CANNON BEACH — Visitors to picturesque Cannon Beach will get an inside peek at true coastal living during the 10th annual Cannon Beach Tour of Homes and Gardens Saturday and Sunday Sept. 14 and 15. The tour, put on by the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum, will feature 12 beach dream homes, vintage cottages, iconic lodging facilities and gardens. In celebration of the 10th annual tour, attendees will have the opportunity to revisit homes and gardens from past years. It will be a “tour through time,” says Dick Frank, a Seaside resident and former cottage tour lecturer. “We think of those times as simpler, and I hope people have a greater appreciation that life is difficult any time, but the human spirit and pleasure in life and family and nature allowed people to get here.” A pre-tour lunch and lecture, beginning at noon Saturday, Sept. 14, will be hosted at the Tolovana Inn, which is the site of the old Warren Hotel. The Warren brothers constructed the Warren Hotel in 1911. One of their first guests was Oregon’s 14th governor, Oswald West. At-
tendees will enjoy learning about the history of Cannon Beach and Tolovana. The lecture will be given by “Cannon Beach Cottages” author Jill Grady. Grady, among others, was instrumental in starting the tour. The events on Saturday, June 14 will continue with a tour of home and gardens from 1 to 5 p.m. Following the tour at 6 p.m., attendees are invited to mingle with homeowners and other tour-goers for a wine reception at the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum, located at 1387 S. Spruce St. There will be live music, door
prizes and a hanging quilt made by the talented Marilyn Dwyer. At 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 15, Tolovana Inn will host a brunch catered by Culinary Capers of Seaside. The brunch will feature a garden presentation by Cannon Beach landscape architect and gardener Beth Holland. Seating for the luncheon and brunch is limited; tickets are on sale now and must be purchased no later than Sept. 9. Tickets for the each event are available to purchase separately. Luncheon and lecture tickets are $20, Home and Garden Tour tickets are $30 (to include the Saturday post-tour reception,) and brunch tickets are $10. Tickets are available now by phone or online. Weekend event packages are available, with a discount for museum members.

Story by AMY RYDING
Knappton Cove Heritage Center
O
Historical layers of quarantine station, cove itself continue to yield reminders of the past On November 30, 1904, after a tumultuous 26-day voyage from Japan, the British steamship Elleric arrived in Astoria carrying unwanted cargo in the form of the smallpox virus. The ship’s captain and a fireman were both stricken. The Morning Oregonian reported that Dr. Baylis Earle of the U.S. Marine Hospital Service (now the U.S Public Health Service) boarded the vessel after it anchored. After an inspection, Earle quickly sent the Elleric across the river to the Columbia River Quarantine Station near Knappton, Wash. According to Earle’s annual report, the sick men were then isolated and “the entire crew were bathed, and their effects and the entire vessel disinfected in accordance with the regulations. All the crew, together with the entire quarantine force, were vaccinated, and those failing to take were revaccinated after four days’ observation.” Known as the “Ellis Island of the Columbia,” the quarantine station was established in 1899 to help keep disease from entering the U.S. by the inspecting all inbound ships and their crews and passengers. In the 1800s, unsanitary shipboard conditions were a considerable problem, and ships often became giant petri dishes in which disease bred and spread. Dubbed the “Health Guardians at the Gate” by the Knappton Cove Heritage Center, quarantine crews conducted their own brand of germ warfare. Often risking their health to protect the nation, they battled to keep the bubonic plague, smallpox, yellow fever, typhoid and cholera from entering the country through its ports. Knappton Cove and other quarantine stations, or “pesthouses” as they were known, were credited with cleaning up the shipping industry because ship owners soon realized that unclean ships cost money. Owners had to foot the bill for fumigation and return passage of anyone deemed too unhealthy to stay in the country. Better health practices and the increase in inoculations saw the decline of quarantine

