Rethink how to reuse items Fashion show, silent auction offers ideas SEASIDE — R³ (Reuse, Recycle, Repurpose) is the theme for the Our Lady of Victory Church Women’s Ministry Luncheon, Fashion Show and Silent Auction. The fun begins 11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 14 at 120 Ocean St. in Seaside. Come see what the ladies have created from old clothing, household and garden items repurposed from rummage donations. Organizers hope to give you alternate options in repurposing lightly used clothing and items instead of throwing them away. CARTM in Manzanita and Recology Western Oregon in Warrenton have given organizers many ideas in how recycling saves energy and natural resources.

This re-purposed old window frame will be in the silent auction. – SUBMITTED PHOTO

The public is invited to join the women’s ministry for this fun and informational afternoon. There is a $10 per person suggested donation for this event. For reservations and more information, call Jan Lambert at 503-473-6512.

Last week’s Clatsop ican alligators, one of which was County Fair offered all kinds of opportunities for fun. I headed to the fairgrounds last weekend with some friends to check it out. One of the first things we spotted was a face painting booth. To get into the spirit of things, we decided to give it a go. I chose a sparkly eye-mask design myself; my friends sported matching mustaches for a dollar and received lots of compliments as we walked around. 4-H and FFA weren’t things I grew up with, so the scope and amount of animal exhibits and shows at the fair always impress me: pigs and piglets, sheep, cows, horses, turkeys, ducks, chickens and more. The soft rabbits were fun to look at, all so different and friendly. A small Old English Game rooster was stunning with its colorful plumage. Brad’s World of Reptiles gave us a look at some more exotic creatures. In addition to an iguana, snakes, turtles and bugs, there were also two small Amer-

calmly held by an staffperson. For less ferocious animal fun, we checked out the petting zoo. I brushed some friendly goats, but the small pot-bellied pig seemed more interested in munching on grass. We were surprised to spot a shy mara, a large rodent from the cavy family. Native to Patagonia in South America, maras look sort of like large, stocky rabbits with long, skinny legs. The Clatsop County Logging Show and Competition was in full swing during our visit,

complete with men hurdling over huge logs in timed races and the loud buzz of chain saws. A county fair wouldn’t be complete without the food. I enjoyed some Southern barbecued beef brisket, my friends chowed down on mixed-berry homemade pie, and we all split a bloomin’ onion. My friend was also pleased to see the chimnik food stand open, which she had enjoyed during the Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival in June. Chimnik, or trdelnik, is an East European pastry in the form of a hollow cylinder – a “chim-

ney cake – which can be enjoyed empty or filled with goodies like ice cream. We ended our visit with a stomach-flipping ride at the carnival. The sun was shining and the sweet smell of fried food was in the air: a good ending to a relaxing day at the fair.

The Perseids: Now playing in a sky near you

The annual Perseid meteor shower peaks Monday, Aug. 12. Check out these tips on how to best catch the show.

Every year at the height of summer, as Earth continues its dependable journey around the sun, the silver screen of an August sky plays backdrop to Mother Nature’s biggest blockbuster of the season: the annual Perseid meteor shower. Officially recorded for the first time by Chinese astronomers in 36 A.D., this celestial show has been delighting humankind for millennia, and with good reason – when perfect timing pairs up with pleasant weather, skywatchers throughout the Northern Hemisphere can expect to see up to 80 meteors per hour streaking dramatically against the nighttime sky. On a clear night, it’s an event well worth losing a little sleep over. And here in the Columbia-Pacific region, with our myriad of darkened nooks and crannies tucked well away from big city lights, the best opportunity to “catch” these heavenly wonders will arrive late in the evening on Sunday, Aug. 11 and continue through the early morning hours of Monday, Aug. 12. Commonly called “shooting stars” or “falling stars,” meteors are actually tiny bits of space debris (typically dust, rock or ice) that burn up as they enter Earth’s atmosphere, leaving a fleeting trace of ionization in their path, which becomes visible to the naked eye. Surprisingly, most aren’t much bigger than a grain of sand or a small pebble, and they plummet through space at speeds of up to 160,000 mph. Though they occur constantly and unpredictably throughout the year, there are times when meteors appear in greater number and with clockwork precision – times astronomers refer to as meteor “showers.” The direct result of a sort of cosmic collision, these events occur when Earth, on its orbit around the sun, encounters a wide field of debris left behind by a traveling comet. Several of these showers grace our planet every year, but the Perseid – brought to us courtesy of the comet Swift-Tuttle – is the most famous and certainly one of the most impressive, with local enthusiast

Bob Duke billing it as “the world’s most popular natural sky show.” As a veteran amateur astronomer and regional astronomy educator, Duke has been leading people to discover the wonders of the darkened sky for more than 20 years, and the Perseids, he says, are a long-held favorite. Though not as bright or plentiful as their cousins the Geminids (which amp up in chilly December), the Perseid shower takes preference because “the weather is warm, the kids are out of school, a lot of people are camping” and, most importantly, “it’s one really reliable show.”

