Psychology professor Richard Powers will discuss his first novel, about Chinese fish cannery workers in 1886, at Tillamook Library.

TILLAMOOK — Richard Powers hosts an evening discussion on the writing and publishing of his novel, “The Astoria Chinatown Conspiracy,” at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 11, at the Tillamook County Library, 1716 Third St. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. for this free event and refreshments will be served. Powers is a semi-retired psychology professor who still teaches a course in conflict resolution at Portland State University. He has a lifelong interest in studying cooperation and in helping students learn to see the world through the eyes of the “other.” After retiring to the Oregon Coast, Powers discovered the importance of the Chinese immigrant to the Pacific Northwest fishing industry. He also learned how the Chinese struggled to work and live in America, aka

Gum Shan (Gold Mountain), amid a climate of discrimination and hatred. Many Oregonians have never heard of the Chinese Exclusion Acts (in effect from 1882 to 1943) or of the repression of the Chinese worker during this period in America’s history. “The Astoria Chinatown Conspiracy” shows what life might have been like for the Chinese cannery worker during 1886, one of the worst years for the Chinese in the Pacific Northwest. When not writing fiction, Powers enjoys tennis, clogging and walking Oregon’s beautiful beaches with his wife, Elki. This is his first novel. Copies of the novel will be for sale after the program. Call the library at (503) 8424792 for more information.

ew years bring new adventures, and 2012 is looking highly adventurous indeed for our family. We have four major trips on the calendar, lots of personal goals to achieve, some home renovation to finish ... ... and we got a pig. We’d been talking about having a pig for a pet for some time now, but had agreed that we’d wait until the dog and the cat had both shuffled off this mortal coil before we brought one home. Plus, we were eyeing the teeny tiny teacup kind – there’s a breeder in Yachats – Ziggy Strecker that’s supposed to stay as small as 30 pounds. But, there we were at my mother-in-law’s house in La Grande on Christmas Day, and the last present to be opened was a large, loosely wrapped box that she set down before us. Our first thought was, “Oh goody, the wireless printer we’ve been wanting!” – until we noticed the holes cut in the sides of the box. Red flag. I untaped the paper on top and unfolded the flaps – and there was a 25-day-old piglet, rooting around in the blankets lining the cardboard bottom. (She’d been well-cared for by our cousin until just a few minutes before being brought out in the box.) I shrieked from the magnitude of the surprise, and my husband Tom was simultaneously awash in disbelief that his mother would do such a thing and melting

with love at first sight for the pig. “Ziggy” is a potbellied pig, and if she had a broad muzzle instead of her black-tipped pink snout, she’d look exactly like a miniature hippopotamus. She’s already paper-trained and will let you know with squeals and agitation when she needs to go. She enjoys warm laps and hates to be lifted off the ground. We’ve been learning all we can about pig care and behavior. Apparently they don’t get along with staircases; that will require some interesting modifications to where all three animals can eat and sleep in our three-story house. We’ll need to monitor her food in-

In 1975, Bryant formed her own company, with her first clients being “Sesame Street” and ABC Television. Innovative animation techniques using clay, food, gravel, live worms and oil paint led to her winning gold and silver medals at the International Film Festival in New York City. She received a commission to create a 40-inch oil painting of Disney’s first cruise ship, the Disney Magic. “Photomorphosis,” a unique blending of painting and photography in a multi-step process she had developed, resulted in her winning “best of show” and first place ribbons in Los Angeles area competitions. Owner of Paradise Productions in Astoria, Bryant is a commercial and portrait photographer, videographer and visual artist. Her Paradise Productions working studio and gallery, located at 5115 Birch St. on the Columbia River, is open by appointment. Contact Bryant at (503) 325-3933 or chrisbryant@charter.net

