ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will host an opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12, for “Duet, an exhibit of photographic works by the directors of LightBox, Michael Granger and Chelsea Vincent Granger. This exhibit will run through Feb. 5, the first in a new schedule of upcoming fine art exhibits at the gallery during the new year. Presenting a collection of images from their archives, these photographers showcase an array of prints, sharing with the public for the first time a collection of personal work at the Photographic Center and Gallery they opened in Astoria more than three years ago. Those who know the Grangers understand that their photographic vision comes from two different sources. Michael is known for precise and balanced imagery that invites the viewer to perceive more, while Chelsea’s visual style presents to the viewer an image of the world that is not always clear, one that does not exist through ordinary eyes.

Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH
Birds on layover Why are some migratory birds hanging out in the Northwest?
A South Jetty winter visitor, the Snowy Owl takes a look around. – SUBMITTED COURTESY OF PACIFIC LIGHT STUDIOS
B
irds have some basic human traits – or maybe it’s the other way around. When we’re cold, we both search for warmth. When we get hungry, we look for something to eat. Wet to the bone, we want to be dry. And just as it is for people, winter on the coast means birds of a feather don’t or can’t always stick together. The Pacific Ocean provides an unlimited source of moisture, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). In the winter, raging storms make their way across the vast and mighty Pacific. Slamming into our coastline, they wreak all kinds of havoc: torrential rains that hit like a drenching car-wash; furious winds; downed trees; trying travel conditions and cold temperatures – conditions neither man nor bird want to be caught in. Those powerful storms can blow a tired, battered or hungry migrating bird ashore. And natural disasters like Japan’s March 2011 tsunami beach sick birds. It’s estimated that 5 to 20 million tons of debris is coming our way, floating on our oceans and washing up on our beaches. Pieces of plastic and Styrofoam look like food to over 100 species of sea birds. “Plastic breaks down into smaller pieces, the birds and the fish ingest it, and it gets into the food web,” said Sharnell Fee, executive director of the Wildlife Center of the North Coast, an all-volunteer rehab center for injured, sick, orphaned and displaced native wildlife. The Center, located in Astoria, takes care of approximately 2,000 birds a year. Another reason we see migratory birds hanging around is all about us. We feed them, and often it’s our junk food. “Don’t feed birds bread!” Fee said. “Feeding them habituates them. They need protein. Feeding songbirds in your backyard is fine, but birds that should normally be migrating get used to handouts. (It’s a double don’t) if you’re handing out French fries at McDonald’s drive up window. Birds learn to associate food with our cars.” 4 | January 10, 2013 | coastweekend.com
And don’t forget global warming. Climate change, brought on by global warming, is raising the temperatures of the earth’s waters. Ocean temperatures rise, and birds and other aquatic life become more susceptible to new pollutants and a whole raft of other changes, one thing altering another. But take heart. On a happier note, there are many species of healthy, hearty birds choosing to winter over here. Since they don’t always make a yearly winter appearance, their rare showings create all kinds of local interest. This winter, three Snowy Owls have been spotted up at the South Jetty. Typically found north of latitude 60 degrees north, these somewhat nomadic birds show up every few years but defiantly not each winter. They’re big beautiful creatures with cocky stares and, aptly, they don’t seem to give a hoot. And you never know which bird you’ll find on the wetland sewage treatment ponds in Cannon Beach. There’s always some fly-by or float-in activity going on, though Cannon Beach resident Patty Keller says that currently otters are demanding most

If you have a smart phone, a great app for identifying birds is iBird Pro of the attention. “If you pass by and don’t notice them, they start smacking the water. They are absolute show offs,” she said. “Get a copy of ‘Birds of the Pacific Northwest Coast’ by (Nancy) Baron and (John) Acorn. It’s a great reference guide to most of the more common birds seen on the North Coast,” suggested Gearhart’s lifelong birder Tom Anderson. “Be sure to get out and see the Harlequin ducks. They are beautiful yearround residents.” Just like yesteryear’s famous people migrants, Lewis and Clark, it turns out for birds, the North Coast in winter is not such a bad place to be.

