The
Shado 9
knows...
By PHIL WALD STEIN
Where would you expect to find
the largest photography gallery on
the West Coast? At a university?
At least in a museum, rtght? Well,
how about upstairs from a store
front camera store in Oregon City.
An unlikely location, but there on
the top level of Mr. Pix's Camera
Store. 621 Main St., is TheShado'
Gallery with 250 prints displayed
in five carpeted interconnected
rooms.
Special lighting and climate
control complements the exhibits

Photographs by Goodwin W. Harding are among those currently
showing at the Shado' Gallery —the West Coast's biggest.
and soft music accompanies
people as they tour the works of
fine accomplished photographers
each month.
This month, through Tuesday,
you can see photographs by Blain
Covert, Judy Dater, Gerald Green
field, Goodwin Harding and
Edmund Teske. All prints are for
sale unless marked otherwise.
Covert is a student at Portland
State University. His studies of a
ballet school are priced at $20

woman photographer, has had
displays in museums across the
country and is featured in the
Time-Life book series.
Greenfield's work is selling at $45
each. He is from Boston, studied
with Aaron Siskind and recently
had a show at the Art Museum
here.
Harding worked with Minor
White and is a graduate of MIT
and Harvard. His striking still lifes
are in color.
Teske was an assistant to Frank
Lloyd Wright before devoting his
efforts exclusively to
photography. He is currently in
Los Angeles and is opening a
show at the museum there next
week. Teske's work ranges in
price from $190 to $290.
The gallery is free and open to
the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.,
Monday through Saturday.
An old-fashioned fiddler, a beer garden,
a greased pig, some hanging, dying,
Hollywood style, of course, a pole-climbing
and corn-on-the-cob eating contests and
other community fun, all at the
Coburg Golden Years Gay Nineties Revue
The Coburg Golden Years
Nineties Revue won't have
amusement rides, rigged games
or win-the-stuffed-animal coin
tosses. It will have, however, a

delightful assortment of great old
time activities and a lot of spirit.
The small, but community-wide
celebration begins its four-day run
tomorrow in the middle of
downtown Coburg. The first
official happening is the opening
of the beer garden at 3:30 p.m. (It
opens at 3:30 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m.
Saturday and noon on Sunday, in
case you're curious.) The next
item of particular import is the
selection of not one, but three
queens: a senior citizen queen, a
pioneer queen and a Golden Years
Queen. Of these, only the last is a
youthful beauty contest; the
others are based on merit. At 9
p.m. tomorrow a horde of suf
fragettes invades the beer garden.
At 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday
anyone so wishing may sign up at
the Information booth and enter
the greased pole climb. The
person who manages to reach the
top of the Vaseline-slathered pole
gets to keep the money on top of
the pole. Simple, huh? Just as the
person who catches the Vaseline
greased pig (3 p.m. on Friday)
wins a prize, too. Challenge
thyself.
Or gorge thyself. The corn-on
the-cob-eating contest starts at
noon on Saturday.
Other featured activities and
guests include Pop Powers, old
fashioned fiddler, at 1 p.m. on
Sunday; Henry Isaac, the in
famous quick draw artist from
Cottage Grove, proving his talent
from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday; the
Emerald City Outlaws, who will
"just be around" and demon
strating Hollywood techniques
(use of blanks, hanging and
dying) all day Saturday and
Sunday; the Tolleson Brothers,
square dance callers, calling the
shots at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, and
local talents Gayle Williams and
Nancy Hill who perform Middle
Eastern folk dances at 11 p.m.
Friday at the Queen's Ball and at 9
p.m. Saturday night in the beer
garden.
In addition, a quick-draw
challenge will determine the new
King of Coburg. Irvin Gustafson,
the defending title holder, won
the crown last year in a boxing
tournament.
It should be a lot of fun. In
cidentally, the purpose of the
affair is not a selfish one, to
benefit local merchants, but is to
raise money to build a community
center in Coburg. Coordinator
Barbara Williams sums up the
positive goal of the Golden Years
festival as being "unity within the
community."
