in 1848. His arrival as an intentional castaway was successful, and he became the first native-speaking English teacher in Japan as the country prepared to modernize and meet the English-speaking world a few years later when Commodore Matthew Perry negotiated the opening of Japan to foreign trade. MacDonald is remembered today in a bilingual birthplace monument located at Fort Astoria Square at Exchange and 15th streets behind Fort George. The monument was erected in 1988 concurrent with the formation

of Friends of MacDonald that was established to promote the story of MacDonald and U.S.-Japan friendship and exchange. The evening’s speaker, Jim Mockford, is a maritime historian and author specializing in Asian and Pacific Studies. He attended Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan, and graduated from the University of Oregon Honors College. He recently published “Salute to M/V Salvage Chief” in Sea History magazine’s spring 2018 issue. Mockford was chairman of Friends of MacDonald from 1998 to 2008,

and he will tell some of his favorite Ranald MacDonald stories and describe some of the highlights of Friends of MacDonald, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. The Thursday Night Talks lecture series takes place the third Thursday of each month. Seasonal beers are on tap; food and other beverages are available for purchase.

Heart By Heart comes straight on for you Original Heart members perform at Liberty Theatre on March 10 By DON FRADES

FOR COAST WEEKEND

eart, one of the most famous and successful rock bands of the late 20th century, rose to fame with hits like “Crazy on You,” “Barracuda” and “Magic Man,” as well as softer songs like “Dog and Butterfly.” Their sound was defined by the powerful vocals and guitar stylings of the Wilson sisters, Ann and Nancy, backed by a versatile core of musicians. Founding members Steve Fossen on bass and Mike Derosier on drums played with the band from its earliest incarnation in 1967 until 1982, and again when the original Heart lineup reunited for a single performance at their 2013 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fossen and Derosier have formed a new tribute band, Heart By Heart, which Fossen said in an interview with Coast Weekend is “the next viable choice to recreate the excitement of when Heart first came out.” The band will play Astoria’s Liberty Theatre 7 p.m. Saturday, March 10, with acclaimed vocalist Somar Macek. Other members include Lizzy Daymont on guitar, vocals and keyboards; and Chad Quist on guitar, filling in for Randy Hansen. Doors open at 6 p.m. Fossen, who lives in Seattle, where Heart was founded, said the idea for the new band came about a few years ago when he and Macek began performing Heart songs as a duo in bistros and clubs in the city. As they became better known and offered more gigs, they decided to fill out the band, inviting Derosier and

Joined hearts

The name “Heart By Heart,” Fossen said, comes from the “joined hearts” of himself and Macek, whom he married two years ago. “We were in love, and having the word ‘heart’ in there seemed like a no-brainer. First and foremost was that our hearts were joined — heart by heart.” The band has been touring the country recently, playing smaller venues like the Liberty Theatre and interacting with fans after the show. Fossen said there are a lot of younger people familiar with Heart

songs who show up to see the concerts. “In Klamath Falls, a couple came up and said they had conceived their child to (1975’s) ‘Dreamboat Annie.’” Though Fossen and Derosier left Heart during a shake-up in 1982, before the band’s big-hair power-ballad phase, Heart By Heart does a 12-minute medley of ’80s songs. “I like playing all of them,” Fossen said. What’s their favorite song to perform? Both Fossen and Derosier have a fondness for 1978’s “Mistral Wind.” “I really love Mike’s drums on that,” Fossen said, “It’s fun to play, and it has a lot of meaning to it.” One legend holds that the two founders

created a “poor man’s copyright” for Heart in the band’s early days by creating the name, signing a letter and mailing it back to themselves. Fossen chuckled, “Yes, that’s true. I still have the envelope, but I’ve never opened it. I’m curious to see what it says.” Heart By Heart encourages fans to bring albums, photos and memorabilia for autographs after the show. CW

