THE CHINOOK, A CEDAR CIVILIZATION By DAVID CAMPICHE FOR COAST WEEKEND

he long-tapered canoe slides though the water with the grace of a dolphin. Sleek. Handsome. Ancient yet modern in design. A work of art. This is the matrix of a proud and tenacious civilization that nearly disappeared before our eyes. They persevered. This is Chinook (or “Tsinuk”) at its very best. The giant cedar tree was picked by the elders and the esteemed carver, an artist among the proud peoples of the Northwest coast. The tree rose like twining hands from dark fertile soil, from black loam that lay near the water, Paciﬁc water, or its tributaries. A blessing was passed from the

natives to the tree. An explanation for the transformation of its life was laid at the roots of the 200-foot cedar. There was no clearcutting of entire forests by these First Peoples. The trees were hand-selected for building a lodge, a totem or canoe — one here, one there. Often planks were wedged from the north side of the cedar. After half a dozen of the broad boards had been carefully extracted, the tree was left to grow and prosper. Nutrition still ﬂowed up the uncut section of that tree. If a seeker is lucky enough to walk in these preserved forests, he or she may run into the giants, still tall and vital, the scars mostly covered up by age. Native women would peel Continued on Page 7

a section of the outer bark and draw long strands of the soft cambium layer for the weaving of baskets or capes or shirts or mats. The cedar was the precious wood used in the carving of the totems, these magical poles that graced the beaches and villages, dotting the landscape from Sitka to Chinook for millennia. This was and is a cedar civilization.

Traders

Tony Johnson is a descendant of the Chinook. He is a fine carver and natural leader. On a Friday late in June, the Chinook came together to celebrate the return of the Chinook salmon, their namesake. They gathered at Fort Columbia and, in a ceremonial walk, descended to the sandy cove that housed the Tsinuk and their watercraft for eons. From this deep cove, the natives would launch their canoes. Stories are shared as to how they might sneak behind warring canoes from the Haida or Kwakiutl (Kwakwala’wakw), canoes moving upriver to raid on the many villages that bound this ancient civilization together. Once the enemy had passed the hiding place of the Chinook, these warriors would race up behind the enemy, creating a pincer movement from west to east, as their brothers confronted the invaders from up-river. But the Chinook were mostly traders, and preferred amicable relationships with the tribes of the West Coast. Their civilization spread from Willapa Bay upriver to Bonneville, and south down the Oregon Coast for twenty or thirty miles. At the zenith, they may have numbered nearly 40,000, a civilization rivaling any of the indigenous peoples all the way south to Mexico City. The carving of the canoe began with splitting the log horizontally and nearly in

two, but preserving high points at both ends. The belly was carefully burned, then rudimentary hand adzes and chisels began to strip away the bark and soft wooden fiber. Months went into the preparation of the watercraft. A Haida canoe 63 feet long was purchased by the famous anthropologist Francis Boas before the turn of the century and sent around the Horn to New York and the museum of Natural History. One can only marvel at this specimen.

elders are served first, guests second. No one begins to eat the bounty until everyone has been served. The feast was magical and heartfelt.

A proud people

The ‘best canoe navigators I ever saw’

Cecil Paul, a chief of the Haisla nation described how each canoe had a calling card. Some were designed for war, some for peace. Some were fishing vessels, and many were used for transporting trade goods or for weddings and other ceremonies. By design, the natives could tell which tribe carved the vessel. Often, they could decipher the mission of the visitor. Johnson welcomed in a hand-carved canoe, and, in fluent Tsinuk, praised the occasion and issued a welcoming salutation. He had a large part in the carving of the canoe, and like all his artwork, this piece is elegant. It is also extremely seaworthy. In 1806, clinging to the shoreline, William Clark praised the seamanship of the Tsinuk, writing in his diary: “Certain it is they are the best canoe navigators I ever saw.” High praise from a rugged soldier who crossed a good part of North America in a dugout canoe. Above, by the theater at Fort Columbia, salmon were being prepared. They were splayed and pinioned between split cedar withes and then crisscrossed with strong slats. A bed of coals sent a sheen of heat, slowly braising the fish. Younger members of the tribe fed salmonberries into the mouths of the salmon, a ritual offering prayers to the fish

for its annual return. There is nothing casual, nothing taken for granted, when it comes to the removal of the salmon from the Columbia waters. For eons, the Tsinuk

depended upon the delicious fish. The salmon is served with the same respect and ritual as the breaking of bread in an Anglican church. As tradition mandates, the

