Just say ‘boo!’ Oregon Ghost Conference is in town SEASIDE — The Oregon Ghost Conference claims to be the northwest’s largest paranormal convention. The conference descends on Seaside, Friday, April 1, and concludes Sunday, April 3. It features paranormal investigators from across the West Coast. Special events include ghost tours, main stage entertainment, paranormal investigations, classes, live radio shows, social events, and more. Always been curious, but a little afraid? General admission is only $5 and grants access to the vendor area, all the conference speakers and panel presentations all weekend long. The vendor area has more than 40 booths including paranormal investigation groups from across the Northwest. Conference speakers range in topic from the scientiÂżc study of paranormal phenomenon, past lives, living in a haunted house and more. Notable speakers include Jay Verburg from the hit SyFy show “Ghost Mine,â€? animal communicator Karen Anderson, Aaron Collins from the show “Paranormal Crossings,â€? Nicole Strickland from the San Diego Paranormal Research Society and many more.
April Ghouls Bash
Friday evening, attend the April Ghouls Bash at 7:30. Partiers are celebrating the conference’s fifth anniversary and kick-off the new Blues and Boos Tour with Rae Gordon and Ben Rice. Since blues & gospel singer Gordon could remember, she has been able to sense things not everyone can, which has led to some interesting moments in venues after last call. Even with those extra sensory moments, she still fancied herself somewhat of a skeptic, until one night in a haunted tavern when she heard a spirit talking to her on a recording. The Rae Gordon Band brings together award-winning and -nominated musicians and is fronted by the 2014 Muddy Award Winner for Best Female Vocalist from the Cascade Blues Association. Oregon native Rice has been leaving huge impressions on audiences around the Northwest and winning awards for his vocals and guitar playing for the last seven years.

Sunset Beach Weekly Bird Surveys 9-10:30 a.m. Wednesday, April 6
MANZANITA — Submissions open Friday, April 1, for Word & Image, a summer exhibit at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita which will pair artists and writers to create original work, each in response to the other’s. Word & Image will offer up to 12 selected artists and writers a unique creative experience, one that co-organizers Deborah DeWit and Emily Ransdell call “silent collaboration.” Ransdell said that the project began as a spin-off of the Hoffman’s weekly Writer’s Lounge, where writers are invited to
create short pieces in response to various prompts, often resulting in work that surprises the authors themselves. Last summer’s call for submissions was so successful that Ransdell and DeWit will be jurying the entries this year via a blind submission process. The Hoffman’s Word & Image project is open to all artists and writers who live on the North coast or have a strong connection to the area. Submissions will be accepted from through May 1. Selected artists and writers will be paired at a kick-off gathering on June 4,

