Summit and lower trail are full of small miracles
Little dream places – I think a lot about that relationship, here, trekking along on the high trail to the summit of Neahkahnie Mountain. A wet mist wraps the north side of the mountain. Wraps it as if tiny, hairy-footed gnomes have painted each and every leaf and blade with dabs of viridian watercolor. Flurries of blue sky punch through. $ORQJ WKH ZD\ ZLOGĂ€ RZHUV DUH EXUVWLQJ IRUWK OLNH WLQ\ Âż UHZRUNV $QFLHQW VSUXFH limbs seem enveloped in sleep, coma-like from the dangly weight of thalo-green moss and baby-hair lichen.

Along the thin and steep trails that snake the mountain, conversation about life, science and God unfold in a constant pulse of give and take, in intellectual exploration between gulps of fresh mountain air. In between, we take in other sounds: the rubbing of limbs as soft coastal winds warble between tree tops. The broken-glass call of an eagle tumbles, earth bound. A four-legged animal – big or small – rattles in the thicket. Finelaced dew drops are dropping like angel hair. But rarely do we hear the sounds and sites of civilization. The view from the summit inspires VRPHWKLQJ FORVH WR GHYRWLRQ 2GGO\ , Âż QG as much pleasure in the small miracles along the lower trail. Let’s call these Little Dream Places.

A small green world fits in the palm of your hand.
Along the way, wildflowers are bursting forth like tiny fireworks. Ancient spruce limbs seem enveloped in sleep, coma-like from the dangly weight of thalo-green moss and baby-hair lichen. The summit of Neahkahnie Mountain offers a tremendous view.
The Tillamook Indians believed their powerful God resided at the top of the mountain. Ne (“place of�) and Ekahnie (“supreme deity�) are direct translations of their language. This land was their land for aeons. These Natives shaped an existence from land and sea but never took too much. Common respect for place prevailed, and their songs and chants spoke to thanksgiving. Some believe that Sir Francis Drake buried gold on the steep cliffs above the ocean. A friend describes scouring in his youth the cliff and forests for this gold. None was ever found, of course. What was discovered instead was the joy of exploring the many thousands of acres saved and protected for our exploration and enjoyment. Children learned a love for nature that transcribed their adult lives.

The next art walk is from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2 at businesses, shops, boutiques and dining establishments located between Holladay Drive and Broadway in the historic Gilbert District of downtown Seaside.
“Among the Flowers” by Zemula Fleming at SunRose Gallery.
“Pacific Dunes” by Morgan Soller, showing at Seaside Coffee House.
T. Anjuli’s No. 5 N. Holladay Drive T. Anjuli’s features paintings by artist Billy Lutz, whose work reflects a sustained examination of spirituality and collectivism. “From now on, one cannot escape or deny that there is more going on in present tense than just the world spinning and us moving about on its surface,” he says in his artist statement. Seaside Coffee House No. 3 N. Holladay Drive Artist Morgan Soller, who also operates MoJo Art & Custom Screenprinting, will show detailed colored pencil and ink drawings. Fly the Coop 10 N. Holladay Drive Fly the Coop enters its first art walk as an antique store featuring repurposed, re-made and recycled one-of-a-kind products. Original furniture is hand painted.

