EarthDance Film Festival Mini-festival offers upbeat environmental message ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park is going all out for Earth Day with the EarthDance Short-Attention-Span Environmental Film Festival. The one-of-a-kind traveling 100minute film festival combines adventure, creativity and important environmental messages. The festival showing will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 22, at the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center, 92343 Fort Clatsop Road, with limited seating. The free festival is sponsored by the Lewis and Clark National Park Association. EarthDance Film Festival sparks discussions, provokes

EarthDance Short-AttentonSpan Environmental Film Festival 3 p.m. Sunday, April 22 Fort Clatsop Visitor Center 92343 Fort Clatsop Road, Astoria (503) 861-2471, ext. 220 Free admission thought and introduces audiences to passionate people, culture and the natural world. It is about a planet where adventure is alive

and history matters. The 2012 festival is the ninth annual collection of environmental films produced by EarthDance, an organization based in Oakland, Calif. Lewis and Clark National Historical Park will be one stop in a tour of 30 communities in seven countries. Zakary Zide, the director of EarthDance, started the film festival in 2004 because he was getting tired of environmental stories portrayed as polarizing gloom and doom scenarios. “We wanted to encourage more stories of inspiration, hope and humor.” Zide said after each festival showing, “It al-

most takes a minute for the audience to catch their breath.” The films’ variety and originality invite conversation about the environment. After the Lewis and Clark NHP showing, there will be an optional discussion. This year’s festival features hand-drawn and computer animations, serious documentaries, action-adventures and comedies that were picked from 300 films submitted. For more information about the film lineup, call (503) 8612471, ext. 220, or follow and “like” Lewis and Clark National Historical Park on Facebook.

tufted puffins, red-winged blackbirds

S

ome folks think giving Mother Earth only one day a year is hardly fair. That may be why the Earth Day Committee of Cannon Beach decided to set aside a full 12 days to celebrate. Not only that, but they have enlisted the tufted puffins to help out. The Twelve Days of Earth Day at Cannon Beach began April 11, but you’re not too late to take advantage of the fun. The main feature is welcoming the puffins back to their nesting sites on Haystack Rock – there will be puffin viewing stations on the beach, as conditions permit, set up by Haystack Rock Awareness Program volunteers throughout the festival – but there are other exciting events as well. Twelve Days of Earth Day In addition to plenty of opportunities to view and learn about the beloved Haystack Rock puffin colony, Thursday, April 19, features photographs by naturalists Neal Maine and Michael Wing of PacificLight Images and a special presentation on conservation areas in Oregon state forests by fishing guide Bob Rees. Friday, April 20, brings the Gaylord Nelson Potluck and Award Ceremony for Best Cannon Beach Trail Photo and a slide presentation by Oregon Department of Energy representative Diana Enright. The weekend of April 21-22 opens with a gathering on the beach at Haystack Rock, followed by sun salutations at the Community Hall led by yoga instructor Christen Allsop. Then be ready for family-friendly hikes and information on another group of feathery friends – a talk on red-winged blackbirds by naturalist Neal Maine at Little Pompey Wetlands. For a complete schedule, see http://www.twelvedaysofearthday.com/Schedule.html Long Beach Peninsula On the surf side of Long Beach Peninsula, the GrassRoots Garbage Gang has scheduled a beach cleanup to coincide with Earth Day weekend. Meet at any of the beach access points at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, April 21, to get a cleanup bag and instructions. The Garbage Gang’s cleanups are legendary. Come and bring the whole family to help rid the beach of plastic, odd marine garbage and the occasional sofa. For more information, see www.ourbeach.org

4 | April 19, 2012 | coastweekend.com

Extending Earth Day even longer, the Lost Roo Restaurant (1700 S. Pacific Ave. in Long Beach, Wash.) will be sponsoring a dinner, silent auction, raffle, information booths and a fundraiser for beach cleanup efforts from 3 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, April 24. If turf is more your thing, you might add to your Earth Day doings the “Edible Landscapes, Permaculture and Garden Planning” workshop taking place from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday, April 21, at the Long Beach Grange Hall (5715 Sandridge Road in Long Beach). Whether you have five acres or a 200-square-foot balcony, Lee Knott, with nine years of permaculture experience, will discuss the varieties of edible/usable food plants and suggest a plan for sustainable plantings for your space. The class is free for Grange members, $5 for nonmembers. For more information, call (360) 642-4953.

