Edge-of-seat dark thriller set to open TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts and TLC Federal Credit Union present Frederick Knott’s thriller, “Wait Until Dark.” Performances will be at 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, March 16 through 31 and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 25, at The Barn Community Playhouse at 1204 Ivy Ave. Tickets are available by calling Diamond Art Jewelers at (503) 8427940 and at the door. There will be a gala champagne opening March 16, at which one beverage and hors d’oeuvres are included. Directed by TAPA veteran Dan Phillips, the play focuses on a recently blinded woman, Susy, whose whole world has become dark as the result of an accident six months earlier. Happily married to Sam, her photographer husband, both are unaware that he has unwittingly brought a doll filled with heroin into their home. With Sam away on a photo shoot, Susy is left home alone to meet and greet Harry Roat and his two henchmen, Mike Talman and Sgt. Carlino, who connive their way into her home by pretending to be someone they’re not. With the aid of her precocious neighbor Gloria, who has taken the doll for herself, Susy eventually realizes that no one is who they say they are and that her life is in imminent danger. As we watch Susy struggle to survive, she uses the only weapon she has against the men and we join her on the roller coaster ride of her life where all of us eventually plunge into the darkness together. This show is not recommended for younger children. For more information, call Deborah Coon at (503) 842-3999.

s it possible to expire from the desire for a cupcake? Probably not. Still, you might go a bit weak in the knees once you’re inside Astoria’s premier cupcake shop, Simply Cakes by Jae. Located on 10th Street in Astoria, just up from the waterfront, the tiny establishment – all pink, white and pretty inside – exudes a smell of cupcake goodness that gives new meaning to the word “irresistible.” The added impact of its refrigerated display case filled with a mouth-watering assortment of cupcakes should tempt even the most hardened visitor’s taste buds. Simply Cakes represents the new world order, cupcake-wise. Cupcakes have gone gourmet. Now they can be “playful, hip and glamorous,” as one online source put it. Cupcake bakeries have sprung up around the country with people waiting to gobble ’em down in lines that go out the door well into the night. Upscale cupcake outlets offer flavors that go way beyond the white with chocolate frosting or chocolate-on-chocolate cupcakes that we grew up with. The new cupcakes come with elaborate decoration and design options. At Simply Cakes, depending on the day, customers may choose from any of the following cupcake flavors: German chocolate, chocolate raspberry, chocolate coconut cream, chocolate caramel, coconut cream, vanilla lemon curd (Jae’s best seller), vanilla raspberry and chocolate peanut butter cream. What really sets the gourmet cupcake apart? Well, they cost more, but that’s only because they contain the very best ingredients, e.g., butter, heavy cream, quality chocolate. Plus, they take quite a bit more time to make. “There’s a real chemistry to baking,” explains owner Jae Young. “It’s totally different from cooking. My cupcakes are all made from scratch. So are the fillings – my Bavarian cream, lemon curd, German chocolate, raspberry … you name it.”

Award-winning topsey-turvey fashion show returns
See the Oregon Coast – up close and personal
ASTORIA — The Astoria Downtown Historic District Association will host the second annual “Jane Barnes Revue” Saturday, March 31. This topseyturvey fashion show features Astoria’s finest males dressed up as Jane Barnes and it’s for one night only. The “Jane Barnes Revue” will be held at the Astor Street Opry Company Playhouse at 129 W. Bond St. The fashion show starts at 7:30 p.m. Doors open 7:00 p.m. The “Jane Barnes Revue” is sponsored by the Columbia Memorial Hospital (CMH) Women’s Center and cosponsored by the Astor Street Opry Company and Holly McHone Jewelers. The eyepopping “cat walk” will feature Dr. Bill Armington of CMH and Jim Coffee of Coastal Family Health Center as they make their debut at this year’s event. Additionally, Brett Estes of the city of Astoria, Andrew Bornstein of Bornstein Seafoods and Jack Harris of Fort George Brewery will be among the “Janes” who will be returning to the stage. But those are only a few of the featured “Janes” so be sure to check in with the ADHDA Facebook page as celebrity models join the lineup. The delightful and somewhat scandalous evening of tiaras and formals took a surprising turn last fall when ADHDA received an “Outstanding
Special Event” award for the event at the Oregon Main Street Conference Excellence in Downtown Revitalization awards. This award recognizes excellence in building a strong organizational foundation through volunteer development, fundraising activities or communication strategies. Tickets include a chance to dance the night away at the ASOC Playhouse and a chance to meet and greet the beautiful “Janes” directly following the show. Tickets are on sale now and seating is limited. Advance tickets are $25 and can be purchased at Old Town Framing Company at 1287 Commercial St. VIP tickets are available for $50 per person and offer front row “catwalk” seating. Cash or check is preferred. Tickets will also be available at the door one hour before the event time. All proceeds go to support ADHDA. ADHDA is a nonprofit organization with a mission of encouraging community involvement and investment in preserving the character of historic downtown Astoria while promoting its health and future.

