Check out the ‘Space’Come see outer space in the new space as the Washington County Museum debuts the Hubble Telescope exhibit in Downtown Hillsboro. Featuring images collected by the space-bound tool since its 1990 launch into orbit, it’s like you’re peering 13.2 billion years into the past through a photograph. Starting November 17, the Washington County

Museum will be open in its expanded downtown location Wednesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 5 p.m. Admission is free to mem-bers, $6 for adults and $4 for children. Children age 3 and under are free. The Hubble exhibit runs through May. www.washingtoncountymuseum.org

There are minerals in your toothpaste. There are miner-als in your electronics. There are minerals in your automo-bile and food. Minerals are an essential element in our lives, although their role might not always be obvious. You can now learn more about minerals, their traits, and the role they play in our lives at the Rice Northwest Museum of Rocks and Minerals. Under the direction of new curator Lara

O’Dwyer Brown, PhD., the new “Mineralogy Room” features a large collection of specimens to explore, plus hands-on opportu-nities to test minerals for hard-ness, lustre, streak, and cleavage. If you find a mineral sample you really like, you’re in luck. The museum also recently introduced the opportunity for individuals to “adopt” a mineral as a sponsor. www.ricenorthwestmuseum.org

Consumer ChemistryAs consumers, we are faced with tough choices every day. Plastic, paper, or reusable tote bags at the grocery store? Dispos-able cups or ceramic mugs for coffee? A Prius or Hummer for commuting to work and family safety? With all the advertising cam-paigns and misinformation out there, how do we really know what’s best for the environment?

David Tyler, PhD. - professor of chemistry at the University of Oregon - will talk about the chemistry of sustainability at OMSI’s Hillsboro Science Pub this month. The event starts at 7 p.m. on Monday November 26 at the Venetian Theatre. There is a $5 suggested donation and minors must be accompanied by an adult. www.omsi.edu

Polyhedroid Agate from Paraiba, Brazil. You can “adopt” this and other minerals at Rice NW Museum of Rocks and Minerals.

Monthly Spotlight

Shining a light on local musical talent, a new monthly event has come to the Westside. The Songwriter Spotlight will take place at 7 p.m. on the first Friday of every month at Insom-nia Coffee Company on Baseline in Hillsboro. The event will feature several Metro-area acoustic performers in 30-minute sets followed by an open microphone session, allowing members of the audience to step up and perform a song of their own. The Songwriter Spotlight in Hillsboro is one of several similar events taking place around the Portland area - all organized by musician Steve Rodin who moved to the Bridge City in 1973 and was impressed with the acoustic scene here. Since then, he’s found many of his favorite old venues have closed or no longer host shows. He was determined to start some new events and get the scene going again. Join host Jerome Yoman and others to enjoy local song writing at its best for free on Novem-ber 2. www.insomniacoffee.co

Le Vent Du NordComing all the way from Quebec, Canadian folk quartet Le Vent Du Nord will entertain audiences this month for Pacific University’s monthly Per-forming Arts Series. The “hurdy-gurdy” band will play at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday November 10 at the Taylor Mead Performing Arts Center in Forest Grove. Tickets are $22. www.pacificu.edu

ISingBringsLight

Scandinavian festivals of light are celebrated at the darkest time of the year, the winter solstice. This year the ISing Choir will bring some of that light to the Westside for the first in what will surely be several stunning concerts this season. Performances - led by conductor and choir artistic director Stephen Galván - will be held at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 30 and Dec. 1 and 3 p.m. on Dec. 2 at the Bethel Congregational United Church of Christ in Beaver-ton. Shows are free to attend, donations are accepted. This season, all monies collected will go to benefit the charity, My Voice Music. www.isingchoir.org

HistoricalBlues Jam

What better way to learn about the history of the blues than through a blues song? This month Jason Thomas, Blues in the Schools director for the Cas-cade Blues Association, will present a musical program on the history of the blues at the Beaverton Historical Society. Thomas, an accomplished musi-cian, has taken his program to more than 40 Metro area schools with the goal of educating students about the evolution of American music and the significance of the blues genre. Play-ing a bright yellow Fender Strato-caster, Thomas is able to capture the attention and imaginations of those for whom he performs. It’s musical storytelling at its best. This month he will bring that program to Beaverton, adapting it for an adult audience while still show-casing the type of work he does in the schools. For Thomas, the blues is an “hon-est” form of music, and he says all American musical roads eventually lead back to the blues. Catch the show from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 13 at the Beaverton History Center on Broad-way Street. The presentation is free. www.historicbeaverton.org

