Get up. Get out. Get active. May is National Stroke Awareness Month. John Etter was 45 when he had his first stroke. Since then, the 62-year-old has endured two more. He found hope in his recovery at Providence. The folks here kept him going, even when he struggled to brush his teeth. Today, he can check decathlon off his list. John’s best defense against a setback is staying in motion. Every step counts toward putting distance between him and his strokes. He walks, swims, cycles and strength trains five days a week. He cherishes his good health – and he works hard to keep it that way. “I’m humbled by the fact that I’m here and a very lucky person.”
Read more about John’s story and get tips on how to live a healthy lifestyle and prevent stroke.
www.providence.org/stroke John Etter volunteers with Providence Acute Rehabilitation Center to help motivate other stroke survivors. He exercises regularly to stay physically vibrant and prevent future strokes.

Ayurvedic Diet: eating for your body type Astoria Co-op monthly lecture features prominent scholar ASTORIA — You can learn about the Ayurvedic Diet: a holistic approach to eating that takes into account your body type, aims to prevent disease, and make you a more happy and healthy person. Ayurveda is an ancient medical practice from India with mainstream appeal, appearing on “The Dr. Oz Show,” for example. The three doshas, which are the Ayurvedic body types, are Vata, Pitta and Kapha, which each carry a set of behavioral and physical characteristics and a prescription for foods to eat and avoid for optimal well-being. The Astoria Co-op’s monthly food and wellness lecture series, Beers to Your Health, will cover the basics. The Co-op’s guest speaker for May is Yogacharya Dharmananda, also known as Swamiji. Swamiji is a prominent scholar and teacher of the science of yoga, Hindu philosophy and comparative religion. As the former director of the International Vishwaguru Yoga and Meditation Institute in Rishikesh, India, he has taught students from all over the world for more than 25 years. ³7KH EHQH¿W RI WKH Ayurvedic Diet) will be health, including cancer and

pital is bringing him to Astoria for a series of workshops for nurses and other caregivers called Healthcare from the Heart. “We feel extremely fortunate that we are able to have Swamiji speak at our lecture while he’s in town.

THE
BIG O SALOON
I
A cookhouse and wateringhole with tons of character
It was late November, raining, and I had recently moved to Astoria and reconnoitering to get the lay of the land. A sign on Oregon Highway 105 just south of the Old Youngs Bay Bridge caught my eye: “Big ‘O’ Saloon / Cookhouse/ Wateringhole / Olney, OR / 9.5 Miles on Hwy 202.� I’d never seen a cookhouse. I’d never driven Oregon Highway 202. I’d never heard of Olney. A groovy painting of a crosscut saw on the sign sealed the deal. I was going – right now. Fifteen minutes later, I walked inside the Big O Saloon and could not believe my eyes: wood, antlers, a wood stove, stuffed woodland creatures, a bear trap, chainsaws galore, wasp nests, and a female bartender sporting

The Big O is also attached to a TXDLQW JHQHUDO VWRUH DQG RQH SXPS Âż OOLQJ station.

Thus, it was only natural that Dale milled the bar himself and locals donated the ancient logger’s trade items that adorn the place. It’s practically a museum inside the saloon with Dale and Shawrron acting as de facto curators by rotating in new artifacts that someone wants exhibited.

Maddox Dancers, Main Street Tappers, more to perform ASTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; National Dance Week is celebrated to increase the awareness of dance as one of the integral arts in American society. From the beginning of recorded history, dance has served as a meaningful venue for communication and continues to do so. Jeanne Peterson, owner and director of Maddox Dance Studio, serves as the Oregon delegate for National Dance Week. As part of the celebration, Maddox Dance Studio will host the 11th annual Tap Dance Festival at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 3 in cooperation with Clatsop Community College.
Traditional tap dancers considered themselves musicians, creating complex sounds and rhythms to express their mood, the music and themselves. Tap was passed from dancer to dancer, and as the late Gregory Hines said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;From friend to friend.â&#x20AC;? At the festival, the Maddox Dancers will be joined by the Tapped Out Tappers, an adult tap group from Astoria, and The Main Street Tappers, an adult tap group from Warrenton. Guest performers from Hollywood Dance Center in Portland will present tap dances ranging from Vaudeville to Broadway. Another annual
feature is audience participation: Anyone interested can join the dancers on stage for a quick tap lesson. Audience members are encouraged to bring tap shoes. Faculty members at Maddox Dance Studio will teach. The ÂżQDOH ZLOO EH /HRQDUG 5HHGÂśV history-making â&#x20AC;&#x153;Shim Sham Shimmy.â&#x20AC;? The show is open to the public. The CCC Performing Arts Center is located at 16th Street and Franklin Avenue in Astoria. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for senior citizens and students age 12 and under. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

