Brown, her daughter Pherne Pringle and granddaughter Virgilia Pringle, women who took the first Applegate Cutoff in 1846. Tabitha was 66 years old and lame when
she began the journey. It was what she did after arriving in the Oregon Territory that inspired the 1987 Oregon Legislature to name her the Mother of Oregon.

Ages & Ages, The Cave Singers come to Astoria ASTORIA — The Liberty Theatre’s Sunset Series will present a special co-headliner concert of two of the Pacific Northwest’s brightest: Ages & Ages from Portland and The Cave Singers from Seattle. The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. March 18 at the theater, located at 1203 Commercial St. Tickets cost $25 general admission and are available at ticketswest.com If Ages and Ages’ debut album “Alright You Restless” declared independence from the cynicism and self-consciousness plaguing a generation; and the follow-up “Divisionary” was an exercise in confronting change, conflict, and loss; then “Something to Ruin” addresses the debris of our collective failures and asks whether we might be better off letting go and starting over. Recorded at Isaac Brock’s studio (Ice Cream Party), the band’s fourth

album is still full of their infectious and joyful melodies while also reflecting on several serious existential themes. Early on in the writing process of this record, Ages & Ages alternative indie band leaders Tim Perry and Rob Oberdorfer traveled to Central America and visited indigenous ruins partly engulfed by surrounding forests — a tangible reminder of the imperma-
nence of human civilization and the resilience of nature. Back at home in Portland, their community was being engulfed by something entirely different. Like so many other cities around the country, rapid growth and development were changing both its landscape and culture. “Banshee,” the fifth album from Seattle’s Cave Singers, might wrap you in with its rhythmic folk quite
submissively. Front-man Peter Quirk rambles off rhythmic vocals that sound like a free-styling troubadour, atop lo-fi instruments that keep things natural and earthy in the most foreboding ways possible. Featuring former members of Murder City Devils and Pretty Girls Make Graves, Cave Singers released their first two records on Matador, then jumped over to Jagjaguwar for their next two LPs , including 2013’s “Naomi.” On “Banshee,” the band decided to self-release their newest work, and the result is its most cohesive statement to date. “Banshee” brings The Cave Singers back to their original three pieces of vocalist/songwriter Peter Quirk, guitarist Derek Fudesco and drummer Marty Lunda. The album was recorded live in July of 2015 over six days with producer Randall Dunn.

much to make the Liberty’s restoration happen,” said former Liberty president, Steve Forrester. “Our board feels obliged to honor them publicly. “Hal Snow was corporate secretary from the mid1990s until about 2006,” Forrester added. “Michael Foster was a board member from the moment we began to envision a new performing space, at the Liberty or somewhere else in Astoria.” Through the Snow Family Foundation, Snow made a succession of gifts to the theater — for the chandelier restoration, the canopy manufacture and the box office restoration.
ASTORIA — Prominent Astorians Michael Foster and Hal Snow died in late 2016. To honor them and their legacies, the Liberty Theatre will host A Gathering of Gratitude at 1 p.m. Sunday, March 19. At the event, which is free and open to the public, people will talk about the roles that Snow and Foster played in the lives of many area nonprofit organizations. “Hal and Michael did so

He also floated the idea of creating the second-floor reception area that later become the McTavish Room, underwritten by Shawn Teevin.” “Michael was patient in helping the board find a chandelier for the McTavish Room,” said Forrester. Jerry Gustafson underwrote the purchase in honor of his wife, Marilyn. According to Forrester, “Without the contributions of Michael and Hal — financial, emotional, and intellec-

A 30-year fascination with wood Hammond artist JR Moyer enjoys the yin and yang of working with wood
W By DAN HAAG
When a sunset or a piece of glass or a landscape calls, artists answer. Sometimes they know why, other times it’s an inexorable compulsion. In the case of Hammond’s JR Moyer, it’s three decades’ worth of a fascination with wood, its unique characteristics and its place in history. Moyer’s Hammond location provides much of the inspiration he finds in wood: He lives in a “fine old home” built in 1889, complete with attached workshop that is filled with a collection of wood found along the North Coast. As with any burgeoning artist, Moyer drew upon childhood inspirations to find his current path, including a book of the works of Michelangelo given to him as a gift. “It was a no-brainer,” he says. Moyer’s early attempts were a stone bust, followed by ship carving and kite construction. Through trial-and-error, he quickly realized that his hands were more comfortable with heavier tools. “When I try to draw or paint I am distracted by how unsteady my hands can be,” he says. “The weight of a hammer or chisel eliminated that issue, and it has been wood working ever since.” Moyer holds a degree in marine biology, though he can’t point to a specific moment he made the leap from science to art. “Most kids my age grew up watching and wanting to be like Jacques Cousteau,” he says. “I built things and worked with wood from childhood.” While doing his graduate work at the University of Washington, Moyer spent time in the San Juan Islands. This period cemented his love of the coastal Northwest. When the university opted to close its labs, Moyer was faced with finding a new path. “Life just moved in another direction,” he says. Now, his body of work can be seen in galleries in Maryland, Oregon and Washington. His pieces have been featured in settings from restaurant entrances in Austin, Texas, to shopping malls in southern Maryland as well as in area magazines
JR Moyer’s favorite large projects are rocking chairs, which often feature found wood. The Hammond woodworker says he is encouraged, supported and inspired by his wife, Kristy.

highlighting local art and artists in and around the Oregon Coast. His commissioned works hang in the city counsel chambers of Cannon Beach, as well as in private collections across the country. Some of his work can be seen at Primary Elements Gallery in Cannon Beach. Quite a different direction, indeed. Moyer’s shop — dubbed Hammerhead Woodworking — allows him to freely investigate his fascination with the many grains and textures of wood. He also enjoys the evolution of his style, an exploration of yin and yang. “I hate to use a word as overworked as ‘fusion,’ but I really enjoy the accuracy you can achieve with modern tools,” he

