Clatsop County Master Gardeners present Spring into Gardening

Astoria High School gardening students will bring starts to the plant sale at the Spring into Gardening event at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, including geranium starts.
4 | April 10, 2014 | coastweekend.com
From 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, April 12 at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, the Clatsop County Master Gardeners are all set to help you and yours get your garden growing. Come one, come all: It’s time to Spring into Gardening – a celebration all about plants, our neighborhoods, our planet and an ongoing healthy and sustainable reality. The master gardeners’ annual day of all things gardening has something for everyone. Right from the get-go, it’s a good opportunity for an outing. Besides that, there’s no entry fee. (Though donations to the Clatsop County Food Bank are always appreciated.) Some of the many activities throughout the day include the always-popular plant sale. “All of the plants are grown by our master gardeners and their friends, which means the plants are local,� said Pam Trenary, master gardener and Spring into Gardening committee member. “This stuff has just come out of the ground; it’s been seasoned. The closer to home a plant begins its life, the better its chance for success in your own garden.� Shasta daisies, Japanese anemones and apple trees will be on the table this year. Astoria High School gardening students have helped out and will bring their glorious geranium starts and sedum wreaths. And this is just the tip of the iceberg (or should that read “the growing starts of what’s to come?�). Each year promises a great assortment at great prices. Demonstrations at the plant sale booth take place at 11:20 a.m., 1:45 p.m. and 2:40 p.m. Master gardeners are available throughout the day. Questions are encouraged, and if yours can’t be answered, master gardeners will source it until it is answered. Along those lines, did you know that our local roaming wildlife doesn’t give a hoot for chomping on dahlias? You read that correctly: Your dahlias are safe, at least from the seemingly insatiable appetites of elk and deer. Now that you do know, master gardener and dahlia diva Joanie Chapel will show you how to grow them at her popular dahlia class. The Tongue Point Job Corps students will once again show off their considerable talent, this year with a water feature

‘Art Through the Eyes of a Child’ Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts, a new downtown Astoria gallery, debuts with an art show featuring work by Astoria Head Start students
D
During this month’s Second Saturday Art Walk in Astoria, you’ll have the opportunity to buy some one-of-a-kind artwork while also supporting a good cause. And who knows? You might even end up with a piece by a future Van Gogh. Astoria Head Start is teaming up with Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts to present “Art Through the Eyes of a Child,” an exhibition of art made by Head Start students ages 3 to 5. The event will not only provide support for the Astoria Head Start Parent Group, but also serve as a “soft opening” of the new Winnifred Byrne gallery. In addition to the student artwork – all of which will be for sale by silent auction – visitors will be able to buy rafÀe tickets for items donated by local businesses. They will also get a chance to sample refreshments from El Tapatio restaurant and dance to the music of Acústica. Charlotte Bruhn, co-owner of the gallery, says this event is the perfect way to launch her new business. “All these people are going to be here to see (the kids’) art,” Bruhn says. “It’s cool when you’re 50 and you have that happen; imagine when you’re 4, and you see your art on the wall. It’s just going to be awesome for the parents, too, and the community, to get that energy.” The Head Start students have been working

on all kinds of art to include in the exhibit, from watercolors and photography, to paper-making and clay sculpture. They’ve smashed frozen cubes of acrylic paint with a hammer to make abstract paintings, and they’ve etched designs into plexiglass plates to make prints. Head Start teacher Tiffany Hall explains that art projects like these allow students to express themselves. “We have kids who have dif¿culty speaking – they just don’t have the vocabulary, the words to share what it is about their world,” Hall says. “But with art they can share that. They can tell us what they’re feeling. They can tell us what they’re seeing.” She tells the story of one boy who had never talked in class before. “Normally, he would just sit and smile at me; he wouldn’t say anything,” Hall says. But when the class began to work with photography, the boy started asking for the camera. As Hall puts it, “It was literally giving him a voice.” Photography projects have been an especially big hit with students and teachers alike. “The coolest thing is the perspective,” says Liz Visser, manager of Astoria Head Start. “It’s just so different.” Case in point: a multiple-photograph “feet study” that depicts exactly what the name implies. Students have also photographed class activities and scenes from their homes. Visser explains that the upcoming event will be held in conjunction with the Week of the Young Child, an annual celebration sponsored by the National Association for the Education of Young Children. Proceeds will help pay for group activities that Head Start students can enjoy with their families, like bowling nights and family dinners. According to Visser and
Hall, these activities are an important way for parents to build community so that they can support each other as they work with Head Start to prepare their children for kindergarten. Bruhn of the Winnifred Byrne gallery says the event came together “in synchronicity,” and the timing worked well with her business plans. After the Head Start show, the gallery will be open limited hours, with a grand opening set for the Second Saturday Art Walk in May. Bruhn intends to carry art by local artists in a variety of media, as well as jewelry, gifts and a wide selection of cards that customers will be able ¿ll out at the gallery’s chessboard table and mail directly from the store. The gallery will also have an on-site ceramics studio where Bruhn will work and perhaps offer classes. For now, while plans for the gallery are still evolving, Bruhn is excited to be hosting the Head Start show. “This is going to be great to help us ¿nd our way to what we’re going to be,” she says. “I couldn’t have planned a better debut.”
‘Imagine when you’re 4, and you see your art on the wall.’

