Cultural Perspectives: school to host local logger/musician Shoreline Christian School invites homeschool and public school students in grades K-8 to join them for an educational and insightful presentation by local singer/logger/historian, Craig Jenkins. As part of their local history and culture curriculum, stu- dents at Shoreline Christian School in Florence have been studying logging. Teacher Karen Nelson has invited Jenkins to share a few of his original songs about life in the woods along with stories of adventure, and misadven- ture, from the logging camps of the Oregon Coast Range and Alaska. Nelson says students will enjoy unique music and story- telling while learning some of the disappearing history of our region. Jenkins, a Mapleton resi- dent, is a member of a multi- generational logging family and one-half of The Craig and Terry Band, also known as “The Singing Loggers.” This free event will begin at 9 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 26, at Shoreline Christian School, 4445 Highway 101, Florence.