centers in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Nancy Bell Anderson, director of the Knappton Cove Heritage Center, estimates that by the time the station closed in 1938, about 100,000 immigrants had passed through health inspection at the Columbia River’s “pesthouse.” “These smaller ports met the same qualifications and did the same thing as Ellis Island did, and we think people ought to know about that,” Anderson says. Knappton Cove is special in that it may be the last remaining government-run quarantine station on the West Coast. Many of the pesthouses were burned after they closed down for fear of what vermin might still be lurking in walls and floorboards. After the station closed, Knappton Cove sat quietly until 1950, when Anderson’s brother, Tom Bell, read a notice in the paper stating that Fort Columbia was to be sold. Thinking it might be a worthy investment, he wrote for the brochure. Although he missed out

Junior Archaeology Day 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 20
Nancy Bell Anderson, director of the Knappton Cove Heritage Center, estimates that by the time the station closed in 1938, about 100,000 immigrants had passed through health inspection at the Columbia River’s ‘pesthouse.’ on that purchase – the property was given to the state for a dollar – his inquiry got him on a mailing list, and six weeks later a listing for the quarantine station arrived in the mail. Their father, Clarence, and a partner purchased the property and turned it into a sport fishing camp. A few years after the fishing camp closed, Anderson and her family decided the historical significance of the property deserved to be honored. In 1995, they took on the guardian mantle and turned the station into a nonprofit museum, protecting an important part of history by telling the story, not just of the quarantine station, but of Knappton Cove itself. The cove has a richly layered history. According to Anderson’s book “The Columbia River’s ‘Ellis Island’: The Story of Knappton Cove,” oral tradition indicates the site may have once served as a temporary camp and fishing ground for the Chinook Indians. It is also on the officially designated Lewis and Clark Canoe Trail. The explorers visited the site on November 10, 1805. “Tom always says they stopped here for peanut butter sandwiches,” Anderson jokes. From 1876 to 1897, the Eureka and Epicure Packing Company ran
EVENTS WILL INCLUDE: • Two hands-on “dig” projects for kids • An archaeology scavenger hunt with a small prize for completion • Bottle rubbings. Courtesy of the Pacific Northwest Living Historians, Lewis and Clark will also be on hand to answer any questions about what they might have eaten that day at Knappton Cove in 1805.
Knappton Cove Heritage Center The museum is open 1 to 4 p.m. Saturdays during the summer and by appointment. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.knapptoncoveheritagecenter.org a cannery at the cove. Those historical layers continue to yield solid reminders of the past. At low tide, artifacts can often be found: shards of Chinese ceramics from the days of the cannery, pieces of dishware from the U.S. Marine Hospital Service, and porcelain doll pieces. Blue trade beads from the 1700s were once found in a mole hill on the property. Knappton Cove Heritage Center is inviting kids to “come explore the layers of history” on its first ever Junior Archaeology Day on Saturday, July 20. Anderson’s daughter, Heather Bell Henry, and board member Samantha Steerman, who studied archaeology at Portland State University, have created an afternoon event to give budding archaeologists and future guardians of history an opportunity to dig into the past. It promises to be a fun day of discovery on the Discovery Coast.

