The Swearingen family, Tami, Bryan, Chase and Oliva, stand on the elk feeding wagon at the Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area on Oregon Highway 202. The family lives on the refuge, and Bryan is the manager of the Wildlife Area.

Coastal Life Story and photos by DON ANDERSON

Life on an

ELK REFUGE For the Swearingen family, the days are never boring

W

When you live on a wildlife refuge, your life is never going to be “normal.� On a snowy day in December, when Jewell School was out and the rest of the students were sleeping in, sixth grader Chase Swearingen and his fourth grade sister Olivia were out on the hay wagon feeding the nearly 300 elk that inhabit the Jewell Wildlife Area. “The feeding tours couldn’t get here because of the weather, so it was, ‘Go get the kids and get them out here,’ because the elk have got to be fed,� said Bryan Swearingen, wildlife area manager in Jewell. His wife, Tami, who is an instructional assistant at Jewell School, also comes out on these family feedings. The Swearingens live on the Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area, or elk refuge, as it is more commonly called. Bryan Swearingen, who graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in biology, his one employee and volunteers oversee the area, making sure that elk are properly cared for, that the public is educated, and that the grounds are kept in good condition. For the kids, growing up in such an isolated spot (about halfway between Astoria and Hillsboro), has 4 | January 9, 2014 | coastweekend.com

its ups and downs, but they mostly like it. “I love to get to watch the elk. I have a secret elk-viewing spot,� said Chase, who enjoys hopping on the elk wagon and assisting his father give prime Eastern Oregon alfalfa hay to the elk in the middle of the meadow. “I go out with my brother. We go out to feed them when there is no school,� said Olivia, who admits she sometimes gets tired of the elk, who seem to take up a lot of her life. From December through February, the Jewell Meadows Wildlife Area hosts between 800 and 1,000 guests who can sign up to feed the elk on a daily basis. Guests show up at the elk refuge headquarters around 8 a.m., and Bryan Swearingen gives them instructions on what to do and – more importantly – what not to do. “Do not leave the wagon,� he tells a group on a frosty morning in December. “It is not that the elk will hurt you, but you will scare them off,� he said. The group heads out to the eastern meadows where most of the cows gather ahead of time, waiting for their morning hay. “This is just a part of their

breakfast,� said Swearingen. “We don’t feed the elk all they need to survive,� he added. The rich hay is trucked from Eastern Oregon because according to Swearingen, the elk won’t eat hay made from local grasses; it is not different enough from what they normally eat. “But why do you feed them at all?� asked one of the guests on the trip. Swearingen replies that the extra hay can help the elk through

D GLIÂż FXOW ZLQWHU EXW DGPLWV WKDW one reason is to keep the elk coming back to the meadow to be in the view of the public. “After all, part of the purpose of the Wildlife Area is educational,â€? said Swearingen. Once the cow elk are fed, Swearingen drives the tractor and hay wagon down Oregon Highway 202 to the western-most meadow where the bulls are impatiently waiting for their morning repast. Cameras from nearly everyone on the wagon click away as the huge bulls with spectacular racks of antlers approach the wagon. Swearingen divides the bales of hay into thin sections, which the guests throw out into the Âż HOGV 7KH EXOO HON UXVK RYHU WR WKH small piles of hay, sometimes sparring over the rights to eat from a VSHFLÂż F SLOH 7KH FOLFN FOLFN RI DQW lers can be heard, and Swearingen VD\V WKH\ DUHQÂśW Âż JKWLQJ MXVW VKRZ ing who is dominant and who must EDFN RII DQG Âż QG WKHLU RZQ KD\ “Winter is the most popular season for people to see elk because the elk are here pretty much all day long,â€? said Swearingen. “However, each season has its own viewing opportunity to see the elk. You can come out in March and April to see the bulls without their antlers; you can come out in May, June and July with the bulls grow-

ing their antlers in velvet and see newborn calves. You will also see elk in their summer coats. But in the summertime you won’t see the elk all day long. They may be out in the early morning or in the evening, but in the midday they will be in the timbered areas. “September is the best time to hear them bugling because from the Âż UVW RI 6HSWHPEHU WR WKH PLGGOH RI October is the middle of the rutting season when the elk are breeding. That is a good time to see the male HON Âż JKWLQJ DQG EXJOLQJ ´ 6ZHDULQ gen said. Though there are usually a few issues with hunters at the refuge every year, they mostly involve hunters who legally shoot an elk off the refuge, and then the wounded elk wanders onto the refuge and dies. “We’ve had lots of instances where a hunter had shot an animal in a legal area and then stepped across this imaginary line into the closed area and have to come and knock on our door at 10 o’clock at night and say, ‘I need help!’ But that is part of my job and part of living out here,â€? Swearingen said. The Swearingens have been living on the elk refuge for 14 years, and Tami Swearingen says that despite its isolation, she wouldn’t have it any other way. “The huge advantage of living out here is that our kids get to grow up around the elk and in this natural environment. I like that a lot. It is peaceful out here, sometimes a little too peaceful, a little too isolating, but I never get tired of seeing the elk. When I was little we used to camp down Beneke Road, and I used to think, ‘Wow, it is so far out there, when will we get there?’ But now I live here!â€? Tami said. Of course, over the years Bryan Swearingen gets asked many silly questions by well-meaning guests, like “When do the deer turn into elk?â€? or “Do you name all the elk?â€? But Swearingen views each meeting he has with the public as an opportunity to educate people on one of the most majestic natural resources that lives in this area.

