Chinook School Columbia River Symphony comes to Chinook CHINOOK, Wash. — The Columbia River Symphony presents a concert at 3 p.m. Sunday, June 3, at the newly renovated Chinook School Gym. Admission is $10, and the symphony will be donating 50 percent of the proceeds to help fund the costs of renovating the Chinook School. The symphony will perform all four movements of Robert W. Smith’s “The Odyssey” – The Iliad, The Winds of Poseidon, The Isle of Calypso and Ithaca. “This symphony has plenty of haunting but beautiful melodies, numerous instrumental solos, exciting percussion effects, and is filled with lots of drama,” said symphony director Cory Pederson. “The Odyssey” is based on Homer’s literary epic of the same name. The tale of his “odyssey” has been lauded as one of the most imaginative, fantastic and influential works of literature of all time. Based on this literary epic, Smith’s symphony offers the listener an incredible series of musical adventures as they are seen through Odysseus’ eyes. Other performances will include a number of solos from local residents of the North Oregon Coast: “Harlem Nocturne,” by Earle Hagen (Josh Stahly – alto saxophone

Columbia River Symphony 3 p.m. Sunday, June 3 Chinook School Gym 810 U.S. Highway 101, Chinook, Wash. Free admission soloist), “Freya: Goddess of Beauty and Love,” by Robert W. Smith (Donna Carson – bassoon soloist), “The Old Grumbly Bear,” by Julius Fucik (Katie Dowell – tuba soloist), and “Defiance,” by James Newton Howard (Charles Schweigert – clarinet soloist). “Hymn to the Fallen,” by John Williams, will also be performed, as Williams himself dedicated this music to the real-life heroes who were portrayed so convincingly in the film, “Saving Private Ryan.” Pederson stated, “This is an exciting time for our symphony, and the added bonus of being able to perform for the Chinook community and to raise money to assist in the restoration of the Chinook School is an opportunity that I wish to thank the Friends of the Chinook School for allowing us to do. I

want families and friends to come out, enjoy the hard work of our musicians, while at the same time, helping to fund the refurbish efforts brought forth by the Friends of the Chinook School.” The town of Chinook, Wash., has no public community building to offer outreach, educational, cultural, recreational and/or emergency activities to the community. Children, elders and the disabled must travel long distances to seek support from community agencies. Over time, the Chinook School has deteriorated to the point that it cannot be used. Friends of Chinook School, a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, has already saved and restored the historic 1921 gymnasium (where this concert will be held), and is looking to raise funds to save the school. The mission of this nonprofit group is “to refurbish and utilize the historic Chinook School for the cultural, educational, social, economic and recreational benefit of the community.” For more information on the Friends of Chinook School, visit www.friendsofchinookschool.org For more information on this concert, future concerts, or joining to play with the Columbia River Symphony, visit www.columbiariversymphony.org

Top to bottom: The trek to gather watercress led author and innkeeper David Campiche to a nest of green by an old Chinook village. The search began in an environment of wild fern and sorrell he calls "the green lap of the world."

On the trip home, the gatherers faced a storm on the Columbia River.

Battle on the Bay Annual crabbing event to benefit local nonprofits ROCKAWAY BEACH — Jetty Fishery owners Shirley and Jean Laviolette and Kelly’s Brighton Marina owners Janice and Kelly Laviolette have added a new twist to the annual Nehalem Bay Crab Derby. Instead of “splitting” the Derby – one day at Brighton, one day at Jetty – the Derby will be held Saturday, June 9, at both marinas. “The crabbing tides are later on Sunday, and folks want to head home by mid-afternoon,” said Janice. “There will be consolation prizes for any one that catches a tagged crab on Sunday, June 10th.” There will also be a friendly competition between Jetty Fishery and Kelly’s Brighton Marina. Each marina will release 26 speciallycolored tagged crabs, for a total of 52 “winning” crabs. Crab derby participants pay a $10 entry fee, and if they catch a tagged crab are entered into a drawing for spectacular prizes – in-

