TRAVELING IN THE GREEN LAND PART 1

By DAVID CAMPICHE FOR COAST WEEKEND

recently reread “Travels with Charley,” the 1962 autobiography written by the great American author John Steinbeck that was given to me by a friend. The plot reminds me of the Simon and Garfunkel song about folks who “walked off to look for America,” people with inquisitive eyes and an appetite for truckin’. In this case, the seekers are Steinbeck and his Standard Poodle, Charley. Earlier this year— more than 50 years after Steinbeck’s volume was first published — my wife, Laurie, and I are crossing borders as well, sidling along rainslogged back roads en route to Seattle and Victoria, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia. We settled anonymously and happily into these eminently indulgent cityscapes. Steinbeck, a man with eyes and ears wide open, spoke of how the American landscape of the 1950s had changed since his childhood, how he couldn’t find what he once knew and loved . (Of course, in his travels with Charley, there were many locations he had not previously explored.) Now, in my late 60s, I can relate. Today, humanity seems indefatigable: It just keeps coming and growing and unfolding and colliding; its size and speed are exhausting. And this is a new century. Most likely, Steinbeck

would not recognize its diversity and technology. Seattle The normally three-hour journey from our Columbia-Pacific nest to Seattle, took five hours on that soggy March day. Traffic was a snarl. Arriving without expectation in downtown Seattle, we parked the car, and accepted the mantle of tourists. Late, we settled into our hotel room after a glass of Northwest wine. Like many tourists, we ate at Ivar’s on the waterfront. The repast was surprisingly good: lovely

plates featuring fresh halibut fillets, black Indonesian rice, asparagus and a beurre blanc sauce. The feast was preceded by the underground tour of the Rain City. Turns out, the undercarriage of Seattle is not so different than that of our own budding River City, Astoria, with the first story

submerged under a second. Both cities were pillaged by fire and rebuilt on pillars. Brick replaced Douglas Fir, and the citizens moved on. We rode the Seattle Great Wheel and did a harbor tour, both firsts for us. In terms of a vista, the sites were illuminating. The sun rose and the water shimmied

with quicksilver reflections. On that unusually clear day, you could count the peaks of the Olympics, over water and under the tapestry of lavender mountains and cotton-white clouds. We walked and walked, and walked some more, refreshed ourselves with a good Irish Guinness in an Irish pub attached to the Smith Tower, once the tallest edifice west of the Rockies, but now, living in outstretched shadows of skyscrapers. Later, we dined in a splendid Italian diner, Assaggio, an establishment rich in tradition and a perfect repose for these two city trekkers. The restaurant was completely unpretentious, and the style of service performed with precision and amicability. Laurie had a sublime lamb shank, slowcooked in a rich stock of wine and herbs. I devoured Pappardelle Al Cinghiale (wide pasta with boar ragu). My brother, Jeff, joined us, and polished off a portion of Osso Buco attached to a marvelous risotto. After a bottle of good Chianti, we were as happy as owls in ancient cedar. One must mention the Seattle Art Museum, a mind-expanding experience featuring, world-class paintings, constant exhibits and permanent collections like the Art and Life Along the Northwest Coast. We’ve seen Picasso here, and marveled at works from Mark Tobey and Kenneth Callahan, a Peninsula resident in his later years. Yayoi Kusama is here next

month (paintings and drawings that seem to “float in a magical place”). Perhaps, the best beer in the city can be had at The Pike Brewing Company. The Finkles (two of the oldest owners and brewers of Northwest microbrew) have become dedicated friends of our Columbia-Pacific homeland. And one wanders. Everyone loves the Pike Place Market and its carnival-like atmosphere. Fine shops and food dot the landscape like hordes of wild mushrooms that crowd our homeland in the fall. This is a wide open invitation to some of the best food in America. All this under the ebbing flood of Puget Sound and its sparkling waters, and the silhouette of Mt. Rainier. Football and baseball: Seattle has some of the best. Music: Seattle makes us proud. We prefer the jazz; Jazz Alley is a city favorite. We sipped splendid white wine and people-watched; you can choose from hundreds of locations from which to do this. Service is generally professional, urban and friendly, and the choices of cuisine nearly endless. We nibbled our way through the market. I always choose the humbows and barbecued pork. And all of this, particularly on a day when the traffic runs like clear racing water, and our destinations remain Close to Home. Next up: Victoria, Washington, and Vancouver, British Columbia

