ONLY LET ME PAINT ALWAYS...... By Meghann Sprague I have found the bones, let me call flesh to them. I layed the lines, now allow the layers. I discovered courage in my digging, unearthed ideas I didn’t dare execute before. Did you know the walls you lent weep with winesome like a willow would? They call me to create. They see that which brews beneath my skin begging bleed. “Breach the borders you are bound by” they say. The series has evolved from the babe it was born as. The small surface I scaled is insufficient. I will stretch canvas as far as each controlled corner will allow to tell her story. Friends allow me to forge forward. Community come be the shoulders, the eyes and the hearts. An artist in isolation will not do. I long to lay landscapes for the figures to find. To call them husbands of sheep, oxen and its kind. A great scale where her form can lay, where the beast, bee and bird are a symbolic display. Don’t you feel the pull? Can you hear the groan? How the lines and hills howl “hallelujah” so she not be alone. The feral finds refuge against this cotton terrain. Only allow me to call her ... allow her a name.

Astoria artist Meghann Sprague explores the human form on canvas By DWIGHT CASWELL

Meghann Sprague has been drawing since she was a little girl. “It began with Christmas trees and lights,” she says. “Even in June I would sit down and paint a merry living room scene decked with holiday cheer.” Eventually that childhood

pursuit became a desire to become a full-time artist. Along the way painting became an outlet when she was a stay-at-home mom. Her skill grew, and that outlet led eventually to a temporary studio in Astoria Visual Arts’ artist-in-residency program; Sprague’s residency ran from April through June.

“Today I still love Christmas,” Sprague says, “but my subject matter has become about the human ¿gure rather than a little girl’s hope for sparkly gifts under the tree.” The tones of her paintings are muted, and her draftsmanship is exquisite; the lush fabrics and sure hand of the artist are reminiscent of John Singer Sargent. This from a young artist who has virtually no formal training: “a couple of weeks of ¿gure drawing,” she says, “and one recent drawing class at Clatsop (Community College).” She has taught herself, simply by drawing: “Practice is important. I learn more and I see more; it helps me grow.” Enter Sprague’s studio, and you see drawings of all sizes sketched directly on the canvas, ready for paint, without the use of aids like grids or projectors.

“The Keeper,” a preliminary sketch for a painting, by Meghann Sprague.

Continued from pg. 4 drawings are mostly large, even full-scale, and portray women, sometimes nude but more often in lavish clothing that Sprague has designed herself. One corner of the room is full of photographs of paintings and models, and another corner has photographs of her children “in their moment,” as Sprague says, wearing clothes she designed and made for them. Sprague sometimes works from live models but ¿nds that scheduling can be dif¿cult so she works more often from photographs, often ones she takes herself. She discovered a love of photography by taking pictures of her children, and it has become essential to her work. She says, “I love to design clothing and I love photography. It’s a good marriage. I can control all the steps when I make a painting.” Virtually all of Sprague’s work to date has been ¿gurative, but she has big plans — literally big plans. “I’d like to have a big studio, so I can work on 15- or 20-foot paintings.” Why the desire for greater size? “What I like is people, landscape and light. I love to control light. I want to tell a story, the scenes, the lighting, the people.” The light, line and form in Sprague’s paintings are, she says, “all shadows

of things that we encounter in peoples’ stories and in the way life looks.” Sprague says there are four large pieces she wants to do now. All are paintings that tell a story. “They illustrate things I’ve gone through in my life,” she says. ”They are mapped out. I’m just looking for a place to do it.” Sprague’s time spent in her AVA studio space “has been a great place to think about my work.” She ponders her future paintings, thinking about, “fog, or sunlit fields, symbolism.” It is like writing a book that she will illustrate. Indeed, she writes as she thinks. Poems, stories, free writing as the images and stories coalesce. She is building paintings in her mind: “I want to add details, landscape, animals. I want people feel like they’re stepping into the stories.” Meghann Sprague hasn’t yet achieved her dream. “I’m not a full-time artist living the dream,” she says, “but a mother, wife and waitress who pushes painting into any crevice I can find in this fabric of time.” Looking at her art, and her dedication to that art, it does seem only a matter of time before that dream becomes reality.

