Remian Empire. “I wanted to bring this story up from the forge-ringing of early medieval history, Arthurian literature and traditional Irish fairytales,” Barber says. “The beginning may resemble some scenes from Dickens, but I hope readers will also note the influence of George MacDonald as well. “While writing (the novel), I

very intentionally insulated myself from the influence of modern young adult fiction,” Barber says. “As a result, the tone of ‘The Starlight Proverbs’ will likely seem nostalgic, or even Victorian, which, again, was intentional.” “The Starlight Proverbs” is Barber’s first novel. Much of the book was written during a stay at his parents’ home in Seaside.

I was raised in a suburb in the greater Portland-metro area. It was somewhat near the Willamette River – but I didn’t see the river every day, like I do now with the Columbia River in Astoria. Maybe it’s because I didn’t grow up near the water, but I’ve lived here for almost a year, and it’s still a novelty to look out my window and see the river. I love noticing all the different colors: grayish or dark green, pale or deep blue, stormy or dove gray – and the list goes on. Traveling around the region, you can’t help but encounter water, whether it’s the ocean, a bay, a river, an inlet, a creek or even a slough (which I’ve since learned to pronounce correctly as “slew”). Not long ago I had the good fortune to make the drive between Naselle, Wash., and Seaview, Wash. My friend and I drove along Parpala Road, which eventually becomes U.S. Highway 101 South and leads to the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula. I had never driven that route before, and I was taken aback by its beauty. We drove just after sun-
set, and the colors of twilight bathed everything in a soft, rosy glow. As you drive, leaving Naselle on Parpala Road, you gently curve north through the trees until suddenly you’re driving alongside the blue Naselle River and traveling over a bridge to see Chetlo Harbor. Drive a little farther on the winding road, and you come across the entrance and parking lot for Willapa National Wildlife Refuge (a place I plan to return to soon and actually visit). And then you see the southernmost end of Willapa
Bay: sparkling blue water that stretches into the distance, green hills and wispy colorful clouds providing a breathless view for the weary traveler. You often hear about the beauty of the beach – and our local beaches are beautiful, no doubt about it. But the small rivers, tidelands and wetlands that lead away from the coast and into the interior are beautiful in another way. The water winds back and forth on the map, a lazy zig-zag that inspires peace and wonder. When I visited Naselle, I enjoyed the presence of all
manner of birds: ducks, bluejays, American goldfinches – even hummingbirds – and more I didn’t recognize. My friend and I even spotted some female elk grazing lazily in a meadow near the Naselle River. Overall, the visit and the drive were peaceful and calming, and it made me realize how blessed I am to be living in such a beautiful region.

SANDCASTLE FESTIVAL

Sandcastle Contest
49th annual event offers fun for everyone Friday to Sunday, June 14 to 16
June 15, 2013. Cannon Beach, sometime after daybreak: Backhoes roar to life, their giant claws dig deep through beach sand in search of basins of ocean water. Hundreds of thirsty buckets carried back and forth by scurrying sandcastle contenders will soon lower in and fill up again and then again. The 49th annual Cannon Beach Sandcastle contest is underway. Around 7 a.m., the elite Masters teams, vying for a share in the $4,000 purse, pull up in their rigs. Each group of up to 10 people begin unloading tools, buckets and coffee thermoses, preparing for a five-hour shift in their 30-foot by 30-foot sandy “kingdom.” Work starts promptly at 8 a.m. To be eligible for the Masters division, you must have won awards in the Large division at this or other sandcastle events. There are participants in five other divisions, almost literally from the ground up: the 6-yearold-and-younger Sand Fleas; Sand Juniors is for kids age 7 to 11; Small Group is for any age and up to four
people per team; Large Group, any age and up to eight people; and a Business division for commercially represented groups of up to eight people is open to all ages and all businesses. Each team is given a plot of sand with a designated viewing area; sand may not be added to or removed. All of these groups will be right behind the Masters, ready to find their designated 21-foot by 21-foot plots for a four-hour window. Vying for winning trophies, ribbons and bragging rights, they are ready to dig in at 9 a.m. All competitors, from young to – well, let’s just say those with knees that aren’t what they once were – arrive with a yen to dig sand, pile sand and shape sand, aided by water and natural materials found on the beach. Just like an organized ant colony, designated bucket-hauling team go-fers scurry to and from those backhoe water basins to dip, fill and slosh back to supply the real royalty of the teams, the sand carving artistes and their sandy assistants – then get ready to go fill up again and then again. Each team has a

