Dreams,” at 7:30 p. m.
Wednesday, Feb. 10, at the Clatsop
Community College Performing
Arts Center at 16th Street and
Franklin Avenue. Artistic Director
Keith Clark hosts a multimedia

mance of Schoenberg’s “Pierrot
Lunaire,” a revolutionary work for
singing actress and chamber ensemble, in a unique “song-speech” vocal
style later used by Schoenberg’s
student Alban Berg in his opera
“Wozzeck.” The concert features The
Bergamo Ensemble of San Francisco, with soprano Amy Foote.
The second Festival offering will
be held at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 16,
at the Performing Arts Center. It will
feature the 1979 movie “Woyzeck,”
Werner Herzog’s film based on the
play of the same name, which also
inspired the festival featured opera
“Wozzeck.” The surrealistic film is
called a hallmark of German New
Wave cinema, and features a mad
doctor, seduction, betrayal, madness
and murder. Music from the opera
will be performed.
The festival will hold a musical
open house at 3 p.m. Sunday, May
2, at the Liberty Theater. This will be
a volunteer appreciation day and preview of the Astoria Music Festival
2010 season. The event will feature
solos and chamber music by the
Music Festival All-Stars, performances by the North Coast Chorale,
the Little Ballet Theatre and performances of Felix Mendelssohn’s “Elijah,” with Deac Guidi, baritone, and
Edvard Grieg’s “Peer Gynt.” Admission to all three concerts is free.

Don Larson’s five most memorable
travel experiences
Seaside’s mayor, Don Larson, has seen a
good deal of the world. “I have had some
wonderful sightseeing trips and have
enjoyed them immensely,” he says. “The
following travel experiences, however,
cover some incidents that have touched me
much more deeply than seeing pretty
Don Larson
scenery ever could.”
The day I visited my grandfather’s home
We traveled to Norway as a family of five (three of us teenagers) and spent a day
in Kvinesdal, the birthplace of both my maternal grandparents. We were all stunned
to tears when, upon entering my grandfather’s several-hundred-year-old home, we
discovered a picture of my mother and her siblings hanging on the wall. Seeing the
simple construction and furnishings was a delight, but seeing that familiar picture
in those unfamiliar surroundings was thrilling. I will never forget that day.
Helping to build a hospital in Ecuador
My wife Lois and I have taken three trips to Ecuador as working visitors to HCJB
Global, a radio and medical mission in Quito and Shell, Ecuador. I helped at a hospital building site and was constantly reminded of how construction in a Third World
country has not reached modern-day methods we all see in our country. This is a picture of a steep, narrow ramp used by the workers to haul cement in wheelbarrows to
the second story. As you can see, safety is not an issue. OSHA would have a field day!
Dinner in Shell with Steve Saint
Shell, Ecuador, was the sight of a massacre of five missionaries in the 1950s
which was headline news throughout the world. That community now houses a compound of many homes, a jungle missionary hospital and a guest house in which
we stayed for three weeks while I painted in two new homes. One night at the large
dinner table, we had guests who had flown in from the jungle. They were three Waorani pastors and Steve Saint, the son of Nate Saint, one of the murdered missionaries. In the picture, Steve sits next to the man who killed his dad. Wow! What a
showing of love! I learned something that day.
The day we missed the plane
Our last trip to Ecuador started on a sour note when the door to our connecting
flight at Dallas slammed shut just as we arrived at the gate. We therefore had to spend
a night in Miami waiting a full day for the next flight to Quito. That was not a happy
time. As we awaited our plane the next day, a man with a sign with our names came
through the boarding area. We were asked to bring life-saving medication to a pregnant woman in the Quito hospital. It was necessary to hopefully save her life as well
as that of her unborn child. Our day’s delay was certainly worthwhile, as a few days
later we were able to meet the mother and her tiny son, both now recovering. Our
words did not communicate, but our hugs with the young couple spoke volumes.
Seeing refugees in Austria
Lois and I were part of a team of 13 people from North Coast Family Fellowship who went to Vienna, Austria, to help in a coffeehouse which was used as a
drop-in center for hundreds of refugees from Eastern Europe. I was deeply affected by what I saw while standing outside a former prison where these people were
housed – families huddled together in small rooms with no privacy or safety, and
with very little hope of being able to stay in the country. Those who did not receive
permission to stay in Austria had to walk away with their children and few possessions, not knowing where they were headed. The picture shows their bleak conditions when they were housed in the prison. It wasn’t all bleak for us, however,
as we were able to see joy on their faces while handing out the clothes we had brought
with us to share.

