Ales & Ideas CCC instructor Kristin Shauck and colleagues explore creativity ASTORIA — Clatsop Community College (CCC) and the Fort George Brewery will hold the next free public event in the Ales & Ideas lecture series at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 28. The event will feature multimedia presentations by members of the CCC faculty and staff and CCC painting, drawing and design instructor Kristin Shauck will present “Creativity: The Mystery of the Muse.” The entire event takes place in the Fort George Lovell Showroom at the corner of 14th and Duane streets. How do artists summon the power of the creative muse? Why do artists experience creative blocks and what strategies do they use to overcome them? What is the role of mystery in the creative process, and what can artists learn from the strategies of others? Shauck will discuss her own process and share her research into the various approaches used by a range of artists and scholars from a variety of disciplines.

t’s no secret that I watch a lot of TV, both network and cable, but I prefer comedies and dramas to reality television. One show that should be on your radar, if it isn’t already, is AMC’s “The Walking Dead.” Based on the series of graphic novels of the same name, “The Walking Dead” is about a group of people struggling to survive

t’s almost the end of February. Though it’s the shortest month of the year, February can sometimes feel a thousand years long: Dark, midwinter days and rainy, cloudy skies can drag on. But luckily, spring is right around the corner. With flowers, garden planting and spring break in sight, take the time to cele-

Story and photos by AMY RYDING

It’s not every day you see someone stand on the bare back of a horse. It seems like an act that should invite a prompt buck and tumble to the ground. Alexandria Warnock doesn’t worry about that possibility.

Alexandria Warnock stands on Eva, a Friesian mare. A horse trainer for 15 years, Warnock has had no formal training; her method is completely intuitive.

When she stands on the back of a stallion, he remains docile and still. Add two mares looking on, and you have something of a horse miracle. “A lot of stud horses are like the dude hollering at you on the corner,” Warnock says. According to Judy Barton, owner of Random Creek Ranch in Seaside where Warnock trains, riding a stallion past mares is usually tricky, if not impossible. It can be very difficult to hold a stud horse’s attention when ladies are nearby. But King, Warnock’s Tennessee Walker, pays attention only to her. Warnock has been training horses for 15 of her 30 years, but she’s loved them all her life. “My parents had a couple of Appaloosas when I was born,” she says. “I always had wanted a horse, so every year for Christmas, that’s all I asked for.” Finally, when she was in the fourth grade, her parents bought her a horse of her own. Although she started training when she was 15, she says she broke a yearling when she was 12. “He was a horse we had, so I crawled on top of him. I guess I broke him,” she laughs. Warnock is modest about her talents, but her intuitive way with horses has garnered quite a bit of attention. “She’s been asked to enter into the Mustang Extreme Challenge, which is held in Texas every year,” Barton says. “You have 100 days to totally tame a wild mustang that’s never been touched, just brought in from the wild.” Warnock will meet her mustang this April. After 100 days, she and the other contestants will travel to Fort Worth, Texas, to perform with their tamed partners. Warnock has no formal training; her method is completely intuitive. Although she wouldn’t call it horse whispering, essentially, she speaks equine. “The horse will tell you what it’s good at,” she says. “They like

certain things, like people do.” She’s been studying internationally renowned horse clinician Clinton Anderson’s videos and plans to eventually train with him. Founder of Downunder Horsemanship, Anderson advocates a natural approach when working with horses. “You treat the horse like the horse would treat another horse,” Warnock says. Her methods engender a great deal of trust and affection in the animals she trains. Horses love her. When she stands near the gate of the barn, two mares come over and

Warnock stands out as a trainer because “she’s able to read every horse for exactly what they need, and she trains individually,” Barnes says. “I swear she can ride anything.” Although most trainers are breed-specific, Warnock works with a wide variety of horses. She currently has a quarter horse, a Thoroughbred, a Tennessee Walker and a Friesian in training. Since breeds vary widely in temperament and learning dispositions, this is no small feat. When she rides, Warnock forgoes a saddle and uses just a simple halter to guide her horses. “They tell me I got Velcro on my butt,” she laughs. For her, riding is

under one of the best farriers in Portland,” Barnes says. “As far as I’m concerned, I think she’s probably the best farrier we have in the area.” Being a farrier involves more than just nailing on horseshoes. The trade requires extensive knowledge of horse anatomy and gait. Having a farrier and trainer all in one is useful. Many training sessions come to a halt when horses develop problems with their gaits. Most trainers have to wait for a farrier to arrive before work can continue. Warnock can fix the problem and keep going. “I learn something every day from her,” Barnes says, “and I’ve been riding since I was 8 years old. You never stop learning if you’re really a horseman.”