common end goal: a show-stopping sand formation that will have onlookers clapping with delight and judges noting their approval. Cannon Beach photographer George Vetter has been taking professional pictures of sandcastle creations for 30 years. “It’s exciting and exhilarating,” he says. “These things come out of nowhere. 364 days a year the sand is flatter than all get out, and then one day the beach turns into all of these artistic creations.” From the first Sandcastle Contest in 1964 to the annual Sandastle Day celelbration, the event has now grown to a three-day Sandcastle Festival. This year, Friday night, June 14 kicks off festivities with a Shovels and Buckets dinner. On Saturday, June 15 there’s a pancake breakfast, the sandcastle contest, a concert at the Coaster Theater and a beach bonfire. Sunday, June 16 hosts a 5K fun run. Through its history, good family fun for both participants and viewers was and remains the primary purpose of the event. Master class participants Margaret Fasano, her brother John Palmer, and John’s wife Nancy Palmer, have spent years assisting their cousin Tim Tolan, a 33-year Sandcastle veteran. After 2000, Tolan and the group took a hiatus but were lured back by the call of the ongoing contest. “The theme is always a big secret. Tim chooses what we will do and announces it the night before,” Fasano says. “We all have dinner together, and he passes out a very simple drawing. Arch Cape’s John and Shirley Powell, (also 33-year vets of team Tolan) are always there. John is our master face carver. My brother John and I act like we’re very busy because we don’t want to do anything artistic. We never tell onlookers what we’re doing; they have to keep coming back, and once the letters are being formed, it is fun to hear the com-
ments. We all are having so much fun.” Tolan’s mother, Astoria’s Bettylou Burger, was a participant and the group’s motivator for their 1976 initial entry into the contest. She also provided inspiration for the team’s sculptures. “My mother loved participating in anything her children did,” Tolan says. “In 1984 our theme was ‘Picture This.’ If you attend the contest you will see most people have cameras and are taking pictures.” That year Tolan’s team sculpted an octopus taking a picture of the crowd. One arm was building a sandcastle, and aother was wrapped around a camera. “The make of the camera, which is clearly seen in the sculpture, is a ‘Cannon.’ The real camera maker is Canon – of course ours was referring to Cannon Beach,” Tolan says. “My mother was unable to participate (that year) due to her health, but the theme was inspired by ‘The Lonesome Octopus,’ a children’s book she wrote. A professional photographer set up his camera next to our plot and stayed there for several hours waiting for our finished product. A couple of months later, the picture of our sculpture was made into a postcard and sold in Cannon Beach for several years. I was told by a friend of my mother’s that her dentist had the same picture made into a giant poster, which covered an entire wall of his waiting room.” According to information provided by the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, contest rules are simple and no themes are mandated. This often results in a creative and sometimes colorful commentary on current events. For anyone who daydreams of a home as a castle, the three-day Cannon Beach Sandcastle Festival could make that dream come true – at least until high tide. Whether participant or onlooker, as Margaret Fasano says, “The Cannon Beach Sandcastle Festival is a lot of good fun.” Enjoy this year, then get ready for the 50th! It’s already on the Chamber’s calendar for June 21, 2014.

stage and movie version of Sally Tomato’s rock opera “Toy Room.” He is also commissioned by others on stage and in the studio from Chris Robley’s Fear of Heights Orchestra to Jeff Hanson.

Rounding out the ensemble is Monte Skillings on trombone, Todd Burba on clarinet and accordion, Sean Hudson on stand-up bass, Jake Pegg on tuba, and Andrew Clarinet on the clarinet. Critical acclaim for the band’s first full-length album, “Intravenous Delusion,” has enabled Professor Gall to become a regional favorite.