Commonly called ‘shooting stars’ or ‘falling stars,’meteors are actually tiny bits of space debris (typically dust, rock or ice) that burn up as they enter Earth’s atmosphere ... Surprisingly, most aren’t much bigger than a grain of sand or small pebble. For the most successful viewing, Duke’s first piece of advice is paramount: “Get away from direct light,” or at the very least try to be shadowed from it. After that, “look for any open space” (beaches, rivers, bays and meadows are all good choices) and “unobstructed sky.” Sharp eyes will notice that the meteors radiate from the direction of the constellation Perseus – hence their name – so looking toward the northeast, where Perseus will

Perseid meteor shower The Perseid meteor shower peaks this year on Aug. 12, but meteors should still be visible in number on the several days surrounding. If clouds obstruct your view, keep checking back – the skies are always changing.

rise, could provide a better view. But experienced watchers know to be looking everywhere. “You can sit and stare at Perseus all you want, and see nothing,” Duke says, smiling, “while the guy behind you is shouting out every other second.” For this reason, “the Perseids are best seen with the naked eye and in a group – that way you can cover more of the sky at once and hear all the ‘oohs’ and ‘ahhs.’” Duke recommends reclining lawn chairs and plenty of warm clothes or blankets, and since the best viewing will occur in the pre-dawn hours of Aug. 12 (specifically between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.), a thermos of hot coffee might not be a bad idea either.

Join Bob Duke at the KOA campground in Bay Center, Wash., on Aug. 11 and 12 (sunset to sunrise) for a night sky tour. Learn the constellations, discover deep sky nebula, and count meteor flashes against an open sky. Call 1-800-5627810 for reservations. Bring binoculars. “The moon sets early, so it will be a dark night,” Duke says, reminding us that a bright moon is no friend to meteor-seekers. “But the real peak happens at about noon our time. That’s great for the folks in, say, northern Germany, but not so lucky for us.” Never fear; even with this timely disadvantage, a clear night – or even a sporadically clear night (this is the coast, after all) – should still offer a spectacular display. So plan to stay up late, or plan to wake up early; plan for a nap, or plan for a double latte. But plan on the Perseids. Great things happen under cover of darkness, and for a sky-show like this one, the all-nighter will be well worth it.

ART WALK ART BUSINESSES

Old Town Framing 1287 Commercial St. Old Town Framing Company presents Jeri Slevin, at one with a garden shear or a prismacolor pencil. She does things that bring her joy. One of those things is making art. Her imagery ranges from monochromatic portraits to the simplest of singular happiness, the peach. She prefers paint and colored pencils, although her show will include some of her 3D work. Slevin’s work has been in galleries in Bend and Seattle, but this is her first show in Astoria. “I know painting is a room into which we step; a garden is a home, entire. And bread is a loaf or an alligator or something not yet imagined,” she says. Tempo Gallery at AMF 1271 Commercial St. Yvonne Edwards will be the featured artist at Tempo Gallery this month. “I like to paint images that have heart and meaning for me,” she says, “such as Fred (Johnson)’s beautiful farm in Naselle, (Wash.,) the view of the Columbia River from my house, tropical leaves, portraits of friends, images of the Buddha and

places where I’ve had meaningful experiences. I will show my first oil painting series inspired by leaves that look like birds, called ‘Roots and Wings.’ Tempo Gallery is a collective of 11 artists. Jackson Andrews will play guitar. Refreshments will be served. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. RiverSea Gallery presents three solo shows this August.

In “Seine Nets and Regattas,” Leslie Peterson offers a glimpse into Astoria’s lively past in paintings inspired by historic photographs and rendered on plywood panels or textured plaster. Portland artist Jesse Reno exhibits complex, multi-layered paintings abundant with magical beings, evocative writings and personal symbology. In “Mermaids and Water Creatures,” an exhibition of sculpture by Isabelle JohnstonHaist, mermaids frolic with fantasy creatures of the deep. Fernhill Glass Studio 1450 Exchange St. Fernhill’s Claude Kurtz just returned from the Oregon Beer Fest in Portland’s Waterfront Park, and he has beer mugs left over.