Peninsula Arts Center Celtic musicians John Weed and Stuart Mason in concert LONG BEACH, Wash. — John Weed and Stuart Mason play traditional tunes and songs that explore the musical connections between Ireland and America, with tastes of Scotland, Canada and more. On fiddle, guitar, mandola and banjo they bridge the Atlantic to recreate a lost magic that resonates with the listener of today.

The result is an old-time Irish fiddling style that complements his forays into bluegrass, swing and other American music. A classically trained violinist, he leverages his understanding of the instrument to coax emotion from every tune. Weed has returned to Ireland many times to hone his skills and collect tunes at their source. Mason was born in the hills of West Virginia and has been

The

Seaside

Jazz I Festival

“If music be the food of love, play on,” Duke Orsino says in Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night.” Perhaps no form of music exemplifies the “food of love” better than jazz, and there is no better place to feast on the genre’s many forms than at the upcoming Seaside Jazz Festival. This year marks the 30th annual celebration of music, dancing, food and good times. “Our mission is to make sure as many people as possible are exposed to OKOM (Our Kind of Music) in the hopes that they too will embrace this original American art form,” says Ruth Johnson, the festival’s co-director. “For people who have never been to the festival before, I tell them it is just a lot of fun. We have top quality musicians coming from across the United States and from Canada, and they provide 24 hours of live entertainment. We have great dance floors, so if you like to dance, this

‘We have great dance floors, so if you like to dance, this is the place to be.’ is the place to be,” Johnson says. “Most importantly, you will meet some of the nicest people ever. Jazz people are just a nice, fun-loving group of people.” This year’s musical celebration features traditional jazz as well as big band, zydeco, Cajun, ragtime and gospel, or in Johnson’s words, “just good music.” We Three, a lively trio featuring Danny Coots on drums, Jeff Barnhart on piano and Bob Draga on clarinet, will kick off the festivities on Thursday night at the Shilo Inn.

To give the younger generation a traditional taste of what could easily be called “joyous jazz,” Wally Warehouse Waifs will be giving special Friday performances at Broadway Middle School and Seaside Heights. There will be five venues, and this year’s 13 performers will rotate through each of them. Every venue offers food and drink but varies in size. For a quieter, more intimate experience, visit the Seaside Civic and Convention Center’s Riverview Room or the Shilo Inn. For those who want to dance the night away, the Elks Lodge and the convention center’s Necanicum and Pacific rooms will offer more of a party atmosphere. All venues are within walking distance of each other, but a free shuttle service will be available for those whose dancing feet may be weary. Behind the scenes, Cara Olson and her team of volunteers in the hospitality room have been cooking all the meals for the festival’s musicians for over 10 years. Many of the groups return every year, and seeing them again is always a highlight for Olson. “You get to know them,” she says. “It’s kind of like family coming home.” Finally conceding to years of pressure, Olson has put together a cookbook to sell at this year’s festival. This much-anticipated collection of recipes features dishes served at past jazz festivals, the biannual Wine Walk, and breakfast entrees from the monthly Downtown Development Board meetings Olson hosts in her home. There will also be a handful of family favorites her kids insisted she include. It will be available for purchase at the festival and

