Ales & Ideas asks how to end child sexual abuse Margaret Frimoth to discuss the needed cultural shifts, social transformations ASTORIA — From the moment of birth, sacred ceremonies encircle the small, fragile human being with special blessings, naming rituals, prayers, offerings, and celebrations. From remote, bucolic villages to frenzied city centers, family members wait expectantly for WKH ÂżUVW JOLPSVH RI D QHZERUQ a symbolic representation of hope for the future. Yet, soon after birth, far too many children experience a life story that has little connection to nurturance, honor, safety or nonviolence. Despite decades of efforts to stop child sexual abuse, the epidemic continues. How is this possible? What prevents us from truly loving and protecting our children? What cultural shifts or social transformations need to occur to align our values and ensure that the sexual abuse of children is eliminated? Margaret Frimoth will address these questions in her talk “Do We Really Love Our Children?: Ending Child Sexual Abuse,â€? at the next Clatsop Community College Ales and Ideas lecture. The presentation will take place at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 7 at the Fort George Lovell Showroom, located at 426 14th St. Doors open at 6 p.m. The event is free and open to all ages.

frustration Chairman Tony Johnson is doing everything he can to gain federal recognition for the Chinook Indian Nation
T
The house in Bay Center, Washington is weathered and gray; frayed blue tarps protect the leaky roof. Inside, two women are preparing eggs and baskets for the Easter egg hunt that will take place in a few days. The house was once the home of Lewis Hawkes, the late hereditary chief of this Chinook village, and the family made the house available for the tribal office. “It should be obvious that we are Indians,” says Tony Johnson. “Our existence is self-evident to us, but the federal government says we don’t exist as a tribe. Where do you start with such a situation?” Johnson starts by doing everything in his power, as Chairman of the Chinook Indian Nation, to have his people recognized, once and for all, by the federal government. Recognition was restored to the tribe in 2001, after a 23-year struggle, but rescinded 18 months later by the Bush administration. Today, Tony Johnson is a man on a mission. “We live in a crazy gray area,” Johnson says. “Everyone but the federal government recognizes us as Indians, but we’re not able to receive any funding or services. Our great frustration is that we can’t move forward. I want to see our status clarified in my lifetime.” In his youth, Johnson went out of his way to work with the elders in his community. “What I learned gained me my whole career,” he says. “There weren’t many young people who had the great good fortune to learn what I learned.” He left home for college and to work at various jobs, eventually spending 14 years with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand

He is now education director for the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe, where he is responsible for the education and heritage departments. He has a dream, though: “to retire from a job with my own federally recognized tribe.” The Chinook Indian Nation does more than work for federal recognition. “Our efforts are all about the survival of the community,” Johnson says. “We operate the tribal office to take care of the needs of both the individuals and the community.” As you might expect, Johnson is immersed in Chinook culture. “My grandfather was born a stone’s throw from the tribal office. My grandma was born in 1886, at the time when the salmonberries are in bloom, in a village near Pillar Rock,” he says. “Our lives have been defined by our membership in Chinook. This is our experience.” Johnson is an expert on Chinuk Wawa, the Chinook Indian Nation Tony Johnson has been active in reviving Chinook canoe culture. language that originated as a pidgin trade patois tion to a weeklong potlatch from another loss of the “blue cards” that allowed them of the Northwest.

Speaker talks female-to-male experience Lower Columbia Diversity Project hosts transgender discussion ASTORIA — Over the past few years, male-to-female transgender individuals have received a great deal of national attention. From Chelsea Manning to Laverne Cox to Caitlyn Jenner and beyond, trans women have been in the public eye. But what about “the other direction”? What about the female-to-male experience? Where are the trans men in this life-and-death conversation about gender identity and expression? That will be the subject of “The Other Direction: Female-to-Male in the Transgender Continuum,” a discussion with Laird Young presented by the Lower Columbia Diversity Project. The talk will take place from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 10 at the Boyington

