All professional and amateur artists encouraged to submit work ASTORIA — The Astoria Music Festival announces its first Poster Art Contest. The contest is open to all artists, professional and amateur. The winning image will creatively depict subject matter harmonious with the festival, be it music, composers, Astoria, the landscape — whatever the imagination evokes. Highlights of the June 2015 Astoria Music Festival include Gaetano Donizetti’s opera “Mary Stuart,” Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera “The Magic Flute,” works by Ludwig Van Beethoven and a celebration of the 150th anniversary of composer Jean Sibelius’ birth. The winning artist will be awarded $500 and two Festival Platinum Cards for entry to all events of the Astoria Music Festival, and the winning art will be highlighted in 3,000 festival programs distributed throughout the festival in June. The official poster will be reproduced for sale in a limited commemorative edition of 100 signed copies. The poster will be featured in festival promotional materials, distributed at all events and will become property of Astoria Music Festival. In the past, art for the poster has been commis-
sioned by well-known West Coast artists, such as Royal Nebeker and Noel Thomas. This is the Festival’s 13th season and it has grown into a major cultural event, not only on the North Coast, in Oregon and the Northwest, but it is also acknowledged throughout the United States. Organizers hope this poster contest will be an opportunity to unite music and the visual arts as an inspiring showcase of the rich regional creative community. The winner of the poster art contest will be announced March 27. The top 10 finalists’ art will be displayed in a Peo-
ple’s Choice exhibit at the Astoria Music Festival Office/Tempo Gallery during the Astoria Second Saturday Art Walk on April 2.

Friends honor the memory of Royal Nebeker with a scholarship fund for arts education
T
The night after renowned artist and beloved teacher Royal Nebeker died, a few of his friends gathered at the Shelburne Inn. “I proposed a toast to Royal,â€? said Dwight Caswell, “which me struck as a little odd because he was a Mormon who didn’t drink.â€? All the same, Caswell, along with Shelburne Inn owners David Campiche and Laurie Anderson, sought to honor a departed friend. An idea struck Caswell and he shared it with the group: a scholarship fund in Nebeker’s name. (Full disclosure: Caswell and Campiche are regular contributors to Coast Weekend.) “Royal was so important to the art community here,â€? said Caswell. Nebeker, whose serene, colorful paintings where shown worldwide, taught at Clatsop Community College for over 35 years. “He helped put together a world-class program,â€? said Richard Rowland, a ceramics instructor at CCC who worked alongside Nebeker since the 1990s. “He taught the way that he painted. He was able to sort of have this ... intimacy with real contact, both with the students and with his own paintings.â€? “Royal was such a great teacher, and he was so involved with his students,â€? said Caswell. “We thought he was such D JRRG WHDFKHU DQG KDG LQĂ€ X enced so many people that it ZRXOG EH D Âż WWLQJ PHPRULDO WR him to have an ongoing scholarship that would go to students
who were interested in the arts, to take art courses.â€? About a week after Nebeker passed, Caswell proposed the scholarship idea to Nebeker’s wife, Sarah, a Clatsop County commissioner. Âł, WKRXJKW LW ZDV D Âż QH LGHD ´ said Sarah Nebeker. “Anytime students can be assisted with education — especially in the arts — I’m all for it.â€? That the fund would be for scholarships, as opposed to grants, appealed to Sarah, who noted Royal’s rare combination of creative talent and his ability to convey art’s workings to others. Âł5R\DO ZDV GHÂż QLWHO\ D Âż QH educator in the arts,â€? she said. “That was very important to him, as well as producing art. He felt a responsibility to build his community and its awareness in the arts and culture, and he did.â€? With mentions of the scholarship fund in funeral literature and in Nebeker’s obituary, donations began trickling in. At press time, Caswell said around 20 people have given almost $2,000. “Oddly enough, about three-quarters of the donations came from outside Clatsop County,â€? Caswell said. “Royal KDG DQ LQĂ€ XHQFH EH\RQG &ODW sop County. Most of the money came from the Portland area — people who’d seen his art there, or who had studied with him.â€? Still, Caswell hopes that $2,000 is only the beginning. And so, in the same room where the idea was hatched, Caswell, along with Campiche, Anderson, Sarah Nebeker and others,