The Chinook nation has not been recognized as an “official” tribe by our government, a fact that never gets past these proud people. It remains impossible to reconcile: the Tsinuk were the largest historic traders of the Pacific coast. They were ravaged by disease, racism and indifference. The land where they dwelt and its bounty were coveted by the first pioneers. All across North America, native lands were stolen, acre by acre, piece by piece. This tribe offered friendship to the first whites and pioneers. Custom dictated that all visitors be served with dignity and respect. All food was shared. In 1792, Robert Gray entered the big river aboard the Columbia Rediviva. Gray was apparently the first foreigner (from a Caucasian perspective) to cross the Columbia River Bar and enter the big river. He anchored off Chinook Point below Fort Columbia and began

to trade European goods for otter pelts. According to Chinook legend, Gray issued a declaration: The Chinook were not to trade after dark. They were not to approach the good ship flying the stars and stripes of the United States. The natives did not understand the language or the implied threat. When canoes came alongside the ship at dusk, Gray turned two cannons loose on the unfortunate natives, blowing them out of the water. The tribe and its intentions were clearly misunderstood. Obviously, the tribe was angry. The younger warriors wished revenge. The chiefs said “no.” There would be no reprisal. We are a trading people, they proclaimed. Murder these sailors and we are out of business. The next day, the Chinook returned and traded. Gray set forth to Canton, and made a small fortune off those pelts. The tribe waits, the sun moving their dreams wraith-like from the four compass points and into sunrise. Proud and patient, they count the days. We are Tsinuk, they say. We are proud. CW

White Bird Gallery showcases new Tipton art CANNON BEACH — Randall David Tipton had his first solo show at White Bird Gallery in 1987. Over the years, the artist developed an original style improvising within the familiar. He will show new paintings at the gallery, Sept. 1-Oct. 6. He will hold a gallery demonstration at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 23. The longtime Portland artist uses landscapes as a guide in his art, creating scenes based on his experiences. Coming of age in the late 20th century, Tipton’s process ws informed by abstract expressionism as a direct link to the unconscious. His introspective paintings also stem from a belief in the restorative qualities of nature. Within Tipton’s canvases, abstraction is used to emphasize the most attractive elements of a scene.

Although Johnson’s landscape studies are rooted in plein air painting, early on he began to add the little touches that rouse the imagination: the faint treetops that indicate a valley beyond the hill, or the tiny glint of water that tantalizes over a grassy dune. These hints at an unseen landscape beyond the one we see were an introduction to his dream world.

7 North Holladay Drive “Billy Lutz, owner of the gallery, is a magnificent artist,” Amy Kiefer, a freelance Gilbert District reporter said. “His works transcend pure aesthetics and delve into the abstract realm of the metaphysical to evoke an intense spiritual and intellectual response. In the true spirit of his paintings, Lutz eclipses his physical limitations through his fathomless ardor for philosophy.

NOTHING TRIVIAL HERE

Test your smarts at Merry Time Bar and Grill’s Trivia Night PHOTOS BY COLIN MURPHEY/COAST WEEKEND

A team puts together an answer to the latest question during trivia night at the Merry Time Bar and Grill. The venue hosts the event every Wednesday beginning at 7 p.m.

By DAN HAAG

FOR COAST WEEKEND

don’t dabble too much in trivia, which is strange, considering my head is swimming with useless facts and pop culture references. Trivia and I haven’t had a serious relationship since the days of the multi-colored, pie-shaped pieces of the classic Trivial Pursuit board game. That is, until I took in Trivia Night at Astoria’s venerable Merry Time Bar and Grill, held 7 to 8:30 p.m. every Wednesday.