Some folks think giving Mother Earth only one day a year is hardly fair. Got alternative energy? If you’re really serious about giving Mother Earth a break and you’re ready to dive into alternative energy for your home or business, take a look at the powerhouse business a quartet of young entrepreneurs has put together – Pacific Coast Light and Power. Jason Knott built a “green house” with eco-friendly materials, alternative energy, reused materials and many other aspects of an energy-efficient home. Since he spent two years wading through the research, building codes and rebate information for his family, he figured, “Why not make this expertise available for others?” So Knott rounded up a posse of experts to create a full-service alternative energy team: Rick Schimelpfenig, Josh Davis and Bob Bogar handle all aspects of permitting, equipment selection, installation and rebates. Check them out at http://pclightandpower.com Whatever you choose to do for Earth Day, be sure to give a tip of the hat to the amazing natural ecosystems here on the North Coast.

Deborah Reed to be featured author

‘Painting With Words’ workshop on tap

MANZANITA — Deborah Reed will read from her novel “Carry Yourself Back to Me” at the Manzanita Writers’ Series at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 21, at the Hoffman Center. Both critics and fellow authors have praised the novel. “Part whodunit, part romance, part family drama, and part childhood remembrance, Reed’s debut is a dense, psychologically complex meditation upon the flawed yet resilient nature of family and love that is simultaneously meditative and fast-paced.” —BOOKLIST “Deborah Reed’s novel, ‘Carry Yourself Back to Me,’ marries gorgeous and wise prose with a can’t-help-but-read-one-morechapter plot. In it, Reed weaves a complex story of love and longing that’s mysterious, intelligent and full of heart. She had me from

Readers will enjoy the novel’s engaging characters, intricate plot, and beautifully rendered sense of place. —Publisher’s Weekly

The Paul & Mary Barthelemy Concert Series presents

Deborah Reed will be featured author at Manzanita Writers’ Series April 21, at the Hoffman Center.

“Carry Yourself Back to Me” was selected as a Best Book of 2011 Amazon Editors’ Pick. It also inspired an original song by Zia McCabe of the Dandy Warhols. Reed’s first book, “A Small Fortune,” a thriller written under the name of Audrey Braun, published to critical acclaim in July 2011. Local writers (and readers) will be fascinated by the unusual path her book publishing has

taken. You’ll learn how she leveraged a self-published e-book into a 3-book contract, with some interesting twists along the way. Her work has appeared in The Center For Fiction’s The Literarian, The Nervous Breakdown, Opium Magazine, More Magazine and elsewhere. Reed is currently getting her Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Pacific University and is at work on a new literary novel. Following Reed’s reading and question and answer session, the our popular Open Mic will be held, where up to nine local writers will read five minutes of their original work. Admission for the evening is $7. The series is a program of the Hoffman Center and will be held at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave., across from Manzanita Library. Further information and the 2012 schedule are available at hoffmanblog.org online or contact Vera Wildauer at vwildauer@gmail.com