Waves of Change Wellness Center Metamorphosis workshop scheduled for end of March ASTORIA — Metamorphosis is a gentle type of reflexology done on feet, hands and head. The focus is to address the reflexes that relate to the spine. It opens up blockages and allows the body to begin to heal itself physically, mentally and spiritually, according to Waves of Change Wellness Center owner Angela Sidlo. There will be a metamorphosis workshop from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, March 31 and Sunday, April 1, at Waves of Change Wellness Center at 1004 Marine Drive. The workshop will be led by Maryejo del Meijer, who has a bodywork/counseling practice in Santa Barbara, Calif., and has been a practitioner and teacher of metamorphosis for more than 25 years. The cost is $200, or $225 after March 20. This workshop is appropriate for health care professionals, counselors, therapists, massage practitioners, reflexologists and anyone who would like to transform their lives in a positive way. “For anyone to get a regular Metamorphosis session is beneficial in releasing stress and limiting patterns, experiencing flow and moving into a greater sense of well-being,” said Sidlo. Contact Sidlo at (503) 3389921 to register. To schedule a private metamorphosis session with del Meijer, contact her via email at maryejo@metaliving.com

Peninsula Players Warmly endearing musical set to open in Ilwaco ILWACO, Wash. — The Peninsula Players present “Little Mary Sunshine” at the River City Playhouse, opening Friday, March 16, for a three-weekend run. “Little Mary Sunshine” originally premiered off Broadway in 1959 and ran for 1,143 performances. The Rick Besoyan musical is a delightful parody of other oldfashioned operettas and musicals, and even today is heralded as truly enjoyable family entertainment. Little Mary Sunshine, played by Madison Baker, is the foster daughter of Chief Brown Bear (Michael Veland) of the Kadota tribe. The government is threatening to foreclose the mortgage on Mary’s Colorado Inn, located on land that is subject to a dispute between the Chief and the U.S. government. Captain Jim (John Fugitt) and his Forest Rangers march in and Jim woos Mary, after which the two get well-sung advice from an opera star at the Inn, guest Mme. Ernestine Liebedich, played by Penny Bierly. Meanwhile, Corporal Billy Jester (Frank Lehn) and
“Little Mary Sunshine” 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays 2 p.m. Sundays March 16 through April 1 River City Playhouse 127 S.E. Lake St., Ilwaco, Wash. www.peninsula-players.com Tickets $15
his girlfriend Nancy (Mary Evelyn Long) are squabbling over Nancy’s flirty appetite for other men. Some Lovely Ladies from the Eastchester Finishing School are also guests at the Inn. They entertain themselves playing croquet and swinging on swings until they meet up with the Forest Rangers, and love blooms as they joyfully sing together. When the production’s “dirty old man” arrives, in the form of retired General Oscar Fairfax, aptly played by Rob DeuPree, he orders the Rangers away so he may have the Lovely Ladies all to himself. Never fear, there’s a happy resolution for all concerned, and
the audience will no doubt depart the playhouse humming the inspirational finale, “Look for a Sky of Blue.” Director Rita Smith and “Little Mary,” Madison Baker, will be featured on “Arts: Live and Local,” Carol Newman’s KMUN 91.9 weekly radio show, at 3 p.m. Friday, March 16. The doors will open that night at 6:15 p.m. for a gala opening night reception. “Little Mary Sunshine” runs Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, March 16 through April 1. Friday and Saturday shows begin at 7 p.m. and Sunday matinees start at 2 p.m. Tickets are $15 and are available at Okie’s Thriftway in Ocean Park, Wash., Stormin’ Norman’s in Long Beach, Wash., the Imperial Schooner in Ilwaco, or at the door one half hour before show time if they’re still available. The River City Playhouse is located at 127 S.E. Lake St., across the street from the Ilwaco Post Office and next door to the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum.