Inspired by wood found on nearby beaches, JR Moyer often incorporates these highly figured pieces into new designs, such as this table.
says. “It requires you to be hyper focused, very alert. It is loud and dusty — ‘yang’ in a way. I spend almost an equal amount of time with chisel, spoke shave, hand rasp and sand paper. It is visceral and meditative, the ‘yin’ side.” Moyer began making reproductions of Victorian or Craftsman styles, and he learned a lot of joinery techniques from Stickley and Greene styles. As he became more fascinated with the wood he found on nearby beaches, he began to incorporate these highly figured pieces into new designs, or create artwork with the figured wood alone. As Moyer prepares to work on a piece, he usually heads to his shop with a rough idea and an even rougher sketch. “To me, each piece in progress represents a free-flowing incarnation of the design process,” Moyer says. Moyer’s favorite projects are both small and large. When he needs “closure,” he enjoys turning bowls on a lathe or making a lamp. But nothing compares to the creation of rocking chairs.
“My new ‘large’ project favorite by a mile is making rocking chairs. It is pretty close to having everything,” Moyer says. “You get to stand back and admire the beauty of the wood or design as in other wood art, but it is next level in that you move with it and so closely interact with it in ways other furniture cannot approach — very tactile.” Moyer also enjoys a multitude of local projects, from small homeowner redesigns and repairs to the Craftsman renovation in the Coast Guard area, which brought him back to the Stickley style. He was also part of the team that restored the Astoria Riverfront Trolley. Now, as Moyer spends time in his shop, perched on the topmost corner of the coast, he reflects on what shaping wood has taught him. “The joys of a moment are balanced by more than a moment of humility as the limitations of technique or ability are revealed,” he says.

Liberty presents reader’s theater production of ‘Doubt’ ASTORIA —What is doubt? Is doubt a sign of weakness, or does it require more courage than conviction does? These questions and more are raised in the play “Doubt: A Parable” by John Patrick Shanley. The play will be performed in a reader’s theater format at the Liberty Theatre’s McTavish Room at 7 p.m. March 22, 23, 29 and 30. In the play, set in 1964, Sister Aloysius, a Bronx
school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young, beloved and progressive parish priest Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the school’s male students. Shanley’s play won the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the 2005 Tony Award for Best Play. It was also turned into an Academy Award-nominated film starring Philip Seymour
Hoffman and Meryl Streep. The Astoria reader’s theater production stars Susi Brown as Sister Aloysius, Lori Wilson Honl as Sister James, Bereniece Jones as Mrs. Mueller and Daric Moore as Father Flynn. The play is directed by Sen Incavo. Tickets are $15 and available on TicketsWest.com or at the Liberty Theatre box office, open 2:30 to 5 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday.
It’s already beach season for the Haystack Rock Awareness Program CANNON BEACH — Join the Haystack Rock Awareness Program on the beach, daily, during low tide, now through the end of October. Thecomplete beach schedule can be found on the city of Cannon Beach website, under the Haystack Rock Awareness Program. The Haystack Rock Awareness Program is entering its 32nd season on the beach.

HRAP Rocky Shore Environmental Interpreters will be on the beach, weather permitting, during daily low tides to educate visitors at Haystack Rock about biodiversity found both on and around the rock. The completely free, public education program will change as the seasons change — with the arrival and departure of various animals to the area. Interpreters will offer bird scopes, aquaria stations, an interactive visitor table with a microscope, and many other fun educational opportunities. HRAP offers both volunteer opportunities as well

What does Trump intend for women in college? ASTORIA — The future of education has been prominent in the news lately, mostly in terms of K-12 education. But what about postsecondary education? What does the Trump administration have in mind for women seeking posthigh school education? To help answer these questions, the Astoria chap-

Wahkiakum County, Washington’s Krist Novoselic, who was the bass guitarist in the grunge band Nirvana, will perform with his new local band, Giants in the Trees, March 18 at Merry Time Bar & Grill in Astoria.
Giants in the Trees plays Merry Time Wahkiakum County quartet includes Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic
ASTORIA — Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic has a new band. Rock band Giants in the Trees hails from Wahkiakum County, Washington, and the quartet finds inspiration from the environment and culture of the lower Columbia River. Musicians Novoselic, Jillian Ray, Erik Friend and Ray Prestegard have created a sound that could best be described as ambient country with a heavy groove. But pigeon-holes are mere words — let the music do the talking.
Hear the band perform at 10 p.m. Saturday, March 18 at the Merry Time Bar & Grill, located at 995 Marine Drive in downtown Astoria. The bar is 21 and older, and there is no cover charge. Giants in the Trees will play original music for an hour or so. The band first met for a casual jam in the Skamokawa Grange Hall last spring. The players wasted no time composing their first two songs on that first day. They were hooked to the music, and a band was born. Eventually, as more material was produced, the group started playing shows such as the Wahkiakum County Fair and a special benefit raising over $2,400 for needed repairs to the grange hall.
ROSBURG, Wash. — The fourth annual Community In-Door Super Sale will be held as a fundraising event for the Grays River Valley Center at the old Rosburg school in Johnson Park from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 25.

Contributions of non-perishables will be welcomed at the food bank on sale day and at any other
time during its open hours. Food and beverages, prepared by the Rosburg Senior Center, will be available for purchase at the InDoor Super Sale, as well as baked goods by the Grays River United Methodist Church Friendship Circle.

