O
ne of the (many) things I love about living on the North Coast is the mix of different music genres available. You can catch jazz or rock ‘n’ roll while enjoying dinner at any number of restaurants in the area; classical concerts are provided by several symphonic bands, choruses and orchestras; world music bands often visit (there seems to be quite a few Celtic singers who come to town); and indie folk bands make their way over from Portland fairly often. (If this list has inspired you at all, check out Coast Weekend’s music listings for this weekend on Page 5). I had the chance not long ago to see Astoria-based indie rock/pop band the Holiday Friends perform at KALA. The dark room was packed, the dance floor was hopping, and the music was fun with great harmonies and catchy beats. I had seen Holiday Friends last August at the Astoria parks department’s “Let the Music Play,” a two-day concert series at the Astoria Column, so it was nice to catch them again up close.
It’s always great to see a local band and a local venue team up for an awesome night.
Y
ou don’t need much more of an invitation to head outside than the wonderful weather we’ve been having the last two weekends. I spent a recent lazy Sunday doing just that. After a laidback, scrumptious brunch at Columbian Cafe (which wouldn’t be complete without its homemade pepper jellies), I hit the road and aimed for the beach. The already chilly day was am-
plified by the brisk ocean wind past the dunes – but the sky was bright blue, which was enough for me. I wandered up and down the tideline, watching sandpipers probe the wet sand for lunch and race quickly away if I got too close. A number of shells had washed up with the tide, and there seemed to be an unusual amount of extra sea foam. I wasn’t the only one who had the idea of enjoying the beach that day. A number of cars zoomed past me on the sand. One family took advantage of the wind and flew a kite; their
curious dog ran over to greet me, her friendly face and warm, fluffy fur was a treat to pet. After a few hours and good long walk, I headed back to my car. A lone seagull with a white belly and dark grey wings followed my trek, showing off his flying skills to me, the visitor.

Haystack Rock Awareness Program Hands-on education at the beach for all ages
H
Haystack Rock inspires greatness. The proud monolith is an instantly identifiable symbol that draws thousands of curious visitors to Cannon Beach each year. It is also a point of pride for those who call the city and its environs home. Thanks to a program run by dedicated staff and volunteers, it has also come to represent one of the best ideals of North Coast life: resource conservation and stewardship through education. The Haystack Rock Awareness Program – or HRAP – is a stewardship and environmental educational program with a mission to protect and promote the intertidal and bird ecology of the Marine Garden and Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge at Haystack Rock. Haystack Rock itself was designated a wildlife refuge in 1968. Now a city-run program, HRAP began modestly in 1985, inspired by local high school science teacher Neal Maine and his wife, Karen. During a day of photographing tidepools, the Maines attracted a crowd of curious onlookers eager to learn. Soon, the Maines, along with local volunteers, realized that this important educational resource could thrive. “It became a gathering of like-minded community members seeking to raise ecological awareness,” said HRAP Coordinator Nala Cardillo. In the following years, HRAP has educated and inspired tens of thousands of adults and children. They come to learn about conserving natural resources not only at Haystack Rock, but also in their own neighborhoods and backyards. Cardillo has headed HRAP for four years and continually witnesses the program’s evolution. “Originally, HRAP was run as a test program over a Fourth of July weekend,” she said. “It was set up to be a highlight of the busy summer season.” When interest in the program began to spike, staff and volunteers with the city of Cannon Beach decided to implement a more permanent beach presence. “Now, HRAP kicks off in early spring and runs into September,” Cardillo said. “In 2012 we offered 154 days – morning and evening low tides 4 | March 14, 2013 | coastweekend.com
– of programs and presentations.” HRAP extends to participants a wide range of educational opportunities. The focus is always stewardship and protecting the ecosystem from careless actions. HRAP’s extensive interpretive program at Haystack Rock is geared toward leaving an imprint on visitors and helping them be better caretakers of the shared environment. “Our welltrained interpreters answer questions on many topics,” Cardillo said. “They range from the simple, like ‘What is that?’ to the complex, like ‘What are the ecological consequences of collecting animals or plants from this area?’ We want to ensure that people leave with a better understanding of how

