CANNON BEACH — The senior Honors English class at Seaside High School will present the first ever Oregon Coast Literary Award (OCLA) to Craig Lesley for his novel, “The Sky Fisherman.” The award will be presented Thursday, May 31, at the Coaster Theatre, 108 N. Hemlock St. In addition to Lesley accepting the award for his novel, Steve Duin of The Oregonian will offer a keynote address about the role high school students can play in shaping Oregon literature. Beginning in April, students in the course nominated more than 30 Oregon authors. The class measured each nominee against studentdesigned selection criteria and focused special attention on the three finalists: Chuck Palahniuk for “Fight Club,” David James Duncan for “The River Why” and Lesley for “The Sky Fisherman.” After deliberation, the students elected Lesley as this year’s recipient of the award. “We are very excited to have Craig Lesley and Steve Duin come to our first ever OCLA ceremony,” said Taylor Davis, OCLA Marketing Committee member. “The whole class has

been working very hard to make sure this project will be successful for years to come.” Time is set aside each day for the students to work in teams to draft letters to authors, businesses and corporate sponsors; to write press releases and announcements; to design a web page and letterhead; and to debate the merits of the nominated books. “I feel like this project is giving us a taste of the responsibilities we might find in a job someday,” said Ashlynn Yokoyama, Communications Committee member for the literary awards. Thursday’s ceremony at the Coaster Theatre will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Admission is free. The event is open to the community, and the students encourage those interested in education and Oregon literature to attend. The Oregon Coast Literary Award celebrates authors with strong connections to Oregon. It is given annually to a work of literary prestige. Seaside High School seniors enrolled in the class evaluate nominated titles for originality, complexity, timelessness and impact.

Coastal Life Rainy days ‘R’ us

old on to your umbrellas. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Climatic Data Center’s records between 1981 and 2010, rain fell in Astoria an average of 191 days each year, dumping an accumulated 67.3 inches. In Seaside, for each of those 19 years, there was an average 181 days of rainfall, adding up to 75.4 inches of the wet stuff. To provide some perspective, in the U.S., the average woman is around 64 inches tall, and 8-yearold boys and girls, according to Disabled-world.com, both are about 42 inches tall. It’s a good thing we don’t live in buckets. What keeps us from a permanent move to Miami or at least Medford when skies are gray and the ground is soggy day after day for the better part of the year? For answers, we asked welltrained rain management experts – kids! They’ve got the energy and the tenacity to use dreary skies to their advantage. Whether a sprinkle, a shower or a steady downpour, both undercover and out, our experts are … well, expert. Astoria Middle School sixth-graders Gabby Marincovich-Mallares, Jeffrey Stutznegger and Jennifer Yowell collectively agree that there has been no more rain than usual this season. Wet weather doesn’t dampen local real-life play versions of “The Hunger Games,” the wildly popu-

SOME RAIN FACTS • Raindrops can fall at speeds of about 22 miles an hour • Rain is recycled water that has evaporated from lakes, rivers, oceans and seas • Mt.

And Elise makes great sandcastles. “The rain makes the sand wet and it’s easier. It’s really fun when you bury a bottle of pop inside it, shake it up and take off the top. It’s a volcano!” she said. Rain is no deterrent when Elise takes pictures of bugs and then does research on them. Alissa takes pictures of shells and Jacob snaps pictures of storms which he then puts in a book with labels and dates. Inside, they play cards and board games with family and friends, cook, and yes, duct tape is popular. Almost-8-year-old frequent coastal visitor Toots Kelley sees the rainfall as a perfect reason for the family to spend the day at the Astoria Aquatic Center or get in a few hours jumping off sand dunes. Twelve-year-old visitor Ryan Suits says a really rainy day is a great time to play cards all day with his grandparents if they won’t go out and play beach football with him. Whatever the activity – hanging out in local libraries, jumping off sand dunes, splashing through puddles or getting out of the rain to get wet in an indoor swimming pool, running, jumping or standing still – the good news is that our future seems to be in awfully good hands, wet or not.

