Ashely Murphy, of Shreveport, Louisiana, was accepted into the DTH Company in 2003 and toured with them throughout the United States, Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Greece.
This multi-cultural ballet theater brings its neoclassical technique to Astoria for the first time
“
“Using arts to ignite the mind.” That’s the philosophy of the Dance Theatre of Harlem. The New York City-based school has been introducing youth to dance, and the DTH Ensemble has been inspiring audiences at schools, colleges and festivals with their lecture-demonstrations for decades. The famous touring company, however, was brought to a close in 2004. Happily, the dance theater began touring again in 2013. It has been three decades since they performed in Oregon, and this Saturday, $pril 2 , they will appear for the ¿rst time in $storia, at the Liberty Theater. The original touring company grew to 44 dancers and two semi trucks full of costumes and props; the result was over $2,000,000 in debt. The new company is 18 dancers and they now travel by airplane. Their costumes suggest

that much material has been eliminated to save on overweight baggage expenses. “We’ll never be 44 dancers again,” says Virginia Johnson, founding member and current artistic director. “The world has changed, but I don’t need a spectacle. I need to be exquisite and life-changing.” Dance Theatre of Harlem was founded by two accomplished artists: dancer Arthur Mitchell and Washington-born choreographer and ballet teacher Karel Shook. In 1955 Mitchell was selected by *eorge %alanchine to be the ¿rst African American dancer with the New York City Ballet. The next year he was the company’s principal dancer, performing in all its major ballets. Although he danced with white partners throughout the world, he could not perform on American television until1965.
Mitchell had grown up on the streets and in the gangs of Harlem, his father in jail, but he was helped by a guidance counselor who encouraged him to apply to the High School of Performing Arts. After the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., Mitchell returned, determined to provide opportunities for other children to experience dance. It was a dif¿cult time to create a dance school in the inner city. Memories of riots were fresh, and police and military repression was always in the background. It required the same sort of miracle that brought Mitchell to prominence as a dancer. Mitchell and Karel, who had been his teacher, began in a garage with $25,000 of Mitchell’s own money. A year later he received $350,000 in matching funds from the Ford Foundation. In 1971 the professional company made its debut at the Guggenheim Museum and later collaborated with the New York City Ballet. Dance Theatre of Harlem was on its way. The company went on to perform around the world to sold-out performances and rave reviews, all the time maintaining the dance school in Harlem, which each year serves over a thousand children from all over the country. It has matured into a multi-cultural institution
of dance and allied theater arts, without losing the incredible energy and verve for which it has always been known. And now they have arrived in Astoria, Oregon. The DTH repertory springs from neoclassical technique, which enables artists to dance in a variety of styles. While the program varies, you will likely see works like “New Bach,” choreographed by Robert Garland, who has also choreographed for the New York City Ballet and the Royal Ballet. Christopher Huggins, formerly of the Alvin Alley Company, has choreographed “In the Mirror of the Mind.” The high point of the evening may be “Dancing on the Front Porch of Heaven (Odes to Love and Loss),” choreographed by Ulysses Dove for the Royal Swedish Ballet in 1993. Dove, who died of AIDS-related disease three years later, had recently lost 13 close friends and relatives, including his father. Of his work Dove said, “I want to tell an experience in movement, a story without words, and create a poetic monument over people I loved.” The dance is set to Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s “Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten.” “Ballet is a complex and beautiful human endeavor, the experience of which can change lives,” says Virginia Johnson. “Ballet does have a color. It is the rich color of humanity. That’s what Dance Theatre of Harlem is about — opening minds to what is possible.” Saturday will be a night to remember.

Coast area. In many species, the male worker bees die each season and only the queen overwinters. Some native bees are miners and nest in the ground, like bumblebees. Some are carpenters and nest in wood, like mason bees. There are even cuckoo bees that lay eggs in other bee species’ nests. Freilich ended his talk with awesome black and white 3D images of bees, close-up under the microscope. Wearing their classic red-and-blue-lensed 3D glasses, audience members appreciatively oohed and ahhed. “It’s not in the cards to learn all these bees. It’s not going to happen,� Freilich said.