Seaside artist Andrew Gunthardt, showing at Beach Books, is inspired by black and white photography, blues, jazz and fashion.
Wise Guys will feature photography by Boyd Holloway. His work combines texture, graphics and other elements. Fun fact: The artist also restores old photographs. Beach Books 616 Broadway Owner Karen Emmerling hosts Seaside artist and surfer Andrew Gunthardt who works in pen, ink and pencil drawings. Gunthardt’s interest in art developed at an early age, and he honed his skills and attended art classes during his high school years. With an eye toward the practical, he earned a structural engineering degree from the University of California, San Diego, and began a career in research in earthquake design. After 10 years as an engineer, he relocated to his wife’s hometown of Seaside and was able to rekindle his love of art and, especially, drawing. Gunthardt’s inspirations are jazz and blues music, rock ‘n’ roll, fashion, and black and white photography. Gunthardt’s trademark detail, texture and shading are accomplished with the most inexpensive drawing tool imaginable: a Bic pen. After you view his work, you’ll never look at a Bic ballpoint pen the same way.
A painting by Lisa Cunningham, showing at Beach Puppy Boutique.
“Spaces Within” by Jan Shield at Fairweather House and Garden.
“Tillamook Head” by Billy Lutz, at T. Anjuli’s.
Beach Puppy Boutique 614 Broadway Pet portrait artist Lisa Cunningham will show work, portraying the heart of every pet by bringing their expressions to life through watercolor.
“Emerging,” features work by Terrie Remington, Linda Garland, Robert McWhirter and Pacific University Professor Emeritus Jan Shield. The works featured in the show are evocative pieces that blur the line between painting and sculpture, and quite literally, move the art outward toward the viewer. “Keep to the adventure of art as part of life,” says Jan Shield. Shield was a full time professor and artist active in Forest Grove art circles, including the Valley Art Association. He also helped develop the Pacific University’s 2,500-piece permanent collection. His “Nest” series sprouted from his fascination with the variety of bird nests he found blown out of trees. Their intricate nature, beautiful inter-latticed composition, and sense of natural wonder started the adventure. Then he realized the word “nest” is not just tied to bird nests, since beavers, bees, silk worms and numerous other living things create nests. Terrie Remington will read a poem titled “Emerging” that ties her art to the mid-summer season in verve and composition. Enjoy live music by Shirley 88; lite bites and adult beverages will be served.
Fairweather House and Garden 612 Broadway Emerging isn’t just another word for new: it can also describe undiscovered new work by established art stars. Fairweather House and Garden’s new exhibit,
A piece by Robert McWhirter at Fairweather House and Garden.
SunRose Gallery 606 Broadway Zemula Fleming, with her beaded and painted mosaic icons, will be SunRose Gallery’s featured artist in this much. Inspired by her travels to Italy, Spain and Peru, Fleming’s panels tell the story about a person of another era, encased in a decorative and jewel-like window. Using historical information as inspiration, she combines the elements of the sacred, the mundane, the fantastic and the realistic to create her secular, religious and sometimes pagan icons. Light appetizers will be served and live jazz provided by Richard T. and Ray Coffey.
The Gilbert District Gallery 611 Broadway Penny and Dave Bartholet will feature sepia work by vanDyke. Fun Fact: the gallery is a co-op shared by artists from Washington and Oregon. The gallery, too, is celebrating its 10th year and features original watercolors, bronzes, giclee and prints, Native American jewelry, oil paints, greeting cards, nature designs and gifts.
The River Inn 531 Ave. A Part hotel, part gallery, the newly opened River Inn is giving its patrons an art experience “off Broadway” in a show titled “Belonging.” The River Inn features North Coast art in a permanent collection curated Denise Fairweather, owner of Fairweather House and Garden. “The story to be told,” says Denise Fairweather of the art theme throughout the River Inn, “is about the unique sense of belonging found right outside the beautiful hotel property.” During art walk, watercolorist Penelope Culbertson will make an appearance; Necanicum Watershed Council Executive Director Melyssa Graeber will lecture about the connection to the Necanicum River; artist Victoria Brooks will offer a demo in plein air painting; Seaside photographer Neal Maine will speak about local habitats, and Seaside summer resident and artist Paul Brent will speak about the colorful giclees featured in the hotel. A portion of the proceeds from the artwork displayed at the River Inn was donated to the North Coast Land Conservancy.

