In Oregon’s 1st Congressional District, women’s earnings are 76 percent of men’s — an even wider pay gap. This means that, locally, women are paid 76 cents for every dollar paid to men; a woman holding a full-time, full-year local job is paid

ASTORIA — The Lower Columbia Diversity Project and the Astoria and Seaside chapters of the American Association of University Women invite the public to a panel discussion on wage inequality from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 12. The panel will include Jeanne Atkins, Oregon’s new secretary of state; Barbara Byrd, Oregon AFLCIO; Raahi Reddy of the Labor Education Research Center; Shawna Sykes of the Oregon Employment Department; Constance Waisanen of Thrivent Financial; and Tongue Point Job Corps students Blanca Diaz and Chantel Orr. According to the most recent statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau, the median earnings for U.S. women

$41,596 per year while a man is paid $55,023. This amounts to a yearly wage gap of $14,027 between full-time working men and women. Progress to close the gap has stalled during the last decade, and the gap is even larger for women of color and for working mothers. Atkins is Oregon’s 25th secretary of state. She was sworn in on March 11. Gov. Kate Brown appointed her to fill the vacancy left when Brown became Oregon’s 38th governor. A veteran state administrator, Congressional staffer and women’s rights advocate, Atkins is a committed public servant who’s spent her entire career in public service and non-profit organizations. This free discussion of wage inequality will take place at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, located at 857 Commercial St. For more information, write to lcdiversityproject@gmail. com, or call 503-325-1895.

In praise of topsoil

Dig in If you’re a novice gardener and yearn to talk the talk, here are three garden-related buzz words you can drop into gardening conversations: Amending: adding different materials into the topsoil to enhance it, maintaining its healthy balance. Mulch: can be inorganic or organic material. It’s a protective cover spread over the top of a garden’s soil. Working its way into the soil, among many other things, it inhibits weeds, controls soil temperatures, and conserves water. Compost: an organic material that when piled, heats then percolates along, growing from a large pile of, for example, kitchen waste, decomposing into a much smaller, more compact pile. When mixed into the soil, it conditions it and adds nutritional value.

I

To know it is to love it It’s officially spring. To most gardeners that means it’s officially gardening season. For the experienced gardener, tending to the soil is an ongoing labor of love. But it’s in the spring that many of us, whether novice or well-seasoned growers, yearn to dig in. Vegetable gardens, hanging baskets, window boxes, raised beds, plots and patches — let the growing begin. For the seasonal gardening wanna-bes (author included), here, from the ground up, is the guaranteed key to gardening success: just one word — soil! Memorize it. Learn to love it. It will love you back. Soil and topsoil seem to get used interchangeably, and that’s okay. But while we’re talking terms, don’t be confused by the often swapped usage of “soil” for “dirt” and vice versa — not okay. Soil is soil; it isn’t dirt. “Dirt is what you get under your fingernails, while soil is the thin, living skin that covers the land. Plants rely on soil to grow,” says AG-Mazing News, an educational program of the Maryland Agricultural Education Foundation. Gardening professionals, home gardeners and most soil-specific websites agree. Pat Megonigal, curator and soil ecologist at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center and a member of the Soil Science Society of America, explains that “soil is the compilation of minerals, air, water, animals and other living matter (and their wastes or decaying bodies),” as reported by ScienceNews magazine when the Smithsonian’s “Dig It!” soils exhibit opened in 2008. Specific to landscaping and yard gardens (no containers), the best part of the soil, from a plant’s outlook anyway, is the rich, fertile topsoil. Under it — down deep — lays inorganic rock. Thousands of years have and are continually breaking that rock down into teensy, tiny little specks of sand, clay or silt and working their way up and out. Around the Columbia-Pacific region, Seaside and the surrounding area have a sand-based soil; in Astoria, it’s clay; and on the Long Beach Peninsula in Washington, it’s sand. But just to keep gardeners from taking soil for granted, “You might also find gloppy, heavy clay-based soil where you would expect to find it and then just a few feet away find a sand base with a spring under it,” says Cannon Beach sand-based landscape designer Beth Holland.