Writing is exploring
I
The students of Gray School campus deliver a new literary magazine for the community
n the fall of 2014, I met Alexa Knutsen, lead teacher of Astoria High School’s alternative school located in the old Robert Gray School overlooking Youngs Bay. Alexa and I discussed the idea of me visiting her Gray School campus students and teaching a Zeekly non¿ction Zriting Zorkshop to supplement the school’s online English instruction. She wanted additional writing opportunities for her students, particularly if they called for personal exploration and reÀection. Astoria High School Principal Lynn Jackson allocated resources to support my efforts and gave me complete freedom to work with a student population that often suffered signi¿cant imposed and self-imposed barriers to educational success. The workshops were non¿ction and thematic in nature, covering such topics as Faces, Time, Dreams, Paths. The students responded to my face-to-face, interactive approach and produced outstanding, searing and wholly original writing that deeply impressed me. I wanted to hear more of their stories, a lot more, and that surprised me. Here I was, almost a quarter century into my secondary teaching career, having read millions of words of student writing, and I thought I had heard it all from young people. I was wrong. There is always something new to learn from young people — if you listen. My wish to learn more came true for the 2015-16 school year when I assumed all writing instruction duties at Gray. A month into the semester, after reading dozens of essays, memoirs and cultural critiques, I felt these
pieces needed to reach a wider audience than one teacher. Astoria needed to hear them. I thought, why not produce a magazine with the students to get them out? I pitched the idea to Alexa and Rachel Rollins, the school counselor, and they agreed. Principal Jackson approved, and Godfather’s Books and Espresso in Astoria donated the money to print the publication, which we named Alternative Overcast. Having advised publications such as Alternative Overcast, I know some people in the communities they originate from don’t want to hear what youth have to say — whether it be questioning the existence of God, examining the relationship to their hometown, or reÀecting on past transgressions. I guess I’ll never understand this “I don’t want to know” impulse. My response to it has always been the same: “Why? What is there possibly to fear? The more we know about our youth, the better we help them.” Writing is exploring, asking questions, trying to ¿gure things out. In Alternative Overcast, Gray School students are doing exactly that with remarkable candor, originality, humor and a special lens trained on the vastness and minutiae of pop culture. Join them on their journey and support. You won’t be disappointed. The Gray School magazine is free and available at the following locations: Gray School, Godfather’s Books and Espresso, Three Cups Coffee, Street 14 Cafe, Fort George Brewery, Coffee Girl, Downtown Coffee Shop, Astoria Co-op Grocery, Astoria Coffeehouse & Bistro, Seaside Coffee House and Jupiter’s Books.

An excerpt from
‘To Take on The World’ an essay in Alternative Overcast By AHS student ALLISON McMILLAN To tell you about the worst moment in my life, I have to prove the severity of how bad it was by telling you what all didn’t make the cut for the worst. It wasn’t when my mom would leave for months to party with random people on a reservation. It wasn’t when my parents got divorced. It wasn’t when my mom had us pack up everything after she got in a fight with our dad or when she made us leave our pets there.
It wasn’t when we lived in a trailer with little to no insulation during winters where it snowed so much we practically had to dig our way out every morning. It wasn’t when we didn’t have water and had to walk three miles to the closest water pump in the four to six feet of snow. It wasn’t when we had to do that in the scorching summer hoping to God a rattlesnake wouldn’t bite one of us on the way…

SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk, celebrating 12 years in 2016, is all about the arts. Visitors walk about, meet artists, sip wine, enjoy light bites, view artist demonstrations, listen to an artist talk or enjoy live performances in music. The affairs are free and held in galleries, businesses and dining establishments located between Holladay Drive and Broadway in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, April 2. SunRose Gallery 606 Broadway SunRose Gallery opens their art walk season with “Expressions of Spring,” featuring the whimsical mixed-media art of Seaside artist Patty Thurlby and the broken china mosaic art and jewelry of SunRose owner and artist Cathy Tippin. Live jazz music will be provided by Richard T. on guitar and Ray Coffey on sax and flute. Earthcore Apothecary & Wild Commons 609 Broadway Kirsten Webb has opened a wildcrafted herbalism business with community space and a performance venue aspect. Webb grew up in the Seaside area, then left for university and to travel the country before returning. Drawing on backgrounds in wildcrafting, art, performance, theater management and production, design and teaching, Wild Commons’ intention is to empower locals and tourists alike to connect more deeply to the land through local plant remedies and workshops, and to connect to imagination and creativity through curated events, open movement studio time, and other arts-related offerings. Earthcore Apothecary has had an online presence for a few years, but this is the first time it’s been in a physical location. Read more about the vision and apothecary at: earthcoreapothecary.com/wild-commons Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway Fairweather will hold an opening reception for the exhibit “Rain or Shine,”which juxtaposes an array of art, images and voices in a way that resonates with the spring season, reshaping boundaries between the reality and the creative process. Artists Gretha Lindwood and Susan Curington offer a fascinating approach in distinctive pictorial language.
Lindwood, a lifelong resident of the Pacific Northwest, cherishes the landscapes and delights in capturing beauty in oil pastels. By painting in the traditional plein air style and by using an impressionistic touch, Lindwood’s landscapes invite the viewer into the scene. Curington, the third generation to live on her rural wooded land, has known particular trees since childhood. By living in the thick of nature daily, her painting expresses gratitude for the power and beauty of nature. These featured artists will offer a Seaside Painting LIVE episode, starting with a blank canvas at the beginning of the art event and completing a quick finish at the end, offering patrons opportunities to watch two masters create. Seaside nature photographer Neal Maine introduces his March/April natural history journal and will speak at 6 p.m. Patrons can enjoy wine tasting, light bites and live music by Shirley 88 throughout the evening. Beach Books in the Loft Gallery 616 Broadway Beach Books features work from the Green Cab Artist Collective, a working artist group located in the Portland area created with the goal of encouraging and inspiring one another, sharing techniques and info about the business side of art, and sharing work with the public. The Cabbies are a synergistic alliance of artists, working in diverse mediums. Participating artists for April are Jeffery Hall, Annie Brown, Barbara Martin, Elina Zeberg and Jim Zaleski. Hall enjoys using re-purposed materials in his art-making process. Brown paints on wooden panels, letting some of the wood show through. Martin comes from a line of story tellers and herbalists and the product of an internationally nomadic life. Zeberg works in a variety of mediums, including

