This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a cartoon version of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snow White.â&#x20AC;?

The Dwarfs in the Astoria School of Balletâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rehearsal of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snow Whiteâ&#x20AC;? look on as the Huntsman (Joe Justice) finds Snow White (Paige Forrest) ĂžĂ&#x201E;ĂşdeadĂžĂ&#x201E;Ăš in the forest.

Educator, artist, author and forager Dorota Haber-Lehigh will present â&#x20AC;&#x153;Native Plants: Art, Aecdotes and Advocacy.â&#x20AC;?
ASTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Author and artist Dorota Haber-Lehigh will give a presentation entitled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Native Plants: Art, Anecdotes & Advocacyâ&#x20AC;? at 1 p.m. Sunday, May 18 at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop. This free presentation is the next In Their Footsteps free guest speaker program. Haber-Lehigh will include a free botanical drawing mini-workshop after her talk.
Haber-Lehigh is an educator, artist, author and forager living in Seaside. In 2013 she published a coloring and reading book titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;ABC of Native Plants of the Coastal Pacific Northwest.â&#x20AC;? The book is for artists young and old. Her passion in foraging began as a child in Poland, and today she forages locally for mushrooms and berries. The book covers
native flowers, marine plants and trees. Her goal is to raise awareness of the diversity of native plants and the need for preservation. Many of the plant descriptions in her book include information about how Native Americans used the plants. She will sign copies of her book, available for purchase in the Fort Clatsop Visitor Centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bookstore, between and after the lec-
ture and workshop. To see sample pages of her book, go to www.dorotahaberlehigh. com and click on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coloring Bookâ&#x20AC;? tab. This third Sunday forum is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association and the park. These free programs are held in the Netul River Room of the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center. Haber-Lehighâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presentation wraps up the current series. The next season of In Their Footsteps will begin Sept. 21. The Fort Clatsop Visitor

For this program, Maine takes a cue from Frederick Frank, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Zen of Seeing,â&#x20AC;? who writes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know the labels on all the bottles, but never taste the wine.â&#x20AC;? In an effort to â&#x20AC;&#x153;de-labelizeâ&#x20AC;? the forest, Maine will show how to move from merely looking at nature to seeing it, the whole as well as the parts. He will talk about how the process of seeing provides context of habitat, and that the overall experience of looking
at nature adds capacity to the potential for us to expand our quality of life where we live. While his photography illuminates the bigger story that nature tells, Maine says photography is only one way to share with others how we see nature. He says that anyone can give structure or shape to the seeing process so as to share with others â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whether that be in stories or poems, in painting, in photography, in dance or in any art form.

The Columbia-Pacific is a veritable wonderland of outdoor recreation possibilities, most of which never cost a cent to use. Here are just a few of my favorites, but remember: There are literally hundreds to choose from in the area. Short Sand Beach in Oswald West State Park This secluded beach is just off Highway 101 south of Arch Cape and north of Manzanita. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wonderful place to watch surfing and play in the woods, too. The short hike to the beach features some of the most spectacular old trees on the Oregon Coast. Warrenton trails Warrenton boasts three wonderful trails, each alongside a different body of water, that I visit regularly with my dog. For more information check out www.warrentontrails.org Fort Stevens State Park This sprawling state park in Hammond offers multiple outdoor opportunities for hiking, biking, driftwood fort building, fishing, beachcombing and birding. Chinook Park This day-use county park, right off U.S. Highway 101 in Chinook, Washington, is a wonderful and quiet place to watch the world go by on the Columbia River. The park features a fascinating collection of driftwood and picnic tables with superb views of the river. Youngs River Falls This scenic 65-foot waterfall 10 miles south of Astoria off Youngs River Road is exciting to visit after heavy rains or on a hot day when people cool off in the swimming hole. Shively Park One of the more mysterious city parks Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever visited and a great place to play hide and seek with your children and dogs. The park is located near Astoria Reservoir No. 2 just off Williamsport Road. May 15, 2014 | coastweekend.com | 13

Singer-songwriters Webb, Bonoff to perform at Liberty Theater
ASTORIA — The Liberty Theater presents singers Jimmy Webb and Karla Bonoff in concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, May 17. Tickets cost $15, 25 or $30 and are on sale at the LiberW\ 7KHDWHU ER[ RI¿FH DW 325-5922, ext. 55, or at http:// ticketswest.com. The Liberty Theater is located at 1203 Commercial St. The critical acclaim Webb has received during his more than 40 years of success is as remarkable as his accom-
plishments. The composer and singer is a member of the National Academy of Popular Music Songwriter’s Hall of Fame,and the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame. Webb is best known for the instant classics he provided for such artists as Glen Campbell (“By The Time I Get To Phoenix”), Art Garfunkel (“All I Know”) and Linda Ronstadt (“Easy For You To Say”). Webb continues to write songs that are as carefully
crafted and magical as the earlier ones. Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash and Kris Kristofferson hit No. 1 in the late 1980s with another Webb standard, “The Highwayman,” a ballad that won him a Grammy for Best Country Song of the Year. With a discography that reads like a “Who’s Who” in the music world, Webb’s songs grace a multitude of major recording artists’ albums, from Tony Bennett and Rosemary Clooney to Reba
McEntire. Grammy Award-winning artist Bonoff has been deVFULEHG DV RQH RI WKH ¿QHVW singer-songwriters of her generation, and, in her case, the description is not exaggerated. With a career spanning four decades, Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity and the unwavering respect of her peers. In addition to her own chart success with recordings such as
“Personally” and the “Footloose” single “Somebody’s Eyes,” Bonoff has seen many of her ballads become pop classics, and songs such as “Tell Me Why” become hits for such stellar artists as Wynonna Judd, Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt. All the while, she has continued to tour extensively, playing sold-out shows around the world. Bonoff’s moving vocals on her rich, expressive songs are refreshing and exhilarating.