Jeff Daly puts photographs, paintings of Columbia River pilots on display – and so much more
Often the first thing professional cameraman Jeff Daly is asked is something like, “Hey, aren’t you the guy from Astoria who filmed that epic footage at the 2005 Masters Tournament when Tiger Woods chipped in after his Nike ball, swoosh logo front and center, hung on the lip of the hole for a couple of seconds?” Or, “Aren’t you and your wife, Cindy, the people who made ‘Where’s Molly?’ that 2007-award winning film about searching for your sister?” The answers are yes and yes. Well, Jeff Daly is at it again. His mixed-media art show, “Wood and Rope,” just opened in Astoria in the atrium of the 14th Street Pilot Station, 175 14th St. (just across the Astoria Riverfront Trolley track next to the Wheelhouse Coffee Company). The major portion of the show centers around Columbia River pilots climbing aboard and disembarking from ships. Working out of a downtown Astoria studio with a perfect view of the Columbia – and of the working river pilots – Daly watches pilots ferried to and from ships every day. The river pilots are the people who steer the commercial and governmental ships (the pros call them vessels) of all sizes, up and down the Columbia River and most of the Willamette “in all kinds of weather, at all hours of the day and night, 365 days a year.” according to the Columbia River pilots website. A pilot is escorted to and from a moored vessel by a skilled launch operator (the driver) on a state-of-the-art pilot boat and closely watched over by a vigilant deckhand (a pilot’s ever-alert guardian). The launch operator nuzzles the pilot boat’s nose inches from the side of one of the 15 different types of cargo, cruise ships or tugs that, by law, require river pilot service. Time and tide, waiting for no one, a ship continues moving along its course as the river pilot physically climbs from the pilot boat up the side of the ship by way of a dangling wood-and-rope ladder. The deckhand’s eye never leaves the pilot until that pilot is safely aboard a ship headed up-river or disembarking from one heading to sea. Smooth waters, roiling storms, day or night – the job goes on. Daly’s “a-ha moment” came while watching the river pilots and their pilot boat crews. “There are often hundreds of millions of dollars (worth of cargo) going up and down the river on the ships
that these guys are responsible for,” Daily says. “The ships are all equipped with radar and all the technical navigational stuff in the world – and the river pilots climb up and down these funky old wood-and-rope ladders.” The danger of the job and those traditional ladders inspired Daly to set out capturing what he observes every day and incorporating items into what became “Wood and Rope.” The show is a compilation of an art collection, hands-on art, film, signage and installation art. There’s an extremely rare 100-foot ladder (one of only two in existence) from a World War II Liberty Ship found mothballed at Tongue Point. Now the
‘The ships are all equipped with radar and all the technical navigational stuff in the world – and the river pilots climb up and down these funky old woodand-rope ladders.’ ladder is used as a hanging backdrop on which artwork is displayed. There are photos of giant red, brown and ochre rusted ships’ sides with antiquated-looking dangling wood and rope ladders – the very ones the river pilots go up and down. Some are then painted; look closely for miniscule pieces of wood, cotton and twine. The additions work so well that they force the viewer to slow down and take it all in. And wonder of wonders: Viewer touching is encouraged! Nothing is hands off. A 10-minute video explores a river pilot’s journey from a downtown Astoria dock to a hulking ship’s side and back again. It captures what these pilots experience in calm waters and in turbulent storms, in the light of day and in the cold dark of night. A trailer of it is available on YouTube at http://tinyurl.com/trailer-wood-rope. If Daly isn’t on site, step next door into the Wheelhouse Coffee Company. The staff can answer most questions relating to the show, and you can get
something to eat or drink and take it with you into the atrium. By blending the art pieces with the venue space itself, the total becomes as much of an experience as the art. Along with his wood and rope work, Daly has long had a passion for collecting old signs and cartoons, so he’s included photos and originals by, among others, Arvi Ostrom, operator of Uniontown’s Snug Harbor Beer Parlor (now Union Town Cafe) for 36 years. Never seen without pencil and paper, Ostrom’s back bar was likened to an art gallery. And the work of Arvid Wuonola, a prolific local sign painter for more than 57 years and creator of “The Elliott Hotel Good Beds” building logo, is also part of the show. People, local history, living history and art are all part of the mix. “I will always be tweaking the show and its look depending on my attitude,” Daly says. “People have been loaning me pieces of artwork and signage, so it will be a constantly evolving presentation.” The show is open for viewing 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday and Sundays during the Astoria Sunday Market. Ropes and Ladders opens over the Fourth of July holiday and will continue through the summer.
Jeff Daly has transformed the 14th Street Pilot Station into a gallery space for his art show "Wood and Rope." Much of the art, which includes photos, paintings and historic signs, focuses on the work of Columbia River pilots.
The 14th Street Pilot Station will be filled with an evolving collection of artwork and signage through the summer.
A variety of old signs that once advertised businesses throughout Astoria, painted by Arvid Wuonola, will be displayed in the 14th Street Pilot Station.