Above: Brian and Karen Radditz stand in the yard of their Gearhart home. Because most of the ground in their backyard is sand-based, the couple builds their soil using a combination of composting and augmenting the compost with potting soils. Right: The Radditzes use newspaper placed over the soil to keep weeds down during the winter. The newspaper composts into the soil over time.

“We now have microscopes that can look into the soil. These computer generated ‘eyes’ can analyze what’s going on and understand just how interconnected everything is,” Holland continues. When all is working well, local sand or clay topsoil mixes with organic ingredients. This base provides a plant’s root systems someplace to call home; get fed; get oxygen, water and various nutrients; and offers insulation from temperature variations. Linda Brim from Brim’s Farm and Garden in Astoria compares soil to the human digestive system. “When we eat, our gut breaks down what we’ve ingested then distributes it to specific needs throughout our bodies. Components of soil are providing the same things to plants,” she says. Home gardener Karen Radditz and her husband, Brian, tend to nine raised vegetable beds. Everything they amend into their soil they make or gather themselves. The couple composts kitchen waste throughout the year, and every winter they head to the beach to gather and then shred sea kelp to mulch their beds. Their vegetables are legend. Pam Fleming, owner of Nature’s Helper, is the landscape designer and keeper of the more than 100 small gardens that flourish along Broadway in downtown Seaside. For gardening questions and answers, she suggests consulting websites, gardening-specific videos, and best of all Oregon State University’s Clatsop County Extension Service in Astoria, home of the highly regarded master gardener’s program.

Learn to grow healthy soils Carolina Lees, a dedicated organic coastal vegetable farmer of Corvus Landing Farm in Neskowin, will discuss the basics and share strategies for building healthy garden soils in her talk, “Growing Healthy Soils” from 11:15 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. Saturday, April 11 at the Clatsop County Master Gardener’s annual Spring into Gardening event at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds. (For more on the event, turn to Page 12.)

Contact them at www.extension.oregonstate.edu/clatsop or 503-325-8573. If they don’t have the answer to your gardening-related question, they will find it. Mary Blake is the retired general manager for the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District. An ardent community gardener, in a recent Daily Astorian interview, Blake said, “After observation, it’s all about your soil. I believe my soil is the soul of my garden. The healthier your soil, the healthier your garden.” “Gardening is good for the soul,” agrees Colleen Frericks, owner of Peninsula Landscape.

Meet Your Farmer

our climate isn’t warm enough to grow food,� she says. Retzlaff and Kelly Huckestein, produce manager at the Astoria Co-op Grocery, second this notion. They will be teaming up to give a special workshop on plant varieties best suited to our growing region. Many frustrated gardeners look at our wet gray climate and assume there’s not much that we can grow and bring to the table. But as Huckestein, who will soon be starting her own Spring Up Farm, says, “We just need to focus on all the things that we can grow here. We’ll be sharing some of the unique growing opportunities of our area. For instance, we have a mild winter — we don’t have those killing frosts of other regions.� As Retzlaff adds, “Our climate is great for leafy greens — chards, lettuces, kales, snap and pod peas, some beans — things that have really high nutritional value. We just don’t have the longer seasons and the warmth that tomatoes, eggplant and peppers require.� (Those veggies do best in a greenhouse.) And, as those of us on the Long Beach Peninsula know, anybody can grow potatoes. Several years ago, master gardener Sandy Bradley bought hundreds of pounds of potato sets and drove up and down the peninsula helping people new to gardening take out grass and put in potatoes. There was a bumper crop that year.

‘The whole idea for this year’s event is understanding good food, buying and eating locally, and having more control over our food

You can also come and Meet Your Farmer. As NCFW founder and director Teresa Retzlaff of 46 North Farm says, “We generally do this event as a stand alone, but we decided to combine it with the master gardener event this year.

