Alexis Mather, Miss Clatsop County 2015, volunteered to model for a Community Education photography class I teach at Clatsop Community College. After the class she asked if I would photograph her in a studio setting. Most of her pictures have been taken on location, and she needed a head shot.

Mather began participating in the Miss Clatsop County Program, which is a preliminary to the Miss Oregon and Miss America programs, at the age of 13. “It’s a remarkable program,â€? she told me. “My parents were divorcing, and it allowed me to stay on a positive track and to be more a part of the community.â€?

Why compete a second time? “I was more mature,â€? she says, “more ready to compete for the title of Miss Oregon.â€? As I set up the seamless background and began to test the lighting, she told me about those who had mentored her. “I was inspired by them,â€? she says. The director of Miss Clatsop County, Sandy Newman, in particular, “is a very special person in my life. I value her opinion. It’s about a personal journey and building your character.

Donations of $5 to $10 are encouraged and go toward payment to the instructor. “A donation-based class is something I have been wanting to get off the ground since we opened a year ago,� says Kristin Tschannen, owner and instructor at Seaside Yoga

Studio & Retreat Center. “This is our way of making yoga available to anyone in the community who wants to learn the practice. We encourage a $5 to $10 donation; however, we understand if students can donate $2 one week and $3 the next. Our intention is to make classes accessible to those who were previously deterred because of cost.� Additionally, beginning June 17, Tschannen will be offering a free kids yoga class for all ages at the Seaside Farmers Market. “I think it’s important to support other efforts and or-

goes full circle Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH Photos by JOSHUA BESSEX

Soup bowls, in various stages of completion, are seen on a table at the Astoria Dragon Kiln.

The Harbor is getting ready to dish up an evening full of music, entertainment, good food, conversations and libation, too — and, of course, the securing of a coveted soup bowl. On Saturday, May 16 get ready, get set, the Soup Bowl is back. Here comes the annual event where each guest peruses, then chooses for keeps a prized handcrafted soup bowls made by local artisans. Bowl selection, wine reception and the silent auction begin at 5:30 p.m. in Astoria at the Masonic Lodge, located at 1572 Franklin Ave. Dinner and the program follow at 6:30 p.m. The 12th annual event is one of the year’s best examples of how a diverse community working together can collectively make a difference.

Aptly nicknamed Harbor Executive Director Julie Soderberg. “The Soup Bowl is an evening of celebrating those efforts.” This is the event that sees guests waiting as the doors open — they know the drill. Prompt arrival offers the best chance to score a personal favorite among the one-of-a-kind bowls. Created by local potters, there isn’t a loser in the collection, making it a difficult choice. Each and every bowl has a distinct hand-formed personality, finished with a subtle glow from local organic glazes. Seven potters created the bowls this year,

CCC ceramics instructor and artist Richard Rowland grabs a piece of wood to burn in the Astoria anagama kiln as part of the firing process for the bowls. The wood was pulled from the Van Dusen Building during the remodel of the new Harbor site.

The Dragon Kiln, the 100-footlong beast-like kiln claims an uphill dominance and respect over an acre of what is revered as sacred ground in Astoria. Clatsop Community College artist and teacher Richard Rowland is a quiet man with a devotion to giving back to his community. When his crew of potters agreed to supply soup bowls to the Harbor’s first Soup Bowl, it was important to Rowland that it be a community event. “Anybody can just hand over a bowl,” says Rowland. So for the past 12 years, volunteers have been a big part of the process. This year, four and a half cords of wood were gathered. Next, a rotating crew watched over and fed the dragon’s 2400-degree appetite, 24/7, for close to five days. “Making the bowls is energy that comes from the community. From start to finish, there is no other process that I know of that has so many community members helping to make one bowl,” says Rowland. Besides the bowls, community donations for the event are evident everywhere. The hall is donated, as are all silent auction items. Soups are supplied by Silver Salmon, Astoria Coffeehouse & Bistro, Baked Alaska, Astoria Co-op Grocery, T.Paul’s Supper Club and Fulio’s Pastaria and Tuscan Steak House. Bread arrives from the Blue Scorcher and dessert finishes off the meal. There’s wine from the Astoria Co-op and beer from Fort George Brewery. The serving staff donates their time. And shuttling food and beverages to the event is the Harbor’s new, gently used 2008 Dodge Caravan, which the Harbor recently acquired in a discounted deal from Warrenton KIA.

