Blues, Brews and
Barbeques
Even if there’s a raging
windstorm outside, the atmo-
sphere will be tranquil inside
the community hall Sunday
from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. during
the festival’s new event,
Blues, Brews and Barbeques.
Three Stormy Weather beers,
designed especially by Peli-

brew pubs, will be paired
with pulled pork and egg-
plant sliders prepared by chef
John Sowa. Steve Chesebor-
ough will play the blues.

luncheon,” Carrier said. “We
thought people might want to
stay an extra day in town or
spend more time on Sunday
and take a leisurely trip home
in the afternoon.”

Twelve local galleries
and some shops are plan-
ning a whirlwind of activity
with artists’ demonstrations,
receptions and music

lin licks by Aden Beck, and
creative, thumping bass lines
by Taylor Skiles. Duluth,

Scientists to discuss ‘Columbia
Under the Microscope’ Nov. 10
ASTORIA — Environmental
advocacy group Columbia
Riverkeeper will host three
local scientists for “Colum-
bia Under the Microscope,”
a presentation about research
on pollutants in the Colum-
bia River.
The event will take place
from 5:30 to 8 p.m. Thurs-
day, Nov. 10 at the Blue
Scorcher Bakery & Cafe, lo-
cated at 1493 Duane St. The
event is free and open to all
ages, with food and drinks
available for purchase.
The informal talk will
cover Contaminants of
Emerging Concern, or
CECs, which are produced
industrially yet are dis-
persed to the environment
from domestic, commercial
and industrial uses, such as
through pharmaceuticals and
personal care products.
Speakers will include:
• Elena Nilsen, a research
chemist and team lead at the
U.S. Geological Survey. She
will speak about the impacts
of industrial-, agricultural-
and household-sourced con-
taminants on food webs and
fish in the Columbia River.
• Jennifer Morace, a
hydrologist at the U.S.
Geological Survey. Her
work includes the evaluation
of water-quality conditions
in the Willamette River and
Columbia River basins, par-
ticularly focused on contam-
inants. Understanding the
transport and ecological fate
of contaminants and the role
that we, as a society, play in
protecting water quality are
of particular interest to her.
• Tawnya Peterson, an
assistant professor at Oregon
Health & Science Univer-
sity’s Institute of Environ-
mental Health in the division
of environmental and
biomolecular systems. Her
interests include biological
oceanography and the ecol-
ogy and physiology of phy-
toplankton and harmful algal
blooms. She will discuss her
studies of pharmaceuticals in
the waterways.
