ILWACO, Wash. — Six years ago, a small band of women from Ocean Beach Hospital Auxiliary decided to host a women’s-only get-together to discuss health concerns. They enlisted the support of several hospital employees, rounded up a handful of dollars for snacks and decorations and fashioned a one-hour educational presentation. It was a modest affair – a few lite bites, some handouts and an audience of about 30. They called it Women’s Heart to Heart. It has since grown into an annual event; last year, the forum drew a record crowd of nearly 200. This year, organizers are again expecting a full house. “Heart to Heart is an event that has taken on a life of its own,” said Denise Ross, diabetes educator at Ocean Beach Hospital. Ross has been involved with the event from its infancy. Its charm is the root of its success, added Deanna Duret, dietitian and diabetes educator at

Ocean Beach Hospital. “It’s a fun, nonthreatening approach that helps women connect and discuss deep issues. It’s a way to feel empowered and inspired, and maybe even learn something new.” Dr. Pam Law, a naturopath from Portland, will be one of three speakers at this year’s lunch, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3, at the Long Beach Elks Lodge, 110 N.

In addition to Law, other speakers will include Gwen Meyer, ARNP, from the Naselle Clinic; and Geri Marcus, Ocean Beach Hospital’s education man-

Seaside Public Library Library hosts filmmaker for February showing SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library welcome filmmaker Maria Brooks at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 9, as she shows her film “The Odyssey of Captain Healy” in conjunction with Black History Month. Refreshments will be served. The film tells the story of one of the U.S. Coast Guard’s most celebrated officers. Mike Healy, an ex-slave, represented law and order on the Alaska frontier. Patrolling the Arctic, Healy confronted Hell Ships and shanghaied sailors. He outran rum-runners, poachers and killers. But personal demons would prove to be Captain Healy’s most formidable challenge. Brooks has produced, written and directed nine historical documentaries appearing on PBS stations around the country. She has won more than a dozen national film awards, including a 2007 Emmy nomination for “outstanding achievement in documentary.” Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway.

Journalist Gabriel Thompson spent a year working alongside migrant and underpaid workers to research his book, "Working in the Shadows." PHOTO FROM WWW.WORKINGINTHESHADOWS.WORDPRESS.COM

Coastal Life Investigative journalist visits Astoria BY VALERIE RYAN

wo working journalists have brought us news about the labor force in America by going out and working in it and then writing about it. No ivory tower academics, these two got down in the trenches before they wrote. They are Barbara Ehrenreich, author of “Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America,” and Gabriel Thompson, who wrote “Working In The Shadows: A Year of Doing the Jobs (Most) Americans Won’t Do.” Ehrenreich did what millions of Americans do: She looked for a job and a place to live, worked that job and tried to make ends meet, on $6 to $7 an hour – not always successfully. In a yearlong investigation, Gabriel Thompson worked in the lettuce fields of Arizona, the poultry plants of Arkansas and then back home to Manhattan to work in a restaurant. These are definitely not glamour jobs; they are demanding, degrading, low-paying and earn little respect from bosses or anyone else. Thompson writes with great sensitivity and compassion about migrant workers, many of them skilled and intelligent, forced into repetitive and dangerous labor with no legal protection. He worked side by side with undocumented workers, shared their low wages, backbreaking work, bad treatment and also the friendship and camaraderie of those people who work in the shadows. He started his investigation by doing farm work in Yuma, Ariz., very close to the Mexican border. When he applied for the job, personnel tried to redirect him to office work or something more

suitable for a white, bilingual applicant. He had to push to get the job he wanted, cutting lettuce alongside immigrants in the fields. The company was better than some in that they were paid above minimum wage – $8.37 an hour; worker safety was a consideration; union membership was allowed; and employees were legal “guest workers” who crossed the border daily from Mexico. Even so, the work was extraordinarily hard; stoop labor as once performed by slaves, eight to 12 hours in the sun, bent over to pick iceberg lettuce. Thompson’s next job was at a chicken processing plant in Arkansas. He worked the graveyard shift, pulling chicken parts out of icy water and being paid $8.05 to $9.70 an hour. Many of his coworkers had to work another full-time job, leaving little time for any kind of a life, or for sleep. Health insurance was available to those who could come up with the premium. The repetitive nature of the work was hard on both the body and mind. Training included an exhortation to “go to church,” and watching anti-union videos. When there was an attempt to unionize, the workers voted it down because of fears that immigration would come after them if they unionized. As a reward for not unionizing, the workers were given a box of donuts. Thompson found that the poultry industry has a bad safety record, and lax government enforce-

