Learn the history, modern concerns of Chinookan Peoples Columbia River Maritime Museum hosts author presentation, book signing
©
ASTORIA — Join the Columbia River Maritime Museum at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 8 in the Kern Room for a look at the history of the native peoples of the Columbia River. CRMM welcomes Robert T. Boyd, Kenneth M. Ames and Tony A. Johnson for a presentation on “Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia,” followed by a book signing. “Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia” brings together perspectives from archaeologists, ethnobiologists, scientists, historians and members of the Chinook tribe to provide a comprehensive and interdisciplinary analysis of Chinookan peoples and their homeland. The book spans the course of Chinookan pre-con-
tact history but also addresses more contemporary concerns, including the Chinook Nation’s ongoing struggle for federal recognition. Boyd is a research anthropologist at Portland State University and the author of “The Coming of the Spirit of Pestilence.” Ames is professor emeritus of anthropology at Portland State University and lead author of “Peoples of the Northwest Coast.” Johnson is the cultural committee chair for the Chinook tribe and education program manager for the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe. The presentation and book signing is free with paid museum admission ($12 for adults, $10 for seniors, $5 for children
age 6 to 17, free for children younger than 6). The event is free for museum members. The Columbia River Maritime Museum is located at 1792 Marine Drive. For more information, call 503-325-2323.

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR
A guest appearance on Troll Radio Revue Last month, I was in- variety show. “It had always
vited to appear on KMUN 91.9 FM’s Troll Radio Revue. Broadcast live the last Saturday of every month from 11 a.m. to noon., the show is a family-friendly variety show, featuring local musicians, special guests, poetry, comedy skits, and – of course – the troll himself, Stinky Toadwort.
Children, families and adults of all ages are invited to join the live audience – or listen on the air. How did a troll come to call Astoria home? Well, if you’re familiar with the fairytale “Three Billy Goats Gruff,â€? you might know the answer: That bridge the goats crossed? It spanned the Columbia River east of Astoria. And that troll the goats tossed in the river? That was Stinky Toadwort. The story goes that the troll Ă€RDWHG GRZQ ULYHU DQG ZDVKHG up on shore under the Astoria Bridge.

Tattoo studios offer welcoming spaces to create artistic stories on the skin. Astoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keepsake Tattoo is one example. Story by ANDREW TONRY
A
aron Toledo got his first tattoo at 16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was in the basement of this head shop in downtown Kansas City, (Mo.), called Zowies,â&#x20AC;? he remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was this older guy with long hair, metal lookinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; dude, and he gave it to me.â&#x20AC;?
The tattoo, a cloud bearing the numeral â&#x20AC;&#x153;9,â&#x20AC;? has since smeared. But it began a journey that would change not only the skin on Toledoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lower back, but his life at large. Something that has also changed in the 16 years since is the nature of tattoos and tattooing itself. Both the business and the implications have altered dramatically, from seedy parlors to boutique-like studios, from social outcasts and outlaw bikers to policeman and lawyers. These changes, as far as Toledo, owner of Astoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Keepsake Tattoo, is concerned, are decidedly for the best. was pretty stoked about getting tattooed,â&#x20AC;?

rolls along the paper.â&#x20AC;? Just as important â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or perhaps even more so â&#x20AC;&#x201C; one must learn about skin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s skin is completely different,â&#x20AC;? Toledo says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the skin on your feet is totally different than the skin on your chest. Or even from one limb; the skin on the top of your arm is different than the skin on your underarm. The skin that gets more exposure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; on the top of your arm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gets much more calloused; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s much harder to tattoo.

And of course, one must have a steady hand, artistic sensibility and illustrating talent. After completing his training and passing the state exam, Toledo realized that life in Portland was relatively similar that of Kansas City, and he wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking for traditional city life. ,Q KH PRYHG WR $VWRULD ZKHUH DW WKH WLPH there werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t any tattoo shops â&#x20AC;&#x201C; or at least any that were above board.

more culturally acceptable. The stigmas have been largely wiped away. Part of the shift, Toledo says, is simply a product of time â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that as more and more people got tattooed, familiarity and understanding reached a tipping point.

Pizza Hut
O
Warrenton eatery has tasty breadsticks, tired atmosphere One of the many fun things about my job as The Mouth is that when I visit restaurants, it gives me pause to remember, as a coast native, the history behind the buildings and businesses themselves. Some long-time residents may remember when the Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Plaza housed a Thriftway, for example, and a Lamontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clothing store that later became Gottschalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. , VHHP WR UHFDOO D VPDOO Âż WQHVV FHQWHU VRPH where along the strip, and a wonderful video rental store (remember those?) that I was sad to see close, called Aardvark Video. I was a kid when Pizza Hut opened in the Youngâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bay Plaza, and it seemed terribly exciting at the time. There were not many franchised businesses of any kind on the coast then, and I can remember thinking that the new Pizza Hut, with its shiny green booths and its quasi-Italian artwork, seemed impressively â&#x20AC;&#x153;big city.â&#x20AC;? Of course, as an adult, I have removed my rose-colored glasses, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still sad to see a business that once seemed so â&#x20AC;&#x153;newâ&#x20AC;? appearing now as rather tired and run-down. As I often say, I am willing to forgive a lot in terms of atmosphere, provided that the food is good â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but unfortunately I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think I can do that here. I visited Pizza Hut recently during its lunch-time buffet. Although the restaurant was not terribly busy, and there seemed to be quite a few employees milling about, I stood at the door for several minutes before being noticed; in fact, I actually had to approach the FRXQWHU WR DVN WR EH VHDWHG :KHQ , ZDV Âż QDOO\ seated, I noticed that the carpet was incredibly dirty and covered in crumbs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just at my spot, but everywhere â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and the booth seat and tabletop were greasy.

