ASTORIA — Pirate Play is the theme for this year’s Dog Day Afternoon event at Astoria Sunday Market. Events take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the open space adjacent to the market off Exchange Street next to the American Legion. The centerpiece of the day is a catwalk for the dogs and their owners as they compete for prizes of best-dressed and other silliness. This year the dogs will “Walk the Plank” instead of the catwalk to compete in a pirate-themed event. “We’ve had cats in the fashion show, so this is open to any public-friendly pet,” explained Market Director Cyndi Mudge. “We are a dog-friendly market, and we use Dog Day Afternoon as an opportunity to educate about dog-etiquette while celebrating the diversity of dogs we see here every Sunday.” The Walk the Plank Fashion Show takes place at 2 p.m. You can register on-site starting at 10 a.m. Registrations are $5 per pet with proceeds going to Clatsop Animal Assistance. Make checks payable to Clatsop Animal Assistance.

Rainbow Girls play folk, gypsy Americana Aug. 30 California band swings into Fort George ASTORIA — Rainbow Girls, a group of female musicians from California, will perform at the Fort George Brewery at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30. The brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. There is no cover, and all ages are welcome. Rainbow Girls write and perform original material with roots in folk, Americana, gypsy, funk, soul and rock ‘n’ roll. In addition to their soaring harmonies, these ladies switch back and forth among a multitude of instruments including, but not limited to: acoustic and electric guitar, accordion, harmonica, banjolele, bass, keys, ukelele, kazoo, djembe drum, and drum kit. Born in an underground open mic night, Rainbow Girls began as an acoustic act, busking around the farmers markets of Santa Barbara, California, before hitting the streets of Europe for a VXPPHU RI FRXFK VXUÂżQJ busking and traveling by the skin of their teeth. Since their return, these band members have evolved into an electric stomp-folk band complete with drums, bass and a slew of original music. In May 2013 Rainbow Girls released its debut album, “The Sound of Light,â€?

Living interdependently Coast Rehabilitation Services helps adults with developmental disabilities participate in the community
Coastal Life Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL
P
Perhaps you’ve seem them cleaning the windows of businesses from Seaside to Astoria, or you’ve shopped at the CRS Thrift Store at Seventh and Bond streets in Astoria, where they’re on staff. Years ago these individuals would have been in sheltered workshops, never seen, and not a part of the larger community. They are adults with disabilities who are supported by CRS, Coast Rehabilitation Services. Jake Carls is the executive director of CRS. His mission, and that of the nonprofit organization, is to help adults with disabilities discover how they want to live in the community and how to get where they want to be. The nonprofit does this by providing residential supports and services in group homes and private settings, as well as employment and day supports, such as work skill training. “CRS envisions a world in which all people have the opportunity to participate in the community in which they choose to live,” Carls says. “They are people like anyone else,” he says. “They have particular challenges, but who doesn’t have challenges? People with developmental disabilities are people first, and the disability comes along as a secondary factor. Our staff gives them the support they need.” In the 1970s, Carls lived in the Southwest, working with court-committed Native American teens. “We were an alternative to federal prison,” he says. Providing education and interpersonal skills, the goal was to help the teens decide where they wanted to be, as part of a community, and to help them get there. Carls soon found himself working with children — and then adults — with a variety of developmental disabilities. This eventually became his focus, and 10 years ago he came to CRS.