Laird Young will speak about transgender issues at an event hosted by the Lower Columbia Diversity Project on April 10.
In 2012, at age 51, he decided he’d waited long enough to bring his inner and outer selves into alignment and transitioned from female-bodied to male-bodied. He also decided that while things were in a state of change, it was a good time to leave a 25-year career in sales and sales management and do something that mattered more in the world. He now works in the nonpro¿t ¿eld for the Paci¿c NW Hospice Foundation and does occasional speaking engagements and workplace trainings on transgender issues. This Lower Columbia Diversity Project presentation is free, and everyone is welcome. For more information, email lcdiversityproject@gmail.com or call 503-325-1895

ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 9. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits. “An Inconvenient Day” by Stacy Polson at RiverSea Gallery.
ART BUSINESSES
1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Imogen presents the second solo exhibition of April Coppini, who focuses her charcoal renderings on the wild and unseen side of animals. For this series she takes a look at domesticated working animals, primarily dogs, and the relationship to wild animals. She explores the parallels between the hunted and hunter. A slight movement, the tension of muscle before a possible leap, or the casual stance of an animal are all conveyed through gestural mark making. 2. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. “Painting with Wool” features narrative works in needlefelting by Portland fiber artist Stacy Polson. Inspired by vintage Japanese woodcuts, Polson combines storytelling with her love of color and texture, translating patterned kimonos, stylized figures and landscapes into intricate “paintings” in wool. Showing in the Alcove is “Cast in Light,” hand-cast stone planters by Claire Bandfield of Camas, Washington. Passionate about mid-century architecture and formal Japanese gardens, the artist creates simple forms that are crisply contemporary, yet rustic. This series has cast vintage light fixtures in a mix of cement, sand and organic material that is lighter than concrete and aged for weeks in the artist’s garden. 3. Old Town Framing 1287 Commercial St. Scratchboard artist Steve DeLoe explores the world of opposites using light as dark and dark as light. Astoria Parks & Recreation will host its Master Plan Open House. Learn the initial results, and give feedback; get caught up to date on the planning process, and hear about preliminary findings and next steps. Project staff will be present to answer questions.
“Foxhound” by April Coppini at Imogen Gallery.
A painting by Edward Peterson at Tempo Gallery.
4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery will feature paintings by Edward Peterson in the show “Speaking Through Color.” “Color is like music,” he says. “It can be pianissimo, soft and tender, or forte, loud and exciting. I want every painting to tell a story that evokes a feeling.” Refreshments will be served. 5. KALA 1017 Marine Drive Born and raised in Portland, Jason Scribner is a commercial fisherman in Bristol Bay, Alaska. During the summer months, he works long hours harvesting wild and sustainable sockeye salmon while squatting in an abandoned cannery known as “Graveyard Point.” Scribner paints on self-collected remnants of wood, applying layers of distressed paint while simultaneously reviving life into an expiring substance. The desolate grandeur of the Alaskan landscape would be a direct reflection of the material and visions being poured onto them, which serves as an expression of loss, process and recovery. 6. Astoria Art Loft 106 Third St. There will be lots of action at the Astoria Art Loft all day. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Cindy Black and Scott Leahing will lead a hands-on session featuring the latest art materials to create mixed-media masterpieces. At 1 p.m., Native American artist Wade Stroud will lead a hands-on session featuring Brusho Crystal Watercolors. The cost for both sessions

is $20. All three artists will be at art walk from 3 to 6 p.m. Meet the artists, view creations and enjoy refreshments. 7. Astoria Fiber Arts Studio 1296 Duane St. See a trunk show of silk shawls, scarves and other handmade apparel by Mihara Shibori Studio, which held its last trunk show in Astoria in 2010. The studio was formed by Michael Tadao and artist Barbara Setsu Pickett, a professor emeritus at the department of art at the University of Oregon. Shibori is the cluster of textile techniques that make rich patterns and textures on cloth by pressure resists. The dimensional textures are heat-set with steam and retain shape until moistened.
A scarf by Mihara Shibori Studio, which will show work at Astoria Fiber Arts Studio during art walk.
8. Laughing Duck Digital Pond 120 10th St. Find a blend of photography and art. Featured are drawings of fantasy underwater marine life, Columbia River cargo ships and a series of sketches created over time. Refreshments will be served.
ALSO FEATURING ORIGINAL ART
9. Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. Celebrate Luminari Arts’ two-year anniversary. Visitors will enjoy live
music with Ted and Mike on guitar and mandolin, beverages and bites, local art and cards. “Listen,” a collection of new works by fiber artist Constance Waisanen, features monoprinted and hand-dyed natural subjects detailed with stitching. Accompanying poetry invites viewers to celebrate the spirit within natural beauty. “My intent with this work is to bridge the gap between the illusion of individuality and the reality that we are all part of something larger,” she says. Head Start will also showcase student artwork. The children in the program are part of a group show represented at various venues during art walk.
10. Forsythea 1124 Commercial St. Casey Jaye Palmgren, a graduate of Evergreen State College who lives in Astoria, will debut her mixed-media pieces during an opening reception. Palmgren allows intuition along with everyday sights and sounds to guide her through the creative process. Her layered pieces emerge with honest results. 11. Adagio 1174 Commercial St. On display are antique African masks and Japanese woodblock prints from the Shin-Hanga and Sosaku-Han-

