Lincoln City Area
 Lincoln City, on the Oregon Coast, was incorporated on March 3, 1965, uniting the D' Lake, Oceanlake Taft, Cutler City and Nelscott. These were adjacent communities along U.S. Route 101, which serves as Lincoln City's main street. The name "Lincoln City" was chosen from contest entries submitted by local school children. The contest was held when it was determined that using one of the five communities' names would be too controversial.
Lincoln City is nestled between Devils Lake and miles of sandy beaches and on the central Oregon Coast. There are excellent locations for wave, whale, sunset and storm watching, and the beach is a treasure trove for collecting driftwood, agates, shells and floats. Large rocks emerging from the sea create perfect pockets for tide pooling during low tides, and beach hiking, surfing, windsurfing and fishing challenge adventure seekers.
Nine species of freshwater fish beckon the fisherman to Devils Lake, while water sports such as windsurfing, water skiing, knee-boarding and jet skiing engage other sports enthusiasts. Flowing from Devils Lake is the "D" River, which holds the title of the "World's Shortest River". From its source at Devils Lake, the river reaches its destination of the Pacific in a mere 120 feet.
Fly your own kite or watch the spectacular aerial displays of color and shape at the D River Wayside. Lincoln City receives steady winds because of the unique location on the 45th parallel.

Bring Your Family to the Pow-Wow
by Diane Rodriquez for the SILETZ News
 Many different Tribal nations will be represented at the annual Nesika Illahee Pow-Wow on Aug. 13-15 in Siletz, Ore., held by the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. The public is invited to attend this family-friendly event, a tradition for the Siletz people and other American Indians.
All events, except the parade, take place at the Pauline Ricks Memorial Pow-Wow Grounds on Government Hill in Siletz. "This is a great way for people to experience American Indian culture right here on the Oregon Coast," said Mona Fisher, cultural education coordinator for the Siletz Tribe. "You can learn about the different styles of pow-wow dancing, see the beautiful regalia up close and even participate yourself in some of the intertribal dances."

 Salgado plays with words like a jazz player improvises with notes. Even his speech has musical cadence. Salgado is part showman and part scholar. His music is grounded in a serious grasp of musical history that extends to a collection of rare film and video shorts he’s amassed featuring his musical heroes in blues, R&B, jazz, gospel and rockabilly.
"My voice sounds a certain way. I am a certain kind of personality with a certain kind of aura, and I wanna capture that. That’s exactly what all my material is about. It’s about me in search of and putting out something that’s ‘Curtis Salgado music,’ so that it becomes recognizable: That’s a Salgado tune. That’s Curtis Salgado."
Curtis Salgado wins the 2010 Soul Blues Male Artist Of The Year Award.
