Escape from North Korea
Seaside acts as finish line for Hood to Coast
Seaside library hosts Blaine Harden
Mother of all relays will end with music, fireworks, awards
SEASIDE — There will be a breakout on Aug. 29 with acclaimed author and journalist Blaine Harden as he tells the story of “Escape from Camp 14.� The Friends of the Seaside Library will host the event at 7 p.m., and it will take place in the Community Room of the Seaside Public Library. There will be book sales and signings presented by Beach Books. North Korea is isolated, hungry, bankrupt and belligerent. Between 150,000 and 200,000 people are being held in its political prison camps, which have existed twice as long as Stalin’s gulags and 12 times as long as Nazi concentration camps. Very few people who have been born and raised in these camps have escaped.
But Shin Dong-hyuk did. In “Escape from Camp 14� Harden tells the story of Shin Dong-hyuk and unlocks the secrets of the world’s most repressive totalitarian state. Shin knew nothing of civilized existence. He saw his mother as a competitor for food, guards raised him to be a snitch, and he witnessed the execution of his own family. The story of Shin’s life and remarkable escape is an inside account of one of the world’s darkest nations and a riveting tale of endurance, courage and survival. Harden worked for 28 years at the Washington Post as a correspondent in Africa, Eastern Europe and Asia. For four years, he was a local and national correspondent for The New York Times and a writer

The Astoria Sunday Market offers a fun day of outdoor activities for you and your dog
Dog lovers (and they’re legion on the North Coast) may be looking for ways to enjoy the outdoors with their pooches. Well, look no further. The Astoria Sunday Market has organized a special event that should delight canine-coveting types and market-goers in general. It will be a Dog Day Afternoon from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25, located adjacent to the market in the paved area near 12th and Exchange streets. Look for the signs. Local event sponsors – Astoria Sunday Market; The Pet Works; Trish Nevan, who puts out Bow-Wow!, a free monthly publication offering dog news for dog lovers; Clatsop Animal Assistance and the 4-H group Classic Canines – have planned activities DQG DPXVHPHQWV WKDW SURPLVH D ¿QH GD\ RXW for families and their furry friends during Dog Day Afternoon.

Classic Canines The 4-H club Classic Canines has been around since 1977. It was founded by Lisa Lilley, who was in the 4th grade at the time, and she served as the club’s primary leader for 28 years. Classic Canine members share an interest in dogs and enjoy training them. Their dog agility training equipment will be used at Dog Day Afternoon. The club is currently looking for new members. “Likely prospects are kids, grades 4 through 12, who have a dog and some time on their hands,” says Sally Freeman, club leader. Meetings are at 7 p.m. every Monday night at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds. If you’d like to know more, call Freeman at 503-325-7161.

One From Many to hold workshop and acoustic concert Practice instruments, learn about the music industry from Portland-based band
ASTORIA — Portland-based alternative band One From Many is excited to announce its plans to teach music workshops and play a series of special acoustic performances throughout the summer and fall to kickoff the release of the band’s new LP “The Alleged Album.” “These shows will provide a chance to get to know more than just our music,” the band says. “Think of a combination between ‘VH1 Unplugged’ and ‘VH1 Storytellers.’” The band will come to Astoria to teach a free music workshop aimed at youth ages 8 to 19 at the Clatsop Community College’s Performing Arts Center (PAC) starting at 6 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23. The workshop will let band members connect with young musicians, share their passion, and provide

