Peninsula Arts Center
Cal Scott CD release concert
Award-winning songwriter Cal Scott performs CD release concert LONG BEACH, Wash. — Great American Song Contest Winner Cal Scott will present a concert to celebrate the release of his new CD, “Carved Wood Box,� at the Peninsula Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 20. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and admission is $12. The CD features 11 finely crafted songs filled with unforgettable characters, evocative images, humor, grace and catchy hooks. The concert will feature Scott on vocals, guitars, mandolin and harmonica and Chris Kokesh (www.chriskokesh .com) on vocals, guitar and
fiddle. “Carved Wood Box� was recorded in 2011 and 2012 in Portland, Nashville, Northern Ireland and Belgium. The idea for the CD came about during Scott’s tours with Irish fiddler Kevin Burke, with whom he records and performs. Scott regularly sings a couple of his original songs in their shows, and decided in 2011 that it was time to record a solo CD. The CD was completed over the next two years and features Scott on vocals, guitars, mandolin, cornet, piano and harmonica. One of the songs from the
CD, “Paid Too Much for the Diamond,� was named the first place winner in The Great American Song Contest 2012 in the Singer-Songwriter category. “Across the Black River,� a CD by Scott and Burke, was hailed as “one of the top 12 world music CDs of 2007� by the New York Times. Scott is also the musical director of The Trail Band, composes music for film and TV, and has scored more than 60 documentaries and specials for PBS, including three “Frontlines� and OPB’s “Oregon Experience.� For more informa-

Last Wednesday, the Astor Street Opry Company offered free admission to its dress rehearsal of “The Real Lewis and Clark Story (or How the Finns Discovered Astoria).” I decided to check out the 3-year-old community musical, which combines jokes and themes from the classic “Shanghaied in Astoria” with local history. Newcomers should expect many references to Astoria’s Scandinavian history, the discovery of the Columbia River, and the Lewis and Clark expedition – and for the musical to have lots of fun mashing it all together. (“Real Story” runs through May 4. For more info, check out Page 9.) Though some of the pacing and sound effects were a little off, (it was a dress rehearsal, after all), the characters and songs still made for an entertaining night. Alex Berg offers a noble-ifsomewhat-snooty, well-spoken Meriwether Lewis (really, what kind of name is Meriwether?), whose boasting over shoe buckles and friendship with President Thomas Jefferson are offset by the down-to-earth, politically
correct William Clark, played by Steven Nice. The two villains in the show (Crook, played by Bill Carr, and Sneake, played by Elsa Nethercot) have their nefarious laughs down pat, so be ready to boo, hiss and throw popcorn whenever the opportunity presents itself. (Carr didn’t seem fazed by the popcorn-throwing Wednesday night – he even caught some in his mouth). Two minor characters who received big laughs were the two Frenchmen with the Corps of Discovery, Francis Labiche,
played by Grace Ogren, and Peter Cruzatte, played by Brian Allen. Using exaggerated French accents and hilarious nasal laughs, the two offer a lively dash of comedy in the second and third acts. And, while the other characters worry about the lack of beer supplies, the Frenchmen carry around wine glasses on the expedition – a brilliant tongue-in-cheek detail that could be easy to miss. The show also pokes fun at our sometimes-miserable local weather. “Every dark cloud doesn’t mean it’s going to rain,” one
character says when they reach the Pacific Northwest. “Around here it does,” the other replies, sparking knowing laughs from the audience. All in all, “Real Story” is a community theater production that reflects our community’s shared history in a fun way.

