Seaside Klezmer Concert

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: seasidechevra@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Trio Deloria (Andrew Ehrlich, Yankl Falk, and Ethan Chessin) presents an exciting program of Klezmer and Yiddish song, Romanian and Hungarian fiddle virtuosity, devotional Hasidic melody, and much more. Although the trio’s name is new, they have been performing together for over 20 years under other names (including 2 previous visits to Astoria in 2014 and 2024). Their deep friendship is reflected in their energetic musical collaborations. Trio Deloria is grateful to the Larsen Center for this opportunity to return to Astoria with an exciting new program.

For more than 40 years, Jack “Yankl” Falk (vocals/clarinet) has been at the center of Yiddish cultural life in Portland and beyond. His repertoire and performance reflects his long involvement with Hungary’s premier Yiddish ensemble, Di Naye Kapelye, with whom he recorded three acclaimed CDs of Carpathian Jewish roots music and performed at festivals across Europe.

Yankl leads the Portland-based klezmer/groove quintet The Carpathian-Pacific Express, which features some of Portland’s leading musicians. His other collaborations have included work with Don Byron’s Music of Mickey Katz, Polka Madre (Mexico City), Di Fidl- Kapelye (Amsterdam), Yale Strom, the Tone Sharks, accordionist Christina Crowder, and cellist Lori Goldston. For more than 30 years, Yankl produced and hosted the Sunday morning Yiddish Hour on Portland radio. A traditional singer of Jewish liturgy, Yankl was featured in a 2013 New York Times article about itinerant High Holiday cantors.

Andrew Ehrlich (violin) is a longtime klezmer and co-founder of his own band, Hora Tzigane, with Martin Morgenbesser. He also performs as a member of the Carpathian- Pacific Express and is the leader of Dr. Ehrlich and the Magic Bullets. Andrew has served as concertmaster of the Portland Chamber Orchestra and the Portland Columbia Symphony. He is a former member of the group “fEAR no MUSIC” and continues to play chamber music in recital. Andrew recently premiered the violin concerto “Prayers and Dances” by Jason Heald based on Jewish themes. He is on the faculty of the Community Music Center in Portland, where he teaches violin and conducts the Adult String Orchestra.

Ethan Chessin (trombone/piano/accordion/voice) teaches choir, songwriting, and music production at Camas High School. Over the last twelve years, his students have premiered over one hundred new pieces of music, written by students and alumni as well as nationally renowned musicians. His expertise in producing major collaborative premieres have earned invitations for his choirs to record and perform alongside Portugal. The Man, Stanley Jordan, Y La Bamba, Girls In Trouble, AU, Michael Allen Harrison, Bright Moments, Kingdom Sound, Trio Tsuica, Carpathian-Pacific Express, and many others. Ethan is a 2023 Country Music Association (CMA) Music Teacher of Excellence, was awarded the first Give A Note Foundation nationwide Music Educator Innovator Award, and has been recognized regionally as a Washington Teacher of the Year Finalist, Southwest Washington Teacher of the Year, and Camas High School Teacher of the Year. Prior to his teaching career, while playing trombone with the MarchFourth Marching Band he performed alongside Pink Martini, opened for Gwen Stefani, and was featured on the soundtrack of the Pixar film “Monsters University”.

Manzanita’s Water Fund

Manzanita’s Water Fund
Posting on behalf of Kim Rosenberg

Manzanita’s water fund isn’t a separate entity from the City. The city maintains and operates the water system. Some of that work is done by Dan Weitzel and the Public Works crew but city staff like the City Manager and Accounting Manager use their time, their city offices, supplies, computers, and printers to do billing and payroll and other work to maintain and operate the water system. The City does this for the water system and the City Charter allows those indirect or overhead costs to the city to be paid out of the water fund.

In Section 22 (i) the Charter states that one of the many duties of the City Manager is to supervise the operation of the public utility. That’s our water system.

I asked Dan Weitzel, Director of Public Works, at July’s Coffee with Councilors for an example of what the CM does in regard to the water system since she’s not out laying pipe or running a backhoe. Weitzel told the group about the recent 2.7 million dollar grant for city water projects that CM Aman applied for and received. It takes time and research to write a grant that will be funded.

