WALDPORT HIGH SCHOOL
HIGH GROUND RELOCATION PUBLIC MEETINGS
I have attended both of the public meetings held at Waldport High School (December 10, 2009 & January 14, 2010) to review the various options regarding the potential of relocating the Waldport High School Students to a safer high ground location out of the Waldport Tsunami Zone. The following is a synopsis of the notes that have taken during the two public meetings, and what I believe I heard in the two meetings from both persons representing the Lincoln County School District, and other members of the community attending the meetings.
When Dena Pickner awoke to a commotion at her Yachats house last June, she expected to find a raccoon. Instead, she climbed out of bed and saw a black bear coming through her dog door.
