Astoria Co-op Enjoy a cooking demonstration ASTORIA — Farmer Fred Johnson will showcase some of his seasonal products with a live cooking demonstration at the Astoria Co-op, 1355 Exchange St. The event will be held 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Friday, July 26. Johnson plans to bring peakseason produce, possibly including peppers, tomatoes and basil. Johnson, who was a chef prior to starting a farm in Naselle, Wash., plans to prepare these vegetables in what he calls “the simple and very rustic Italian vein.” The
public is invited to come to the co-op to learn how to prepare this seasonal produce, taste and get the recipe. “The Co-op is going above and beyond facilitating this social experiment of how to localize our food dollars, representing local growers and showing people how they can eat the products that are delivered fresh at their peak. It’s something other grocery retailers in the area aren’t able to offer,” Johnson said. Johnson said as of late June

She eventually won prizes for her photography and was published, including on the cover of the annual Chamber of Commerce tourist publication.

WARRENTON — Join renowned local birder, biologist and North Coast Land Conservancy volunteer Mike Patterson for a walk at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park’s Yeon Property near Sunset Beach 10 a.m. to noon Saturday, July 27. NCLC was honored to play a role in conserving this 100acre gem on the North Oregon Coast, which includes threequarters of a mile of oceanfront dunes and is part of NCLC’s Neacoxie Wildlife Corridor conservation initiative. Patterson will lead a walk along the trails through the wild dunes and scrub-shrub habitat, exploring a landscape in gentle transition. Attendees should wear comfortable walking shoes, dress for the day’s weather and bring water. There will be access to public restrooms at the Sunset Beach parking area. It’s also a good idea to bring binoculars for wildlife spotting. This walk is part of NCLC’s summer On the Land series, exploring the many protected lands along Oregon’s beautiful North Coast that NCLC either owns or helped local communities and organizations protect.

Paradise found:
REACHING THE SUMMIT OF
Tillamook Head
T
The trail wound upward, a meandering drunkard’s path from the south end of Seaside. All in all, it was about eight miles south through Ecola State Park and its accompanying Elmer Feldenheimer Forest Preserve to the north end of Cannon Beach. We would only hike 3.3 miles to Tillamook Head’s summit – no park benches or picnic tables on arrival, just a copse of Sitka Spruce, ocean in view. And 3.3 miles uphill. Nobody minded. The trail is relatively even, zigzagging into switchbacks as the hikers move forward and upward, one step at a time. In 1967, Marie Louise Feldenheimer purchased the 1,300 acres, the most precious of gifts: precious like Bilbo’s ring – not gold but green, a ring of property that today allows us to remember what we had 200 years ago when the Corps of Discovery struggled through the dense forests of the Pacific Northwest. Struggled up this very trail. Feldenheimer grew up in the neighborhood, climbed the same path and marveled at the same lush landscape. In an age when the great trees were routinely felled with rapacity, she wished to preserve the trees and this stunning landscape, to allow it the grace of longevity, “a 1,000 years of rest.” Today, Oregon State Parks manages the reserve, and tens of thousands walk the refuge and Ecola State Park each year. Oh! How lucky we are. And we were. I stopped by my dear friend’s enclave, one Mr. Richard Rowland and his studio on the hill at the Astoria Dragon Kiln, and we began to fulfill an earlier promise: to take a day off and quietly get in touch with our pantheist spirit. Cilla Russell was there as well, a student of Richard’s who just completed her master’s degree in Australia and is looking for a teaching job in the arts. Richard, with all his passion and skill, helps in any way he can. Last month I wrote a story on Saddle Mountain after a long-postponed climb with two other friends. Next month I hope to climb the Neahkanie Mountain trail and complete the three-peak trilogy – an old-bones revival story featuring this writer

