Seaside library to have new name Mayor Larson’s contributions to area lead to honor By R.J. Marx Seaside Signal He was the man holding the scissors at the 2008 rib- bon-cutting for the Seaside Public Library. Monday, Nov. 14, Mayor Don Larson received a place in Seaside’s literary history as he was honored with the renaming of the library building at 1131 Broadway. Seaside city coun- cilors made the decision based on the mayor’s “numerous and extraordinary contributions to The Seaside Public Library building will be renamed after Mayor Don Larson. local government leading to positive changes for the future of Oregon.” Councilors extolled the mayor’s “extraordinary pas- sion and visionary leadership to the city of Seaside.” The renaming came just before Larson announced his intention to step down as mayor after the second year of his fourth term. “I did not know he was go- ing to retire,” Seaside Library Director Esther Moberg said after the meeting. “That was a surprise.” Moberg said Larson and his wife, Lois, were instru- mental in fi nding the right lo- cation for the building in 2008 and “have been great support- ers of the library.” The resolution, adopted unanimously, recognizes Lar- son’s major contributions to the library project, from the fi rst discussion to construc- tion and completion.

DINING on the NORTH COAST Great Restaurants in: GEARHART SEASIDE CANNON BEACH Author shares Olympic experience The Friends of the Sea- side Library will host Carolyn Wood, author of “Tough Girl: An Olympian’s Journey.” The event will take place 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 15, with book sales and signings by Beach Books. Carolyn Wood was born in Portland and swam for the Multnomah Athletic Club and Beaverton High School, where she won seven indi- vidual state championships in butterfl y, freestyle and the in- dividual medley. At the 1960 U.S. Olympic Trials, at the age of 14, she fi nished fi rst in the 100-meter butterfl y and was favored to win the gold medal in Rome. At the Olym- pics, during the women’s 100-meter butterfl y fi nal, Car- olyn swallowed water during the turn and did not fi nish the race. She did win a gold med- al as a member of the wom- en’s 4 x 100-meter freestyle relay team, together with Joan Spillane, Shirley Stobs, and Chris von Saltza. The U.S. relay team set a new world re- cord in the event fi nal — nine seconds faster than the previ- ous record. At 14, Wood was the youngest member of the 1960 U.S. Olympic team to win a medal. Wood’s story in “Tough Girl” details the training and commitment it took to become an Olympian at just 14 years old. She also tells of growing up in mid-century Portland, of being a closeted athlete, and of coming out and fi ghting for gay rights. It is the account of youthful dreams and exuber- ance, of struggle and the will to overcome obstacles in sport as well as in life. Following the Olympics, Wood returned to her home- town of Portland and com- pleted her studies at Beaver- ton High School. She attended the University of Oregon, be- came an English teacher and taught at both Beaverton and Wilson high schools. She was inducted into the Oregon Sports Hall of Fame in 1992. “Tough Girl” is her fi rst book. Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway.
