Astoria Winter Festival seeks vendors, volunteers for December Expanded event will move to Armory ASTORIA — The annual Astoria Winter Market, produced by Astoria Sunday Market, is moving to the Astoria Armory this year and expanding to become the Astoria Winter Festival. The Festival takes place Friday, Saturday and Sunday Dec. 19, 20 and 21. “The Armory offers an opportunity to create a wonderful festival that brings people together to share the spirit of the holidays,” explained Astoria Sunday Marekt Director Cyndi Mudge. Vendor applications are now being accepted. Vendor fees are $75 if submitted by Sept. 1 and $85 after Sept. 1. Vendors must make or grow their own products to participate. Contact Mudge at 503-3251010 or AstoriaSundayMarket@charter.net for application information, questions or ideas for programming. “We are excited that the Armory is now available,” Mudge said. “We’re expanding the winter market into a lively community festival and welcome ideas and volunteers for fun programs.” Mudge is seeking community support and volunteers to bring a caroling contest to the festival, a cookie bake-off and a holiday kids workshop where children can make gifts for their family and friends. “This is de-
signed for that last-minute shopping, but we also want this to be a community-inspired festival,” added Mudge. Festival hours will be from 3 to 8 p.m. Dec. 19 and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 20 and 21. The Astoria National Guard Armory – located at 17th and Exchange streets – was completed in 1942 by local contractor John Helstrom. Throughout its early years, the Astoria Armory was used mainly as a recreation center for troops administered by the USO during World War II. For the decades to follow, the Astoria Armory became a venue for numerous local sporting

Knappton Cove Heritage Center hosts public celebration July 26
Attention! Come one, come all – at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 26 to the Knappton Cove Heritage Center – family, friends and military, both active and retired, to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps. The PHS is one of seven branches of the U.S. military, with the mission of protecting and promoting U.S. public health. Saturday’s celebration takes SODFH ¿ WWLQJO\ DW WKH IRUPHU &R lumbia River Quarantine Station at Knappton Cove, which was operational from 1899 through 1938.

ton across the Columbia River from Astoria, is now the Knappton Cove Heritage Center, complete with a museum. Board president Nancy Bell Anderson and her able and dedicated volunteer corps will celebrate and share some of the great history we have surrounding us. Refreshments, re-enactments and historical recaps are a part of the day’s many events. PHS Assistant Surgeon General Rear Adm. Patrick O’Carroll will be on site. His reputation as an entertaining speaker is reason enough to attend. But wait, there’s lots more to be shared at this family-friendly event. “I was just so blown away by Nancy’s enthusiasm and her knowledge that I knew I wanted to be involved with the center and its history,� said retired PHS Dr. Jay Paulsen. On Saturday, Paulsen and his
team, dressed in 1914 uniforms, will offer visitors (should they care to partake) the chance to participate in a short version of the 1914 medical DQG PHQWDO H[DPV UHTXLUHG IRU HQ trance into the U.S. Whether it was smooth sailing through the six-second short exam, or if physicians saw need for further scrutiny, or you earned the dreaded “entry denied,� results were clearly indicated via large and boldly placed chalk marks on incoming immigrant and crew clothing.
THE PUBLIC HEALTH SERVICE THEN AND NOW
The U.S Public Health Service had its beginning when President John Adams signed into law the Act for the Relief of Sick and Disabled Seamen in 1798, which gradually created marine hospitals along
America’s coast. Hospital administration was centralized in a Marine Hospital Service, which grew over the years to help prevent the spread of infectious diseases and epidemics such as smallpox and yellow fever. In 1889 – 125 years ago – legislation formalized the Commissioned Corps as the uniformed services component of the Marine Hospital Service, headed by a Surgeon GenHUDO ,Q &RQJUHVV RI¿ FLDOO\ changed the service’s name to the Public Health Service. Congress also broadened the powers of the PHS by authorizing investigations into human diseases (tuberculosis, hookworm, malaria and leprosy, etc.) sanitation, water supplies, and sewage disposal. Think of all of the immigrants and ships’ crews sailing up the Columbia River; there were over 100,000 of them. Today PHS has over 6,500 engineers, dentists, research scientists, nurses and other health care specialists, as well as physicians working to create a global world free of preventable disease, sickness and suffering.