From Tufted Puffins, to Sunflower Sea Stars, to various crabs and barnacles, the rock’s sand and tidepools teem with life. they can be better stewards.” A common question is how to deal with injured animals on the beach. HRAP wants people to realize the adverse effects of interfering with the natural cycle, however noble their intentions are. Birds and animals are known to change their normal behavior if touched by humans. For example, mother seals who “beach” their babies are known to abandon the infant if human scent is noted. “In situations like these, people often mean well. It’s in our nature to want to help,” Cardillo said. “HRAP is designed to help people better understand that

each action we take in the natural world comes with consequence.” The diverse habitat of Haystack Rock makes it the logical staging ground for HRAP to share the area’s bounty. From Tufted Puffins, to Sunflower Sea Stars, to various crabs and barnacles, the rock’s sand and tidepools teem with life. “People are amazed at the diversity of life around Haystack Rock,” Cardillo said. “Whether it’s seeing an anemone for the first time, or watching swooping pelicans, everyone comes away with a better idea of the place they’ve come to. We impress that it’s not just a rock, but a home.” When it comes to education, groups of all sizes and ages flock to 235-foot Haystack Rock each year. “In 2012, HRAP hosted 62,000 people,” Cardillo said. “That included 50 school groups and adult organizations from around the Pacific Northwest.” HRAP offers programs that ensure each group will leave with a stronger understanding of how they fit in with the natural world. “We usually offer four distinct round-robin stations,” Cardillo said. “They are birds and telescopes, intertidal exploration, and zone adaptation. We also have permits from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife for temporary tank displays.” Cardillo knows that HRAP is just one small piece of the puzzle when it comes to environmental stewardship. “People are just as key as marine life,” she said. “We want people to ask themselves ‘What can I do to make the world better?’ That’s why our volunteers are so important because they love what they do.” With the help of HRAP’s knowledgeable staff and volunteers, it is possible for everyone to identify each intricate piece and become a responsible part of that puzzle.

Oregon Coast Crawler Tickets on sale for historic train fall trip GARIBALDI — The Oregon Coast Crawler takes passengers on a memorable 7.5 hour journey of exploration and beautiful Oregon scenery, all by vintage train powered by a historic steam locomotive. Originating in the small fishing village of Garibaldi, the train makes a leisurely rail trip along the dramatic northern Oregon coastline, affording panoramic views of Tillamook and Nehalem bays. Heading north, it passes through Rockaway Beach and stops at Wheeler for an early waterside lunch. You might want to take a few free minutes to explore this interesting harbor town before reboarding the Oregon Coast Crawler. Continuing to Batterson, the train will travel along the scenic Nehalem River at the peak time to experience Oregon’s fall foliage. The last steam train to visit Batterson was years ago, and is a rare treat. On the return trip to Garibaldi, there will be a stopover for a brief service break and free time in Rockaway to allow passengers to stretch their legs and possibly pick up some taffy or an ice cream cone, both locally made in Tillamook County. The train is scheduled to be
River City Playhouse Peninsula Players offer classic tale of imaginary friend ILWACO, Wash. — Elwood P. Dowd and his imaginary friend, Harvey, will be tromping the boards at the River City Playhouse for a middle March opening. The Peninsula Players are presenting Mary Chase’s classic, “Harvey,” for a two weekend run March 15, 16, 17, 22, 23 and 24. Curtain time for Friday and Saturday is 7 p.m., while the Sunday matinees have a 2 p.m. curtain. Dowd and his six-foot rabbit lead the au-
dience through a number of unexpected turns that cause their family and friends a great deal of despair. Chase’s characterization of the main characters moves the audience from one unbelievable situation to another. According to director Tracy Roach, no self-respecting theater patron would admit to not seeing “Harvey” at least twice on stage. The River City Playhouse is located at 127 S.E. Lake St., next to the museum and
pulled by the McCloud River Railroad No. 25, which is an Alco 2-6-2 steam locomotive featured in the movie “Stand By Me.” There will also be an open air car for unparalleled views and enhanced enjoyment, in addition to the two indoor coaches and a baggage car. All passengers will have a guaranteed indoor seat and the outdoor space will be shared throughout the day. A minimum of three photo run-bys have been scheduled and more will be added as time permits. A sandwich bar featuring fresh local ingredients and beverages will be provided in Wheeler by the Tsunami Grill. Whether a rail fan, a photographer or simply someone who enjoys a relaxing day on the Oregon Coast, the Crawler is sure to please. As this trip is limited to fewer than 120 passengers, the company recommends making reservations early. The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad is located at 402 S. American Way. Call 503-2925055 if you have any questions or to book by phone, or book online at www.railsnw.com/tours/charter/ garibaldi_steam/garibaldi_steam .htm. The trip is Oct. 5 and costs $98 per person.