as a rickety come-back kid. The trail to the top of Tillamook Head caused some hard breathing, but not much more. Sure, I returned with sore legs and knees but felt emboldened by the experience. As the afternoon deepened, Richard commented, “I love the sea breeze. How the wind comes up from the shore. How that smell of ocean and forest invades my breathing.” I call that a raison d’être. Isn’t that reason enough to
‘I love the sea breeze. How the wind comes up from the shore. How that smell of ocean and forest invades my breathing.’ I call that a raison d’être. make an eight-mile hike? And isn’t Richard speaking to a spiritual awakening: a place where God and nature come together, a place where spirit invades his soul like soft wind dancing. Lewis and Clark climbed here, on their quest to view a beached whale. Sacagawea came along. She actually had to plead her case. Didn’t she have a right to view the great mammal? Imagine, her life was dominated by the flat, wide plains. The biggest fish she ever saw was probably a 16-inch trout. Marvel after marvel. Clark commented, “I beheld the grandest and most pleasing prospect which my eyes ever surveyed.” Of course he was talking about the landscape and seascape of the Oregon Coast. Lewis was in writer’s remission. He too, must have been pleased. We lucky denizens of the Columbia-Pacific arena are prone to forget that we live in paradise. As I write this piece, incendiary temperatures are driving wild fires in Colorado. Phoenix is 117 degrees hot. Death Valley 129. Aquifers are drying up in Kansas, farmers deserting old family farms, while

we live in the bread basket of comfort. We three potters climbed to the summit in a couple of hours, stopping along the way to eat bright orange salmonberries and identify plants. Richard analyzed animal tracks, a latter-day trapper in the modern world. After all, his father was a trapper and logger. Dog or cat? Dog, he thought. An hour later he found the suspect, an Australian greyhound, not that much bigger than my 16pound cat. The forest was typical of close to home: fern, mosses, spruce and hemlock. Not much cedar here. So close to the ocean but always a blanket of green, thousands of shades and hues. And all those delicate wildflowers – icing on the cake. Celia outwalked – out-bounded – this older man, and I couldn’t help but remember what it was like as a younger trekker, traipsing through the Cascades. Summiting the tall, snow-capped peaks. Well, to
a large degree, summits are in the head, but on a blue-bird day in July, the trail up Tillamook Head was just fine for me.

Saturday Morning Stewardship Volunteers needed to help save a second-growth forest SEASIDE — Tucked along the Necanicum River near Klootchy Creek Park sits one of the North Coast Land Conservancy’s most vibrant habitat reserves, the 35acre Necanicum Forest. Mature second-growth Sitka spruce, hemlock and alder trees and thickets of native shrubs create a lush riparian forest where all kinds of wildlife from tiny songbirds to Roosevelt elk thrive. On Saturday, July 27 NCLC’s Saturday Morning Stewardship volunteer day will
tackle the invasive plants that are beginning to creep in at the edges of the forest, threatening to displace native shrubs that provide food and habitat for the abundant wildlife that call the Necanicum River’s edge home. “Necanicum Forest is an amazing property, so much of it is on a great trajectory to become dynamic coastal rainforest habitat in the not-too-distant future,” Katie Voelke, NCLC executive director, explains. “All we have to do is keep the invasive plants from moving in and taking over.

NPR said, “You’ll notice the sparse nature of the arrangements, which purposely throw the trio’s harmonies into the spotlight.” Willamette Week wrote, “Alialujah Choir has got the full package: With these talents it’s no surprise the songs are melodically engaging (nor that they are brilliantly produced in Selzer’s capable hands), but the excellent lyricism is a bit surprising.” Willamette Week also called them, “the best possible kind of supergroup,” and added that “this is one of the prettiest albums to come out of Portland.” The Alialujah Choir is well known for its sparse instrumentalism and harmonized vocals. The group members have re-

mained committed “to escaping the commercial pressures of their other bands and return to their love for roots folk music” thus staying true to the art and craft of music making, and they have maintained a recording process whereby “no one else could play on the album, or even be present in the studio while the tape was rolling.” This has lead to an equally sparse live show schedule. The Sou’wester Lodge is lucky to host a band of such caliber and such rare performances, as they have performed only 10 times in three years.

