Rappin’ Cowboy to appear in person and on film ASTORIA — Chris “Sandman” Sand is on the road promoting his record of country songs “spit from the breaks and badlands of Dakota Territory.” “Horse Graveyard” is a collection of North Americana-flavored songs filled with western characters he’s known, some still living and others ghosts. Meet Sandy Bob, Bad Becky, Queen Patricia, Sugar Bank Hank, Cowboy Moses and others. The Voodoo Room at 1114 Marine Drive will host Sand for a night of songs and storytelling starting at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31. The show is free. Sand has been reviewed favorably and often. Eugene Weekly calls him “uncommonly entertaining.” A.V. Club, Denver calls him “…one of America’s most unusual entertainers.” Santa Fe Reporter writes:

Elizabeth Lawrence, director of “Roll Out, Cowboy,” won several awards for her debut featurelength film about Sand, including Best Indie Doc at the Edmonton International Film Festival, Best Documentary at the Seattle True Independent Film Festival, and Best Comedy Documentary at Atlanta DocuFest. If you’re not a President Obama fan, though, you may take offense. Sand’s audacious political views are on record during his 2008 “Go Bama Go PreElection Tour.” If you’re curious about what Sand thinks of America’s current predicament, or how fatherhood is treating him, stick around for the question and answer period. He’ll have his guitar and vintage beatmachines in tow for song requests – raps or twang, you decide.

GEARHART — According to author Barbara Beach, over the past two years, Mother Mary has been communicating her messages through Beach, one of her many scribes. Beach has compiled a collection of 159 letters filled with hope and love that she wants to share with readers. For example, letter number 54 speaks about passion: “What is Passion? What am I talking about and what does this mean? I am talking about your heart’s desire. I am talking about the dreams that you have buried deep within yourself. The ones that you have not talked about forever, that you do not let yourself think about, and no longer allow yourself to dream about.” Beach will be at The Natural Nook, 738 Pacific Way, in Gearhart, from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 2. Refreshments will be served. Beach is a native Oregonian who moved to the North Oregon Coast 10 years ago. She is a nondenominational minister who enjoys performing wedding ceremonies in the open air, standing near the ocean. She is also a Reiki master and has

Endurance enthusiasts Participants dash into the water at Coffenbury Lake in the Kristin Vlaun triathlon last year. – SUBMITTED PHOTO

For runners, bikers and swimmers, the North Coast is the ideal place to train

ust Run, Bike, and/or Swim Astoria: The name of this enthusiastic Facebook community says it all. Among the varied subcultures and hobbyists that make up the fascinating population of the lower Columbia region, there is one that appreciates the mild year-round temperatures, the steep hills, trails and lightly traveled country roads. Here on the North Coast there are larger numbers than one might think, of fitness enthusiasts and endurance athletes – cyclers, swimmers, runners and triathletes (those who compete in all three of these in the same grueling event). “The best thing about training here is that if you can run uphill in the rain, with the wind blowing sideways and find someone to do it with, you pretty much can run anywhere,” says Grace Laman, whose cohorts agree. Though some might feel less than enthused with the 80 to 100 inches of rain this region accumulates in a year, and head to the gym when the drizzle starts, the truth is that the climate is perfect for intrepid athletes. The North Coast experiences extreme heat rarely, and ice, snow and frigid temperatures are winter’s rare exception, not the rule. Clatsop County’s long, hilly, country roads, its lakes, lagoons and bays, its woods and trails make this an ideal training ground for many, ranging from Hood-to-Coast enthusiasts to ultramarathoners, and first time mini-sprint4 | August 30, 2012 | coastweekend.com

swims that appear to be happening on an almost daily basis this summer, from Coffenbury Lake to the Fort to Sea Trail to cycling the long, winding Coast Highway. “We do have lots of amazing athletes in this area and so many incredible places to train,” she says. “It’s been nice to meet so many endurance athletes in the area, and I know there are still lots more out there. The group is growing in number and I personally have made some great new friends/workout partners.” For those intimidated by distance, between longer races, or looking to try a fun community activity, the Kristin Vlaun Triathlon takes place Sept. 8. Former Astoria resident Kristen Vlaun founded this now annual triathlon at Coffenbury Lake to encourage and embrace fitness on the North Coast, and to widen the variety of activities offered by the Astoria Parks Department. The event is a mini-sprint: a 400-yard swim, a 10-mile bike ride (happily flat) and the 2.6 mile run (or walk) on the trail loop around Coffenbury Lake. For more information or to register go online to www.astoriaparks.com People work out and work out hard for all kinds of reasons, here and everywhere else, but perhaps group member Steve Mills says it best and most poignantly: “I spent five years in a wheelchair from the ages of 5 to 10. I run because I can!”

