Cai Terenmare are not animals and have never been human. But they will have you for dinner, if you are not careful and clever.” Published by Seattle-area-based Castle Garden Publications, “The Rabbit and the Raven” has already received strong praise from reviewers: “Once again, a job well done, well written and magnetic by this talented author who deftly travels that ¿ne, yet twisted line of magical YA fantasy!” said Tome Tender.

Haunted by dreams that come true, Abby’s world is turned upside-down when she meets David, the doppelgänger of the mysterious young man in her dreams. Discovering that he is the lost heir to the throne of Cai Terenmare, Abby and David must battle blood-thirsty monsters in a race to claim his birthright. The story continues in “The Rabbit and the Raven”

as David and Abby journey to the outer regions of their magical new world, seeking the loyalty of four oracles in an effort to win the war against the evil lord intent on stealing the young king’s throne. Along the way, they will learn just how beguiling darkness can be and that power always comes with a price. “While the story is set in a magical parallel realm, Oregonians may notice that the forests of Cai Terenmare are inspired by the forests along the Oregon Coast,” said Eskue Ousley, a former educator. “They are full of wildlife, but the creatures that lie in wait in

THE LOWER COLUMBIA

Left: Tallie Spiller, pictured, works to pack old furniture and garbage into her truck in August 2012. Spiller volunteered four hours of her time and the use of her truck in a Lower Columbia TimeBank exchange with Carol Newman. The two women loaded broken items that had been sitting in a basement for years into the vehicle. Tucked under, around and in between defunct couches and large chairs were moldy rugs, pillows, suitcases, broken lamps, cracked tiles and more. Newman had set aside anything useful or recyclable before Spiller arrived on the scene for the timebank exchange. The two women transported the load from Brownsmead to Recology Western Oregon.

She then gives her a notecard with the recipe and more information. Though they have known each other for several years, the two women have gotten together this afternoon thanks to the Lower Columbia TimeBank, a network of more than 150 members in the Columbia-Pacific region who exchange free services.

set up the exchanges through a website that acts as a sort of bulletin board. In this instance, Beveridge posted an offer to teach other members how to make rejuvelac. Rasmussen saw her post and contacted her to set up an instruction session. In the timebank model, members build up “time creditsâ€? in their accounts by providing services to other members, and they can then use those credits to take advantage of services that are offered by others. So if the rejuvelac session takes an hour, for example, an hour of time will be credited to Beveridge’s timebank account for providing the service, and an hour will be debited from Rasmussen’s account for receiving the service. Rasmussen says that learning how to make rejuvelac is just one of many activities she has taken advantage of since the Lower Columbia TimeBank was founded two years ago. “I’ve gotten my oil changed in my car a few times,â€? she says. “I got piano lessons once a week for a long time, and I got a haircut one time, and I got a calligraphy lesson.

Beveridge, too, has been active in the timebank, receiving everything from a massage to lessons in ethical sales and French cooking. In addition to teaching others how to make probiotic drinks like rejuvelac, she has offered advice on how to set up a worm bin, how to re-pot houseplants and a variety of other topics. Every service is treated equally – an hour of babysitting is equal to an hour of tutoring or yard work or roof repair – and the timebank website allows members to post both services they are willing to provide and services they wish to receive. It is then up to the members themselves to set up exchanges.

TLA advisor to the Lower Columbia TimeBank’s steering committee, explains that this timebank grew out of a conversation among acquaintances two years ago. “A group of us got together talking are timebanks in 42 states, and that the number of about economic alternatives,â€? she says, and the timebanks in the U.S. has almost doubled in three timebank was the result. years.

Timebanks are based on the principle that everyone has something of value to offer; everyone’s time, skills and talents are valued equally. When a timebank member spends an hour providing a service to someone else, she receives an hour’s worth of credit in her account. When she receives a service from another member, hours are debited from her account.

es are cost-free and do not have tax implications. However, she cautions participants against offering activities for which they are currently paid professionals. For instance, she says, a freelance writer probably should not offer writing services through the timebank, as that could potentially cause tax complications for that member.

Everyone has something to offer

A central principle of timebanking is the idea that everyone has something valuable to offer. “People’s biggest problem with joining is they don’t think they have anything to offer,â€? Black says. She stresses that is not the case. People may be able to contribute things they hadn’t considered, such as car rides or help with household chores. Black and other timebank leaders encourage people to become members and see what services others are requesting. They point out that it is okay for new members to receive services before they start offering them, in order to get a feel for timebanking. New members also go through a brief orientation to help them get started. As the Lower Columbia TimeBank begins its third year, members like Sheila Beveridge and Jennifer Rasmussen hope the organization will continue to grow and become more integral to the community. “I want it to be seen as a real, needed resource,â€? Rasmussen says. “It has the potential to really serve a lot of real needs that the community has.â€? Beveridge adds that the timebank can help community members access needed services. “For people who can’t DIIRUG WR JHW WKHLU FDU Âż [HG SHRSOH ZKR can’t afford an oil change, people who can’t afford a haircut, that kind of thing is available to them (through the timebank),â€? she says.

