Plastic: Artwork takes new forms in Cannon Beach
Continued from Page A1
The participants worked with
fragments of old beach toys,
pieces of rope, and twisted
bits of plastic from indistin-
guishable sources that were
collected from the Pacifi c
shore. Regardless of skill
level, each person ended up
with a piece of multi-dimen-
sional artwork that can now
be “a storytelling device,”
Rice said.
Because ocean plastics are
known to concentrate toxic
pollutants — which is an addi-
tional danger to marine eco-
systems — she goes through
a multistep cleaning method
to help detoxify the plastic
before it is extensively han-
dled. Even still, she encour-
aged participants to wash their
hands after crafting with the
debris and before consum-
ing food. When the art pieces
are in schools or other areas
frequented by children, she
said, they are encased in plant-
based resin to ensure the kids
“aren’t exposed to anything.”
The art association is
working to take similar envi-
ronmental art workshops
into the area schools with
the help of working artists in
the community.
“It is really important to
me that art is getting to stu-
dents,” Sokol said.
Rice agreed, adding,
“There’s not a lot of art left in
schools. Bringing it in along
with science is awesome.”
The next workshop in the
series is “How Does Your
Garden Grow: Beach Plas-
tic Floral Assemblage,” with
artist Mary Bess Gloria, on
Saturday, March 23. For

Plan: Will it be a touch-
up or fresh start?

He was, however, sup-
portive of updating the
current
comprehensive
plan, a process that will be
initiated by St. Denis and
presented to the council in
April.
St. Denis will iden-
tify items within the city’s
current
comprehensive
plan, present his fi ndings
back to the council around
April, and start taking
action for a plan update in
the fall, which will include
ample time for public
input.
At their December
retreat, the council iden-
tifi ed 13 priorities for dis-
cussion, led by work-
force housing options,
improving infrastructure
and sustainability. A fore-
Bruce St. Denis
dune management plan
also stood near the top of
the list, with discussions
planned after the comple-
tion of the budget.
The city’s Budget Com-
mittee will hold a prelimi-
nary meeting on March
27, with the process offi -
cially starting in May.

She said she hopes to join
the district’s efforts to raise
student achievement, help
students grow socially and
emotionally, and become
part of the community.
“That’s who I am and that’s
a district I want to be a part
of.”
The selection committee,
consisting of three mem-
bers of the board, will pro-
vide a recommendation to
the board for the March 19
board meeting.
“We’ll do a review of
all the information,” Roley
said. “We’ve already vis-
ited schools, we’ve already
checked references. This
will be one more piece or
several more pieces of infor-
mation to see what the dis-
trict and staff have to share.”
