People who live in the Columbia-Pacific region are undoubtedly familiar with the fascination surrounding the Lewis and Clark expedition. With a national park spanning sites in both Oregon and Washington, annual re-enactments and the Corps of Discovery’s winter fort replica nearby, it’s easy to feel the mark left by the expedition. But unless you have read the Lewis and Clark journals (or are fresh from learning about the expedition in school), chances are that some details are murky. For example, I didn’t know that just three years after the Corps of Discovery returned home, Meriwether Lewis died – or that the details surrounding his death have inspired such debate among scholars. “To say it’s a controversy would be an understatement,” said David Peck, who is a retired physician and the author of “Or Perish in the Attempt: The Hardship and Medicine of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.” Peck gave a presentation about Lewis’ death last Sunday for “In Their Footsteps,” a free speaker series
held once a month in the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center’s Netul River Room. What we know: Lewis died Oct. 11, 1809 from gunshot wounds to the head and chest while on his way to Washington D.C. to settle some financial details with the government about the expedition. There are four main theories about Lewis’ death: 1) that Lewis was murdered, perhaps as part of a political conspiracy, 2) that he shot himself while suffering neurological effects of syphilis or mercury (which was
used at the time to treat syphilis), 3) that Lewis shot himself to relieve pain from chronic malaria, or 4) that Lewis committed suicide. Peck discussed the theories, giving his opinion on the evidence and possibility of each. All were fascinating to hear. Some theories rested on little evidence, which Peck was quick to point out. One thing was clear: it’s difficult to “prove” something that happened so long ago. Details are murky, testimony from witnesses is complicated, and medical knowledge at
the time was very different from today (germ theory wasn’t even a thing yet). Ultimately, Peck settled on suicide as the most likely explanation for Lewis’ death. According to Peck, some

Current New York Times Young Adult Best Sellers Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH
Young adult readers have it all
L
Looking for a good book about secret passages, vampire love or the cool habits of nerds? How about a kid brother with bone cancer or the realities of life and death up close and personal? Pop poetry, Russian history, smart investment strategies? If this wide range of topics should bring to mind many different locations in many local libraries, book stores, or on the Internet, guess again. It’s all available in Young Adult, aka YA, books where the topics suggested above are just the tip of the iceberg – or better put, just a shelf reach away. Aimed at an audience from about 12 to 17 or 18 years old, YA has something for everyone. There’s books for middle-grade readers, teens and young adults; there’s fiction, poetry, fantasy, scifi and more. Name it, it’s there. In a May 2013 Los Angeles Times article, Carolyn Kellogg writes, “new young adult imprints have been launched or announced by more than a dozen publishers, operating across all adult genres. Except erotica (so far).” At Powell’s Books in Portland, there are seven bays and two freestanding kiosks chock-full of YA books. “It’s been this big for two or three years, and we’re expanding it,” said Glorid Moe, who’s been at Powell’s for 28 years. “It depends on the person, but often little kids start reading books written specifically for their age group and around 10 or 12 years old start jumping into YA books. Then, at 15, they continue to read YA but also transition into adult literature.” Moe says there are some great YA writers out there. “Sometimes they are better than authors writing adult literature. And many established adult authors, like Joyce Carol Oates and Steven King, are crossover writers,” she said. “I read a lot, and I like YA books.” Moe is far from alone. More than half of consumers of YA books aren’t all that young – at least according to a 2012 study by Bowker Market Research, an international company that explores the changing nature of publishing for kids. “Fully 55 percent of buyers of works that are designated YA books are 18 or older, with the largest segment aged 30 to 44, a group that alone accounted for 28 percent of YA sales,” the study said. “And adults aren’t just purchasing for others – when asked about the intended recipient, they report that 78
4 | May 23, 2013 | coastweekend.com
percent of the time they are purchasing books for their own reading.” At Seaside’s Public Library, YA librarian Julie Handyside says that long before her arrival a YA room was on the want list for the new library. The wish is now a reality. There is a Young Reader’s Room stocked with computer terminals, new books and selected YA series, including Manga, a popular Japanese-style illustrated comic book style that’s read from the back to front. YA magazines have a rack with age-specific titles, including J14 Teen Celebrity, Sports Illustrated Kids and Teen
More than half of consumers of young adult books aren’t all that young. Vogue with its advice on hot fashion. Handyside holds a weekly Tuesday teen event, and there is a summer reading program specificly for young adults. “There’s no lack of crossover of adult topics into YA,” said Kay Aya, the YA book expert at Cannon Beach Books. “Scott Westerfeld’s ‘Pretties’ and ‘Uglies’ takes on plastic surgery. Madeleine L’Engle, author of ‘A Wrinkle in Time,’ wrote dozens of books covering all kinds of real life topics including religion, faith and modern science.” YA books often run in a series – a way for authors to delve deep into character development and full-fleshed imaginary worlds. “We’ll find (kids) standing on the porch at 10 a.m. waiting for the store to open to get the next in a series.” The phenomenal success of series like Harry Potter, “Twilight” and “The Hunger Games,” each selling multi-millions of copies in a multitude of countries, leaves no doubt that the YA market is ready to read and wanting more – meaning imagination is alive and well for every age of YA readers. Now go grab a book and find out what or who lurks, loves, bites or begs but most of all surprises. And don’t forget to pass it on.
“The Fault in our Stars” by John Green – A 16 year old heroine faces the medical realties of cancer. “Divergent” by Veronica Roth – A girl must prove her mettle in a dystopia divided into five factions. “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosy – What it’s like to grow up from the perspective of a high school boy. “Insurgent” by Veronica Roth – In this “Divergent” sequel, a faction war looms. “While It Lasts” by Abbi Glines – A guy named Cage takes a summer job in the countryside and meets a farmer’s daughter. “The Elite” by Kiera Cass – The group of potential princesses narrows; a sequel to “The Selection.” “Looking for Alaska” by John Green – A boy seeking excitement finds that and more in a girl named Alaska. “Legend” by Marie Lu – A well-born girl and a poor boy clash, then fall in love, in a post-apocalyptic Los Angeles. “Paper Towns” by John Green – After a night of mischief, the girl Quentin loves disappears. “The Book Thief” by Markus Zusak – A girl saves books from Nazi burning.

