Stunning Rayguns, Robin Bacior to play

ASTORIA — The beautiful, manic, psychedelic soundtracks of the Stunning Rayguns returns to KALA at 8 p.m. Friday, March 4. A $7 cover will be charged at the door, and a full bar will be available. Created with electric guitars, drums and computer noises that collide and careen, Stunning Rayguns’ music forms sonic tapestries in a constant quest for new musical exploration. Band members Raymond Martin and Collin Colebank give listeners solid rock grooves to hold onto while the drums and guitar consciously expand into what can be described, for lack of a better term, as cosmic rock or experimental spy rock. Portland-based singer-songwriter Robin Bacior will open the evening with a new ensemble backing her mellow, neo-classical arrangements. Bacior plays acoustic piano, electric piano and guitar along with cellist Dan Bindschedler. The two started mending in more textured instrumentation, layering dynamic sounds into simple folk structures, which now includes drums and NORD keyboard, to retain the lush but unusual harmonic progressions created by her former duo. Bacior’s songs have received praise from NPR’s “All Songs Considered,” VH1,

THE ROCK AT SILVER POINT

ilver Point marks the south edge of Cannon Beach — or, if you prefer, Tolovana Park. It’s where the houses stop and the trees continue. Along the sloping ridge, perpendicular to the sea, the limbs are windswept, matted back like hair that’s been slept on. Beneath is a garden of craggy boulders, the tip of which is an enormous rock. It juts up like a deck, overhanging the beach between the tide lines. It’s tall — perhaps 20 feet or more. Certainly high enough whereas a fall could mark the end of the line. I came upon the rock shortly after moving to Cannon Beach. Something — perhaps the position of the sun, or that it’s always less crowded — always pulls me south when I walk. Almost as strong is the magnetic desire to climb up. It only takes a second: Scurry over the waist-high wall, and the rest is like a ramp. The only treacherous part is the foot-wide crack, into which slipping would be nasty, full of cuts and scrapes and maybe broken bones. Just being thoughtful, though, is enough to avoid it. Standing on top is striking. It’s much higher than it looks from the ground. A grand perch indeed, the tower between beginning and end of civilization, and a place to survey the tiny bodies buzzing below as they ride by on bikes, explore the adjacent cave,

or run free with their dogs. Sometimes they wave. Sometimes they don’t see you at ¿rst and get startled. Sometimes they miss you altogether. The rock shelf is comfortable. It’s got plenty of space to sit or lay. It’s a place to watch sunsets and get suntans, to sing along to music, or simply just to stop, think, or let it all go. It’s a place to mourn and a place to celebrate, with kisses and picnics and back-rubs. A place to pose while friends take photos from the ground. A place to turn the camera on one’s self. It’s a place to spend the afternoon, or just a momentary shift in perspective — up to the top, a deep breath in, nostrils ¿lling with the coolest, crispest, invigorating sea air. Sometimes, when the winds are gusting,

it can rattle you. The momentary loss of balance, stumbling, careening, peering over the edge. And, there, when the tides come in, looking down at the water swirling below, it feels like the earth is moving beneath you. Dizzying waves of vertigo. I think of it as my rock, but so do my friends and neighbors. We needle each other about whose it is. Sometimes I’ll see someone I know up there and by the look on their face, the ¿xture of their gaze and how far it is out to sea, I’ll know if I should just walk on by and leave them to their contemplation. Other times I’ll join them, just as others have joined me, friends and strangers alike. The rock is, of course, all of ours — as much those who’ve carved their names into the stone as those who’ve never dreamed of climbing up. I was sitting there once, all by myself, and three 20-somethings joined me. They were poking around in the crack and I asked what they were looking for. One told me that some years ago they found a little box in the crevasse. Inside was a guest-book, in which visitors had scrawled little notes. Some of them, I was told, dated back to the 1970s. I joined in the search, but we came up empty handed. I wondered if the story was true. I desperately wanted it to be. If the box and book were ever hidden there, it seemed wholly plausible that it could’ve been washed out by a high tide. Indeed, there were signs of debris in the space; the water had made its way through. This January, the tides were particularly high. Torrential storms raged, even by their own wild standards. Closer to home, driftwood was piling up over the bank that leads down to the beach.