Berke, 25, a Boston native, is a musician whose diverse musical influences and love of travel often seep into her songwriting. Her voice is fresh with genuine power and her songs are a wellcrafted take on what soul-popjazz can be. She moved to Portland in 2009 to complete a social psychology degree at Portland State University. Berke is currently promoting her new full-length album “This Bright Before,” which was released in February 2013. The record is the long awaited follow-up to her acclaimed 2008 debut EP “Frondescence.” Mixing jazz, pop, soul and R&B

With her third book recently published, she will have sold more than 2,000 books by this fall: a success story for any self-published author. Honey’s primary market is the Oregon Coast, with forays into Washington with Elliott Bay Book Company in Seattle, Liberty Bay Books in Poulsbo and Island Books on Mercer Island. The Perkels are now permanent residents on the North Coast; this is where Honey loves to write. “Seaside is my paradise,” she says. “It’s the only place I want to write.” “I always wanted to write for women, so I

Author finds
paradise
in Seaside
Honey Perkel’s sunny disposition and passion for writing continue to touch readers – in real life and on the page
O
On a rather gloomy day recently, I met Honey Perkel at the Firehouse Grill for a conversation about the writing life, her approaches to writing and how she came to be an author. We had only been there for a short while when the day brightened considerably – all due to Honey’s sunny disposition and great outlook on life. “I have a sign up in my office that reads, ‘You’re going to miss this,’” she says. “It reminds me to appreciate all that is around me while it’s still within my grasp.” Those are surely words to live by. Honey could have lost sight of that concept when she lost her son, who died in 2011. She tells that story in “Just Breathe … A Mother’s Story,” a poignant book due out late this summer that she wrote with the hope that it will help others cope with such a tragic loss. Honey Perkel is a born author. She started writing when she was 7 years old and hasn’t stopped since. Interestingly, she wasn’t a real reader until she was 14. Her mother and grandmother were avid readers and gave her Betty Smith’s “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.” Honey was hooked for life. “I didn’t know you could get so much enjoyment out of
a book,” she says. “I started reading everything I could and kept writing. Being an only child, I had all the solitude I needed. My mother, grandmother, uncle and I went to Seaside every summer, and I read and wrote to my heart’s content.” Honey married her husband, Robert Perkel, in 1973 and continued to write. As a young mother, she graduated from the Institute of Children’s Literature and the Long Ridge Writer’s Group. Her big dream was to see her novels in print. While she kept writing, she and her husband started a business when he retired in 1999. The couple became owners of The Emerald Rabbit, a gift basket company. For five years, they served more than two dozen hotels in the Portland metro area and countless businesses and personal accounts with beautifully filled baskets created by Honey. Robert did the marketing and delivery. Eventually they sold their company to spend more time at the coast. Honey had submitted manuscripts through the conventional method without a good result, so after talking to numerous authors who advised her to self-publish, she decided to try that route.
honed my skills and started with the first book, which is really my story in many ways,” Honey says. “‘A Thousand Summers’ (the first in a trilogy) is a coming-of-age story about two young girls who share their summers in Seaside, Oregon throughout the 1960s, and the apparition who keeps bringing them back. Forty-three years later, Caroline Lang, wife of a prominent Chicago attorney, begins to have dreams of a small enchanting beach town on the Oregon Coast, a place she has never visited. Encouraged by her best friend, Caroline packs up her two daughters and sets out on an adventure in search of paradise.” Honey introduces a wonderful character, Bernard, in ”A Thousand Summers,” and he also appears in the trilogy’s following two books, “Secrets of the Cove” and “A Place Called Paradise.” He is a guide, a mentor, a friend – and he might just be real. To say more would spoil meeting him for the reader. Honey’s belief in spirits and apparitions often move her stories along but do not get in the way of keeping them believable. Instead, those encounters keep the stories intimate, personal and captivating. Honey writes every day. She loves the process and confesses that friends and neighbors often see
the lights in her office on far into the night. “There is nothing I would rather do,” she says. “I have problems not writing!” Honey has plans to release another novel called “The Faithful Daughter.” She’s also working on “Between Two Shores,” another stand-alone novel that requires a research trip to Scotland and Ireland. These books are still in the works, but fans should know they have something to look forward to. Honey has more new ideas for books, is very well-disciplined and sets deadlines for herself. She always writes from an outline and writes as many drafts as it takes to get it right. She has a knowledgeable and trusted friend who critiques her work. In addition to her writing, Honey does leave her desk long enough to join a knitting group, play Mahjong and lead a writing group at Seaside Public Library. She is also planning to teach a class on self-publishing at Clatsop Community College. “I’m looking forward to that,” says Honey. “I used to be so shy I couldn’t talk to a group of people, but now I am proud of my books and have wanted this for so long that I am comfortable telling people about the experience and talking about writing. Most of us write because we cannot not write … we want to touch the reader. There is no doubt that Honey’s writing has touched many readers and will continue to do so for a long time to come. Her warmth, compassion and passion for writing come through in person and on every page.

