Finns, Swedes and other Scandinavians used to fill our region’s forests and waters, working in the logging and fishing industries. Their imprint is still seen today in their descendents, place names and the Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival. Started in 1967, the festival celebrates Scandinavian culture, traditions and heritage. For me, it’s been a pleasure to learn this part of Oregon’s past. And it was a treat to attend my first festival at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds last weekend. My friends and I arrived Saturday just in time to hear the national songs of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden. As each song was sung at the outdoor stage, the country’s corresponding flag was raised high into the blue sky. I could hear some people from the crowd join in for an anthem or two – the authenticity of the festival was apparent. Then it was time for the raising of the Midsummer pole. Lying flat on the ground, the

pole was decorated with greenery and flowers, and the figure of a chicken stood on top to symbolize fertility. People from the crowd grabbed hold of two long ropes and slowly pulled the pole upright. Accordion players set up at the pole’s base, and young and old joined hands for traditional ring dances and games. The fairgrounds’ exhibit hall featured many vendors to visit and tasty food to sample. I tried Swedish meatballs with potatoes and lingonberry sauce while my friends split a vegetarian-filled Swedish pastry. Later we en-

joyed a smoked sturgeon sandwich, lefse and aebelskiver (Danish donuts) topped with powdered sugar. While sampling the wares of the festival’s beer garden, my friends and I were treated to selections from the Astor Street Opry Company’s “Shanghaied in Astoria,” a long-running community melodrama with ties to Scandinavia – it opens July 11. Later, while enjoying the sunshine outside, we made friends with the grass-munching ASOC mascot Scooter, a threemonth-old goat whose back legs

are paralyzed. (ASOC is hosting a fundraising concert to buy Scooter a new wheel-cart for his legs; see Page 10 for more info). The soft breeze carried the lively Danish fiddle music of featured musician Harald Haugaard to us from the exhibit hall’s open door. Lying in the grass in the warm sun with the magic of Scandinavia (and Astoria) all around, it was a fine summer solstice.

A TREK UP

Saddle Mountain

Sixty-five: count the years. They unfurl unceremoniously but steady as the Columbia River tide. As a young man, I climbed most of the Cascade Mountains: Hood, Baker, Rainier, Adams and St. Helens, that perfect snow-peaked mountain before the eruption. And a handful of others. A decade ago, young muscles responded well. If not the most agile climber, I was propelled by determination and a love for high-country landscape. Later, the knees gave me fits, and that is their present-day status. I hadn’t climbed Saddle Mountain in years. Until this June, that is, now as a pre-65 sort of challenge. A challenge that might demonstrate my beyond-middle-age ability to climb to the 3,300 foot summit and not have my knees lock up on descent. To be honest, I didn’t know what to expect. After considering a solo adventure, I was pleased when Jim Tweedy invited himself along. That was strengthened by Bernie Gerkens, a 67-year-old courier du bois, a resourceful, agile athlete of a man with a tall, lanky frame and plenty of old-world grit. The three amigos were at it again. We arrived at the parking lot below Saddle Mountain at

10 a.m., moving from coastal overcast to blue bird weather, a rare, still, windless day in mid-June. Earlier spring weather must have favored a smattering of sunshine, because the mountainside was now littered with wildflowers. Choose your color (red, yellow, blue, lavender, magenta and white, or a conundrum of all the above). Choose your flower. As knowledge goes, I know my share. But compared to a professional botanist – Kathy Sayce comes to mind – I’m green behind the ears. Still, I recognized a half-dozen ferns, Solomon Seal, Wild Iris, Columbine, Paint Brush, Oregon grape, Cow Parsnip, Huckleberry and Salmon Berry. A dozen mosses cushioned the world, dangling green webs wet with something as strong as contact glue. Color jumped out like a Jackson Pollack paining, lavish colors hugging the steep cliffs or dotting the trail like a migration of monarch butterflies. Through the foliage, sun mots fell across the forest floor, illuminating the wildflowers as if they had been impacted by tiny gnomes with paintbrushes. I was breathing hard. So was Jim, but not as badly. He had been training. Bernie brought up the rear, neither huff-

ing nor puffing. A most considerate man, he simply laid back, a tailgater dispatched to carry us along, going as fast as the slowest person – in this case, me! As the trail rose, the evergreens thinned. Lithe Tree Swallows rose and fell like kite tails. Yellow and orange butterflies swooned. Morning turned to noon. The steep trail ran from switchback to switchback. Along the way, Jim and I chatted. I had promised to remain silent, a personal quest, I suppose, but couldn’t resist the temptation of Jim’s natural interest in comparative religions. Jim is a minister with an inquisitive mind. The conversation remained rich. Higher and higher we climbed. If my muscles protested, they were overruled by the marvels of this natural landscape. The world smelled sweet with evergreen, damp flora and thick fertile fern. We trudged upward. The sun rose higher and higher in the pearl-blue sky. Two hours up, and we stood at the