Coastal Life Story by ANDREW TONRY

After the storms mellowed, I wandered again down south. I approached Silver Point, and from a distance, something puzzled me. The boulder gardens were more exposed than usual — deep erosion. But it was more than that. As I got closer, I saw it: The rock had split along the crack, the front half toppled over, like a car on its side. What was one became two, and the distance between them was wide enough to walk through, arms outstretched. What was the top, where the names were carved, is now the front, facing the sea. It is still hulking, the size of a cottage. The slab it broke from remains, however diminished. The high point has become a kind of plank. It is less comfortable, more daunting. And the view, with the broken rock before it, isn’t quite the same. But perhaps the view — and the experience of spending time up on the rock at Silver Point — hasn’t diminished at all. It’s just different. And it’s only through attachment that we feel some sense of loss. The movement, the reshaping of these 10-ton stones is but a minuscule reminder: Nothing lasts forever, and what this wild nature gives us it may just as soon wipe away, in devastating and benevolent fashion. It reminds us too that the only constant is change, and that we have little choice but to embrace it.

It’s a place to watch sunsets and get suntans, to sing along to music, or simply just to stop, think, or let it all go.

The NCRD will hold a reception for the art show “Sacred Mountain: The Spirit of Neahkahnie” March 5.

‘Sacred Mountain’ art show honors Neahkahnie at NCRD NEHALEM — The North County Recreation District will hold an opening reception for the community art show and sale “Sacred Mountain: The Spirit of Neahkahnie” from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 5. Artists in a variety of art mediums will have works for sale at the show, which will hang in the gallery through March. A beacon for canoes, sailors and visitors from all over, Neahkahnie Mountain in Oswald West State Park has inspired local tribes, treasure hunters, mystics and explorers for many centuries. Neahkahnie Mountain is a sacred place to the Clatsop-Nehalem people. It has sustained the Native American tribe: The mountain’s summit served as a beacon to canoe travelers, while the elk and plants of its lower slopes had a long and enduring relationship with Nehalem villagers. This mountain is still hugely important to the Clatsop-Nehalem Confederated Tribes today and is one of the few places where tribal members can still see the land as

their ancestors saw it. “First and foremost, it is a mountain that deserves our ongoing respect, protection, and delicate care,” said the tribe. A portion of the proceeds from sales during this art show will be donated to the Clatsop-Nehalem tribe to support its ongoing efforts to regain federal tribal recognition. Federal recognition of the Clatsop-Nehalem Tribes of Oregon was terminated in 1954 when Congress passed the Western Oregon Indian Termination Act. More than 100 tribes throughout the U.S. lost federal recognition at the time. A resolution to restore federal recognition of the tribe was introduced to the U.S. Congress for the second time in October 2015 by U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Ore. At the reception, meet tribal representatives and learn about their efforts to regain federally recognized status. The art will be for sale through the month in the 1&5' RI¿FH For more information, contact Glenna Gray at glenna@nehalemtel.net

SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk, celebrating 12 years in 2016, is all about the arts. Visitors walk about, meet artists, sip wine or snag appetizers by favorite restaurants, view artist demonstrations, listen to an artist talk or enjoy live performances in music. The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, March 5 at galleries located in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside. 7ZR VLJQL¿FDQW H[KLELWLRQV are featured this month: Beach Books 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. Helvi Smith, founder of the Cabbies, paints every day. Color never scares her. She is a fearless, self-taught painter. Bruce Ulrich believes that all art is an abstraction, and painting is, at its core, colored marks on a flat surface; painting is a way of investigating different styles and uses of abstraction to explore landscapes, objects, colors and textures. Penny Forrest uses art as an invitation to slow down, look around, and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us daily. Jim Zaleski combines the traditional art forms of painting and drawing with the high tech computer world to produce colorful art that is loaded with whimsy. Jeff Hall enjoys using repurposed materials; his surface building explores real and imagined space, while leaving room for the viewer’s own interpretation and experience. Barbara Martin comes from a line of storytellers and herbalists and the product of an internationally nomadic life. Anne E. Brown paints on wooden panels, loving the way the brush and the paint feels when they touch the surface of the

panel. Elina Zebergs’ art is as varied as her interests; she works in a variety of mediums, including acrylics and encaustic. Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway Fairweather celebrates its 10th anniversary with an opening reception for the exhibition “Above and Beyond,” which offers timely and relevant works of art about the spring season. Regional artists in the show were selected to acknowledge the coastal flyway habitats and to awaken visitors’ senses to nature from the ground up. Light refreshments, wine tasting and live music by Shirley 88 will be offered. Cannon Beach resident Britney Drumheller offers art that relates to the value people attach to the coastal tidelands and marine life. Art by Kathryn Delaney includes many diverse aspects of life, challenging a viewer’s horizons and viewpoint of the world. Delaney explores the art of

birds and mixed-media inspired by the passing of the winter solstice. Rosemary Klein works in the realm of visionary truths.