Green Living

But whether you have a green thumb or not, we all need to eat. And as master gardener Trenary says, “We’re hoping to encourage more people to be aware of local food. The whole idea for this year’s event is understanding good food, buying and eating locally, and having more control over our food choices.�

However, there is another aspect of gardening that will be emphasized on April 11, and that’s the simple pleasure of having a beautiful yard. Trenary says, “I grow herbs because I like them — they are low maintenance. Sometimes we say masters gardeners don’t have great gardens but they can tell you how to make great gardens. Some have great gardens and some don’t, and I’m somewhere in between. Ann Goldeen is a much more motivated gardener for instance. But I have my scene. “I don’t try to create more every year. I just tend my herbs. I grow them to eat and for fragrance,â€? she says. Some of Trenary’s favorites are lovage, marjoram, rosemary, mints, bergamot, bee balm, calendula, Veronica, chives, and cat mint. “I think lovage is just a fabulous thing — it comes on so early and grows 6 to 8 feet tall. I just love lovage.

I have to have a green space.â€? So whether you want tips on growing kale, how to pickle cukes, what veggies to dry or freeze, where to buy the best tomatoes, or just how to create a little green space for yourself, the Clatsop County Fairgrounds will provide the answers.

Healthy lettuce wraps

Combine edamame and walnuts for savory vegan taco ‘meat’ By MELISSA D’ARABIAN Associated Press For my daughter’s 10th birthday, I took 15 giggling girls to dinner at a Japanese steakhouse. Let that sink in for a moment. Because I probably could stop right here and let this column just explore the wisdom of that parenting decision. And in case you were wondering what the right number of fourth graders is to

take out for a teppanyaki dinner, the answer is not 15. If you’ve been to a teppanyaki restaurant, you know that the chefs put on a spectacle for the diners, cooking the meal tableside on giant griddles — spinning knives, tossing utensils, drumming out rhythmic beats with oversized salt and pepper shakers, and dazzling the crowd with their stacks of onions lit into volcanos. But the exciting theat-

rics were not the highlight of the evening. Turns out it was the bowls of edamame that thrilled the girls most. Steamed soybeans beat out ÀDPLQJ SRRIV RI RLO IXHOHG ¿UH :KR NQHZ" :KHWKHU WKH JLUOV IHOW trendy squeezing the little beans out of the pods and into their mouths or actually MXVW ORYHG WKH PLOG ÀDYRU DQG ¿UP WH[WXUH ,œP QRW VXUH %XW everyone seemed to love edamame. The good news is edamame don’t just appeal to young girls. They are delicious and nothing at all like tofu (the better known soy food). And frozen edamame are available at nearly every grocery store these days, which means this nutritious bean can easily join your home cooking repertoire. And a half cup of shelled edamame has about 10 grams of SURWHLQ DQG JUDPV RI ¿EHU

with just 100 calories. To showcase edamame’s versatility, I’ve created this recipe for edamame and walnut lettuce wraps. Though Japanese in spirit, it skews Mexican in flavor. I pair tasty, firm edamame with crunchy walnuts and some spices to make a cold vegetarian “meat� for lettuce wraps or tacos. Vegans will love this recipe, but so will meat-lovers. I mix up a batch of the filling, then eat it for lunch or snacks for several days, reminding me that edamame are so much more than just a teppanyaki prelude. Food Network star Melissa d’Arabian is an expert on healthy eating on a budget. She is the author of the cookbook, “Supermarket Healthy.� http://www.melissadarabian.net

Pair firm edamame with crunchy walnuts and some spices to make a cold vegetarian “meat� for lettuce wraps or tacos.

1/2 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt Sliced radishes Lime wedges Directions: To prepare the cucumber-avocado salsa, in a medium bowl toss together all ingredients. Set aside. To prepare the filling, in a food processor combine the edamame, walnuts, cumin and chili powder. Pulse until finely chopped but still a little chunky. Add the jarred salsa and lime juice and pulse another 5 to 10 times to bind the mixture. If the mixture is too dry, add water 1 teaspoon at a time until the consistency is to your liking. To assemble, place 2 lettuce leaves on each serving plate. Add about 1/4 cup the edamame mixture to the center of each leaf. Top with 1 tablespoon of the cucumber-avocado salsa, 1 tablespoon of the yogurt, radish slices and a squeeze of lime.

to the more usual down-cycling approach to recycling. With “The Book Unbound,” Wilson found a creative way to up-cycle books that might otherwise be discarded into the waste stream, while at the same time benefiting the local library. North Tillamook Library in Manzanita is a special partnership between the community and the county. The Tillamook County Library System supplies the books, employees and technology. The building, land and maintenance are the responsibility of the North Tillamook Library Friends. Thus, contributions from the community become critical as the building ages and helps keep the library a strong community resource.