market-goer, the venue is perfect. “There’s a great, casual feel here, and I love meeting and talking with the farmers,” she says. “I know almost all the vendors now, and I’ve come to really trust and enjoy them.” The market’s small size keeps the overall tone very friendly, and it’s not uncommon to find neighbors chatting over fresh lemonade or sharing a meal from one of the mobile kitchen vendors while relaxing to live music. The Little Sprouts Club keeps kids busy with crafts and educational fun, and weekly cooking demonstrations accompany free recipes.

Flavors of summer abound at six local farmers markets Story and photos by LYNETTE RAE McADAMS
A place still exists where tomatoes actually taste like tomatoes, where a melon is never asked to make an unseasonable appearance, and where the honey smells of home and flows on the tongue like sweet summer lava. More and more Americans are setting watchful
eyes on how and where their food is sourced, and farmers markets across the nation are rising up to meet demand for fresher, better tasting, more nutritious products secured closer to home. Here in the Columbia-Pacific region, where the natural bounty is legendary, there’s no better season than summer to showcase our area’s specialties, and with six different local markets, we’re never more than a day’s wait away from heaps of fresh food, hand-crafted gifts with local flair, and more than just a little family fun. 12 | July 4, 2013 | coastweekend.com
River People Farmers Market Thursdays, 3 to 7 p.m. (through Oct. 3) 1343 Duane St., Astoria www.riverpeoplemarket.org All coastal residents (and savvy visitors) know the best day to gather groceries is Thursday, before the weekend crowds arrive, and this market fits perfectly into that plan. Located in the parking lot of Astoria’s Indoor Garden Supply, this intimate affair hosts between 10 and 15 booths, offering fresh produce, pasture-raised meats, scrumptious baked goods, local seafood, edible plant starts, and lovely cut flowers. For local residents like Mary Lou McAuley, a frequent
Beach, explains: “We want the market to enhance our downtown area, not distract from it or take customers away from local merchants. The items here aren’t in nearby shops, and speakers and kids’ activities all work together to reflect what else is happening around town.” Themes like Bees and Blossoms sport demonstrations from the Bee Keeper Club, and kids can participate in pollination activities or join in the fun of games like Honey Nectar Relay. Manzanita Farmers Market Fridays, 5 to 8 p.m. (through Sept. 20) Corner of Laneda and Fifth streets, downtown Manzanita www.manzanitafarmersmarket.com At five o’clock sharp, the pleasant roll of a drum signals this market’s opening, and awaiting shoppers flood through the gates to get a fair shake at some of the loveliest goods on the coast. Don’t be fooled by the small size; with eight years of practice, every inch of this downtown corner is brimming with the colorful fruits and labors of local farmers, ranchers, wine-makers and artisans, alongside stalls with ready-to-eat dinners and desserts, hand-crafted soaps, herbal remedies, and a smattering of nonprofit information booths. Live music adds a festive sprit, and the market’s 35 vendors treat each other more like family than competition. Welcome additions to this year’s market include a knife-sharpening vendor (knives and scissors sharpened on the spot; short turnaround for garden tools) and fresh, locally roasted coffee. Bring the kids for the craft booth, but leave the dog at home (or in the pet-sitting area outside the market).

Here you’ll find more hand-crafted items than produce or plants (there is one very large fruit and vegetable stand and a small nursery vendor), but the picturesque setting, friendly artisans, and varied street musicians more than make up for whatever fresh edibles may be lacking. Art, clothing, jewelry, glasswork, photography, metal arts and more mingle with ready-to-eat foods like smoked salmon chowder and delectable mini-donuts fresh from the fryer. Prepared foods, like jams and honey, add to the mix, while patrons stroll with booths on one side and eclectic shops, restaurants and art galleries lining the other.