Coho-ho Christmas Tree recycling planned to benefit local Boy Scouts and fish SEASIDE — The Necanicum Watershed Council is teaming up with Trout Unlimited, local Boy Scout Troop 642 and the North Coast Land Conservancy in a fundraiser to serve multiple purposes. The Boy Scouts will be earning money for summer camp while collecting Christmas trees to be used as salmon habitat. If you have a Christmas tree you’d like to dispose of, the Scouts will be at the Seaside Outlet Mall, located on U.S. Highway 101 at 11th Street, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Jan. 7 and 8. The Scouts will collect trees for a $4 donation per tree dropped off, or $5 per tree picked up. To arrange a tree pickup, call (503) 717-9563. All Christmas trees must be bare and free of ornaments, decorations and tinsel, and cannot be flocked. Once collected, the Necanicum Watershed Council and the NCLC will place the trees in some of their projects and let nature take its course. Within a few days of being placed in the water, the branches will become covered with algae, which attracts aquatic insects and ultimately salmon. The trees should provide food and also cover from predators for about five years. The Necanicum Watershed Council is a nonprofit organization made up of community volunteers who work to ensure that the watershed is healthy, functioning and sustainable. For more information about this and other Necanicum Watershed Council programs, contact Melyssa Graeper, NWC Coordinator, at (503) 717-1458 or visit www.necanicumwatershed.org

NEHALEM — The first art show of 2012 at the North County Recreation District gallery will be “Lori Dillon and Friends.” Invited by the gallery’s coordinator and NCRD employee Steve Turnsen last January, Dillon decided to make her show an annual event. The second annual show promises to be a bright, enthusiastic and diversified display featuring three local artists, with the theme “Art: Near and Far.” Lynn Thomas will provide photography, focusing on a trip to Glacier National Park. Manzanita artist Tom McCallum will offer his self-described “stained glass, spider webs, and

similar to ours, but the environment is a little more extreme,” said Dillon, who works in a variety of mediums. A “Meet the Artists” event is set for Friday, Jan. 13, from 5 to 7 p.m. “All three of us will be there, along with refreshments and cheer,” said Dillon. “We’re looking forward to talking to people about your art, our art and anything else art-related they would like to talk about.” The NCRD building is located at 36155 Ninth St. If you’re dropping kids off at the pool, attending yoga or other classes, take time to stop by NCRD’s gallery room during January.

Where is the mystery woman?

Portland’s Arnica Quartet performs world-class chamber music ASTORIA — The intimacy of chamber music will christen 2012 in the McTavish Room of the Liberty Theater at 2 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 8. In a return engagement, the Arnica Quartet will play works by Mozart, Dvorak and Benjamin Britten. Arnica’s Astoria concert of Beethoven quartets last March drew an enthusiastic audience of upwards of 60. The January concert will feature Mozart’s Quartet in C major, the “Dissonant;” Dvorak’s Quartet in F major, the “American;” and Britten’s String Quartet No. 1 in D major, Op. 25 (1941). Arnica Quartet is composed of four leading musicians from Portland. They are violinists ShinYoung Kwon and Fumino Ando, violist Charles Noble and cellist Heather Blackburn. Of the “Dissonant” Quartet’s finale, Noble says: “Mozart takes a stultifyingly simple (even simplistic) theme and turns it into a joyful, energetic, and witty dance. The energy simply builds and builds until one of Mozart’s most joyful quartets comes to its ecstatic conclusion.” Noble refers to the Dvorak quartet as his “most loved and well-known. It was composed during the summer of 1893 in the

small northeastern Iowa town of Spillville. Based predominantly upon the pentatonic scale (using only the black keys on a piano, for example), it has an open, folksy feel that is particularly evocative of America’s native musical styles.” The American philanthropist Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge commissioned the Britten quartet. Noble writes: “At the work’s East Coast premiere in Washington, D.C., Britten was awarded the Library of Congress’ medal for service to chamber music in recognition of the piece’s excellence.” Tickets are $25. They are avaiable at the Liberty Theater Box Office (503-325-5922, ext. 55 or 800-992-8499). Tickets may also be purchased online at www.ticketswest.com