After six generations, the name Araki is synonymous with the Japanese shakuhachi (an end-blown bamboo flute), which Hanz mastered, making his professional debut in 1988. After four years of concert appearances and teaching at the prestigious Keio University in Tokyo, Japan, Araki returned to his hometown of Seattle and found himself drawn to the world of Celtic music. The penny-whistle and the Irish flute became his single-minded focus, and jigs and reels became a second language. Araki also discovered his voice was well-suited to the songs of Scotland, Ireland and England, and he is highly re-
CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach History Center and Museum will welcome back Portland musician Robert Richter 7 p.m. Friday May 24. Richter is an easygoing singer, songwriter and guitarist who plays a blend of Celtic, blues, folk and rock. Richter’s credits include appearing on Tom May’s nationally syndicated radio program “River City Folk,” which carried on more than 250 NPR affiliates nationwide. In addition, his music was played on the “Bob Dylan Radio Hour,” heard on Sirius Satellite Network and on KUSF FM in San Francisco. A new live album, “A Change of Heart,” was released in 2012. Richter might even bring a surprise guest. Don’t miss your opportunity to see this toe-tapping performer in an intimate setting. Tickets are $10 for adults and $2 for children; proceeds will benefit the museum. The rest of the weekend will see a book sale at the museum: Visit 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Memorial Day weekend, Saturday to Monday, May 25 to 27 to peruse the books and find some gems. The Cannon Beach History Center and Museum was the recent recipient of an unusual gift. Portland natives Earl H. Twietmeyer, also known as “Skip,” and his wife, Elaine Twietmeyer, donated their entire book collection just under a year ago. The collection contains more than 3,000 historic books about peo-

garded for his interpretation of folk songs. After several tours across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., Araki moved to Portland in 2006. This move proved to be most fortuitous as it led to the musical partnership with Kathryn Claire. A self-taught guitarist and accomplished vocalist and fiddle-player, Claire has asserted herself in a new generation of traditionally-inspired musicians. Her violin-playing exhibits a technical grace that is matched only by her captivating voice. While she possesses the rare ability to move seamlessly across genres, her love and deep respect for traditional music has long been a driving influence, and those roots can be heard in her own original music.
Hanz Araki and Kathryn Claire concert 7 p.m. Friday, May 24 McMenamin’s Sand Trap Pub 1157 N. Marion Ave., Gearhart Free Araki and Claire quickly discovered their shared love of harmony, and a creative process began that has produced a tremendous body of work. Their shared passion for traditional music is magnetic and they have become a favorite at music festivals and venues in the U.S. and abroad.