Chica y Los Gatos brings twin sister harmonies to Sou’Wester Lodge SEAVIEW, Wash. — Singer/ songwriter project Chica y Los Gatos will play at Sou’Wester Lodge at 8 p.m. Saturday, April 25. The concert is free and open to the public. Portland-based Chica y Los Gatos breaks free from traditional pop song structures with frolicsome guitar progressions and intricate melodies. Yet, somehow, amid the adventurous twists and turns, singer and songwriter guitarist Renée Muzquiz still manages to weave in hooks, turning around the choruses just when the verses seem to have sauntered daringly off-course. Chica y Los Gatos has performed at numerous venues around Portland, Muzquiz’ hometown of Dallas, Texas, and festivals such as Eugene Pride and the Santa Cruz Dyke March. Curve Magazine has compared her voice to Joni
Mitchell and Tori Amos and urged its readers to “keep an ear out for this one.” Twin sister and multi-instrumentalist Rochelle Muzquiz will be accompanying these colorful and theatrical originals as well as adding in a few of her own songs.
Chica y Los Gatos’ sophomore album “The Clearing” is out now and available at www. chicaylosgatos.bandcamp.com For more information, call 360-642-2542 or visit www.souwesterlodge.com. Sou’Wester Lodge is located at 3728 J Place.

A crowning achievement
S
Sage Park, 12, surpasses grandfather, heads to state chess championship
Sage Park played her first chess match at the age of 4, losing to her grandfather. The game fired her imagination, and this weekend, eight years later, Sage will square off against some of the best young chess players in Oregon, at the Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation State Championship, held since 2008 in Seaside, her hometown. Over 300 K-12 students from all over Oregon will compete for the chance to go on to the National Championship Tournament. Sage will be the second Clatsop County student, and the first female, as well as the first from Seaside to qualify for the state tourney. A tall 12 year old with blue eyes and a quick smile, Sage does not fit the stereotype of the young chess geek. But when she places her tournament board and pieces on the table, sets the competition clock and looks you in the eye, she is all business. You realize that you are in the presence of someone special. Eddie Park has continued to provide practice for his granddaughter — and incentive as well. When she was 8, Sage fell in love with a “fairy” chess set. Her grandfather told her he would buy it for her as soon as she could beat him. Two years later she had her chess set. “Now I usually beat my grandfather,” she says. He smiles. “I haven’t won a game in a long time.” Her grandfather hasn’t been Sage’s only teacher. Seth Goldstein, a Cannon Beach chiropractor and self-described “low level master” spends an hour each week with her. “We’ve gone through a couple of books,” his student says. “We’re working on openings, winning strategies and the endgame.” Sage Park doesn’t play only to win. “It’s fun to play,” she says.” I like to strategize, and I like that the board is always set up the same way, but I get to do a lot of different things.” Today, chess isn’t as difficult for Sage as when she first started and, “had to memorize a lot of things.” Now her chief problem is that which faces every chess player:

The competition The Oregon Scholastic Chess Federation State Championship takes place Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25 at the Seaside Convention Center. Before the main event on Saturday, the participants get a chance to unwind with blitz and bughouse tournaments late Friday afternoon. Saturday morning, players are divided into 16 different playing sections defined by age and skill level to compete for large trophy cups filled with salt-water taffy made in Seaside. “keeping track of all the pieces and keeping them protected.” To be eligible for the state championship Sage has played in six qualifying tournaments, all held in Portland; she has enough games under her belt to have established a respectable rating for a beginner. “You start with a 400,” Sage explains, “then every time you play your rating goes up or down, depending on if you win or lose, and on how good your opponent is.” The highest classic chess rating ever attained is 2863, by the current world champion, Magnus Carlsen. About her tournament experience she says, “Those kids in Portland are so good. Their whole lives are chess. They play on-
line between games.” “They eat, sleep and dream chess,” her grandfather adds. Sage Park’s accomplishments are all the more remarkable because there isn’t much of a culture of chess in Clatsop County, and no local tournaments, a handicap for would-be chess masters. That may be changing, though. Eddie Park will soon qualify as a tournament director, which means that qualifying tournaments can be held in Clatsop County. He hopes that parents will, “recognize the real value of chess for their children as a gymnasium of the mind,” he says. “Studies support the value of chess in the academic efforts of every age group, and what