Clatsop Demonstration Forest and Hiking Trail Miles down the road: 2.8 • 92219 Hwy 202 Every now and then, I hear the call of the woods as opposed to the beach, and the Clatsop Demonstration Forest and Hiking Trail offers an opportunity for me to take a leisurely and educational stroll. There’s just something different about my thoughts while walking in the woods rather than by the ocean, but I can’t seem to delineate the reasons. I don’t even bother trying anymore. Located within a seven-acre parcel managed by the Oregon Department of Forestry, the demonstration forest boasts three trails with several interpretative exhibits that educate the visitor about forestry practices and watershed health. The trails vary in length (longest is half a mile), and one of them winds its way across a stream and through several stands of trees in different stages of regeneration.

Miles: 40 • 11139 Hwy 30, Birkenfeld The Birk, a welcoming roadhouse, is located about 40 miles northeast of Astoria on Highway 202. It’s one of the few buildings along the mostly two-lane road – so if you’re in Birkenfeld, you’re there. An old sign on the side of the building reads “Birkenfeld Country Store – former saloon and dance hall.â€? It was established in 1904. One hundred years later, Mike and Wendy Ingraham bought the old building and have been transforming their vision into a roadhouse. The place is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday and sometimes midweek for music and dinner. My husband and I arrive mid-afternoon on a Saturday. A few cars, a truck and two bicycles are parked outside. Chirping birds, grazing cows and a couple of friendly dogs add to the country setting. Constructed of old-growth timber, the building feels warm and welcoming. With a cheery greeting from the staff and a look at the menu, we make our way to a large outdoor deck. Trellised with hops and bobbing outdoor strings of lights, the spot has great ambiance. In no time we start visiting with a Nevada couple who had arrived on the bicycles outside, a local logger, and two regulars. We devour the famous SmokeHouse burger, a crispy cold green salad and one of the six beers on tap. I want the recipe for Wendy’s balsamic vinaigrette. The Birk was the longest continuously running store in Oregon until last year. Now with great pub food, a full-service bar and live bands that have the place jumping, “We’re pleased with the changes,â€? says Wendy. Both avid music lovers, the Ingrahams have tagged the Birk, “The house of music.â€? Besides the regular weekend hours, check out www. thebirk.com for special mid-week dinner shows. There are beds available upstairs (if they’re not claimed by performing bands). Be sure to inquire before you plan a sleepover. The Birk is also available for private functions. “This building loves being full of people, and we love having them,â€? Wendy says. The Birk T-shirt reads, “It’s not that far.â€? We agree, and it’s well worth the trip. – Marilyn Gilbaugh

HIMANI
Indian Cuisine
W
When I was a kid growing up in Clatsop County, the selection of restaurants in our area wasn’t terribly diverse. Apart from standard American fare, there were a few Chinese restaurants, a few pizza parlors, and maybe a Mexican restaurant. In the last few years, Astoria has experienced a bit of a cultural renaissance, bringing wonderful culinary diversity to our area – there’s a sushi restaurant, a Bosnian restaurant and even a falafel cart, for goodness’ sake! For this week’s eating excursion I sampled the offerings at Himani Indian Cuisine, yet another restaurant that is helping us develop a better cultural food landscape. On some days, the restaurant is closed between lunch and dinner. I arrived at ¿ve o’clock on the dot, the time the restaurant was to reopen; I often like to catch a restaurant at the beginning of their service, and in the busier summer months I also try to beat the rush. I waited outside for several minutes, though, and a growing crowd of diners was congregating, all of us peering into the windows and wondering if perhaps the restaurant, for some reason, wasn’t going to open. Finally, though, it did. It was a rare, hot day in Astoria, and the space was stiÀingly hot. A large fan was brought in to help cool the space, but I found the strong Àow of air from the fan to be distracting, especially considering that I had to hold my napkin down so it wouldn’t blow away. I ordered an appetizer platter with pakoras, samosas, baji, and bonda. To quickly bring you up to speed, if you are not familiar with Indian food, pakoras are vegetable fritters dipped in Chana Àour and fried. 6amosas are pastries stuffed with spiced potatoes and peas, and bonda are savory, deep-fried dough balls. Baji comes with a choice of spinach or potato dipped in garbanzo batter and deep fried.
Overall, I was very impressed with the quality of the items on the platter. The bonda were my favorite item, although I wish the menu could describe them more enticingly than saying they are deep fried dough balls, although I suppose that’s what they are. They are crisp on the outside but tender and chewy on the inside, delicately spiced, and not at all greasy, considering how they’re prepared. The baji was also very tasty, and for non-Indian food eaters, I would liken them to something along the lines of tempura. I was not particularly fond of the samosas, as I didn’t care for the potatoes inside, but the other diners at my table all seemed to enjoy them. An order of naan, a traditional, leavened