Jake Carls is the executive director of Coast Rehabilitation Services, a nonprofit that supports adults with disabilities in the community.
Find more information about Coast Rehabilitation Services at www.coastrehab.org In training sessions, Carls will ask new staff members what their interests and hobbies are, so that they’re aware of the informed choices they’ve made in their lives. “Our people haven’t had those opportunities,” Carls tells them. Then he asks, “How do we give that to them?” “It’s a lot of work to make friends,” says Carls, “especially if you are challenged in the area
of social skills.” The paid staff of CRS help adults with disabilities learn how to make friends, so that if they go to a community event they can make long-standing relationships on their own. “We encourage social, recreational, employment and spiritual activities, which will lead to a life of their choosing,” he says. Contrary to what many believe, the developmentally dis-
abled are treated by CRS, and by the law, as adult citizens in every way. They have the right to vote; they have the right to decide where to live and with whom. However, they may not have been exposed, as Carls says, “to the benefits or risks of particular activities or relationships.” The role of CRS is not to decide what activities are appropriate, but to help these individuals understand the consequences of their actions. Carls says, “When you ask them, ‘what do you want in your life?’ you have to be prepared for answers you might not like. But it’s their life, not ours.” “The future looks different from what we have currently,” Carls says, “especially in our schools. There is a focus on keeping families intact and people in the community.” In the past the movement from institutions to group homes was necessary, he believes, but in
the future there will be a “move to living arrangements suited to them, with support.” The stereotype of developmentally disabled individuals is that they will always need 24/7 support. “That’s not true,” says Carls. “They can learn living skills.” Not that they will live independently. “Is anyone truly independent?” he asks. “Who builds your car? Who makes your clothing? We want our people to be interdependent in the community.” He leaves unsaid: like anyone else. “Our people have been in the community since 1973,” when CRS was founded, says Carls, “but I’m not yet certain that we can say they are of the community. Our hope is that through community education, and our involvement in the community, our people will not only be accepted by the community, but that they will be missed when they’re not there.”
‘They are people like anyone else. They have particular challenges, but who doesn’t have challenges?’

CLATSKANIE — After a successful $3.18 million capital campaign and 18 months of interior renovation work, the new Clatskanie Cultural Center is nearing completion. The Clatskanie Foundation invites the public to view and celebrate the opening of the cultural center at a public open house, scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 30. The center is located at 75 S. Nehalem St. For decades, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows Hall was a prominent center of community life in Clatskanie. The building, which was added to the National Registry of Historic Places in 2012, was designed by prominent Oregon architect Ernst Kroner in 1926 and opened in 1927. Nearly every adult who grew up in Clatskanie remembers going to movies, dance classes, public celebrations and civic meetings at the I.O.O.F Hall. Watch-
LQJ PRYLHV DW WKH JURXQG ÀRRU Avalon Theater was a popular activity, but by the 1990s the building became an eyesore. After it was sold by the dwindling membership of the Odd Fellows Lodge, it fell into disrepair through neglect by a series of private owners. Renovating the I.O.O.F. Hall began to emerge as a dream of community members in the late 1990s. Yet, the concept did not move forward until late 2005 when the Clatskanie Foundation received a VLJQL¿FDQW EHTXHVW IURP WKH estate of C. Keith Birkenfeld, for whom the building’s new theater is named. With the Birkenfeld bequest, the foundation was able to purchase the building, complete restoration of the IDFDGH DQG WKH ¿UVW SKDVH RI HDUWKTXDNH UHWUR¿WWLQJ 7KH Clatskanie Foundation then launched a capital campaign to raise funds to renovate the

building’s interior. To date, the project has raised over $3.18 million — enough to cover the $3.15 million construction costs and create a needed longterm maintenance fund. The successful fundraising campaign has earned widespread support from regional foundations, including major grants from the C. Keith Birkenfeld Memorial Trust at the Seattle Foundation, The Ford Family Fund of The Oregon Community Foundation, Meyer Memorial Trust, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, The Collins Foundation, and The Wollenberg Foundation. More than 100 other foundations, businesses and individuals have donated to the project. “We are grateful for the widespread support of this project. The depth of generosity, locally and regionally, WHVWLÂżHV WR WKH QHHG DQG FRPmitment to restore this building and create a new cultural center in Clatskanie,â€? says Clatskanie Foundation board member and Capital Campaign Chair Deborah Hazen. “Thanks to our dedicated volunteers and generous donors,
the building will once again become a center of community life and culture.� Transforming the I.O.O.F. Hall into the Clatskanie Cultural Center has been largely a volunteer effort led by Clatskanie Foundation board members and community volunteers, including: Mike Engel, a retired general contractor serving as construction manager; Dave Hicks, a retired Wauna Mill engineer serving as project engineer; Hazen, retired publisher and editor of The Clatskanie Chief serving as capital campaign chair; Elsa and Dee Wooley, founders and directors of the Clatskanie Arts Commission, providing support throughout the project; Rich Larsen, foundation president; Teresa Wemmer, foundation treasurer, and Christal Hood, foundation director and marketing chairperson.