hat’s your idea of entertainment? If it’s the rollicking, boisterous, even bawdy kind, don’t miss the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association’s sixth-annual Jane Barnes Revue. This year, the event is 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 2, at the Astoria Event Center. Then, barring any diva-driven tantrums or catastrophic wardrobe malfunctions, a bevy of local beauties — 18 in all — will strut their stuff on a catwalk that’s been reworked to afford even more opportunities to see and participate in this delicious topsy-turvy extravaganza! Painted, bewigged and dressed to the proverbial nines, these are the Gentlemen Janes (or GJs), almost all straight guys in drag. Joining them this year, will be ¿ve, cross-dressing women. All are local business owners, town “movers and shakers” or simply good-natured souls willing to engage in somewhat naughty, but harmless hijinks for a good cause. It’s worth making the scene just to watch guys navigate the catwalk in women’s heels! Rumor has it that one year a GJ had a bit too much wine backstage and actually fell off the catwalk onto a table full of women. It’s signi¿cant that the Jane Barnes Revue debuted amid the heightened historical focus of Astoria’s bicentennial year. It too draws from our colorful past, plucking a plucky Jane Barnes from
the pages of Astoria history and dropping her into the middle of a drag show. Not surprisingly, the event has quickly become the ADHDA’s second biggest fundraiser. Last year’s show sold out completely!
THE LIVE AUCTION
ADHDA President Dulcye Taylor will emcee the Revue. With help from Norma Hernandez, she’ll also run the live auction at intermission. “We got some great items donated,” she promises. Know too that it will actually be possible to pay to get someone up on the catwalk. You put up the money and your designee will be hustled backstage, made up, put in a dress and wig and walk the walk. Just ask locals Darren Orange and Buzz Bissinger who “surprise walked,” as it’s known, last year. When it comes to auction item donations, they’ve poured in from local businesses like FinnWare, Holly McHone Jewelers, the Cannery Pier Hotel and others and from area residents. “The community is always very generous,” says Taylor. Also helping are local breweries, distillers, restaurants, beauty salons (including the Malama Day Spa where Riki Fleischman works her cosmetological wizardry doing the GJ’s makeup every year), used-clothing stores like Garbo’s and more. Judging from past auctions, bidders love the experience packages on offer. So, expect some really interesting things to be up for grabs. For the

