A rescue swimmer descends from a U.S. Coast Guard helicopter. – SUBMITTED PHOTO
Cannon Beach Library Coast Guard commander to recount rescue CANNON BEACH — Seventyfoot waves batter a tattered life raft 250 miles out to sea in one of the world's most dangerous places, the Gulf Stream. Hanging onto the raft are three men – a Canadian, a Brit and their captain, J.P. DeLutz, a dual citizen of America and France. The waves repeatedly toss the men out of their tiny vessel, and J.P., with nine broken ribs, is hypothermic and on the verge of death. The captain, however, is a tough-minded character, having survived a sadistic, physically abusive father during his boyhood, and now he's got to rely on those same inner resources to outlast the storm. Trying to reach these survivors before it's too late are four U. S. Coast Guardsmen, including Nevada Smith, battling hurricane force winds in their Jayhawk helicopter. They know the waves in Gulf Stream will be extreme, but when they arrive they are astounded to find crashing seas of 70 feet with some waves topping 80 feet. To lower the helicopter and then drop a rescue swimmer into such chaos is a high-risk proposition. Smith wonders if they have a realistic chance of saving the sailors clinging to the broken life raft, and if they will be able
to retrieve their own rescue swimmer from the towering seas. Once they commit to the rescue, they find themselves in almost as much trouble as the survivors, facing several life and death decisions. This adventure is chronicled in Michael Tougias' book, “A Storm Too Soon,” a heartpounding read of survival, the power of the human spirit, and

Community can be a strong thing. Two events I attended last weekend highlighted the passionate people and strong community bonds I’ve observed since moving to the coast. Friday evening I attended a musical performance by Dana Lyons at the Blue Scorcher Bakery in Astoria. Lyons came to town on his Great Coal Train Tour – a musical and educational tour focusing on the effects that proposed coal export from Wyoming and Montana to China would have on Oregon and Washington business, health and environment. Lyons said he had done 65 shows since September. The night was co-hosted by Columbia Riverkeeper. Lyons brought humor, educational facts, inspiring anecdotes of grassroots power and fun folk music. One song that stood out to me was rhythmic and haunting; told from the perspective of a 100-year-old orca whale matriarch, it explored how the sounds of ships in the water has changed so much over just one lifetime, spanning from wooden canoes and European sailing
ships to metal cargo ships. He finished the night with Lee Hays and Pete Seeger’s “If I Had a Hammer.” I wasn’t familiar with the song, though part of the tune sounded vaguely familiar. But I was a minority in the audience that evening; most people around me sang along to the “song about love between my brothers and my sisters / all over this land.” The lyrics echoed the sentiment of strong community in the room. The next day I attended the North Coast Food Web’s Meet Your Farmer event at the Grace
Episcopal Church in Astoria (there are two more events in Cannon Beach and Grays River on Saturday, April 20). Farmers displayed their wares and farm information inside of the fellowship hall. Some even had samples: I eagerly tried Island’s End Farm’s fresh homemade kim chi. I was looking to sign up for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) during the summer. A CSA works in that you pay ahead of time for a “share” of a farmer’s wares and receive a box of seasonal produce each week during the season. This
way you get to eat fresh, local food, develop a relationship with your farmer and learn about how food is grown. I’ve never been part of a CSA before, but I’m excited to start now. I can’t wait to receive my first box this June. To me, the fact that these two community-focused events took place showcases the strong sense of friendship and support that prospers all over our coast.