It’s all in the name

I’ve always enjoyed the Merry Time, with its high booths overlooking Marine Drive.

I especially appreciate their “No Minors” rule that allows me to nurse a beer and grumble about the Red Sox third-base situation without listening to wailing toddlers. But Trivia Night gave me a new appreciation for the establishment and the important role trivial facts play in our lives. My wife and I had no clue what to expect as we entered the Merry Time on a warm Astoria Wednesday evening. The place was packed and the anticipation was palpable. Seating ourselves at a small round corner table adjacent to the center of trivia action, we were versed by waitstaff on the logistics of the nights’ competition. The game features three rounds with

three categories in each round. Each team — which can have up to four players — puts in the $2 entry fee. At the end of the game, the winning team gets the pot. We were issued pencils and answer sheets for each round. “Make sure you pick a team name, something fun,” our waiter said. After some intense negotiation, we settled on a name that not only perfectly encapsulated us but seethed intimidation: “Disciples Of Vader.” Extra points are awarded for the best team name, and we liked our odds until some of the others were announced: “Steve Bannon’s Hit Squad” and “We Can Do This The Easy Way Or The United Airlines Way” vaulted to the forefront.

Ridiculous facts

It turns out I’m not the only one who takes pride in being able to access answers to little-known facts. Trivia Night has a loyal following, and host Carol Goodrich always takes category requests in order to involve tavern regulars. “I love trivia in general and little facts that seem ridiculous have always been fun for me,” she said, adding that the shared experience of trivia is fun for everybody. Goodrich, along with Emily Geddiss, took over Trivia Night last fall with the blessing of Merry Time owner Terry Robinett. “Terry really let us run with it and make it our own,” Goodrich said.

AUGUST 31, 2017 // 11

Geddiss, who no longer works Trivia Night, said it’s enjoyable when someone realizes they know an answer. “It’s fun to ﬁnd those things that people have squirreled away in the back of their brains,” she said. The questions don’t just get read off verbatim; Goodrich likes to add visual questions as well. “I think sets that us apart from the rest of trivia nights. Lots of silly pictures and throwbacks to our childhood selves,” she said. The prizes add another element to the silliness. Goodrich asks bonus questions between each round and those winners get to select something from a collection of what she calls “exotic prizes” lining a table at the front of the room. “Even if you don’t win you might take home something fun,” Goodrich said. “Sometimes it’s a house plant, sometimes it’s a toy or candy. Terry has even wrapped up stuff so they have to roll the dice picking from a pile of unknown things.” On this night, the table was lined with an array of cassette tapes, old pictures, toys and a puzzle. I was eying a cassette tape knowing I am probably one of the last people in the world with a working tape player in his car.

Trivia fever

The time to play had arrived. Most teams were at full capacity, leaving the two of us outnumbered but undaunted. Seated at the table next to us was a foursome of college-age kids who were only too happy to show the waiter their IDs. I leaned over and asked them what brought them here; the consensus was the cash prize. Also, as one of them conﬁded, “We’re really into stupid facts.” I asked them if they planned on buying the house a round if they won, but they just laughed. The game commenced — “No using phones,” Goodrich admonished — and the festivities kicked off with a relatively easy round of sports questions featuring team nicknames. I got lucky and drew a couple of baseball questions, including “What team from the 1970s was commonly referred to as The Big Red Machine?” The Cincinnati Reds, of course. This was followed by “What team was known as the Purple People Eaters?” Born and raised in the Midwest, I instantly recognized the Minnesota Vikings. Long live Fran Tarkenton! We ended that category with a perfect score. Trivia fever was settling in. I had no doubt the Disciples Of Vader would reign supreme.

A participant writes down an answer to the latest question during trivia night at the Merry Time Bar and Grill in Astoria.

‘IT’S FUN TO FIND THOSE THINGS THAT PEOPLE HAVE SQUIRRELED AWAY IN THE BACK OF THEIR BRAINS.’ Secret of Nimh” (Don Bluth). We redeemed ourselves by correctly labeling the continents in size from largest to smallest and naming all of the secondary colors, but by then we were deep into the third round and ﬁghting to stay in serious contention. The Merry Time Bar and Grill in Astoria is the site of a trivia night event held every Wednesday where teams compete for a variety of prizes.

