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

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.

Westlake boat ramp reopens
Lane County announced
Friday that the Westlake boat
ramp repair is complete and
the boat ramp is open again.
The ramp was closed on
Nov. 6 in order to repair the
dock abutment damaged dur-
ing storms in 2012.
The cost for repair was part-
ly funded by disaster relief
funds from the Federal
Emergency
Management
Agency (FEMA).
The repairs were originally
scheduled to be complete in
mid-December; however, a
series of storms and high water
levels delayed work for sever-
al weeks.