The free event — part of the library’s Meet the Author series — will be followed by a Q-and-A with the audience and a book signing. Arcana, who hosts a poetry program on KBOO community radio and online, has lived in the Pacific Northwest since 1995 but was born and raised in the Great Lakes region. “She writes poems, stories, essays and books, publishing online and on paper; her work has been fostered by residencies and supported by grants, so she’s permanently grateful,” the library said in a release. Arcana worked as a high school English teacher in the 1960s but was “fired for her innovative teaching methods, considered dangerously radical by the local school board,” according to press materials. “She has taught

Watch birds for science MANZANITA — Scientists are calling on beach and bird lovers to help collect data on local nesting seabirds along the Oregon Coast this summer. Local environmental groups — the Audubon Society of Portland, Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve, Haystack Rock Awareness Program and others — will host opportunities to get involved in researching the birds at various sites on the North Coast. From early June through

August, participants must commit to a minimum of twice-monthly bird-watching sessions, each approximately three to four hours per visit. Organizers will work with participants to accommodate their schedules. Scopes will be made available. A training — with free snacks and beverages — will be held 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, June 4, at Cannon Beach City Hall (163 East Gower St.). The event includes a presentation covering seabirds, how the data

informs policy makers, and how people can get involved. For more information, visit the Friends of Cape Falcon Marine Reserve Facebook page (www.nehalemtrust.org/capefalconmr), audubonportland.org/ issues/citizen-science, www. nehalemtrust.org/capefalconmr, and ci.cannon-beach. or.us/hrap.

Acclaimed architect John Yeon subject of Portland exhibition PORTLAND — The Portland Art Museum has launched an exhibition of the work of John Yeon, a celebrated Pacific Northwest architect, planner, environmentalist and historic preservationist. At age 21, Yeon, who died in 1994, borrowed on a life insurance poli-

cy to purchase Chapman Point south of Ecola State Park and thereby preserve a beloved section of the coastline. The exhibition, titled “Quest for Beauty: The Architecture, Landscapes, and Collections of John Yeon,” opened May 13.

“Yeon is most widely remembered as an architect, in particular for a series of innovative houses — most prominently, the 1937 Aubrey Watzek House — that drew an international spotlight to regional modernism in the Pacific Northwest,” the museum wrote.

Beaver art comes to Astoria Art Loft ASTORIA — Following May’s “Beaver Tales” art exhibit in Seaside, the Astoria Art Loft will open an art exhibit Tuesday, June 6, about beavers and their place in the natural environment. From 5 to 8 p.m. June 10, during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk, Jo

Pomeroy-Crockett, the loft’s co-owner, said she “expects to have one or more speakers on hand to talk about the artwork and about beavers’ contributions to the coastal landscape,” organizers said. Before the art walk, from 1 to 4 p.m., the loft will celebrate the show’s opening. A

portion of the proceeds from sales of work in the beaver art show — which features work by adults and children — will benefit the North Coast Land Conservancy. The gallery (106 Third St.) is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