Then it got tricky. We missed on the scientiﬁc term for the narwhal (mondon monoceros), forgot the name of the singer who performed “Take

This Job and Shove It” (Johnny Paycheck), flubbed on the first National Park (Yellowstone, not Yosemite), and drew a complete blank on the director of the 1982 film “The

There can be only one

The final question in the last round offered a glimmer of redemption, and my confidence surged as Goodrich asked, “Who served as President of Iran until 2013.” Eureka! I knew this one! As I prepared to scribble the long, multi-syllable name, cold water rained down on my picnic. “Only full name and spelling count,” she said adamantly. Groans went up around the room and we bent over our scoresheet, arguing over how many ‘j’s’ there were and where they went, and repeatedly sounding the long name out. In the end, only one team correctly spelled “Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.” Still, it was a bitter pill to swallow as the last prize from the table was claimed, that worn cassette tape I had coveted. As the evenings’ final tally was announced, Disciples Of Vader, out of 11 teams, ranked in the middle of the pack. The cash prize, a little over $30, was claimed, and the winners — a group decked out in Oregon Ducks apparel — celebrated loudly. Disciples Of Vader would not be trivia champions this evening, but we vowed to return for a rematch. We also took solace from still being in better shape than the Red Sox third-base situation. CW

Get thee to the farmers markets, lickety-split Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

t was June. I bit into a freshly picked strawberry and to my tongue it was declared: “Summer has arrived.” I didn’t find such stirring, evocative pleasure in one of those mealy, genetically modified monsters at the grocery store, of course. Rather, this was the genuine article, grown from Oregon’s sun and soil. These strawberries came, of course, from a farmers market. It feels like only last week when I popped into my mouth that first taste of summer. But, my goodness, summer has just been screaming along. And while I’m rabid in insisting there’s still plenty of time before the rains return and the sky turns gray, it’s worth mentioning: The days of the farmers markets are numbered. There are only a few weeks left. So let this be your friendly (but urgent) reminder: Get out there while you still can! Scattered across the region, you’ll find markets most days of the week. (See box for times and locations.)

A quick overview

Astoria’s Sunday Market is the largest, with by far the most vendors. It’s as much a street fair as farmers market, with a significant portion of vendors offering arts and crafts. Numerous others are extensions of existing brick-andmortar businesses. Cannon Beach’s market, conversely, is restricted to regionally produced foods (though they, too,

Astoria Sunday Market

host a few brick-mortar outposts as well). Now in its fourth year, Seaside’s market continues to grow, thanks in large part to a relocation (to the parking lot of Broadway Middle School on U.S. Highway 101) that enhanced visibility and increased traffic. Manzanita also found a new home this year, moving just a block south from Laneda Avenue. The new, more spacious location has elevated an already festive Friday evening atmosphere. The River People Farmers Market in Astoria has contracted greatly, to one day per month. Sadly, my schedule has precluded visits to the markets in Ilwaco and Long Beach. (But I can say, after perusing the vendor list, Long Beach’s offerings are robust; after all, there are plenty of farms on and near the peninsula.)

The vendors

Now, on to a few of my favorite vendors.

As for strawberries — and blackberries and blueberries and marionberries — I first look for A & B Farms, whose tend to be the ripest and most vibrant. But just about any will hit the spot. From the numerous berry producers I’ve tried, I’ve never regretted a purchase. (You’ll find A & B in Cannon Beach, Manzanita and Astoria.) As for produce, KingFisher Farms, is the place. (They’re not the longest-running farm on the North Coast for nothing.) They’re known primarily for salad mix (which is found at some of the best restaurants on the coast and in Portland), but just about everything on offer — from sweet bell peppers to hulking onions — is top notch. At their booth this year, I became familiar with purslane, a tart, tasty herb that’s teeming with vitamin-C, Omega-3s among other healthy benefits. It’s perfect for sautéing with meat and other veggies. (KingFisher are regulars at Cannon Beach, Manzanita and