My weekend Continued from Page 3 Moranis, Mary Steenburgen, Keanu Reeves and a pre-teen Joaquin Phoenix, and will have you alternately howling and dabbing your eyes at the roller coaster ride that is having a family. As patriarch Robards tells his son Steve Martin, “It’s not like that (parenting) all ends when you’re 18, or 21 or 41 or 61 ... it never, never ends. ... There is no end zone; you never cross the goal line, spike the ball and do your touchdown dance. Never.” But if you can spend time doing things together – even watching movies – you’ll agree with the film’s doddering grandmother: What a ride.

Long Beach Peninsula Enjoy the sport of extreme garage sale-ing LONG BEACH, Wash. — Pack your camera, sunglasses a good pair of walking shoes – and plenty of cash – for the “World’s Longest Beach Garage Sale” on the Long Beach Peninsula. For more than 20 years, thousands of folks have come to the Long Beach Peninsula over Memorial Day weekend for the fun-filled annual 28-mile garage sale. This outrageously enjoyable event has steadily grown with steals and deals around every corner and along every block. Beginning Friday, May 25, and continuing through Monday, May 28, you’ll find locals and part-timers selling stuff they’ve accumulated throughout the years, nonprofit organizations which have gathered items from

their members as well as a few professional dealers and vendors selling merchandise. Visitors may want to check the local paper’s listing of sales as a place to start, but you can just drive and look for hundreds of signs lining the main road. In fact, there is no comprehensive list of all the sales and there is no record of anyone who has managed to cover every sale on the Long Beach Peninsula during the weekend. Be prepared to discover some neat places, interesting people and quaint stops. In fact, groups show up each year who are engaged in listed treasure hunts, photo scavenger hunts and other fun activities that have nothing to do with actually shopping.

10 | May 24, 2012 | coastweekend.com

In addition to the Peninsula garage sales, you can also attend the Saturday Market at the Port of Ilwaco. Held every Saturday beginning in April and ending in September, the market offers fresh farm produce, regionally created arts and crafts, potted plants, cut flowers and more. Food is also available including smoked salmon chowder, juicy hamburgers, crunchy kettle corn, hot donuts, handmade sausage and yummy baked goods. You can also watch the boats go by and the catch of the day come in at this unique waterfront location while visiting the market from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more information about the Long Beach Peninsula, visit www.funbeach.com

Robert Gray, commanding Lady Washington’s companion vessel, Columbia Rediviva, spotted what appeared to be a major river. In 1792, after completing the first voyage, he returned to enter the mouth of what he would name the Columbia River.

Who constructed this well-planned fort on the beach at Nehalem Spit? The mystery is as fun to play with as the fort itself.

The fine art of building a fort Unfetter your imagination

henever I ramble the beach with the husky and encounter an abundant supply of driftwood, I immediately size up the potential for a good fort and imagine what my friends and I would have constructed in our youth. Forts excited our passion. We built them anywhere and everywhere. I remember the summer days of riding our bicycles (without a helmet) to the woods near the edge of Oregon City (without bottled water, a cell phone, music or energy drinks). There we played war and nothing but war. It was always World War II, never Vietnam, an epic catastrophe then about to crawl into the light at the end of the tunnel. We fought the Nazis and Japanese and dug trenches and bunkers. We built forts so tight they could’ve withstood a bazooka round. We executed basic squad tactics and stole butter knives from home to affix as bayonets on our toy M-1s and lied to our mothers about inexplicably missing tableware. Somehow, we all owned entrenching tools, flints and canteens. There was never an adult around to supervise. We came home at dusk, starving, exhausted. Then we’d get up in the morning, throw down some sugary cereal, improvise a sack lunch, ride out, destroy the old forts in a raid, then rebuild new ones, better ones. No one ever got hurt and we made our way into adolescence just fine without structured play dates.