Story by DAN HAAG • Photos by ALEX PAJUNAS

16th annual Astoria event celebrates North Coast oral tradition

n 1998, North Coast commercial fishermen and women came together for a reunion of old friends and colleagues to share poems and stories. In the days of commercial fishing gone by, men and women would do the same, anchored alongside one another before the season got underway. They would read over radios when fishing was slow or during late nights at the cannery. With a desire to revive and revitalize this tradition, organizers decided to gather in Astoria once a year on the last weekend in February to pres10 | February 21, 2013 | coastweekend.com

ent original work. Dubbed the FisherPoets Gathering, it became a way for the commercial fishing community to honor one another and the memory of those who had gone before. The fishing industry is closely associated with the past and present of the North Coast. Like all fishing communities, Astoria remains proud of its fishing heritage. Established near the mouth of the Columbia River, it was the hub of commercial salmon fishing in the 19th and early 20th centuries. With thousands of resident fishermen

and scores of canneries lining the river, the town’s identity was linked to the salmon industry. As salmon populations in the Columbia River dwindled, many commercial fishermen relocated seasonally to Alaskan waters. The Fisher Poets Gathering – which takes place Friday, Saturday and Sunday, Feb. 22 to 24 – honors the history of Pacific Coast fishing, as well as those currently living the fishing life. Besides poetry, the weekend will feature films, workshops and music. During this

three-day celebration, audiences are given a rare insight into the closeknit culture of the contemporary fishing community. The Gathering’s oral tradition combines a new generation of poets and audiences, and it has evolved into a vibrant art form. It retains the character of yesteryear while discussing more modern themes relating to the fishing industry. It is not uncommon to hear fisherpoets examine ideas on sustainability, concerns about the fishing industry’s future, and its relationship with the modern demands of the 21st century. 2013 marks the 16th year of the FisherPoets Gathering in Astoria, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The event brings together renowned fisherpoets and musicians from around the North Coast. Familiar names include Lorrie Haight of Long Beach, Wash., Victoria Stoppiello of Nehalem, David Densmore of Astoria, and the Brownsmead Flats of Brownsmead. The gathering also welcomes talented fisherpoets from all points of North America such as Alaska, California, Maine, Massachusetts and British Columbia. In all, 70 fisher poets from 11 states and Canada will travel thousands of miles to gather for a chance to read poems, sing songs and connect with their peers. “It’s a testament to the love commercial fishermen feel for this work and the connection we have to one another,” said event founder Jon Broderick. “Many of these people travel from so far away, largely at their own expense, to participate. We love building bridges between coasts.” The program includes a wide variety of performances including original songs, essays, riddles and poems. Heavily examined are the inherent dangers of fishing, which often inspire stories and poems centering on spiritual elements. Each piece is delivered by men and women determined to keep their oral tradition alive while illustrating the abiding love they feel for a life that can be at once heartbreaking and rewarding. Traditional types of stories can be heard at the Gathering, ranging from comedic to somber. There are graphic accounts of peril at sea, legends of buried treasure, melancholy love songs of a sailor, odes to herring scales and ponderings on the thoughts of various marine creatures. A reoccurring theme is the fisherman’s close relationship with the natural world. One such example was delivered by late Gathering participant Harrison “Smitty” Smith of Long Beach, Wash. Smitty’s poetry garnered him acclaim, thoughtfully blending humor with environmental stewardship. “He killed a lot of fish during his life, but also took time to look through their eyes,” Broderick said. “One of his poems considers jellyfish, a real nuisance to fishermen in southeast Alaska where they can foul nets and sting eyes: ‘What good this critter to the earth? / Does it have a single worth? / Well, maybe, perhaps, possibly, the jellyfish asks the same of me.’ Smitty had deep empathy for creation.” The FisherPoets Gathering has grown considerably since its fledgling event at the Wet Dog Café in 1998. After starting with just a couple of venues that year, 2013 will feature multiple venues for audiences to choose from: the Wet Dog Café, Baked Alaska, the Astoria Event Center, The Voodoo Lounge, the Columbian Theater, Fort George Brewery’s Lovell Showroom, Clemente’s restaurant, the Cannon Beach Art Association Gallery, the Columbia River Maritime Museum, the Gearshack, and KALA Gallery. “The growth has been a group effort,” Broderick said. “The great thing about the Gathering is that we never had to persuade anyone. It was eagerly received and supported from day one.” The 70 poets participating is up from the original 40 in 1998. “The

‘It’s a testament to the love commercial fishermen feel for this work and the connection we have to one another.’