Creative opportunities abound at CCC summer camps ASTORIA — Clatsop Community College will host a series of activity-oriented summer camp experiences that will provide opportunities for in-depth exploration of a variety of technologies, inspire creative expression, and build new skills. The camps are designed primarily for students ages 12 to 18 and will be taught by CCC faculty and staff. All camps will be conducted on the main CCC campus in Astoria. Registration opens May 15. Enroll for an engaging and challenging summer online at www.clatsopcc.edu/schedule (search under the course title) or call 503-338-2402. 3-D Printing: How do objects get made? Designers determine how they look and how they work. 3D printers allow us to quickly build prototypes. Students will develop a
concept, design an object, use 3D modeling software to build a model of the object, and use a 3D printer to create it. (8:30 a.m. to noon, June 23 to
26; ages 12 to 18; $50.)
Click! Photography Camp: Explore the world through a camera lens. This class will focus on how to compose and create great photographs using your digital camera. You’ll go on location on the CCC campus and nearby neighborhoods and trails for photo shoots, and view and discuss your images with other camp participants. Be sure to bring your digital camera and wear comfortable shoes. (1 to 4:30 p.m., June 30 to July 2; ages 12 to 18; $40.)
Building Your Own Computer: Do you want to get into the guts of a computer? Learn about the inner workings of a computer, how
every part works and comes together to make a working PC. You will use the Internet to design and research the equipment it takes to build a computer or upgrade an older machine. You’ll then assemble a working computer from parts, install an operating system, and get to take your computer home with you. (8:30 a.m. to
noon, July 7 to 10; ages 12 to 18; $100.)
Web Design: Want to build your own website from scratch just like the professionals? You will build web pages, link them to each other to create a website, and ultimately upload them to a web server so that anyone anywhere can view them in their browser. Logic and programming skills are needed. The class will test your mental discipline, and take you under the covers of mere social networking. It’s time to
get your vision online for the world to see. (8:30 a.m. to noon,
July 14 to 17; ages 15 to 18; $50.)
Video Game Design Camp: Have you ever thought of a video game that does not exist? Now is the chance to ¿nd out how to turn your ideas into an actual game. Participants will use easy-to-learn software to discover the basics of video game design. Topics covered will include designing and developing game mechanics, characters, objects, levels, and elements of graphic design all based on the ultra-popular side scrolling adventure game “Super Mario Bros.” By the end of the class, each student will have completed their own playable game and have the skills to continue expanding their project on their own after class is over. (8:30 a.m. to noon, July 21 to 24; ages 12 to 18; $50.)

Cascade Crescendo will play at the Fort George Brewery at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 18.
Bluegrass band plays Fort ASTORIA — Born from the campgrounds of the Northwest String Summit and bluegrass jams in Portland, Cascade Crescendo has been crafting its own brand of bluegrass over the past couple years. While the band’s musical connection began with old traditional tunes, its true sound emerges in its original music. Cascade Crescendo’s collaborative songwriting combines ancient elements of the band’s traditional inÀuences, with progressive sounds and themes of the modern day, leaving plenty of room for instrumental explorations. The group’s music ranges from fast, hard-driving bluegrass, to funky danceable grooves,
to heartfelt acoustic ballads, and back to lively, upbeat bluegrass (sometime all in the same song). Cascade Crescendo is Hunter White on guitar, Taylor Skiles on upright bass, Eric Messer on banjo and Russ Baker on mandolin. Catch the band in concert at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 18 at the Fort George Brewery, 1483 Duane St.

North Coast artist Carol Riley has worked in watercolor for more than 35 years.
than 35 years and count myself fortunate to do what I love for a living. Through the years I have been represented by galleries in Portland and Seattle with many additional shows in nonprofit venues. There were constant deadlines, and it was at times stressful but also exciting and fun. Three years ago my son convinced me to build a website, www.carolriley.com, and that has worked well. How did you get started painting? When I was 7 I won a paint-by-numbers kit on a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s television show. The prescribed picture was a landscape, but instead I painted what I considered a facsimile of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mona Lisaâ&#x20AC;? from the encyclopedia. I still have a drawing in my studio from about that same time period: It is a horse with his name, â&#x20AC;&#x153;PAINT,â&#x20AC;? in large, little-kid letters. I now consider it my command to get to work. Guilty pleasure: I am a news junkie â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it drives my husband crazy. I am also addicted to British mysteries â&#x20AC;&#x201C; novels and TV shows. Most recent book you really loved: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Paris to the Moonâ&#x20AC;? by Adam Gopnik. If you could meet one artist, who would it be and what would you want to know? I would put together a dinner party with Fra Angelico, Pierre Bonnard and David Hockney, then happily listen to their conversation. Giovanna Garzoni should also be on that guest list. She was an Italian botanical illustrator born in 1600 whom I greatly admire.