The Relief Pitcher

Though a little rough around the edges, this bar is one of Seaside’s best-kept secrets

I have driven south on U.S. Highway 101 toward Portland more times in my life than I care to count. I’ve done it so much that the businesses and landmarks that dot the path blend into the background; I don’t know that I could name any one business in particular, but whenever I turn off to get on Highway 26, I sort of take comfort in knowing that they’re there. They are part of our coastal landscape. The Relief Pitcher in Seaside is part of that landscape, and although I’ve driven by it probably hundreds of times, until recently, I had never been there. Now, I don’t mean to sound rude, uppity, prissy or judgmental, but there is a reason I’ve never been there – it looks a little rough around the edges. The paint is peeling, the lawn is overgrown and the parking lot is full of pot holes. But on the other hand, the parking lot is also full of cars, and for good reason. 2n a tip from a helpful reader, I put ¿rst impressions aside and ventured into the Relief Pitcher, and stumbled into one of Seaside’s best-kept secrets. Make no mistake: The Relief Pitcher is not the nicest place I’ve ever been in, and some would call it a dive. But still, there is a 1970s-ish sort of charm about the place, with worn brown leather chairs, fading sports pictures on the wall, and a pool table (which can be played on for free). Our friendly server approached us right away, and I let him guide our choices off the small but mighty menu. We began with oyster shooters, a set of three, fresh oysters with cocktail sauce for the minuscule price tag of $3.85. Had I not been there to sample more of the menu, I would have ordered more. I love fresh

oysters; they taste the way salty, sea air smells. I can see how they’re an acquired taste, but the ones offered here aren’t to be missed. Up to the plate ne[t were ¿ve panko-crusted, deep-fried prawns, another steal at $4.95. Hot, tasty and with a satisfying crunch, the Relief Pitcher was batting a thousand so far. My dining companion ordered an Ahi tuna steak sandwich, and it is quite simply one of the tastiest sandwiches I have ordered at a restaurant in who knows how long. A huge, Àavorful, juicy tuna steak was grilled and served between hearty, toasted slices of sourdough with lettuce. The full sandwich (there is also a half-order available on the menu) is more than a meal, especially served with hand-cut French fries. You know it’s a good sign when you walk in and see someone walk-

ing toward the kitchen with a handful of Russet potatoes. The French fries are incredibly tasty and savory, and they accompanied the sandwich perfectly. A cheeseburger proved just as tasty with a one-third-pound patty, lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. I don’t know that it was the most Àavorful or artfully prepared burger patty I’ve ever tasted, but there was something about the whole of the burger that was greater than the sum of its parts. I’m reminded of the Jimmy Buffett song, “Cheeseburger In Paradise”: “I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and Frenchfried potatoes, big, Kosher pickle and a cold,

Different than your run-of-the-mill coleslaw that accompanies bar food, the version at the Relief Pitcher features dried cranberries and apple slices. That doesn’t necessarily make it gourmet, but it does show that the staff puts some thought and care into even the simplest of side dishes, which I appreciate. I wondered as I was eating, given the number of people who obviously frequent the Relief Pitcher, and how tasty the food is, why an effort to spruce the place up a bit hasn’t been made. What I decided, though, is that sometimes dining out isn’t “about” that, and to the owners, staff and regulars, it certainly doesn’t seem to matter. In fact, if the Relief Pitcher looked any other way, I’m not sure it would have the same charm. At the end of the day, it’s the food that counts. And when it’s very tasty served by such friendly staff, does the atmosphere really matter all that much?

The Family Read & Sing Aloud

Poet leads writing workshop at TEAA

Early-learning program runs to April 12

GEARHART — Sandra Claire Foushee, winner of the William Stafford Poetry Award, will offer a writing workshop, Painting with Words: The Art of Visual Ideas. This creative workshop for illumination and interaction with other writers is designed to help you articulate your conscious experience – mental, emotional, physical and spiritual – to visualize and paint with verbal images. Writing can take the form of poems, music lyrics, short stories, stories for children or lyrical essays. Foushee has been published in many literary jour-

PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — Who doesn’t remember the “ABC Song�? Besides being one of the most memorable songs of childhood, the Alphabet Song is the most basic example of singing as a pathway to reading. This year, Timberland Regional Library’s 13th annual early learning initiative, the Family Read-Aloud, becomes the Family Read & Sing Aloud, adding music as a major piece of the program. Running from March 1 through April 12, the Family Read & Sing Aloud centers on families reading aloud – and singing together – in as many different areas of their homes as they can. The program focuses on children from infancy to third grade, but all of a family’s children are encouraged to join in the fun. “It’s no coincidence that we open the Read & Sing Aloud celebration with the birthday of Dr. Seuss and close on the birthday of Beverly Cleary. Characters from books written by these beloved authors have become part of cherished

nals, including Ploughshares, Prairie Schooner and The Seattle Review. She has taught at Clatsop Community College, Tillamook Bay Community College, in the Oregon Poets-in-the-Schools Program and is the editor of Poetry and Prose Annual. The workshop will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Monday, March 24, 31 and April 7 and 14 at the Trail’s End Art Association, 656 A St., Gearhart. The cost is $80 for four days of workshop; $20 per session.