North Coast Land Conservancy

Tokeland Hotel

Celebrate Earth Day at Circle Creek

Annual studio tour coming soon

SEASIDE — North Coast Land Conservancy, the Rotary Club of Seaside, the Necanicum Watershed Council and SOLVE are joining together to celebrate Earth Day Saturday, April 21, by hosting a community tree planting event at the 364-acre Circle Creek Habitat Reserve. Since 2004, North Coast Land Conservancy – with the support of hundreds of volunteers – has been reestablishing forested habitat throughout the pasture along Circle Creek, an important waterway for spawning coho and chinook salmon and winter steelhead trout. Seven years and 20,000 trees later, the planting is still going strong. A large part of the Circle Creek property is a Sitka spruce swamp, a now rare habitat that was once common all along the North Coast. Circle Creek is a place of great biodiversity – elk, beavers, otters, bald eagles, black bears, Canada geese and many different waterfowl and migrating songbirds all make use of the swamp, open pasture, scrubshrub thickets and emergent wetlands that exist in this special place. This year, volunteers will be spending the day planting a Memorial Forest Grove in the south pasture in honor of members of the community and the Rotary Club of Seaside. The planting will run from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at NCLC’s Circle Creek Habitat Reserve, located at 32825 Rippet Road, off U.S. Highway 101 just south of Seaside. The schedule includes The Forest Remembers at 10 a.m. This is NCLC’s annual ceremony in The Grove at Circle Creek acknowledging all memorial gifts made to the land trust in honor of friends and loved ones. From 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. the Ro-

Toad Hall Special performance of children’s classic scheduled OCEAN PARK, Wash. — For more than 100 years, the stories of Toad and his animal friends from “The Wind in the Willows” have delighted children and adults alike. A musical adaptation by English composer John Rutter will be performed at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 22, in the Ocean Park Methodist Church at 262nd Place and Park Avenue. The cast includes some of the Long Beach Peninsula's most popular actors/singers, with several area youngsters as special guest artists. There will be a reception following the performance. Admission is a donation of nonperishable food or cash for the Food-4-Kids program.

n Oregon’s 36 counties, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, we are a population just shy of 3,900,000. In 28 of those counties, somewhere between 50 percent and 80 percent of public school kids are eligible for the national free or reduced school lunch program. Get ready for this one: Oregon ranks No. 1 nationally for childhood hunger and comes in at No. 2 for overall, across-the-board hunger. In Clatsop County, with just fewer than 38,000 people, approximately 50 percent of all school kids are eligible for the free or reduced school lunch program. More than 13 percent of residents, whatever their ages, live in poverty. Across the Astoria Bridge, Washington’s Pacific County has a population of around 21,000, and of those, one in five people of all ages are “food insecure” – that’s about 4,500 residents, according to Washington’s Food Lifeline website. It’s hard to fathom these numbers unless it’s happening at your house or you’re involved in a hunger relief program. They’re disheartening figures and facts, but here comes the good part: There are many people and programs out there doing their best to help in the fight against hunger. And they are doing it in a variety of ways that makes them part of a proactive community. In Clatsop County, the Clatsop Community Action Regional Food Bank has only two paid staff members: Director Marlin Martin and Operations Manager Dusten Martin (and if you’re wondering, the answer is “yes” – they’re father and son). Both of them work with the dedication and efficiency of a small army, ably assisted by a cadre of able and dedicated volunteers. The team sees the hunger problem as a people-active-food-active food chain. Providing food to 38 partner agencies made up of pantries, hot meal sites, shelters and other programs that assist low-income, hungry people, the food bank operates out of a 10,000-square-foot facility in Warrenton. Its warehouse/distribution center offers dry groceries (including pet food), fresh produce, frozen meats, dairy items, bakery products, household products and frozen foods. In its 2010-11 fiscal year, according to a CCA Food Bank brochure, “the Food Bank and its network of partner agen-

