Pacific Power alert Kites and power lines don’t mix On a breezy June day in the Northwest, there may seem to be a million kites in the air. That’s a lot of fun at the end of a string, but it also means at least two million eyes need to be focused on safety when those colorful miracles are aloft. Kite flying, a hobby dating back long before power lines, can be dangerous or even fatal if the kite contacts an energized line. That is because electrical currents always seek the quickest route to the ground, and a kite string that is wet, dirty or contains metal or any other conductive material can detour the electricity from the power line to the ground, using the string – and the kite flier – as conductors. Keep these safety tips in mind next time you pull out the kites: • Fly kites only in open areas, away from power
poles, overhead power lines, substations, trees and other obstacles. • Use only cotton, linen or nylon string, never metal, wire or wire-reinforced string. Wet string is also dangerous. • Only fly kites in dry weather. And never fly a kite during an electrical storm. • If a kite is caught in a tree, check to make certain there aren’t any power lines near the tree before climbing it. • If a kite does get caught in overhead power lines, release the string at once. Do not pull the string or climb the power pole to retrieve the kite. • And NEVER attempt to retrieve a kite caught in a power line or that falls into a substation. Instead, call Pacific Power, toll-free 1-888-221-7070.

Creative Journeys workshops Learn the writing process from start to finish MANZANITA — Creative Journeys with Gail Balden will offer three one-day creative writing workshops at the Center for Contemplative Arts. Participants may enroll in any one or all three of the classes. Saturday, June 16: Deepening Your Craft. This workshop will begin with a focus on the pre-writing process in which ideas percolate and will then delve into ways to make the work deeper and richer by developing an authentic voice and using sensory language. Saturday, July 21: Another Look. Master the art of the writing craft whether it’s fiction, narrative nonfiction or short-shorts. Learn to kill the “darlings,” tighten, get to the heart of the story and be able to give and receive constructive critique. Letting go of work is just as important as getting started. Saturday, Aug. 18: Sharing with the World. This workshop will foster the idea of starting small when it comes to putting the finished work into the world. Writers have more opportunities than ever to share their work through e-books, zines, e-readers and ondemand publishing. Figure out what’s best for you and how to self-promote. Workshops meet on the above Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and cost $50 each or $45 each if reg-
istering for more than one at the same time. Class size is limited to a small group. To reserve a spot in each class, send a $30 deposit (50 percent of which is nonrefundable if student cancels) to Gail Balden, 41500 Anderson Road, Nehalem, OR 97131. For more information, go to www.creativejourneys.net or contact Balden at (503) 368-7807 or gail@creativejourneys.net These workshops are open to all levels of writers and are packed full of encouragement, good advice and writing exercises. Balden is a writer and educator with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Her work has been published in anthologies, literary journals and national magazines. She teaches writing workshops and writes a monthly column about small town life for the North Coast Citizen. The Center for Contemplative Arts, located at Underhill Plaza, Manzanita Avenue and Division Street, is a nonprofit organization formed to offer to all people activities of inner reflection for deepening awareness and nurturing the human spirit for the good of all creation.