ment allows for unsanitary processing. In addition, there was rhetoric about “those immigrants coming to steal your jobs.” Thompson was fired when it was discovered that he was a journalist. His next gig was doing deliveries for a plant shop in Manhattan, which is where he found the most labor violations: long hours, no breaks, pay below minimum wage (a 60-hour week for $5 an hour.) He was fired from that job because he had a good disposition! Apparently, a job requirement was to be miserable and cowed by the bosses. He stayed in Manhattan and became a bike delivery “boy.” Here, he was able to do a great deal of research into sub-minimum wage payment, hours shaved off time cards and other violations. Some workers had recently been awarded a judgment after being paid less than $2 an hour. The problems Thompson encountered were not limited to migrant workers, although they are obviously most vulnerable. One theme runs through all of the jobs that Thompson worked: worker solidarity. The attitude was, “We are all in this together; let’s help each other get through the day.” If one man fell behind, someone else would step up to help him. Thompson is in complete agreement with Ehrenreich’s view that poverty in this country is a national emergency. His book has been chosen as part of the Cam-

TILLAMOOK — Have you ever wondered what it would be like to pack a backpack and travel around Europe on a train? Or have you ever wanted to lace up your hiking boots and hike to the bottom of the Grand Canyon? Whether you are planning such trips or simply have an interest in exciting places, Bill Landau’s travelogue series, “Novel Destinations,” could be your ticket to adventure. Landau is the new branch library manager for Tillamook County libraries and he wants to share his passion for travel through this series of slide shows. Each Saturday in February, Landau will take the audience on a photo tour of his favorite places and will throw in many planning tips and travel anecdotes along the way. The series kicks off Saturday, Feb. 4, with a trip through Europe using the highly effective train system. Landau has made the journey several times and will illustrate his stories through photographs he took along the way. Learn how to hop from train to train to explore these fascinating countries and get tips on how to make such a journey more memorable. The slide show for Saturday, Feb. 11, is “Disney Dreaming,” with pointers on how to save money when planning a trip to either Disneyland in California or Walt Disney World in Florida. Learn Landau’s secrets for spending more time on the rides and less time standing in line, as well as the top rides, best food, when to book your trip, and how to save the most money on a magical trip to the “happiest place on earth.” Landau will take the audience on an exciting trip aboard a cruise

ship Saturday, Feb. 18. Once considered a luxury experience for the rich, cruises now have earned a reputation of being one of the most economical forms of vacation. One advantage to cruising is that it is one of the easiest trips to plan. Just buy the ticket, often discounted, and the cruise company does all the planning for you … and much of the experience is allinclusive in cost. The series wraps up with a “journey to the bottom of the Grand Canyon” Saturday, Feb. 25. With more than 20 overnight stays under his belt, Landau will show you what it is like below the rim of the world’s most famous canyon. More than five million people visit the Grand Canyon each year but only a handful make the journey to the bottom. This is your chance to see what the experience is like – and maybe even plan your own trip to the canyon. All “Novel Destinations” programs begin at 1 p.m. at the main Tillamook County Library meeting room at 1716 Third St. Refreshments will be served and admission is free. Contact Landau if you would like more information, at (503) 842-4792, ext. 1709.

Charly Heavenrich has rafted the Grand Canyon more than 100 times and shares his experiences and those of his passengers in "Unimagined Gifts."

PHOTO FROM WWW.THECANYONGUY.COM

“Unimagined Gifts” Author writes about the Grand Canyon ... and life

harly Heavenrich loves people, life and the Grand Canyon, and not in any particular order. Heavenrich, aka “Charly the Canyon Guy,” is a professional river rafting guide who has made 100-plus trips down the Grand Canyon’s mighty Colorado River, but as he says, “Who’s counting?” In his latest book, 2011’s “Unimagined Gifts,” this self-described New Age author examines 38 years of river experiences, describing in detail the idiosyncrasies of fellow travelers, plus the landscapes and history along the 226-mile rafting journey. Thirty-eight years, with each trip lasting more than two weeks – it’s evident that Heavenrich thoroughly knows his subject. The beauty and power of the canyon provide the backdrop; the passengers provide his stories. Exploring his own personal growth, this Canyon Guy, a former Boy Scout, MBA-educated financier and television exercise guru took his first trip down the Colorado in 1977. It was life-altering, and he committed to repeating the journey. And he did, as an unpaid trainee for the next 11 years. In his blog, he writes, “In 1988 I finally admitted that what I love to do is share the Grand Canyon experience with others. A good friend suggested I develop a partnership with the Canyon. At first I had no idea what that meant. Gradually, that partnership began to form, through the stories of ordinary people having extraordinary experiences in the Canyon