cluding top cash prizes up to $1,000. There are special prizes such as the famous vasectomy donated by The Rinehart Clinic, one of the beneficiaries of the fundraising Crab Derby. There is also a “booby” prize – a mammogram and well-woman exam. There are hundreds of donated prizes such as sporting goods, fishing equipment, gift certificates good for meals and accommodations, and locally created artwork. The marinas will compete to see which colorcoded, tagged crabs there are more of at the end of the day, and the marina with the fewest crabs will make an extra contribution to the fundraising event. The Derby proceeds are dedicated to local nonprofits The Rinehart Clinic and the Wildlife Center of the North Coast. Educational displays featuring The Rinehart Clinic with blood-pressure checks and the Wildlife Center with up-

close and personal contacts with rescued animals such as owls and a pelican will be part of the festival. Past Derby events have raised more than $55,000 for these local organizations, which provide valuable services to local residents and visitors. The 2012 Derby date is chosen to coincide with the yearly Free Fishing Weekend, June 9 and 10, when no license for crabbing, clamming or fishing is required. This year they plan to add new activities to the Derby such as a Children’s Art Competition, Clam and Oyster Walk, music performances, beer and wine garden, local vendors and farmers market. For more information about the fun-filled, family-friendly crustacean celebration, go to www.jettyfishery.com, www.kellysbrightonmarina.com, or www.rinehartclinic.org.

Cannon Beach Sandcastle Day New events added to annual beach building festival CANNON BEACH — What is recognized as the West Coast’s oldest sandcastle building celebration and competition is set to expand the festivities this year. In addition to the traditional sandcastle build Saturday, an opening dinner, bonfire, community concert and fun run complete the weekend’s scheduled events. The opening dinner will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 8, at the Tolovana Inn (3400 S. Hemlock St.), featuring $5 “buckets” of spaghetti, clam chowder and salad. The event will offer the opportunity to meet the sandcastle builders and take part in a fun “come one, come all” sandcastle build earlier that day, from 2 to 6 p.m. Packet pick-up starts at 10 a.m. and goes until 6 p.m. Entry fees range from $5 to $20 and viewing of sandcastles is free for spectators. The traditional build for the 48th annual Sandcastle Day begins at 7 a.m. Saturday, June 9, when competitors in six categories vie for awards. From first-time sandcastle building teams and children to “master builders,” this competition – held with the stunning Haystack Rock as the backdrop – is truly a

sight to see. Also on tap for Saturday are such events as a pancake feed from 8 to 10 a.m., a community bonfire at 7 p.m. in front of the Surfsand Resort (148 W. Gower St.) and more, topped off with a concert at 7:30 p.m. at the historic Coaster Theatre (108 N. Hemlock St.), featuring the BeckerHeads. The band’s music varies from country rock to blues and surf instrumentals to Jeff Becker originals, but it all comes from the same place – the good clean sound of classic guitar backed by a solid rhythm section. A fun run or walk is scheduled for 9 a.m. Sunday, June 10, on the beach. Registration is $10. “All of the events we have scheduled for the weekend are designed to be family-friendly, affordable and fun,” said Debbie Nelson, Sandcastle Festival chairwoman. You can pick up registration forms or purchase tickets for all events at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, 207 N. Spruce St. Complete festival information can be found at www.cbsandcastle.com, www.cannonbeach.org or by calling (503) 436-2623.

Liberty Theater ‘Goldbergs on Strings’ varies from traditional Bach ASTORIA — J.S. Bach’s Goldberg Variations are demanding enough when played as they usually are, by a solo performer. Virtuoso violinist Monica Huggett and her Portland Baroque Orchestra take the challenge of the Goldbergs further in a string orchestra arrangement, touring to four cities this summer as part of the Oregon Bach Festival. Presented in association with the Astoria Music Festival, the tour will drop anchor at Astoria’s Liberty Theater Saturday, June 30. This performance marks OBF’s first appearance in Astoria. This string ensemble version, arranged by Russian violinist and conductor Dmitri Sitkovetsky, is quite a variation from the traditional work, originally composed for a single harpsichord performer. “The variations turn out to be quite well suited for string instruments,” wrote Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adams, in his program notes for the piece. “Such a recasting sheds new light on the music by drawing out expressive elements that previously could only be hinted at when played on a harpsichord or even a modern piano.” With 30 complex variations, each movement

