Date/Time: March 2, 2026 / 2:00 p.m., A letter of thanks from Bianca Chevalier: From Bianca Chevalier: Would you please tell Deputy S. Starr that we very, very, very much appreciate him tracking out all the way on the dunes to find my friend and wait for the helicopter to come. Deputy Starr went above and beyond!!! He walked all the way out in the sand (trail) a couple of miles and had to go inland, trying to locate us. Deputy Starr stayed with us with a great calm and an assured demeanor until the second helicopter could lower the basket to pull her out. Also, a huge thanks to the Coast Guard guys who were wonderful too with the helicopter!! All is well with my friend Staci, because she was wearing an air vest and a superduper helmet. She just sustained a slight concussion. Staci left from the Eugene airport today to fly back to Kentucky. I love this community that we live in, with all the support people who came out for three days to help me search for my horses. I was just overwhelmed. From the Sheriff’s Mounted Posse to Hauser Fire and Rescue, to our awesome horse community. This is where I want to live always!!! Bianca Chevalier