I got to babysit my nephew Henry
for a few hours this weekend while
my sister and her husband had a date
night. (I was in Portland anyway and
offered my childcare services in
exchange for them letting my daughter and me crash at their house.)
My sister plans Henry’s day around
giving him lots of supervised free play
time. In his babyproofed room, he can
crawl anywhere (though it’s the Marineunder-the-barbed-wire crawl, not the
traditional hands- and- knees) and

discoveries and decisions is fascinating.
He loves the toys that let him make music and he likes to place
blocks inside their storage container, take them out and put them
back in. When this action is met with hoorays and applause, he clearly understands he’s done something praiseworthy.
By this age, my daughter had said her first word (“Goggie,”
directed at the same teacup Chihuahua that lives at Henry’s house),
but Henry’s still keeping us in suspense. He does have a sense of
humor, though. My sister keeps prompting him, “Say mama,
Henry. Ma-ma.” With a fiendish little gleam in his eye, Henry will
utter, loud and clear, “Da-da.” Our uproarious reaction only reinforces his perception that he must have done something good – and
the cycle continues. Smart boy.

Come to the reggae
party and feel all right
The 11th annual KMUN
Reggae Party will be held Friday, Feb. 5, to celebrate the
birthday of reggae legend Bob Marley. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. at the
Astoria Event Center at Ninth and
Commercial streets and local band
Ma Barley hits the stage at 9 p.m.
with reggae, ska, rock and soul music.
This is a show for the whole family. The $10 admission includes
Jamaican jerk chicken, wild rice and
birthday cake. There will be a Bob
Marley trivia contest and prizes and
the festivities will be broadcast live
on KMUN 91. 9 F M and
www.coastradio.org
The first KMUN reggae party was
instigated in the year 2000 by KMUN
reggae programmer Mark Erickson
and (then) Board president Ray Merritt, who assisted with engineering for
the live broadcast from the Astoria
Aquatic Center. They barbequed
Jamaican jerk chicken and gave it
away with donated bread and oranges.
Hundreds of people of all ages swam
and ate for free, and listened to the
Caribbean tunes as they were piped
into the swimming area.
The party has become a tradition
and practically an institution for the
area every first Friday in February.
Bob Marley’s birthday is actually
Feb. 6, but programmers of the weekly KMUN “Caribbean Moon” reggae
show host the Friday night broadcast,
so people “on every continent” can
also tune in.
The reggae party traveled over the
years to various locations utilizing the
services of several restaurants, including Fort George in 2007, where Ma
Barley made its live performance
debut. Because of the size of the
crowd (many were turned away
at the door) it was apparent
that the people of the coast
were hungry for live local
reggae music, free chicken,
and desperate for a chance
to shake off the winter
cold in a friendly
atmosphere.
This year, the
party will again feature Ma Barley. The
Jamaican jerk chicken will be prepared
by Peter Roscoe, aka
“Fulio.” Bob Marley’s birthday
cake is artist i cal l y
p re-
pared by Karri Gallaugher, a talented
KMUN folk programmer.
Event organizers would like to
thank KMUN, its outstanding volunteers, and Fred Van Horn, owner of
the Astoria Event Center, and his
hard-working staff. Erickson suggests that people polish up on their
Bob Marley trivia as there will be
some “tasty” prizes for
contest winners.

Portland
artist makes a
mark with tile
workshop
ILWAC O, Wash. —
Terra-cotta clay, colorful
underglazes, slips and
handmade texture stamps are among
the materials that everyone will use
at a handmade tile and tile installation workshop taught by Jan
Edwards, a clay artist from Portland.
Participants will make at least
10 original tiles and will explore a
wide variety of tile techniques,
including flat and relief tiles, as well
as planning for tile installation. The
class will focus on a variety of ways
to embellish a clay surface, including line, pattern and color, and will
explore and experiment with resists,
inlays, stamping, brush work, underglaze, slips and scraffito.
Edwards has been making pottery
and architectural tiles in Colorado
and Portland for more than 35 years.
She teaches at the Multnomah Art
Center and Mount Hood Community College and has led many
workshops around the United States,
Canada, Mexico and Italy. She has
won many awards, including the
Bennett Welch award for Surface
Decoration from the Oregon Potters Association.
Edwards will start with an exhibit and slide talk at 7 p.m. Friday,
Feb. 12, at Artisan, 114 Main St.,
S.W. This dynamic presentation will
be open to the public at no charge.
The hands-on workshop will also
be held at Artisan, from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, and Sunday,
Feb. 14. Cost for the workshop is
$175 and includes clay, glazes and
firing. Contact Jan Richardson at
(360) 665-2603 or (443) 994-3204
to make arrangements.
Poet tears along the
dotted lines from
the coast to Idaho
C onnect the
dots of Oregon’s
landscape as seen
through the stark and gritty poetry of Sid Miller. In “Dot-to-Dot,
Oregon,” Miller explores the
seven routes from the coast to
the mountains, from inner-city
Portland to the Idaho border. The
book is a collection of 50 poems
using these locales as a background, with three voices narrating the author’s loving but critical relationship with the state
he calls home.
Miller will appear at Lucy’s
Books Wednesday, Feb. 10. Fellow poet Emily Kendall Frey will
open the program at 7 p.m.
Poet Dorianne Laux wrote,
“Sid Miller’s town-by-town pilgrimage across Oregon is a miniOdyssey alive with insight into
the state’s enigmatic terrain and
working class people. Through
bars, markets, and laundromats
and from seaside towns to urban
hubs, this poet faces some hard
truths about himself, his allegiance to place, and to the woman
he loves.”
Miller’s poetry has appeared
widely. After authoring two chapbooks, he published his first fulllength collection, “Nixon on the
Piano,” in the fall of 2009. He is
the founding editor of the Portland-based literary journal, Burnside Review.
Lucy’s Books is located at
348 12th St. For more information call (503) 325-4210.