Astoria.) When I get purslane I like to sauté it with either beef or lamb, which I get from Lance’s Farm Vittles, a ranch in Nehalem that sells at the Cannon Beach and Manzanita markets. The family farm’s humanely raised, grass-fed and grass-finished meats are at once clean and rich. Around this time of year, when the markets’ end is in sight, I start to stock up, filling my freezer to the brim for winter. Regular readers of this column will recognize this next vendor name: Skamokawa Farmstead Creamery. Their light, easy and effortlessly delicious array of chèvre will make a fan out of anyone — even those who think they don’t like goat cheese. New flavors are added regularly, like the special garlic edition that was produced a few weeks ago for the Elephant Garlic festival in North Plains. It’s everything you want it to be. Last week’s addition was a crottin, a briefly aged blue cheese with lovely funk, somewhere close to Brie. Stop by Skamokawa’s booth in Cannon Beach, Astoria or Long Beach for a sample. And while you can do just about anything with these cheeses, from salads to dinners to snacks and dessert (not too long ago I found it in ice cream at the Shelburne Inn), it’s hard to beat the simple pleasure of spreading it on some freshly baked bread, which you’ll find at most markets. At the moment, I’m partial to the baguettes from Sea Level, the French-inspired cafe and bakery in Tolovana that has a booth at the Cannon Beach market. In Manzanita you’ll find another worthwhile cheesemaker, Black Sheep Creamery, that has come

Though, for that, too, the farmers markets have you covered. We’ll touch on the food courts next week. In the meantime, get to a CW market before it’s too late!

BOOKMONGER

YA series wraps up with unifying message Four years ago, William Ritter embarked on two new adventures almost simultaneously. He started teaching at a new high school in the Willamette Valley, and he also saw the publication of his book, “Jackaby,” which was to be the first in a series of historical YA novels that deal in the supernatural. This spring, Ritter read the names of the graduating seniors at the high school’s commencement ceremony, sending the students he had spent four years with out into the world. Following close on the heels of their graduation, he now also sees the publication of his fourth and final Jackaby book, “The Dire King.” If you know about these parallel experiences in advance, you’ll notice how much good advice and life wisdom Ritter dresses up in 19th century costume and stuffs into his book. It’s probably more effective than delivering a droning speech to a gymnasium packed with giddy graduates, their families, balloons, bouquets, and contraband confetti. It’s certainly more entertaining. “The Dire King” also has wendigos and goblins, pixies and gnomes, were-

And there are larger and far more ruthless players in the “otherworld.” Using the chaos they have helped to cre-

ate as a smokescreen (sometimes fiction resonates eerily with the real world), they are working behind the scenes, bent on besieging humanity in a winner-takes-all war. The author goes on to devote several chapters to the physical conflict, taking care to describe the array of combatants, the war apparatus, the blow-by-blows and the grisly outcomes – but as in movies that devote too much screen time to special effects, these scenes seem interminable. It is much more interesting when Ritter returns to the moral dilemmas and the nuanced arguments that demand that the reader’s intellect be fully engaged. As in the previous books in the “Jackaby” series, this tale is narrated by Abigail Rook. Over time we have seen Rook hone her headstrong disposition into a more mature focus that combines thoughtfulness with determination. Rook has also learned how to complement her boss’s single-minded brilliance with her own blend of common sense and compassion. In short, we have seen her grow up and begin to define her place in the world. “This world doesn’t need showy champions,” she realizes. “It needs people who are good, people who do good, even if nobody will ever know.” “The Dire King” challenges hatemongers and bullies. It promotes tolerance, resilience, courage and hope. More than ever, this is a message our young people need to hear, and William Ritter delivers. The Bookmonger is Barbara Lloyd McMichael, who writes this weekly column focusing on the books, authors and publishers of the Pacific Northwest. Contact her at bkmonger@nwlink.com

726 Pacific Way Fiber artist Brittany Boles teaches natural dyeing workshops at her Sea Spell Fiber Studio in Gearhart. “I’m in love with the mystery of the plant world and how new life can be extracted from a wilted flower,” Boles said. “Local salal berries, bursting with red juice. The uncanny magic of the indigo plant, which is first bright yellow, then blue, as soon as the fabric meets the air. “All of this encourages me to live and learn in a colorful, seasonal way,” she continued. “I’m endlessly inspired by the coastal landscape and the diverse local plants.”

