Drummers, fireworks on tap for Seaside Fourth By R.J. MARX EO MEDIA GROUP
SEASIDE — The drums are beating for the Fourth of July, and the brass will sound. Four world-class bands will provide rhythmic support for hundreds of marchers and thousands of visitors this Independence Day. Presented by the Seaside Chamber of Commerce, pyrotechnics specialist Larry Krieghauser will not only light up the skies, but serves as volunteer coordinator for four drum and bugle corps — 550 performers in all. The Oregon Crusaders will be joined by the Battalion from Salt Lake City, Utah; the Santa Clara
coast
Vanguard, number four in the world, from Santa Clara, California; and the Spokane Thunder from Spokane, Washington. The parade begins at 11 a.m., at which time bands will join marchers; at 2 p.m., a free show will feature all four drum corps at Broadway Field. Kriegshauser was introduced to drum corps in 1981, when his son marched. “We’ve had some of the top corps,” he said. “These young people, 15 to 21, they will outperform any military or marching band.” Kriegshauser will be operating with a budget of $56,000 for transportation and lodging for musicians, who perform without fee.

. The parade route has been shortened due Holladay Drive roadwork. Parade participants will line up on Necanicum Drive from First Avenue to 12th Avenue, the opposite direction from years past.
The parade will turn east from Necanicum across the First Avenue Bridge and then south to Holladay, west on Broadway, north on Columbia, and then east on First Avenue, ¿nishing at Necanicum. From 1 to 3 p.m. is the Old-Fashioned Social at the Seaside Historical Museum. At 3 p.m. on the Prom, the Northwest Skyliners present a stunt-kite display. Fireworks begin at 10 p.m. at the Turnaround. The show, produced by Western Display Fireworks, is called “Fire in the Sky,” and will feature more than 9,500 pyrotechnic shots, all timed to music. “If you can’t hear the music, you’re not hearing the show,” Kriegshauser said.
Fireworks are launched by computer, set to synchronize with Elvis Presley, John Philip Sousa and Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture. The sky will light up rain or shine. Kriegshauser (and others) are hoping they do not see a repeat of the 2015 extravaganza, at which a Mylar balloon knocked out power to the city for hours. He described it as “very scary” — 40,000 people with no lights, pits on the beach and darkness falling. On July 5, from 8 to 11 a.m., is the Treasure the Beach Cleanup. Locations are The Turnaround, Avenue U and the Prom, and 12th and Prom. Volunteers at the three locations will provides trash bags.

Sou’Wester hosts Audios Amigos Tickets on sale now for 13th annual SEAVIEW, Wash. — The Sou’Wester Lodge will host Portland surf-rock instrumental group Audios Amigos for a performance at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 2. The show is open to the public, and there is no cover charge. The band consistently brings a high-energy live show that will induce volun-
tary and involuntary movements of the arms, legs and any other bodily attachments. Band members often wear mariachi or classic Western inspired suits — but authentic suits are impossible to ¿nd in Portland (especially on a musician’s budget), so the band has made their own homespun versions.
The Amigos have shared gigs with Red Fang, Sir Richard Bishop, Bob Log III, The Pork Torta, Pierced Arrows, Southern Culture on the Skids, The Reigning Sound, The Chop Tops and more. The Sou’Wester is located at 3728 J Place. For more information, call 360-6422542.

Cannon Beach Cottage & Garden Tour CANNON BEACH — Attention, history hounds, architecture enthusiasts and the coastally curious: It’s nearly time to put on your walking shoes to take a tour through Cannon Beach’s unique homes and cottages. The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum will celebrate its 13th year of opening the doors to grand beach homes, historic cottages and architectural wonders in the coastal town this September with its Cottage & Garden Tour. Over the years the tour has received accolades from Oregon Home Magazine, Sunset Magazine, The Oregonian, Seattle Times, Oregon Coast Magazine and more. Not many home tours take place with the 3aci¿c Ocean and one of the most iconic Oregon images, Haystack Rock, in view. Cannon Beach has been a destination community since the late 1800s. The August 1891 issue of the The Daily Astorian declared the settlement a “sportsman’s paradise” — ideal for rest and recuperation. It was alluring for both its seaside location and its unequivocal charm. That charm will be on full display during the cottage tour. The event, a fundraiser for the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum, is scheduled for Sept. 9 to 11. Tickets are on sale now. The tour is a multi-day event that begins with an exclusive concert and reception on Friday, Sept. 9. Start the weekend on the right foot with Kelsey Mousley and The Next Right Thing. Mousley has been performing for just over a decade and has been compared to a young Diana Krall. Tasty morsels will be provided by Sea Level Bak-