better place than the developing mind of a child?” He knows that the two-hour chess games he plays with his granddaughter have, “contributed to Sage’s ability to stay focused on a project.” At this time there are only two informal student chess clubs near the Parks’ home, at Gearhart Elementary (with teacher/ coach Dan King) and Broadway Middle School (with coach and retired Cannon Beach Chief of Police David Rouse). The Parks want to increase local awareness of chess and increase the number of students playing the game. Chess clubs at more Clatsop County schools would make a big difference. Sage Park’s first-time participation in the state tournament may start other students thinking about chess. This could be the start of something big. For information on student chess clubs and tournaments contact Eddie Park at epark9@gmail.com

A light brunch with champagne mimosas will be offered. After extensive exploration of the Olympic Peninsula and Northwest Oregon, Munsell’s new work demonstrates stunning scenes of tree-topped sea stacks, hidden coves and sunset skies. He has traveled throughout the world gathering insights, taking photographs and creating pencil sketches along the Pacific coast that give him inspiration for new work later in his studio. His work offers up a sense of the endurance these monuments withstand against the relentless Pacific Ocean. One can only stop awhile, reflect and take in

the grandeur of these places of breathtaking strength and peace. “There is a design to the world and cosmos around us. There are lessons in everything created,” stated Munsell. About Munsell’s work, art critic William Havlicek wrote, “Munsell uses nuances of light to create transcendent evocations … the subjects of the work as are the peaks, rivers and strong pines … he seeks to convey the timeless and lasting ef-
fects of creation.” Munsell’s fine art work has been exhibited at the Laguna Festival of the Arts, a sought-after juried show. His work is exhibited in selected galleries throughout the United States including a one-man show at the World Art Gallery in Orange County, California.

Seaside library hosts award-winning author Peter Laufer
SEASIDE — On Thursday, April 23, the Friends of the Seaside Library will welcome Peter Laufer, award winning author of “Organic: A Journalist’s Quest to Discover the Truth Behind Food Labeling.” The event will take place at 7 p.m., in the Community Room at the library, and there will be book sales and signings presented by Beach Books. Part food narrative, part investigation, part adventure story, “Organic” is an eye-opening and entertaining look into the organic label. It is also a wakeup call about the dubious origin of food labeled organic. After eating some suspect organic walnuts that supposedly were produced in Kazakhstan, veteran journalist Peter Laufer chooses a few items from his home pantry and traces their origins back to their source.

While the festival is lots of work, it’s also worth it, according to clowns like Landwehr. “It’ll take 10 or 12 of us guys to work it on Saturday — that’s the big day—but it’s lots of fun and for a good cause, so we enjoy it every year.â€? The money raised from sales pays for the Clown’s year-round participation in parades, funds four Clatsop Community College scholarships, covers an annual donation to the Boy Scouts, and helps stock food baskets in December. The Clowns won’t be the only ones working hard all weekend to drum up cash for worthwhile causes. The Astoria Rotary Club — a charter Crab Fest vendor — will once again be offering half and full Dungeness crab dinners, replete with bread and homemade coleslaw, for what always seems like a bargain. “We get our crab locally from Bornstein Seafoods,â€? says Mitch Mitchum, the club’s community service chair, “and this year we’ll start off with 800 pounds and buy more over the weekend if we need it. The price of crab is up by about 35 percent over last year, so that makes it challenging, but we’ll still try to offer the best deal we can. We’re also hoping to have Whiskey Crab Soup again this year — an old Bornstein family recipe, which will be great. It always sells out.â€? Like the Astoria Clowns, Mitchum says the funds raised will secure the club’s scholarship program, as well as support a few other charitable events throughout the year. About the festival, he adds, “It takes about 40 Rotarians to pull it off, and we’ll be happy to be there again this year. It’s good exposure, it’s service based, it’s fun, and you get to see a lot of friends. After all these years, it feels like home.â€? That’s not news to Balensifer, who says she hears similar sentiments throughout the community. “I think most people consider the festival a very authentic celebration, a time during the off season‌when we can really welcome visitors and showcase the amazing bounty of our own region and the entire Northwest.â€? Returning this year are some repeat festival fa-

I think that’s incredible.â€? Asked what she was most looking forward to at this year’s Crab Fest, Balensifer was quick to answer, illustrating nicely the heart of service that permeates the whole event: “For me, it’s the little moments when you get to help someone have a really great experience — that’s ultimately what I love about my job. That, and just getting to share this wonderful location.â€?