TALK CRAFT BEER W EIGHTH ANNUAL POURING AT THE COAST TAKES OVER THE SEASIDE CONVENTION CENTER MARCH 18

By KATHERINE LACAZE FOR COAST WEEKEND
hen a bevy of beer samples converges with the breeze and spray of the ocean, it can only mean one thing: It’s Pouring at the Coast in Seaside. In its eighth year, this annual event, to be held from 3 to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 18 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center, promises a taste of some of the best craft beer being brewed in Oregon and parts of Washington in a beach-town setting. While many communities in the Pacific Northwest host local craft beer festivals, Pouring at the Coast “really does have its own flair and flavor,” according to Brian Owen, executive director of the Seaside Chamber of Commerce. “It’s one of the first for the year, and then also, it’s a destination,” he said. “It’s more than just a beer fest. It’s a day at the beach. It’s an (invitation to) ‘Come play and stay in Seaside.’”
‘Interesting and fresh’
The partnership between Seaside Brewing Company and the chamber, which began a few years into the event, has been crucial to optimizing the
festival experience for both attendees and vendors. While the chamber has resources for planning, promoting and presenting the event, Jimmy Griffin and his team at the brewery have a connection to the craft beer industry and know what it takes to entice other breweries to participate. “(Griffin) talks beers,” Owen said. “He understands what a brewer needs and how to attract them to come and be a vendor ... He knows the players.” Each of the approximately 40 breweries in attendance will offer from one to a few different varieties, introducing and familiarizing people with their brand. Some use is as “a live lab to break out some of their new stuff for the spring and summer; some stick with their old standards,” Griffin said, adding, “Making a friend who loves your beer is the whole goal.” The organizers aim for diversity among breweries and brewers to give the festival variety and depth. About half the companies coming this year have participated in the past, and the rest are new faces. After ensuring the local coastal companies receive “a good representation,” Griffin tries to bring in multiple new breweries to “keep it interesting
and fresh for the people who come every year.” For locals, the festival is an opportunity to sample selections from companies who don’t normally distribute to the coast. For visitors, the festival is one more good reason to come to the beach. Participants can travel among the breweries, sampling what catches their eye and discussing the drinks. Rather than relying on volunteers who may not be familiar with the brands or beers, the organizers ask the breweries to pour their own beer, which is done by the brewer, owner or a representative. The idea, Griffin said, is people don’t want to merely try a beer, “they want to hear the story behind the beer.” Because of the ratio of breweries to attendees, the event is conducive to plenty of one-on-one time. “It’s kind of perfect the way we do it,” Griffin said. “It’s a good healthy number of breweries, for sure, but there’s also a lot of personal interaction.” Last year, about 800 people attended the festival. Based on online sales as of early March, the event will have significant attendance by out-of-town visitors, from Portland and Eugene to Seattle and Tacoma, Washington. In addition to
the chamber’s more robust social media campaign through Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, many of the breweries are marketing the event within their local communities, according to Owen. “This year, we are communicating in areas we never have,” he said. “So we are looking for a little bump in attendance. This year, hopefully, my goal is for 1,000.”
Gone this year, but not forgotten
While marginal growth for the afternoon tasting is anticipated, a slightly different look to the overall event is a certainty. For starters, the Oregon Coast Brewer’s Dinner, the traditional and wellloved kick-off to Pouring at the Coast held the night before, will not take place this year. “There was a conflict we were not able to overcome in a timely manner,” Owen said. “We did have to put that off to the side.” The organizers hope to bring it back in coming years, although the dinner likely will be revamped or restructured.

R WITH BREWERIES Continued from Pg. 10
Another idea for the future is to make Pouring at the Coast a two-day tasting festival, which could affect the reappearance of the Brewer’s Dinner. “All those things are on the table,” Owen said. The Home Brew Competition also will be absent this year. Because Pouring at the Coast overlaps with the first round of judging for the National Homebrew Competition, organizers knew it would be difficult to find an adequate number of certified judges to adjudicate the event correctly. “If we couldn’t do it right, we didn’t want to do it,” Griffin said. However, many homebrew competitors in the past did not actually attend the event, but rather sent in or dropped of their submissions. “They weren’t necessarily active within the event itself,” Owen said, adding the lack of the competition — which was conducted upstairs, behind closed doors — should not affect the experience for those who attend the festival. Like the Brewer’s Dinner, the Homebrew Competition may return to future events. Regardless, the organizers are optimistic about what Pouring at the Coast is and can continue to offer locals and tourists alike. “With the additional growth opportunities we’re looking,” such as adding a second tasting day or changing the dinner, Own said, “we’ll continue this event to be a wonderful asset for Seaside and for our visiting population.” As Griffin puts it, “Everyone is looking for an excuse to go to the coast. You throw 40 breweries on top of that, and it makes it really hard for people to say ‘no.’” The River Inn at Seaside, the official Pouring at the Coast hotel, also is a sponsor for the event. Attendees can get 15 percent reduced rates by mentioning “Pouring at the Coast” while booking rooms. Concession-style pub fare from Oregon Fine Foods will be available for purchase at the event. Tickets at the door are $20, which includes a souvenir pouring glass and five tastings. Additional tastings are available for $1 each.

CANNON BEACH — Mixing storytelling, live music and of course shadow puppets, Oregon Shadow Theatre presents “Thumbelina” at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 18 at Tolovana Hall. Admission is free. Based on Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale, the show is designed for kids ages 5 and up — but as with any worthwhile children’s entertainment, the adaptation is full of winks, nods and references that only adults will appreciate. “It’s full of little jokes,” says Oregon Shadow Theatre’s Mick Doherty, “which the kids think make total sense.” In this telling, Thumbelina is literally a flower child, and her journey views nature’s minuscule inner-workings up close. Along the way Thumbelina meets frogs, swallows, mice, flying beetles and, well, Beatles. “While the plot of the play follows Andersen’s story,” Doherty says, “the script supports a comedic subtext linking music of the 1960s and ’70s.” “Hans Christian Andersen never had it so groovy,” wrote the Seattle Times in a review of the show. “Thumbelina meets a mouse, Mrs. Strawberry Fields. The mouse’s best friend is the

Kids can learn to cook at spring break day camp ASTORIA — North Coast Food Web brings back its Kids Cooking Camp from March 27 to 31 for Astoria Public Schools’ spring break. This hands-on cooking series for children ages 7 and older teaches basic kitchen skills through preparing delicious, healthy, made-from-scratch menus. Over the course of the week, students will cook everything from re-envisioned classics like peanut butter and jelly smoothies made with real fruits to zucchini pizza with freshly created ricotta cheese. “Separating the curds and whey is like a science project that the students love,” said Wendy D’Agostino, NCFW Kitchen Coordinator and camp chef. NCFW aims to make the camp fun while helping teach children about healthy eating choices. “Being the chef often leaves kids willing to try something they thought they didn’t like,” said D’Agostino. Class runs each day from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and includes a morning snack and lunch that students prepare.