Introducing ‘Intercambio,’ a weekly Spanish-English discussion group at Astoria Library ASTORIA — The Astoria Library introduces “Intercambio,” an opportunity for speakers and learners of English and Spanish to gather together for conversation and language practice. The group will meet at 3 p.m. each Saturday at the library (450 10th St.). The first session will take place Saturday, March 10. Intercambio is not a class but an informal setting where participants may share knowledge of their native language and practice a new language with native speakers. Typically, about half of the session will be devoted to Spanish conversation, the other half to English. Participants with any level of language ability are welcome, but those with some familiarity with the new language might find the experience more enjoyable. Those who just

want to listen are welcome, too. The Astoria Library is guided by the mission statement: “Explore ideas, engage minds, excite imagination.” For more information about library programs and services, contact library staff at 503-3257323 or comments@ astorialibrary, or visit astorialibrary.org. Intercambio es una oportunidad de practicar el inglés y de compartir el español con los que lo desean aprender. No es una clase, sino una sesión de 90 minutos en cuando puedes charlar en inglés y en español, donde puedes compartir tu propio idioma nativo y aprender algo nuevo del inglés. No importa qué nivel de inglés tienes o si sólo quieres escuchar. Todos son bienvenidos.

CANNON BEACH — Are you fascinated with shipwrecks? Do you find yourself watching too many historical shows and movies about pirates, ships or swashbuckling archaeologists? Then the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum has the perfect event for you. At 4 p.m. Thursday, March 15, the museum welcomes marine archaeologist Chris Dewey, an expert on Oregon Coast shipwrecks. An East Coast transplant, Dewey now calls Astoria home. Dewey is a retired naval officer, instructor of archaeology and

anthropology at Clatsop Community College and president of the Maritime Archaeological Society. Headquartered in Astoria, the Society was created to help document and share maritime history with the public. The Oregon Coast is home to thousands of shipwrecks, some discovered and some not. It’s the Society’s mission to assist archaeologists in locating, documenting and conserving artifacts related to shipwrecks and other submerged archaeological sites. Dewey will discuss the tools, techniques and strategies used to discov-

er and investigate shipwrecks and their histories. He will cover some of the greater- and lesser-known shipwrecks in our area and the efforts to locate and document their wreck sites. The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum (1387 South Spruce St.) is a private nonprofit that endeavors to make history available to everyone by offering donation-based admission. Lectures are free and open to the public. For more information, visit cbhistory.org or find the museum on Facebook.

Lost at sea, buried in Seaside Who knows how many lives were lost?

last resting place for many unnamed souls. A Seaside resident told the story of two fishermen who drowned after their boat capsized off Tillamook Head. They were buried on the rocky rise behind the original gravesite. Legend also recalls a drowned man who was found strapped to the deck of a sloop and recovered by residents. They buried him in the high ground area of the gravesite. Another report tells of a child who died and received burial by the gravesite. “The Cove was used as a burial ground as there were no houses in sight, the ocean was in front and lush spruce and pine trees behind,” Montero said.

he wall marking Sailors’ Grave stands about knee-high, encompassing a 12-foot-by-12-foot patch of land at the southeast edge of the Cove. Inside the wall is a hand-carved rock that reads “Known Only To God.” The street side bears the inscription “Found On The Beach, April 25, 1865.” No names or countries are inscribed on the stones. Accounts have been retold throughout the decades surrounding the mystery of the grave. No one really knows how many unknowns are buried there. This mystery so intrigued Bill and Robin Montero, who purchased their home on Sunset Boulevard in 2010, they wanted to find out more. When the opportunity presented itself, they shared their research on who may reside within the walled grave at the February History & Hops speaker series event.

Sailors’ Grave sits near the beach in Seaside.