seemingly more complex than the last, the piece is famously inventive and considered to be an exceptional example of the variation form of composing. So powerful is the work that the festival is celebrating it not only with the tour, but with other concerts, panel discussions and films. Audiences in Astoria can also get the Variations in a more traditional way, earlier the same day in a solo piano performance by Andrew Brownell. This performance is at 2 p.m. and tickets are $15. The spark igniting the flame behind this year’s Goldberg extravaganza is the double birth and death anniversaries of enigmatic pianist Glenn Gould (1932–1982), who was passionate about Bach’s work and was closely associated with the Goldberg Variations during his life. Sponsored by Oregon Public Broadcasting, the Portland Baroque Orchestra will take to the stage at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, June 30, in the Liberty Theater, 1203 Commercial St. Tickets range from $15 to $29 and can be purchased through the Liberty Theater ticket office or Tickets West.

Tune up those tenor guitars Third annual gathering welcomes legendary artists

hree years ago, Mark Josephs, musician extraordinaire and long-time tenor guitar aficionado, brought a new celebration to the North Coast – the Tenor Guitar Gathering, which this year takes place May 31 through June 3 at various venues in Astoria. As Josephs said, “It’s been fascinating to organize this for the third year. Before we even started this, I’d heard about Astoria and what a great town it is. And now, after doing this for three years in a row, I’ve come in contact with more and more interesting people inside and outside the tenor guitar community. The more you talk about tenor guitars and the more you talk about Astoria, the more fun it gets.” “TGG3,” as Josephs fondly calls this year’s event, features both returning and new topnotch musicians gracing Astoria’s shores for “An Evening of Tenor Guitars” at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 2, at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, 588 16th St. Josh Reynolds, son of legendary Kingston Trio tenor guitarist Nick Reynolds; Spider Murphy, who has been called by some “one of the best tenor guitar players in the world”; Lowell Levinger, one of the original Youngbloods; The Wanderers; Renegade Stringband; and Myschkin will all be playing. With tickets at $15, this could be one of the best musical bargains in of the year. Friday night, June 1, Renegade Stringband will play Hazel’s Tavern at 8 p.m.; and Saturday, after the Performing Arts Center show, the Spider Murphy Band will be onstage in the Voodoo Room from 10 p.m. to midnight. Every year, the momentum builds. “This

This year, post-trolley, there will be a buffet luncheon at the Bridgewater, featuring Levinger. Last year, a TGG fundraiser brought in $500 to a local radio station.

of achievement come together to learn, play and sing. “Saturday morning we’re having these cool tenor guitar workshops,” said Josephs. “Fifteen dollars each, or all for $60.” If you want to know what all the fuss is about, pop into Josephs’ “TG Beginners Workshop” and find out about the tunings that will “unlock the secrets of the tenor guitar.” For a deeper dive, Levinger, aka “Banana” in The Youngbloods, will tell you stories about “real musicians” and give you insights into his approach to the tenor guitar. (Those of a certain age might remember one of The Youngbloods’ claims to fame, “C’mon people now, smile on your bother, everybody get together, try and love one another right now …”) Spider Murphy purports to share “Magic Riffs and Chords” from his 50 years of touring. Josephs calls these workshops “a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Josephs takes to the teaching stage again with a session called “Blues and Swing Songs” which focuses on basic blues changes like those in “Limehouse Blues” and “Beyond the Sea.” So whether you want to listen to some firstclass tenor guitar picking or get into the mix yourself, the TGG3 promises to be quirky and lively in keeping with North Coast musical traditions. Josephs picked exactly the right location when he landed this event in Astoria. “People are so enthusiastic and receptive here,” he said. “It’s fun for me and for all the artists who’ll be playing their hearts out.” For a complete schedule, ticket and T-shirt purchase information, see www.tenorguitargathering.com

The third vehicle licked his lips, then winked rather lecherously at her as he climbed from the vehicle. Julie felt a jolt go all the way through her.