Influence Music Hall to host November shows

Almost one year ago, a secret so-ciety of singer songwriters formed in California. The group included some of the country’s most renowned songwriters, some of whose ballads have been made famous by the likes of Eddie Money, Cyndi Lauper, and Emmy Lou Harris. Every month, the group meets to eat a meal and perform their latest songs for one another. At each event, the group issues a songwriting chal-lenge to its members, coming up with themes or caveats for the next round of writing and performing. Whether the challenge is to write a love song without using the word love or to write a song about fear or a phone number, group members have to rise to the challenge. Now these accomplished songwrit-ers - composed of Los Angeles-based musicians Marty Axelrod, Severin Browne, Jeff Kossack, John Stowers, Ed Tree, and Jimmy Yessian - are taking their latest creations on tour around the West Coast, with a stop planned for Hillsboro. Calling themselves The Tall Men Group (as all of them are more than

six feet tall), you can hear the results of their latest songwriting efforts at 7 p.m. on November 10 at the Influence Music Hall. The event is free but there is a suggested donation of $10 to $15. While the The Tall Men Group is sure to entertain, they won’t be the only ones whose songs will be echoing off the walls at the backroom venue in Downtown Hillsboro this month. In addition to the weekly open mic sessions held on Fridays at 7 p.m. (open to all musicians, who get a 15 minute set) Influence is also planning to celebrate the end of election season and last of the political frenzy that leads up to it. “The Election’s Over Party” will start at 7 p.m. on November 7 at the Influence Music Hall. There is a sug-gested $12 donation for attendees. The event will feature Americana/folk rock singer-songwriters Bill and Muriah Mallonee. Influence Music Hall is run by the non-profit group Tualatin Valley Artists. With a capacity of only 49 at the hall - every show at Influence is an intimate experience. www.tvartists.org

Music in Small Spaces

You don’t need a giant audito-rium to enjoy a concert. In fact, sometimes the smaller the space, the better. So is the case with the Music in Small Spaces program which offers an “intimate chamber music experience” for people on the Westside. This month, the program will host lute player Ronn Mc-Farlane in a solo concert at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday November 4 in the Beaverton Library Audito-rium. McFarlane is well-known to

fans of “Early Music” and fans of the lute. He joined the Balti-more Consort (an Early Music ensemble) in 1979 and has toured extensively with them in Europe, Canada and around the United States. Currently he has over 25 recordings on the Dorian label, and is composing more contemporary sounding pieces. The intimacy of the Library Auditorium is a perfect setting for this solo instrument. Tickets are $9. www.musicinsmallspaces.org,

The Modern Mosaic

The ancient form of mosaic art of can be traced all the way back to the temples of Mesopotamia, but roots of the modern form are tied more closely to Greek and Roman architecture and civilization. Mosaic - the art of creat-ing images with small pieces of ceramic tiles, colored glass, stone, and other materials - has come a long way since then, with modern artists around the world adding their own twists and still keeping the traditional art form alive.

Westsiders and the mosaicly-inclined can learn more about this historic art form and its contemporary counterparts in a presenta-tion at Sequoia Gallery + Studios this month. Seattle-based anthropolo-gist and artist Jo Braun will present Ravenna Mosaico 2011: The State of Contem-porary Fine Art Mosaic from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday November 1 at the gallery in Downtown Hillsboro. The cost is $10. Refreshments will be served. www.sequoiagallerystudios.org

A New Directionfor North Plains

Washington County’s newest winery and tasting room just opened in North Plains. Abbey Creek Vineyards will now make its estate-grown grapes into wine at the site on Commercial Street, offering tastes of wines from its small but growing portfolio at the location as well. With the expansion to the new site, Bertony Faustin - Abbey Creek winemaker - hopes to be able to nearly double the label’s current output of about 700 cases of wine a year. The new winery and tasting room is just ten miles away from the Germantown Road-based vineyard where grapes have been grown since 1984. Prior to the Abbey Creek label being born in 2006, fruit from the estate was sold to other wine-makers around the Northwest. Throughout the year, the Abbey Creek tasting room will be open on Saturdays from 12 to 5 p.m. For Thanksgiving Weekend, the tasting room will be open from 12 to 5 p.m. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of the holiday weekend. The opening of the winery and tasting room adds another new business to the North Plains Commer-cial Street scene. In the last year, downtown North Plains has seen the addition of a floral and event plan-ning shop, along with an antique mall. Plus, its second season of Saturday farmers markets just wrapped up in September. All these signs are indicating a revital-ization of the historic little town. According to Faustin, the historic North Plains charm spells economic potential. “I love the North Plains feel,” he said, optimistically predicting that the town of around 2,000 could go the way of Carlton. It may soon be even easier to get to North Plains too with The Oregon Department of Transportation’s five-stage $34 million renovation of the Glencoe Road Interchange (scheduled for completion in 2014). This could mean quick on and off the highway access for locals and Portlanders heading to the coast and stop-ping for gas, food, and wine tasting. But while North Plains may be transforming its downtown and attracting new business, a growing number of residents are concerned about odors from Nature’s Needs - the commercial food compost facility located just outside city limits. Since it started taking food waste in addition to green debris in 2010, the number of complaints from residents and visitors about foul odors from the plant have been increas-ing, with at least 280 odor complaints registered in September 2012. Washington County Commissioners are expected to review in November the permitted uses at Nature’s Needs, determining whether the company can con-tinue to process what is called “non-green feedstock.” North Plains community activists with the orga-nization Stop The Stink say if the smells continue, it could kill the economic vitality of North Plains. So while the downtown continues to attract busi-ness, whatever the county commissioners decide could dramatically impact life in the small town.