ASTORIA — Fort George Brewery will host two established Portland musicians in concert at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 24. Robert Wynia and Skip vonKuske will join forces for an evening of acoustic music in the upstairs pub. This show is all ages, and admission is free. Wynia is a founding member of Floater, a critically acclaimed and nationally known rock band known for its progressive concept albums, stylized storytelling, and intense live performances and fans. The band was founded in 1993 in Eugene before relocating to Portland in 1998. Floater has recorded eight albums and was voted Best Band in Wilamette Week’s Best of Portland poll in 2009 and 2010. Wynia focuses on acoustic and electric rock-pop psychedelia and spoken word. His solo 2011 album “Iron By Water” is a fusion of alt-country, pop, blues and rock.

VonKuske is perhaps best known as a master collaborator for his work with groups such as Vagabond Opera and the Portland Cello Project, but he is also many other things, including a composer, an innovator, an improviser, and producer. VonKuske began playing cello at the age of 8 and has studied with renowned cellists William Stokking of the Philadelphia Orchestra and Lorne Munro of the New York Philharmonic. He attended the Performing Arts School of Philadelphia and also studied at Michigan State University. He also plays bass, guitar and mandolin. When he moved to Portland in 1994, his skills as an improviser and singer/songwriter set him apart. His cello has provided vital, though often subtle texture, to hundreds of recordings including M. Ward’s “Post War” and Pink Martini’s “Sympathique.” He has worked with the Oregon Symphony and performed with Smokey Robinson, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Judy Collins, Crystal Gayle and many others.

Karin Temple releases sixth volume of poetry ASTORIA — Astoria poet Karin Temple will release her sixth collection of poems in a reading and book signing on Sunday, July 24 at Grace Episcopal Church, located at 1545 Franklin Ave. The reading will begin at 3 p.m. in the church sanctuary with a reception to follow. “Chalice of Tears” is Temple’s latest book of poetry published by Radiolarian Press. The collection is written in two parts. The ¿rst part, called “The Petri¿ed Angel,” looks to

the past, Temple’s own past as a “child of war” in 1940s Germany, and the cultural history of that era, lamenting the wars of the world. In the second part, “The Holiness of Broken Things,” she attempts to reconcile past darkness with beauty in a series of poems inspired by the sculptures of local artist Charles Schweigert. Photos of the sculptures are included in the book alongside the poems written in response to them. The actual sculptures will be on display in the church

Yates, who performs under the moniker Shirley88, performs jazz, classic American song book, and artists like Aretha Franklin, Adele, Etta James and Norah Jones. This benefit is close to Yates and her family, since her father suffered from Alzheimer’s. If you have an item you would like to donate for the auction or want more information, contact Helen Pringle at 503-338-9878 or 541-265-5356 or call the office for Avamere at Seaside at 503-738-0900. Avamere at Seaside is located at 2500 S. Roosevelt Drive. during the event. The majority of Schweigert’s pieces are reliquaries for housing the remains of things we hold dear, while others are imaginary containers for capturing emotions or sentiments that can’t be housed. They are lyrical interpretations of what has been lost and are ideal for translation into poetry. The event will include readings by Temple and by guest speakers along with songs related to the poems performed by Drew Herzig and Laurie Drage, accompanied by pianist Jennifer Goodenberger. A reception and book signing will follow the program.