POINTS OF HISTORICAL INTEREST

The Monteros discovered the current location of the grave is not the original 1865 gravesite. When local builder Al Hansen built his home at the Cove in 1937, he also built the walled memorial seen today. One story, as told by Sarah Gearhart Byrd, Robin Montero said, was about a man named John Hobson, who in 1865, happened to be at the south end of Clatsop Beach when three sailors rowed ashore from an anchored ship near Tillamook Head, looking to fill their casks with fresh water. The sailors wanted to return to their ship before dark and soon headed back. When Hobson noticed the weather change and fearing for the sailor’s safety, he built a bonfire on the beach to help guide the sailors back to shore. The next morning, to his dismay, Hobson saw the sailor’s bodies and buried them above the high tide line, placing a marker in acknowledgment. Another story is derived from a 19th-century interview with Judge Thomas McBride, who attended the funeral of the captain of the ship Industry. Industry set sail with 23 passengers and crew from San Francisco in February 1865. After reaching the mouth of the Columbia River in March, it anchored offshore for two weeks due to inclement weather, waiting for a pilot boat to guide the

Soldiers from a nearby fort rescued only seven. “It’s noteworthy to say that burial of the dead was mainly in the Clatsop Pioneer Cemetery,” Montero explained. “However, there are incidents when the area of the original sailors’ grave was used instead.” According to the Monteros, the grounds above the high tide line at the Cove are the

Even today, she added, remains of the deceased are scattered at the Sailors’ Grave in memoriam and homage to all those who perished before. “It is a sacred place of respect.” Today, the gravesite is maintained by a group of neighboring residents: the Monteros, Walt and Denise Walthour, Walter Daggett, John Parks, Jay and Jan Barber, Lynette Scribner, Marcus Lundell and Bill Basiliko. The group is currently working on identifying more homes built by Al Hansen, and they plan to design a plaque recognizing the local builder. Ten homes have been identified, including the Hansen-built homes each member lives in, Montero noted. At a 2011 Seaside City Council meeting, Robin Montero and Gloria Linkey presented a proposal to the council for an information board to be erected at the gravesite with a narrative of the three sailors, Capt. Lewis and ocean safety information. The board was installed last summer. Before last summer, only nautical flags were raised on the flagpole. Without continuous lighting, the American flag could not be raised without being lowered and removed at dusk every day, Montero said. With the assistance of the city and Public Works Director Dale McDowell, the flagpole was upgraded with an LED light and the nautical flags were replaced with an American flag. Steve Wright, president of the Seaside Museum & Historical Society, concluded the evening by putting the year 1865 into perspective. April of 1865 held momentous impact: the American Civil War ended April 9; Abraham Lincoln was shot April 14 and died April 15; and John Wilkes Booth died April 26. CW

’re I Love You, I You Love You, You re ’ Perfect, Now Change Perfect, Now Change Peninsula Players recreate off-Broadway musical comedy in Ilwaco

By PATRICK WEBB FOR COAST WEEKEND

ver worried about a blind date? Ever felt uncertainty in a relationship? Ever broken up? All are issues highlighted in a musical comedy presented by Peninsula Players in Ilwaco, Washington, this month. “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” opens Friday, March 9, and runs three weekends through Sunday, March 25, at the River City Playhouse. Tickets are on sale at Long Beach Peninsula locations, or reservations may be made by phone. The show is presented as a series of musical vignettes about love and relationships. Scenes show characters reflecting on being single, facing a first date, meeting the parents, marriage, pregnancy, parenting and breaking up. Director Rita Smith said it is intended for adult audiences. The show was off-Broadway’s second longest-running show and has played in London and around the world, where it’s been translated into 17 languages, including Mandarin, Catalan and Turkish. “A friend saw it and said it was hilarious,” Smith said. “It’s definitely adult humor — it’s hysterical. There’s a lot of truisms in it, even though it is played over the top.” In New York and elsewhere, the show has been staged with as few as four performers. Smith has chosen a larger group; all portray several characters. Actors include Smith, Robert Scherrer, Missy Bageant, Bryan Foster, Bob Goldberg, Melissa Goldberg, David Immel, Bette Lu Krause, Rachel Lake, Kevin Perry, Rose Power, Diana Thompson and Matthew Warner.