SEASIDE — The Seaside First Saturday Art Walk will be held 5 to 7 p.m. June 3 on Holladay Drive and Broadway Street in downtown’s historic Gilbert District. During the free event, visitors get to see art and meet artists in galleries and boutiques, sip wine and snag appetizers, enjoy artist demonstrations and enjoy live music performances. Moxie, Shine On! 609 Broadway St. Moxie features exclusive handmade jewelry and art. As a member of the Fair Trade Federation, Moxie demonstrates a genial, equitable approach to conducting business. SunRose Gallery 606 Broadway St. Whimsical “quilted painter” Ronni Harris is the June featured artist. Her show, “I See Seaside,” is inspired by her delivering Meals on Wheels through the eyes of an artist. “I deliver to my precious folks, most living with their only companion, their dogs, living in well-loved vacation cottages from the early days in Seaside,” Harris said. She illustrates her vision of that golden time. Her painting process starts with stretching fabric over a wooden frame. She paints the picture and embellishes with embroidery, silk ribbons and other found objects, giving the art a three-dimensional quality. Fairweather House and Gallery 612 Broadway St. The evening marks the opening reception for “ICONIC: An Exhibition,” featuring important quotes crafted by calligraphy artist Penelope Culbertson, oil painter Melissa Jander, exemplary wood sculptures by Mike Brown and introducing Gearhart photographer Dale Veith. Veith, a Gearhart resident and clinical psychologist, uses fine-art photography to model for clients how they might go about finding symbols that remind them what gives their lives meaning and purpose, no matter what challenges confront them.

Melissa Jander’s art is a looser style of oil painting influenced by impressionism, but leaning toward post-impressionism in the style of Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard and Louis Valtat. Naturalist Neal Maine will speak at 6 p.m. about the ecology of the local habitat. The event will also include live music by Shirley 88, lite bites and adult beverages. Beach Puppy Boutique 614 Broadway St. Come see pet portrait artist Lisa Cunningham, who has an “incredible gift for portraying the heart of every pet by bringing his or her unique expressions to life through watercolor,” organizers said. Beach Books 616 Broadway St. The bookstore will showcase selected Oregon photographers in the Loft Gallery. Price Luber’s dynamic black-and-white images contrast with Mark McDowall’s brilliant and colorful landscapes, in a show that presents the world’s natural beauty. Price Luber seeks the hidden lines and images created in nature from light and shadow. He looks in common objects for hidden forms many of us fail to see. He captures this unseen world and unmasks it for all of us, and does so using vintage single-focus film cameras. Mark McDowall inherited camera equipment from his late brother, who was involved in motion pictures. His landscapes are colorful and breathtaking, and his eye for the perfect shot is well-developed — and is, without doubt, reason enough to pay close attention to his emergence on the Oregon art scene.

TALL SHIPS ARRIVE, THE GLAM TRAM GEARS UP, ’80S NOSTALGIA KICKS IN By HEATHER DOUGLAS FOR COAST WEEKEND

t may not be a major anniversary year for “The Goonies,” but the cult film’s 32nd birthday will be observed nonetheless with several days of revelry in Astoria. Two tall ships from Grays Harbor, Washington, that have appeared in big-budget Hollywood films, will sail into the Columbia River to coincide with the festivities. And one of them, The Lady Washington, will offer free public walk-on tours from noon to 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 7; and 1 to 5 p.m. Thursday, June 8, and Friday, June 9. The tours are free but a $5 donation is encouraged. A replica of an 18th-century vessel, the ship, which has appeared in the “Star Trek” and “Pirates of the Caribbean” films, will dock at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. The public can interact with The Lady Washington’s crew members, who will be dressed in period attire and demonstrating what maritime sailors from the 1700s would look like. The historical reenactment makes the experience more immersive so that visitors “don’t just see a bunch of contemporary people in this historic ship,” Zachary Stocks, program development officer of Gray’s Harbor Historical Seaport, said. Meanwhile, the companion ship, The Hawaiian Chieftain, will arrive for private events at Tongue Point; the public can see it from the shore. Though not a Goonies event per se, the floating part-time movie sets have been present for Goonies events before and dovetail with the film’s pirate motif.

“Everyone on our tall ships are real sailors,” Stocks said, adding: “We have fun seeing fans all dressed up in their pirate gear.”

