Neal Maine will speak about the coastal temperate rainforest March 16 at Seaside library.

Neal Maine to explain ‘How to See a Rainforest’ Go below the surface March 16 SEASIDE — Rain plus trees equals rainforest, right? Not really, says naturalist and photographer Neal Maine. That equation doesn’t begin to capture the complex interactions among air, water, leaf, soil, microorganisms and all the other elements required to create a temperate rainforest.

Maine will lead a conversation in words and images about the forest native to this coast in the free presentation “How to See a Rainforest,� at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 16 at Seaside Public Library. It’s the third program in the 2016

Listening to the Land speaker series, which is focused on the theme of water. Refreshments will be served.

To begin to understand the local rainforest — past, present and future — you need to do more than follow the rain as it splashes on a tree’s needles, runs down the bark, and reaches the roots in the soil. “They look like a bunch of individual trees, but in fact they are literally all communicating with one another,�

Maine says.

Maine will take listeners below the surface, from how things seem to work to how — according to the latest science — they really work, plus what scientists still don’t understand about the rainforest.

Beers to Your Health 7 p.m. Thursday, March 10

Dr. Tracy Erfling gives free talk March 10 ASTORIA — Astoria Co-op Grocery hopes to get your blood pumping with its next Beers to Your Health monthly food and wellness talk on Thursday, March 10. The circulatory system is important, and a local naturopath will teach attendees why. Dr. Tracy (rÀing¶s talk, ³Headto-Toes Circulatory Health,” will start at 7 p.m. The free event will take place at the Fort George Lovell Showroom, located at 426 14th St.; all ages are welcome. ³This is a great time of year for a circulatory review since we¶re moving out of the cold and dark; we can plan ways to boost things we¶re doing for our circulatory system,” Dr. (rÀing said. ³3eople might not be moving as much, and with the passing of that sedentary, heavy-food time of year, we want to start a clearing process. This should be a refreshing talk to get people excited about movement, activity and health.”

All cells in the body need oxygen and nutrients as well as waste removal. This is an important role of the circulatory system. The heart, blood vessels, lymphatic system and blood itself work together to service the cells of the body.

Using the network of arteries, veins and capillaries, blood carries carbon dioxide to the lungs (for exhalation) and picks up oxygen. From the small intestine, the blood gathers food nutrients and delivers them to cells throughout the body. (rÀing will review this system, problems that can affect its function, and therapeutic ideas for health and healing. There are many ways to naturally boost your circulatory system, and exercise is one example. ³:hen we move our muscles, it assists the pumping of blood around the body.

Fort George Lovell Showroom 426 14th St., Astoria All ages Free

Manzanita celebrates its

‘library of the future’ After an extensive renovation, the North Tillamook Library will hold a Grand Reopening celebration March 12

T

he value of a public library goes beyond shelves full of books and banks of computers. Residents of smaller North Coast communities rely on libraries as hubs to gather and learn, explore, interact and imagine.

To ensure that it would continue to be a hub for the area it serves — Manzanita, Nehalem and Wheeler — North Tillamook Library in Manzanita recently underwent an extensive renovation. With a Grand Re-opening Celebration set for Saturday, March 12, North Tillamook Library patrons are eager for their “library of the future.”

The Manzanita branch of the Tillamook Library System opened in 1987. Nearly 30 years later, the building had become a bit dog-eared, not unlike many of the books lining its shelves: worn furniture, old carpeting, outdated heaters, limited technology.

In addition, the entire west corner of the building needed leveling after settling about three inches.

North Tillamook Library Friends, an all-volunteer organization that owns and maintains the building, realized that a few cosmetic ¿xes wouldn¶t suf¿ce if the library was going to last another 30 years.

“It really kicked off in 2014 when we participated in the Library Of The Future Project,” says Kay Stepp, board president of the North Tillamook Library Friends.

The project, run by Tillamook County Library, was a study that discussed what libraries are becoming and how communities are developing them.

“We realized that libraries were becoming more than just a repository for books,” Stepp says, adding that it had become apparent that the digital world was coming to libraries.

“People come to the library with their devices to work, study and research,” she says.

Besides gearing up for increased demand for technology, the library also wanted to enhance its ability to offer a variety of educational programs.

The renovation of the North TIllamook Library in Manzanita will culminate in a Grand Reopening celebration at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 12.