Players put on one-act plays Non-traditional sculptors open new show Peninsula Festival showcases four original productions this weekend Cannon Beach Gallery features Stan Peterson, Jeanne Henry CANNON BEACH — Cannon Beach Gallery’s September show brings two non-traditional sculptors together. Stan Peterson is a self-taught woodcarver. Jeanne +enry is an established potter who has stepped out of the box to create innovative ceramic reliefs. Both these bodies of work boast an element of folk art charm while still maintaining their credentials in the realm of ¿ne art. The gallery will host an artist reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29. There will be an artists’ talk at 6 p.m. The gallery is located at 1064 S. +emlock St. “I carve wood sculptures, which depict moments when something is about to happen,” Peterson says. “These are everyday moments, sometimes poignant, sometimes with an edge of humor.” +is work is often modest in scale, handheld, yet on occasion feels larger than life. The work begins with sketches, usually drawn in the evening, depicting the things he has seen, heard, read or remembered. The drawings capable of standing up as a sculpture are redrawn or painted on basswood, then rough-cut with Japanese saws. Over months these are carved with chisels and Àex knives, de¿ning the gesture and giving the ¿gures presence. The ¿nished carving is then de¿ned with hints of washed on color. “When the sculpture stands on its own with a casual sense of grace, it is time to travel to the gallery,” he says. Jeanne +enry has been a potter for 38 years, creating elegant and functional ceramics. +er divergence into relief sculpture originated in her passion for photography. “I’ve been drawn to images that pull you in and make you wonder, what’s around that corner"” she says. In 2000, +enry took photographs in southern France and

Corsica. “One set of images of ancient archways had intense appeal to me. I printed endless photographs, blew them up, drew them, made intaglio prints and did water colors of those archways,” +enry says. “I was compelled to work with them. It became essential to ¿nd a way to blend my photography with my clay.” Determined to ¿nd a way to wed the two disciplines, she worked with layers of clay and reali]ed she could show distance and perspective by carving. Employing the ¿ring and gla]ing techniques with which she was familiar, she began to experiment with stoneware clays, mason stains and oxides to create a sense of space and distance. She continues to base these works on her own photographs from Oregon and abroad, calling them vacations for your mind. This exhibition was made possible by the support of the gallery’s funding partner, the James F. & Marion Miller Foundation.

ILWACO, Wash. — The Peninsula Players’ annual One Act Play Festival 2015 is about to begin. Four original one-act plays will be produced: “Scamming Grandpa,” “Creative Writing,” “The Door” and “The Widows of Oysterville.” The festival opens with a champagne gala at 6:15 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 27. It continues at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 28 and 29 and closes with a 2 p.m. matinee Sunday, Aug. 30. All shows will take place at the River City Playhouse, located at 127 Lake St. S.E. Many of the plays are written by local playwrights. The are performed by local actors, directed by local directors, and are written with local people and events as character-models. Festival Producer Joe Paliani, a resident of Ocean Park and an avid supporter of the Peninsula Players, said “The River City Playhouse is a jewel, a treasure chest of comedy, drama and musicals, written, directed, and performed by local people who love theater, love their community and give
their all for each performance. This is why everyone should love being part of it — local theater only exists because of you.” “Scamming Grandpa” is by playwright John Byrne. Prepare to be delightfully surprised by this tale of gripping turns and twists, directed by Karl Johnson. What will Grandpa ¿nd" Carrie is played by Beth Winters; Joyce is played by Rose Powers; Fred played by Ed Ahlers; and Martha is played by special guest performers. “Creative Writing,” written and directed by Jim Tweedie, is a marvelous unwinding of sinuous characters whose very lives seem so ephemeral as to deny their very existence. Are they who they say they are" +ow can you or I be certain" The Girl is played by Shannon Driscoll; The Boy is played by Aaron +umber; The Man is played by Barry Sears; and the Prop Person is Jim Tweedie. Playwright Dean Mead makes his River City Playhouse debut with his suspenseful play “The Open Door.” Directed by Tracy Roach, this play is an exciting vignette
about how reality often turns on itself amid unpredictable situations. Who knows what will someday walk through a door that is never really closed" Aunt Eli]abeth is played by Rose Power; Uncle Ned is played by Karl Johnson; Vera is played by Missy Bageant; and Frampton Nelson is played by Matthew Warner. Paliani’s play, “The Widows of Oysterville,” is his sixth play to be produced by the Peninsula Players. Directed by Melissa Goldberg, the play promises to thrill the audience with a Willapa Bay mud shrimp expose. +arriet is played by Laurie Carter; Lucinda is played by Tracy Roach; Belinda is played by Sharon Patterson; Cyril is played by Bob Goldberg; Gerard is played by Barry Sears; and Sheriff Tugg is played by Michael Goldberg. All tickets are $5, available at Okies’ Market, Stormin’ Norman’s in Long Beach, Old Towne Coffee Shop in Ilwaco, and at the box of¿ce.