The world smelled sweet with evergreen, damp flora and thick fertile fern. summit. Two ravens rose above the steep igneous rock, cawing and cavorting like miscreant teenagers. They were so close I could hear the crackle of wind on wing, catch the dark obsidian glint in their eyes.

After a repast, we headed down. Oddly, going down hurt worse. My knees protested the rocky trail, the unevenness of the terrain, and the loose scree. I didn’t give a darn. I had come back to the mountain, and the mountain had allowed me passage. Of course this was not Mt. Ranier. Indeed Saddle Mountain rests some 11,000 feet below the great Northwest peak. Still, from the summit we could make out a half-dozen white-capped peaks. We could follow the Cascade trail as it moved south into southern Oregon. Above, the sky twinkled like a poster girl’s bright eyes. Annually, thousands of trekkers come to this park, the mountain that shadows our own river city. I was grateful for the day, for my two friends, and for the jewel in the crown: this small lovely peak with wildflowers strewn about like star dust.

Beach cleanup potluck, speaker on tap OCEAN PARK, Wash. — The public is welcome to attend a potluck and speaker presentation by the Coastal Observation and Seabird Survey Team (COASST) Friday, June 28 at the Peninsula Baptist Church, 23802 Pacific Highway, Ocean Park, Wash. The potluck will be at 5 p.m., and beach cleanup volunteers will enjoy food while picking up supplies for the 9:30 a.m. Friday, July 5 beach cleanup on the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula. After the potluck COASST Volunteer Coordinator Liz Mack will give a talk entitled “On an Incoming Tide: Seabirds, Marine Debris and Citizen Science.” What makes a seabird a seabird? What seabirds frequent the Washington Coast? Mack will take a look at Washington State’s ongoing seabird research and share how local citizens are contributing valuable scientific data to one of the state’s largest citizen science programs. COASST is a citizen science project of the University of Washington in partnership with state, tribal and federal agencies, environmental organizations and community groups. COASST believes citizens of coastal communities are essential scientific partners in monitoring marine ecosystem health. Program participants (more than 800 across four states) choose a local beach and complete monthly surveys for the presence of beached birds. From California to Alaska, COASST receives monitoring surveys from more than 500 kilometers of coastline each month. What do they tell us? What beaches in Washington see the greatest deposition? Is there a pattern to when birds wash ashore? Come find out at the potluck and speaker event. In 2012, after input from COASST long-time participants, the program started think-

ing more about marine debris: Where does it come from; how harmful are those items we find on the beach? Turns out, there’s a huge variety of debris, which varies from beach to beach, region to region. Beach cleanup volunteers have seen some surprising items: a bale of rubber; items from China, Taiwan and Korea; electrical wire; a clarinet reed, game pieces. Mack will take a look at some of these items, through a bird’s eye, a scientist’s eye and a

Plein Air

& MORE ART FESTIVAL

5th annual event Friday to Sunday, June 28, 29 & 30 in Cannon Beach

Plein Air (French for “open air”) painting became popular in the late 19th century in both Europe and America when paint manufacturers made a wide range of pre-mixed oil pigments available for the first time, and the easily transportable box easel was developed. Artists could finally take their work into the field with ease and record a fleeting moment “en plein air.” The artist could, as Monet wrote, “paint the air in which are situated the bridge, the home, the boat.” These artists paint in natural light, using color to define form. Plein air artists generally lay down a scene with quick, broad, colorful brush strokes, foregoing the typical building up of paint. Depending on the light and weather, plein air paintings are generally done in one session. Artists often add final touches to their work once back in the studio. Cannon Beach’s first Plein Air & More event took place June 27, 2009. It included 15 artists represented by Cannon Beach art galleries. “This year, the fifth anniversary of Plein Air & More, more than 50 artists from 12 galleries will participate in this citywide event,” says Kim Barnett, owner of Bronze Coast Gallery. “The fact that there are artists everywhere makes the entire city a studio – one that everyone may enjoy.” These intrepid artists will be found on the sidewalk, on side streets, on the beach and anywhere else you might imagine – and they won’t be daunted by weather, whatever Mother Nature might send. From 5 to 7 p.m. Friday night, June 28, there will be a Meet and Greet opening party at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce building on 2nd and Spruce streets, where a group show will take place. Southwest Art magazine will present awards for Best Plein Air painting and the Best “& More” offering. The public is invited to cast votes for a People’s Choice Award. On Saturday and Sunday, artists will create art on location around town, and their work will be showcased at receptions Saturday evening at various galleries (some with live music) and on Sunday at the Chamber of Commerce, with catering by Sweet Basil Cafe and wine from the Wine Shack. In addition, Michael Orwick and Eric Jacobsen will conduct a “Painting Coastal Color and Light” workshop from June 24 to June 28 at the Ocean Lodge, 2864 S. Pacific St. For more information visit MichaelOrwick.com Galleries will include the following featured