Inspire creativity CBAA’s Summer Art Camp and the Coaster Theatre’s Summer Theatre Arts Camp will inspire your kids’ creativity
W
When it is only a few weeks into summer vacation, you may suddenly hear those words that every parent dreads: “Mom, I’m bored.” The classic response is to start doling out jobs to the one doing the whining – with mixed results. Have no fear, help is here. There are two summer camps perfectly suited to solve the problem of boredom, tune up imagination and turn on creative output: Cannon Beach Arts Association (CBAA) Summer Art Camp and Coaster Theatre’s Summer Theatre Arts Camp. First on the calendar is CBAA’s 11th annual Summer Art Camp with morning classes 10 a.m. to noon and afternoon classes 1 to 4 p.m. from July 22 to 26. All classes are held at Cannon Beach Elementary School, 268 Beaver St. in Cannon Beach. For more information, call 503-436-0744 or 503-368-6220. There are several classes to choose from, and the fee for each class is $65; some have an additional materials fee. Scholarships are available. The schedule of classes is eclectic enough to appeal to any and all children and adults from age 8 on up, with magic, stories, beads, watercolors, Safari animals and bookbinding, to mention a few. Barbara Temple Ayres, the event coordinator for CBAA’s Summer Art Camp and a working artist, says the art camp is a great place to have an art experience. “Staying with a class for an entire week helps students learn skills and improve their technique with help from teachers,” Ayres says. “The classes are diverse enough to accommodate all ages – adults have been added in the last two years.” The different classes offer hands-on experiences. CBAA also emphasizes environmental responsibility through the use of fabric, recycled materielas and yarn in its classes. “The program strives to offer something in all the arts,” Ayres says. “We look for young teachers who are good with children. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and they are good at helping kids learn in a group situation.” (For a closer look at CBAA classes, see the sidebar.) At the end of these marvelous art classes, you will have to entertain the little darlings – and yourselves – until Aug. 5 to 16, when the Coaster Theatre’s education outreach will present its Summer Theatre Arts Camp 2013, led by the theater’s executive director, Patrick Lathrop, who will be ably assisted by Kirk Valles. Valles has worked at the Coaster Theatre before as music director for “Clue” and “Annie Get Your Gun.” He works for San Diego Unified School District, does about five shows a year for community theaters and is an accomplished pianist as well. In addition to these impeccable credentials, Valles is interested in working with children through the theatrical process. “If the process is good and educational everyone will enjoy it as well as learning skills to take away from the experience,” Valles says. “Everyone will have a part to play, either at the ensemble level or in a lead role, so the entire process is inclusive.” The two-week camp will focus on three aspects of theater arts: acting, singing and dancing. In addition to bestowing confidence and creativity, campers will be exposed to teamwork, mutual respect and

Join this forest outing to admire nature, practice photography
SEASIDE — Fairweather House and Garden is pleased to open a new exhibit, “Fast Forward,� 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, May 25 before the First Saturday Art Walk. The exhibition will feature the artwork of John Dudley, a gifted visual and verbal artist. The show is a collection of contemporary fine art and abstract photo art. The artist will be in attendance during the opening reception to meet patrons and discuss the back stories for the art on display. Dudley, son of notable artist Jack Dudley, was raised in the coastal town of Laguna Beach, Calif. He was interested in sketching and writing from a young age. In college, he studied literature and linguistics. After traveling and graduating, he married his high school sweetheart, and the couple moved to

the Yupik Eskimo village of Hooper Bay, Alaska, to be teachers. In Hooper Bay, Dudley learned about extreme environments and harsh realities. He learned to appreciate and respect unwritten wisdoms, honed listening skills, improved his ability to see the unsaid, and felt the colors of the arctic sky. Dudley went on to earn a master’s degree from UCLA, taught at the University of Alaska and won a full scholarship to the University of Hawaii. Moving to Hawaii was a lifechanger: Everything about it set fire to Dudley’s imagination. After moving back to California, working as a freelance writer and becoming close with his parents, Dudley and his family moved to Oregon after his wife was offered a teaching job. He began to look inward with the growing recognition that after so much avoidance, he was meant all along to follow in his father’s footsteps and create art. To honor his late father and his renowned Southwest landscape paintings, Dudley established and endowed the Jack Dudley Memorial Fund, in partnership with the Grand Canyon Association, with the purpose of giving annual monetary awards to juried artists and to acquire distinctive Grand Canyon paintings for the Grand Canyon National Park’s permanent public collection. Since moving to the Oregon’s North Coast, Dudley finds

The finished simple fish puppet by Rhonda Grudenic.
Trail’s End Art Association Summer 2013 Children’s Camp
Astoria-based artist Rhonda Grudenic runs a children’s puppet and theater summer camp workshop at Trail’s End Art Association in July that focuses on creativity, problem solving and cooperation

