Sweet Basil’s Cafe hosts blues player Lloyd Jones CANNON BEACH — Sweet Basil’s CafÊ in Cannon Beach will host blues player Lloyd Jones at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 2. This Portland roots artist has recorded six critically acclaimed albums, toured internationally and racked up dozens of major awards and accolades. Enthusiastic crowds can’t get enough of his swampy blues, his back porch picking, his funk, soul, roadhouse two-beats, and oldschool rhythm and blues. Yet he may be the most invisible, bestkept blues and Americana secret on the contemporary scene. Jones is a master of the soulful understatement, the raw growl and the groove. From his roots in muddy Oregon soil, he’s forged a 30-plusyear career as an impassioned singer and guitar slinger, a soulful songwriter, a bandleader, record producer and an almost strident torchbearer for all that’s true and good about America’s music. He’s shared stages and spotlights with Albert Collins, Cray, Raitt, Delbert McClinton, Taj Mahal, B.B. King, Dr. John, John Hammond, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, and a hundred more. And, except for Albert and Junior, Jones’ timeless, VZDPSL¿HG $PHULFDQ VRQJwriting style is tailor-made for dancing.

Lloyd Jones will perform at Sweet Basil’s Cafe in Cannon Beach on May 2.

McClinton said, “When I heard Lloyd Jones live for the ÂżUVW WLPH LQ -DQXDU\ LW was like exhaling after holding my breath for 15 years!â€? When he plays Sweet Basils, the room gets quiet, people stop eating and all eyes turn to the bluesman in the corner of the room. Jones delivers a night of joy, fun and outstanding music. He is no poser; no youngster who copped a couple of quick blues licks and headed for the big time with a cocky swagger and a brand-new Strat. You see it in his face when he plays — the ear-to-ear grin, the soul-gripping grimace when he bites off another stinging note. Sweet Basils is located at 271 N. Hemlock St. For inforPDWLRQ FDOO

s Spring Unveiling approaches its 15th year, Kim Barnett, owner of Bronze Coast Gallery, recalled one his favorite moments from festivals passed. “Jeff Hull hand painted what appeared to be an old fence with knot-holes in it, out of canvas,� said Barnett. “He blocked off a section of the gallery with this canvas fence and people were just anxious. People would come and could peek through the knot holes. And rather than unveiling a single piece, he unveiled his entire gallery. “I thought it was pretty brilliant,� Barnett added. “It was one of those things that shows the innovation of artistic people.�

Coordinated for spring

Indeed, Spring Unveiling, Cannon Beach’s second-longest running arts festival, hems quite literally to its name. It is an invitation to get out of the house after a (usually) rainy winter and join artists bringing their new works to the world. As such, Spring Unveiling is pointedly different than Stormy Weather, the city’s original — and eldest — arts fest. “The Stormy Weather event is really not a coordinated event between the galleries,â€? said BarQHWW Âł6SULQJ 8QYHLOLQJ ZDV WKH Âż UVW RSSRUWXQLW\ to coordinate the timing of the unveilings to allow all of the patrons to move throughout the city and throughout the different galleries and get an opportunity to see each piece being unveiled if they chose to do that.â€? In other words, by not scheduling the unveilings concurrently, Spring Unveiling creates more individual events, focusing the spotlight on one artist or gallery at a time. The idea came from Debbie Roberts, a gallery owner in Cannon Beach who has since moved on.

“Debbie had been doing Spring Unveiling in a smaller way in the little town she started in,â€? said Barnett. She shared how the concept had excited interest in galleries in another small town: Joseph, Oregon. “A few us got together,â€? said Barnett, “Jeff Hull, myself, Debbie and a few other people. We got together an informal group of galleries to disFXVV LW D OLWWOH IXUWKHU DQG WKHQ Ă€ XVKHG LW RXW WR WU\ and put something together.â€? At the time, Stormy Weather was already over D GHFDGH ROG DQG DV VXFK %DUQHWW DQG WKH Ă€ HGJ OLQJ JURXS NQHZ DUW DÂż FLRQDGRV ZHUH RSHQ WR WKH idea of traveling to Cannon Beach for a festival. So, in 1999, Spring Unveiling kicked off. “It was small to start with,â€? Barnett remembered. “Just like every event, it takes some time.â€? Now, almost 15 years later, Spring Unveiling is part of Cannon Beach’s tradition. “From a personal basis,â€? said Barnett, “it’s like, where has the time gone?â€?