Haystack Rock’s place among wildlife
refuges topic for next library lecture
CANNON BEACH — Haystack Rock is only one
of the 1,854 rocks, reefs and islands within the Oregon
Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Roy W. Lowe, project leader for the Oregon Coast National Wildlife
Refuge Complex, will discuss Haystack Rock’s place
in the refuge complex at a free lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 4, at Cannon Beach Library, 131 N. Hemlock
St.
The refuge complex includes six national wildlife
refuges and two wilderness areas spanning 320 miles
of the Oregon coast.
Lowe also will provide an update on the status of
the key seabird population in Oregon, such as tufted
puffins, black oystercatchers and common murres.
Lowe holds a bachelor’s degree in wildlife management from Humboldt State University in Arcata, Calif.
He became the first refuge employee assigned to the Ore-
gon coast in 1985, when he transferred to Newport. He
has worked with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for
33 years, serving first in the Decatur, Ala., Ecological
Services Office. In 1981, he transferred to San Francisco
Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex, where he
served as the refuge biologist for seven refuges in
northern California. Four years later, he moved to
Newport.
Friends of Haystack Rock and the Cannon Beach
Library sponsor the monthly library lectures, which run
from September through April. The Friends board supports the Haystack Rock Awareness Program, an education service designed to protect the Oregon Fish and
Wildlife marine garden around Haystack Rock, which
has been designated a seabird nesting colony by the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service. HRAP is funded by the city
of Cannon Beach, grants and donations.

Learn about rural tools for
survival at free workshop
ROSBURG, Wash. — No one
knows what tomorrow will bring –
good times or bad. However, to be
able to endure the bad as well as
the good times may be as simple as
adding a few more tools to your
personal and business toolbox.
On Saturday, Feb. 13, local sponsors will hold a free workshop to
share new and not-so-new tools for
rural life in the lower Columbia area.
The workshop will be held at Rosburg Community Hall, 28 Rosburg
Community Hall Road.
“This workshop is designed to
give novices the basics, and oldtimers a few new gems of wisdom,”
explained WSU Extension Specialist Carrie Kennedy. “There should be
something for everyone.”
Speakers representing local, state
and federal organizations will provide
participants a full range of options to
make rural living in Wahkiakum
County and Naselle more amenable.
Wendy Freitag from the Washington
Department of Emergency Management will provide the keynote presentation. The U.S. Department of
Agriculture Farm Services Agency
will share information on its many
disaster assistance programs. Robert
Freitag, the author of “Flood Plain
Management: A new approach for a
new era,” will discuss concepts from
his book. Farmers and townsfolk
alike will benefit from the range of
speakers during the day.
“To have all of this top-notch
experience in one workshop is
unusual,” said Rob Stockhouse of
Stockhouse’s Farm. “We have great
presenters and a wealth of good
information on how to help our-
selves and our neighbors in the best
and worst of times.”
The workshop will begin at 9
a.m. and end at 3 p.m., with lunch
provided by Grays River Grange.
Couples are encouraged to attend
the workshop together. The first 20
people to register will receive a free
lunch and notebook.
Space is limited and reservations
are required. For more information

Tillamook County Libraries acquires
electronic career change resource
TILLAMOOK COUNTY — Tillamook County
Libraries has acquired Career Transitions, a new electronic
resource offering a comprehensive guide to career change.
At a time when the need to re-evaluate, alter or
develop careers is greater than ever, Gale, part of Cengage Learning, has developed a resource that is allowing libraries to help patrons through each step of the
career change process. Residents of Tillamook County may access Career Transitions at any county library
branch or from any computer by going to the library Web
site at www.tillabook.info and using their library card.
Career Transitions is a complete, guided, self-paced
application that walks the individual through the entire
process – assessing strengths and interests, exploring
new opportunities, preparing a resume, finding educational opportunities and networking advice, performing a comprehensive job search and applying online.
Workers are guided by clear and concise information
about career paths, industries, companies, job availability, growth potential and professional associations
– organized around simple-to-navigate portals that
combine overviews with statistical information and
Web tools to help make well-planned career choices.
“Career Transitions is a one-stop resource for people going through career change,” said Library Director Sara Charlton. “It comes at a time when people need
help making life-changing career choices and libraries
are becoming more and more involved in this process.
This resource helps us increase the quality of our service and meet the needs of our patrons.”
Across the country, librarians report being overwhelmed with requests for materials to assist users who
are making job-related decisions. Career Transitions
encompasses the entire job search process, allowing
patrons of Tillamook County Libraries and the librarians assisting them to find answers, whether they are
dealing with job loss, retraining needs or looking for
new career paths.

