Hillsboro native and YouTube phenom Savannah Outen returns to Oregon for a concert March 10.

TVF&R Pipes and Drums will make several appearances on the Westside for St. Patrick’s Day. Pictured above is Drum Major Brad King.

The economy has been a predominant topic of conversation these days. There are few who haven’t in some way been affected by changes in the economy. With the economy on everybody’s minds, The Friends of the Forest Grove Library and Pacific University are challenging the next generation to sound off on the issue, and asking the rest of us to

listen to some words of wisdom. As part of the Forest Grove

Conversations event, winners from a student essay competition will be honored and a panel of local experts will give some perspective. Panelists scheduled to appear include Lawrence Lipin, Professor of History at Pacific University, Jerralynn Ness, Executive Director of Community Action Organization in Hillsboro, and Manuel Castaneda, CEO of Pro Landscape. The event starts at 7 p.m. on Tuesday March 20 in the Forest Grove Community Auditorium at 1915 Main Street in downtown Forest Grove. It is free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.fglibrary.plinkit.org

Westside Girl to Watch

With more than 80 million views of her videos on YouTube, a few movie soundtrack credits, and an international fan base, Hillsboro native Savannah Outen could be one to watch. Outen, 19, started posting homemade videos of herself playing guitar and singing popular songs on YouTube in 2007. Outen went on to record several songs including her first single “Goodbyes” which grew to popularity on RadioDisney. Since then Outen has recorded dozens of covers, a Christmas album, and a few other original pop songs with music videos. Her rendition of the song “No Place Like Here” was featured as a bonus track on the soundtrack for the movie “Quest for Zhu.” She also sang “A Greater Treasure than a Friend” on the soundtrack for the movie “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure.” Recently Outen filmed some clips that could appear in the new Judd Apatow film set to hit theatres in December 2012. The film - tentatively called “This is 40” - is starring Paul Rudd.In the coming months, Outen plans to release more original music and a few more covers as well, including her recent rendition of “Rhiannon” by Fleetwood Mac. While Outen now spends most of her time in Los Angeles and New York, the Washington County native will return to Oregon for a special concert this month. She will perform at the Girl Scouts’ 100th Anniversary at the Pioneer Courthouse Square at 1 p.m. on Saturday March 10. You can also catch her latest videos on YouTube. While she hasn’t spent too much time in her hometown of Hillsboro lately, when she is here, she loves to chill at Insomnia Coffee Company in Tanasbourne.

Modern rock would sound a lot different if Jimi Hendrix played the harp instead of a guitar, if the epitomical icon of the genre would have strummed 36 strings instead of 6. While the classic rocker didn’t employ the angelic instrument to make his melodies, members of a local Celtic-inspired rock duo do. Rob “Bodhi” Wolff and Tyger Bailey of Portland-based band Finn Doxie use a guitar and a harp to recreate popular songs by the likes of Coldplay, Queen, The Verve, and The Killers. Along with taking on the guitar, Wolff performs vocals and percussion. Bailey accompanies

Polecat is more grassroots than bluegrass. While the band from Bellingham, Wash. plays what many would call Americana-style music, the group’s worldly repertoire encompasses more than just the sound of Appalachia. Each member of the five-piece band brings a range of influences to the stage, from Celtic melodies to reggae beats. Under the direction of Aaron Guest on the 12-string guitar and lead vocals, Polecat stakes its claim to sound fame somewhere between the frequency of neo-folk and roots music. This month, the band nearing the end of its sophomore year will play the McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove as part of the Great Northwest Music Tour. That circuit will take them to several historic hotels around Oregon and in between they plan to play a smattering of shows. Promoting “Fire on the Hill,” their first full-length album released last spring, the band has played more than 200 shows around the Northwest in the last two years. Along with selling T-shirts and cds to make a little gas money and ensure their ends meet, Polecat has taken to busking. They’ve been known to play a stripped down impromptu show here and there. Their favorite venue for improvisation is on the Washington State Ferries, where they can play to a captive audience and at least recoup their passenger fare when traveling to the islands to play a gig. Through their music, Polecat conveys the rustic charm of an old shack in the snowy woods with pelts hanging on the wall, an actual place where the name for the band was derived. Catch Polecat at 7 p.m. on March 24 in the Grand Compass Room Theatre at the Grand Lodge in Forest Grove. www.polecatbluegrass.com

