SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 2016 Cape Perpetua Discovery Series continues Feb. 13 YACHATS — The blue-col- lar logging community of Waldport hardly would seem the birthplace for the radical peace movement of the 1960s. But a war a generation earli- er and a conscientious objec- tors camp on the Siuslaw National Forest may have laid the groundwork for the ensuing cultural revolution. Author and historian Steve McQuiddy will discuss his book “Here on the Edge” at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 13, as part of the Winter Discovery Series at the Cape Perpetua Visitor Center, 2400 S. Highway 101. From October 1942 until April 1946, Camp Angell was the second conscientious objector’s camp in Oregon, detaining about 120 objectors. A brochure circulated at the time, penned by renowned poet William Everson, described the camp as a “School for Fine Arts,” and men with interests or experience in the creative arts were invited to transfer to the camp. “These people had an enor- mous effect on an entire gener- ation,” McQuiddy said. “But many Americans today are not even aware that there were conscientious objectors at all during World War II.” During the day, the men worked planting trees, crush- ing rock, building roads, chop- ping wood and fighting forest fires. At night, however, they pro- duced books, plays, art and music — giving up to 15 com- munity performances a week. The camp produced such lit- erary works as “War Elegies” and “Waldport Poems” by Everson and “Horned Moon” by Glen Coffield. After the war, McQuiddy Sailors from 1B The Sailors also got scoring from sophomore wing Clarissa Triebskorn, sophomore wing Alexis Gierke and senior wing Destine Weber, each of whom had two points against the Eagles. Junior post Josi Hays brought down two rebounds to go with five steals and one blocked shot. The win put the sixth-place Triathlon from 1B Competitors from as far away as Australia have made their way here to compete in this unique event. Dunes City will pay a $250 cash prize to the organization that registers and brings the said, camp members went on to influence other cultural events which eventually led to the radical peace movement of the ’60s. “Nearly all the great social movements in history can be traced to small groups working in obscurity, sometimes for years,” McQuiddy observes. “It’s powerful to actually see the evidence of how small actions really can make a big difference.” McQuiddy has won awards for his feature writing, while “Here on the Edge” was a 2014 finalist for the $10,000 Dayton Literary Peace Prize. He is an honorary director of the Oregon Cultural Heritage Commission and teaches writ- ing at Lane Community College in Eugene.