Volunteers removed nearly 10,000 books from North Tillamook Library in preparation for the extensive remodel.

Much of North Tillamook Library’s furniture, fixtures and lighting hadn’t been replaced since the building opened in 1987.

New furniture and lighting lend a comfortable feel to the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita.

With these things in mind, renovating and modernizing the building dovetailed into one project.

The project to-do list was extensive, and, luckily, the Library Friends had received a $50,000 bequest from the estate of Linda Anne Easley, a part-time Manzanita resident and former Multnomah County librarian.

“It was a spark-plug; it told us ‘we can do this,¶” Stepp says.

The bequest allowed the Library Friends

to attract grants from the Oregon Cultural Trust, Ford Family Foundation, and Samuel S. Johnson Foundation, as well as donations from community members.

The project got underway in early January with volunteers removing 10,000 books. Fresh paint brightened the interior, along with new carpeting, furniture, bookshelves, USB ports, computer stations, and eco-friendly lighting.

A large screen television was installed

to stream educational programming, and a meeting room was recon¿gured to accommodate 50 people.

“We envision the room being a really active place for programs,” Stepp says.

One program on the horizon is what Stepp calls a “technology lab” where patrons can bring in their electronic devices and receive instruction on their use.

Even with the unpredictable nature of remodeling, the project was on time and within the budget.

“So many wonderful people came out and made contributions to keep the project going,” Stepp says.

That included board member Lee Hiltenbrand, who served as general contractor for the project.

“Lee donated his time as general contractor, something that allowed us to do more in terms of investing in the facility,” Stepp says, calling Hiltenbrand “volunteer supreme.”

Beginning at 3 p.m. March 12, the grand opening celebration will be an opportunity for library friends and patrons to gather, share refreshments, listen to guest speakers, and admire the facility.

In a nod to Easley, who played the ¿ddle and often invited other ¿ddlers to her Manzanita home, eight ¿ddlers will perform at the celebration.

“She was a member of the Oregon OldTime Fiddlers, her other passion in addition to libraries,” Stepp says of Easley.

As the project draws to a close and the re-opening approaches, Stepp is proud of how so many people pulled together to realize a shared vision.

“We have taken a big step in making a very technology-friendly library,” she says.

“This is going to be a place where people can gather and learn together for now and for the future.”

‘We have taken a big step in making a very technologyfriendly library.’

Jody Swanson believes in the printed page Cloud & Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita is the last independent bookstore in Tillamook County

O

Over the past few years, there has been a lot of speculation about the state of the American bookstore. With the surging popularity of online retailers and e-books, how can small independent bookstores survive?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sobering thought, especially when combined with a 2010 article in TIME Magazine, which listed â&#x20AC;&#x153;Real Booksâ&#x20AC;? as one of the things that kids of future generations wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever experience.

But walking into Cloud & Leaf Bookstore at 148 Laneda Ave. in Manzanita lays those fears tidily to rest.

12 ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 12. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits.

A kinetic motion study by Mike Parnate at Luminari Arts.

ART BUSINESSES 1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Seattle artist Lisa Snow Lady brings a fresh collection of paintings for her first solo exhibition at Imogen. Like most of us who live in a coastal region, Snow Lady is interested and inspired by the views that come with proximity to water. Her work, largely inspired by living near water, focuses on exterior and interior structure and the views.

Working primarily in acrylic, she portrays dwellings with a sense of fluidity and elegance.

2. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. In “The Musicians,” Astoria artist Jill McVarish and Portland artist Stephanie Brockway collaborate on a mischievous medley of painting and sculpture. Both artists explore the theme through a vintage aesthetic paired with arch humor and a contemporary outlook. McVarish brings a series of lyrically beautiful paintings featuring human and animal musicians; Brockway upcycles musical instruments to form the heart of each of her sculptures, embellishing and transforming them through her playfully primitive carved wood elements.

In the Alcove, Portland’s Raquel Edwards offers abstracted floral paintings inspired by rhythm and movement in “Springtime Dance.” She works in encaustic, a mix of beeswax, pigment and tree resin, and her paintings dance with light, color and luminous depth.

Meet the artists and enjoy retro swing, jazz and blues music by Swingcats of Astoria.