on the harp, playing parts of the lead in their original adaptations. Bailey bought her first harp at a Renaissance Fair about nine years ago and has composed two original albums of Celtic harp music including “In Faerie” and “Forest’s Chrysalis.” Bailey and Wolff have been playing together as Finn Doxie for about two years. The pair will play Primrose and Tumbleweeds in downtown Hillsboro at 8:30 p.m. on March 3. For more information, check out www.primroseandtumbleweeds.com

Not every kid begs their parents for a piano. Nicole Gose did. She was nine years old. She got one too, and pretty much taught herself how to play.Gose, originally from Hawaii, now fronts Nilika Remi, a Portland-based band that will play a St. Patrick’s Day show on the Westside at Ballad Town Billiards in Forest Grove. A four-sometimes-five-piece band, Nilika Remi plays progressive folk rock driven by Gose’s songwriting and strong musical accompaniment. The original material the band plays sounds inspired by a little Death Cab for Cutie, a little Tori Amos with some heavy themes and darker looks at life and love. In addition to fronting the band, Gose, a former telemarketer who recently quit her day job to pursue music full time, also writes commercial jingles. Her ditties have gone to sell homes in Sunriver, a clothing line, and most recently Sketchers shoes. For the band, the group has some 20 original songs it performs.

Local favorite musicians Hanz Araki and Kathryn Claire will perform a special concert at the Tigard Library this month as part of an evening of Irish céilí - a gathering with traditional music and dance. Along with the Araki and Claire duo, retired firefighter Tim Birr, formerly with Tualatin Valley Fire and Rescue, will open the community night event with a bagpipe prelude. Birr was a founding member of TVF&R Pipes and Drums. Also on tap for the night, Sam Keator of S&A Entertainment will teach participants some traditional Irish dance moves. The event will start at 6:15 p.m. on Wednesday March 14 at the Tigard Public Library in the community room. This traditional céilí is free and open to all ages.

“What We Carried” ShowcaseExhibit tells the stories of Iraqi refugees and immigrants

who fled their homeland and relocated to the US

What would you carry if you could only grab a few things and had to leave everything else behind? That is what photographer Jim Lommasson set out to document when he interviewed and photographed refugees and immigrants who in the last decade fled from their home country of Iraq and came to the US. The results of Lommasson’s efforts will be showcased and the experiences of the people he met will be retold at the Washington County Museum this month in a joint show with Print Arts Northwest - a group housed at the museum located on the Portland Community College Rock Creek campus. Lommasson’s “What We Carried” project dovetails with his visual and oral history project “Exit Wounds” which recorded the experience of American soldiers returning from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. For the current exhibit, which opens March 15 with an artists’ reception from 5:30 to 8 p.m., Lommasson asked the people he interviewed to write about the significance of their objects on the finished photographs. For more information about the event, visit www.printartsnw.org

Art on Broadway - the charming gallery in downtown Beaverton - will once again feature two shows this month. The first is a member show with the theme of transformations. “March is a month of change – coming in like a lion and going out like a lamb,” explains Donna Sanson, gallery member. “The exhibit includes paintings, sculpture and jewelry that conveys the changeable spirit of this time of year. We invite the viewers to see how their own feelings and thoughts connect with those of our artists.” A guest show that will showcase “Oregon Originals” from artists around the Northwest will also be on display. The public is invited to a free reception to meet the artists at the gallery Saturday, March 10 from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at 12570 SW Broadway Street, Beaverton, Oregon.