T
There once was a pie-eating horse named Penelope who lived in a circus, a monkey who lived in a jungle, a mermaid who sat on a rock, a detective, and an invisible thief named Ivy, who worried that people didn’t pay attention to her, even though they couldn’t see her. What did they have in common? They’re all made out of sticks, wire, paper mache and scraps of fabric, and they act out their drama on a small stage at the Trail’s End Art Association’s (TEAA) Art Gallery in Gearhart. Their story (and the kids who made them) are part of TEAA’s annual summer children’s camp, which also includes crafts and fine arts. “The hardest part of the puppet,” says Sage Park, 10, of her “invisible” puppet Ivy, “was definitely, probably, the mouth. I tried to make a huge smile, and got red all over the face. Then I erased it and her face was pink, like she’s just eaten cotton candy. Then Rhonda showed me how to make the mouth smaller.” Rhonda would be Rhonda Grudenic, an Astoria-based artist whose work is exhibited at RiverSea Gallery. She became interested in puppets when she took her 5-year-old oldest son (he’s now 33) to Portland’s Tears of Joy Puppet Theater years ago. “I had never before encountered stick-and-rod puppets,” she says. “The puppeteers aren’t hidden – but in the storytelling they just drop away, and all you see are these marvelous puppets. I always had it in the back of my mind to do a puppet workshop. Like most of my ideas, I had no idea what was involved, but I thought it would be so fun to do.” That’s the way it has turned out, according to Sage, who says, “I always liked puppets, and how their hands move – and who doesn’t want to do puppets?” Two other TEAA puppeteers couldn’t agree more. Bella Samuelson, 10, says she had a lot of fun making the clothes for her puppet. “It’s a girl monkey,” she says. “It started out to be something else, and then it started to look like a monkey.” Bella brought some fabric, “but
Rhonda had everything we needed.” Her sister Stella Samuelson, 12, says, “We had to decide what our puppet wanted to be, and we had to become our puppet, and the story came from there. Everybody was pitching fun and crazy ideas.” The child puppeteers not only make their own puppets, they write the script, build the scenery, rehearse the show, and present it to family and friends – all in the space of a single week in July. Speaking of the sets – an ocean, a jungle and a castle last year – Stella proudly pro-

If they want a flying saucer in the play, they have to figure out how to make one and how to make it move. And there are other kinds of problem solving. Why does Ivy steal, and how do the other puppets
relate to a puppet who does things they might not like? In fleshing out their puppets they also have to consider ‘why.’ I hope they realize that it’s not just about puppets. “I say ‘Tell me something about your puppets, and together they have to develop a plot,” Grudenic says. “How do all these characters relate to one another? The children learn to relate to one another via puppets. But what really fascinates me is that the story and movement are so minimal, and the mind fills in everything else.” “My puppet came along after all the other puppets were made,” says Sage. “Everyone was deciding who their character was going to be, and I thought my puppet should be the bad guy. She’s white because she’s invisible, and being invisible is awesome, a bad guy kind of thing. I love the crimped hair, too.” Stella’s puppet was a mermaid because, “I’ve lived in Seaside almost all my life. I’ve always loved the beach and been fascinated by mermaids.” Bella thought coming up with the story was interesting, and her sister agrees, saying, “Everybody had pretty good ideas, and it sort of fell into place.” Sage is more critical: “It was a good play, but it needed work. We didn’t have much time to rehearse, and there were some missed lines. We should have added more songs and monologues.” “It’s so difficult to operate a puppet and say your lines,” says Grudenic, who acts as narrator, “but the kids say their lines.” “I had no idea what to do with puppets,” says Sage, describing the beginning of the week-long art camp. “But it’s good not to have any ideas before making the puppet, so when you’re making your puppet she becomes part of the story.” It’s clear these puppeteers have learned more than simply how to make a puppet and dress a set. “It’s really fun, and it’s a good way to be creative,” says Stella. “And have imagination,” adds Bella. “And,” Stella concludes, “You learn how to make puppets.”