Diners will also be encouraged to bid on donated artworks in both live and silent auctions. Finding artists to contribute their work, Caswell said, was a breeze. “Nobody I have asked has paused for more than about a split-second,â€? Caswell said. “Everybody just thinks it’s a great idea. We’ve had a tremendous response.â€? For Caswell, the fondness for Nebeker within the local arts community has resulted in almost an embarrassment of riches. “My only problem has been to avoid insulting people by not asking them because there are
so many artists who would like to contribute,â€? Caswell said. “But on the other hand, this is going to happen again. “Our goal is to raise at least $30,000 eventually,â€? he added. “This is not a one-shot thing. We’re going to keep doing this year-in and year-out until we get a substantial amount of money. Basically we’re looking to create an endowment.â€? 7KRXJK VSHFLÂż F WHUPV ² like when the scholarship(s) will become available, and how

A good way to do this is to combine them in a hash, puree or soup, such as in this roasted garlic, turnip and sweet potato soup.

Heat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with foil and mist with cooking spray. 2. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato and turnip. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Spread the sweet potatoes and turnip in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, in the same bowl, toss the garlic, shallots and thyme with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. After the sweet potatoes and turnip have roasted for 15 minutes, use a spatula to turn the pieces.

Add the garlic and shallot mixture to the pan, then roast for another 20 minutes. 4. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the stock and wine and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the roasted vegetable mixture and simmer until the sweet potatoes are very tender, about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Working in batches if necessary, transfer the mixture to a blender. Using caution when blending hot liquids, blend until smooth. 5. Return the soup to the pan and reheat for several minutes, if needed, over medium. Stir in the vinegar, then season with salt and pepper. Add water if soup is too thick.

History center opens textile exhibit ‘Blue’ Cannon Beach art show explores many concepts of blue CANNON BEACH — Attention textile artists, crafters, quilters and art enthusiasts: The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum will open “Blue,� a new textile exhibit this weekend. The exhibit will open with a reception at 6 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21. The reception will feature wine, hors d’oeuvres and music. The event is free, open to the public and sponsored by Center Diamond. While the museum features rotating history art exhibits, it shows at least one textile exhibit each year. Last year, the museum featured the work of a textile group out of Portland known as High Fiber Diet. The group of over 30 quilters includes artists located in southwestern Washington, western Oregon, and is part of the Columbia Fi-
berArts Guild. The group is committed to understanding the academic principles of art and integrating them into their individual creative processes. High Fiber Diet’s fall 2014 exhibit was a huge hit, but it was only available for a limited time. The new exhibit will feature only one of the previous artists and is a departure in scope from the previous show. Titled simply, “Blue� is an exploration of the color and concept of blue. Blue is more than just a color on the spectrum between violet and green; it is the color of the clear sky, the sea, of clothing, cars and flowers — but more than that, it is a concept. As the group explains, “Conceptually, the word blue can inspire thoughts of a blue moon, the infin-
ity of a blue sky, the darkest depths of the blues, and the foot-tapping beat of the blues music that engages our souls and soothes our hearts.� “Blue� includes 15 pieces of varying scope and inspiration, but not skill. As one visitor said, “This is the difference between quilting and creating art.� Each piece speaks to the diverse and artistic background of each artist. For more information, visit www.cbhistory.org or call 503-436-9301.

Hoffman Center hosts author Lauren Kessler MANZANITA — Lauren Kessler will read from her book “Counterclockwise: My Year of Hypnosis, Hormones, Dark Chocolate and Other Adventures in the World of Anti-Aging” at the Hoffman Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21. “Counterclockwise” falls into the immersion journalism or guinea pig journalism categories that Kessler followed in two previous works. Not only does she do extensive research with experts, Kessler uses herself as a test case for much of the subject she’s writing about. The Wall Street Journal chose “Counterclockwise” as one of “year’s best books for the road ahead.” Describing her book as informative and witty, the WSJ added, “journalist Lauren KesVOHU VHWV RXW WR ¿QG µWKH EHVW UHsearch and the worst scams in the wannabe-fountain-of-youth marketplace.” Her previous works include “My Teenage Werewolf: A Mother, A Daughter, A Journey Through the Thicket of AdolesFHQFH´ 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW %RRN Award winner “Dancing with Rose”; Washington Post bestseller “Clever Girl”; Los Angeles Times bestseller “The Happy %RWWRP 5LGLQJ &OXE´ DQG 2UHJRQ %RRN $ZDUG ZLQQHU ³6WXEborn Twig.” Kessler has had articles published in nationwide publications such as The New York

