Cannon Beach American Legion holds craft bazaar CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach American Legion Auxiliary will hold its annual craft bazaar and bake sale from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, July 30. This event is the Auxiliary’s biggest fundraiser for veterans in Oregon’s four VA hospitals. Proceeds directly bene¿t veterans, not hospital administrators. As usual, the fair will be held both inside and outside of the American Legion Hall, which is located at 1216 S. Hemlock St. in midtown Cannon Beach. The indoors will focus on vendors with varied crafts plus a huge bake sale.

coast

Last year’s bake sale — which highlighted pies, pies and more pies, plus cookies, breads, bars and more — raised more than $1,000 for veterans’ hospital funds. A ring of craft vendor tents — again, with a variety of hand-crafted products — will circle the American Legion building outside, so that shoppers can stroll around and shop. Crafts include jewelery, birdhouses, elaborate wooden toys, fused glass, quilted products, Chinese bonsai trees, hats and purses, cook books for men, shell wreaths and much more.

tiny features on the birds on the beach! That’s just the way they look.” “Because I like to work on small pieces, my favorite part is being able to see the fruits of my labor in as little as 15 minutes,” Gebhart says. “The seascapes continue to call me as I live near the ocean and am able to work in the open, plein air, or from my many photos taken on beach walks.” Gebhart creates mattes from cardboard and end pieces and is glad to participate in recycling in her craft.

A framed watercolor of Cannon Beach by Linda Gebhart.

A career as a high school math teacher demanded most of Gebhart’s time and energy. As

retirement approached, she started to imagine what it could be. Given her passion for decorating and design, she decided to try watercolor as a medium. After a few classes, she fell in love with it. “Clean up was a breeze, and I could come and go as I pleased. It’s great for a multi-tasker like me!” She says. Her advice to aspiring artists is to take up the brush and jump right in. “Whether you paint to sell or paint for the sheer pleasure, it’s a wonderful creative process.”

UNTER’ H S

INN

This rural coastal restaurant and tavern runs a special tradition By MATT LOVE

I

I sat drinking a beer at the longest bar I’ve seen on the Oregon or Washington coasts and listened to a Hunter’s Inn regular talking to another regular with exquisite detail and superb narrative skill about his losing battle with a wily rat he was trying to exterminate. He’d killed other rodents with the usual poison, but this certain rat refrained from digesting it and another, more lethal one. “He wouldn’t touch it. He knew,” said the man, with obvious respect for his adversary. I don’t think he wanted to kill it anymore. I thought it was about the best story I’d heard in a long, long time, and it happened inside Naselle’s Hunter’s Inn on a weekday afternoon. There was a lot more to Hunter’s Inn than the great rat tale, the soothing rustic ambiance or the fact that during the hunting and ¿shing seasons, the establishment’s ¿ve or six rooms are routinely booked. The house whiskey is Canadian Hunter with a new logo of two huskies. It instantly reminded me of my dearly departed husky, so I had to chase the beer with a tribute shot. The whiskey wasn’t all that good, (maybe try it on the rat?), but my husky deserved it after almost 17 years of companionship. Hunter’s Inn also features a server named Nicole, who is an excellent storyteller in her own right.

I noticed a piece of paper taped up behind the bar with a headline that read, “The Wall!!!” and asked Nicole about it. She informed me The Wall contained a list of names of regulars who participate in a Pay it Forward-kind of game. It works like this: when a customer buys another customer a drink who doesn’t want to drink it that moment, the recipient’s name goes on The Wall and they can claim the freebie later. That got me thinking. Could I buy a drink for Elvis Presley and have his name written on The Wall and thus create a tiny private existential mystery in Naselle? I asked Nicole and she went to confer with the owner. No, the person had to be real and alive. Sorry Emily Dickinson, you would have been next. Nicole seemed positively giddy to tell me about The Wall, but then she said, “That’s nothing. You’ve got to hear about The Jar.” Then she walked away to serve a patron. The Jar? Nicole returned and directed my attention to a jar behind the bar loaded with one dollar bills and another one with numbered ticket stubs. The jar had a four-character number written on the label. Nicole told me the game worked liked this: Any customer could write their name on a ticket and have that ticket deposited into the jar. The customer kept the other half of the stub. Every day, a Hunter’s Inn bartender added a dollar to the money jar and then drew

a ticket from the other jar. The ticket’s winning number was listed on the label and never announced. If a customer happened to visit the bar that day, and noticed he had the winning number, and had his ticket with him, then he won the kitty. If the customer wasn’t there, or didn’t see that he’d won (which happened recently), his name went back into the jar.

