LONG BEACH, Wash. — NW Artist Guild members will show their work at Gallery 504 North with an open house 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 13. Judy Leonard, of Ocean Park, Wash., will be the featured artist for the show, which runs 12 to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays through July. Born and raised in the southern California gold mining country, Leonard started her art career early, sketching and painting from the age of 10. She made a name for herself portraying the derelict barns and beautiful scenery of the area. Leonard continuously works to improve her art, and she sold many paintings during her time in California and later in Arizona. She moved to the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula in
2005 and has consistently taken major prizes in the Peninsula Arts Association’s shows. She recently received a People’s Choice Award at PAA’s spring show. Her work can be seen at her shop, The Picture Attic and other peninsula venues. She is a member of the Peninsula Arts Association and the NW Artist Guild. The NW Artist Guild is a group of dedicated artists on the peninsula who are interested in becoming more professional about their art and hope to encourage more artists to join their endeavor to provide a venue where art can be seen and appreciated. The public is encouraged to attend the opening, and interested artists are welcome to in-

here in the ColumbiaPacific region. And so is summer produce. I try to buy local, and it’s easy to do in the summer, thanks to Oregon’s natural bounty. (How good were those strawberries last month?) This year, though the farmers markets are definitely on my calendar, I decided to go one step further and purchase a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share. A CSA works in that you pay ahead of time for a “share” of a farmer’s wares and receive a box of seasonal produce each week. I’m four weeks in, and I love it. Every Friday there’s a thrilling anticipation: What will be in my box? And what fun recipes can I try with these tasty, colorful local veggies? So far I’ve enjoyed making purple carrot muffins, steamed artichokes, pesto, and kale and beet greens stir fry. One new veggie my CSA box brought to my kitchen was a Romanesco. Also known as a Roman cauliflower, the heirloom Italian veggie has been enjoyed
since the 16th century. The head of the cauliflower is apple green in color (though mine had a lovely white and violet swoosh on one side), and the florets whirl out in a spiral – a natural fractal. Though there are probably many ways to eat it, I roasted my Romanesco, which produced sweet, tender stems and crispy floret heads. I’m doing my CSA with Fred’s Homegrown Produce. Run by farmer Fred Johnson, the 100-year-old farm is located on a beautiful spot in Naselle, Wash. A tire swing hangs from
a tall, sturdy tree in the yard. The river borders one side of the property, and fields stretch out north toward the rolling green hills. The air is sweet with summer, rich soil, and the mystery and magic of growing things. Last weekend, Johnson hosted a pizza potluck out at the farm for friends, farmers and CSA members. Chowing down on pizza with fresh basil, chunky pesto and the first sweet peppers of the season, community members gathered in the yard to meet and greet. There was abounding conversation and friendly dogs.
One man even broke out his guitar to play some tunes. Touring the farm, we got to see the rapidly growing beans, the flowering pea plants, the freshly planted squash, and the first green tomatoes (and imagine them ripening to rich red goodness soon). It was the perfect mix of community and agriculture coming together for a good time.

$1,200 for the grand prize. On Saturday, Sand Sculpting Contest participants check in starting at 8:30 a.m., and the sculpting begins at 10 a.m. Teams will compete in a variety of areas, including: suitability to sand, creativity, effort, design, intricacy, teamwork, overall appearance, and how much fun you are having. Yes, judges will be watching for smiles, cheers and entertaining the crowd while the sand creations are being made. What entertains the audience? Andi Day, executive director of the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau says, “Creative wardrobe choices that reflect the theme of the sculpture, and ‘Sea Creatures’ is our theme this year. Some teams represent organizations, nonprofits or workplace teams – it’s a fabulous team-building exercise. There is often singing and dancing.” At 12:30 p.m. the South Pacific County Humane Society will host a Sand Flea Pet Parade with prizes awarded for pet costumes, tricks and pet-owner resemblance. Day recommends getting to the beach by 3 p.m. Saturday in order to vote for the People’s Choice Award. Finally, as the tide begins to come in, the judges will announce the winners and hand out prizes while the art itself fades back into the ocean – again reduced to grains of ancient sand awaiting next year’s incarnation.

Ready, set – sand sculpt!
Sandsations competition comes to the Long Beach Peninsula
I
It is summertime again here on the coast of America’s two most beautiful states (we might be a little bit biased), and even if Washington and Oregon’s shores don’t allow for swimming per se, they do make for lots of other great activities on the beaches, from bonfires to bike rides, long walks, kite flying – and of course, making sandcastles. Over the years sand castles have grown from children with buckets and shovels staying busy on the beach to a full scale art form as professional artists create incredible temporary masterpieces, sometimes competing for big prizes and traveling the world to do so. Sandsations, the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula’s friendly sandcastle competition, has also come a long way over the last quarter century. The event that turns billions of grains of sand into fleeting masterpieces is now four days long and includes some big prizes. While many beach communities offer sandcastle contests, Long Beach, Wash., goes above and beyond, offering not one, not two, but three locations for the event, as well as an equally fun pet parade and competition. The