IF YOU GO “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change” Who: Peninsula Players What: “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” Where: River City Playhouse, 127 Lake St., Ilwaco, Washington When: 7 p.m. Friday, March 9, and Saturday, March 10; 2 p.m. Sunday, March 11; 7 p.m. March 16, 17, 23, 24; and 2 p.m. March 18 and 25.

Astoria actor Bob Goldberg, center, plays an imprisoned murderer who is called on to act as a marriage counselor in Peninsula Players’ latest production — but to succeed he must first stop Kevin Perry and Rachel Lake from arguing.

“There are times when we are just laughing our way through rehearsals,” Smith said. “It’s just a fun, fun show. There’s a couple of songs that are more tenderhearted and very true. The idea is, you meet someone, you fall in love with them and then you would like to change something.” Songs include “Cantata for a First Date,” “Men Who Talk and the Women Who Pretend They’re Listening” and “Shouldn’t I Be Less In Love With You?” Power said the play will resonate with older people re-entering the dating scene. “It’s funny, but it’s also poignant,” she said. “A lot of people will relate to it.” Scherrer agreed. He said the writers have nailed exactly what people in relationships worry about. “I found myself laughing just thinking about how many times that these trials and tribulations appear in everyday life, whether to myself or people who I have observed,” he said. “My scenes include a couple attending a movie, when he has let her

decide which ‘flick’ to see, with instant regrets. But it turns out he falls apart, even though insisting he can’t in front of her. It is quite hilarious. “I also play a dad, along with his

wife, and they think their son is about to tell them he is getting married — but actually he is informing us they are breaking up.” Bob Goldberg played the lead role

in Peninsula Players’ “Twelve Angry Jurors” last year, but this is his first time singing with the group. “There are some great characters in this musical,” he said. “I play a prisoner helping a dating service by scaring a couple into getting married, a goo-goo-eyed new daddy whose life revolves around his kid and equally sappy wife, and a self-absorbed single man who never stops talking on a date in three of the musical’s 20-or-so vignettes about relationships. “I think most of us have been in several of the situations shown — whether it’s an awkward first date, the search for a new partner, an evolving marriage or relationship, or the joy of a new child — and will laugh, sigh, cry or scream in empathy with the characters on stage,” Goldberg said. “Add really funny, touching, catchy songs to some hilarious situations involving relationships, and you get a musical that’s a lot of fun to play in, and one I think that our audiences will love.” CW

February’s flurry of food festivals Story by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

FACEBOOK.COM/MOUTHOFTHECOLUMBIA

espite a few glints of spring’s approach, February can be a trying time ’round these parts. We’re cold, wet, cooped up and over it. So I give mighty thanks to February’s flurry of festivals — among them Astoria’s Festival of Dark Arts and FisherPoets Gathering, and Seaside’s Fiery Foods Festival — without which I might’ve lost my mind. These events are, in many ways, a response to February: They gather context, meaning and necessity from its shivering, wet, oft-barren darkness. At Fort George Brewery, February is Stout Month. Their proclamation: “The shortest and darkest month is the perfect time to showcase the immense variety hidden within this style of beer.” The culmination of Stout Month is the Festival of Dark Arts, a daylong carnival with blackened suds flowing from some 65-plus kegs. It’s a bright, lively party when we need it most. Similarly, holding the Fiery Foods Festival in February makes perfect sense: It’s an all-comers spicy cooking competition, voted on by a tasting audience, just when we’re in need of warmth. On this particular Saturday — chilly and crummy, of course — the spice eventually had me retiring my coat, hat and sweatshirt to the car. With sweaty cheeks, the layers were no longer necessary. Then there’s FisherPoets Gathering, which has to be held outside of summer’s fishing seasons. The three-day event was inspired by founder Jon Broderick’s trip to the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, but rather than cowboys, the poems are written and read by commercial fishermen. (Dungeness crabbers, though, were still at