ery and Newman’s at 988. On Saturday, attendees are invited to a special luncheon and lecture at the Tolovana Inn. This year’s lecture will focus on vintage and traditional design and the reawakening of these styles in home design. The speaker, Libby Holah, received her master of architecture from Washington University and has had her vintage and historic designs featured in 1859 Magazine. The tour of homes will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. Sept. 10. This year the tour will take place in the Tolovana area of Cannon Beach. Attendees will have the opportunity to tour historic cottages (the original tiny house), grand beach homes, lodges and inviting gardens. One of the highlights of the 2016 tour will be the former summer cottage of Frank and Irta Wood¿eld. Frank Wood¿eld was a proli¿c and acclaimed photographer of the Oregon Coast and Astoria during the early 1900s. His wife, Irta, was a talented poet. Both had a love of Cannon Beach that was obvious from their works, which will be on display. Following the tour,
attendees are invited to a concert and reception at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum. Take off your walking shoes and slip on your dancing shoes for the Saturday night concert featuring Maggie & the Cats. Local libations will be Àowing thanks to Nehalem Bay Winery and Fort George Brewery. This event is included in the cost of home tour tickets. The ¿nal event of the weekend is an English-style garden tea at the Tolovana Inn on Sunday, Sept. 11. Attendees will enjoy tea and treats while listening to a presentation by guest speaker, Sherian Wright, a published Northwest author and naturalist. Her presentation will focus on beekeeping for the backyard gardener. Tickets for each event may be purchased individually, or as a weekend package. Many of these events sell out, so make your plans ahead of time.

A sisterhood of song
Astoria Music Festival concludes with ‘Little Women’ By PATRICK WEBB
ASTORIA MUSIC FESTIVAL
FOR COAST WEEKEND
‘Who will we be tomorrow? It’s not in my control. I know that for a moment, we were four sisters . . . one soul. On to tomorrow, each to her separate goal.’ — “Let Me Look At You,� the finale to “Little Women� by Mark Adamo
C
Can you control another person’s destiny? Perhaps it is better to ask: How long does it take for an adult to learn he or she cannot? “Little Women,� Louisa May Alcott’s tale of sisters growing up in New England after the Civil War, asks both questions and comes to a distinct conclusion. American composer Mark Adamo makes that the theme of the concluding quartet of his operatic version, which will be staged this weekend to complete the 2016 Astoria Music Festival. The Friday evening show and Saturday matinee at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center will conclude three weeks of 13
classical concerts that have lured appreciative crowds to the North Coast for the 14th annual festival. The four sisters will be played by the actresses who sang the roles in the Eugene Opera production in May. That show was directed by the opera company’s general manager, Mark Beudert, and conducted by its musical director, Andrew Bisantz. Both return to coordinate the Astoria production, with members of the Astoria Music Festival apprentice vocal artists program joining the cast. However, instead of an orchestra, which was used in Eugene, Adamo’s music will be played by solo pianist Jeremy Reger. Beudert, who is the director of the festival’s
‘Little Women’ Opera sung in English, based on the book by Louisa May Alcott, music and libretto by Mark Adamo, directed by Mark Beudert and conducted by Andrew Bisantz, featuring pianist Jeremy Reger and a cast from Eugene Opera and the Astoria Music Festival apprentice artists. 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 1, and 2 p.m. Saturday, July 2, at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, 16th Street and Franklin Avenue, in Astoria.