Pamela Juett has found her niche in flameworking, making beads that become stunning pieces of wearable art. She will take custom orders during Plein Air & More. Jeffrey Hull Gallery: Jeffrey Hull began his painting career 40 years ago as a resident of Cannon Beach. He is well known for his ability to capture the beauty and moods of the places where water meets land, and he is a signature member of the prestigious American Society of Marine Artists.

Cannon Beach

If you’re a fan of small town parades, this downtown parade has everything you’d expect: home-made floats, decorated tricycles, military vehicles, retired veterans, marching bands and antique cars. The parade forms at 11 a.m. at Spruce and Monroe streets, moves north on Spruce to 3rd Street, then south on Hemlock Street. The Cannon Beach Library will also kick off its annual book sale extravaganza 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Arrive early if you want to choose from the thousand of books for sale – there can be long lines before the library even opens. The sale continues through July 6. Be sure to catch the free patriotic concert by the North Coast Symphonic Band 3 p.m. in the Cannon Beach City Park. Bring blankets, lawn chairs and sun screen, and enjoy the old-fashioned concert with its familiar marches, sing-a-longs and selections from the musical “The Wizard of Oz.” (The free concert will also be performed 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 3 at the Liberty Theater in Astoria.) Fireworks are not allowed on the beach because of nesting seabirds on Haystack Rock, but Cannon Beach provides fireworks of another sort: flame dancers. In a true community event, held at the city park on east Fifth Street, the Dancers Flambouyant, from Portland, return for their fourth year, along with music starting at 7:30 p.m. by Bobcat Bob and Friends with special guest MoZo.

Puffin Watch and tide pool programs are also offered during the day, and the puffins, pelicans, cormorants, pigeon guillemots, black oystercatchers and bald eagles provide an aerial display. If you’re into fireworks, though, you’ll have to head north.

Seaside Looking for a traditional Fourth? Seaside has it with the Fourth of July Parade and Old-Fashioned Social. The parade begins at 11 a.m. at the Seaside Museum and Historical Society, 570 Necanicum Drive, and makes a loop through downtown. The social is held at the museum from Noon to 4 p.m. and includes a cakewalk, face painting, live music, games for children, food booths, raffles, a silent auction, bingo and free admission to the museum. At 2 p.m. the Oregon Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps will perform at the Turnaround on Broadway. Recover for a few hours and take in one of the better fireworks displays on the coast. The official show starts around 10 p.m., with unofficial beach fireworks starting about half an hour earlier and continuing afterward. You can turn your radio to “Music Matters” at 94.9 FM for the musical score that accompaies the show. A warning: Do not attempt to watch the show from the west end of Broadway at the turnaround. You’ll be breathing smoke and jostling with a thousand other bodies. There are plenty of places down the beach from which you can watch the show in greater comfort. Beach Drive Buccaneers will hand out SOLVE trash bags during the morning’s parade and on the beach before the fireworks show begins. You can clean up right away or come to the “Treasure the Beach” Cleanup 8 to 11 a.m. Friday, July 5.

Gearhart Gearhart takes the small town parade to a quirky extreme. At about 11 a.m. half the population of locals and vacationers go to the beginning of the parade route on North Marion Avenue, while the other half line Pacific Way to watch the first half. The parade is a motley assortment of people in costumes, kids on bikes, makeshift floats and lots of people throwing candy. Then everybody eats hot dogs and waits for it to get dark, when there are plenty of amateur (but large) fireworks on the beach. The Trail’s End Art Association, 656 A St., will have an “after the parade” celebration 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with free refreshments, face painting and an outdoor art sale. The Gearhart beach is also an outstanding place from which to watch the Seaside fireworks without the crowd.

