Ohio Gov. John Kasich came out the top vote-getter in the presidential straw poll to conclude the annual conference, with 46 del- egate votes, followed by Texas U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz with 36 and Donald Trump with 33. Even Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders managed three votes between them. Lake Oswego City Councilor and Republican Jeff Gudman took 75 percent of delegate votes in the state treasurer debate against Bend accountant and independent candidate Chris Telfer. Democratic candi- date and state Rep. Tobias Read from Bea- verton did not participate. The debate was moderated by new Republican gubernato- rial hopeful Allen Alley, who along with front-runner Bud Pierce made separate presentations. See DORCHESTER, Page 5A OREGON GOVERNOR HOPEFULS Bud Pierce and Allen Alley spoke at the conference. See Page 5A H ILLSBORO — Seaside endured another pretty good-sized storm over the weekend. It came in the form of the Philomath Warriors, who indeed caused a little power outage for the Seaside boys basketball team late Saturday night, in the championship game of the Class 4A state tournament. In front of a standing-room- only, packed house at Liberty High School, the normally high-energy, high-scoring Gulls were grounded for much of the night, and had trou- ble mounting their normally potent offensive attack. The Warriors — the No. 1 seed in the tournament — led from start to ¿nish, but had to hold off a furious fourth-quar- ter rally by the No. 2 seed Gulls in a 55-45 win.

See Page 7A The Federal Energy Regulatory Com- mission has denied applications for the Jor- dan Cove LNG terminal and pipeline project near Coos Bay. Jordan Cove is one of two proposed LNG projects on the Oregon Coast. Oregon LNG has sought approval for a terminal on the Skipanon Peninsula in Warrenton and a pipe- line that would link to a natural gas connec- tor in Washington state. The Jordan Cove project involved an export terminal on the North Spit of Coos Bay and a 232-mile natural gas pipeline that would originate near Malin and serve the terminal. See JORDAN COVE, Page 10A More than just the writing on the wall Calligraphers share art with roots in many world cultures S EASIDE — What is it about the art of calligra- phy that draws artists from throughout the centuries? “I love the free form, rather than the more structured,” North Coast calligrapher Bev Gilbertson said ahead of an exhibition by local cal- ligraphers at Seaside Public Library. The art of Gilbertson, Kay Aya, Rebecca Read and John Rippey is on display in the library foyer and community room through April 26. Calligraphy is an art with roots in all cultures. Chinese, Japanese and Arabic penman- ship all have centuries of cal- ligraphic history as strong as the Western tradition of let- ter arts. It is the design and execution of lettering with a broad tip instrument, dip pen, or brush. Modern-day calligra- phy is most familiar to us as linen and paper art. We often see it in wedding invitations and sometimes incorporated into ¿ne art pieces. Callig- raphy continues to Àourish in the forms of font designs, hand-lettered logo designs, cut stone inscriptions and memorial documents. Read works in her Gear- hart studio and teaches cal- ligraphy part-time at Clatsop Community College. She started her education in calligraphy at age 14. At 18, Read attended the Oregon College of Arts and Crafts in northwest Portland. See ARTISTS, Page 10A Rebecca Read in her Gearhart studio as she pre- pares to begin a new proj- ect.