Ferhill Glass will be open for sales and glass demonstrations 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday. Astoria Fiber Arts Academy 1290 Duane St. The fiber arts academy will host work by Seattle fiber artist Rita Brown. Brown used to live in Clatsop County,

working in graphic arts. Since then, she has moved on to working in theater as a costume artist. “Hats and costumes can help convey a sense of time and mood, evil or goodness, lightness or darkness, being graceful or bungling. So much responsibility for a hat!” she says. “I make hats to portray an idea and convey a feeling. Fabric is so malleable. The colors, textures and shapes are endless. I enjoy taking a castoff item such as a scrap of fabric or a bit of trim and repurposing it into something useful once again. “I find a satisfying sense of whimsy and playfulness in my hats. They make me laugh or smile. In this world, there is enough sorrow. I would like people to take away a cheerful moment to remember. These decorative hats are made with a wire frame and would be of no use in the rain.” Studio 11 453-A 11th St. For the months of August and September, Studio 11 will show the work of Valerie Wittlesey, with an artist reception during the August Second Saturday Art Walk. Wittlesey is an abstract artist. She has been painting with tempera and water colors since she was 5 years old and began painting with oils at 8. She received a graduate degree in painting and printmaking in 1977. She also has been gardening since a young age and considers her gardens live paintings. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Imogen is pleased to celebrate its first anniversary with “Passages,” a new collection of paintings by Greece-born Christos Koutsouras. Known for his large

tiu n o C dfrom e ag P 8 e atmospheric landscape paintings, Koutsouras brings a series of works on canvas inspired by sky and sea and a metaphorical look at what lies between. Provocative and moody exploration through use of scale and subtlety of color typify Koutsouras’ skills as a painter and his reputation that spans continents. Relatively new to the Astoria art community, this will be Koutsouras’ first solo exhibition on the West Coast. All are invited to join in the celebration during Second Saturday Artwalk. There will be a gala reception; Astoria Coffeehouse and Bistro will provide fantastic fare, and Kim’s Kitchen will supply Korean favorites. KALA Gallery 1017 Marine Drive For this month’s art walk, KALA presents Newport artist Sandy Roumagoux. She received her Bachelor and Master of Fine Art degrees from the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville where she stayed to teach courses in art and design. She grew up on a farm in Oregon’s Willamette Valley where “gun cabinets were as normal a piece of furniture as the dining table.” Currently, she is serving a twoyear term as mayor of Newport and is melding her love of politics with that of an artist. The paintings chosen for this exhibit include work completed during the last three years. Roumagoux works almost exclusively in oils – a medium she never tires of. The landscapes are of Lincoln County. “The subject matter is dictated by my visceral reaction to what I observe. If my reaction is strong, then I know I need to paint it,” she says.

This series of concerts will be the first time the two brothers have joined together as a team to present a musical event on this scale. Cary Pederson’s Beacock Music Concert Band is a 40member ensemble in Vancouver that is part of the New Horizons music program in operation across the nation. The program provides an entry point to music-making for adults, many of retirement age. Its motto: “If you consider yourself to be an adult, you’re eligible.” The first New Horizons program was founded in 1991 at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, N.Y. The 60-member and still growing Columbia River Symphony is comprised of both adults and youth from local schools. Led by conductor Cory Pederson and assisted by Angela Pederson-Calvin, the Columbia River Symphony is a community-based, all-volunteer, nonprofit performing arts group. Its mission is to provide quality entertainment, increase visibility of the musical talents of its performers and promote music education in the community.

CANNON BEACH — White Bird Gallery is pleased to open a new exhibition featuring oil painters Ken Grant and Randall Tipton and glass sculpture artists Jeremy Newman and Allison Ciancibelli. There will be an artists’ reception 4 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10 at White Bird Gallery, which is located at 251 N. Hemlock St. in Cannon Beach. The exhibition will run Aug. 10 to Sept. 15. For more information, call 503-436-2681 or visit www.whitebirdgallery.com Ken Grant has been a fulltime painter for more than 30 years. As a former Cannon Beach resident his work has gained much popularity on the coast during his three decades of exhibiting at White Bird Gallery. The Oregon artist is known for his renderings of empty rooms and architectural spaces that capture the shifting light of day, casting shadows on lone still life objects. Grant’s signature element of calm seas outside the windows and doorways of his rooms evoke a serene feeling among viewers. Rooted in illustration, Grant’s highly refined style resembles photo-realism. His pieces are created from a number of model and still life studies that are composed into imaginary scenes that evoke both illusions and reality. Randall Tipton uses the landscape as a guiding orientation in his paintings, suggesting something fundamental and primal by reducing the complexity of scene into bands of color and gesture. He uses soft tones and expressive brushwork that is often achieved through a trial and error process, resulting in paintings that have an undeniable authenticity. Inspired by the abstract expressionists, Tipton’s scenes of various Oregon landscapes are akin to nature in their essence. Alluding to a dreamlike

state, Tipton’s compositions challenge the relationship between foreground and background as elements of light and depth create a degree of abstraction among his recognizable scenes. Tipton studied painting with Richard Diebenkorn at the Santa Fe Institute of Fine Arts and is an Oregon artist who has been painting for more than three decades, working in oils on canvas as well as with various water media on paper and yupo surfaces. His work is included in several prominent collections such as the U.S. Embassy in El Salvador and Newsweek.