Astoria Sunday Market Sundays, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (through Oct. 13) 12th Street, downtown Astoria www.astoriasundaymarket.com As the second largest of its kind in Oregon, this mother of markets needs no introduction. Up to 200 vendors flank three blocks through the heart of downtown Astoria, peddling all things Northwest-made and grown, and attracting more than 2,000 visitors each week. Produce booths and flower stalls bump elbows with arts and crafts, as fabulous smells from an international food court waft through the city streets. Live music tops the charts, making this event one of the region’s most popular attractions.

Now in its sixth season, 20 all-food vendors pack the square of a midtown parking lot, with music, restaurants and nonprofit booths opening at 1 p.m. and all others following at 2 p.m. Produce, fresh meat and seafood, wine, organic cheeses and baked goods abound, along with a steady stream of local residents. “This market has a genuine community feel,” says Teresa Retzlaff, owner of 46 North Farm and market vendor. “It’s an

opportunity for people to make a real connection with their farmer, and I love answering questions about what we grow and how we grow it.” Selling plants, produce and flowers at her stand, Retzlaff keeps a keen eye on what’s hot and what’s not. This year’s favorite? “Kale is all the rage, but Komatsuna, a Japanese spinach, is gaining ground. It has a beautiful, tender bite, and a mild, mustard-green flavor without the spice. It’s hearty through the frosts, too, so it’s a good choice for most coastal gardens.” Retzlaff sells the leafy vegetable as a start or by the bunch, but staying true to coastal market charm, the friendly advice is always free.

R
ecntyIl w R asent rtae ni gu est fro m ou tof town, and their visit happened to coincide with the day of the week that I often eat out as The Mouth. Wanting them to enjoy their stay here at the coast and to get a sense of the local cuisine, I thought long and hard about which local eatery to try. I wanted somewhere that was cozy but upscale, charming but elegant, and with fresh, local ingredients prepared in tasty and artful combinations. I decided to take my guests to lunch at the Pacific Way Bakery & Café in Gearhart, and it was exactly the kind of experience I was hoping for – a restaurant that says “Oregon coast.” My guests and I sampled a broad selection from the menu. I was immensely pleased with my choice of a light but filling grilled Thai chicken salad: a tenderloin of chicken marinated in a sweet Thai chili sauce over chilled Yakisoba noodles and topped with crispy wonton strips, roasted peanuts, water chestnuts, sesame seeds, cucumber, peas, bok choy, and sweet peppers. The sweet Thai chili sauce was the perfect mix of tart and sweet, and I wished for more of it; the soba noodles seemed a bit bland. The overall flavor profile though, with the chili sauce, cucumbers, peanuts and peas was brilliantly Thai, and it was a nice departure from a typical salad. Another exotic meal at the table, a Greek gyro sandwich, was equally appealing with a terrific blend of flavors. Thin but succulent slices of slowroasted beef were stuffed into soft Greek pita bread with a tangy tzatziki cucumber yogurt sauce, cabbage, onions, tomatoes and feta cheese. I marveled at how such a generous portion of beef could some-