a realistic glimpse into the music industry. One From Many will also spend some time going over the finer points of being in a band. Members have spent years learning things the hard way
and toiling in a new digital marketplace. Be prepared to jam a few tunes, chat in small groups about instrument choices and work with band members on separate instruments, including gui-
tar and bass. Although the workshop is intended for a younger audience, it will be open to the entire community at no cost, and the band encourages any who are interested to check it out. The workshop is firstcome, first-served. The PAC is located at 588 16th St., at Franklin Avenue in Astoria. Then, at 8 p.m., One From Many will hold an all ages acoustic concert at the PAC. Most of the band’s songs evolve from simple beginnings. Get ready to hear songs broken down to the bones and then built back up. There will be a cover fee of $10 pre-sale, available at http://ofmmusic.com, or $12 at the door. Combining a lust for lyrical content and a twisting passion for alternate tunings, One From Many has suddenly become a formi-
dable force in the Northwest alternative rock scene. The band’s first full-length album, “The Alleged Album,” showcases catchy, creative instrumentation with unhinged melodies. With standout tracks such as “Retrospective” and “Shape of Your Heart,” it has been hard to hide the buzz of what the album is sure to deliver to rock fans and non-rock fans alike. A collection of true friends, Josh McCormick (guitar), Joshua Elie (guitar), Joe Von Hagen (bass) and Andrew Supina (lead vocalist) are committed to writing songs that convey their multiple influences. The chemistry formed from
years working together and a spontaneous “family affair” writing style has left no room for pretense. They possess a passion for making quality music that conveys a message and keeps you coming back for more. The band will have free sampler CDs available at the Kick Ass Koffee Co. , available to any who wants one. Kick Ass Koffee Co. is located at 345 W. Marine Drive in Astoria; for more information, call 503-3250720. For more information about the music workshop and concert or about One From Many, email info@ olearecordspdx.com or band@ofmmusic.com

Pictured is a portion of the large mural by Jo Brown on the backside of downtown Astoria’s Sears building; you can see it from the Riverwalk. The mural depicts scenes of life in Astoria in 1925, including cannery workers, plenty of cats and trompe l’oeil pilings. Much of Brown’s artwork for the mural took its inspiration from a 1909 Sears, Roebuck and Co. catalog.

Seeking the creatures of the tide pool Continued from Page 3 empty directly into the ocean. Sheltered a little from heavy winds, the beach is a favorite among surfers; I saw a large number of them in the water, catching the waves. Numerous orange and red sea stars lay lazily in tide pools alongside the odd anemone, the sun warmed our faces and the brilliant blue sky stretched out above us. Speaking of tide pools, if you love looking at sea creatures like this, there are a few other local spots you can check out. During low tide, the base of the large rocks at the Cove in Seaside is a fun place to explore. <ou can ¿nd sea stars, hermit crabs and more, but use caution
– the area is known for sneaker waves. Tide pools also lie at the south end of Indian Beach at Ecola State Park in Cannon Beach. <ou can expect to ¿nd sea stars, anemones, mussels, barnacles, limpets, hermit crabs and more. Another popular spot is the iconic Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach. Tide pools at the base of the rock crawl with life, bird-lovers will also ¿nd plenty to look at, and volunteers from the Haystack Rock Awareness Program are around to answer questions. The best time to go tide pooling is one to two hours before low tide. And remember, though tide pools are beautiful and fascinating, they’re also fragile habitats, so be careful where you tread.

GEARHART — The Gravy will perform a delicious stew of Americana genres – funk, blues, soul and bluegrass – at a free concert at McMenamins Sand Trap Pub 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23. As a duo, Leah Hinchcliff and Andrew Maldarelli bring years of experience to The Gravy menu. The duo’s repertoire consists of beautifully crafted original songs with thoughtfully chosen covers to create a perfect show for all tastes. Since arriving on the scene in 2008, The Gravy has been delighting audiences throughout the Northwest with its rootsy yet innovative sound. The two friends formed the band because of their mutual love for acoustic music with a
soulful twist. Hinchcliff is a charming entertainer and a fiery, passionate performer. Her bass playing has been honed as a touring bassist for blues and funk bands while her gleeful command of “the doghouse” (aka upright bass) is a formidable pillar of The Gravy’s soulful foundation. Hinchcliff also contributes intricate harmonies and warm lead vocals. Maldarelli began his performing career in musical theater and Manhattan Transfer-style singing groups. He entertains audiences with his quick wit and charisma, while laying down rich and confident vintage guitar tones. Maldarelli’s voice, mellifluous and fluid, evokes the
warmth of James Taylor while maintaining the soul of Marvin Gaye. The duo sometimes adds Nancy Breaux on washboard or Jay Machamer on congas when they want to kick it up a notch. McMenamins Sand Trap Pub is located at 1157 N. Marion Ave. in Gearhart. For more information, call 503-717-8150.

ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park’s Fort Clatsop is pleased to announce a special free guest speaker event. Grey Snow Eagle House: Saving Injured Eagles presented by Victor Roubidoux at 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23. Grey Snow Eagle House (Bah Kho-Je Xla Chi) is the Iowa Tribe of Oklahoma’s eagle rehabilitation facility. Roubidoux’s presentation includes a virtual tour of the Grey Snow Eagle House as well as a talk about the Iowa Tribe’s work with bald eagles and golden eagles from Oklahoma and the rest of the United States. The Wildlife Center of the North Coast has partnered with Grey Snow Eagle House and invited Roubidoux to visit the local facility, mak-
ing this presentation possible. Roubidoux is the wildlife manager of Grey Snow Eagle House. This Vietnam veteran proposed the sanctuary after an eagle was injured in Oklahoma and had to be transferred to New Mexico because there was no place for it in Oklahoma. The facility was completed in 2006, and Roubidoux manages its programs and encourages other Indian tribes to develop similar programs. This special presentation is sponsored by the Wildlife Center of the North Coast, Lewis and Clark National Park Association and the park. It will be held in the Netul River Room of Fort Clatsop’s visitor center and is free of charge. For more information, call the park at 503-861-2471.

The Mouth eats out(side)
I
Check out three of the Mouthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite restaurants that will give you a wonderful outdoor dining experience
Is there a single sentence so instantly exciting as â&#x20AC;&#x153;letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eat outsideâ&#x20AC;?? Our imaginations quickly conjure up images of a warm (but not too warm) afternoon and a shady table under a tree, a linen tablecloth gently wafting in the breeze, a cool drink with lots of ice and beautiful plates of food that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem affected by the weather. And also, bugs that have mysteriously gone on holiday. In reality, though, as is all too common here on the coast, dining â&#x20AC;&#x153;al frescoâ&#x20AC;? can only begin on a rare day without wind or rain and with enough sun to be comfortable â&#x20AC;Ś and preferably with a view. Luckily for us, when such a day occurs, dining outside on our beautiful coastline is as close to heaven as we can wander. While many restaurants may place tables outside, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily mean that eating at those tables is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;experienceâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; rather, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just RYHUĂ&#x20AC; RZ VHDWLQJ $ KDQGIXO RI ZRQGHUIXO HDWHU ies, though, understand the delicate marriage of fresh air and food, of nature and nummy: that the experience of taste itself is only made better when enjoyed in lovely, outdoor environs. Here are a few of my favorites:
The Shelburne Inn Restaurant & Pub
As the oldest operating inn in the state of Washington, The Shelburne Inn has been delighting diners with its restaurant and pub for more than a century. Proprietors David Campiche and Laurie Anderson lovingly greet each guest who walks through the elegant doorway as an old friend, even if theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never met, and chefs Robert Erickson and Darice Grass prepare each dish they serve with an equal amount of affection. On a recent visit to The Shelburne, I was incredibly impressed with the outstanding quality of each dish, including locally harvested, organically sourced ingredients; the preparation of each was unique, enticing and delectable. Although the inside of the inn is breathtaking, with its rich antique wood and stained glass windows, the outdoor patio is like something from a postcard. 1HVWOHG LQ WKH TXDLQW KHUE DQG Ă&#x20AC; RZHU JDUGHQ the patio at The Shelburne is cheerful in the afternoon and romantic in the evening, especially
with live music from local artists wafting through the air.