ART BUSINESSES

1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. In “Caffeine Mythology” Portland artist Anne Grgich brings a new collection of elaborate and evocative collaged paintings.

2. Old Town Framing 1287 Commercial St. Old Town Framing wishes you a happy 2014. Come pick up a stick, and toast the new year. 3. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. RiverSea Gallery presents “WinterPrint 2014: North Coast Printmakers Collective Show + Regional Print Invitational,” a tribute to the rich diversity

of contemporary printmaking in the region, comprised of two exhibitions featuring work by 25 artists. Opening with a reception during art walk, “WinterPrint 2014” consists of a juried exhibition of new work by members of the North Coast Printmakers Collective, plus a regional print invitational that showcases works by noted Oregon printmakers, each selected for their facility with a particular technique. Nicole Rawlins, head of the printmaking program at Portland’s Multnomah Art Center, serves as both the juror for the NCPC members’ show and the curator of the print invitational. These paired shows offer a compendium of techniques and styles, and together they encompass an exciting mix of emerging and established talent. The gallery welcomes all to a veritable feast of printmaking, conversation with the artists and refreshments. The two exhibitions continue through Feb. 4. 4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Printmaker Elizabeth Bonn-Zimmerman will be the featured artist this

January at Tempo Gallery. Her most recent works are collagraphs. With these prints, the plates are made three dimensionally out of cardboard and other materials, like a collage. The plate is then inked and wiped like an etching, hand printed with a press, and usually comes out embossed. She is playing with a combination of plant monoprints and added embossed images, going through the press numerous times. Stop by to see her new work and enjoy refreshments. “My work comes from meditation, dreams and dream-like images that strike me in the daytime world,” Bonn-Zimmerman said. “So often there are feelings and thoughts that cannot be expressed in daily conversations. Words don’t communicate all that needs to be said. Dreams have always moved and guided me. The inner world has usually spoken louder to me then the outer. In art, there are untouched realms to work with, to play with, receive and create. My voice would be small indeed, stifled without my artwork.” 5. KALA 1017 Marine Drive Inspired by the writings of Carl Jung and Joseph Campbell, Oregon artist Stirling Gorsuch interprets the 12 signs of the Zodiac in linocuts in “Full Circle.” In addition

to a large mural of the 12 signs, each sign is also available in linocut and print reproductions paired with the ruling planetary glyph. Artist Sid Deluca’s imaginative and wry collage series “Venus and Lars” colorfully depicts sexy models from the 1950s and 1960s against a backdrop of cosmic imagery. This year keep track of the moon and your dates with the locally produced Full Circle Zodiac Calendar – created by HIPFiSHmonthly, local astrologer Anniken Moe and Gorsuch – for sale at KALA, regional bookstores and galleries. 6. Fernhill Glass 1450 Exchange St. Claude Kurtz will be having a Celebration of Life for his grandson, Michael Jerad Hucke (Dec. 14, 2013 – Dec. 31, 2013). Come light candles and send healing thoughts to his parents, Jerad and Lydia, and his twin sister, Daisy Lydia Hucke, in The Netherlands. Ferhnhill will be open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. for glass blowing demonstrations and sales. All sales for the day will go to The Netherlands.

9. La Luna Loca 382 12th St. Featuring global treasures to adorn body and home, La Luna Loca travels to meet the artisans who make the traditional crafts and in-house-designed clothing offered in the shop’s Astoria and Cannon Beach locations. Handmade leather bags will be featured this month, made by Mexican artisan Miguel Rios. Pick up one of these treasure to start 2014 out right. 10. Flourine & Co. 395 11th St. Two local artists will be featured at Flourine & Co. David Fondgren, of Clatskanie, welds vintage steel into industrial

sculptures and functional pieces, such as a guitar stand, card holder and a candle holder.

His art has been featured in the Fort George Lovell Showroom since fall 2013, and Flourine & Co. will be showing a collection of his fine drawings and acrylics.