Building forts with your friends in the woods tends to do that. Those summer days came rushing back to me a while back after discovering a fort on one of my regular beach rambles. It’s truly a rare thing to see one these days. I could count on one

It’s not like there’s a lack of driftwood and kids either. What’s going on with that? Whatever the sociological reasons, I do everything I can to arrest this depressing trend. In my teaching at Newport High School, I weave in building forts as part of the curriculums for four different

change your life. It probably won’t cost a cent either unless you want to bring along some candles and incense. It was October and the sky exuded a couple of shades of gray as I cruised the sandy berm of my local beach looking for limpets. In the distance I saw a structure of some kind. I walked toward it and soon recognized the bleached façade of a somewhat circular fort. From the outside I could tell it was solidly built, logs sunk deep into the sand. Built smartly too, because the creators situated it well above the wrack line so conceivably it could have lasted well into winter. (It’s not there anymore.) Next, the husky and I went inside and made our inspection: a fire ring, benches, seaweed, shell, rope and feather decorations, alternating planks, pallets and logs, a rectangular window, more like a slat, with an ocean view. Then it hit me like a blow from a skillet – an advanced aesthetic was at work, or should I say tease, here. The window beckoned me. I noticed an etched sign resting at an angle on some ancient logs. It read: “Fort Sex.” Ohhhh, the kids these days. Thank god some parents allowed them a little unsupervised play. But wait. Maybe adults built this fort. Maybe this was some spontaneous therapy for a passionless partnership. It hardly matters who built the fort. It’s only important that it was made, and made well.

STORY BY KATE GIESE • PHOTOS BY ALEX PAJUNAS

The Astoria School of Ballet brings classical music to life for kids with performances featuring “Peter and the Wolf” and “The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra”

W Hunter Tyler Stanley takes aim during a rehearsal of the Astoria School of Ballet's “Peter and the Wolf.”

PHOTO FROM WWW.DISNEYLICIOUS.COM

In 1946, Walt Disney produced an animated version of "Peter and the Wolf" by Sergei Prokofiev. Sterling Holloway was the narrator of this segment of the film, "Make Mine Music." "Peter and the Wolf" was later rereleased as a short of its own accompanying a reissue of "Fantasia," and then as a Mini Classic on home video.

14 | May 24, 2012 | coastweekend.com

riter and avid dance fan Robert Caro enthused, “The ballet embodies the notes of music. And sometimes you almost feel like you can see the notes dance up there on the stage.” In the same vein, legendary ballet choreographer George Balanchine said, “Ballet is music visualized.” Audiences will get the opportunity to experience this for themselves at the Liberty Theater, as the Astoria School of Ballet celebrates the inextricable connection between music and dance in three performances – two matinees which are strictly for kids from area schools and an evening performance open to the general public at 7 p.m. Friday, May 25. The school’s 35 dancers, ages 3 to 15, will strut their terpsichorean stuff to music composed expressly for kids: Sergei Prokofiev’s “Peter and the Wolf” and Benjamin Britten’s “Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, Op. 34.,” subtitled “Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell.” “I’ve always wanted to do ‘Peter’ – it’s so catchy and the melodies are easy and nice for children,” explained ASB’s director, Margaret “Maggie” Wall. Pairing Prokofiev’s composition with Britten’s, which was first performed in 1946, is an inspired idea – making for entertainment that’s fun and educational, too. “We’ll be doing the ‘Young Person’s Guide,’ which introduces the different pieces of an orchestra. Then, in ‘Peter,’ each instrument or group of instruments will represent a character … (and) show how they are applied in a musical piece,” added Wall. Britten was a British composer who had a family that included young children. According to Wall, “He wanted to reach them musically. So, he composed a piece that educated them about the different parts of an orchestra – their qualities, for example the tones of an oboe and its range. All the different (orchestral) families were covered … the woodwinds, the brass, percussion and strings.” All the dancers and actors come together in a grand finale which features a marvelous theme Britten based on an earlier work by Henry Purcell, a 17th-century composer whom he’d always admired. In 1936, Russian-born composer Sergei Prokofiev

returned from living in the United States and Europe to settle permanently in the Soviet Union. “Peter and the Wolf” was one of his first compositions there, written in just two weeks for a children’s theater in Moscow. Prokofiev invented the story and wrote the narration himself, drawing on memories of his own childhood. He constructed the music so that … The Bird’s Theme is played by a flute. The Duck’s Theme is played by an oboe. The Cat’s Theme is played by a clarinet. The Grandfather’s Theme is played by a bassoon. The Wolf’s Theme is played by French horns. The Hunter’s Theme is played by the timpani drums. Peter’s Theme is played by the orchestra’s strings. By all accounts, the work was an immediate success and has been loved by children all over the world ever since. The music is sophisticated enough to be enjoyed by adults, even with repeated hearings, and its moral – you can’t be a hero if you don’t take risks – continues to inspire. The performances at the Liberty are the culmination of some very hard work on the part of ASB students, for whom appearing at the theater is the highlight of the year. “It’s awesome to see the kids on stage, learning how to express themselves without words –