Michelle Svendsen, who co-owns North Jetty Brewing with her husband, Erik, in Seaview, Washington, cleans a tank in the brewery. The brewery’s taproom will celebrate its oneyear anniversary April 10 to 12.

Anniversary celebration on tap for North Jetty Brewing SEAVIEW, Wash. — North Jetty Brewing’s brewhouse expansion will be complete by mid April. This upgrade from a 1.5-barrel system to a 10-barrel system will more than triple the brewery’s production and help with distribution. Currently, North Jetty Brewing is available in 10 counties in Washington and Oregon. Distribution consists of Kendall’s Pioneer Distributing, Fort George Brewery, and self distribution on the Long Beach Peninsula. While North Jetty has been brewing at its location at 4200 Pacific Way for over 2.5 years, the taproom is coming up on its first anniversary. The anniversary weekend will kick off Fri-

day, April 10 with alternative country and Americana Portland band Thin Rail playing live music. The celebration weekend will continue through Sunday with tours, specials and giveaways. Taproom hours for this event are from 2 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday and from 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday. This family-owned and operated brewery and taproom has 18 taps, allows outside food in and will be gaining a food cart in May. Street Side Tacos 2.0 will open in mid May, and the taproom will expand its hours to include lunch. Find more information on the North Jetty Brewing Facebook page or call 360-642-4234.

Clatsop County needs more exposure to the importance of early childhood programs because it is critically underserved.” Rounding out the night will be refreshments donated by Serendipity Café, Home Bakery and Kick Ass Coffee, along with live music by Maggie and the Cats.

Brenna Safe will perform “I’ve Got the Music in Me” in Tillamook on Friday, April 10.

‘Toys in the Attic’ take over RiverSea Gallery Jill McVarish, Roger McKay offer two-person art show ASTORIA — In “Toys in the Attic,” Astoria artists Jill McVarish and Roger McKay offer a series of curiously charming paintings of favorite toys, evoking memories of childhood play and adventure in a show at RiverSea Gallery from Saturday, April 11 through May 5. A show unveiling and preview party with themed refreshments will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday, April 10 and is open to all who would like to meet the artists and get an early look at the show. A second reception will be held Saturday, April 11 during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk with music by the Beerman Creek String Band. In a dusty attic long ago and far away, a group of toys has been cast aside for far too long. Left to their own devices, they take a wild romp through a series of daring adventures. Popeye and

McVarish has been exhibiting as an artist since graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1993. She moved to Astoria in 2007 and is a represented artist at RiverSea where she has exhibited since 2012. “Toys in the Attic” is her third show at the gallery. In the past year she has shown in Portland galleries and currently, she has a solo exhibit at the Portland International Airport through June. Her work is in both private and corporate collections throughout the United States. Locally, her series of commissioned

paintings with a quirky take on iconic films is on view at the Riverwalk Inn. McKay is a long-time Astoria resident and an artist known for working in many styles. In this latest series of oil paintings he turns his attention to fine detail while venturing into absurdly delightful subject matter and poking fun at a few social mores. A passion for all manner of old collectibles combined with a mischievous sense of humor adds dimension to his work. His background combines a formal art education from Portland’s Museum Art School in the early 1960s with many years spent as a wood carver, sign maker and muralist. McKay is perhaps best known locally for his commissioned murals, which can be found at the Astoria Aquatic Center, Fort Astoria Park and the Heritage Museum. RiverSea Gallery is located at 1160 Commercial St. For more information, call 503-325-1270 or visit riverseagallery.com