Read and sing aloud with your family Timberland Regional Library offers early learning program PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — Nestled comfortably between two literary birthdays — Dr. Seuss’s on March 2 and Beverly Cleary’s on April 12 — Timberland Regional Library’s Family Read & Sing Aloud returns with a robust line-up of programs. The program focuses on children from infancy to grade 3, but everyone is welcome to join in the fun. This TRL tradition grew out of the proven connection between learning pro¿ciency and the early childhood experience of having been read to and having sung songs aloud with others. Beginning March 2, families, teachers and child-care providers can pick up program materials at any Timberland library, enter a drawing for prizes and start reading and singing together, anywhere and everywhere. Each library will draw a winner for a backpack ¿lled with books chosen especially for the winning family or classroom. An activity that began last year and will continue this year is “Sing to your Librarian Week,” where children are invited to sing a nursery rhyme, short song or the ABC song to a librarian at their library anytime during the week of March 21 to 26 to receive a small prize. Year after year, Timberland families attest to the bene¿ts “My ¿rst born was able to read before kindergarten, and is an excellent reader now!” • “It has made my son want to learn to read.” • “The kids are becoming

Local calligraphers show work at Seaside library SEASIDE — The Seaside Public Library presents an exhibition of calligraphy by local calligraphers Kay Aya, Bev Gilbertson, Rebecca Read and John Rippey. The show will be in the community room and foyer and hangs from March 8

through April 26. The simple de¿nition of calligraphy comes from the Greek “calli,” beautiful, and “graphien,” writing. Calligraphy is an art that has roots in all cultures and usually refers to beautifully formed words,

written directly with a pen or brush. Chinese, Japanese and Arabic penmanship have centuries of calligraphic history as strong as the Western tradition of letter arts. Monumental Roman capitals and Renaissance

italics stand as foundations in the evolution of Western handwritten scripts and lettering. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more information, call 503-738-6742 or visit seasidelibrary.org

The Coaster Theatre’s new musical ‘The Apple Tree’ challenges a small cast but promises fun for audience

Story by NANCY McCARTHY

hose attending “The Apple Tree” at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse may think they are about to see one play in three acts. Actually, though, they will see three plays in one night. Opening March 4, “The Apple Tree” runs through April 16. Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinees on March 20 and April 3 begin at 3 p.m. “The Apple Tree” is a trio of mini musicals about love, secrets and choices ranging from the beginning of time with Adam and Eve, through the Middle Ages and ending in a 1960s New York fantasy. Taken from Mark Twain’s “Extracts From Adam’s 'iary,” the ¿rst act, “The Diary of Adam and Eve,” reveals heretofore unknown details about the world’s ¿rst couple: their meeting, courtship, their children and, oh yeah, how the whole bite-of-the apple drama came about. “It’s very much a ‘Women are from Venus and Men are from Mars’ thing before the book was written,” said Patrick Lathrop, who directs the play. Lathrop also is the Coaster Theatre’s executive director. “The Lady Or the Tiger,” originally taken from a story by Frank R. Stockton, is a rock ‘n’ roll study of jealousy and revenge set in a mythical barbarian kingdom, where a choice could mean life or death. Just what — or who — is behind door No. 1 and door No. 2? This act is a favorite for actor Jean Rice “because it has a tiger in it.” Not only is Rice fond of tigers, she gets to play the tiger. “Passionella,” is based on Jules Feiffer’s Cinderella-story about a chimney sweep who dreams of being a glamorous movie star and nearly ruins her chance to ¿nd true love. “Elvis Presley” makes a brief appearance, complete with guitar.

“It’s a girl’s fantasy come to life,” said Aaron Harris, who plays the “Elvis” character, known in the play as “Flip.” “The Apple Tree” was written by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Brock, who also wrote the Broadway favorites “Fiddler on the Roof” and “She Loves Me.” The challenge for the cast’s 10 members is to take on different roles in each of the plays. Lisa Fergus plays the leads — Eve, Princess Barbara and Ella — in all three acts. How does she switch personalities — and musical styles — so quickly? It’s not easy, she admitted. “I’m working on it,” said Fergus during a rehearsal. She also must play different ages, as she goes from being a “newborn” to an elderly woman in “The Diary of Adam and Eve.” “A lot of it is the costumes,” created by Judith Light, Fergus said. With each — and sometimes very quick costume change — comes a change in personality. Timothy Garvin is another actor who must switch gears from being Adam (Eve’s love interest) in the ¿rst act, a king and father to Fergus’s Barbara in the second act, and a member of the ensemble in the third act. Along with personality switches and costume changes, each of the three acts produces different emotions, Garvin noted. “In ‘Adam and Eve,’ there is laughter and silliness. In ‘Lady or the Tiger?,’ there is deception and some sadness, and ‘Passionella’ has an upbeat, fairytale feel,” he said. With a variety of musical styles to master, the small ensemble is being led by music director Mont Chris Hubbard, of Portland. Hubbard has extensive experience writing and directing musical scores and is the creator of a Portland musical variety show as well as three CDs. This is the Coaster’s ¿rst spring musical. Although the theater usually produces a