ASTORIA — In the summer of 2010, Pendleton native Chris Ward bought an accordion from a Russian immigrant and began a series of recordings in a bedroom. Calling the project “Tent City,” the recordings would later become the bulk of the material for “The Valley In Autumn.” The album garnered attention in both local and online circles for its distinct old-world flavor and pop sensibilities. Since then the group Yaquina
Bay has grown into a dynamic live act with a handful of players from around the Salem area: Kirstin Demezas on violin; Kendra Schmal on guitar, ukelele and piano; Jason Stringer on bass and percussion; and Shawn Thornhill on percussion. Yaquina Bay has released a 7Inch record entitled “Morozko” and another full-length record, “The Eastern Desert.” Shortly before the 2012 release of “The Eastern Desert,” the

Astoria Music Festival
Artist Marga Stanley hangs her paiting, "Orchestra," at the Tempo Gallery in the Astoria Music Festival office.
Members of the ADHDA, their friends and relations show their support for the Astoria Music Festival by wearing their Viking helmets.
“There is an egalitarian feeling about it,” says Tippit. “It’s across the board. A student gave up her apartment for a weekend. It’s people who care about music.” Commerce and art help each other out at festival time. If you ever doubted that art plays an increasingly important role in the Astoria economy, try to book a room in Astoria during the three weekends of the festival, or go out to eat and notice how crowded the restaurants are. You might also ask anyone you see in town wearing what former festival board member Dulcye Taylor calls a “Viking hat” – one of those helmets with the horns growing out of either side, like Wagnerian sopranos wear.
June 14 to 30
Maestro Keith Clark, the festival’s artistic director and co-founder, conducts the festival orchestra at the Astoria Music Festival.
The Astoria Music Festival – with its international repertoire and stars – is supported by our North Coast community, who work hard in many ways to make the festival possible