festivities begin 8 a.m. Wednesday, July 10, will run until the awards presentation and incoming tide 3:30 p.m. Saturday, July 13. On Wednesday and Thursday, July 10 and 11, visitors and participants alike can watch some of the masters at work, as they give demonstrations in both downtown Long Beach (Third Street SE behind the police station) and at the Port of Ilwaco from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. This also marks the beginning of the “pound up,” as the various sculptors and master teams fill large wooden forms with sand and water to prepare for sculpting. Spectators and helpers are welcome. On Friday, after watching master sculptors finish their City Sandsation creations, enjoy a free sand sculpting lesson at 5 p.m. at the Bolstad Avenue beach approach, followed by a beach bonfire at 8 p.m. This is also the last day to register to be part of Saturday’s Sand Sculpting Contest. Fees start at $1 per child participant to $65 for master entries. Register from 3 to 6 p.m at the Sandsations Trailer, also at Bolstad Avenue. Prizes will range from baskets of goodies to a whopping

Profile in brief: Carl Jara, professional sand sculptor (Don’t believe it when your parents say you can’t make sandcastles for a living! ) In an effort to help all those current and future sand sculptors out there, we asked for advice from one of the world’s most renown artists of the sand, Carl Jara of Cleveland, Ohio. He has been making sand sculptures for 22 years and counting, holds nine world championships, and has been featured on the “Travel Channel” twice for his works of sand art. You are a professional sand sculptor. Can you explain what kind of career this is? I’ve spent the last 22 years as a sand sculptor, 15 of them as a pro, and I’ve seen the progression of my own career and that of the profession as a whole evolve from a bunch of folks getting together to carve and party, to high-paying gigs around the world. Contests have evolved along with the masters; bigger prize purses, appearance fees, hotel rooms, travel and food have all become essential to our collective careers. Larger piles of sand, better sand, longer working hours, and the knowledge that we
are taken care of and reimbursed for our time has led to bigger, more elaborate sculptures. The years of practice and the infusion of sculptors from other countries and cultures and experience has exponentially increased the variety of aesthetic, technical and sheer awesomeness of our craft. Any tips on working the sand to your will? Learn! Take a lesson, seek out masters events, and watch – or better yet volunteer. We get a lot of new sculptors that way. Practice – whatever you have to do to get some time in, do it. Work on other mediums as well; compete in contests wherever you can find them. With knowledge, time and practice, the sand will become understandable. What topics are best for contests: politics, abstracts, animals? Politics are tough in contests, unless they are very well represented; in-your-face is bad and makes people

uncomfortable, but with humor and allegory politics can be more palatable. Animals are always good. Abstracts are tough; you need to know you can carve well before you move into abstracts. And remember, no subject always wins. Consistent clean carving, a great idea and an intimate knowledge of the material is what wins.

Sou’wester Lodge Vintage travel trailers to invade Long Beach Peninsula SEAVIEW, Wash. — The historic Sou’wester Lodge will host a variety of vintage travel trailer rallies this summer and fall. Restoring and showing off vintage travel trailers has become almost as popular as hot rod shows over the last decade, and the changing face of “RVing” has become increasingly younger, as the lure of the open road and being able to bring one’s own
accommodations has risen in popularity. The Vintage Airstream Trailer Rally kicks things off Thursday to Saturday, July 11 to 13. Airstream is the leader of restored trailers, and this rally will be full of amazing restorations and mint trailers from around the country. While all of the spaces for trailers are filled for this rally, the public is welcome to come and enjoy these lovingly maintained and restored gems. Live music will be provided 8 p.m. Saturday, July 13 by the high-energy rhythm and blues band The Resolectrics. The first-ever All Spartan Rally will be held July 26, 27 and 28. More events include the Rolling Oldies Rally held Aug. 9 to 11, which brings together a
variety of vintage trailer fans and fanatics for a weekend of fun, plastic flamingos and incredible trailers. This event is full, but visitors are welcome to come by and wander the grounds. Luckily, space is still available during the national Tin Can Tourists “Camping Weekend” Sept. 27 and 28, featuring a potluck, an open house and a campfire. Sign up to be part of the fun. Come to the Sou’wester with your own vintage trailer, or rent one of theirs anytime all year round to experience the fun, the whimsy and the history of vintage travel trailers.