Warrenton You have just enough time to make it from Gearhart to the Warrenton Volunteer Firefighters Barbecue, which begins at noon at the Warrenton Fire Station, 225 S. Main Ave. This is followed at 3 p.m. by the Warrenton Old-Fashioned Parade, which features clowns, Miss Clatsop County, Viking/Nordic dancers and floats. To make sure that no one leaves hungry, the parade is followed by a community picnic at Robinson Park, behind city hall at 3rd Street and Alder Avenue, with games and free food.

Astoria If you enjoyed the Warrenton parade, you have plenty of time to cross the Youngs Bay Bridge to Astoria and become a part of the annual River Walk Twilight Parade, which starts at 8 p.m. at the Columbia River Maritime Museum (meet at 7:45 p.m.) and marches

stalwartly westward to the Sunset Empire Transit District parking lot on Ninth Street. You’ll be joining the Astoria Downtown Historical District Association Kazoo and Bucket Marching Band (they provide kazoos and buckets if you want to join in), and you might want to decorate your tricycle or wear a costume to get into the spirit of things. Then you can run back to the Maritime Museum, because this year the fireworks will be shot from a barge directly off the 17th Street dock near the museum. It begins at dusk (9:30 or 10 p.m.), and the fireworks display over the river is always a great show. Walk or bicycle if possible; traffic after the fireworks is always bad, and it will be worse yet with half the streets in Astoria dug up. Or you can view the fireworks from the Fort George Brewery, 1483 Duane St. The brewery again honors Independence Day this year with live music, beer and barbecue: Chef Dana MacAuley is preparing pulled pork, and a special Fourth of July IPA will be available to enjoy. Live music with the Don of Division Street and the Resolectrics starts at 5 p.m. in the Fort George parking lot.

Starting at the same time as Astoria’s fireworks is the great granddaddy of all fireworks displays, the you–ain’t-gonna-believe-this show along the 28 miles of the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula. A 28 milelong fireworks display? You bet. There are the official fireworks, set off in front of the Long Beach, Wash., boardwalk, and then there are the unofficial fireworks all along the beach both before the official display and long into the night. This doesn’t mean a bunch of kids throwing cherry bombs, no sir. In the state of Washington you can legally purchase almost any fireworks device that doesn’t involve nuclear fission. Of course, Washington does have some fireworks regulations; you can check them out athttp://www.mrsc.org/subjects/pubsafe/ firewk.aspx, if you’re concerned about being on the right side of the law. A small hint, and I’ll say nothing more: participating in cleanup the next morning can be worth your while. For more info, visit http://ourbeach.org

Ocean Park, Wash. The Grand Parade begins at noon, at U and Bay streets, and winds its way through downtown Ocean Park, Wash. Featured are family- and club-made floats, school bands, and all the usual accouterment of small town parades. Kids who want to join in the parade can decorate their bikes at the Bank of the Pacific (about mid-way on the route), and join the procession there.

Representing the south side of Cannon Beach in the 2012 Fourth of July parade were the Tolovana Treble Makers, a small band of musicians. The Tolovana area residents were among several local neighborhood groups that joined the parade last year. – PHOTO BY NANCY MCCARTHY

Ilwaco, Wash. If you awake on Saturday, July 6 (perhaps having slept through Friday), and feel that you still need another fireworks fix, the Port of Ilwaco, Wash., had you in mind. The port has its Fourth of July “Feel the Thunder!” fireworks on the Sixth of July, the day on which the Declaration of Independence was actually delivered to British authorities. This is a more intimate show, usually with several hundred locals and visitors, and there is plenty of free parking. The first shot is fired around 9:30 p.m., and the display goes on for half an hour. Consider arriving early to catch the Saturday Market (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.), and bring a blanket or chair. Best watching is either from the grass-covered pedestrian strip at the port or from Cape Disappointment. So there you have it: 51 miles of parades, fireworks and food. Have a great Independence Day!

