8A • December 30, 2016 | Cannon Beach Gazette | cannonbeachgazette.com Arts Association, director split By Lyra Fontaine and R.J. Marx Cannon Beach Gazette In early December, Jane Brumfield was accepting a grant from the Clatsop Coun- ty Cultural Coalition at a cer- emony at the Clatsop County Community College’s South Campus. Two weeks later, Brumfield left the post. In a text state- ment, she said she would pre- fer not to talk about her former organization and she “only wishes them well.” Brumfield accepted $600 from the coalition on behalf of the Cannon Beach Arts Asso- ciation’s “Artists Talk,” a se- ries aimed at sharing informa- tion and experiences between artists and arts professionals. Cannon Beach Arts Asso- ciation Board President Lila Wickham said the organiza- tion’s board will begin posting for a replacement in January. “The Cannon Beach Arts Association wishes the best of luck to Jane Brumfield, who has served as the program art director for the last year and a half,” Wickham said in a statement to members. “Jane is stepping away, allowing her- R.J.

THE CELEBRATION BEGINS MARCH 3 Tickets: 503-436-1242 or costertheatre.com The Beach Bill estab- lished public recreational use of beaches, but Maine said more work was needed to raise awareness of dy- namic ecological processes that occur on the Oregon coast. A former science teach- er, Maine has spent years “blowing our minds about things we already thought we knew about,” said Lisa Habecker, Haystack Rock Awareness Program educa- tion and volunteer coordi- nator. Oregon beaches were considered public use by Native Americans for cen- turies. An 1851 treaty the United States signed with the Clatsop Tribe made pro- visions for beach access. In 1913, Governor Os- wald West passed a bill that declared all Oregon beach- es between high and low tides to be a public high- way, which set the stage for the Beach Bill, Maine said. Though the state sold land on the beach to private own- ers, the public could still use the beach. In 1966, Bill Hay, own- er of the Surfsand Motel in Cannon Beach, sectioned off part of the beach for ho- tel guests only. Since West’s bill only protected wet sands, the Beach Bill was in- troduced to make dry sands publicly accessible. However, citizens formed an organization that campaigned to bring the Beach Bill back to life. The movement promoted the idea of the beach as a place for families, and kids cam- paigned on Portland streets to “Save the beaches.” In 1967, the Beach Bill passed, declaring all wet sand within 16 vertical feet of the low tide line to be state property. Maine challenged the audience to think beyond the Beach Bill, exploring possible methods of pub- lic involvement on Oregon beaches for the next 50 years. “These are living, dy- namic systems,” Maine said. “They’re just not as conspicuous as some sys- tems like fish in the stream or elk coming across the meadow. From hashbrown potatoes ground fresh daily and award-winning sourdough pancakes to homemade soups and clam chowder, you’ll find delicious family friendly dining at the Pig ‘N Pancake. Over 35 breakfast varieties and a complete lunch menu, too. Our dining area overlooks a beautiful wetland area and downtown Cannon Beach.

Friday, Dec. 30 through education, events and exhibits. In the past, the arts association was known for multidisciplinary events, add- ing concerts and special events to their showings. Those as- pects are less emphasized today, with the gallery and scholarships the primary focus of the association. Brumfield, who moved to the region with her husband Michael in June 2015, had run a gallery in the Hyde Park section of Boise, Idaho, since 2009. In an interview prior to the 2015 Stormy Weather Arts Festival, Brumfield said she sought to bring “as many voices in as possible to get so we get a good range of work to look at, and to select from.” The association provides art scholarships, an intern- ship and an individual artist grant. The summer camp, for which the Stormy Weather chamber grant is designated, draws a mix of local and out- of-town students. Visitors to Cannon Beach often bring their children and send them to camp while they vacation, she said. The arts association re- ceived two grants from the city of Cannon Beach for 2015-16 programming. The Parks and Community Services Committee award- ed more than $8,500 in sup- port of the association’s five primary programs: Cannon Beach gallery, summer art camp, individual artist grant, summer internship, and high school scholarships. The Tourism and Arts Commis- sion awarded almost $13,000 in support of the association’s juried show program.
