A2 THE DAILY ASTORIAN • WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19, 2018 What’s a favorite Christmas memory? “I grew up in Puerto Rico, and haven’t spent a Christmas there in over 26 years. The thing I miss the most is the food. We have a version of eggnog, coquito, made of rum and coconut. It’s absolutely delicious. I really miss that.” Sharon Collyer, Astoria THE DAILY ASTORIAN // QUESTION OF THE WEEK Grant aids art center Clatsop County is seek- ing input from residents about how to best direct money from a newly established homelessness fund. The Odd Fellows Building in Astoria. fundraising to cover basic expenses. There has not been extra money to fund a paid position. “This is precisely why the (Oregon Community Foundation) grant is a huge step for us towards sustain- able growth,” said West, who, for over a decade, has made her income by work- ing with horses. The grant allows her to scale back from this day-to- day work and focus more directly on the Arts and Movement Center, a goal since the purchase of the Odd Fellows B uilding. “What (the center) is able to offer, who we are able to reach and the partnerships we are able to form are all a direct result of the hours spent supporting the orga- nization’s infrastructure,” West said. “With (the Ore- gon Community Founda- tion’s) support, now I have the time and ability to do just that.” Besides offering classes, the Arts and Movement Cen- ter routinely opens the Odd Fellows ballroom for com- munity events and dances. With the encouragement of West and Mazzarella, a new theater is also in the works on the building’s fi rst fl oor. Dan Stein, of Astoria, who serves on the North Coast Advisory Council to the Ore- gon Community Foundation, presented the grant to West at a recent board meeting. He praised the organization’s work in the community. “We knew great things were happening here and we wanted to make sure we helped,” he said. been homeless, what ser- vices they have used and to identify the best ways to help. The County commis- sion voted in May to estab- lish the fund and use a land sale as seed money. The survey, found on the county website, is a 10-question poll about the factors that lead peo- ple to homelessness and seeks to gauge opinions on potential solutions. It asks respondents if they’ve FRIDAY 55 39 Clouds, rain; breezy late tree limbs and trees, causing power outages. A high surf advisory is also in effect for 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. today .

Winds from the south could reach up to 40 mph By KATIE FRANKOWICZ The Daily Astorian A downtown organiza- tion that offers dance and exercise classes is gearing up for a big leap. The Astoria Arts and Movement Center, housed in the historic Odd Fellows Building on Commercial Street, recently received a $22,000 grant from the Ore- gon Community Founda- tion to help fund a part-time executive director. Jessamyn West, founder of the Arts and Movement Center, says the enterprise has been a “10- to- 20- hour- plus a week, 100 percent volunteer commitment.” West is one of three local women who make up the Astoria Odd Fellows LLC, which purchased the Odd Fellows B uilding earlier this year amid community con- cerns over a potential buyer from the Portland area. The LLC includes Andrea Maz- zarella, a real estate agent who serves as president of the Arts and Movement Cen- ter’s board, and Nancy Maz- zarella-Tisch, also a member of the center’s board. Rent paid by instructors accounts for only 60 per- cent of the center’s annual budget, and the center relies on grants, donations and ”My Uncle Bob as Santa Claus, and the big family celebrations.” Dinah Urell, Astoria SATURDAY 49 37 SUNDAY 48 41 52 42 Mostly cloudy with a stray Mostly cloudy, a little rain shower in the p.m. Cloudy, rain; windy Periods of rain Edward Paul Weber passed away in Port- master of the Pacifi c Grange for 20-plus land, Oregon, as result of congestive heart years, and was still a member at the time of his passing. failure, on Dec. 16, 2018.
