Black Lake, the old reservoir for the city of Ilwaco, is stocked with rainbow trout.

Paul Dueber to share music at history center New exhibit ‘From the Vault’ offers local history gems CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum will welcome local musician Paul Dueber for a concert at 7 p.m. Friday, May 27.

Dueber has been performing locally for decades.

He bought his current Guild 12-string guitar at Portland Music when he got out of the Marines in 1968. Dueber sings songs in the tradition of Peter, Paul and Mary, *RUGRQ /LJKWIRRW DQG 3DXO Simon. He has played for the Stormy Weather Arts Festival, at the Coaster Theatre for the Songwriters’ Hootenanny, as well as regu-

larly at the Bistro restaurant in Cannon Beach.

Beyond music at concerts, pubs, galleries and restaurants in town, Dueber has been instrumental in encouraging entertainers in public spaces like Sandpiper Square, where he and his wife, Margo, have long owned businesses.

That a guy who thinks he sounds best alone in a dark room should take so passionately to public performance is the result of his long and happy career in local theater.

At the event, the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum wil also open its latest exhibit, “From the Vault,� which features unusual and little-known bits of history of Cannon Beach. From the

Ric and read poems that they think he would like to hear — any style, any subject, any mood, with a time limit of ¿ve minutes — or come to listen. Planning for the future of the poetry event will follow the open mic.

Vrana was known among Northwest writers as a founder in the 1980s of the long-running Red Sky Poetry Theater in Seattle. For a decade he was a frequent reader at poetry events in Portland, both at open mic and as a featured reader.

NEHALEM — Musician Jim Dorman will present an evening of inventive songs on Saturday, May 28, treating audiences to a concert packed with music and laughter at the North County Recreation District’s Performing Arts Center.

Dorman’s story is captivating in itself. The musician has a professional background as a juggler and lighting designer, but when two degenerative retinal disorders began to affect his vision at age 19, his sight began to steadily decline.

Because of his vision loss, Dorman turned to music, developing improvisation skills, a passion for imagination, and a love of listening.

His music is steeped in exploration and discovery; and this enthusiasm for creativity is contagious.

Now, Dorman has collected his music into this solo, evening-length performance. Each song is a landscape of sound overÀowing with melodies, harmonies and unexpected twists. Playing with rhythm and harmony, his music captures the imagination.

Jim Dorman will lead a oneman musical adventure May 28 at the NCRD Performing Arts Center in Nehalem.

“Listeners will get a sense of how amazing and fascinating the world is,” says Dorman. “Audiences will leave the show inspired, excited, ready for new adventures.”

Audiences hear inventive tunes on a diverse selection of instruments; from harp guitar and baritone guitar, to Japanese Koto. While Dorman’s style has hints of Leo Kottke and Andy Mckee, his tunes have an originality that set them apart.

The show starts at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 per person. Tickets are available from Brown Paper Tickets at http://bpt.me/2505457 or at the door.

PHOTO BY RICH FURY/INVISION/AP, FILE

Julian Fellowes’ “Doctor Thorne,� a four-part series on Amazon, debuted May 20 with Tom Hollander in the title role.

Fellowes: There is something about Trollope’s voice that I have always found very appealing. He has a kind of mercy, a sort of non-judgmental quality which actually I find very modern. None of his characters are all bad or all good, they’re somewhere in the middle. And even his heroines make mistakes, which in Dickens you never get. Trollope’s women are real, and I find that very beguiling.

AP: How is “Gilded Age� coming along?

Fellowes: I’m trying to clear my decks of everything else, because when I start ‘Gilded Age’ I don’t want to be writing it with three other things going on at the same time. At the moment, I’m up to my neck in research. It is extraordinary, the whole business of 1880s New York, this amazing city rising up, this city of the rich, as they build their great (homes) up Fifth Avenue. ... This life that established itself in the 1870s, ‘80s, ‘90s, it was like nothing the world had seen. ... These huge fortunes in the days before income tax, suddenly springing up everywhere.

AP: You’ve done several popular projects set in earlier periods. What is the appeal for you and the audience?

Fellowes: I also enjoy

doing contemporary stuff, I enjoyed ‘School of Rock.’ But there is something about letting people understand that people in the past were just men and women with ambitions and emotions that are much the same as our own. Obviously, in a different social context or slightly different political system, but nevertheless the impulses that made them get up in the morning, made them cry or laugh, were much the same as with us. When I was young, there was a tendency to teach history as if these people were sort of alien and they didn’t have the same impulses as us, which I think is very misleading.