PRINTMAKERS

N

showcase their talent

Not many people go to art galleries to look at the prints. We usually associate galleries with paintings, sculptures, and perhaps ceramics or jewelry; not many of us delve through the print bins or search the walls for framed monotypes, collagraphs or etchings. That’s a shame, because a lot of striking work is being done, and there is a growing cadre of printmakers in the Lower Columbia region and the 3aci¿c Northwest in general. Let’s get one thing straight about printmaking: These works are not reproductions of original art. These prints are original art. The various bases – plates, stones, fabric screens and so on – that are used to create these prints are not ¿nished pieces in themselves. The ¿nished original is the image on the paper surface that the ink has been transferred to. In some techniques, the process itself destroys the base. In others, the artist deliberately limits the edition. Something else about prints: Although original works of art, they are usually much less expensive than paintings. You’ll get a chance to see how good printmaking can be at this month’s Sec-

ent we have here.” If you’ve ever wondered about the differences among the many printmaking disciplines, you’ll ¿nd many ¿ne examples at RiverSea. The oldest form of printmaking, the woodcut, was ¿rst seen in Japan some 1,200 years ago, and at the show it is represented by gentle and colorful renderings of natural subjects by Renee Ugrin of Damascus. The intaglio family of printmaking processes goes back 500 years, and all involve incising the design by either chemical or mechanical means into a surface, which is then inked and wiped clean, so that only the lines hold the ink. Paper is pressed over the plate to make the print. The ¿rst such technique, engraving, is perhaps the most dif¿cult, involving the incising of lines into a metal plate using a hardened steel “burin.” Noted engraver John Saling of Portland represents this technique in the show. Intaglio soon evolved into a variety of techniques. Etching was invented shortly after engraving, then mezzotint, drypoint, and eventually photo-etching. Collagraphs add a collage of various materials to the intaglio plate, creating different tonal and color effects. All are represented in this show, as are a variety of mixed intaglio works that combine two or more techniques.

Lithography uses a limestone or metal plate treated to repel the ink except where it is required for printing (represented by Gary Rawlins, who has been a printmaker for more than 40 years). Screenprinting, which you may know as “silkscreenâ€? or “serigraphy,â€? creates prints by using a fabric stencil technique; ink is simply pushed through the stencil against the surface of the paper. Look for prints by Palmarin Merges, who mixes screenprints with hand embroidery and other media. The most unique print, literally, is the monotype, made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The surface, or matrix, was historically a copper etching plate, but in contemporary work it can be zinc, glass or acrylic. The image is then transferred onto a sheet of paper by pressing the two together, usually using a printing press.

Astoria Italian restaurant offers tasty a la carte dishes and elegant interior

If you are a regular reader of this column, you may remember me saying that I particularly love Italian food, and it is the sort of food I’ve devoted the most time to perfecting in my own kitchen. My love affair with Italian food started when I was little, and a few times a year my family would make a trip to the “big cityâ€? of Portland, which would always include a stop at Sylvia’s. Sylvia’s was a “mom and popâ€? Italian restaurant on Sandy Boulevard, complete with red-and-white checkered tablecloths, drippy candles in chianti bottles, and a violin player who wandered the restaurant taking requests. It was SHUKDSV QRW HOHJDQW Âż YH VWDU GLQLQJ EXW LW ZDV Âż YH VWDU IRRG DQG HYHQ DV D NLG P\ PRXWK would begin watering as soon as our car hit U.S. Route 26. In particular, Sylvia’s hearty, minestrone soup was the best I have ever tasted. Sylvia’s sadly closed their doors a few years ago after more than 40 years in the business, and the restaurant’s recipe for minestrone was happily released to the general public. I make it often at home, and every time I do, I feel warm – from the soup and from the memories. I am not Italian, a sad reality I’ve often lamented, but I would imagine that to those for whom the culture is near and dear, Italian food is OLNH WKDW SDUW Ă€ DYRU SDUW IDPLO\ SDUW PHPRULHV Fulio’s Pastaria in Astoria is one of only a few Italian restaurants in our area. Its interior is elegant and sophisticated (no checkered tablecloths here), and while I do not feel the same sense of intimacy and warm spirit that I used to feel at Sylvia’s and a few other Italian restaurants that still exist in the Northwest, that is not to say that I do not like Fulio’s food. On the

contrary, I particularly like many of the dishes on Fulio’s menu, and after this entirely too-long introduction, I’ll talk about them now. One of my favorites from my recent visit was the seared Caesar salad with chicken, with a split head of Romaine that has been marinated and grilled so that the edges are blackened. I don’t particularly care for Romaine lettuce any other way, and I ¿ QG WKDW WKH VPRN\ À D vor of a grill elevates it. The chicken that accompanied the Romaine was also deliciously tender and well À DYRUHG My only semi-complaint with the dish, and this is based on my personal tastes, is that the Caesar dressing was much too thick. I prefer a light and thin Caesar, and I also like it a bit tangier, with more garlic.