Beans to donate their time – or even just any extra yards of fabric – to benefit local foster kids,” said owner Andi Maroncelli.
Throughout 2010, quilters, crafters and sewers across the nation will make
pillowcases at their local quilt shops. The shops will then collect the pillowcases and donate them to a local charity of their choice and update the
pillowcase counter at allpeoplequilt.com/millionpillowcases. The counter will
track nationwide progress toward the goal of one million pillowcases.
Maroncelli sees the One Million Pillowcase Challenge as a way to give
back to the local community. “Quilters are always ready to lend a hand,” she
said. “This is a great way for us to do just that.”

Museum leaders wrap up An Apron Affair auction
By CATE GABLE
For Coast Weekend
A
n Apron Affair – the art auction
of local artist-made aprons concocted by Columbia Pacific
Heritage Museum Executive Director
Betsy Millard – is over, but the ripples
of this tasty event are still spinning out
literally around the globe.
“We asked all our artist friends to make
an apron to donate for the auction, held in
conjunction with a Smithsonian food exhibit, and boy did they have fun,” says Millard.
“The auction raised $3,000 – which is huge
for us – and it’s also interesting to find out
where all the aprons ended up.”

Millard will have quite a task, as a few of
them have traveled across both oceans, to
New Zealand in the luggage of Randy and

“Yes, Randy purchased four aprons at the
auction,” says artist and Ilwaco gallery owner
Marie Powell via e-mail from ‘down under.’
“We kept Gini Chin’s apron for ourselves,”
she says, “but we also bought the apron created by Wendi Peterson and gave it to a dear
friend, Beverley Maxwell, who lives in Paihia, New Zealand.
“Just before Christmas, she had major
surgery for breast cancer,” Marie continues,
“and this was a nice gift for her when she came

Peninsula resident Jane Sweringen noted
that two of the aprons were won at the auction

“Scott Leahing [co-owner of Dots ’N Doodles in Astoria] made the apron we gave to

Love for bridges
spans all types
I
dig bridges.
Bigger
I originally hail from a city of bridges, Portland, so I appreciate their usefulness ... but I also have a real appreciation for their aesthetics and a childlike view that bridges are fun to cross.
Now that I make my home on the coast, I couldn’t help but wonder about the bridges
in Astoria. Who designed them, what did it take to get them built, and who sits in
those little houses in the middle of the bridges? Is there anybody in those little houses? I decided to find out.
The smallest
The little Lewis and Clark River Bridge on Oregon Highway 105
spans the Lewis and Clark River. Built in 1924, it’s a bascule
bridge. What’s a bascule? Bascule is a French term for seesaw and
balance. A bascule bridge is a movable bridge with a counterweight
that continuously balances the span throughout the entire upward
swing. Bascules are the most common type of movable bridge in
existence. They open quickly and require relatively little energy to
operate.
The Lewis and Clark River Bridge is the only remaining single
leaf bascule drawspan in Oregon. It was designed by Conde B.
McCullough, Oregon state bridge engineer from 1919 to 1935, who
was a pioneer in the movement to create a new American highway system. He represented a new breed of forward-thinking engineers.
McCullough felt bridges should be built with three factors in mind:
efficiency, economy and beauty. He initiated hundreds of bridges
throughout Oregon and most are icons, such as the Rogue River Bridge
in Gold Beach and the Yaquina Bay Bridge in Newport.
The Old Youngs Bay Bridge, also designed by McCullough and
completed in 1921, is a fine example of a double-leaf bascule
drawspan bridge. McCullough was fond of the Art Deco style of the
period and the large wood and concrete pylons on both ends of the
bridge were hints of the more grand Art Deco bridges to come. And,
of course, it has those little tender houses.

Thirty-two-year veteran bridge tender Reed Montensen enlightened me. “In 1978, we had a 16-man crew working around the clock.
We were always in the tender houses. With the decline in the lumber and fishing industry, bridge openings drastically tapered off. Then,
there were as many openings in a day as there are now in a month.
Today there are five of us and we don’t stay on the bridge any more.”
Reed added modestly, “A good sense of timing is important to find
those ‘just right’ gaps in traffic, especially during busy summer
months, but operating a bridge is relatively simple, unless something goes wrong.”
And occasionally it does. In the late ’70s, the Lewis and Clark
Bridge got stuck in the up position as a result of some sandy
switches. Reed’s boss at the time had a solution. He descended into
the machinery room and soon Reed heard a big “bang,” and his boss
yelled, “Try it now.” He did, and it closed. The day was saved by
whacking the switch with a broom handle!

have plowed though the gates,
only to be stopped by steel barriers. We (myself included) can
get impatient with bridge openings, but there is a universal law
of navigation that boats have
the right of way over all vehicles
except emergency types, so we’ll
just have to chill out.

and Clark River.
1964, long after Conde B.
McCullough’s tenure. It is the
busier of the two Youngs Bay bridges, carrying about 14,000 cars a
day, and is also a double bascule bridge.
A major $9.4 million upgrade of the New Youngs Bay Bridge was
initiated in September 2007 by the Oregon Department of Transportation. Improvements, including a computerized monitoring system, replacement of rivets with bolts and a new coat of green paint,
combined to make the bridge almost new.

