The day was one of many in “12 days of Earth Day,” the eighth annual, citywide celebration of Earth Day. Each day is fi lled an activi- ty or presentation that seeks to celebrate the preservation of Cannon Beach’s unique, natural gifts, HRAP program coordinator Melissa Keyser said. Altogether the events usually attract about 1,000 people, she said. “Cannon Beach is such a unique, stewardship based community,” Keyser said. “Earth day is about the co- alescence of that, and we have 12 days leading up to it to focus on sustainability and stewardship.” Upcoming events include a bird walk along Ecola Creek, a marine debris art contest, where artists are tasked with creating pieces no larger than 2 cubic inches entirely out of trash found on the beach, and an environ- mental street fair. Barb Knop, an integral organizer and one of the core founders of the cele- bration, said the goal is and always has been to educate the public. “We want to get across that every day is Earth Day,” Knop said. Another goal this year is to recruit younger folks around the community to help carry on the legacy, she said. “We have a lot of core people retiring from the Parks & Community Services Committee, so we are looking for more volunteers to keep this going,” she said. “It has become a part of the people of Cannon Beach’s lives.” Bengel to edit Coast Weekend, Our Coast Former Cannon Beach reporter takes reins By Edward Stratton EO Media Group Since college, Erick Bengel has jumped back and forth be- tween the hard news and fea- tures sections of the papers he’s worked at. A reporter for the EO Me- dia Group since 2013, Cannon Beach residents know Bengel as a reporter for the Gazette until 2015. Bengel was recent- ly named the features editor of Coast Weekend, Weekend Break and Our Coast. Although learning in a trial by fi re, Ben- gel said the transition feels nat- ural. “I think arts and culture is kind of my home,” he said. “Sometimes when I write news stories, straight newsy style, I feel like I’m trying to adopt an accent … I feel like I have Erick Bengel to kind of throw my voice to sound like somebody I’m not.” Bengel grew up in Albany and attended Southern Oregon University, where he studied English literature and philoso- phy. “I started out as a news writer for Portland State (Uni- versity’s) Vanguard” student newspaper, he said. “I was kind of going through a phase where I was just trying different ac- tivities to see if I was good at them.” After contributing the Van- guard and Ashland Daily Tid- ings, Bengel joined The Daily Astorian as an intern through the Charles Snowden Program for Excellence in Journalism, his fi rst full-time journalism job. After his internship, Ben- gel returned to Portland State, where he was arts and culture editor for the Vanguard, before being named the paper’s editor in chief. In August 2013, he be- came a reporter at The Cannon Beach Gazette, and in 2015 transferred to The Daily Asto- rian, covering the cities of As- toria and Warrenton and quality of life issues. “Every year, I said ‘This is my last year,’ whatever it was I was doing,” he said. “But somehow, I was able to parlay one job into the next, just kept going. And the arts and culture editorship is probably the most fun I’ve ever had.” The handoff He’s not a fully function- ing editor yet, but Bengel said he’s taking over a well-oiled machine from Rebecca Sedlak, who held the position for the past 4½ years before taking a Mom’s are Sweet!

The council passed a mo- tion to hear the resolution at the next city council meeting, which was met with a round of applause from audience of about 30 attendees. Mayor Sam Steidel ap- plauded the resolution’s sim- ilarities to Astoria’s. “I was very impressed with how Astoria’s resolu- tion worked,” Steidel said. While the resolution is a start, Schermerhorn still wants to address building a better connection with folks in the Latino community. “We would lose a lot of valued people in town if our community continued to live in fear,” he said. “We want to grow this relationship.” N e w Tourists, visitors, family & friends will love sending these!

Right now, I’m trying to understand how she did things organizationally, the structures that she built to keep herself and her writers on track.” Rather than helping groom aspiring writers at the college level, Bengel said, he’ll have the advantage of working with trained professionals who al- ready have a voice. Part of his imprint on Coast Weekend, he said, will be to increase the journalistic substance of Coast Weekend. “We want the writing to sound less like publicist writ- ing, less press release-y,” he said. “Obviously it’s going to be replete with press releas- es and all of that, but when it comes to the actual feature stories, I want there to be a bit more of an edge to it.” 949 Exchange Street, Astoria • 503-325-3211 M A R K ETPL A C E T o pla ce a cla ssified a d ca ll 503-436-2812, log on to w w w .ca n n on bea ch ga zette.com or stop in a t 1555 N .