Astoria Studio Tour invites artists to July event ASTORIA — The Astoria Society of Artists invites local artists to participate in its 2014 Astoria Studio Tour.

I
n the warm glow of a greenhouse in Cannon Beach, theater director Merril Lynn Taylor is gathered with four actors, three women and one man, on a call-back audition for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Twelfth Nightâ&#x20AC;? by Shakespeare. Though the play wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t premier until September, Taylor is getting an early start, partly because the play is more challenging than some, but mostly because she will have little time between the closing of the summer season at the Coaster Theatre and the opening of the fall plays.

At the time, PSU was putting on summer plays at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach, and Taylor starting directing summer shows at the cozy beach venue. A long and happy relationship was born. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been directing summer plays at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach for 17 years.

Pickled Fish: ‘There is nothing else on the Peninsula, or perhaps on the coast at large, quite like it.’
A
Although I love everything about the coast, and I am proud that I live here, sometimes I appreciate stepping into a restaurant and feeling like I’ve been transported to another place. Pickled Fish in Long Beach, Wash., which sits atop the modestly chic Adrift Hotel, is decidedly hip with its upcycled atmosphere, its fresh and innovative handcrafted cocktails, and its focus on organic food sourced locally through sustainable practices. It feels more like a restaurant you would ¿nd in an up-and-coming Portland neighborhood. The really cool thing, though, is that I don’t think owners Brady and Tiffany Turner and partner and chef Charlie Zorich fashioned it this way because it’s trendy – but rather, because they had a vision for a uniTue culinary direction that ¿ts their own personal style. There is truly nothing else on the Peninsula, or perhaps on the coast at large, quite like it. With wooden tables salvaged from old ships, Mason jars for light bulbs, and leather barstool seats fashioned from worn welding smocks, the restaurant seems to be underlining with its décor what it hopes to express in its cuisine – there is beauty and value in the world right at our ¿ngertips, and sometimes something very simple can make a dramatic statement. Add this to arguably the best ocean view on the peninsula, and the combination is unbeatable. An appetizer of house French fries, mundane as it might seem, is served with trufÀe-infused ketchup and can be ordered a ³lil messy,” with garlic and fried pork belly, or ³dirty, dirty,” with garlic, fried pork belly, pepperoncini and goat cheese. Naturally, I
ordered my fries ³dirty, dirty,” and savored every last bite, as each unique Àavor fell into place in a perfect pro¿le. I can see why they are called ³dirty, dirty” – I must admit, I felt a little guilty with every nibble, but I didn’t really care. A second appetizer of half an avocado with micro-greens and house pesto had a simple, clean taste, but overall the Àavor could have used a bit of punching up for me. Just with salt it was helped tremendously, and I wonder if the addition of a good dose of lemon to the pesto, or more garlic, could achieve weightier results. Ever in search of a good burger, the Pickled Fish burger didn’t disappoint me with white cheddar, applewood smoked bacon, and house-made pickles. A house-made

brioche bun surprised me a little with its relatively sweet Àavor, which was a nice Àavor addition, although I thought the bun maybe a little soft, not quite capable of being sturdy enough to sandwich so many toppings. Overall, the burger was delicious, though, so I don’t feel right complaining about a detail as small as the bun, and the burger itself was cooked perfectly to my speculation of ³medium” doneness. In what I consider an unusual and fun twist, the restaurant also features wood-¿red oven pizzas, and the mushroom pizza, with caramelized onions, rosemary, garlic cream, and chevre was a wonderful departure. As my regular readers may remember, I despise

what I consider bizarre, near blasphemous pizza toppings, so I was equally pleased to see a traditional favorite, such as Margherita pizza with mozzarella, tomato and basil offered on the menu. The crust did seem relatively bland for my liking; I feel that any crust should be able to stand up on its own, relatively, if it was made to do so. Perhaps the addition of more herbs, or perhaps a fermented crust, would add drama? A sautéed wild Alaskan salmon entrée was fried until nearly crisp, which lent a crunchy, Àavorful punch, and was served atop a mixed grain salad with a caper aioli. Capers are used far too infrequently, I ¿nd, as are grains such as quinoa, and so the appearance of both was welcome. Overall, I found the dish to be wholesome, Àavorful and ¿lling. My only real quibble with the evening was something that others will probably view as a strength. The restaurant regularly features live music from both regional and national artists, and in the relatively small space, dinner-table conversation was nearly impossible once the music began. Although the music was enjoyable in its own right, it’s worth paying attention to the schedule of entertainment. If you are interested in visiting the restaurant with a quiet party of guests, it might be best to do so on an evening without live entertainment. Likewise, if the music scene is what you are interested in, the restaurant certainly accommodates that, too. All in all, Pickled Fish is a refreshing, different choice in our local culinary landscape, and I highly recommend that you visit.