with rugged mountains, sagebrush foothills and narrow river valleys. Observation of the sparse lowland areas is where this artist team finds its voice. Weathered fence posts, abandoned farm lands, a harvest moon and the cyclic change of seasons and rhythms of the land are transformed into subtle expressions of simple abstract imagery illuminating from each glass form.

MobileMagic LightBox Photographic Gallery opens new monthly juried show of photographs taken with cell phones

Can it be true? Cell phone photos in a fine art gallery? In a juried show open to anyone? It’s true. Whether you’re a 13-year-old from Singapore or an established artist in Astoria, you can be a part of the new MobileMagic show at LightBox Photographic Gallery, located at 1045 Marine Drive. An ongoing exhibit, MobileMagic will show a new set of 25 prints each month, starting with the first opening this Saturday night. (If this is the first you’ve heard of MobileMagic, you can submit entries for next month’s show or get a new app to jazz up your photos.) The emergence of cell phone photography and the apps available to manipulate these images means that today almost everyone carries a camera and a computer at all times. LightBox co-owner Michael Granger is counting on this fact to provide shows with images that are both serendipitous and creative. The juror for this month’s show (there will be a different juror every month) is Aline Smithson, fine art photographer and publisher of the blogzine Lenscratch. “It dawned on me recently,” she said, “that it might be only a matter of time until photography moves completely to cell phone capture, and for those outside of the fine art world, it probably already has. As photographers, we need to look at the cell phone as another tool and another possibility.” Granger, whom you may see photographing Astoria with his own iPhone, says MobileMagic is

‘As photographers, we need to look at the cell phone as another tool and another possibility.’ “about combining a unique form of imagery that we see more of every day with our respect for the print. As a fine art presence and print house, (LightBox is) putting images on a fine art gallery wall instead of leaving them on a phone.” Not only that, but every entrant – not just the 25 winners – will receive a print of their image. Not some drugstore print, mind you. Granger will send everyone who enters a 5.5-inch by 8-inch

archival print of their photograph, printed on 100 percent cotton rag paper. The cost of the print alone is more than the $10 entry fee. If you are one of the 25 monthly winners, your print will be on 8.5inch by 11-inch paper, and it will shown at the gallery for a month and exhibited in an online gallery for a year. Prints exhibited in the gallery will be offered for sale for $35, if the photographer wishes. “We have never had cell phone images in the gallery,” says Granger, and then he laughs. “At least not knowingly.” From now on, however, there will be a grid of 25 new cell phone pictures every month, and cell phone photographers will get to

see their pictures next to those of photographers from around the world. So far, LightBox has indeed received entries from all over the world, but only a few have come from Clatsop County. Granger thinks the new monthly photo exhibit will catch on, though: “This is a fun, light-hearted thing – a new thing to enjoy on Second Saturdays, and we hope the community will embrace it.”

So Roscoe stepped into the presidential role and has not only revived what was nearly lost but has added to it. “We have more partners this year and a broader range of community partners, like the Columbia Memorial Hospital, the Flavel House – we’re even including the Fisher Poets.”

Salmon: A Culinary Heritage “The Regatta started from salmon fisherman coming back from Alaska with their catch,” Rosco continued. “So it was a celebration of that fresh resource, and, as a restauranteur, I have reached out to the restaurant community to include them. We’ve all contributed to and benefited by our collective effort to make Astoria a culinary spot. So for the (Admiral’s) Reception this year, we are teaming up with the Columbia River Maritime Museum – they are letting us use their space for no charge – and we are going to have six local restaurants participating, instead of just having it at one place. Roscoe is not only interested in expanding the partnership opportunities for the Regatta with local businesses and organizations, but he also wants to build a sustainable structure that benefits everyone. “The Regatta is not asking for a donation this time – everyone will get paid. There are a number of times throughout the year when the restaurant collective participates in events, and most of the time restaurants are asked to donate. But in this case, no.” The participating restaurants are the Bridgewater Bistro, Astoria Coffeehouse and Bistro, Silver Salmon, Baked Alaska, T. Paul’s Urban Cafe, T. Paul’s Supper Club, and, of course, Fulio’s Pastaria, Seakhouse and Deli. Roscoe’s involvement ensures that the central feature of the Regatta – a working maritime tradition and the salmon resource – remain at center stage for the festival.

