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

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.

Watershed Council is seek-

Board of Directors.
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.
