grandfather, Joe H. Lane. He painted for
“Grandpa Joe” for about 10 years. In 1992,
he went into business for himself in Salem,
Ore., where he painted new construction

Guide Books Feature
Oregon Coast
In an effort to spread the word about
the region’s visitor highlights, the Central
Oregon Coast Association (COCA) has
released its first map-guide for travelers to
Lincoln County and the Central Oregon
Coast designated to answer all sorts of
visitor questions. The “Oregon Central Coast
Map-Guide” was produced in partnership
with Community Projects, Inc.
“While we’re answering hundreds of
calls and thousands of visitor e-mails about
Central Coast travel, the focus here is on
the best things to do and where to stay here
in Lincoln County,” notes COCA Executive
Director Guy DiTorrice. ‘The map-guide is
a colorful, handy reference of our
communities and what you can experience
on the Central Oregon Coast.”
The compact 48-page booklet includes
community maps, key visitor attractions
(indoors and outdoors), annual events
listing, emergency numbers, a local
business directory, and information for
overnight lodging locations between Yachats
and Pacific City, with most along U.S.
Highway 101.
The Oregon Central Coast Map-
Guide is available at no-charge by contacting
COCA at 1-800-767-2064, 541-265-2064,
coca@orcoast.com
or

also available at Oregon State Welcome
Centers as well as at many chambers of
commerce and visitor centers along the
Oregon Coast.
Peace and Dignity is a Native American spiritual run that was done in 1992 and 1996
and is scheduled again in 2000. Runners started in Chickaloon, Alaska, and in Tierra del
Fuego, Argentina, in early May. In October, the runners will meet at ancient temples in
Teotihuacan near Mexico City.
The following is the tentative schedule from Gustavo Gutierrez, who again is a run

As in the past, the Peace and Dignity Journey is not sponsored and has few funds.
The run brings people together as runners and in daily spiritual ceremonies with the
communities they pass through. Non-runners are needed to donate time, help plan overnight
stops, organize potlucks, and for prayers and support.

Peace and Dignity Journey 2000
Running lies at the core of the Peace and Dignity mission as spiritual purity lies at the
core of Native-America running. The exertion, tenacity and stamina demanded by long
distance running, when coupled with the will to defend our traditions, serve our elders, and
promote our children, can elevate us, men and women alike, to the status of warriors. It is
in such a state of grace, disencumbered of life’s common subversions, that we fall into
stride with the heartbeat of the mother planet — from the wing-pulse of hummingbirds to the
turning of tides - that we glimpse for a moment and for a moment give name to the unnamable
forces driving the cosmos, that we look without shame into the faces of our ancestors.

County accommodations and attractions.
Oregon Coast Mile-by-Mile
Guide
The Oregon Coast Visitors
Association and Oregon Coast magazine
have joined forces to produce the annual
“Mile-by-Mile Guide to Highway 101.”
This is a perfect example of the true
Oregon spirit - two groups working together
for the benefit of the state with a common
sense solution,” noted Craig Tutor, OCVA
president. “As a fairly new organization,
OCVA needed an extra boost getting a
visitor guide together representing the entire
coast. The Oregon Coast magazine Mile-by-
Mile Guide is a great way to complete the
project, with a well produced guide now in
our hands for visitor inquiries."
As part of this partnership effort,
Oregon Coast magazine produced an
expanded run of Mile-by-Mile Guides for
distribution to all of Oregon’s official State
Welcome Centers, for OCVA members
along the entire Oregon Coast, as well as
distribution to numerous chambers of
commerce and visitor centers throughout
Oregon. Visitors may pick up copies of the
guides while traveling, with Oregon Coast
magazine subscribers receiving their copy
with the May/June edition.
The Oregon Coast Visitor
Association is contract-managed by the
Central Oregon Coast Association as the
coastal region’s destination marketing
organization, promoting year-round travel,
recreation and overnight accommodations
in all seven coastal Oregon counties.
Visitors considering or planning trips to the
Oregon Coast may contact OCVA for their
own copy of the 72-page, full-color guide at