Twisted Fish Steakhouse
The Mouth enjoys mouth-watering dishes, but finds management response lacking
A
About a year ago in Seaside, I visited a relatively new restaurant in town called Twisted Fish and had an exceptional experience. The service was top-notch, the atmosphere was both cozy and upscale, and the food was outstanding. Executive chef Jake Burden creates mouth-watering dishes with an eclectic feel, using top choice ingredients, including hand-cut steaks, calamari, ahi tuna, oysters and crab legs, plus fresh breads and desserts crafted in-house. After having such a noteworthy experience on my last visit, I was excited to visit the restaurant again, this time as The Mouth. Unfortunately, within seconds of being seated, I began overhearing a very loud conversation from three men at a nearby booth, which was extraordinarily crude and peppered with four-letter words. I turned and asked if they wouldn’t mind watching their language or keeping their voices down a little. A short while later, one of the men approached my table and began gesturing angrily at me while unleashing a litany of obscenities. In hindsight, I have wondered if perhaps I should have kept mum and just put up with the foul language, but in my opinion, it seemed classless, rude and disrespectful, and I refuse to be bullied into tolerating that kind of behavior in a restaurant or any other public place. Our young server, who looked intimidated and embarrassed, apologized profusely, and I recognize that a restaurant has no control over what its patrons discuss at the dinner table. But my main concern is that I was never approached by an owner, manager or other individual in a position of authority after what was a negative, embarrassing and somewhat scary experience. But I digress. As for assessing the food, I was impressed with the offerings from Twisted Fish, although the wait was substantial; I noted that from the time I ordered, to the time my first appetizer arrived that 70 minutes had elapsed.
I began the meal with pepper-crusted ahi sashimi with cucumber salad, wasabi, and pickled ginger. I appreciate that the chef prepared a dish that was both so tasty and so aesthetically pleasing at the same time. The dish was plated beautifully and the ahi seared perfectly, still a rich red in the middle. Equally toothsome were Brussels sprouts sautéed with bacon and shallots and topped with parmesan and a balsamic reduction. I confess to the chef of Twisted Fish that in the future I will try to replicate the restaurant’s version of the tiny cabbages in my own kitchen. The bacon lent saltiness while the balsamic reduction was mildly sweet; perfect. Lemon pepper fried calamari and artichoke hearts with Italian parsley and a roasted tomato coulis was next. For me, the tang of lemon in the breading was not intense enough; calamari doesn’t have much flavor on its own, and needs dressing up any time it’s prepared. The roasted tomato coulis was similar in taste and texture to marinara sauce, and it seemed flat. Punching up the coulis
somehow with more Italian herbs would have made the dish, overall, more flavorful. Next to the Brussels sprouts, my favorite dish of the evening was pan-seared sea scallops with garlic bacon spinach, jasmine rice, lemon-lime buerre blanc and sweet pepper confetti. The buerre blanc, a French sauce of vinegar, shallots, wine and

preciative when they are cooked properly. A 10-ounce center-cut rib-eye steak, served with mashed potatoes and a medley of vegetables, was the last dish of the evening. Steaks from the rib area of the cow often have a lot of fat compared to other cuts of meat, as the muscles in the area aren’t overly used, so I was expecting this, but this particular steak seemed overly fat. Still, the meat was delightfully tender, and the accompanying sides, particularly the mashed potatoes, were well prepared and delectable. Each time I write a review I conclude it with a rating of stars. I wish that in this instance, I could just judge Twisted Fish on my previous visit, prior to becoming The Mouth, which was fantastic, or that I could simply award a star rating for their food alone, which would merit four stars. Unfortunately I am unable to put my negative experience, and the way it was (un)handled by the management, out of my mind, and can only give Twisted Fish three stars. That being said, I wouldn’t hesitate to visit the restaurant again, knowing that the food is quite good and that on a different day, there might be an entirely different (and more positive) experience to be had.

Liberty Theater Return to childhood with ‘The Velveteen Rabbit’ ballet ASTORIA — The Astoria School of Ballet proudly presents “The Velveteen Rabbit,” a ballet based on the book by Margery Williams. Choreographed and directed by Margaret Wall, the show features music by Léo Delibes, one of ballet’s most-loved composers. The ballet features lively characters with colorful costumes and dramatic dancing. Two performances on Thursday, May 23 and a morning performance Friday, May 24 will be presented as part of the Liberty Theater’s School Enrichment Series. Elementary and Middle School students from Clatsop and Pacific Counties will attend, leading up to a public performance 7 p.m. Friday, May 24. Teachers are provided with an educational study guide to prepare students for attending the ballet. This way, students are fa-
mination of a big year for ASB: the ballet school moved from its location on 10th Street to the newly-renovated Paulson Pavilion studios on the second floor of the Liberty Theater. ASB made the move in September 2012, holding classes and rehearsals on the theater stage until renovations were completed upstairs in early March 2013.
The Liberty Theater is located at 1203 Commercial St. in Astoria. Tickets for the public evening performance cost $10 for adults and $5 for students, seniors and military personnel. Tickets are available by calling the Liberty Box Office at 503325-5922 ext. 55. For more information, visit www.astoria schoolofballet.com