Mag light into the cab, and there on the passenger seat was a rusty and dirt-covered coffee can lying on its side. It was empty. They walked back to the Camry in silence. Matt used the radio to call in the truck’s license number, and in just a few minutes they found out it was, indeed, registered to Jack Robinson, the man who had volunteered to work the movie detail. “Would you like me to patch you through to him?” asked the dispatcher. “He’s off duty right now, but he’s scheduled to be at the Liberty Theater tonight from 8 to 10.” Matt looked at his watch. Seven fifteen. “Apparently the producer of ‘The Fisherman’s Bride’ is meeting with the entire cast and crew tonight,” the dispatcher continued, “and Robinson’s been specifically requested.” Julie suddenly tugged on Matt’s sleeve. “Look.” She pointed. “There’s someone getting into the pickup.” Without tipping his hand, Matt thanked the dispatcher and signed off. Robinson’s truck turned toward them, and just as the headlights threatened to illuminate the two occupants of the Camry, Matt quickly turned his head away from the window, grabbed Julie and kissed her hard. When they came up for air, the pickup was a few blocks ahead of them. “We’ll just follow at a safe distance,” said Matt matter-of-factly, starting the car as if the heat between them wasn’t practically combustible. “If he does go to the Liberty, we can confront him there, in front of witnesses.” Confused, Julie stared out the side window and recited from her research: “The Liberty Theater originally opened in 1925, and has undergone extensive renovation. It’s a registered historical landmark and operates as a performing arts center, concert hall and meeting venue.” She sighed. “And it would be a fabulous place to get married.” Matt nearly choked. “Julie, please – we’ll talk later, I promise, but right now we still have a mystery to solve!”

love restaurant movies, especially those that get it right. They are few. One of my favorites will always be “Big Night,” a 1996 independent film about two Italian brothers trying to make a go of it in their New Jersey restaurant in the ’50s. I feel a kinship with Primo, the older brother running the kitchen. He is uncompromising in his craft. Segundo, his brother running the dining room, wants to give the customers what they want, even if it’s a senseless request such as a side of spaghetti and meatballs with an order of risotto. You wouldn’t serve someone two starch dishes, but it’s the ’50s, and this particular ignorant customer wants her idea of “Italian food” at this Italian restaurant. Primo dismisses her as a philistine who doesn’t understand food after quipping that she might also like some mashed potatoes with that. My kind of chef. Of course, a balance must be struck. Compromises must be made in order to please the customers and keep the doors open. With bills piling up and the restaurant barely afloat, the brothers are given one last chance, a “big night,” to impress musician Louis Prima, get a story in the paper and generate some positive buzz. While drinking and dancing ensues in the dining room, Primo is in the back creating a (for many of the guests) once-in-a-lifetime meal. Their elaborate, multicourse dinner focuses especially on “timpano,” a large, tympani drumshaped dish, and regional term for classic Italian casserole dish timballo. It’s basically pasta with meats and cheeses and sauces enclosed in sheet pasta and baked. When cut into wedges, the colorful array of layered ingredients is an impressive sight, not unlike a classic galantine. “Big Night” touches on many dishes, but focuses the most on the timpano. The time and work spent on this special dish and the reactions of the guests eating it has always inspired me to

make one myself. After a viewing last week, I stood up and exclaimed “Challenge accepted.” And when no one knew what I meant by that, I elaborated: “We’re making a timpano!” While I didn’t buy co-writer, co-director and

a tube pasta similar to penne. Besides, boiling dry pasta is a shortcut, and I don’t believe in half measures. I’ll let you know right now that timpano is an all-day job, even with helpers. Get some wine

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com star Stanley Tucci’s family cookbook with the recipe used in the movie, I did as I usually do making something for the first time: I gathered a half dozen recipes and averaged common ingredients, picking and choosing what I liked best and creating a guideline I could mold into an original recipe. After spending more than $75 on the ingredients and finding a bowl as close to the shape and size seen in the movie, we had our work cut out for us. I wanted to make everything as authentic as possible, and that meant making pasta from scratch. I’ve worked in a couple authentic Italian restaurants and spent many hours cutting and shaping fresh pasta. We’d be making garganelli,

and invite your friends to your “timpano party.” Divide the tasks and everything goes more quickly. I employed the expertise of my brother, who’d made several timpanos over the last few years. Though each one turned out better than the last, he’d encountered some kinks that he thought I’d be able to overcome with my chef schooling and restaurant experience. While the dish is quite adaptable to anything you want to add (I’ve seen recipes with chicken, rice, fish, all sorts of things), we decided on meatballs, salami, hardboiled eggs and an assortment of cheeses to go along with the pasta and sauce. After prepping

Timpano is an all-day job, even with helpers.