If this has whetted your appetite for clams, be sure to check out the Long Beach, Wash., Razor Clam Festival Saturday and Sunday, April 27 and 28
Story by DAVID CAMPICHE Submitted photos by PHIL ALLEN
Digging for razor clams
A
Free Clam Digging Lessons 7 a.m. Saturday and Sunday The Breakers, Highway 103 at 26th Street (Best digging occurs one to two hours prior to low tide) Low tide: 8:37 a.m. Saturday (-1.2) Low tide: 9:24 a.m. Sunday (-1.2) William Lackner will give free lessons. Participants must pre-register at longbeachrazorclamfestival.com and provide a clamming license, shovel or clam gun for digging, and bucket or net to keep clams. After the dig, head to Bolstad Approach for hot beverages to warm you up, 8 to 10 a.m.
Sometimes a razor clam is an artist at avoiding the sauté pan
A razor clam is a wily critter – not as fast as Wile E. Coyote, but still pretty crafty. Like my cat, a clam avoids human contact, other than on its own infrequent terms. A razor clam is an artist at avoiding the sauté pan. When spring weather is fair, the stars in place and the tides correct – low and minus – well, then it ain’t so hard. But on a typical foul-weather day in early April, odds turn against the pursuer. Let’s review this! A cold hard wind gusts out of the southwest, swelling the wave tops and pelting the sandy beaches in Long Beach, Wash., or Seaside with cold, biting rain. The tide is a moderate low, say a one-inch holdover. You leave your toasty car, put on your cold clamming gear and head to the edge of the ocean. Wind and rain are in your face. Your fingers are already numb. You have to be at work in 90 minutes, and you expect the digging will be like the last set of wondrous tides – that is, you’ll be able to easily spot the clams, with their large round indented holes. Of course, nothing is showing. Folks are stomping – literally – across the beach near the surging surf. Occasionally the tide rushes in, and the cold water spills into their rubber boots. Sometimes the waves are high enough that they steal a clam digger’s sack. No problem: There are no clams in it anyway. Buckets are more of a problem. Old timers “dig the surf.” They wear waders and are skilled at spotting the smallest and most imperceptible holes. They will throw the blunt end of their clam shovel into the ebbing salt water and wait for the clam to make a hasty retreat. When the bivalve does run away – straight down and listing to the west – the unisex clam leaves a trace of a hole, kind of an inverted dimple. That’s when the digger strikes. That human being gets plenty wet and appears sort of like a Civil War veteran or incarnation of a battered soul. If he or she goes into the grocery store to pick up smokes or a package of Doritos after the dig, people avoid them, fastidiously. Good clam-diggers position their shovels four inches (give or take a couple centimeters) on the west side of the hole, dig the first shovel deep (extracting sand) and follow with a delicate second, as not to break the shells. They slip their fingers into the hole and – hopefully – pull the clam up by its neck. It is generally advisable to pick the larger holes: larger clams mark their territory with a larger showing, most of the time. Clamming is like fishing: Ultimately there are no governable rules. 4 | April, 11, 2013 | coastweekend.com
There does happen to be one rule that is enforced: You may only dig 15 clams. The Washington Department of Fisheries and State Park officials love to enforce that rule. And they should; 15 clams goes a long ways. (The fines are also hefty.)
Old timers ‘dig the surf.’ They wear waders and are skilled at spotting the smallest and most imperceptible holes. Once at home, pull up your sleeves and clean the clams. Be assured: It’s easy. Watch that you are not squirted with a brown oozy mess that resembles spitting tobacco. Don’t press the digger too hard. A quick bath in boiling water releases the shells. Do it quickly as not to cook the clams. Cool immediately with ice water. Fillets are cooked a number of ways. The most common is the triple dip. That is, dredge the clam in flour. Dip it next into an egg-wash mixture, and then tumble the fillets in cracker crumbs. Sauté these clams in a hot pan with olive oil. Brown lightly and remove. At the last second, I love to sprinkle a small amount of Parmesan cheese over the sautéed clam. This isn’t common, and you could probably turn me in to the cooking authorities for some form of malfeasance. I like the clams simply prepared. Dip them in rice flour. That’s all. Sauté these tasty morsels in olive oil infused with garlic. Sprinkle with Kosher salt and cracked pepper. I often make a dipping sauce with a little ketchup, stone-cut mustard and chipotle. Thin the dipping sauce with a small amount of sweet soy. Here is the one nobody does: Throw the cleaned clam in hot virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan. Turn after seconds. Turn again. Remove thereafter. Crack fresh pepper and sprinkle with sea salt and eat the delicious flesh with a home-made relish or salsa. Eat with relish, or relish what you eat. Your choice. Even if there are no clams to behold, I’ve never experienced a morning on the beach that I didn’t love. But if you’re lucky, there is no better sautéed flesh than a fresh-out-of-the-ocean razor clam.
A veteran clammer begins the dig with a hand-knitted cap, a classic clam shovel and an antique egg basket.

THEATER REVIEW
‘Around the World in 80 Days’ offers family-friendly laughs Review by AMY BUGBEE — For COAST WEEKEND The Coaster Theatre is currently presenting its rendition of “Around the World in 80 Days.” The Jules Verne classic has charmed young and old alike for well over a century. It tells the globe-trotting adventure taken by the wealthy and peculiar Phileas Fogg and his devoted manservant, who travel by train, boat, ship and elephant across oceans and continents to win a bet. Producing such a tale for the stage is seemingly impossible, especially on the budget of a community theater, but the Coaster Theatre manages this daunting feat with surprising creativity. A large screen acts as the most crucial and clever prop on the sparse stage. It is designed to

look like Big Ben, with a large clock display ticking down the time. The screen performs double duty, offering newspaper headlines, images of historic places and even a monsoon during moments of the production. The minimalistic set lent itself to some of the comedy of the play: A ship’s deck was ingeniously created with the addition of a rolling railing – moved back and forth to mimic the illusion of waves – a wooden elephant rolled in on wheels, and several comically produced smaller sailing vessels, which required one of the two narrators to wear a steam pipe on her head and hold a sail. Of course there is more to theater than sets. According to Dramatic Publishing’s website, where the play’s program states the script is derived, this version
of “Around The World in 80 Days” can be performed by five to 39 cast members, so one can assume that the clever segues and alterations are that of Mark Brown’s adaptation. But that is not to say that Ryan Hull’s directorial debut does not deserve credit for a cohesive production and overcoming the obvious obstacles related to the story. While it is difficult to criticize the performance of actors donating their time, the job of the theater critic is to offer an honest report, however unpleasant that may be. While all of the actors gave adequate performances, there were several standouts that deserve mentioning, the first being that of the French servant Monsieur Passepartout, played by Juan Lira III. Lira maintained his French accent impeccably throughout the performance (unless it was real?), his timing was spot on and much of the physical comedy of the play fell upon his shoulders. Other exceptional performances came way of the narrators, deftly portrayed by Cameron GatesLira and Jean White. In matching black dresses, they kept the story moving, filling in the blanks and offering reactions of approval and disdain at crucial moments. Other members of the cast