See ‘The Famous Haydell Sisters’ at Merry Time Bar ASTORIA — Merry Time Bar & Grill will host a musical comedy performance at 9:30 p.m. Saturday, July 23. Come early for a good seat, and watch ³The )amous Haydell Sisters.´ ,n this music and comedy show, performers Sadie Bowman and Donna Kay Yarborough portray sisters Maybelle and Mattie Haydell, a pair of country music singers who shot into superstardom as young teens in 1988. )our of their albums were chart-toppers on the country music lists of the day. But their ¿fth album was an inexplicable artistic and commercial Àop, which sent the sisters, formerly on top of the world, into hiding, away from

the public eye since that ¿nal cringe-worthy release in 1993. Now, 20 years later, the sisters are older, wiser, and ready to once again lift their voices in harmony on a comeback tour. Bowman and Yarborough have created two Àawed yet likable characters who just want to make music. The songs in their ³concert´ performance are originals written with an adult theme. The songs talk about some of the issues the sisters have gone through over the past 20 years and are both hilarious and risque. Merry Time Bar & Grill is located at 995 Marine Drive. The show is for ages 21 and older only. There is no cover.

The

typewriter man

‘ONE OF THE BEST THINGS ABOUT TYPEWRITERS IS THE STORIES THEY TELL.’

An Astoria man embraces his mania for all things typewriters and their cultural history

By MATT LOVE

I bet most people don’t know that Astoria boasts one of the best typewriter museums in the country. It’s pretty exclusive, and I believe I’m the only visitor so far. The museum is the brainchild of Ray Montgomery, and it’s not really a museum open to the public. Rather, it’s a fantastic collection of 140 or so vintage, non-electric typewriters in his split-level home in the Peter Pan Park neighborhood of Astoria. Ray recently relocated to Astoria from New Jersey to live near his sister. He’s retired after a long career as an aerospace engineer who worked for defense contractors. Ray’s mania for collecting typewriters began two years ago when he saw a vintage typewriter on display at Powell’s Technical Bookstore in Portland. “I was hooked right there,” he said. From that moment on, Ray began acquiring typewriters from all over the country and has amassed an eclectic collection that features machines in different sizes, colors and designs. All of them are in good working order. The Remington Noiseless model from the 1940s is his favorite. Ray contacted me after reading an article of mine about my type-in event during the Fort George Brewery’s Festival of Dark Arts this past February. He invited me over to see his collection, and I agreed because I am a bit of collector myself. I intended to stay only a few minutes but remained for well over an hour, marveling at his machines and listening to him speak with such passion and knowledge about all thing typewriters and their cultural history.

He truly put on a great show! “One of the best things about typewriters,” Ray told me, “is the stories they tell and how so many people have fond memories of using them or hearing a parent or grandparent typing away in the next room.” During my visit, I got to try a popular Hermes 3000 model from the 1960s, exquisitely manufactured by the Swiss. After a few strokes of the keys, I could not believe how buttery smooth it was to type with the machine. The sound it made in operation was music to my ears. I didn’t want to stop! It made me want to Ày home, immediately buy a Hermes, and write letters, drafts of articles, and maybe start a novel on it. In recent years, typewriters have made something of a comeback, particularly with millennials. Typewriting enthusiasts from all over the country host type-in events in bookstores, cafes, libraries and bars where people reconnect to the old machines or try them out for the ¿rst time. “They will last forever,” said Ray, “and you can keep writing by candle if the power goes out!” Ray also forgot to mention another bene¿t to typewriters: no upgrades or viruses — ever. Just new ribbons from time to time. (Ray is looking for opportunities to make presentations about typewriters and display part of his collection in public places. Contact him at rhmontg0354@gmail.com for more information.) Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books, including “A Nice Piece of Astoria” and “The Great Birthright.” His books are available at coastal bookstores or his web site, nestuccaspitpress.com

Summer and music festivals go hand-and-hand, but how does one choose? Glastonbury? Too far. Lollapalooza? Too expensive. Woodstock? Over and done. Luckily, a new music festival is debuting on the North Coast in 2016. The ¿rst annual 0anzanita 0usic Festival — in partnership with North County Recreation District, Hoffman Center for the Arts, and Lostrom Company Real Estate — brings together some of the area’s best musical talent and kicks off at the conclusion of the 26th annual 0anzanita %each Walk and Run on Saturday, July 23. With multiple stages and nearly 20 bands, it promises to be one epically sonic weekend.