Oysterville Community Club hosts spring Town Hall and Lecture Series on Thursdays OYSTERVILLE, Wash. — Following the success of its spring and fall lecture series last year, the Oysterville Community Club will host another Town Hall and Lecture Series this spring. Each lecture in the series is free and open to the public; the sessions take place at 10 a.m. every other Thursday through May 7 in the historic Oysterville Schoolhouse, located at 3322 School Road. “I had no idea that we would end up with both a spring and fall series last year and yet another spring series this year,� marvels organizer Diane Buttrell. “My original idea was to provide opportunities for our peninsula community to meet and talk with some of their amazing neighbors. Most of us probably aren’t aware of the broad range of experience and expertise we have in our very midst.� A year and over a score of talks later, Buttrell contin-
ues to express amazement at the depth and quality of the knowledge base in the local area. “Plus I’m astounded and JUDWLÂżHG WKDW VR PDQ\ SHRSOH are willing to share their insights and expertise with the rest of us,â€? she says. A $3 donation is suggested as a contribution toward the maintenance of the schoolhouse. The purpose of the Town Hall and Lecture Series is to offer enrichment through education, entertainment and encouragement, to preserve the historic schoolhouse, and to serve and celebrate the diverse achievements of the Long Beach Peninsula community. On Feb. 26, novelist and writing teacher Birdie Etchison will talk about “The How, Why and What of Writing,â€? which will cover how she got started, why she continued and what one needs to do to begin writing.
“I’ll also be talking about WKH EHQHÂżW RI ZULWLQJ ZRUNshops, and I’ll bring some materials for a hands-on writing experience if anyone is interested,â€? she says. Etchison has been writing for more than half a century and has 23 books in print. In addition, she has taught numerous writing workshops locally and in at least 10 other states. On March 12, author and historian Sydney Stevens will talk about “Putting the Story Back in History.â€? Stevens specializes in local history and says that the stories about people — how they lived, what was important to them, why they did what they did — are the aspects of history that VKH ÂżQGV PRVW LQWHUHVWLQJ “It’s the stories that illuminate all those long laundry lists of dates and places and events that we had to memorize back in those dear old Golden Rule Days,â€? she says.

ester Bill Lecture of Seaview will explore the history of forestry in southwest Washington as he discusses “The Peninsula Amid a Working Forest.� He will also describe how forestry both affects and enhances the tourist and recreational values of the Long Beach Peninsula and will touch upon his role in the ongoing restoration of 4,500 acres of the Ellsworth Creek watershed south of Parpala Road in Naselle. Poet Susan Holway’s topic for the April 23 session, “Oysterville, My Love,� will be a look at the tiny hamlet where she was born and raised “through prose and poetry, past and present.� For Holway, a graduate of the Oysterville School (which closed in 1957), giving a lecture in the historic old building is a bit like coming full circle. At the final lecture in the series on May 7, author and editor Maggie Stuckey will discuss “Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Book Publishing But Didn’t Know Who to Ask.� Based on her 30-plus years with major publishers, Stuckey will explain what agents do, what editors don’t do, who really makes the decisions, what’s expected of authors, and many other mysteries to do with the publishing world.

Gin Laughery, Robert Paulmenn, Kimberly Reed, Charles Schweigert, Christine Trexel and Constance Waisanen. “All of us participated in last year’s studio tour and are eager to promote the local art scene,” said Trexel, a book and paper artist. “We strongly encourage artists in all media to take part in this year’s tour.” More information, including the application to participate in the tour, is available at www.astoriaartists.org.

7RWH >WԥݜW@ verb 1. to carry, lug or haul, often something heavy noun 1. Tote bag: a large bag with a handle carried by hand or over the shoulder 2. Fishing: a container of any size and material — wood, plastic, metal or fiber — used to hold today’s catch on ice. Also used in the commercial transport of frozen fish in lieu of the cost of boxing the individual products. Origin: First introduced as a verb in 1677. Of unknown origin. A longstanding myth that “tote” was introduced in the 17th century from a West African language through the African slave trade by way of Virginia has been debunked by the Oxford English Dictionary for lack of evidence (See the Kikongo, tota, meaning pick up, the Kimbundu, tuta, meaning carry or the Swahili, tuta, to pile up). Tote bag first appears at the turn of the 20th century, following the word’s first appearance as a noun in 1884. “A fish tote is where the caught fish are stored before processing. ‘In the Tote’ is an on-line anthology of work by fisherpoets who have participated at the FisherPoets Gathering, collected and edited by fisherpoet and photographer Pat Dixon.” — fisherpoets.org