Àat bread baked in a clay oven, was also ordered but never arrived. Despite mentioning it to our server twice, it still never made it to our table, although I was charged for it on my bill. After I pointed out this discrepancy to our server, the charge was reversed. A mixed grill sampler platter seemed like a good way to sample several different offerings, including some popular Indian favorites, such as Tandoori chicken, which features chicken marinated in Tandoor spices and yogurt and baked in a clay oven. I found the chicken to be bland, though, and instead of being very tender, which is what the clay pot baking process usually accomplishes, the chicken was dry and overdone.

Chicken tikka masala was much better, a chicken breast marinated in yogurt and spices and simmered in a creamy tomato sauce. I enjoyed the punchy Àavor pro¿le lent from the tomatoes, and the cream in the sauce was rich and ¿lling. 6erved with rice, the dish was above average, and on a return visit I would order it on its own. A house special kebab of lamb marinated in mint sauce and grilled in a clay oven was also included on the platter. I love lamb. I could expound for some time on the subject, but I’ll quickly sum up by saying it’s a beautiful meat. For my tastes, though, there are certain dos and don’ts in terms of preparation. Like venison, lamb can be very lean and lacks marbleized fat, but often has a layer of tallow around the outside. When preparing lamb, I like to remove much of the tallow, depending on the method I’m using to prepare it. Those who don’t like lamb often describe it as having a “gamey” taste, and I believe this comes from too much tallow being left on, which then picks up a variety of Àavors that are sometimes unappetizing. Charred tallow, to me, is a taste that could turn you off lamb forever. Lamb is also best, in my opinion, when served medium to medium rare. I did not care for the lamb kebab, which I found tough and overdone and with too much tallow left for my taste. The mixed grill platter was also to include shrimp, but when the platter was served, we were told they were out of shrimp, so they substituted more lamb instead. As this was just an additional serving of something I didn’t care for, I was a bit put off and would have appreciated the option to select something else. On a return visit for the lunch buffet, my experience was, on the whole, more positive, although I feel some improvements, especially in the area of service, are necessary.
ly hot in the restaurant, and the floor was dirty. SERVICE: Our server was friendly and helpful, although I I felt there could have been better communication regarding availability of items on the menu; I never received an item I ordered but was still charged for it. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: The vegetarian options on the menu are many, including several vegetarian curries. DRINKS: Indian coffee and tea, soft drinks, and some traditional Indian beverages, including chai.

Paths meet, cross in ‘Intersections’ Cannon Beach Gallery opens new group show Saturday
Submitted photo by Don Frank
“X Marks Le Spot” by Don Frank.
CANNON BEACH — Intersections is a place where things meet, cross paths and move on. Or, in mathematics, the set that contains all elements of A that also belong to B, but no other elements. To examine this meeting of paths, the Cannon Beach Gallery will host a group show featuring a mix of regional talent titled “Intersections.” The
exhibit will open Friday, Aug. 1 and run to Sept. 1, with an artists’ reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2. The artists’ reception is a time for the public to interact with the artists and gain insight into their process while enjoying light refreshments. The reception is free and open to the public. The artists explore the theme of the show in a variety of mediums including photography, mixed-media collage, printmaking and painting. Featured artists are Liza Jones, Sally Lackaff, Barbara Temple Ayres, Janet Bland, Don Frank, Allyn Cantor, Susan C. Walsh and Marilyn Joyce. Lum’s Auto Center in Warrenton is sponsoring “Intersections” as the exhibit underwriter for August. “When two things cross paths, that’s an intersection,” says Walsh, an artist from Manzanita. “In my drawings, I am strangely attracted to that point where lines cross and how that crossing creates a new shape to the space in which the event occurs.” That reorganization of the space opens up possibilities that were not there before.