Goonies galore

For the second year in a row, the Oregon Film Museum (714 Exchange St.) will be offering “Shot in Astoria” rides on The Glam Tram, taking film buffs on guided tours of sites throughout Astoria where prominent movies — from “Free Willy” to “Short Circuit” — were filmed. The tram’s owner, Jeff Daly, will sit behind the wheel, while MacAndrew Burns, executive director the Clatsop County Historical Society, narrates the tour, which takes place Saturday, June 10. “It’s the best way to get a fun, relaxing, behind-the-scenes tour of Astoria’s film history,” Burns said. Lower Columbia Bowl’s Cosmic Bowl — held 9:30 p.m. Friday, June 9, and Saturday, June 10 — will “Go ’80s,” playing only 80s music to evoke the Goonies era. At 7 p.m. Wednesday, June 7 — “Goonies Day” — Merry Time Bar & Grill (995 Marine Dr.) will host a Goonies trivia game, which cost $2 per participant and allows four people per team. Winners get cash and Goonies-themed prizes. Historically, the film museum, housed in the old Clatsop County Jail, is a pretty popular draw, not least because the building figures prominently in the film’s opening jailbreak sequence. The building is part of the Clatsop County Historical Society, along with the Heritage Museum, the Captain George Flavel House and the Uppertown Firefighter’s Museum. “Every year the film museum rivals the Flavel House in popularity,” Burns said. “It may very well surpass it and become our flagship property someday.” He added: “To me, it’s exciting. It’s a boon to our entire county. The great thing is that Goonies fans want to see Haystack Rock and stay in Cannon Beach; they want to visit Seaside and surrounding areas. It’s not just an Astoria thing; it benefits us all.”

‘Never say die’

Goonies festivities are a joint venture between the film museum and the Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce. Former Astoria Mayor Willis Van Dusen officially declared June 7 Goonies Day in 2010 during the film’s 25th anniversary. The uniquely Astoria holiday was originally spearheaded by Regina Willkie, the chamber’s marketing director (who has been dubbed “The Goonies Queen”). “Without Regina, Goonies Day would not exist,” Burns said. The excitement of Goonies Day is palpable. Sloth, Chunk and the gang are fictional, sure, but, for never-say-die Goonies fans, the joy and nostalgia are very real. The film museum honors more than 400

movies filmed in Oregon, including such acclaimed flicks as “The Shining,” “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Stand By Me.” Yet “The Goonies,” which received mixed reviews when it was released, casts a spell that remains unbroken. Within the film museum is a place where fans can leave messages for the Goonies. “Originally, we wanted a more high-tech option to allow fans to tell us why they love the movie, but the handwritten messages turned out to be much more powerful,” Burns said. He gets choked up when he speaks of the personal messages fans have left behind. “We get thousands of messages, and some stick out,” he said. “There was one that said: ‘my brother’s all time favorite movie … RIP, Samuel.’” The woman who wrote it had driven from St. Louis, Missouri, to honor her brother. “We’ve got dozens like that,” he said. “Hundreds of people are celebrating birthdays, being cancer free, anniversaries; a lot of people on a Goonies honeymoon. Another of my favorites: ‘My boyfriend proposed to me in front of the Goonies house — I said yes!’ There are hundreds like that.”

Lazy Susan Cafe knows importance of breakfast ritual Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

n my first trip to the Lazy Susan Cafe, it didn’t take long to decide what I’d have: Eggs Benedict. More than perhaps any other meal, breakfast embraces ritual. In the morning, it’s most acceptable — treasured even — to find a favorite and stick with it. It makes sense: When your synapses are still warming up, you want something familiar, comfortable. Adventures can wait. The thought of breakfast routines take me back to my early college years in Eugene. Every Sunday — and often many more times throughout the week, sometimes in lieu of class itself — I’d shuffle the few blocks to Cafe Siena, at the foot of campus, for a plate of luscious, lardy huevos rancheros and a cup of coffee as thick and strong as motor oil. The pattern has repeated itself at other breakfast joints since then. Maybe it’s a breakfast burrito, a scramble or just a coffee and muffin. The specific dish is less important than the warm welcome it provides. Again, breakfast is rarely a time to take chances. There are other aspects of the breakfast ritual that are equally important: speedy, attentive service (keep that coffee coming!) and a bright, easy space. All of these characteristics can be found at the Lazy Susan Cafe, a compact, rustic, woody cabin-turned-restaurant in downtown Cannon Beach. Despite a cramped, open kitchen, the Lazy Susan is quiet, cozy and quick. Teeny tables for two and four guests are packed around the bedroom-sized ground floor, and up a steep flight of stairs in the loft. The menu is made up mostly of eggy breakfasts, waffles and a few brunch and lunchtime