that so moved me.” Along with day-to-day interactions, humor and hikes, Heavenrich examines former passengers’ (and at times his own) personal challenges, fears and insecurities that morph into positive, take-away life experiences. There’s a

Another opening, another show • BY VALERIE RYAN

n the theater world, there is the tradition of the “ghost light” – a light or lamp left onstage when the rest of the house is dark. It is typically a portable, naked bulb mounted in a wire cage on a light standard. It’s not fancy, simply functional. The purpose of the light is to keep ghosts away, or maybe to give them the opportunity to perform onstage, or to appease and prevent them from cursing the theater or sabotaging the set or production. Many theater ghosts are thought to be former actors. By always leaving a light on, the theater wards off the bad luck or the sadness of a theater being left “dark” with no shows running because of lack of money or unsuccessful productions. This is just one of the many superstitions surrounding theaters. Sooner or later, every actor hears them, whether in Cannon Beach or on Broadway. Aside from superstitions, another aspect of every theater that has been around for a while is the many memories the building and its players share. In the past 40 years, the Coaster Theatre has seen so many performances, parties, special events, openings, meetings and work parties that if someone had started a tape 40 years ago and kept it running, it would go in a time capsule as a history of Cannon Beach. The Coaster building began life in the 1920s as a roller rink, and that’s what it remained until Richard Atherton bought it in the mid-1960s and began to transform it into the Coaster Theatre. In 1972, Maurie Clark, longtime patron of the arts, purchased the building and completely remodeled it into what patrons see now. New lights and other fixtures have been added since, and new seats and carpet purchased, but Clark gave it that much-needed kick-start. Ray Watkins, a local artist, was hired to design a building facade that would fit in with the character of Cannon Beach. Many buildings constructed in the town since then have stayed with his design idea and exterior finish, making downtown look like someone had a plan in mind. One of the first plays mounted was in 1973, when D.K. Smith and Bill Steidel adapted the Charles Dickens play, “A Christmas Carol,” intending to allow anyone and everyone on stage who

Eventually, the Dickens play turned into a musical featuring a song written by Steidel, “Christmas in Our Home Town,” which was sung in every Christmas show for years. Don’t be surprised if you hear it again during the 2012 version of “A Christmas Carol.” Yes, Dickens will be resurrected in 2012, the 200th anniversary of his birth, to help the Coaster launch the next 40 years of live theater on the coast. To add to the festivities in previous years, locals dressed in Victorian garb and the town was decorated to a fare-thee-well. People returned year after year for this small-town holiday magic, with the Coaster Theatre production as its centerpiece. There have been some famous people on the Coaster’s stage, along with amateur actors who work at banks, galleries, restaurants, bookstores, City Hall and anyplace else serving the public, travelers and locals alike. Paul Revere and the Raiders came to town; Pink Martini has been there more than once. Notable individuals who have graced the stage are Tom Hill, who had a role on the Bob Newhart Show; Ed Collier, who voiced “GI Joe” on radio and TV; and Dallas McKennon, who worked extensively as a voice actor and was in the “Daniel Boone” TV series. Who knows who will be next to use the Coaster Theatre as a springboard to bigger things? For many years, Portland State University did summer stock at the Coaster, much to everyone’s delight and enjoyment. All that youthful energy in town added to the summer fun. Clackamas Community College mounted a spring play and a concert series was added, given by the North Coast Chamber Orchestra, conducted by the late James Smith. The Oregon Coast Performing Arts Society brought in local and regional acts such as the Oregon Symphony String Quartet, Eugene Ballet Company and Oregon Shakespeare Festival actors, to name a few. The schedule has now settled into seven plays a year, from February