There are many parades, barbecues, fireworks and fun to be had this year in our region to celebrate the Fourth of July. (Don't forget about the annual beach cleanup July 5!) – PHOTO BY DAMIAN MULINIX

Warren House Pub The Mouth feels right at home in this charming, cozy pub with its tasty soups, salads and salsa The Warren House Pub in Cannon Beach sits on the original homestead site of William and Emma Warren, and the cozy pub seems to reflect the history and charm of the bygone days of the Oregon coast. With its warm wooden interior, friendly service and hand-crafted ales – not to mention a wonderful ocean view – the Warren House Pub is an ideal choice for a casual meal enjoyed in the company of friends. I began my recent visit with the soup of the day: tangy cilantro lime soup, which was vegan and gluten-free. The soup was chock-full of tender vegetables, and pleasantly flavored with cumin for a southwestern taste. The soup was a bit spicy for my liking, but I was impressed with it on the whole, and I appreciate a soup of the day that can cater to those with dietary concerns. I might suggest the Warren House try a second iteration of the soup as a different daily special for meat lovers, and simply add chicken and perhaps top it with cheese; the same soup, two ways. A house salad arrived next with organic greens and vegetables, sunflower seeds, chick peas, and kalamata olives. I appreciate the nuance of this salad; these are not your run-of-the-mill greens with a handful of veggies, but rather an artfully prepared mélange of robust flavors. Sunflower seeds and chickpeas also provide a little punch of protein, something I don’t usually expect from a side salad, and if one paired it with the soup du jour, they would have a tasty, filling and healthy meal. When I am out reviewing restaurants, I always take into consideration whether I could prepare the dish better at home. In the case of my first appetizer, the Warren House homemade salsa with chips, I believe I could make it identically. I mean

that as a compliment; their salsa tastes exactly the same as the one I usually prepare, and I was pleased to taste what is a good salsa (without having to do any of the work myself). The tomatoes tasted fresh, and they married well with red onion, cilantro and lime juice. I should note that there is a distinction between salsa and “salsa cruda,” which is what the Warren House is serving; salsa means “sauce” and is often cooked to a thicker consistency, while salsa cruda features “crude” raw ingredients. Salsa cruda is similar in texture to pico de gallo (“rooster’s beak”). I was equally pleased with the barbecue “crow wings” I sampled next: chicken wings smothered in barbecue sauce and served with bleu cheese, carrots and celery. The wings were tender and flavorful and not as spicy as traditional hot wings. Bleu cheese dipping sauce is typically included with hot wings as a means of cooling down the wings, but

Bacon-wrapped filet mignon.

Sautéed prawns.

in this case it was not necessary. I found that the smoky barbecue flavor of the wings stood up well on its own, and though the bleu cheese dipping sauce, on its own, was also quite good, they didn’t play well off of one another. No matter though, as I simply ate the wings by themselves quite happily. As a first entrée I selected an 8-ounce filet mignon wrapped in pepper bacon and topped with grilled cremini mushrooms and horseradish sauce with red potatoes. Filet mignon (French for “cute fillet” or “dainty fillet”) is a cut of beef from the smaller end of the tenderloin, and is therefore more highly valued for its soft, tender texture. Unfortunately I found the steak itself relatively flavorless, and it was served to me well done rather than medium, as I had requested. The bacon and mushrooms didn’t seem to add very much character either, and I relied on the horseradish sauce in order to make the steak more palatable. This is not what

I would usually expect from a filet mignon. The red potatoes also didn’t seem to be seasoned very well, and they were not quite fork tender, which made them difficult to eat. I enjoyed the next entrée – prawns sautéed in wine, butter and garlic and served with garlic mashed potatoes – much more. The prawns were cooked perfectly, and the garlic mashed potatoes were simple, rustic and tasty. While on the whole I enjoyed the dishes from

With its warm wooden interior, friendly service and handcrafted ales – not to mention a wonderful ocean view – the Warren House Pub is an ideal choice for a casual meal enjoyed in the company of friends. the Warren House Pub, I’d like to make a note that I think their presentation on the plate could be improved. The salsa was served in the middle of a large platter with a few handfuls of chips, not enough to fill the plate, making it look sparse, and the chips were sliding all over when our server approached us. What about a funky basket lined with paper for the chips? While most of the dishes I sampled seemed perfectly ample in size, for the most part they were served on dishware that was too big, making the portions seem small and the presentation seem lacking. This in no way is a reflection of the quality of the food, but it has been said that we eat with the eyes first.