ART WALK
January

5 to 8 p.m.
ASTORIA – The arts light up the evening as downtown merchants and galleries hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 tp 8 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 12. Meet artists and mingle with friends and fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits.
ART BUSINESSES Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. For the first art walk of the year, Imogen is pleased to present “Roger Hayes: Paintings of 2012.” For Astoria artist Roger Hayes, his nod to the New Year is a definitive look back, a reflection and documentation on his creative growth as a painter in the past year; all of Hayes’ dynamic and abstract paintings were created in 2012. Hayes has long been known for his expressive and edgy style of abstraction and figurative work. Hayes continues his use of abstraction as a form of communication, yet this collection illustrates a distinct departure. With great exploration of color and line, Hayes appears almost playful in approach. Still evident, however, is that inner city edge (in this case Detroit, Hayes’ hometown) along with a healthy dose and influence of graffiti that seems inescapable within his work. Hayes pulls no punches in this powerful and evocative series. “Roger Hayes: Paintings of 2012” will be on exhibit Jan. 12 to Feb. 5. KALA 1017 Marine Drive KALA presents “The Art of Motherhood OR When a Poet Moves to a Visual Arts Town Where it Rains A Lot and Births a Daughter: Nancy and Nazina (aka Izzy) Cook.” The exhibit includes new, collaborative and collected works in mixed media, quilt
art, wood fired ceramics and kid art. Poet, writer, Clatsop Community College instructor and RAIN magazine editor Nancy Cook, in her “decidedly lowbrow show,” brings her art out of the closet. The exhibit will be in the “Back Forty” at KALA, as the “Postcards from the Edge” exhibit continues. After the art walk, stay at KALA for the “Come-N-Get Yo’ Sweat On!” dance party from 8 p.m. to midnight. A $5 admission includes one drink ticket. DJ Rock-Man – aka North Coast DJ and percussionist Jon Trumbull – will spin the turntables for old and new school hip-hop, house, dub-step, reggae, funky house, world dance and Brazillian. There will also be live shamanicdance and Latin break-beat percussion. Beer, wine and cocktails will be available.
Coast, Steve has been drawing since he was a kid. This is his first art show. His clean compositions along with lovely pencil lines are oddly compelling. He shows his skill at hand-cut silk screens as well. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. RiverSea Gallery will host an art walk reception for two separate exhibits featuring local artists Charles Schweigert and Dwight Caswell. Both artists will be in house to meet visitors and talk about their work. Music will be provided by Judy Woodward on cello accompanied by Hannelore Morgan on the recorder. Assorted wines and small bites will be served. Charles Schweigert shares his delight in strange migratory birds and imaginary hybrid creatures called theriomorphs in the series “Things with Feathers, Perched in the Soul.” Dwight Caswell is this month’s Artist in the Alcove with the exhibit “Finding China” (see more on Page 9). He shares his photographs of China along with a book he’s published covering the same material.

paintings to say something about living simply in a deeply loving and caring way in this rich and beautiful universe,” Fox said. “As the tides that roll in and roll out to sea, we are just pilgrims and nomads on this earth; we have been given much, and we need to give back so that where there is scarcity and need others can live.” Festival Artists Co-op at AMF 1271 Commercial St. The Festival Artists Co-op, located at the Astoria Music Festival office, is starting the new year with a fresh coat of paint and a brand new look.

In addition to wall art, there will be a selection of greeting cards, jewelry and handprinted clothing.

Nature Matters
Listening to the Land: ‘The Forgotten Fish’ surfaces in Seaside
What goes down the drain and into the water basin: contaminants in the Columbia River and what you can do about it ASTORIA – The wild beauty found along the Columbia River makes it easy to forget that the river moves through many urban environments, absorbing storm water and waste water treatment discharge long the way. At this month’s Nature Matters on Thursday, Jan. 17 at 7 p.m. at the Fort George Lovell Showroom, Jennifer Morace, a hydrologist with the U.S. Geological Survey Oregon Water Science Center, will talk about the contaminants she has found in the urban waste water that flows into the river every day and how they affect the delicate balance of

