Trio Deloria (Andrew Ehrlich, Yankl Falk, and Ethan Chessin) presents an exciting program of Klezmer and Yiddish song, Romanian and Hungarian fiddle virtuosity, devotional Hasidic melody, and much more. Although the trio’s name is new, they have been performing together for over 20 years under other names (including a previous visit to Astoria in 2014). Their deep friendship is reflected in their energetic musical collaborations. Trio Deloria is grateful to the Larsen Center for this opportunity to return to Astoria with an exciting new program.
For more than 40 years, Jack “Yankl” Falk (vocals/clarinet) has been at the center of Yiddish cultural life in Portland and beyond. His repertoire and performance reflects his long involvement with Hungary’s premier Yiddish ensemble, Di Naye Kapelye, with whom he recorded three acclaimed CDs of Carpathian Jewish roots music and performed at festivals across Europe.
Yankl leads the Portland-based klezmer/groove quintet The Carpathian-Pacific Express, which features some of Portland’s leading musicians. His other collaborations have included work with Don Byron’s Music of Mickey Katz, Polka Madre (Mexico City), Di Fidl- Kapelye (Amsterdam), Yale Strom, the Tone Sharks, accordionist Christina Crowder, and cellist Lori Goldston. For more than 30 years, Yankl produced and hosted the Sunday morning Yiddish Hour on Portland radio. A traditional singer of Jewish liturgy, Yankl was featured in a 2013 New York Times article about itinerant High Holiday cantors.
Andrew Ehrlich (violin) is a longtime klezmer and co-founder of his own band, Hora Tzigane, with Martin Morgenbesser. He also performs as a member of the Carpathian- Pacific Express and is the leader of Dr. Ehrlich and the Magic Bullets.

He is a former member of the group “fEAR no MUSIC” and continues to play chamber music in recital. Andrew recently premiered the violin concerto “Prayers and Dances” by Jason Heald based on Jewish themes. He is on the faculty of the Community Music Center in Portland, where he teaches violin and conducts the Adult String Orchestra.
Ethan Chessin (trombone/piano/accordion/voice) teaches choir, songwriting, and music production at Camas High School. Over the last twelve years, his students have premiered over one hundred new pieces of music, written by students and alumni as well as nationally renowned musicians.

The Man, Stanley Jordan, Y La Bamba, Girls In Trouble, AU, Michael Allen Harrison, Bright Moments, Kingdom Sound, Trio Tsuica, Carpathian-Pacific Express, and many others.

Measure 110 Update
House Bill 4002, the proposal by Democratic leaders to “fix” Measure 110, is simply not enough on its own to solve the drug crisis. We need real accountability and rehabilitation for drug users.
That’s why I proposed a comprehensive plan last week to ensure House Bill 4002 has the teeth needed to get hard drug users the treatment they need. Penalties for drug traffickers are also critically important.
I remain committed to working with my colleagues every day to ensure we get the results Oregonians deserve. You can read my full press release on the comprehensive plan below.
Here is a link to his plan:
www.oregonlegislature.gov/mannix/PressReleases/Mannix
Plan for Special Drug Misdemeanor, Statutory Overhaul of M110.pdf
Perhaps this will work; I noticed that there is a lot of noise about treatment – after all drug addiction is a medical problem. Locking up a person for addiction is ridiculous I certainly am for treatment. But is the addict? Usually not! But let me mention – The addicts may get treatment but the crime victim gets nothing. When the addict commits a crime – (not too much noise about the crime) the crime also needs to be addressed in the criminal justice system also.
Perhaps this plan will work, we have to get crime off the street.

Nehalem Bay Health District Selects Bremik Construction for New Health Center Project
(Wheeler) – Following a competitive process the Nehalem Bay Health District has selected Bremik Construction, an Oregon firm with extensive health care and coastal construction experience, as Construction Manager/General Contractor for the new Nehalem Bay Health Center and Pharmacy project.
Bremik won the engagement with the Health District by demonstrating successful construction management of similar health care facilities and by proposing the most cost-effective approach.
Bremik, founded in 2004, recently worked with the District’s architecture team – Scott Edwards Architects – on a medical office building in Hood River and the Virginia Garcia Memorial Health Center in Newberg. Bremik has also done extensive work for Providence Health & Services and Kaiser Permanente. Bremik has also worked with the Health District’s owner’s representative, Klosh Group, on a variety of projects.
Bremik’s coastal construction experience includes work on the Cannon Beach Elementary School, a motel to housing conversion in Seaside and the Columbia River Maritime Museum in Astoria.
Bremik principal and partner Tygh Colton is serving as the preconstruction manager of the Health Center project. Susan Odeh Brandt is the project manager and Kevin McMurray will be the project superintendent once construction begins. The combined Bremik team has more than 75 years of construction experience.
Bremik has also won industry and union recognition for its apprentice programs that have involved thousands of hours of training and work by female carpenters. Bremik has an extensive record of working with small and minority owned businesses and subcontractors and has embraced the District’s expectation that north coast subcontractors will be involved in the project.
“It is an important milestone in this transformative project to have the Bremik firm and a complete team onboard,” said Health District president Marc C. Johnson. “We know that the coastal environment, as well as a very detailed and complicated health care construction project present challenges and we are fortunate to have a team with deep experience to bring this project to competition in a timely and cost-effective manner.”
“The project aligns with Bremik’s mission to build projects that benefit the local community,” said Bremik’s Tygh Colton. “It is an honor to be working with the Nehalem Bay Health District and Scott Edwards Architecture to deliver this project to serve the Nehalem Bay region.”
Johnson expressed thanks on behalf of the Health District board to community members Lloyd Lindley, a retired landscape architect, and Brad Berman, an experienced construction project professional, for their assistance in evaluating construction manager/general contractor qualifications and approaches.
Scott Edwards, the District’s architect, is currently working on detailed construction drawings for the new 16,000 square foot Health Center and Pharmacy. The District and its design and construction team expect to submit permit applications to Tillamook County in the late April timeframe with a summer target date to commence construction.
The city of Wheeler conditionally approved the design of the new facility in December, including signing off on parking and heights requirements. The city asked for additional detail on landscaping plans and stormwater drainage, issues that will be addressed during the current phase of architecture work.
The new Health Center and Pharmacy, located at US Highway 101 and Hospital Road in Wheeler, will nearly triple the size of the existing Health Center in Wheeler (the former Rinehart Clinic), including a larger, modern pharmacy, a dental suite and exam rooms to accommodate current patients and future growth.