musical during the holidays, this year, the holiday play will be the popular “It’s a Wonderful Life,” a nonmusical. Rice, who is a member of the Coaster’s programming committee, said the committee read the script and listened to the music and liked it. Among the deciding factors was the ability to produce “The Apple Tree” with “three or 25 characters,” depending on how many community actors auditioned for it, Rice said. “That was a major plus.” The cast — all volunteers — includes: Lisa Fergus: With 30 years experience on the stage, Fergus has played Cinderella in “Into The Woods,” Ruby in “Dames at Sea” and Sister Mary Leo in “Nunsense.” She has also cho-

reographed several productions, including “Beauty and the Beast,” which she also directed. Timothy Garvin: Garvin’s ¿rst appearance on the Coaster stage was as Sir Harry in last year’s “Once Upon a Mattress.” A Manzanita resident, Garvin has been involved with the Riverbend Players in Nehalem. Emily Estrada: A recent graduate of the University of Oregon’s theater arts program, Estrada served as stage manager for two shows at the Coaster. In “The Apple Tree”, she plays a snake because what would Adam and Eve do without a snake? She also tells the story of “The Lady or the Tiger” as a balladeer, and she is in the ensemble.

In addition to playing Flip, Aaron also is Sanjar, the young captain who must make a choice in “The Lady or the Tiger.” Jessica sings and dances as part of the ensemble. Ellen Jensen: This is Jensen’s 13th play. She also has appeared in “Annie Get Your Gun,” “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown” and “Into the Woods,” among others. Jensen plays the narrator in “Passionella” and is in the ensemble. Jean Rice, Katherine Lacaze, Dick and Kris Frank: In addition to playing the tiger in “The Lady and the Tiger,” Rice also is in the ensemble, as well as Lacaze. Lacaze has volunteered as stage manager and performed in two plays, including the recently staged “Dead Guilty.” Dick and Kris Frank, who are in the ensemble, have also played roles in several Coaster productions, including “My Fair Lady,” “Scrooge” and “White Christmas.”

A Mighty Thai A Bringing new regional flavors to Manzanita

Among chattering friends, no new restaurant has been met with the bubbling anticipation as A Mighty Thai, which opened its doors at the end of January. Any mention that I was going down to the Manzanita eatery elicited multiple guests. I reckon the excitement can be chalked up to simple supply and demand: A Mighty Thai brings to the market the only Thai restaurant south of Warrenton. Furthermore, it assumes particular distinction in being essentially the only place in either Manzanita or Cannon Beach whose cuisine comes from outside Europe and the Americas. Nestled in Terra Cotta’s former home, right as U.S. Highway 101 curves around Manzanita, the location has strong takeout potential. But when it got busy, as I witnessed one Friday night, the overwhelmed kitchen had to stop taking to-go orders and focus on the wait-listed dining room. A converted house that’s split with Sisters and Pete’s Coffee, Mighty Thai is cozy. Parties bigger than four or ¿ve might want to call ahead. Briskly decorated, there’s a small bar and a tight, lively ambiance. Along with Thai beers, there are a few special cocktails, like a Mai Thai and a Tomatillo Margarita that, with celery salt and garlic, offered the twang of a salsa verde. On the un-spirited front, the orange Thai Iced Tea was bold and not overly sweet. Before I dive into the food, I want to take a minute to talk about the menu, which Mighty Thai gets right. My last two reviews — of Mexican and Chinese restaurants — featured voluminous, multi-page tomes, each with well over 100 items. Mighty Thai simpli¿es, listing the dishes with a choice of meat, rather than in duplicate. It’s not rocket science, people! Mighty Thai separates by category: starters, soups, curries, noodles, street food, seafood, fried rice and “chef’s choice.” As I dined with so many companions, I tasted a lot. And while nothing fell completely Àat, relatively few emerged head-and-shoulders above the rest. There were no showstoppers. One thing everyone agreed on, however, was the Chicken Satay appetizer ($8.95). The four skewers, about the size of thick business cards, had a nice char and stayed juicy. But the peanut sauce was their raison d’etre. Chunky, sweet and oily, there was plenty of it, enough to use throughout the meal. (There could be some more chicken though...) The Salad Rolls ($7.95 for two) were a more tenuous value, and the portion I ate contained no shrimp. 14 | March 3, 2016 | coastweekend.com