how being up there makes them feel special and important,” says their teacher. Too, with kids bussed in from all over the county and parts of Washington to attend the matinee performances, the wee dancers get to play to packed houses. There were no auditions; the director picked who would play what part. “That’s mainly because I know them so well,” she explains. “I see them regularly and know their abilities and personalities. I know, for example, who’s going to really ham it up as the Duck or be coy and sleek as the Cat. Of course, it does come down to individual ability in the end.” Maria Heyen, age 11, will play the Wolf and has studied ballet since she was 3. She’s an old pro who’s danced at the Liberty several times, but admits to having the jitters at first. Her sister, Ann, age 9, along with Victoria “Tory” Smith, 9, K’Lynn Busby, 9, and Lindsay Hunt, 11, will dance the part of the Pond. They’re excited at the prospect of the kids at their schools seeing them on stage. All of them say they’re big fans of Mikhail Baryshnikov too. Local resident Drew Herzig will play the role of Peter’s grandfather. Herzig has performed with the ASB before, in its production of “Hansel and Gretel.” “He’s fantastic,” enthused Wall. With costumes, sets and props involved, Wall is fortunate to have help. Her husband, Nate Sandel, pitches in, but so do the parents of students. The latter furnish help with everything from painting and building sets to sewing costumes and much more. “I can coordinate and say what I want. But my husband Sariah Dieffenbach plays the role of the Bird in the Astoria School of Ballet's “Peter and the Wolf.”

and I couldn’t do it all,” exclaimed a grateful Wall. “We’re also lucky to have great sponsors – the Seaside Outlet Mall and City Lumber.” The refined, seemingly serene world of ballet isn’t without its crazy moments, apparently. A comedy of errors involving the supplier, UPS and the weather delayed delivery of costumes for an ASB performance last year. Remembered Wall, “Literally five minutes before the first show, a delivery came to the theater. I was ripping open boxes and bags. Kids were getting dressed as I was pushing them out on stage.” As they say in the biz, the show must go on. Pond members from “Peter and the Wolf” include, from left, Lindsay Hunt, Annie Heyen, Victoria Smith, Rowan Fay and K'lynn Busby.

The story of “Peter and the Wolf” as performed by the Astoria School of Ballet Peter, a brave, bold boy, lives with his grandfather on the edge of a big, beautiful meadow. One morning, the boy opens the gate and goes out into the green meadow where he meets his friend, the bird. A duck waddles by to take a swim in the pond. The bird and duck argue while Grandfather’s pet cat slyly stalks them both. At Peter’s warning, the bird flies to safety in a tree, while the duck seeks refuge in the pond. Grandfather appears and scolds Peter for being out in the meadow when a wolf could come without warning from the nearby forest. He takes Peter home, locking the garden gate behind them. It’s not long before a big gray wolf does appear in the meadow. The cat quickly climbs a nearby tree, but the duck foolishly jumps out of the pond and is chased by the wolf, who catches the duck and swallows her whole. Peter returns to the meadow and sees the wolf. He gets a rope and climbs the tree where the cat and the bird are cowering. He then makes a lasso while the bird flies about to distract the wolf. Peter snares the wolf with the lasso. As the wolf struggles to get free, he only tightens the rope around its neck, so Peter ties the rope around the tree. Some hunters who’ve been tracking the wolf appear and are ready to shoot, but Peter stops them. Together, they all take the wolf to the zoo.