It was commissioned by the Houston Grand Opera and has been performed around the United States and in Canada, Israel, Australia and Belgium. The Boston Globe called it “The ‘Cinderella’ of recent American operas.â€? Critics have highlighted the manner in which Adamo uses recurring musical themes to contrast the lead
character Jo’s stubbornness with her sisters’ acceptance of change. While he acknowledges that many readers see Alcott’s classic as a story of a free-spirited writer torn between the love of the boy next door and a man of the world, Adamo once offered a more complex interpretation. “Closer reading of Louisa May Alcott’s novel revealed to me a deeper theme: that even those we love will, in all innocence, wound and abandon us until we learn that their destinies are not

2 SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk, celebrating 12 years in 2016, is all about the arts. Visitors walk about, meet artists, sip wine or snag appetizers, view artist demonstrations, listen to an artist talk or enjoy live performances in music. The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 2 at galleries located in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. SunRose Gallery 606 Broadway Seattle-based fiber collage artist Robin Montero returns to SunRose for her second show, exploring needle felting and Bas-relief wool sculpture. Unlike a flat painting, Bas-relief has a dimensional appearance like a cameo, balancing depth through texture using a barbed needle to bond the fibers together with their surroundings. Ocean life is a favorite inspiration. In addition to her fiber art, Montero will introduce her art jewelry made of resin, known as “doming,” where twopart epoxy is applied to a photo. The image becomes magnified and preserved, then Montero molds it into bracelets and pendants. The Gilbert District Gallery 613 Broadway The gallery, a co-op shared by artists from Washington and Oregon, is celebrating12 years and features watercolors, bronze sculptures, giclee prints, Native American jewelry, oil paintings, greeting cards, nature designs and gifts. Artists include Mike Sage, photographer Steve Bash and more. Gallery co-owner Dave Bartholet will reveal the original watercolor “Steen’s Mountain.” Enjoy live music and refreshments. SeaSoles Boutique 608 Broadway Artist Angela Whitlock has lived on the North Coast for 16 years. A professionally trained jewelry maker and Astoria goldsmith, Whitlock enjoys playing with creative expression. She works in
many mediums, including collage, painting, pen and ink, found object assemblage, and crochet. Lately drawn to producing wearable art made of sterling silver, brass, copper, fresh water pearl and sea glass, Whitlock’s greatest inspiration comes from long beach walks with her dog. The curve of a piece of driftwood, a barnacle-encrusted seashell, a clutch of squid eggs or the changing ocean is all inspiration for the artist. Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway Attend the opening reception for “Power of Two,” an exhibition featuring regional artists whose body of work reads like an oasis of calm, a subtle backdrop during business of high summer. “Without giving too much away, the artists arriving are watercolorist Paul Brent, oil painter Victoria Brooks, wood turner Daniel Harris, textile artist Sherry Harris, jeweler Cindy Bricca, textile artist Linda Ballard, wood worker Mike Brown and toothpick artist Marga Stanley, each with a connection to the number two,” says gallery owner and show curator Denise Fairweathe. “Meeting an artist in person and listening to an artist talk is half the fun of attending an art walk.” Seaside nature photographer Neal Maine introduces his latest natural history journal of images and will speak at 6 p.m. A Painting Seaside Live demonstration will be offered by Brent. Adult beverages, light refreshments and door prizes offered by the featured artists will be provided.

Participating artists for the July show “Ebb and Flow” are Jeffrey Hall, Annie Brown, Barbara Martin, Elina Zeberg, Jim Zaleski, Amy Brodie-Osborne, Patricia Krishnamurthy and Bruce Ulrich.

Zaleski combines painting and drawing with a computer world to produce art loaded with whimsy. Brodie-Osborne focuses on bold acrylic abstracts. Krishnamur-
thy’s on-going series explores the nature of aging in an increasingly youth-oriented culture. Ulrich’s work has been accepted in the National Watercolor Society Annual Show. T.Anjuli’s Gallery 7 N. Holladay Drive Gallery owner and artist Billy Lutz focuses on what lies beneath appearances in his artwork. More original art: Seaside Coffee House, 3 N.

that, when done right, breading can go toe-to-toe with beer-batter. Second, it got me excited about fish and chips, a dish so ubiquitous on the North Coast that it had become stale in my mind. With Grizzly Tuna, though, on each return trip I found myself in the throws of greater appreciation. It wasn’t boring; it was growing on me — a simple pleasure delivered distinctly, with crunch!