Seaside Public Library
Peninsula Association of Performing Artists
Apiarist’s program is all the buzz
Peninsula Players
SEASIDE — Naturalist and beekeeper extraordinaire Julie Tennis will buzz in to the Seaside Public Library at 7 p.m. Thursday, March 22, to speak about “What Beekeepers Do.” The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Seaside Library and refreshments will be served. The art of beekeeping and honey production has been around for thousands of years, as evidenced by rock paintings estimated to be older than 12,000 years. Tennis’ interest started much later, when in 2005 she found out she was allergic to sugar and began substituting honey in recipes. Her father started keeping honeybees and gave her a hive to manage. By 2011, she had built her apiary to 10 hives. Through study and participating in workshops about native bees, her appreciation for the contribution bees make to life on earth has led to a love affair with their perseverance, self-reliance and determination. Traditionally, beekeeping was carried out for honey products, but today other aspects of natural bee services are utilized, such as all-important crop pollination. Other hive products are pollen, royal jelly, propolis and bee venom, which is a treatment for rheumatic fever. Seaside Library is located at 1131 Broadway.

It’s clear to see The Daily Astorian’s EZpay is the convenient way
ILWACO, Wash. — The Peninsula Association of Performing Artists (PAPA) will perform the musical, “Into The Woods,” with the cooperation of the Washington State Parks Department. The musical will be performed at the Fort Columbia Theatre this summer. Having had successful runs of “Fiddler on the Roof,” “Once Upon A Mattress,” “Hello Dolly!” and in 2011, “The Sound of Music,” PAPA is taking on an even more challenging endeavor with its selection of “Into the Woods” as its summer 2012 production. With music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim from the book by James Lapine, “Into the Woods” promises to be a thoroughly enjoyable evening. “Into the Woods” premiered on Broadway in 1987 with Bernadette Peters as the Witch and Joanna Gleason as the Baker’s Wife. This original production received wide acclaim. “Into the Woods” intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales and explores the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests. Based on Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk, Rapunzel and Cin-
derella, “”Into the Woods” brings together an original story involving a baker and his wife and their desire to begin a family. “Into the Woods” also includes references to several other well-known tales and is filled with fast moving music and comedy. Auditions for “Into the Woods” will be held at the Inn at Harbour Village, 120 N.E. Williams Ave., from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, March 30, and 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, March 31. If necessary, arrangements can be made for other audition times by contacting Cindy Flood at (360) 6653637.

"Looking Through Water," by Manzanita author Judith B. Allen. SUBMITTED PHOTO
‘Looking Through Water’ Oregon Coast tale explores dynamics of healing
J
udith B. Allen has had this book in her heart and soul for a long time. She was director of the Reed Miracles Center and the Healing Place, an Attitudinal Healing Center in Portland, for 15 years. During that time, she met and sponsored many healers and learned a great deal about the nature and practice of healing. Allen and her husband now live in Manzanita, where she continues to explore the dynamics of healing: physical, spiritual and emotional. All of this experience is brought to bear in telling a story that begins with a little girl, Addie Sawyer, who sees her grandpa’s spirit at his funeral. She innocently tells her parents what she saw. Her father and his family are founding members of a strict Bible church in a very small town. When Addie tells them about seeing Grandpa, her father is afraid that this vision might have come from the devil. Addie discovers early on that in addition to her vision, she has the gift of healing. Her parents, Jake and Rose,

even for Jake. He asks them to leave and doesn’t go back to his church again. The constant wrangling and her encouragement of Addie have a profound effect on Rose, who is eager to search for her own fulfillment, not having found it within her small town or her marriage. Addie has to pay a steep price as her mother seeks her freedom and her own spirit. She stops healing for a while, shouldering immense responsibilities for one so young. Even so, she never loses sight of the fact that healing is her gift, her profession and her reason for being on this earth. What everyone gains – and what they lose – forms the rest of this story of faith misplaced and faith in oneself confirmed, of familial bonds stretched to breaking and of the courage of people to survive great unhappiness and persevere. Judith B. Allen has brought forth a story that is part mystical, part metaphysical and a straightforward good tale, told from the heart.