T
The Northwest World Reggae Fest does not approach its 10th anniversary in grand, celebratory fashion, or even on stable ground. It is, at best, a re-set. At worst, it is a last chance. Over the last three years, while located in Veneta, Oregon, the event has been plagued by myriad issues, including bungled scheduling; multiple, prolonged audio and visual outages; and artists refusing to perform after being denied payment. Festival owner Douglas Carnie does not dispute that billed acts did not play last sumPHU ZKHQ KH ZDV XQDEOH WR PHHW KLV Âż QDQFLDO agreements. “In the end they could’ve played, and they just chose not to,â€? Carnie told me. “They chose the fact that performing to their audience is not as important as the money they were making.â€? After failing to honor his word on payPHQW , IRXQG &DUQLHÂśV GHĂ€ HFWLRQ RI EODPH onto the artists unfair and incredulous. “I’ve been in this business a long time,â€? he went on. “And trust me: All the hippie bands, they didn’t care if there was money there; they went and performed for their fans. And they got their money later.â€? The reason Carnie couldn’t honor the set terms, he said, is because a rash of counterfeit tickets were sold on or near festival premises. “We used to send out really fancy passes to all the vendors and volunteers and stuff so they could have a little keepsake thing,â€? Carnie said. “And that’s what got copied last year.

Legendary reggae artist Don Carlos, of Jamaica, who was once a member of the storied Black Uhuru, will perform at 11:30 p.m. Saturday, July 26.
Somebody took it upon themselves to go to the printshop and have 200 of them ran off and sold them in front of the event. And we didn’t have any idea about it. Nobody told us it was happening. The guy was pretty stealthy.â€? Rather than apologizing to fans who did pay, however, Carnie passed the buck. “We had some issues with the management team,â€? he said. “We had people who were not having our best interests at heart and pulled some shenanigans on us over the last two years. It took me a while to weed it all out.â€? &DUQLH KRSHV WKDW DIWHU ³¿ ULQJ WKUHH TXDU ters of (his) management teamâ€? and moving to the North Coast, he will get a fresh start. He also believes that scaling back the size of the festival will smooth the operation. “It’s one of the problems when you get bigger,â€? he said, “you have to get more people just to keep everything going. And we’ve come back in to just the family doing the shows this \HDU ,WÂśV PRUH GLIÂż FXOW LQ VRPH UHVSHFWV EXW DW least we know that it’s our show.â€? Indeed, the Northwest World Reggae Festival boasts a few solid, even venerable acts. Scheduled to perform are Midnite, deep, trancelike roots reggae from St. Croix, and the Jamaica-based Don Carlos, who was once a member of the storied Black Uhuru. Both Midnite and Don Carlos have performed the festival multiple times in years passed, and those preexisting relationships may explain their booking in 2014 as storms of poor festival reviews abound on Facebook and reggae-related message boards. Despite the efforts of Carnie, who deleted a number of posts on his own Facebook page, artists claiming non-payment ring loud alarms. Carnie said, though, that the clamor comes from those who are jealous – that they want what he has. “You start to run the gamut,â€? he said. “Every festival owner I’ve talked to, everybody has had the same issues at one time or another. There’s always a group of people that want to do what you’re doing and some of them will actually be proactive about making your life harder.â€? Regardless of blame, damage has been done.