Naomi Hooley and Rob Stroup are Moody Little Sister. Hear them play at the Fort George Brewery.

ASTORIA — Some things are just meant to be. When Naomi Hooley moved 3,000 miles from a small town in Alaska, the chances of meeting Rob Stroup, from a small town in Oregon, were pretty slim. But it happened. And from the moment they met there was musical chemistry. Hooley is a proli¿c songwriter with a notable style and vocal signature. The press has called her voice “cool and powerful” and her songwriting “masterful.” Stroup’s musical background brings a whole other set of sounds and inÀuences. A founding member of Portland’s beloved roots rock com-
bo The Baseboard Heaters, Stroup draws on 1960s rock and classic country inÀuences. Together – now starting to co-write music – Hooley and Stroup cover a lot of ground and meld in a cohesive and polished act. The duo will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3 at the Fort George Brewery. You’ll experience a show delivered with powerful piano and acoustic guitar, combined with foot percussion and amazing harmonies, with a side of story telling.

Find â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Quilts on the Willapaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Raymond woman is featured quilter
RAYMOND, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Willapa Harbor Quilters will host their annual free show, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quilts on the Willapa,â&#x20AC;? this weekend during the Willapa Harbor Festival. The show takes place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2 at Raymond High School. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will feature Raymondâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own Dorothy Gruginski as the featured quilter. Dorothy Bale Gruginski, age 91, grew up in Baleville, where she helped her mother in the kitchen preparing meals for a large family. Her father, George

Two of Walt Gruginskiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nephews, John and Kennie Gruginski, came to live with them, and as the boys grew into men, they were often referred to as her sons.

The three concerts in the series includes an appearance at the Clatsop County Fair at 3 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1. This hour-length concert will preview selections from the full program, which will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 2 at the Astoria Armory. The third performance will begin at 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 3 at the Coastline Christian Fellowship Church. The symphony is pleased WR EH WKH ÂżUVW PXVLFDO JURXS to perform in the newly reopened Armory, a community events center that has a long history of hosting sports, music and other events. It has been closed for many years and served most recently as a storage facility for the Columbia River Maritime Museum. Families with children are encouraged to attend, and this would be a good opportunity to check out the sights and sounds of the Armory building without having to pay an entrance fee. Not all heroes are idolized, acclaimed or even spoken of, but their actions touch the lives of many people every day. According to the sentiments of Daniel L. Boorstin, a prominent American historian, in referring to the unsung, unspoken and largely invisible heroes in our midst, â&#x20AC;&#x153;In our world of big names, our true heroes tend to be anonymous: the teacher; the nurse; the mother; the honest cop; the hard worker at lonely, underpaid, unglamorous, unpublicized jobs.â&#x20AC;? The symphony will perform eight selections in honor of the unspoken heroes at the full-length concerts Saturday and Sunday. The selections include: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Warrior Legacyâ&#x20AC;? commemorating events in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, during the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.

10 Tips on Preserving Foods By BEV ARNOLDY for Coast Weekend
Summer vegetable gardens and bountiful berry crops are great to enjoy right after harvest. But what do you do with more zucchini than you can possibly eat at one time? Besides giving away your bountiful harvest to your neighbors and friends (who may have the same plentiful harvest as you), how can you safely preserve the “fruits” of your labors? Here are my top 10 tips for preserving foods.
1. Why preserve food? There are several reasons: to maintain safe and nutritious food for an extended period of time; to increase the variety of food available year round; to save money; and to create a different form of food. 2. The three most common methods of preserving foods are canning, drying and freezing. 3. The easiest and most cost-effective method to
preserve is to freeze vegetables, fruits and meats. You’ll need a freezer that can maintain the shelf life of the product for a year. Use rigid containers or plastic bags that are designed to contain food in freezers. 4. Some of the advantages of drying foods are the cost, nutritional value, and maximizing storage space. There are several methods of drying: 1) sun, 2) solar, 3) room, 4) oven, 5) microwave oven, and 6) de-