When Sally told Barry that she would be participating in the open house, Barry said that he had learned to knit in the Boy Scouts and that he would also take part in the event.

arry Taylor likes to tell about the morning he was in Astoria’s Blue Scorcher Bakery Café and ran into Margaret Thierry. “It was one of those Astoria moments,” said Taylor, president of Astoria Visual Arts. “Larry said he wanted to hear my dream for the future of art in our area,” said Thierry, wellknown Astoria master weaver and AVA board member. “My idea/fantasy/dream, I told him, is that our weaving community would rent a shared space like newly arrived Scandinavian families did in the 1950s. We would put our looms and tools in the space and weave communally and teach a little. Larry says – like Larry would – ‘What a great idea! Let’s start a fiber arts academy.’ We went to work contacting all the fiber people we could think of and the rest, as we say, is history.” From 1988 through 2004, Clatsop Community College offered a weaving program started by Thierry, later led by Iris Sullivan. The weavers were ousted when CCC needed space for its nursing program. “Looms in a room take up all the room!” said Thierry, who just happened to be safekeeping five looms she purchased for $15 each from the college. The CCC looms had arrived in Astoria via and thanks to the University of Oregon, coming originally from San Francisco’s City of Paris Dry Goods Co. circa 1896. “They weren’t pretty, but they worked,” Thierry said of the well-used but pedigreed looms. The Astoria Fiber Arts Academy now boasts somewhere around 19 looms, in-
cluding the original stash. Others have been donated and a few are on loan. In the fall of 2009, Taylor and his band of fiber arts go-getters put out the word: space needed. Taylor, describing it as yet another Astoria moment, got a call from arts patron Michael Foster, who said, “I think I might have what you’re looking for.” Bingo! Three months later, the Astoria Fiber Arts Academy opened its doors.
“People who take classes at AFAA find their new skills relaxing and at the same time productive.” — McLaren Innes AFAA knitting instructor The location at 1296 Duane was meant to be. “The magic is that everything is mechanical and tactile,” said Taylor. “It’s kind of Zen-like, taking us back to a place that’s almost gone.” Enter the Academy’s studio and you see color. It’s everywhere. Multihued skeins of hand-dyed yarns make their own beautiful art. Hanging from the walls, they beg you to come close and touch them. Then there are the one-of-a-kind knit pieces, woven scarves, rugs, shawls, socks, caps and hats. And the people, both instructors and students who come together to add additional layers of talent and color. “We get many kudos from outof-town visitors. Nothing we have can be identifiably found in other yarn shops,”
said Thierry. Instructor Helen Repp, among her many related fiber talents, weaves rugs and does it so well that she’s sold to Clint Eastwood. Repp and her volunteer assistant and 4-H liaison, Electa Mathre, offer an afterschool weaving program in October, January and April for up to 16 teenagers. “We limit each class to six kids at a time, which allows for a one-on-one experience,” said Mathre. “Because we partner with Clatsop County 4-H, our classes are free and all of them have been full with a waiting list. Cheryl Law teaches knitting for kids. Her classes are not 4-H affiliated, so there is a small fee, but they are also well-attended,” said Mathre. Knitting instructor McLaren Innes, who started knitting when she was 6, used to knit in her high school classes and still wonders if her geometry may have sufHUGH MCKENNA — For Coast Weekend fered.

