Pacific Crest Middle SchoolThe Beaver Den - Beaver Book Club
Each month, this group chooses a published research paper about beavers to read, analyze, and discuss.

In a study released this year, researchers combined field surveys with water temperature measurements to rank habitat quality at seven beaver-impounded ponds and seven control ponds in the Portland area. The discussion explores whether summer water temperatures are cooler in beaver ponds and whether turtles gain advantages from habitats influenced by beavers. The focal paper is a Journal of Wildlife Management article by R. N. Krige, L. Guderyahn, K. Holzer, and C. D. Rivera on beaver effects on habitat availability for two native turtle species, article e70196.

Paper Spirals: The Art of Quilling
Discover the playful craft of paper quilling in a hands-on session at Freak'n Art, where thin strips of paper are rolled, shaped, and arranged to form intricate, dimensional designs. Designed for kids ages 8 and up, the class introduces the slotted quilling tool and how to make tight coils and loose scrolls. Participants practice pinching and pressing coils into teardrops, hearts, diamonds, and marquise shapes, then compose their colorful pieces on cardstock to create 3D flowers, swirling initials, or tiny paper animals. Along the way, the project encourages fine motor skills, patience, and attention to detail. Everyone leaves with a framed quilled artwork or a set of custom three-dimensional greeting cards. No prior experience is needed, since if you can roll a strip of paper, you can start quilling. The workshop celebrates a centuries-old technique with a fresh, vibrant Freak'n Art twist.

Hayden Homes AmphitheaterHorse Feathers & Guests
Horse Feathers marks twenty years of Words Are Dead with an evening that brings the album’s origins back into focus. Kill Rock Stars is preparing a fully remastered edition on a special colored vinyl, packaged with a reproduction of the original six track demo CD and a foil stamped LP jacket. The music at the heart of this gathering looks to the debut for its compass, offering a chance to hear where it began while acknowledging how far it has traveled. The current ensemble features Justin Ringle on guitar, vocals, and banjo, Nathan Crockett on violin and saw, Halli Anderson of River Whyless on violin and vocals, Kati Claborn of Blind Pilot on banjo, vocals, and clarinet, and Luke Ydstie, also of Blind Pilot, on bass, cello, and vocals. With guests, they shape focused dynamics and nuanced arrangements that capture the debut’s intimacy without locking it in place. Across albums like House With No Home, Thistled Spring, Cynic’s New Year, and Appreciation, the group widened its sound while keeping the quiet center of Justin Ringle’s songwriting, which prizes clarity of feeling over flash. This occasion reflects that continuity. It feels more like a continuation than a retrospective, a reminder that some albums seem timeless and wait for the right moment to resonate anew.