poets that come have heard about us largely by word-of-mouth. In 1998, I placed an ad in an Alaska magazine asking for poets and got a nice response,” Broderick said. “While we’ve had a big bump in poets, it’s the increase in audience numbers that has been astounding. We felt like we were taking a huge risk with two venues, now we’re almost in over our heads. It’s fantastic.” Broderick and his fellow committee members decided the Gathering would give fishermen and women an important outlet. “The idea is similar to the western cowboy culture,” he said. “They would gather together after long hours of hard work and share tall-tales in the bunkhouse.” The Gathering centers on occupational poetry, which give audiences a glimpse at the everyday work of commercial fishermen, from the mundane to the dangerous. “It’s occupational poetry, or someone writing about their work,” Broderick said. “Work is what everyone spends most of their day doing, and it’s good to share that. There’s too much poetry written about love and not enough about work.” Above all, the Gathering is a chance for participants and audiences to enjoy the opportunity to connect and reflect as they listen to poetry. “More than anything, we don’t take this too seriously,” Broderick said. “This should be fun. It’s a chance to celebrate life’s work and each other, and the opportunities to do that during the day are few-and-far-between.” To learn about the FisherPoets Gathering schedule of events, learn about how to participate, donate, or become an event volunteer, log onto www.fisherpoets.org OP.T Jay Speakman, left, of Gearhart, and Jon Broderick, of Cannon Beach, play a duet at the Astoria Event Center stage.

Welcome to the 16th Annual FisherPoets Gathering!

or the record, I must confess that, though I’ve and fishermen must be resourceful because out on the ocean or out on the

now picked a few sockeye in Bristol Bay, I am not a fisherman. I’m here because I met fisherpoets Moe Bowstern and Joanna Reichhold at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko several years ago, and they invited me to come out to the FisherPoets Gathering. As the Coyboys and fishermen token cowboy poet, I thought I’d show both represent that tiny up in Astoria and find lots of differences between cowboys and fraction of the populafishermen and be kind of the human tion who try to provide equivalent of a dog among cats. Boy, food for the world in a was I ever mistaken. The more I learn, the more I realize how similar we are, couple of the riskiest and I’ve come back each year ever occupations: battling since. weather, government Cowboys and fishermen both represent regulation, rising costs, that tiny fraction of the population who try to provide food for the world in a couple of fluctuating markets and the riskiest occupations: battling weather, consumers who undergovernment regulation, rising costs, stand very little about fluctuating markets and consumers who understand very little about what it takes to what it takes to deliver deliver food to their plates. Both cowboys food to their plates.

range there is little likelihood someone is going to happen along and get them out of a jam. Like the men and women in the ranching culture I come from, the men and women in the commercial fishing culture are proud of what they do. Not from arrogance, but from the adventure of providing people a wholesome and healthy food as a result of the risk and sacrifice they willingly make, of continuing the rich traditions of their fishing heritage, of being tested by the elements and the mighty ocean, and being tempered by exhilarating success and heartbreaking loss. The more I learn about fishermen and their lifestyle, the more I respect the spirit of the men and women who go to sea every year. So when I was invited to welcome you here to the 16th annual FisherPoets Gathering, I was glad for the chance. Though their perspective and lifestyle may be different than mine or yours, their stories are universal. Whether you fish, ranch or face life in the urban areas of this country, it all comes back to our relationship with people, the good work we do and the natural forces around us. I’ve never spoken to anyone from any lifestyle who didn’t find a connection with the FisherPoets. Enjoy yourselves. Thanks for coming. Ron McDaniel Sulphur Springs, Arkansas

How to navigate the FisherPoets Gathering

everal years ago, fisher-poet and veteran

Bering Sea crabber Toby Sullivan stood, engines idling, on a street corner nearby. He was looking at the FisherPoets Gathering program and scratching his head. “This is getting to be like fishing,” he said. “I can’t decidewhere to go next.”