3. Old Town Framing 1287 Commercial St. Old Town hosts a preview and silent auction for Clatsop Community College Foundation, with art donated by local artists and patrons of the arts and college.

“Woman in a Dream” by Eddie Morgan at KALA.

“Cello Practice” by Jill McVarish at RiverSea.

4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery will feature the work of Phyllis Taylor in the all-watercolor spring show “Daffodils: The Harbinger of Spring.” Taylor has created a collection of paintings depicting the beauty of a variety of daffodils and other spring flowers found in local gardens.

Refreshments will be served, and John Orr will perform instrumental guitar from 6 to 8 p.m.

Kari J. Young will present some of her acrylic/mixed-media pieces from her Beetle Girl/Goddess series.

Visitors to the studio will get to see her process through works in progress and finished pieces.

9. AVA Artist in Residence 80 11th St. Artist Blaine Verley will show recent works. “Especially those inspired by the power and influence of the Columbia River, which I can literally feel through its fluid proximity five or six fathoms below me,” he says. “It is my distinct honor to be able to give some voice to

the River I have lived alongside my entire life, and I hope I can impart some of its ancient wisdom to those who have an interest in preserving this immense and immeasurable treasure we are all privileged to have at our doorstep in Astoria and within our surrounding river communities.”

10. AVA Artist in Residence 453 11th St. Sarah Lippold will showcase her new body of work of monoprints. Lippold uses techniques she learned as a student of Royal Nebeker at Clatsop Community College and as a member of the North Coast Printers Collective.

11. Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. At Luminari Arts, photographer Mike Parnate will present his work “Collaborative Motion,” a series of kinetic motion studies inspired by and co-directed by his son, AJ.

AJ was born severely handicapped but likes to watch lights and motion; while his father takes pictures of the whirling lights and movement of the mobile above AJ’s bed, AJ controls the switch. The result is a collection of intensely colorful, high-energy kinetic studies on aluminum. “I take the photographs, and AJ adds the magic,” Parnate says. “It offers me my only glance into AJ’s secret world.“ Enjoy live music by Geezer Creek.

12. Forsythea 1124 Commercial St. Spring ahead with something fresh for your home or garden. The shop is budding with the latest pieces from artisans near and far. There are also new finds from a market trip that you won’t want to miss. Refreshments and cheer will be served.

YOGA

FOR YOU??

Relieving pain, reducing stress, increasing coordination — all this, and North Oregon Coast yoga studios are also a welcoming community to all Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL

W

hat comes to mind when you hear the word “yoga”?

An esoteric spiritual practice that involves twisting the body into uncomfortable positions? Yoga is much more down-to-earth than that. There is a spiritual aspect, and there are postures to be assumed, but in speaking with yoga instructors on Oregon’s North Coast I discovered that the reasons for doing yoga are practical and the results are often remarkable.

Instructors invariably have stories of permanent relief from chronic pain. Kristin Tschannen, founder of Seaside Yoga, was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis as a child, and her life became one of pain, deterioration of her joints and strong medication. A friend recommended yoga for both physical and emotional repair, and after a few weeks she was making real progress. Today Tschannen is all but pain-free.

“You can ignore pain,” she says, “but what you resist, persists. It’s not the same as getting to the crux of what’s happening with your body.”

At 342 10th St. in Astoria, there is a sort of Yoga Central. There are three instructors at Astoria Arts and Movement Center, on the second Àoor of the building, and 8te Swerdloff, who does the “Stand 8p and Stretch” episodes on KM8N 1. )M, has Yoga Namastp one Àoor above.

Jude MatulichHall, an AAMC instructor, found yoga helpful in dealing with the pain of her scoliosis, and teaches a “relax and re-

store” yoga class based on “integrative yoga,” that, “focuses on bringing yoga into anybody’s life, whether they are dealing with chronic pain, illness or injury.” Most yoga studios offer “gentle” and “restorative” classes that provide modi¿cations for students, so that yoga is accessible to everyone. These include chair yoga, with a set of postures suitable even for people with balance problems or those who lack the strength to stand, blocks and bolsters to support the body, and straps to provide resistance.

Yoga involves a series of postures, simple at ¿rst and more complicated as you progress, in tune with slower and more relaxed breathing. This stimulates the body’s “natural relaxation response,” MatulichHall says. “When it kicks in, it raises the body’s endorphins, which relieves pain and relaxes the nervous system, which reduces stress. When you drop stress, many things happen, including an improved immune system.”