Tickets are available at Old Town Framing, 1287 Commercial St. in Astoria; call 503-325-5221. Tickets may be available at the door, but there’s a risk the event will sell out again this year.
In terms of the amount of money raised ($15,000 in 2015), it got a real boost when people in the audience spontaneously began stuf¿ng money in GJs’ clothes—up sleeves, down necklines and even slipped into garters — as the stars of the show wowed everyone. One former GJ told this writer that s/he raised close to $1,700 one year. It’s all in fun, of course, and means great things for downtown Astoria. A WIN FOR DOWNTOWN
The small, but effective downtown group consists of a board of directors (11 in all plus one ex of¿cio) one full-time staffer whose salary is supplemented with funds from Americorps’ RARE program and an annual budget of around $140,000. At www.astoriadowntown.com, we learn that the ADHDA has taken on some tall tasks. As a nonpro¿t formed to preserve the unique essence of Astoria’s historic downtown and promote the area’s continued health and viability, community involvement is key, as is ensuring that same is invested in what projects are undertaken in a given year. Just a few of these projects, include: Three annual fundraisers: the Paci¿c North-

west Brew Cup in September the Jane Barnes Revenue, usually in March or April and the newthis-year Shore Style Wedding Faire in January • The ever-popular monthly “Second Saturday Art Walk” • The Fourth of July Walking Parade • Promotional events for the holidays, like “Plaid Friday “and “Skate Into the Holiday Season” at the Astoria Armory as well as downtown lighting that makes Astoria “sparkle” • Hosted a popular series of Downtown Walking Tours, highlighting downtown businesses, building history and revitalization efforts. In 2015, the ADHDA amassed over 2,700 volunteer hours, leveraging its budget in a big way. The group’s creativity and hard work hasn’t hurt either. Peter Gimre, past ADHDA president and board member enthuses, “I’ve been with them forever. (The ADHDA) has never been stronger than it presently is so many people are involved. It seems like nearly every year, they’re getting an award from the state’s Oregon Main Street program.”
James Finley’s article on Barnes for the Oregon Historical Society’s “Oregon Encyclopedia.” “Although mocked over the years, even by historians, for being poorly educated and ill-mannered, Barnes received sympathetic treatment from historian George Quimby, who saw her as a strong woman able to adapt to circumstances in a challenging world dominated by men. ‘In terms of upward mobility within the rigid class structures of early 19th Century England,’ Quimby wrote in a 1980 Paci¿c NW Quarterly article, ‘JB Robson was a tremendous success. For her day, she was certainly a liberated woman — she had the ability to endure and even enjoy what she could not change, and she knew how to use men, the only option open to a woman who seems to have had a zest for life.’” These other dimensions to her character shouldn’t put a damper on Jane Barnes Revue revelries. In fact, it seems even more ¿tting and proper to pay homage to this redoubtable lady. And if in the spirit of fun, this is done in a ribald, less-than-genteel manner, the above-described adventuress turned respectable married lady (and mother of two boys), would probably have laughed uproariously and found it all great fun, had she known. Besides, as Taylor maintains, “it’s all crazy, ridiculous fun”. She remembers when Gimre (of Gimre’s Shoes) came out dressed as Marlene Dietrich and warbled, Happy Birthday Mr. President. “He did a damn good job too,” she laughs. “It’s kind of a shock ’n awe thing. You really don’t get it until you’ve been. Either you’ll keep coming or you’ll say ‘that’s not for me.’”
WHO IS JANE BARNES?
In 1814, Jane Barnes, a former barmaid from Portsmouth, England, and the ¿rst European woman in Oregon, made the fatal mistake of coming to the area with one man — Donald McTavish — and leaving on the ship Columbia with another — Anthony Robson, (the ship’s captain who ended up marrying Jane). In between, there was a lot of tittle-tattle and innuendo that’s come down to us, much of it courtesy of rejected suitors. Jane was notorious — the epitome of fallen womanhood and not very smart to boot. More balanced accounts exist — like in

GEARHART — The next Gearhart Art Walk is from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 2. A Great Gallery 576 Pacific Way Whether poised at a river bend or cruising the coastline, the Great Blue Heron is a majestic sight. The stately heron with its subtle bluegray plumage is one of gallery owner Susan Thomas’s favorite subjects to pastel. “I love the heron’s tucked-in neck, plumage and long trailing legs.” A new series of five of these feathered friends will be underway. In addition there will be beautiful new jewelry by DM Designs, a new display of pottery from Suzy Holland, hand knits from local Gearhart residents and many more creations. Refreshments and of course hand dipped chocolate will be served. Natural Nook 738 Pacific Way The Natural Nook invites everyone to stop in and see the new Metal Art by Marilynn Russell.
It is also the perfect time to check in with our other talented consignment artists and see what they have brought in new this spring.