Hear cosmic country songs in Long Beach SEAVIEW and LONG BEACH Wash. — Seattle-based band Evening Bell is coming to the Long Beach Peninsula on a Spring Break Tour. First, the band will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, April 10, 11 and 12 at the Adrift Hotel. Then, the Sou’Wester
Lodge will host a performance at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 13. Evening Bell’s dark and haunting songs have all of the passion and tragedy of a broken howl under the high desert moonrise. Part Western psychedelia, part Northwest rock ’n’ roll,
Evening Bell is the new collaboration between songwriters Hart Kingsbery (Davidson Hart Kingsbery) and Caitlin Sherman (Slow Skate). The duo quickly became a full band with Jason Merculief on drums, followed shortly by Aaron Harmonson on bass,
and newest addition Olie Eshleman on pedal steel. The group has recently shared the stage with established roots acts such as Ha Ha Tonka, La Luz, Barna Howard, Banditos, Howe Gelb, Jessica Lea May¿eld, The Moondoggies and Alela Dianne.

FOOD, HISTORY AND FUN COMBINE AT THE ANNUAL RAZOR CLAM FESTIVAL IN LONG BEACH, WASHINGTON Story by LYNETTE RAE McADAMS
Those were the good old days: One giant frying pan, two Bathing Clam Beauties, a weekend’s worth of good digging, and enough clam chowder to feed the hungry masses. Though that’s a scene from more than 75 years ago, this weekend the past will happily repeat, as locals and visitors gather once more at the annual Razor Clam Festival — the oldest, and also, newest, event on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula. ³, wasn’t aware of the history at ¿rst,´ admits Randy 'ennis, festival organizer and owner of the 'ennis Company, a local chain of hardware and general stores with ¿ve locations on the coast. As a member of the Long Beach Merchants Association, the festival’s primary sponsor, 'ennis says he was just trying, like everyone else, to think of a way to promote business during tourism’s ³shoulder season´ — those all-too-slow months leading up to summer. “But as soon as I mentioned the idea,´ he says, “people started ¿lling me in.´ Originating in 1940, the Razor Clam Festival helped put the peninsula on the map, attracting visitors to the windswept shores of Long Beach with the tasty promise of the World’s Largest Clam Fritter, cooked publicly in the World’s Largest Frying Pan, alongside vats of fresh chowder. More than 200 pounds of Washington’s beloved bivalve graced 12 | April 7, 2016 | coastweekend.com
that 8-foot-wide pan, and hordes of people gathered to watch as a team of chefs maneuvered the fritter with garden hoes and two-foot-wide spatulas. The following year saw an even bigger pan, and, with it, bigger crowds. In 1948, hoping to broaden the festival’s appeal even further, the enormous pan went on a Northwest tour, accompanied by the supremely popular Bathing Clam Beauties (swim suit models clad in razor clam bikinis), and a caravan of 30 cars. Making stops throughout Washington, Idaho and Oregon, the entourage garnered plenty of attention — some would even say, too much. Exploitation of the beaches, along with over-harvesting, had caused clam numbers to plummet; the largest Razor Clam Festival, it turned out, would also be the last. That is, of course, until 2013, when Randy 'ennis thought of it all over again. A local boy through and through, 'ennis grew up harvesting razor clams, even digging commercially for a time in his youth. Today, he credits awareness and regulation at a state level for the abundance of clams that have returned to local beaches. “The 'epartment of Fish and Wildlife has done an incredible job helping ensure this resource remains for us and future generations. 'ecades ago, our beaches were in jeopardy, and we nearly put ourselves out of business, but I think
we learned from that,´ he says. “Reinstating the festival feels like a celebration.´ Now in its fourth year (or its 13th, depending on how you count them), the festival has regained the momentum of its nascent years, building on an original repertoire of favorites. Kicking things off, quite appropriately, is a morning clam
‘SOME OF MY BEST MEMORIES ARE WRAPPED UP IN CLAM DIGGING, AND THAT’S TRUE FOR A LOT OF FOLKS AROUND HERE. I THINK IT’S EXCITING TO SHARE THAT WITH VISITORS — SOMETHING THAT’S SO UNIQUELY LONG BEACH, SO COMPLETELY US.’