tickets on the air. Numerous online commenters feel slighted enough to urge a boycott, based not only on the 2013 debacle but also on poor experiences prior to last year’s festival. One can’t help but wonder if the fest is moving to the North Coast because Carnie exhausted the goodwill in the valley. I asked Carnie if he took any personal responsibility. “You know what,� he said, “I really don’t. I only do to the fact that I was stupid enough to not see it happening and not understand what was really going on. There’s nothing that I have really done – other than the fact of working 16-hour days, months on end, to make sure that (the festival) happens. Outside of me being blind to what was going on, I don’t know what else to say about that. “It’s like I tell people: ‘If somebody breaks into your house and steals all your stuff, well whose fault is that? You have a responsibility, but maybe you didn’t have good-enough locks?’ And that’s how I see it. I feel like I didn’t have good-enough locks. I was too trusting of people that I thought had our best interests at heart when they really wanted to do what they wanted to do.�

GEARHART — Judith Fredrikson, an Oregon native and watercolor painter, will be the featured artist at the Trail’s End Art Gallery August show, opening during the Gearhart ArtWalk, 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2. The public is welcome to browse the gallery’s new exhibit from to Aug. 23. Refreshments will be served. Fredrikson was born and grew up in the Willamette Valley and has lived and worked in Oregon, Washington and Minnesota. She has a Bachelor of Arts from Portland State University. She tried calligraphy for a number of years and was a member of the Write-On Calligraphers of Edmonds, Washington before moving to Warrenton in 1994, when she was introduced to watercolor while doing calligraphy. Classes with Lois Erickson, through Clatsop Community College, provided Fredrikson with motivation and a basic introduction to watercolor. She is a member of Palette Puddlers painting group and Trail’s End. She credits her

Q&A with Judith Fredrikson
Fredrikson answered a few questions related to the artistic approach she uses. What or who most inspired you to be an artist? As a teenager I had a spiritual experience that has stayed with me all my life. Part of that experience included a new awareness of dandelions along the sidewalk. For a few seconds I sensed life vibrating inside everything. Now I mostly paint close-up views of wild, native plants and flowers. I think I am trying to catch another glimpse of that awareness and of the life force that fills everything. The natural world inspires me. What medium do you prefer and where do you work? I’ve tried a number of media, but I am mostly a watercolor artist. I work at home in front of the TV or radio, on a coffee table in my living room. I like to work at Trail’s End, also. What do you like best about your work? I like when I can avoid getting caught up in too much detail and lose the balance of sharp-focus areas and lost edgy areas. I like it when I have some little area that satisfies me. I’m not experiencing that as much as I get older, but I can’t imagine ever putting the brushes down. I love painting very much.

‘Art is for everyone’
Laurie Caplan, one of the organizers of the event and a participating artist, agrees that the studio tour is a unique way for people to gain insight about artists and their work. “One of the ideas is that you come and maybe you connect with a piece or you connect with an artist,â€? Caplan says. “We want people to know that art is for everyone.â€? Caplan, a quilter, has participated in other open studio events in the past. She says they have been as enjoyable for her as for the visitors who come to see her work. “One thing I loved was hearing other people’s stories,â€? she says, “what they liked, what they didn’t.â€? Caplan notes that this year’s studio tour involves a variety of artists, some of whom have been artists their entire lives and others who may have started creating their work later in life, like she did. The event also includes a wide range of art PHGLXPV IURP SDLQWLQJ DQG SKRWRJUDSK\ WR Âż EHU arts and glassblowing.

A workspace with a past
One studio with a particularly interesting history belongs to artist Chris Bryant. According to Bryant, the Alderbrook building where she now lives and works was built in 1897 as a saloon. Pointing to a round divot in her front window, she explains, “There’s even a bullet hole here, which I’ve maintained for historical purposes of when it was a wild place.� Bryant says that the structure became a community grocery store a couple years later, and “they even had a little mini-zoo out in the back.�

The guiding idea, says Caplan, is “to get people more comfortable with art.� “If they don’t know anything about sculpture,� she says, “it might be fun to go to a sculpture studio. If you know you love sculpture, then go to all the sculpture studios! You can just follow your instincts and have fun.� Visitors can expect the studio spaces to be as diverse as the art. Many of the participating artists, like Caplan, combine work and living space, while others, like Paulmenn, have separate art studios.

