Lewis and Clark Elementary School’s field day celebration.
Kids have a rainy fi eld day
By EDWARD
STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
School d istrict offi cials
said the opening of the Asto-
ria Sports Complex would
help prevent rainouts.
So a rainy Friday didn’t
stop students from Lewis
and
Clark
Elementary
School from taking to C M H
Field for an end-of-the-year
celebration.
Students played games
on the wet artifi cial turf and
were treated to a concert by
world chamber music ensem-
ble 3 Leg Torso. Serenading
the crowd in front of the band
was Lewis and Clark student
Minntah Haefker, who turned
10 today. Haefker’s uncle,
Béla Balogh, a violinist with
the group, said the band was
asked to perform for the stu-
dents by his brother. Haefker
has been singing on and off
with the group since she was
6, and belted out such classics
as Fats Waller’s “Ain’t Mis-
behavin’” and Vera Lynn’s
“Lili Marlene.”
Haefker, who has been
singing since she was 3, said
she gets her inspiration from
The Beatles, old and new pop
songs and from looking in the
mirror.
She and 3 Leg Torso will
perform again June 22 at the
Astoria Music Festival.

outlined state transportation
needs and involved a similar

The difference between