dig, with low tide arriving at 8:52 a.m. on Saturday, April 9. 'on’t know a shovel from a clam gun" No worries. -oin the pros for a free lesson on the beach, followed by a cleaning demonstration. (Participants must pre-register online and arrive with their own gear and shell¿sh license.) Once your clams are well in hand, head downtown to the 'ennis Company, where you can enter to win cash prizes for the biggest clam, smallest clam, and best looking limit, or take a guess at how many clam shells are in the display tank. Free giveaways and expert advice will also be available from a multitude of manufacturers, just in case it’s time to upgrade your clam gear. Maybe you’re not quite the sporting type, but you’re more apt to be in it for the eating. No shame in that, just follow your nose to the Amateur Chowder Competition, where 13 pre-selected contestants will compete for cash and (obviously) local stardom, as their homemade chowders are put to the test by four renowned chefs from Seattle’s Tom 'ouglas restaurants. Stick around, though, because that’s just a warm up to the main event, which is sure to be the annual Clam Chowder Taste-off. “Last year was amazing,´ says 'ennis, who advises an early arrival to the afternoon event. “People were wrapped around the block and down the street waiting to get in.´ That of course, seems completely reasonable. After all,
10 local restaurants are turning out for the annual people’s choice competition, where participants vie for the coveted “Best Clam Chowder´ trophy (not to mention absolute bragging rights), and space is limited. An entry fee of $10 buys a tasting-size portion from each restaurant, a beverage, a ballot, a 2016 tide book, Clam Festival coupons, and vintage Clam Festival postcards. If you still haven’t had your ¿ll, there’s always that giant frying pan, remember" Thankfully, a shiny, newer replica, christened at the 2014 festival, will be sizzling once again as eight local celebrities (including Sen. 'ean Takko and Rep. Brian Blake, both members of the Washington State Legislature) cook up some of the best fritters since the 1940s. Or so they say. The festival’s master chefs will again be the judge, awarding one winner with $250 to donate to the local nonpro¿t organization of their choice. Onlookers get free samples (while supplies last), and an adjacent beer garden, hosted by North -etty Brewing, will offer pours that lean (hopefully) toward the less clammy. Balancing tradition with a touch of something new, this year’s docket includes a visit from the Oregon Mermaids, who’ll be in full ¿shy regalia at the downtown train depot, where kids can hear interactive stories about the ocean habitat, learn songs, enjoy face painting, and even try on a mermaid tail themselves.
Clam digging lessons: Bolstad Pavilion, 6:45 a.m. Saturday; 7:30 a.m. Sunday (pre-register online) Clam cleaning demos: Bolstad Pavilion, 9 to 10 a.m. Saturday; 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Sunday Clam contests and gear vendors Dennis Company, 8 a.m. to noon Saturday Saturday Market Preview: Port of Ilwaco, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday Amateur chowder competition: Long Beach Elks Lodge, 11 a.m. to noon Saturday (registration is closed) Oregon Mermaids: Long Beach train depot, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday Clam chowder taste-off: Long Beach Elks Lodge, 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday ($10 entry fee) Clam fritter cook-off: Veterans Memorial Park, 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday Beer, BBQ, and live music: Veterans Memorial Park, 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday
Not to be upstaged, the Bathing Clam Beauties will still abound, along with 'ennis 'uck, the W'FW Razor Clam, and the Beard’s Hollow Pirates, who’ll all be strutting their stuff throughout downtown, dancing to live music and generally hamming it up (clamming it up") for photo ops. “I think the appeal of the festival is simple,´ says 'ennis. “This is about good old-fashioned outdoor family fun. Some of my best memories are wrapped up in clam digging, and that’s true for a lot of folks around here. I think it’s exciting to share that with visitors — something that’s so uniquely Long Beach, so completely us. I think once people experience that, they’re always going to come back.´ 8:52 a.m. Saturday (-1.1) So far, he’s exactly right. “The festival has been really 9:41 a.m. Sunday (-1.0) popular and well-received,´ says (Best digging is usually 1 to Andi 'ay, executive director of 2 hours before low tide) the Long Beach Peninsula Visitor’s Bureau. “It’s authentically Northwest, and that’s very attractive, but also, it celebrates something so special — the act of gathering food and preSubmitted photo paring it together — that’s very rare these days,´ she says, The Long Beach Razor Clam Festival started in 1940, attracting visitors with the tasty promise of the World’s Largest Clam Fritter, adding (because she clearly couldn’t help herself), “people cooked publicly in the World’s Largest Frying Pan. really seem to dig it.´