5 to 8 p.m.
ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, July 13. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits. Walk around historic downtown Astoria and look for the colorful pinwheels.
ART BUSINESSES Fernhill Glass Studio 1450 Exchange St. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery will feature a collection of Hormandie Hand’s monotypes in a collection focused on “The Quality of Water.” Hand’s monotypes represent the water around us (shorelines) and within the human body. The printmaking process she has developed creates organic forms that seem to glow from within and shift on and off the paper. Her love of the sand and sea, mist and rain and the human form is evident. Stop by Tempo Gallery, a collective of 11 artists, during art walk between to see Hand’s monotypes as well as works by other gallery members. Daric Moore will play guitar music from 5 to 6:30 p.m., and refreshments will be served. Old Town Framing Company 1287 Commericial St. This month Old Town Framing presents Jeri Slevin, who is at one with a garden shear or a prismacolor pencil. Making art brings her joy. Her imagery ranges from monochromatic portraits to the simplest of singular happiness: the peach. She uses varied mediums but prefers paint and colored pencils – although her show will include some of her 3D work. Slevin’s work has been in galleries in Bend and Seattle, but this is her first show in Astoria. “I know painting is a room into which we step; a garden is a home, entire. And bread is a loaf or an alligator or something not yet imagined,” Slevin says. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial Street In “Painting the Wild,” renowned Port-
land artist Sidonie Caron exhibits abstracted landscapes that sweep the viewer into immense vistas alive with color. These energetic depictions of land, sea and sky embody the spirit of Oregon’s wild spaces. This month’s Artist in the Alcove is Carol Basch of Portland, whose exuberant abstracts are a celebration of life in color, form and line. Though many of her paintings have their start in old family photographs, the artist freely creates her own reality in these vibrant compositions. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Palimpsest is by definition a word used to describe the under markings of a manuscript, marks that have been erased and worked over. For artist Helga Winter, these under markings are a source of fascination and tell a story of origin, acting as a record of change or evolution. Winter includes in this series her elegant lathe turned madrone vessels as well as mixed-media paintings on panel. Light bites and drink will be provided by Astoria Coffeehouse and Bistro. “Palimpsest” will be on view through Aug. 6. For further information call 503-468-0620. KALA Gallery 1017 Marine Drive Opening at KALA for the Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 9 p.m. will be Los Angeles artist Cicely Gilman. Cicely has been painting and creating fine art since graduating with a degree in fashion and textile design from St. Martin’s College of Art in London. She was a colorist for Textile Converters in New York City, and then moved to Los Angeles in the early 1980s, where she established “Cicely,” a silk painting company. She has painted silks for boutiques and major museum gift shops, such as the
High Museum, Whitney, and LACMA. Recently she has been creating work using Indian sugar for a collected series of kaleidoscope Images.
ALSO FEATURING ORIGINAL ART In the Boudoir 1004 Commercial St. A new business to Astoria, “In the Boudoir” envelopes all the senses with fine linens, lotions with a luxurious visual atmosphere. A collaboration between Andrew E. Cier and LaRee Johnson, “Lady with a Past,” offers a romantic look at the details of feminine fashion. Each “Lady,” rendered in sepia tone, reflects the period as if she has stepped out of time. The wild and wonderful world of Marga Stanley leaps off the walls into your eyeballs. Stanley uses bright colors, intricate details and emotional drama to entice you to look for more. Water color imagery by local artist P. Davis evoke nature, peace and wonder. Forsythea 260 10th St. New home and garden shop Forsythea is proud to participate in the July art walk with a selection of monoprints by artist Miki’ala Souza, who is originally from Honolulu, Hawaii, but now resides in Astoria. The show is entitled “Memory and Place.” Foxgloves 1124 Commercial St. Amanda Drozdowski founder of Krocie (Polish for “treasures”) will be on-hand with her one-of-a-kind jewelry. All jewelry is hand-crafted by Drozdowski using recycled materials whenever possible. Musician Adam Nye from Savannah, Ga., will perform acoustic covers
by Bob Dylan Van Morrison, Steely Dan and many more from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Obtainium Studio 175 14th Street Pilot Station “Wood and Rope” offers a multimedia look at a day of work for a Columbia River pilot. Jeff Daly offers photography, paintings and mixed-media. Arvid Wuonola offers painted signs and water colors from the 1960s. Arvi Ostrom offers crayon, ink, charcoal and watercolors from 1930 to 1990. Cartoonist Hal Allen offers 1973 satire and humor. Photos are displayed on a 100-foot ladder from a 1941 Liberty Ship. 1940 movie poster panels from the Liberty Theater display original paintings.

