Teens narrow ly
avoid drowning
at Beaver Falls
Five young Vernonians were
fortunate to survive a 70-foot
trip over Beaver Falls, near
Clatskanie, two days before
Christmas.
Urged on by his companions
in an ill-advised attempt to ford
Beaver Creek with a 1973 four-
wheel-drive Suburban, 16-
year-old Christopher Woodall
discovered too late that the
water was high enough to float
the vehicle. As the current took
the car toward the waterfall and
started to overturn it, Woodall
and his passengers - Jake
Hartman, 17, and Tyler Lind

“The purpose of this pro
gram is to demonstrate the
range of ways in which experi
ences in the arts can help at-
risk youth,” said Christine D'Ar-
cy, Arts Commission director.
“The intent of the program is to
support substantive projects
across the state, with a focus
on serving high-risk youth ei
ther within a community or in
an institutional program and
their families, or those located
in high-risk geographical ar-
eas.
Projects selected for funding
from the Arts Reaching Youth
Initiative should demonstrate
how the arts can reach at-risk
youth and be a basis for model
programs in both community
and institutional settings. The
program will specifically sup
port strong community collabo
rations addressing youth-at-
risk issues, according to D’Ar-
cy-
Proposals are invited from
across Oregon, especially from
distressed communities with
the following characteristics:
geographic
isolation,
and
(whether rural or urban) a his
tory of powerful social, cultural
or economic barriers. Propos
als may be for the continuation
or expansion of an existing pro
gram or the development of a
new program.
Funding re
quests
may
range from
$10,000 to $50,000.
A request for proposal form
is available from the Oregon
Arts Commission, 775 Summer
Street NE, Salem, Oregon
97301-1284, or by calling (503)
986-0082. Guidelines are also
posted on the commission’s
web site at art.econ.state.or.us.
The Oregon Arts Commis
sion is part of the Oregon Eco
nomic and Community Devel
opment Department. Its fund
ing is appropriated by the Ore
gon Legislature with additional
funds granted by the National
Endowment for the Arts.