David Drury to play at PAC concert

In Their Footsteps hosts bestselling author Jane Kirkpatrick

ASTORIA — Partners for the PAC is proud to present this year’s Spring Student Guitar Recital and Concert, at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 15 at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, located at 16th Street and Franklin Avenue in Astoria. The concert showcases the talents of students studying guitar with noted musician David Drury. The evening will also include music by outstanding local musicians who are donating their time and talent to illustrate the importance of the PAC as a cultural venue. There will be solo and ensemble music featuring Drury, Janet Bowler, Todd Pederson, Ken Kirby and others. Drury began playing professionally in the early 1960s. Upon graduation from Phoenix College, he attended Arizona State University as music major. He has performed in much of the U.S., including engage-

ments at major night clubs, concert halls and resorts in Los Angeles, Phoenix, Denver and Portland. His credentials also include recordings with a number of bands and artists. Other notable performances include concerts with the Phoenix Symphony, one under the direction of David Rose, another with Percy Faith. In 1969, he and the group he worked with contracted with R.C.A. Records and moved to L.A. where they recorded a nationally released album, “Myrth,” which contained 10 original songs. The single “Gotta Find A Way” was listed in Billboard Magazine’s poll. Following an additional period of performing and writing, Drury recorded another album of original material in 1975 at Lee Furr’s Studio in Tucson, Ariz. Currently he divides his time between performing, writing and recording music, and is in

ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park’s Fort Clatsop announces the next installment of its In Their Footsteps free speakers series. The program is “Filling Her Shoes: Amazing Women of the Northwest and Beyond” by Jane Kirkpatrick at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 16 in the Netul River Room of the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center. Kirkpatrick, a New York Times bestselling author, will speak about the power of one person to make a difference in the lives of others as evidenced by lesser-known historical women.

Volcanologist Bill Chadwick to lead talk the Earth’s mantle rises up and erupts on the seaÀoor to create new ocean crust. The Axial Seamount is a fantastic location for studying interdisciplinary marine research. Several years ago, scientists discovered a new eruption of Axial Seamount. The lava Àow from the 2011 eruption was at least 1.2 miles wide. “Volcanoes are notoriously dif¿cult to forecast, and much less is known about undersea volcanoes than those on land, so the ability to monitor Axial Seamount, and determine that it was on a path toward an impending eruption is pretty exciting,” said Chadwick. “When eruptions like this occur, a huge amount of heat comes out of the sea Àoor, the chemistry of sea Àoor hot springs is changed, and pre-existing vent biological commu-

nities are destroyed and new ones form,” Chadwick added. “Some species are only found right after eruptions, so it is a unique opportunity to study them.” During the past few years several eruptions have been recording at the Axial Seamount. Chadwick will talk about these ¿ndings and what they mean for coastal inhabitants. Chadwick is a volcanologist and research professor in the Cooperative Institute for Marine Resources Studies at Oregon State University’s Hat¿eld Marine Science Center in Newport. He is also a collaborator with the NOAA Vents Program. He received his Ph.D. in geology from the University of California at Santa Barbara. His research focuses on how submarine volcanoes work, how volcanic events impact hydrothermal systems,

Kirkpatrick’s books that feature these women will be available for purchase and signing following her presentation. This third Sunday forum is sponsored by the Lewis and Clark National Park Association and the National Park Service. This program is free of charge.

Dive down to the Axial Seamount and learn about the life of one of the most active underwater volcanoes in the north Paci¿c Ocean. For those of who are unaware, the Axial Seamount is located about 250 miles off the shore of Cannon Beach on the Juan de Fuca Ridge. The Juan de Fuca Ridge is a spreading center where two tectonic plates are separating; the Pacific Plate is moving to the west and the Juan de Fuca plate is moving to the east. As the plates separate, magma that is generated in

In 2008, Rawlins self-released “The Amazing Circle of Boxes,â€? his 19-track debut album recorded between 2002-07 during the interims of band activity, in a series of bedrooms, basements, garages and warehouses. At times simple and meditative, at times erratic, spacey, distorted and fused with myriad electronic and natural sounds, Rawlins auspiciously established himself as a unique entity among American musicians. The envelope of experimentation was pushed even further with his 2010 release “Fuggit, I’ll Bet a Hunnerd,â€? a dust-covered, booze-draped daydream, centered around the concept of one’s struggle to embrace the magical and maddening affects of life in the Grande Ronde Valley – an area Rawlins has inhabited off-and-on for the past decade.