ASTORIA — KALA presents Daric Moore in concert 9 p.m. Friday, July 12. Singer/songwriter Moore is new to the Astoria music scene but not new to music. Starting with drums when he was 15, adding guitar at 16 and learning to sing with his band of 10 years through high school and college, he calls music his first passion. In order to record some of his first originals when band mates left town, he learned the piano and bass guitar to round out a good rock ‘n’ roll sound. He’s played solo acoustic guitar and sung most of the time since the mid 1990s but mainly just for friends or performing at local pubs. A leap into the world of

carpentry/remodeling took most of his time, pushing music into the background. But it found its rightful place at the top again recently when he began writing new material with a fever. Having lived in Astoria for five years, Moore is finally easing into its cultural scene. “There’s a lot of music in this town, and it’s very diverse, which I love,” he says. “For a
place this size it has an unusual concentration of talented musicians. I’m happy to be adding a voice to that pool.” Moore’s music is folk rock on guitar and voice with a lively tempo and emotional tone. He’ll play mostly original work but add a few covers just for fun.
“The space at KALA is perfect for my music: intimate and relaxed with a great sound where you can enjoy a drink with friends and soak up some tunes. I’m excited to play there and contribute to Astoria’s blossoming music scene,” Moore says. Doors open at 8 p.m. Beverages and light fare will be available. There is a cover charge of $5. KALA is located at 1017 Marine Drive in Astoria. For more information, call 503-3384878.
Tilted Art and Gifts Two friends show abstract art SEASIDE — International artist and poet Nho Nguyen and his friend, Oregon artist James Hochspeier, are teaming up for an art show titled “Two Friends.” Years in the planning, these two artists take up an excellent opportunity to showcase their latest work at Tilted Art and Gifts. Nguyen began his career in his homeland, Vietnam. After enduring years of political suppression and imprisonment, he decided to bring his wife and daughter to the United States 17 years ago to begin a new life. The two artists met on the first day of a college drawing class and have been friends since. Nguyen’s paintings have been published in several juried art books. The Oregonian featured Nguyen in two human interest articles. Nguyen’s style in this show emphasizes the abstract and impressionism. Expressionistic, abstract and surreal qualities will

be front and center in Hochspeier’s paintings. The two artists used oil, acrylic or a combination of the two mediums in the show. The artist reception will be 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 13 with live demonstrations and refreshments at Tilted Art and Gifts, 417 S. Holladay Drive in Seaside. Call 503-440-8487 for more information.

Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy comes to Cannon Beach
“The Importance of Being Earnest” by Oscar Wilde is subtitled “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People” – an apt statement of the play’s intention. First performed on Feb. 14, 1895 at St. James’ Theatre in London, it is a comedic farce in which the main characters take on fictitious names and whole personalities in order to escape tiresome social obligations. One character, Algernon, invents an imaginary person named Bunbury as an alibi to escape from relatives. He explains to his friend, “I have invented an invaluable permanent invalid called Bunbury, in order that I may be able to go down into the country whenever I choose. Bunbury is perfectly invaluable. If it wasn’t for Bunbury’s extraordinary bad health, for instance, I wouldn’t be able to dine with you at Willis’s to-night.” As might be imagined, this fiction and others often find the perpetrators in hot water. The story itself doesn’t turn on mistaken identity exactly; rather, two young women are courted by two young men, who may or may not be who they say they are. Both of these silly girls find it very important to marry a man named “Ernest” for reasons undetermined. Social conventions and the rigid British class system are commented upon with obvious merriment. The funny script, filled with the witty lines Wilde was famous for, will keep the audience amused. It was well reviewed in London, but some critics said that it didn’t address social issues seriously. Indeed, it did not, nor did Wilde intend that it should. He was well aware of the hypocrisies of Victorian England and believed that satire and comedy addressed them well. Although the play had a successful opening night, it was a mixed bag for Wilde and the beginning of his downfall. The Marquess of Queensberry, father of Lord Alfred Douglas, an intimate friend of Wilde, was determined to discredit him. Wilde avoided the marquess that night, but about a month later Wilde was arrested for gross indecency, homosexuality being a serious criminal offense in England at the time. Wilde’s double life was revealed to the Victorian public, causing the
show to close prematurely, and he was eventually sentenced to imprisonment. Why has Coaster Theatre chosen to present this play? Darren Hull, a Coaster Theatre actor and chairman of the program committee, has this to say: “Every year the program committee looks at several plays and considers them for their appropriateness for our audience, for our ability to cast them from our pool of players, and for the complexity of set design. We strive to balance the season by providing something funny, a musical or two, a mystery, an edgy drama – a little something for every taste. We chose this play because it is a classic for the stage with good name recognition and great audience appeal. It is frequently performed by non-professionals, and our actors are more than equal to the task.” Darren was certainly right about all of the above. Dmitri Swain has conceived of a set that is
‘We chose this play because it is a classic for the stage.’ an elegant drawing room in the first act, a garden in the second act and finally, a different drawing room at the end. Gold shutters provide the background, with colorful fabric on the tables, period furniture, a silver tea service, floral bouquets and table arrangements – and, of course, cucumber sandwiches. The set and props portray Edwardian England among the upper classses. The director of the show, Patrick Lathrop, who is also Coaster Theatre’s new executive director, has moved the time frame of the play forward slightly but significantly. Instead of 1895, when it was originally produced, he moved it forward to 1910, after Queen Victoria’s death and at the beginning of the Edwardian period. This enabled him to take advantage of the fashions of the new period, which
The cast of the Coaster Theatre's production of "The Importance of Being Earnest," including from left, Sue Meyers as Lady Bracknell, Jenni Tronier as Gwendolen Fairfax, Karen Martin as Miss Prism, David Sweeney as Rev. Chasuble, Richard Bowman as Algernon Moncrieff, and Cameron Lira as Cecily Cardew, gathers around for tea. (Look for more cast photos online at wwwcoastweekend.com)
were less conservative than the severe bustles of the Victorians. Cecily and Gwendolyn are both costumed in Edwardian lines, Lady Bracknell in 1880s attire, and Miss Prism is dressed very conservatively, reflecting the 1830s. Watching a rehearsal two full weeks before the show opens, it was interesting to see the actors and the director working together to make the necessary changes that keep the movement on stage look so effortless. It is a study in choreography. The excellent cast, from Astoria, Cannon Beach, Seaside and Manzanita, manages to stay in character as uptown Brits and do it with English accents – no small feat, as anyone who has tried it knows. The play will be part of the Summer Duet, opening Friday, July 12 and closing Sept. 1. The other play in repertory this summer is the comedy “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum,” which is filled with music by Stephen Sondheim and features a fine cast. It will take you back to Ancient Rome and the farces of Plautus. The two plays together are sure to be a smashing success at the Coaster Theatre.