The Bridgewater Bistro
Tony and Ann Kischnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s names have been synonymous with outstanding local cuisine for as long as I can remember, and their current culinary home sits on an Astoria pier where the Union Fish Co-operative Cannery once stood more than 100 years ago. Seeking to both revitalize Astoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s waterfront and the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tastebuds, the Kischners have created an eating venue that is both elegant and casual and that features, arguably, Astoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best outdoor view of the Columbia River. On a beautiful day, dining on the deck of the Bridgewater is second to none: the smell of the fresh, salty sea air and the scenery of ships, boats and waterlife of all sorts passing by. My favorite dish at the Bridgewater Bistro is a roasted duck breast with a cranberry, blackber-

Lumberyard Rotisserie and Grill
$ WUXO\ LPSUHVVLYH HGLÂż FH WKH /XPEHU\DUG Rotisserie and Grill is a handsome Cannon Beach establishment, every bit as sturdy as the name suggests.

The skillet cornbread, with sweet clover-honey cream is sinfully delightful, and the hearthstone margherita pizza with tomato, basil, mozzarella and fresh garlic is as close to authentic DV \RX ZLOO Âż QG LQ RXU DUHD $V WKH /XPEHU\DUG Rotisserie and Grillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name suggests, the rotisserie chicken is also incredibly toothsome, with WHQGHU Ă&#x20AC; DYRUIXO PHDW QHDUO\ IDOOLQJ RII WKH ERQH The Lumberyard is one of my favorite casual spots in Cannon Beach, and its location, just a stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s throw from the waterfront and across the street from the village shops, makes it a fun stop.

The patio at The Shelburne Inn is both a cheerful and romantic place to dine outside, nestled in a quaint herb and flower garden. The Mouth recommends the fresh salmon, back left, and the classic burger, back right.

Lundeen, who graduated from Humboldt State University with a Bachelor of Fine Art in 2006, will cover a variety of topics including an introduction to water-based oils, rendering the landscape, how to create atmosphere and distance, creating compositions, capturing light, shadow and color, and responding to the landscape. Enrollment is limited for quality individual instruction. The workshop fee is
$50 for LNCT members and $65 for the general public, which includes a box lunch from Bread & Ocean Bakery and the following materials: drawing surfaces, charcoal pencils, water-based oil paints, mediums, brushes and painting surfaces.

Ben Rice Band brings vintage blues into the modern era See the band play at the Rio Cantina and Waikiki Beach Concert Series ASTORIA and ILWACO, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;
The Ben Rice band is a kitchen VLQN RI EOXHV PL[HG ZLWK LQĂ&#x20AC;Xences of punk, hip-hop and classic rock. The band will perform two concerts this weekend. First the band will play at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 23 at the Rio Cantina, located at 125 Ninth St. in Astoria. Then, the band will travel across the Astoria Bridge to play a 7 p.m. concert at Cape Disappointment State Park Saturday, Aug. 24 as part of the Waikiki Beach Concert Series, located at 244 Robert Gray Drive in Ilwaco, Wash. Call 360-642-3029 for more information. The band is made up of Ben Rice on lap steel guitar, electric guitar and cigar box guitar; Ryan Rustrum on percussion and drums; and Jesse Nagler on bass. Rice brings real vintage blues into the modern era, twisting soul, roots blues and West Coast blues with rockabilly, funk and rock. Already established as a virtuoso guitar
player, Riceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soulful voice and inventive twists on blues are creating a buzz on the West Coast. Rustrum has a natural talent to create infectious grooves, and he plays with a fun and loving energy. Nagler, the most recent addition to the band, joined in WKH VXPPHU RI DV D ÂżOO in and then played full time in WKH ZLQWHU $OUHDG\ D QDWXUDO ÂżW Nagler brings a sophisticated bottom end and strong support to the band. The bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last all-original CD â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pour Me Some Whiskeyâ&#x20AC;? is being praised as among the best CD releases from the Northwest. The album features songs that exemplify various sub-genres of blues â&#x20AC;&#x201C; songs like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wreck on You,â&#x20AC;? a hard-rocking, in-your-face song that conjures up Johnny Cash meets MotĂśrhead; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Chop You Up,â&#x20AC;? a fast-swinging jump blues, straight out of the West Coast tradition; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Worry Mama,â&#x20AC;? a fan favorite inspired by Reverend Gary Davis; and â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Know
You Love Me,â&#x20AC;? a song out of the Memphis soul tradition. Although Rice is young, he is experienced. First picking up the guitar at 5, he now has 18 years of playing, numerous awards, nominations and a music degree from the University of Oregon. In a music world saturated with young guitarists, his reputation is building. Not as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;hot rod guitar playerâ&#x20AC;? but as a good band leader, great songwriter, wonderful performer, soul-inspiring singer, and a guitar player that can do it all.