all of the ingredients, you roll out a large sheet of pasta dough that will line the bowl and encase the filling. Then, once you’ve oiled the bowl and lined it with the sheet, you add your fillings in layers, with beaten eggs and the cooked and cooled fresh pasta tossed with marinara sauce in between. We used slices of fresh mozzarella, diced provolone and shredded Romano for cheese. Once the bowl is filled to the top, the rest of the pasta sheet is folded over and crimped so that everything is within. And now that it’s ready to go into the oven, the real waiting begins. First the timpano is baked for an hour, uncovered. Then it gets wrapped in foil and baked for another 45 minutes. After it’s removed from the oven, it must rest for one hour. But there’s still the matter of flipping it, which is best done with a spotter nearby. Place a cutting board on the top of the crust, which should be golden brown. Then, holding the cutting board tightly against the bowl, in one deft motion, flip the two so the bowl is face-down against the cutting board. Set on a counter or table. After about five minutes, slowly rotate the bowl to make sure it will come loose. Carefully remove the bowl and gaze upon your glorious creation ... for another hour, while it cools enough to cut. Then, almost four hours after sliding it into the oven, it’s time to eat. Carefully cut into wedges about three inches wide at the edge. Timpano is a dense and filling dish, and will easily serve 12 people. But it makes fabulous leftovers, so I recommend your timpano party be limited to six, so everyone gets a piece to eat cold the next day. For the complete recipe we used and additional pictures of the steps, visit www.coastweekend.com And if you haven’t seen “Big Night,” what are you waiting for?

RiverSea Gallery Vintage photos paint a peek into times past ASTORIA — Who doesn’t love finding an old family snapshot tucked in the back of a drawer? Portland artist Leslie Peterson offers everyone a trip back in time in her new exhibit, “From Now to Yesterday,” at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria. Peterson’s paintings are fresh and colorful interpretations of old photographs rendered large on wood panels. Her work presents glimpses of everyday life in a world just behind us, yet forever gone. “From Now to Yesterday” opens Saturday, June 2, with a First Night reception from 6 to 8 p.m. to celebrate the opening of the show and enjoy music and refreshments. At 6:30 p.m., Peterson will give a short presentation on her style and technique, and share stories about hunting for old photographs around Oregon. Peterson collects vintage snapshots everywhere she goes and seeks casual images of people going about their lives, at work and play. After being drawn to an innocuous snapshot, Peterson sees her challenge as recognizing the great painting inside, and expressing its essence in a nonsentimental way that engages the viewer. She states, “Contemporary art based on vintage images often refers to the photograph as an artifact and highlights the time separation, establishing a distance between the viewer and the subject. I present the image with immediacy and invite the viewer to step into the scene as a contemporary moment.” Peterson’s images are pared down, simple and bold, and she likes the drawing to be visible. She paints in thin layers on wood panels and often lets the grain pattern show through to become a design element in her work. The color of the wood provides a warm undertone to the rich, subtle colors of the painting. After a childhood spent in Oregon, Peterson ventured to New

Seaside Public Library Popular pottery workshop gets a second round SEASIDE — Back by popular demand, the Seaside Library will be offering another two-part Ladies Day Pottery Workshop. The first workshop was so popular that many folks didn’t get to participate, so they are doing a redux. The first class will be Saturday, June 2, and the second class will conclude Saturday, June 9. Both classes will be held from 1 to 3 p.m. in the Community Room. The Friends of the Seaside Library are sponsoring the workshop and all materials will be provided at no cost. Adults need to have creative outlets, too, and the Pottery Workshop is just the place to express your inner artist. In the first session, participants

will use hand-building methods with white earthenware clay to create a marvelous utilitarian vessel. The second class will focus on glazing with a variety of underglaze techniques. Although they are calling this workshop Ladies Day, it is open to men as well. Because of material requirements, registration for the class is required; call or stop by the library circulation desk to sign up.