Further inspiration were his grandparents art collection which included 17th, 18th and 19th century paintings. Wim has been an active member of the art community and has earned respect and admiration as an accomplished artist and art instructor.

Track Meet
Trails End Art Association 656 A St. Versatile artist, Bruce Horne, is the featured artist this month at Trail’s End Art Gallery. Bruce is both artist and teacher at heart, having relished both activities from a young age growing up in Illinois. He earned a bachelors in art education from Western Illinois University. He and his wife, Dorie, have dedicated their lives to bringing art to children and youth. They take great joy in seeing how many of their students have grown into fine artists. Plan to meet and talk with Bruce during the reception at Trail’s End Art Gallery, 656 A Street, from 2 p.m.-5 p.m. as you enjoy his dynamic, colorful art. Bruce enjoys a mixed-media approach. He is especially fascinated by the challenges of painting animals, people, and what he calls, “mindscapes.” With his mindscapes, he takes the viewer on a journey into color, shape and texture as he inspires imagination. His rich background in teaching drawing, painting, printmaking, ceramics, and sculpture results in an amazing variety of images. Trail’s End Art Association is proud to bring this fine art to the North Coast. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

‘Oregon Stories’ jazz and history come to Liberty Theater ASTORIA — The 12-piece Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble announces its most ambitious project ever: a musical triptych that tells the stories of three Oregonians who triumphed over racial and gender discrimination to achieve inspiring, notable success. “Oregon Stories” features original compositions by famed ¿lm composer and guitarist Mark Orton (“Tin Hat,” “Madeline Peyroux”), Darrell Grant, celebrated pianist and music professor at Portland State University, and enseble Executive Director Douglas Detrick, an award-winning composer and trumpeter. KMHD-FM host Jessica Rand produced the audio interviews which comprise the foundation for this musical chronicle of living history. Radio broadcast of a studio recording is scheduled for late 2016, when the “Oregon Stories” album will be released. Live performances are scheduled April 1-8 in the

home from serving in World War II. Told by historian Linda Tamura Portland’s version is Friday, April 8, at The Old Church
where DeNorval Unthank, a Portland African-American physician, became a civil rights leader. Told by his daughter Lesley Unthank.
“The ‘Oregon Stories’ project makes a powerful statement: jazz is an inclusive art form that can tell the stories of many communities, not just of
the elite urban audience often associated with the music,” Detrick said. “The project will allow the PJCE to reach across the conventional boundaries of our ¿eld and participate in one of the most important conversations of our time—equality.” The Oregon Stories project was funded in part by the Fred W. Fields Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, and by the Regional Arts and Culture Council, and is sponsored by the Oregon Historical Society and Oregon Humanities. The Portland Jazz Composers Ensemble is dedicated to the performance of new works by Portland and Oregon-based composers. Its exclusive commitment to new music, its unique instrumentation and its conductorless performances (since 2014) set it apart from traditional big bands and small jazz groups in Oregon. These qualities, combined with the record label and community roundtables, makes it a unique organization.
‘Bad Boys’ to serve up 2016 volleyball tourney Story by EVE MARX For EO Media Group SEASIDE — Deng Thepharat was in Seaside mid-March to introduce himself to members of the Seaside Chamber of Commerce. One of three new directors of the Seaside Beach Volleyball Tournament, he hopes to bring more streamlined play, more teams, more dates and more age groups to the event. Thepharat even told chamber members that new smartphone technology can provide hours of free time for competitors — time that can be spent browsing, dining or shopping in Seaside. “<ou’ll be able to ¿nd out when you play, where you’ll play and against who,” PT Thilavanh, the tournament’s co-director, said. “All this will
be in the palm of your smartphone, your tablet or your laptop. You’ll be able to tell your friends and family when you’re playing so they can cheer you on. .”
Laos to Seaside
Thilavanh and Thepharat have been friends since childhood. They came from the same small village in Laos to the Paci¿c Northwest as child refugees during the war in Vietnam. “Our sponsor was from Seaside, so that’s how we got here,” Thepharat said. “We played volleyball in our village and when we got to Seaside, we played volleyball here.” In partnership with fellow volleyball enthusiast Mike Grif¿n, these three are the new NWAS/Bad Boys Open Vol-
leyball tournament directors for the 35th annual Seaside Chamber Beach Volleyball event Aug. 12-14. NWAS and Bad Boys Open Volleyball are two Portland groups operated by Thepharat, Thilavanh and Grif¿n, active members of the volleyball community and former players at the Seaside tournament. Last year 1,509 teams competed on 134 courts. The Seaside Chamber has hosted the event for three decades.
Funding charities
An all-charity event, funds have been raised to bene¿t the Children’s Cancer Association, Wounded Warrior Project, Big Brothers Big Sisters (Columbia NW) and Doernbecher Children’s Hospital, among other charities.

