The upcoming spring season The Oregon and Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife are pleased to announce opening dates for the spring Chinook fishing season: From March 1 to April 7, from Astoria to Bonneville Dam, anglers may retain one spring Chinook salmon per day (hatchery fish only).

Predicted returns for the season are strong, with 100,000 more Chinook salmon expected over last year’s count. If the numbers are accurate, 2014 will experience the fifth-largest run since 1980.

Inspiring other communities Inspired by Astoria’s FisherPoets Gathering, a number of other folklife events celebrate fisherpoetry on coasts from Kodiak, Alaska to New Bedford, Massachusetts. Close to home, Olympia’s Harbor Days festival invites fisherpoets to its outdoor main stage each year on the Friday evening of the Labor Day weekend. In early May, as part of Seattle’s Maritime Week, fisherpoets compete for cash prizes during the “Stories of the Sea� slam, usually held at the Highliner Tavern at Fishermen’s Terminal Thursday evening. Seattle’s massive Northwest Folklife Festival, held at the Seattle Center each Memorial Day weekend, hosts fisherpoets each year on one of its stages. In Kenai, Alaska, in late September, Cook Inlet fisherpoets, their friends and fans gather for “Fisher Poets in Kenai.� The Kodiak Arts Council, with the Kodiak Maritime Museum, hosts “Fishermen Out Loud� every couple of years, inviting fisherpoets from afar to join locals for an evening performance on the island in the early spring. In New England, fisherpoets from both coasts share the stage as part of New Bedford, Massachusetts’s celebrated “Working Waterfront Festival� the end of each September.

 And in the original Finnish: Kalastaja ilman merta (Into Sandbergin muistolle) TiedätkÜ, mitä on palata kotiin tyhjin käsin? Kun meri itkee, on se sokea, muistot verkoista säilyy, mutta kalastajaa tyÜnsä äärellä ei enää ole, ei ketään hymyilemässä tummalle vedelle, joka toisinaan ottaa. TiedätkÜ mitä on olla kalastaja ilman merta? Se on kuin ei olisi.

Be the picture of good health. Get screened. Vascular diseases threaten the health – and lives – of millions of Americans. Most people with a vascular disease don’t know they have it and go untreated. If you’re 55 or older, have a family history of heart disease or think you’re at risk, a screening could save your life. Talk to your health care provider about scheduling an appointment for Providence’s painless, non-invasive coronary calcium screening. The test takes only minutes, but the benefits could last for years. There is a screening fee. Call 503-717-7556 for fee information. Providence Seaside Hospital is the only facility on the north coast offering coronary calcium scans. Talk to your health care provider about a screening. Or you can make an appointment with cardiologist Robert Morse, D.O., for expert cardiac care close to home. Robert Morse, D.O. Cardiologist

unique language and unwritten codes. The more closed the group, the more fascination it inspires. We humans are curious creatures, craving insight into experiences different from our own. What would it be like to be that crabber, we wonder, to make those waves your commute? The sea of “reality� shows and memoirs seems bottomless, as we crane our necks to peer into worlds otherwise closed to those not part of the club.

Closed – except on the last weekend of February, when Astoria’s FisherPoets Gathering invites everyone – mariners and landlubbers alike – to participate in this industry celebration. Paying homage in verse, story and song, this Feb. 21 to 23 marks the 17th annual Gathering. With more than 80 performers scheduled among seven venues, you’ll have to make some choices. New England shanty or Kodiak yarn? Accompanied by harmonica, guitar or gut-bucket? Whatever you choose, you’ll have the rare opportunity to step into another world.

The winner was Astoria High School junior Rachel Speakman, whose work, from among more than 30 fine submissions, best reflected the spirit of the commercial fishing industry and the tradition of the FisherPoets Gathering. It wouldn’t be hard to disagree with the judges, though. Submissions from artists such as Leslie Peterson, Penelope Culbertson, Yvonne Edwards, LaRee Johnson, Michele B. Naquaiya, Lori L. McLaughlin and others are the sort that made the decision difficult.

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photo by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com

HOURS: Open 11:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily (may close earlier in times of inclement winter weather). PRICES: Prices are fair considering the quality of the food, with lunchtime prices on most items hovering between $10 and $13. Many entrĂŠes can be ordered in a “halfâ€? or “fullâ€? portion, which is a savings, although prices for “fullâ€? entrĂŠes can reach up to $24. My half order of halibut fish and chips, at $13.25, consisted of three large pieces of fish, French fries, and cole slaw, which seemed more than ample. SERVICE: My server was friendly and served my food promptly, although I do wish he would have checked

The view of the Columbia River is unbeatable. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: This is traditional, English pub food at its finest. There are lots of English classics, like shepherd’s pie, and a lot of deep-fried fish. There is, however, a vegetarian Cobb salad, and a veggie sandwich. DRINKS: Coffee, tea, soft drinks, beer, wine and a full bar.