PIZZA GARDEN
This medium pizza from N e h a l e m ’s Pizza Garden is split: the top is Thai, and the bottom is Supreme.
Nehalem home-cooked pizza is made with heart Rarely do I link pizza with home cooking. But Nehalem’s Pizza Garden weds the two like cheese and pepperoni. “I don’t claim to be a chef,â€? writes owner Jeanne Wells, introducing the menu. “I learned to cook as a child, standing on a chair next to my mother. I make most things from scratch.â€? In a converted house, Pizza Garden is cozier and more inviting than it appears from the street. The interior walls are bold, green and fuchsia, adorned with easy art, plants and the like. There are semi-private nooks, space for medium-sized parties, and a four-seat, tile bar. The south-facing rear of the restaurant is almost like a sun room, full of natural light and placid views of the winding Nehalem River. Outside there’s a large deck that must be marvelous on summer evenings. Alongside a few appetizers, salads, hoagies and pastas there were two specials on this day, and my companion and I ordered them both: a Reuben pizza ($19 medium) and the “Crobsterâ€? ($12 small), a seafood lasagna. We began with a Caesar Salad ($5.50 small, $7.50 large), and said yes to the inclusion of anchovies.

Artists: apply for Royal Nebeker art scholarship North Oregon Coast Birdathon is set Scholarship open to Clatsop and Pacific County residents CLATSOP and PACIFIC COUNTIES — Sarah Nebeker and the board of the Royal Nebeker Scholarship Fund announce that the fund is now accepting applications for a scholarship in the visual arts. The $500 scholarship is the first to be awarded by the organization, which was formed in 2015. Deadline for the application is Monday, May 2. The scholarship will be awarded at a dinner at the Shelburne
Inn in Seaview, Washington, on June 5. The purpose of the Royal Nebeker Scholarship is to encourage those pursuing an education in two- or three-dimensional visual arts. Applicants may be of any age, and must reside in either Clatsop County, Oregon, or Pacific County, Washington. They need not be currently registered in an arts program. A written statement and a
portfolio of 10 images of the applicant’s work is required. Finalists may, at the discretion of the scholarship committee, be interviewed as part of the application process. Those applying can obtain an application form by contacting nebekerfund@ gmail.com Royal Nebeker was an award-winning, internationally known artist living in Astoria; he died in 2014.
CANNON BEACH — The North Oregon Coast Birdathon will take place from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 9. During the 12hour period, teams and individuals will scour the planet or their own back yards for as many species of birds as possible. A birdathon, similar to a walkathon, raises funds per bird species observed. Anyone can participate including expert birders, casual birdwatchers, beginners, experts, kids and adults. The NOC Birdathon was originally created as part of the Twelve Days of Earth Day cel-
ebration in Cannon Beach and now extends throughout the boundaries of Clatsop County. All donations from the event will go to the Wildlife Center of the North Coast to help rehabilitate birds and other wildlife. There are new prize categories this year: Most birds species seen from private residences and yards, youngest birder, and the person who is the furthest away from Cannon Beach. Lists need to be returned by April 14 to be tallied. Prizes will be awarded at the Gaylord Nelson Awards and
Potluck at 6 p.m. Friday, April 15 at the Chamber Community Hall located at 207 N. Spruce St. Participation can also be done through a donation to the birdathon. Go to www.coastwildlife.org to donate online, or mail directly to WCNC PO Box 1232, Astoria, OR 97103. Instructions, pledge forms and helpful hints can be found at www.twelvedaysofearthday. com. For information, email Susan Boac at seasidesusan@ gmail.com, or call 503-7391905.

