CANNON BEACH — The winner of the 2014 Cannon Beach Arts Association Individual Artist Grant, Peter Greaver, will present his year-long project in an exhibition.

Hemlock St. Greaver spent the last year exploring the hidden world RI IDLULHV LQ D UHĂ€HFWLRQ RQ the mystical aspects of the natural world. He will show a collection of fairy houses, mixed-media work and two-dimensional work. “Raised in a family of artists, I have been drawing since I could hold a crayon. Many of my earliest drawings are images of elves and fairies,â€? Greaver explains about his early inspiration for the project. “These fairy houses are inspired by Victorian fairy painting and vintage children’s books, as well as older folklore. I am also inspired by old Chinese spirit houses: miniature houses where the spirit of ancestors were welcomed and remembered,â€? Greaver writes in his artist statement. Painter Carl Annala will be exhibiting a series of paintings of the forest to accompany

Coastal Life Story and photos by ANDREW TONRY

One Seaside woman leads others in cutting out sugar

ennifer Visser was dealing with lower-back pain. On the advice of a naturopath, she went on a cleanse, cutting sugar from her diet. The results were remarkable. “Three days later my A.D.D. cleared up,” Visser says. “I was amazed. I’ve never, ever been able to focus like that. It was incredible. I was hooked.” And while it took a little longer, her back pain subsided as well. “It changed my life,” Visser says. Now she’s spreading the word. In January, Visser will lead a 10day sugar detox challenge. It’s free, open to discerning eaters and dabblers alike. The event is associated with Visser’s business — she is a licensed massage therapist and proprietor of The Healthy Hub, a massage and wellness center opening in Seaside Jan. 2. The effort is too an extension of Visser’s effervescent, compassionate and giving personality. It is also the latest iteration of a series of food and cooking classes Visser has held in Seaside. Last year, with the aforementioned naturopath in tow, Visser presented “Diet For Disease Prevention,” to a packed Bob Chisholm Community Center. She was inspired by the turnout. “I thought the best way to carry the momentum and help them was to hold a cooking class,” she says. “I held three cooking classes on how to cook without grains or soy or dairy or legumes to make delicious meals and make believers out of people.” Now she’s offering, in a sense, the graduate class: sugar detox. “I chose this sugar detox because people feel the best when they do it,” Visser says. “Nobody

does this and is like: ‘that was a waste of time.’ Everyone gets something from it. Whether it’s better sleep, lost weight, better skin, thinking better or decreased allergies, everything gets better.” Visser will hold an introductory meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Jan. 5 at Seaside Coffee House.

‘Nobody does this and is like: “that was a waste of time.” Everyone gets something from it. Whether it’s better sleep, lost weight, better skin, thinking better or decreased allergies, everything gets better.’

“I’ll go over how to stock your pantry, recipes, meal planning, all that stuff then give folks a week to prepare,” Visser explains. For the purposes of this cleanse, she adds, having time to get ready is important, as it entails more than just abstaining from sweets. “In this detox, sugar is anything that converts into sugar in your body,” Visser explains. For example, some seemingly benign foods — like grains and legumes — are out. “A baked potato is just as high in sugar as soda pop, conversion-wise,” she says. Visser’s version of the sugar-free diet leans heavily on meats and vegetables. The detox challenge begins Monday, Jan. 12. It will kick off with a sugar-free dinner at Seaside Coffee House at 6:30 p.m. Over the course of the 10 days, Visser — who’ll participate in the detox as well — intends to stay engaged online and in per-

son, offering tips and encouragement. As she’s done the cleanse three times before, she knows it’s not easy. “Thirty-three percent of people actual do go through sugar withdrawals,” Visser says. “The withdrawals aren’t anything major — you’re not going to die or anything. But it can last for two to five days.” Symptoms include headaches, fatigue and irritability. “That’s why you need the support of the community,” she adds. “It may seem extreme but to get the extreme results you’ve got to

go all the way.” Visser confidently maintains that the sugar detox offers much more than run-ofthe-mill dieting. “People are thinking of the New Year, and they’re looking for ways to find the ‘new you,’” she says. “This is the best way because it connects you to your food, and it’s long-lasting. “It’s not just: ‘I’m going to eat less,’” Visser continues. “People are going to walk away having become more conscious eaters. That is huge because that is long-lasting. Losing five pounds is not.”