LightBox Photographic Gallery ‘PDX Photo Month Exhibit’ opens Saturday ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery opens the second annual “PDX Photo Month Exhibit” with an artists’ reception 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, April 13. This group exhibit celebrates LightBox’s appreciation of the Portland photographic community, showcasing the work of 40 talented fine art photographers from Portland, with each photographer contributing one print for the show. Discover the quality and diversity of the work of this group and help welcome these photographers to Astoria. During the month of April, Portland conducts a month-long celebration of the photography with a series of special events known as Portland Photo Month. The series takes place at Blue Sky Gallery, Newspace Center for Photography, Portland Art Museum and many other venues around the city. LightBox brings Portland Photo
Month to Astoria as an official venue of this celebration. Jim Leisy serves as juror for this exhibit. Leisy is a photographer, photography activist, publisher and founding board member of the Portland Art Museum’s Photography Council. Find the complete list of artists and their websites at www.light box-photographic.com Photographer Joni Kabana is a featured artist, showing an extended collection from her remarkable “The Market Workers” series. This series of images explores the goods that are sold, the clothing that is worn, and the various personalities that are found within the market settings in Ethiopia. The exhibit will be on display at the gallery through May 4. If you are not able to make it to the reception, visit the gallery during the month. Michael and Chelsea Granger at LightBox
included Richard Bowman and Slab Slabinski, who had the daunting task of changing characters, costumes and accents in a matter of minutes, even seconds in some cases, which deserves praise no matter the actual success of the transition. They garnered their fair share of laughs, sometimes just for the incredible speed of their character changes. Todd Payne gave a subdued per-
formance of the eccentric and refined Fogg. Amanda Payne portrayed Aouda, the Indian woman rescued from being burned alive who becomes Fogg’s love interest. She offered no discernible accent, nor much change in expression. She did, however, change her outfits several times, and the costume design was quite good throughout the production.

Live comedy can be a difficult thing to get right as timing, and delivery can prove quite a challenge. To its credit, “Around the World in 80 Days” manages to keep the laughs rolling. This production is not serious theater; it is not risky or “dangerous.” It is comical and light hearted, and it’s perfect fodder for families. The production is fast paced enough to be enjoyed by all ages, and that is really what this play is meant to be: a cheerful, family-friendly comedy, offering a cultural alternative to a movie and a bit of history. “Around the World in 80 Days” continues at the Coaster Theatre 7:30 p.m. April 11 to 13 and 19 and 20. It also shows at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 14. The theater is located at 108 N. Hemlock St. in Cannon Beach.

‘Day jobs’ Just how does an artist make ends meet? Not long ago, Dwight Caswell wrote about artist Tom Benenati, a Washington State Park Ranger whom he called a “pistol-packin’ artist.” It got him wondering what other unusual “day jobs” local artists might have. Read about his findings below.
I
I should have written about this long ago. I’ve supported my obsession with creating fine art photography by being a commercial photographer, which is not that unusual, but I’ve also been a winemaker, an apprentice funeral director and even a writer. You see, artists are driven to create art: Maybe it’s psychological, maybe it’s genetic or maybe it’s the Higgs boson. Whatever it is, you gotta do it, even if sometimes it doesn’t pay the rent. No matter how good the art, an artist may be popular one year and unable to give away his or her work the next. If you’re an artist and you’ve hit a rough patch (and if you’re lucky), you’ll get a job working close to your art. Jill McVarish is one of the lucky ones. She works at Astoria’s RiverSea Gallery, which also shows her work. She’s the one who hangs the shows, patches and repaints the walls,
No matter how good the art, an artist may be popular one year and unable to give away his or her work the next. and because the gallery sells a lot of art to tourists, she’s the one who packs and ships the art. McVarish’s story is not the usual one. She wasn’t a starving artist; she chose to make less money. You’ve probably seen those nice prints that major department stores sell and the better hotels hang on their walls. They’re copies of good paintings created by excellent artists you’ve never heard of – because the names are pseudonyms that guarantee that the artist gets paid for the painting, but not for all the prints. McVarish was classically trained by her father, a painter, and has a Master of Fine Arts degree, and she was one of those artists for 20 years. Last year she gave it up. “At last I’m
really enjoying my painting,” she says, “Even if I’m not making much money.” That may change. In June, the first show of paintings by Jill McVarish (her real name), will be hung by Jill McVarish on the walls of RiverSea Gallery. Tim Peitsch is another artist with a show in his future (November, at Imogen Gallery in Astoria). His work is exquisitely drawn, but most of his time is spent not in a smock in the studio, but in Carhartts over or under the docks of local waterfronts. A fifth generation local (he lives in Olney), his company, Tidewater Construction, was started by his father. They build or repair buildings, pilings and just about anything else near the water. “The family shifted into that business with the big decline of logging and fishing,” he says, and over the generations they have seen a lot of changes. So it comes as no surprise that his art “almost always documents what I’ve had first-hand experience with.” It is the slow pace of change through history that finds its way into his work, and he wonders how artists of other times would represent the world today. Peitsch thinks deeply about his work. “My work is representational,” he says, and then launches into the history of art since Marcel Duchamp (“The central driving force moving in a non-representational direction.”) and notes a “hard swing” back to representational art in the past 15 years. “I have taken classes at different schools,” Peitsch says, “but I’m largely self-taught: 25 years of trial and error, beginning with lying on the living room floor drawing as a kid.” He also went to every gallery opening and museum show he could, and soon he’ll be attending a gallery opening as the guest of honor. Robert Paulmenn doesn’t have a long history in Astoria – he just arrived. “There have been times,” he says, “when I worked as an artist full time, but other times have been lean, and I had to fill in.” Paulmenn characterizes himself as a “traditional figurative realist painter” who will paint “anything