Experience Dance Body Vox-2 to perform contemporary dance at Liberty Theater Saturday
I
large scale performance to fit smaller venues. One of the young dancers who will be on stage is from this area. Astoria-born Josh Murry began dancing at local studios on the Oregon coast when he was 12. He trained with Maddox Dance Studio (under Jeanne Petersen), Encore Dance Studio (with Denele Sweet), and Astoria School of Ballet (with Maggie Wall). As a teenager he spent his summers attending intensive format dance classes at Milwaukee Ballet in Wisconsin and studied for a time with the Joffrey Ballet in New York on full scholarship. Murry went to Utah when he was scouted for Brigham Young University’s Theatre Ballet Company. It wasn’t easy balancing life as a full-time student and a dancer doing full-length ballets, composition pieces and senior projects. Besides, can a young man who hails from a place of fog and wet flourish in the Utah desert? Apparently not because the talented young man decided school could wait and moved back to the North Coast. Since joining BV-2 in 2009, Murry has performed in three world premieres, “Smoke Soup,” “BloodyVox” and “The Cutting Room.” He’s also graced performances of such Body Vox classics as “Reverie,” “Thousand Little Cities” and “Horizontal Leanings” and helped produce and choreograph BV-2’s first self-produced concert, “Works.” Today at 24, Murry is an established freelance dancer and frequent guest artist in the greater Portland area. Performing with The Portland Ballet, Portland Festival Ballet, Columbia Dance Company, Westside Dance Academy, Lakewood Theatre Company, Éowyn Emerald Barrett, Pacific Dance Makers and Portland Dance Collaboration, he continues to develop. Judging from some of his reBody Vox-2 is made of, from left, Katie Staszkow, Anna Marra, Jeff George, Zachar Carroll, views, Murry has imJosh Murry and Holly Shaw. – SUBMITTED PHOTO BY TATIANA WILLS If you’re a dance fan or even if you’re not, know that Body Vox-2 (BV-2) will bring a razzle-dazzle of tap, gymnastics and ballet to the Liberty Theater at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 16. Should you go, prepare to be entertained. There’ll be no stuffy all-classical ballet program for this group. “BV-2 is a rare dance experience. Audiences will leave smiling and laughing at the light-hearted, humorous entertainment the performance offers,” promises Una Loughran, general manager at Body Vox. Four world premieres will be featured in the show, choreographed by Jamey Hampton, Anne Mueller, Eric Skinner and Éowyn Emerald Barrett. Also included in the program will be Hampton’s “The Obliged,” a touching “last dance” set to the music of popular songwriters Amon Tobin, John Adams and Tom Waits. An offshoot of internationally-known Body Vox, a contemporary dance company located in Portland’s Pearl District, BV-2 began in 2007 with artistic directors Ashley Roland and Jamey Hampton, who are currently at the helm. At the Liberty show, five members of this small cadre of up-andcoming young dancers will perform contemporary dance – much of it combined with dance-theater and other performance art forms, such as live music and multimedia. This mix helps shrink a
pressed more than one Portland critic. The Oregonian’s Bob Hicks wrote of the “languorous and sultry mating duet (which) may be the date dance of the season,” performed by Murry and partner Eowyn Emerald at the Body Vox Dance Center. Portland Monthly writer Anne Adams in her review of The Portland Ballet’s “Nutcracker” wrote, “The sweet-scene stealers are Josie Buck and Josh Murry whose Arabian/coffee pas de deux was hypnotically flexible and sensual. Murry and partner, dancing characters in “A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” inspired Faddah Wold to write, “Particularly wonderful is both the dance and comic turn of Josh Murry as Bottom, the Enchanted Rustic turned into a donkey and presented as enchanted love to Titania by Oberon and Puck’s scheme. The pas de deux with Murry’s Donkey-Bottom and Cheshire’s Titania is both comic and strangely loving between the two of them and quite lovely to watch.” Since dancers, even of Murry’s caliber, typically don’t make much money, he also works as a teacher and competition director at Clackamas Dance, teaching tap, jazz, ballet, hip-hop and acrobatics (or “acro”) along with choreographed team routines and specialty numbers. Through BV and BV-2, he’s also involved in community outreach to both give back to the community and promote different ways of learning. Through dance, elementary school kids in Hillsboro, for example, have learned about plants, the solar system and even physics! Still, it’s performing that affords that special thrill for Murry. Asked about the upcoming show, he replies, “(It) will be a very fun mix of comedy and athletic dancing … more tumbling almost. It will also be very graceful. They (the choreographers) did a good job of trying to do something new.” Murry, himself, will be dancing three different duets. He promises some fun props and special lighting effects will be on hand, too. Loughran, too, is convinced that anyone who catches BV-2’s performance on March 16 won’t be disappointed. “I feel confident that the audience will have an uplifting, wonderful time at the show. Body Vox-2 is a sophisticated and whimsical multi-layer performance that engages all ages.”