Astoria Visual Arts to yarn bomb Astoria ASTORIA — Astoria Visual Arts is sponsoring the installation of the second annual Astoria Yarn Bomb. The yarn bomb will take place June 19, 20 and 21. Installation will start June 19 in the morning at Astoria Visual Arts and should be finished by Sunday afternoon. Yarn bombing — also known as yarn storming, guerrilla knitting, urban knitting or graffiti knitting — is a type of graffiti or street art in which colorful displays of knitted or crocheted yarn is used to cover ordinary outdoor objects, such as trees, utility poles, fences, doors, etc. Astoria Visual Arts invites knitters, crocheters and others to participate. Knitting groups are invited to consider choosing a spot of downtown Astoria to adopt. The best yarns to use are
cheap synthetic yarns, such as Red Heart. The fiber arts academy has donated yarn available to work on projects, and yarn donations are gladly accepted; drop them off at 1296 Duane St. The academy is open between noon and 4 p.m. on weekends. In particular, organizers seek: • Small items to be staged on larger backgrounds. The larger background pieces will be set up June 19 and begging for landscape. • Volunteers to begin putting up backgrounds on June 19. • Themed items like flowers for spring and summer or nautical items such as fish, coral, etc. Organizers are also looking for flotsam and jetsam for a net yarn bomb set up. “I kept as much as I could

503-325-5598 or email AstoriaYarnBomb@gmail.com The yarn bomb will stay up for one month on public places. Items on private places, such as store fronts, can stay up until the owner asks for them to be removed.

Buoy Beer Company, Astoria, Oregon. Here, one of the West’s most relentless rivers meets the wilderness of an entire ocean. The unstoppable meets the unyielding. And here, a community with grit and backbone make that meeting work. The river that built a town is home for building this beer. A place where hard work and hustle matter; where the local color has seen a little weather; where the newest generation wasn’t born yesterday. This is beer with history to it — a story to unfold, a tale to be told. Brewed from this confluence of pride and place. New beer, with a few centuries under its belt. Beer you can savor and share. Made of a few pure ingredients and a whole lot of local flavor. Just like the town it comes from. — Beers up!

Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House
The beer-battered halibut fish and chips are a tasty, substantial meal, but so is the $20 price tag.
Enhanced pub food in a hardware store? It’s not a gimmick, just dual-purpose
S
Someone on their way to the “Hardware Storeâ€? in Cannon Beach is just as likely in need of a burger and fries as they are a hammer and nails. Nicknamed the “Screw and Brew,â€? Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House tends to both the handyman’s tastebuds as well as his toolbox. It began as a plain old hardware store. After the adjacent space became available walls were knocked down and the pub was erected. Now one can peer from just about any vantage into the tightly packed aisles of the hardware store itself. Underscoring the dual-purpose, staff are shared. Looking for a Gorilla Glue? Need a key duplicated? Ask a waitress. And while the hardware section may hew to the more humble of home-improvement projects, the menu caters to those hungry enough to eat a house.

As a lover — and collector — of hot sauce, it is a true testament to the Hardware Store’s cocktail and tartar that, when afforded with the opportunity to dabble in their vast, 20-some-bottle selection, I opted to stick with the house concoctions.

Bart Budwig, Matt Zeltzer play the Fort Ales & Ideas examines allure of travel, art
Americana folk songs on tap Sunday from two songwriters CCC Art Instructor Kristin Shauck talks ‘Paris, Florence, Rome’ ASTORIA — Americana songwriters Bart Budwig and Matt Zeltzer will bring their folk tunes to the upstairs stage at the Fort George Brewery at 8 p.m. Sunday, April 26. The brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. All ages are welcome. Budwig grew up on the Idaho Palouse, with a pawn shop trumpet and a heart as big as a skyscraper — if skyscrapers knew how to be humble. He learned melody from classic jazz charts and learned that fault-lines in big hearts create drifting continents, cut new oceans and forge new mountains. Everyone close to him disappeared, whether to death or Texas, and from Texas he got a letter from Waylon Jennings entreating him to pick up a guitar and a pen. Budwig doesn’t write the big songs.