through December, with special events, musical and dramatic, sprinkled throughout the calendar. In the entire 40 years of its existence, the theater has had only five artistic directors: Barbara Watkins, D.K. Smith, Lynn Tyrell, Stephen Diehl and Craig Shepherd. These talented few have brought every theater genre imaginable to the Coaster: comedy, drama, tragedy, musical, revue and reader’s theatre. Shepherd, who came with impeccable credentials from New York and Los Angeles, has been at the Coaster since July 5, 2002. He has overseen the transition of the theater from Maurie Clark’s hobby to a full-fledged nonprofit organization. Mike Clark, Maurie’s son, continues to provide financial support and is always ready to help with whatever the theater needs. That said, being nonprofit now means that the Coaster has to do its share of fundraising for the Coaster Theatre Foundation, established to guarantee the theater’s continuing operation. The Foundation’s mission is to build an endowment that will support the more than $100,000 in annual operating costs needed to keep the Coaster the vibrant place it is. “Take a Seat” is an ongoing fundraiser begun in 2007. For $500, you can have your name, or someone else’s, engraved on a beautiful plaque that will be affixed to the seat of your choice. This is a gift in perpetuity, because when the current seats get old and tired, the plaques will be moved to new ones. There are other ways to become a theater donor, helping to build the endowment and ensuring that future generations will have the opportunity to discover the joy of live theater and to enjoy year-round performances at the Coaster. Here’s to 40-plus more years of the magic that happens when the ghost light is off, the house lights go down and the curtain goes up!

ining out for this column has me eating my fair share of mediocre food. In fact, I’m probably subjected to a little more than my fair share. Kilroy’s, located at Camp Rilea but open to the public, may be the most generic, uninspired, mediocre food I’ve ever encountered. I’m not really calling it bad; it’s just that none of the food has any character or personality thrown in, and that’s because people have nothing to do with it besides heating it up and assembling it. Little, if any, is made from scratch. I’ve had this type of food many times at many places, but it’s almost always gussied up with some interestinglynamed menu items or something to differentiate it from that of a comparable restaurant. The few times the menu takes liberties with the naming of items, it doesn’t work. Remember “freedom fries”? Yeah, I don’t think I’d seen that since 2003. The congressional representatives that pushed for the renaming later found the decision to be embarrassing and regrettable. But Kilroy’s holds fast on the matter. I’m assuming the name Kilroy’s comes from the graffiti drawing “Kilroy was here.” The origin of the simple line drawing (a man hanging his schnoz over a wall he’s clutching to) is a matter of debate, though it was most popular during World War II. Kilroy, along with other random drawings and scrawlings, can be seen along the walls inside the dining area. I’m not sure if anyone with a marker is allowed to tag their graffiti, but I was thinking really hard about putting up a Mr. Roboto reference. Also adorning the walls and ceiling are various firefighter memorabilia, random military posters and flags (“Live free or die,” “Don’t tread on me,” “Liberty or death,” “Buy war bonds”), hats, gas masks and gear from Navy, Army, Green Beret, jungle warfare, etc. It’s like a military Applebee’s in there.

It’s also kind of a sports bar. But when there isn’t a game on, TVs are usually tuned to Fox News. It’s a pretty common rule at bars not to add politics where alcohol is served, but being on a military outpost, it’s probably no big deal to the clientele. As I mentioned, the food is totally devoid of individuality. Sometimes it’s the austerity that stands out. Take, for instance, the wraps. The beef steak wrap ($9) is a tortilla filled with beef and lettuce. That’s it. No sauce, no cheese, just beef and lettuce. The barbecue chicken wrap ($8) was

Onion rings ($6) are pre-fab, and low quality at that. Sandwiches are served with factory freedom fries or tots. Sometimes the fries are waffle fries, sometimes regular – I figure it’s their freedom to choose what to order from week to week. Like the rest of the menu, sandwiches are ultra-basic. Cold deli sandwiches ($8) are white bread with mayonnaise, a little lettuce and tomato, red onion (which is always cut inconsistently and on the thick side), and the meat of your choice. A club sandwich ($9), though not quartered as is customary, was not unpleasant to eat. The reuben ($8) qualifies as a reuben, but again, there was absolutely nothing special about it. I’ve had more interesting sandwiches from vending machines. I like a pickle with a burger or sandwich, but there are none to be found at Kilroy’s. And there are no plates. Food is served in plastic baskets lined with paper. The Kiloton quesadilla ($7) is available with cheese, chicken or steak, and is about the same quesadilla you get from any bar menu, complete with sides of sour cream and factory salsa. House salad ($5) was all right. It comes with both iceberg and mesclun mix (I’ll give them that as a first), grape tomatoes, mushrooms, baby carrots, sliced cucumber and a side of factory dressing, all packed into a bowl so small there’s no way to mix it up without spilling it everywhere. I’ve never seen anyone else eating at Kilroy’s, and staff (although friendly and well-meaning) seemed overwhelmed by just our table, and undereducated in the field of hospitality. Heading out to Camp Rilea, you’re stopped by a guard – who may or may not ask for identification – and asked what your business is. Then it’s kind of difficult to find Kilroy’s, as the building looks no different from any of the others. If you ask me, it’s not at all worth the trouble.