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: Open 11 a.m. to close daily. PRICES: Lunch prices range from $8 to $16. I believe $16 for an a la carte lunch entrÊe, with no salad, bread, etc, is too high. ATMOSPHERE: Warm and elegant, Fulio’s is an attractive dining space. A bright and sunny window seat is ideal for lunch while more dimly lit booths lend themselves well to romance.

tiny bit of sugar, just to tone down the intensity of the acidic tomatoes. I do, however, appreciate the tartness in a dish like the penne putanesca, which Fulio’s prepares exceedingly well. Capers, anchovies and black olives add some depth to the marinara in this case, and the addition of chicken or rock shrimp (your choice) further enhances the Ă€ DYRU SURÂż OH , FKRVH URFN VKULPS DQG WKRXJKW them a good companion to the anchovies. This is a minor overall point, but each dish at Fulio’s is served a la carte; soup or salad is not included with your entrĂŠe, and though a slice or two of bread may sometimes accompany your dish, it is otherwise only available to order, and is not provided at the table, as is customary in many Italian restaurants (since so many Italian dishes lend themselves to “sopping upâ€? with bread). A simple basket of bread delivered to the table when you are seated sets the tone for your dining experience, and lends to that spirit of family and intimacy I mentioned before. Though I had some quibbles with a few of the dishes at Fulio’s, overall my dining experiHQFH ZDV TXLWH SRVLWLYH DQG , Âż QG PDQ\ RI WKH dishes on Fulio’s expansive menu to be above average.

SERVICE: Our server was very friendly and accommodating, paced our many courses well, and seemed well versed in the menu. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Fulio’s earns an A+ for providing alternative dietary choices with several meatless salads, soups and pastas, plus gluten-free, rice or corn pasta. DRINKS: Soft drinks, coffee, tea, Italian favorites such as Pellegrino, Limonata and Italian sodas, and an impressive selection of beer and wine.

Can you describe your Would you consider yourself a full-time visual artist? I am in the studio four to five days a week working on something, and nowadays I have a particular show or venue in mind for my work. On top of going to school full time, I devote most of my free time to my art. The more committed I have become, the better I’ve gotten with time management and the business end of things. What subjects or themes do you focus on? My work is mostly allegorical and has a certain “mythological” quality when it comes to subject matter. The meaning and message is often ambiguous and subjective. But generally speaking, the ocean, the human figure and landscape are most often what I find myself creating. Is there anything you’re currently working on or have recently finished? I just finished a series of copper plate etchings inspired by coastal landscapes, which will be showing with my other work at Fort

Stirling Gorsuch shows his print work at venues across the state.

George’s Lovell Showroom at the Second Saturday Art Walk Jan. 11. What led you to create your Zodiac series? The Zodiac series, which is showing at KALA in Astoria through January, was an idea I had almost a year ago. It started when I carved a block print of one of the 12 signs, just for fun. Then time passed, and I thought it would be an exciting challenge to design all 12 signs. It took months to accomplish, but I am proud of the result. The most satisfying part is seeing people’s reactions to the images. Some people see the essence of themselves or somebody they know in the work, which is more than what I could have ever hoped for as a result of making the series. The images have also been turned into a 2014 calendar, which is available at KALA in Astoria. Where do you show your work? I have been showing my work in many non-traditional settings lately. Most recently I had a show at New Frontier Market in Eugene and Thump Coffee in Bend, as well as restaurants in Corvallis. December was also my first opportunity to participate in a group show at People’s Art Gallery in Portland. You show at many venues across Oregon. Are you constantly producing work? Do you visit every venue? When I have multiple

shows in one month (for example I had four in December!) I have to decide where to be for the opening reception. But I deliver and hang all my work in each place that I show, so I develop a relationship with every place I go, which is one of the most rewarding parts of the job. Some of my images are more successful than others, so I make new work according to the demand. But all my prints are multiple originals, meaning I do not sell any of my work as digital reproductions. This makes for more hours in the studio, but the work is always original. What is the process of creating a print like for you? It starts with an illustration or at least a basic design. I usually print background colors on paper, called “flats,” ahead of time. I then transfer the drawing to linoleum, copper or other printing “matrix,” as it’s called, and then bring the image to life by either carving or etching the image into the plate. Once that’s finished, printing ink is applied, the paper is set on top, and it is run through a press. The image is then transferred from the matrix to the paper and voila! That is the basic process, but it gets more complicated with multiple colors, layers, etc. What’s your favorite thing to do on a winter day on the North Coast? Hike either Falcon Cove or Saddle Mountain, followed by a visit to a local coffee shop to dry off.