They’ve played at a firefighter’s funeral and they’ve played with the Dropkick Murphys. They can be a rather serious band or they can get a little rowdy. No matter what gig they’ve got, Tualatin Valley Fire & Rescue Pipes and Drums will come kilt clad and pipes blowing. This month all seriousness will be set aside as the gang will make three appearances on the Westside for St. Patrick’s Day along with playing a show in Portland. For the band, which formed in 2000 and first started performing a year later, playing St. Patrick’s Day has become an annual tradition. On Saturday March 17, the band will play at Clancy’s Pub and Restaurant in Old Town Sherwood, JB O’Brien’s Pub in Tigard, and Maher’s Irish Brew Pub in Lake Oswego along with the Ambridge Event Center in Portland with the All-Ireland Cultural Society. The members of the pipes and drums are all TVF&R firefighters and public safety officials from around the Portland area. You can tell which agency each player serves with, as they wear the band patch on their left shoulder and an agency patch on their right. At the center of the group is co-founder, long-timer piper, and now retired TVF&R officer Tim Birr. Birr moved from Eugene to the Sherwood area in 1995 and started playing a few ceremonial gigs with TVF&R. Soon after, he began to teach then firefighter Norvin Collins to play the pipes too. From there, Birr and Collins started to play a few funerals,

awards ceremonies, promotions, and graduations. Others in the agency were interested in joining the band, and by 2001 the group had around nine players and started playing more frequently. The band continued to grow. During its peak, there were up to 29 members, all drummers and pipers from various agencies around the Metro area. Since then, the band based in Sherwood has boiled down to a core group of a dozen or so players from around Portland and the Westside. Their claim to fame is four shows they’ve played with the Dropkick Murphys – an Irish-American punk rock band from Massachusetts. TVF&R Pipes and Drums played with the Dropkicks three times in Portland and once back in Boston. Not only has TVF&R Pipes and Drums played across the nation,

this June some members will travel to play the 150th anniversary of the Dublin Fire Brigade in Ireland. Band co-founder Birr learned to play the bagpipes in his teens after seeing a pipe and drum corps from the UK perform in Salem. He was soon taking lessons and joined his first piper band. It was such a passion for Birr, that between he and Collins, they taught most of the bagpipe players in the TV&R band. The bagpipes are not an easy instrument to learn either. Beginners start without the bag at all, playing only the chanter, the part of the bagpipe on which you play the melody. Later, pipers bring in the bag and learn to control their breath and put pressure on the bag. It can take a year of practice playing the pipes before a person is ready to perform.

joint. The burgers - from the ‘55 Chevy Burger to the Cadillac - are made with fresh Northwest grass-fed beef. Fixings include locally-made products like Tillamook Cheese and buns from Dave’s Killer Bread. Even the potatoes used to make the crispy fries were grown at a farm down the road. The potatoes are cleaned, cut, fried in rice oil and served with low-sodium ketchup, a healthier alternative to traditionally greasy spoon fair. You can pair all that goodness with a glass of local wine, a pint of craft micro-brew, or a cup of organic Longbottom Coffee. For the Hummels, the Cruise In is a lot of hard work, but a lot of fun. The couple has long, busy days as they served up some 50,000 burgers in 2011 alone. They hope to make 2012 even better.

Washington County back roads aren’t just a good place to take a drive, they are a good place to stop for a burger and have a beer too. Cozy diner joints are hidden all around the Westside, dotting the winding highways and tucked among the small family farms. While these country eateries are all unique in their charm, there is one that stands out with its classic car decor, healthy menu options, and hardworking owners. It’s the Cruise In Country Diner located at the corner of Farmington and River roads. This “healthy hamburger place” has food that’s not only good, it’s good for you. Every delicious burger - whether served with classic trimmings or topped with bacon and blue cheese - is made with the highest quality local and organic ingredients. This month, owners Terry and Nancy Hummel will celebrate three years of flipping burgers and serving up nutritious locally-sourced foods. The classic car collecting couple bought the old Twin Oaks Tavern in the fall of 2008 and reopened it as a saddle shoe wearing, jukebox inspired, ‘50s drive-in diner in 2009. You can find them cooking there in the kitchen every day the diner is open, Wednesday through Sunday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. The Hummels have not only created a timeless atmosphere at the Cruise In Country Diner, they also serve some of the healthiest food ever cooked up at a burger

Feather toys, Ping Pong balls, toys, lasers and flies flying by can keep her entertained for hours. She'll do best in a home without young children, since she can be a bit rambunctious.