Sunday Afternoon Live makes a change Portland musician Patrick Lamb proves ‘It’s All Right Now’

RAYMOND, Wash. — The bad news: Sunday Afternoon Live’s scheduled performer asked to cancel his appearance for Sunday, Feb. 23. The good news is there will still be a performance, now featuring Portland saxophonist, singer and songwriter Patrick Lamb. His music focuses on old-school R&B ad soul ZLWK D ÀDYRU RI MD]] A Jackson, Miss., native, Lamb began paying his dues by playing roadhouse music DV D WHHQDJHU LQ WKH UXUDO ]Gouth, where he was inspired by the evocative sounds of James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles and Wilton Felder of the Crusaders. Lamb immersed himself in the music of these great artists and began to discover his own sound as both a musician and performer. In the 1980s, his father, a high school science teacher,

took the family to Portland, where Lamb began developing his playing and singing into a career at the early age of 16. He found a way to infuse his 6RXWKHUQ URRWV DQG LQÀXHQFHV into his musical development, leading him – in the 1990s – to an opportunity to perform and tour with Grammy-winner Diane Schuur. Since then, he has also toured with legendary R&B vocalist Bobby Caldwell and currently tours with Gino Vannelli and Jeff Lorber worldwide. His numerous awards be-

gan with an acclaimed best soloist performance at the Lionel +DPSWRQ -D]] )HVWLYDO UHVXOWing in a performance with the festival’s namesake. Besides receiving a number of music awards for his work, Lamb’s production company received the Spirit of Portland and the Caring Heart award for contributions giving back and enriching lives in the community. In 1996 and 1997, Lamb was invited to perform at the White House during the holiday Congressional VIP Tours

LONG BEACH, Wash. — (OL]abeth Christina and Loren Schulte perform an eclectic mix of great songs as the Two-Step Striders, featuring vocal harmonies backed by a FRPELQDWLRQ RI SLDQR DQG ¿Qger-style acoustic guitar. Whether it’s an old-timey American tune, an original song or a blues tune showcasing Christina’s Bonnie Raittstyle vocals, the sound of this group is powerful, richly musical and entertaining. Christina is a versatile musician, having grown up in a musical touring family, and she has covered the western states in show bands, and later with her own brand of children’s songs and family festival entertainment.

She plays everything from SLDQR WR EOXHJUDVV EDQMR DQG renaissance woodwinds to accordion for English Morris dancers. Schulte performed on acoustic guitar, bass, mandolin and vocals throughout the latter half of the 1970s in a country rock band. Later, inspired by the blues of Ry Cooder and Jorma Kaukonen (with Hot Tuna), he focused on country EOXHV DQG ¿QJHU VW\OH EOXHV guitar. +LV LQÀXHQFHV LQFOXGH WKH early masters such as Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Sleepy John Estes, Reverend Gary Davis, the mandolin of Yank Rachell and many more. Over the years, he’s opened for Dan Hicks (of the Hot

Licks), Tom Paxton, and, locally, for Doug Smith, Mark Hanson, Mary Flower, John Standefer and Terry Robb. Schulte has been building stringed instruments since the mid-1990s and has built many kinds of acoustic and electric guitars and mandolins, many of which are custom designs.

Learn of the Clatsop Plains KMUN to broadcast live Geologist to speak at Nature Matters from two papers that address water chemistry, migration routes and geologic controls. He’ll address tsunami inundation and shoreline retreat for greater awareness and planning purposes. Nature Matters, a free conversation about the intersection of nature and culture, takes place on the third Thursday of the month through spring. The collaborative series is hosted by the North Coast Watershed Association and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park in partnership with the Fort George. Doors open at 6 p.m. The Fort George Lovell Showroom is located at 426 14th St.

ASTORIA — Nature Matters presents a talk with geologist Tom Horning at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 20 in the Fort George Lovell Showroom. Horning will discuss the geographical history of Lewis and Clark’s “open wavering sandy plain� – the Clatsop Plains. He will delve into how the interdunal lakes were formed and how knowing more can help us plan for the future. Since the Clatsop Plains are the youngest real estate in Oregon, it pays to know how the natural processes operate – including earthquakes and tsunamis. For this talk, Horning will mine relevant information

RiverSea hosts Artists on Sundays

ASTORIA — From 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 23, Astoria artist Noel Thomas will demonstrate his quick-study portrait sketches at RiverSea Gallery and will take volunteers as subjects. A portfolio of his most recent drawings will be available, and new watercolors will be on display. Onlookers will be able to view an accomplished artist at work, with the opportunity for meaningful interaction. This is part of the gallery’s Artists on Sundays series, occasional art talks and demonstrations intended to connect people with artists and the process of making art. For upcoming Artists on Sundays events, check with RiverSea Gallery. Many people, both locals

and visitors, have met Noel Thomas when they notice him sketching them as they sit over coffee, linger on the Astoria Riverwalk or wait in line for an event. Drawing forms a part of daily life for Thomas; wherever KH ¿QGV KLPVHOI D TXLFN VNHWFK in his ever-present notebook is his response to any situation. These studies, drawn in ink, graphite or conte crayon, form an oeuvre that brings his daily wanderings to life.
