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.

The Oregon Music Teachers held a special Honors recital at
Riverside Community Church on Feb. 15, celebrating the
music of the Baroque period. Participants were students who
were chosen from the Umatilla-Morrow and Mid-Columbia
district Junior Bach festivals, which were held earlier in the
month. Local teachers represented were Susan Ticknor,
Kathy Apland and Diana Beterbide. In addition to the piano,
a harpsichord, a virginal harpsichord and the pipe organ
were available for the musicians to play their pieces on.
‘Girl Who Lived with
Bears’ starts Feb. 27
The musical “The Girl
Who Lived With The Bears”
opens this weekend at Hood
River Middle School.
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.