Paulmenn welcomes the opportunity to share his work and his workspace with a visitor, and this weekend he’ll get a chance to do so on a large scale when he opens his studio to the public for the 2014 Astoria Studio Tour. Sponsored by Columbia Memorial Hospital and the newly formed Astoria Society of Artists, the event will feature 35 artists and 23 studio spaces around the area. “It’s great to talk to people about your work,â€? Paulmenn says, “to expose people to your artwork and show them the process.â€? During the studio tour, he’ll be working on a painting so that visitors can see that process in action. Paulmenn hopes that by coming to his studio, visitors will understand that painting is not an instantaneous art. While he’s “primarily interested in painting people,â€? Paulmenn is also working on several plein air works, or paintings created on location in the open air. He points to a painting of Franklin Avenue that he’s been working on for more than two years.

espite having worked as an artist for much of his life, oil painter Robert Paulmenn understands that art can seem intimidating. He just doesn’t think it should be. “It’s not that heady,� he says. “It all boils down to what you like – it’s that simple. People say, ‘Oh, I don’t understand art,’ and my question to them always is, ‘What do you like?’ And that’s all you have to worry about.� Paulmenn looks anything but intimidating in a baseball cap, shorts and a T-shirt – an ensemble as suitable for a walk on the beach as for a painting session in his downtown Astoria studio. He is surrounded by the tools of his trade: a large wooden easel, assorted color samples, and several jars full of paintbrushes. Canvases in varying states of completion are stacked against

During the open studio event, Bryant and her daughter, Gina, will both welcome visitors and show their work in painting, photography, collage, mixed-media assemblages and other forms.

She credits previous open studio events for helping raise awareness of her gallery and her work.
‘Tapestry weaving is alive and exciting’
At the other end of the studio tour is another live-work space, this one on the South Slope and home to tapestry weaver Cheryl Silverblatt. “I think I do something that’s uncommon,� Silverblatt says. She explains that while the North Coast has a strong weaving tradition generally, tapestry weaving is much more rare. “I wanted to help people understand – by demonstrating, by showing pieces, by talking about it – that tapestry weaving is alive and exciting,� she says of her participation in the open studio event. Compared to the representational scenes from famous tapestry pieces of the Middle Ages, Silverblatt describes her tapestries as impressionistic and abstract. She designs her own work and then allows it to evolve organically on the loom, row by row. “I create the image

PARADISE PIZZA Pleasant food and atmosphere on the Long Beach Peninsula
W
Wherever food is concerned, I always have my eyes and ears open. In my nonMouth related work, I am often communicating with tourists, and I am frequently asked for recommendations on “classicâ€? coastal, cuisine. “Where is the best clam chowder?â€? or, Âł:KHUH FDQ , Âż QG JUHDW VHD food?â€? I would say the more common question, though, is “Who has the best pizza?â€? For a long time, this surprised me. After all, we’re kind of “knownâ€? for our FODP FKRZGHU DQG Âż VK DQG chips, aren’t we? But when I considered other factors, I could see why pizza is a common favorite of travelers. I read a statistic recently that the average family of four, when on vacation, spends about $150 a day on eating out, which means that during a seven-night trip, over $1,000 could be spent on dining. It’s no secret that restaurant dining is a pricey venture, and for families and large groups of friends, pizza just makes sense. A pizza outing is still relatively inexpensive, considering how many people one pie can feed. And beyond that, pizza parlors can often accommodate large groups, and usually the atmosphere is noisy enough that parents can feel comfortable eating out with boisterous children. Some friends and I dined out recently with a whole gaggle of said children at Paradise Pizza in Ocean Park, Washington. While any food service worker would be MXVWLÂż HG LQ IHHOLQJ D VPDOO ZDYH RI GUHDG upon seeing such a party walk through the door, instead, our server was delightful and

of that. My favorite pizza of the evening was a veggie pizza. The toppings of onions, olives and various peppers were plentiful, as was the mozzarella cheese. I think I perhaps enjoyed it so much because both the pepperoni and Canadian bacon were in such generous supply that the tops of the other pizzas became a little greasy, and this was not the case with the veggie pizza. $ FDO]RQH Âż OOHG ZLWK SHSSHURQL VDXVDJH and cheese was large enough for two people, literally plate-sized.