Artist connect

For the last decade, Christopher Mathie has been more than just showing his work in Cannon Beach — he’s been drawing inspiration from it. “I’m drawn to the ocean,â€? said Mathie, who resides in the country outside Seattle. “Anytime I can get to the ocean I’m going to go there. And when we came here I realized that this is an amazing place for art WRR ,WÂśV D SHUIHFW Âż W ´ In textured acrylics, Mathie creates bold, elemental abstractions and seascapes.

scenes that can be found in Cannon Beach’s galleries, Mathie’s eschew any actual locations. “I’m creating more from an emotional place,â€? he explained. “I don’t really care about reality with the way I paint. I don’t look at a photo and try to create realism at all.â€? And what inspiration Mathie draws from the ocean, too, may be unconventional. “Most people go to the water for calm,â€? he said. “But I go to it for uncontrolled, unbridled energy — just total mass release.â€? For Spring Unveiling, Mathie will show some 20 new pieces at White Bird Gallery. As much as it is about debuting the work, Mathie also looks forward to spending time with the audience. Cannon Beach, he says, offers an ideal setting. “If I do an opening in Seattle or in Portland people are in a hurry,â€? Mathie said. “They’re in and out, and they don’t really hang. Here at a festival people are actually leisurely, and you can actually talk to them for a long time. And in my experience I’ve made friends with a lot of them. I actually have coffee with them when I go to where they’re at, or when they come to ZKHUH ,ÂśP DW ´ 6XFK LQWHUDFWLRQV DUH IXOÂż OOLQJ WR Mathie in more than just the obvious commercial sense. “It means a lot for me as an artist because you’re connecting with people,â€? he said. “And I think the collectors feel that. They look at a piece of art and feel something, and then they meet the artist and they go, ‘Oh my god, that artist, they do resonate with me — it’s more than the piece of art, but the artist themselves.’â€? That assertion was borne out moments later, as Mathie happened to meet a buyer of one of his works who happened to be in Cannon Beach at the same time to pick it up.

“It was just a wonderful treat to get to meet him and to like him so much,� said Julie Frantz, the buyer, “because he is the man who created this piece of art that I love that is going to hang in my living room for as many decades as I have left.� For Frantz, the interaction put a cherry on top. “Now I have this additional, really good feeling about the piece of work and it adds an extra depth and dimension to the work because of getting such a genuine, strong, engaged impression from him about his work and where it comes from,� she said. Furthermore, what Fratz gleaned from the piece was right on. “It doesn’t appear as he was trying to do anything,� Frantz said. “Rather, he was creating what he felt and saw. And that, I think, is what communicates the feeling that I felt, back to the painting when it pulled me in. “It’s also not two-dimensional because of that,� Frantz added. “It has this depth — it’s not like taking a photograph and transferring it to painting. It has this depth of feeling and engagement.�

Demos, receptions and chef creations

Over the weekend 10 participating galleries will show new works, though each will do it in its own way.

As for marking the 15th anniversary, however, nothing particular is planned — the regular festivities will be celebration in and of themselves. “It’s nice that it’s had longevity, and the individuals who come to the shows seem to enjoy it, and the artists who come seem to enjoy it,� said Barnett. “It’s a wonderful way to get new work into the galleries and new energy and focus on the artists when they do come.�

Tacos El Catrin

The Mouth enjoyed a carne asada taco and found the cheese tamale, made with three kinds of cheese, to be an understated star.

The mole sauce was rich, robust and finely balanced in this mole chicken dish.

Serving traditional Mexican dishes made from scratch

Don’t judge a book by its cover. And by that same token, don’t overlook a restaurant in a strip mall. To do so would be to miss out on Tacos El Catrin, one of the more exciting developments in dining on the North Coast. Now, before I explain what Tacos El Catrin is, it might help to explain what it isn’t. Tacos El Catrin is not the safe, staid, homogenized, Americanized Mexican restaurant that’s been photocopied across the land. You know the type I mean, offering 20 different versions of the “combo menuâ€?; two tacos and an enchilada, a burrito and a tamale, two tacos and a burrito, and VR RQ WR LQÂż QLW\ Tacos El Catrin isn’t that.