Weitzel told those of us at the coffee talk that he speaks with the CM daily and if there’s a problem, more than that. The CM is his boss and the responsibility for the water system doesn’t end at 5pm Friday. In fact, the responsibility for keeping everything running in town including the water, is the CM’s.

This is how I understand indirect or overhead costs. Let’s say the city buys a box of pens and a stack of legal pads to use in their day to day. Staff use their pens and their legal pads for both city stuff and water fund stuff. The same pads and pens are used by both entities so how do you determine the exact cost used by the water fund? And what about office machines like a copier or printer? How do you determine the cost to the water fund of toner they use in a year and what about wear and tear on that printer? Who pays for paper? And then you’ve got stuff like the electric bill because the city offices are where the administrative work of the water fund happens. And if the CM covers city business and water business in the same meeting—how do you keep an exact record?

There’s been a suggestion to have administrative staff use timesheets to track their minute by minute but that’s never been done by any of the city managers we’ve had since the dawn of time. Not even the guy who continues to suggest it, kept a time sheet. Time sheets have probably never been used because CMs wear a bunch of hats and it’s impractical to constantly keep track of how much time is spent on each area. For example, in a conversation about time spent on IT issues, do you separate out the time spent talking about how it affects the water billing system versus other billing systems?

You can so easily get all up in the weeds trying to figure out the minutiae of this stuff.

Which is why governments, corporations and other entities everywhere do an indirect cost allocation to cover the cost of the shared support and services provided to another entity.
You do your best to estimate the time and cost and charge accordingly.

Shamanic Breathwork Immersion

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: sbwceremonies@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Shamanic Breathwork is a practice that helps people release stuck emotions, discover hidden insights, and dance in the realms of inifinite possibility. It is a psychospiritual and somatic healing and transformational practice in which the breath and curated music help people to journey beyond the thinking mind.

As Albert Einstein once said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.” Shamanic Breathwork is a catalyst to move beyond ordinary thinking into expanded states of consciousness where new insights to old problems can be uncovered, recovered, and discovered.

Join us at the Heart Center near Astoria for a full day of breathwork, creative expression, integration and sharing in a beautiful outdoor setting nestled among the trees and near a creek.

A delicious lunch will be served!

Poison Control for Pets

Poison Control for Pets

Posting on behalf of Kim Rosenberg

Last night at about 5:30, as I was getting dinner together, I noticed that Nina, our 8 month old dachshund puppy, was suspiciously quiet in the other room. Ben was at the pottery studio in Nehalem and not expected home until dinner time at 7. When I went to check on Nina, I saw she was happily tearing apart a pack of gum and there was only one piece left.

Like puppies and babies of all kinds Nina puts everything in her mouth—rocks, socks, arch supports, anything questionable or smelly goes straight in her mouth. I’ve been worried about her interest in the bees in our back yard because she’s so small and our last dachshund was allergic. Over the weekend Ben picked up some liquid children’s Benadryl just in case she gets stung when the vet is closed. But we never thought of gum as a dangerous substance.

I got the package away from her—a real trick since this girl likes to play keep away when she has something extra naughty. The gum was sugar free and written in tiny letters on the ripped up package the word xylitol identified the sweetener.

I looked on-line and learned that xylitol is extremely toxic to dogs. It causes hypoglycemia so severe that a dog can quickly lapse into a coma or have seizures. Symptoms can come on fast in 30 minutes and all the information said to go immediately to a vet. Even a few pieces of gum can kill a dog or cause liver damage and our pup only weighs 9.5 pounds. I texted Ben to let him know and asked him how many pieces of gum were in the package. He thought maybe 5 and there was one full piece left so she maybe ate 3 or 4.

Of course, this happened after the vet was closed for the day but on their answering machine and texted automatically to me after my call, I got the number for ASPCA Poison Control a 24 hour toll free number.

I had to hold for what seemed like a long time but probably was five or ten minutes. Someone took my information—Nina’s weight and age, what type of gum, how many pieces, how far from a veterinarian we are. They conferred with a toxicologist and gave us information about how to manage her care overnight (small meals every two hours for twelve hours) and what to do should she have a seizure or seem out of it (give her a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup and go right to Tanasbourne or Dove Lewis). They also gave us a case number should we need to take her in so the vet could get all the details. It cost $95 dollars and they have payment options.