Hunter’s Inn in Naselle, Washington, runs a lowkey daily raffle in The Jar.

This game had been going for 30 years; the tickets with names on them have never been replaced. In all my years of coastal tavern life, I had never heard of such a tradition. Naturally, I got a ticket and now I’m in The Jar for life. I know I’m going to win, too. “We really should go through and get the dead people out,” said Nicole.

No! Leave the dead alone. They rest immortal inside The Jar in a way an epitaph on a headstone can’t possibly match. 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 website, nestuccaspitpress.com

The 2016 Astoria Open Studio Tour invites the public to meet artists and see demonstrations all around Astoria July 30 and 31 Story and photos By DWIGHT CASWELL

Have you ever wondered what happens between the artist’s idea and the gallery’s painting or print? From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. this Saturday and Sunday, July 30 and 31, almost 50 local artists will invite you into their studios to meet them, see their work, and watch live demonstrations. And it’s all free and a lot of fun. The local arts community is thriving as never before, and this tour is proof of that. The variety and quality of work on display is impressive. There will be long-established Astoria artists, like Darren Orange, Gin Laughery, David Lee Myers and Noel Thomas, as well as relatively recent arrivals on the scene, like Robert Paulmenn and Lam Quang’s HiiH Lights. You’ll also ¿nd other accomplished artists who are new arrivals to Astoria. One of the newcomers to the tour is David McMacken, whose 10th Street studio, Ratz and Company, is in its third year. His exceptional illustrative work is unique in the area, and his career as an illustrator goes back over half a century. His agents peddle his talents, literally, from Chicago to Shanghai, and it is McMacken’s experience that, “Artists need to learn to be businessmen, or you’re not a professional artist.” On display in McMacken’s studio are both paintings and archival prints of his work, which include advertising illustrations, paintings of Astoria and the coast (“Pilot Boat Arrow No. 2,” “Cape Foulweather”), rock ’n’ roll art (He’s got a thing for Frank Zappa, but who doesn’t?), and stuff that’s just plain weird. Among the latter are “Attack of the Killer Chihuahua” and various movie monsters obliterating New York and San Francisco. You can’t ask for a more heterogeneous oeuvre than that. Normandie Hand’s studio and gallery is located in Suite A at 1054

Exchange St. The studio is new, but her work has long been familiar to art a¿cionados on both sides of the river. “Printmaking is the basis of my work,” she says, “and sometimes I do mixed-media on top of the prints.” The media she uses include beeswax, colored pencil, crayons, pens, sumi and acrylic inks, and collage. Hand has a background in marketing but ¿nds that marketing her work is a distraction from the creative process. She has taken a break from the sales end of things to create a body of work for her next gallery show. “I’m very inwardly focused when I’m creating art,” Hand says. “It’s an addiction, a good and positive one.” While working on her prints she listens to Books on Tape because, “It engages the exacting part of my mind, which frees me up to be creative.” Hand’s work can be representational (lots of dogs on paper and two dogs in the studio) or abstract. For the open studio she will be joined by three other well-known local artists, printmakers Kirsten Horning and Gin Laughery, and painter Linden. That’s a powerful combination, and makes this studio a must-see. Another artist not to be missed is Renee Rowe. Her studio is located in the Astoria Art Loft at 106 Third St., where nine artists are participating in the studio tour. Rowe is new to Astoria but not to art. She has managed and owned art galleries, and she moved here when she decided to concentrate on her own artwork. “I absolutely love the quirky nature of the town, and that it’s forward looking and has a past it connects with,” she says. Rowe also likes being a part of an arts community, “being with serious-minded people who are committed to art and doing meaningful art.” Rowe divides her work into “impressionist art and crazy art.” Her impressionist work is primarily of the local landscape. “I’m from

THE LOCAL ARTS COMMUNITY IS THRIVING AS NEVER BEFORE, AND THIS TOUR IS PROOF OF THAT.

the desert,” she says, “and I love the green and the water and the clouds. They thrill me.” Her “crazy art” involves dripping and throwing house paint as well as “metal, varnish, old paper, you name it. I just play.” These three studios represent 14 artists, and the whole of the Astoria Open Studio Tour is just as interesting, exceptional and fun. Check out the map of studio locations as well as samples of each artist’s work on Page 12. Plan your time, or get into the spirit of the thing. Park somewhere in Astoria, start walking to the nearest numbered location, and surprise yourself with art.