The biggest
Then of course, there is the granddaddy, the Astoria-Megler Bridge. At 4.1
miles, it is the longest three-span, continuous cantilever, through-truss bridge
in the world.
I remember as a kid crossing the
Columbia in a ferry to get to the Washington side. In good weather, a one-way trip took about half an hour – a long and tedious trip
for my parents, but being a kid, I thought it was cool.
Ferry service actually dates back to 1840, when Solomon Smith
got the bright idea to connect two canoes together to carry passengers and cargo across the river.
When U.S. Highway 30 linking Astoria and Portland was completed in 1915, traffic began to increase substantially, as did demands
for dependable ferry service. In 1921, the Tourist Ferry Service, so
named for a ferry called “The Tourist,” was started by Capt. Fritz Elfving. Business was good and soon thereafter came a Tourist Two and
Three. In 1946, the state of Oregon purchased Capt. Elfving’s company and assigned the operation to the State Highway Department
(today’s ODOT).

What’s in a name?
Many people have come to
call the Astoria Bridge ‘the
Astoria-Megler Bridge.’
According to ODOT, the official name is ‘the Astoria
Bridge,’ no Megler. Megler is
a place, located just east of
the bridge on the Washington side. ODOT has no explanation why some have given
the bridge this moniker.
City lights reflect on the Astoria Bridge as the remaining sunset fades to darkness.

Greek food shines at the no-frills Lazy Spoon Café
O
ver the past four years, Lazy
Spoon Café has developed a
loyal lunch crowd and become
a mainstay at the Sunday Market. I
tried them out in their first year, and
having been informed they are now
serving dinner, deemed it a good time
for a full review.
While I don’t generally spend a great
deal of my column’s space describing
the atmosphere and ambiance of my
weekly subjects – be it stunning and
sophisticated, drab and depressing, view
or no view – I must comment here that the
Lazy Spoon Café doesn’t really feel like
a restaurant; in fact, no eatery occupying
Suite 107 at No. 10 Sixth St. ever has.
This is more evident at night, when the
chairs, tables and quiet made me feel a bit
like I was in a hospital waiting room, and
the windows and hallways reminded me
of an office. I mention this only because
it did interfere with my dining experiences, although the food is often above
average and the service is absolutely spotless.
And while I find the location to be a detriment to the food and service, I am impressed
with and must commend the owners for even
attempting to serve some of the hot items they
do using only an electric four-burner stove.
They certainly make the most of the space they
have.
While Lazy Spoon does offer many Greek
specialties, they are wise to not promote
themselves as a Greek restaurant, as the majority of the breakfast and lunch menus are dominated by standard American food items. In
the past I have not taken kindly to misrepresentation – for instance, if they were instead
named “Athens Café,” this review would turn
out much differently. More importantly, it is
probably a good business move to serve
familiar, easily pronounceable food to the
lunch-break masses, rather than having to
educate the rushed.
That said, the Greek food is what they do
best. I can have a chef salad, a BLT or a
turkey sandwich anywhere, but a good lamb
gyro ($8.95) is hard to come by in town. Also
available with chicken or beef ($7.95), the
gyro is done right, with just enough chopped
lettuce, tomato and onion, and a near-perfect
tzatziki (cool, creamy yogurt, cucumber and
garlic) sauce within the warm pita wrap. At
dinner, this tzatziki is served with warm pita
wedges, which I greatly preferred to bread and
butter.
With the welcome absence of a fryer, Lazy
Spoon offers potato salad, potato chips, soup
or house salad as sides. I recommend spending the $1.50 to upgrade to the Greek salad,
which substitutes Kalamata for black olives
and adds feta cheese and red onions. And get
the Greek herb vinaigrette: It’s wonderful,
and you can get ranch, bleu cheese or Thousand Island anywhere.
Soups were good, for the most part. The