As soon as I saw the curries, I knew what I was having. It’s one of the Àavors I ¿nd most lacking on the coast, and I was overjoyed when the Yellow Curry ($12.95) hit its mark. The soft, thin coconut-y broth had chunks of red potatoes, onions and artfully chopped carrots. The chicken, which, again, there could’ve been more of, was very lightly cooked. Adding the white rice made the plate substantial. Without it, it wasn’t. The same went for the Asian BBQ Baby Pork Ribs ($21.95). Cooked over an open Àame like the chicken satays, the ribs too had an exquisite char. “Tim’s secret Asian sauce” was minimalist at best. Besides a hint of sweetness, these were quite clean ribs. The pork mostly spoke for itself and thankfully wasn’t overcooked. The salad’s long, thin shreds of the bright, acidic papaya dovetailed with the fatty, succulent ribs. Along for the ride was a packet of sticky rice. While wholly enjoyable, it wasn’t cheap. A stout, hungry diner could easily devour this Àagship dish and be left wanting. Served in an elevated, Àaming metal ves-

sel, the Tom Yum Soup is offered in two varieties: with choice of land dwelling meats/tofu ($11.95), or as the “Paci¿c,” which features a seafood melange ($18.95). With prawns, calamari and scallops, the seafood varietal is top dog. Full of Thai ginger (AKA “galangal”), the soup is bright and fresh like springtime. The Pho ($11.95) had a sweet, orange, demilike glaze. It too could’ve used a bit more meat alongside the rice noodles, which might’ve been achieved by ordering the “super” option for two dollars more. The Crab Fried Rice, however, offered an abundance of sweet, soft,

Dungeness crab meat. The Larb ($11.95), a traditional dish of ground meat with lettuce, shallots, green and red onions, cilantro, mint leaves and toasted rice is served cold, which can be a shocker for the unexpecting. The Thai Shrimp Ceviche ($14.95) resembled salad more than ceviche. The Som Tum ($11.95) is a bright, lean and crisp papaya salad that would be an ideal side-dish offering. Almost all the dishes on the menu are available on a ¿ve-star heat scale. One friend opted for a four; it was certainly commiserate — for experienced spice-lovers only. However, throughout the dishes I sampled, a three-star order varied from medium to nonexistent. Part of this is due, no doubt, to a newborn restaurant ¿nding its way. The chefs, of Thai heritage, certainly know the foundations of these Àavors. And indeed, with the peanuts and papaya, and the citrus against the savory, Mighty Thai offers tastes from outside the North Coast bubble. As such, it is desperately necessary. But these are ¿rst-time restauranteurs with numerous kinks and inef¿ciencies to be ironed out, both in the front and back of the house. And to be fair, that’s partly because of the stress that Mighty Thai has been put under since the moment it opened. Despite launching in the coldest, dreariest part of the tourist offseason, locals have packed the place. That’s because they — like me — so welcome the prospect of new regional Àavors on the North Coast.

Comedic musical revue asks ‘Ain’t Retirement Grand?’ Peninsula Players to present light-hearted show set in a senior center ILWACO, Wash. — For those who are retired or are looking forward to the those “care free days” in the next 40 years, the Peninsula Players are presenting a comedic musical revue entitled “Ain’t Retirement Grand?” The light-hearted musical examines some of the joys and pitfalls of retirement. It may cause some to wonder whether retirement is as grand as they once thought. The audience will be entertained with such songs such as “Older Lovers,” “Early Bird Special” and “Wrinkles,” There will be “old people dancing” in some of the more upbeat numbers with choreography by Rita Smith. The cast consists of eight of the Peninsula Players’ more accomplished singers and actors. Many have appeared in past musicals for the theater group. Smith is directing the

production. Smith has directed several musicals for the players, including “Camelot,” Give My Regards to Broadway” and last year’s “Little Shop Of Horrors.” She is also an accomplished actress and has appeared in several plays on the Long Beach Peninsula. The musical director is Barbara Bate, who is well known for her talent as a pianist and all around musician. Not only does she accompany the singers, but she teaches the music to the singers as well. Many hours are spent not only memorizing the lyrics, but learning the notes. Bate has worked with Smith in all of her musicals; it is a partnership that has brought results. The “goings on” take place in a senior center. The usual problems of those “Golden Years” come to the surface at the center. Solutions are as hard to come by as trying

Bradford Loomis and Beth Whitney will perform March 5 in Long Beach, Washington.

