Food Share Benefit and Historical Discoveries on Central Oregon Coast

(Newport, Oregon) – More history is coming to light in the Newport area, thanks to a donation of fascinating photographs, and a major, one-of-a-kind event is set to benefit a local charity.
The second annual Be Jeweled event comes to Newport, Oregon on February 7, featuring a wide variety of jewelry for sale – all to benefit Food Share of Lincoln County.
The bling is second hand but glittery nonetheless. The eclectic selection includes beaded necklaces, lead crystal earrings, sterling bracelets, rings with diamonds, jade pendants and a ton of other treasures. Better yet, all the goodies are priced from 25 cents to $25.
Be Jeweled happens 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Newport Senior Activity Center, 20 S.E. 2nd Street, Newport, Oregon (one block off Highway 20).

Be Jeweled was inspired by a similar sale on the East Coast and promises to be an annual Newport happening. Many attendees described last year's event as the ultimate in recycled jewelry sales.
This year each Be Jeweled buyer will receive merchant coupon/discount sheets. Shoppers from out of the area and local patrons alike will have a chance to enjoy free or discounted items from many Newport merchants.
“This is a perfect pre-valentine jewelry sale,” says Linda Neigebauer, Be Jeweled signature sponsor. “With vintage, costume, fine jewelry, and just fun casual, there's something here for everybody.”
Neigebauer is the owner of Nye Cottage Beads and Vacation Rentals, where jewelry from community donations has been collected and sorted all year.
Experienced appraisers then started pricing over 3,000 pieces at Nye Cottage Beads, where donations are still coming in.

In the realm of history, a collection of maritime photographs taken by James Haron has been donated to the Lincoln County Historical Society. Haron made the decision to donate the photos just prior to his death July 29, 2008. Haron spent 35 years photographing Newport and Depoe Bay focusing on the ships and maritime activities of the area. He recorded ships entering the harbors alphabetically from the “Aallotar” to the “Zarembo II.” The collection, which includes thousands of photos, came in the form of albums and notebooks.

Quest' in Newport October 31, 1982. |
“These photos will help researchers now and in the future document the vessels and activities of our harbors,” Loretta Harrison, executive director of the Society, said. “James’ photos will be featured prominently at the new Pacific Maritime & Heritage Center when it opens on Newport’s Bayfront. We will seek a grant or other financial assistance to scan and catalog the photos in this amazing collection.”
For more information on the collection, contact Jodi Weeber, archivist for the Society, at 541-265-7509. The research library is open Tuesday through Thursday during museum hours and at other times by appointment.
The Oregon Coast History Center, which includes the Burrows House and Log Cabin museums, is located at 545 SW Ninth Street in Newport. The museums are free and open to the public Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