that interests me.” Trained in traditional processes, he builds paintings from the drawing out, layers of paint and glazes. When not painting, he has “filled in” at an amusement park, doing architectural sculpture and mold making for the buildings and repairing rides, which led to work as an orthotist, where the same skills enabled him to create braces for legs. He’s been a carpenter, specializing in interior restoration, and for an extended period of time he was a chef. He owned two restaurants in Colorado, a career so time-consuming that he all but abandoned art. “I came to Oregon to get back to art,” he says, and when he arrived in Astoria he rented a studio. He also took a job as a maintenance technician at Gateway Apartments, “which frees up most of my time to work in the studio.”
Artist Jill McVarish, left, shows her paintings at RiverSea Gallery, visible behind her. McVarish’s “day job” is to work at the gallery. She’s the one who hangs art for display, above, packs and ships art for buyers who live out of town, and patches and repaints the walls when needed.
With the time and studio space, Paulmenn returned to painting, and his new work appears on the walls of RiverSea Gallery, hung there by Jill McVarish. A lot of work goes into art, and not just in the studio. Think of that next time you visit a gallery and buy a painting. Even artists have to pay the rent.

2nd Saturday
ART WALK
April
13
5 to 8 p.m.
ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold the Astoria Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 13. Meet artists and mingle with friends and fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits. The art walk is sponsored by the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association. Venues are highlighted throughout town with colorful pinwheels.
ART BUSINESSES Carine’s Studio 211 12th St. Buttons, bolts, washers, bottle caps, beads, coins, horseshoe nails, tea tins, curtain rings, typewriter parts, Altoid boxes, beach glass, moss, flowers, keys, rocks, spoons, electronics, gears, machine parts, silver, bronze, steel, copper, leather, aluminum, up-cycled, recycled, new and used – all parts of Carine’s unique original jewelry and unusually cool accessories. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. 503-468-0620 www.imogengallery.com Imogen Gallery is gearing up for a jump into the season with “Splat: A Spring Show” by Portland artist Jennifer Mercede, which opens with an artist’s reception from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, April 13 during the Astoria Second Saturday Art Walk. Mercede, known for her bold colorful style, brings a collection of abstract and wildlife-inspired paintings that are sure to embody the life forces of spring. The exhibition will remain on display through May 7. Working on all scales, each finished painting expresses a quality of joie de vivre – color and brilliant brush strokes jump from the surface, as if trying to escape containment. Mercede also “works back” into a painting, a retroactive method where paint is excavated to show an underlying substrate. Mercede describes her work as “designed to uplift your soul ... each painting is another chance to let go, to be free, to escape
all rules and restrictions.” In Mercede’s confident approach, there is no such thing as a mistake. Old Town Framing Company 1287 Commercial St. 503-325-5221 www.oldtownframing.com April showers might bring May flowers, but April also brings Jeff Donnelly back to Old Town Framing for the Astoria Second Saturday Art Walk. Jeff has a show every April, and every April we wonder what fantastic art he might be working on. Using primarily oil paint, Donnelly’s imagery wanders though the seasons, capturing the high light of a summer’s day and the low light of a winter walk. Always one for vibrant colors, his images this year reflect his love of structure and landscapes. Donnelly’s artwork will open with an artist reception at the art walk, complete with refreshments. His work will show through May 11. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. 503-325-1270 www.riverseagallery.com Kym Ojala, a Portland artist of Finnish and Norwegian descent, will debut her paintings as April’s Artist in the Alcove during the Astoria Second Saturday Art Walk. Ojala’s vibrant landscapes and waterscapes sing with color and the lyrical effect she achieves calls to mind Scandinavian folk tales. Wes Wahrmund will play jazz guitar and light refreshments will be served. Two solo exhibitions, “Shared Discoveries II” by Astoria artist Linden and “Crosscurrents” by Portland artist Olinka Broad-