Gold Fever
W
What is lazy, likes to hitchhike, is 19 times denser than water and can be found in abundance amid the black sand of Cape Disappointment’s Benson Beach? Would it surprise you to know the answer is gold? On an April afternoon when the wind is blowing the rain sideways, members of the Western Washington chapter of the Gold Prospectors Association of America are in search of their glittering quarry. According to Mark Green, who has been prospecting since he retired 10 years ago, Benson Beach is one of the best places in the Northwest to find gold. Green and Carolyn Crowson teach middle school children about gold mining. They describe the element in such a way that gives it a personality all its own: Too heavy and lazy to travel on its own steam, gold prefers to hitchhike on mud, quartz or clay. When it washes in on the Columbia’s currents, it likes to mix and mingle with black sand. “Wherever you see black sand, normally you’ll see gold, if there’s gold in the area,” Green says. Gold’s density is the key to its capture. The ’49-ers panning in California streams 164 years ago used the same principles modern miners use today. “The science is the same,” Crowson, who began prospecting with her grandfather as a child, says. “If you look at the way they did it in the 1800s versus the way they’re doing it now, the science is exactly the same.” In water, gold sinks while all other debris floats to the top. “It goes to the bottom of whatever you’re doing, and whatever you can do to make it stay there is the idea,” Dennis Schmidt says. Schmidt started searching for gold when he was a child in Montana. While equipment has evolved, become more elaborate and often expensive, it is still possible to prospect on the cheap. Jan Meritt uses an old sifter. “A buck fifty at Goodwill, and I’ve used it for 10 years,” she says. “A pan. You’ve gotta have a pan. The rest of it, it doesn’t matter. I’ve used a pie tin before.” Meritt saw the show “Gold Fever” on television and thought prospecting looked like fun. She’s been searching for gold for eight or nine 4 | April 18, 2013 | coastweekend.com
years. In all that time, she’s found less than two ounces. “You’re not going to get rich,” Green says. Schmidt agrees. “If you manage to find enough gold to pay for the gas it took to get you there, you did real well,” he laughs. Whether the find is small or large, it doesn’t seem to matter. Finding even one speck of gold is exciting. And by speck, “I mean small, you can almost not see it,” Green says, “but when you find that first speck, that first time, it’s unbelievable. Every time you find gold, you get tickled to death.” But it’s more than just finding gold. The sense
Cape Disappointment’s Benson Beach is one of the best places in the Northwest to find gold. of community and shared passion is the biggest treasure. “It’s all about the people you meet,” Schmidt says. “It’s mostly old, retired people doing it,” he laughs. “It gets you out, it gets you active. That’s the best thing about it. It keeps you active, keeps you young, you’re out doing something. You’re not sitting at home watching TV.” These prospectors also try to aid the earth when they’re searching for gold. They recycle the water they use, throw away trash they find, and help remove dangerous toxins from rivers when dredging for gold. “The old-timers were using mercury and all these other chemicals (to prospect),” Green says. “When we dredge, that gets caught in our machines, and we collect it, get the gold out of it, and then we take it to a Hazmat place.” “You never get tired of seeing gold. Never ever,” Schmidt says while the rain lashes, and the wind blows everything away that isn’t tied down. No one seems to notice. They’re too dedicated to their search. “You get gold fever, you’ve got it forever.”
From left: Dennis Schmidt has been prospecting since he was a kid in Montana; Carolyn Crowson and Mark Green have been prospecting together for about 10 years and teach middle school students about gold mining; and Jan Meritt often prospects for gold using a strainer she bought for $1.50 at Goodwill.
Want to try your hand at prospecting?
This bottle of gold was accumulated over several months by Dennis Schmidt, who prospects in multiple places, including Benson Beach.
You’ll first need to obtain a permit from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife or the Oregon Department of State Lands. Permits are free, but it is illegal to prospect without one. You can find more information here: http://wdfw.wa.gov/licensing/mining http://1.usa.gov/Ykw3Mn Also, consider joining a club. “Anyone getting into this needs to join a club so they can learn to do it right,” Green advises. Visit www.gold prospectors.org to find a club near you.
Mary Ann Thompson prospects for gold in the wind and rain at the edge of Benson Beach on the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula. She uses a gold cube concentrator, which uses water to separate gold from sand. Working on the principle that gold is 17 times heavier than most minerals, it forces gold to the bottom and separates out lighter material. The gold on Benson Beach is very fine, and black sand is almost as heavy as gold, so local gold prospectors use as much filtration as they can get.