Beth Whitney, Bradford Loomis play in Long Beach LONG BEACH, Wash. — When artists Beth Whitney and Bradford Loomis began writing together they had no idea their casual co-writing experiment would blossom into the award winning, critically acclaimed album “The Banner Days.” That ¿rst night, they wrote “My Beloved” in two hours. The Peninsula Arts Center welcomes singer-songwriters Beth Whitney and Bradford Loomis together on stage at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 5. Tickets are $12, and doors open at 6:30 p.m. From the ¿rst time Whitney and Bradford played together, along with Whitney’s husband and collaborator Aaron Fishburn, the chemistry has been powerful. The combination of Whitney’s delicate, pure and melodious voice and Loomis’ soulful, growling tone makes for a beautifully heart

wrenching harmonious blend. Their dramatic crescendos and minimalist intensity through intricate harmonies have elicited comparisons to The Civil Wars, the Swell Season, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ “Raising Sand.” With equal parts sweetly anthemic pop-tinged folk provided by Whitney’s and Loomis’ gritty, passionate Americana roots sound, “The Banner Days” is an intrepid step for both artists that has garnered them awards. The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 N. Paci¿c Ave. Admission is $12 at the door, online through Brown Paper Tickets, or call Bill at 360-901-0962. Wine, beer, and other refreshments are available for purchase. Concerts bene¿t the Long Beach Peninsula Acoustic Music Foundation, a nonpro¿t organization.

Ales & Ideas delves into Astoria Public Library to screen ‘Girl Model’ Marty O’Reilly nurse training March 3 POV documentary film goes inside global modeling industry and the Old Soul ASTORIA — At the next Ales & Ideas community lecture, Clatsop Community College Nursing Instructor Carolyn Cazee will present “Suspending Reality: Using Simulation to Prepare Nursing Students for Practice.” The multimedia lecture, sponsored by CCC and the Fort George %rewery, will start at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 3 at the brewery’s Lovell Showroom, located at 426 14th St. Minors are welcome. At this presentation, Cazee will discuss the history of health care simulation, key principles of simulation, and describe how simulation is being used at Clatsop Community College to prepare nursing students for practice. Simulation-based learning activities provide a bridge between classroom learning and real-life clinical experience. At a basic level, students may practice techniques for injections by working with an orange, needle and syringe. More complex simulation exercises rely on dramatized scenarios and/or computerized mannequins that perform multiple human functions in ¿ctionalized yet realistic health care

ASTORIA — The Astoria Public Library invites the public to attend a screening and discussion of “Girl Model,” a documentary that strips away the façade of the modeling industry by following two people whose lives intersect. The Tuesday, March 8 screening begins at 6 p.m. at the library, located at 450 10th St. Admission is free. The event is a collaboration with POV, the award-winning independent non¿ction ¿lm series by P%S. In “Girl Model,” Ashley Arbaugh is a deeply conÀicted American model scout, and 13-year-old Nadya Vall, plucked from a remote Siberian village and promised a lucrative career in Japan, is her latest discovery. As the young girl searches for glamour and an escape from poverty, she confronts the harsh realities of a culture that worships youth — and an industry that makes perpetual childhood a globally traded commodity. Through Arbaugh and Vall’s intertwined stories, “Girl Model” takes a rare inside look at the insatiable global market for fashion-driven images of youth, and the legal yet poorly regulated industry that makes untold wealth from meeting that demand. “Girl Model” puts the lie to the glamorous portrayal of modeling provided by reality television programs and the glitzy images on the covers of

high-fashion magazines. “Our intended audience is younger girls, people interested in modeling,” say ¿lmmakers A. Sabin and David Redmon. “‘Girl Model’ shows what’s usually cut out of those reality shows.” “We wanted to show that when 12- to 15-year-old girls are placed inside a marketplace that treats them as disposable goods, there’s in¿nite potential for the situation to go awry,” says Redmon. “We were producing the ¿lm in a constant gray area.” Redmon and Sabin have produced, directed, edited and photographed seven feature documentaries: “Mardi Gras: Made in China” (2005), “Kamp Katrina” (2007), “Intimidad”

(2008), “Invisible Girlfriend” (2009), “Girl Model” (2011), “Downeast” (2012) and “Kingdom of Animal” (2012). Their intimate and intricately crafted documentaries have won a variety of ¿lm festival awards, and their work has aired on television stations throughout the world. “Girl Model” is a production of Carnivalesque Films, Inc. in association with American Documentary POV, television’s longest-running showcase for independent non¿ction ¿lms. POV premieres 14 to 16 bold programs every year on P%S. POV ¿lms are known for their intimacy, storytelling and timeliness, putting a human face on contemporary social issues.

carcinus magister, a large, delicious, edible crab that lives in the eelgrass beds off the West Coast of the United States between the Gulf of Alaska and central California. Dungeness is the only crab commercially harvested from the waters off Washington and Oregon’s coastline. In 2009, the Dungeness crab was designated the state crustacean of Oregon

Origin: The word originally comes from the Old Norse, meaning “headland,” and was applied to the coastal area in Southern England. The crustacean, which is also known as a market crab, takes its name from the fishing village in Washington State, where it was first commercially harvested throughout the late 19th century. The first known use of the word as applied to the shellfish was recorded in 1925.