One menu offering I will admit to occasionally having the odd craving for is Pizza Hutâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s breadsticks. With a crisp exterior and Parmesan sprinkled on top, they are tasty and probably the best part of the buffet. I sampled a few pizzas, beginning with the meat loverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s pizza. Given the name, I was expecting a pizza covered in meat, and the toppings of Canadian bacon, pepperoni and sausage seemed a little sparse, but since I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily classify myself as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;meat loverâ&#x20AC;? , ZDVQÂśW WRR ERWKHUHG E\ LW 7KH Ă&#x20AC; DYRU RI WKH marinara sauce seemed a little sweet, and the crust was too soft for my liking.

PRICES: Although prices are certainly reasonable, with most pizzas priced between $10 and $15 for medium and large sizes, the quality is lacking. Any price for poor food is too high.

tency, with the cheese a bit grainy and breaking apart easily, not the long, stretchy threads of mozzarella I might normally expect. I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speculate about the reason behind the grainy consistency, but I found it off-putting.

The Hawaiian luau pizza includes pineapple and Canadian bacon on hand-tossed crust at the Warrenton Pizza Hut.
SERVICE: While our server was friendly and attentive to our table, there was a lot of loud chit-chat between other employees, including cursing, which was audible in the dining room. It seemed unprofessional.
ATMOSPHERE: The lighting was rather dark and glum for the middle of the day, and the floor was in serious need of being vacuumed. The walls near my table were streaked with marinara-sauce fingerprints, and the tabletop and booth seat were greasy. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: There is a salad bar and a vegetarian pizza. DRINKS: Coffee and soft drinks.
Lastly I sampled a Hawaiian luau pizza with Canadian bacon and pineapple. Though I know Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in the minority, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand Canadian bacon and pineapple as a pizza topping â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to me, marinara sauce and fruit shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mix â&#x20AC;&#x201C; but I know that it is universally a popular pizza variety. I appreciated at least that the Canadian bacon atop the version offered at Pizza Hut had crisp edges and good Ă&#x20AC; DYRU On a subsequent visit I ordered a carry-out pizza, the supreme pizza with a â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuffed crust,â&#x20AC;? a Pizza Hut innovation that is literally a pizza crust injected with mozzarella cheese. I found the same, grainy texture in the cheese that I noticed before, and moments after picking up the pizza the crust was already quite soggy. Since Pizza Hut is a franchise, I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how much leeway local owners have in terms of tweaking recipes, but if I were an owner, I might push my corporate parents to revisit the quality of some of the recipes and ingredients being used. I think it would also be nice if the interior of our local Pizza Hut could be improved a bit, to make the overall dining experience more enjoyable. All in all, my visit to Pizza Hut was somewhat unfavorable, but I do sincerely hope the restaurant can make improvements in the future.

Born in Oklahoma, raised in California and now living in Astoria, R.L. Potts has a degree in wildlife management and was led to photography through bird watching. What art medium(s) do you work in and where do you show your work? I am a photographer. My photos can be seen and purchased at Astoria Hemp Works. The Cannon Beach Gallery carries my notecards. The January/February issue of Oregon Coast Magazine contains several of my photos. My work can also be seen at www.rlpotts.zenfolio.com. I have two shots in the 2013 Smith-Western Oregon Coast Engagement Calendar. I have a shot in the Brown Trout 2014 Oklahoma Calendar. I also sell photos at the Seaside Gift Bazaar, the Sashay Festival, and the Starving Artist Faire. I have a couple of prints up in the LightBox Photographic Galleryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Members Show. I am represented by the Designpics photo agency. Your hobby as a birder led you to photography. Tell me about that. When I was much younger, I became an avid birder. I traveled around the country listing the birds I identified with my binoculars. One day it occurred to me that I could use a telephoto lens instead of binoculars and a camera
instead of a notebook. I found this to be interesting for several years. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember why, but one day I used some Kodachrome and a short lens, and the images were very striking. Shortly thereafter, my new interest became photography, instead of birding. What subjects or themes do you focus on in your photography? I focus a lot on nature, but I shoot pretty much everything. My focus is photography itself. Is there anything you have recently finished? I have recently finished uploading a ton of images to designpics. What do you find rewarding about being a member of LightBox Photographic Gallery? I gain inspiration, feedback and new perspectives from my membership. Are there any photographers who have influenced or inspired you? I am inspired by the work of David Muench and Leonard Lee Rue. You say youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trained in wildlife biology. Tell me

about that. After nearly winning the first draft lottery for the Vietnam War, I obtained a four-year college deferment. I ended up with a Bachelor of Science degree in wildlife management that served me well as I traveled around the continent doing seasonal jobs in the National Park Service, U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, etc. and taking pictures. I have held some truly wonderful jobs: counting and measuring brook trout in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia; surveying trout streams in California, Oregon and Washington; fire fighting from coast to coast; banding spotted owls; detecting marbled murrelets â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the list goes on and on. The best was monitoring fuels in Everglades National Park in Florida, where I had a helicopter and a plane for my chores. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite thing to do on a winter day on the North Coast? This is best answered by looking at my photos in the January/February Oregon Coast Magazine. Storm watching/photography is my favorite, but I am finding it difficult to get out of the house this year.