Fairweather House and Garden Patricia Clark-Finley to show encaustic art in new exhibit SEASIDE — Fairweather House and Garden will reveal artwork by Patricia Clark-Finley in a solo show with an artist reception 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 29. The artist will be in attendance to greet art patrons and showing her latest work in abstraction and encaustic art. Encaustic painting – also known as hot wax painting – first piqued Clark-Finley’s interest when she saw a show at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She was also attracted to its cultural history and the organic qualities of beeswax. Encaustic art is not damaged by light. It can be buffed with a soft cloth, so cleaning is not an issue. “With encaustic, I might achieve the textural depth and complexity I enjoy in abstract expressionism, with the incised precision of dry point line from

T he

Illah ee A partm ents

etching,” the artist says. “I find the jewel-like colors of encaustic too seductive to resist, so I just go with that. I use the most intense pigments I can find and mix that with resin and natural beeswax.” Viewers will find issues of migration, movement and constant change in her art. “My own nomadic wandering is both intellectual and also physical, as my studio location and my reading list seems to change every few years,” Clark-Finley said. “The birds which populate my images seem to echo this freedom of wandering. Most recently, the broad expanse of abstraction and light are inspired by the weather watching I do from my studio windows. “My work interprets a shimmer of rustling breezes, of rocky shores and craggy islands that support their forests in shifting patterns of shadow and light. Objects drop away, leaving optic remnants of transparency, light and color.” Clark-Finley studied at the University of Washington and

University of California, Berkeley and completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the San Francisco Art Institute. She launched her first solo exhibition in San Francisco in 1991 and was included in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Gallery. She also creates the labels and brand identity for Mount Baker Vineyards, the winery she and her husband, Randy Finley, have made into a well-established player in the Northwest

North Coast Symphonic Band Free patriotic concerts on tap ASTORIA — Bring your family and friends and join your neighbors in the community for a free concert of patriotic and pop music by the North Coast Symphonic Band 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, July 3, at the Liberty Theater, 1203 Commercial St. The NCSB’s appearance at the Liberty is made possible by a donation from Mike Green and Wendy Dornan of Astoria. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and the pre-

show featuring the NCSB Jazz Band begins at 7 p.m. NCSB will be conducted by Steve Kuske of Sherwood. Kuske is an Astoria High School graduate and an award-winning music instructor at Evergreen High School in Vancouver, Wash. This will be his second appearance as guest conductor. Master of Ceremonies for the concert will be David Hall of Astoria. Hall is a popular classical

music programmer on KMUN. Kuske selected pieces for the concert that invite audience participation: toe-tapping, singing along or smiles. He hopes that whole families will attend the free concert and have a great time. Kuske was eager to return to Astoria because he has great childhood memories of the area. He says Astoria is an important cultural community; not only are North Coasters friendly and kind, but the community supports the arts, which brings a sophistication to the area that is admirable. In addition to music selec-

tions that will inspire pride on America’s national holiday, Kuske has selected familiar marches, selections from the musical “The Wizard of Oz,” and traditional sing-a-longs. Featured soloists for the evening include horn player Allan Stromquist, also a former AHS graduate, who makes a career in music in the Portland metro area; Ken Chapman, a former AHS theater and speech teacher who will recite the Red Skelton version of the Pledge of Allegiance; and Bob Walters, retired music teacher from the Ocean Beach School District in

TRL’s summer program is for youth of all ages from newborns through age 18. It begins at the all branch libraries when schools are out. Children, teens, parents and caregivers may begin picking up their “Summer at the Library” kits now. Each kit is stuffed with newly designed materials, including a calendar of programs and events to hang on the refrigerator, age-appropriate reading and activity logs, coupons and prize-drawing entry forms, and new booklists. All materials, programs and activities are free of charge. All program details are available at libraries and online at www.TRL.org

Themes let kids dig into interests Last year’s summer themes encouraged kids to dream big and teens to “own the night.” This year kids will dig down. Through books, programs, activities and special performances, children will “Dig into Reading,” exploring farms and gardens, dinosaurs and other fossils, and creatures who live

below the ground and under the sea. Teens will seek “Beneath the Surface,” unearthing worlds and hidden creatures, unraveling secrets and mysteries, discovering the inner self, and shining a light on underground societies. Other activities include contests, “Zines for Teens,” booksand-snacks parties, movies, gaming, Minecraft parties, art, crafts and more. New this year, TRL is piloting a program to bring teens together around one book and author. All teens are invited to read or listen to “Cinder” by Marissa Meyer, the critically acclaimed author of the young adult science fiction series The Lunar Chronicles. “Cinder” is a futuristic retelling of the Cinderella tale set in a dystopian New Beijing. Cinder is a gifted mechanic, a cyborg whose robot body parts allow others to treat her as a second-class citizen. When Prince Kai visits her shop with a broken android, and her sweet stepsister Peony contracts the deadly new plague, Cinder pursues a way to help them both, while keeping the secret of her mysterious past and who she is be-