A painting by Jane McGeehan, who is the featured artist for September, with her show “Light, Energy, Love.”

“Light, Energy, Love.” Painting with watercolors is magical, totally engrossing, and a pure delight for her. When McGeehan and her husband moved to the North Coast of Oregon, the richness of the surroundings inspired her. Joining Trail’s End Art Association in Gearhart provided opportunities to expand her knowledge of watercolor painting. “My camera is a big help, and I organize photos I’ve taken by categories,” she said. “When I paint, I can create new images to reflect a mood by choosing elements of various photos and combining them in new ways. Landscapes and flowers especially fascinate me as sunlight plays on each at different times of day.”

230 Houses, Unfurnished

By DAVID RISING

Astoria

ASSOCIATED PRESS

BERLIN — Section by section, American artist Ryan Mendoza painstakingly disassembled the small wood-frame home of civil rights icon Rosa Parks after learning that the struggling city of Detroit was going to have it demolished. He shipped it across the Atlantic Ocean and rebuilt it in the German capital of Berlin, saving the home and creating a new tourist attraction. The house has been up in Berlin less than a year, but after violence at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and the growing call to remove Confederate monuments in the United States, the New York native said it’s now clear to him that Parks’ house needs to return soon to the U.S. “It’s actually become a necessity, as we see people rising up and seeing things for what they are,” he said. “As Americans begin to understand they have to re-contextualize these monuments, the Confederate statues, there is a lack of civil rights monuments to balance things out.” Parks, who died in 2005, became a leading name in the civil rights movement for refusing in 1955 to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama. She moved to Detroit in 1957 to escape death threats and stayed in the house with her brother and his family — crammed into the tiny residence with more than 15 people. After the financial crisis of 2008 and Detroit’s dramatic decline, Parks’ home was abandoned and put on a list for demolition.

Trees stay close to the rebuilt house of Rosa Parks in Berlin. Parks’ house has been standing in the German capital for less than a year, but now the American artist Ryan Mendoza who saved it from destruction in Detroit says it’s time for it to return to the U.S.

Parks’ niece Rhea McCauley instead bought it from the city for $500 and donated it to Mendoza for preservation. In 2016, he and others took it carefully apart, then rebuilt it on the lot in Berlin where his studio and home are. Queen Yahna, a soul and gospel singer from Philadelphia who now lives in Berlin, performed for the crowd at the house’s official dedication in April. Visiting the house this week, she said it doesn’t matter to her where the house is, so long as Parks’ struggle is remembered. “The issue of racism is going on, negative things are going on and there are different things, positive, that can be brought to light, not just physical monuments,” she said. “The spirit is more important.” But Mendoza said even though the house is tucked away on his lot, it still draws curious onlookers daily — including many Americans — showing how important a symbol it is. “Imagine if the house were on a public setting in a prominent city in the U.S.?”

he said. “That’s an educational tool that shouldn’t be denied the American people. They have to know their past.” He said a foundation has offered to help pay the costs of moving it back to the U.S., and he’s been in talks with museums and a university about putting it on display, but there’s no timeline yet on when the house may return. His dream would be to see the derelict home reconstructed on the lawn of the White House with the blessing of U.S. President Donald Trump. “Trump says that he’s not a racist. This would be a wonderful moment for him to redeem himself in the eyes of Americans,” Mendoza said. “He wants to embrace all of America’s past. Why not embrace the house that Rosa Parks once lived in?” McCauley, Parks’ niece who still lives in Detroit, told The Associated Press that she would welcome the home’s return to the U.S. “We need all the help we can get, in light of all current events,” she said.