THE OREGON DRIFT WOOD FORT
BRIGADE MANIFESTO
Throw off the yoke of indoorism, hit the beach and build a fort Story and photos by MATT LOVE
T
he Oregon Driftwood Fort Brigade Manifesto: (compiled after a recent mission to Fort Stevens State Park where 42 Oregonians constructed 10 forts in two hours). A spectre is haunting America — the spectre of indoorism. All the powers of the New Digital have entered into a holy alliance to strengthen this spectre: phones and video, Internet and networks, games and hashtagging, tech billionaires and spit¿re gadgetry. The Oregon Driftwood Fort Brigade asks you to throw off the yoke of indoorism this summer, get outside, hit the beach, gather driftwood, and build a fort by yourself or with friends, family, dogs. Relish the labor. Collaborate. Support. Talk. Invent. Try out ideas. Invite others. Amend them. Discard what doesn¶t ¿t. (mbrace what does. Seize the metaphor you are fashioning with your own two hands. (rect spars and stanchions. Hoist, maneuver and interlock crooked wood into shelter, art, studios, secret portals; make pure whimsy or precise architecture that enchants fellow beachcombers. Watch from afar as they crawl inside the structures and return to childhood. Watch them take naps, too. It always happens. Turn detritus into delight, Àotsam into fun. Add a little cairn here and there for extra measure. Let everything go with the old sound of the ocean roaring in the background. Relaxation will in¿ltrate every atom of your existence. All of this is free to do. Indoorism costs a lot of money
and allows corporations to amass incredible wealth and collect data on everything a person does. Forage for wood! Fortify your life and ¿nd the fort within. Forswear the ¿endish foes that ¿nagle frantic fatigue from your soul. Fight the fastidious factory mentality with the fulminations of facetiousness that enable you to forget the furor. Find the best F word in the vocabulary and free it to Ày like a falcon and Àoat on forever.

Kids can ride their bikes in Warrenton’s Fourth of July Parade.
Find old-fashioned Fourth of July fun in Warrenton WARRENTON — Independence Day events will span the afternoon on Monday, July 4 in Warrenton. Things get started from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Robinson Community Park behind City Hall with a classic car show and motorcycle tailgate party. Both are free. The Warrenton Fire¿ghters Association will host a free community barbecue from noon to 3 p.m. at the ¿re station on Main Avenue. While you grab a burger, kids can enjoy games and decorate their bikes for the parade in the gravel lot. Then at 3 p.m., the main event starts: the 2016 Old-Fashioned Fourth of July Parade. The theme this year is Marching Through Time. The parade will start on Main Avenue and travel from the post of¿ce to Warrenton Grade School. Sponsored by the city and Warrenton Business Association, the parade is one Warrenton’s largest events. “The turnout should be spectacular this year,” said parade director Cindy Yingst. Longtime residents LeRoy and Muriel will be the grand marshals of this year’s parade. LeRoy, 82, and Muriel, 78, are active in local and national veterans
groups, senior organizations and other groups that do good deeds for the community. In 2013, the couple won the Richard Ford Award for community service from the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce. LeRoy is a volunteer for Start Making a Reader Today, and Muriel serves on the Warrenton High School Scholarships Board of Directors and is active with Warrenton Senior Inc’s luncheon program. “When you think about the people in your community, every town wants more residents like LeRoy and Muriel,” said Yingst. The couple married in 1956 at Warrenton Christian Church and raised three children. Their daughter died in a car accident when she was in her teens, and the Dunns established a scholarship in her name, which is given each year to a WHS senior. LeRoy was bus driver for Warrenton schools and Tongue Point Job Corps for 43 years, retiring in 2002. Prior to that, he served two decades in the Army and Army Reserves. LeRoy is quartermaster and chaplain for VFW Fort Stevens Post 10580; Muriel is treasurer of the post’s auxiliary.

as the Frog’s kindly servant tirelessly tries to set things right. Even the Queen, kindly Princess Proper, and spunky Princess Peppy get involved and, despite the trouble caused by the nasty Venus Fly Traps, all ends happily. The hero becomes a Prince (formerly known as Frog) and realizes that friendships are made, not bought — and he discovers that it is not what you are but who you are that counts. Tickets for the July 23 performances are available at the Liberty Box Office, 503-325-5922, ext. 55 and at the door. Tickets will cost $10 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and military.