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com the same way, but the chicken was sauced. I’d put the ratio at 60/40 lettuce to meat by volume. These items could be so much better! Caramelized onions and a peppercorn cream cheese for the steak. Pickled onions

It’s like a military Applebee’s in there. and a fresh slaw with the chicken. Little touches go so far. “Big Bomb Burgers” are a little better, but suffer from a previously-frozen puck burger and a cheap untoasted bun. The Jalapeno BBQ Jack ($8) indeed had pickled jalapenos and jack cheese, but the factory barbecue sauce was applied so liberally it shot out the sides all over my hands when I went in for a bite. I’ve never thought iceberg lettuce was appropriate for sandwiches or burgers unless maybe if it’s shredded. The crunch and water content seem to distract from the meat. “House” must be a brand name because the chili ($4, $5) is from a can.

Yummy Wine Bar and Bistro 831 Broadway (503) 738-3100, www.yummywinebarbistro.com The gallery continues the premiere of “Made in China,” a whimsical collection of new work by Kevin Ames. This is a vibrant, contemporary and impressively bold body of work created from a variety of mediums including spray paint on sheet aluminum, paint on clay board and paint on plexiglass to recreate the effect of classic animation cells.

ASTORIA — Astoria Visual Arts is the recipient of two generous private contributions in support of youth arts education. “We are delighted at this opportunity to strengthen our youth arts program,” said AVA president Larry Taylor. Noel and Patricia Thomas contributed $5,000 to create a program to support the arts at Astoria High School. The program, the Miss Bea Johnson Young Artist’s Foundation, is named for Noel Thomas’ eighth-grade

art teacher in Longview, Wash. She encouraged him to apply to the Los Angeles Art Center after high school, which he did after a stint in the Army. The fund was the result of a special sale of Noel Thomas’ works at RiverSea Gallery in July. The sale was so successful that the idea of a young artist’s foundation was proposed. Other artists have been inspired to hold similar sales to increase the endowment. The second contribution was

made in memory of Sally Bailey, who began working in fiber arts in the 1970s. Morgain Bailey announced the fund at Sally Bailey’s memorial service, which resulted in more than $500 in contributions. The fund will be used for scholarships at the Astoria Fiber Arts Academy. Astoria Visual Arts is a nonprofit organization that has supported the arts for more than 23 years. It currently operates the Astoria Fiber Arts Academy, which just completed its second year

of operations. AVA is sponsoring the 2012 Open Studios Event in July, which will showcase 40 artists residing in and around Astoria. AVA currently has around 200 members. Anyone who wants to make additional tax-deductible contributions to either fund may do so by sending them to Astoria Visual Arts, P.O. Box 1004, Astoria, OR 97103.

North Coast Squid New publication readies for debut MANZANITA — The North Coast Citizen and the Manzanita Writers’ Series coordinators have partnered to bring out a literary journal, the North Coast Squid. Writing entries were called for in the fall. Even with a short turnaround time, more than 50 writers submitted 120 pieces. Fifty-six submissions were poetry, 18 fiction, 16 memoir, 13 nonfiction, and six Flash Fiction. In addition, more than 20 people submitted photography or art. Entries were judged by two accomplished authors from outside the local area. Novelist Jennie Shortridge of Seattle read the prose submissions. Oregon’s sixth and current Poet Laureate, Paulann Peterson, read the poetry. “Jennie and Paulann have a passion for increasing literacy and broadening the love of reading and writing,” said Vera Wildauer, of the Manzanita Writers’ Series. “They eagerly read through their stacks to support this endeavor and selected 38 pieces.” A committee of five chose the artwork to be included.