Tasting new beverages, Part 3: Gimmick sodas

W

hile gallivanting around Seaside “doing research” for last week’s special Seaside-themed issue, I happened upon some new places I’d normally not set foot in. The category of “best sweets shop” had been suggested for that column, and though I’m well aware of how many there are in town, I can’t lie; I just don’t like candy. Plus, I like familiar territory (read: I’ve reviewed the place before) for such an article. I’d enjoyed Dundee’s doughnut annex when I reviewed it, found that it was something Seaside needed, and I could lump their “sweets” in with the variety Dundee’s offers in the “best place to please everyone” category. But I’d popped into a few candy stores anyway, noted the taffy and fudge, and moved on. My last stop was The Buzz on Broadway, which was more my speed. Nostalgic items like candy cigarettes are available. I grabbed a pack, picked up a chain of orange Zotz for my brother, took in the Pez display, and just as the overpowering sweet smell had about driven me from the premises, I caught a very promising glimpse through the mass of spring breakers. In a cooler at the other end of the store was a bottle of Moxie. I’d had Moxie years ago on a family trip around North America. It’s a New England mainstay we tried in Maine, and ended up bringing bottles back with us to share with friends. Few liked it then, but what about now? Next to Moxie was a bottle of Lester Fixin’s Bacon Soda, and a corn-flavored pop next to that. It hit me: In November, I’d written a couple of beverage tasting articles covering diet sodas, aloe drinks, teas, herb waters, cucumber sodas and more. I didn’t get around to the promised Kombucha or sipping vinegars, deciding to lump those in with some of the stranger exotic ethnic drinks a friend was collecting in Portland. That will be the fourth and final installment of this series, running next month. For now, we’re tasting “gimmick sodas.” This started as fun. We picked up 15 different bottles from The Buzz, another eight from its sister store Beach Bites next door, and a lot of paper cups from Dollar Tree. Eight friends joined me in popping the tops and passing around the bottles. But none of us were really sweet soda drinkers, and we

immediately discovered that even one ounce at a time, the sweetness was going to be challenging. Plus, many were just terrible. What follows is a brief description of some, and comments from the team. Nu Grape Soda – This was filled all the way to the top, which is unusual. A standard purple, this was quite flat, prompting “it’s like a thawed Otter Pop.” “This reminds me of cheap candy.” Nesbitt’s Peach – This was nice and carbonated after the Nu Grape. “The artificial color and flavor are both peachy.” “It’s sour, but that’s better than too sweet.”

Bright blue. “Smells fruity, in a general kind of way.” “Where’s the vanilla of cream soda?” “Doesn’t taste like it smells.” “Meh.” “Why blue?” Lester Fixin’s Coffee Soda – Dark, but not like black coffee.

Part of a jokey “SodaScusting” line of drinks. “Smells like a bag of Sour Patch Kids.” “Grapey.” “I like this one!” Lester Fixin’s Sweet Corn Soda – Golden yellow. Ironically sweetened with pure cane sugar. “Creamed corn juice.” “Buttery yet cloying.” “Canned corn water with sugar.” Looks like Orange, Tastes like Grape – “They ruined the surprise!” Avery’s Kitty Piddle – “Tastes like grapefruit, orange and pineapple.” “This would be good with gin.” Moxie – Dark like cola. “Smells like BandAids.” “Smells like cough syrup.” “I smell Necco wafers.” “Like cola, root beer and medicine. I could get used to it.” All bottles from The Buzz and Beach Bites are $2.05 + deposit, with a 10 percent discount per sixpack. Well, it was a tough assignment. My distaste for sweets lost out to my daring desire for the weird and exotic. The final installment is even stranger as we take on cinnamon punch, salted yogurt milk, Kombucha with Chia seeds (yes, as in Chia pets), Russian sodas and more!

Is political bipartisanship possible in the 21st century?

It’s a tasty treat for the ears

ASTORIA — Does Abraham Lincoln’s adept use of bipartisanship during the Civil War offer guidance in dealing with the polarizing controversies of the 21st century? A new program will look at what today’s leaders might learn from Lincoln’s handling of slavery, emancipation and civil rights, political patronage and reconstruction during the Civil War era. Can these lessons serve as a model of bipartisan behavior as we debate healthcare, immigration reform, tax policy and conflicting sources of government power? This is the focus of “Lessons from Lincoln,” a free conversation with Richard W. Etulain at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 26, at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial St. The program is hosted by the Lower Columbia Diversity Project and sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Etulain is professor emeritus of history at the University of New Mexico, where he taught American history and cultures and directed its Center for the American West, and has taught at Northwest Nazarene University and Idaho State University. He holds a doctorate in American history and literature from the University of Oregon. His most recent book is “Lincoln Looks West: From the Mississippi to the Pacific.” He has

TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook County Women’s Resource Center will hold its third annual musical event from 3 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 22, featuring the local musical trio Chocolate Mousse. The event will be held at the United Methodist Church at 2605 12th St. Chocolate Mousse has been performing as a group for about four years, with a unique ensemble of instruments that create a sound noted as “rich and delicious.” The group is comprised of Tillamook residents, with Dennis Wagner on harmonica, Jeanna Stephens on cello and Joanne Petty playing piano. The group performs throughout the Portland area and their latest recordings will be available for purchase at the event. The event, themed “When You Wish Upon a Star,” will consist of an array of popular and classical hits, including “Ave Maria,” “The Prayer,” “New York, New York” and “Just the Way You Look Tonight.” Patrons will also be treated to vocal performances by 8-year-old Emily Nord-Rush singing “When You Wish Upon a Star” and 22-year-old Johnathan Stephens singing a rendition of “The Verita” as performed by world-renowned singer Josh Groban. There will also be a cameo appearance by a surprise local drummer. As an added treat, the community will be invited to join in and sing along to a few popular favorites, led by local choir teacher Jeri Lee Henderson. Attendees can brush up their vocal cords and prepare to sing “Let Me Call You Sweetheart” and “You Are My Sunshine.” This easy-listening event will feature food and beverages provided by the Women’s Resource Center.

Cannon Beach Photo Review Sign up now for chance at professional portfolio review CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Photo Review, a weekend-long event which will debut Oct. 12 through 14, has launched its website and is currently enrolling participants. The CBPR is an opportunity for professional and serious amateur photographers to network with industry leaders in the field. The main focus of the event is the portfolio review, in which participants will sit face to face with editors, museum curators and magazine publishers and have their work examined in 20-minute sessions. This is an amazing opportunity for photographers to establish professional contacts in the field that could lead to job assignments in well-known magazines as well as exhibition opportunities in galleries and museums. The photo review format is a national trend, often on a large scale 16 | April 19, 2012 | coastweekend.com

with hundreds of participants. In contrast, the Cannon Beach Photo Review will be an intimate venue to network within because it is limited to 48 participants. Event organizer Don Frank is a professional photographer who thought Cannon Beach would be the perfect venue for a photo review. The CBPR will bring world-class reviewers to the region in an unprecedented weekend. In addition to the portfolio review, photographers and reviewers will be part of a group exhibition at the Cannon Beach Gallery during October. The weekend will kick off with a Friday night artist reception in which photographers can view each others’ work and meet reviewers such as Brooks Jensen, the publisher of LensWork Magazine, and Katie

Taft, a curator from Denver. The CBPR weekend will also include a keynote party Saturday, Oct. 13; a peer review session Sunday, Oct. 14; and photo excursions led by professional photographers of Cannon Beach. Registration is $395 through PayPal. Submissions for the nonjuried group exhibition must be in the Plywerk format. The Cannon Beach Photo Review is being produced by the nonprofit Cannon Beach Arts Association in conjunction with a grant from the city of Cannon Beach. Currently, the event is being sponsored by Plywerk of Portland and LightBox Photographic Gallery of Astoria.

CCC Performing Arts Center Canadian folk troubadour to perform ASTORIA — Coast Community Radio presents Canadian folk troubadour James Keelaghan. For almost a quarter of a century, this poet laureate of the folk and roots music world has gone about his work with a combination of passion, curiosity, intent and intensity. His masterful storytelling has, over the course of nine recordings, been the bedrock of his success, earning Keelaghan nominations and awards – including a Juno (Canada’s Grammy) – and acclaim from Australia to Scandinavia. Admiration and respect for his work among his peers is reflected in the words of David Francey who stated, “James Keelaghan is a voice in contemporary Canadian songwriting who has helped us define who we are as a people. He writes with great humanity and honesty, with an eye to the past and a vision of the future. He has chronicled his

A brilliant tunesmith who has become one of the most engaging performers

of our time. You always know the journey with James is going to be great, you just never know what all the destinations are. That is why the curve on his career continues to rise.” It was Dave Marsh, the award-winning American music critic and historian who said that Keelaghan is “Canada’s finest songwriter.” Keelaghan will be in concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 20, at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center at 16th Street and Franklin Avenue.