Seaside Library Celebrate 100 years of library service SEASIDE — Join state librarian Mary Kay Dahlgren, the Friends of the Seaside Library and the community to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Seaside Library. The event will be held in conjunction with National Library Week from 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 20. Birthday cake and other refreshments will be served. The Seaside Library was born in the Dresser Building on Holladay Avenue in 1913. It ac-
tually housed the first public restrooms in town, as well as a small reading table area that soon became a room where people could read or check out materials. A matron ran the small library and she was also in charge of the public restrooms, thus providing two important services to the community. In 1935, the Seaside Public Library officially became part of the City of Seaside. The Seaside Library is lo-

THE ASTOR STREET OPRY COMPANY
presents
Real LEWIS CLARK
‘The
& H
Story
(or How the Finns Discovered Astoria)’
Having burst on the scene in Astoria’s bicentennial year of 2011, the production of “The Real Lewis and Clark Story (or How the Finns Discovered Astoria)” will be performed by the Astor Street Opera Company (ASOC) for the third consecutive year. You can catch the show at 7:30 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday, now until May 4 at the ASOC Playhouse, 129 W. Bond St. in Astoria. There will be two Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. on April 21 and 28. In trademark fashion, the wacko melodrama – an original work written by Judith Niland, who is also the play’s director – will be set in olden times and feature re-enactments, singing and dancing, plenty of goofy jokes and comedic cut-ups and, of course, some well-known figures from local history. Be forewarned, however, that the history presented here is more than a little cockeyed, mixing events and characters unabashedly. How this play came to be is a bit of a tall tale, but it’s not hard to get into the spirit of it. According to the folks at the ASOC, a historically invaluable pioneer journal was unearthed in Astoria’s Uniontown in 2001, chronicling the life of Tovo Swenson, an early Clatsop County settler. His was a story rife with adventure, hardships and fortunes won and lost. This prompted the company to put it on the stage. Apparently, the information contained in the journal lends credence to rumors that the Finns were here first! Playgoers will get the “real story” of how Astoria was first discovered by two Finnish boys from the old country (Minnesota that is) who, with the help of their mama and sisters, save the day. Along the way, you’ll meet such figures from history as Captain Bobby Gray, Miss Jaynie Barnes, the Svenson sisters, the brave Indian guide Sacagawea, the Corps of Discovery crew and a slew of other colorful characters. Expect a surprise here and there as well. Writer-director Niland has put everyone involved in the production through their paces at rehearsals. The commitment is colossal – long hours, lots to learn and so on – but so are the benefits. In talking with a few of the actors, it becomes clear that joining a community theater group, like this one anyway, makes for a whale of good time, fostering a very real sense of belonging and of working together toward a common goal. Opportunities abound as well for self-discovery and confidence-building. That certainly seems to have been the case for waif-like actress Grace Johnson who says, “This is my social life. All the friends I have are here. Plus I get to explore my abilities and new realms of character.” Hers is the role of Jaynie Barnes. “She’s a tough Irish gal who runs a pub. Still, she’s a sweetheart and very multi-faceted. She’s not afraid to pull out her guns,” the actress says. “I have my own song too. It’s called ‘You Never Knew a Gal Like Jaynie Lou.’” Johnson admits to struggling a bit with the Irish accent her part calls for, but she re-

Crook, played by Bill Carr, Meriwether Lewis, played by Alex Berg, William Clark, played by Steven Nice, Ole, played by Jason Hippert, and Sven, played by Jon Osbourn, take to the stage for the opening number.