Cannon Beach Gallery Gallery art show goes green for January CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Gallery will open its first juried show of the year Saturday, Jan. 7, with an artist reception from 6 to 8 p.m. “The Green Show” will be curated by Manzanita artist Susan C. Walsh, painter and printmaker. The free public reception will feature light appetizers and libations along with lively conversation and interesting art. The theme of “green” has been left open for artists to interpret and will feature art in many mediums, both traditional and nontraditional. The juried show program at the Cannon Beach Gallery is one of the unique offerings of the Cannon Beach Arts Association (CBAA), which manages the gallery as part of its nonprofit venture. Any artist, whether emerging or professional, is able to submit

artwork to the juried shows at the gallery. The artworks featured in the shows are then selected by a guest juror before being hung by members of the Gallery Committee. There are many regional artists who got their start at the Cannon Beach Gallery in a juried show. The CBAA has initiated a new Gallery Sponsorship Program for 2012, in which an individual or business sponsors a month-long exhibit. “The Green Show” is being sponsored by Western Oregon Waste. “The Green Show” will run from Jan. 7 to 31. The Cannon Beach Gallery is located at 1064 S. Hemlock St. in midtown and is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays.

Check back in February for “Playing With (more than) a Full Deck,” a collaborative project with featured artist Liz Cohn. For two years, Cohn has been making art on playing cards, most of which were mailed to more than 150 artists all over the world for them to alter and add to in any medium. The resulting collection is more than 1,000 collaborative small works of unique art. This show will highlight her collection and include a juried component in which artists are encouraged to make their own “playing card” of approxmately 2.5 by 3.5 inches. Since 1986, the Cannon Beach Arts Association has provided programs and opportunities that enhance and support the arts in Cannon Beach and the surrounding community. The CBAA is a nonprofit

multidisciplinary arts organization run almost entirely by volunteers, allowing more than 97 percent of its budget to go directly to a wide variety of programs, including a children’s summer art camp, scholarships for high school seniors, a $3,000 individual artist grant and the Cannon Beach Gallery. The Cannon Beach Arts Association programs are all funded through members’ contributions, and grants from business, foundations and government agencies. For more information, contact the Cannon Beach Arts Association at (503) 436-0744, or P.O.

Brad Hill, owner of Discover Paragliding in Warrenton with his wife Maren Ludwig, snapped the shot that viewers on coastweekend.com voted as their favorite and contest judges awarded second place. And Astoria’s Rachel Lertora, 14, took third place with her photo of a spiderweb heavy with early morning dew.

Anyone for bridge? Strategies, tips and local events “The American Contract Bridge League has put out a series of mini-articles called Bridge Bites,” says local bridge teacher and club director Sue Kroning. “This is one of those.” Find a calendar of area games and lessons at the end of this story. You are Declarer in a contract of six hearts. West leads the ♥A. Plan the play. ♠ T854 ♥ ♦ KQJT52 ♣ AKQ Dummy ♠ J96 ♥ A9543 ♦ 63 ♣ T43

West

East Declarer

♠3 ♥ KQJT76 ♦ A98 ♣ 962

♠ AKQ72 ♥ 82 ♦ 74 ♣ J875 Declarer ruffs that ♥A opening lead and, without pausing for thought, cashes the ♠A and ♠K. When East shows out on the second round of trumps, Declarer ponders awhile (it’s a bit late now!) before realizing that “Oops!” and not “Yippee!” is the appropriate exclamation. Yes, indeed, Declarer has goofed mightily. What went wrong? At first glance, making this slam just seemed too easy, but even so Declarer needed to plan his whole campaign before charging into battle. It was a mistake to draw two rounds of trumps right

away, as now Declarer could not draw the last trump (that would have let the defense score a Heart and a Diamond). Trying to escape that grisly fate, he ruffed a Heart on the board and exited with the ♦K. But that didn’t work, either. East won the ♦A and returned a Diamond which had to be won in Dummy. Now Declarer had no way back to his hand to draw that last enemy trump. He led a third round of Diamonds but, when East followed to the third round, Declarer knew that his goose is cooked. Whether he ruffed high or low, West’s ♠J would score a trick. Down one! What was the winning line? Of course, the correct play was to ruff the opening Heart lead, cross to the ♠A, ruff another Heart, and then draw trumps. That would the time for yippeeing, Trick 1 was the time for thinking. The winning idea on this slam was realization that the only entries back to Declarer’s hand were in the trump suit and that it was therefore necessary to delay drawing trumps until after the second Heart ruff had been taken.
