Wendy's interest in Port
Orford was kindled by reading
"Fools Hill.”
She and Ken Stevens adapt-
ed John Quick's stories into the
recent play at Theatre 101. She
wanted to find out more about
Port Orford in the l930's and
before long she was knee deep
in Port Orford memorabilia,
interviewing old timers and
exploring archives.
Her biggest help came from
Alan Mitchell who lent her his
extensive historic photo collec-
tion, which she and Joyce
Kinney exhibited in the Arts
Council Gallery during the run
of "Fool's Hill."
Grace's passion for history
comes from her pioneering fam-
ily whose roots can be traced
back to the Mayflower.
She coyly admits that her
ancestors helped unite the coun-
try after the civil war, when
there was a marriage between
the Emerson and the Calhoun
families.
John C. Calhoun from South
Carolina was one of the writers
of the Confederate Papers and
Ralph Waldo Emerson was the
transcendentalist writer and
preacher from Boston.

talking about a beautiful place
on the Oregon coast. Later
when she bought the Joan of
Arc with its big myrtlewood
trees and fascinating history she
realized this was the place her
grandfather always talked
about.

college is a good option for re-
training and re-tooling one’s
skills. As state and federal edu-
cation leaders and advocates
often have said, more
Americans will need education
beyond high school – whether
short-term training programs or
a 2- or 4-year degree – in order
to be flexible and successful in
today’s knowledge economy.”
Besides the Adult Leaner
Line, other components of the
CACG program funded through
the federal grant include infor-
mation outreach on financial
aid options through a radio and
television advertising effort,
and distribution of information-
al materials on going to college
and financial aid through K-12
schools, colleges and universi-
ties, and other state agencies
and centers, such as the
Departments of Human
Services, Labor, and
Employment, and through food
banks and other statewide serv-
ice centers where Oregonians
can access this information;
and a train-the-trainer program
where K-12 guidance coun-
selors, teachers, community
resource specialists, and others
are provided financial aid train-
ing so they can help students
and families in their local com-
munities on how to access aid
through filling out the Free
Application for Federal Student
Aid (FAFSA), and through
other state, federal, and private
resources.
The Adult Learner Line and
website are supplemented by
other Oregon-based resources,
such as OSAC’s financial aid
website,
www.GetCollegeFunds.org,
which helps Oregonians under-
stand the types of aid available
to them, deadlines for applying,
and other college related infor-
mation.

On or before June 29, 2009, someone came on
to the Knapp Ranch Quarry Site, and siphoned

Clifton Corporation. This is the second such
theft. The first was last year, and involved the
theft of a complete 500 gallon fuel tank trailer
with fuel in it. It was grey in color. Laskey-
Clifton Corporation is offering a $1000 reward
for information leading to the arrest of the
subjects responsible for these actions.
Anyone providing such information will be
kept confidential. Call L-C office at