RAYMOND, Wash. — Sunday Afternoon Live presents a concert by The Sojourners from Vancouver, Canada, at 2 p.m. Sunday, April 10. Consisting of Marcus Mosely, Will Sanders and Khari McClelland, this trio brings its signature sound of R&B, country and doowop, as well as jubilee-style old-time gospel music, to the Raymond Theater. Initially coming together in 2006 while working with blues master Jim Byrnes, they were dubbed The Sojourners, and the name stuck. Their eponymous CD “The Sojourners” is a combination of genres. The group was nominated for the Juno Award Blues Album of the Year in 2011 and won a Western Canada Music Award. The trio has backed the Dixie Hummingbirds and Dr. John and The Blind Boys of Alabama.

Retzlaff says there are ways we can all support local farmers and grow the local food system; such as thinking about what â&#x20AC;&#x153;localâ&#x20AC;? means, eating seasonally, and learning about how your food is produced. Asking questions about where food comes from when \RX HDW RXW FDQ EH LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQWLDO â&#x20AC;&#x153;That lets the restaurants know that you care.

About 10 years ago, Brenda McKune had a dream about helping to feed the hungry in the Warrenton area. She started an event called Scrap Out Hunger where scrapbookers and rubber stampers came together to work on their projects and participate in workshops. In 2015, Bobbi Brice and Cindy Miller decided to put on a similar event to raise food and money for the Clatsop Emergency Food Bank in Astoria. With McKuneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s blessing, organizers raised over 1,000 pounds of food and more than $700 for the food bank last year. McKune, Brice and Miller are the organizers of this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Stamp Out Hunger event, which is sponsored by Red Dwarf Graphx.

Cannon Beach Library welcomes three authors in April, May CANNON BEACH — Book lovers are in for a treat this April and May. The Cannon Beach Library and the Cannon Beach Book Company celebrate spring with three special authors: Stephanie Kallos, Diana Abu-Jaber and Lois Leveen. All three talks are scheduled at the Cannon Beach Library, located at 131 N. Hemlock St. The Cannon Beach Book Company will have the author’s books for sale and signing. All library events are free of charge.
Stephanie Kallos
At 2 p.m. Saturday, April 9, author Stephanie Kallos will talk about her recent book “Language Arts.” In the book, Kallos tells the story of a dedicated teacher, his enigmatic and possibly autistic son, and a wartime survivor in a tale of love, loss and handwriting. It is an engaging tale of the
power of love and language, a book described as “tender, sad, happy, discouraging and hopeful … at times painful to read, too close to home and wonderfully inspiring.” Kallos was born in Idaho, raised in Nebraska and before embracing writing as a career, had a varied work history as a musician, an actress and teacher of voice, speech and dialects. Her ¿rst novel, “Broken for You” received the Paci¿c Northwest Book Award among other honors, and “Sing Them Home” was an award-winning book in 2009.
Diana Abu-Jaber
At 4 p.m. Saturday, April 30, notable Arab author AbuJaber will talk about her books that are a mix of mystery, biography, her mixed Arab-American background and family themes. Abu-Jaber is an American
author and a professor at Portland State University. Born in Syracuse, New York, to a Jordanian father and an Irish-German-American mother, she has lived in Jordan, Miami and Portland. Her new culinary memoir “Life Without A Recipe” has been described as “a book of love, death and cake.” Her most recent novel, “Birds of Paradise,” won the 2012 National Arab-American Book Award. She often writes about issues of identity and culture, although her 2008 book “Origin” is a departure into mystery, alienation and unanswered questions. Abu-Jaber’s writings have been described as versatile, a startling literary prowess that is oftentimes unpredictable, tackling diverse themes of multi-racial experience, food as a conduit between family, tradition and cultural legacy, mystery and memoir.
Lois Leveen
At 2 p.m. Saturday, May 14, Leveen, author of “The Secrets of Mary Bowser,” will talk about her latest book, “Juliet’s Nurse,” the world’s most famous love story told as it has never been before. An award-winning author, Leveen dwells in the spaces between literature and history. A con¿rmed book geek, Leveen earned degrees in history and literature from Harvard, University of Southern California and University of California-Los Angeles. She has taught on the faculty of UCLA and Reed College. In “Juliet’s Nurse,” a book which is, by turns, comic, sensual and tragic, Leveen gives voice to one of literature’s most unforgettable characters, seen through the eyes of her long-time nurse, Angelica. The book is detailed, well researched and fast paced.