AP: Is a “Downtown Abbey� movie, which has been discussed, still possible?

Fellowes: I think it would be a good idea and I think it would be fun for the audience. As far as I’m concerned, I’m in. But I’m not the one who makes the decision. We have a pretty good idea of what we’d make the film about.

AP: You started out acting before becoming a sought-after writer. How would you rate yourself on-screen?

Fellowes: Someone once asked me, ‘Would you rather have won an Oscar as an actor?’ My reply: No one offered me one as an actor. In the end, your life is partly what you make of it. It’s also partly what you make of what it is. ... If you keep saying, ‘I don’t want to be a dancer, I want to be a singer,’ then you bat away your own good luck.

AP: Have you wondered why you had to vie for a Tony in the year of “Hamilton�?

Fellowes: The truth of the matter is I have a Tony nomination, which I never thought I’d have. Sufficient unto the day.

FOR THREE DAYS ON WASHINGTON’S LONG BEACH PENINSULA, BARGAINS ABOUND

By LYNETTE RAE McADAMS

Tom Miller tinkers with an old Coleman lantern, tightening the top and adjusting the bail before setting it on the “man table,” with an assortment of other camping items and small tools. “It pays to put this kind of thing out in the open,” he says, “where it can be seen from the road. The ladies will always park and walk in for a closer look, but if the guys can’t see what they’re after with just a drive-by, there’s no hope of reeling them in.”

From the other end of the yard, where she is still pricing the last of a box of items, his wife, Sharon, holds up a small bag of lug nuts. “What do you want for these?” she asks him.

“Honey, just put a dollar on them.”

She thinks for a second. “I want to put $1.95.”

“What is this,” he asks, his voice an equal measure of affection and teasing, “Fred Meyer?”

She laughs out loud, then settles the matter for good, tagging the lot with a bright label: $1.65.

It’s just the sort of compromise you’d expect after 55 years of marriage, but for the Millers (and countless others up and down Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula), it’s also something more: practice for the upcoming World’s Longest Garage Sale — three full days of recycled capitalism at its very ¿nest — where every turn of the 28-mile road brings another opportunity to barter your way to a bargain.

Hundreds (that’s right, hundreds) of sales will once again dot neighborhoods, parking

Hers: When it comes to garage sales, neatness counts! Clean, reasonably priced, nicely displayed items make it easy on the buyer.

lots and sidewalks throughout the Memorial Day weekend, all participating in what’s become a favorite local tradition for 20 years running. Completely unsanctioned, unsponsored, and unof¿cial, this now famous grass roots “event” attracts thousands of people to the beach each year, wielding small bills and large vehicles, breathless to sort through piles of gently used furniture, books, antiques, household items, tools, clothing and unnecessary plastic objects of every kind, all with the hope of turning someone else’s trash into treasure.

“I enjoy it every year,” says Tom Miller, who admits his favorite part is visiting with repeat customers who seek out the Millers’ sale time and time again. “It’s neighbors and families, all out together — it’s just a whole lot of fun.”

And he’s absolutely right, it is. But with so many sales vying for attention — from Ilwaco all the way to Oysterville — it can

also be more than a little overwhelming.

Dear reader, fear not: Whether you’re a buyer on the prowl for a deal on a NordicTrack, or a seller needing to ofÀoad their supply of macrame plant hangers, the following tips are sure to help you navigate this one, long, fabulous weekend, full of friendly supply and demand.

IF YOU’RE BUYING…

Mind your manners: Most sales run Friday through Sunday, from 9 or 10 a.m. until about 4 or 5 p.m. Please don’t show up early or start knocking on doors during off hours (it doesn’t matter that you’ve realized you can’t live without that blue-ribboned goose utensil holder you saw earlier in the day; you had your chance, move on).

Strategize: With sales literally left and right, it helps to plan a route, particularly if you’re in it for the long haul. Check the extra fat section of classi¿eds in the Chinook

His: Tools and machinery (known as “man stuff ” in garage sale parlance), are always good sellers.

Observer for any novelty items, and map your day around those specialty sales. Also, consider your timing: Shopping earlier in the day gives you more selection, but later hours usually yield better deals.