GEARHART — Local artist Judi Marsh Garrity will be the main gallery presenter and demonstration artist at the Trail’s End Art Association (TEAA) First Saturday Art Walk reception from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 1. Refreshments will be served and the public is welcome to browse the Trail’s End Art Gallery with an all-new exhibit featuring photography, oil painting, acrylic, watercolors, jewelry and more. During the reception, Garrity will share some of her basketry and colored pencil techniques. Garrity’s career began in Tidewater, Va., not far from colonial Williamsburg, Va. She taught high school art there, took graduate art courses at the College of William & Mary, set up her own studio and specialized in pen and ink sketches of the many Revolutionary-era and Civil War-era homes in the area. With five other artists she founded The Creative Workshop in Boca Raton, Fla., the first of its kind in the area, where customers could buy supplies for
making jewelry, leatherwork, batik printing, basketry, macramé, painting and ceramics as well as take lessons in all those arts. At these workshops, Garrity taught basketry and became a member of Florida Craftsman, giving presentations on the history and techniques of basket making. During her days with the workshop, Garrity was in charge of newspaper ads. She became interested in learning more, so she enrolled in the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale. This led to a 10-year career in graphic design; she contributed to community theater by designing sets, posters and playbills and by designing fliers for nonprofit groups. In 1989 Judi moved to southern California where she was hired by the Los Angeles Unified School District to design and implement a program for at-risk middle school students. In this program, she began to use art as a tool to reengage discouraged students in learning core subjects. She used

art extensively in teaching math, world and American history. Retiring from full time teaching in 2001, Garrity has since pursued her own interests in art, especially portrait painting, colored pencil and creating mini baskets. She returned to Florida in 2003 and was the education and exhibits director of the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum until mid-2006 when she married her husband, Ed Garrity. The Garritys live in Seaside, where Judi Garrity gives private and small group art instruction. She is a member of the Colored Pencil Society of America, Oregon Chapter. This month’s gallery show also features other members of TEAA and includes a variety of fine art offerings. There is also a gift shop with jewelry, prints and cards at the gallery. Visit http://trailsendart.org for more information about the organization. TEAA is located at 656 A St. in Gearhart. New members are always welcome.

Pine Grove Community House Enjoy an exciting night of live Irish music MANZANITA — Pine Grove Community House will welcome quintessential Irish musician Séamus Begley and fiddler Oisín Mac Diarmada for a concert 7 p.m. Sunday, May 26. Begley is from a famous musical family from the Dingle peninsula of Ireland. By the age of 14, he was playing accordion at local dances. In 1972 he recorded his first album, “An Ciarraíoch Mallaithe,” with his sister Máire. They made a second album, “Planxtaí Bhaile na bPoc,” for Gael Linn in 1989 that featured the playing of Steve Cooney. Touring far and wide in the years afterwards, Cooney and Begley eventually recorded “Meitheal” together in 1996. Begley’s album with guitarist Jim Murray, “Ragairn,” was voted 2001 Traditional Album of the Year in both Hot Press and the Irish Times. Murray and Begley recorded a second album in 2009, “Éirí Go Lá.” He recorded “Disgrace Notes” with Tim Edey and his singing can also be heard on the recent “Béal Tuinne” in the company of other
West Kerry singers. Begley is an eager storyteller known for his sharp wit and famous for pumping out tune after tune at all night sessions with an energy that is sometimes alarming. Displaying a frisky spontaneity in his accordion playing, he has toured extensively. He was recently awarded the prestigious 2013 TG4 Singer of the Year in Ireland in recognition of his major contribution to Irish singing. Fiddler Mac Diarmada, founder of noted group Téada, has been described by The Irish Echo’s Earle Hitchner as “one of the most gifted and creative tra-
ditional fiddlers playing today.” He has appeared as guest soloist with the Southern Georgia Symphony Orchestra in the U.S. and accompanied Irish President Mary McAleese on a state visit to Romania. Begley and Mac Diarmada have teamed up in an exciting and intimate combination, exploring tunes and songs from West Kerry to Sligo. Having already released two duo albums, “Le Chéile” and “An Irish Christmas Soundscape,” Begley has recently also teamed up with Téada. Pine Grove Community House is located at 225 Laneda Ave. in Manzanita. Tickets cost $20 and are available online at http://tinyurl.com/pinegrove tickets, and they are available at the door for cash or check only.