don’t spend a whole lot of room on this page reporting on children’s menus and kidfriendly environments. I just don’t think they require my expertise. Honestly, family restaurants tend to serve extremely predictable fare, especially when it comes to the cute little children’s menu/coloring page. I don’t avoid these places; I just space them out so I only visit so many every year. Even then, I don’t usually bring kids along. Family restaurants exist out of convenience; they’re places that cater to all ages, with quickly turned tables, affordable prices and simple, traditional dishes. But if you’re taking the kids out, family restaurants aren’t your only option. Aside from a few ultra high-end places, most establishments gladly accommodate children, regardless of the price or genre of their offerings. At most restaurants, the children’s menu consists of several types of generic “kid food.” Kid food can generally be summed up thusly: hot dog, small plain hamburger, chicken strips, grilled cheese, peanut butter and jelly, macaroni and cheese. Take a look next time – they rarely deviate from the script (except to maybe add a cutesy twist to or deliberately misspell the name). And why is that? Well, kids are traditionally finicky when it comes to what they’ll eat. It’s hard enough getting them to try something new at home. When out at a strange locale with strangers bringing the food, it behooves the restaurant to make it as plain and least intimidating as possible. I’ve had food come back to the kitchen because the kid was afraid of the garnish. And don’t expect a better version of any of that kid food. They want the little plain hot dog on the small soft bun. They want the box macaroni and cheese, not any highfalutin baked dish with actual cheese in it. They will not appreciate the artisan bread you made that peanut butter and jelly with. Of course, this is a broad generalization.

Not all kids are so timid; I certainly wasn’t. Which made it nice when my family took us out to ethnic (read: Americanized ethnic) restaurants. These places usually offer both the boring kid food and smaller portions of their simplest specialties. This way you can introduce Junior to pork fried rice or a cheese en-

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com chilada if he’s all hot dogged out and ready to move on. Locally, we have the usual kid food menus (like I said, it’s just good business sense) and places that take it the extra mile as well. Kid-friendly is about more than the food. If you can provide an activity to keep a 4-year-old occupied for 45 minutes, then everyone’s happy, especially guests who don’t care to listen to fits of crying and screaming. And when it comes to activities, family restau-

rants are the best. Granted, activities are generally limited to some crayons and a coloring page, but some places offer more. Serendipity Caffe in Warrenton has all sorts of magazines, books and games to play. One reader tells me her son likes to play Connect Four with her on their visits. Serendipity also goes the extra mile with fun presentation, offering fun food such as a Mickey Mouse pancake with a fruit face. A small fish tank provides ample distraction, though the Urban

I’ve had food come back to the kitchen because the kid was afraid of the garnish.

Cafe in Astoria has a much larger one with plenty of colorful, exotic fish to gaze at in wonder. Even of the places that serve super-simple fare, some do it in a fun way. The Rogue on Pier 39 in Astoria serves their kid food up on a Frisbee that you get to take home. Kid food at The Rogue also comes with Jell-O, which most kids love. BJ’s Pizza Palace in Seaside has one of those kid-sized Habitrails that should keep them busy for as long as it takes to finish your dinner. I’d rather not include fast food here, but Astoria’s Subway makes a good place for parties because of the play pen in there. And the food is healthier than other fast food with play area options. Seaside is a great place to spend the day. You have the beach, various candy shops, elephant ears, corn dogs and Funland, where you can get a Fultano’s pizza, and the slightly older kids can burn through your money playing Skee-ball and arcade games for useless prizes. Of course, for those of you with children of more discerning tastes, there are other options still. I know that Chef Gordon Clement of Clemente’s in Astoria is happy to make any menu item into a smaller portion for an adventurous eater like he once was. And if you just ask, most restaurants are happy to match this request. But most parents with adventurous eaters tell me that sharing from their own plate is the best way to go. That way, it’s coming from a trusted source, and if they don’t like it, they can always order that hot dog instead.