often-available lemon-rice soup is not as
lemony as I expected; it’s a nice balance with
a porridge-like texture. Should you see it,
order it. The same goes for the minestrone,
a darker, richer version of the classic soup with
al dente penne pasta. A navy bean soup was
less successful, tasting slightly of liquid
smoke; the absence of ham or bacon further
convinces me of this.
The souvlaki ($8.95), skewers of marinated, perfectly cooked pork or chicken (you
get two skewers, so try one of each) with a
pilaf-style rice, pita and vegetables (green
beans when I tried it) is a great dish at a great
price.
The Spartan Combo ($9.25) includes half
a gyro, a small Greek salad (so I recommend
soup as your starter) and marinated pork. I like
dishes like this which allow you to try a little of everything.
I did try several of the American lunch
items, with varying results. A mushroom
and swiss hamburger ($7.95) was good; the
soft, pale bun especially. But the “Swiss”
cheese was not the real deal, rather a processed
“American Swiss.” A pastrami sandwich
($7.95) was disappointing. Although not
stipulated in the menu, it also came with
“Swiss” cheese, and was prepared hot like a
grilled cheese sandwich. I’m sure it’s available cold, but I wasn’t offered a choice. Furthermore, the pastrami was sliced too thick,
causing it to be tough and dragged out of the
middle of the sandwich when bitten into. It
is permissible to serve thick-cut pastrami
granted you’ve made it yourself and cooked
it long enough, but deli pastrami should be
sliced paper-thin to avoid such unpleasantness. A Philly-style sandwich (beef or chicken, $7.95) was satisfactory but hardly a standout item.
Lean toward the Greek food at Lazy Spoon
Café and you’re sure to have a good experience.

The souvlaki dish, skewers of marinated pork, also includes rice and vegetables.
Vegetarian Options: Plenty
for breakfast, not as many
as I’d hoped for after 11
a.m. Ask about the soups.
The full-size Greek salad is
good, and I imagine a
gyro minus the meat, plus
feta and avocado would
suffice. (Although not
Greek, a hummus plate
would fit in on this menu.)
Beverages: Juices, canned
sodas, coffee and tea.
Lazy Spoon now serves
Greek coffee, which is
wonderful, and I wholeheartedly recommend it.

little-known
comedy by
well-known
mystery
writer
NEHALEM
— North County
Recreation District’s Riverbend Players will present
a reader’s theater version of a
delightful comedy by Dorothy L.
Sayers, the seldom-seen “Love All.”
Sayers is best known for her Lord
Peter Wimsey mysteries.
Poor novelist Godfrey Daybrook
( Ted Weissbach) : he’s having
romantic difficulties. After three
years, his wife (Lynn Hadley) is
dragging her feet about the divorce
and his actress girlfriend Lydia
(Candice Wyatt) is getting bored
in Venice with nothing to do. If she
does not get that wedding ring, she
is going back to the theater. She
throws his inkpot out of the window
in a fit of temper and hits an old
friend from London (Betsy McMahon) who tells her the latest gossip.
They return to England separately,
and alas, Godfrey finds that rather
than pining for him, his wife has
become a successful playwright
under her maiden name and what’s
worse, she has a young suitor. To
top it off, she has written a new
play with a part that’s perfect for
Lydia. What is to become of Godfrey? Who will cater to his every
whim and be his muse?
Performances are at 7 p.m. Fridays, Feb. 12 and 19, and Saturdays, Feb. 13 and 20, and 2 p.m.
Sundays, Feb. 14 and 21, at the
North County Recreation District,
36155 Ninth St. Tickets are $10
and include refreshments. For reservations, call Jane at (503) 3693901 or drop by the NCRD office.

Jayne Bailey, of Bailey’s Bakery
and Café in Nahcotta, Wash., purchased the apron collaboratively created by Peggy Christenson, Shirley
Weiss and Michelle Kunigisley.
Christenson developed the concept
and design and Weiss and Kunigisley assisted with the embroidery and
execution on the fabric.
The result is a beautifully scripted recipe for oyster stew, complete
with steaming bowls as border decoration, all with an appealing sky
blue color theme.
Bailey has the apron on display at
her café next to the Nahcotta Post
Office at 26910 Sandridge Road on
the Long Beach Peninsula.
“I’ve known Peggy for a long
time and when I saw this apron at the
auction, I decided to bid on it,” says
Bailey from her bakery kitchen. “It
has a recipe for oyster stew and I
tried it the day after I bought the
apron.”
“It was delicious,” she adds.
The apron is a perfect addition to
Bailey’s Café, which looks out over
enormous piles of pearly oyster shells
at the edge of Willapa Bay.

The Old Fashioned
Lovers bring an early
spring to Fort George
Ivy Ross and Joel Ricci, aka the Old Fashioned Lovers, are touring from Portland to San Francisco and back up the coast during
the first week of February. The acoustic duo performs original
material that paints a nostalgic picture of innocent, old-fashioned love while
employing intricate vocal harmonies, simple sweet guitar and evocative
muted pocket trumpet. Their honest and engaging soundscapes create a
warm, cozy and inspiring atmosphere perfect for cuddling and sipping your
favorite wintertime beverage. Guests at Sunday night’s performance will
be lyrically “waltzed to a wooden porch where they can close their eyes
and feel the gentle breeze that blows in the spring.”
The Old Fashioned Lovers will play at 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7, at Fort
George Brewery and Public House, 1483 Duane St. There is no cover charge.