Not only does yoga relieve pain and stress and improve the immune system, it can improve posture, balance, coordination and Àexibility. It’s no wonder that yoga classes are proliferating. Astoria’s RiversZen Yoga began four

years ago and has been expanding ever since.

Today, 16 instructors offer 36 classes, seven days a week, starting as early as 6 a.m. and as late as 8 p.m., in everything from gentle yoga to meditation to resistance stretching. There’s even a new weight room.

Dave and Peggy Stevens, owners of RiversZen, were both dealing with injuries when they took up yoga. The results were not only impressive, they were rapid.

“I was 53 and a broken man,” says Dave, and “I thought, ‘It can’t be this easy.’” By now, he says, “We’ve seen some real miracles that go beyond medicine and traditional physical therapy. It’s a humbling experience.”

“It’s very important to us that yoga is accessible to anyone, because it’s done so much for us,” Dave adds. RiversZen offers classes for cancer survivors and two free community classes. If you wish to sign up for regular classes, you get to take as many classes as you wish for one day, for free.

Theoretically, you could take seven hours of free classes on that day — but if you’re in that good shape you’re probably already teaching yoga.

Yoga studios grow caring and encouraging communities. “You develop friendships and ties,” says Jeane Robinson of /iving )it Yoga

‘THE GREATEST THING YOU CAN LEARN FROM YOGA IS KINDNESS, TO OURSELVES, OUR BODIES AND THE WORLD.’

Terrie Powers, center, teaches gentle yoga classes at Astoria Arts and Movement Center.

Most yoga studios offer “gentle” classes that provide modifications for students, such as blocks, bolsters or chairs. Here, Terrie Powers teaches a gentle yoga class at Astoria Arts and Movement Center.

in Seaside. “We support each other, and there’s an understanding that in yoga you meet people where they’re at. The greatest thing you can learn from yoga is kindness, to ourselves, our bodies and the world.”

Still, there are those who, despite their need, don’t consider yoga. Sally Anderson, a RiversZen instructor, says, “Most of the resistance to coming to class is fear-based. They fear that they will be judged by other students.” She suggests that students talk to her, and perhaps have a private session ¿rst.

Christen Alsop, of Cannon Beach Yoga Arts, gets around this resistance, especially in men, by calling chair yoga “Yoga for Golfers.”

Alsop taught in various venues for a decade before opening her studio in 2011. “We have an older population in Cannon Beach, and we get a lot of visitors, so our emphasis is on restorative yoga and classes for beginners,” she says.

Because of the location, Alsop’s studio is also a retreat center that offers weekend events featuring instructors from far and wide. This ¿nds its ultimate expression in the Cannon Beach Yoga )estival, founded by Alsop. Almost 200 people attend, and the classes show the diverse ways yoga can be integrated into life, including yoga for kids, Bollywood dance, yoga ¿gure drawing, and yoga for addiction and recovery.

)or those new to it, yoga can be confusing, even intimidating. There’s the terminology, like Hatha yoga (emphasizing holding postures for short periods) and Vinyasa yoga (emphasizing Àow of movement with the breath). There is a staggering variety of classes with descriptions that may seem odd to the uninitiated. It’s even possible to practice yoga at temperatures of 110 degrees — which “increases blood Àow, providing more blood and oxygen to be delivered to the musculoskeletal, lymphatic and endocrine systems” — at The Hot Spot Yoga and Massage in Warrenton.

Just don’t worry about it. Go to a studio.

Talk to an instructor. )orget your ¿tness or body image issues. Yoga is a supportive and accepting community. Teresa Brownlie, a student at RiversZen, had taken yoga online for years but wanted something more. She told me, “I was so scared when I went to my ¿rst class, but they were so nice!”

Yoga isn’t just for those suffering chronic pain or needing to be more Àexible. As Christen Alsop says, “I practice yoga to help me live my life in a manner more attentive, more gracious and more fun.”

Learn about Northwest salvage divers

Author Rebecca Harrison to speak at Cannon Beach Library CANNON BEACH — Rebecca Harrison, author of “Deep, Dark and Dangerous: On the Bottom with the Northwest Salvage Divers,” will be the next speaker at the Cannon Beach Library’s Northwest Author series at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 12.

