“Evening Refuge,� a plein air landscape in oil by Michael Lindstrom.

in the rain, he often refers to himself as “the stormy weather painter.� Though others may use a storm as an excuse to stay inside, Lindstrom seeks out the challenges of painting in all types of inclement weather. The spontaneity and adventure involved in his process is evident in his spare, energetic brushstrokes that manage to distill the essence of a place. His deeply textured and moody

landscapes offer a balance between abstraction and representation and capture the raw mystery of nature. His work may be found at RiverSea Gallery and throughout Oregon and Washington. RiverSea Gallery is located at 1160 Commercial St. For more information on Artists on Sundays and other events, call the gallery at 503-325-1270 or visit riverseagallery.com

Ilwaco High School students learn the culinary arts – a class taught in a working restaurant

hef Robert Erickson is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America. He has worked at Le Cirque in New York and Maxim’s in Paris. Today he is in Seaview, Wash., showing Joseph Lurf, an Ilwaco High School student, how to sautÊe vegetables for the clam fritter he is making. Lurf and eight other students are enrolled in the high VFKRROœV FXOLQDU\ DUWV FODVV ZKLFK LV DI¿OLDWHG ZLWK WKH ProStart Program through the National Restaurant Association. Nearly half of all Americans have worked in the restaurant industry at some time in their lives, and ProStart is a special curriculum for high school students who wish to learn about the art of cooking and managing restaurants, not only in the kitchen, but also by training with professional chefs. The class is also a way to earn academic credit and to better students’ chances of securing employment in the industry. These classes are taught in high schools around the nation, but Ilwaco High is unique. It is the only class in the country taught in a working restaurant, the Shelburne Inn Restaurant in Seaview. While Shelburne Inn co-owner Laurie Anderson and Erickson, the inn’s executive chef, observe Lurf in the main kitchen, the other students crowd into a sec-

Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL ond smaller kitchen, which was formerly used to make breakfasts for guests staying at the Shelburne Inn. The two kitchens make it possible for the class to take place at the inn, since the main kitchen can be a hectic place during restaurant hours. Shelburne Inn co-owner David Campiche is in charge of this day’s lesson, and he is a chef of some skill himself. Today’s project is chili, and he asks for recipe suggestions from the students before suggesting the addition of smoked paprika and, to the surprise of the class, chocolate. “This will make it sort of a mole chili. Does anyone know what mole is?� A discussion ensues as students begin chopping onions, stirring beans and adding spices. The students won’t spend all their time in the kitchen, because the two-year class is about more than recipes and workplace skills. “We have scheduled visits with local farmers, food sales representatives and the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau,� says Anderson. “The students also assist with actual preparations for the Shelburne Restaurant & Pub on occasion, which is excellent preparation for the real world.� The curriculum includes recipe costing (“Accounting is the language of business,� Anderson tells her students.), service and hospitality, professionalism, and career building. It all began with a senior project last year, when a student convinced the school board of a need for a culinary arts class. “We had already talked to Marc Simmons (director of curriculum for the Ocean Beach School District) about doing a class,� Anderson explains, “and he brought us together. She gave her presentation to the board, and they passed it that night. It was almost miraculous, the way it all came together.�

The next step was for Anderson to attend week-long training with the Washington Restaurant Association to become familiar with the material covered by ProStart. Anderson “enjoys the students and their hunger for learning, their curiosity,â€? and says she feels an important lesson she can teach them, “is to follow through to completion, even if they don’t like the task, because that’s very important in life.â€? Students have the option to “shadowâ€? jobs at the Shelburne Inn, and Olivia Lee, a senior, has spent time with both Anderson and Campiche. Lee likes cooking, but she took the class mostly for the business aspect. She doesn’t know if a restaurant is in her future, “but I might own some kind of business,â€? she says, “and I want to know it from the kitchen to the front of the house.â€? Lee has found the most useful part of the class to be “about service and hospitality, and marketing your business.â€? During the class visit to the Visitors Bureau she “heard things I’d never heard about advertising your business.â€? Senior Jacob Burdett took the course because Âł, GHÂżQLWHO\ ZDQW WR ZRUN in the hospitality and tourism industry.â€?

I jovially considered how many garage sales lost their lives to decorate the space. We began with deep-fried asparagus with chile sauce. I must say that although I love asparagus, I’ve never tasted it prepared in this fashion, and it won’t be the last time. With an unbeatable, golden crunch and the piquant chile sauce, this is a fun appetizer that’s a departure from the ordinary. The menu is full of delicious-sounding op-

HOURS: Open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week.

