Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2016 Big gift gets big toast Heavy rains cause closure in a portion of Ecola State Park Magnanimous Mug pulls in $64,494 for nonproﬁ ts The Daily Astorian In its second year, Fort George Brewery’s Magnan- imous Mug Award contest raised $64,494 for local non- proﬁ ts and charities. The brewery takes nom- inations from local causes for magnanimous folks, who each raise money throughout November. The event culmi- nated in an awards ceremony Giving Tuesday, Nov. 29. Dulcye Taylor, owner of Old Town Framing and board president of the Asto- ria Downtown Historic Dis- trict Association, took home the Magnanimous Mug, rais- ing $19,093 for the North Coast Food Web. Fort George matched the donation, gifting the Food Web with more than $38,000. For her efforts, Taylor received the Magnanimous Mug and a spot in the brew- ery’s mug club for the next year. She received a larg- er-than-normal ceramic mug that provides 4 extra ounces on normal pours. Taylor raised funds for the Astoria Warming Cen- ter last year, and said the Food Web nominated her this year. Among its many activ- Dulcye Taylor Fort George’s Magnani- mous Mug Award contest raised more than $64,000 for local nonprofits. The winner, Dulcye Taylor, won the mug for a year. hosts public meet-and-greets with farmers; distributes mobile gardens inside shop- ping carts to local classrooms, families and businesses; and maintains the North Coast Food Guide, an online com- pendium of food growers and makers throughout the region. ities, the Food Web cooks soup three nights a week at the Astoria Warming Center in the First United Methodist Church. Taylor said fundrais- ing for the Food Web felt like a natural way to further sup- port the warming center and the group’s other programs. The Food Web organizes the River People Farmers Market from June to October, with local food producers. In their new kitchen at 577 18th St. in Astoria, the group teaches cooking classes, sells locally grown chicken and duck eggs each Wednesday and will hold a pop-up holi- day farmers market Dec. 21. The group organizes food and farming conferences; Six other competitors for the Magnanimous Mug Award raised more than $26,000, including: • $15,825 from Becky Johnson for the Colum- bia Senior Diners Meals on Wheels. • $5,372 from Marcy Dunning for Clatsop Animal Assistance. • $2,163 from Becky Gra- ham for Clatsop County 4-H. • $1,065 from Jesse Jones for Astoria Visual Arts. • $1,030 from Riki Irie for Clatsop Animal Assistance. • $827 from Debbie Twombly for Victory Over Child Abuse’s Healing Circle camps. Submitted Photo Other causes The Daily Astorian/File Photo Heavy rains have once again caused erosion around the Canyon Creek culvert and along Ecola Park Road in Ecola State Park, closing access to Indian Beach. The Daily Astorian CANNON BEACH — Recent storms have closed access to Indian Beach in Ecola State Park. Park Manager Ben Cox said heavy rains damaged tem- porary repairs made to the trail between Ecola Point and Indian Beach trail after a series of storms last December and early this year. The rains have caused additional sinking and sliding on Ecola Park Road and erosion around the Can- yon Creek culvert. “Day-use parking at Ecola Point and Crescent Beach Trail remain open,” Cox said. “We don’t know how long it will take to repair Indian Beach Trail and Ecola Road, and the rainy season has just started, further hindering our work.” The road closure prevents access to the northern portion of the park, including the Clat- sop Loop trail. The usual $5 day use parking fee at Ecola State Park has been waived until repairs are made and con- ditions are safe for visitors. The fee will be reinstated with- out notice after the repairs. Cox said the northern Til- lamook Head trailhead in Sea- side is open, but visitors should watch for possible trail dam- age. He said visitors should drive cautiously on Ecola Road from Cannon Beach to Ecola Point. The road is open and park rangers are monitor- ing conditions.