foot, will also be on display. Fernhill Glass Studio 1450 Exchange St. Claude and Chris at Fernhill Glass would like to have everyone on the art walk come visit Miss Kitty and watch them make art happen. The studio is a little of the main drag but worth the walk. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery, formerly the Festival Artists Cooperative Gallery, will feature artist Kimberly Reed at an artist reception during the art walk. Flutist Lauren Brady will play as well. Also on display will be the work of local artists in a variety of mediums, including watercolor, acrylic, pen and ink, monotype prints and photography. In addition to wall art, there is a selection of greeting cards, jewelry and hand-printed clothing. Reed says that her works are often noted for their texture and layer after layer of paint and vibrant color. “Self expression through art is an integral part of who I am,” she says. “My paintings reflect a moment in time, calm amidst turbulence. My work is raw, edgy, restless, intense and always evolving.” Reed has lived in Astoria for three years, and her first solo show, “Visceral,” was held at KALA in February 2012. Tempo Gallery shares space with the Astoria Music Festival. Gallery hours are noon to 4 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday. KALA 1017 Marine Drive
503-338-4878 KALA welcomes Portland-based interdisciplinary artist Wayne Bund, the marketing and communications coordinator at Pacific Northwest College of Art. His exhibition, “Mimesis,” is a show of 20 photographs that document gay/queer people in their 20s and 30s living in Portland. The exhibition pairs two photographs of each subject: a simple portrait of the subject in their bedroom and a second portrait of the person in a constructed “fantasy set.” Choosing a childhood fantasy, a “fantasy set” is prepared using materials (cardboard, paper mache, tempera) that speak to childhood play. This project seeks to find a common history in queer people and to take a private world and find power in releasing it into the public sphere, showcasing the power within the imagination of individuals. Art walk-goers can meet the artist from 5 to 8 p.m. A community dance with disco-oriented tunes will follow from 8:30 p.m. to midnight, celebrating queer culture. All are welcome. There will be no cover and a no-host cocktail bar.
OTHER BUSINESSES SUPPORTING ART WALK The Trails End Souvenirs & Gifts 1365 Commercial St. The Trails End Souvenirs & Gifts believes art comes in all forms. The shop highlights the creativity of local artists through their paintings, photography, wood work, knitted items, jewelry and more.
randa Rinks will host a wide range of talented artisans, all with connections to Astoria and one common goal – to come together for the future Hostel Halcyon. A silent auction featuring paintings, drawings and photographs from local artists will begin at 5:30 p.m. The evening will also include tarot card reading, henna body painting and massages. All proceeds will go to benefit Hostel Halcyon. Musical guests Car Cactus with Freestone will perform at 8 p.m. and Holiday Friends will hit the stage at 9 p.m. Admission is free.

Master Gardeners ‘Spring into Gardening’ and Tongue Point Job Corps landscaping students dig helping them Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH
N
No doubt about it, spring is in the air. Signs of it are everywhere. Buds are bursting, branches are bearing. And the Clatsop County Master Gardeners (CCMG) are bustling as they “Spring into Gardening.” The master gardeners invite the public to join them for their annual Spring Garden Seminar from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 13 at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds. Take off a layer or two of winter clothing, go find your gardening tools and mark your calendars for a free day filled with plants, classes, advice, vendors and raffles. Arrive early; grab a cup of coffee and a snack, compliments of the master gardeners. Then stroll through the more than 30 vendors’ booths. You’ll find all things gardening: plant sales, master gardeners on hand answering gardening questions; a master gardeners’ raffle – just about anything that has to do with gardens. Be sure to catch the Tongue Point Job Corps (TPJC) Landscaping booth to see what a bunch of skilled students are up to. Five dollars will purchase a raffle ticket, and there’s no limit on the number you can buy. The winning ticket is worth eight hours of landscaping or yard work in Clatsop or Pacific County. TPJC landscape instructor Kris Saulsbury, his student crew of about 15 experienced landscapers, and all equipment needed come with the win. To say the least, these are the hottest tickets of the day, and you don’t have to be present to win. “I like the raffle idea. With a raffle everyone has a chance,” Saulsbury said. There’s only one winning ticket, but all proceeds go toward the Clatsop County Master Gardeners’ scholarship. One lucky Astoria couple, the Laugherys, know what the win can bring. “Bill and I won a