Listening to the Land It isn’t tough to show your river some love SEASIDE — The North Coast landscape is defined by rivers, from the mighty Columbia to the rivers that feed Youngs Bay, from the Necanicum that winds through Seaside to the dynamic Nehalem that flows from Vernonia to the ocean. At this month’s Listening to the Land program, at 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 20, at the Seaside Public Library, Teresa Huntsinger of the Oregon Environmental Council challenges you to show your favorite river some love. Using creative programs such as its “Love Your River” campaign, the OEC safeguards some of what Oregonians love best about Oregon – clean air and water, an unpolluted landscape and healthy food produced
by local farmers. Through monthly challenges, they encourage Oregonians to save water, use fewer pesticides, keep storm drains clear and take on other river-benefiting actions, providing tips and resources to help make doing the right thing for your river easy and fun. What North Coast river do you love? Come find out how you can put that love into action and keep area rivers, creeks and streams clean and healthy.

The Barn Community Playhouse Tillamook theater offers encore performance of ‘Lost Pioneer’ TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) announces a special performance of “Lost Pioneer” at 3 p.m. Sunday, March 17, at the Barn Community Playhouse. “Lost Pioneer” is performed
by acclaimed actress of stage and screen, Megan “Liz” Cole, who also helped write the story. All in all, it was a collaborative effort between Cole, local historian Mark Beach and award-winning Portland playwright Ellen West.
10 | March 14, 2013 | coastweekend.com
“Lost Pioneer” tells the story of early pioneer life in Tillamook County and takes place in the days after the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II. Through imaginative storytelling, pioneer life meets modern life when reality is blurred after a minor automobile accident where the main character suffers a bump on the head. Trapped in her car and drifting in and out of consciousness, she takes the audience on a trip back in time through relived memories and storytelling. To help with the project, the creators of “Lost Pioneer” received a grant aided by the Tillamook County Cultural Coalition, along with the Nehalem Valley Historical Society, the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum and Tillamook County Historical Society. The play was performed along the coast last year for sold-out audiences and

hour before curtain and concessions will be available both before and after the show. Audiences will also have an opportunity to interact with Cole and Beach after the 45-minute performance.