Young musicians begin course of study

Audition for ‘Little Red Riding Hood’

Astoria Friday Musical Club names scholarship recipients

Try out Saturday at Astor Street Opry Co. ASTORIA — The Astor Street Opry Company’s seventh season of winter children’s theater will hold auditions for the musical, “The Real Story of Little Red Riding Hood,” noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 3, at the ASOC Playhouse 129 W. Bond St. in Astoria. The book is by Judy Wolfman, music and lyrics by David Reiser and published with permission by Pioneer Drama Service Inc. Everyone has listened to the immortal yarn of Little Red Riding Hood and a hungry wolf. But it’s rare we get a chance to get the infamous Wolf’s point of view of this popular story. In this hilarious musical, however, our compassionate and sympathetic beast is understandably upset. He has been maligned for generations because of the

well-known children’s parable. Determined to defend his own good intentions, he reveals Red Riding Hood’s real nature ... rarely shown to the outside world. With an abundance of toe-tapping tunes, this side-splitting cuddly tale will show that there are two sides to every story. Directed by Heather Ramsdell, music direction by ChrisLynn Taylor and back stage assistance by ASOC Teen Theater Club, this full length musical theatre presentation has parts for up to 10 to 20 children, ages 6 to 13 or first through sixth grade. No experience is necessary. The director reserves the right to cast younger or older children as needed. Cost for being a part of this activity is $35, with

and between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 1 The opening artists’ reception will be held the following weekend, Feb. 7. Laing- Malcolmson will be on hand during the reception to meet artists and patrons. A Seattle native, Laing-Malcolmson has spent most of her life in the region.

In addition, every two years, she assembles the Contemporary Northwest Art Awards, a group show that focuses on the work of several regional artists. The Juried Show Program has received a grant from Cannon Beach’s Tourism and Arts Fund to help facilitate

For the chicken: 3 tablespoons vegetable oil 2 large leeks, trimmed, halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces 1/2 pound cremini mushrooms, quartered 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic 1 1/2 tablespoons finely grated fresh ginger 3 1/2-pound whole chicken 3 quarts chicken broth 1 pound carrots, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 pound parsnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 pound turnips, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces 1/2 pound white potatoes, cut into 1-inch pieces Kosher salt and ground black pepper Chopped fresh cilantro or parsley, to garnish Directions: To prepare the harissa, in a blender combine all ingredients and blend

until smooth. Set aside. Can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. To prepare the chicken, in a 7to 8-quart stockpot over medium, heat the oil. Add the leeks and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the chicken, breast side down, then pour the broth over it. The broth should cover the chicken. If not, add a bit of water or additional broth. Bring the broth just to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, skimming any scum that comes to the surface, for 10 minutes. Cover and reduce the heat to simmer gently for another 15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the chicken sit in the hot broth, covered, for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the chicken from the pot and set it on a plate. Let it cool until it can be easily handled. Add the carrots, parsnips, turnips and potatoes to the broth, then bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook, covered, until the vegetables are just tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, pull off and discard the skin from the chicken and remove the meat from the bones in large chunks. When the vegetables are tender, return the chicken meat to the pot and cook gently, just until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Ladle the soup into soup bowls and top each portion with a spoonful of harissa and some cilantro.

Adult Winter Reading Contest brightens up the dark months

Lifelong learners can find new opportunities at Clatsop Community College this winter term

Timberland Regional Library invites adults to take a break, get comfortable PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — Book lovers can once again welcome the New Year with some healthy self-indulgence: reading books, audiobooks and more books — as many as possible — between Jan. 1 and March 14. The Adult Winter Reading Contest has been part of the Timberland Regional Library winter programming since 1998. The idea, according to program coordinator Tim Mallory, is to entice busy adults to give themselves a break, relax, get comfortable and read just for the fun of it. “How many times in the last year did you hear about an interesting book and think ‘I’ve got to read that’?â€? Mallory asked. “The holidays are nearly over,â€? he continued, “ and the kids will head back to school. Starting Jan. 1, it’s time for the grownups to indulge.â€? The more books and audiobooks contestants read, the better the chances of winning SUL]HV 7KHUH DUH ÂżYH PLQL YDcation grand prizes: overnight stays at bed and breakfasts and resorts around the district. In addition, there are 10 backpacks, each chock-full of

treats, books and audiobooks. Here’s how it works: 1. Between Jan. 1 and March 14, read or listen to a minimum RI ÂżYH ERRNV 2.
