NOVEMBER 24, 2016 // 7 How were the Corps of Discovery and the War of 1812 connected? History & Hops speaker to delve into specifics at Nov. 30 lecture SEASIDE — The next Histo- ry & Hops free local history lecture will take place at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30 at Seaside Brewing Co., locat- ed at 851 Broadway. Due to Thanksgiving, this month’s date has been adjusted from the usual last Thursday of the month to the last Wednesday of the month. When thinking about the Lewis and Clark Expedi- tion, the War of 1812 does not usually come to mind. But the two historical hap- penings are connected. At History & Hops, Lorna Hainesworth, a self-described ambassador and national traveler, will share her research and findings about members of the Corps of Discovery and others closely associated who had significant life experiences during the War of 1812. She’ll use illustrations and contemporary maps to describe events of the war and shows current-day photographs of some of the places where members of the Lewis and Clark Expe- dition were known to have served. An essay on the subject will be available to event attendees. Hainesworth has pre- sented at many historical societies and events across the country. History & Hops is a monthly series of local history discussions hosted by the Seaside Museum at Seaside Brewing Co. The Seaside Museum and Historical Society is a nonprofit educational institution with the mission to collect, preserve and in- terpret materials illustrative of the history of Seaside and the surrounding area. The museum is located at 570 Necanicum Drive and is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

Watershed councils are locally organized, volun- tary, non-regulatory groups established to improve the condition of watersheds in their local area. Watershed councils are made up of peo- ple from the local commu- nities. They represent local knowledge and have ties to the existing community in all its complexities. Councils work across jurisdictional boundaries and agency man- dates to look at the water- shed more holistically. The council can be a forum to bring local, state and federal land management agencies and plans together with local property owners and private land managers. Through the council, partnerships between residents, local, state and federal agency staff and other groups can be developed Local watershed councils are effective in the develop- ment and implementation of projects to maintain and restore the biological and physical process in the water- sheds for the sustainability of their communities. Councils bring varied interests together in a non-regulatory setting to form a common vision for the ecological and economic sustainability and livability of their watershed. Councils often identify landowner participants for important projects, develop priorities for local projects, and establish goals and standards for future conditions in the watershed. LNWC is a citizens’ group and tax-exempt nonprofit corporation. The duties of a board member include providing leadership and direction to the coun- cil, guiding the work of the council, reviewing project and grant proposals, and reg- ular attendance at monthly meetings.

The Board of Directors meets monthly, typically from 3 to 5 p.m. the first Wednesday of the month, at Nehalem City Hall, which is located at 35900 Eighth St. The next LNWC meeting will be held Wednesday, Dec. 7.