POURING AT THE COAST Craft Beer Fest Oregon microbrews reign in Seaside at fourth annual event Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH • Photos by ALEX PAJUNAS
B
Beer lover, beer maker or curious about what’s up in Oregon’s ever- growing craft brewing world – there’s no better place to be than in Seaside Saturday, March 16 for the fourth annual Pouring at the Coast, a celebration of Oregon’s craft beers. But wait – the hip and happening event really kicks off at 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 15 with a couple of pre-functions. With a generous donation from food distributor Sysco, the North Oregon Coast Brewer’s dinner and beer pairing takes place at Seaside’s McKeown’s Restaurant. Seating is limited to 80, advanced reservations are necessary, guests must be at least 21 years old and the cost is $50 per person. It’s an opportunity to mix and mingle with participating brewmasters in an intimate setting. Guinness Bangers over caramelized fennel and onion served with a craft “beer back” of Rogue Irish Lager and a lively side of brew banter is but one example of what to expect during the five course meal. Reservations can be made at http:// pouringatthecoast.com or by calling 503-738-6391. On the more casual side, Friday is perfect for exploring area brew pubs from Astoria to Cannon Beach. The Pouring at the Coast website has an interactive map pinpointing the brewery locations. Also on tap for the first time this year, if you happen to be a female beer aficionado there’s something just for you. Lady beer lovers unite 6 p.m. Friday at the Seaside Brewing Company located at 851 Broadway. Remember this image – sweaty, rough and tumble jocks and jock wannabes knocking back a few cold ones with their belching buddies? That was before Oregon became a craft brewing Mecca and Oregon women along with men tapped into the micro-brewing business. In 1984, Dick and Nancy Ponzi founded Portland’s first craft beer brewery and brewpub, BridgePort Brewing. “It’s been wonderful watching the micro beer industry grow and have such a positive economic impact in our state, watching all the young people participating in our dynamic and creative industry,” Nancy Ponzi commented recently. In 1987, Irene Firmat opened Full Sail Brewing, which today is Oregon’s largest lager brewer. With that short history lesson in mind, the Women Enjoying Beer (WEB) flyer reads, “Here’s the mash: Are you a woman who has an opinion on beer? Then come join us and speak up!” WEB founder Ginger Johnson will share ideas and opinions about everything beer. The event is free and limited to 15 women. To attend, be 21 or older and pre-register by March 14 by emailing Ginger@WomenEnjoyingBeer.com or by calling 515-450-7757. In 2010, the Seaside Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the Oregon Brewers’ Guild, a non-profit organization that promotes the common interests of its members and of the Oregon brewing industry, presented Beach Bite and Brew. It was held in one room at Seaside’s Convention Center. Eight or nine brewers and around 200 guests showed up.

For the first time, Fort George Brewery is canning one of their seasonal beers called Tender Loving Empire Northwest Pale Ale.
Oregon Microbreweries facts and figures :
• 134 brewing companies operate 166 brewing facilities in 60 cities in Oregon
• 51 breweries operate in Portland, more than any other city in the world.
In 2011, Beach Bite and Brew changed its name. “We had been racking our brains trying to come up with something clever that more suited what the event was all about – Oregon’s growing micro brewing and its many fans,” Doug Baker, Seaside Chamber of Commerce coordinator, said. “Chamber Co-event Coordinator Jeanee Clark, (who retired in 2012) burst into the chamber offices one morning saying, ‘I think I’ve got it!’ She was right; Pouring at the Coast was and is the perfect name. That year 12 brewers participated and over 300 guests attended. We filled another room at the Convention Center and added the Friday night Brewers’ Dinner. “In 2012, following the Friday night Brewers’ Dinner for 50 guests (this year it’s 80), the Saturday event moved to the Great Hall at the Convention Center. 18 Oregon micro breweries were there, we added a home brewers’ competition and around 650 people showed up,” Baker said. 2013 sees Pouring at the Coast growing again. 21 Oregon breweries present more than 40 different micro beers to try; local food purveyors will sell food specially prepared to complement the beer; and the Coconuts, a local band, will keep toes tapping. There are craft beer seminars, trivia contests, a cooking with beer class, the popular home brew competition and a people’s choice award. The event takes over the entire Seaside Convention Center from 4 to 9 p.m. and is open to the public as long as you are 21 (don’t forget your i.d.). Admission to the Saturday tasting comes in three tiers, each including a souvenir glass: $10 buys a glass and three tasting tokens, $20 gets a glass and 14 tokens, and a group package for four people is $50 and includes four souvenir glasses and 28 tokens. A portion of the proceeds from the Pouring at the Coast event will be donated to the Seaside Food Bank. Along with all of those micro beers, there will be some wine on hand, and there’s plenty of nonalcoholic beverages too. Good tastes, good fun and some proceeds benefitting a good cause. Let the good times pour! • Oregon brewing companies employ 5,650 full and part-time employees.
• Total economic impact from the beer industry on Oregon’s economy is $2.44 billion.
Fort George Brewery and Public House owners Jack Harris, right, and Chris Nemlowill, will have some of their beers included among the more than 40 different microbrews available during Pouring at the Coast.

