Carrying bag after bag, box after box, down to the car. Repeat. I moved apartments recently. Just a few blocks away, but it was a process. Filling a weekend with walking up and down stairs, carrying heavy objects, cleaning like crazy and trying to create some semblance of order to it all doesn’t exactly give you much downtime between the end of one work week and the beginning of the next.

Do you like your dressing stuffed, or simply on the side? Somehow, this range of subtle differences in taste and texture comes faithfully together, moving loved ones successfully through the start of another holiday season.

Or maybe youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the type who likes to sleep off their turkey, preferring a quiet coaxing down the inevitable road toward Christmas. Whichever is your pleasure, this year the best of both worlds converge at two local indoor markets sure to satisfy any holiday style or schedule.

Naquaiya is known for her scratch art, a fascinating technique that involves both painting in layers and scratching paint off to reveal beautiful combinations of color and line drawing. As art booster, Cozby says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Anything Michele puts her hand to, she can do.â&#x20AC;? Cozby herself will be offering a treat to tour visitors. She is an outstanding photographer, and if you bring your cell phone in to her shop and send her one of your favorite photos, Cozby will tweak it in an interesting way and send it back to you. No charge.

Free to all
In fact, worth noting is that the entire tour is free. All you need is a map of the studios and these can be picked up at a variety of places (see locations list this page) or in the Nov. 27 issue of the Chinook Observer. PAA is a community resource that has been supporting the arts on the Long Beach Peninsula since 1970. Its mission, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to encourage, stimulate, support and promote creative expression by individuals, groups and community,â&#x20AC;? has been a guiding force in the many PAA programs. Though this studio tour is free, there are many PAA fundraising events that go toward supporting a scholarship program for a selected high school graduate from the Naselle, Grays River or Ocean Beach school districts. This annual scholarship is awarded based on grade point average, references, a letter of interest regarding the studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s art and a complete artwork portfolio. In addition, PAA creates many art enrichment programs for the community, including the Old Fashioned 4th of July Parade, Community

Christmas Ornaments, Santaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Workshop, the Long Beach Summerfest Program, Starving Artists Sale, and art-related projects in the schools. PAA has also administered and judged the Garlic Festival poster contest and handled poster sales for the last four years. As Cozby says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We strive to bring the joy of art to as many people as possible through our exhibitions, demonstrations and art events. Our enrichment program is always changing to coincide with the skills and talents of our membership and the needs of our community.â&#x20AC;? If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to consider joining the group, the annual membership fees are a reasonable $30 for an individual with an in-home studio and $50 for a retail shop or business.
One lively aspect of the tour is the many hands-on activities that the artists prepare for visitors.

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get to see a working studio that is also a shop, so you really experience a different side of art.â&#x20AC;? If that werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, the artists will also have munchies and refreshments for visitors. So put on your raincoats, walk off some of that turkey, and support our local artists.

Albatross New Astoria restaurant keeps it simple and cool

While in college I studied American literature intensely, and in particular, Ernest Hemingway. I wrote my thesis about him, in fact, and I have been waiting patiently for the day that my knowledge about the author would do more than contribute to the occasional, correct response while watching Jeopardy. Today is that day, and fortunately (or unfortunately) for you, you get to share it with me. Tough-guy posturing aside, Hemingway changed the style of American literature. While RWKHUV XVHG Ă&#x20AC; RZHU\ SURVH +HPLQJZD\ÂśV ZULWLQJ was stark and minimalist. His descriptions are unvarnished, his sentences short and declarative, his word choices austere.

On the evening I visited, I was greeted warmly by the owner himself, who walked me through the menu and answered all of my questions. I began with a salad of simple greens with Âż OEHUWV DQG YLQDLJUHWWH (YHU\WKLQJ VHUYHG DW $O batross is fresh, local and organic, and the salad greens had the bright, juicy intensity that only farm-fresh vegetables can offer.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: There is a meatless sandwich and a green salad, and other alternative options may become available as the menu changes with the seasons. DRINKS: A few soft drinks, house wines, an impressive and unusual selection of beer and hard cider, and pre-Prohibition cocktails.

Join free discussion on gender and society Lower Columbia Diversity Project hosts Jade Aguilar
ASTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Lower Columbia Diversity Project and Oregon Humanities invite the public to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mind the Gaps: How Gender Shapes Our Lives,â&#x20AC;? a free conversation with Jade Aguilar from 7 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 5 at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St. From the moment we are born, gender shapes every aspect of our lives: our interests, the opportunities available to us, and how we move through the world. In the 21st century, disparities among the genders still prevail, especially at the intersections of race, class, immigration status and geography. What can these disparities tell us about societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s values and priorities? How can we better understand the complexities of genderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s effects on our daily
lives and identities? Aguilar is an assistant professor of sociology and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and gender studies at Willamette University. Her broad areas of study are gender, sexuality and family, and her main area of focus is the study of intentional communities. This event is part of Oregon Humanitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; statewide Conversation Project. Through the Conversation Project, Oregon Humanities offers free programs that engage community members in thoughtful, challenging conversations about ideas critical to our daily lives and our stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future. The mission of the Lower Columbia Diversity Project is to engage proactively with diversity issues in the region, educate the community on the EHQHÂżWV RI GLYHUVLW\ WROHUDQFH and inclusion, and provide a forum through which individ-