of Marco Davis
f you went to “Dragalution!” the recent drag revue at the Columbian Theater this past winter, you may think you know Marco Davis, he of the winged costume running through the fields and onto the stage. But you would only know one aspect of the man. If you’ve seen a musical at the Coaster Theater, then you’ve seen another side of Davis; he does their choreography. If you haven’t been to one of Davis’ shows and didn’t know him when he was a student at Astoria High School, you may have had a meal he cooked at the Columbian Cafe. He is an Astoria artist of movement and performance, and much more. Davis’ current project is a fundraiser to save the Columbian Theater by replacing its old film projector with a digital one. The entire industry has gone digital (“We’ll be lucky to find prints through the end of the summer,” says Davis), so an “End of the Reel” fundraiser – Grindhouse Cocktail Evening – will be held 9 p.m. Saturday, July 27 for a 21-andover crowd with performances from Davis’ gender-bending “Dragalution!” and local band Fever Damn, along with hors d’oeuvres by Uriah Hulsey, owner of the Columbian Cafe.

Born in Astoria, Davis has left the town several times, always to return. He started working at Columbian Cafe in 1990 and has been cooking there on and off since 1996. “My grandmother taught me how to cook as a child,” Davis says, “teaching me the family recipes from Italy.” Then at McDonald’s he learned “efficiency and cleanliness,” and Hulsey taught him everything else: “I was so excited when he finally gave me a chance to cook.” “My art is so many different things,” says Davis, “including my cooking. I want to give people an artistic experience.” As a gay man, though, Davis has encountered prejudice. “You’d be surprised,” he says, “at the amount of people who have left the restaurant when they see me cooking. They don’t want to ‘catch gay.’” Davis was gone from Astoria from 2001 to 2007 to pursue one of his dreams, a Master of Fine Arts in dance from the University of Oregon. He spent part of that time in New York City working on his thesis: the role of the male

in dance and dance instruction. Always one to follow his dreams, Davis achieved another ambition last year, when he became a certified massage therapist. Perhaps best known for his shows at the Columbian Theater, Davis has bigger plans for the future. “There are many ways to be a part of art in Astoria,” he says, “and I’m trying to build a troupe of performers. Not just drag, but performance art, jazz dance.” Davis teaches tap and modern jazz dance at the Astoria Arts and Movement Center (AAMC), and plans to devote more time to teaching youth and young adults, including after-school workshops, “to put my MFA to work.” Aug. 9 will see a new performance of “Dragalution!” at the Columbian, with old numbers reworked and new numbers added, and beginning in January there will be a monthly drag show at the theater. He will be adding classes at AAMC, and he will also make himself available to cook for private parties. Davis has plans for his massage practice as well, introducing “dance mantras.” He will do your “movement and postural analysis” and work with movement to “open that up,” concluding the session with a one-hour massage. Davis also performs marriage services; he’s ordained by the Universal Life Church. “I’m amazed at how supportive this community is of the arts,” says Davis, “especially the endeavors I’ve put on. It inspires me to always make sure that I keep pushing myself to be creative, to make art that we can all enjoy together. It can be transformative.” Whatever Marco Davis does, you can be sure that it will, in his words, “make us less stagnant, and happier You might catch Marco Davis behind the counter at than we ordinarily are.” the Columbian Cafe, serving up tasty dishes.

During the last weekend in July, the many branches of Astoria’s art community will gather to celebrate their talents. Lucky us, we’re invited to join them. Friday, Saturday and Sunday, July 26, 27 and 28, come and see what’s happening when the Astoria Visual Arts community shows off its wide – no, wait! What an understatement; that should read: an extremely wide and exceptionally diverse array of talents. 25 tour locations and more than 50 participating artists offer a rare chance to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of visual artists at work in an approachable, festive and easy-to-navigate tour (and it’s free of charge). With mixed-media to the max, the third annual Astoria Visual Arts (AVA) Open Studio Tour promises something for all ages. Saturday and Sunday self-guided tours are filled with a multitude of different types of arts: painting, sculpting, fiber arts, jewelry making, glass blowing, installation art, wood carving, printing – and that’s just for starters. Add in live art demonstrations, workshops, performance art and receptions, with all of it taking place in a bevy of locations. There are private stu-

Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH dios – open to the public only once a year – commercial studios and galleries, markets, shops, eateries, and even Astoria’s sidewalks will provide a stage for some artistic fun. This year versatile Astoria artist Diane Lane is coordinating the AVA 2013 Open Studio Tour. Partially funded by the Oregon Cultural Trust through a grant from the Clatsop County Cultural Coalitions and gifts from L.C. Smith, Gimre’s Shoes and participating artists and businesses, it’s evident Astoria cares about its art and its artists. Busy at work with an able committee that is expanding the weekend’s activities beyond afternoon studio tours, Lane says, “I jumped at the opportunity to take part in such a great event for our local creative community. This (event) is all about the artists and the events. I’m only working to pull things together. Larry Taylor is the President of the AVA, and Jamie Boyd designed all of the print materials. Ray Merritt, Darren Orange and Stirling Gorsuch have taken to sprucing up the information center space. This is very much a group effort.” The AVA Cultural Center is located at 229 14th St. in a space donated for the event by Pete Gimre. Opening at 10 a.m. Saturday and Sunday, it provides a base camp of sorts with tour maps, information, a schedule of related AVA events, an artists’ market and a variety of art demonstrations. Three new studio-related happenings make an appearance this year. First is an invitation to mix and mingle with artists Friday evening smack-dab in the heart of Astoria at Clemente’s restaurant and lounge, 1198 Commercial St. This kick-off event starts at 7 p.m. Second, Random Acts of Art will occur spontaneously throughout the weekend. “Created at the whim of local performance artists, there is no telling what or when or where something will be happening,” Lane says. Finally, the Masquerade Ball will take place 8 p.m. Saturday upstairs in Astoria’s historic Liberty Theater. Costumes are optional but definitely encouraged; come dressed as your favorite artist or work of art for the best party of the year. ”We really just want people to come and enjoy the company of the artistic community and support the arts in a fun and festive way,” Lane says. Tickets for the ball are $15 in advance and $20 at the door. All proceeds from the ball will go toward estab-
lishing a permanent Cultural Arts Center, long the dream of the Astoria art community. “We hope to have a packed house dancing to the music of The Pagan Pancakes. Baked Alaska will be providing a no-host bar, and local restaurants will provide platters of artful hors d’oeuvres. I would love to see the Mona Lisa in olives,” Lane says. This year’s inventive poster and logo were created by Astoria artist Jamie Boyd. Just when you think there’s never another poster to add to an “already too many” poster collection, along comes yet another “must-have.” The poster’s art sets the perfect tone for what’s to come
25 tour locations and more than 50 participating artists offer a rare chance to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of visual artists at work in an approachable, festive and easy-to-navigate tour. during the AVA Studio Tour weekend. “It was an image of a glob of paint at the end of a brush,” Boyd says “And I thought, ‘Why not have that glob look like an aerial shot of Astoria.’ I played around with some paint and a loose image of Astoria. I submitted a few images to the organizing committee, and they all liked that image the best. Then we played around with colors, something bright and colorful. So the sun gold and teal were created as summer colors. Voilà!” When Astoria cit councilor Drew Herzig first moved to Astoria, he was amazed at the number of artists living in the area. After joining the AVA board and heading up the artist committee, his first goal was to produce a studio tour. In 2011, the AVA’s first annual Open Studio Tour was held on the last weekend of July. “A call went out to all local artists, inviting them to participate. The response was amazing, both from the artists and public,” says Herzig. “It became, in geographical terms at least, the biggest art event of the year.” Astoria’s art and enthusiastic creativity continues. Come, experience and enjoy what a community has to show off, and be proud as artists and art lovers of all ages celebrate a good thing at the third annual AVA Open Studio Tour, held once again on the last weekend in July,