Find pregnant women, furry critters, deadly plots in murder mysteries By BARBARA LLOYD MCMICHAEL
Some folks can gobble up murder mysteries for breakfast, lunch and dinner; so in their honor this week, we’re going to look at a couple of recent offerings in that genre. Seattle novelist and certified yoga therapist Tracy Weber launched her Downward Dog series in 2014 with “Murder Strikes a Pose.” Now the fourth installment, “A Fatal Twist,” has arrived in bookstores. Yoga instructor Kate Davidson is still running her yoga studio, living with her boyfriend Michael, and socializing her rescue German shepherd. But now she’s added a couple new layers to her busy life — fostering two puppies that were left on the doorstep of Michael’s pet shop, and training to become a doula in order to help her friend Rene, who is pregnant with twins. The fatal twist comes when Kate agrees to attend the opening of the new birthing center where Rene is scheduled to have her babies. At the event, she runs into one of her yoga clients, Rachel, who is married to a fertility doctor at the center. But before the evening is over, Rachel is a widow and murder suspect No. 1. Kate, certain that her client could not possibly be a killer, is convinced that she must sleuth out the real murderer because the cops probably won’t bother to
“A Fatal Twist” by Tracy Weber Midnight Ink, 312 pp., $14.99 “Expecting to Die” by Lisa Jackson Kensington, 470 pp., $9.99 look beyond their prime suspect. She prevails upon Rene to dog-sit her three challenging canines while she gallivants across the city, conducting an amateur investigation that becomes more convoluted than some of those extreme yoga poses you see on TV. When it comes to plot, author Weber may not always succeed in getting you to suspend your disbelief. But her quirky characters ring true — particularly Kate, whose self-effacing humor, vegan lifestyle, campaign to democratize yoga, and soft spot for pooches make her someone you’d want to stay in touch with,
book after book. This cozy mystery series is building its fan base on the strengths of her personality. Another writer of serial murder mysteries is Lisa Jackson. This uber-prolific Lake Oswego author has dozens of book credits; the most recent is “Expecting to Die,” the seventh book in her Montana-based Selena Alvarez/Regan Pescoli series. In Grizzly Falls, Detective Pescoli is working right up to her due date. The murder of two teenaged girls in the woods outside of town is putting her on edge, particularly since her own teenaged daughter discovered one of the bodies — after being chased through the woods by what she described as a monster. The rumor mill has quickly turned this into a sasquatch sighting, and now a reality TV show is rolling into town. Jackson is an expert at plot complications, and they abound in “Expecting to Die.” In addition to murder, you’ll find illicit affairs, teen pregnancies, a kidnapping and an ex-husband who’s a bum. It’s enough to make you want to throw in the towel on humanity. Or keep turning the pages, to find out what comes next. The Bookmonger is Barbara Lloyd McMichael, who writes this weekly column focusing on the books, authors and publishers of the Pacific Northwest. Contact her at bkmonger@nwlink.com

Clammers walk the beach during low tide.
NW word
nerd
By RYAN HUME
Tide [tīd] noun 1. The twice daily rise and fall of the sea due to pull of the sun and the moon. Each high and low tide lasts about 12 hours verb (archaic) 2. to drift, or ebb and flow, as in with the tide Origin: Enters English before 1121 from the Old English, tīd, which referred to a portion of time. Its original meaning in English was synonymous with the word “season,” as in a fixed segment of the year. The first reference of the term being applied to the swell of the ocean is recorded in 1340. “More especially is this true of the
tide lands, which form such a large and valuable percentage of Clatsop’s area. While the work of clearing from timber the land farther back is laborious and expensive — involving in some cases a cost of $100 dollars an acre — the dyking of the tide lands, though no less costly, insures at once an area of tillable soil convenient to market and capable of growing any cereal except Indian corn, and any root or grass known to man.”
—Geo. B. Loring, U.S. Commissioner of Agriculture, “Clatsop County Tide Lands,” The Daily Astorian, Saturday, Aug. 9, 1884, P. 3
“It is claimed that on the tide lands at and above Knappa, cranberries can profitably cultivated.”
—“Clatsop’s Great Land Wealth,” The Daily Morning Astorian, Friday, Dec. 4, 1896, P. 1
“According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word ‘tide’ originally meant ‘a portion, extent, or space of time; an age, a season, a time, a while’ and could also mean ‘a point in the duration of the day, month or year ... in reference to an action or repetition; occasion.’ You might recall those archaic words like ‘morrow-tide,’ ‘noontide’ or ‘eventide’ — now
we call them morning, noon and evening, but back then ‘tide’ helped to distinguish a specific part of a day. This sense of the word is still with us, such as in the phrase ‘good tidings,’ which refers to a good event. Thus, in the adage ‘time and tide wait for no man,’ the two words were originally an alliterative reduplication: synonyms that sounded good next to each other and emphasized the phrase’s meaning through repetition. The word ‘tide’ began to more exclusively mean ‘tide of the sea’ around 1500. This modern definition probably stems from the meaning ‘the time of high water’ or the space of time between low and high water. The meaning may have been borrowed from a similar Middle Low German word. Or the transference of sense could have gradually happened over the years, much like the changes wrought by an ebbing tide to a shoreline. It all goes to show that the message behind the words is real. Not even language is immune to the flow of time.”
—Sedlak, Rebecca, “New in town: ‘Time and tide wait for no man,’” Coast Weekend, Thursday, Dec. 26, 2012, P. 3