Riverview Buffet does not impress the Mouth
W
henIw W asakiand dm y pal tea w as m ore primed for corn dogs than camembert, I loved the idea of a buffet. Occasionally my family would make a shopping trip to Kelso, and at my incessant begging we would stop at a popular “all-you-caneat, giant-salad-bar, gut-busting” buffet. As a child I was boggle-eyed at the sheer variety of it all … an entire bar of desserts! As an adult though, my dining tastes became much more discerning, and I realized something very important about (most) buffet restaurants – quality is almost always sacrificed for quantity. This observation seems unfortunately quite true of the Riverview Buffet, an Asian buffet on the 11th Street docks in Astoria. The red Pier 11 building was the former home of Pier 11 Feedstore Restaurant and Lounge and then Cecil’s Trolley Stop, both owned by George Brugh, who was in the space for some 30-odd years. Since Brugh’s exit in 2003, many businesses have filled the space, which, thanks to its location, boasts arguably the best view of the Columbia River in town. Riverview Buffet opened last summer and is the only all-you-can-eat Asian buffet in Astoria, which makes it an instant attraction for many people. On the evening I visited, I walked through the door and stood at the entrance for several minutes waiting to be noticed by someone who could seat
me, so I took the time to peruse the buffet offerings. There was one hot food bar, featuring typical Chinese favorites such as General Tso’s chicken and pork fried rice, a modest selection of sushi, a small salad bar, peel-and-eat shrimp and crack-ityourself crab legs, a few soups, and a few desserts. There is also a Mongolian grill-type area (although the ingredient offerings seemed paltry), but there was no operator present, so it was unclear if this restaurant feature was available on this particular evening. I decided to begin with the sushi, because I always want sushi. The sushi was ready made and the plates atop ice, not actually being prepared in plain sight, and the quality was poor. I was uneasy about sampling the raw salmon sushi, as there seemed to be some variation in color between each roll; some of the salmon looked more fresh, while it looked as though some had been sitting a while uncovered. The fish had darkened in color and looked waxy. Overall the temperature of the sushi seemed a little warm, not as cool as it should have been. Next I tried the peel-and-eat shrimp, which were okay with the addition of cocktail sauce, but
the crab legs were small and thin, without much meat, and oddly sweetened. The egg-flour soup was rather gelatinous and seemed to be mostly broth. The hot buffet was filled with offerings typically found in many Chinese restaurants, such as
At most buffet restaurants, quality is almost always sacrificed for quantity. the aforementioned chicken and fried rice, plus pot stickers, egg rolls and the like. I was encouraged to see broiled salmon, but it was flavorless, and steamer clams, which were rubbery and overdone. Even the fried rice was overly cooked, gummy and bland. The orange chicken was average but nothing sensational, and chow mein noodles were very greasy. In the instance of both the sushi and the Chinese cuisine offerings, better quality can be

PRICES: The lunch buffet is $8.75, and the dinner buffet is $11.75. Many diners will enjoy paying such low prices for as much food as they can eat, but as I’ve said, any price for poor food is too high.
SERVICE: It took a long time for us to be greeted and seated, and our server was adequate but not very present (although, perhaps this isn’t necessary in a buffet setting).
ATMOSPHERE: The view is spectacular, if it could be seen well through the windows, which are in need of cleaning. The floors were dirty and the table and chairs sticky. The restaurant has