Beginning Friday, June 14 and continuing for the next two weeks, the Astoria Music Festival celebrates the bicentennial of two great composers of the Romantic era, both born in 1813, with performances of their greatest operas. Saturday evening, June 15 will see a concert of music from Wagner’s “Ring of the Nibelung,” including the first Oregon presentation of “Die Walküre” in 30 years. Highlights from Verdi’s great “Otello” will be presented the following Saturday, June 22. For good measure the final weekend (June 28 and 29) will see a fully staged production of Stravinsky’s “The Rite of Spring,” the iconic 20th century opera that almost caused a riot when it was first performed in 1913. There won’t be a riot this year, though: Who’s going to be upset by an opera that costs only $15? And there’s more. Oregon state Sen. Betsy Johnson is scheduled to narrate Copland’s “A Lincoln Portrait”; there will be concerts for children, “cantatas, 12 | June 13, 2013 | coastweekend.com
Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL coffee and croissants” for adults, chamber music and tangos at the Performing Arts Center. In short, there will be something for everyone. The festival will bring together a host of performers known to stages throughout the world, including festival favorites Sergey Antonov, who is an International Tchaikovsky Competition gold medal winner for the cello; Juliana Gondek, who has performed with more than 150 orchestras and opera companies; acclaimed pianist Cary Lewis; Richard Zeller, one of the world’s finest Verdi baritones; and one of the greatest sopranos America has produced, Ruth Ann Swenson. Despite the international repertoire and stars, the festival begins at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center on Friday evening, June 14, with, appropriately enough, “Astoria on Stage.” The program features homegrown musicians: North Coast Symphonic Band, North Coast Chorale, String of Pearls Big Band, fisherpoets and, we are promised,
“much, much more.” The lineup of locals is appropriate because this is a homegrown music festival. “When I moved to Portland,” explains Maestro Keith Clark, the festival’s artistic director, conductor and co-founder, “I took a drive to the coast and was captivated by Astoria, which is a remarkable place.” Clark met some local people and was introduced to the Liberty Theater, before the restoration started in 2000. “It looked bad,” he says, “but it sounded great.” Not only was he moved by the acoustics, “I was moved by the fact that there were people massing their energies to preserve something as historic as the Liberty Theater. That doesn’t happen every day.” One thing led to another, and in 2003 the Astoria Music Festival was born. This year, as always, the 11th Astoria Music Festival is made possible by scores of local volunteers, from the board of directors to the ushers, all coordinated from a small office on Commercial Street.
Sergey Antonov is a Russian-born cellist who has performed around the world. He graduated from the Moscow Conservatory and is an Artist Diploma candidate working with Grammy-nominated cellist Terry King at the Longy School of Music in Boston. You can catch him in action at the Chamber Music Matinees 4 p.m. Saturday, June 15 and 22, as well as in other performances during the festival.
The festival uses this small office intensively for only a few months of the year, but the rent has to be paid every month, and the festival is a low-budget operation. How were organizers going to avoid the expense of a year-round office? The creative solution was Tempo Gallery, a cooperative of local artists who now share the space year-round. At the time of the festival, the gallery sponsors a music-related exhibit. This year’s exhibit features work by Normandie Hand, Yvonne Edwards and Marga Stanley, who says of her paintings, “I did them specifically to celebrate the music festival and its marriage with the gallery.” The festival and community support each other not only with art and music, but with dance as well. In the festival’s last week, students from the Astoria School of Ballet will dance in Purcell’s “Dido and Aeneas,” sung in English at the CCC PAC. The Little Ballet Theatre, another group of local dancers, will join the modern Agnieszka Laska Dancers of Portland in the performance of “The Rite of Spring” at the Liberty Theater. Community support is essential to the success of the Astoria Music Festival in another way as well. Housing all the musicians is another huge expense – or would be but for the 40 “homestay hosts” who invite 95 musicians and staff into their homes anywhere from three to 14 days. “They invite strangers into their homes and leave on very good terms with each other,” says Celia Tippit, who coordinates the homestay program, “I think it’s remarkable.” Hotels and other lodging also reduce rates for festival participants. The Riverwalk Inn even donated three rooms for 18 days. “An incredible gift,” says Tippit, “It’s really very, very kind.” It’s not just hotels and the well-to-do that help out.
If you ever doubted that art plays an increasingly important role in the Astoria economy, try to book a room in Astoria during the three weekends of the festival, or go out to eat and notice how crowded the restaurants are. “I saw all the Scandinavian Festival people wearing those Viking hats,” says Taylor, now president of the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association (ADHDA), “and then the music festival was putting on Wagner, and I had this crazy idea, and the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association bought 80 hats. If we run out, people can buy them from Finn Ware.” Members of the ADHDA decorated the helmets to suit their particular business. “The idea,” says Taylor, “is that we’ll be walking the streets wearing these hats, and people will come up and say, ‘what the hell is up with those hats?’ And we’ll tell them about the (Midsummer) Scandinavian Festival and the (Astoria) Music Festival. We support the festivals, and they support us.” As I tried to direct a group photograph of Viking hat-wearing members of the ADHDA and their friends and relations, a couple walked up to Taylor and asked what the hats were for. She told them, and turned to me: “See? It works!” The major festival concerts draw slightly more than half the audience from Portland and beyond (the mid-week events draw primarily locals), and the apprentices – musicians who are just beginning their careers – come from as far away as New Zealand, but the festival remains a homegrown affair. Astoria adds its idiosyncratic flavor to the world’s great music and the star performers of that music, and the result is a festival to be proud of.
ABOVE. Richard Zeller is internationally acclaimed for his sonorous dramatic voice, compelling stage presence and outstanding musicianship. His career has included 12 seasons at the Metropolitan Opera, where he sang title roles in Verdi’s "Macbeth" and "Rigoletto." Zeller will perform the role of Iago in the Astoria Music Festival's highlights from Verdi's "Otello" 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 22 at the Liberty Theater. LEFT. Dulcye Taylor walks the streets of Astoria on a mission: to equip all Astorians with Viking helmets in support of the music festival.
More information The Astoria Music Festival runs June 14 to 30 and is held at the Liberty Theater, 1203 Commercial St., and the Performing Arts Center, 588 16th St. During the festival, apprentices will be performing at several locations around Astoria, including noon on Sundays at local churches (June 16 at Peace Lutheran Church, 565 12th St.; June 23 at First Presbyterian Church, 103 Grand Ave.), and on June 25 at KALA Gallery, 1017 Marine Drive.