Because she was showing no symptoms except delight that dinnertime appeared to be an all-night buffet, we stayed here in Manzanita and luckily this morning she is fine and we are, too.

We didn’t know that Xylitol is toxic for dogs or how quickly it can cause damage. We also didn’t know that the ASPCA has a poison control number with a staff of toxicologists and veterinarians who can help. That phone number is now in my phone and if you have a pet, I encourage you to do the same!

Botanical Dye Workshops

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: Tara@mudhandcraft.com – Click to email about this post
Workshop Dates:
8/31:noon – 2pm
9/17:noon-2pm
Price: $65 per person
Sign up link:
www.mudhandcraft.com/art-craft-classes

Get an introduction to the art of flower and leaf pounding. The Tataki Zome is a Japanese technique of dyeing by hammering the leaf or flower to get beautiful prints on your textile. Each participant will design and dye their own pre-mordanted 27 x 27 towel.

The best part about Experiences with Botanical Dyes, is creating your own textile art. By using the flower and leaf pounding method or the bundle dye method, participants in this art workshop can create their own towel. The fabric used by students in the class is pre-washed with soda ash that gets rid of contaminants and a metal salt mordant used to help the natural dyes bind to the fabric. This process helps create beautiful and vibrant textile designs that last a long time and don’t fade. Participants will be given a wash and care guide for their new towel or shirt to keep the colors as bright as possible. Botanical dyeing with leaves and flowers is a fun and easy way to create beautiful and natural designs on textiles to wear or to use in your home.

I offer private group workshops on Botanical dyeing if the above dates don’t work for you. Please email Tara@mudhandcraft.com with email subject “Private Event” to check availability.

Looking for someone to haul away old metal for recycling

Hi BBQ land

I’m in search of someone with a larger trailer who can haul off some odd shaped large metal parts that have been hanging out in the back of my barn for a while. Steel top support posts from and old hoop house and an old metal truck canopy are the biggest pieces. There’s also some metal posts sunk in concrete footings that need to go too- they are smaller in size but heavy.

If you have a trailer and can help me out let me know!

Meaning Making and Legacy Projects – North Coast EOL Collective

Posted on by North Coast BBQ

Submitted By: margo@northcoasteolcollective.com – Click to email about this post
Date: August 15th from 6 – 7:00 p.m. (PST)
Offering: Meaning Making and Legacy Projects
Location: Virtual (Zoom)
Registration (required) www.northcoasteolcollective.com/events-one/meaning-making-and-legacy-projects-543ym-ymhy5-7tzxw
Presenter: Carolina Starrett, MFA – Cofounder, North Coast EOL Collective
An artist talk and info session on the value of legacy projects in end-of-life care with co-founder Carolina Starrett.

Carolina Starrett, co-founder of the North Coast EOL Collective, explores the intricate structures of families, both physical and psychological, in her work. Originally from Southern California, Carolina contemplates the resilience inherent in each family iteration, considering how stories and language are embedded in the body and transmitted across generations.

With a dual focus on her roles as a doula and artist, Carolina employs materials and processes as tools for celebration and inquiry into how we collect, retain, and honor memories. Her artistic journey delves into the interplay between stories of family, community, and connection, inviting audiences to reflect on the profound capacity of objects to sustain and perpetuate relationships.

Carolina’s work meditates on the body as a vessel of love and memory, inviting viewers to contemplate the enduring significance of these intertwined elements in the fabric of human experience.

Recent Acknowledgment: “Creative threads run through my family ……..Carolina Starrett and her Legacy Project work with the North Coast EOL Collective to hold the legacy idea close and dearly. My family’s legacy takes many forms – my grandmother and sister making clothes, my mother’s pottery, my father’s photographs, my niece’s fabric art, my sister’s dyed fabric, my brother-in-law’s paintings. To add my sketches to my family’s legacy took some resolve, as my work was intentionally snapshots of a year in time. But how else is a legacy created really, if not by multiple layers of stories, memories, impressions, creative marks made by, spoken by, or held by loved ones? This collection is my first Legacy project, maybe not my last. It was guided by the gentle, caring, and able hand of Carolina.”