Love of watercolors revealed in ‘Earth, Sea and Sky’
Trail’s End Art Association features artist Jane McGeehan during September GEARHART — Jane McGeehan is the September featured artist for Trail’s End Art Gallery. Her show, “Earth, Sea and Sky,” will include some of her landscapes and collages. The opening reception will be from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5 during Gearhart’s ArtWalk. During the reception, ask McGeehan any questions you might have about how she develops her paintings. The gallery is located at 656 A St. For more information, visit www. trailsendart.org. Painting with watercolors is magical, totally engrossing, and a pure delight for McGeehan. Having loved drawing since childhood but with essentially no formal training, she discovered watercolors one summer shortly after beginning her WHDFKLQJ FDUHHU +HU ¿UVW WHDFKer, Joseph Wrobel, introduced her to the joys and challenges of watercolor painting. Her career in education resulted in placing the dream of painting on hold. Retiring to Camano Island, Washington, McGeehan pored over books about watercolor painting. She realized that direct instruction was going to be a vital way to get started. A class in watercolor painting offered at the local senior center was just right. Coleen Allen, regional watercolorist, patiently demonstrated the basic techniques and provided the essential coaching. Next, McGeehan challenged herself further by studying for an intense week with Camano Island artist Jack Dorsey. Her classmates were established regional artists, so the learning curve was a steep one. Soon McGeehan was painting meadows, gardens, and the scenic Puget Sound with steady encouragement and coaching from a growing circle of artist friends. Among them was Camano Island artist Molly LeMaster. Under her excellent instruction and coaching, McGeehan further developed her skills and her passion for watercolor painting. When McGeehan and her husband moved to the North

Coast of Oregon, the richness of the surroundings continued to inspire her. Joining Trail’s End Art Association provided opportunities to expand her knowledge. Classes with Fealing Lin demonstrated that there can be great excitement as images are revealed through color and freedom. A focused week with Gerald Brommer brought design elements to the forefront. A series of classes taught by Astoria artist Shirley Dahlsten increased McGeehan’s awareness of styles of art and the dynamics of creativity. An enthusiastic lifelong learner, McGeehan believes that watercolor painting will provide challenges and joys for the rest of her life. McGeehan answered some questions about her artwork: Where do you gather most of your inspiration for
your work? Nature inspires me. My camera is a big help and I organize photos I’ve taken by categories. When I paint,
I can create new images to reflect a mood by choosing elements of various photos and combining them in new ways. Landscapes and flowers especially fascinate me as sunlight plays on each at different times of day. What is a fun experience you have had with art? This spring I entered the Astoria Music Festival poster contest. I was thrilled to be notified that my poster was a finalist to be displayed at the music festival office. Music is a special joy to me along with the visual arts, so creating a visual product with musical symbols was very enjoyable. How and where do you like to work? My favorite place to paint is outdoors, which I do during the summer with Trail’s End Art Association plein air group. There is no end to fabulous scenes up and down the North Coast to inspire me. When the weather prevents painting in those settings, I love to be in my studio at home with its view of sky, seagrass and pine trees. What do you like best about your work? The best part is becoming so completely absorbed in painting. I love the idea of starting with simple materials and creating something of beauty and interest.