Programs and Special Events Libraries will host professional performances, programs and book discussions, and present art activities, scavenger hunts, and stuffed animal sleepovers. They’ll conduct games, activities and contests, both in libraries and online, and guide kids and parents to the best books and films. Each Timberland library will present two or more children’s and all-ages performers, including Glenda Bonin (puppets), Brownsmead Flats (folk music), Buck and Elizabeth (music, ventriloquism and humor), Ian Dobson (Caribbean steel drum music and culture), Eric Haines (comedian-juggler-one man band), and Chris Fascione (literature in stories, mime and clowning). Favorites such as magician Jeff Evans, noise impressionist Charlie Williams, medieval era

re-enactors the Knights of Veritas, and others will perform at several libraries. In keeping with this year’s children’s theme, new family programs such as “Composting” and “Dig into Dinosaurs” have been developed by TRL youth librarians. Full of stories, activities and creative crafts, they will be presented at many branches.

Prizes and coupons Summer at the Library abounds with opportunities to win prizes and mementos. To start things off, during the week of June 24 to 29, each Timberland library will draw three winners of one-day free passes to any Washington State Park. Each pass admits one vehicle to a state park on a summer day of the winner’s choice. The passes are provided by Washington State Parks in honor of the its 100th Centennial. The drawing is open only to children and teens who sign up for the Library’s Summer Reading Program. One entry per child or teen. Other prizes offered by every TRL include books, passes to NorthwestTrek or the Point Defiance Zoo and the new Hands On Children’s Museum as well as coupons and small souvenirs of summer at the library.

Jennie Shortridge to read from latest book

Continued from Page 11

MANZANITA — The Manzanita Writers’ Series welcomes author Jennie Shortridge, who will read from her latest book, “Love Water Memory,” 7 p.m. Friday, June 28 at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave. Admission for the evening is $7. Publishers Weekly described “Love Water Memory” as “warmly emotional ... (the) touching story of a woman who recovers her identity while also realizing the cost of repression.” The novel’s main character, Lucie, wakes up knee-deep in the San Francisco Bay with no understanding of how she got there. After being diagnosed with a rare form of amnesia, the 39-year-old returns to her previous life with a fiance in Seattle only to find evidence of the “old” Lucie: an insecure and shallow personality she no longer recognizes or wants to. In addition to five novels, Shortridge’s nonfiction work has appeared in national magazines and newspapers. When not writing, teaching writers workshops or volunteering, Shortridge stays

Plein Air & More Primary Elements Gallery: The tireless Stephanie Ansley, owner of the gallery, will showcase the work of 19 artists this year, among them: Marianne Post, who has a painterly impressionistic style; Rob Ramage, who sees nature as a way to clear out everyday clutter; and Heather Soderberg, who was a child prodigy whose work was featured in People magazine and National Geographic. She has bought the foundry where she works and moved it to the heart of the Columbia River Gorge.

busy as a founding member of Seattle7Writers.org, a collective of authors devoted fundraising for community literacy projects and to raising awareness of Northwest literature. Shortridge kicked off the Manzanita Writer’s Series in June 2008, so it’s only fitting that she’s back to celebrate MWS’s fifth year. Following Shortridge’s reading and question-and-answer session, there will be an open mic where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work.

Sharon Amber Fine Jewelry: Sharon Amber is best known for her jewelry designs, pieces that incorporate local gems carved into mermaids, seascapes and faces. During Plein Air & More, she will carve local sandstone or marble into images related to the sea outside her gallery. White Bird Gallery: Pamela Wachtler-Fermanis paints en plein air to capture the fleeting qualities of light and the immediacy of the moment. Christopher Mathie is a treat to watch because of his fast-paced, high-energy painting technique. He paints confidently, out of long experience, deconstructing images to their essence. Dave and Boni Deal have collaborated in clay for more than 30 years, working in raku since the 1970s. They will do a raku firing on the beach. With so many fabulous artists to watch, so many receptions to attend and so many galleries to visit, anyone who comes to Cannon Beach during Plein Air & More will be endlessly fascinated, surprised and entertained.