work.) And FisherPoets gains color from taking place in rotten weather, as many of the tales take place in the face of unrelenting nature. More than February’s weather, though, these three festivals are united by food. Eating and drinking are at their hearts. As for Dark Arts, stout may be the food-iest of all beers. From savory to sweet, salty to bitter and beyond, stout is a gracious and malleable vessel. It’s a brewer’s beer. Which may be why so many beermongers from around the Northwest flocked to the Fort George campus. A brief collection of ingredients included in the stouts: Peruvian cocoa nibs, pinot noir, basil, lemongrass, fennel, fig, chaga mushrooms, dulce de leche, lentils, star anise and Vermont maple syrup. And those were just some of the ones I didn’t get to try. Among the more exciting ones I did: a peppy Green Imperial Stout from Caldera Brewing Company with a twang of roasted green chiles, tomatillos and green peppercorns; Gigantic’s Nevermind Oyster Stout, with briny Netarts

Bay oysters and oyster liquor (aka the liquid found inside the shell); and Mill City’s Habanero Rum Trip Barrel. In each case, I wouldn’t have complained if these left-field flavors were cranked up, brought further into the fore. Let’s get wild! (There was plenty of food at Dark Arts, but I had other dining obligations that evening. Still: There’s opportunity to expand the fest’s fare to feature much more stout.) Speaking of habaneros, a few of those orange brats made it into Fiery Foods. But none of the 25 dishes entered in the competition had an unyielding heat. (Organizers learned early on that mind-bending spice was easy, palate-ruining and a whole lot less enjoyable than developed flavor with a reasonable kick.) This year’s Fiery Foods saw twice as many entrants as 2017. The Relief Pitcher was overstuffed and then some. Imagine dining in a crowded elevator and you’re basically there. But all those bodies also meant that anticipation was bubbling. Many cooks had been working for days on their dishes: marinating, refining, dialing the

heat up or down. Some were hellbent on winning, others just happy to participate. I was overcome by the sense of discovery: 25 home-cooked bites spanning from chilis to chowders to cupcakes, tacos, meatballs, pastas and so on. My ballot, for what it’s worth: 1.) a complex and vivacious Seafood Jambalaya complete with clams in the shell; 2.) a refreshing, wholesome, palate-pivoting African Peanut Chicken Stew; and 3.) Baby Back Ribs that were impeccably cooked and balanced. Alas, my votes had no overlap with the winners: 1.) Ghost Chowder; 2.) Teriyaki Meatballs; 3.) Ghost Chili. But Fiery Foods adds up to more than just a contest, tasting or cheap meal. It’s a vibrant potluck with a rustic local spirit. In a sea of crockpots, platters and bowls spread across a pool table, all from different households and boasting family recipes, a community is forged. I met one attendee who’d attended Fiery Foods each of its 21 years. He wasn’t an outlier. As it were, FisherPoets, too, is entering adulthood, celebrating its 21st year. And while the literature performed by the FisherPoets tends to focus more on the physicality,

lifestyle and grit and grind of grueling labor and awesome nature, I kept coming back to dinner — it’s ostensibly the driving force that keeps these men and women returning to places like Bristol Bay every summer and deploying their gillnets. Rarely is the journey of any food from the wild to the table so vividly depicted. I was taken by the removal of abstraction, the remarkable lengths, the fortitude required. Indeed, few if any foods require the personal risk or sacrifice of commercial fishing. In terms of commercial salmon fishing, I find it rather remarkable that fisherman — at least these FisherPoets — retain such romanticism for the process, the fish, the natural cycle. Unlikely or contrary as it may appear, some FisherPoets double as activists. One sang about protecting immigrant workers. Another was a documentary filmmaker protesting a mine proposed at the mouth of Bristol Bay, the epicenter of Alaskan salmon fishing. While film certainly is an avenue to making a difference, the director might want to include a meal at his screening. Change requires building a community, and, as these festivals show, food does just that. CW