Our waitress was helpful, boisterous and rightfully proud of the menu. “Everything is homemade,â€? she said, “the chorizo, the salsa — even the beans don’t come from a can.â€? Now, I would be remiss to say that I did not try the taco or burrito — I had them both. And while I have no qualms with either — and the chicken in the burrito was perfectly cooked, just slightly blackened on the edges — the real joys of Tacos El Catrin are in the paths less traveled.

It was hot, soft, and not overly mealy, with a perk of poblano pepper in the center.

Along with daily specials and eggy breakfast dishes like huevos rancheros, there were many more entrÊes I wanted to try — and will yet — but I was entranced by the pazole and menudo, which are only available on weekends, as the slow-cooked soups/stews require extended time to prepare and cook. Now, call me a sucker, but there’s something

about such scarcity that gets me going, so I returned Saturday evening. By that point, around 7 p.m., the day’s allotment of menudo had sold out. Thankfully, there was some pazole left. With a base of hominy (dried corn kernels that, after an alkali process, puff up like a slightly larger chickpea) and slow-cooked pork, pazole is an Aztec recipe with great — and wild — ritual significance.

tween soup and stew. Its textures danced blissfully from bite to bite, from the crispness of the lettuce and cabbage to the buttery smooth avocado, to the crunchy tortilla and supple hominy. All the while, the pork was so soft it seemed to multiply, separating each time my spoon stirred the broth. With dinner I had a blue mint margarita, which combined light and dark tequila, blue curacao and fresh mint with a sugar rim. Like the food — and the restaurant itself — the drink was vividly colored. I enjoyed the zest of the mint, though at $10 it was over-priced. The food, however, was a great value. Tacos El Catrin, which opened last September, is helmed by chef Enrique Reyes, who spent the previous nine years in the kitchen of Cannon Beach’s Stephanie Inn. And while it seems Reyes’ current vision — which he’s absolutely executing — is to serve traditional dishes made from scratch, it’s not hard to imagine him innovating down the line. Nonetheless, he’s off to a tremendous start. The North Coast, particularly outside of Astoria, needs more restaurants like Tacos El Catrin. It’s as inspiring as it is inspired.

HOURS: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday; closed Mondays. PRICE: $ – EntrÊes are all around $10. SERVICE: Bright, friendly and engaging. VEGETARIAN/VEGAN OPTIONS: Pretty good. A number of dishes can include meatless options. DRINKS: Beer, wine, margaritas and soft drinks.

In the Painting From the Inside Out workshop held at Tolovana Arts Colony this June, participants will focus on the process and experience of painting rather than technique.

Learn to paint from the inside out at Tolovana Arts Colony CANNON BEACH — “Life is a creative process,� says Anne Pechovnik one of the facilitators of Painting From the Inside Out, an upcoming workshop at Tolovana Arts Colony this June. By focusing on the experience of creating, rather than technique, in this workshop artists and non-artists have the chance to explore what engages and what limits their creative energy. Painting From the Inside Out will be held from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, June 5 and continue from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, June 6. “What one learns in the workshop applies not just to making art but to living as a whole,� Pechovnik says. “In fact, many participants may have no art experience or aspirations and attend simply seeking growth and personal insight.� Using tempera paints and large sheets of paper, participants paint from their own inspiration and at their own pace. Discussions, both individual and group, focus on the experience of the painting, not the paintings themselves. In order to create a safe and respectful environment, participants agree not to comment on one another’s work. Facilitator Aziza Balle says, “There’s nothing that you have to do

correctly. You get to just paint. There is so much permission. It’s a very freeing experience.â€? Balle and Pechovnik,both based in Portland, are trained under Stewart Cubley, founder of The Painting Experience and coauthor of the book “Life, Paint and Passion.â€? Through her studio, Paint to Discover, Balle has been facilitating process painting for over six years in a number of settings including agencies, classrooms and adult care facilities. She has experience with a range of populations including children and adolescents, the elderly, persons experiencing illnesses and dementia, and those in 12-step programs. 3HFKRYQLN RI 3DWKÂżVK 6WXdio, has been leading workshops in her home studio since 2012. She is a nurse and a zen practitioner. “All of my experience comes into play facilitating painters,â€? she says. “Process painting is meditation on paper. It offers not just insight but opportunities to exercise new and underdeveloped ways of moving toward what feels most alive.â€? To register, contact Lisa at Tolovana Arts Colony by calling 503-440-0684 by May 22. The $99 fee includes tuition and all materials.

judges will award one the best salsa in Astoria. The Astoria Art Loft will have a booth outside where they will provide complimentary kid’s face painting and other arts and craft activities. Although many people mistake Cinco de Mayo as being Mexico’s Independence Day, the holiday is

actually a celebration of a victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Over the years, however, the holiday, which is arguably more popular in the U.S. than in Mexico, has evolved into less of a commemoration of that victory and more into a day of cultural celebration. That is the spirit in which this event is planned.