camp of fun, rehearsal and performance. This version of “The Frog Prince” was conceived and written by Michael McGill. Music and lyrics are by McGill with additional music by Rebecca McGill. Deep in the royal swamp, a lonely Frog retrieves a golden ball for Princess Prim in exchange for friendship and comfort. The spoiled princess doesn’t want to live up to her part of the bargain, and she puts her royal Knights on alert. So the trouble begins. Luckily, Frog gets some good advice from Ollie the wise old Aspen tree, the well-read Alligator, and the kindly Swamp Things. The Ducks, a busy Fly, and dancing Flamingos also come to Frog’s assistance

The banana slug can grow to almost 10 inches long and is a master decomposer.
Ariolimax columbianus Pacific banana slug By LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS
A native of the forest floor from southeast Alaska all the way to Southern California, the Pacific banana slug especially thrives in the moist environs of our local coastal woodlands. The second largest species of terrestrial slug on the planet, it can grow to almost 10 inches long and weigh as much as four ounces. Typically yellow in color (denoting its common name), this slug can also appear greenish, brown, tan, or even white, and often exhibits dark brown spots. Using a muscular foot, it moves at a rate of six inches per minute. Well-known for its slimy reputation, A. columbianus is offensively gross to many, but widely misunderstood. Serv-
ing as a master decomposer, it consumes forest plant matter at an almost alarming rate, helping spread seeds and spores in the process, all the while excreting a nitrogen-rich fertilizer — further securing its place of importance in the nutrient cycle. While admittedly off-putting to most humans, the thick mucous secreted by a banana slug aids in the multiple purposes of respiration, locomotion, self-protection against predators, and perhaps most importantly, the attraction of a mate. Laced with pheromones, the slime — a universal delicacy among slugs — draws potential partners toward each other at the beginning of what will become a long and slow (very, very slow) courtship. Though possessing both male and female genitalia,
and biologically capable of self-fertilization, the hermaphroditic banana slug prefers to expand its gene pool by mating with another slug. In a ritual of copulation that would make even a presidential candidate blush, mating slugs stimulate one another for hours until penises erupt from their heads — sometimes as long as the slug’s whole body — then exchange sperm and store it to fertilize their own eggs internally. To disengage from intercourse, the slug gnaws off its own penis. On the brighter side, Pacific banana slugs have two sets of tentacles: The upper pair, known as eyestalks, are responsible for sensing light and motion; the lower pair detect chemicals or distinguish smells. With incredible dexterity, the slug can retract or extend the tentacles at will, and should one be lost, the slug can grow a new one. (Sadly, this regenerative property does not apply to genitalia.) Some reports indicate that licking the underside of a banana slug will make one’s tongue go numb; only the most intrepid scientists among us know for sure.
Thirty-one years is a long time between visits to a bar, but it sure has a nice ring to it. About a month ago, I walked into the Bridge Tender in Seaside, ordered a beer, watched a slack Necanicum River from the corner window, and dived back into my personal history. It was noon on a weekday. I had nothing to do. Seaside felt listless under overcast skies. The last time I patronized the Bridge Tender was the summer of 1985 when I was 21 years old. My buddies and I were
rampaging through town, acting dumb, living the loose life that characterized that era. Let me admit something: I miss the loose American life. I want to write a book about the important lack of looseness in our culture without sounding nostalgic. Is that possible? Is it possible to make the case for loose again and commit to a Giant National Untethering? Let’s get it loose. Let it loose. I surveyed the Bridge Tender. It seemed pretty much the same as I remembered it from my

youth. The gritty wood interior was still intact! Thank the gods of Oregon tavern life. Yes, there was liquor and micro beers now, video slots, a Àatscreen T9 and clear air. But there were also plenty of cultural items from the loose past: a cigarette machine, a (non-internet) jukebox, pool tables, and locals talking gossip about other locals who didn’t measure up in multiple categories of human measuring. I could listen to these men for hours spin their yarns of eternal looseness. I might also add that not a single Bridge Tender customer was ¿ddling on a smartphone, dinking on a tablet or seemingly concerned that work needed doing somewhere else. They were fall feeling, unhurried, talking good profane talk and extolling the virtues of naps. It’s called loose.