‘Behind the Bar’ on tap during Astoria Art Walk ASTORIA — The Clatsop County Heritage Museum will be participating in Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk 5 to 9 p.m. March 10. This may be your final chance to see the temporary exhibit “Behind the Bar: The Folk Art of Arvi Ostrom and the Snug Harbor,” as the exhibit closes soon afterward. “Behind the Bar” features a fraction of the more than 10,000 drawings, paintings and carvings created by Astoria’s prolific folk artist and saloon operator Arvi Ostrom. Many people may recall Arvi’s Uniontown tavern, the Snug Harbor, and his drawings, but few

could imagine the breadth of his work and talent. Upon Ostrom’s death in 1994, his grandson Ken Carlson became the caretaker of this vast collection. He has endeavored to preserve his grandfather’s legacy and share it with the public for the first time. The Historical Society is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of Clatsop County and the surrounding area. The Society operates the Flavel House Museum, the Heritage Museum, the Oregon Film Museum and the Uppertown Firefighters Museum.

ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery hosts the opening and artist reception for “Correspondence,” an exhibit by Austin Granger, during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk 5 to 8 p.m. March 10. Granger will give a talk 4 to 5 p.m. before the opening. Contact LightBox (1045 Marine Drive) at 503-468-0238 or info@ lightbox-photographic.com for limited reserved seating. Granger is a prolific image-maker living in Portland. “Correspondence” is a personal narrative of imagery from his daily wanderings. Insightful and inventive, Granger carries an array of favorite traditional film cameras everywhere. We are happy to present 60 platinum/palladium prints, covering LightBox’s walls with handmade prints of Granger’s work.

his head. Preferring to use traditional film cameras, he has come to see his photography as a spiritual practice — a way to shape his life and enrich his relationship with the world. “I’ve come to think of

my pictures as an attempt to understand myself, and also as an attempt to communicate,” he said. “I want to express emotions that people will recognize. I want my pictures to be a correspondence between us, to be both the place and the record of our meeting.” His exhibit runs through Tuesday, April 10.

“Little Monsters About to Cross the Line,” a ceramic and mixed-media piece by Jacquline Hurlbert

ASTORIA — RiverSea Gallery presents two art shows and a book signing for Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk in an event that pays tribute to strong, creative women of many talents. “Fierce” is an exhibition celebrating feminine power by 14 female artists from around the Pacific Northwest who have contributed pieces addressing the theme of strong women in honor of National Women’s History Month. Joan Stuart Ross is featured in the Alcove with a solo exhibition titled “Oysters Surround Me” — a series of lush, colorful paintings in pigmented beeswax inspired by the ubiquitous oysters found near her cottage on Willapa Bay. Both exhibitions will remain on view through Sunday, April 8. Festivities begin 4 p.m. Saturday, March 10, with Astoria author Marianne Monson signing copies of her book “Frontier Grit: The Unlikely True Stories of Daring Pioneer Women,” followed by a reception 5 to 8 p.m. Art Walk attendees will enjoy folk music by local singer/songwriter

Lucy Barna. Asked about the title of this month’s group show, gallery owner Jeannine Grafton said, “To me, ‘Fierce’ implies strength with passion, turning to a wild and fiery inner force to give an edge to your resolve. Sometimes it takes an edge like that to forge change in the world.” The group exhibition will showcase a variety of mediums, from paintings and works on paper to sculpture, fiber art and mixed media. Featured artists include Alea Bone, Stephanie Brockway, Corinne Carbone, Heide Davis, Alison Eriksen, Jacquline Hurlbert, Liz McDonald, Melissa Monroe, Alison O’Donoghue, Stacy Polson, Nicole Rawlins, Leslie Peterson Sapp, Karen Wippich and Cathie Joy Young. Discover fine art, contemporary craft, jewelry and gifts by outstanding Northwest artists at RiverSea Gallery (1160 Commercial St.).