Stretch your art skills with students Astoria High School’s art club to lead workshop ASTORIA —All are invited to attend an art workshop hosted by Astoria High School’s community art club, Art Out Loud. The workshop will take place from 2 to 4
p.m. in the art classroom at Astoria High School, located at 1001 W. Marine Drive. This fun and family-oriented event offers opportunities to create art pieces in painting, pottery and pastels. Centering around the theme of spring, guests will be able to paint a landscape, use pastels to create a floral
piece, and mold clay into a bird’s nest. All activities will be instructed by student club members. Admission is $3 per person and $10 for a family. All proceeds go to Astoria High School’s art club The Art Out Loud club was chartered in 2015 by Elizabeth Roe, now a senior
raging sweet tooth; and the local social leader M’Lynn, whose daughter, Shelby, is about to marry a “good ole boy.” Filled with hilarious repartee and humorously revealing verbal collisions, the play moves toward tragedy when the spunky Shelby risks pregnancy against all advice. The sudden realization of their mortality affects the others but also draws on the underlying strength — and love — that gives the play, and its characters, the special quality to make them truly touching, funny and amiable company in good times and bad. Characters include six women, with ages ranging from 20s to 60s: • Truvy Jones, the owner of the beauty shop. • Annelle Dupuy-Desoto, the beauty shop assistant. • Clairee Belcher, the widow of the former mayor and a grande dame. • Shelby Eatenton-Latcherie, the prettiest girl in town. • M’Lynn Eatenton, Shelby’s mother and a socially prominent career woman. • Ouiser Boudreaux, a wealthy curmudgeon. Acerbic but loveable. All actors at auditions will read from pre-selected sides. If you wish to check out a copy of the play or the sides, contact the Coaster Theatre at 503-436-1242. Note that to check out a copy of the script requires a refundable $20 deposit. attending Astoria High School. AHS’s art teacher, Mickey Cereghino, serves as the club’s adviser. The club seeks to provide community service through the arts. Over the past years, the club’s activities has included making and distributing cards to Clatsop Care Center, art sessions at local elementary schools, charity art shows, and outreach to local schools and community.

Quilting at the Beach offers colorful quilts ILWACO, Wash. — Are you sick of gray skies? Add some color to your life, and attend the 22nd annual Quilting at the Beach event, where over 100 colorful quilts will be on display. Presented by the Peninsula Quilt Guild, Quilting at the Beach takes place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday, March 17 and 18 and from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 19 at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, located at 115 Lake St. Admission is free. This year, the guild has grown to 80 members and will exhibit work from the local area’s most talented fabric artists. All guild members are from Washington and Oregon. The quilts displayed will be as varied as the quilters
themselves. Quilts will be done in a variety of styles from scrappy, embroidered, applique and art quilts to quilts made by hand, by home machine and by longarm machine. Fabrics will also vary in color and type (including the quilter’s favorite: cotton). Quilts maybe adorned with thread buttons, rick-rack and even driftwood. Guild members participate in many charitable projects throughout the year, and quilts are donated to OHSU Hospice and Ocean Beach Hospital Hospice, Rotary and teddy bears with scrappy quits to children at Ocean Beach and Columbia Memorial hospitals. Several guild members also belong to Quilts from the Heart, which this year donated several hundred quilts to charity organizations.
Each year, members participate in the construction of a prize quilt, and $1 raffle tickets are sold at several venues, which generates a little over $3,000. The money is donated to many charitable organizations on the Long Beach Peninsula. This year’s colorful quilt, “Sailing Away,” is an oceanthemed quilt in a queen size to fit most beds. The drawing for the prize quilt will take place at 3 p.m. Sunday. This year, donations will be made to Camp Victory, Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, the Elks backpack program, His Supper Table, Peninsula Church Center, St. Vincent dePaul Food Bank, Ocean Park Food Bank, Boys and Girls Club and the Cranberry Museum. At the guild’s August picnic, a
basket filled with quilting items was raffled and the funds donated to the animal shelter. The Challenge Blocks displayed at the quilt show are made by guild members from packets of fabrics. Each member designs and makes a 12 half-foot quilt block that is judged at the show. The winning block receives an award. After the show, the blocks are made into a quilt and donated to the Ocean Beach Education Foundation for their auction. The guild meets at the Peninsula Church Center at 5000 N. Place in Seaview; anyone interested in membership is welcome. Talk to any of the hosts at the show, or just come to the church center at 1 p.m. on the second Monday of any month.

Sarah Dailey will lead a session about classic Egyptian-style belly dancing. The keynote speaker will be Shannon Kaiser.
The afternoon session will feature four additional workshops. First is holistic practitioner Debbie Inman, who will talk about meditation and the power of biofeedback. She will discuss how to tap into the energetic field to release past trauma as a means to open up to the limitless possibilities of your inner potential and share your gifts with the world. Sarah Dailey will then lead a session on “Embracing the
Feminine & Being Present in Oneself.” She will show attendees how movement can unlock inner beauty in a classic Egyptian-style belly dancing session. For Dailey, what began as an alternative form of exercise, soon turned into a life-changing hobby. Her journey from pre-to-post pregnancy dance helped her become more at peace with herself, on and off the dance floor. Worries about appearance, judgments, careers, family or anything else, can often weigh you down, even unknowingly. “There’s wonderful freedom in being able
to let go and be in the moment with the music and dance, be present in one’s self without the worries that often seep into our daily lives,” she says. Then, writer, illustrator and educator Heather Douglas will lead a session on self-exploration through photography and writing. Douglas is the author of two coloring books and a book of poetry. She also recently finished a writing residency through Astoria Visual Arts and is currently working on a novel. Then, host Angela Sidlo will wrap up the day of events by sharing her expertise as a holistic aromatherapist. She will offer an explration into the world of plant medicine and essential oils. Tickets are $98 each. Pre-registration is required. For more information and to register, visit http://tinyurl. com/eventbrite-coastalemersion. Or contact Sidlo at 503-338-9921. Proceeds will be given to the AAUW Scholarship Fund, Camp Kiwanilong Scholarship fFund and The Harbor to empower women.