Poetry Out Loud curriculum and present school-wide contests will advance one student to regional competitions in March 2014. The top three finishers from each region will compete at the state contest on March 15 in Salem. Oregon’s state champion will advance to the national finals scheduled for April 29 and 30 in Washington, D.C. Poetry Out Loud seeks to foster the next generation of literary readers by capitalizing on the latest trends in poetry – recitation and performance. The program builds on the resurgence of poetry as an oral art form, seen in the slam poetry movement and through the immense popularity of rap music. Poetry Out Loud invites the dynamic aspects of slam poetry, spoken word and theater into the English classroom. Through Poetry Out Loud, students can master public speaking skills, build self-confidence and learn about their literary heritage. “Poetry Out Loud allows students to share their love of poetry with other students from around the state,” says Deborah Vaughn, arts education coordinator. “Teachers are always pleasantly surprised by the deep impact of a program that is so simple to implement.”
Prizes for Poetry Out Loud
State champions receive $200 and an all-expensepaid trip to Washington, D.C. to compete for the national championship. The state champion’s school receives a $500 stipend for the purchase of poetry books. The runner-up in the state competition receives $100, with $200 for his or her school library. The national champion wins a $20,000 college scholarship; the first runner-up, $10,000; and the third runner-up, $5,000, with
additional money for the respective school libraries. In total, Poetry Out Loud awards $50,000 in scholarships and school stipends at the national finals.
How high schools can get involved with Poetry Out Loud
“My student made some mistakes in the process and came back with a desire to improve. My student had confidence in spades; what he gained was a humility we had never seen before. Besides that, he has poems in him that will be with him forever,” says art teacher Gayle Robertson of Oregon School for the Deaf. Poetry Out Loud requires less than three weeks of class time, and it can also be run as an after-school activity. Registration information for Oregon high schools is available online. For more information, contact Vaughn at 503-986-0085, or deborah. vaughn@state.or.us Free downloadable educational materials and additional resources are available at www.poetryoutloud.org

About the Oregon Arts Commission
The Oregon Arts Commission provides leadership, funding and arts programs through its grants, special initiatives and services. Nine commissioners, appointed by the governor, determine arts needs and establish policies for public support of the arts. The arts commission became part of the Oregon Economic and Community Development Department in 1993 in recognition of the expanding role the arts play in the broader social, economic and educational arenas of Oregon communities. In 2003, the Oregon legislature moved the operations of the Oregon Cultural Trust to the arts commission, streamlining operations and making use of the commission’s expertise in grantmaking, arts and cultural information and community cultural development. The commission is supported with general funds appropriated by the Oregon legislature, federal funds from the National Endowment for the Arts and funds from the Oregon Cultural Trust.

Five Minutes With ... LYNN THOMAS
This local artist and musician, born in Oakland, Calif., spent 25 years in Portland before moving to Nehalem five years ago. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never liked a blank canvas and loves to teach.
Our coastal landscape is often breathtakingly beautiful. What about it inspires you and your work? Each day I witness a rich and changing palette of textures, shapes and colors in our landscape from which to paint. The outline of mountain ranges, formidable rock formations, roaring seas, sacred oldgrowth trees and lush valleys are forever in my mindâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye. I am often seen with a camera in hand, capturing the mood of a particular landscape. The textures, movement, shapes and light from a photo inspire my deeper longing to communicate about a place through painting. Ultimately, I hope the viewer is drawn into my landscapes and, for a moment, can feel the glow of a sunset,

experience the ever-changing ocean, imagine the quiet of the marshlands, and, ultimately, appreciate the serenity of this remarkably beautiful place on the Oregon Coast. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your art? I currently work with acrylics. I only use five colors â&#x20AC;&#x201C; plus white â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and work with highly transparent and thinned paints. My sandscapes and landscapes are shown at White Bird Gallery in Cannon Beach, Trillium in Wheeler, and 4th Street Gallery in Manzanita. Tell me a little about your sandscape work. I start by immersing a canvas in Nehalem Bay waters, then use both the movement of my body and the tides to
add and remove sand from a canvas. I may make 20 â&#x20AC;&#x153;paintingsâ&#x20AC;? before being grabbed by a particular textural image. The image is set on site with polymer medium. Back in my studio, I look at these sandscapes for a long time before beginning to apply thinned layers of acrylic paint. Early layers absorb and disappear into the sand, creating a sense of depth and contrast to subse-
quent layers. I respond to the shapes I see and the feelings I have as I paint. This is a very quiet and meditative part of my painting experience. Why do you like painting on found wood? I need something to respond to when I paint. I never liked starting with a blank canvas in art school, but I do like reacting to textures, patinas and grains in old wood. Initial
upright bass in a local jazz group. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taught some art classes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where? What do you like about teaching? Teaching is my passion. I taught art classes through the continuing education program at Pacific Northwest College of Art, Young Audiences and Portland Waldorf schools; I offered combined art and music camps in my Portland home studio for four years and for five years at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita. I like watching a person discover their creative voice and then use that voice in other applications. I have participated in a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s struggle to read or comprehend principles in math through musical instruction. I have witnessed a child with emotional issues open up and take joy in their abilities to paint or draw. My students inspire me to be a better teacher, and I hope I can instill in them a life-long love of the arts and a desire to try their best.

Lynn Thomas, of Nehalem, creates sandscapes (above), paints on wood panels and is also an accomplished musician.
paint layers are absorbed into the wood, allowing a gradual build up of depth. People who have purchased my paintings have said they feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;soulful,â&#x20AC;? perhaps due to this slow building of color and form. What sparked your interest in art and how did you become an artist? I have always been creative. My mother was an artist, but she never encouraged my art. At age 48, I went to Marylhurst University near Portland to take a â&#x20AC;&#x153;fewâ&#x20AC;? art classes. Seven years later I finished my degree with an emphasis in printmaking (though I am no longer a printmaker). I hear youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also a musician. What instruments do you play? I grew up playing violin, then added viola-da-gamba and recorder in college. I have both a bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in music from UCLA. I played professionally in Los Angeles, in Portland and on the Oregon Coast. I have taught violin, cello, recorder and keyboard for 16 years and currently play