Palette Puddlers Annual Labor Day art show and sale announced CANNON BEACH — The Palette Puddlers’ annual Labor Day weekend art show and sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 31, Sunday, Sept. 2, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday, Sept. 3, at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce, 207 N. Spruce St. Admission and refreshments are free. The artists will provide morning and afternoon demonstrations of their particular art style throughout the weekend. This year, the Palette Puddlers have created a 2013 calendar, with each month highlighting the artwork of one of the group. For example, the cover is a watercolor painting, “The Bathing Beauties,” by Pat Button. The cost is $20 and there is a limited supply. Members Louise Birkenfeld, Susan Bish, Betty Brower, Sheila Brown, Button, Judith Fredrikson, Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, Mary Ann Gantenbein, Ireta Sitts Graube, Eleanor Green, Debbie Janssen, Susan Thomas and Ellen Zimet contributed to the calendar and will be showing and selling original artworks in a variety of mediums, including watercolor, lino-block prints, acrylics, mixed

media, oils, pastels and fine jewelry. The Palette Puddlers are a group of professional women artists, many of whom have painted together for many years. Every Monday, rain or shine, they paint in a Cannon Beach locale. During their weekly painting meetings they provide mutual support, critique artistic efforts and share the joy of creativity, as well as just have a great time. Three times a year, over Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends and at the Stormy Weather Arts Festival in November, they create an art gallery at the Cannon Beach Visitors Center to share and sell their artworks. Many of these artists show their paintings and artwork in other venues in the Northwest and their works adorn homes, necks and wrists throughout the state and the nation. Almost all of the Palette Puddlers show their work at www.trailsendart.org. To view a specific artist’s work, go to the website and click on “artists” on the left-hand menu, or simply go to Cannon Beach over Labor Day weekend, meet the artists and watch them paint.

Artist Tom Benenati's paintings are inspired by local landscapes.

The pistol packin’ artist This Washington State Park ranger finds no shortage of inspiration for his pastel landscapes

ost people have some kind of an idea about the sort of lives most artists lead. Tom Benenati, more than most artists, will put an end to such stereotypes. For one thing, he packs a gun on his day job as a Washington State Park ranger. Benenati lives and works at Fort Columbia, where he is responsible for such items as vacation rentals. “But I have to be prepared to drop everything for a law enforcement emergency,” he says. “Public safety is job one.” The ranger has other priorities as well. “You can’t deny your own vision, the path you want to follow, even if it’s different from what you’ve been doing.” Benenati is speaking of his art, and has followed the various paths down which it has taken him since his youth. Benenati has a small studio in the basement of his quarters in one of the historic wood frame buildings of Fort Columbia. There, he works almost exclusively with pastels to create works that often defy the typical compositions of more traditional landscapes, combining delicacy with a sense of strength, immediacy and expansive space. The landscape around Fort Columbia is more often than not the subject for his art. “There’s no shortage of inspiration,” he says. “At my best moments, I examine the world around me and see it in paint rather than the wood, rock, and water that really surround us.” Benenati’s art is primarily realistic, but he is

Civil War

2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg. Organizers anticipate 50,000 re-enactors from around the country to take part in commemorative events at Gettysburg National Park in Pennsylvania. 2012 marked the 150th anniversary of the battle of Shiloh in Tennessee.

Re-enactors honor pivotal U.S. history at annual Fort Stevens event Story by Daniel Haag • The Daily Astorian file photos

Roger Shipman sits with his daughter, Colleen, in camp during the Civil War re-enactment at Fort Stevens.

A Union doctor talks with a soldier while another checks on a fallen friend during a morning battle of the Civil War re-enactment at Fort Stevens.