‘MAGNETIC QUALITY’

%eth Carter-%oyer and two 0anzanita friends — 0arci Russo and Dawn Lind — were looking to stage a music festival. With all their kids grown, they decided there was no time like the present. “We kind of said, ‘What are we waiting for? Let’s do this,’´ Carter-%oyer says. “We’re all music lovers, and we wanted to give something to the community.”

Jenny Don’t and the Spurs performs regularly at the San Dune Pub in Manzanita and will provide the festiva’s roots country sound.

Planning got underway last summer. While the intentions were pure, putting together any festival with multiple moving parts isn’t something that just happens with a snap of the ¿ngers. Luckily, each of the trio has local ties and a wealth of experience to bring to the table. Russo owned and operated the %ig Wave Cafe and the Garlic Company for many years, while Lind is a yoga instructor at NCRD

and Yoga Roots. Carter-%oyer was able to draw upon her experiences after college when she went to work for a small company that staged a large show combining music, fashion and art. “It was pretty overwhelming, and I just loved it,” she says. Her focus turned to the music side after working in a docent program for Seattle schools that brought artists into classrooms, something that gave students a different

perspective on music. Carter-%oyer is certain that festival goers will see that organizers have put an emphasis on being an educational, family-friendly event. “0usic goes towards emotional, physical and mental health,” she says. “It’s a great way for kids to ¿nd a way to express themselves.” There’s lots of North Coast expertise involved in ensuring the festival will be a professionally staged event. %ill Phillips of

Nehalem — who has worked with Portland Waterfront %lues Festival as ¿rst-tech stage production manager — is working in the same capacity for this festival, and Astoria’s Full Spectrum 0ultimedia is providing staging. As with any music festival, setting might be just as vital a performer as any of the bands. With the backdrop of the ocean and Neahkahnie 0ountain, Carter-%oyer feels that musicians and attendees —

young and old — will have no problem when it comes to artistic expression. “There’s just something really special about 0anzanita,” she says. “It’s got a real magnetic quality to it, and I love the way the light diffuses in the afternoons.”

Carter-Boyer promises no one will go home disappointed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got some amazing acts lined up,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This area is home to a plethora of incredible musicians, artists who are mentors.â&#x20AC;?

Carter-Boyer says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something they all want to do, not something theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing just for a paycheck.â&#x20AC;?

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;A REAL FESTIVALâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;

This isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just a few bands gathered together in a dusty parking lot or sidewalk with a single battered amp. Held on multiple stages throughout Manzanita, the layout encourages attendees to wander and take it all in, extending up and down Laneda Avenue. One stage will be set up at Third Street and Laneda, and a main stage will be at the Hoffman Gardens near the top of Laneda Avenue, next door to the North Tillamook Library. A third venue, located in the parking lot of Cascade Realty where the weekly farmers market is held, will be a non-music area featuring a massage booth, food vendors, regional wine and beer

LOOKING AHEAD

The close-knit community of Manzanita â&#x20AC;&#x201D; residents and merchants alike â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has embraced the festival and offered a variety of support, everything from sponsorships to property use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say enough how grateful we are for all the support, merchants, city council, everyone,â&#x20AC;? Carter-Boyer says. With that outpouring of support, she sees the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential as nearly limitless. She already envisions adding more days, venues and bands to future festivals. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the possibility of using the festival to celebrate other artistic endeavors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to integrate

more art into the festival,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to see sculpture outside, see more color, just some really visual things.â&#x20AC;?