She spent years training as a pianist, learning the only way to reach your goals was through focus and practice. Ten years as a professional pianist came to a halt when she developed a rotator cuff injury. In the successful attempt to heal, Collins transitioned to work as a Ki-Hara stretching trainer and teacher trainer. Collins has taught in 11 states,

the Virgin Islands, England, Italy and Mexico. Her work includes classes, retreats and online seminars. Cost for the workshop is $45 and includes a signed copy of her book, “Life Renovations: How to Feel Alive.” Participants should dress in comfortable clothes for stretching.

theme to explore far-flung realms of childhood imagination, mixing in historic and contemporary cultural references in all manner of improbable scenes. Together, they’ve come up with a clever mix of paintings that capture the absurdity implied by “toys in the attic,”

a euphemism for insanity, while also tugging impossible dreams and imaginary tales left over from childhood. Working in oil on linen or burlap, McVarish enlivens each painting with the glowing color and complex, layered depth seen in works by 17th century Dutch masters, evidence of her post-graduate schooling in Amsterdam. She was entranced early on by illustrations in children’s books, which she collects to this day.

RiverZen hosts workshop

ASTORIA — Are you looking for your next big life change? The RiversZen Yoga and Ki-Hara Studio is sponsoring a Life Renovations Workshop with Carrie Collins from 2 to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 12 at 399 31st St. on the Riverwalk. The workshop includes Ki-Hara resistance stretching,

a technique that uses a person’s own resistance in the strengthening and elongating of muscles, along with meditation and journaling to help you write the blueprint for a vibrant future. Collins grew up in a world where obesity and complacency were viewed as normal and ambition was considered alien.

Plot Notes: By the time she was 11 years old, Rosemary Cooke had essentially become the only child of her psychically stunted parents after her two older siblings have disappeared — one by choice, the other by force. Her brother, Lowell, an activist, is wanted by the FBI and her unusual adopted sister, Fern, has been banished from the home. By the time she is a student at UC

By RYAN HUME

6XQVHW >V‫ݞ‬Q V‫ܭ‬W@ noun 1. The act, event or time of day when the sun slips behind the horizon. Syn: sundown, nightfall 2. Sunset Highway: a segment of U.S. Highway 26 that winds through the Coast Range; officially between the Vista Ridge Tunnels in Port-

Davis in 1996, Rosemary has grown quiet at the world’s insistence. It is through this quiet that she learns to avoid picking at her family’s distant but gaping wounds. Though, when her brother arrives unexpectedly, Rosemary is forced to find a voice that will allow her to examine her past, her own culpability in it and to trace the conclusions of those faraway actions into the present. Take Away: As Leo Tolstoy wrote in the oft-quoted opening to “Anna Karenina”: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.” Thus, literature is obsessed with unhappy families. Though it is important to remember there is no rule stating that just because the family as subject is unhappy that the reader should be too. Folwer’s sixth novel exemplifies this paradox. While the unraveled Cooke clan is certainly unique in its unhappiness, there’s no better companion into the fold than Fowler’s narrator, Rosemary Cooke, whose voice is crisp, witty, whimsical and often very funny. Recounted from the viewpoint of 2012, the narrative effortlessly dips into the pivotal years of 1979 and 1996 to concoct a buried and bruised love story that will widen your definition of family and land on the east and the interchange terminus with U.S. 101 on the west several miles south of Seaside 3. Sunset Empire: An informal nickname for the North Coast of Oregon that originated in the mid-20th century Origin: Sun: Current spelling developed from the Old English sunne around 1325, rising from multiple Germanic roots. Set: Mutated from the Old English settan, meaning “to sit or fix firmly,” by 1121. Sunset is first noted in use before 1393, some

pluck on your heart strings. Recommended For: This book is the rare creature that would be just as welcome at the beach as it would be on a rainy day. Bonus: Karen Joy Folwer will read and sign her books at the annual Get Lit at the Beach event in Cannon Beach this upcoming weekend of April 10 to 12. Other featured guests include Gail Tsukyama, Nancy Pearl, Jim Lynch and Terry Brooks.