Hunter’s Inn The Mouth investigates, finds Naselle restaurant’s broasted chicken the best in the area
W
With the dawn of the Internet and the popularity of social media, these days everyone is a restaurant critic. Sites like Urban Spoon and Yelp provide a mouthpiece for the people of the world to voice their opinions on their dining experiences and even rate them with stars. The Internet gives us wings, doesn’t it? When I review restaurants, I sometimes glance at sites such as these, out of curiosity, to see what other diners have to say. A brief Internet search of the rustic Hunter’s Inn in Naselle, Wash., turned up one overwhelming fact: The broasted chicken they serve is amazing, and I set out recently to discover for myself if the claim could hold water. Broasting, which is a combination of broiling and roasting, is a method of cooking that involves coating chicken in breading, then cooking it in a special piece of culinary equipment that is both a pressure cooker and a deep-fat fryer. The result is chicken with golden, crispy skin and moist, tender meat inside. The broasted chicken at Hunter’s Inn can be ordered as a two-piece dinner, and then in increasing sizes up to a 30-piece bucket. It’s served with a choice of cole slaw or potato salad and French fries, curly fries or jo-jos. The menu cutely asserts that the restaurant’s chicken will make “the Colonel look like a private” – and I wholeheartedly concur. The only other occasions I’ve eaten chicken so tasty were in the South; this is the best fried (“broasted”) chicken in the area. In addition to the chicken, I also sampled a club sandwich. The sandwich was very large and assembled well, with turkey, ham and bacon, plus American and Swiss cheeses and lettuce and tomato. I have a strange aversion to lunch meats unless they have clearly just been sliced; I do not know if the meats used on the sandwich had been recently sliced on site, but they seemed like the kind that could be purchased in a supermarket and
not of gourmet quality. Still, the flavors of the sandwich were spot on, and it was above average. Another diner at my table ordered a chef’s salad, which was also enormous. The traditional salad featured ham, turkey, hard-boiled egg and a blend of cheeses, plus a generous portion of veggies, including mushrooms. The meats seemed to be the same as those featured on the club sandwich, and were served in long, thin strips rather than in chunks. Mixed well with ranch dressing, the salad was palatable enough, and the garlic bread served alongside was hearty, crisp and well-spiced. Any diner worth its salt should have a good burger on its menu, and Hunter’s Inn has several, including a mushroom burger and a chipotle ranch burger. We selected the logger burger, a traditional burger with ham on top. The burger, unfortunately, was a little bland. The patty itself was thin and gray-ish, well-done throughout and without any discernible flavors. The rest of the toppings and the sesame seed bun were ample and tasty; in order to

save this burger, a thicker and more flavorful meat patty is necessary. A bowl of the soup du jour, chicken noodle, was redemptive with a pleasant broth, large chunks of vegetables, egg noodles, and moist, tender chicken. Again, the portion was very large, and it was a pleasing finish to the meal. As you know, each time I review a restaurant I assign it a rating of stars. Apart from just the quality of the food, I also consider the price, the serv-

ice, the range of options on the menu, and the atmosphere. Sometimes I visit beautiful dining spaces with mediocre food, and other times I visit complete dives that have exceptional food. The overall rating is a sum, or I suppose an average, of all of those factors. The food at Hunter’s Inn is average to above average bar or diner food, and the broasted chicken is exceptional. Unfortunately, the restaurant’s atmosphere detracted from my overall experience. Though clean on the inside, the restaurant is rather run-down and dark; the seats of the booths are cracking and taped in spots, and the wood paneling is dark and in need of an update. Still though, I would imagine it is locally popular, with two pool tables and a full bar. At any rate, my experience at Hunter’s Inn was pleasant on the whole, and I will most certainly be back for the chicken.