full day of yard work donated by the students,” Gin Laughery said. “We were extremely happy with their work. They worked together as professionals, problem solving right along with Kris. Then came the rain, the hard rain, forcing the crew to quit, but making sure we knew they would be back to finish up. We were so pleased with their work that we hired Kris and four of his students to come back and do some clearing for us. It’s evident that these kids fall in love with landscaping. Kris is proud of them and he should be. “By the way, if you haven’t seen the Job Corps’ grounds, which are maintained by the landscape program’s students, they look somewhat like a golf course,” Laughery added. “They are absolutely stunning while at the same time providing the students with lifelong skills.” There are only 12 landscaping vocational training programs nationwide, and Tongue Point Job Corps has the only one in the Northwest, which draws its students primarily from Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska. The master gardener seminar also provides several speakers to address a variety of gardening know-how. Keynote speaker and Clackamas Community College horticulture teacher Elizabeth Howley will discuss Victory Gardens, both their history and their place in present day, at 11 a.m. Howley has over 30 years of experience teaching and lecturing on a variety of horticultural
topics. “Since my first visit to a greenhouse with my grandfather at age five, I’ve been learning how plants grow,” Howley said. At 11:30 a.m., Susan Dyer-Preston, former Astorian, a master gardener and the woman behind the Clatsop County Animal Shelter’s Pet Friendly Garden (which is open to the public) will discuss PetFriendly Gardens, highlighting plants and gardening practices that are safe for animals.
You’ll find all things gardening: plant sales, master gardeners on hand to answer gardening questions, a master gardeners’ raffle – just about anything that has to do with gardens. Becky Graham, Astoria master gardener and owner of Harvest Moon Designs, will speak about custom container gardens at 1 p.m. She and her husband, TPJC landscape instructor Saulsbury, have over 100 plants in containers in their own garden. “You might say it is an obsession,” Graham said. At 2 p.m. Teresa Retzlaff of 46 North Farm, will talk about extending a growing season with raised beds and row covers. Retzlaff is a well known advocate for all things healthy, including a local food economy. Retzlaffwill also participate in the Open Forum. New this year is the addition of an Open Forum at 3 p.m. A panel will share their knowledge and answer questions from the audience. The panel includes “man-for-all- seasons,” traveler, former restaurant owner and current farmer Fred Johnson of Fred’s Homegrown Produce. Johnson says that “farming has humbled him as a human, an eater and a pompous chef but makes him whole in ways he has never before known.” Panelist Retzlaff is an organic farmer, well known and respected local food enthusiast, founding member of the North Coast Food Web and outreach coordinator for North Coast Land Conservancy. Completing the panel is Michael Bunch, a CCC science instructor and a master gardener who has taught botany for the Clatsop County Master Gardeners’ certification classes for many years. The Clatsop County Master Gardeners have been actively working in and educating themselves and our community for 25 years. The first of what became their annual spring event was held at Astoria High School shortly after they formed ; it was then moved to the Fairgrounds. “This is our biggest public outreach event,” Sandy Gipson, chair of this year’s “Spring into Gardening” event, said. “The master gardener mission is public education. We want people to know that we are here to answer their questions. Sometimes people assume that we know everything. We don’t. Far from it, but we are well trained to look stuff up, to find the correct answers, which are usually available through Oregon State’s OSU Extension Service or other such bona fide research. We are continually learning.” The Clatsop County Master Gardeners, well rooted in our community for over two decades continue to grow and to give. “Spring into Gardening” with them at the Clatsop Fairgrounds and leave feeling more ready than ever to dig into your own gardens.

La Cabana De Raya
Carne asada.
Look no further than the Lewis and Clark Bridge for authentic Mexican food
A
As a long-time student of Spanish language and culture, and having spent time abroad in Mexico, Mexican cuisine holds a special place in my heart and on my table. I love really good, authentic Mexican food, and truth be told, often think I could be happy eating little else. So you can imagine how thrilled I am to be reviewing La Cabana De Raya in Astoria, one of the best and most authentic Mexican restaurants on the coast. If you are a regular reader of my reviews (and if you are, thank you!), you may remember that a few weeks ago I discussed the seeming homogenization of American Chinese food, and I find that often the same can be said about Mexican food. While Mexican food, like Chinese food, varies by each region, what we know in the states as Mexican food is often “Tex-Mex” food, cuisine from the Border States that is really a fusion of American ingredients and Mexican-inspired dishes. You are familiar with it, I’m sure: globs and globs of melted yellow cheese, sizable scoops of sour cream and plates that are inexplicably one million degrees (and seriously, why is that?). In truth, when visiting Mexico you are more likely to find a light crumbling of queso fresco and a drizzle of Mexican crema. Now, I enjoy a burrito as much as the next person (which is also largely an American creation), so I don’t mean any disrespect to either version of Mexican cuisine. But I do appreciate authenticity, especially when a restaurant such as this one delivers it so beautifully. La Cabana De Raya, situated near the Lewis and Clark Bridge and overlooking the Columbia River, is a tiny, family-run restaurant full of character, authenticity and warm spirit. I started the evening’s eatings with an order of nachos, a dish whose history has an interesting tale. The story goes that sometime in the mid 1940s, a few army wives whose husbands were sta-

tioned in Fort Duncan were on a shopping trip in Mexico, and stopped at a restaurant just as they were about to close. The man who was closing up for the evening went to the kitchen and managed to make them a dish from what he had left from the day… some tortilla triangles and cheese sauce. The