Debbi Littlefield, an acrylic artist
who generally paints on wood, was
one of the artists asked by Millard to
participate in the apron auction series.
Littlefield was delighted with the
result of her apron and it got her
thinking about her art in an entirely
different way.
“First I washed and dried the
apron to make sure all the sizing was
out of the fabric,” says Littlefield. “I
chose a fish design to keep with the
maritime theme appropriate for our
area.”
“It was a lot easier painting on
fabric than on wood,” she says. “No
sanding!”
“The process was a little different
in other ways too,” she shares. “Fabric takes more paint and it tends to
take longer to dry.”
“But I liked the project so much
I’m making a line of aprons for Finn
Fest,” she continues. “I decided to get
a booth and participate in the festival marketplace.”
“So I’ll have aprons, matching
hot pads and towels with traditional Finnish designs,” she says.
‘Peninsula Eats’
Although the original Smithsonian exhibit that started all the fun is
no longer at the museum, a related
exhibit – “Peninsula Eats: Dine at the
Source” – about local food production is still on display through the
end of February.
The exhibit features photographs
and collectibles that relate to the food
production capacity of the Peninsula and environs, including shellfish,

by Wendi Peterson.
salmon harvest, home cooking and
canning traditions. Additionally,
there is a special room with souvenirs and mementos from the Ark
Restaurant days, many from owners Nanci Main and Jimella Lucas’
personal collection of artifacts, featuring photographs, menus and yes,
even aprons.
Kudos for all
From the many artists who participated in creating the aprons to
the satisfied bidders, the Apron
Affair seems to have pleased everyone involved.
Marie Powell sums it up: “All in
all, it was a terrific event. Kudos to
the organizers!”
Entry to the museum is free every
Thursday (sponsored by the Ilwaco
Merchants Association). Hours are
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through
Saturdays and 10 a.m. to noon Sundays. Admission is $5 for adults, $4

Classical guitarist Paul Galbraith performs for Sunday Afternoon Live
RAYMOND, Wash. — To lighten
a case of the midwinter doldrums, there
is nothing more uplifting than a special February concert, and Sunday Afternoon
Live has it. Renowned classical guitarist and
arranger Paul Galbraith will bring his outstanding artistry to the Raymond Theatre, 323
Third St., at 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 7.
Advance tickets are $15 for adults or $5
for children; season tickets do not apply for
this one concert. Tickets will cost $18 at the
box office the day of the performance. Tickets are now on sale at the usual outlets in
Raymond and South Bend, Wash.: Sagen’s
Pharmacy, the Raymond Theatre, Sandra’s Art
& Frame and South Bend Pharmacy, and
can also be reserved by sending check or
money order with SASE to SAL, P.O. Box

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland, Galbraith
studied at St. Mary’s Specialist Music
School, Chatham’s School of Music and the
Royal Northern College of Music, graduating with a diploma in professional performance. He also studied musical interpretation
with Greek pianist and conductor George
Hadjinikos.
At the age of 17, Galbraith won the Silver Medal at the Segovia International Guitar Competition. Andres Segovia was present
and called Galbraith’s playing “magnificent.”
He was lauded by The New Yorker for his
“exceptional artistry” and by the Santa Barbara News-Press for his magic-making music.
This award helped him to launch an international career, including engagements with
some of the finest orchestras in Europe.
Galbraith’s unique style was first revealed
at the Edinburgh Festival in 1989. His guitar, which is supported by a metal endpin
similar to that of a cello, rests on a wooden
resonance box and has two extra strings. The
guitar’s extraordinary design and Galbraith’s
unusual playing position are considered
groundbreaking developments in the history
of the instrument.
Galbraith’s recording of the Complete
Bach Violin Sonatas and Partitas was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award in the category of Best Solo Instrumental Album. His
two-CD set was also chosen as one of the two
best CDs of 1998 by Gramophone Magazine,
which called it “a landmark in the history of
guitar recordings.”
Galbraith has been featured on National
Public Radio’s “All Things Considered”
twice and numerous times on “Performance
Today.” His New York debut at the Frick
Collection received rave reviews in the New
York Times, and a subsequent New York
City engagement on Lincoln Center’s “Great
Performances” series was standing room only.
His upcoming recitals cover the United
States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and several
European orchestra houses. He has appeared
recently with the Indianapolis Chamber
Orchestra, Knoxville Symphony and the
Santa Rosa Symphony, among others.
Galbraith has lived in Malawi, Greece,
London and in Brazil for the past 10 years.
He was a founding member of the Brazilian
Guitar Quartet, playing with them until the
summer of 2003. He continues to study with
Hadjinikos, who has been his principal
teacher since 1983.