“Leaving” by Adam Selzer.
Five Minutes With ... ADAM SELZER Q&A by RYAN HUME Spend some time getting to know Adam Selzer, author, musician and founder of the Portland recording studio Type Foundry. The former frontman of Norfolk and Western will be reading (with live music) from his recent multimedia story collection, “Leaving,” at the Sou’Wester Lodge in Seaview, Washington, at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21. His current band, Alialujah Choir, recently released a new album, “Big Picture Show,” on Valentine’s Day. Could you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind the story “Art Garfunkel’s Old People,” which you will be reading at the Sou’Wester? It’s a story about a guy in
his mid-to-late 20s, which is an age when people start to realize what seems feasible and what is fantasy. There are a lot of books and movies chronicling the comingof-age period but not as
many about this age. It’s basically about coming to terms with one’s own realization regarding talents, desires and expectations. I think that may sound somewhat pretentious, but I’m not sure how else to say it. Not at all. Were you conscious of this in your late 20s, or did you have to get older to look back on it and see it as a transformative age? I was definitely conscious of it ... and the older I’ve gotten, the easier it gets to come to terms with some of those things. That’s one benefit of aging. I don’t worry about things as much as I used to, and I’m much better at appreciating the little things. I used to get really down about not living up to my own expectations about how I wanted things to be that were out of my control. But now I’m much better at appreciating what I have, and I don’t get disappointed when things don’t live up to ideals. It’s a much better place to be for me. Switching gears a little: Your last book of prose, “Ami, Go Home,” was a graphic novel. This new collection of stories, “Leaving,” is accompanied with two CDs of you reading the stories against ambient soundtracks. What does injecting other mediums into these stories do for you? How do you hope it affects the audience? The “Ami” book I always envisioned as a graphic novel. I never felt like the story would work as well

with just the written word. For the “Leaving” collection, I just thought it would be more interesting to add another aspect to the book because as an unpublished writer, putting something in print into the world, I felt like it could benefit from having something else, another element involved. Somewhat of a “something-to-hide-behind” concept. It makes it not just about me, which I like. But most importantly, I have such talented musician friends, when the idea came about, it seemed like an obvious choice to try and make it happen because I knew those guys would make some amazing music. I’m really honored that they are involved. So how did the idea come about of providing a soundtrack to each story? I recorded a project with the writer Rick Bass and Sellarondo a few years ago ... They came into my studio, and Rick read short stories while the band played behind him live. It was a really interesting idea and made the stories come to life in a new way. So, I sort of stole the idea from that, but I wanted the musicians to have free reign and surprise me; so I recorded myself reading the stories and handed them off. Each person’s music is completely different from all the rest, which is so great. Also, I listen to a lot of radio programs and am always fascinated at how much music can enhance a mood; so I suppose some of the inspiration came from that as well. I can definitely see old radio programs as an influence to this project. Since the book and CDs are released by Jealous Butcher Records, do you think the experience of
releasing a book on a record label was different than working with a traditional publisher? How so? I’ve never attempted to publish before, and the thought of sending out stories to literary journals seemed way too daunting and overwhelming. I know to be a serious writer that’s what you need to do, but I just don’t have any expectations about writing. I just wanted to put this out before I got too sick of it. It didn’t even occur to me to try and find a traditional publisher. That seems too legitimate for the scope of the project. I wanted it to be low-key, and, truth be told, I find it highly unlikely that anyone would want to publish these stories in this form from an unknown writer. I like the idea of it coming out this way, and hopefully it will find a small limited audience, and, if not, that’s totally fine with me. I guess it goes back to the earlier questions about expectations. I’m fine with releasing this in such a low-key manor. I’m not trying to make it anything more than just a small independent release. I just want to have fun with it playing these shows and having a reason to write and spend time with my friends who are playing with me. What’s on the horizon? My band Alialujah Choir is released a record Feb 14; that’s the most exciting thing. And we’re doing some shows with Neko Case in April. As for writing, I haven’t been doing much of that. I’d love to do another tour with the graphic novel (I did some shows for that in Australia last year). I’ve been pretty busy recording people in the studio, so that’s where most of my time is going.