Manzanita’s beach stretches 7 glorious miles from the base of Neahkahnie Mountain at the north end to the Nehalem jetty at the south.
Manzanita Beach By DAN HAAG A lot has been written over the years about the bene¿ts of walking Oregon’s beaches. It’s a subject that begs to be described in the most poetic terms possible. How can one set foot on the soft sands of Oregon’s beaches and not feel some cosmic connection to a force greater than themselves? No greater case can be made for the existence of a higher power than walking the beach at Manzanita. Manzanita’s beach stretches 7 glorious miles from the base of Neahkahnie Mountain at the north end to the Nehalem jetty at the south. In between lies a Àat expanse of beach bordered by dunes that’s willing to mold to the moods of its visitors; serene and peaceful, blustery and breezy, somber and contemplative, joyous and exuberant. A walk from end to end can take a few hours or a whole day, depending on your state of mind or level of enthusiasm. Summer is, of course, the most popular time to walk here, but it also offers sharp contrasts. Early morning is cool and monastery-quiet, and the sand sparkles like a wet constellation. You can often walk the length of the beach and never see another soul. Dogs often outnumber people up and down the stretch before 9 a.m. If you let your mind wander a little far a¿eld, you can picture the wreck of the *lenesslin being battered against the unforgiving base of the mountain in 1913. A summer afternoon is a different matter, as crowds descend on the beach to splash in the waves, Ày kites or build sandcastles. Winter is for the hearty adventurer. Walking the beach bent forward while agitated surf crashes and foam licks at your feet is a cleansing experience. There is no right or wrong time of day or year to walk Manzanita beach. Just let down your hair and put one foot in front of the other. The beach is not there to judge you.
By LYNETTE RAE McADAMS It’s a pleasant stroll most any time of year, but here at the height of summer, this working port is at its best. Start at Jessie’s Ilwaco Fish Co. and head east, following the curve of the marina out and around to the breakwater that shoulders the boat launch. It’s roughly a mile, there and back, and under clear skies there’s a bonus view of Saddle Mountain and the city of Astoria. Shops and galleries line Waterfront Way, mixing with the maritime businesses that remain the heart of this sleepy ¿shing village — but the main allure is always the boats. A Àoating catalogue of dreams and desires, held fast in tidy rows: +ere, a stout and scaly ¿shing boat, forever working for its living; there, a sleek pleasure craft, glistening with leisure. It’s a diverse world, where rusty hulls and peeling varnish mix equally with shipshape brightwork, and the diminutive Coho Sally shares a watery dance with the buxom and beautiful Anita D. Meander the docks and take in their collective reminder: It’s one thing to gaze out and dream about that endless horizon, but it’s something else entirely to take to the sea and chase it down.

Seaside’s Prom: the jewel of the city By MARILYN GILBAUGH Seaside’s main street, Broadway, culminates at the landmark Turnaround. Lewis and Clark were here in 1805-06 taking in the sights. So too are thousands of sightseers who continue to use the same area. Today we call it the Prom. At the Turnaround, look south for three-quarters of a mile. That’s where the Prom ends (or begins) at Avenue U. Look north an equal distance to where it ends (or begins) at 12th Avenue.
Photo by Joshua Bessex
On sunny days, the Prom in Seaside can be filled with people enjoying views of the beach.
The 15-foot-wide Prom was constructed in 1920 to replace wooden planks. The walkway — with a low balustrade, ample benches and several easy-to-use beach entries and street accesses for close-up park-
ing — boarders the Paci¿c’s sandy shore, framed by Tillamook Head. Families, dogs, friends, lovers, people of all ages and languages both foreign and familiar use the Prom. On foot, wheelchairs, bikes, strollers, scooters and skateboards they appreciate all that it offers throughout the year. Whatever the weather or time of day, the Prom has something interesting to see, photograph, overhear and/or contemplate. An evening walk is lit by Prom lights that mirror gas lamps of yesteryear. With a background of twinkling lights from downtown Seaside, a clear moonlit night sky, the stars and shimmering white-capped waves, well, it just can’t get any better.
Short Sand Beach Trail By DWIGHT CASWELL Ten miles south of Cannon Beach is the parking lot for Short Sand Beach Trail. A sloping half-mile path leads through mature forest to a picnic area that overlooks Short Sand Beach, over half a mile of sand along Smuggler Cove. There’s a waterfall at the north end of the beach, and mist from breakers drifts past volcanic basalt and sandstone cliffs. Arrive early on summer days; crowds can make parking dif¿cult by noon. Short Sand is a Mecca for those with surfboards, paddleboards, kayaks and ¿shing rods. One of the advantages of Short Sand Beach is the moderate gradient. As the tide goes out there are pools and shallows far enough back from the waves to be perfect for small children who want to build sandcastles and splash in the water. And there’s plenty of driftwood just waiting to be turned into forts. Side trails take you through dense old-growth forest, and a trail of slightly more than two miles takes you to Cape Falcon. A half-mile walk takes you to a monument that memorializes Matt Kramer, the journalist who was instrumental in preserving Oregon beaches. It has a beautiful view of Short Sand Beach.