A new winery and tasting room brings more life to the bucolic town, but while business is booming, some

residents fear a lingering stench.

A David Hill Holiday Before you head out for the annual Thanksgiving Wine Tasting Weekend, you’ll need to think about the wines you will serve at your own table for your home-cooked feast on Thanksgiving Day. For turkey day and any day, Washing-ton County wineries provide some of the best vino the Willamette Valley has to offer, including award-winning Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Plus you can’t forget to enjoy the amazing local dessert and sparkling wines on this traditional holiday. We recently visited David Hill Vineyard & Winery, a historical landmark in Washington County, Oregon, with a tasting room nestled inside an 1883 farm-house that boasts sweeping views of Oregon’s coast range. This picturesque place is a perfect backdrop to sip some award-winning wines. Their 45 -acre vineyard is home to some of the oldest Pinot Noir vines in the Willamette Valley (planted in 1965), and they also grow Riesling, Pinot Gris, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Blanc, Sylvaner and Semillon. Now onto the pairings.

Appetizers: Pair appetizers of Bleu Cheese or other strong, salty cheeses and rustic breads with David Hill, Sweet Simplicity, 2009 - a blend of Semillon, Syl-vaner and Pinot Gris. For creamier Brie cheese plates, go with David Hill, Estate Reserve Chardonnay, 2009 - a soft wine with tropical aromas and a creamy finish.

Main Course: For your main course, whether Turkey or Ham and all the traditional trimmings like mashed potatoes and stuffing with gravy, pair with a smooth pinor noir, like David Hill, Estate Pinot Noir, 2009 or David Hill, Black-Jack Pinot Noir, 2009.

Dessert: The best David Hill wines to go with any dessert - traditional pumpkin pie, pecan pie, or simply a dish of vanilla ice cream, are David Hill Estate Muscat Port, 2007 or David Hill Estate Vintage Pinot Noir Port, 2006.

Enjoy your holiday!Pairings and information compiled by: Doug & Dawn SellersPrimrose & Tumbleweeds, LLC, The World’s Largest Selection of Oregon Wines, 248 E. Main Street, Hillsboro, Oregon www.PrimroseAndTumbleweeds.com

Holiday BazaarNothing that Peggy McCuen makes is priced at more than $20. Not the hand-sewn reversible aprons with ruffle trim (or without ruffles for men). Not the quilted baby blankets and carefully crafted bibs. Nor the girls’ dresses made with original patterns and colorful fabric. You won’t find more than a $20 price tag on any of these high-quality, handmade items. McCuen, a 74-year old Helvetia resi-dent and North Plains native, makes all of these darling dresses and things on a classic sewing machine at her farm home where she lives with her husband, Bob. For the last decade or more she’s sold her wares at several local Christmas Bazaars on the Westside, including the annual Christmas Marketplace Bazaar at Cornell Estates.

The Cornell Estates bazaar - which will be held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Satur-day November 17 at the facility located off Cornell Road and 17th Avenue in Hillsboro - isn’t just another holiday hap-pening. This bazaar - which features more than 30 local artists and crafters - goes to benefit the Hillsboro Toy & Joy Program, an effort to provide toy and food baskets to more than 400 families in need around the Hillsboro area. Cornell partners with the Hillsboro Fire Department and other organizations such as the Hillsboro Elk Lodge to raise funds to buy food and gifts for the baskets that are then assembled and distributed to local children and parents. This year, along with McCuen’s fantas-tically crafted wares, the jewelry of Rena Snyder will also be available to browse.

Synder - who goes by the design label of Rena’s Originals - will be at the Cornell Estates 12th Annual Bazaar for the first time this year, selling stylish and colorful items made from beads and semi-precious stones like pearls, onyx, and jasper. Snyder hand-makes all her original de-signs which can be dressed up or dressed down for any occasion. The 12th Annual Cornell Estates Christmas Marketplace Bazaar is open and free to the public. In addition to handmade items available for purchase, visitors can enjoy live music with harp-ist Jenny Linder. Frosty, Mrs. Claus, and Carolers will also be on hand for photo-graphs and entertainment. Guests can also purchase homemade soups, chili, salads and more from Cornell’s kitchen.For more information, visit www.cornell-estates.com

Westside Literary Vaults

When the fall rains drive you indoors, take the time to explore these locally-owned bookstores

The rainy fall season is the perfect time to go underground and explore the deep cavernous aisles found in local bookstores across the Westside. These libraries of wit, rhetoric, and alle-gory offer thousands of titles, styles, and genres to choose from, whether classic or contemporary, fact or fiction. Each of these unique peddlers of pages has its own specialty niche and classic bookish accessories. Depending on what you’re looking for, you’ll find local lore from Westside authors, antique volumes from estate sales, stories of lust and romance, and the hottest titles from the New York Times bestseller list in hardback. There’s more to these local bookstores than just literature. There’s events - from author signings to book releases. There’s also tutoring, topical lectures, coffee, chocolate, handmade cards, and more.