Summer is garden tour time! Six tours throughout the summer, with gardens of every kind, and inspiration enough for every gardener Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL
O
Our winters our wet and cool, the springs also. Then we get a month or two of delightful, almost rain-free weather, which we call “summer.” Sometime in June, plants get the word that summer is near, and gardens go crazy – and garden tours flourish like the foxgloves that magically volunteer in vegetable beds. This year there are six garden tours from Long Beach to Cannon Beach, and each one is distinctive. Lower Columbia Preservation Society Garden Tour, Astoria 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 13 $15, $10 for members • Purchase tickets the day of the tour at 17th Street and Grand Avenue 503-325-8024 • www.lcpsweb.org The grandmother of all local garden tours is the one sponsored by the Lower Columbia Preservation Society. This year’s tour marks LCPS’s 13th year, and the selfguided tour of six gardens takes place in the middle of the day this Saturday, concluding with a reception and raffle.

Gardening in the Northwest can be a Darwinian affair: You plant, and what thrives you keep; what doesn’t departs the local gene pool. John and Jan Nybakke have followed this process in a garden that, Jan says, “reached its fullness this year.” Consequently, their garden is on this year’s LCPS tour. She adds, “There’s a spoke in the wheel of gardening that is very worrying to me, that we have to be aware of climate change. In the 10 years we have lived here it seems the storms have become more severe.” In particular, the Nybakkes lost many trees during the December 2007 storm, and the trees have been replaced with pools and terraces of color. “It’s a teaching garden,” Jan Nybakke says. “There’s something happening all the time if you are in tune with the patterns of the garden.” The garden of Kent Easom and LJ Gunderson also evolved. “There was no master plan,” Easom explains. First there was a liner for a pond where large koi now swim, then a waterfall to feed the pond, and an upper patio with fireplaces. “It’s eclectic,” he says. Like many, local gardener Celia Tippit does all the work on her garden herself. What is remarkable, however, is how beautiful and perfectly maintained her large garden is. When she moved into her house 10 years ago, there was a hill full of giant rhododendrons and not much more. “I just filled

in,” she says, with a backyard full of shade-loving plants, including a collection of exotic ferns, and a front yard full of deer-resistant plants: herbs, salvia, lavender, Russian sage and dahlias. There are three other gardens on the tour. There’s not much driving required (but carpool if possible, Astoria parking being what it is), and plan to spend several hours enjoying the outdoors.
Music in the Gardens, Long Beach Peninsula 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 20 $15 • Purchase tickets at the English Nursery (Seaview), Adelaide’s (Ocean Park) or Peninsula Landscape Supply (Long Beach) watermusicfestival.com/music-in-the-gardens-tour Plan also to spend half a day the next Saturday at the special self-guided garden tour Music in the Gardens in Long Beach, Wash. Music in the Gardens is a fundraiser for the Water Music Festival Society, a nonprofit organization that provides the Long Beach Peninsula’s Water Music Festival every October. This year, there will be eight coastal gardens, including what may be the most colorful garden on any tour this year: the cottage garden that surrounds the 1896 home of Jo and Bob Fitzsimmons in a ring of outdoor rooms. Another garden not to be missed on this tour is the small, exquisite garden of Long Beach city administrator Gene Miles, a memorial to his wife Peggy. There will be live music by local musicians in every garden as well as food and drink (one garden will be catered, and there is talk of sushi), and the gardeners will be on hand to talk about

