Ronny Cox delivers ‘Stories & Lies’ March 2 Columbia Center for the Arts proudly presents a very special evening with famous actor, writer, singer, song- writer Ronny Cox: Songs, Stories and Out and Out Lies , on Monday, March 2, at 7:30 p.m. A look of fa- miliarity has helped make Cox one of Hol- lywood’s most versatile char- acter actors. His first time in front of a camera fea- tured him play- ing the guitar in the Dueling Banjos scene in “Deliverance,” creating one of the most iconic moments in the history of moviemaking. Despite his great success in movies and TV, what he says he loves most is singing and playing the guitar. According to him, nothing cuts through to the heart like music. The acting experience simply enhances his musical and song-writ- ing skills. He knows a song has to provide a visual and tickle the listener’s imagination as he or she is taken away from everyday troubles to a laugh, a sigh and maybe a tear here and there. Enhancing these great stories is the music provided by Ronny and his band of world-class, virtuoso musicians. Artists such as Radoslav Lorkovic, T Bruce Bowers and John Inmon complete the picture with mandolin, fiddle, accordion, piano, guitars and great voices of their own. “Songs, Stories and Out and Out Lies” is a family show for all. Tickets for this special show are $20 in advance, $15 students and seniors and $25 at the door. Tickets are available online, at Waucoma Bookstore and at Columbia Art Gallery.

Feast of Words benefits Library Foundation March 7 The Hood River County Li- brary Foundation invites you to eat, drink and be merry in the library at the fifth annual Feast of Words, their annual gala fundraiser, on Saturday, March 7, from 6- 9 p.m. The event will include exquisite desserts and sa- vory appetizers, local wine and beer, and live music in the beautiful downtown Hood River Library. This year, the Library Foundation's goal is to raise $25,000 to update the Geor- giana Smith Memorial Gar- dens, which turn ten years old this year. The Gardens are managed by the library district, and they were affect- ed dramatically by the li- brary's closure. Funds raised at the Feast of Words will be used to replant some areas, hire a professional service to care for the plants beds, re- place the irrigation system, and replace some of the worn furniture. There will be many fun events for the whole family at the Feast of Words. People can dance along to live music by Amber and the Pale Ales. Children are welcome, too. Library staff will be on hand with activities for kids down- stairs in the Children's Li- brary. The delectable desserts and savory snacks are being coordinated by the masterful Polly Wood. There will be many great live and silent auction items on which peo- ple can bid, too, including a Solstice Pizza Dinner for 25 at your home, one week's lodging in a charming apart- ment in Oaxaca, Mexico, and fun items from many mer- chants around the county. Or perhaps you'd like to buy a brick so your personal mes- sage is ensconced in the revi- talized Gardens. This event would not be possible without several gen- erous donations, not the least of which are the event sponsors: the Bruce and Mary Stevenson Foundation, Cardinal Glass Industries, Copper West Properties, Duckwall-Pooley Fruit Com- pany, Farm Stand in the Gorge, Riverside at the Hood River Inn, and Rotary Club of Hood River. The Foundation is also very grateful for the beer sponsors, Double Mountain Brewery and Pfriem Family Brewers, and the wine spon- sor, Viento Wines. Thanks also go out to the many indi- viduals and businesses who donated great auction items or contributed their time or resources to the Library Foundation. Tickets are $25 each and are available at any library branch, Waucoma Book- store, Volcanic Bottle Shoppe, or online at h o o d r i v e r l i b r a r y. org/foundation. Tickets may also be bought at the event it- self.

At the request of, and in cooperation with Washing- ton State Department of Transportation and Wash- ington State Patrol, Maryhill Winery & Amphitheater will be taking a one-year hiatus from its summer concert se- ries. In order to improve safety and traffic flow on Highway 14, crews will be installing a secondary entrance/exit at the Maryhill Museum of Art. Unfortunately, the time required to design, engineer, obtain permits and con- struct the new entrance/exit requires that Maryhill sus- pend the concert series for one season. “The winery sincerely ap- preciate your understanding and we are confident that this upgrade will dramati- cally enhance the experi- ence of our concert atten- dees by decreasing bus turn around times and improving traffic safety on Highway 14,” Maryhill Winery said in a press release. The winery will continue to have live music on their popular vine covered terrace every summer weekend, be- ginning Memorial Day through September, from 1-5 p.m. by some of the best per- formers in the Pacific Northwest.

Shows are at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and March 1 at 2 p.m., as well as 7 p.m. March 6 and 7. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for stu- dents. Based loosely upon a local Native American legend, “The Girl Who Lived with the Bears” explores the deep- er issues of respect, diversi- ty, connectedness, and the ef- fects of miss-placed judg- ment. The basic plot entails the story of a young Indian princess, Ayasha, who lacks respect for the surrounding animals, especially the bears. After being “kid- napped” by the local bear tribe for her disrespect, she learns that the bears are not merely “big, smelly, and scary,” but rather “people” like herself. Soon a friend- ship emerg es between Ayasha, Yuma (one of her captors) and the surround- ing animals, leading her to have a change in heart. While a tragic event ensues Ayasha’s return to her vil- lage, the powerful lesson of respect and love for all changes her outlook on life forever. the 51 st annual Pine Grove Fire Dept. auction th • 9 a.m. saturday, March 7 NOW ACCEPTING DONATIONS OR CONSIGNMENTS OF: Appliances, furniture, toys, antiques, collectibles, power tools, hand tools, cars, trucks, boats, motorcycles, bikes, snowmobiles, tractors, trailers, household items, garden tools, lawnmowers, rototillers, equipment of all types.