Songstress Storm Large to perform in Cannon Beach Watch this Portland musician on stage at the Coaster Theatre CANNON BEACH — Singular vocalist Storm Large will come to the Coaster Theatre this March for two performances, and tickets are on sale now. The first show is set for 7:30 p.m. Saturday, March 18. Tickets for this show are already sold out. A second, intimate show is set for 3 p.m. Sunday, March 19, an afternoon that will include complimentary champagne and hors d’oeuvres. Only 100 seats are available, and tickets are $125 each. Performances contain adult themes and is recommended for audiences 18 and up. For details and questions, contact the theater box office at 503-4361242. Large is a musician, actor, playwright and author who shot to national prominence in 2006 as a finalist on the CBS show “Rock Star: Supernova,” where despite having been eliminated in the week before the finale, Large built a fan base that follows her around the world to this day. After spending the ’90s singing in clubs throughout San Francisco, Large moved to Portland to pursue a new career as a chef, but a last-minute cancellation in 2002 at the Portland club “Dante’s” turned into a standing Wednesday night engagement for Large and her new band, The Balls. It wasn’t long before Large had a cult-like following in Portland and a renewed singing career that was about to be launched

Portland musician Storm Large will perform March 18 and 19 at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach.
STORM LARGE 3 p.m. Sunday, March 19 Coaster Theatre 108 N. Hemlock St., Cannon Beach 503-436-1242 Only 100 tickets sold $125 onto the international stage. In 2007 she starred in Portland Center Stage’s smash-hit production of “Cabaret” with Wade McCollum, and her next endeavor, the autobiographical musical memoir “Crazy Enough,” played to packed houses in 2009. “Crazy Enough” was released by Simon and Schuster in 2012, named Oprah’s Book of the Week, and awarded the 2013 Oregon Book Award for Creative Nonfiction. She debuted with the Oregon Symphony in 2010, and has returned for sold out performances each year. Large made her debut as guest vocalist with the band Pink Martini in April 2011.
She continues to perform with the band, touring nationally and internationally, and she was featured on their album “Get Happy.” She has also sung with Grammy winner k.d. lang, pianist Kirill Gerstein, punk rocker John Doe, singer-songwriter Rufus Wainwright, and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer George Clinton. In the fall of 2014, Large and her band Le Bonheur released a record designed to capture their sublime and subversive interpretations of the American songbook. Entitled simply “Le Bonheur” and released on Pink Martini’s Heinz Records, the recording is a collection of tortured and titillating love songs. Cole Porter’s “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” and Richard Rodgers’ “The Lady is a Tramp” shimmy up next to Black Sabbath’s “N.I.B.” and Lou Reed’s “Satellite of Love,” each reimagined in sparkling arrangements. Large shifts seamlessly between French and English during Jacques Brel’s famous heartbreaker “Ne me quitte pas” and adds honeyed harmonies while digging into the emotional core of “Unchained Melody,” then unleashes a brassy rendition of Porter’s “It’s All Right With Me.” Two original tunes penned by Large — “A Woman’s Heart” and “Stand up for Me” — suspend her smoky tones in expansive gospel choruses. Highlights of Large’s 2016-17 season include her debuts with the Atlanta, Baltimore and BBC Symphony Orchestras, and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra, as well as return engagements with the National Symphony Orchestra and Detroit Symphony Orchestra.
Lewis and Clark National Historical Park kicks off trail series March 25 Shake off winter, run or walk Fort Clatsop’s trails ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park will host the first of a trail run series on Saturday, March 25, to “bid adieu” to winter at Fort Clatsop and greet the arrival of spring. The Lewis & Clark Trail Series includes several different exhilarating events along trails through forest landscapes, complete with a welcoming and friendly race atmosphere. All three events are open to walkers and runners of all ages and provide the opportunity to experience the northwest coast the way people have for thousands of years — on footpaths. This first event in the Lewis & Clark Trail Series is March 25. Come for either an approximately 5K or a 10K course that features the Kwis Kwis Trail. The 10K run will include some long steep sections. The start/finish line will be at the Fort to Sea Trail trailhead off Fort Clatsop Road. Allow time to park at one of the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center parking lots, register at the visitor center, and then enjoy a 1/2 mile warm-up hike on the Fort to Sea Trail to the start line prior to the 10 a.m. start. Register that morning from 9 to 9:30 a.m. at the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center. The cost to participate is the purchase of a $20 Annual Park Pass that grants entry into all of the 2017 Lewis & Clark Trail Series Events.

What was Washington like during The Great War? Fairy gardens captivate Speaker program commemorates the centennial of World War I PACIFIC and GRAYS HARBOR COUNTY, Wash. — On April 6, 1917, the United States entered World War I — The Great War — to fight alongside its European allies. Washington state’s homefront turmoil, however, began before the country entered the war, and continued afterward. Four Timberland libraries will host the program “Washington at War: The Evergreen State in World War I,” presented by Washington historian Lorraine McConaghy. The talks are presented by Humanities Washington and the Washington State Historical Society in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of America’s involvement in World War I. The schedule is: • 2 to 3 p.m. Thursday, March 23, Ocean Park Timberland Library, 1308 256th Place, Ocean Park, Washington, 360-665-4184. • 5:30 t 6:30 p.m. Friday, March 24, Raymond Timberland Library, 507 Duryea St., Raymond, Washington, 360-942-2408. • 10 to 11 a.m. Saturday,