Since then the FisherPoets Gathering has grown from three reading venues to six, and Toby has left crabbing for setnetting in Uganik Bay. Whether you hunker down and let the fisherpoets come to you or hustle between venues like a highliner, you’re going to hear great stuff. Your $15 event button, available starting Friday afternoon at the FPG Gearshack next to Fulio’s at 1149 Commercial St., gets you into all venues all weekend. Buttons will also be sold at venue doors. While you’re waiting for things to fire up Friday, catch the film at the Columbian Theater on ocean acidification or listen to folks warm up at KALA gallery’s open mic. Then go find a seat someplace. The Wet Dog Café, the alternately raucous then rapt spiritual home of the FisherPoets Gathering since its beginning in 1998, seats as many as 250 fans and offers its own beers and local, wild seafood and shellfish. Minors are welcome until 10 p.m. The Voodoo Room – intimate, quirky and often crowded – seats a lot fewer than it tends to hold and offers pizza and drinks to fisherpoet fans over 21. The Astoria Event Center, from which KMUN broadcasts live both nights, boasts the most seats, raised theater seating in the far back and a big stage. Ask those guys talking at the bar by the door to keep it down a little. KALA gallery, the FisherPoets Gathering’s newest venue, this year featuring Pat Dixon’s commercial fishing photography, offers an attentive, intimate venue for a change. Finnish food and a full bar. Clemente’s restaurant, four generations deep in Columbia River gillnetting, offers up to 150 fans wild seafood, fresh shellfish and a chance to join kindred spirits of all ages Friday night in opposition to Pebble Mine. Fort George Brewery’s Lovell Showroom, with seats for 100 fans, provides a performance-focused venue with wine and its own beers for purchase. Minors are welcome until 10 p.m.

Don’t sleep in Saturday. You’ll miss writing workshops at Baked Alaska, issues workshops at the Columbia River Maritime Museum, Troll Radio Theater at Clatsop Community College’s Performing Arts Center, Dave Densmore’s invitation to coffee aboard his boat the F/V Cold Stream in the east mooring basin, the fisherman’s breakfast at Coffee Girl and a look at the old Hanthorn Cannery at Pier 39. Just before lunch enjoy the peculiar fish-vision of legendary Ketchikan artist Ray Troll at the Columbia Maritime Museum. Budget time to drop by the FisherPoets Gathering Gearshack for a look at the silent auction items. Buy a CD by that fisherpoet you liked last night. Saturday afternoon relive the adventures and misadventures of some of the commercial fishing industry’s best raconteurs and raconteuses at the Astoria Event Center’s “Story Circle,” dash to the Columbian Theater for more on ocean acidification then another quirky Ray Troll presentation, have a go yourself at KALA’s open mic before finding yourself a seat at your favorite venue to kick off another night of fisherpoetry as authentic as a flounder is flat. You’ve come this far, so swallow hard and enter the on-site poetry contest closing the Astoria Event Center. How hard can a little poem be? If you win, we’ll publish you on the fisherpoets.org website. Not done yet? Dance yer ass off at KALA gallery or rock out to the Ratfish Wranglers at the Voodoo Room until the lights go out. Then join us all Sunday morning at the Astoria Event Center to say farewell. Next year we’ll do it all again. Inchallah.

SilverSalmonGrille

The Mouth visits this local mainstay with its must-see bar, but finds some prices too high

aving grown up on the coast, my memory is printed with the everchanging face of Astoria, each vestige a little antique postcard from the past. I can remember when the corner of 11th and Commercial streets was a place called the Brass Rail, until a fire swept it up in 1997. Before that it was a restaurant owned by the Thiel Brothers. Pacific Pizza and Pasta called the space home for a few years, I remember, and then in 2001, Jeff and Laurie Martin purchased and renovated it into the popular local eatery it is today. All this description encapsulates the two things I love about Astoria the most: its rich history, and the tireless efforts of its community members to preserve it, update it and celebrate it. Now that I’ve waxed nostalgic, it’s time to focus on the food. We were greeted warmly on the late, rainy Friday afternoon that my dining companions and I visited and presented a warm basket of bread almost immediately. As I’ve said before, I appreciate it when restaurants still offer this to their customers, as it seems that so many don’t anymore. When our hostess noticed the basket empty, she immediately placed another on our table, without a moment of hesitation.