Tezeta Band (Portland's premier Ethiopian dance band) will be at the Voodoo Room Saturday, June 9.
Voodoo Room Put on your Ethiopian dancing shoes! ASTORIA — Tezeta Band was formed in 2006 as a tribute to the golden age of Ethiopian jazz and soul music. This seven-piece band grooves through the songs of such legendary Ethiopian musicians as Mulatu Astatke, Mahmoud Ahmed, Sebroum Gebreyes and Tilahun Gesesse, while performing original tunes. Tezeta Band’s music channels complex rhythms and tight harmonies from across the world and back to their home in Portland. Tezeta Band consists of five former members of ’90s hip-hop band The Five Fingers of Funk. During the 1990s, The Fingers’ nine-piece funk/hiphop experience blazed across the United States, releasing three CDs and filling legendary venues while opening for such acts as Maceo Parker, De La Soul, The Roots, Run DMC,
Tezeta Band 9:30 p.m. Saturday, June 9 Voodoo Room 1114 Marine Drive, Astoria (503) 325-2233 www.columbianvoodoo.com $6 cover Sublime and more. Well after the break-up of Five Fingers, in 2006 the idea for the band happened after a few members came across the “Ethiopiques” CD series and were inspired to put together a weekly session based on this music. Quickly realizing that they were on to a new challenge that was exciting and unique, the band was formed and has evolved since. Talbott Guthrie on drums, Ted Hille on saxophone, Tim Cook
on keyboards, Curt Bieker on trombone and Josh Prewitt on trumpet were joined by bassist/composer John Teagle and guitarist Brent Martens (from Asylum Street Spankers and currently Royal Motel Orchestra, and Duo Royale). Tezeta Band has brought its high energy Ethio-Soul Revue to packed clubs across the Northwest and has performed twice with living legend Mahmoud Ahmed, New Year’s Day 2010 and 2011. Tezeta Band will play the Voodoo Room at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, June 9. There is a $6 cover charge. The Voodoo Room is located at 1114 Marine Drive and can be reached at (503) 3252233 or through the website at www.columbianvoodoo.com For more about the band, visit www.tezetaband.com or www.myspace.com/tezetaband

Sassparilla opens the summer concert season at Waikiki Beach Amphitheater Saturday, June 9, then will play at Fort George Brewery Sunday, June 10.
Cape Disappointment State Park Sassparilla set to wow ’em at Waikiki ILWACO, Wash. and ASTORIA — Referred to as indie-roots, punk-Americana and punk-roots, Portland-based Sassparilla may bend and cross genres, but the result is always electrifying. Trading in influences such as Old Crow Medicine Show, The Black Keys, Tom Waits, R.L. Burnside and The Devil Makes Three for Grant Lee Phillips and Joe Henry, their current sound is a testament to their diversity and continued growth as a band. Comprised of Kevin “Gus” Blackwell (vocals, cigar box guitar, national resonator guitar), the father and son combo of Ross “Dagger” Macdonald (harmonica) and Colin “Sweet Pea” Macdonald (washtub bass), Naima (vocals, accordion, washboard) and Justin Burkhart (drums), Sassparilla offers one of the most entertaining live shows in the Pacific Northwest, complete with dancing, sing-along numbers and plenty of good times. However, it is the subtleties and folk-pop leanings of their latest recording, “The Darndest Thing,” that finds the band slowing things down a bit and growing up musically. Centered on the structure of the song and the lyrics more so than the party groove and liveliness of their earlier recordings, this record gives fans a new side of the band.
10 | June 7, 2012 | coastweekend.com
There are two chances coming up to catch Sassparilla’s high energy live concerts on the North Coast. The band will open the Waikiki Beach summer concert season at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 9, and heads over to Astoria Sunday, June 10, to play Fort George Brewery at 8 p.m. This year marks the seventh summer of concerts offered outdoors at Cape Disappointment State Park, near Ilwaco, Wash. The Waikiki Beach Summer Concert Series receives its name from the small pocket beach where the North Jetty meets the rocky cape. The amphitheater that serves as the setting for these folk concerts was designed as part of the Confluence Project by architect Maya Lin of Vietnam Memorial fame. Concerts are at 7 p.m. the second and fourth Saturdays, June through August. There is no charge for the concert, and a Discover Pass is not required to attend this first concert in the Waikiki Beach Concert Series in honor of National Get Outdoors Day. The Fort George Brewery and Public House, 1483 Duane St., offers free live music every Sunday night at 8 p.m. This is the pub’s sixth year offering live music on Sundays with no cover charge.
CATHLAMET, Wash. — The Sheriff’s Department will meet the Fire Department on the softball field at 1 p.m. Saturday, June 9, and 4 p.m. Saturday, June 16, for a pair of fundraisers for the Wahkiakum County food banks. The games will be at Wahkiakum High School, 500 S. Third St. “Cash will be accepted, but food is what we need!” is the teams’ slogan. Those donating either commodity can do so at the games. The items most needed by the food banks are canned vegetables and fruits, tuna and other canned or packaged seafood, peanut butter, pasta and pasta sauces, chili, canned and packaged soups, crackers, cold and hot cereals, Hamburger Helper, any nonperishable packaged food items, laundry soap, hand and facial soaps and toothpaste. Whether you wish to cheer for the lawmen or the firemen (or both) or simply want to help those in need, head out to the ballpark this June for Guns & Hoses.