CRIMES OF THE HEART:
This darkly comedic play by Beth Henley delves into the messy lives of the Magrath women, each grappling with their own “crimes of the heart.”
Under a searing Mississippi sun, the Magrath sisters’ fragile lives shatter when Babe, the youngest, shoots her philandering husband.
Summoned home, the eldest, Lenny, wrestles with small-town stagnation and dreams of escape.
Meg, the middle sister, a washed-up singer, drowns her past in whiskey, returning with secrets clinging to her like Spanish moss.
As Babe’s legal storm brews, the kitchen of their childhood home becomes a pressure cooker of buried memories and blistering truths.
Past resentments erupt, revealing the scars of their mother’s suicide and their father’s desertion.
Their eccentric cousin Chick stirs the pot, while their flamboyant lawyer Barnette offers shaky legal support and a dash of unexpected romance.
This Pulitzer Prize-winning play paints a bittersweet portrait of Southern women struggling to rise above their “crimes of the heart” and embrace the promise of a brighter future.

Getting any details on this matter to date has been met with strong resistance by City officials. It took a public records request by the Headlight Herald for the City to finally release the original $139,043 investigation costs. Despite repeated citizen requests for information on what misbehavior took place, the City has finally settled on the official response that this is a record that is protected by attorney-client privilege and citizens will not be told anything. As for the Mayor herself, she not only will not be told what the accusations were by the “anonymous employee” which turns out to allegedly be the City Manager, she will not be able to obtain a copy of the investigation.
Think about that for a moment. Mayor Simmons was put into office with the largest number of votes in City history. Within 5 months of taking office and attempting to learn her new responsibilities as a public official, an investigation by a Portland law firm is initiated based on unknown accusations allegedly by the City Manager and the City’s position is that this is none of our business.
The ongoing investigation by the Oregonian and other media interests into sexual harassment allegations involving Nike managers demonstrate the legal posturing utilized to keep the public in the dark when those in power seek to avoid public scrutiny. Nike first hired a law firm to investigate the sexual harassment claims by employees and initially refused to release the investigation findings arguing it was protected by attorney-client privilege. A media coalition successfully argued that the public’s interest in the matter was paramount and thousands of pages of documents were subsequently released.
When Nike refused to release additional records containing the redaction of specific executive’s names who were accused of sexual harassment on the grounds that such release would only “embarrass and shame” those individuals, Nike again lost that argument.
Is there any citizen who has been following this story who believes that the expenditure of $147,738 of public funds to investigate these unknown accusations of Mayor Simmons would be of no public interest? Is there a lesson here for our Council based upon Nike’s Board of Directors failed attempts to bury the tawdry details of what takes place out of public view in their corporate world?
Fortunately, in cases like this the Tillamook County District Attorney will now have the opportunity to evaluate just what records City officials will be permitted to withhold from citizens. The DA will evaluate if the public interest involving the material facts of this complaint and how our elected and appointed City officials conducted themselves in this matter outweighs the City’s need to preserve confidentially and continue to deny the records release.
If you believe that the public interest is best served through transparent disclosure of our elected and appointed City’s official’s actions, consider respectfully sharing your thoughts with an email or letter to our District Attorney to have this investigation report released for public review.

Governor Brown released many convicted persons early. After being released one criminal killed 4 people. Governor Brown granted early release to 10 convicted murderers without notifying families of the victims of this fact. She also granted early release to 975 convicted felons. (in California. a now “trashed” state – they did the same thing) Keep criminals where they belong – which is on the street – I guess.
Governor Tina Kotek would expand the “earned discharged program,” which now lets people on probation, people who have served sentences in local jails and people whose prison sentences began on or after Jan. 1, 2022, reduce their supervision by up to half if they meet their goals.!!
So I assume that this “works”? It reduces crime? But Gov Tina Kotek says we need to have our homes taxed because we need to fund “public safety” because crimes are becoming so out of control. Public Safety is under siege.
So which is it? Too much crime or not?
Gov. Kotek says, after implementing Democratic measures to reduce crime (measure 110), that we have too much crime.
Because everyone in Oregon knows by now that measure 110 was disastrous because it increased crime and deaths by addiction. Another measure is looking to fix this but the criminals will still on be the street and the FIX won’t be a FIX. But taxes from marijuana sales will still flow into the capitol. SHHHHh – thats the most important thing!
So this new measure will keep people quiet maybe for about 6 months.

I have used this for alterations and art projects. It’s been in a shed that I use for a studio. I don’t have the space and want a smaller machine. It works great. She has a few minor rust spots-see in photos. I have kept a cover on it. It will need a new belt. They are easy to find online.