Eggs Benedict

Gingerbread waffle with lemon sauce and pear

specialties (the place closes at 3 p.m.). It’s also worth mentioning, perhaps in bold-faced type: the Lazy Susan doesn’t take credit cards, only cash and checks, which, according to the menu, require the accompaniment of a “check guarantee card.” When was the last time you heard of such a thing? Honestly, what even is a check guarantee card? While I’m sure it’s nice for the Lazy Susan’s servers

and book keepers (as well as the vampiric operators of the nearest ATM), it’s a ridiculous inconvenience in this day and age, one that probably costs the Lazy Susan a fair amount of business. Anyway, about those Eggs Benedict ($12.95): They hit the mark — velvety smooth, rich, salty and gooey. The English muffin beds were lightly toasted, and two slices of deli-style ham covered them like a blanket. The poached

eggs were rippling, begging to burst. The hollandaise, while unremarkable, proffered requisite richness. The accompanying fruit was varied, finely sliced and carefully arranged. Thin slices of ripe pear fanned out like a peacock’s tail above a smorgasbord of apple, grape, orange, strawberry and melon. The omelettes, which make up nearly a quarter of the entire menu, are pretty standard, not too fluffy, milky or French. I tried the My Favorite ($10.75). With mushroom, tomatoes, green onions and cheese, it was mushroom forward. Very much what you’d expect. The potatoes — with their crisp, blackened skins, soft innards and faint herby seasoning — were finely executed. There are daily specials, including quiche and a waffle of the day. Feeling confident that the egg dishes are pretty robust, I went with the waffle, which on this day was gingerbread, topped with a thin lemon curd sauce and another fanning of pears (enough to include fruit in every bite). Waffles include choice of yogurt or whipped cream. I went with the yogurt. Unsweetened, the acids, along with the lemon, offered just enough sharpness to keep the dish within the realm of sweet treat rather than decadent dessert. It’s probably worth noting that it was just a single, medium-sized waffle, which disappeared pretty quickly. It’s not an overwhelming amount of food. Specials include pastries, too, like muffins and scones. I tried the marionberry scone, which eschewed the usual pie-slice shape, opting for a round. It looked too overwhelmed by the purple-blue berries, but underneath was the crumbly, creamy doughy foundation. I could’ve done without the extra sprinkling of the crunchy, granular sugar, though; the tart sweetness of Oregon’s signature berry is enough to carry the day. I dabbled in the lunch menu as well, which includes a few dishes

from left field, like the Mediterranean Seafood Stew and a Hot Seafood Salad. I would happily trade those two, along with the Tuna-Apple Hazelnut Salad ($13.95) — assertively spiced, leaner and cleaner than it was enticing — for a few more breakfast excursions like, say, huevos rancheros or a breakfast burrito. (No shame in my game!) However, I stand wholeheartedly behind the Broiled Shrimp Sandwich. Open-faced with three melted cheeses — Swiss, cheddar and jack — swirling, browned and bubbling with sour cream and green onion, over supple bay shrimp on English muffins, the viscous creaminess was irresistible. I thought of the Broiled Shrimp Sandwich on my final trip to the Lazy Susan. But the breakfast instinct took over. When the server came to take our order, I hesitated, but only for a moment: “I’ll have the Eggs Benedict, please.”