etween Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends, it’s not unusual to spot refurbished hot rods, stylish classic cars, souped-up choppers, custom motor homes and tandem bicycles cruising U.S. Highway 101. But when it comes to all-out style and eye-catching mobility, nothing compares to the wildly creative team vans of the annual Hood to Coast relay. Aug. 24 and 25 will mark the 31st year of the Hood to Coast event, a stunning trial of physical endurance that takes relay teams from Timberline Lodge to Seaside in 48 hours. More than 1,000 teams of 12 runners each participate in one of Oregon’s most recognizable events, dubbed “The Mother of All Relays” by event organizers. The challenging 200-mile race is certainly not for the faint of heart or the out-of-shape. However, that does not exclude the desire to have a good time. A decorative menagerie of individual team vans support each squad. Providing a vital link and a safe haven, these vans are easily recognizable by exhausted runners. They also provide a great excuse for the teams to show off their sense of humor. Team names like Slug Hunters, Femme Fatale and Road Kill Grill make that apparent. Catherine Kent, of team LaCamas Headhunters and Voodoo Dolls, has been participating in the relay for 20 years. Their team van is always popular with onlookers as it rolls through each transition station. Painted in a jungle green and palm leaves motif, the van is also festooned with wooden tiki masks and skull-and-crossbones. Resembling a cross between a pirate ship and a safari vehicle, the van is a rolling party. “Our van is

always a big hit for the fun atmosphere we provide,” Kent said. “We play music and hand out treats, or ‘pirate booty,’ at every exchange.” Karen Salman, captain of team Road Kill Grill, enjoys the camaraderie the fun inspires. “Our team mascot is an 8-foot lighted vulture with a bobbing head. It came about because while you

the arts VISUAL ARTS • LITERATURE • THEATER • MUSIC & MORE BY DANIEL HAAG are running, you pass a fellow runner and claim ‘road kill,’” Salman said. “When it’s 3 a.m. and you haven’t slept for two days and a van goes by with wild decorations, you can’t help but share a laugh.” But don’t mistake the music, treats and laughter for complacency; the LaCamas Headhunters and Voodoo Dolls are all business when it comes to their van. “If you have never seen our van, then you must not run in the Hood to Coast,” Kent said.
There are myriad reasons for team names. “Some want to be silly and have fun, while some are meant to inspire,” Booth said. Though the race’s origins date back to 1982, it wasn’t until three years later that the idea of decorating the team vans started to take off. “The first year, there was no decorations. Teams used passenger cars,” Booth said. “Nobody got into decorations until the third year, when everyone saw the LaCamas team van

painted with a jungle scene. Then there was no turning back!” Now, the decorating of vans is widespread. Four years ago, participants started voting on the best van at the conclusion of each race. There are no guidelines, as teams are given creative control while they decorate. There is, however, one major rule. “We ask they keep it clean,” Booth said. “Don’t do anything you wouldn’t show your grandma.” Teams must also keep in mind that however much fun they have with their vans, they still must be functional. “Comfortable transportation is the key,” Booth said. “Being in a vehicle with six people for 24 hours can change your life.”