JULY 28, 2016 // 15 Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review

Robust, reasonably priced Mexican food truck offers few surprises Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

EL AZADERO

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

I’ve passed the El Azadero truck more times than I can count, and yet I never realized that the food truck offers indoor dining. And, you know, that’s kind of a big deal. There are very few months — nay, weeks, the way this rotten, unrelentingly tepid, gray “summerâ€? has been going — where eating outdoors on the North Coast can be reliably comfortable. All the wind, the wetness ... you know. So, when I pulled into the lot of the former gas station where Azadero’s truck is parked (just west of the Astoria-Megler Bridge) I ZDV VXUSULVHG DQG GHOLJKWHG WR Âż QG the former convenience store full of tables (as well as a makeshift storage). I guess I just assumed it was empty or boarded up. Besides Azadero’s big burritos, that refuge from the weather probably explains the truck’s year-round persistence. Nonetheless, you still order outside. Azadero offers the expected array of tacos and burritos as well a handful of plates accompanied by refried beans and Spanish rice. I asked the counterperson for some direction. “What do you like best?â€? I wondered. “What’s most popular?â€? He returned with the non-answer: “Everything.â€? I pushed. “Come on, you must have a favorite?â€? “I like the chicken, the beef, the pork. Everything is good.â€? OK. Yeah. Thanks. For reasons I can’t wholly explain, I went with the Ya Vaz ($12). ,QGHHG WKH Âż YH GLIIHUHQW SODWHV are all pretty similar — a mix of meats and a few veggies cooked RQ D Ă€ DW WRS ERXQG WRJHWKHU ZLWK melted cheese. I suppose it was the bell peppers that drew me to the Ya Vaz, though meats — including asada, bacon and thin-sliced deli-style ham — greatly outweighed the small cut veggies.

orange habanero peppers quickly had me welling up. The red and green sauces didn’t pack nearly the same punch. The red was dark and smoky, the green thin, dull and almost milky — it almost seemed to evaporate with time. Both were rather mild. I tried a number of the tacos ($1.50 to $1.75 each), served street-style on small corn tortillas, topped with loads of leafy cilantro, diced onions and begging to be dressed further. I most enjoyed the

The Veggie Burrito ($5) was, thankfully, more than just beans and cheese. It was properly portioned with crisp lettuce, a few tomatoes, cilantro, rice and sour cream.

can. The otherwise comforting, bacon-forward, eggy Breakfast Burrito ($5) also featured lettuce, tomato and sour cream, which it would’ve done better without. And, while we’re making suggestions, I’ll add another: I’d love to see some of the plate mixtures make it into burritos — kind of like premium editions.

Discover the bounty of Oregon crops Pop-up farmers market and dinner set for Aug. 4 ASTORIA — Oregon-grown specialty crops will be the focus of a special pop-up dinner and farmers market taking place Aug. 4. The event is part of the Crop Up Dinner Series and Market Showcase put on by the Oregon Department of Agriculture and Oregon State University. The series offers events in ¿ve Oregon communities ² Aurora, Astoria, Hermiston, 3ortland and Medford ² and is designed to bring together local growers, food buyers, chefs and the public. “We are hoping to educate attendees about Oregon specialty crops,” says Julia Turner, an ODA international trade manager who, along with OSU Research Chef Jason Ball, has been orga-

nizing the series. “Oregon produces more than 200 different crops and most of them are specialty crops. That’s pretty impressive. We hope to promote these crops, teach people where they are grown, how you can cook with them, and how they can be enjoyed in various recipes.” The Aug. 4 event in Astoria will take place at OSU Seafood Lab, located at 2001 Marine Drive. The market will start at 5:30 p.m., giving attendees the chance to meet local farmers and learn about specialty crops. Vendors will include Lazy Creek Farm from south of Astoria, R-evolution Farm from Manzanita, Gales Meadow Farm from Forest Grove, Blossom Vinegar from Portland, and more. Fort George Brewery will provide beer, and musician James Clem will perform. After the market, attendees will sit down for dinner. The seasonal menu, crafted by Ball in collaboration with Fort George Chef Jeff Graham, will highlight Oregon specialty crops. The three snacks and eight courses will feature

dishes like barbecued carrots or fermented cucumber salad served with fresh dill and smoked ¿sh. “The purpose of these dinners is to highlight specialty crops, which are de¿ned as fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, and products made from these sources. Therefore a lot of our dishes will be vegetarian. We will have seafood on the menu in Astoria, of course,” says Turner. However, the seafood will act as an accompaniment rather than the star of the dish. The series is funded through federal Specialty Crop Block Grant funds. In Oregon, nearly $2 million is funding projects that help boost the competitiveness of the state’s fruits, vegetables, tree nuts. Attendees will be able to enjoy a variety of these crops largely supplied through donations from commodity commissions, food companies and local farmers. Admission is $20 per person; there are 100 tickets available. Each ticket provides access to the market as well as the full dinner and entertainment. To purchase tickets, contact the Food