“Sponsors stepped up to cover publication costs,” added Kathie Hightower. “We’re very pleased with the results, especially for an inaugural issue where people had just one month to submit. Of course, we have a vision that future journals will be even more expansive with stitch-bound volumes. But this is a great start and a way for many local writers to see their writing published for the first time. We hope many of the writers will read their entries during our open mic events this year.” The North Coast Squid will be available for purchase at every Manzanita Writers’ Series event as well as at a number of retail outlets along the coast. Fifty percent of the $2 cover price will go to the Hoffman Center to help with operational costs that provide programs such as the Manzanita Writers’ Series. The series is a program of the Hoffman Center and is held at the Hoffman Center at 594 Laneda Ave., with the next NWS event to be held Saturday, Feb. 18. Further information and the 2012 schedule are available at hoffmanblog online or contact Wildauer at vwildauer@gmail.com

New York indie duo Benyaro plays at the Voodoo Room in Astoria Friday, Feb. 3.

Voodoo Room Power duo plays soulful roots in Astoria ASTORIA — Benyaro, New York City’s indie acoustic soul and roots power duo, has a sound reminiscent of “early Tom Waits” (KBGA, Missoula, Mt.), “acoustic David Bowie” (WESU, Middletown, Conn.) and “Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young” (Connect Savannah). According to Relix magazine’s Jan/Feb 2011 issue, Benyaro is “on the verge ... indie acoustic soul power.” Their two albums have spent time on the CMJ Top 200 and more than 120 radio stations across the world spin Benyaro’s music. Lead singer Ben Musser’s voice has been dubbed “a strange amalgamation of Cat Stevens and Axl Rose” (Yes! Weekly). Knowing this, one can expect Benyaro to deliver an intense, emotional and upbeat performance. Musser and upright bassist Bobby McCul-

Though only two performers, one is treated to the sound of a full acoustic band as they play percussion with feet, nylon string guitar and upright bass with hands and sing together

with conviction. In 2011, Benyaro shared the stage with Anders Osborne, The Stone Foxes, Dangermuffin, Abigail Washburn and Kai Welch, Tony Furtado, Sahara Smith, The Farewell Drifters, Reed Foehl and Brett Dennen. In the past two years they have shared the stage with The Avett Brothers, Jill Andrews, Samantha Crain, Gregory Alan Isakov, Malcolm Holcombe, Michael Daves and many others. Benyaro will play starting at 8 p.m. Friday, Feb. 3, at the Voodoo Room, 1114 Marine Drive. There is no cover charge and the show is for all ages.

A mixed media collage artist, Cohn has been making art on playing cards for the past two years. The small format has made the cards the perfect template for a collaborative “mail art” project in which artists from all over the globe have participated. The cards are mailed from artist to artist, with up to five artists working on one card in any medium that inspires them. This show will highlight Cohn’s collection, as well as feature a juried component in which regional artists have created their own miniature pieces of art on playing cards.

Well-grounded artists shape ceramics exhibit ASTORIA — Local potters David Campiche and Randy McClelland will exhibit a new collection of ceramic pieces at RiverSea Gallery during February. “Home Spirit: A Collection of Ceramics from Hand, Heart and Soul” is a long-awaited two man show by protégés of renowned local ceramic artist Richard Rowland, and encompasses both conceptual sculpture and functional work by both artists. The gallery invites everyone to attend a preview party and artists’ talk from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4. A followup reception will be held during the Second Saturday Art Walk, Feb. 11, from 5 to 8 p.m. The show will remain on view through Feb. 28. Both artists began studying ceramics as students, Campiche in New York, during which time he met Japanese-American potter Toshiko Takaezu, and McClelland as a teenager when he studied at the American School in Tokyo, Japan. Both became imbued with the Japanese values of aesthetics and function, which

has continued to shape their work. Years later, the two met while taking classes with Rowland at Clatsop Community College. They became engrossed with the process of anagama, an ancient wood-fire technique, and joined the community of enthusiasts involved in Rowland’s Astoria Dragon Kiln. It was this experience shared with potters who come from around the world that furthered their commitment to the Zen of clay. Both artists maintain a fine balance of form and function, while being keenly aware of aesthetics, and use the medium to delve into the realm of metaphor. Campiche’s sculptures in this show are called “spirit houses,” and viewers are encouraged to try to imagine a force living inside the forms. McClelland depicts Japanese mythological beings known as Tengu, or “celestial dogs,” protective spirits of the mountains and forests. RiverSea Gallery is located at 1160 Commercial St. and features