THE DAILY ASTORIAN

Ilwaco theater to host Pulitzer-winning journalist ILWACO, Wash. — Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist Tom Hallman Jr., of The Oregonian, will be the featured reader at the “Authors at the Playhouse” fundraising event, taking place starting at 7 p.m. Sunday, June 3, at the River City Playhouse. Hallman is considered one of the nation’s top narrative writers. His Pulitzer Prize was awarded for a series of articles about a boy named Sam whose face was severely disfigured. His book, “Sam: The Boy Behind the Mask,” was published in 2002. At the Sunday event he will be reading from his 2012 release, “Amazing Grace: True Stories of the Power of Faith.” Some of his recent articles have made the rounds on Facebook, most recently the story of how one man, after 42 years, tracked down his former teacher to apologize for his poor behavior in high school. It was called “The Apology,” and quickly gleaned more than 25,000 hits. Hallman will be joined Sunday evening by local authors Karen Bertroch, Jan Bono, Patty Hardin, Kevin Heimbigner and Mandy Metzger. Bertroch is the director of the Appelo Archives Center in Naselle, Wash. She is one of the four authors of “When Logging was Logging: One Hundred Years of Big Timber in Southwest Washington,” released in November. Bertroch has written grants professionally for many years, and has published magazine articles and edited numerous historic documents for publishing. As the emcee for this event, Bono is no stranger to the River City Playhouse. Her play “A Christmas Trilogy: Three Holiday One-Acts” was performed there in December. To date, she has writ-

(360) 642-4932 Admission $5 ten 12 one-act plays, five volumes of humorous personal experience stories and two poetry collections. A frequent contributor to the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” series, Bono has had 17 stories accepted in the past 2 1/2 years. She has written more than 650 entries for her eclectic blog, and just completed a 14-post “travel log” of her recent adventures in Italy and Austria. Visit her blog at JanBonoBooks.com/blog “Welcome Home” is Hardin’s 2012 labor of love. She collected 20 stories from Vietnam veterans as a tribute to those who served in an unpopular war. She says she was humbled by working on this project, and selected the title as her way of saying “thanks.” Hardin has also written for Hunting and Fishing Collectibles, Decoy Magazine, The Daily Astorian, the Chinook Observer and The Daily News. Later this year her haiku poetry will appear in a haiku anthology, a publication of the Haiku Society of America. Heimbigner is a retired business teacher and hall of fame high school coach. He now writes state award-winning sports, news and feature stories and is a photographer for the Chinook Observer. Heimbigner has won 18 first place awards for his news, sports and feature writing and he has won first place awards in black and white and color action pho-

tography. In 2011, Heimbigner was the state’s top investigative reporter for any size newspaper. “No Fish Story,” is a compilation of his personal Pacific Northwest fishing stories, dating back 35 years. “The Magical State Championship Season: Ilwaco Fishermen 1958-59” has been well-received by high school basketball fans throughout the region. Well-known to avid Peninsula coffee drinkers, Metzger, coowner of Long Beach Coffee Roasters, became a visual artist at a young age and began writing seriously in high school. She loves the language and prose of 19thcentury England as well as strong female characters. Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters provide much of her inspiration. Metzger’s first novel, “The Devoted,” is written in the style of Jane Austen. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Sunday at the River City Playhouse, 127 Lake St., for this entertaining event. Admission is a $5 donation for the Playhouse fundraising event, but “we’ll gladly accept more,” said Bono. Authors will be on hand to sell their books, with 20 percent of proceeds going to the Playhouse. Refreshments will also be available for purchase. For more information, contact Bono at (360) 642-4932.

Kiwanis Club luncheon

Astoria Conservatory of Music

Fitness and childhood obesity expert to speak ASTORIA — The Astoria-Warrenton Kiwanis Club will host a luncheon with childhood obesity and fitness expert Ogie Shaw as the guest speaker. Currently the executive director of Community Fitness Leaders, which is a training program for health and fitness professionals, and president of Ogie Shaw Fitness in Beaverton, Shaw has delivered his message throughout the country in more than 4,000 speaking engagements including colleges, schools, governors’ conferences and Rotary and Kiwanis clubs. He has also advised the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Oregon National Guard, Seattle Seahawks and Portland Trail Blazers on achieving and maintaining fitness. “We all see the increasingly discouraging trend among children,” said Shaw, “more video games, computers and TV. But, the biggest influence on young people,” he added, “are their parents and grandparents.” However, he believes these role models aren’t setting

Seaside Public Library Poignant war stories subject of new book SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library host Patty Hardin, author of “Welcome Home,” at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 7. The event takes place in the Community Room and there will be book sales and signings. “Welcome Home” is a compilation of stories from Vietnam veterans that have been collected by the author. The book includes first-person accounts from 19 different vets and chronicles events, some of which are sad and some tragic, while others carry a touch of humor. We get a glimpse of the forces that shaped young men’s lives, told from the perspective of years gone by and lives lived. Hardin wants her book to be much more than a group of stories and hopes it can be a wider-reaching “thank you” to those who served. Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway, across from the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation Swimming Pool.