Evison will also teach a workshop Saturday afternoon on fictional characters. “Writers love coming to Summer in Words. They enjoy the personal touch of our conference, the ambience of the Hallmark Inn overlooking the Pacific, and the amazing quality of our workshops and speakers. Plus, it’s just fun,” Jessica Morrell, conference founder, said. “I’m especially looking forward to hearing Jonathan Evison talk about why we write and the fabulous Kelly Williams Brown on ‘Write Like It’s Your Job.’ This year we revved up our faculty so will have workshops for a wide range of interests from fiction to memoir, essays, nonfiction and how to sell. As always, the con-

Summer in Words will also feature a raffle with proceeds benefiting Write Around Portland, an organization that helps people transform their lives through writing, and the Hoffman Center, a facility in Manzanita that provides arts and

Hoffman Center Daric Moore to perform solo concert MANZANITA — Astorian singer/songwriter Daric Moore will perform an evening of original solo guitar and voice in a concert titled “Renovation” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 15 at the Hoffman Center. “My music is best described as solo folk rock,” says Moore. “This is actually a re-emergence concert. This will be the first solo concert I’ve played in six years and the first ever to feature mostly originals.” Moore was in the band Revolution I from 1985 to 1995 on drums and vocals. The band recorded one album, “Revolo-
ceans,” and played in Portland. Moore also recorded a solo album, “No Design,” in 1995 and an album of experimental songs with friends in 2000. Why is the concert called “Renovation”? “Music had to take a backseat to my carpentry/renovation work for so many years,” Moore says. “The root word of renovation is ‘renew.’ With some 60 cover songs burned into my brain from countless campfires, singalongs and music sessions over the years, it’s only recently that I have begun writing and performing my own songs in earnest.

effect renewing my music.” Manzanita was the first place Moore moved to on the coast when he left Portland. “I still feel a connection to the town,” says Moore. “It will be a great place to play my first concert of original material. I lived there when the Hoffman Center first came into being, and now it is a privilege to play in a venue that supports the arts so strongly.” Moore performs regularly at open mics in Astoria. He was last seen in Manzanita performing an original song to enthusiastic audience response at the Hoffman Center Talent Show in January 2013. Admission is $5.

A talented singer and songwriter, she was awarded a prestigious vocal scholarship to Utah State University when she was 18 years old. For the next three years, her college experience was bursting with opportunities to study a variety of music and to integrate diverse genres into her evolving style. Trenholm played with a blue grass band and top-40 band. At 19, exhilarated and en-
tertaining at every opportunity, she was arrested for singing underage in a bar in Salt Lake City, Utah.

OCEAN PARK, Wash. — There’s something in the air. Get your sniffers in order and set your taste buds on high: It’s time for the 32nd Northwest Garlic Festival. Opening 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 15 and continuing 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 16, the ever-fragrant festival fills Ocean Park’s Wilson Field at 25815 Sandridge Road with everything garlic. In fact, the only way you might find yourself smelling a bit more like the fragrant clove is if you take an evening tour of Transylvania. Local and regional food offerings and local artisan-crafted items share space with garlicloving merchants from “off peninsula.” Garlic is required as a featured item in all booths, and just how the merchants deliver that requirement is part of the fun. Garlic wine stoppers, garlic charms, garlic-fragrance-removing soaps, garlic corn, garlic-flavored oils, vinaigrettes, seasonings, dip packets and sausage along with beaded-glass and carved-metal garlic accessories and live garlic plants are just a few of the wares to be found at the festival’s booths. Area nonprofits man booths with important information and tempting fundraising raffles. The Peninsula Arts Association (PAA) has this year’s 32nd Northwest Garlic Festival poster for sale along with a silent auction of the original framed entry. This year’s poster is “Garlic

Previous years’ posters will also be available at the festival, and after the festival all posters will be available to purchase at M&D Designs in Chinook, Wash., and Long Beach, Wash.; The Picture Attic in Long Beach; Bay Avenue Gallery in Ocean Park; and at the Ocean Park Area Chamber of Commerce. When visitors are ready for more than “just a taste” of garlic-inspired edibles, they have the choice of multiple restaurant food stands lined up along the entire length of the festival field. Adding to the festivities, live music fills the air nonstop. On Saturday morning, the Ilwaco High School Jazz Band