Historian Lorraine McConaghy will talk about Washington state during World War I and lead a readers’ theater reading.
March 25, South Bend Timberland Library, First Street and Pacific Ave., South Bend, Washington, 360-8755532. • 2 to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 25, Westport Timberland Library, 101 Harms Drive, Westport, Washington, 360-268-0521. McConaghy will begin the program with an illustrated introduction to the war’s themes. Following that, attendees may participate in a scripted readers’ theater designed to portray the turmoil of the
years 1914 to 1919. The readers’ theater script is drawn from first-person sources such as letters, diaries, speeches and newspaper stories. It allows modern readers to speak aloud the words of a past generation and gain an sense of how Washingtonians of that era experienced the great social, economic and political changes of the time: industrialization, immigration, women’s rights, radical labor, epidemic disease, and worldwide turmoil. McConaghy is a public historian whose work has been widely recognized and honored. She received the Washington State Historical Society’s Robert Gray Medal, the annual award of the Pacific Northwest Historians Guild, and the Humanities Washington Award. McConaghy earned her Ph.D. from the University of Washington. At the Museum of History & Industry and Washington State History Museum, her work as
historian and curator has dealt with Washington at war during the Treaty War of 1855-1856, the Civil War, World War I and World War II. She has participated in working groups concerning the opportunities of commemoration and presented lectures and workshops on readers’ theater programs at the National Council on Public History, the American Association for State and Local History, and the Washington Museum Association. In 2009, her readers’ theater script “Speaking Out” won the national performance award from the Oral History Association. In 2015, the American Association for State and Local History honored her “Voices of the Civil War” readers’ theater script with a national award of merit. McConaghy lives in Kirkland, Washington.

Watch ‘Paper Tigers’ with Way to Wellville SEASIDE — Columbia Pacific Coordinated Care Organization and Way to Wellville in Clatsop County are hosting a free community screening of the movie “Paper Tigers.” The screening will be held from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 21 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center, located at 415 First Ave. “Paper Tigers” follows
a year in the life of students at an alternative high school in Walla-Walla, Washington. The film looks at the effects that adverse childhood experiences can produce, and, following a change in the school’s discipline approach, how the school staff were able to step up to help these students become successful. The film is the basis for current work locally
happening for Trauma Informed Practices in health care and schools. After the movie, the audience will have time to have a discussion. For more information, contact Patti Atkins by calling 503-961-2535. SUBMITTED PHOTO

kid, adult imaginations By TRACEE M. HERBAUGH ASSOCIATED PRESS
A set of little wings. Ceramic fountains. Tiny versions of ornate cottages and brick walkways fit for the English countryside. These are just some of the whimsical decorations that adorn fairy gardens. When such miniature decorations are paired with similarly diminutive plants, these gardens — aimed at luring fairies — can captivate the imaginations of children and adults alike. “I think it is in our DNA,” said Brenda Williams, a master gardener at Pesche’s Greenhouse, Floral and Gifts in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. For the last four years, Williams has been teaching classes to 4H students and through the University of Wisconsin’s continuing education program on how to create fairy gardens. We have the itch to garden, she believes, to satisfy a lingering part of our hunter-gatherer past. “That gene is still very present in modern people who no longer need to garden,” Williams said. And designing a little fairy abode turns a garden into “a living artwork,” she said. Fairy gardens’ appeal is similar to that of Japanese bonsai, the ancient practice of grooming small trees inside containers. In 1893, fairy gardens surged in popularity in the U.S. because of the Japanese Pavilion at the Chicago World’s Fair. No two fairy gardens are the same. Some people use creative containers, especially antiques — a wash tub, bird cages or pickle bottles. “I tell people to imagine something in your head and try to recreate it in a pot, or whatever,” Williams said. The gardens can be designed underwater or with
silk plants if the creator is more of a “set and forget” type of plant person. Often, fairy gardens are a creative bridge between adults and children. Jayme Tortorelli Benko, a 37-yearold mom from Denver, saw photos of fairy gardens online and wanted to make one for her young daughter, Alora. In a large pot, Benko put a ceramic flower with a resting fairy (named Nata), some rocks and an assortment of potted plants. Creating the garden was about spending time together, Benko said, adding, “Kids love magic.” Fairy gardens are also part of a larger DIY movement. Victoria Hannley, a 39-year-old mother of three who runs the DIY blog Dazzled While Frazzled, made her first fairy garden with items left over after her daughter’s birthday party and some empty soup cans. “It makes me think back to the days when I had a dollhouse,” Hannley said. “You’re able to take everyday stuff you have and make something with it.” Yet fairy gardens also can take on more solemn meanings. The 15-foot-wide fairy garden on the side of Michelle Peebles’ home commemorates her daughter Amanda, who died at age 12 from complications from a rare form of cancer. Peebles, 46, of Broomfield, Colorado, planted the garden two years ago with Amanda and her other children. “She helped me plant some snapdragons and she used to dig for roly polies (beetles) there,” Peebles said. There are still snapdragons in the spot, as well as a little fairy home and seashell walkway. Amanda’s digging tools are still there. “It’s just a little peaceful place, and it’s incorporated with her little stuff,” Peebles said.