f your heart is beating a little faster than it was before you looked at the pictures accompanying this article, you’re probably a car guy. If you noticed that in Cannon Beach, Duane Johnson’s ’37 Buick sits a little bit lower than it did originally and in Gearhart, Larry Stillwell has replaced his ’48 Pontiac convertible’s antenna with an automatic one, you’re a bona fide car guy. Granted, most car guys are male, but there are a smattering of ladies, too. According to essortment.com, a car enthusiast is “somebody who has an unusual preoccupation with their car, wants to spend time with that car, wants to bathe the car, wants to love it, wants to make it look as good as it can possibly look … The defining element is that cars get them so excited and they just can’t spend enough time (or money) working on them.” Car guys have been part of Americana for well over 100 years, when early in the 20th century, U.S. car production really took off. Sounding a lot like the coast’s local car guys who seem to be born with natural curiosity and develop into multitalented mechanics, inventors and drivers, it was in the Chicago area “on Thanksgiving Day in 1895 that mechanic, inventor and driver Frank Duryea won the first motorcar race in the United States,” according to HistoryChannel.com. The racecourse, which had originally been 92 miles, was altered to 50 miles when eight inches of snow enveloped the area. Duryea finished the race in 10 hours driving a car designed by his brother. Out of 89 entrants, the only other car to cross the finish line came in two hours after Duryea. Making racecar history right on the North Coast, Seaside’s Scott White and his crew currently hold a world’s record. Driving the White Family Racing Team’s AA/Supercharged “Baddest of the Gassers” on a quarter-mile track, White reached 213+ mph in just over six seconds. White’s dad, Seaside-born-andraised Bob White, started drag racing in the late ’60s in a 1940 Ford coupe, which he still owns. The car guy camaraderie that envelopes the White family extends beyond familial boundaries. One recent afternoon at the White’s garage, Bob, Scott and pals were tinkering and fine-tuning the winning 1941
Willys race car when car guy Duane Johnson dropped by to say hello. Jim Doty had arrived in his ’51 Mercury coupe, there to lend a hand. Dody, a quiet, unassuming local legend because of his car-related expertise and talent, was ribbed by Bob White, who jokingly teased him that the “legend” label was probably more related to advancing age. Greg McCollum was deep in thought, his head cocked listening for the Willys’ giant engine to roar to life. When it did, it sounded like all the dental drills in the world had been gathered into a tunnel, flipped on and drilled hard into

heavy, unyielding metal – a screaming blast of thundering energy. Ear plugs were mandatory. On a somewhat quieter note, there is no shortage of local car shows on the calendar from early spring through fall. The Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula’s Beach Barons Car Club will host its 29th annual Rod Run to the End of the World Sept. 8 and 9. It’s an event boasting a multitude of show cars, thousands of viewers and car-related happenings both on and off the show grounds. In a community outreach, the registration form suggests participants bring something to donate to the local food bank. In Seaside to kick off September’s Wheels and Waves car show, Dave Pedagana and his wife Kathy organize Thursday night’s Senior Tour. It’s a parade of 70 cars, usually led by Seaside Police Chief Robert Gross. The lineup begins at the Outlet Mall, winding its way through the town’s assisted living facilities.
“People come out and reminisce, particularly when they see Kathy’s ’37 Ford. We’ll hear, ‘I remember I used to date in that car.’ It’s really fun to talk to the people, seeing them excited about events that happened in their lives, something about high school or family and a certain car they remember. The cars evoke all kinds of memories. The tour winds up at Necanicum Village, which holds a great big barbecue to finish off the parade. It really makes the weekend for us.” On a daily front, coastal locales are dotted with garages, sheds and commercial shops full of cars, tools and heat all ready for car guys. “A car enthusiast is someone who when they get really strung out and really uptight they go to their garage, they pull up a chair and sit down and just stare at the lines of one of their favorite cars. They just admire the styling of the car and it settles them down. It takes another car guy to understand that, and that’s why they like to hang out together,” adds essortment.com Some cars guys just work on their cars, rarely bringing them out to show. Others, known as trailer queens, ferry their cars to shows, roll them off into place and trailer them back home. For Bob and Scott White, it’s necessary to transport their high-performance cars to racing tracks in trailers or trucks. But get ’em out and let ’em roll – some car guys get their show cars out on the road and drive them. Jeff Daly found his first Woody wagon in a field. It was being used as a chicken coop. He bought it for $250 just after graduating from Astoria High School, and he still has it. “It’s a happy car,” says Jeff’s wife, Cindy. “Wherever we take it, it makes people smile.” Duane Johnson’s latest find is a ’51 Chevrolet Suburban. If you thought the Suburban came on with the advent of soccer moms, think again. They have been around since 1935. And even if you’re not a car guy, Johnson’s Suburban will make you stop and – just like Cindy Daly said – smile. There are car guys of all ages, makes and models. “Cars are like art; people have their own likes and dislikes,” said Johnson. Adds Pedagana, “Any car is interesting. All cars, new or old, are history in the making. We’re just adding the memories to go with them.”