drain doesn’t create problems for the river you love. This event is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6 p.m. for those wanting to purchase dinner or beverages at Fort George before the event. Morace’s work to identify and understand contaminants in the Columbia River can help everyone who lives and works along the river to reduce the flow of toxins into the rich ecosystem
of the Lower Columbia River Basin. She works closely with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agecy, the Lower Columbia Estuary Partnership and Columbia Riverkeepers to evaluate water quality conditions in the basin and help communities and individuals work toward a healthier environment for all. Nature Matters, a conversation about the intersection of nature and culture, takes place on the third Thursday of every month through the spring. The collaborative series is hosted by Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, North Coast Land Conservancy and the North Coast Watershed Association in partnership with the Fort George Brewery and Public House. The series delves into the many ways that humans look to the natural world for inspiration, sustenance and survival.

Former ‘Deadliest Catch’ captain to speak about crabbing SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library will welcome Derrick Ray, local fisherman and former captain on “Deadliest Catch,” Thursday, Jan. 17. The event will take place in the Community Room and begins at 7 p.m. Ray is a Seaside native who has been crabbing since he was 9 years old and who left Seaside to go fishing when he was 18. He has been running boats in Alaska since he was 23 and was the captain of the Siberian Sea, a successful crab boat, for 15 years. When Phil Harris, captain of the Cornelia Marie, passed away in February of 2010, Ray was chosen by the Harris family and the producers of “Deadliest Catch” to complete the crabbing season. Ray and Harris had built a long-term friendship while crab fishing together on the Bering Sea and there was a great deal of mutual respect between the two captains. Ray returned to 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17 Alaska on short notice Seaside Public Library to help out Josh and Jake Harris, Phil’s two 1131 Broadway, Seaside sons, who needed an 503-738-6742 experienced man to www.seasidelibrary.org captain the Cornelia Free Marie.

Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL
became fascinated with photography at an early age, printing my first photograph 58 years ago. I’ve been a professional for 39 years, and over that time, the landscape and a relationship to place have become my primary interests. When I left for China and Tibet in October 2010, I expected to photograph landscapes, but expectations can mislead and disappoint us. China was shrouded in smog. Of course, I didn’t stop photographing, mostly the people I met, but I was still disappointed. I didn’t look at the images for a year. When I finally began editing, I found something I hadn’t appreciated: those pictures of the people of China and Tibet. I showed them to Jeannine Grafton at RiverSea Gallery, and she gave me a show that opens this Saturday evening. Only one problem remained: printing and framing scores of photographs and hopefully making money doing it. Artists are often asked why their work costs so much, especially printmakers and photographers. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard people say, “I could take a picture like that if I had a better camera” – as if to ask why they should pay for something they could do themselves. The reality is that even in the digital age it takes photographers years to develop the ability to translate what inspires the eye into something that others can experience. All artists acquire a discipline, and this is how I understand it: Be entirely present at every step of the process; include only what is essential; exclude what is not essential. Simple? Try it. I’m still learning, and I’ll be learning until the day I die. Then there is the equipment. A professional camera costs about three grand. And don’t forget backup gear, because you don’t want to drop your only camera somewhere in Tibet. Plus the computer (mine is a Mac with a terabyte hard drive), Photoshop and a printer, because nobody else can print the image the way an artist sees it. A little desktop printer won’t do; you’ll need one that can produce large archival prints. Another $2,000, plus $500 for each new set of ink cartridges. You’d be surprised how easy it is for a photographer to spend $10,000, even without paying for a ticket to Tibet. Did you notice that word, “archival”? It’s not enough that the prints have to all but jump off the paper.
Tibetan mother and child in the ancient Barkhor Bazaar in Lhasa, Tibet.
For years I didn’t exhibit color prints because they weren’t permanent. Now technology permits color prints that will last almost 200 years before beginning to fade – more if they aren’t constantly exposed to light. This requires heavy paper that is not simply acid-free, but is buffered with calcium carbonate against environmental acids. It also requires pigment-based inks (no dyes, which fade) and ultraviolet-resistant varnish. This