Sharon Amber teaches ancient jewelry-making technique C A N N O N B E A C H — Re nowned jewelry artist Sharon Amber presents an intimate, hands-on, threeday repoussé and chasing workshop in Cannon Beach. Over the course of three afternoons — 1 to 4 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, to Thursday, March 22 — students will design and create their own piece of handmade, one-of-a-kind copper jewelry. No experi ence is necessary. “If I can teach fifth graders to do it,” Amber said, “I can teach anyone.” Repoussé and chasing are ancient forms of met alworking developed some 5,000 years ago. Designs will be devel oped, transferred to the copper, traced, hammered and cut out. As the low-relief process is tapped out in a bowl lined with tree pitch (which cushions the blow), works of repoussé and chasing exhibit more three-dimensional qualities. While Amber will assist with design-making and provide examples, she sug gests that students consid er what they might like to put on their copper canvas in advance. “I want everyone to bring some designs in mind,” Amber said. “But I will also bring some art nouveau designs in books. Celtic knots, faces, flow ers and art nouveau lend themselves to this tech nique very well.” Amber began her jew elry career working in re poussé and chasing, partly because of the low barrier to entry. “You just need a few hand tools,” Amber said. “It’s very mobile.” Students will gain all the necessary skills to continue working on their own.

cost of equipment — most ly a set of hand chisels — is also relatively modest. Other forms of jewelry making, such as wax cast

ing, require more intense equipment, such as a kiln. “Wax casting would be a much bigger invest ment,” Amber said. “It’s

harder to do at home on an amateur budget. But repoussé and chasing is really accessible, and the results are absolutely beautiful.” It’s a very meditative art, and “you end up watch ing this piece of jewelry just appear before your eyes,” Amber added. “It’s really cool.” The workshop costs $200. All materials are included. Class size is extremely limited, and an RSVP is required. To register, contact the Tolovana Arts Colony at tolovanaartscolony@gmail. com or call 541-215-4445. Classes will be held at Tolovana Hall (3779 S. Hemlock St.).

for 30 years. She taught oil painting classes, and her work was seen around town and at the Vancouver Farmers Market. Her academic art training taught Bosch to paint with oil and acrylic on canvas. After buying 10 old windows at a garage sale, Bosch added them to her painting materials. She was known for her paintings on windowpanes. Her subjects were varied, with old barn scenes, vineyards, landscapes and fruit still life selling fast. Bosch moved to the Long Beach Peninsula in 2014. Last summer her work was exhibited in The Cove Restaurant, a show that introduced Bosch to a new art-loving public. Her bold

colors and happy subjects brightened our summer. Bay Avenue Gallery has been an art place for Bosch for the past two years. Two days each week she works in our studio. She has added clay sculpting to her artistic skills. Her work has been for sale in the gallery (her garden flowers and cell phone holders are her most popular).

ELK [ƐLK] noun

plural: elk or elks

1. Cervus canadensis: any number of species of large, reddish-brown deer of the family Cervidae native to North America and Eastern Asia. Also known as wapiti, cervus canadensis roosevelti, or Roosevelt Elk, roam Oregon and Washington and are the largest of the different subspecies. Bulls grow large, flat bursts of antler, which they shed annually. Males can weigh north of a ton, while cows generally weigh around 600 pounds. Elk in general are one of the largest land mammals of North America. 2. The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks: First established in 1868

From the late Old English elh, eolh or elch. A cognate with the Middle High German elch, all from the Proto-Germanic elkh-, which related to both “deer” as well as a reddish color. Around the late 15th century the consonant H was replaced with a K, forming the modern spelling. The term wapiti is an Americanization of the Shawnee Indian word, waapiti, which was first recorded in 1806 and means “white,” referring to the white rump of the beast. In Britain, the term “elk” actually refers to a moose and was improperly applied to the North American animal by European settlers. “Warrenton isn’t Gearhart, where elk are the bane of a golf course, a protective mother elk once men-

aced beachgoers and people have reported being stuck in their homes or threatened in the streets. But some locals believe the Warrenton herd is turning into a similar problem, growing in size and becoming too comfortable in town. They worry about damage to property and safety on the road.” — Katie Frankowicz, “Elk concerns on the rise in Warrenton,” T he Daily Astorian, Feb. 15, 2018 “In celebration of the 150th birthday of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks, Seaside Lodge will host an open house on Saturday, Feb. 10. All community members and families are invited to visit the lodge, take a tour, watch the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby, enjoy a snack, play a game and meet Elks members.” — “Anniversary celebration for Elks,” Cannon Beach Gazette, Feb. 6, 2018 CW

Haystack Rock

You’re gonna lava this lecture CANNON BEACH — The next talk in the “World of Haystack Rock” series features Bill Chadwick, research professor at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center. His presentation, titled “Axial Seamount: The Most Active Volcano in the Pacific Northwest,” takes place Wednesday, March 14.