FOR COAST WEEKEND

Albacore [æl•bə•koʊr] noun 1. Also known as the longfin tuna because of its unusually long pectoral fins, the Thunnus alalunga of the order Perciformes is a commercially valuable and ubiquitous species. At home in warm or tepid seas, these moderately sized tunny travel thousands of miles a year in huge, migratory schools and often find their way into a can before a sandwich. Naturally, the albacore tuna lives an average of twelve years, maturing in five. Albacore troll the Oregon and Washington coast

in the summer months, munching on anchovies and sardines. The flesh of fish is the lightest colored known of any of the tuna species. Albacore are also often cut into sashimi or steaks and are a good source of Omega-3 fatty oils Origin: Enters the Portuguese around the mid-16th century as “albacora.” Believed by numerous sources to have arrived at the Portuguese from the Arabic al-bakūrah, which means “young camel.” It is unclear how a word for a lumpy land mammal came to describe a midsize tunny, but what is clear is that al-bakūrah has a secondary, feminine definition and also meant “virgin” or “maiden” in Arabic at the time. Chalk this up to another mystery of the deep. “Oregon Albacore are

fairly small (10-18lbs) and are usually younger than 2 years old. Some smaller boats will pull right up to our front door and unload their catch. Many customers will buy them right off the scales - can’t get any fresher than that!” —Northwest Wild Products website, http://northwestwildproducts.com/ seafood/albacore_tuna “North Pacific albacore begin an expansive annual migration in the spring and early summer in waters off Japan, continuing throughout the late summer into inshore waters off the U.S. Pacific Coast, ending late in the year (late fall and winter) in the western Pacific Ocean, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Southwest Fisheries Science Center.” — Luke Whittaker, “Albacore in abundance for Ilwaco anglers,” The Daily Astorian, July 28, 2016

Design students showcase work during art hike ASTORIA — Students from Clatsop Community College’s basic design class will showcase their spring term projects during an art hike in a local forest Friday, June 2. The projects for the “Shinrin-Yoku Art Hike” have an ecological theme and will be installed along on the trail connecting the college to the Astoria Column. The trail can be accessed from the east end of the lower parking lot. Flags crated by Lives in Transition students will signal the trail entrance.

The project is inspired by the Japanese concept “Shinrin-Yoku Forest Bathing,” a form of healing that involves wandering along a forest trail and spending time in nature, according to press materials. The art hike is also inspired by Marco Davis’ “A Sunday in the Park with Art.” From 12:30 to 2 p.m. and 4 to 5:30 p.m., the event will feature special performances, including belly dancing by Varyin Parham and Allystar Green. Dave Drury, a college guitar instructor,

will help kick off the event by performing on the trail between 12:30 and 1 p.m. In addition, the event will feature the college Rocks

Campaign, an off-shoot of the Astoria Rocks group, in which hand-painted rocks are placed along the trail for hikers to find.

“If you are lucky enough to spot a rock along the trail, you may keep it or relocate it for another hiker to discover,” organizers wrote. The painted rocks have been created not only by the

design students taught by Instructor Kristin Shauck, but by watercolor students, Lives in Transition students, Talent Search middle school students, and creative nonfiction students.

Celebrate the 119th anniversary Jason M. Goodding Memorial Cornhole Tournament honors officer’s legacy of the North Head Lighthouse ILWACO, WASH. — Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission and Keepers of the North Head Lighthouse invite the public to help celebrate the 119th anniversary of the North Head Lighthouse at Cape Disappointment State Park in Ilwaco, Washington. Numerous events will take place to celebrate the lighthouse’s birthday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 3, at Cape Disappointment State Park, 244 Robert Gray Dr. Parking and a free shuttle to the lighthouse will be available at the Cape D Café. Parking is also available at the North Head Lighthouse parking area. A Discover Pass will not be needed for vehicle access to the park that day because Saturday, June 3, is a State Parks “Free Day,” in recognition of National Trails Day. This fun family event will feature music, Sonshine the Clown, an open house at a lighthouse keeper’s residence, a store, a small museum with exhibits related to the lighthouse and surrounding area, guided historical hikes at noon and 1 p.m., cake and refreshments. A special offering will be

tours of the Maya Lin-designed art installations in Cape Disappointment at 3 p.m. Installations will include the cedar grove, the Confluence Boardwalk and the Fish Cleaning Table. The lighthouse is undergoing restoration and is closed for tours at this time. But event

