like to Go to War.” It is about his return as a civilian and life as a Viet- nam War veteran. In 2019, Marlantes turned in a diff erent direc- tion with his novel, “Deep River,” about the logging industry, canneries and labor Aquarium News: Beaver receives care after rescue at Gearhart beach MARKETPLACE 651 Help Wanted 651 Help Wanted 651 Help Wanted 651 Help Wanted Jewell School District Office Secretary Part-Time Employment Housekeepers needed for Medical Office Buildings, evening hours.