Embrace change: Have a reserve of small bills and a few coins at the ready. If you’re in the market for big-ticket items, load up on the cash, as very few sellers will accept a personal check. (And whatever you do, please don’t barter that 75-cent Snoopy Christmas brooch all the way down to a quarter, only to end up paying for it with a $20 bill. Serious garage sale faux pas…)

Barter better: We all love a bargain, but there’s a ¿ne line between tactful and tacky.

Know how much you’re willing to pay for an item before you start bidding, and be fair — don’t just haggle for fun. Consider buying in bulk and asking for a discount.

Versatile little deli serves robust offerings Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

S

ome months ago I received a letter from a reader, imploring me to visit the deli at Manzanita’s Little Apple market. They said it Zas pretty special. 6o, ¿nally, I went to see for myself.

Of course, I’d been to the Little Apple before, for groceries and whatnot, even before I’d moved to the North Coast. And I’d always found it rather charming, a throwback to what I imagine markets were like before the Safeways of the world took over, offering 400 varieties of cereal, 50-packs of toilet paper, and those infernal, ever-malfunctioning self-checkout machines.

The Little Apple, conversely, does a lot with a little, cramming a remarkable amount of product into the relatively small space. Up and down thin aisles, foodstuffs are stacked from Àoor to ceiling.

The deli is no exception — there’s a lot in that compact corner: a cold case with vegetable and pasta salads, house-prepared and pre-packaged meats, cheeses, soups and so on. There’s a hot case too, with dishes made in and out of house, as well as sandwiches made to order and a few baked goods. As I thumbed around, peering in the cases, making room for other customers passing by, I was greeted by a number of jovial, good-natured young adults who, between jokes, seemed proud — or at least fond — of the offerings.

I began by ordering a sandwich, ¿lling out a little card, checking off the boxes: rye bread, pastrami, Swiss cheese, mustard, mayo and all the veggies. ³:ow,´ I blurted as the ¿nished sandwich was handed to me.

“It’s huge!”

“That’s that kind of response we like to hear!” the clerk said.

Indeed, it was a heck of a

sandwich. This sandwich was so big it bullied other sandwiches in high school. This sandwich is so big it wears a mumu. This sandwich is so big its friends call it “tiny.”

O.K., O.K., enough.

But really, a big deal for $5.95. The veggies were fresh and crisp, the pastrami salty and briny, and the ratios right on. I also liked the thin bread, though that might’ve been a product of the sandwich’s resting weight smooshing it down.

At a clerk’s suggestion, I tried the Spanish Rice from the hot case. It was heavy and a pretty reasonable amount of food ($3.95/ small). Seasoned primarily with tomato and pepper, dotted with black olives and chunks of beef meatballs and a few bell peppers, it was robustly simple. (It deserves mention that, at Little Apple, “smalls” aren’t small — they’re lunch-sized.)

The Baby Back Ribs too caught my eye, but I was foolish to take them from the cold case for a picnic. The sauce was tomatoes and not overly sweet, but at approximately $4 for two ribs (at $9.99/lb), a bit spendy. The Curry Chicken ($9.99/lb) made more sense cold. With cranberries,

And, hey, though I like a bargain, I’m no stooge. Add one of the Little Apple’s home-made cookies for a buck and you’ve got dessert. The macadamia nut variety were thin and buttery, the oatmeal raisins were soft and familiar.

Each time the register rung up my bounty I was surprised at the low total, for these were good deals by any standard, particularly in the midst of a tourist town with limited options. As such, Little Apple’s deli is like a Swiss army knife, ideal for a picnic at the beach, a house party spread, family dinner or a quick, working lunch. The selection is broad enough to serve all tastes, with everything from kale salads to corn dogs.

Palette Puddlers to hold annual Memorial Day art show and sale CANNON BEACH — The Palette Puddlers’ annual Memorial Day weekend art show and sale will be held at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, located at 207 N. Spruce St. The hours will be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, May 27; Saturday, May 28; and Sunday, May 29. The art show will also be open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Monday, May 30.

Admission and refreshments are free. In addition, artists will be providing on-going demonstrations of their particular art style throughout the weekend. It’s possible that YLVLWRUV FRXOG ¿QG VRPHWKLQJ “just created” to purchase.

The Palette Puddlers are a group of professional women artists, many of who have painted together for years. Every Monday, rain or shine, they

paint in a Cannon Beach locale.

During their weekly painting meetings, they provide mutual support, critique artistic efforts and share the joy of creativity, as well as just have a great time.