The atmosphere is beachy, bright and fun, and there is a large upstairs area overlooking the ocean, plus a large TV and some game tables, making it an obvious choice for a large group or a party. While I still don’t feel I can accurately say that any one pizza parlor in our area is the “best,â€?

Terrible Tilly focus of exhibit History center highlights the saga of the dangerous Tillamook Rock Lighthouse Story by ERICK BENGEL EO Media Group
Atop Tillamook Rock, a mile and a quarter off the shores of Tillamook Head, sits a squat, dilapidated lighthouse. Though formally christened Tillamook Rock Lighthouse, the structure, built between 1879 and 1881, is nicknamed “Terrible Tilly” because it is best known as a site of dangerous coastal weather and almost 20 recorded deaths. The lighthouse and its history are the subject of an exhibit at the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum called “The Infamous Terrible Tilly,” on display through December. The exhibit chronicles Terrible Tilly’s saga – from its construction by the now-defunct U.S. Bureau of Lighthouses, through its decommissioning in 1957, up until its informal adoption by the U.S. Forest Service. In addition to large illustrative panels, the exhibit includes artifacts from the lighthouse itself, such as the light-keepers’ logbook from 1881 and a
piece of the original Fresnel lens. Visitors can also watch a 2009 video interview with James “Shipwreck Jim” Gibbs, who, at age 25, worked as a light-keeper at Tillamook Rock from 1945-46 while serving in the U.S. Coast Guard.
A ‘cursed spot’
Even before the federal government sought to build a lighthouse in the Tillamook Head area, the local Native American population considered Tillamook Rock and the waters around it a “cursed spot,” said history center Executive Director Elaine Murdy-Trucke, who wrote the copy for the exhibit. Violent winds and powerful waves regularly hit the rock from different angles, often breaching the top. Vessels have been known to capsize or shatter against the jagged reef, “which is why it was probably a good idea to have some sort of beacon there,” she said. However, “the lighthouse was not wanted around here,” Murdy-Trucke noted. Apart from the risk involved in raising a lighthouse on the rock,

From the surface of the ocean to the top of the lighthouse is about 134 feet – and the waves of Tillamook Rock breach even that height.
the Tillamook Head region was a “really tucked-away spot. That’s why people liked it, and they really didn’t want to have a light shining on them,” she said. In 1881, the Lupatia, a British ship sailing from Japan and bound for Portland, crashed against the reef of Tillamook Rock. All 16 to 17 members of the crew drowned; only the dog survived.
A ‘terrific undertaking’
The U.S. Bureau of Lighthouses initially planned to erect the lighthouse on the promontory of Tillamook Head. But the only viable place was so high up that the light would have been invisible through the foggy, inhospitable conditions, so the bureau set its sights on Tillamook

Rock instead. Construction of the lighthouse, which began in fall 1879, took less than 600 days. “To build a lighthouse there was a terri¿c undertaking,” even for experienced builders, because they were “¿ghting the forces of nature all the time,” Gibbs says in his interview. Together, the 62-foot lighthouse and the basalt seastack beneath it rise roughly 134 feet above the ocean. “It’s incredible that they were ever able to do it, if you think about the kinds of storms we have here,” Murdy-Trucke said. “There was no shelter. They were living in little A-frame tents, constantly soaking wet.” The light of the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse – then a ker-