free-standing sculpture. Can you elaborate on the non-traditional objects in your paintings? The use of non-traditional and found objects in painting is sometimes more of a challenge than I want. It’s difficult to add or paint over objects and make them feel cohesive. Things can just look like something “stuck on.” I like the materials to help strengthen the meaning of the painting. I like using recycled material so it won’t end up in the envi-

dogs in the dunes, taking a wood-fired sauna, reading. How did you get started making art? It’s difficult to pinpoint because most people grow up making things and creating imaginative worlds. I think art begins with the designation of the object as art – the materials take on a life of their own. What mediums do you work in? I primarily use water-based paint of any kind combined with mixed-media: plaster, wood, styrofoam, found recycled objects and sometimes natural materials, such as clay, soil and plant fibers. Occasionally, I build structures that function like installation or

How does your studio’s environment inform your work? There are fewer interruptions. I like the quiet and natural rhythms of light and dark, trees and wildlife. Living in the country makes me aware of how disconnected we have all become from nature, and how much understanding of our own mystical nature we have lost. Also, hard physical labor is always good for art and the soul. Do you have any pets? Two dogs, 2-year-old siblings, a mix of chocolate lab and weimaraner: Fleet and Bardy. Favorite sport/activity: Besides painting, walking the

ronment in a destructive way. What subjects or themes do you focus on? Most of the time I don’t begin with a specific theme in mind. Usually that happens later, when looking at the work, I can identify reoccurring ideas. Since my work is primarily abstract, a lot of my ideas come from reading (especially poetry), writing and experimenting with process and materials. I am drawn to work that has an accidental appearance, and has a sense of age and time, like many of the old frescoes in Italy. Prized possession: Maybe some old art books ... Where do you show? Currently, you can see work at the Cannon Beach
Gallery through April 28 in “Reclaiming the Green World,” curated by Jessica Schleif. I will have another local show June 7 at Fairweather House and Garden in Seaside that relates to the elements of water. I have shown all over the Northwest, and my last exhibit in Portland was at Chambers Gallery. I have also shown in NYC, Italy and last year in Finland. Talk about your artist in residency in Finland. I was lucky to be able to spend 40 days in Finland (in the center of the country close to Tampere, the second largest city) with nine other international artists. I am part Finnish, so I was able to meet family I had never met, and experience the culture (especially traditional saunas) I had

always heard about. I was so impressed with how Finland works to improve the daily life and working conditions of citizens and artists. The Finnish Painters’ Union, the largest arts organization (over 1,300 members) actively promotes social security, tax legislation, exhibition, and grants for all creative professionals. The art scene was very lively and varied, and the quality of art and design outstanding. Teachers are revered, and the education system is one of the best in the world. There were many amazing examples of gender equality in the arts, as well as politics and business. It made me feel hopeful of what is possible. All of the artists in the residency presented work and a short lecture at the Pori Art Museum. The opportunity to see your work though international eyes, and to experience the work of other artists intimately is very valuable. If you could meet one artist, who would it be? I think the artist I’d most like to hang with, for at least a day, would be Charline von Heyl. I’d like to know how she copes with being such an amazing painter and being relatively unknown and underpaid. However, she is still alive, so maybe I’ll get that chance. Guilty pleasure: I don’t really feel too guilty, but I love old films, especially watching Hedy Lamarr.