hydrator. Using your oven or a dehydrator are the most reliable methods in obtaining a safe and nutritional product. 5. If you decide to preserve your product by canning, this method requires the most equipment. The equipment list includes a canner (water bath or pressure), jars, lids, rings, jar lifter, lid wand, bubble freer, funnel and timer. 6. The type of canner you use depends on the acidity of the product. Use a water bath canner for high-acid foods (foods with a pH of 4.6 or lower), and a pressure canner for low-acid foods (foods with a pH of 4.6 or higher). It is extremely important to use the correct canner for the type of product that you are canning. 7. High-acid foods include fruits, tomatoes and pickles. Low-acid foods include meats, poultry, fish and vegetables. 8. Avoid these methods of preserving foods, since they’re considered unsafe: 1) open-kettle canning, 2) steam canners, 3) vacuum-packaging machines, and 4) microwave ovens. 9. Follow the preservation instructions exactly! All approved recipes have been sanctioned by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Recipes that you find on the Internet that have not been approved by the USDA are considered unsafe. 10. If your great Aunt Tilly made this scrumptious salsa recipe that she prepared in an open kettle, the resulting product is considered unsafe. Don’t take a chance! If you just can’t live without her wonderful salsa, refrigerate or freeze it.
Learn to ‘Preserve the Taste of Summer’: WSU announces an eight-lesson, online food preservation program for anyone wishing to learn about food preservation and food safety. Designed for beginners as well as veteran canners who want to update their knowledge and recipes, “Preserve the Taste of Summer” provides the most current USDA-approved food preservation recommendations. The online lessons can be viewed at any time and at the pace you choose. You will need a computer made in the past five years and a stable Internet connection. Cost is $25 for the eight lessons. Visit PreserveSummer.cahnrs.wsu.edu to register. For more information, contact Bev Arnoldy at bevarnoldy@ gmail.com or at 503-298-3180. Bev Arnoldy, a WSU food preservation and safety information assistant, will be at the Naselle Timberland Library from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 6. She will answer any food safety and preservation questions you may have as well a test the dial gauge on your dial gauge pressure canner.

Shake until cold and serve in a martini glass. — Recipe courtesy of Ashley Fells, The Voodoo Room, Astoria *The Voodoo Room makes its own habanero-infused vodka on premises by infusing its house vodka with whole chili peppers in a vat. To make your own, submerge a number of habanero peppers in a vodka of your choice. Keep in a clean bottle or other container and store in a cool, dark place for at least a few weeks to let the heat from the peppers flavor the vodka. Remember, the more chili peppers you use and the longer you store it, the spicier the vodka will become. Habanero peppers are extremely hot and any home chef or mixologist should be cautious when using them. Always wear gloves when handling peppers and remember to wash your hands immediately after use.

Coxcomb
[käks•kōm]
noun 1. obsolete. A jester’s hat, fashioned with a red stripe to resemble a cock’s comb 2. archaic. A vain and foppish dandy; a pretentious fool
— cox·comb·i·cal, cox·comb·ic adjective — cox·comb·i·cal·ly adverb
Origin: From the Middle English, cokkes comb, literally, cock’s comb. Variant spelling of COCKSCOMB. First appeared in the mid-16th century. “Then in 1914, there was a flurry of concern about the name ‘Coxcomb Hill.’ There was a proposal that some three hundred acres in the site would be called ‘Astor Heights’ to commemorate the name of the founding father of the city. Historically, since the landing of the Astor Party in 1811, the name ‘Coxcomb Hill’ has prevailed.”