A
great deal of time has passed since I was so thoroughly enamored with a restaurant and the way they do things. Though I was excited to try it after seeing its story in The Daily Astorian (Feb. 2), I gave Mixed Marriage the usual grace period to get into the swing of things before I headed in to review it. I love this place! They got it all right. I didn’t care for the acoustics of the dining room, and I’m not sure why they chose to display some of the art on the walls, but these quibbles didn’t really detract from the important things: the food and the service. The staff is warm and welcoming, and can answer any questions you may have about their more exotic offerings. On to the food! Mixed Marriage makes delicious egg bagels from scratch daily, and I have an enormous respect for fresh-made bagels since I learned to make them at chef school. Compared to regular bread, there’s a lot more work to bagels. The dough process is pretty close, but then you have the rolling and connecting of each one, and a boiling water blanch before finally baking. The result is a shiny, chewy, glorious ring. If you’ve never had fresh bagels, you’re out of excuses – they’re here now. I’ll never be able to go back to the too-thick, bready, identical, commercially produced bagels from the supermarket, and I won’t have to. Mixed Marriage uses these bagels to house their burgers and breakfast sandwiches, and they’re a bread option for the build-your-own deli sandwich menu. For your first time, I recommend getting a bagel with cream cheese ($3). Another thing they do well is soups. There are two daily soups; one vegetarian. I consider myself a bit of a soupsmith, so I’m always on the lookout for good ones. So many places I visit just have chowder, or chowder and chili, or chowder, chili and a soup du jour, but they’re always out of the soup du jour, or “Today our soup is the chili.”

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com bell peppers and rice in a thin broth with just enough lime and the right amount of curry for all of the flavors to mingle together nicely. The other soup was a hearty steak and potato soup reminiscent of slow-simmered beef stew. The very next day I had vegetarian tomato soup with cheese tortellini, and my first ever Matzoh ball soup, which is served every Monday. I can’t recommend this enough. It’s basically chicken and dumplings, but there’s less chicken, and there’s one dumpling about the size of a tennis ball. I’m told the chef simmers the chicken stock all weekend to produce this specialty. The Matzoh ball is the perfect density. It easily cuts away with a spoon, and is spongelike in its retention of that fabulous stock, but I
be made in three sizes: Normal ($6), Large ($9), and New York ($12), with your choice of bread, choice of meat: rare roast beef tri-tip, roast turkey, ham or pastrami – my favorite of the salted, cured meats. Cheeses include cheddar, Swiss, provolone and muenster. This made my day. I love muenster and hardly ever see it on a menu. In addition to the customs, classic sandwiches are on offer as well. The pastrami reuben ($10) on housemade rye has Swiss cheese above and below the meat, which expands far outside the designated bread zone. The rye is wonderfully dense, and speared with those little cocktail swords I used to save for my G.I. Joes. The Cuban ($9) is another favorite sandwich of mine, one I don’t see often

enough: roast pork, ham, pickle slices, Swiss and mustard on a long roll. Mine wasn’t cooked in a press, as is traditional, but they got the rest right. The Memphis-style pulled pork sandwich ($9), lightly sauced and served on a French roll with coleslaw, is another home run. Hot, tender, juicy pork and cool, crunchy fresh slaw make a great texture contrast. And a word on the slaw: Regular readers know that I’m almost always dissatisfied with the boring and bland coleslaws I encounter, but at Mixed Marriage it’s thinly sliced, with a touch of tangy acidity and a very slight sweetness to go with the mayo, and is studded with poppy seeds for added flavor and a nice look. I was also taken aback by their potato salad, another dish no one ever seems to get right. Here the potatoes are fully cooked, and paired with a bold, mustardy sauce and big chunks of celery and pickle. Sandwiches are served with potato salad and slaw, along with a nice pickle spear. I wholeheartedly recommend the patty melt ($9), another good use of the fresh dark rye. The burger is hand-formed and thick, the red onions nicely caramelized, and the cheese melting out of the sides. Special sandwiches I had were a straightforward club sandwich ($10) with thick bacon, and an enormous turkey cheesesteak ($10), roast turkey with sauteed onions and peppers on a French roll with provolone. Mixed Marriage also offers housemade desserts, but we were too full to sample them each time we had planned on it. But I’ll be back for sure, and with the track record so far, I can almost recommend them sight unseen. One treat I can recommended is the housemade limeade. I foresee them selling a lot of it this summer. While Mixed Marriage was open for dinner Friday nights, they’re currently lunch only. Dinners, Caribbean cuisine mainly, will resume sometime soon, and I’ll have an excuse to write them up again. But as it stands, Mixed Marriage is my new favorite lunch spot.