found elsewhere. My goal as The Mouth is to be both honest and fair. I approach each dining experience with an open mind and with the hope of being able to write a favorable review. I want all local businesses to succeed. I take no joy in writing a negative review of any restaurant, but on the whole I was very unimpressed with Riverview Buffet, and I cannot recommend it. In closing I would also like to provide you with some health and safety information that is important to know when visiting any buffet. Because of the self-serve format of buffet-style dining, there is a risk of cross-contamination. In a good restaurant kitchen, employees are trained in safe food handling practices. They all wear gloves and replace them with a fresh pair any time they touch their face, hair or anything unclean. They wash their hands frequently. Anyone who is ill is usually encouraged by their employer to stay home, so as not to risk spreading germs to others or to the food. At a buffet-style restaurant, however, in addition to the regular employees, the server is YOU… and every other man, woman and child (who, according to the CDC, will contract seven to 13 colds a year) who dines there that day. Think of all the serving spoons and forks you must touch each time you fill your plate, and all the other diners who touched that exact same spoon or fork. I’m sure you’ve washed your hands, but what about everyone else? Likewise, if you’ve ever seen a serving utensil floating in a dish or the handle touching food, this is an example of crosscontamination and that food shouldn’t be eaten. To ensure that your dining experience at any buffet is a healthy and pleasant one, and that you come away with satisfaction rather than a foodborne illness, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and hot water prior to hitting the buffet line and ideally, again after you’ve dished yourself up, and notify a food-service employee if you see examples of cross-contamination.

‘Imperfect Spirituality’ Author raised in Seaside celebrates publication of first book SEASIDE — Polly Campbell grew up in Seaside (her parents Steve and Lynda Campbell still live there) and graduated from Seaside High School. She used to sell snow cones and cotton candy to tourists during the summer season while she dreamed of writing a book. Her dreams came true in November of 2012 when Viva Editions published her first book, “Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People.” After graduating from the University of Oregon with a degree in journalism, she started her career at the Beaverton Valley Times and freelancing for The Oregonian. Campbell, who now lives in Beaverton, decided to cut back her work schedule to care for her new baby in 2006. The transition wasn’t easy. “Imperfect Spirituality really came out of a messy, tough time in my life,” Campbell explained. “I’d lost several assignments due to the recession, parenting a non-napping baby was exhausting and hard, I’d had a cancer scare, and I just felt like nothing was working. In the past I’d always turned to meditation or spiritual study to regain my equilibrium, but I didn’t have time for those practices, so I started writing about that and began discovering practical, fun ways to live this life that is challenging and big and messy and
completely imperfect.” In “Imperfect Spirituality,” Campbell says she wants to entertain, inspire and encourage others who are feeling stuck or otherwise not good enough. “We are so hard on ourselves,” she said, “and that only works to keep us stuck. It’s actually within those flawed, imperfect moments – which we all experience – that we can elevate our lives by recognizing our unique gifts; the creativity and courage and compassion that exists within each of us in every moment even while you’re folding laundry and chopping carrots.” Campbell’s book is filled with practical exercises to help people harness the power of selfacceptance and release self-sabotaging beliefs, find their courage and creativity and launch their best lives. A workshop leader and popular blogger at Huffington Post and ImperfectSpirituality.com, Campbell emerges as a fresh new voice in spirituality who offers a path to wisdom we can all take every day. Campbell will appear at noon Thursday, March 21, at Beach Books for its Lunch with the Author series. Now located at 616 Broadway, Beach Books can be reached at 503-738-3500 for a reservation. Cost for this event is $20 for lunch and a signed copy of “Imperfect Spirituality” or $7 for lunch only. Campbell will return in

National Poetry Month April showers the coast with verse to come MANZANITA and BAY CITY — In honor of National Poetry Month, the Manzanita Writers’ Series and Bay City Arts Center present a weekend dedicated to the joys of poetry. Beach and Bay Poetry Weekend will take place April 6 and 7. Two workshops and a public poetry reading will take place Saturday, April 6, at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave. in Manzanita. In the morning from 10 a.m. to noon, poet Stephanie Lenox will present “Other Shoes,” a workshop to help you learn to embody the voices of your characters. This workshop is for poets of all levels, as well as fiction writers interested in devel-
oping authentic characters through poetic experimentation. From 1 to 3 p.m., poet John Morrison will present the workshop “Re-Vision,” geared to the practicing poet. Learn how to take a shimmering first draft, or a cranky literary problem child, to a deeper level. Cost is $30 per workshop or $50 for both. At 3:30 p.m., Lenox and Morrison will read from their own poetry, followed by a Community Open Mic. The event is free to workshop participants and $7 to non-workshop attendees. Continue the poetry-fest Sunday, April 7, at the Bay City Arts Center, 5680 A St. in Bay City, where you can savor