Food at drive-through espresso stands In addition to coffee, Kick Ass Koffee serves up real ice cream milkshakes, all varieties of energy drinks, as well as bagels, muffins, scones and other pastries.
“Here in my car I feel safest of all I can lock all my doors It’s the only way to live In cars.” — Gary Numan, “Cars,” 1979
ALEX PAJUNAS Coast Weekend
I
’m often asked to join in on these themed issues of Coast Weekend. Sometimes I can bridge the gap, and sometimes I can’t force it and just submit an unrelated review. So besides tailgate parties and road trips to destination restaurants, I don’t see a lot of common ground between food and cars, except that our society has become used to being able to get the food without leaving the car. Last year for the car edition, I covered drive-ins (or what’s left of what they’d become), and a couple years back I covered drive-through fast food (never again). And while I did a series on local coffee shop food leading up to the coffeethemed issue, I never bothered with the drivethrough espresso stands peppered about our area. What food would they have to offer beyond the expected muffins and biscotti? The answer, unfortunately, is not much. Beyond a couple of exceptions, the offerings of drive-through coffee stands hover around the sweet pastries, while their brick-and-mortar counterparts expand into the territory of panini and soups and such. First, it’s important to note that the turnover of the drive-through must be faster than that of the walk in/sit down. Even a toasted bagel can put the kibosh on any pleasant attitudes held by the rat race runners waiting in line in their cars for their super specific usual drink. Also, there’s often just one person working, and the enclosed work areas in which they perform don’t leave a lot of room for cooking equipment beyond a toaster or two. So based on these facts, we shouldn’t really expect much more; it usually can’t be done under the circumstances. For the sake of transparency, I’ll admit that there was not nearly enough time for me to visit all of the espresso stands in my jurisdiction. Many aren’t even listed in the phone book. So if I missed your highway hut with the clever, punny play on the word “beans” or “grind” or

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com keep people happy. While I’ve never cared much for the name, Kick Ass Koffee in Astoria is by far the most consistently busy place of its kind that I’ve seen. Rare are the trips past it that I don’t see at least three cars waiting. Like many of these, Kick Ass has two windows, two lanes, and during the slammed hours, two baristas. They also sell cigarettes and lighters and every flavor and size of every energy drink you can imagine, so it’s likely that everyone waiting on line is not there for a latte. But I’ve always found cheerful attitudes and helpful service, despite the volume. I recently spoke with Jessica Krotzer, who’s worked at

Like most stands, they reward loyalty with punch cards that can be redeemed for a free drink after you’ve bought 10. I also checked out Diamond Espresso in Long Beach, Wash. This place has plenty of specialty drinks. Always look on the sandwich board to see what’s new and what’s on sale. Diamond offers no fewer than 12 different bagels, but while Kick Ass puts the cream cheese on for you and it softens

a bit in the wrapper, Diamond offers more of a kit, with a disposable knife and a single-serving tub of cream cheese, which requires pulling off of the road to put together. They also have marshmallow treats, granola nut bars and muffin tops. I hate to report this, but the best selection of food I found at a drive-through coffee shop was at behemoth company Starbucks’ Warrenton location. Their coffee tastes burned, they make you order in their language, they don’t buy locally. But around here, if you want to stay in your car and make one stop for some decent food and your fancy half-pump, skinny, lo-caff frappacino with light whip and a whisper of cinnamon, Starbucks is the place. But you’ll pay for it. Starbucks serves hot breakfast sandwiches two tiers above your gas station Jimmy Dean microwave fare. And as far as comparable to McDonald’s or Burger King, let’s just say that Starbucks’ foray into fast food is better than fast food’s foray into coffee drinks. Threetwenty-five will get you a ham, cheddar and egg sandwich on Ciabatta, and $2.95 gets you a classic sausage McMuffiny thing but with real cheese, and better sausage. Of course you can get scones and pastries and all that, too. Another good item is the Chipotle Chicken Wraps Bistro Box ($6.95). It contains wheat tortillas, sliced chicken breast, crunchy lime-cilantro slaw, avocado salsa, red leaf lettuce and a wafer-thin square of dark chocolate. It’s like an adult version of Lunchables, and it actually packs a little heat. Other locations offer even more real food. So that I may sleep tonight, I’ll mention two alternatives that are full-service restaurants but valid for inclusion because they have both a drive-through window and full espresso menu: Bagels by the Sea in Seaside and Serendipity Caffe in Warrenton. Spend your money wisely and locally.