Deng Thepharat, Mike Griffin and PT Thilavanh.
Thilavanh, an information technology professional at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, said the tournament is an asset to Seaside because it brings people out to enjoy what the community has to offer. “It’s a tradition for many people and a great start of new one, not to mention the
revenues it generates for local businesses,” he said. Thepharat, a professional software developer, said he and his partners put in their bid to direct the tournament because they believed they could improve the game overall. “We’re introducing music and we are addressing our pet peeve that the tournaments be run on time,” Thepharat said. “In some tournaments you don’t play for hours. We’ve also added an extra day and more for juniors.” Grif¿n, founder of Bad Boys Open Volleyball, which got its start in 2000, and a police of¿cer for 20 years in Washington County in Beaverton, said he met Thepharat and Thilavanh when they were practically youngsters and playing in his tournament.
“I’ve been playing the Seaside tournament since 1989 or ’90,” Grif¿n said. “It’s a tradition for a lot of people. PT, Deng and I threw our names in the hat when we found out the chamber was looking for new directors. Nothing against the guys who ran it before — they’re great guys — but we’ve got some new ideas we’d like to see happen.” Grif¿n said he’s really excited to be part of this tournament. “Volleyball is a big part of my life, just as it is PT and Deng’s. I’ve made a ton of friends through the volleyball community. We know it’s a big venture to put on the 35th annual tournament. There will be expectations and we hope we do a good enough job that everybody will be happy. We’re ready for the challenge.”

Empty chairs await a presentation at Powell’s Books in Portland.
A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE
Fishermen in Powell’s On a Thursday night in March, my 52nd birthday, I sat on a bench in the event space of Powell’s City of Books in downtown Portland. A few feet away, a couple hundred empty chairs seemed to stare at me. In 90 minutes, my presentation of my debut novel, “The Great Birthright,” would commence. I wasn’t thinking about the show. Rather, I wondered what 32 of my students from Astoria High School were doing inside
the biggest and best bookstore in the country. They had joined me on the trip from the Oregon Coast, and we rode a magic school bus together. Most had never been inside Powell’s. Many had never bought a book before. Yes, the prospect of 32 teenagers roaming around a four-story bookstore the size of a city block made me slightly nervous. But all you can do as a teacher in these unscripted scenarios is place trust and keep the faith in young people. I’ve never grown as an educator unless I put myself in
these precarious positions, and yes, I’ve sometimes been burned. Nevertheless, when I finally start to feel safe with my teaching, I am done. At the appointed time, 15 minutes before the gig, all 32 students rallied back in the event space. They were eager to show me all the books they’d purchased. Some of them had really loaded up! I did the show, and we walked out into the big city night and boarded the bus. After I made the last head count and all 32 were safely into the fold, I breathed a sigh of relief and then passed out the birthday cupcakes my mom had brought to the event. A cupcake never tasted so good. On the way home, some of the students requested the bus driver leave the lights on. They wanted to read their new books. Mission accomplished. The students didn’t even know they were on one.