24 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review
Readers write in, and the Mouth responds By MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM
As promised, here is a column of reader responses. I’d love to make this a semi-regular thing, so please, let’s stay in touch. Email me at mouth@ coastweekend.com Letters have been edited for length and clarity — and I haven’t left out disagreements. If you have one, send it in!
Best Breakfast
Dear Mouth: I am always interested in your reviews, and in particular your review of the Readers’ Choice Awards. I am somewhat peeved that the “Big City” dominated the awards, not myself thinking that big equals great. Usually I am in agreement with your comments, or at least willing to be convinced. However I have some things to add to your remarks under the first category, “Best Breakfast.” I am a fan of the Osprey and am glad you mentioned it. Being a Seaside resident I am usually attracted to breakfasting there. If you mention the Osprey, I should think you would mention the other breakfast on Avenue U in Seaside: Seaside Golf. It is at the other end of the avenue and breakfast spectrum, but I think just as good. On the subject of breakfasts, I am from the old school where we went to work at 8 a.m. and had breakfast before that hour. I don’t think any breakfast mentioned opens before 8 a.m. Therefore I am going out on the limb and offering Patty’s Wicker Cafe, off Broadway on a short river walk north on the east bank of the Necanicum, as the break-
fast champ. Patty opens her door, I think, at 6 a.m. Thanking you for your kind attention. Very truly yours, BENJAMIN A. GREAVES Seaside Mouth responds: I am very much a night person, not an early riser. You don’t even want to know what time I like to go to brunch — err, I mean breakfast. Thanks for the tips, though. I’ll have to check out the Seaside Golf Course restaurant, which I believe has undergone some changes in recent months.
Owe you big time
Hi Mouth, I live in Portland but I spend a lot of time in Astoria. I read you as often as I can online. Anyway, I enjoy your work and owe you big time! I had driven by The Kitchen in Seaside and saw her sign scores and scores of times. I was curious but never stopped. I read your review and finally stopped. Jeanne is a real kick. I like chatting her up as she works in her little kitchen. I always order one of everything she has for that day. I have never been disappointed. Anyway, great work Mouth! Find me another Kitchen this year! Haha! As for the best breakfast on the peninsula? 42nd Street Cafe. Oysters, scrambled eggs, potatoes, whole wheat toast and that great jam. Service is excellent. Lots of folks come in for waffles, hangtown fry or the beignets, but I always order the same thing. Why mess with perfect?! GARY QUINN Portland Mouth responds: There really is something
brought me the wrong food I was told that they had run out of lengua so they substituted something else they thought I’d like (without asking me); b) the food is overpriced. The Stand is fabulous! And inexpensive. I’m always looking for the best Chiles Rellenos. So good at The Stand that I can’t seem to order anything else! Battered and prepared the right way con una salsa fantastica y deliciosa. A READER FROM Seaside FILE PHOTO
The Kitchen sits at 1820 S. Roosevelt Drive in Seaside. Area designer and builder David Louis transformed Jeanne O’Donovan’s shed into a fully functioning kitchen.
charming about Jeanne and her small space at The Kitchen. I hope more entrepreneurs and restauranteurs take those kinds of creative chances in the future.
Reviews in Seaside
I think your column is great! Have you ever reviewed the Gray Whale BBQ in Seaside? Also, what about Norma’s? That place is packed, and I never hear about them winning any awards. Thanks, REID JOHNSON Seaside Mouth responds: Noted. Anyone else have places they’d like to see reviewed?
Don’t forget The Stand
Hi Mouth! I agree with your assessment of Carruthers. Great and unique food! Try the octopus appetizer. Top notch service!
The mirrors made my friends and I think of Versailles. The place is noisy — but that’s not bad. Brings the restaurant to the level of cosmopolitan, which is a better description and better category than Fine Dining (in the Readers’ Choice Awards). As for Wanda’s in Nehalem: I can never go past without stopping to purchase her wonderful nut tart. Perfect crust, not too sweet but tasty caramel. I try to arrange driving south to coincide with the hours they’re open. For fish and chips I still enjoy Bowpicker, but several years ago I decided they had increased the sweetness of the fish batter, which I like less. So glad you mentioned Grizzly Tuna! Mexican: You mentioned La Cabana de Raya and Tacos El Catrin. But how could you forget The Stand? I think the food at Raya is good, but the selection is limited when compared to The Stand. My only experience at El Catrin included a) ordering lengua (which I love) and being served something else. When I indicated I thought they’d
Mouth responds: Thanks — lots here. The charge that you were delivered different meat than what you ordered is serious and unacceptable. As for The Stand, I’ve been a time or two, and they’re on my list, but it drives me nuts that they’re only open until 5 p.m., closed weekends and only take cash.
A Seaview favorite
Rereading your replies to the Readers’ Choice Awards, we wish to certainly put in a very good word for 42nd Street Cafe and Bistro. We have enjoyed consistently good breakfasts (also lunch and dinners) here. Our choices run from Pot Roast Hash to Jambalaya Omelette for my husband to Russian Vegetarian Scramble and the house-made Blueberry Waffle for me. We also enjoy the homemade Marionberry Consommé enough that we usually purchase several for gifts or to take back with us to the Black Hills of South Dakota. 42nd Street has been a favorite for us over 16 years. We cannot remember when we have last read a review of this fine restaurant. Hopefully you will change that. However, we
know it is a favorite of ours along with others — locals and visitors. MICHELE and RON KOHN Seaview, Wash./Rapid City, S.D.
Lack of barbecue
Dear Mouth, I would hope by now you have heard about the barbecue place you reviewed Jan. 19 (Mericle’s Epic Eats). If not, may I enlighten you: It’s not there anymore. My wife and I went there this past Saturday, Feb. 12, so looking forward to a great dinner, only to find out from the bartender and a few of the patrons that they picked up and left in the middle of the night the week before! To make a long story short, it would be really great if you let your readers know about this. The barbecue joints in the area are scarcer than hens teeth, and when one pops up it’s a welcome change from our normal fare, which is getting boring. Ilwaco is a little trip from Warrenton, and to go all the way out there and get very disappointed was not fun. A READER FROM Warrenton Mouth responds: That is a bummer — Mericle’s Epic Eats’ tender smoky meats were just delectable. But they may not be gone for good. According to their Facebook page, the Mericles plan to open a food cart on the peninsula soon. Messages were not immediately returned, so that’s all I know at the moment. I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes out, though. Thanks to all who took the time to write in, and to those who just prefer to read. Again, if you’d like to get in touch, email: mouth@coastweekend. com