Harrison’s book is focused on the hard-hat salvage divers from Oregon and Washington who work underwater in turbid darkness, attired in cumbersome diving gear. These men have barely enough room to move around while ¿ghting the cold temperatures and treacherous currents. It is a dirty, unromantic and highly dangerous way of earning a living, yet these divers would not trade their jobs for any other profession.

From locating sunken boxcars to repairing concrete foundations of bridges, no task is too risky. Any underwater salvage or repair work

becomes the job of these elite divers — they are carpenters, masons, riggers, hydraulic mechanics, ironworkers, welders, pile bucks and underwater engineers. They must be able to adapt all blueprints, tools and equipment to the harsh reali-

ties of the underwater environment.

Harrison was born and raised in Oregon and has recently moved to the Oregon Coast. She spends time traveling around the world writing and working. She has recently published a new book, “Portland’s Maritime History,” from the Images of America series. Harrison notes that Portland was not only the site of numerous marine terminals along the Willamette and Columbia rivers, but was home to a rich American maritime

history. Portland shipbuilding started in 1840 with the construction of the schooner Star of Oregon. More than l00 years later, three Portland shipyards would build 621 ships for the World War II effort.

In a soon-to-be-published work, Harrison will take readers back 150 years to ride the grand Columbia and Willamette rivers on sternwheelers of the mid 1800s. The book, “Aboard the Portland: The History of Northwest Steamships,” meticulously researched, tells the exciting story of these trade and transport ships and explores how Portland survived time and harsh work to become the last place operating steam sternwheelers in America.

The Cannon Beach Library hosts various Northwest authors in its second Saturday series. All library events are free, and the public is welcome. Cannon Beach Library is located at 131 N. Hemlock St. For more information, call 503-436-1391, or visit www. cannonbeachlibrary.org

Create your own ‘Bountiful Container’ Maggie Stuckey will teach about, do a hands-on demo of container gardening at Seaside Public Library March 12 SEASIDE — Spring is approaching, and with the help of author Maggie Stuckey, the Friends of the Seaside Library presents a program on container gardening at 1 p.m. Saturday, March 12.

The event will take place in the Community Room at the library, followed by book sales and signings.

With few exceptions — such as corn and pumpkins — everything edible that’s grown in a traditional garden can be raised in a container. And with only one exception — watering — container

gardening is a whole lot easier.

Stuckey will begin with the down-to-earth basics of soil, sun, water, seeds and propagation and give attendees a complete plantby-plant guide for growing beautiful veggies and Àowers.

Stuckey’s book “The Bountiful Container” covers 17 varieties of vegetables, 19 varieties of peppers, along with beans, Thumbelina carrots, Chioggia beets and sugar snap peas. She also delves into herbs, edible Àowers and perhaps most surprising, fruits. Did you know

you could grow apples, peaches, lemons, blueberries and ¿gs in containers? If not, Stuckey will show you how.

As an extra bonus, Stuckey will do a hands-on demonstration of planning and planting a container. At the end of the event there will be a drawing, and one lucky person in the audience will get to take the planted container home.

Stuckey is a writer who grows vegetables and cooks up a storm in her Portland home.

Joanne Froggatt, the TV drama’s vulnerable Anna Bates, is morphing into a 19th-century serial killer in PBS’ “Dark Angel.” Michelle Dockery, who plays coolly elegant Lady Mary, is a sleazy American ex-convict in TNT’s “Good Behavior.” And Kevin Doyle, the good-hearted Mr. Molesley, is a bad-hearted police detective in NetÀix’s “Happy Valley.”

The end of “Downton Abbey” on PBS’ “Masterpiece” after six seasons means new career paths for its stars, with both the upstairs and downstairs crew embracing change-of-pace roles — although devoted viewers may want to enshrine them forever as their beloved characters.

“Anybody who’s watched and loved ‘Downton’ is going to remember these characters for the rest of their lives,” said executive producer Gareth Neame. But cast members “can’t put a pin in their career and say that’s it.”

British actors are especially keen on variety and like “to move away from things they’ve been previously successful with,” Neame said.

Froggatt said change is part of acting’s allure. “After playing a role that you’ve loved playing for years, there is a certain part of you that goes, ‘I fancy doing something a bit different,” she said.