Astoria

Regatta: Back from the brink

The 119-year-old Oregon Heritage Tradition festival runs Wednesday to Sunday, Aug. 7 to 11

Story by CATE GABLE

After last year’s Astoria Regatta, it looked like the whole event might come to an end. No one was stepping up to take a leadership role as president to continue the festival that began in 1894. Could 119 years of tradition disappear? Fortunately not. Peter Roscoe, proprietor of Fulio’s Pastaria, Steakhouse and Deli in Astoria and former Astoria city councilor, stepped in to make sure the seafaring celebration and heritage of Astoria would continue. “I didn’t want to let the tradition die,” said Roscoe. “My dad was the vice admiral for the Regatta in 1957. When we moved here in 1956, we came on the day of the Regatta, and my sister thought the parade and celebration was all for us! I remember it as a kid when I was growing up. I remember selling ice cream and being in the Regatta parade back in the days when there was a YMCA – and I also marched in the Drum and Bugle Corps. “When people ask me what my favorite Oregon things are I say I have two of them: the Oregon Coast Invitational Golf Tournament and the Astoria Regatta parade. When I heard there was the possibility of suspending or canceling the Regatta, I thought, ‘We can’t do that!’” 12 | August 8, 2013 | coastweekend.com

Another addition to the celebration this year is the inclusion of several wooden boats, which you view for free 4 p.m. Saturday in the Columbia River Maritime Museum parking lot. The idea originated with Sam Johnson, executive director of the maritime museum. Several boat enthusiasts wrote asking about the Regatta and the possibility of participating. Tom Ferrenburg, born and raised in Oregon, was one who inquired. “My mom and dad always had a beach house, so I used to live here three months of the year as a kid. Then I got interested in drift boats – the McKenzie-style boats from the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s. So I’m bringing down a McKenzie drift boat duplication that I built.” Ferrenburg explained that the boats were used in the Rogue, Deschutes and John Day rivers, among others, as the vessel of choice for guided tours. In fact, President Franklin D. Roosevelt road in a drift boat in Oregon in 1938, according to Ferrenburg. “Those rivers were navigable only if you had a boat that could take a beating. So these were a simply design, nothing fancy,” Ferrenburg said. “They were designed for heavy use, for rocks and category three and four rapids – so it lends itself to the Oregon waters. Basically you’d drive up the river 80 to 90 miles with your client, and you’d have oars, and the current of the river was the boat’s propulsion. When you got to your destination you’d pull your boat out (of the water), and put it back on the rig.” The first drift boats were made beginning in 1928 with little changes to the design; although the boat Ferrenburg built was meant to be dual-purpose. “The one I made was purchased by a tugboat captain who likes to drift but doesn’t want to drive back to haul out. So he had me cut out the stern for a 50 horse-power outboard – he can toodle up the river and shut the motor and drift back down.” There will be three or four wooden boats as part of this year’s Regatta – perhaps even a few in the parade – with more wooden boats promised in the future. “They are looking to getting the Regatta back to the way it used to be, and getting more boats back in the water,” Ferrenburg said.

New and Noteworthy A new feature this year is the poster designed by local artist Noel Thomas; it will be the first in a series of three. Another new twist is that the Seamen’s Me-

morial 11 a.m. Friday, during which the U.S. Coast Guard sector commander lays a wreath for fallen seamen and women on the waters, will also include the ringing of a bell purchased specifically for the Regatta. “The Regatta is buying a bell, which will be inscribed with the name of the commander every year. The flowers will be laid on the water, and we’ll ring the bell for every year Astoria has been a Coast Guard city,” Roscoe said. “That should be a small but profound moment to kick things off after the coronation.” Of course, the court of young local women is part of the tradition. As Warrenton resident and last year’s Regatta Queen Emily Severson said, “The Regatta court is a great tradition. So many of my friends have looked forward to trying out for the court in their junior year.” Severson, who this fall will be attending Oregon State University’s honors college, majoring in chemical engineering and business management, said that being part of the Regatta was an experience she thoroughly enjoyed. “Being in the court was really beneficial for me. I’m not afraid to go out and talk to people I don’t know. It helped in my college interview. I know how to connect with different people and talk to the public, and that’s a skill that people need and mostly develop over time. But I’m comfortable with it now.” As reigning queen, Severson joins the four Regatta princesses this year: Michala Warren, Kim Dowaliby, Madison Hunt and Jamie Schraeder. Their duties are varied but keep them extremely busy, according to official chaperones Mike and Susan Wentworth. As Susan says, “We’ve been in several parades. We’ve been in the Founders Day Parade in Long Beach where we got the Sweepstakes Trophy and Second Place. We went to the Starlight Parade in Portland and won best illumination for our float. And the girls are doing their speeches to the various service groups. “They come here and dress – we take care of their regalia – and then we take them where they need to go. They are pretty busy girls.”