t the onset of the Civil War, the battlefields of the American Southeast were far removed from the daily routines of Pacific Northwesterners. However, the concern that the Confederacy would enlist the aid of England as fighting wound down led to the construction of Fort Stevens in Warrenton. While the fort’s batteries never fired at an enemy, its existence signaled a keen awareness of the conflict back East. Illustrating that sentiment, the Northwest Civil War Council will present the annual historical re-enactment at Fort Stevens. Hosted by the Friends of Old Fort Stevens over Labor Day weekend, Saturday, Sept. 1 through Monday, Sept. 3, it is the NCWC’s largest event. It is expected to draw 600 re-enactors from Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, Idaho and Canada. With a full schedule of detailed demonstrations, the event ensures that the lessons of the Civil War prevail today. Modern Civil War re-enactors don’t differ greatly from the soldiers and civilians of 150 years ago. They come from all walks of life: bankers, engineers, teachers, doctors, students. The NCWC unites these people to preserve and honor American history by presenting it to the public. The NCWC’s website states its mission to educate through its activites: “The NCWC is made up of people who share a strong interest in the American Civil War. They believe that this conflict, as savage and tragic as it was, still represents the centerpiece of our history and has important effects for everyone, even in the 21st century.” Jim Munson, the NCWC’s coordinator for the Fort Stevens event, has particpated in Civil War re-enacting for nearly 20 years. He serves as a Union batallion commander at reenactments and advocates the events’ importance. “There are valuable lessons throughout human history,” Munson said. “Sometimes those lessons get forgotten, most importantly, the price of freedom. As time separates us from the Civil War, we often lose perspective on its significance.”

Living history

Munson stresses that re-enactments offer more than fighting. “It’s living history displaying military and civilian lifestyles of the era. Spectators see, touch and feel how people in that period lived day-to-day.” Munson notes that the civilian cast is as significant as the soldiers. “Visitors go behind the scenes and see everything from clothing styles, to cooking techniques, to music and dancing,” he said. “We are especially careful to display medical conditions, something that goes a long way toward understanding the tragedy of the war and how far we have come.” A large part of re-enactments is devoted to music.

Schedule and Details

The only woman to officially be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor was Dr. Mary Edwards Walker, a doctor who treated the wounded at battles such as First Bull Run and Chickamauga. She also served time as a prisoner of war. The 1st Oregon Volunteer Infantry never saw combat against Confederate forces, and was never in a major battle, yet it manned critical remote outposts throughout the state during the Civil War. The Friends of Old Fort Stevens Inc. is engaged in the reconstruction and restoration of Battery Pratt’s gun No. 1. This battery was for two 6-inch disappearing rifles. Its construction began in 1899 and the guns were mounted in 1902. When completed, re-enactors will simulate the loading and firing of the gun. Donations are being accepted. Approximately 50,000 Canadians served in the Civil War. The majority of these men served in the Union armed forces, enlisting in regiments in the northern border states. Four Canadians attained the rank of general in Union service, and 29 were awarded the Medal of Honor. Some also enlisted to fight for the Confederacy, and so Canadians also pitted brother against brother.

“Mole”-crusted albacore Sesame-crusted Crust ingredients albacore 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon This crusted albacore is ready to eat.

1 teaspoon sea salt, fine 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, unsweetened ¼ cup sesame seeds 1 tablespoon ground chipotle pepper seasoning ¼ teaspoon fine cracked black pepper Mix the ingredients together.

DEEDA SCHROEDER – FOR COAST WEEKEND

1/3 cup sesame seeds 1/3 cup black sesame seeds 1 tablespoon sea salt 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper Mix the ingredients together.

DIRECTIONS 1. To prepare the loin, remove skin and any blood line. Sprinkle with sea salt. 2. Brush the entire loin with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt before pressing the crust onto surface, making sure ingredients are evenly distributed and surface feels dry. 3. Heat a cast iron skillet or saute pan to medium heat. Drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil onto pan and wait until it begins to shimmer. Gently lay loin onto pan. Allow to cook about two minutes on each side, or until the fish is opaque about one-third inch in from the crust. Crust will look dark and almost burnt, but flavor will not be damaged. 4. Turn and repeat on all sides, leaving the center translucent. 5. Remove from heat and cut crosswise slices about one-third inch thick, using a very sharp knife. Try using a serrated blade. 6. Serve with roasted vegetables, corn or chiles.

The perfect pan-seared albacore

here are few fish as versatile, easy to prepare and unique as albacore tuna. It can be grilled, poached, sauteed or fried fish ’n’ chips-style. Lately, even canning your own Oregon albacore at home has again become popular. But pan searing is one way to cook albacore that should be in every cook’s tool chest. Sliced thin, it can turn a salad or pasta dish into a spectacular main course. Or pair it with your own dipping sauce, and you’ve got a stylish, minimalist appetizer that is gorgeous to look at. Searing a whole tuna loin on its outer surfaces – but leaving the inside rare – keeps the fish moist, tender and flavorful. It’s the way fishermen cook the fish for their families. This is the time of year when our Oregon fishermen are bringing home their hauls of albacore, so take advantage of the opportunity to buy local fish at its freshest. Pan searing is a method that that has myriad variations – from a simple salt and pepper crust to a complex blackening seasoning. It lends itself equally well to Asian, Italian, Latin or Caribbean 14 | August 30, 2012 | coastweekend.com

flavor OF THE COAST

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW By DEEDA SCHROEDER flavors. Sesame seeds are a favorite, as are chile powders and even curry pastes. Of course, you can never go wrong with garlic and herbs. Even ground coffee can make a simple or complex outer layer of flavor for the mild-tasting fish. Just don’t crust the loin with something that burns quickly or tastes bitter after a quick dose of high heat.