SERVICE: We were served by the owner herself, who was friendly, helpful and funny.

PRICES: Prices hovering near the $10 mark make this an incredible value.

DRINKS: Soft drinks, including Mexican sodas, beer, wine and margaritas.

ATMOSPHERE: A kitschy hodge-podge of bric-a-brac lends an unexpected charm to what might otherwise be a small, unremarkable space.

Though I don’t often mention wine, beer or spirits in my column (as wine is worthy of a column all its own, written by someone with more expertise than I), I have to mention that I was thrilled to see one of my favorite wineries represented at Casa de Tamales, especially since I’ve never seen it served anywhere else locally. Druid’s Fluid by Troon Vineyard in southern Oregon is a so-called “wine for everyone,â€? a red blend of merlot, syrah, cabernet sauvignon and zinfandel. It is bright, zesty and smooth, and is the ultimate wine to bring to a party when you don’t know what’s being served for dinner. It goes with everything – even tamales – and the price won’t break the bank. Canby Asparagus Farms Casa de Tamales is a rare treat, and I recommend it highly.

TOM KITTEL

Originally hailing from New York City, this Astoria photographer and glass blower creates from the heart – and also composes music.

How does living in Oregon compare to New York? I was born in Queens, N.Y. I grew up on Long Island and lived in Brooklyn. Now I live right here in Astoria. Having lived in New York for 58 years, I have to say that Astoria is a lot less frenetic. And a lot easier on the wallet, too. What art medium(s) do you work in and where do you show your work? I work in several mediums: photography, glass (blowing) and composing music. I’m an amateur at all three. How did you get started blowing glass? What draws you to it? I started blowing glass back in 1988 because the sculpture class I wanted to take at New York University was filled. It worked out really well for me because I became addicted to the intensity of the process. It’s an “old world� craft that hasn’t changed much in two thousand years. The Romans invented the modern glassblowing techniques that are used today. I think that the process was the initial draw for me, and now I design the process as I design the piece. It’s a very zen-like experience, because once you start a piece you have to finish it, and I very much appreciate the assistance that Claude Kurtz

and Chris Hucke provide at Fernhill Glass in Astoria. What advice would you offer a beginner glass blower? If you decide that you want to be a glassblower get ready for a lot of learning. It takes a lot of broken glass to get decent at this craft. Just be patient and take the time to learn the craft. Tell me about your photography. How did you get started? What inspires you? I started photographing in 1970 or ’72. I shot color for about a year or so and was thrown out of some of the best art galleries in New York City. I decided to take some classes at The School of Visual Arts down on 23rd Street in Manhattan to try to

figure why I wasn’t the greatest photographer who ever lived. So when I took a class with the great Ruth Orkin, I found out. This was a critique class in which each student had to pin his or her work on a wall for everyone to see and comment on. It did not go well. Ruth hated everything I had the nerve to hang, and she let everybody know it. After several weeks of this torture, I put something on the wall that she didn’t hate. It was a simple print of two kids running after some pigeons. “That’s it!� she said. “That’s from the heart!� She told me that my images must come from the heart not the brain. That has never left me; my images must speak from my heart for them to be successful. What subjects or themes do you focus on in your photography? I really don’t consider myself to be a photographic artist. I’m more of a recorder of lost objects; this is especially true of my current work. There are things I see that I am compelled to record. I need to possess them if only on film. I guess that makes me a collector of monu-

ments: a grain elevator, a railroad crossing, an oil well, a wind turbine. I possess all of these things. Is there anything you’re currently working on or have recently finished? My NYC street images are being used in a short film by filmmaker Annette Rose-Shapiro, currently in pre-production. I am beginning several projects involving the Columbia River and Astoria, and I am still working on “Somewhere, Anywhere, Nowhere: Photographs from the Endless Passage.â€? If you could meet one artist, alive or dead, who would it be and what would you want to know? If I could meet one artist it would be J.S. Bach. I would ask him where it all came from. If I could know just an ounce of what he knows‌ What’s your favorite thing to do on the North Coast? There are several things I like to do here. One of my favorites, though, is hanging out at LightBox Photographic Gallery with Chelsea and Michael Granger and working in the darkroom making prints that Ruth Orkin would not hate.