Hikers head to Hines Marsh and Oysterville
Tips for safe beach driving Continued from Page 18 car is lost. The tide comes in quickly and your car is literally lost. By the time the tide goes out, the car is ruined,” Smith advises. The pressure from the water can blow out all the windows, and no tow truck can get near your vehicle until the tide has retreated. The risk is too great. “Over the winter, we recovered three (cars) that were total losses. If you have full coverage, insurance might cover it. But if it’s off-road, they might not,” Smith says. Know the tides. While the beach is a state highway, the topography changes every six hours. You’ll never drive the same road twice. High tide means very little hard pack (and often very little beach as well). Low tides usually offer a safer driving surface. Free tide tables are offered at many local stores and gas stations. Just ask for one at the cash register. If your inner Goonie gets the best of you and disaster strikes, take heart. Smith recalls a couple in a motor home who buried themselves up to the axles in sand and blocked a major access road at the same time. The tow truck driver spent three hours digging them out. “They just opened the door and started barbecuing.” There’s always an upside. Just remember to bring extra hot dogs for all the people who will be stuck behind you and unable to access the beach. It could be quite the tailgate party.

Fresh tire tracks crisscross the sand near the water line on the Long Beach Peninsula.
Some helpful tips from www.funbeach.com: • Observe the 25 mph speed limit. Watch for wildlife, pedestrians, pets and children playing. Give them the right of way. • Reduce tire pressure to 20-25 pounds. • Drive at a slow, even pace when moving through the soft sand to the hard pack. If you get stuck, don’t gun your engine. Try to slowly back up instead. Stay out of the clam beds (the softer sand near the water line). • Park above the high tide line if possible to avoid sneaker wave attacks on your vehicle. • Give your undercarriage a freshwater rinse when you’re back home to prevent rust and corrosion. • Note that some beaches on the Long Beach Peninsula are closed from April 15 to the day after Labor Day.

LONG BEACH PENINSULA, Wash. — The Angora Hiking Club will head to the north end of the Peninsula Saturday, June 9, to Oysterville and Willapa Bay. This is an easy hike that will take about three hours. Hikers will meet at 9 a.m. at the Basin Street parking lot, located in Astoria at Basin Street and West Marine Drive across from KFC restaurant. Carpooling will be arranged there. Round-trip nominal fees are expected to be paid to the drivers. Those wishing to meet in Washington should be at the Hines Marsh State Park entrance on Stackpole Road, at an unmarked parking lot just north of the gate with two stone lions, at 10 a.m. Aaron Webster, an interpretive specialist with Washington State Parks, will lead this first short hike at the Hines Marsh bird sanctuary. Hines Marsh is a unique natural treasure. Located on Leadbetter Point on the northern tip of Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula, it is thought to be the largest interdunal freshwater wetland remaining on the Pacific Coast. Hines Marsh provides important habitat for trumpeter swans as well as a home for ducks, redwing blackbirds, ospreys, hawks, herons and bald eagles. From there the hikers will visit the Oysterville Cemetery, the oldest cemetery in Washington, on Oysterville Road, then go south on Sandridge Road to the National Historical District of Oysterville. There are many homes and buildings built in the 1800s; the oldest surviving structure in the village was built in 1863. Hikers will be

given a walking tour map with details of the Historic District and will be able to go inside the church built in 1892. Hikers will stop by Oysterville Sea Farms on the Bay to check out the seafood, jams, cereal and sweet mixes for sale. The final stop will be lunch at Bailey’s Bakery in Nahcotta, next to the post office on Sandridge Road, three miles south of Oysterville. Hikers are asked to bring binoculars, bug repellent, snacks, good walking shoes, water and wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts. It is not a requirement to be a member of Angora Hiking Club to participate. Hike leaders are Jim and Kathleen Hudson. If you have questions, call (503) 861-2802.