‘When I heard there was the possibility of suspending or canceling the Regatta, I thought, “We can’t do that!”‘

Here to Stay Without a doubt, the Astoria Regatta has not only been pulled back from a sink hole but is better than ever. Severson, who is relieved not to be giving a speech this year, says, “It’s so fortunate that Peter was able to step in and save the Regatta. It’s important to a lot of people in this community. It’s the oldest festival west of the Rocky Mountains, and a lot of people would be sad to see it die.” In fact, the Regatta has been officially recognized by the state as an Oregon Heritage Tradition, one of only four events to receive the honor. (The others include the Oregon State Fair, 1858; Linn County Pioneer Picnic, 1887; and the Pendleton Roundup, 1910.) “We recognize those traditions that have helped define the state,” said Heritage Commission Chairman David Lewis. “They are distinguished events that are part of our heritage as Oregonians.” If you’re a fan of the ceremonial side of the event, don’t miss the coronation, the Seamen’s Memorial, the rose planting or the Admiral’s Reception. If you just want to partake of some excellent food, be sure to catch the pancake breakfast or the Regatta Barbecue. If you’re just there for maritime fun, there’s the sailboat races, the wooden boats and, of course, grog at the Pirate’s Den. And don’t forget about the parades: The Astoria Regatta Junior Parade sponsored by AstoriaWarrenton Kiwanis, the big Regatta Grand Land Parade and the Regatta Boat Parade – followed by fireworks. In short, there is something for everyone. (For a full schedule, visit http://astoriaregatta.com) “There are a million moving parts at the Astoria Regatta, and the president has to touch all of them,” Roscoe said. “We’re going really well this year, and in a couple years we’ll be even better. The excitement and momentum is building again.”

The

Chinook Inn

A diner with good food, good spirit and good intentions

One of the most charming locales along our coastline is the tiny town of Chinook, Wash.: seemingly always-sunny street lined with vintage homes, well-kept gardens and a breathtaking view of the river from nearly every angle. I have often wondered, though, why such a lovely town has so few dining options, apart from bars and coffee stands. Admittedly, I have driven by the Chinook Inn before and not given much thought to stopping. On a recent evening, some good old-fashioned diner food seemed just the ticket, though, and I’m glad I dropped by. Chinook Inn feels like a Hollywood depiction of a diner in a small town, right down to the vinylcovered booths and built-in lunch counter. Our server seated us right away, and instantly charmed my children, who were with me, by bringing them coloring sheets and crayons, plus vintage wooden puzzles to play with. I began with a dinner salad and was pleasantly surprised that the salad seemed hand-crafted, with freshly chopped vegetables, croutons and a buttermilk-ranch dressing. The dressing, too, seemed housemade and with nice flavor and consistency, not the gloppy goo you find in many restaurants. I selected the first mate’s platter next, with battered and fried halibut, oysters, clam strips, prawns and scallops. In my position as the Mouth, I am often asked by readers about the best places for

coastal favorites such as fish and chips, clam chowder, and the like, so I try to sample these items often while I’m out. For its reasonable price tag of $14.95, this platter at the Chinook Inn is an exceedingly well-prepared and generous portion of fried seafood, and I found it very fresh and tasty. The breading was golden and crisp but not overly greasy, and even the French fries and cole slaw that accompanied the dish tasted fresh and homemade. A club sandwich, gargantuan in size with ham, turkey, bacon, Swiss and American cheeses, lettuce and tomato, followed next, and was equally as toothsome as the seafood platter. We all shared a cheeseburger, topped with the traditional fixings, and though it was edible, it wasn’t nearly as tasty as the other two entrees. The meat patty was thin and overly cooked; everything else I had sampled seemed fresh and homemade that I wondered why the hamburger patty wasn’t similarly prepared. A burger is a diner standard, and the one served at Chinook Inn could be improved with a seasoned, hand-shaped patty, cooked to order. This is a minor change with major impact. While we were dining, I overheard our server discussing the evening’s “special,” meatloaf, with another patron, and I thought aloud that I wished I had room to order that. Yes, it’s true, readers; I can never seem to make a fantastic meatloaf in my own kitchen, despite many different recipes and methods of cooking, so I am always looking for a

ATMOSPHERE: Chinook Inn is an old, small-town diner, complete with vinyl-covered booths, wood paneling and a lunch counter. While a little outdated and stuffy feeling, it is clean, warm and pleasant.

SERVICE: Our server was exceptionally friendly and went out of her way to make sure we were well taken care of and satisfied with our meal. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS:There are meatless breakfast options, including a veggie Swiss omelet and a green salad available at lunch and dinner. The menu could be enhanced by adding even a veggie burger or sandwich to the lunch menu, or a vegetarian pasta to the dinner menu. DRINKS: Coffee, tea, juices, soft drinks and a full bar.

Fort George Brewery hosts activities, music this weekend ASTORIA — The Fort George Brewery will continue its Parking Lot Party tradition for the 2013 Astoria Regatta. People on the Fort George Brewery block will be able to watch the Regatta Grand Land Parade at noon from the patio and parking lot beer garden, see the Regatta Boat Parade from 1 to 4 p.m. and the fireworks display from 9:30 to 10 p.m. The parking lot stage will be graced by the Astoria area’s very own living legend Michael Hurley as well as Portland’s Parson Red Heads. Music starts at 6:30 p.m. and goes until the fireworks end. From the Lovell Taproom to the Parking Lot Beer Garden, to the Public House and new second level, Fort George is the place to be for Regatta Saturday. The Parking Lot Party is family and pet friendly, and there is no cover charge. Tracing the lineage of the

New Weird America, one can’t help but mention the music of bizarre folk musician Michael Hurley. If you haven’t been following his career since the 1970s then you probably discovered him in the past couple of years. Hurley’s debut album, “First Songs,” was recorded for Folkways Records in 1965 on the same reel-to-reel machine that taped Lead Belly’s Last Sessions. He made three more albums in the 1970s. In recent years, tours with Son Volt and high praise from younger performers like Lucinda Williams, Vic Chesnutt, Calexico and Cat Power have increased Hurley’s legend. The Portland-based Parson Red Heads have honed a sound that calls in influences like the Byrds, Big Star, Wilco and

Jackson Browne. The tight-nit group of Evan Way, Brette Marie Way, Sam Fowles and Charlie Hester have a rock-n-roll sound that only comes from experience. Their chemistry, generous spirit, masterful songwriting, graceful guitar lines and harmonies are something to behold.

Examine life in North Portland via Polaroid

‘Au Naturel’

LightBox Photographic welcomes Bobby Abrahamson

CCC calls for art for 2014 exhibition

ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will hold an artist reception for photographer Bobby Abrahamson’s new exhibit “North Portland Polaroids” 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10. Abrahamson is a Portlandbased documentary photographer, filmmaker and media educator with 25 years of professional experience producing documentary work. He has five published books of his work and has been featured in 12 solo shows and numerous group exhibits in the US and Europe. His work is included in the permanent collections of many institutions, including the Portland Art Museum. He has a Master of Arts degree in media studies from The New School, a university in New York City. Abrahamson has spent the past two years shooting hun-

dreds of Polaroid Type 55 portraits of strangers he has encountered on the streets of St. Johns, a distinct, historically workingclass neighborhood in North Portland where he lives. This expired, out-of-production, soonto-be-extinct film produces both a print and a negative, providing Abrahamson the incentive he uses to entice his subjects to pose for a portrait. The photographer gives his subjects the instant print, while keeping the 4-inch-by-5-inch negatives for himself. He has compiled 70 images from this series in a recently published monograph. Julia Dolan, the Minor White Curator of Photography at the Portland Art Museum, writes about the project in the book’s foreword: “Abrahamson meets these people exactly where they are, precisely where they want to

or should be. Himself a resident of St. Johns, Abrahamson is not only their photographer, but their neighbor, and his subjects respect this – notice how close he manages to get to so many of them. “Their command of space and direct gazes attest to an undistracted presence, a strong link to their environment, and a wary trust in the artist ... this place isn’t just anywhere. It is St. Johns, and these are its people, quietly yet eloquently described by Bobby Abrahamson and his photographs.” Also opening is LightBox’s first MobileMagic exhibit, a monthly display of the artistry of cell phone photography.

These exhibits will run from Aug. 10 to Sept. 7. LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive in Astoria. The gallery also provides fine photographic printing, restoration and framing services. Contact LightBox at 503468-0238 or info@lightboxphotographic.com, and visit lightbox-photographic.com for more information.

Peninsula Arts Center welcomes Kris Deelane Fixture of the Northwest music scene comes to the peninsula LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Peninsula Arts Center welcomes Kris Deelane for a concert 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 10. Raised in suburban Los Angeles during the punk rock era, Deelane’s influences were diverse – from The Beatles and Neil Young to The Pretenders. The sense of righteous defiance coupled with a tragic flair resonated. Deelane started her music career in college as keyboardist and singer in an Andrew Sistersmeets-B52s group called Alice, I Wonder. In 1990, she toured the Soviet Union singing in a production of “Fiddler on the Roof.” When she got back to

Los Angeles, she got behind the drums for the first time in the band Slaughterhouse 5, and she played bass in a ska band. Her vocal qualities earned her guest recording spots with nationally acclaimed groups The Decemberists and Jerry Joseph. More recently, Deelane has put her energy into developing her solo career. She’s now in the process of playing music, writing new material and putting together the Kris Deelane Band. Tickets are $12 at the door, and reservations are recommended; they can be made at www.peninsulaartscenter.org or by calling 360-642-2011.

Ahoy! Babes in boats ahead Columbia River Kayaking to offer kayaking clinic for women and girls SKAMOKAWA, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Internationally renowned kayaking coach Ginni Callahan has returned to the Columbia Pacific Region for the 2013 season to join her five partners who own and operate Columbia River Kayaking. The company offers sea kayaking instruction and tours on the Lower Columbia River and Pacific coast. Callahan and her fellow owner-coaches offer more than 30 beginner-toadvanced classes and tours so far this season. One of the most popular classes, taught by Callahan, is Babes in Boats, a kayaking clinic for women and girls. This year, the class will run the weekend of Aug. 24 and 25. According to Callahan, Babes in Boats is a lighthearted approach to kayaking safety, efficiency, grace and power particularly tailored for women. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find it fun to work with groups of gals,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They tend to relax and be playful together

more than in a mixed group. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re smiling and building camaraderie, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to learn more than you ever thought you could.â&#x20AC;? The Babes in Boats kayaking clinic costs $225. It will be held at Skamokawa Landing. For more information, visit www.columbiariverkayaking .com. To register, call 360-8494016 or email info@columbia riverkayaking.com As a British Canoe Union (BCU) Level 4 coach, Callahan is one of the most highly certified coaches in the U.S., backed by both the BCU and the American Canoe Association. Students have come to her from Chile, Tasmania, Sweden, Canada and Venezuela. Only three other women in the U.S. have achieved the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest Leadership Award, the British Canoe Unionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 5-Star.

and a knack for making some challenging skills approachable. This personal approach can be found throughout the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skilled and knowledgeable guides. All six owners have high levels of training and experience in developing the skills needed to explore and enjoy the sometimes challenging ocean and river conditions of the region. Paddling is an increasingly popular and diverse sport, and the Pacific Northwest offers a great diversity of venues, from protected lakes to the moderately challenging islands of the Columbia River, to the demanding Pacific coast. No matter what level a boater aspires to, or what boat they use, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good idea to take instruction in safety and good technique. Callahan has taught kayaking on the Lower Columbia for 15 years. She founded Columbia

Sarah Morgan, a local artist from Hammond, has worked in many art mediums. Most recently metalwork has inspired her to create new works on display now at Uptown Cafe in Warrenton. â&#x20AC;&#x201C;

Describe your studio: My studio is located in the metal shop next to my home. Favorite artistic subject: My favorite artistic subject would have to be the art of recycling â&#x20AC;&#x201C; creating beautiful priceless pieces of art from abandoned refuse. Do you have a day job? Yes, I have a day job. I am a sous chef at the Uptown CafĂŠ. A sunny summer day would find you: On the beach with my children, hiking on the coast, cruising on a longboard on the Astoria RiverWalk, tending to my land and home, or spending time with family and friends. What do you like about living at the coast? I love living on the coast for all of its natural beauty, its history, the arts and entertainment, and my Pacific Northwest roots (all of my family lives closeby).

Five Minutes With... SARAH MORGAN Born and raised: On the Oregon Coast; I grew up in Hammond. Lives now: I currently reside in the outskirts of Astoria on a serene peace of land in the country. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your work? I work with all metals, CNC machining, plasma cutting, welding/fabrication, blacksmithing, CAD, painting (mixed media, acrylic, oil, water color) and photography. My artwork is currently on display at the Uptown CafĂŠ, located at the Warrenton Highlands Plaza at 1639 S.E. Ensign Ave. in Warrenton. How did you get interested in art? I first began painting at

the age of 6, and my love for the arts grew from there. Eager to learn, I attended some art classes at Clatsop Community College while still in high school. I painted many murals on the walls at Warrenton High School and designed the yearbook cover my senior year. In 2002 I was awarded an art scholarship to continue my education at CCC. I went on to raise two beautiful children while continuing my painting and working with other forms of art. In 2007 I began costume and makeup designing and modeling. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve worked with more than 80 local artists and photographers. Recently, welding/fabrication has captured my interest

and inspiration, leading me to enroll at CCC as a welding student. What do you strive for when creating art? I strive to create original pieces inspired by the vast Oregon Coast and beauty of the Pacific Northwest. My metal work is first hand drawn and then fabricated in a metal shop.