I ordered a martini, one of the restaurant’s signature drinks (by the way, if you’ve never seen the bar at the Silver Salmon Grille – which is 130 years old, beautifully refinished and rumored, according to the restaurant’s website, to have a checkered past – it’s a must-see). I was unfortunately a bit disappointed when my drink arrived; the drink itself was served in a glass cone nestled in a bowl of ice to keep it cold, but during transport to the table it looked as though half of it had spilled in the ice. As an appetizer we chose blackened steak tips, dusted with Cajun spices and served with caramelized onions and bleu cheese dipping sauce. They were completely out of this world: tender, juicy, succulent and so pleasingly spiced. Appetizer or not, one could order these with a salad alongside and make a meal of it. Next up was a cup of smoked salmon chowder. The soup base itself seemed very similar to the one that accompanies clam chowder, and was nicely done – not too thick nor too thin – but the

chowder was overall lacking flavor. The smoked salmon was a little bland, not the robust sweet and salty punch usually found in smoked salmon, and the dish could have been assisted by some other additions … corn, perhaps? It was not altogether un-tasty, but in the future I would order their regular clam chowder over it. My entrée of the silver salmon supreme, filled with Dungeness crab, bay shrimp and smoked gouda, was unfortunately a little average; still good, but I did not feel it merited its pricetag of $28. The salmon was a bit overcooked and tough, and the pungence of the smoked gouda overshadowed the subtle sea flavor of the fish. It was accompanied by garlic mashed potatoes, which were creamy, smooth and piped onto the plate in perfect shapes, but they were room temperature. A fellow diner ordered King Neptune’s linguine, with Dungeness crab, salmon, halibut, tiger prawns and manila clams and sauteed with spinach, mushrooms and fresh herbs in a roasted red pepper chive garlic cream. The portion size was very

Rating: ★★★

PRICES: The prices are on the higher end of what I expect to find in this area, ranging from $18 up to $35. I felt the price of the silver salmon supreme, at $28, was too high.

ATMOSPHERE: Although the fish murals and art from local artists is a nice touch, the interior is rather dark and feels a little stuffy and dated.

SERVICE: Our server seemed hurried, although the restaurant wasn’t terribly busy, and we waited a long time for the check to be delivered. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: There are a few vegetarian options, including two pastas and salads. DRINKS:Traditional soft drinks and coffee are available, but the real star of the show is the impressive bar, and a lengthy list of beer and wine from both here and abroad.

ample, and the plate was overflowing with seafood, and though very tasty the cream sauce was very rich. Two people could have easily split the dish. A third entrée of the beer-battered halibut fish and chips with steak fries was absolutely perfect, with a pleasing crunch and excellent flavor, and should be recommended to visitors who are looking for “good fish and chips.” I have eaten at the Silver Salmon many times

‘The beer-battered halibut fish and chips with steak fries was absolutely perfect, with a pleasing crunch and excellent flavor, and should be recommended to visitors who are looking for ‘good fish and chips.’’ and had many good experiences, but on this particular evening our service could have been better. Our server seemed abrupt and hurried, although the restaurant didn’t appear to be terribly busy. As a former server myself, I was coached to always “check in” on my customers a few minutes after they’d received their meals, to ensure everything was to their liking. We didn’t see our server for most of the meal and weren’t offered dessert (which looked very appetizing, if the dessert platter on display was any indication). In fact, we had to ask more than once for the bill. I have not found poor service to be typical of this establishment, which is why this was noteworthy for me. Overall, the Silver Salmon Grille has earned a spot as a local mainstay in my mental postcards of Astoria, and it is a good choice.

Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum Pruning workshop and plant clinic kick off garden and park facelift ILWACO, Wash. — Washington State University (WSU) Master Gardeners from Pacific and Grays Harbor counties announced a partnership with the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, 115 S.E. Lake St., to revitalize the museum’s Discovery Garden. WSU Master Gardeners Rachel Gana, Kelly Rupp, Bev Arnoldy and Shawn Stern approached Betsy Millard, the museum’s executive director, in August 2012, with a proposal to improve and extend the current Discovery Garden and Mariner’s Memorial Park. With approval from the WSU Master Gardener Program and Museum Board, garden plans are now being confirmed for 2013 and beyond. In addition to development of themed subplots in the garden itself, the project plan will include four free gardening workshops each year, coupled with plant clinics led by the WSU Master Gardeners, who will research plant questions and problems