That’s the path taken by Dan Stevens, who’s avoided lord-of-the-manor roles since playing Matthew Crawley in the drama’s first three seasons. Among his upcoming projects: the films “Beauty and the Beast” and sci-fi drama “Colossal,” and “Legion,” a Marvel Com-

ics-based TV pilot for FX. After the March 6 “Downton Abbey” ¿nale, here’s where to ¿nd its former gentry and servants: • Hugh Bonneville (Lord Grantham): Possibly the actor staying closest to his “Downton” pedigree, he plays Lord Louis Mountbatten in the Indian independence movie “Viceroy’s House.”

• Laura Carmichael (Lady Edith): Takes on a sibling role again in the 1940s history-based romance, “A United Kingdom,” introducing her sister to her future husband, an African prince.

• Brendan Coyle (John Bates): Plays English politician Augustine Birrell in the historical Irish ¿lm drama “The Rising.” Also in the romantic movie “Me Before You,” based on the novel by Jojo Moyes.

• Elizabeth McGovern (Lady Cora): Writing and recording her fourth album with the band Sadie and the Hotheads. In April, starting rehearsals at the National Theatre in London for “Sunset at the Villa Thalia.”

• Lilly James (Lady Rose): Takes on a classic part, Elizabeth Bennet, in an adaptation of the non-classic parody of Jane Austen’s novel, “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.”

In “The Kaiser’s Last Kiss,” a German soldier falls in love with James’ Jewish Dutchwoman.

• Allen Leech (Tom Branson): In the ¿lm “Hunter’s Prayer,” based on Kevin Wignall’s novel “For the Dogs,” Leech plays the former boss of a hired assassin whose assignment goes awry.

• Penelope Wilton (Isobel Crawley): As lonely wife Pauline in the upcoming British TV series “Brief Encounters,” set in the 1980s, Wilton is one of four women whose lives are changed when they start selling exotic lingerie at house parties.

Discover how surfing got its start on the North Coast Husband-and-wife authors to share stories, sign books at Cleanline Surf Shop SEASIDE — Cleanline Surf Shop will host a book signing eYent ³2regon Sur¿ng North Coast.” Authors Scott and Sandy Blackman will be available from 1 to 3 p.m.

Sunday, March 13 to autograph their books and share sur¿ng stories and memorabilia with sur¿ng enthusiasts.

Cleanline Surf Shop is located at 60 N Roosevelt Drive.

The book, published by Arcadia Publishing, coves the history of the local North Coast surfing culture, which began in Portland, Seaside, Cannon Beach and Pacific City in the 1960s.

Seaside teens discovered surfing in the summer of 1962 when they met San Diego, California, surfer Dana Williams. Stationed with the Navy at Tongue Point near Astoria, Williams recalls, “In 1961, I was surfing Fort Stevens, South Jetty, both sides and sandbars. In 1963 we were part of Hoppy Swartz’s USSA (United States Surfing Association) and the third club to form.”

1963 Seaside High School classmates and charter Seaside Surfing Association members Mark Hansen, Jerry Alto and Tibby Utter credit Williams with starting surfing around Seaside.

More locals joined the SSA

throughout the decade until the club disbanded in the late 1960s.

Utter remembers, “We spent time at Dana’s Seaside house talking about surfing, girls, looking at Surf Magazines and drinking wine.”

Alto remembers, “Dana was the key: He had a surfboard and was from San Diego.”

Seaside High School student and SSA member Dallas Cook recalls, “I was living in Gearhart when I borrowed a Hawaiian Olo board from

the Gearhart Hotel. I used it for a summer until Wally Pashal took it out and broke it. I was 16 in 1963 when George Daggatt, Needham Ward and myself (ordered) longboards that were delivered by train. They were too big for the truck freight.”

Collection of short comedy plays opens in Tillamook

Catch live music at Souâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Wester

TAPA presents â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nothing Seriousâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

SEAVIEW, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Souâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Wester Lodge offers two nights of live music this weekend.

First, Portland singer-songwriter Shelley Short will perform at 8 p.m. Friday, March 11.

Short grew up among characters and artists in a wood-heated home full of books, records, and wellcooked meals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like growing up in a time machine; in some ways we lived like in 1876: chopping wood, growing our own food, wearing old clothes in a Victorian home and singing our own songs,â&#x20AC;? Short says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Other times it seemed like we were living in 1955, driving around Cadillacs and Studebakers and listening to Jonny Ray and The Flamingos.