“After getting the all-clear from

state health departments, Oregon and Washington’s commercial Dungeness crab fishermen finally hit the water Monday after being delayed for weeks due to elevated levels of the marine toxin domoic acid.” —Katie Wilson, “Crab kicks into gear with healthy start,” The Daily Astorian, Jan. 6, 2016

“When Dungeness crabs tested positive for domoic acid in the early 1990s, 2003 and 2004, the crab industry kept on harvesting. Razor clams and mussels keep the poison in their meat, so they were unsafe to eat, but crab fishers simply killed the crabs, ditched the butter and sold the meat. “This year was different because of Asia’s newfound appetite for the crabs. For the past eight years, Chinese crab buyers have paid high-dollar prices for live crabs to export to Asia. According to Corbin, about 40 percent of Oregon’s crabs have been sent to China alive in the last few years.” —The Associated Press, “Crabs safe after toxin scare, but prices plummet,” The Daily Astorian, Jan. 19, 2016

“Five pairs of legs keep the Dungeness moving swiftly through the eelgrass beds and sandy ocean bottoms that are its home, and it can be found from the shallows of the inter-tidal zone all the way to depths of about 800 feet.” —Lynette Rae McAdams, “Wilde Side: The Dungeness crab,” Coast Weekend, April 23, 2015

BOOKSHELF By RYAN HUME Just finished:

“We the Animals: a Novel” by Justin Torres Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011

Plot Notes: Three feral, mixed-race brothers grow up in a rural part of upstate New York. Equally torn between caring for their exhausted and underappreciated mother and acquiring admiration from their strong-willed and macho father, this slim novel is a struggle for the brothers’ identity both collectively and alone through a number of tense, funny and fresh vignettes that can range anywhere from exploring their neighborhood and getting into trouble to accompanying their dad to his job as a night watchman. Ultimately, the novel becomes less about the brothers and more about the narrator’s struggle with his sexual identity.

Take Away: In Torres’ hands the most familiar of emotions and even the most inane of events can feel as it has been rendered anew and jolted full of electricity. In one of my personal favorites, called “Never-Never Time,” first published in Tin House, the simple act of three kids smashing fruits and vegetables in their kitchen a la Gallagher becomes a lesson in birth, rebirth and regret. Torres’ voice is funny, quirky and full of wild life. As the boys age and begin to gather their own identities, some readers may be put off as the rest of the family falls by the wayside and the narrator begins to explore his sexuality, but even this seemed to be a fundamental truth that Torres had tapped into: When we are young we are saturated and surrounded by our families, but as we age we may only remain in each other’s orbits. We can grow to become things that even our parents and brothers do not understand. Recommended For: Fans of Dorothy Allison’s “Bastard Out of Carolina,” fans of contemporary literature and minimalism, like Denis Johnson, Aimee Bender, and others. Also, a good allaround introduction to contemporary literature for young adults, perhaps especially those interested in LBGT coming-of-age stories. Other books:

“A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman, translated by Henning Koch Washington Square Press, 2015

The Sativas from Typhoon Yolonda are fantastic

Visit u sin RAY M O N D,W A.

Plot Notes: This visceral, historical tale follows two mothers and their teenaged daughters — one black family, one white — through the devastation of New Orleans in Hurricane Katrina. Why You Should Read: Urbani, who now lives in Portland, was a recent guest for Lunch in the Loft at Beach Books, where she read from her acclaimed debut novel, which Emmerling described as one of her favorites of 2015. Emmerling says that Urbani really captures the chaos of the horrible tragedy of Hurricane Katrina and brings it to life.

Recommended By: Karen Emmerling of Beach Books in Seaside.

Recommended By: Karla Nelson of Time Enough Books in Ilwaco, Washington. A Bestseller: Nelson has watched this charming, irreverent tale by first-time Swedish author and blogger Backman steadily climb the New York Times Bestseller List ever since she was hand-selling it at Time Enough last summer. Plot Notes: Ove is an old grump set into conflict with a young family when, on the first day they move into the house next door, they accidentally flatten his mailbox. What “A Man Called Ove” reminds us of is there might be more going on under the crusty exterior of an old curmudgeon than we initially realize.