Vegas is an adult Disneyland perched on stiletto heels. And secondly, Las Vegas represents a perpetual party pleasure playground with lots of superb food and world-class entertainment. And on a prominent billboard, an advertisement that states that a budding marksman can pay to shoot a fully automatic MP-5. And all this with free hotel pickup up, only $29. Now, that’s an alternative experience! In Sin City’s attempt to cater to all tastes, I hasten to think that, as a city, Las Vegas is bipolar. Speaking of guns, all the big ones are here. Vegas is the Mecca of Emeril Lagase (though he apparently lost his timeshare), Wolfgang Puck, Gordon Ramsey, Bobby Flay (Bobby Flay Burger Las Vegas — both yummy and cheap), Thomas Keller (Bouchon), and last but not least, the 35-year mainstay Andre Rochat. Plus a riveting array of lesser-known culinary talent offered to you in every price range and imaginable distinction. We ate an exquisite meal at Sensi. It was

And simple things like a ripe Japanese tomato or fresh crisp pea vines, apples or a voluptuous red pomegranate, each enhancing a delicate salad of gathered greens from artisan gardens throughout the West. From the amuse bouche of tuna, cornmeal and miniature greens to the Panacotta dessert, the meal was a celebration of creativity. A brunch at Thomas Keller’s Bouchon was inspiring, and, compared to the tariff at his other famous restaurant, The French Laundry in Napa, a full-meal bargain. Before we lucked into a kitchen tour, there was brunch. We feasted on lovely homemade braided bread with house-made cherry jam, a near-divine tomato soup, and then two entrÊes, dinner salads really.

Five Minutes With ... RICHARD TILLINGHAST Q&A by RYAN HUME Spend some time with singer/songwriter Richard Tillinghast, who is coming to Cannon Beach from White Salmon, Washington, with his wife and cellist, Tova Tillinghast, to play songs from their new record “The Door is Open,� at the Lumberyard Rotisserie & Grill at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 25. “The Door is Open� is your second record with OneHum. For you, how does collaborating with other musicians change the songwriting and recording process? The songs on this album were written solo, so collaboration didn’t change the writing process, but recording is a social event, collaborative by nature, so input and actual change (in sound, mix, mood) is invaluable and a big part of what comes out on the record. We were really honored to work with Rick Hulet at his studio in Bingen, WA on this record. Rick has since passed due to cancer. Creative exchange between people can really spur growth, and our new music focuses more on the process than the output. I love writing new songs with other people and changing my old ones due to other people’s input or the events of the minute. You are originally a Southern boy, but the Pacific Northwest and its inhabitants seem to exert a strong influence over your songs. How does this landscape and the people who live in it inspire you? There’s a freedom here. This is the first place I settled as an adult. I was in my late 20s, on my way to California (I thought) to live and kayak. I drove through the Columbia River Gorge on a broken sunny day and thought, “I’m going to stay here.� I’d been through the area twice before on cross-country kayaking trips and each time I’d felt a unique connection to the place, especially the Little
White Salmon River drainage. There’s a freedom here; I’m not sure how much of it is Western “live and let live� versus personal growth and my ability to expand in this particular environment. Regardless, I love it here. I’ve sown my oats, made and lost friends, worked with a piece of land. We’re growing roots, living the heart of our lives in the place we’ve chosen to be, and that’s what these songs are about. Some of the songs on “The Door is Open� cover momentous life events: meeting your wife, Tova, becoming a father. These songs are complimented by others that are purely reminiscent — like “Still,� about the wilds of youth — and some older songs to boot — like “Town in the Distance,� which was written 17 years ago. When you step back and look at the whole picture the album paints, what do you see? I see it as a group of songs that represent, or describe, special episodes of a life. The album definitely covers a period of time filled with momentous events, beginning just before my son was born. Life is a continuous thing, and we’re moving into new material, new growth, all the time, but this album will always be special to me because it paints a picture of some very good days. You’ve been known to banter with an audience between songs: tell stories and offer comic relief. How does performing live — like you will at The Lumberyard on April 25 — fuel you and the band?
28 | April 23, 2015 | coastweekend.com
I’ve always considered myself more of a songwriter than a performer, but playing live allows one to get his kicks out one way or another. You can be a rock star or try to convey subtle feelings through music’s wonderful mixture of sound and ideas. I have a silly sense of humor, so that comes out in one goofy way or another. Also, a performing night is a night out for Tova and me, or the whole band, and we like to have fun. What the performer feels is what the audience feels. My brother is a sculptor and we often talk about our different art forms. He does his work alone in a studio, whereas with music, sharing is part of the art. It’s all really ironic because I’m not much of a thespian. I’d rather be gardening or cutting firewood. I do like to have a good time, though, and doing fun shows allows one to meet people, experiment with sound and travel. What’s next for Richard Tillinghast and OneHum? I’ve been playing a lot of distorted electric guitar lately. I’ve always played acoustic for the honesty and “realness� of it. Electric instruments don’t do much when there’s no power. So real, acoustic vibrations have been my focus. There’s always been an underlying urge, though, to just go crazy with volume and distortion. I probably should have gotten it out when I was younger, but I didn’t. Now I’m merging melodic acoustic stuff with distorted, punk-like guitar at high volumes. Music usually strives to sound “musical�; now I’m interested in discordance and power to tell more of the story. We’ve got good shows coming up and some regular local gigs. I hope to integrate the new ideas into a show that conceivably could go from kid-friendly music at the start to punk shattering windows by the end. Hopefully the kids would have gone home by that point.