participants may take an easy walk to the lighthouse and enjoy stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and the coast. The lighthouse is now sheathed with scaffolding. By the end of summer, State Parks expects the current phase of restoration to be completed, with more exterior work scheduled to be done — including stonework and stucco on the base of the tower and workroom. The estimated time for completion of the lighthouse renovation is late 2018. The celebration kicks off the North Head Lighthouse raffle, which directly benefits lighthouse restoration. The prize for the raffle is a two-night stay at a keeper’s residence for six, plus dinner for six at the Depot Restaurant in Seaview during their stay. This offer must be used between October 2017 and March 2018. For more information, contact Keepers of the North Head Lighthouse representative Janet Easley via easleyhj@centurytel.net, at 360-665-5580, or Lona Niemi at llniemi@ yahoo.com or 360-642-2502, or call Cape Disappointment at 360-642-3029.

SEASIDE — Two Seaside High School students are helping with the second annual Jason Goodding Memorial Cornhole Tournament, a fundraiser that will be held noon Saturday, June 17, at the Seaside Elks Lodge (324 Ave. A). Registration begins at 11:30 a.m., but early online registration is also encouraged. All ages are welcome. The cost is $100 for a two-person team. Participation in the tournament is not mandatory. All-day admission is $5. Anyone unable to register on the Facebook page can do so at the event location. The event will include a two-person, double elimination tournament, a performance by Fifth Alarm Band, food, a beer garden, a raffle and an auction. The silent auction and raffle include trip and athletic packages. Local businesses are donating prizes, from restaurant gift cards to rounds of golfs. Approximately 50 teams are expected to compete. A National Cornhole League Chairman will be running

the tournament. On Feb. 5, 2016, Goodding, a Seaside police sergeant, was shot and killed in the line of duty. The tournament honors Jason and his legacy of community service. Proceeds are marked for the Jason Goodding scholarship of $1,000 that will go to a Seaside High School graduate pursuing a career in teaching or criminal justice. The Seaside students’ participation is for their Pacific Project, a graduation requirement. Students must perform 50 hours of community service, followed by a presentation before a board

Soup Bowl fundraiser supports The Harbor By DAN HAAG

FOR COAST WEEKEND

The Harbor, one of the first women’s resources agencies in Oregon, will host its 14th annual Soup Bowl fundraiser 5:30 p.m. Saturday, June 10, at The Loft at The Red Building (20 Basin St., Astoria). The event is a chance for the community to recognize the efforts of The Harbor’s staff, volunteers and community partners, and to celebrate the survivors the organization has served. Now in its 41st year, the nonprofit provides intervention, recovery and support to survivors of domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking. The Soup Bowl’s proceeds go toward The Harbor’s myriad programs, including a 24-hour crisis line, a drop-in center, child advocacy and the Déjà Vu Thrift Shop. “It all started around a kitchen table with some women who were concerned about domestic violence,” Sue Farmer, the

interim executive director, said. The Soup Bowl is a festive fusion of pottery arts, culinary arts and public service. It is The Harbor’s largest and most popular fundraiser — and for good reason, considering the combination of local culinary efforts: handmade bread from The Blue Scorcher Bakery & Cafe, beer from local brewers, and desserts from local bakers.

a colorful display of 150 bowls, from which they can choose one. And, according to Farmer, there are no bad choices. “They are some beautiful bowls with wonderful colors,” she said. As with all previous years’ Soup Bowls, The Harbor has collaborated with the Clatsop Community College potters – led by pottery instructor Richard Rowland – to offer striking handcrafted specimens. The participating potters have spent months meticulously crafting the bowls, all of which have been fired in Astoria’s renowned Dragon Kiln. If the bowls are essential, so are the soups on hand to put in them. This year, 12 soup-makers

–– including chefs from the area’s top restaurants –– will donate their talent, time and soup offerings for a unique dining experience. Tickets are $50 per person for soup and the bowl. The price includes appetizers, salad, bread and dessert. If there is a deeper reason to attend, the answer is simple: “It takes a community that works together to break the cycle of domestic violence and sexual assault,” Farmer said. “Donations help The Harbor continue serving the people of Clatsop County in the greatest hour of need.” Soup Bowl tickets are available at harbornw.org and at the Deja Vu Thrift Store (1389 Duane St.).