Bridges
Continued from Page 11
In time, increased traffic demands generated talk about replacing the ferries with a bridge. Not everyone was impressed with the idea. Critics labeled
it “a bridge to nowhere,” saying that “it would drain Oregon’s pocketbook.”
Despite those protests, Oregon’s governor, Mark O. Hatfield, turned the
first shovel of dirt Aug. 6, 1962, marking the official start of the project.
Designed to withstand wind gusts of 150 miles per hour and still leave
a safety factor, the bridge is an engineering feat. Since Pacific storms often
bring river flooding, the concrete piers are built for a river flood speed of
nine miles per hour, a speed when entire trees can be swept along by the
raging water.
At Tongue Point, hollow bell-shaped shells were cast in concrete,
then floated into place, sunk to the river bottom, then filled with concrete
to create the foundation piers. Whole sections of the steel superstructure
were built on barges 90 miles upstream in Vancouver, Wash. Tugboats then
brought the barges to the site and giant hydraulic jacks lifted the pieces
into place.
The concrete piers that support the prestressed concrete beam spans on
the Astoria approach were located to avoid overloading the slide-prone Astoria hills. The dramatic approach ramp curves a full 360 degrees counterclockwise before climbing to almost 200 feet above mean low water.
Critics who had wondered, “Who would want to take a bridge from a
small town to an empty shore?” were quickly silenced by its success. During the last five months of 1966, the bridge carried about 240,000 vehicles, the state’s projected figure for all of 1967. By 1993, more than 1.6
million vehicles a year were crossing the “bridge to nowhere.” On Dec. 24,
1993, more than two years early, the bonds were paid off and the toll
removed.
But you know what I like most about this particular bridge? The awesome climb up the Astoria side to those incredible views of the Columbia river to the east, and the mouth of the Columbia to the west, especially at sunset. And coming south at night, the twinkling lights of Astoria. I’m really still a kid at heart when it comes to bridges.
Coaster Theatre
season opens Feb. 5
CANNON
BEACH — The
Coaster Theatre
season will open Friday, Feb. 5, with
“Strange Snow,” by Stephen Metcalfe. Doors open at 7:15 p.m. for a
no-host wine tasting by The Wine
Shack in the theater lobby. Curtain is
at 8 p.m. and there will be a complimentary champagne and dessert
reception following the performance.
“Strange Snow” is a dramatic
comedy, the story of two Vietnam
vets who had vowed to honor the
memory of one of their buddies who
didn’t make it back by going fishing
on every opening day of fishing season. Megs arrives to pick up David
at 5 a.m. and meets David’s sister/housekeeper, Martha. A budding
romance develops as together they
try to help David move on with his
life. The play is filled with humor,
humanity and heart – as timely today
as it was in the post-Vietnam era.
Coaster Construction sponsors the
production.
“Strange Snow” is directed by
Karen Bain and features LaMar
Blackner, Donald Connor and Toni
Ihander. Performances are Friday and
Saturday nights at 8 p.m. through
Feb. 27, with one Sunday matinee at
3 p.m. Feb. 14. The Talkback Thursday performance will be Feb. 25 at
7:30 p.m., when the audience can
learn more about the production.
Tickets are $18, $17 or $16 for regular performances, and $14 for adults
or $8 for students on Talkback Thursday.
The Coaster Theatre is located at
108 N. Hemlock St. For more information, call (503) 436-1242 or visit

SEASIDE — Local author Terry
Andrews will be signing copies of
For more on the galleries and artists

her new novel, “Quetzalcoatl
Dreams,” at two local bookstores in
February. Andrews will be at Beach
Books from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday,
Feb. 6, during Seaside’s First Saturday Art Walk, and at Ariki Healing Haven from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13, during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk.
The new novel returns us to the
world Andrews introduced in her
first book, “Dance of the Jaguar.”
That novel told the story of a woman
who connected with the life she was
meant to live, and in 2008 it won a
Silver Nautilus Award, honoring
books that promote spiritual growth,
conscious living and positive social
change.
“Quetzalcoatl Dreams” is set in
central Mexico at an ancient archaeological site called Xochicalco. There
the ruins tell only part of the story.
We learn more as the main character,
Martha, studies with a well-known
shaman and then goes in search of
the missing wisdom needed to create the new earth, wisdom that has
been hidden away for safekeeping
until the time is right.
Andrews likes to write about how
we can discover our essence, live
empowered lives, and connect with
our inherent joy. She does this by
creating stories that not only ring
true but also make us realize our
own potential to create lives of
meaning and purpose. She said that
she writes books to answer her own
questions – questions that many of
us have asked, such as “how do I
discover my purpose and how do I
create the life I want to live?” That’s
why her books resonate deeply with
readers, she said. “They show that by
tapping into our authenticity we can
experience the kind of world that I
write about. And we can begin to
create the lives we want to live.”

Designer and graphic artist
Gary Pearlman, showing at
Fairweather House and Garden, has recently expanded
his repertoire with textural art
on large wood panels.
Fairweather House and
Garden
create original textural wood panels.
Using the colors and shadings in
the deep forests of nature, he embeds
individually cut patterns into works
of art, often integrating hand-made
papers and other mediums. His
works are characterized by intricacy,
abstract and contrasts and detailed
backgrounds, with elements of
expressionist subject matter. Often
giving the impression of having
been created spontaneously, his
paintings tend to call attention to
nature and life.