how taste so light and refreshing. The cucumber yogurt sauce was creamy, pleasantly spiced and bright. Lovers of traditional sandwich fare will be charmed by the Pacific Way’s take on a French dip: thinly sliced, slow-roasted beef with gorgonzola cheese, grilled to perfection in a panini press and served with fresh au jus. I’ve made French dips at home many times, and in all these years I don’t know why it never occurred to me to swap Swiss for gorgonzola. The salty assertiveness of the gorgonzola brought out the mellow sweetness of the beef, and the pleasing crunch of the bread straight from the panini press was a perfect marriage of flavors and textures. A Reuben sandwich proved just as delectable as
the French dip. I appreciate that Pacific Way uses thinly shaved pastrami for their version of the Reuben, which I much prefer to the chewy slab of meat often found in other versions of the sandwich. The Swiss cheese and sauerkraut were spot-on, and the sandwich had the same pleasing panini crunch. My only quibble with the dish was that the Russian dressing seemed a bit sweet and could have been tangier for my liking. Each sandwich was served a choice of French fries, chips, fennel slaw or a small green salad. Whenever a restaurant has taken great care to ensure that their side dishes are as creative and delec-
mouth
table as the main course, I find it noteworthy; the fennel slaw was surprisingly delicious. I say “surprisingly” only because I am not particularly fond of fennel, but its light licorice flavor blended beautifully with the cabbage slaw, and a light sprinkling of celery seeds provided a bit of extra flavor and crunch. When I saw our server bring dessert to another table, I decided I couldn’t pass it up and indulged in a hot chocolate cake soufflé with vanilla ice cream. With a texture somewhere between cake and pudding, the dense dark chocolate cake dessert was the perfect capper to an incredible meal. Pacific Way Bakery & Café is an exceptional eatery: a little something for everybody and a lot of great flavors.

The artists have been carefully selected so there will be a wide variety of art styles for visitors to view, enjoy and purchase. Spinning yarn will be demonstrated as well as exquisite knitted items, metal sculptures, photography, watercolor and acrylic paintings, greeting cards, jewelry, glass and driftwood art.

donated a piece of art to be raffled off during the fair – which means a lot of nice prizes. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. Proceeds benefit the schoolhouse restoration and maintenance fund. The club takes pride when visitors mention the well-tended appearance of the old schoolhouse and the adjoining grounds. Maintaining this charming and welcoming place is solely made possible by donations, rentals and fundraising efforts like the Artisans Fair. Often a visitor will share information and memories about a wedding or reception attended or a relative who actually went to school there.
The schoolhouse is still available for community functions throughout the year. During the summer, the grounds are a quiet place to linger for a leisurely picnic or to soak in the soothing peacefulness and watch birds fly. Two picnic tables provide a convenient place to sit and enjoy the surroundings. The Oysterville Community Club’s focus is the restoration and maintenance of the old schoolhouse as well as providing a community gathering place. Membership is $10 per year and is open to any and all who are interested in supporting these efforts.

The self-guided tour is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with a reception from 3 to 4:30 p.m. Beverages and refreshments will be served at the last garden on the tour, where the winners of the raffle prizes will be announced.

ASTORIA — The Fort George Brewery will be hosting its annual Liberate the Ales party on the Fourth of July with Portland funk and blues rockers the Resolectrics and the debut of Portland’s Don of Division Street. Music will go on from 6 p.m. and last well into the Astora fireworks display, which starts around 10 p.m. Fort George will release a new beer especially for the party, a fractional IPA dubbed 1/4 of July IPA. At under 5 percent ABV, craft beer drinkers on hand for the party will be able to quaff well into the fireworks. The Resolectrics are celebrating the Astoria release of their debut full-length album “High Water.” A blend of American roots, soulful golden-era classic rock, R&B and folk, the raggedyet-heartfelt harmonies of the quartet portray bluesy riffs alongside swampy grooves, ensuring the band delivers a highenergy rock ‘n’ roll treat. Recorded, produced, and mixed by Pat Kearns at his PermaPress Studios, the band recorded the basics for “High Water” as a unit – live – just as they had performed them during the previous year. It was in this environment that the group, comprised of Tate Peterson (vocals, guitar), John Becher (drums, vocals), Ben Morse (keyboards, vocals), and Andrew Stern (bass), went through only a handful of takes for each track,
workshops at a discount, a newsletter and emails of preservation-related news and events. Membership is open to all. Proceeds from the garden tour will be used to promote the nonprofit organization’s mission: to “preserve, protect, and promote the historic architecture in the Lower Columbia region.” Tickets can be purchased from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on the day of the tour at 17th Street and Grand Avenue in Astoria. Raffle tickets can also be purchased at this time: $1 each or 15 for $10. For more information about the garden tour and the LCPS, call 503-325-8024 or 503-3253245 or visit www.lcpsweb.org

