minimal, with some longer
hours and more days, and
“lots of employees at some
point,” she said.
The Stand pivoted during
the pandemic, staying open
for to-go orders throughout
and with outdoor seating.
Their weekday hours have
been in place since the begin-
ning by design, as the fam-
ily wanted their weekends
reserved for time together.
Eric Saucedo currently
runs the Street 14 Cafe in
Astoria, and before that, the
Times Theatre kitchen in
Seaside.
Bird, from Spokane, Wash-
ington, met Eric Saucedo
when they both worked on a
landscaping job seven years
ago.
Bird will be working in
front and Eric Saucedo in the
kitchen.
“We’ll just slowly see
what we feel we can change
and what we can improve,”
he said. “But like my mom
said, it’s been an amazingly
successful business here for
the last 30 years. So there’s
not much that needs to be
changed.”
Tami and Jose Saucedo
will remain in Seaside, with
possible future destinations
unknown.
“We’re going to be here,
we’re going to be available to
help our son,” Jose Saucedo
said. “And then we’re going
to travel the country, perhaps
camping to some of the places
we haven’t been.”
“We wish our son the best,”
Tami Saucedo said. “You
know, it’s very successful as
it is. We’ve only been open 24
hours a week and we’ve been
able to make a living.”
Regulars will be shocked
and perhaps relieved by one
change. The famously cash-
only restaurant will be bring-
ing in credit cards, Eric
Saucedo said. “And Square.”

“Our BOB program is
really about getting to take
a look at the whole person
and connecting with them
as a whole person, not just a
patient, not just an encoun-
ter,” Smith said.
According to regional
behavioral health outreach
program manager Becky
Wilkinson, the social work
manager at Providence Sea-
side advocated a few years
ago for the program to
expand to Seaside.
In other locations across
Oregon, the program has
consistently coincided with
a roughly 45% reduction in
behavioral health patients
utilizing the emergency
department.
Instead, they receive
access to the services they
need to help address the
root causes of their prob-
lems and work toward long-
term health and well-be-
ing. Peer support specialists
employ their own lived
experience to mentor and
help people build their own
resilience and natural sup-
port systems.
“Since we have a unique
model of care, we are often
able to help folks access
care and services they oth-
erwise normally wouldn’t
have been able to access,”
Wilkinson said.

Seaside brought on two
new outreach specialists to
work directly with individ-
uals struggling with things
like mental health issues,
substance use and chronic
pain and connect them with
the appropriate care.
Smith said Dean Louder,
the new emergency depart-
ment outreach specialist,
and Christina Little, the
peer support outreach spe-
cialist, “have jumped right
in,” building relationships
with hospital staff and com-
munity partners while also
meeting and working with
clients.
Seaside Fire and Rescue
is a critical community ally
as they frequently interact
with individuals when they
are in an emergency situa-
tion, Little said.
Other community part-
ners
include
Clatsop
Behavioral
Healthcare,
Clatsop Community Action
and NorthWest Senior and
Disability Services. How-
ever, the program can and
will receive referrals from a
number of diff erent sources,
Smith said.
“The greatest role I play
is off ering individuals sup-
portive listening and pres-
ence to navigate whatever
experience they’re going
through,” she said.
She guides them in iden-
tifying their unmet needs,
motivations and goals. As
such, she is frequently out
in the community, meet-
ing people at their homes or
other sites to provide imme-
diate support.

is seeing the light in peo-
ple’s eyes when they feel

On June 11 at 2 p.m., the
Friends of Seaside Public
Library present “Oregon’s
Black History: 450 Years in
45 Minutes,” featuring Zach-
ary Stocks, public historian
and the executive director of
Oregon Black Pioneers.
Stocks will trace the his-
tory of people of African
descent who have lived and
worked in Oregon since
before the founding of the
earliest
English-speaking
settlements in the Ameri-
cas. While popular history
seeks to exclude the pres-
ence of African Americans
in Oregon before the mid-
20th century, this presenta-
tion will bring new light to
the historic legal and social
marginalization of African
Americans in Oregon. This
disparity has infl uences still
today in housing access,
community investment, and
policing.
Stock’s presentation will
showcase key individu-
als and events that charac-
terize Oregon’s history and
centuries-old Black history
including individuals who
have lived and worked right
here on the Oregon Coast.
Stocks previously served
as program director of His-
torical Seaport and visi-
tor services manager of
Northwest African Amer-
ican Museum. He is cur-
rently a seasonal park ranger
at Lewis and Clark National
Historical Park. He holds a
bachelor’s degree in history
from the College of William
& Mary. He lives in Astoria.
The author will hold a
Q&A afterwards.
The
Seaside
Public
Library is located at 1131
Broadway. For more infor-
mation call 503-738-6742 or

seen and heard,” she said.
“Experiencing that is such a
great feeling.”
Louder oversees care
control and case manage-
ment for individuals to help
guide them toward culti-
vating their own long-term
care. That could include
navigating complex insti-
tutional structures and pro-
cesses, like signing up for
Medicaid, fi nding a coun-
selor, or getting shelter.
“Once you’ve identi-
fi ed the need, you’re actu-
ally assisting them and con-
necting them with resources
that address that need,” he
said. “The ultimate goal is
to get them in a better spot
than they were before.”
The hospital has iden-
tifi ed individuals who will
utilize the emergency sys-
tem because they are lonely
or isolated. That’s where
Better Outcomes Thru
Bridges comes in. Accord-
ing to Louder, they can fi g-
ure out more eff ective ways
to prevent people from
being isolated and connect
them with resources so they
don’t rely on the emergency
department.
There is also a strong
community focus to the
program.
“A community is made
of people, and it’s kind of
accepting people where
they are at,” Louder said.
“It’s a matter of getting dif-
ferent professionals and
partners involved to pro-
vide care. Each person can
be impactful on the out-
come you’re pursuing.”