White Bird Gallery Spring into exhibit season with prints and ceramics CANNON BEACH — This year’s exhibition season begins Saturday, March 17, with two complementary group shows at White Bird Gallery. “The Printed Image” features artists who use both traditional and experimental printing or printmaking techniques. The annual Ceramics Invitational celebrates the many talented ceramics artists represented at the gallery, as well as introducing the public to a new artist. “The Printed Image” will detail the gallery’s popular printmakers. The exhibit includes work by Liza Jones who is known for her skillful etchings and drypoints in many themes including landscape, figurative and animal sub-
jects. Etchings by Marsha Mello and Michael DiBitetto will also be featured, as well as psychologically charged monotypes with collage by Bill Schlegel. Marcy Baker also combines monotype and collage in botanical inspired designs, while Arleigh Wood and Julia Gardner both utilize photographic imagery to create mixed media compositions. Two new artists will complete the show, including emerging North Coast artist Sarah Lippold, who uses monoprinting to evoke subtleties of the landscape, and Portland artist Paul Gentry, whose detailed wood engravings capture both natural and urban scenes. This year’s Ceramics Invita-
tional will include Jan Rentenaar’s sculptures inspired by folklore and legends from around the world as well as the popular sculptures of Robin and John Gumaelius, who incorporate welded steel into their imaginative figurative and bird forms. Eric Boos will be introduced to gallery audiences with his playful biomorphic vessels dubbed “Almost Edible.” Cindy Searles creates functional wares with flora and fauna motifs while gallery artists Larry Halvorsen and Karl Yost create sculptural vessels and ceramic wall relief pieces. White Bird Gallery is located at 251 N. Hemlock St. For more information, call (503) 436-2681 or visit www.whitebirdgallery.com
Jan Rentenaar is currently showing sculptures inspired by world folklore, such as “Inari, the Fox Goddess.”
Arleigh Wood uses photographic imagery for mixed media compositions such as “Sparkle & Drop.”

Lower Columbia TimeBank One good deed deserves another ASTORIA — The Lower Columbia TimeBank opens this week, taking free online registrations all week in preparation for the official launch of the website Tuesday, March 20, when orientations will begin for new members. TimeBanking is simply about neighbors helping neighbors, whether those neighbors live across the street or across the river. When members volunteer an hour or two helping someone else, their time spent is logged into their online Lower Co-
lumbia TimeBank account. They can then use these “banked hours” when they need help with something. For example, a member could walk someone’s dog for an hour and earn an hour, then search the website and get help with gardening, cleaning out the garage, washing the car, trimming the hedge, knitting lessons – the possibilities are endless. The website logs the hours members post and lists members’ requests for help and help offered. It’s a sim-
ple old-fashioned neighborly idea with powerful and positive ripple effects throughout our communities. Anyone in Clatsop and Pacific counties can become a member, at no charge. At present, membership is through online registration only, at www.LoCoTimeBank.org. After filling out the registration form, following the instructions for User Name and Password, reading the Terms of Membership, and answering the confirming email link,
new members complete the process at one of the orientations. Orientations begin March 20 and 22 between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. at Astoria High School, 1001 W. Marine Drive, and will continue throughout the month. The website has an updated list of times and locations. Over the next few months, the Lower Columbia TimeBank will add memberships for those without computers. For more information, phone (503) 325-6886.

ASTORIA — Clatsop Community College announces “B’aktun 13,” a Teatro Milagro bilingual play, will be performed at 7 p.m. Friday, March 16, at the CCC Performing Arts Center, 16th Street at Franklin Avenue. The performance is free and all are welcome. Three Latinos swept up in an ICE raid and deported to Mexico are suddenly immersed in indigenous cultural experiences.

The possibility of a way home leads them to the Yucatán, where they encounter Mayan deities, jaguars and visions of the Earth flooding.

A hurricane changes the course of their journey, sending them into uncharted lands. Time revolves like a Mayan calendar and Rio, Luz and Sal must return to face the consequences of their past as they approach the uncertainties of their future.