mains confident in her audience appeal. “I love singing and musical theater. That’s how I draw ’em in,” she says with a grin. After she joined the ASOC a few years back, she became involved with her school’s drama program, getting every role she auditioned for. “At first, I didn’t think I could get up on stage. Now I don’t even get nervous. It’s second nature, you know.” Expect plenty of giggles and guffaws as “Real Story” unfolds. Comic Dave Bergquist was looking for a place to do stand up comedy when he came to the ASOC. He has since graced productions of both “Shanghaied in Astoria” and “Scrooged in Astoria.” In “Real Story,” he works an ongoing gag as Cadet Ranger Bob, who is the emcee but also remains in the audience vigilantly on the watch for any historical inaccuracies he spots on stage. According to Bergquist, “Bob’s somewhat offended that there are girls and beer-makers on this trip. When he consulted his ‘big book’ (more than 55 volumes at last count) there was absolutely nothing about any Ole and Sven being present.” Bergquist is the only cast member with the freedom to say whatever pops into his head. “I have a script and there’s basic information I need to get out, but I’m allowed to improvise, and I know how to do that,” he explains, His character may even interact with playgoers if he chooses. Lucky the audience that gets such a glimpse of the inner workings of Bergquist’s mind this way. ASOC actor Jason Hippert plays Ole, who is never without his friend Sven, played by Jon Osborn. They are the beer-makers and furnish much of the production’s slapstick humor. They’re also the butt of many not-sobright jokes. Says Hippert, “They meet some French guys who’re obviously thinking, ‘I don’t think these guys have both oars in the boat if you know what I mean.’ But everything goes over their heads.” The duo’s rendition of the song “Discovery Blues,”
accompanied by some game but ungainly dancing, is bound to be a highlight for audiences. Raves Hippert, “This is so much fun. So many ideas are kicked around. It’s awesome that the director lets you come up with comic bits, giving them a pass if they work for her. Nothing’s really difficult when we all work together.” Niland remains at the heart of this production (and the ASOC). She’s practically a walking institution after almost 30 years with the company. There’s hardly a job that she hasn’t done – writer, director, actor, managing director, costume designer, board president and vice president, publicity person and even a bit of custodial work way back when. “I don’t do lights,” she jokes. Niland’s knowledge of the theater’s many aspects, combined with her remarkable energy, impressive people skills and prodigious talent have helped shape the ASOC now and for years to come. So, don’t miss out: Treat yourself to a night of community theater that’s sure to entertain and is well worth supporting. ‘The Real Lewis and Clark Story (or How the Finns Discovered Astoria)’ shows at the ASOC Playhouse, 129 W. Bond St., Astoria. Tickets are $8 to $15 but only $5 every Friday. Discounts for children, seniors and groups are available. Performances are 7:30 p.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday now through May 4. Two Sunday matinees will be at 2 p.m. on April 21 and 28.

Columbia River Symphony
In Their Footsteps
Concerts capture essence of Egyptian empire
Learn about the history and impact of U.S. Forest Service creator
CHINNOK, Wash., and ASTORIA — The Columbia River Symphony presents two concerts based on the wonder of Egypt. The first concert will be 3 p.m. Saturday, April 20, inside the newly restored Chinook School Gymnasium, 810 U.S. Highway 101 in Chinook, Wash. The second concert will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 21 at the Astoria High School auditorium, 1001 W. Marine Drive, Astoria. Admission to each concert is $10. The proceeds from the Chinook concert will be split with the Friends of Chinook School to aid in the restoration of the old Chinook School for use as a new community center. Children 12 and younger are admitted free if accompanied by an adult. Westerners have been fascinated with the pyramids and monuments of Egypt since the time they were built. The French were among the first to compose musical works that were inspired by Egypt. However, these composers did not attempt to recreate the music of early Egypt or focus on history. Instead, they strove to capture the mystique of Egypt expressing their own impressions. The sounds of this
ASTORIA — Author Joseph Blanco will present a multimedia story of America’s first forester, Gifford Pinchot, as the next program in the “In Their Footsteps” free speaker series event at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop. The program takes place at 1 p.m. Sunday, April 21, in the Netul River Room of Fort Clatsop’s visitor center. Through the use of historic photographs and audio and video clips, Blanco will trace Pinchot’s beginnings as a conservationist and his impact throughout the 20th century and into the present.

pieces dedicated to capturing the essence of the Egyptian empire. The symphony will begin with a five-movement work by composer Norman Tailor titled “The Mysteries of Egypt.” This selection speaks of the Valley of the Kings, as well as the architectural wonders of the pyramids. Midway through the Egyptian adventure, the four-sided structure tells of the pyramids’ symbolism as tombs, along with the ruler, King Tutankhamun, and concludes with a story of Queen Cleopatra dying at the hands of the Legend of the Cobra. Other performances will include Giuseppe Verdi’s “Grand March,” Nicholas Baratta’s “Echoes of Egypt,” and Stephen Schwartz’s “The Prince of Egypt,” which will include a medley of “Deliver Us,” “Through Heaven’s Eyes” and “When You Believe.” The Columbia River Sym-