And yet it all felt like growing up in a blurring movie made in 1963, full of these big personalities. As a kid I grew up so accustomed to falling asleep to the sound of talk and laughter that when I moved out, the silence got to me.â&#x20AC;?

TILLAMOOK â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts presents the ensemble comedy â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing Seriousâ&#x20AC;? this weekend.

The play opens Friday, March 11 with an Opening Night Gala Celebration. Every ticket purchased will include complimentary hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres and a beverage of choice.

The show runs through March 27. Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7 p.m., and Sunday matinees will begin at 2 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. The Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy St. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nothing Serious,â&#x20AC;? written

by Richard Orloff and directed by Rikki Reid, is a series of Orloffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 10 most popular short comedies. From Antarctica and Disneyland to the Garden of Eden and inside the womb, his theatrical worlds are both imaginative and hilarious.

The Honolulu Advertiser called it â&#x20AC;&#x153;genuine fun that canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t help being contagious,â&#x20AC;? while the Rochester Post-Bulletin from Minnesota said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of laughs.

Orloffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skits are quick, clever, funny and touching.â&#x20AC;?

The Pitchwood Inn is in Raymond, Washington.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Pitchwood Inn The entrance to the Pitchwood Inn in Raymond, Washington, seemed rather drab, uninviting. More utility shed than saloon. It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exactly scream: great dive bar stocked with â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cannery Rowâ&#x20AC;? characters!

Nevertheless, I had time to kill before a gig at the library, so I walked inside. I learned long ago not to judge a dive bar by its cover.

Thirty minutes later, I left the Pitchwood with a serious case of literary vertigo; I could not believe what I had just seen because in my long years of chronicling the cultural life of Pacific Northwest coastal taverns and bars, these images were firsts, and many quite inexplicable to me: â&#x20AC;˘ A 16-point buck on the wall; â&#x20AC;˘ A blue neon sign advertising oysters; â&#x20AC;˘ Ice in the gleaming metal urinal in the menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bathroom; â&#x20AC;˘ The ability to check into one of the Pitchwoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s motel rooms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; right at the bar â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while sipping a double Malibu Rum; â&#x20AC;˘ Onion rings so thick they resembled the bracelets worn by Pharaoh Ramses (Yul Brynner) in â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Ten Commandmentsâ&#x20AC;?; â&#x20AC;˘ People actually eating a whole plate of these onion rings; â&#x20AC;˘ At least 30 former Korean and Vietnam-era Marines and their wives drinking beers, bloody marys, gin and tonics and even one Jack Daniels and lemonade; â&#x20AC;˘ A poster advertising a performance â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the Pitchwood â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by the semi-legendary punk-country-rock band The Supersuckers.

I nearly threw out my neck doing a double take when I saw the poster. Over 20 years ago, I saw The Supersuckers open a show for Social Distortion in Seattle. I nearly went deaf from the experience. How in the world this band could be headlining a show in Raymond, Washington, in winter was beyond my comprehension. These dudes must be in their 60s by now!

Who says rock is dead? No one in the Pitchwood.

The middle of March offers much more than just the Ides. While St. Patrickâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day is a recognized national religious holiday in Ireland, commemorating the death of the islandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous patron saint in whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s roughly clocked at 461 AD, the celebration in the U.S. tends to center on the culture and contribution of the large Irish diaspora swept to our shores and deeply immersed in our melting pot.

With this in mind and a Pogues song trapped firmly between my ears, I decided to check out The Irish Pub at McKeownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, an over-21, down-the-road satellite of the established restaurant on the corner of Holladay Drive and Broadway in downtown Seaside. Like all the best pubs, The Irish is essentially a neighborhood joint kept awake by the personalities of its bartenders and patrons.

Since leprechaun hats and green beer are the rue of street cleaners everywhere, I

would implore you to hang up that emerald Mardi Gras necklace and try this non-traditional concoction instead.

Not your usual green tea, this cocktail is essentially a slightly carbonated, Irish whiskey-based margarita. Amazingly, the prominent flavor of the Jameson hides behind the melon liqueur, a la Long Island-style. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a nice reminder, too, that no matter what day we are celebrating, no culture is stagnant, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in this together. SlĂĄinte!
