SCRATCHPAD
An art, culture fi lled summer and fall
By JONATHAN WILLIAMS
COAST WEEKEND EDITOR
H
ow is it almost the middle of Octo-
ber? My time as editor of Coast
Weekend has gone by extremely
fast. And I have loved every minute of it.
It is noteworthy that our region has a
weekly arts publication like Coast Week-
end. Many papers don’t have arts reporter
anymore, leaving much of a city’s arts news
unreported.
Being able to chronicle the North Coast’s
arts scene for the past fi ve months has been
a privilege and joy. I will always remem-
ber the many stories I was able to edit and
write. Our area holds some of the most pas-
sionate and committed artistic people and
groups around. We are a more vibrant com-
munity because of them.
I was overjoyed to read all of the fall
poetry submissions. We received so many
that we are going to run them in a two-
page spread in the Oct. 17 issue of Coast
Weekend.
I also want to note that this will be my
fi nal issue as editor of Coast Weekend.
I have accepted a promotion to work as
the associate editor at The Astorian. Lucy
Kleiner, our intern at The Astorian, starts
this week as the new Coast Weekend editor.
You can email her story tips, ideas and feed-
back at lkleiner@dailyastorian.com. Lucy
contributed to Coast Weekend this summer
and will do a tremendous job as editor.
I am proud of the redesign and improve-
ments to Coast Weekend I was able to make
during my time as editor. I will still contrib-
ute to the publication when I can, and have
quite a few stories coming throughout the
rest of this month.
It has been wonderful working with this
community and I look forward to working
with Lucy on continuing Coast Weekend’s
vital role in chronicling the arts scene on
our coast.