La Cabana De Raya’s version is topped with marinated chicken, queso fresco and crema, onion,
cilantro, tomatoes and avocados. Unlike the gut-busting nachos more commonly seen these days, these are light, delicate, flavorful and simple. Next I ordered the ceviche, a dish typically attributed to Peruvian cuisine, and it was exceptional. Traditional ceviche features seafood that marinates in a blend of citrus juices until the protein denatures, meaning it’s really “brined” and not cooked. I find La Cabana De Raya’s version much more palatable with cooked fish, in this case halibut and crab, with tangy lime, onion, cilantro, tomato and avocado, served on a crispy tostada. I plan to come again sometime at lunch and order several of these. I was delighted to see torta on the menu, which, forgive the description, is sort of a Mexican hamburger. This is about as authentically Mexican as you can get, and the version served here

features y o u r choice of grilled meat with cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, jalapenos and avocados served on a bun. Given the popularity of the sandwiches in buns in America, I am always surprised that tortas are not more readily available. This torta lived up to my expectations, and I ate it with carne asada. I tried next a variety of tacos and sampled each meat the restaurant offers: Chorizo (Mexican sausage), carne asada (steak), al pastor (seasoned pork), tinga (shredded chicken with tomato, potato, onion, and mild chipotle sauce), and pollo marinado (seasoned, grilled chicken). Each taco was tasty and complex, but my favorites were those with the seasoned pork and the tinga, which is a singularly wonderful flavor. The smokiness of chipotle is mellowed by potato and the chicken is incredibly moist and tender. Each taco was served on homemade corn tortillas. Homemade tortillas really add a flavor element to tacos that is often otherwise missing when prepared with storebought shells. Our service throughout the evening was pleasant and quick, and our server didn’t miss a beat with my somewhat long and complicated order. My favorite moment of the warm, sunny evening happened as the sun was just beginning to set, and I noticed that every diner in the place had looked up from their meals to watch the purplepink horizon reflecting on the water. It was one of those wonderful moments that remind me how much I love where I live, and I was pleased to experience this moment at La Cabana De Raya, where they clearly love what they do.
Mexican theme. SERVICE: Friendly, fast and attentive.
PRICES:The prices are exceptionally low for food of this quality, with nothing more than $9.50 and most dishes in the $7 to $8 range. It would be nice to see warm chips and salsa included as a courtesy, as is common in many Mexican restaurants.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Many of the dishes could be prepared without meat, but no items on the menu are expressly vegetarian.
ATMOSPHERE:The restaurant boasts an incredible view but is small and could use a little sprucing up or a more unified
DRINKS: Coffee, soft drinks, beer, wine and a small selection of Mexican cocktails, plus other classic Mexican beverages, such as Horchata.

Canon Beach Celebrate 12 Days of Earth Day CANNON BEACH — Cannon Beach strives to celebrate Earth Day every day of the year. To honor the environment, the city sets aside 12 days to educate and provide stewardship activities. Earth Day is Ed Johnson’s Christmas Day. As a science teacher with the Seaside School District, Johnson made sure his students and fellow staff members knew about Earth Day. After his retirement, he became active
on the Cannon Beach volunteer committee: Parks and Community Services. The Earth Day celebration started with a one-day observance and then a three-day festival. Three years ago, the Cannon Beach Parks and Community Services committee, the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, Haystack Rock Awareness Program and the Cannon Beach Gallery Group expanded the celebration.

Pet-friendly artists collaborate in new show
Attend a book launch, an author lunch
SEASIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The arts in Seaside are going to the dogs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the dogs and cats, that is. A group of petfriendly artists are presenting â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Colors,â&#x20AC;? a group show at Yummy Wine Bar & Bistroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gallery. All proceeds from the sale of art will be donated to Clatsop Animal Assistance (CAA), to help generate funds for operating costs. Fourteen diverse artists are joining together â&#x20AC;&#x201C; seven local and seven from across the country â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Anni Jones, Carol Riley, Cathy Law, Darren Orange,
SEASIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Beach Books invites book lovers to attend two events in the next week. Seaside author Honey Perkel will visit Beach Books to launch her newest novel, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Place Called Paradise,â&#x20AC;? at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 11. It is the final book in her â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Thousand Summersâ&#x20AC;? trilogy, continuing the story of Bearnard, whose past is beginning to catch up with him. Like the first two, the novel is set in Seaside. Wine and refreshments will be provided. Aprilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Lunch With The Author event will feature Seattle author Jim Lynch, who will be Beach Booksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first male author lunch guest. His newest book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Truth Like the Sun,â&#x20AC;? alternates between, and unites, the story of Seattle in 1962, just as the Space Needle is reaching the sky, and the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s post-dot-com gloom in 2001. Lynchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s other novels include â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Highest Tideâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Border Songs.â&#x20AC;? For reservations, call 503-738-3500. The cost of $20 includes a

