ent in our community and

Next, there are specta-
tors. Spectators have the
ability to be either helpful
or frustrating, depending
on what action they take.
Those who choose to sit
on the sideline and watch
the game may off er support
and perspective, but they
can also be critical of those
more involved in the action.
Lastly, there are partic-
ipatators.
Participatators
are folks who do their part,
act within the systems and
opportunities available to
them and improve the lives
of those around them. It
makes little diff erence what
the role is, participatators
always do their best and
care less about credit than
they do about collaboration.
I’m incredibly grate-
ful for the wonderful life
and signifi cant impact that
Claudia Archibald had on
me and countless others.
I challenge each of you to
act within your infl uence,
participate and be a model
of the characteristics she
upheld.

Art: Supporting salmon
where along the waterway.
“We are on our way to
getting fi ve coho high in
the trees above the Neawa-
nna Creek before the
real salmon come back
to spawn in November,”
Holmes said. “There is
so much to say about the
value of salmon nourish-
ing the trees. These coho
still, after all these years,
come back to spawn in the
Neawanna.”
The natural history park
also provides critical out-
door recreation for commu-
nity members that supports
health and well-being. The
mental and physical bene-
fi t of being out in nature are
well-documented, Holmes
said, but “we sort of take it
for granted, or we ignore it,
or we don’t know about it.”
City Council mem-
ber Tom Horning, the liai-
son for the Parks Advisory
Committee, also was at
the event to give visitors a
glimpse into the geological
history of the area and how
the Necanicum watershed
has evolved over centuries.
Meanwhile, at Broad-
way Park, the Necanicum
Watershed Council set up a
booth that provided views
of both the osprey nest
where the organization has
a camera and the Neawanna
kayak and canoe launch that
they helped secure along-
side the city of Seaside and
the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife’s Resto-
ration and Enhancement
Board in 2015.
Thanks to the inviting
weather, the volunteers and
visitors got to see the ramp
in use all day, according
to Joyce Hunt, chair of the
council board.
The organization is a
partner in the Mill Ponds
project.
“It’s all about support-
ing salmon habitat,” Hunt
said, adding the council

On April 3, 2021, my
grandmother Claudia Foster
Archibald passed away at
her home in North Ogden,
Utah. She was a monumen-

my life and in our family’s
course. I’d like to share a bit
more about what made her
just quite so special.
My grandma was born,
raised and spent much of
her early life in the beautiful
Teton Valley in southeast-
ern Idaho. The communities
there are sparsely populated
but what they may lack
