Clatskanie’s new mural
The city’s latest mural on North Nehalem St. is nearly complete as of Wednesday, Dec. 1. In April, Columbia County artist Jeremy Furnish announced plans for the mural, inspired by the literary works of renowned American author Raymond Carter, who was born in Clatskanie in 1938. Furnish issued a “Call to Artists / Request for Design Proposals,” asking student, emerging, and professional artists living in the Lower Columbia Region for the mural. Seaside resident Dylan Eckland’s submission was selected as first place by a panel of judges for his depiction of the renowned author alongside Beaver Falls and a quote from his poem ‘Where Water Comes Together With Other Water.’ The quote reads, “I’ll take all the time I please this afternoon before leaving my place alongside this river.” The Chief will follow up with Furnish upon the mural’s completion date.

InRoads Credit Union and Fibre Federal also have tags to shop for specifically requested client items. The CRFR Facebook post said it is a 501c3 nonprofit volunteer association and can provide donors with a tax receipt. “We appreciate all the partnerships and welcome more with local businesses and all the donations that support our community,” the CRFR Facebook post states.