Chocolate Kush - By Green Freedom / Sweet-As

SEA LEVEL - By Typhoon Yolonda

Strain H ighlights- Chocolate Kush is a powerful indica strain that captures the best of its two parent strains:

Strain H ighlights- Sea Level is an indica with a mysterious background. With seeds that originate from British Columbia, this large golden plant

Strain-Indica

Mazar, with its resin-oozing buds, lends its potent full-body euphoria, while its other pure Indica parent passes on a pungent aroma of hashy incense. This combines to create a strain with a strong chocolate aroma with hints of vanilla and a sweet, earthy Skunk flavor. It’s a good option for anxiety, pain, nausea, sleeplessness, and lack of appetite. The mostly physical body effects are relaxation, with a shot of euphoria, happiness, mental relief, and creativity. This is a great strain for those sleepless nights. Be aware, the sativa-dominant “Chocolope Kush” sometimes goes by the name Chocolate Kush, do not be confused, so be sure to confirm which strain’s genetics you are about to purchase with your BudTender. If you’re looking for the heavy-handed Indica, to bring insomnia to it’s knees, ask for the real “Indica - Chocolate Kush Phenotype”.

produces pink hairs, and extremely sticky, stinky thick buds. The resulting buds/flowers are very resinous with a strong, fruity terpene profile, and strong potency. Not often found in the US, a true Northwest plant, Sea Level provides many benefits. This Strain is favored by Fisherman, Crabbers, and Artists desiring a little stronger full body effect that a Sativa can’t provide. What is a True non-hybrid Indica – Buds have Broad leaves, flavors are sweet, Total Cannabinoids THC % range from 16% to 18%, offer overall relaxing and pain relieving effects to your muscles, spasms, inflammation, anxiety, stress, nausea, headaches, migraines, and inter-ocular pressure. Accomplish those tedious tasks with ease. Effects can be sedating and relaxing at the same time, but all depends on the individuals metabolism, and chemistry. Not all Indica Strains/Phenotypes are the same nor do they all cause couch lock or sleepiness in an individual, all depends on strength of the total Cannabinoids, and strength of THC-A present, which is the positive psychological/Euphoria effect of the Cannabinoids present in the plant/buds. The amount you consume in any time period will affect your experience either with physical relief, or a combination of physical relief and sedation, the option is yours to choose.

Playing safe at the beach Be beach smart. Even though the beach is fun, you need to play safe. The Oregon Coast is a great place to visit. Whether you are looking for seashells, building sand castles or exploring tide pools, the beach can be a lot of fun. Remember, the ocean has dangerous waves, logs, rocks and cliffs. Talk to your family and friends about how to play safe on the beach.

Beware of rip currents. Rip currents are strong currents of water that rush out to sea. They can form on any beach that has breaking waves. If you look closely, you can see a rip current. It will have dark muddy water and be very choppy. You might see foam and other debris floating out to sea. If you see a rip current, stay away! They are very dangerous. If you are ever caught in a rip current, don’t panic. Try to relax and swim parallel to the beach. Don’t try to fight the current. If you have trouble swimming, tread water and call for help. Parents: Be sure always to watch your children closely when they are playing in and around water.

Don’t climb on drift logs. Logs on wet sand or in the water are especially dangerous. The ocean is strong enough to pick up even the biggest log and drop it on top of you. If you see a log on wet sand, stay off of it.

Be aware of incoming tides. Tide pools can be so interesting that you might lose track of time. Make sure you know when the tide is coming in so that you don’t get stranded. Free tide tables, available at state park offices, information centers and many shops and motels, list the times of high and low tides.

Be careful on cliffs and rocks. Ocean spray and heavy rains can make rocks and trails slippery and unsafe. Stay on marked trails and behind all fences. They are there for your safety. When hiking, make sure you wear the right type of shoes. Stay away from cliff edges. Don’t stand under overhanging cliffs, which can be dangerous.

Beware of sneaker waves. Watch out for “sneaker waves.” These are waves that appear suddenly and are unusually large. They rush up on the shore with enough force to knock you down and drag you out to sea. Keep your eyes on the ocean.

Understand tsunamis. There are two types of tsunami warnings that you need to be aware of: a distant event and a local event. With a distant event, you will be alerted by sirens located throughout the city. Proceed by foot and follow the posted evacuation route signs to higher ground. With a local event, you will feel a powerful earthquake. Take immediate cover until the earthquake subsides, then go immediately to higher ground on foot, following the posted evacuation routes.