t’s that time of year again: Temperatures rise and fall through a string of fickle forecasts – balmy one minute, frigid the next; plans for long-awaited barbecues begrudgingly morph back into fireside chats; tulips and daffodils trumpet up through rain-soaked fields, lifting cupped faces for a kiss of sun, only to taste the slap of wind-driven hail as weather patterns collide on a tumultuous course toward change. But just when it seems that winter’s chill will surely win, stormy skies part briefly, making way for sunstreaked paths of afternoon blue – and deep in the heart of every coastal gardener, there is absolutely no more room for doubt: With all its usual drama, spring has finally arrived. “It’s always that first sunny day that falls on a weekend that really gets everybody fired up,” says Deborah Fry, part-time clerk and full-time “happy gardener” at Dennis’ 7 Dees Landscaping and Garden Center in Seaside. “The rains just slightly lift,” she

lithodora, forget-me-nots, lobelia, ceanothus, borage and comfrey are all good choices.” If you’re short on space, or simply not quite up to the plow, container gardening is the perfect solution, and at the aptly named Basket Case Greenhouse (Long Beach, Wash.) there’s enough “stuffing” for every bushel on the beach. With 12 years in the business, owners Fred and Nancy Aust are now famous for their hanging baskets, which flow with enough cascading flowers and variegated foliage to see you through all the months of summer and well into fall. This year, Nancy, who tends and trains “the babies” and new arrivals in their working greenhouses while Fred “plays up front with the people,” recommends Gulliver Blue Sensation bacopa, a profuse trailer, with copious gobs of showy periwinkle flowers and the newest Lemon Slice calibrachoa, a cheerful, pinwheel blossom of yellow and white, which doesn’t require dead-heading and “won’t wilt badly with the rain.” Sally Lobdell, local resident and container-garden enthusiast extraordinaire, says, “I buy all my plants here. Fred and Nancy are such wonderful people with great advice, and they always have that special something that I can’t find anywhere else.” Not surprisingly, for the proprietors of independent nurseries along our coast, such “special somethings” seem to be the order of the day. Now entering the second season in their relocated storefront and garden grounds in Gearhart, itsy-bitsy Back Alley Gardens (in partnership with the Natural Nook flower shop) is the perfect example of how really good things come in surprisingly small packages. Though by far the most petite nursery of the bunch, don’t be misled: Premier local landscaper and coowner Pam Fleming (with the help of Prissy “the propagator” Martin) really knows how to fill out a space – and not with just your average azaleas. Under her experienced care, rhododendrons show off furry butterscotch under-leaves, and ornamental Kent Beauty oregano, with its decorative crimson pods, spends time with Jerusalem sage and meadow rue. “We love to search out those hard-to-find favorites, and we carry things you can’t find everywhere,” she says wholeheartedly. “If it’s something that excites us, or that we know will do well in this region, we’re thrilled to bring it in, and we’ll drive the extra distance to pick up unique things from small growers.” Lucky for us, that’s just the sort of thing we’ve come to expect. So whether you’re in search of a little inspiration, looking to plant-out an orchard, or just needing to deliver that colorful touch of curb appeal, this season, beat the grand rush of May and treat yourself now to a pleasant stroll through any one (better yet, all) of these local gems. The tempestuous start of spring might still be underway, but step inside a local nursery, and the whole world seems brimming with flora from top to bottom. More importantly, you’re sure to find them beautifully stocked with all the local knowledge, free advice, superb service and personal touches so consistently delivered by the friendly men and women who are the horticultural experts that keep them thriving – the truest perennials of every coastal garden.

SEAFOOD MARKET & CAFE
The legend of the Ark Restaurant lives on in a cozy setting synonymous with oustanding, hand-crafted cuisine
O
On the evening I visited Jimella and Nanci’s Seafood Market & Café in Ocean Park, Wash., and watched Nanci gracefully pouring wine and Jimella jovially greeting guests like they were old friends, I pondered briefly what it might be like to be famous. Nanci Main and Jimella Lucas, longtime owners of the nationally renowned Ark Restaurant, are nothing short of famous. Peninsula legends, to be sure, their names have become synonymous with outstanding, hand-crafted, creative cuisine. In fact, if you find yourself on the Long Beach Peninsula, all you really have to say is “Nanci” or “Jimella” and people instantly know to whom you’re referring. They’re like the culinary versions of Cher or Madonna. The small restaurant, maybe only 10 tables or so, is instantly endearing. Brightly colored tablecloths, twinkling, white lights, and a warm spirit pervade the cozy space, and the sound of diners laughing and “mmm-ing” is extraordinarily welcoming. On this particular evening we were seated right away, and our server was truly fantastic, extraordinarily knowledgeable about the menu and even offered suggestions for wine pairings for each dish. We began our enjoyable evening with Julie’s Caesar salad with traditional hearts of romaine, Caesar dressing, toasted croutons and lovely shavings of Pecorino Romano cheese. I find that Caesar dressing, by and large, is becoming thicker and more similar in taste and consistency to ranch dressing, so I was remarkably pleased that the dressing featured here is delicate and thin, with a pleasing tang of vinegar and citrus, the perfect accompaniment for the assertive Pecorino.