Shakespeare’s R & JGuest director Jennifer Dick has unique

connection to play, B&B

Nearly everybody can remember their first love, and few people can probably forget the first time they saw Romeo and Juliet. This month you will have the chance to see a pithy adaptation of the classic Shakespearean love story, and potentially fall in love all over again. Through March 18, Hillsboro’s Bag&Baggage Theatre Company will present Joe Calarco’s adaptation of the Bard’s tale, Shakespeare’s R&J. The play - set at a Catholic boys’ boarding school - portrays four adolescent school boys who discover a copy of the banned play and begin to read and act it out.

Scottish actress, writer, and director Jennifer Dick joins B&B as a guest director for the production. In

a recent interview, Dick talked about her methodology for developing the staging of the play. “I have a strong directorial vision for the play,” she said, “but I also try not to impose on actors because I started as an actor myself, and I very much want them to have ownership over their process of creating a character.” To bring something unique to B&B’s rendition of the popular adaptation that played off Broadway for a year, Dick has employed a sequence of actor-led choreography to open the show. The movement, she explains, was inspired by the words, actions, and events of a typical school day. This process forced the actors to submerge themselves in character. Dick has a unique connection to this play - she has actually starred in it herself with her home troupe the Glasgow Repertory Company. Only the version in which Dick

played was with an all female cast, instead of an all male one as the script calls for and will be seen in the production by B&B. In addition to this adaptation, Dick also has a unique connection to B&B. She and Scott Palmer, artistic director for Bag&Baggage, helped found the GRC nearly 11 years ago. Bag&Baggage’s production of Shakespeare’s R&J runs through March 18. For tickets and more information, visit www.bagnbaggage.org

Life at Plum Hill Vineyards is never average. In this column, follow the lives of newbie vintners Juanita and RJ Lint who four-years ago converted a 33-acre dairy farm just north of Gaston into a vineyard. Between making the wine, running the tasting room, managing employees, and the adventures of Ghost the winery dog, you’ll see there’s never a dull moment.

Wine and Dogs: Have you ever wondered why you see so many dogs at wineries? They just seem to go together. I’m not sure why, but I think it has something to do with the country environment and casual atmosphere of a winery. Or could it be that wine makers like the company of a dog for the long and cold days in the processing area? Peter Lehman once said, “You can’t make a good wine without a dog.” Occasionally, you will find a winery cat (thank you Oak Knoll), but certainly dogs are the stars or as one of our friends says, “ambassadors.” I’m sure not everyone appreciates a dog, but the majority of people who come to our winery relax instantly when “Ghost”, our yellow Lab, comes out to their car to greet them. We get so many canine visitors; we put in a dog run to accommodate them. This has been a huge attraction and will be even better once we have shade trees. While dogs and wineries go well together, unfortunately, dogs and wine do not. The juice and grapes that go into the wine are very unhealthy for dogs; at least that’s what they tell me. While there is no scientific explanation for this mismatch of consumption and canine health that I know of, it is assumed that it has to do with mycotoxin, a poison that can be generated when a fungal infection attacks grapevines. I am not one to question the scientists, but I personally observed Ghost eat 40 pounds of grapes during the 2010 harvest and after the first night of processing, he eliminated those grapes on our garage floor, with no lasting ill effects. Ghost is a particularly good ambassador for our winery; he is featured in most of our marketing materials and is so loved by our regulars, that he gets treats from at least a half dozen of them. Herecognizes their vehicles and “whines” as they approach the winery. But last week, he particularly earned his keep. We have Date Night on the second Friday of every month where we stay open until 8p.m., with an optional dinner for purchase as well as complimentary snacks, wine tasting and music. It is very difficult to get the customers to leave anywhere near 8p.m. But last Date Night, Ghost was attacked by a skunk at 8:15 and came running through the tasting room rubbing on anything and everything to get away from the smell. The place was cleared out by 8:30. To see how particularly dog friendly the wineries of North Willamette Vintners are, take a look at our Canines Uncorked event held every year at the end of July. Dogs are most welcome and greeted with special treats, events, games and specialties.