The South Jetty By MATT LOVE
Astoria’s 11th Street Stairs By RYAN HUME One of the magical things I like about walking Astoria is the number of stairwells that vein the hillside neighborhoods cocked above the river and bay. Probably the Mount Everest of these public Astoria stairwells is the lark of 11th Street, where the road terminates at Irving Avenue. It looks pretty daunting from the Riverwalk, if you cast an eye up 11th to where the hill snaps vertical and the stairs ascend, sTuee]ed by those manicured, symmetrical shrubs the ¿rst time I saw it from afar I saw my own Exorcist-style ending in the future. On closer inspection, this is one of Astoria’s greatest mirages: It is not a stairwell at all, but a paved path, upset by little berms about a plank’s length apart, slimmer than an adult human’s natural gait. I’ve read that this kind of illusory stairing might be referred to as “pigeon steps,” but it could just as well be called “No skateboards ever.” When you top out on Jerome Avenue, you may wonder, “Why did I do that?” Turn around. No matter the weather, it’s a view that will crush any sel¿e.
Photo by Ryan Hume
The view down 11th Street from the top of the stairs is worth the climb up.
Whenever the world feels heavy upon my shoulders, such as reading about an American dentist beheading an African lion to decorate his soulless man cave, I head to the South Jetty at Fort Stevens State Park and take a walk. If I didn’t have this walk at my daily disposal, I just might go insane. There, a few minutes along the sandy path that begins the Oregon Coast Trail, with Saddle Mountain looming in the distance, all the weight starts to lift off like the way barn swallows Ày in the early morning. My rallying has commenced. I used to take my husky with me, but she’s too old these days, so it’s just me and my thoughts. My walk parallels the might jetty until it breaks off into the dunes and then down to the beach and then as far as I want to go south. Along the way, I might encounter deer, coyote, bald eagles, fishermen, crabbers, pelicans, gulls, surfers, elk, driftwood forts, rock hounds, joggers, dreamers. And of course, I always encounter the ocean on my right, washing ashore at so many angles and in so many different colors. At the South Jetty, the ocean teaches the wonderful variety in life. This is perhaps the most important lesson in life. Sometimes you have to walk to learn it.
Photos by Matt Love
Walking by the South Jetty in Fort Stevens State Park can lift the world’s worries from your shoulders.
I’ve taken my South Jetty walk close to 200 times since moving to Astoria in 2013. During all those times, I think I’ve said two dozen words to human beings. Matt Love lives in Astoria and is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide and The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel. They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com.

Yet here in the Northwest, perennials, shrubs and trees can throw a party in the garden for more than two seasons. Toss in a few bulbs, and a pinch of design tips, and you have a recipe for a luscious garden. Teashon will present the true stars of the Northwest garden. Tickets to this event are $20. Tickets for each event are available to purchase separately. Luncheon and lecture tickets are $25, Home & Garden Tour tickets are $30, and Garden Tea tickets are $20. A weekend event package is $60.

Tickets will be available through the museum’s online gift shop at www.cbhistory. org or by phone at 503-4369301.

Cannon Beach Chorus starts fall rehearsals CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Chorus, under the direction of John Buehler, will begin the fall 2015 performance season from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 14, at the Cannon Beach Community Church, located at 132 E. Washington St. Entering its 27th year, the chorus will begin rehearsing choral literature that represents music from the 1800s to the present and includes Mass in G by Franz Schubert with organ and string quartet; a collection of carols by British composer John Rutter that will include “Mary’s Lullaby,” “The Holly and the Ivy,” “What Sweeter Music?”; and a collection of seasonal favorites, all of which will be presented at the December concerts. The 55-voice Cannon Beach Chorus is open to singers age 16 and older and includes members from
the coastal communities of Ocean Park, Washington, Astoria, Warrenton, Gearhart, Seaside, Cannon Beach, Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler. As advocates of choral music education, the chorus supports area-wide high school choral music programs and has shared concerts with choral ensembles from Astoria High School, Warrenton High School and Seaside High School. The chorus is planning a 2016 spring concert with Warrenton High School singers under the direction of Michael McClure. Additionally, the Cannon Beach Chorus awards the Carol Homme Memorial Scholarship to a graduating senior vocalist who plans to continue singing at the collegiate level. The 2015 recipients of that award are Alyssa Hanson, of Warrenton, who plans to attend the
Weekly bird surveys will be held at Sunset Beach
University of Oregon, and Ellie Whitlock, of Cannon Beach, who will major in music at Pacific University this fall.