A broad selection of plant species will be chosen to demonstrate what grows well, where such plants thrive and how to effectively garden in local conditions. “This project will help realize the full potential for this garden space, connecting our focus on regional culture and

heritage with an outdoor experience that celebrates the unique flora of this area,” said Millard. This multi-year project will officially kick off from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 23, with a plant clinic and a pruning workshop that will include hands-on practice pruning in the museum garden. The workshop is free and open to the public. The one-hour workshop kicks off the day’s activities, with pruning practice and plant clinic going from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Master Gardener Rachel Gana will lead the pruning demonstration. If you are planning to practice pruning on the garden’s shrubs and trees, bring your favorite pruning tools, dress for the weather and bring your own snacks. Plant questions or problems? Come ask a Master Gardener at the plant clinic. If possible, bring samples of your plant problem. For more information, contact Arnoldy at bevarnoldy@gmail.com

ROSBURG, Wash. — Washington’s women farmers will soon have a unique opportunity to attend a locally-based statewide agriculture conference offering speakers, practical advice and collaborative discussion about how to improve farm management skills in addition to networking opportunities with other women “farmtrepreneurs.” “Growing Your Successful Farm Business” will be held Saturday, Feb. 23, at 21 different locations throughout the state, including at Johnson Park (the old Rosburg School), at 30 Rosburg School Road. The conference begins at 8 a.m. with a light breakfast, and ends at 4 p.m., with a catered lunch available for $8. “Women are uniquely tasked with the demands of farm, family, even a job, which can make long-distance travel a challenge,” said Washington State University (WSU) Douglas County Extension Director and conference chair Margaret Viebrock. “This new approach allows us to offer our headline speaker at all locations, while also giving each site the opportunity to customize programming to address the farming challenges unique to that region.” Keynote speaker Trini Campbell, owner of Riverdog Farm in Guinda, Calif., will share her experiences in farming

Campbell will discuss her strategies for facing farming’s multiple challenges of managing labor, financial planning and dealing with crop loss and market instability, while still maintaining a balance with family obligations. Another session focuses on helping producers become better prepared financially to take advantage of opportunities to grow as well as survival techniques during economic downturns. This session, led by a financial expert in each location, will focus on working capital and what it means to individual farms. According to Viebrock, women producers have the skills to grow wonderful crops and

In addition, a local producer panel at each location will discuss their own personal risks, challenges and opportunities, including the strategies and financial tools they use to manage risk.

The Barn Community Playhouse Funny, poignant plays explore aging and memory TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) and TLC Federal Credit Union present “Memory,” TAPA’s third production of the 2012-13 season. “Memory” consists of two oneact plays, both exploring memory and growing older in different ways. In a wonderful mix of the theater, these plays offer comedy, drama and bittersweet moments. We all struggle with memory from time to time. It’s something that can happen no matter what age we are. However, as we grow older we find that memory can be a bit elusive at times. Memories can be precious and vivid then foggy and haunting. “I Can’t Remember Any-

thing” is the story of two neighbors, portrayed by Robert Kratz and Sandra Koops. She is a widow whose life seems to be stuck since her husband’s death

‘Memory’ Opening 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22 The Barn Community Playhouse 1204 Ivy Ave., Tillamook 503-842-3999 www.tillamooktheater.com $15 adults $10 seniors/students $40 family of four and he is the gruff best friend of her late husband. Both often share meals together to keep each other company and reminisce of times gone by. The two old friends trade lighthearted banter and stinging exchanges to express their conflicting views of “life’s truths.” At the same time, they reveal to us their enduring mutual affection and the importance of companionship as the shadow of mortality lengthens. “I Can’t Remember Anything” was written by beloved Ameri-

can playwright Arthur Miller. Many have considered him to be one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century. Other noteworthy works by Miller include “Death of a Salesman” and “The Crucible.” “The 75th” is set in a restaurant for the occasion of the 75th reunion of a highschool class, of which only two members remain, portrayed by Terri Winkle and Bill Farnum. Now in their 90s, the two mistake each other for several other classmates and can’t quite remember their real identities. As they put the pieces of the puzzle together, their memories become clearer and they recall their old friendships. The past begins to clarify and emerge through touching, funny and revealing banter. The play shows us how the decisions and actions we make so casually in our youth follow us for the rest of our lives, and how significant those decisions and actions truly are. “The 75th” was written by Israel Horovitz, who wrote his first play when he was 17. Since then he has written more than 70