ART IS THE WORD IN ILWACO

Galleries and IF YOU GO businesses unite ILWACO ART WALK to cap the summer 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Friday, By PATRICK WEBB FOR COAST WEEKEND

ILWACO, WASH. — One simple three-letter word may spark a renaissance for businesses in downtown and waterfront Ilwaco. Art. That’s the hope of Penny Treat and Marie Powell, artists and gallery owners who organize the Ilwaco Art Walks. The fourth Art Walk of the summer takes place 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1. Supported by the Ilwaco Merchants Association and Port of Ilwaco, the duo helped lure visitors to this summer’s three prior “First Friday” events. “It was like a watershed — people had been waiting for something like this to happen,” Treat said. They are hoping for a good turnout for the final art walk. Seven galleries are signed up, five on Howerton Way, the waterfront street at the Port, plus two downtown. As well as the gallery owners and the artists they support year-round, work by Wally Mann of Tokeland and David Campiche, of Seaview, will be highlighted. Additionally, nine neighboring businesses, including several cafes, Ilwaco’s bookstore and its yoga studio, will welcome visitors. Powell, who splits her time between Ilwaco and New Zealand, is delighted the art walks have returned. She was involved in promoting them about 10 years ago before the peninsula’s roller-coaster tourism/fishing economy took a dive. “I am glad to see them

an art destination. We have galleries here, and we just have to attract more artists. The art walk is one way to do this. “The economy is picking up, and we are seeing more and more art buyers coming to the galleries this year.” Treat, a watercolorist and woodblock artist, operates ArtPort Gallery in conjunction with silversmith Luisa Mack and Barbara Mallon, who produces encaustic art using hot wax. She, too, has high hopes that the art walks will help spark a revival of Ilwaco, which has some empty storefronts. “This could be something that transforms the community around a wonderful sleeping fishing village to somewhere sustainable,” Treat said. She is delighted that the city of Ilwaco and the Columbia Pacific Museum support continuing the concept next year. “We may try to get wineries or a brewery involved, and maybe do an art fair with even a street dance, like in the old days,” she said. Treat invites those attending this year’s final Art Walk to enjoy a pleasant evening walk between the port and downtown while savoring the treats on tap. “There’s uniqueness in every one of these businesses. There’s something charming about them all.” And she believes that experiencing the beauty of art could have a therapeutic effect. “Original art is for everyone — and art has a way of calming the nerves of many people,” Treat said. “There is an undercurrent of sadness in the world, but the arts can take away sadness and transport you to another time and another place.” CW

MILL POND [MIL PÄND]

Also, millpond or mill-pond

noun 1. a small body of water used to either power a mill through damming a natural source of running water and diverting the flow to a wheel, or, in the case of a log pond, was a calm body of water used to store floating logs before they are processed in a sawmill 2. Mill Pond Village: a16-acre residential development built snugly around a 3.7 acre former log pond on the Riverwalk just east of downtown Astoria. Zoned as a mixed-use project, the high density neighborhood was erected upon the razed site of the Astoria Plywood Cooperative, which operated as the central lumber hub in the area for over 120 years and was Astoria’s largest employer when the employee-owned operation shut down in 1989. Designated as a brownfield site due to toxic contamination, the city and state spent four years in the 1990s cleaning up the site, which includ-

ed the removal of 6000 cubic yards of soil and sediment and discharging over 57,000 gallons of clean water. In 1999 Venerable Properties acquired the scrubbed land from the city and began development of the neighborhood, which includes four public parks

Origin:

The compound was first recorded in English around 1640, though mills had been widely used in the British Isles since the medieval period and appeared in many different cultures of antiquity before that, including ancient China, ancient Rome and ancient Persia. Mille arrives around 1390, formerly mylne before 1225, which developed from the Old English mylen, all of which referred to machinery created to grind grain. Around 1300 ponde enters use as a variant of pound, meaning an enclosed place. This additional meaning of pound still exists today in reference to animal shelters. Originally ponde only referred to an artificially created body of water. In May 2017 the city of Astoria officially dedicated