70 Help Wanted Reporter Make a splash in business journalism by joining the reporting staff of the ambitious Coast River Business Journal, located where the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean meet. This is a highly dynamic and story-filled place, where Portlanders and Seattleites come to make their dreams of coastal living come true. You should arrive here with polished writing skills, a strong work ethic and robust curiosity to delve into the professional lives of some of the Pacific Northwestʼs most creative and imaginative business people. Working in partnership with colleagues at the Chinook Observer, The Daily Astorian, Seaside Signal and Cannon Beach Gazette, Coast River Business Journal produces a monthly print publication. With your geographical beat spanning Clatsop County, Ore., and Pacific County, Wash., you can choose to live on the Long Beach Peninsula, Astoria or Oregonʼs North Coast. While this position is managed from Long Beach, you will also sometimes work from our Astoria and Seaside offices. An important aspect of this job is providing business coverage to several publications, each with a different environment. There will be aspects of breaking business news, in-depth business reporting and “main street” business news. Part of your job will be to continue ramping up our online content for timely and expansive coverage of business news. Healthcare is one of our regionʼs rapidly expanding economic sectors and we want to hear your ideas about how to cover it in ways that are useful to those in the caring professions, as well as engaging for the community members they serve. We have a rising tide of young and second-career entrepreneurs starting new craft breweries, restaurants, retail stores, galleries and online businesses. You will need to be as engaged and creative as they are. Our traditional industries — tourism to forestry, seafood to homes sales/construction, farming of everything from organic vegetables to legal marijuana — all are wide awake and gaining renewed momentum in a fastexpanding regional economy. Weʼll expect you to dig well beyond the superficial and explain where these industries are going, and why. Our coast is comfortable and still affordable. It's a place where our reporters and their families purchase homes and settle in for careers that are richly connected to the Northwest interior. Part of your job will be exploring and explaining the growing ties between our coast and the cities of Puget Sound and northwest Oregon. We offer a competitive wage, a generous benefit package, and a warm and friendly office environment in Mac-based buildings. We work hard but have fun — the ocean beach is a short stroll from our Long Beach and Seaside offices. We enjoy world-class restaurants, fantastic salmon and deep-sea fishing, amazing wildlife and bird watching, and many other outdoor activities. Portland is two and a half hours; Seattle three hours. Benefits include Paid Time Off (PTO), insurances and a 401(k)/Roth 401(k) retirement plan.

The Arc Arcade I can’t seem to help myself. Every time I walk by the Arc Arcade on Commercial Street in Astoria, I duck inside for a quick free play on Missile Command, my favorite arcade game as a teenager and the only one I was pretty good at. And why not play? Why not take five minutes to instantly transport yourself to a time in your life that was far less complicated and probably more enjoyable? Until the Arc opened last year, I

On my most recent visit, the Arc was teeming with people of all ages, and there was a palpable happiness floating through the space. The scene reminded me just how much hanging out in arcades is a community-minded activity that creates unique social interactions among participants, many of whom are completer strangers to one another. It also struck me as fascinating to observe parents showing their children the video games they grew up playing. It’s even more fascinating to watch a few minutes later when the kid beats the parent at the parent’s beloved game. Matt Love is author/ editor of 13 books about Oregon.

Breakers Hotel was named by Joseph M. Arthur in 1900 on account of the land’s excellent view of the surf from a grassy ridge that pushed up against the beach. Prior to the incorporation of the city of Long Beach in 1922, Breakers (minus the definitive article) was officially its own town, with its own U.S. Post Office. Arthur kept a cattle herd, a poultry ranch and a garden to ensure his guests had access to the freshest meat and produce available. “The Breakers Hotel is located at Breakers Station, a regular ticket office, where all trains stop. It is one and a half miles north of Long Beach Station.” —Advertisement, “‘The Breakers’ Where to stop at North Beach,” Daily East Oregonian, Tuesday, July 21, 1903, P. 6