Warrenton Costco to host book signing
Come listen to some wry lyrical narratives
See pictorial history in book ‘Astoria’
The Heligoats play at the Fort George in Astoria
WARRENTON — Costco will host a book signing for local author Jeffrey H. Smith 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 24. Smith will be signing copies of his book “Astoria,” a pictorial history of the city published by Arcadia Publishing and its Images of America series. Astoria is the oldest American settlement west of the Rocky Mountains. It began in 1811 as a small but ambitious fur trading venture of New York entrepreneur John Jacob Astor and his Pacific Fur Company. The town has seen the development of commerce and trade ebb and flow like the tide throughout its history. Bounded on three sides by water and much of it originally built over the river, Astoria is a town that
is deeply rooted in maritime history and traditions. This proud community of 10,000 is ready to share its heritage with the rest of the world. The Columbia River Maritime Museum has selected the best images from its collection to tell the maritime story of Astoria in the book. Established in 1962, the museum is one of the finest maritime museums in the country and has been designated the Oregon State Maritime Museum. “Astoria” is available at area bookstores, independent retailers, online retailers and through Arcadia Publishing at www. arcadiapublishing.com. Arcadia Publishing s the leading publisher of local and regional history in the United States.

ASTORIA — Fresh off of NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series, the Heligoats bring Chris Otepka and the band’s powerful folk rock sound to the Fort George Brewery’s second level to perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 25. There is no cover, and all ages are welcome. The Fort George Brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. At its heart, The Heligoats is Chris Otepka (vocals/guitar) and home to his wonderfully weird and diverse compositions. Otepka’s distinct vocal style has been compared by SPIN Magazine as sounding “somewhat like Built To Spill’s Doug Martsch, but also like the Mountain Goat John Darnielle with his sincere and nasal voice.” His lyrical narratives have meanwhile been praised by NPR as “wise, wry observations on human emotions, science and the way things work. His songs are,

more than anything else, the byproduct of an endlessly curious mind.” It’s that restless and overactive spirit that has driven Otepka to establish The Heligoats as his own musical life journal (while of recent years also serving as a touring member of Clem Snide). Since 1998 it has been primarily a solo project, with Otepka doing the majority of
work and guests ¿lling roles. However on the album “Back To The Ache,” the Heligoats has become an ensemble piece with a set quartet adding and trans-mutating Otepka’s compositions. The result is at times rustic alt-folk tunes that expand into loose and layered indie-rock orchestra epics as well as a psychedelic and spacey sheens on intimate singer/songwriter material.
Five Minutes With ... JO POMEROY-COCKETT
Born and raised: I was born in Phoenix, Ariz. While I loved the desert, I always wanted to live somewhere cool and green. Lives now: I now live outside Astoria, in Svensen. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your work? I work in all water mediums and use pastel as an adjunct to the water mediums. I also enjoy creating large 3D collages using full sheets of watercolor paper, shaped into various forms. I show my work at Trail’s End Art Center, the Astoria Golf and Country Club, occasionally at RiverSea and Imogen galleries, at Grace Episcopal Church and various local businesses. I occasionally illustrate
books and some of my illustrations can be seen in publications from Educational Activities, Inc. What do you strive for when creating art? Creating art is all about experimenting, seeing what different materials, by themselves and in combination, will do. Although composition and design are paramount, boundaries can be stretched and unique effects can result. Describe your studio: My studio is a joy. It is big enough for an art table, a desk, room for my two dogs and my cat, and a wonderful huge storage unit built by Robert and Darcy Carr. It looks out on the Columbia River. Favorite artistic subject:
