“You can sense it in the air, in the town, in the landscape and in the people – history is alive in all of the disparate parts that make up today’s Astoria,” reads the introduction to Donna Quinn’s piece, “The City and Today,” in the official commemorative program of the Astoria Bicentennial. History certainly is alive and well in Astoria, thanks to the efforts of citizens, businesses and organizations that strive to recognize and promote Astoria’s roots. I’ve almost reached my six-month anniversary in town, yet I am still constantly bumping into facets of Astoria’s past and that are new to me. I recently had the chance to attend a talk by Mac Burns, executive director of the Clatsop County Historical Society, at the Cannery Pier Hotel. Seated near a giant Christmas tree, I listened as he recounted the founding of Astoria. You might know the story: John Jacob Astor, Fort Astoria and the fur trade – the “dot-com” of the time, as Burns put it. Though I’d heard the story before, Burns described
personality quirks and the national state of mind – human elements that brought history to life. After the talk, Quinn, director of sales and marketing of the Cannery Pier Hotel, took me on a tour of the facilities. It was my first time in the bright red building, and while I couldn’t help but note the fireplaces in every room and the authentic Finnish sauna, what stood out the most to me was the art on the walls. No generic, boring prints here: The Cannery Pier Hotel boasts prints of cannery workers
and packers; fishermen, gillnetters and seiners; vintage canning labels; elaborate, colorful checks from the early 1900s and remarkable, eye-catching paintings by Northwest artist Sarah Goodnough. Goodnough’s colorful salmon swim over canvases, and boats sail beneath the awesome presence of the Astoria Bridge. All of it speaks to the history and location of the place. The bridge looms close above the hotel; I caught my breath a couple times at the view. And the hotel resides in the same spot where the Union Fisherman’s
Cooperative Packing Company stood from 1897 to the 1940s. “As Astoria evolves over time, it retains its unique character and powerful sense of place, offering deep connections to what is real and authentic,” reads another part of Quinn’s essay. I couldn’t agree more.

Beneath a distant
sun
A celebration of the winter solstice
H
ere at last, are the darkest of days. In perfect, time-worn rhythm, the earth has spun its way around the sun again, reaching the exact point on its path that will blanket a sleepy northern hemisphere in the year’s longest night. The ancient Romans called it “Saturnalia,” a venerable Nordic people named it “Juul,” and for early Native American tribes it was the day of “Soyal.”
Bare alders welcome the winter at Cape Disappointment in Ilwaco, Wash.
But here in the science-loving 21st century, we know it as the southern solstice, and for inhabitants of the Columbia-Pacific, it occurs at precisely 3:12 a.m. Friday, Dec. 21, marking the official arrival of winter. A solstice is an astronomical event that occurs twice each year as the appearance of the sun reaches its lowest or highest points in relation to the equator. Derived from the Latin words “sol” (sun) and “sistere” (to stand still), the name describes the view of the sun from the earth as it seemingly stops its motion in the heavens and, for a time, stands completely still before reversing direction and continuing on course. During the northern solstice, which occurs in June, the sun is at its highpoint – gracing inhabitants above the equator with the luxurious, sun-warmed days of summer. Come December, however, there’s a flip-side to the celestial coin, and with a switch of the seasons, the sun heads south and an entire half-planet must take its turn on the dark side. Fortunately, humankind has been dealing with these seasonal extremes for millennia, and not without a healthy dose of merriment. In fact, for most cultures, the highest holidays have long been celebrated during the darkest time of year. In the Neolithic Age, the great monument of Stonehenge was erected such that its axis aligned with the rising of December’s solstice sun, suggesting it played an important role in Midwinter – a key celebration for the pagan cultures of northern Europe.

holly and laurel – a reminder that life persists, even through the deadest of winters. In parts of Scandinavia, a large log symbolically carried the heavy burdens of a bygone year and was set to burn on the eve of the holiday, where, carefully tended for several days, it smoldered away the fears and sorrows of the past, its embers lighting a path of return for the wayward sun. Today, with our modern instruments of measure, we understand the southern solstice as one instant in time – the exact moment that the Earth’s North Pole is tilted farthest from the sun. But for our early ancestors, who had to rely mainly on appearances, the mirthful event was more prolonged,

Help provide birds with basic needs to weather the winter
winter food choice. There are nomelt suet cakes and specialty feed blends available with nuts, seed and other enticing elements added to the suet.
GREEN EARTH MEDIA GROUP – Winter is prime time for attracting birds. Beckoning birds to your backyard in winter can be easier than in any other season if you provide what they need to weather and survive the coldest months. Scarcity of natural available food, cold temperatures and severe storms push bird mortality high all winter long. You can help birds meet their nutritional needs during wintertime, and will surely be rewarded with a diverse, frequent flock of feathered friends. Elaine Cole, of Cole’s Wild Bird (http://coleswildbird.com) offers some timely tips to ensure birds in your backyard this win-
• Peanuts – From jays and titmice to nuthatches and chickadees, many backyard birds love this high-calorie, fat-rich nut. Because peanuts don’t freeze, they’re perfect for winter feeding. • Niger – Also known as thistle seed, this is a favorite food for winter finches such as pine siskins, redpolls and goldfinches. Another oily seed that offers lots of calories, niger helps birds store fat they need to keep warm. • Fruit – Many songbirds that favor fruit migrate in winter, but many other birds that stay in snowy areas year-round will also enjoy the treat. Offer chopped apples, orange wedges or banana slices on platform feeders, spikes
Backyard bird feeding ter season. Feeding birds is by far the simplest way to attract them. There are many kinds of bird feed to choose from, but much of it is produced as a sideline business and can contain low quality fill that birds won’t eat. Some bird feed has even been identified as containing toxins known to be harmful to wildlife. Responsible research on your bird feed choices will provide birds with the food they require and protect them from toxic chemicals. Adding the best winter bird food choices to your feeders when the temperatures drop will give birds the extra energy they need to survive even the worst
weather. Foods high in oil and fat are the most popular winter picks. • Black oil sunflower seeds – The seeds of this variety have slightly thinner shells and a higher oil content than other types of sunflower seeds, making them a more efficient and nutritious food. Offer them in platform, tube or hopper feeders to attract a wide range of hungry birds. You can eliminate discarded shells (that lie under snow and damage new grass in spring) by serving sunflower meats with the shells already removed. • Suet – For maximum calories, suet is an optimum
or nailed to trees. Chopped or dried fruit can also be added to suet mixtures. Look for specialty mixes with added fruit, too. • Seed mixes – For convenient and economical winter feeding, nothing beats a goodquality birdseed mix. While birds can probably tell a good mix just by looking at it, humans cannot. Choose a mix that features large proportions of sunflower seeds and millet, but avoid mixes with large proportions of unappetizing fillers such as wheat, milo and corn. Birds will pick out the yummy stuff and leave the filler – and a big mess – behind. Check the Cole’s website for details about different kinds of mixes, or the Audubon Society’s website at http://getintobirds.audubon.org/ bird-feeding-basics. Local nature organizations and libraries are a good source of information, too. • Water – Fresh liquid, moving water using birdbath spritzers or fountains will readily attract many backyard birds in winter. Add a heater to your water supply and you’ll be surprised at the number of birds that use it.
Whether you use a hanging feeder out in the yard or a window feeder for ‘up close and personal’ viewing, be sure to place your bird feeder where the birds and feed will be protected. – PHOTO COURTESY OF JOAN CASANOVA, GREEN EARTH MEDIA GROUP
• Shelter – A cozy place to roost will keep your backyard birds secure and comfortable even in the worst weather. Bird roost boxes and other shelters are essential to protect birds from frigid temperatures. Offer birds a source of winter nesting-type material to use as insulation. Serve safely. Just as backyard birds may be more desperate during the lean times of winter, so are predators such as cats and hawks. Position bird feeders in a safe place to protect them and pay attention to prints in the snow to learn what predators may be threatening your feeders. Start now preparing your yard for winter so birds will learn it’s a safe place long before they’re in desperate need. By providing for birds’ basic needs as cold weather approaches, it
can be easy to attract birds to your yard in winter. You’ll enjoy their company even when the weather is at its worst.

‘SEASIDE:
The 60’s and the Johnsons’ Author recounts Seaside childhood in new book
J
ohn A. Johnson’s childhood memoir, “Seaside: The 60’s and the Johnsons,” engagingly portrays his life growing up on the Oregon’s North Coast. Published in 2012 by Adventure North Publishing, it features an array of family photos. It is also a historical guidebook that both longtime area residents and visitors will find delightful. Most importantly, it is a loving ode to his parents, Stan and Margaret Johnson. Johnson’s idea to share his childhood memories of Seaside sprang from visiting his mother, Margaret, in the hospital. While she recovered from a stroke, Margaret reminisced with her son about how fortunate they had been to grow together as a family in such a wonderfully small town. They recalled enjoying Seaside’s quiet, stormy winters offset by the bustling, crowded summers. That balance was perfect for a young family just getting started. “Seaside seemed to be the perfect town for our young military family to sink roots and settle down,” Johnson states in the book’s introduction. “It was a small town where people knew each other, but had a large city atmosphere in the summer

months when thousands of tourists filled the streets. I have always compared Seaside to the Atlantic City of Oregon.” John was born in Oklahoma City, Okla., but his family was rarely in one place for long. This was thanks to his father’s career in the Navy, which routinely took him around the nation and the world. During John’s early years, the Johnsons lived in Guam, Hawaii, San Francisco and San Diego, among others. Retiring in 1957, Stan Johnson took a job in Astoria with the Maritime Administration, but he soon found his eye settling on Seaside. The Johnsons moved to Seaside in 1958. There, they bought and refurbished the Elkhorn Motel at 821 S. Edgewood St. “It was a rundown 12-unit affair built in the 30s and located along the river,” Johnson wrote. “Nightly rates for units ranged from $5 to $7 with the family unit bringing $12 – what a deal.” Young John began the fourth grade at the old Central Grade School and discovered that, unlike his previous schools, it was easier to make new friends. He fondly remembers games of dodgeball, baseball and scrambling around the old monkey bars during nice weather. It was also easier to find trouble, which was quickly corrected with a little fatherly incentive. “I was often in the principal’s office, and my grades were not good,” he wrote. “Dad said if my grades and conduct improved by year’s end, he would buy me a Model 94 Winchester deer rifle. That was all it took for me to become a model student.” Seaside was not always a sleepy, bucolic beach

town. Labor Day weekend 1963 witnessed a riot that garnered national attention. Johnson recalls how the riot swelled from a few partying college students to an intimidating crowd: “I watched as a drunk guy climbed a power line and began to beat his chest. Suddenly the tower came crashing down, severely hurting several people.” Attempting to stay on the periphery of the swelling riot, Johnson watched as the state riot squad was deployed and methodically dispersed the riot with billy clubs: “Most, including me, were thoroughly intimidated, and that pretty well brought the party to an end.” The national media ran coverage of the riot, and a photo of a policeman subduing a rioter even made The New York Times. From bear-hunting trips around the hills of Seaside and razor clam-digging with his mother, to exploring Tillamook Head with his many school friends, Johnson’s years in Seaside were filled with adventure. While the setting made his childhood special, his parents were central to his formative years. John calls his dad “a father among fathers

(who) seemed to live life for and through his children.” His mother he terms “about as close to perfection as a mother could be.” As a historical accounting, Johnson’s book is a must-read for anyone wanting a peek at Seaside from years gone by. As a love-letter to his childhood and family, it is a sweetly sentimental work sure to please. “We could not have grown up in a better time, town and family,” he writes. “Thanks mom and dad for making this beautiful dream come true.”

Solstice: Dark now, but light is coming Continued from Page 4 typically lasting for the several days that the sun appears to hang motionless on its otherwise reliable track. Clearly, it was an important time the world over, and though celebrations varied slightly, they all included feasting, dancing, mandatory drinking, gift giving, and, above all else, a welcoming back of the light. For thereafter, even on an ancient calendar, the days could only broaden and the light could only grow – bulging larger and longer for another half year. Old as it is, that’s still really good news; and here on the coast, where the cloudy days outnumber the clear, it’s especially delightful. This year, from our singular perch at the edge of the Pacific – in a land where it’s easy to lose track of the sun – let us embrace these shortest of days. As we dip into winter, marching briskly through our holiday plans, let us reserve a quiet moment to usher in the solstice. As a holiday, its highpoint may have come and gone, but reflections of its importance persist today, crossing oceans and continents and the cultural divides of time. And
In the United Kingdom, Stonehenge’s axis aligns with the rising of December’s solstice sun, suggesting it played an important role in Midwinter – a key celebration for the pagan cultures of northern Europe. – SUBMITTED PHOTO
though evergreen wreaths, Yule logs on the hearth, and scores of twinkling Christmas candles all glow with a new and different meaning, their timeless holiday message remains basically the same: Hold on, the light is coming; may all our darkest days be truly in the past.

Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL
ince the distant past humans have gathered to celebrate in the depths of winter. For eons fires have been lit against the cold, and candles have driven away the darkness. Since Roman times we have exchanged gifts (originally opposed by Christians as a pagan ritual), and we sing carols because Scandinavian pagans sang winter songs. Evergreens have symbolized eternal life since at least ancient Egypt, and the modern Christmas tree originated in 15th century Latvia and Estonia. We come together to honor the renewal of life at the darkest time of the year, and this has always meant a reaffirmation of the bonds of family and community. Our area has a richly diverse culture that is reflected in the way we celebrate the season. Nobody starts it off like the Hispanic community at Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church in Seaside. On the feast day of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Dec. 12, she is honored, apparently, by waking her up at 5 in the morning with Las Mañanitas (birthday songs) played by a mariachi band. Antonio Velasquez, an active member of both church and mariachi band, explains that, although the feast day of the “Patroness of the Americas” is unrelated to Christmas, it nonetheless leads into Christmas. “One way or another,” he says, “Mary the Mother of God appears.” Dec. 16 marks the first of nine days (one for each month of Mary’s pregnancy) in which the coming birth of Christ is celebrated. Each day there is a “novena” (a service of prayer), and then, says Velasquez, “We celebrate the Posada. We remember how Joseph and Mary were asking for lodging when they were ready to have Jesus. Every day we are walking and singing.” Traditionally people proceed from house to house, the leader bearing a candle. At each house, the resident responds by singing a song, and Mary and Joseph are finally recognized and allowed to enter. Once the “innkeepers” let them in, the guests come into the home and kneel at the nativity scene to pray the rosary. In Seaside, the procession begins in the church sanctuary, moves outside and finally comes to the social hall. Then the party begins. “There are goodies and a piñata for the kids, punch and dinner for the adults. It is a time for socializing and singing,” Velasquez says. It is a tradition that has been celebrated for 400 years and draws in the entire community: “Everybody is welcome, no matter what religion. Language is not a barrier.” An even older seasonal celebration, Hanukkah, has roots going back to 167 B.C. It memorializes the rebellion of a Jewish group, the Maccabees, after Antiochus IV, king of the Seleucid Empire of Syria, outlawed Judaism, sacked Jerusalem and installed Zeus in the temple. When the Seleucid forces had been driven out, the Maccabees discovered that all but one container of ritual olive oil had been profaned, leaving only enough to keep the menorah in the temple lit for one day. Yet it burned for eight days, the time it took to have new oil made ready.
Hanukkah, also known as the Festival of Lights, commemorates this miracle, celebrating for eight days with the kindling of the lights of the menorah, prayer, and the eating of dairy foods and foods fried in oil. Various members of the local Jewish community host the eight-day celebration. “Hanukkah is a home-based holiday,” says Moria Golub, “not Synagogue-based. It’s a very simple holiday. The darkness is oppressive, and it’s important to gather with the Jewish community.” “It’s our family sitting together,” says her friend Ann Goldeen, “figuring out eight significant things around one significant theme.” It’s also a great party for a large group, with plenty of food, especially latkes (fried potato pancakes) and sufganiyot (deep-fried doughnuts filled with jelly or custard). What Golub’s daughters, Cahava and Abigail Thornton, like most about Hanukkah, though, is the presents, which did not become a significant part of the tradition until after World War II. Their mother laughs, “As we’ve assimilated into Western culture, we’re competing with Christmas.” Goldeen’s daughter Jasmine Golden-Sea says, “The singing and candle lighting and presents are fun, but I love latkes,” both the making and the eating. This year she downloaded a recipe from tastebook.com that seasons the latke with jalapenos and cilantro. We associate family, community, parties, colorful costumes, gifts and overeating with whatever seasonal celebration we take part in. The same was true in Rome 2,500 years ago, when the December celebration was Saturnalia, the festival honoring the deity Saturn. Saturnalia is a festival of light, with candles signifying the quest for knowledge and the renewal of light in the coming year. In the later Roman Empire this was celebrated on Dec. 25, and the popularity of the festival continued into the fourth century, when the empire came under Christian rule and the celebration of Christmas took on some of the aspects of Saturnalia. Saturnalia is being revived, in a small way, in Astoria. “It’s a bit of silliness,” says Carla Cole. She and her partner Curtis Roengner “liked the idea of a festival of lights and gift giving, but we wanted a more pagan theme.” It is said that in Roman times a Saturnalicius princeps ruled as master of ceremonies, whose commands, such as “sing naked” or “throw him into cold water,” had to be obeyed. The modern version is tame by comparison, but it’s still a great excuse for a party. “It’s a reason to dress up,” Cole says. “And it’s all about feasting. We wear togas, and it’s carnival style with a Greek and Roman mythological theme. I’ll be coming as a simple dryad,” which is a tree nymph, “wearing a green dress, leaves and lichen.” So whether you have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, or Festive Saturnalia, celebrate the season with wreaths and gifts, light a candle against the dark and a fire against the cold, and enjoy the warmth of family and friends.
Our area has a richly diverse culture that is reflected in the way we celebrate the season.

Sweet Basil’s Café suffers from an identity crisis Mish-mash of themes in atmosphere, décor and food confused the Mouth
T
There is a phrase commonly uttered in Spain: “Las cuentas, claras, ye el chocolate, espeso.” Roughly translated, it means “keep things clear and the chocolate thick,” and it is a caution to keep rules and conditions clear in order to avoid confusion. I was reminded of this phrase on a recent visit to Sweet Basil’s Café in Cannon Beach, where Spanish-style tapas are a major draw, and where, unfortunately, there seems to be a bit of confusion. The open-kitchen restaurant and wine bar are owned and operated by chef John Sowa and feature a wide range of gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options, as well as many choices featuring pork, seafood and poultry. Dishes from many regions of the world are also featured, with limited success. Our first dish was a plate of imported olives with breadsticks. The server wasn’t too sure what any of the olives were (she didn’t like olives, she said); this didn’t seem a problem, because they were mostly easily identifiable, but I bit into one and found, unpleasantly, that it had a jalapeno pepper in the middle. I do not like jalapeno peppers, Spanish and and I spent the next Italian dry-cured several minutes trying meats and sausages to get the taste out of with olive tapenade.

my mouth. A second plate of artisan cheeses, which rotate nightly and are served with bread and crackers, arrived next. There were six different cheeses on the plate, although our server could only name five of them. They had lost the label for the sixth cheese, she said, and were not sure what it was, so she deemed it “mystery cheese.” This is an immediate red flag for me; with no label, it is difficult to know how old the cheese is, or if the requirements for refrigeration are being met. Our third tapas plate featured Spanish and Italian dry-cured meats and sausages. Our server said she didn’t really know what any of the meats on the plate were, and that we would just have to “figure it out.” It is simply unacceptable to be so uninformed about the dishes being served, especially in a day and age in which dietary allergies and aversions are so widely recognized. My dining companion, for example, has an allergy to organ meats, and if any of the items on the plate had included those, he would have become very ill. And though I don’t intend to be rude, I have to laugh a little that a large quote on the restaurant’s website says, “It’s time we asked… ‘What’s in my food?’” I had high hopes for the entrée that ar-
rived next, a dish of Osso Buco made with a 22 ounce pork shank and served with a rich tomato and red wine sauce atop creamy parmesan polenta. The pork shank itself was well textured: tender, juicy, and falling off the bone. It was devoid of much flavor, though, as was the sauce. The sauce had sort of a sweet, peppery creole taste, not altogether unpleasing, just not the rich, robust, Italian bite I was looking for. The creamy polenta was also a little bland. The only thing that really packed a punch were the coarsely chopped green onions scattered on top; the dish needed the zest. When I learned there was a wine and tapas restaurant here on the Coast, I was very excited to try it, and I certainly wish I had more positive feedback. Sweet Basil’s Café unfortunately seems to be suffering from some kind of identity crisis. The menu is literally all over the map – tapas are of Spanish origin, and Osso Buco is Milanese. There are also several creole dishes, and even a Thai coconut curry dish. And though I don’t think specializing (successfully) in so many regional dishes is impossible, I’ve yet to dine at a restaurant that does it very well. Sadly, I think Sweet Basil’s Café has bitten off a bit more than it can chew.
HOURS: Café: 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for lunch, 5 to 9 p.m. for dinner Wednesday to Sunday. Wine bar: 4 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday; 4 to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday
SERVICE: The service on this particular evening was subpar. The server was highly uninformed about what she was serving and didn’t make a concerted effort to answer our questions.
PRICES: The olive plate, cheese platter, and charcuterie plates were fairly priced at $6.95, $9.95 and $10.50, respectively. Most menu items range from $10 to $20. The Osso Buco was too expensive at $22.
ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS:The restaurant offers myriad vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, with natural, organic and wild ingredients.
ATMOSPHERE: The restaurant is a confusing combination of world cultures. The lighting is also poor, and the temperature was uncomfortably chilly.

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Review and photo by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com
DRINKS: A large selection of natural sodas and an impressive wine selection. Five popular beers are also featured. “Wine flights” are offered from 4 to 6 p.m., or as time permits throughout the day; $12 for five 2-ounce pours of Northwest wines, and $15 for eight 2-ounce pours.
Similarly confusing is the atmosphere and décor. The restaurant combines rustic, whitewashed booths like something one would see in Provence, wrought iron tables commonly found in New Orleans, and Italian-themed artwork featuring
‘Though I don’t think specializing (successfully) in so many regional dishes is impossible, I’ve yet to dine at a restaurant that does it very well. Sadly, I think Sweet Basil’s Café has bitten off a bit more than it can chew.’ wine bottles, bread, and the like. It’s a bit of a confusing mish-mash of themes, and harsh yellow bulbs on track lighting make it hard to see very well. The brightest spot of the evening was a local band, The Coconuts, who arrived to play a set toward the end of our meal. With standards like “I’m Going To Sit Right Down And Write Myself a Letter,” the evening was rescued. I wouldn’t mind sitting right down with a glass of wine and enjoying their musical stylings again.

Fort Clatsop
Tea and Plum Pudding
Starting Dec. 26, living history travels back in time to the winter of 1806
Local author Gloria Linkey to speak at event on selected afternoons
ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park will offer special programs about the Corps of Discovery’s winter at Fort Clatsop on the days following Christmas. Starting Dec. 26. Fort Clatsop will feature scheduled living history programs and guided walks by park rangers each day through Jan. 1. Costumed rangers will present flintlock muzzle-loading programs at 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 and 3:30 p.m.; and hands-on programs about various aspects of the explorers’ winter at Fort Clatsop from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and from 2 to 3 p.m. Ranger-guided walks on the Netul River Trail will be offered during the week at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Each day will start and end with “The Star Spangled Banner” talk (9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m.) about the second flag of the United States that flies at the fort. In addition to the programs being offered, there are movies in the visitor center. “A Clatsop Winter Story,” a 22-minute movie about the 1805-06 winter from a Clatsop Indian perspective, and “Lewis and Clark: Confluence of Time and Courage,” a 34-minute movie about the entire voyage, will be offered each hour. The park is closed on Christmas Day, Dec. 25. A unit of the National Park Service, Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop is located southwest of Astoria, three miles southeast of U.S. Highway
101.

Oregon Cultural Trust See what’s out there at online activity guide Are you looking for something to do near your home or your Oregon travel destination? Are you curious about arts, heritage and humanities activities around the state? Are you interested in supporting worthy cultural causes? The Oregon Cultural Trust’s digital field guide (www.oregon culturefieldguide.org) unveiled its statewide activity Dec. 11, based on a public nomination process conducted earlier this fall. Now, site visitors can search
walks and at the programs held outdoors. Admission to the Fort Clatsop unit of the park is $3 per adult and includes Netul Landing and the Fort to Sea Trail. There is no admission fee for the Salt Works or Middle Village/Station Camp. Passes to National Park Service sites are accepted for free admission. For further information, call the park at 503-861-2471, Ext. 214, or visit the park’s website at www.nps.gov/lewi
more than 70 listings by activity type (arts, heritage, humanities, multidisciplinary), by county, or by supporting nonprofit. Each activity has its own page and description, where users are encouraged to add comments. Heritage-related entries include everything from a visit to Boston Mills, the oldest water mill in Oregon (Linn County), to a hike in the historic Columbia River Gorge (Multnomah County), to a peek at Kam Wah Chung, a Chinese herbal medi-
cine store (Grant County) that is preserved as it was left in the 1950s. “We see the Field Guide activity index as a tool to help people share and discover the treasures all around our state,” said Chris D’Arcy, executive director of the Cultural Trust. When “Oregon Culture: A Field Guide” was introduced in October, users were asked to nominate their favorite cultural activities. The site allowed supporters to “like” nominated events. In reviewing those nominations, the Trust sought to create a diverse selection of the best and most beloved arts, heritage and humanities activities in Oregon,
appropriate for kids as well as adults, indoors and out, in all regions of the state. More activities and interactive tools will be added in 2013. In addition to helping Oregonians expand their cultural horizons, the Field Guide activity list aims to educate citizens about the many cultural nonprofits in the state, and to encourage philanthropic giving to those organizations, which, when matched with a gift to the Trust by Dec. 31, will offer eligibility for the state’s generous cultural tax credit for 2012 (up to $500 for an individual, $1,000 for a married couple filing jointly and $2,500 for a Class-C corporation).

Readers’ Choice Awards How to make sure your vote is counted The Reader's Choice Awards are coming. The staff at the Daily Astorian and Coast Weekend work hard to bring these awards to you, our readers, and we ask that you help us in our task. Here are some things to keep in mind to make sure your vote is counted - there have been cases where the difference between a winner and a runner-up is one or two votes. Sports fans, keep in mind some teams have the same name or mascot. Include the city or school of your team. You may list the team of an individual sport or the entire athletic department of that school. A sports team does not have to be affiliated with a school. If you do not know the full name of your favorite waitperson or barista, include the name of the restaurant or coffeehouse. Try to include the full name of the coffeehouse, espresso stand or restaurant when voting for your favorite venue. If you don't know the full name, include a location ...The timelessness of

such as a street name. If you have a favorite bakery with the word “home” in the name, as several do in the area, include the entire name or a location. Just the word “home” could mean your own kitchen, though you are certainly allowed to vote for your own cooking. Describing a museum as “the heritage museum” leaves us with at least three possibilities, so include the city if you don't know the full name. Also, some communities have more than one farmers market – Astoria has two (Sundays and Thursdays) and there are several on the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula. Don't keep us guessing. Include your home address, not a

business address or a P.O. box. Include a phone number where you can be reached easily, with the area code, or an email address. Include your first name and last name; do not use initials only. We ask for these items to cut down on multiple votes by any one person and to reach you if you win the random prize drawing. We do not use your private information for any other purpose, even within our own organization. If you do not provide us with this information your votes will still count, but you will not be a contestant in the random prize drawing. If it appears one person has cast multiple votes, only the most recent will be counted.