Delivered next was the Market clam chowder – according to the menu, the same recipe as the one made famous at the Ark Restaurant for two decades – and it did not disappoint. A hearty portion of razor clams swam in the pleasantly spiced cream. When I eat out, I am in the habit of playing “flavor detective” with each dish, tasting thoughtfully and trying to perceive what ingredients have been used. The marriage of flavors in this clam chowder is so seamless that it is impossible to separate one taste from another, and the harmony of it is simple and brilliant simultaneously. I sampled next the Willapa Bay oyster stew, featuring oysters poached in butter, shallots, cream and sherry. I found it a surprising dish, actually, and I think it’s important to point out that it is a “stew” and not a chowder: more brothy than
creamy and allowing the flavor of the oysters to take the driver’s seat. While I preferred the clam chowder, the oyster stew is still quite good and will please oyster lovers. For my first entrée, I selected a New York steak topped with bleu cheese butter, served with gratin potatoes and crispy onions. The steak was cooked to a perfect “medium” doneness: pink in the center, but with a nearly crisp, boldly flavorful exterior. I particularly appreciated having gratin potatoes as opposed to mashed potatoes as is often the case, and the creamy, cheesy flavor married well with the hearty steak. A second entrée of crab and shrimp macaroni and cheese, with a sharp cheddar sauce and crisp bread crumbs on top, was sinfully delicious – comfort food on overdrive. It was so rich and de-

The tartness of cranberry and tangy citrus of Grand Marnier melts beautifully into the sweet, dense cream, and I ate it down to the last, lovely spoonful. On the way out, I spent some time in the adjoining market, where they sell artisanal breads, high-end condiments, a thrilling selection of wine and beer, and other “foodie” items that are otherwise hard to find. On the whole, it was one of the most enjoyable evenings out I can recall in a long while, and I am glad to know that the legend of the Ark continues to live on in a cozy, refreshing setting.
SERVICE: Exceptional, knowledgeable, friendly and prompt. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Apart from salads, there are no other vegetarian options on the menu. An inclusion of a few dishes for alternative diets would be a nice addition. DRINKS:Traditional soft drinks, coffee and tea are featured, along with an impressive and noteworthy list of wines and beers.

Author Jim Lynch to read from latest novel Clatsop CASA celebrates for a good cause MANZANITA — Best-selling author Jim Lynch will read from his latest book, “Truth Like the Sun,” at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave., at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 20. Described as a classic and hugely entertaining political novel, “Truth Like the Sun” is the cat-and-mouse story of urban intrigue in Seattle both in 1962, when Seattle hosted the World's Fair, and in 2001, after its transformation in the Microsoft gold rush. The New York Times has called Lynch "a gifted and original novelist." He is the author of three novels set in Western Washington. His first novel, “The Highest Tide” (2005), won the Pacific Northwest Bookseller Award, was performed on stage in Seattle and became an international bestseller. His second novel, “Border Songs” (2009), was also adapted to the stage and won the Washington State Book Award as well as the Indie's Choice Honor Book Award. The film rights have been sold for “The Highest Tide” and TV rights for “Border Songs.” Following Lynch’s reading

Nature Matters How native cultures used local trees ASTORIA — Take a look around the North Coast and you’ll see forests of green. Upon a closer look, you will notice varied species, ages, sizes and colors. The Native Americans of the Columbia-Pacific region depended on this diversity of trees to enrich their celebrations as well as support their lives. Artist and teacher Jim Bergeron present woodworking traditions of Northwest Native Americans for the next installment of Nature Matters. Bergeron will demonstrate traditional
carving techniques and provide examples of his hand-tooled art, boxes and tools. He will discuss how a large variety of Northwest trees were used for important events and ceremonies. Bergeron’s presentation will be at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 18 at the Fort George Brewery and Public House in Astoria. This event is free and open to the public, and will take place in Fort George’s Lovell Showroom. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for those wanting to purchase dinner or beverages before the event.