Ronald Thompson plays piano, Jeffrey Reynolds plays violin and Andrew Emlen plays cello in the Columbia River Trio. – SUBMITTED PHOTO
FiveCOLUMBIA Minutes With... RIVER TRIO Can you tell me who plays what? Ronald Thompson plays piano, Jeffrey Reynolds plays violin and I (Andrew Emlen) play cello. Born and raised: All of us have lived in Astoria at some time in our lives; Jeffrey and I (Andrew Emlen) both grew up in the Portland area, and Ron is originally from San Antonio. Ron’s parents still live in Astoria. Live now: Ron is in Vancouver, Wash., Jeffrey is in Portland and I live in Skamokawa, Wash. How did the trio get started? Jeffrey and I have had a duo together since 2004 when we formed Emlen & Reynolds to play a “Music of the Lewis and Clark Era” show for the Lewis and Clark bicentennial. For that show we played violin-cello duets from Thomas Jefferson’s library for the classical half, then changed into buckskins to play trail music, with Jeffrey fiddling while I sang and played banjo. A few years ago I saw Ron accompany a singer who preceded our performance at the Water Music Festival and thought, “Who is this guy? He can play!” I hired him to tune my piano so I could have an opportunity to ask him to join us. What kinds of classical pieces do you choose to play
together? We try to play as great a variety as we can, from Baroque to modern. Sometimes we will pick a theme, as when we put together a program featuring French music. What is your favorite thing about classical music? Reaching the point at which we know the music well and each of us knows what the other musicians are going to do with that music. There is magic in having that kind of ensemble – the music takes on a life of its own. Tell me about a memorable concert. I love to play for my home crowd in Wahkiakum County, in the Pioneer Community Center in Cathlamet, Wash. Familiar faces pack the hall, and they spring to their feet when they love something. In a bigger city, classical music can be found on any weekend. Out here it is something special. It also helps that the Pioneer has a nice grand piano and excellent acoustics. What do you do when you’re not playing music together? Ron and his wife Avanlea are expecting a baby – he’ll have plenty to do. Jeffrey is an outdoorsman and cyclist. I am a natural history enthusiast – ornithology, mycology, geology.

RiverSea Gallery Artist captures wild land, sea and sky ASTORIA — Renowned Portland artist Sidonie Caron will exhibit a series of landscape paintings in a solo exhibition at RiverSea Gallery titled “Wild Land, Sea and Sky.” The show will open Saturday, July 6, with the work remaining on display through July 30. A reception will be held later in the month, 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, July 13. Caron’s abstracted landscapes are awash in dancing color that sweeps the viewer into the pleasure of an immense vista. Caron easily captures the ability of the human eye to take in the vast sweep of a distant view and simultaneously to focus on a pop of color – perhaps a grove of trees in new leaf, a clump of foliage in bloom, a bright glint of sunlight on water. These energetic depictions of land, sea and sky embody the spirit of Oregon’s wild spaces. A figure appears in just one painting in this series, a lone walker nearly engulfed in the wash of tide and sky. A beloved figure in Oregon’s
art milieu, Caron is known for her eclectic body of work due to her tendency to change her style at whim. Her style and subjects have evolved during her career.
Some of her most sought after works are her detailed paintings of oriental rugs, depictions of industrial sites and a series devoted to Portland’s bridges. At times she has delved into abstraction. Caron is driven by curiosity, and, when inspired by something new, she paints that theme until it’s out of her system, then
moves on to her next one. Caron was raised in England and classically trained as an artist in London at St. Martin’s School of Art. She has lived in Portland for many years and was
recently featured on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s “Oregon Art Beat.” Her work is in many public and private collections throughout the United States and has been exhibited in gallery,
university and museum shows. RiverSea Gallery is open daily at 1160 Commercial St. For more information call 503325-1270 or visit riverseagallery.com