Albacore tuna By LYNETTE RAE McADAMS

The Merry Time Bar and Grill in Astoria is an excellent place to watch football, pro or college, particularly if you don’t have cable television.
A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE
Merry Time Bar and Grill Here we go again. Football season in America. Grown men wearing oversized jersey and screaming in public? Are we ready? I’m not. Wasn’t the Super Bowl just concluded? I’m sitting in the Merry Time Bar and Grill in Astoria on a Sunday morning and some nondescript NFL preseason game blares away. The announcers crank out one cliché after another, but for some reason, I find the trite commentary comforting. “Nickel package” and “He’s good in space” sound like working class poetry of the gridiron to my ears. The Merry Time is an excellent place to watch football, pro or college, particularly if you don’t have cable television like me. The food is good and inexpensive in here, the service friendly and efficient. On my most recent visit a server also gave me a homemade book-
mark and a piece of cake from her going away party. When I asked her about the impending football season, she just shrugged and said, “I could care less.” My only reservation about the Merry Time is this: Any potential customer should be forewarned when a Notre Dame game airs in the bar. There is a certain male fan bedecked in Irish clothing from head to toe who stands up from his table and screams and motions “first down!” every time Notre Dame’s offense registers a first down — even when they are trailing by three touchdowns in the third quarter. The man does this for an entire three-hour telecast. His wife just sits there and drinks her beer in silence. It is quite possibly the most obnoxious boisterous gesture I have ever witnessed in a bar. But then again, it was so memorably obnoxious that I’m
writing it about now and wondering when Notre Dame plays its opener because I might just have to see him in action again. With a cocktail for the sideshow, of course. It’s actually better watching than a football game on television.

One of the smallest species of tuna (and actually a member of the mackerel family), the albacore makes its home in every tropical and temperate ocean in the world, as well as the Mediterranean Sea. Prized for its delicate meat, which is enjoyed both fresh and canned, it is a hiJhly souJht-after ¿sh, popular in both the commercial and recreational ¿shinJ industries. A stunning, metallic dark blue on its backside, with glistening, silvery-white sides and underbelly, Thunnus alalunga (also called the long-¿n tuna) can reach lengths up to 4 feet and can weigh up to 80 pounds (though 2 feet long and 25 pounds is more typical). One of the fastest swimmers in the sea, it is a ¿sh designed for speed, with a stout, torpedo-shaped body and long stream-lined pectoral ¿ns. Though it belongs to a group of cold-blooded creatures, the

albacore has an atypical circulatory system that keeps its body temperature above the temperature of the water, allowing for the extra tissue oxygenation that promotes its agility: When its crescent-shaped tail pumps through the water, this ¿sh can move 50 mph. A female albacore lays her eggs in the open sea, where she releases two million eggs per season, in two sets, two days apart. If fertilized, the eggs will take two days to hatch. Though most are caught by the time they

are six or seven years old, in the wild, these tuna can survive 10 to 12 years. A highly migratory species, albacore swim long distances and travel in schools that can exceed 19 miles in width. In the 1orth Paci¿c, they begin their annual journey in the spring near the coast of Japan, moving to inshore waters off the U.S. Paci¿c coast by late summer in the fall, they reverse the journey. As a food source, albacore is a heart-healthy choice of protein, low in fat and cholesterol, but, like other ¿sh, it can accumulate methylmercury within its tissues — a poison produced from the burning of fossil fuels, namely coal, which can be passed to humans during consumption. The good news: Recent studies by NOAA indicate that tuna pulled from the waters of Washington, Oregon and California, all have much lower mercury levels today than in previous years.