Here are some tips for perfect pan-seared albacore: • Buy high-quality fish from a reputable source. The fish should smell clean and fresh with a very slight ocean tang. Know if the fish has been frozen because that will alter the texture slightly. • When preparing the loin, keep the fish dry

so it can better accept the ingredients you’ll be pressing onto it. If you end up with scraps like belly meat, season those and save for another use. • Use a heavy-bottomed pan that has a wide, flat surface for cooking a whole loin. Heat it for a good 4-5 minutes before adding oil. It is imperative that the heat be strong and steady, so get to know the intensity of your burners and adjust as necessary. • Once you’ve placed the loin in the pan, don’t disturb it until it’s ready to turn. This will allow a crispy, chestnut-brown crust to form, melding the crust ingredients with the natural juices of the fish. • As the fish is cooking, don’t leave the stove! Watch carefully as the meat turns opaque, but also allow a little bit for carry-over cooking, the cooking that continues to happen after leaving direct heat. Leave the stove for a minute or two and you’ll be left with dry, over-cooked fish. • Experiment with your own crust ideas. Using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle to grind up whole spices like cumin, coriander or anise is a great way to keep flavors fresh and vivid. No matter what ingredients you combine, don’t forget the salt and pepper!

Imogen Gallery New gallery opens in downtown Astoria ASTORIA — Imogen Gallery opened its doors for the first time during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk in August. Teri Sund, formerly the exhibits director at RiverSea Gallery, has branched out on her own to cultivate a small gallery with a grand outlook and a definitive style. Sund will focus on contemporary works from artists of Astoria and the Northwest. Imogen will feature monthly rotating exhibitions of solo and group shows opening each second Saturday of the month in conjunction with the established Astoria Art Walk. Imogen also invites all to join in its Friday Night Mixer, a weekly social event hosted by Astoria Coffeehouse and Bistro, held from 5 to 7 p.m. every Friday. For more information about Imogen Gallery or its represented artists, call 503-468-0620 or stop by the gallery. Sund, who began working in galleries while obtaining her fine arts degree from Western Washington University, has held a lifelong love of the visual language. After studying art history in Greece, she returned to finish her education with an internship at Whatcom Museum of History and Art, before moving to Seattle, where she managed a cooperatively-owned fine craft gallery that focused on handmade furniture and sculpture. Later, Evelyn Georges of White Bird

Gallery in Cannon Beach offered her a position managing the gallery. Having been the first art gallery that Sund had visited as a child, she jumped at the opportunity to relocate to the beach and be surrounded by some of the leading artists of the Northwest. Some years later, Sund moved to Astoria with her two daughters and took a position at RiverSea Gallery where she worked for 12 years promoting local artists and the art community. During this time, she also worked for Clatsop Community College as director to the Art Center Gallery and enjoyed the opportunity of working with outside respected gallerists from the Northwest as well as internationally known artists. Sund is a member of ArtTable, a nonprofit group supporting professional women in the arts. Imogen Gallery will focus on contemporary works, much of which has local connections, but also international art. The gallery will support all mediums, with a strong focus on two-dimensional work. Artists represented will include Christos Koutsouras, Nicholas Knapton, Lauren Mantecon, Roger Hayes and many others. Imogen Gallery offers consultation to nonrepresented artists, including assistance with writing of biographies, artist statements and resumes. Imogen Gallery will be available for off-site

art installation, in the home or office. Imogen Gallery is open daily at 240 11th St., on the block shared with Cargo and Astoria Coffeehouse and Bistro. Regular business hours are 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

event will take place in the Community Room. Perkel will have her books for sale and there will be refreshments. In the first part of “A Thousand Summers,” Perkel tells the tale of an Idaho girl and her family who spend their summers in a quaint cottage in Seaside during the 1960s. The second half is about a woman whose life falls apart and, in an attempt to save herself, moves with her daughter and a friend to the same cottage in Seaside. With charm and quirky charac-