R-evolution Gardens Wild plants are cool, blacksmithing is hot NEHALEM â&#x20AC;&#x201D; R-evolution Gardens will hold homesteader/naturalist skill building classes with Patrick Farneman in June. There will be a medicine plant identification walk from noon to 3 p.m. Friday, June 8, and Blacksmithing 101 on the Farm from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 9. Farneman is the founder of the nonprofit Bridges to the Past (www.bridgestothepast.org), which teaches ancestral living skills and sustainable living. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been called a walking treasure trove of information about the natural world and all kinds of hands-on skills such as making blades from recycled steel and crafting medicines from common weeds. Herbal Medicine Walk Dock, horsetail, thistle, plantain â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you think these are merely weeds, think again. Herbalists consider them important plants with their own healing medicines. Class participants will take a walk to examine and discuss the plants, with a focus on the unintentional cultivars in gardens, ditches and waste areas. The class will also likely take a look at forest

and riparian areas. Emphasis will be placed on edible and medicinal plants and ways to learn and remember them in times of need. Cost is $25 for a three-hour guided plant walk. Dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. Notebook and cameras are encouraged to document plants. Blacksmithing 101 on the Farm Learn to make and use a blacksmith forge cheaply and with upcycled and repurposed items using ecologically friendly fuel. Students will be guided in the making of a project using hot-forging techniques with an emphasis on making garden-related tools from scrap steel. Class size is limited to eight people. Cost is $75 for the day, which includes all materials. Bring a bag lunch and enjoy a fresh salad provided by the farm. Register by emailing info@revolutiongardens.com or calling Ginger Salkowski at (503) 368-3044. Space is limited and these classes tend to fill quickly.

The sale will be at two locations: Fiction and children’s books will be at the Pine Grove Community Center, 225 Laneda Ave., and nonfiction books of all kinds will be at the Hoffman Center, 594 Laneda Ave. There will be several thousands of high-quality, low-priced books at the sale, including mysteries, science fiction, biography, home and garden, cookbooks, psychology and self-help, politics, science and nature, humor and general interest (another term for miscellaneous fascinating topics). The sale, an annual event since 1988, is the primary fundraiser for the Manzanita Library. Proceeds support upkeep and maintenance of the Library’s building and grounds. Staffing and library materials are supplied by the Tillamook County Library system. The library accepts donations of clean, gently used books, CDs and DVDs throughout the year. For further information, contact Tela Skinner at mactela@nehalemtel.net

The Quick and Easy Boys

Tillamook County Fairgrounds

A ‘thinking man’s party band’ rocks the coast The Quick and Easy Boys are currently touring to promote their sophomore full-length album, “Red Light Rabbit,” and will make a series of stops on the North Coast along the way. The Boys are spending the spring on the road, crisscrossing the United States, bringing their brand of danceable, catchy rock music to club after club in an attempt to entertain all those in earshot. The trio’s sound has evolved from a good-time, energetic funk-punk band to an amalgamation of funk, psychedelic rock and garage-soul, with a slight pinch of honky-tonk. Bend-based The Source Weekly’s music editor Mike Bookey wrote about The Quick and Easy Boys that, “They’ve become, in a way, the ideal band – a three-piece rooted in rock and roll that wears its funk and honky tonk influences on its sleeve. Maybe this is what the Hold Steady would sound like if they came up in Oregon and not New York City.” The trio is a rare breed. Imagine a band equally influenced by the Minutemen, Funkadelic, and Willie Nelson, able to make you sing along, laugh, and just have a good time – the ultimate thinking man’s party band. Formed in 2005, The Quick and Easy Boys quickly made a name for themselves in Eugene before heading north and building a Portland fan base. Their shows are an interactive party with electrifying stage antics and profound musical moments as the trio pours out every ounce of their energy, leaving nothing behind. The band has gained the reputation for moving a crowd all-night long, whether it be

The price for students and seniors is $10. The play opens May 25 and runs through June 9, at The Barn Community Playhouse, 1204 Ivy Ave. For more information, call (503) 842-3999 or visit www.tillamooktheater.com

Shanghaied Roller Dolls Roller derby team calls for members ASTORIA — The Shanghaied Roller Dolls Derby League is looking for “fresh meat” to join the all-girls flat track roller derby league. If you are older than 18 and ready to roll, contact shanghaiedfreshmeat@gmail.com or just show up at one of the Fresh Meat Practices. Fresh Meat Practices are Sundays from 2:30 to 5 p.m. at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, 92937 Walluski Loop, off Oregon Highway 202. If you can already skate, great, if not, they’ll teach you. To join the league and start skating you will need a pair of quad skates (not blades), knee, elbow and wrist guards, a helmet and a mouth guard – skateboard pads or a bike helmet are fine. Guys, they need refs, too. It’s the same drill – show up at the Fresh Meat Practice with the required gear.