Then there’s the matting and framing. I’m writing this as I take a break from framing. My standard mat and frame, which is 16 inches by 20 inches, costs about $50 wholesale, and the gallery takes 50 percent of whatever price I set at a show. So I have to charge at least $100 per print just to break even. Which means that if I charge $200 for a print, or sell it framed for $300, I get

a bowling alley with a restaurant
I
have long thought that for a relatively small coastal region we are culinarily blessed with both a large number of excellent restaurants and a wide diversity in styles and flavors. While as a diner this is fantastic, as a restaurant critic this makes my job difficult. How does one compare a gourmet seafood restaurant to a pizza parlor or an Italian bistro to a burger joint? I believe that doing so would be impossible; each restaurant must instead be considered and judged on its own merit and in and of itself. So when I dine out, I ask myself “What does this restaurant have to offer?” and “Is it offering it in the best way possible?” I approached Recreation Lanes Restaurant & Lounge in Gearhart with that in mind: For a restaurant that accompanies a bowling alley, what are they offering, and are they offering it in the best way they can? The answer to that question is that they are offering standard “bowling” food, and the offering is very average. We arrived at Recreation Lanes late on Monday afternoon and more or less had the place to ourselves. We were warmly greeted by our friendly
server, and our orders were taken and delivered quickly. The restaurant and lounge are clean, but without frills; the bowling alley is the real star of the show. As an appetizer, we chose potato skins with melted cheddar cheese and bacon, served with sour

cream on the side. I thought the skins to be a little flimsy; when making these at home, I like to leave a fair amount of potato inside the skins, giving them more substance. The potatoes were a bit greasy from all the cheese, and the bacon was a little overcooked and tough and served in large squares, rather than crumbled into bits. The overall flavor was average, not noteworthy. Next up was a green side salad with ranch dressing. The salad featured large chunks of iceberg lettuce and toppings that seemed like they might also double as toppings for the pizza the restaurant serves – large slices of tomato, black olives, and shredded cheese. The salad was clearly handcrafted, though, and the ranch dressing was flavorful. As a first entrée, I chose beer-battered halibut fish and chips with garlic toast. For the price tag of $17.95, I was expecting more in terms of quantity
and quality. The three pieces of fish were rather small, and I wanted a heartier batter; this was a bit thin and without the mellow zing that beer usually lends to a batter. Curious also was the tartar sauce

ATMOSPHERE: Clean and simple; the restaurant’s décor takes a back seat to the bowling alley. SERVICE: Exceptionally friendly and accomodating ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Very few vegetarian options, only a green salad and fried appetizers such as onion rings. DRINKS: Coffee and soft drinks are offered, along with a wide range of beer, a full bar and a few wines.
‘As a first entree, I chose beer-battered halibut fish and chips with garlic toast. For the price tag of $17.95, I was expecting more in terms of quantity and quality.’ – mayonnaise is the base for tartar sauce, usually making it fairly creamy and thick, but this was thin and oddly transparent. The French fries were quite tasty, though, with a good amount of crunch, and I appreciated the “fry sauce” that accompanied them (mayonnaise, ketchup and vinegar). The garlic toast seemed to be nothing more than regular slices of sandwich bread flavored with garlic butter, and it was only toasted on one side. Overall, I was expecting a bit more for what I consider a higher price point. A club house sandwich served with tator tots fared better. The slices of turkey were thick and juicy, and the portion of bacon was also very generous. It was more than a substantial-sized meal, and the tator tots were also perfectly crisp, making the $7.75 price tag much more reasonable than the fish and chips.

Cannon Beach History Center
Program season to start with Oregon World War II troops CANNON BEACH — Oregon’s well-known Sunset Highway, traveled daily by thousands, carries that name in honor of a famous National Guard division that has its roots in Oregon. A documentary premiere of “Jungleers In Battle,” featuring oral histories of 41st Infantry troops from Oregon in World War II, will be shown at the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 17. The documentary is 67 minutes long. Admission is a recommended donation of $5 to $10. Alisha Hamel, the film’s director, will be in attendance to introduce the documentary and answer questions afterward. Refreshments will be available. Proceeds may also be allocated to a fund to send the historic USS Shark’s cannon and capstan to Texas A&M University in the spring of 2013 for restoration. After the United States entered the war in December 1941,

