The camp produced such
literary works as “War
Elegies” and “Waldport
Poems” by Everson and
“Horned Moon” by Glen
Coffield.
After the war, camp mem-
bers went on to influence
other cultural currents which
eventually led to the radical
peace movements of the ‘60s.

Members of U.S. Coast Guard Siuslaw River Station assist the crew of the Ester Friday morning after the
smaller ship had mechanical difficulties between Tillamook and Florence. The Ester was on its way to the
Port of Siuslaw, where it has permission to moor for a month. Now, repairs will have to be made before the
Ester is sea-worthy again.

one of the great things about
baseball!
Yes, when Bob Costas says
a player is so old they use
“Absorbine Sr.,” the joke is on
him because nobody outside of
the Korean War generation
knows what Absorbine Jr. is in
the first place. It’s great
because Costas is like that
uncle at the holiday table who
always tells the same story.
“I don’t like inter-league
play!”
We know, Uncle Bob, we
know ... but everybody should
get to see the Yankees at least
once a decade.
Baseball, unlike many
sports, matters all the way
through the game. Watching a
starter at the top of his powers
is like watching a matador. He
strides confidently out to the
mound, he mesmerizes the
charging batters and asserts his
will on the outcome. Never
mind that we’ve never seen an
actual matador or understand
the allure of the bullfight. We
don’t know what’s in the hot
dogs, either. It doesn’t matter.
Don’t overthink it.
Let the ballpark metaphors
wash over you like waves.
Ride it out for all nine innings.

adept way the second basemen
turns two, at how the closer
didn’t even blink when the
bases were loaded before strik-
ing out the side. Every game
tells a different story.
This season, go to a game.
Go to a game with no agenda
other than being there to watch
the game.
Don’t complain about the
prices; save up.
Bring your kid. Tell them
stories about the baseball play-
ers you watched growing up,
and while you’re at the game,
just watch the game.
Relax, will ya?
The next morning, get a
newspaper and show your kid
the box score. Cut it out,
paperclip it to the game pro-
gram and tell him to keep it in
a box. Decades later, it will be
found.
You thought the game was
too long? The game isn’t too
long ... it simply lasts forever.