Find fresh food at local farmers markets Story and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

Even if it were an option, I wouldn’t want to eat out every night of the week. Cooking is a holistic practice — grounding, calming and with in¿nite potential for growth. Admittedly, I’m am amateur at the very best. But from June through September, when I’m shopping at the many regional farmers markets, the outcomes of my culinary dabblings increase exponentially. That’s because our abundant, regional produce is simply world class. And when that’s the case you don’t need to do much — if any — coaxing. Good food speaks for itself. Of course, you needn’t cook to enjoy the markets. There’s a veritable quandary on offer from food carts and vendors. <ou’ll ¿nd bakeries, cheesemakers, distillers and more — start-ups and families alike, offering wonderful, local delights. As of late, though, my most profound eating pleasure has been the most elemental. Since the markets started last month I’ve been devouring box after box of berries. There’s no food I’ve eaten more of, yet still desire. (Seriously, I’m going to buy more tomorrow.) Strawberries, blueberries, marionberries, raspberries, blackberries, you name it — I can’t get enough of God’s perfect, fresh little supernovas. The digging, the supple squeeze, the pop and gush of juice. A tart one gives way to sweet, then back again, again and again. Effervescent moments of escape that reassure: Yes, life’s pleasures are indeed this simple to achieve. The recent rekindling of the love affair ¿gures: It’s seasonal, and I can’t buy berries at the grocery store. Forget that they come from God-knows-where, coursing with genetic modi¿cations to protect from a myriad of maladies (including, apparently, Àavor and freshness). Indeed, these bulbous grocery store berries, bloated, bland, mealy

and somehow never spoiling, might as well be a different species. The farmers market variation, though, are heavenly. I get most of mine from A & B Farms, whose presence is stalwart at multiple markets. And since there’s practically a market for every day of the week, you can keep the supply stocked — it’s important, because some berries only last a day or two. (Blueberries last the longest, then blackberries, strawberries, marionberries and raspberries.) Veggies, on the other hand, aren’t quite so Àeeting. Carrots, onions, beets and potatoes have more appeasing shelf lives. Greens go a little quicker but still ought to last the better part of a week. The farms offering good veggies are many, and they vary from market to market. At just about every stop — from Manzanita to Astoria — you’ll ¿nd the venerable .ing¿sher Farm. Based in 1ehalem, .ing¿sher is one of the longest-running farms on the 1orth Coast. .ing¿sher is known for its salad mixes, which can be found at numerous local restaurants, including Fort George, the Wayfarer and Blackbird, as well as Portland luminaries Higgins and Paley’s Place.

fers sushi, ramen bowls, and a few other odds and ends. I’m most fond of the sushi. Sushi begins with the rice, and Roll and Bowl’s is right on. Chef Brian has been doing sushi for over a decade and has studied under four master chefs. I was most fond of the understated, vegetarian Nehalem Valley Roll ($8). While I’m used to top notch, farm-fresh produce in other venues, sushi offered a new stage. The local greens, burdock root, avocado, carrots, snap peas, cucumber and sunchokes were exquisitely crisp and pure. “We’re looking to showcase all the great produce around here,” said Brian. “It’s not hard to do.” Roll and Bowl’s smoked salmon roll is more familiar, though the thin lemon slice makes it twinkle. I’m hopeful that the food cart will soon add raw ¿sh. With the fresh produce it could be something new and wonderful. As for the ramen, be sure to add the tender pork loin and consider the egg. Otherwise you might ¿nd the bowl a bit lonely. With the lovely presentation, real wasabi and fancy plates, Roll and Bowl is off to a splendid start. It’s not hard to envision the cart becoming a brickand-mortar place down the line. There are other great carts,