the water feature of Mill Pond Village as the DeMuro Mill Pond to honor the late Art DeMuro, the founder of Venerable Properties, who was instrumental in spearheading the rebirth of the blighted property with an eye toward sustainable, environmentally sound architecture. “Palmberg Construction company, Astoria, will begin dredging out the millpond to a depth of four feet below mean low water next week, using a specially-built pipeline suction dredge that has just been completed. The pond, long used by a sawmill that formerly occupied the plywood mill site, has been silting up for years and is now dry except at high tide.” —“Plywood Mill Opening Near: Astoria Project Makes Progress,” The Sunday Oregonian, May 6, 1951, P. 26 “Lasting evidence of DeMuro’s attachment to Astoria was his request to have his ashes deposited in the mill pond.” —“Editor’s Notebook: Mill Pond rose from the ashes of the Astoria Plywood Coop,” The Daily Astorian, Friday, May 6, 2016 “The Astoria Co-Op Grocery has signed a lease to build a new store on the site of the former Astoria Plywood Cooperative at the corner of 23rd Street and Marine Drive. The new location in Mill Pond, at more than 11,000 square feet, will increase the co-op’s retail footprint from 2,100 to 7,500 square feet and is expected to nearly triple the current staff of 25.” — Edward Stratton, “Astoria Co-op Grocery ﬁnds a new location,” The Daily Astorian, Wednesday, May 31, 2017 CW

DRAGONFLY By LYNETTE RAE McADAMS

FOR COAST WEEKEND

All across the globe, on every continent save Antarctica, wherever there is water, there are also dragonflies. Strange and beautiful, these unique insects, whose species number more than 7,000, all belong to the scientific orders Odonata and Anisoptera, meaning, “toothed, with an uneven wing.” Beloved by humans, these striking, colorful fliers have inhabited Earth for at least 300 million years — plenty of time, apparently, to perfect their charms while honing their survival skills. Compared to most other flying insects, whose wings hinge on a single muscle, dragonflies are highly specialized instruments of flight. With four iridescent appendages attached along the thorax to four individual muscles, they have nearly perfect control of their maneuverability, cruising through the air in all six directions, at speeds up to 30 mph. Their added ability to hover perfectly, for seemingly endless lengths of time, has made them the envy of aeronautic engineers the world over. As well adapted as they are to the skies, it comes as some surprise that very little of a dragonfly’s life is actually lived on the wing. Hatched from an egg, it gets its start as a nymph, spending up to two years in the water before making its fated, primordial crawl toward land. Emerging from the natal pond, it takes a few moments to adapt to the air, and then, with a sudden

forcefulness, its exoskeleton cracks in half and a fully formed dragonfly unfurls itself from the wreckage. Once emancipated — its fresh new wings primed with blood and oxygen — a young dragonfly’s first step turns quickly into a first flight, and for the rest of its short life, which can last from several weeks to several months, it will hardly ever stop flying. Even while eating, a dragonfly can remain in flight. One of nature’s most successful predators, with a 95-percent kill rate and a sophisticated taste for other flying bugs, it snatches its victims mid-air, holding them tight with its legs, then crushing and devouring them with a set of jagged, vice-like mandibles. Fortunately for humans, such terrifying traits are lessened when they come from something as small as a modern dragonfly, but consider this: Fossilized records of this creature’s ancient forbears show they once had

a wingspan of almost 30 inches. Equally as impressive as its wings are Odonata’s eyes. With 30,000 facets each, they encompass almost the entire head, offering the insect nearly 360 degrees of visibility. Additionally, extra specialized, light-sensitive proteins in the eye help enrich a dragonfly’s perception of the world. While our eyes also contain such proteins, called opsins, we have only three, and see all colors as a combination of red, blue and green. Dragonflies, however, have up to 30 opsin in each eye, and visualize colors we can’t begin to imagine. Culturally, dragonflies have long been perceived as having magical, spiritual properties, and are a symbol of good luck and self-actualized metamorphosis. In China and Japan, parts of the dragonfly are still used by practitioners of traditional medicine. In Indonesia, adult fliers are caught by hand, then deep fried in hot oil and served as a delicacy.