Circle Creek Walk
At Circle Creek Habitat Reserve, join NCLC Stewardship
Director Melissa Reich for an exploration of a Àoodplain forest in all its many stages: newly planted, dead and dying, and everything in between. The walk is from 10 a.m. to noon Thursday, Aug. 7. Circle Creek is one of NCLC’s largest habitat reserves and one of the most dynamic. Since 2003, NCLC has planted more than 40,000 native trees and shrubs in order to allow wildlife to thrive across the entire property.
Paddle to Coal Creek
NCLC board members John Mersereau and Tammi Lesh will lead a paddle from Nehalem Bay to one of NCLC’s most secluded properties. Coal Creek Swamp,
osene Àame refracted and magni¿ed through a Fresnel lens – shone for the ¿rst time on Jan. 21, 1881. Over the years, Terrible Tilly – which was originally budgeted for $50,000 and ended up costing $123,492.82 – “has always been considered one of the most dif¿cult lighthouses to equip and attend to,” Gibbs says.
‘Left to the birds’
In 1939, the U.S. Bureau of Lighthouses was subsumed into the U.S. Coast Guard, which deactivated the lighthouse in 1957 after installing a beacon buoy just off the shore of Tillamook Head, Murdy-Trucke said. Since then, the ownership of Terrible Tilly has repeatedly changed hands. In 1973, it was sold to a New York couple, the Hupmans, who, having never seen it in person, hoped to turn it into a vacation rental. Recognizing the futility of that idea after actually visiting the rock, the Hupmans sold it to a Portland man, Max Shillock Jr., who bought it with money he had allegedly stolen from elderly ladies. Shillock then sold it in 1980 (for twice the amount he had paid) to a woman, Mimi Morrisette, who converted it into a columbarium named Eternity at Sea, where more than 20 famion the North Fork of the Nehalem River, comprises 80 acres of healthy Sitka spruce swamp, a once common but now rare habitat type along the Oregon Coast. The group will paddle up the North Fork Nehalem River on a rising tide to skirt the edges of this lovely spot, exploring the habitat and wildlife found in this part of the Nehalem Estuary, before riding the tide back to Nehalem. This excursion will be from 11 a.m. to approximately 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 10. Meet in the parking lot of Hal’s Emporium, 35995 7th St. in Nehalem. Canoes, paddles and lifejackets will be provided. Previous kayak or canoe experience is recommended. If you have questions about the dif¿culty level, contact NCLC.
lies stored the cremated remains of their loved ones. However, Eternity at Sea lost its funerary license and declared bankruptcy in 1999 after vandals broke into the lighthouse and tossed a number of urns into the ocean. Back in 1981, the government had added the Tillamook Rock Lighthouse to the National Register of Historic Places. Now, the U.S. Forest Service maintains it as home for seals, sea lions, seagulls, pelicans, and other maritime animals. “(A)s to who technically owns it, well, that’s been left to the birds,” Murdy-Trucke said.
Falling apart
It may appear sturdy and seamless from shore, but the lighthouse has continued to fall into disrepair. Flying rocks have broken the windows. The iron roof of the lighthouse base is rusted and collapsing. Much of the plaster on the three-footthick granite walls has sloughed off. The interior is overrun with mildew, the exterior with bird droppings. Unless someone makes a point to restore it – or at least preserve it – the lighthouse’s best days are probably behind it. “Because it’s so dangerous and dif¿cult to get out there,” Murdy-Trucke said, “I think it’s going to end up falling apart.”
Forest Walk to Yeon House
NCLC Executive Director Katie Voelke will lead a walk at Lewis & Clark National Historical Park’s Yeon Property near Sunset Beach from 10 a.m. to noon Tuesday, Aug. 12. NCLC was honored to play a role in conserving this 100-acre gem, which includes three-quarters of a mile of oceanfront land. On this excursion, participants will take a walk along the trails through the wild dunes and scrub-shrub habitat. This is an easy walk along fairly well-maintained trail surfaces. Call NCLC if you have any questions about the dif¿culty of this outing. There is a public restroom at the Sunset Beach trailhead parking lot.