Throughout the year, they create an art gallery and sell their original art works.

This is a year of change for the group. There has been a loss of some members due to illness, death and relocation. Additionally, the group may not be able to continue presenting their work at the Cannon Beach visitor center other than for Memorial Day weekend. But this intrepid group of professional artists will continue.

The members this year who will be showing and demonstrating their art include Susan Bish, Judith Fredrikson, Mary

The evening will also include Pearl Harbor survivor Ed Johann. The event is held in conjunction with a photographic exhibit of images from the OBON Society depicting the story of the Yosegaki Hinomaru that will be displayed in the library May 25 to June 30.

carried with him and carefully guarded. It was called a Yosegaki Hinomaru. When American soldiers discovered that every Japanese soldier carried these Àags, they became highly prized treasures of war and were brought back to the U.S. After 70 years, many U.S. veterans and their children realize these battle¿eld souvenirs are personal items and want them to be returned to their rightful owners in the spirit of peace and reconciliation. They send the Àags to the OBON Society, which conducts a search across Japan through a network of priests, scholars and government agencies. When the family is found, the article is returned at no cost. These Àags, for most Japanese families, are the only surviving trace of their husband, brother, son or father.

Oregon grape flowers in spring with showy clusters of bright yellow blossoms, followed by plump berries of dark blue.

Mahonia aquafolium Oregon grape

By LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS

A true native to the American West, Oregon grape flourishes along the Pacific Coast from southeast Alaska to northern California, thriving in the understory of the dense forests of the Northwest.

An evergreen shrub averaging 3 feet tall and 5 feet wide, it is easily mistaken for holly, as its dark, glossy green leaves wear prickly spines that are sharp to the touch.

A member of the barberry family, Mahonia aquafolium flowers in mid-to-late spring with showy clusters of bright yellow blossoms, followed by plump berries of dark blue, which can resemble Concord grapes. Though incredibly (incredibly) tart,

the berries are edible, and were a valuable part of an indigenous diet, especially

when mixed with sweeter offerings, like huckleberry and salal.

Medicinally, the plant has a long history of use.

Native cultures used it to cleanse the blood, treat infection, and ease digestive troubles, and modern herbalists continue to prize its roots and stems for the alkaloid they now recognize as berberine — a strong anti-microbial and liver stimulant that can be used both internally and externally to treat a variety of illnesses and conditions, including psoriasis and amoebic dysentery.

In February of 1806, Merriwether Lewis catalogued the plant in his journal, along with a description, referring to it as “mountain holly”; he even carried a specimen home on his return journey. Later, pioneers along the Oregon Trail used it as both medicine and food, helping M. aquafolium earn its place as Oregon’s state flower, an honor bestowed on it in 1899.

Tony, an Astoria High School student, shreds it on stage during a field trip performance at St. Helens High School.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE

By MATT LOVE

St. Helens High School and the Rock Zone Tony’s face instantly changed. Thirty seconds earlier, playing electric guitar on stage, his visage had appeared normal. He was still playing, but something had transformed him. I could see it plainly.

He and his band mate were kicking off a lunchtime show at St. Helens High School in front of 50 teenage strangers — not an easy audience to please — and this was Tony’s first

gig outside the friendly confines of Astoria High School’s monthly open mic event, Astoria Hi-Fi, held in my classroom.

A teaching friend of mine from St. Helens invited my 10-student crew to headline their Friday Lunch Live event.

We accepted and rode the magic bus eating sugar cookies and listening to Stevie Wonder and Prince on cassette to get pumped for the show.

Up there, under the lights, Tony wasn’t merely winning over the

2911 2911 Marine Marine i Dr Dr #B Astoria, OR 97103 503 791-2466

audience; he was slaying them with supercharged crunchy riffs. He looked gone, almost beatific, shredding, shaking his head, moving around.

A smile came over me, and I nodded. I knew what Tony’s countenance meant.

I’d seen it before — he was in the rock zone, an existential state similar to checking into the Eagles’“Hotel California.”

Once you get in, don’t ever expect to leave.

I doubt Tony will ever leave. With his guitar, he’d recently discovered a passion, perhaps the one true passion in his life, and that’s my dream for every student who attends high school. It could be trigonometry or it could be rescuing dogs. They just to need to find one.

They call Tony’s passion rock ’n’ roll, and it’s not quite dead yet.