RiverSea issues call to painting owners ASTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; RiverSea Gallery seeks paintings by the late Harry Bennett for inclusion in a retrospective exhibition celebrating his late career work, to be held at the gallery, opening May 10 and showing through June 3. An artist and illustrator of national recognition, Bennett was known for his joie de vivre and exuberant, expressionist paintings. He lived in Astoria for over two decades and was an inspiration. He moved from the area in 2008 and passed away in late 2012. It is hoped that many in the community will wish to share Bennett artwork from their personal collections for this retrospective in order to augment the collection already represented by the gallery so the broad scope of his work may be enjoyed.

Cloud & Leaf Bookstore hosts author Willy Vlautin to read from new novel
MANZANITA — Author Willy Vlautin plans to read from his latest novel, “The Free,” at 7 p.m. Saturday, April 12 at Cloud & Leaf Bookstore, 148 Laneda Ave. As with Vlautin’s previous novels, “The Motel Life,” “Northline” and “Lean on Pete,” “The Free” is a story of the downtrodden prevailing, at least in spirit, despite the soul-sapping conditions they endure. Jody Swanson, owner of Cloud & Leaf, wrote the following review of “The Free”: “’The Free,’ by Willy 9ODXWLQ LV PDJQL¿FHQW ,W LV about three people whose lives are intertwined by sad circumstances. There is Leroy, who has come home ZRXQGHG IURP ¿JKWLQJ LQ ,UDT DQG LV QRZ OLYLQJ LQ D group home; Freddie, the night watch at the home; and Pauline, the nurse who works at the hospital where Leroy eventually ends up. “Vlautin weaves back and forth through their lives and reveals the plights each are caught in. Through the telling of the story, the importance of each character’s decision not to give up is made clear. “Their struggles and how hard they each try to stay hopeful and not be defeated by lack of money, mental illness or the cruelty of others is

me about this. I use unusual objects in my work because they fascinate me. Victorian sea glass was once factory waste dumped over the sea cliffs in northeast England. It has been tumbling in the ocean for more than 100 years, creating one-of-a-kind shapes, colors and finishes. To me, that is more precious than a calibrated gemstone you could order off the Internet (although I do combine diamonds with sea glass in some of my work). The same goes for ancient coins. Most of those I use are more than 2,000 years old. Aside from their beauty, there is a definite sense of mystery and wonder involved! Tell me about something you’re currently working on or have recently finished. My current project: I have been exploring the patina process all winter – it is tricky. Patina is reaction of metals to air, salt and water over time. The metal changes colors as it ages. I have been experimenting with Japanese patina recipes, which include daikon radish, chemicals and copper pots. It is the least controllable, most elusive part of the finishing of a piece of jewelry. It embodies great mystery and magic.
JUDITH ALTRUDA
Born in Los Angeles and raised in the San Gabriel Valley, this professional jewelry maker now lives in Tokeland, Wash., and finds inspiration for her craft from the coastal environment. Where do you show your work? I show my jewelry at regional shows, on Etsy.com and at RiverSea Gallery in Astoria. I welcome guests who wish to make the trek to Tokeland and visit my studio. It’s usually by appointment only – however, my studio will be open to the public during the Tokeland Studio Tour from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 19. How did you get involved in jewelry making? What was it like to learn this craft? Though I have a degree from Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, I didn’t learn anything about jewelry making until an apprenticeship with a master goldsmith. I was fortunate to get on-thejob training for three years at his store, learning about many aspects of the business as well as honing my chops. What inspires your hand-crafted jewelry? Everything around me: the stones on the beach,
the colors of sea glass, the textures of rusted iron and driftwood. Ancient art and artifacts. Rusted shotgun shells and Jaggermeister bottle caps. How does texture play into your jewelry? Texture plays a huge role in what I make. It sets the feel – literally – of a piece. Gnarly textures are evocative of time and transformation. A journey. Some of the techniques I use include acid etching, reticulation (heat scarring of metal) and hammering. How long does it take to typically finish a piece? I have to say “that depends.” I make each piece one at time, and usually there are multiple processes involved – from texturing to forming, stone setting and patina. It can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, not counting the design time. You use some “unusual” objects in your pieces, such as Victorian sea glass. Tell