Connection to the coast: I live part time and own a second home in Manzanita. I stayed over in Astoria on a few of my teaching weekends at Clatsop Community College this spring. Favorite thing about Astoria: The city’s urban feel and long history. There’s so much I like about this town: the architecture, the ships, the bridge, the great food and the friendly people. Art medium(s) of choice: Watercolors, oils, and the new water-based Akua inks. How is printmaking conducive to experimentation? The process of printmaking offers surprises. It allows you to use several mediums within an image. The print can be built in layers, and that is always exciting for me – to use a variety of mediums, techniques and experiment freely. Childhood hobby: I obsessively collected MAD magazines and all that goes with MAD. How did you get started in art? Both my parents were artists who specialized in creating murals and sculptures with mosaics. They took me on many of their jobs and I helped. My mother encouraged me to draw starting from a very early age. I had my first gallery show in our home when I was 8, and my parents invited friends. Subjects you focus on in your art: I’ve always been interested in portraiture and use photography to capture people, places or anything I find inspiring or ironic. Recently I’ve been intrigued by the bodies of birds I find dead on the shore

Most of the artists I admire are represented by David Zwirner Gallery in NYC. Best advice you’ve ever been given: Less is more. On your bucket list: To live on the coast full time, travel overseas more and paint more. Favorite sport or activity: Biking, running, walking and rowing. Secret indulgence: I love to stay out on the beach for sunset with a double chocolate Dove bar and not come in until it’s well past dark.

noun 1. an archaic, short-snouted, castiron artillery weapon capable of firing long shot at close range with a limited amount of gunpowder; a cannon, mainly used on warships, common aboard British Royal Navy vessels circa 1770–1850, and popular with American revolutionaries, pirates and privateers due to the relative lighter weight of the weapon, which required less man power to load and maneuver Origin: From English, CARRON COMPANY, the original manufacturer of the smoothbore gun located in Falkirk, Scotland, and, -ade, borrowed from the French, with the Latin root -āta, a suffix meaning an act or process, a product or result. Now on display at the Columbia River Maritime Museum, “the two cannons, known more specifically as carronades, were discovered in 2008 during Presidents Day weekend. Mike Petrone of Tualatin and his daughter Miranda, who was 12 years old at the time, discovered the first cannon while walking along the beach in Arch Cape. Two days later the second one was found by Sharisse Repp of Tualatin.” —Ted Shorack, “Cannons from USS Shark to be displayed,” The Daily Astorian, May 25, 2014
“The Shark was wrecked on attempting to leave the Columbia River on Sept. 10, 1846, and part of her deck and a small iron cannon drifted ashore south of Tillamook Head, thus giving the name to Cannon Beach. ... The compiler has no positive information but assumes Shark Creek [just east of Arch Cape] takes its name from the ship of the unfortunate Lieutenant Howison.” —Lewis A. McArthur, Oregon Geographic Names, Sixth Edition, ed. Lewis L. McArthur, 1992
A more-refreshing glass of water Need to beat the heat? Or simply stay hydrated? There is a way to make a glass of water more refreshing. We give you: Cucumber Water.
• Slice a cucumber. For added visual beauty, peel the cucumber’s skin in stripes (a la Martha Stewart). • In a pitcher, jar or glass, add ice and the cucumber slices. • Fill with water and let chill. More patience equals more flavor to enjoy. • Sip and marvel.
For added deliciousness, add other fresh items. Lemon or lime slices and sprigs of fresh mint add brightness. Raspberries and strawberries add some natural sweetness.
Five Essentials for the Coast
1. Clothing: With sometimes hourly changing weather, it’s best to dress in layers. Peel off your sweatshirt when the sun comes out, and don that coat if it rains. Legend has it that shorts and swimsuits can be appropriate on warmer days. 2. Proper footwear: Whether that means flip flops for the sand or hiking boots for trails between beaches (I’m looking at you, Ecola State Park), bring shoes that fit your activity of choice. 3. A kite: Embrace the breeze and lift your spirits by flying a kite. You might as well take advantage of the wind. 4. Sun protection: A sunny, skin-baring day or a cloud-filled sky – UV rays beam down regardless. Sunscreen or a hat are smart choices. Sunglasses also protect from bright skies and flying sand. 5. Snacks! And a trash bag: Yummy treats can make a day at the beach satisfying. Remember to clean up and help keep the Columbia Pacific beautiful.