Mouth finds food, wine and experience live up to restaurant’s name
I’ve driven by the Yummy Wine Bar & Bistro in Seaside a number of times, but up until recently I had never walked through the door. My drive-by impression was that it looked like the cool, hip sort of locale I’d like to imagine myself frequenting, and to be honest, I found the name interesting. If the first rule of a successful business is location, location, location, then the importance of a catchy name must be number two. With a name like “Yummy,” you are not merely suggesting that your food might be, well, yummy, you are announcing it … and, as the adage says, you better be able to put your money where your mouth is. Luckily, for this Mouth, the food, wine and experience at Yummy lived up to the name, and then some. I guess “mouth-wateringly fantastic” would probably be difficult to fit on a sign. I was instantly charmed by a cozy fireplace when I walked in, plus some nifty vintage artwork. Our server greeted us warmly, and we happily partook in some of her wine suggestions. I was further charmed to find out that the restaurant’s daily soup was a curried apple purée with leeks and bacon. My experience with curry is that it’s a “love it or hate it” sort of spice; most folks I know fall into one of the two camps, but rarely do you ever hear someone say, “I kinda like curry.” Fortunately for me, I love curry, love curry even more when it’s paired with apples, and become absolutely starry-eyed when bacon is added to the mix. As a purée, the soup has a rather thick consistency. A milder cousin to onions, leeks added a delicate flavor to underlie the curry, while the bacon provided a salty, crisp exclamation point. I sampled a roasted beet salad next, with herbed crème fraîche and montrachet cheese, honey maple walnuts, juniper berries. and basil-dressed greens.

And I pondered how unusual it was to find two of my favorite, but seemingly disparate, food likes on one menu: curry and beets. The beet salad did not disappointment, and my only quibble was that I wished there were more of it. The soft note of basil was not overpowering, and it offered an interest-

Like a work of art, the stacked ingredients (sometimes called a “napoleon”) was presented exquisitely, and the flavors were delicate. This is an extremely large portion of tuna, an impressive value. Grilled pork medallions with Italian tomatoes and onion cream sauce with pan-seared rosemary potatoes and juniper berries graced the table next, and the dish was equally as toothsome. The phrase “melts in your mouth” leaps to mind, with the tender, juicy pork and the onion cream sauce providing a rich finish. No flavor is left to chance; even the potatoes were expertly prepared, and the flavors

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: 3 to 10 p.m. Thursday to Tuesday. PRICES:The restaurant is a big-city experience in a small town, and the prices reflect that, with entrées from $16.75 to $25.75. The expertly crafted combinations of flavors and fresh ingredients merit the price tag, though. And there are some “deals” to be had, including a spectacular happy hour menu offered from 3 to 6 p.m. daily, with no item costing more than $8.75. ATMOSPHERE:Trendy and hip, with a changing gallery of artwork and a cozy fireplace. A delightful break from the ordinary.
SERVICE: Friendly and knowledgeable. The food was a bit slow to come out of the kitchen, but it wasn’t anything that would deter me from visiting again. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan and vegetarian options abound. DRINKS: Artisan and organic sodas, coffee, tea, beer and – of course – an astoundingly large selection of wine that can be ordered by the glass, bottle or as part of a wine “flight.”

perfectly balanced. For dessert I selected butterscotch goat cheese panna cotta topped with salted caramel. The combination of salt and sweet is the star of this dish. I have never tasted goat cheese in a panna cotta; goat cheese is a bit of an acquired taste and is admittedly not my favorite cheese, but the preparation is artful, nonetheless. I was incredibly impressed with both the food and wine at Yummy, and my only real criticism with the evening was that the food seemed a bit slow to come out of the kitchen. I was in no hurry, though, and I often wonder if we place too much emphasis on eating with speed. I enjoyed a bit of extra time to relish the flavors of each dish, especially paired with exceptional wine. Yummy Wine Bar & Bistro receives my whole-hearted recommendation and is, indeed, positively yummy.

SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library will host New York Times bestselling author Chelsea Cain 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 1. The event will take place in the Community Room, and there will be book sales and signings provided by Beach Books. Cain is the author of the books “Heartsick,” “Sweetheart,” “Evil at Heart,” “The Night Season” and “Kill You Twice.” Her Portland-based thrillers, featuring the female serial killer Gretchen Lowell, have been published in more than 30 languages, recommended on “The Today Show,” appeared in episodes of HBO’s “True Blood” and ABC’s “Castle.” Her books have been named among Stephen King’s top 10 favorite books of the year and included in NPR’s list of the 100 best thrillers ever
GEARHART — Fans of flowers and children will delight in the Gearhart gardens featured in this year’s Gardens by the Sea. Clatsop CASA is pleased to be presenting its sixth annual self-guided garden tour. This event is a fundraiser for advocacy services for abused and neglected children in Clatsop County. The tour takes place in Gearhart 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, July 27. Trails End Art Center is hosting this event. Local artist and CASA supporter Carol Riley has again graciously donated her art work and talent in designing this year’s poster. Signed copies will be available for purchase. The gardens were chosen with the generous assistance of Natural Nook and Back Alley Gardens. The Gearhart community has many beautiful gardens and generous gardeners opening their garden gates for CASA. On the tour you will see: a flowing garden walled in green with a
beautiful drainage solution; a charming greenhouse and garden designed for year-round fun; an inspirational border design surrounding a house; the art of gardening on display; a collector’s picture-perfect garden, tended by two who love to garden; and a garden displaying the light of proper placement. “The Clatsop CASA Gardens by the Sea provides a wonderful opportunity to see these spectacular gardens and help abused children to have an improved present and hopeful future,” said Jill Smith, event coordinator. Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers
provide information and recommendations to juvenile court judges to insure that children’s best interests remain a top priority throughout the legal process. A CASA volunteer advocates for a child until that child is in a safe, nurturing and permanent home. CASA is a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. On the day of the event, tickets and maps for this selfguided tour will be available at Trail’s End Art Center, 656 A St. in Gearhart beginning at 10 a.m. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased prior to the event at the CASA office, by calling 503338-6063, or by emailing cheryl @clatsopcasa.org.
Niland a few days later. I soon found myself completely immersed in the “Shanghaied” experience from my position in the tech booth. What does being the ASOC’s lead lighting technician involve? As the lead light tech I am responsible for maintaining and designing the lights for a majority of the shows featured at the ASOC. I am also responsible for trying to assure the best quality we can get with our current limited sound system. What are some of your favorite plays? “The Real Story of Lewis and Clark (or How the Finns Discovered Astoria)” is currently my favorite of the shows produced at the ASOC. However, our upcoming fall production, “Murder at Checkmate Manor,” is promising to be one of the most technically challenging shows yet, and
therefore it might usurp “Lewis and Clark” as my favorite. Outside of the ASOC productions I think “Pippen” is probably my favorite musical. What do you love about community theater? The people. I get to meet and interact with such variety of people from all walks of life that share the same passion I do and I otherwise would never get a chance to befriend. What is your most embarrassing theater moment? I was in the Longmont Community Theater production of “The Elephant Man,” and I had to wear a bald cap with a tuft of hair at the top in the roll of a conehead. After that experience I realized that I preferred to stay behind the scenes. Are you involved in the local art scene in another way? At this time, no. Unless you count singing at some of the
local karaoke hot spots from time to time. I hear you’re an ASOC production committee member. What does that mean? It means I get to be among the few to find out first hand, and help decide, what shows and events we are bringing to the area. It is quite a fun experience to be a part of something like that. When you’re not manning the ASOC lights, where can you be found? Usually I can be found at home taking care of my wonderful six-year-old son. What do you like about living on the North Coast? There are so many things I love about this area. The colors in the spring when all the rhododendrons bloom is probably among my favorite things. The people here, the whole atmosphere and attitude of the locals – it all makes me proud to now call this area home.

written. The “Heartsick” series is currently in development at FX. Gretchen Lowell wreaked havoc through the first three novels in the Heartsick series that co-stars Portland police detective Archie Sheridan. In 2012’s “Kill You Twice,” Lowell is back, and she’s better and badder than ever. Locked away in the Oregon State Mental Hospital, Lowell divulges tidbits of her early life and may provide clues to current murders taking place in the Rose City. In Lowell, author Chelsea Cain has created a killer every bit as memorable as Hannibal Lecter, and the twisted cat and mouse game with detective Sheridan provides dark humor and a loveable cast of characters. Cain was born in Iowa City, Iowa, and spent her early childhood years in a hippie commune. Her family later moved to Bellingham, Wash., where Cain said she always had a fascination with the macabre.

Born and raised: I was born in Boulder, Colo. and grew up along the front range just outside of Longmont, Colo., where I was privileged to be a part of an amazing technical theater program at Skyline High School. Lives now: I currently reside just south of Astoria. How did you first get involved at the Astor Street Opry Company and what do you do there? I was “Shanghaied” into the ASOC when I met some of the volunteers at the Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival a few years back and asked if they needed any help backstage or with lighting. I received a call from Judith