7 p.m. Friday, June 28 Hoffman Center 594 Laneda Ave., Manzanita hoffmanblog.org $7 Please note: This event is on a Friday night – not the Manzanita Writers’ Series usual Saturday night. More information is available at hoffmanblog.org or by contacting Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@gmail.com

"Untitled" by Marilyn Joyce, of Portland. “Walking in the hills of Northwest Portland has been the subject and inspiration of my work for seven years. I notice, watch, measure, take in and reflect upon what was seen and felt in the natural environment,” she says. Joyce’s work will be on display in the show "Observations" at Cannon Beach Gallery, which opens at the festival. – SUBMITTED PHOTO

Hoffman Center 15th annual Trash Art Show calls for art MANZANITA — Get out your cool junk – it’s time to make trash art. The Trash Art Show is all about creating something beautiful or thought-provoking with that interesting stuff you’ve been collecting for the past year. All the rules are made to be broken when creating trash art. From repurposing chipped, castoff dishes into beautiful mosaics, to using old lawn mower parts to make a kinetic sculpture – everything is fair game. You can deliver trash art for the show between 1 and 4 p.m. Saturday, June 29 or Sunday,

June 30 at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave. Late entries will not be accepted. Artists may submit up to three pieces of work. There is no entry fee, and the only stipulations are that all artwork must be made with recycled, repurposed or reused materials and must fit through a standard-size door. Each submitted piece must have a title and be ready for hanging or display. The 15th annual Trash Art Show is a local tradition and creative fundraiser. This year’s show will benefit CARTM and Hoff-

man Center. If you submit work, it must be for sale, with the split being 50 percent to the artist and 50 percent donated to CARTM and Hoffman Center. The Trash Art Show opens on 6:30 to 8 p.m. Friday, July 5 and runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 6 and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, July 7 at the Hoffman Center. The show will feature work by dozens of local and regional artists, all using recycled materials.

CARTM and the Hoffman Center are both 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations and are registered partners with the Oregon Cultural Trust. For more information about CARTM, visit www.cartm.org. For more information about the Hoffman Center, visit www.hoffmanblog.org For more information about the Trash Art Show, contact Carl Vandervoort at 503-368-3805, 503-737-5585 or carlvandervoort@mac.com

: rn o B I was born in Liberal, Kan., and raised on a farm 15 miles south of Hugoton, Kan. Lives now: Currently I live in Cannon Beach with my husband, John. We moved here in 2009. What instruments do you play and how long have you played? I’ve heard you sing as well? I play the piano and organ, and I’m also a singer. I have sung for as long as I remember and according to my parents, sang before I talked. I began piano lessons at the age of 7 and learned to play the organ at age 10.

Do you play with any local groups? I am the pianist for the Cannon Beach Chorus and the organist for Cannon Beach Community Church and Calvary Episcopal in Seaside. What made you get involved with music? Music has always been a priority in my life, and I don’t know that there has been a day without it. I had “odd” jobs at certain times, but music became my profession and career. You used to teach at a university in Kansas. What did you teach? My husband and I

taught at Baker University in Baldwin City, Kan., for 25 years. While there, I taught primarily voice, voice-related courses and keyboard skills for music majors, and I was the pianist for the choral department. While teaching in England in 2001, I taught music appreciation, music history and jazz history. As the new president of Friday Musical Club next year, what do you hope to accomplish? I was recently elected president of the Friday Musical Club and was pleased when the club members voted at the April meeting to include men in our membership. Since its formation in 1907, the club has been a “women-only” organization, so I’m happy to announce that we are now pleasingly inclusive. The club offered lesson scholarships to eight young musicians this year, and I have no doubt that the numbers may increase next year. What do you like about teaching private music lessons? I think one of the most challenging and rewarding aspects of teaching voice is the individual voice itself. Every singer in my studio is unique, and each voice enters with its specific strength, weakness, problems, issues, etc. One size

does not fit all; therefore, the path to vocal growth and success winds differently for each singer as does the most effective route for piano students. I definitely glory in the progress made by each student and celebrate their achievements. I do believe that thoughtful and knowledgeable attention must be given to each individual, and I am devoted to the excellence that can be achieved by dedicated students. How do you occupy your time when you aren’t playing or teaching music? My days are quite full with teaching a music appreciation course at Clatsop Community College, teaching private voice and piano lessons, playing for church and the Cannon Beach Chorus, and continuing to hone my own skills. However, I am quite pleased that my ability to practice has become easier since we purchased our house and my studio is now housed in our home. I’m finding that yard work is demanding my attention at this point in time. ivFeM i utensW i tho fer as Q&A w ith an artist, musician, thespian or writer involved in the local art scene.