Nature walks for the whole family entice and enlighten SEASIDE — North Coast Land Conservancy’s summer series, On The Land: Walk and Paddle with NCLC, continues in June with three great ways to get outside and onto some of the amazing North Coast lands that NCLC has helped to protect. There will be a Family Nature Walk from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, June 9. Join North Coast Land Conservancy Executive Director Katie Voelke and local ecologist Mike Patterson for a fun family nature walk at Circle Creek, North Coast Land Conservancy’s 364-acre habitat reserve just south of Seaside. Come explore the emerging forest that is growing up along the banks of the creek, home to many native plants, wild critters and birds. Parents are asked to accompany their children on this walk. Head out for an Ecola Creek Forest Reserve Hike from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 12. Voelke will lead this hike in the Ecola Creek Forest Reserve. NCLC helped the city of Cannon Beach acquire the initial 120 acres of the ECFR back in 1999, which was expanded by 800 acres by the citizens of Cannon Beach in 2009. Come hike through this diverse forest of Sitka spruce, alder and hemlock along the dynamic Ecola Creek to a destination of remnant old-growth red cedars, estimated to be more than 350 years old. See a rainforest in the making during a Forest Nature Walk from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Saturday, June 23. Join local ecologist and North Coast

Land Conservancy board member Doug Ray for a walk in the forest at one of NCLC’s most recent and beautiful acquisitions at the heart of the Necanicum Wildlife Corridor. This vibrant secondgrowth forest along the Necanicum River is a great example of a healthy forest ecosystem well on its way to becoming a dynamic example of all that a temperate rainforest can be. All On The Land programs are free and open to the public, but group size is limited and preregistration is required. You can see the entire 2012 On The Land schedule and register online for programs at www.nclctrust.org. To find out more about this series and other upcoming NCLC programs, contact NCLC at nclc@nclctrust.org, or (503) 738-9126. On The Land programs are a great way for community members to get out and see some of the North Coast’s protected places, many of which are not normally open to the public. From May to October, North Coast Land Conservancy will be leading several guided walks and paddle trips a month – across a lake in Warrenton, through a dynamic forest near Klootchy Creek or foraging in the Ecola Creek Forest Reserve, to name a few. Parents, be sure to check out the Family Nature Walks geared especially for kids. Programs take place outdoors on the Oregon Coast, so be sure to dress appropriately for the day’s weather and wear sturdy walking shoes. Water, snacks and binoculars are always great things to bring with you.

ASTORIA — Every beer you drink is the result of an artistic confluence of science, history, geography, politics, culture, economics and craft. Science on Tap offers an evening of discussion about beer and breweries through the eyes of a mid-19th-century sailor. At the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, beer was just beginning to be mass produced, little was known of yeast or bacteria and refrigeration was nonexistent. Beer was a standard provision on sailing vessels. What would a sailor be drinking on the open seas, or spending his money on in distant ports? Why did Capt. Cook have barrels of Spruce Beer when exploring the Sandwich Islands and did the sailors actually get to sample some of the India Pale Ale they were transporting to Calcutta? Jack Harris, co-owner of the Fort George Brewery and Public House, will present the program, “A Sea of Beer and the Industrial Revolution.” He has been a professional brewer since 1990 at six different breweries in locales from Boulder, Colo. to Lincoln City to Astoria. Science on Tap, in partnership with Fort George Brewery, is a Columbia River Maritime Museum program introducing maritime science, history and technology in an informal setting. This program is free and open to the public; minors are allowed with an adult. Doors open at 6 p.m. and the presentation begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, June 7, at the Fort George Brewery Lovell Building at the corner of 14th and Duane streets. Seasonal beers on tap, food and other beverages will be available for purchase. For more information, call the museum at (503) 325-2323.