THE ARTS
Art show: Breaking even ups prices Continued from Page 9 only $100 to cover my time and other expenses. To increase sales, I provide prints in a range of sizes and prices as well as books to go with my shows, which many other photographers do. For this show, the book is 4,000 words with color illustrations and costs $18. Some might ask, “Why do you give 50 percent of a sale to the gallery?” First, because it is a privilege to show in a first-rate gallery. Second, because I didn’t go into photography to watch a shop every day, which is what a gallery pays staff to do. The gallery also pays the rent and
utilities. They send out the invitations and press releases. They know people who might like my art, and they pay for the refreshments (which attract underfed artists). In short, they do everything most artists don’t want to do, and few would have it any other way. The bottom line is that I – and most photographers – have to sell about a dozen prints to break even. A painter might have to sell only a few canvases but has a greater investment in time for each canvas. Why do we even go to the trouble? A lot of artists could make more money flipping burgers, but we have been cursed with a talent and a compulsion to create.
the invasion of Japan when the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Japanese surrendered. The division performed occupation duty in the Kure-Hiroshima area of Japan until Dec. 31, 1945. In 1946, the 41st reorganized as the Pacific Northwest’s Army National Guard division. In the 1960s, it was given a national defense mission of protecting Alaska, and the troops trained in northern operations. When the division was deactivated in 1968, its heritage and insignia passed on to the 41st Infantry Brigade of the Oregon Army National Guard, which continues today headquartered at Camp Withycombe, with units throughout Oregon. The shoulder-sleeve insignia of the 41st is a red half-disk with a yellow setting sun over a blue baseline representing the Pacific Ocean. It is the basis for the name “Sunset Division,” and on Jan. 17, 1946, U.S. Highway 26, from Portland to Seaside,

From his young teens through his late 20s, Lanz was a rocker with groups steeped in both classic covers and what he terms “Northwest Instrumental Rock.” The talented young musician honed his skills working with an eclectic array of groups and recording projects, including playing keyboards on Terry Jack’s 1974 worldwide hit “Seasons in the Sun” and recording one album for Mercury Records with Canadian super-group Brahman in 1971. “There was no musical style quite like it in those days,” Lanz said. “And it certainly wasn’t called New Age.” Later on, his “Heartsounds” album in 1984 helped launch Narada Records into the mainstream and led Lanz into a chart-topping career which featured nine bestselling solo albums. Advance tickets for this and other individual events are $25 each for adults and $20 for students. Tickets at the door are priced at $30 for adults and $25 for students.

the lounge’s daily happy hour (3:30 to 6 p.m.), and we were unexpectedly given happy hour prices on the appetizer, even though we weren’t sitting in the lounge, which was a nice surprise. At the end of the day, I’m a bit “split” on my overall critique of the restaurant (and please know how difficult it has been for me to refrain from using more bowling jokes up to this point). As a customer, this restaurant might not be at the top of my list, were I only interested in the food alone. If the main reason I came was to bowl, though, I wouldn’t hesitate to order a dish or two, knowing that what I would receive is rather average, fried diner food. In my opinion, Recreation Lanes is a bowling alley with a restaurant, and not a restaurant with a bowling alley, and I think that’s an important distinction.
Astoria Women’s Heart Health Initiative January 12th & 13th, 2013, 8 a.m. - 4 p. m. Astoria Middle School Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University invite you to participate in a research study to learn more about heart disease risk factors in women and prevention behaviors. We will collect data about your health for research. Participation is voluntary. This is part of “Let’s Get Healthy!” who partners with interested communities to run fun health fairs where you learn about your own health, like your diet, sleep habits, and body fat percentage. You receive feedback based on your results! Available in English and Spanish. Researchers are seeking women between the ages of 20 to 69 years and living in Clatsop County. The study requires 1 visit to a local health fair event. Your participation at the event will take up to 2 hours. You may also be seen before the health fair if you want to make a screening appointment, in addition to the health fair. The appointment can take up to 30 minutes. You will be compensated for your time with a $20 gift card. If you are interested or have any questions about the study, please contact Sarah Egan, Senior Research Assistant, at 503-494-2947 or email: hearthealth@ohsu.edu HCC 545601 5/10
