Big gift gets big toast
Heavy rains cause closure in

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-

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

Award raised more than
$26,000, including:

Johnson for the Colum-
bia Senior Diners Meals on
Wheels.
• $5,372 from Marcy
Dunning for Clatsop Animal

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.