Beach Home ~ Old & New Find a touch of magic with reconsidered home décor OCEAN PARK, Wash. — A new shop will grace the streets of the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula: Beach Home ~ Old & New opens its doors Thursday, May 23. Reconsidered home décor with Northwest beach flair, original photography and an eclectic range of finds by owner Bonnie Lou Cozby fill the intimate space of the newest Ocean Park, Wash., shopping venue. Located at 1715 Bay Ave. No. 4, it is one of several newer shops calling the north end of the Long Beach Peninsula home. This is not the first time out for Cozby. In 2000, she and her husband, Charlie Cozby, opened Beach Home Collectibles in Seaview, Wash. The first shop

carried many of the items needed to repurpose furniture and décor items. This new shop has finished pieces and accessories, photography and artisan work – along with a little magic. Cozby also plans to add a service called A Second Look. Designed to work on a flat fee per room basis, the concept is to give clients an easy-to-follow plan to make the best use of furnishings already in their homes. Increasing storage, function, flow and beauty by reconsidering the use of these furnishings is the goal. Using experience from years as a decorator at four Seattle-based fine furniture stores and the knowledge collected from 28 years of re-establishing homes as a U.S. Coast Guard wife, Cozby is confident in her ability. “Downsizing is not a bad thing,” Cozby says, referring to the large population of retirees moving to the coast and often into smaller homes. “Moving to a smaller space does not mean you have to do with less style. You just have to use things in a smarter, multiple-purpose way. Keep the things you love and

Bridgewater Bistro Enjoy jazz, fund local music students ASTORIA — The musical group All That Jazz will perform Sunday, May 26 at the Bridgewater Bistro, 20 Basin St., Suite A in Astoria. The group will play swing and jazz music in the restaurant every Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. The afternoon concerts are free, but tax-deductible donations go to fund the Astoria High School Music Scholarship Program. All That Jazz began playing in Ole Bob’s Cafe in Ilwaco, Wash., about 15 years ago, collecting donations and giving a small scholarship to Ilwaco High School music students. Since then, All That Jazz has created a scholarship fund (named after three members of the musical group who have passed away). All That Jazz gave $2,000 in scholarships to area music students in 2012. There are six full time members of All That Jazz. Lee Stromquist, who plays keyboard, is a retired music educator who directed the Astoria High School music program for more than 20
years. Bob Joiner, who plays valve trombone, is a retired professional musician. Bill Sutton plays trombone, keyboard and sings. Peter Hinsbeeck plays alto and tenor saxophone, flute and clarinet. Dennis Hale, who plays tuba, is a local building contractor and has played music sinche high school. David Graves plays drums. In addition to the full time members, there are several parttime or seasonal members. Chuck Wyndham, 92, is the oldest member of the group; he plays tenor saxophone, winters in California and summers on the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula. Ken Presthus, who sings, plays valve trombone, harmonica and flugelhorn, winters in Arizona but returns to the Astoria area in the summer, playing Scandinavian gigs with a polka group. Janet Clark, who plays fiddle, plays with a country group called Double J and the Boys and several other bluegrass bands.

Prizes will be awarded to the audience members who solve the crime. Seating is limited, so call to reserve your tickets now at 503368-3778.
Northwest by Northwest Gallery Sculptor honored with award CANNON BEACH — Bronze sculptor Georgia Gerber recently won Sculptor of the Year for Year of the Seal, an education program by Seal Sitters Marine Mammal Stranding Network, an all-volunteer group dedicated to the protection of marine mammals in the urban habitat of Puget Sound in Washington. Gerber was selected by the program to create a full-scale sculpture of a harbor seal mom and pup for Alki Beach in Washington. Cannon Beach has one of Gerber’s seal sculptures, “Seal Twist,” on display at The Village,
255 N. Hemlock St. The remodeled village, a courtyard gathering place, is committed to public art. “Seal Twist” is Gerber’s second public sculpture in Cannon Beach. She is the winner of the 2010 Sculpture Without Walls public choice vote for her “Tufted Puffins.” Gerber is represented by Northwest By Northwest Gallery in Cannon Beach. Works by Gerber will be on display at Windermere Real Estate’s new Cannon Beach location during its Memorial Day grand opening, Monday, May 27.
Fort George Brewery Rock it up with the Quick & Easy Boys ASTORIA — Portland, Oregonbased rock group The Quick & Easy Boys, which blends garage-pop, psychedelic rock, and funky R&B to create its brand of rock ‘n’ roll, is celebrating the release of its third full-length album, “Make It Easy.” Comprised of Sean Badders on vocals and bass, Jimmy Russell on vocals and guitar, Michael Goetz on vocals and
drums, the power trio creates a sound that goes against the grain but finds everyone dancing and partying. Bottom line, it’s just rock ‘n’ roll. “It’s Jimi Hendrix meets The Police playing at a house party hosted by The Minutemen,” said Badders, describing the band’s sound. If that description sounds far-fetched or strange, you
haven’t heard the Quick & Easy Boys. Following 2008’s “Bad Decisions with Good People” and 2010’s “Red Light Rabbit,” “Make It Easy” is the band’s most cohesive and melodic album to date, which also happens to be its most rocking as well. “We have continued to grow as songwriters and musicians, which has lead to a more dynamic and unique Quick & Easy Boys’ pop-rock sound on this album,” Badders said. The band will perform at the Fort George Brewery, located