The free lecture is the latest installment of a series held 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month through April at the Cannon Beach Library (131 N. Hemlock St.). Chadwick’s research interests include investigating how magma is supplied and stored at active volcanoes, how lava is emplaced during

submarine eruptions and how underwater eruptions affect the chemistry and ecosystems of hydrothermal vent sites. The final talk this season, taking place April 11, will be “Life in the Coastal Edge,” with Katie Voelke, director of the North Coast Land Conservancy. The “World of Haystack Rock” series is sponsored

by the Friends of Haystack Rock. The Friends group supports the Haystack Rock Awareness Program in cooperation with the City of Cannon Beach, promoting the preservation and protection of intertidal life and birds that inhabit the Marine Garden and the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge at Haystack Rock.

Plant a willow, welcome a beaver to Thompson Creek SEASIDE — Thompson Creek and Stanley Marsh Habitat Reserve in Seaside is one of the North Coast Land Conservancy’s most visible success stories, with coho salmon migrating up Thompson Creek to spawn every winter and beavers returning to create more salmon habitat. You can help the Conservancy keep that success going by joining a willow-planting stewardship day at Thompson Creek 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 10. Willow planting is one of the conservancy’s easiest and most popular stewardship activities. Willows provide food and building materials to beavers. The dams those beavers build result in broader wetlands, enhancing habitat for a wide

variety of wildlife, from salmon to waterfowl. People of all ages and abilities are welcome. Volunteers will gather at the pump house at Thompson Creek, on the east side of Seaside off Lewis and Clark Road. Contact Stewardship Director Melissa Reich at melissar@nclctrust.org to let her know you’ll be coming and to get directions. Bring a lunch and water. Wear waterproof boots and work gloves if you have them. Prepare to get muddy; this stewardship day happens rain or shine (barring extreme weather). There are no toilets on the property. Dogs are not allowed at Conservancy habitat reserves. Read more about Thompson Creek and Stanley Marsh at nclctrust.org.

Get hooked by professor’s angle on fish MANZANITA — Join the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council and guest co-host, Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, as we welcome Dr. Scott Heppell, associate professor of fisheries at Oregon State University, Thursday, March 8, at the Pine Grove Community House (225 Laneda Ave.), in Manzanita. The presentation will start at 7:20 p.m. following an update from the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Heppell’s research focuses on the physiological ecology of fishes, in particular how physiology, behavior and life history traits affect the interactions between fish populations, their respective fisheries and the environment.

Dr. Scott Heppell, associate professor of fisheries at Oregon State University

Imagine a baby fish in an immense ocean — how does it get from where it is born to where it will settle and grow? Once it is grown, what area will it call home? These questions are crucial when considering the size and spacing of Oregon’s marine

reserves, protected areas in our state coastal waters. Almost no information exists for marine reserves regarding “Are they big enough?” and “Are they close enough together?” But Heppell and his team are beginning to answer these questions for

the Redfish Rocks Marine Reserve near Port Orford on the southern Oregon Coast. This event is part of the Lower Nehalem Watershed Council’s regular Speaker Series. Join us at the Community House each second Thursday from January through May, and October and November, for natural resource-focused presentations. New to the Speaker Series: We’re raffling off a gift certificate or special item from a local business supporter during each event. This month we have a $25 gift certificate and hat from Wheeler Marina. Raffle tickets will be available for a $5 donation at the door, and the winner will be drawn at the end of the presentation.