The Shop in South Bend features bins of vintage albums.
A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE
The Shop in South Bend One hour to burn before a presentation at the library. I wasn’t sweating the show because I figured no one would attend. I walked the streets of South Bend eating a Milky Way bar and marveled at the Willapa River’s meandering beauty. I thought to myself: I could live here if it was in Oregon. On Alder Street, I noticed a store, a quasi junk/ antique/thrift kind of joint. Maybe there was a manual typewriter for sale. I’m always on the lookout for these machines for my classroom (if you want to donate one, please con-
tact me) so I decided to investigate. Two older men hung outside the entrance. I went in and veered to the right, checking out the vintage rock show posters and other music memorabilia. A few seconds later, I found myself standing in front of bins of albums and began thumbing through them even though I don’t own a turntable anymore. This was a superb and obviously curated vintage record collection and heavy on the double live album glory years of the 1970s. My hands drifted to a Ten Years After LP, “Cricklewood Green.” I’d never heard it before but I was about to, I knew that. One of the men from outside
came in, and we struck up a conversation. His name is Bob and The Shop in South Bend, as it’s officially called, is his shop, and it’s a fine one indeed for collectibles, antiques, and rock ’n’ roll vinyl (sadly, no cassettes.) Bob put “Cricklewood Green” on the turntable, and Alvin Lee’s hot guitar licks soon started firing on all cylinders. Man, do I miss this kind of big party music with smoking solos and utterly free of irony! Bob told me he gets most of his records from estate sales, or people bring them in because they don’t want to “hassle” with them anymore. He also told me he has regular hipster customers who make the trek from wherever hipsters originate. I bought the double-record set “California Jam II” for a friend and an ancient Hamm’s beer light for myself. I walked out of The Shop feeling pretty rock ’n’ roll and ready for whatever the library gig would present me. And as it turned out, that was a lot.

Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin walks into the old Clatsop County Jail, which is now the location of the Oregon Film Museum. The old jail was nicknamed “Hotel de Slusher” by prisoners during the reign of Sheriff Slusher from 1923 to 1933.
“ASTORIA, Or., Aug 19—Harley J. Slusher, who was elected sheriff of Clatsop county at the recent recall election, assumed the duties of the position today.”
“to lock,” which would place the name’s ancestry in the occupation of a locksmith, or from the Middle High German schloss, meaning “castle,” which, through tradition, would be applied to someone working in a castle. The Polish Slusarz also refers to a locksmith. Either way the name is not related to slush, which arrives in English from Scandinavian sources. It is not known who first quipped the sardonic nickname for the county jail and if they were aware or not of the implicit irony of referring to the jail as “The Hotel of the Locksmith.”
—“Sheriff Takes Office,” The Sunday Oregonian, Aug. 20, 1922, P. 3
“But yesterday—for the first time, I sat in a jail cell, on the inside, and looked out at the world, and rose colored glasses would have made no difference in the rain-drenched drab outlook visible from an upper window of the Hotel de Slusher.” —Dave Young, “Jailed Reporter Tells of Slusher Hotel Life,” Cumtux, Vol. 35, No. 1, Winter 2015, P. 42, reproduced from Astoria Budget, Sept. 26, 1930, P. 1