Astoria Co-op Healthy kids and Earth Day go hand in hand ASTORIA — Children can be picky when it comes to trying new foods or eating veggies. So the Astoria Co-op is hosting an event to turn kids on to more healthy foods 3 to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 21. There will be free kid-geared food samples and activities. Outside the store, kids can learn how veggies grow by planting seeds, and they can take a plant start home. Inside, there will be a food-related art activity, snacks and experts to talk to parents and kids about healthy eating ideas. There will be an informational brochure with recipes and school lunch ideas to take home. “As a mom, some of my happiest moments are when I see my kids eating fresh fruits and
veggies, which is challenging, so I’m always excited to get new ideas. I will be working with a co-op board member, Allie Evans, who is a mom and naturopath, as well as, Miki’ala Souza from Oregon State University Extension’s Food & Nutrition department to develop this event,” Co-op Outreach Director Zetty Nemlowill said. To further promote healthy eating in the next generation, the Co-op now has a basket of apples, bananas and carrots available in the produce department. Kids may choose one of these goodies on each shopping trip at no cost. The Astoria Co-op is located at 1355 Exchange St. For more information, call 503-325-4568.
Cedar, alder, cascara, yew, maple, yellow cedar, crab apple, hemlock, spruce and vine maple were and are still common around the North Coast. Historically, they were crafted into masks, bowls, paddles, fishing gear, decorative boxes, utensils, canoes and houses. Tree type and age determined what would be crafted from it. Unlike today, the entire tree would often be used, including its roots and bark. Bergeron is a longtime Clatsop County resident and retired extension agent, commercial fisherman, and oceanography teacher who has spent decades
learning Native American carving techniques from Kodiak, Alaska to Portland. During the winter of 2003 he finished a number of pieces in the Chinook style for the Clatsop County Historical Society. Nature Matters, a conversation about the intersection of nature and culture, takes place on the third Thursday of the month through spring. The series is hosted by Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, North Coast Land Conservancy and the North Coast Watershed Association in partnership with Fort George.

North Head Lighthouse Submissions s for art auction ILWACO, Wash. — The Keepers of the North Head Lighthouse, a group dedicated to saving the North Head Lighthouse from further decay, is soliciting donations from local artists for an art auction in conjunction with the 115th birthday party for the lighthouse, which will take place June 8 at the lighthouse keeper’s grounds. Art depicting the lighthouse is especially desired and can include photography, fine art and 3-D pieces. The Keepers organization is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit group and is focused on funding the
restoration efforts at the lighthouse. Since the Washington State Parks system now owns the lighthouse, restoration efforts can be emphasized, and, as most grants ask for matching funds, it is imperative that the group raise as much capital as it can. The restoration is estimated to cost around $2 million. If you wish to donate art to the event, deliver it to The Picture Attic at 711 Pacific North in Long Beach, Wash., or call 360642-4770 or 360-642-2295 to arrange for pickup.

Coaster Theatre Blackstone Edge Band brings the world to Cannon Beach CANNON BEACH — From the craggy moors of Britain comes the Blackstone Edge Band, featuring vocalist Philip ClaytonThompson, musical director Dave Fleschner and several of Portland’s top musicians, including Eric Schrepel of Y La Bamba. Blackstone Edge Band will appear at the Coaster Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 27, offering a chance to experience an evening filled with music, song and film clips that evoke a simpler time. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased in advance by calling the Coaster Theatre box office at 503-436-1242. Clayton-Thompson began singing as a young lad for sixpence in seedy pubs in the North of England, then he graduated to workingmen’s clubs for a few
KALA
Americana roots meets acoustic soul ASTORIA — Two bands from Wyoming will combine their original and infectious sounds Saturday, April 20, at KALA. Seader Rose and Aaron Davis are Screen Door Porch, a dynamic duo for whom the past year of 2012 has been fruitful and inspiring. Opportunities to share concert bills with Americana darlings Justin Townes Earle, Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit, Steve Earle, The Band of Heathens and others have elevated the stage scene for this up and coming Americana roots/country blues band. Multi-instrumentalists and dual vocalists, Rose and Davis have garnered support across the boards for their sophomore release, “The Fate & the Fruit.” The album was recognized in seven “Best Albums of the Year” lists including American Roots