Lysichiton americanus American skunk cabbage Story by LYNETTE RAE McADAMS Widespread from northern California all the way to central Alaska, L. americanus thrives in wet, low-lying woodlands and swamps across the 3aci¿c 1orthwest, Elooming profusely (and dramatically), from March through early June. Known commonly as Western skunk caEEage, yellow skunk caEEage, or swamp lantern, this fascinating plant emerges as one of spring¶s ¿rst offerings, rising up from the soggy ground with a luminous yellow spathe (a kind of specialized leaf) wrapped around a Elossom-Eearing central stalk, called a spadix. In the language of science, the plant takes its name from two Greek words, “lysis” and “chiton,” which, in comEination, mean, “loosening tunic” — a perfect description for this well-dressed woodland native. But make no mistake: while its looks are certainly striking, it¶s the skunk caEEage¶s pungent smell that really makes it stand out. Flowering when temperatures are still too cool to support our planet’s more glamorous pollinators — the Eees and EutterÀies — this plant, still governed Ey the need to reproduce, is forced to follow one of nature’s ¿rst rules: Make do with what you have. To that end, it releases a foul-smelling odor that comEines the aromas of skunk spray and rotting meat — essentially the Chanel 1o. of the insect world — attracting carrion Eeetles and scavenging Àies, who move from one stinky spadix to the next, ful¿lling an age-old part-
nership in Eotanical procreation. Beloved Ey Elack Eears Must coming out of hiEernation (or in our area, torpor, which is more like a lazy grogginess), skunk caEEage acts as a natural laxative and helps the Eear get its digestive tract up and running after a long nap. But don’t get any ideas: all parts of the plant carry needle-sharp crystals of calcium oxalate, which, when con-
sumed Ey humans (or most critters, for that matter), pierce the lips, tongue, and throat, causing painful swellings, paralysis, and in extreme cases, death. Of course, there are ways around that. 1ative Americans discovered that the toxic effects were nulli¿ed when the roots of the plant were Eoiled or the leaves dried, and they used skunk caEEage as a starvation food (read: complete last resort) and also medicinally, to treat Eurns and inÀammation. More happily, the large, tough leaves of the plant (which can grow to feet in length), also served to line Easkets and wrap ¿sh for the ¿re, earning the plant its ¿nal common calling: Indian wax paper.

Strain Highlights- Platinum Girl Scout Cookies is an evolution of the infamous OG Kush and Durban Poison hybrid strain, Girl Scout Cookies. Platinum Girl Scout Cookies takes this strain a step further, adding a third, unknown strain to the Durban Poison/OG. Kush cross. A cannabis cup winning hybrid, well renown for it’s potent mood elevation euphoria and the deep relaxation it offers. The strain has a pungent aroma, an interesting blend of early spiciness with hints of sweetness and berry overtones of full flavor. The buds are a vivid sage green color and are heavily coated with crystal trichomes. These generously frosted sage green nuggets also feature dashes of dark purple tinges, making it a truly beautiful strain. Despite the outlandish name, PGSC has a plethora of practical medical applications. The pain relieving effects can be great for dulling migraines and arthritis pain. Both physical and mental problems quickly drift away when medicating with Platinum Girl Scout Cookies. Effects of this strain are balanced between a mind and body full of relaxation and euphoria. Potential exists for heavy sedation and heavy drowsiness, with dosage use over 1/2 gram at a single usage, so be advised to dose in a fashion supplemental to your schedule, body type, and your metabolism rate of processing any herbal or pharmaceutical product. Start slow with a dosage use of a small pearl size and increase gradually to reach the level of desired outcome you seek, your enjoyment will be exponential when proceeding with caution.