his time of year is great for planting things like shrubs and fruit trees because it’s cool out and the ground is moist. Planting peas as well as the leafy veggies like lettuce and spinach are encouraged. It is too early to start your peppers and tomatoes. Prepare your garden by weeding the beds. You can also mulch around your home. This will help your plants retain water during the hot summer.

Five Minutes With... MARIE POWELL
Born and raised: I was born in Seattle and grew up just east of Kent, Wash. Lives now: Ilwaco, Wash., where I also own and operate my art gallery and printmaking studio. I’ve lived and worked on the Long Beach Peninsula for 43 years. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your work? I work in a variety of mediums including soft pastel, acrylic, oil and mixed media. However, the last few years I’ve studied the art of printmaking and now devote all of my creative time to producing one-
of-a-kind original works of art called “monotypes.” These are created with oil-based inks on a plexi-plate, and then printed on fine art papers using a large etching press. At the present time I show my work at: Gallery 903 in Portland; RiverSea Gallery in Astoria; Just Imagine Gallery in Bay of Islands, Russell, New Zealand; and Marie Powell’s Shoalwater Cove Gallery in Ilwaco, Wash. How would you describe your artistic style? My artistic style, which has evolved with my immersion into the monotype printmak-

ing process, is total abstraction with high energy and emotional content, and vivid contrast in color and value using layering techniques. These works of art often are created by printing three or four layers, one over the other, and each containing drawings that are maps of my life experience: people, places, relationships, emotions and eras. You double as an artist and gallery owner. Is that challenging? Rewarding? It’s so challenging that it’s almost impossible to do both. Because I am so absorbed in the printmkaing studio each day, thankfully, my husband, Randy, takes on most of the gallery operation duties. Otherwise, I don’t think I could do justice to both endeavors. It’s very rewarding to be able to meet the people who purchase my art! And I think it works both ways: The customers enjoy having a connection with the artist who created the work they own. Over the last 20 years that I’ve had my own gallery, I’ve been fortunate to get to know hundreds of wonderful people who have supported my art career. It’s great! You travel to New Zealand often. What is your favorite spot? Even though it’s a relatively small country, New Zealand is very diverse in climate and landscape as well as culture and lifestyle. It’s very international – in any small neighborhood there always seems to be many different nationalities represented. I’ve travelled quite extensively around New Zealand, and my favorite area is the Bay of Islands. This is on the northeast coast of the North Island. It’s subtropical, it’s landscape is gorgeous, it’s residents have a relaxed, happy attitude, and it’s home to a vibrant artist community. What do you enjoy most about living at the coast? I enjoy the freedom to get out into the environment and enjoy the natural beauty and solitude of our beaches, bays, hiking trails and parks. I also enjoy the vibrant activity of a tourist area that comes alive during the summer months.
Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce Palette Puddlers to hold Memorial Day art show and sale CANNON BEACH — The Palette Puddlers’ annual Memorial Day weekend art show and sale will be held 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday to Monday, May 24 to 27 at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, 207 N. Spruce St. Admission and refreshments are free. In addition, artists will be providing demonstrations of their particular art style throughout the weekend. It’s possible that you could find something “just created” to purchase. The Palette Puddlers are a group of professional women artists, many of whom have painted together for years. Every Monday, rain or shine, they paint in a Cannon Beach locale. During their weekly painting meetings they provide support, critique artistic efforts and share the joy of creativity, as well as just have a great time. Three times a year – Memorial Day and Labor Day Weekends and at the Stormy Weather Arts Festival in November – they create an art gallery at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Information Center to share and sell their original art works. Members Louise Birkenfeld, Susan Bish, Betty Brower, Sheila Brown, Patricia Button, Judith Fredrikson, Jo PomeroyCrockett, Mary Ann Gantenbein, Ireta Sitts Graube, Debbie Janssen, Susan Thomas and Ellen Zimet will be showing and selling original works of art including watercolor, lino-block prints, acrylics, mixed media, oils, pastels and fine jewelry. Cards and some print reproductions are also available. Many of these artists show their work in other venues in the Northwest. Last year, the group designed a beautiful calendar showing one picture per month from each member of the group. Almost all sold, and the few that are left will be on sale for $7 each. The 2014 calendar will be available