Younger but of comparable quality are R-evolution Gardens (grown in Nehalem and found at the Manzanita Farmers Market) and 46 North (grown south of Astoria and sold at Astoria’s River People Farmers Market on Thursdays). Each offers a smorgasbord of organic, nutrient-rich produce. I’ve written previously of Skamokawa Farmstead Creamery’s fantastic chevre, and I do so again. If you think you don’t like goat cheese, I beseech you: Try Skamokawa’s. When sampling, ask for the ³cheesecake.´ You’ll ¿nd Skamokawa at numerous markets. At a recent Manzanita market I came across cheesemakers new to the North Coast scene. Their offerings — sheep’s cheese from Black Sheep Creamery in Adna, Washington, and goat from Fraga Farmstead — were promising. Find a bakery booth, grab a fresh baguette — and, of course, some berries — and you’ve got a killer picnic in the making. Of course, the markets all have food carts with fully prepared dishes. A new addition this year is Roll and Bowl, which you’ll ¿nd at the Cannon Beach, Manzanita and Astoria markets. Roll and Bowl of-

which I will get to in due time. But for now I would be remiss not to mention Lance’s Farm Vittles, which offers some absolutely astonishing beef, pork and lamb. Lance prides himself in doing things properly. Unlike so many farmers touting “grass-fed” beef, Lance’s are grass ¿nished. (He avoids switching to grain at the last minute to brieÀy, unhealthily fatten the animal just before slaughter. He also avoids hormones and antibiotics.) His meats are at once deeply rich and inherently clean. Throughout this summer at the markets I plan to ¿ll my freezer full enough of Lance’s meat to make it through the better part of winter. Like the berries, much of the grocery store variations just can’t hold a candle to this kind of quality. So make the most of the farmers markets while they’re here because you’re going to miss them when October rolls around. I know my cooking will.

2016 FEATURED MASTER SAND SCULPTORS Ed Mah is a long-time sand sculptor from Seattle. For years he carved with the Legendary Orbital Sanders Team. This year, Mah will carve with a team put together by Michael Velling. An architect and wood carver (known for his Northwest native-style wood masks), Mahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s style is wide ranging.

Russ Leno is retired engineer living is Shelton. He carves just about anything. He is an experienced sand carver, chainsaw wood carver, snow and ice carver, and perhaps best known as the pumpkin carver at the Washington State Fair.

A humorous sand sculpture imagines unloosing a stream of water on an unsuspecting victim.

The buildup to the event began July 19, with tons of beach sand dumped at the Bolstad approach in Long Beach. Master sculptors, including Ed Mah and Scott Dosch, can be seen carving now through Friday, July 22, with their creations on display through July 24. People are encouraged to vote for their favorites. The action moves to the beach on Friday afternoon with free sand-sculpting lessons at 5 p.m. and late registration from 3 to 6 p.m. Weather permitting, after the lessons there will be a ERQÂżUH VÂśPRUH NLWV IRU WKH ÂżUVW SHRSOH D GDQFH

Lisa Donze is a graduate of Olympiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sand in the City contest. She carves sand, snow and ice and works with Exconicus producing art instruction materials.

The contest takes place at the shoreline adjacent to the Long Beach boardwalk and near the Bolstad beach approach. Masters will begin building at 6 a.m., and teams and solos will start at 8 a.m. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all racing the incoming tide and waves, before they sweep the beach clean. More free sand-sculpting lessons will take place at noon as judging begins. Winners and prizes will be awarded starting at 1 p.m., when the peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s choice award for the downtown sculptures will be announced. There is also a full lineup of entertainment scheduled at the pavilion on Bolstad from noon to 6 p.m. Registration fees range from $65 for masters to $1 each for children under 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;At the end of the day, watching the incoming waves slowly wash the beach back to a blank canvas is perhaps equally impressive,â&#x20AC;? added Hintz.

FEATURED TEAMS Form Finders is headed up by Amos Calendar and Jim Butler, both graduates of the Olympia Sand in the City. Form Finders usually makes wonderful vignettes that tell a story. As an eight-person team, they move a lot of sand and will fill out their plot. Expect laughter to come from the crowd around their plot. True Grit is a new team put together by long-time master sculptor (and past World Champion) Michael Velling. True Grit features sculptors from several teams around the Northwest. What they will make is a big secret; expect it to be popular. The Jessop Family has been moving up the ranks, from novice to intermediate, and this year to the masters category. Expect castles with a message.