Trail’s End opens ‘Coastal Art for All Seasons’ May 2 GEARHART — Gheri Fours is the featured artist for May at Trail’s End Art Gallery. The show, titled “Coastal Art for All Seasons,” will include her works in watercolor, mixed-media and collage. The opening reception will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, May 2 during Gearhart’s First Saturday ArtWalk. Along with other members’ work, the show will be open through the month of May. The public is welcome to browse the gallery and gift shop featuring an all new monthly exhibit of oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics, photography, collage, cards and gifts. The gallery and gift shop is open 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays. The gallery is located at 656 A St. Visit the Trail’s End web-
site at http://trailsendart.org for more information about the organization, and find out about the events TEAA has planned for the summer. Come visit on May 2 and ask Fours any questions you might have about how she develops her art. Born and raised in Chicago, Fours has lived in Canada and Hawaii and is now retired on the Oregon Coast. “In the ’50s and ’60s, my sister and I used to go to the Art Institute in Chicago once a month to see the change in exhibits and watch the new trends,” Fours recalls. “When we went to the university, she majored in art, and I majored in chemistry. When I retired she bought me a paint brush and encouraged me to paint.” Fours answered some questions about her art.
a quiet landscape, or just a capture of melancholy on a toned paper. Where do you paint? I have a studio, but drawing and painting outside is alluring to me despite the oftentimes wet weather. I carry a small sketchbook that gives me comfort just knowing I can draw at anytime. Spontaneity is often the preface to many deliberate paintings that I finish in my studio. Do you have other hobbies or interests? In my other life outside of painting, I work with wool: spinning, knitting and weaving. It is working with my hands in another way. There is a certain element of history and utility in working fiber from the very beginning of its origin to a finished product. Fiber arts inspires my creativity.

Crab Cooking 101 STEP ONE Keep live crabs loosely covered in the refrigerator up to 12 hours. Grasp crabs carefully from the rear end, between the legs, and place in a pan to make sure they fit, with 3 to 4 inches of clearance below pan rim. Remove crabs and fill pan with enough water to cover crabs by 2 to 3 inches. Cover pan and bring water to a boil over high heat. STEP TWO One at a time, grasp crabs as described above and plunge then headfirst into the boiling water. If you have too much water, ladle out excess and discard. Cover pan and start timing. When water resumes boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook 1-1/2 to 2-1/2-pound crabs 15 minutes, 3-pound crab about 20 minutes.
