A3 THE ASTORIAN • SATURDAY, AUGUST 8, 2020 Queen: ‘We had an amazing year together’ County reports one new virus case Continued from Page A1 Artist Jeremy Furnish presented his sculpture to a small group of people and the Astoria Regatta Court on Wednesday afternoon. “We had an amazing year together,” she said. One of her responsibil- ities as queen will be to mentor next year’s Regatta C ourt. “I look forward to leading them and helping them pre- pare their speeches and gain confi dence in public speak- ing,” Steele said. “Hope- fully, they will have a little more fun next year, getting to go to more of the events.” Before the coronation , the court made an appear- ance at a new waterfront monument installed near the Columbia River Maritime Museum. The monument commem- orates the 125th anniversary of the Regatta festival. Last year, the Regatta and Astoria Visual Art s selected artist Jeremy Furnish’s con- cept for the monument. The 10 -foot-tall sculpture is made of bronze and stain- less steel that swirls around a bright blue piece of cast glass that Furnish referred to as the “eye of the rolling wave.” A butterfl y sailboat was designed on the glass to rep- resent the festival. “It’s symbolizing the water and the land, side by side as they come down the river. It’s like a marriage, or a union, between the land and the sea,” Furnish said. A plaque behind the mon- ument will be engraved with the story of the Regatta fes- tival and the name of each sponsor that has contributed to the festival and the schol- arships awarded to each year’s Regatta Court. Furnish said the oppor- tunity was import- ant to him because his great-great-grandfather immigrated from Denmark to Astoria the same year the Regatta tradition began. “It resonated with me. I t was something that I really had to put extra effort into,” Furnish said. “It meant a lot.” The Astorian Clatsop County reported Thursday that a man liv- ing in the southern part of the county has tested posi- tive for the coronavirus. The man is in his 20s and was reportedly recover- ing at home. The county has recorded 83 cases since March 23. Sixty-six have recovered, according to the county, and the others are convalescing at home. The Oregon Health Authority reported 20,636 cases and 348 deaths from the virus statewide as of Friday morning. The health authority tracked 3,806 test results in Clatsop County. Morgan Grindy/The Astorian Arch Cape: Project received signifi cant funding this year Continued from Page A1 The property the district hopes to purchase would tie into an additional 3,500 acres the North Coast Land Conservancy is in the pro- cess of acquiring for its $10 million Rainforest Reserve project. That project also received signifi cant fund- ing this year in the form of a $2.1 million Oregon Water- shed Enhancement Board grant. This year has highlighted another need besides water quality, Chick noted. When much of the state shut down in the spring to slow the spread of the coronavirus, outdoor rec- reational options were lim- ited in the southern portions of the North Coast. Large state parks like Oswald West, Ecola and Nehalem and other state lands closed, restricting access to beaches and forests. The proposed commu- nity forest property was one of the few places people could go, Chick said. “It’s a really vital recre- ation area for people from all over,” he said.