But to have a farmers market and dinner happening side-by-side is really cool.”

Anthopleura xanthogrammica

Giant green anemone By LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS Found primarily along the west coast of North and Central America — from Alaska all the way to Panama — the giant green anemone is a favorite for anyone who loves a tide pool. Clinging readily to rocky shores that host intense wave action, these fascinating creatures are very much at home along our local coastline, and the low tides of summer, with daylight at a maximum, offer the perfect opportunity to enjoy them up close. Growing up to 12 inches tall and six inches wide, A. xanthogrammica has a tube-like, columnar body, adorned with a crown of tentacles, which, when open and extended, resembles a flowering dahlia or chrysanthemum. These tentacles, which develop in rings, center around the mouth, and are packed with microscopic stinging cells that release a venom strong enough to paralyze prey or help defend against enemies. Don’t worry: The poison is ineffective on humans, and besides, green anemones prefer to dine on sea urchins and mussels, which they digest very slowly before regurgitating the waste back out through their mouths. Appearing in striking shades of green and bluish-green, the hue of a sea anemone is partly owing to the animal’s unique and symbiotic relationship with a specific algae that lives inside its gut. The algae is allowed to thrive and flourish, and the anemone, in turn, takes extra nourishment from the plant’s

process of photosynthesis — all in all, a beautiful friendship. Sea anemones that inhabit shady or deep spaces in the intertidal zone tend to be much paler than those exposed to direct sunlight. When ocean waters recede and anemones are exposed to open air, they close their tentacular crowns and retreat into a tight little brownish-green

bundle that looks like a round sponge. This action helps protect their delicate interior as well as conserve much-needed moisture until the tide turns again. Mostly a solitary creature, giant green anemones do occasionally appear in groups, and though they can move slowly, using a sort of muscular foot, they tend to stay in one place for their entire lives. In the wild, that can be as long as 150 years. To learn more about local tide pools, visit oregontidepools.org, and remember: When it comes to these fragile environments, it’s easy to “love them to death.” Look mostly with your eyes, and never, ever, pry an animal off a rock or remove it from its habitat.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE By MATT LOVE

Appelo Archives Center One half of Naselle’s version of Samuel Beckett’s tandem in “Waiting for Godot” sat on a bench in front of the library. He was, of course, waiting, but this being modern existential times, he was waiting with his phone, scrolling, scrolling, waiting for someone or something to show up — on his phone. That’s the new Godot these days. I was waiting too, for the library to open, but I had the time wrong so I had an hour to burn. I asked the young man if there was an attraction in the area to visit and expected him to suggest the nearest convenience store for a corn dog and

energy drink. He looked up from his phone and said, “Appelo Archives Center,” described it as a museum, and gave me directions; it was just down the road. I thanked him and headed out while he kept on scrolling. A few minutes later I walked inside the Appelo Archives Center and soon came to discover one of the more charming and personalized local history museums I have ever visited. Not only does it present the pioneer history of the NaselleGrays River Valley area, but it offers a photography collection, genealogical research,

superb lending library, maps, a bookstore and all things Finnish heritage, including nearly 2,000 Finnish-language books, and a weekly Saturday morning screening of Finnish and Swedish films. I think my favorite exhibit might have been the display of vintage wedding dresses, one made from an old silk parachute! The Appelo Archives Center is the brainchild of Carlton E. Appelo, now a resident of Astoria, who ran the local telephone company for decades and had a tremendous passion for collecting, writing and publishing local history. The Center is located in what used to be the Appelo-owned general store and gas station; walking through it is a unique historical experience all of its own. The Center is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and from 10 a.m to 2 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. There’s probably no better time to visit the Center than during the annual Finnish-American Folk Festival in Naselle. This year’s festival runs from Friday, July 29 to Sunday, July 31.
