been to sea — let alone experienced first-hand the hard work of being a commercial fisherman. George Wilson is one of those unique individuals, who from childhood has enjoyed the beauty, sometimes solitude and unpredictability of the fishing industry while combining that with his other love, the visual language, which he uses to narrate his observations as a fisherman. Wilson brings to Astoria a collection of watercolor paintings that depict his transition from his hometown, a small coastal fishing village in northeast Scotland, to his new home

in Portland. “Port-to-Port: From Portknockie to Portland� is a personal record of transition. Wilson, who spent 49 years of his life living in the same village where he was raised, sums up his exhibition as “My journey from Portknockie to Portland, with 50 years worth of memories in my sea bag.� His work comes from his experiences of 20 years working on the North Sea as a commercial fisherman, “immersed in the rhythms of the natural world; weather, tide, the movements and migrations of fish and birds.� Wilson has always painted, which eventually lead him to studies at Gray’s School of Art, one of the United Kingdom’s most prestigious art schools located in Aberdeen, Scotland. After graduating with a focus on painting and drawing, he found his way back to the sea where his time was shared between fishing trips and the studio. His time spent on the ocean entered

into his paintings. “Over and over, in my paintings I bring the birds, the sea and shore, and my village,� he says. “When I moved to Portland in 2012, I brought with me these layers of memory and experience. In the Pacific Northwest I find a new landscape, a different shore, and unfamiliar rhythms. This body of work is the wave of my old life against a new shore.� For more information about Imogen Gallery, its represented artists, or the current exhibit, call 503-4680620 or visit www.imogengallery.com.

Belgian Endive Gratin Start to finish: 45 minutes (15 minutes active) Servings: 4 2 tablespoons butter 1/2 small yellow onion, finely chopped 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 teaspoon dried tarragon 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 2 cups reduced-fat milk 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Salt and ground black pepper 4 small to medium Belgian endives 3/4 cup shredded Gruyere cheese

AP Photos/Matthew Mead

In this gratin, Belgian endive is baked in a white cream sauce with onions and cheese.

Directions: 1. Heat the oven to 350 F. Coat a medium (9-by-9-inch) baking dish with cooking spray. 2. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and tarragon, then cook until fragrant, another minute. Whisk in the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the milk, whisking constantly. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sauce begins to thicken, about 6 minutes. Turn off the heat, stir in mustard, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. 3. Cut off the woody stems of the endive and slice them in half lengthwise. Season them with salt and pepper. Place the endive in the prepared baking dish. Pour the sauce over the endive halves. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil, then sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top. Return to the oven for another 15 minutes, or until the endive is tender. 4. If desired, increase heat to broil and broil the gratin until the cheese is bubbly and browned, about 1 minute. Be careful, as the cheese will burn quickly. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Dance the night away in Seaside It’s time for daddies to share the dance floor with daughters Saturday Story by ANDREW TONRY SEASIDE — The exuberance at last year’s inaugural Daddy Daughter Dance far exceeded organizer Darren Gooch’s expectations. “When I first got things together for it I saw presales of about 35 tickets,” said Gooch, information technology and marketing director at the Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District. “My original anticipation was that we’d probably have about 90 attendees all together.” Almost 200 showed up. “I was, like, really sweating bullets because I only had tables for 90 people in the main hall here at the Bob Chisholm Center,” Gooch said. Despite the influx of attendees, the event ran rather smoothly. “Nobody sat for long anyway,” said Gooch. “They were all out dancing at different times. It did flow nicely, albeit pretty tightly.” He attributed the turnout to one simple thing: “There’s a cuteness factor to the Daddy Daughter Dance that just isn’t there with anything else.”

Daddy Daughter Dance 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28 Seaside Civic and Convention Center 415 First Ave., Seaside $20 per daddy-daughter couple, Plus $5 per additional daughter Daddies, grandpas and any father figure is invited This year, Gooch and Special Events Coordinator Grace Smith are prepared. The second Daddy Daughter Dance, which takes place from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 28, will move to the Seaside Civic and Convention Center. On hand will be a DJ, photo booth, refreshments and, of course, a few more tables — just in case. The event is open to dads and daughters of all ages. “We had a dad and his preschool-aged daughter through a high school girl and her grandpa last year,” Gooch said. “That was really sweet.” Moms are welcome, too. “The moms are kind of the bigger driving force for this than even the dads,” Gooch said. “You’ve got

these dads and their little girls and a mom who’s there going: ‘No, you need to go do this. This is cute, you need to do this.’” Despite the influx of dads and daughters, last year’s event came in slightly under budget. But the rise in ticket price, Gooch said, is to pay for the larger venue. “We don’t want to make money off of it,” he added. “We want to make just enough to pay for all the expenses. Any time that an event gives the opportunity for community members to come out and do something together as a group or together as a family, that’s the idea.”

Tolovana Arts Colony: a 501(c)3 nonprofit arts organization, founded in 2005, that aims to offer affordable arts and movement education to the North Oregon Coast year round Origin: Of uncertain provenance and meaning. In 1903, the U.S. Army Signal Corps designated the name of the Alaskan river and nearby village, establishing a post office with the name the following year, which was later decommissioned in 1957. It is reported to be a Tanana Indian word, which some have speculated to mean either a river of sticks, a wooded place or even a pile of driftwood, though a standard definition has never been confirmed. The name traveled to Oregon with the Warren brothers in the early 20th century. “Mark Warren and his brother, William E. Warren, spent some time in Central Alaska, and, after their return, they platted property on Cannon Beach. Mark Warren chose the name Tolovana Park for his tract, because he fancied the sound of the word as used in Alaska.� —Lewis A. McArthur, “Oregon Geographic Names: Fifth Supplement,� Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol. 44, No. 4, Dec. 1943, P. 356

“The object of the company is to install a gravity water system to supply Tolovana park and the adjacent territory in the vicinity of Haystack rock, Cannon beach.