"Arearea no Varua ino (Words of the Devil, or Reclining Tahitian Women)," oil on canvas by Paul Gauguin, 1894. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen.

Seeking paradise “Gauguin in Polynesia” beckons at the Seattle Art Museum

“I

am a savage and people expect this.” And maybe they did, those sophisticates back in Paris, just before the turn of the 20th century. At that time and place, Paris is often defined as the haute couture center of the world. And the man who defined himself as “savage,” and his brilliant art as “exotic,” was Paul Gauguin. One hundred thirty years later, his paintings, woodblocks, carvings and ceramics are on a world-class exhibit in our own Rain City, Seattle. And you just might define yourself as “loco” if you miss this show, for it is as rich as the artwork that defines Paul Gauguin as a master of modern Western painting. This was a complex man, a man with questionable morals, a rebel

and hedonist, at least by 19th-century standards. What Gauguin wished and wanted was not the savage, but the wild and free, an indigenous people and place, in this case, Tahiti, an island, hopefully untouched and unaltered by the European colonial destiny. When Gauguin landed in

and the process is made easier if you’re living in paradise. Gauguin, himself, is defined by art historians as a Post Impressionist. But the thing with Gauguin is this: He dreamed in color, beautiful primary colors: coral, curry yellow, heavenly striking blues, rhododendron and tangerine.

"Self-Portrait Dedicated to Carrière," oil on canvas by Paul Gauguin, 1888 or 1889. National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C., collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul Mellon, 1985.

22 | April 19, 2012 | coastweekend.com

Papeete in 1891, he realized that he was a century too late. The French had just installed electricity and European disease had already ravaged the natives. Bright-colored sarongs (bright like the primary colors of Gauguin’s palette) had been replaced by drab missionary frocks. Christianity was blooming like the rich array of exotic plants that defined and infiltrated the stunning landscape. The paradise (that on earth, not in heaven) Gauguin expected had receded. He moved down-island to Mataiea, some 45 kilometers – and a world – away. More than 50 paintings are on exhibit at SAM, and many qualify as masterworks. Just now, we’ll let Gauguin define the creation of his own artwork. “Poetry emerges here of its own accord, and it can be evoked simply by allowing oneself to dream while painting.” Dream he did,

His colors are hot. He mixed them hot. Often, he applied them with painterly brushstrokes, but frequently in flat large swatches: all-cerulean sky, all-hot pink ground cover, and clouds painted as pure lavender as a summer rose. What he painted wasn’t what he saw, but rather what he felt or interpreted. Here comes the dream world again, the painted metaphor, or at least a representation of his fertile imagination. And if generally his imagination played out like a free wild man (Gauguin painted almost entirely women), his artwork remains an embodiment of primitive consciousness. Aside from convenient titles,

Gauguin stands alone as his own man. His paintings are as individual as his personality. Gauguin spent five years in Polynesia and then sailed back to France in 1893. A couple of years there were enough. As the artist put it, “Paul Gauguin had to choose between the savages here (in Paris), or those over there (in Tahiti).” He sailed away, this time forever. He arrived in Tahiti in 1895. There, he again painted the images of death and beauty. He arrived at a synthesis of form and color that seems to embody poetry. “Timeless,” declares Gauguin. “Color has a quality of music and poetry.” In one of his woodcuts (“L’univers est cree” - the creation of the universe), all black and white dominates. The world is swimming in dream images. Once, years ago, I floated in a kayak on a sea driven by a powerful ebb tide. Under the kayak, grasses swayed and danced seductively in the underworld kingdom. Here is Gauguin’s “L’univers est cree,” and I’m struck again by the currents of creativity, by apparitions and pagan winds. Here – in Gauguin’s art – is primitive creation with European interpretation. And here is a chance to gather up loved ones and head to as fine an art show as one will find anywhere in the world. It’s Gauguin’s world, and you dare not miss his extraordinary vision. Come meet the savage. “Gauguin and Polynesia: An elusive paradise” is on exhibit until April 29 at the Seattle Art Museum. Reservations are recommended. Check online: seattleartmuseum.org