Clatskanie >NO W VN౾ QDܼ@ noun 1. a small city and timber town in Columbia County situated on U.S. Highway 30 in the Nehalem Valley. First incorporated in 1891, the current population, according to the 2010 census, is 1,737. Clatskanie is also notable for being the birthplace of writer and poet Raymond Carver 2. Clatskanie River: a 25-mile-long tributary of the Columbia River that drains out of the Coast Range and into a slough approximately 5 miles south of Westport Origin: Both Clatskanie and Klaskanine (the name of another river; this one a tributary of the Youngs River in Clatsop County) come as variants from the native word, Tlats-kani, which one source claims means “swift running water.” As native peoples were not in the habit of naming rivers, but rather locations and points on a river, it was early white settlers who misapplied the word to the river itself from which the city later took its name. The name Tlatskani or Tlatskanai was also the name given to a once fierce tribe of the Athapaskan-speaking language group that descended from Southwest Washington into the upper Nehalem Valley and whose numbers dwindled into extinction by the early 20th century following a smallpox epidemic.

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows Hall in Clatskanie, designed by prominent architect Ernst Kroner in 1926, fell into disrepair in the 1990s. The effort to renovate the building began in 2005. Last year, after a successful $3.18 million capital campaign and 18 months of interior renovation work, the Clatskanie Cultural Center reopened.

When it was first platted in 1852, the city was briefly known as Bryantville, after early settler E.G. Bryant, before officially being listed with the U.S. Postal Service as Clatskanie in 1871. “Clatskanie valley lies south of the Columbia river, about sixty miles down stream from Portland, and forty above Astoria, and is the most extensive agricultural district in Columbia county. It is drained by the Clatskanie river, which is navigable for steamers between the Columbia and the city of Clatskanie, which lies on

the right bank of the river five miles above its mouth.”

—“Columbia County, Oregon,” The West Shore, March 1, 1889, P. 152

“First and most important to the health of a community is its water supply. Clatskanie owns its own water system. The water is mountain water piped from the hills on either side of town. It is cold and very pure. Those who have tasted it prefer it to the famous Bull Run water of Portland.”

—Gertrude Collins, “Clatskanie, Oregon,” The Columbia Register, Friday, Sept. 29, 1905, P. 8

Rain ripped through the streets of Cannon Beach on a June afternoon. School was out and so were plenty of haphazard umbrellas on crowded sidewalks. Local ophthalmologists were all cheering the probable spike in new business. I stepped inside Bill’s Tavern and Brew House to drink a beer and peruse two excellent finds from the Cannon Beach Library book sale. I always strike gold there. Bill’s Tavern soothes me. I like its small scale and intimate atmosphere. I struck up a conversation with two bartenders/servers, Evie and Joel. Both started working at Bill’s when it opened in 1997; they were both 21. They’ve obviously got a lot of history with the tavern. I bet they have some hot after-hours stories of Cannon Beach, too. Maybe I’ll get to hear them one day, especially about the time members from Kiss stayed at a motel in town a decade or so ago.

Rain picked up outside and more people began entering, but the pace remained languid, and quietude still prevailed. I asked Joel what he

thought about the recent opening of big new breweries on the north and south ends of town. Would this hurt business? “It will be a relief,” he said. “Take the pressure off us.” He hesitated for a second, then added, “We’ve still got the location.” That’s certainly true about Bill’s. The tavern and brewhouse is in the middle of all the Cannon Beach action. Joel drifted away to handle customers. I sipped my beer, jotted a few notes on my guest check, and wondered: Can the area sustain more breweries? Growth seems endless. Is more beer coming our way? More crowds? Will there soon be any tiny sanctuaries of stillness left to drink a beer in peace?