The image will be used for print media, including newspapers, magazines, brochures, advertisements and flyers, and for broadcast and online media and outdoor signage. “It is an honor to have my artwork chosen for this event of many wonderful inspired performances,” said Thompson. “Seeing one of my paintings associated with such a prestigious event is one of the highlights of my career.” Thompson is a Northwest artist with an international reputation who lives on the coast of Washington state. She has been painting Northwest coastal scenes in oil for more than 40 years. “Some of my happiest times at the seashore have been just before a storm,” she said. “The air seems heavy, laden with the perceived power of winddriven rain. Skies are darker, more intense, as the last vestige of sunlight is nearly obscured. This oil painting depicts one such moment in time on the Pacific Coast of the Northwest, just before the weather front unleashes its full fury. Then, people and animals and shore birds seek shelter to wait out the torrents of rain and the lashing of

A bid was awarded last summer and construction began in July to expand the space to 5,932 square feet, almost doubling the size of the original library. TRL Library Director Cheryl Heywood said, “The library is so much brighter, more open and inviting, with great new spaces to read, research and participate in programs.” Visitors will notice new carpet and skylights, all new furnishings, additional seating areas, a separate area for teens and more space for children, along with a new checkout and information desk and lighting for the shelving. The grand reopening includes classical music by the Mozart Chicks beginning at noon, followed by remarks, a ribbon cutting and cake at 1:30 p.m. Performing at 2 p.m. will be family favorite Brownsmead Flats, a local quintet well known for vocal harmonies and a folk/bluegrass sound.

Grays Harbor College Ilwaco learning center offers course in orchid growing ILWACO, Wash. — There are thousands of orchid species and hybrids, which is fortunate because people are drawn to special color brilliance, distinct form or entrancing fragrance. Just because a beautiful orchid beckons, however, does not mean that the
orchid is a good match for your growing conditions. “Growing Amazing Orchids” is a class designed for people who are searching to identify the best orchid companions for home and/or work environments, and who are interested in learn-
ing the best growing techniques for their orchids. Knowing the best environment for your orchids is critical. The health of an orchid is determined by light, temperature, potting mix, watering and fertilizing strategies. Some orchids

A collage by Leon Lowman, who is showing at the Seaside Library through April 30. – SUBMITTED PHOTO
Seaside Public Library SEASIDE — The Seaside Public Library is currently showing “Collage,” by Washington artist Leon Lowman. The exhibit will be held in the Community Room and foyer and runs through April 30. Acrylic paint is a medium Lowman has enjoyed working in since he was a teenager, when a high school teacher introduced the young artist to it. At first he painted landscapes and seascapes on the island of Puerto Rico, where he grew up.
He then started experimenting in abstracts and eventually began adding collage to his work, which fascinates him to this day. Working with collage allows Lowman to experiment with various materials, textures, and most intriguing, the many photographic images that can be found. The challenge of creating an abstract composition that makes sense is what excites him about this artistic process. Painting allows him the free-
dom to borrow from his past, experiment in a meaningful context, and paint in a manner that reflects the way he feels about the world today. Lowman received an M.A. in painting from the University of Northern Iowa, and has exhibited extensively in the Northwest as well as gallery showings in Los Angeles, Tallahassee, Fla., and Paris, France. He lives in Kelso Wash. Seaside Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more information, call 503-738-6742 or visit www.seasidelibrary.org and www.facebook.com/seasidepubli clibrary
are epiphytes, growing on tree bark, and some are terrestrial, growing in soil. Familiarity with orchid pests and disease is critical. Most orchids are not temperamental; if you understand orchid requirements and match those with what you are willing and able to provide, your orchids will be long-lived, bloom prolifically, and add great joy to your home or office. “Growing Amazing Orchids” will be held from 1 to 3 p.m.
Mondays, April 22 through June 3, at the Grays Harbor College Columbia Education Center, 208 Advent Ave., S.E. Enrollment for spring courses opens March 18. Tuition is $49.33, with a 10 percent discount if registered by April 1, and further discounted for seniors. For more information, call 360-642-9433 or log on to www.ghc.edu and click on Community Education and then Ilwaco.