Five Minutes With... COREEN BERGHOLM Born and raised: Born in Fargo, N.D., and raised on a farm near Fargo. I moved to Astoria in 1965, and later the rest of my family moved here also. Lives now: Astoria is my home and I love it here. My winters are spent in Yuma, Arizona where I started an accordion band that has been going for 10 years. What attracted you to playing the accordion? I started playing the piano with a group called Local Yokels in 1978 and we were formed for the Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival (I have played at
the festival since 1978 and have participated in some way since 1970). We continued playing for other events, and a piano wasn’t always available, so I got an accordion so I could play with the rest of the guys in the band. There were five other accordion players in this group, and I learned from them. What kinds of tunes do you play? Our specialty music is Scandinavian and now we have ventured into playing German tunes along with standard pop tunes. Tell me about performing with Ken
Though occasionally playing solo, Ken Presthus ("the Geezer") and Coreen Bergholm ("the Squeezer") pretty much play every gig together and bill themselves as "The Squeezer and Geezer." "We don't take ourselves too seriously," Bergholm says, "but have a lot of fun playing music." – SUBMITTED PHOTO

Presthus, who plays trombone and tuba. Ken and I have been playing together for a few years and the past three years have done many events together. In Arizona we have played for the annual German festival, annual Scandinavian festival, and every Saturday evening at a German restaurant. In Astoria and surrounding areas we have played for Oktoberfests, the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival and several assisted living facilities. What attracts you to play Scandinavian and German music? The Scandinavian music was a natural fit for me being part Norwegian and being involved with the Scandinavian Midsummer Festival. Do you play any other instruments? Yes, my first instrument was the piano, which I still enjoy playing, and the organ. What do you do when you’re not squeezing that accordion? I love keeping up with family and friends through my computer and spending time with my family when we are here in Astoria. What’s one of your guilty pleasures? I really love watching television in the evening to relax. Name something on your bucket list. Going to HostFest, a Scandinavian celebration in Minot, N.D., which we hope to do this fall, and to travel to Norway and Germany and listen to some of the music there. Five Minutes With offers a Q&A with an artist, musician, thespian or writer involved in the local art scene.

Nestucca Jr/Sr High School Soup’s on for 18th year of art and fun CLOVERDALE — Community Arts Project (CAP) is presenting its 18th annual children’s art day camp, Slug Soup, Monday to Friday, June 24 to 28, at Nestucca Jr/Sr High School in Cloverdale. The program is open to any young person going into preschool through 12th grade next fall. It’s a creative, energy-filled week during which students experience new art forms, learn from local artist instructors, make new friends and celebrate their creativity. “Slug Soup is a place where kids can come be creative while making lasting friendships,” says Kim Cavatorta, program coordinator. “It’s amazing to see the quality of their work, too, which is inspired by the excellent group of instructors we have each year. The emphasis is always on experimentation with activities and projects that get kids’ creative juices flowing in a low-stress atmosphere. It’s a terrific way to spend a summer week.” The 16 classes to be presented this year include two preschool classes for children ages 3 to 5 year olds that will focus on making art using watercolors and sand, seaweed and shells. Classes for the kindergarten and older students will include art basics, famous artist painting techniques, watercolor painting, ocean-oriented and colorful crafts, calligraphy, fabric art, mosaics, printmaking, photography, landscape drawing and more. Students may attend a morning class each day and/or an afternoon class each day, and all materials are provided. The various classes are offered to different age groups. Tuition is $35 per class for students who live within the Nestucca Valley School District and $65 for students who live
outside the school district. Financial assistance is available. Families needing assistance can privately indicate so on the Slug Soup registration form. At the end of the week, family and community members are invited to join Slug Soup artists for a celebration of their week’s creativity. The party will be 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. Friday, June 28 at Nestucca Jr/Sr High School. “Community Arts Project always welcomes tax-deductible donations to help with scholarships and expenses associated with running the program. Our goal is to keep tuition reasonable and contributions make this possible,” Cavatorta says. Helping make this happen this year are the Slug Soup 2013 sponsors: Nestucca Valley School District, Anonymous (in
Slug Soup Monday to Friday, June 24 to 28 Nestucca Jr/Sr High School 34660 Parkway Drive, Cloverdale $35 or $65 memory of Audrey Axtell), Neskowin Community Association, Tillamook Vision Center, Tillamook County Creamery Association, Bros. and Hoes Landscaping, and Grateful Bread Bakery. There is still space available in classes, but class size is limited, so it’s important to sign up soon.