Curtis Salgado. This time, Clayton-Thompson went upscale – performing popular songs in Portland's Vie de Boheme, a French wine bar; Portland's popular Adina Restaurant; and more. Unlike The Beatles, who sang “Bésame Mucho” in English for their audition with Decca Records, Clayton-Thompson, the lad from Lancashire, sings it in Spanish, along with “La Mer” in French, Sting’s “Fields of Gold,” and “Bring Him Home” from Les Misérables.

quid. He shared a dressing room with The Beatles at the Queen’s Theatre Blackpool. He became a filmmaker and worked in Hollywood. He also studied photography and opera. ClaytonThompson co-owns a boutique
ad agency named “Blackstone Edge.” Then he went full circle and started gigging again. ClaytonThompson formed Blackstone Edge Band with Fleschner, who spent 10 years on the road with
UK Editor’s Top 25 and NPR’s Best of Wyoming. The album also climbed to No. 16 on the Roots Music Report Folk Chart. Maverick Magazine was the first publication among many to make the connection that “Rose’s vocals have the gorgeous drawl of Lucinda Williams, while Davis sounds like Whiskeytown-era Ryan Adams.” On their “Northwest Conquest Tour,” Screen Door Porch teams up with Ben Musser of Benyaro, one part of the infectious acoustic soul duo that has graced Astoria more than once at the Voodoo Room. KALA welcomes these musicians that all hail from Jackson Hole, Wyo., and have won the hearts of their own state as well as fans across the states, and from top roots festivals to radio stations and music critics at large. Riding on the success of “The Cover EP,” with delicious and fevered renditions of Sam Cooke, Etta James and even Moby tunes, Benyaro’s treatment of acoustic soul is refresh-

ing – reverberating a hootenanny sound of the ‘60s. It’s hard to pin Benyaro down, though – because they play so authentically and energetically, you may hear many a likeness to favored artist sounds within their performances. Musser’s vocals have been compared to David Bowie, and original Benyaro tunes are said to echo the rock/pop style of vintage 3 Dog Night. On this tour, both bands will present their repertoires and cre-
ate a roots music power trio. Expect great harmonies, harmonicas, kick drums and a plethora of string instruments, three great solo voices and everything from a Motown feel to a funky cowboy song. The evening at KALA (1017 Marine Drive) offers cabaret seating, front stage dance space and a no-host bar. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. for socializing and light fare. The music starts after 8:30 and cover charge is $5.

Five Minutes With... KIMBERLY REED Born and raised: I was born in Chico, Calif., and raised in Northern California. Lives now: I live in Astoria and have lived here for three years. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your art? Acrylic on canvas, heavy body acrylic on canvas, oil on canvas and mixed media paintings. I have a website (kimberlyreedartist.com) and am currently showing my work at Tempo Gallery. Describe your artistic style My style is abstract, yet recognizable. My pieces are often heavily (and purposely worked) with many layers and a lot of texture with nontraditional colors, strong palette knife marks and broad brush strokes. You're a self-taught painter. Is that ever challenging, or do you find it freeing? Being self-taught is definitely freeing – I paint by instinct. A painting has to look “right,” meaning certain aspects have to work, but I don't feel bound by any particular rules. How did you decide to become an artist? It was during my practicum (for elementary education). I was not passionate enough about teaching, and I had been drawn to painting since I was little, so I walked away from teaching and started painting. What do you do when you're not painting? You will find me walking at
Kimberly Reed. – SUBMITTED PHOTO the beach with my dog and my two boys (9 and 11 years old). I spend a fair amount of time in my studio working in my art journal or working on Project Life. What was your last dream? My last dream was about being thirsty and wanting nothing more than an ice cold glass of water! If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be? This is such a tough question – so many people to choose from. Claude Monet, Mother Teresa, George Bush, Hilary Clinton ... I think talking with any one of these four would be a completely captivating experience! In your opinion, what makes Astoria special? Astoria is special because of the incredible sense of community here, and also, the physical beauty (I am blown away by this on a daily basis). The first time I came to Astoria, I knew, within 10 minutes, that this is where I would live.
