Actually, it was more of a proto-stalker thing; maybe in their underwear. If this is a pre even not so much of a stalker as someone who doesn’t understand the context of get the hell out of my house as it relates to leav ing without having to de part under bet ter circum stances. It be gan innocently enough. She showed up un arranged event in your relation ship, substitute the Slurpee for a nice Chardonnay and invest in one of them digital cameras. Marvin Baker Guest Columnist I ELISABETH MEYER Staff Writer Just minutes before opening “Baltics and Beyond”, Choir Director Lonnie Cline set the tone for Saturday’s concert by offering the combined choirs some advice: try to convey the feeling of being in another culture, he said. Cline’s suggestion was particularly apt since the focus of the Saturday lands. The four-part program incorpo rated Clackamas’ Chamber Choir, Cho invited, as this person is apt to do on any given night, and decided to take a nap on my couch. Unfor tunately, there wasn’t enough room for both of us, and since I wasn’t expecting company, I was a little upset. This girl honestly didn’t seem to think I’d mind. That’s scary. I know we covered body language; but I’m afraid we may need to touch upon a few more-adVahced techniques in identifying what is and isn’t healthy relationship be havior. Spring Break is coming. A lot of you are going to do things For the more intellectually chal lenged, I have two words: caller ID. I have a female friend who kept getting hang-up calls from this smitten puppy who didn’t seem to realize he had handed her his name and phone number. Obsession and intelligence would not seem to be good bedfellows; ‘ Speaking of the phone, some of the most aggregious violations arise from its easy abuse factor. Two, maybe three calls in a week is probably okay, but depending on the person, three may be push ing it. Two, three calls an hour is 15, 2OÒ2 'Baltics' brings a tasteof culture to Clackamas night concert was on music from other ■ M arc I h rale, and Mainstream Jazz choir. The first part of the program capital ized on the choirs’ rapport with Esto nia. Over the years, Cline and students have visited the tiny nation, which is famous for its choral tradition, and have made Estonian music an institution at Clackamas. In late February, the Cho rale and Chamber Choir sang at an Es tonian independence day celebration, and Saturday was another chance to showcase their considerable reper toire. Estonian folk songs included “Sind Surmani,” “Viru Lauliku Motted,” “Meil Aiaaame Tanaval” and “Kui Mina Alles.” The Chorale men, joined by Cline, sang a slightly less well known Estonian tune: “Saku,” a tribute to a popular brand of beer. “Most of the Estonians (in the dance troupe) have probably never heard it,” said Cline. “I think they ’ 11 get a kick out of it” The Portland Estonian Dancers performed many different folk dances, including a stick dance, a belt dance, and pipe dance. The group is now comprised of the chil dren of Estonian refugees who founded it, and their children are now dancing,'too. From Estonia, the choirs branched out into neighboring countries and then tied in other international pieces. The Chorale performed the Latvian folk song “Put, Vejini,” a Hungarian tune called “In My Youth” and three German songs, including the lullaby “Gute Nacht.” The men of the Chorale sang a Ger man selection that translated aS" “Oh, These Women,” and the Cho rale women responded with the tra ditional American song “Reuben Reuben.” The Chamber Choir per formed “Finlandia” in Estonian, showing the traditional bond be tween the two nations. The last section of the program was a Sept 11 memorial. The Chamber Choir performed “Quare” and “Ave Maria.” About 70 people attended the concert, which cost $6 for adults and $3 for students and seniors.