Northwest Garlic Festival
Tolovana Arts Colony
Reception scheduled for poster contest winner
Cannon Beach tees up for arts organization
OCEAN PARK, Wash. — A total of 16 garlic-inspired artworks were submitted in this year’s Garlic Festival Poster Contest. In the end, it came down to three: two by the artist ending up as the winner and one by local photographer and computer artist Suzy Laureano. Choosing the artwork best suited to be turned into a poster was a difficult process for judges Vickie Branch and Bonnie Cozby of Peninsula Arts Association, Ann Powell of the Ocean Park Area Chamber of Commerce and Mary Storm of Golden Sands Assisted Living, but over quiche and Greek salads, they persevered. “Making a choice was hard; there were so many varied works and so many good ones,” said Branch. “We had entries from as young as nine years old, on up. Good work all around, but we finally came to a decision and picked the winner unanimously.” To find out just who won the contest, Peninsula Arts Association is hosting a Northwest Garlic Festival poster unveiling reception at 7 p.m. Friday, June 8. The free event takes place in the reception area of
Lighthouse Realty’s Ocean Park office at 25810 Vernon Ave. Once the poster has been revealed, attendees have a chance to meet the artist, enjoy refreshments and jockey for position to snag the coveted low-numbered posters. Also that evening, a silent auction of the framed original painting will commence, ending at 2 p.m. Sunday, June 17, the last day of the 31st annual Northwest Garlic Festival. “People who are serious collectors of event posters have some very tactical moves to be first in line and the maneuvering is fun to watch,” said Cozby, PAA president. “We are grateful to Lighthouse Realty for allowing us to hold the reception in their office and it is always fun to work with the Ocean Park Area Chamber.” This year’s poster will be for sale at PAA’s tents during the upcoming festival held in Ocean Park, June 16 and 17.

GEARHART — Known for her acting roles in “Walk The Line,” “Black Snake Moan,” and “Hustle and Flow,” Amy LaVere’s alluring vocals find a fine balance between brooding country ballads and funky, jazz-infused Americana, with some sexy grunge thrown in. The Memphis, Tenn., singer has been called both charming and badass, with performances at once theatrical, playful and exciting – “a tiny lady who plays a giant upright bass with a sultryyet-childlike voice that really shines in a live setting,” according to her press release.

TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Treasure Map has been discovered and is now available to the public for exploration. Visitors to Tillamook County can explore hundreds of miles of historic waterways with history narrated by the Tillamook County Pioneer Museum and paddles led by trained guides from Kayak Tillamook. These adventures combine outdoor recreation with historic and cultural learning. “It’s said that Tillamook meant ‘the land of many waters’ to the native Americans and for good reason,” said Marcus Hinz, principal executive for Kayak Tillamook. “Its hundreds of miles of navigable waterways provided the historic foundation for its settlement, commerce and way of life, as well as the feeding and building of our nation.” The Tillamook County Pioneer Museum will receive a percentage from each tour. Before or after the tour, participants may visit the Pioneer Museum, which is just two blocks from the Hoquarton Slough. “By partnering with the
Tillamook County Pioneer Museum, Kayak Tillamook is linking the historical past with the future of our waterways,” said Gary Albright, TCPM director. The Pioneer Museum is dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the North Oregon Coast’s cultural heritage, but also to nurturing respect and appreciation of the coastal environment. As stewards of local history, TCPM is pleased to be offering a historical perspective to the Treasure Map.” • There are six total Treasure Map Tours; most are family friendly. All are appropriate for “tweens” and older. • Participants can collect six stamps on their map, one stamp for each Treasure Map tour. • Participants will discover a “collectible” treasure found along the paddle route to take home as historic treasures. There are six total “collectibles.” • Initial launch includes scheduled dates for The Politics of Manifest Destiny (Hoquarton Slough) and The Necessities of Commerce (Tillamook River) June through October. All six Treasure Map tours are available for private