Summer Breezers

Tolovana Arts Colony presents Ellen Whyte

Dozen-band lineup makes us feel fine

CANNON BEACH — Tolovana Arts Colony, a community arts organization based in Cannon Beach, presents Ellen Whyte and Band in a free concert in the park from 4 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 2. Whyte has released her fourth album, “Four Way Stop.” Longtime Portland KINK FM 102 Blues Show radio personality Bob Ancheta raved that it gave him “goose bumps.” Whyte has branched out to bluegrass, gospel, rock, blues and jazz. Her eclectic tastes in music includes such musicians as Ray Charles, Ella Fitzgerald, Joni Mitchell and Bonnie Raitt. Known for astonishing vocals, Whyte moves among genres from blues to jazz to funk and ballads. Opening the concert at 4 p.m. is singer and guitarist Sherrie Wolf, of Portland and Manzanita. She will sing songs of Bob Dylan and others, with guitar and mandolin accompaniment. Wolf arranges and interprets from a traditional folk background, with influences of jazz and blues. Whyte will take the stage at 5 p.m. Tolovana Arts Colony (TAC) was founded in 2005 by two talented individuals, Michael Burgess and Billy Hults, who designed a program to help local artists work and live on the northern Oregon coast.

ASTORIA — Following a tradition of doing a small independent music festival every summer in Astoria, Nyklus Stephens presents Summer Breezers Fest 2012, two days of independent alternative music from around the Northwest. “I’ve done shows like this forever, it feels like,” Stephens said. It hasn’t been “forever,” of course, but it does take a lot of effort to single-handedly coordinate with 12 bands and create a schedule, rent a space and advertise. “It becomes worthwhile when you realize you are working with equally motivated people,” he said. He has gone out of his way to make sure that all of his musical showcases are for all ages and available to the widest crowd possible. “Astoria is just such a small town where community is vital,” he went on. “I

RiverSea Gallery Local artists Baker and Laughery exhibit ASTORIA — Local artist Vicki Baker will be featured at RiverSea Gallery during September, with an exhibition of monotypes inspired by her fascination with Asian costume and artistic style. There will be an opening reception for the show from 4:30 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 1. The artist will discuss her artwork, printmaking techniques and the Asian influence that threads through it. A second reception will be held Saturday, Sept. 8, in conjunction with the monthly art walk. For this series, Baker has focused on creating monotype images that give a nod to Asian styles in the figures, costumes and backgrounds. She has long been attracted to the grace and beauty of the Japanese kimono, and is fascinated by the hair and makeup worn by geishas and kabuki actors. Some of these elements are suggested in her images.

RiverSea Gallery is located at 1160 Commercial St. Business hours are 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call the gallery at 503325-1270 or visit the website at www.riversea gallery.com

Gin Laughery Printmaker Gin Laughery will present her latest series of one-of-a-kind prints in “Road Trip,” an exhibition at RiverSea Gallery.

An artist’s reception will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, in conjunction with Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk.

composition is a path or road that guides the eye to the horizon. Laughery’s intent is to create work that allows the mind to travel into a reverie without being on an actual road trip. Her memory of place is formed of color, texture and light. In this new series she mostly leaves representational landscapes behind. Instead, she relies on her memory of place being formed of color, texture and light, and distills her delight in her surroundings into these essential elements. Each fall, Laughery drives to Whitefish, Mont., to go fly fishing. She loves that the long drive takes her away from the minutiae of daily life and allows for long periods of contemplation on the road. The prints in her show are a compilation of many road trip memories, but each becomes its own place. Her chosen title, “Road Trip,” also serves as a meta-

Workshops returning from the Farmstock festival in 2011 include “Fruit Wine Making,” with farmer George Exum; “Biochar,” the win-win-win gardening solution from Jim Karnofski; and “Blacksmithing,” with David Curl of Solstice Forge. Still more workshops include livestock and chickens, cooking local shrimp, seed saving, maritime gardening, beekeeping, “Eating Locally, Seasoning Globally,” evaluating farm enterprise options, farm habitat restoration, pasture management and growing and using lavender. Add to those workshops about the North Coast Food Web and the Pacific County Commu-

Admission to the event is free, with a parking fee of $5 and $20 for overnight dry camping. Workshops are also free. Workshops run concurrently, so be sure to check out the schedule at www.CoastRadio.org/Farmsto ck to see which ones fit your interests. The website also has a schedule of live music and other activities. A booklet listing all the workshops with more detail will be available for $1 at the Farmstock information booth. Proceeds from the event go in part to support programming on Coast Community Radio’s flagship station, KMUN 91.9 FM Astoria, rated No. 1 in listenership for the coastal region.