their landscape challenges and successes.
Gardens by the Sea, Gearhart 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 27 $25 • Purchase tickets on the day of the tour at Trails End Art Gallery (Gearhart) or in advance at Natural Nook (Gearhart), RiverSea Gallery (Astoria), Beach Books (Seaside) or at Cannon Beach Books • 503-338-6063 • www.clatsop-casa.org The sixth annual Clatsop CASA garden tour, Gardens by the Sea, in Gearhart is the most lowkey (but that’s not to say laid back) garden tour of the summer. The self-guided five-garden tour begins at Trails End Art Association, 656 A St., which will sell tickets and serve cookies and lemonade treats for tour attendees. The first garden you’re likely to encounter is that of Karen and Larry Smith, just one block from Trails End. The vine-covered entry to this cottage and the welcoming borders and containers say “English cottage garden” as well as any garden on display this summer. Follow the lawn around the house, and find more garden in the back along with a beautiful greenhouse to explore – a feature every coastal garden should have. Other gardens will include a flowing garden walled in green with a beautiful drainage solution, an inspirational border design and a garden that displays the light of proper placement. Proceeds from the tour will go toward Clatsop Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), which provides trained volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in foster care and in court.

SSDA Garden Tour and Breakfast, Seaside Sunday, July 28 8 a.m. breakfast is $5 • Free guided tour begins at 9 a.m. • Meet at Holiday Inn Express, 34 N. Holladay Drive RSVP 503-717-1914 • www.seasidedowntown.com The next day, Sunday, July 28, there is a truly unusual garden tour next door in Seaside. It doesn’t focus on private gardens, but on the many small – but very special – public garden spaces in Seaside. Most people take these for granted, but next time you’re in Seaside, look around as you walk from place to place; you’ll see urban pockets filled with lush greenery and bright flowers, where you can sit on a bench and enjoy bucolic relaxation in the middle of town. Or take the annual guided Seaside Downtown Garden Tour and Breakfast sponsored by the Seaside Downtown Development Association. The tour is led by Pam Fleming, who has served as Seaside’s downtown gardener for the past 18 years. “The gardens are what they are,” says Fleming, “because of 18 years of trial and error. All the plants do well on the coast, but each garden has its own set of conditions.” Each garden has its own theme as well. It might relate to the colors of the business next to the garden, or a garden near a restaurant might give prominence to herbs. “The businesses are reflected in the landscape,” Fleming says. Bring a notebook, because you’ll learn a lot to use in your own garden, beginning with the 8 a.m. breakfast at Holiday Inn Express, which includes a preview slideshow and door prize drawing. The breakfast is $5, and the walking tour is free. If you’re only interested in the tour, meet outside the Holiday Inn at 9 a.m.

The Edible Garden Tour, Long Beach, Wash. Noon to 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 11 $7 or five cans of food admission • Tickets on sale in early August at English Garden Nursery (Seaview), Planter Box Nursery (Long Beach), and Jimella’s (Klipsan) • www.longbeachgrange.com Tired of just looking at gardens? How about a garden you can eat? The self-guided Long Beach Edible Garden Tour takes place in midAugust, so you have time to plan for this one. There are eight gardens on the tour, most of them large and thriving operations – but there are several smaller gardens as well, which you’ll find encouraging and informative if you’re planning an edible garden in the backyard. One of the gardens on the tour is that of Jim and Vera Karnofski. Jim has been a gardener for more than 30 years and has been doing mineral balancing for the last two years. “I have the best of science and the best of antiquity,” he says, “without all the harmful modern agrochemicals.” Ask him how he does it, and Karnofski will describe in detail how he “promotes a living soil” through adjusting its electrolyte balance. (You don’t have to be on the tour for the presentation. Visit the farm, and Karnofski will fill you in and send you off with an organic vegetable or two. (To find the farm, head north on U.S. Highway 101 toward Ilwaco, Wash. The farm is on the right at the end of a guardrail at milepost 10.) Tour organizer Lisa Mattfield explains that all the gardens “have an edible aspect (fruits, veggies, herbs or small animals),” and that the main purposes of the tour “are fun, sharing information and encouragement about growing food, and raising a little money for the food banks.”