Anyone for bridge?

Author of true crime drama to visit SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library welcome C.L. Kraemer author of “Shattered Tomorrows.” The event will take place in the Community Room at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 24, and there will be book sales and signings and refreshments will be served. On May 7, 1981, at 10:25 p.m., at the Oregon Museum Tavern in Salem, a gunman entered and opened fire on the patrons. At the end of his 10-minute spree, three were dead, 20 wounded and a fourth died on the way to the hospital. This true-life event is the setting for Kraemer’s novel,

“Shattered Tomorrows.” In the book, Lucy Daniels has suppressed a 30-year-old memory but a visit with an old friend from her past shakes up the thoughts surrounding the shooting. Lucy’s friend pushes her to recall the memory and learns about an incident that changed not only Lucy’s life, but everyone in the town. The story in “Shattered Tomorrows” is especially poignant for Kraemer because in real life, she had been in the Oregon Museum Tavern 15 minutes before the shooting. Her spontaneous decision to leave may have saved her life.

En Plein Air Writing Workshop Register now for August workshop with Matt Love NEHALEM — Award-winning author Matt Love will conduct an all-day “En Plein Air” writing workshop at Lower Nehalem Community Trust’s Alder Creek Farm Saturday, Aug. 25. Space is limited to 15 participants. Study with a master and spend a day that will combine lecture with observation, writing and workshopping your words. “Constructing metaphors from nature is one of the most em-

powering creative exercises an aspiring writer can undertake,” said Love. In this unique writing workshop, the Oregon Coast author and teacher will lead participants through a hands-on reflective process in the beautiful setting of Alder Creek Farm that will culminate in the creation of a personal metaphor that merges several literary and visual genres. Love grew up in Oregon City and is the publisher of Nestucca

Every Monday, rain or shine, they paint in a lovely Cannon Beach locale. During their weekly painting meetings they provide mutual support, critique artistic efforts and share the joy of creativity, as well as just have a great time. Three times a year, over Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends and at the Stormy Weather Arts Festival in November, they create an art gallery at the Visitor’s Center to share and sell their original art works. The following members – Louise Birkenfeld, Susan Bish, Betty Brower, Sheila Brown, Patricia Button, Judith Fredrikson, Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, Mary Ann Gantenbein, Ireta Sitts Graube, Debbie

Barbara Mallon brings waxworking to life

Many of these artists show their work in other venues in the Northwest and their paintings and jewelry adorn homes, necks and wrists throughout the state and the nation. Almost all of the Palette Puddlers show their work at www.trailsendart.org. If you are interested in a specific artist’s work, go to the website, then click on “artists” on the lefthand menu. That will take you to the artist list. But art is always better in person, so the Palette Puddlers invite everyone to come to beautiful Cannon Beach over Memorial Day weekend, meet the artists, watch them work and see these wonderful, reasonably-priced original works of art.

GEARHART — Long Beach, Wash., artist Barbara Mallon will be on hand at Trail’s End Art Association from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 2, demonstrating her encaustic and mixed media techniques. Encaustic is painting done with heated, colored beeswax. Mallon plans to demonstrate some basic forms such as tulips, and show the versatility of layering and working with wax on several panels. She intends to show how the process lends itself to both realistic and abstract pieces. The public is welcome to attend. In addition, Mallon has been named Artist of the Month for June at Trail’s End and will have 15 encaustic paintings on exhibit. The encaustic process dates back to ancient Egypt and can be seen in lifelike facial images on sarcophagi, as well as other artwork treasures. Mallon says that

along with beeswax and pigments, she likes to incorporate foils, beads and other collage materials into her work. She sometimes uses materials that give a “see-through” effect using five or more layers. Mallon will also offer an encaustic workshop at Trail’s End Art Association from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30

p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 17 and 18. Visit www.trailsendart.org for information. Trail’s End Art Association Art Center is located at 656 A St., across from the fire station, and can be reached at (503) 717-9458 or through the website at www.trailsendart.org