CAA is a nonprofit, volunteer organization dedicated to helping homeless pets. Besides the cost of spaying and neutering, a critical part of the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work involves preparing and promoting these pets for adoption. CAA supports and improves their health with medical care, allergen-free food and grooming. Volunteers walk dogs and socialize cats and dogs to prepare them for their â&#x20AC;&#x153;forever homeâ&#x20AC;? and provide training through Hammond Kennel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Colorsâ&#x20AC;? began with a simple discussion between two friends, Corey Albert and Josie Coleman, an active CAA volunteer, which led them to the idea of an art show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is unlike anything weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever done before

and the response from artists and everyone involved has been overwhelming,â&#x20AC;? says Albert, owner and chef of Yummy Wine Bar & Bistro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once artists heard 100 percent of every dollar generated from this show was going directly to CAA, they all said yes.â&#x20AC;? The artists have not only donated their art but the revenue from the sale of their pieces, The Gallery @ Yummy Wine Bar & Bistro has donated its commission, Signs One has donated the showâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graphics, and many others have donated time and expenses, resulting in every dollar generated from â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Colorsâ&#x20AC;? going directly to CAA. This is the first time a gallery and artists have collaborated to create such an event for CAA. â&#x20AC;&#x153;True Colorsâ&#x20AC;? is a symbol of

how the arts can help others, said Albert. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an example of the unspoken bond artists share, locally and nationally, strangers to each other, but coming together as one voice in support of something they see as special in our community.â&#x20AC;?

Seaside Library Author takes real-life path to enlightenment SEASIDE â&#x20AC;&#x201D; At 7 p.m. Thursday, April 18, the Friends of the Seaside Library will host Polly Campbell, author of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imperfect Spirituality: Extraordinary Enlightenment for Ordinary People.â&#x20AC;? The event will take place in the Community Room and there will be book sales and signings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pulling a raisin out of a 2year-oldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nose probably wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t on Buddhaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s path toward enlightenment, but it was one of the obstacles on mine,â&#x20AC;? writes Campbell. She says that for her and many of the women she
knows, stuck raisins and the other imperfect, real-life moments provide the best and sometimes only shot at spiritual growth. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Imperfect Spiritualityâ&#x20AC;? is Campbellâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new perspective that shows the imperfections you are trying to hide are the ones that can put you on a path to spiritual growth and greater wellbeing. The author makes the case that you can lead a healthier, happier, more authentic life by adopting some useful and easy spiritual practices which will

Tokeland Hotel Artists present new work at studio tour TOKELAND, Wash. — Fifteen artists from the beaches near Tokeland, Wash., will be showing new work at the seventh an-
Tokeland/North Cove Studio Tour 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 20 Tokeland Hotel and nearby artists’ studios Tokeland, Wash. 360-267-2326 nual Tokeland/North Cove Studio Tour, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 20. This muchanticipated event is headquartered at the historic Tokeland Hotel and at three nearby artists’ studios. A variety of art in different mediums will be presented, including painting, pottery, jewelry, woodworking, native carvings and assemblage. The studio of Knock on Wood will showcase driftwood furniture and sculpture by nationally recognized artist Jeffro and wood carvings by Shoalwater Bay tribal artist Earl Davis. The Mann Studio features landscape paintings and pastels
by Wally and Marlene Mann. Judith Altruda Jewelry will display Altruda’s recent explorations of ancient metalworking techniques combined with sea glass and diamonds. On the Tokeland Hotel grounds, first-time studio tour artist Senja Antilla will show reclaimed wood collages and furniture made from wood salvaged from homes that have been abandoned on nearby Washaway Beach. Antilla’s art is a tribute to the devastation and loss of homes that occurs each winter. In this way, it is also a reminder of the strength of Mother Nature and the impermanence of all things. All of her pieces are oneof-a-kind in design and limited to the materials that she finds. She began collecting ocean-tumbled, perfectly distressed wood in 2008 and started creating artful objects in 2012. Inside the hotel, Marcy Merrill will be signing copies of “Dogs Tell Their Stories,” her book with author Rex Martin. The work of painters Barbara Sampson, Marsha Gonzales and Bev King Lufkin provide lively impressions and scenes of pristine local beauty. Pen and ink

Born and raised: I was born and raised in Camden, N.J. Lives now: I now live in Seaside. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your art? Painting, turned and carved wood, small sculptures, elaborate miniature dioramas, mixed media and really clever small signs. I show at Tilted Art and Gifts in Seaside; RiverSea Gallery in Astoria, Clatsop Community College’s art auction in April; J. Alexander galleries in La Jolla, Calif., Art and Antiques in Rockport, Mass., Shirada Gallery in Hudson, N.Y., and Crafts People in West Hurley, N.Y. What do you strive to portray in your works? Apart from my miniatures and vessels, my main thrust is non-representational artwork. I strive to free both imagination and the subconscious. What sparked your interest in this art form and how did you gain the skills
to do it? My interest was ignited when I realized I would never make a full-time living in art and that I had nothing to lose with taking risks with my work. I gained the necessary skills because, at a young age, I learned how to learn. Recently you've started delving into woodworking, apart from your wood sculpture, hollow forms and vessels. Tell me about that. My day job has been as a furniture and cabinet maker for more than 20 years. I have a profound need for new (to me) forms of expression, hence my ceaseless experiments. What do you do when you're not creating art? Read, watch films, beach comb and dig clams, cook, stare at the sky. Your motto is: Never give up. What is your most prized possession? My corgi dog, Pneuma. (Not really a possession.)
Five Minutes With offers a Q&A with an artist, musician, thespian or writer involved in the local art scene. If you are interested in being featured, contact Coast Weekend Editor Rebecca Sedlak at rsedlak@dailyastorian.com