The Mouth finds tasty pastries, sandwiches and city-like hours
After graduating from college, I spent a few years living and working as a writer in the Portland area. Although the decision to move back to the coast, my original home, was one I made without reservation, there are some things I miss about Portland – Whole Foods, Pioneer Square, concerts at the Rose Garden – but weirdly, the thing I miss most of all is just the accessibility of a big city. Places are open and stay open. Seven days a week, seemingly any time you want to walk through the door. Many businesses here on the coast are family run or employ only a handful of people, so keeping the doors open all the time would be prohibitive. I can understand this measure, but still, sometimes it’s very disappointing to pull up to your favorite shop or restaurant and find that they’re closed on Wednesdays. What if, say, I want a maple bar at 6:45 p.m. on a Sunday night, or a deli sandwich before I dig for clams at 4:30 a.m.? Enter the Cottage Bakery & Delicatessen in Long Beach, Wash., open from 4 a.m. until 7 p.m. every day except Christmas and Thanksgiving – a place where the donuts are as warm as the service, and the sandwiches are as reliable as the hours. I’m sorry, Voodoo Donuts … you’ve got nothin’ on them. If you visit the Cottage Bakery on a weekend in the summer time, expect it to be packed with tourists “oohing” and “aahing” over the seemingly mile-long donut case. Likewise, if you visit on a weekday during the off-season, you will likely find plenty of locals who are “regulars.” I visited the Cottage Bakery on a recent Sunday afternoon for lunch. In true deli style, you stand in line to wait to order your lunch, which is hand-crafted before your very eyes. You pay at the
end of the counter, and carry your own tray to a table. The breakfast and lunch choices are numerous, including biscuits and gravy, clam chowder and a soup that changes daily, and a lengthy list of deli meats, cheeses and breads that tasty sandwiches can be prepared from. I began with clam chowder in an enormous bread bowl. The bread bowls at Cottage Bakery are not just a culinary spectacle; they are soft, flavorful and the perfect accompaniment to clam chowder. The chowder itself was a bit blander than other versions I have sampled, but I appreciate that Cottage Bakery’s chowder is thick and hearty, with the sweet addition of corn kernels, which is both unusual and toothsome. I am always a sucker for the combination of turkey and cranberry sauce, and the turkey gobbler sandwich with lettuce, tomato and cream cheese does not disappoint. I opted to have mine on a

sesame bagel and with a side of broccoli salad; a perfect lunch, just the right amount of food. The Portuguese herb bread is one of my favorites at Cottage Bakery and can be purchased by the loaf along with several others. A dining companion enjoyed thinly sliced Pastrami with red onions on Portuguese herb, and it was indeed one of the tastiest sandwiches I can recall eating in a long while. Finally, a kielbasa sausage on a bun rounded out the meal. Easily a quarter of a pound or more, the sweetly spicy sausage was delectable, and it was more than could be eaten in one sitting. Of course I could not leave the bakery without a selection of doughnuts to take home. The friendly woman behind the counter tells me that the doughnuts that seem most popular with locals

and tourists alike are the maple bars, devil dogs (a giant, chocolate-covered doughnut with crème filling), and florentinas (a crispy, crepe-like doughnut with whipped cream in the middle). Personally, in addition to the aforementioned maple bars, I loved the raspberry schnitten (airy, shortbread-like cake with raspberries), the apricot stars, and the peanut butter muffins. There is also a large selection of day-old doughnuts sold by the bag, plus an entire case of pies and cakes. In a big city like Portland, it seems restaurants and bakeries are continually trying to push the limits of flavor with new and unusual combinations (maple bacon donuts? Basil lemon cookies?), sometimes successfully, sometimes not. There is something to be said for a bakery that makes classic pastries and makes them well. A bakery that doesn’t skimp on quality or quantity and that lovingly prepares its pastries fresh every day – a place where tradition, taste and a friendly smile are still the order of the day. I wholeheartedly encourage you to visit the Cottage Bakery. But if you get in line behind me, I can’t guarantee there will be any maple bars left.

Three alternative photographers show work in new exhibits
Join S.L. Stoner for Lunch in the Loft
ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will open its summer showcase exhibits with an artists’ reception 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, July 13. LightBox has invited three alternative photographic artists to exhibit their work. Each series of work is being shown for the first time in a gallery setting. Bill Vaccaro from Chicago, Michael Kirchoff from Los Angeles and Erin Malone from San Francisco will all be at the gallery for the artists’ reception. Bill Vaccaro will show a body of work titled “The Things She Left Behind.” This series honors the memory of his late wife, who passed away in 1995, and is for his son who was 2 1/2 years old at the time. How does one visually depict those fragments of memory that remain when someone so young loses a
SEASIDE — Beach Books is proud to welcome Portland author Susan Stoner, who writes as S.L. Stoner, for Lunch in the Loft noon Friday, July 12. Stoner is the author of the Sage Adair Historical Mystery series, which is set in early 1900s Portland. Her third novel of the series, “Dry Rot,” was just released. The first book in the series, “Timber Beasts,” was named Winner of the 2010 Indie Book Award for Mystery Fiction by the Independent Book Publishing Professionals Group. The second book in the series, “Land Sharks,” was a finalist of the 2011 Indie Book Award. Stoner is a native Oregonian who works full time as a labor union lawyer. Like that of her series hero, Sage Adair, Stoner’s life has tended toward the adventurous. Her past work experience includes bars, Las Vegas casinos, free clinics and as a prisoners’ advocate and a federal judge’s intern. She is involved in local citizen activism, and she is pas-
parent and all that’s left are her treasured possessions? Vaccaro chose to combine the wet plate collodion process with the alternative print process of Ziatype to show what it might be like to see through the eyes of a child struggling to recall a significant part of his past that’s been clouded by the relentlessness of time. This poignant cataloging of her precious possessions will hit home with all viewers. Michael Kirchoff will exhibit “Fractured View.” This compilation of works from frequent travels has his signature style of using physically manipulated Polaroid positive/negative materials coupled with a personal vision of the world. Much of his work deals with architecture and landscape – but not in its truest form. Kirchoff creates images that he wishes to be

