CANNON BEACH — For centuries, the area known now as Cannon Beach was a wel- come place for members of the Clatsop, Nehalem and Til- ODPRRN WULEHV WKDW ¿VKHG DQG traded in a local village called NeCus’. Next year, a wooden statue of a young Clatsop man may beckon visitors coming to the village. The statue also would be accompanied by two inter- pretive signs. The Palette Group, a sub- committee of the city parks committee, is proposing that a 10-foot tall cedar “welcom- ing pole” be erected along the bank of Ecola Creek at the edge of NeCus’ park. The statue of the young man, which would be seen from the Fir Street Bridge, will face the ocean, as tribal members once did when they greeted their guests. The Palette Group submit- ted the proposal to the city’s public arts committee this month and requested that the committee recommend it for a New Year’s Eve party in Svensen SVENSEN — A New Year’s Eve party is being held, starting at 6 p.m., at the Wickiup Senior Cen- ter, 92648 Svensen Market Road in Svensen, featuring pinochle, bingo and prizes.