BOOKMONGER

A salute to Brian Doyle Brian Doyle’s fertile creative spirit has not only produced a dazzling array of essays and novels, but also guided the editorial content of Portland Magazine for a quarter of a century. With an abundant vocabulary, dashes of philosophizing and twinkles of humor, Doyle has spun prolific tales of boys, girls, women, men and wildlife endeavoring to live with dignity and purpose and even tenderness. His work often has a whimsical flavor, but it is never inconsequential. The author perceives a world utterly jam-packed with tidbits of beauty and wisdom and comfort — if only we will take notice of them. His latest work, “The Adventures of John Carson in Several Quarters of the

World,” is true to form. With this novel, Doyle ventures to get into the mind of 19th century Scotsman Robert Louis Stevenson, who in 1880 had traveled to San Francisco to await his true love’s divorce from her first husband. In a matter of months, Fanny Vandegrift Osbourne would become Stevenson’s wife. While he bided his time in a Bay Area boarding house — this is a true story — Stevenson became friendly with his landlady, Mrs. Carson, and her seaman husband John Carson, themselves recently married after living separate and remarkable lives that had ranged across continents and oceans. Stevenson and Mr. Carson became especially close after spending many evenings together, smok-

ing and swapping tales in front of the parlor fireplace. Carson’s globetrotting adventures were so splendid that Stevenson hoped to bind them together in a picaresque novel, but that never came to pass. That’s where Doyle has stepped in, deftly braiding together some of the strands of Carson’s exceptional life — his work with British naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace in Borneo, his involvement in the Battle of Gettysburg, and so on — with Stevenson’s own enthusiastic explorations of his temporary home in the city by the bay. In 1880, Stevenson was also working feverishly to get his career as a writer off the ground in order to provide for his soon-to-be wife and her children. The tales he

The Adventures of John Carson in Several Quarters of the World – Brian Doyle St. Martin’s Press – 240 pp – $36.99

heard from Carson provided him with succor and inspiration, and also confirmed the vitality of story. Granted, in our age of what another Northwest writer, Timothy Egan, calls “McNugget time,” some readers may find that their attention spans are taxed by the languid unspooling of these tales. More’s the pity.

No matter who else sits down with “The Adventures of John Carson,” anyone who fancies himself or herself a writer will be incalculably enriched by the observations in this book on the craft and imperative of storytelling. Throughout this and his other works, Doyle’s writing has tended toward a sunny outlook, but he has never

ignored life’s shadows. And here comes the bad news, for those who don’t already know: Doyle is dealing with brain cancer and has entered hospice. The impulse to mourn is instantaneous, but let’s also remember to celebrate this last book — a gift from a generous writer who has always reveled in the “profligacy of creation.” The Bookmonger is Barbara Lloyd McMichael, who writes this weekly column focusing on the books, authors and publishers of the Pacific Northwest.

Astoria Visual Arts announces artists-in-residence ASTORIA — Astoria Visual Arts spring-summer artists-in-residence are Astoria residents Tyler Little and Andie Sterling. During his residency, Tyler will be housed at Studio 11, where he plans to work on stop-motion videos, photographs, music and paintings. “Recently, I have developed a love for making large paintings,” Little said. “Usually consisting of disproportionate characters, fictional landscapes, yada, yada, yada.” Sterling, whose fall-winter residency was extended for four months, will be working in a new studio, at Pier 11. She plans to branch out and explore “untrodden paths connecting people to

peephole cinema,” Sterling wrote in her extension request. “In continuing to challenge the idea of traditional artist exhibition space,” she continued, “I will be looking to outdoor public locations to simultaneously challenge and broaden the art viewer demographic.”