timeless in their interpretation. The idea of obscuring much of the image through shadow and process brings an air of mystery that drives viewers to investigate further on their own. Erin Malone will open “The Park.” In a series examining city parks, Erin says, “We set out to fool ourselves that we are in the country – that we are experiencing an ‘untamed wilderness.’ Yet around the corner, just over the rise, lie hints of the outside world, concrete, highways, cars,

steel and glass buildings. Inside the urban environs, we can’t get away from the hand of man. There is always evidence of the human hand, whether people through the trees, structures intended to tame and make the landscape safe or even marring by graffiti and destruction.” All images are photographed with a vintage Rolleiflex on B&W film, and printed in an edition of five in hand applied Palladium. The exhibit runs from July 13 to Aug. 6. Visit http:// lightbox- photographic. com/ shows for complete details. LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive in Astoria.

The restaurant will host an art reception where you can meet the artist 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, July 11. The show runs through Oct. 9. Having studied graphic design and typography, Read uses her knowledge of calligraphy and printmaking to portray a dynamic visual playground of storytelling. “I feel the overwhelming weight of 10,000 things from which to choose as subjects for 16 | July 11, 2013 | coastweekend.com

word and meaning for the number 10,000 – from ancient Greece comes the word ‘myriad’; in Chinese it signifies the indefinite multiplicity of the material world.” It is this creative perspective, combined with calligraphy and printmaking, that gives this collection of work life. Through the
use of vibrant colors and graphically styled design, juxtaposed with elements of muted tones and subtlety, the viewer is presented a window of new perspective of life’s everyday elements.

other bird groups do; easily seen (but tough to identify), they push our primal poetic buttons. Simply stated, hawks have charisma. In this popular talk, we will examine the natural history of diurnal raptors – what makes a hawk a hawk, anyhow? This is not an identifying class

Marco Davis, an Astoria native, is a dancer, choreographer, singer, teacher and performance artist. Look for his latest creative output July 27 at the Columbian Theater in Astoria.
Five Minutes With... MARCO DAVIS
Born and raised: I was born (1969) and raised in Astoria, class of 1987. Lives now: I live in Astoria now. You’ve choreographed several community theater productions, most recently “Hitchin’” at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center and “A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum” at the Coaster Theatre. How did you get involved in choreography and what do you enjoy about it? I first got involved with choreography back in the early 1980s doing numbers with neighborhood kids in the backyard. I assisted Vicki Durst with shows in the late ’80s and ’90s and began teaching then as well. I returned to school in 2001 to get my Master of Fine Arts in dance from the Univer-
sity of Oregon, graduating in 2007. I love choreographing for musical theater and am working on creating my own company of performers for some side projects I am developing. You’ve designed four drag spectaculars in the past three years, most recently “Dragalution!” at the Columbian Theater at the end of January. I hear you’re working on another one. Care to share? I am working on another “Dragalution!” The show will be Aug. 9 at the Columbian Theater. It is the same show I did in January with re-worked numbers and a few new ones as well. The girls and I will also be performing at the Columbian Theater Movie Projector Fundraiser Saturday, July 27; it will be a ’60s cocktail party with appetizers.
tickets to concerts and an invitation to a post-concert picnic with Gliadkovsky at a local home. For tickets or sponsorship information call 503-842-2078 or email tillamookcountyartsnetwork@gmail.com. For more information visit www.tillamook countyarts.org How else are you involved in the local art scene? Most days, I feel how I present myself in public is a form of my artistic expression. I try to take chances and make myself uncomfortable. I teach dance at the Astoria Arts and Movement Center: jazz and tap. I am always working on choreography and expanding my character – a blog is coming soon. I am also a chef, and I find my food to be a large part of my artistic expression. How do you see the arts changing in our region? Having grown up here, I am so excited to see how much this amazing town has grown. I am amazed every day! There is so much music, fiber arts, painting and personal style seeping into the glorious canvas of this community. I appreciate seeing the variety in ages and styles of artists living here. It inspires me daily. What do you like about living on the North Coast? This is the most beautiful and supportive place I have ever lived. The river takes my breath away daily, the wind always keeps me on my toes, and when the sun is out it makes it that much more gorgeous and the people that much more smiley. A sunny summer day would find you: On a sunny day, I will start off with a roller skate or bike ride to Coffee Girl for a caramel mocha frappaccino, lay in the sun, have a dance party (generally alone, or if some friends are over they join in, too), and take it easy. I like to spread joy, it is one thing I am good at – and when the sun is out, I can’t help myself. I have to get out there and strut it out!
