Ellen Traylor, owner of Port Hole Books and Publishing, of Florence and Gardiner, has been elected to the Lane Arts Council Board as a regional representative between the coast and the valley. Traylor’s function will be to facilitate cooperation between the two arts communities, for the benefit of arts development, especially on the coast. Traylor, who grew up in Eugene, attending South Eugene High School and the U of O, has a long association with the area.  “I am thrilled to participate in my old hometown as an arts representative for the coast,” she says.