This year, the Soup Bowl’s keynote speaker is Danielle Tudor. In 1979, Tudor was barely 17 when she was raped and beaten by Richard Gillmore, Portland’s “Jogger Rapist.” Seven years later Gillmore was captured by police. But because Oregon’s sixyear statute of limitations had run out, Tudor couldn’t press charges. Since that time, she and other Gillmore rape victims have been active advocates, lobbying the Oregon legislature for a lengthened statue. During the Soup Bowl event, Cannon Beach Police Chief Jason Schermerhorn will also share some first-hand accounts of the helpful impact on and in the community when Harbor volunteers work with area police departments. “Many people in Clatsop County aren’t aware of the positive input they can have on something that, whether it’s direct or indirect, affects us all,” he says. “Harbor volunteers and financial donations from our community make a real difference.” The Harbor is the only agency in the local area with a 24-hour hotline staffed 100 percent by volunteers. Providing ongoing services to clients and seeing approximately 50 new cases a month, there are four certified advocates on the Harbor staff. “Currently we have an average of 30 volunteers giving us 900 volunteer hours a month. That’s a huge increase. People are feeling good about the Harbor,” says Soderberg. At the Harbor itself, things have never been busier. In the Harbor’s Déjà Vu Thrift

Shop, a gallery currently features art designed by two former victims of abuse. Carol and Kelly are using gallery space to show and sell their art. “They are using their work and their independence to inspire other victims. It’s an example of ‘If I can do it, you can do it,’” Soderberg says. Carol has spent over 700 hours volunteering at the Harbor, and she was also last year’s Soup Bowl keynote speaker. “It’s so neat to watch a person come full circle,” says Soderberg. With a building permit in hand, the Harbor is growing. “We’re remodeling a larger facility, the Van Dusen Building, which Bob Poole donated to us,” Soderberg says. “We hope to have work completed by the end of the year. The new space, at 1010 Duane St., will allow us more room to help more people and provide our Déjà Vu Thrift Shop with much more retail space. We hope to become the Cargo of resale. It’s all about our community working together.” Continuing that circle of community, wood removed from the Van Dusen building’s demolition phase was carted up to feed the Dragon Kiln to fire the soup bowls. Soup Bowl event tickets are available at Déjà Vu Thrift Shop, located at 1389 Duane St. in Astoria. The $50 tickets sell out fast and with good reason. “We exist to make our world a better place,” says Soderberg. “Nourishing our community,” adds Rowland, “from bowls to survivors and back again, is a noble thing.”

‘From start to finish, there is no other process that I know of that has so many community members helping to make one bowl.’

Drina Daisy

The Mouth’s roasted lamb entre boasted a lot of meat but not choice cuts. The tart, sweet fruits, a small salad offered enlivened counterpoint.

Traditional Bosnian home cooking with a bevy of confounding caveats

S

Sometimes I envy the melting pot of a big city. As ethnic dining options on the North Coast DUH UHODWLYHO\ OLPLWHG WKH Ă€ DJSROH HVWDEOLVKPHQWV carry added importance. They are needed. I want them to succeed, multiply and enthrall. I want them all to be great. So when I entered Astoria’s Drina Daisy, family-owned and proudly Bosnian, I did with tangible excitement. I was ready — longing even — for something different. That goodwill I came with, however, was slowly but surely chipped away at, piece by piece. On a sunny Friday evening, my companion and I were seated just before 7 p.m. The serene, homey dining room was not quite full. The menu hinted at the quirks to come: “Presentation may vary by availability & mood.â€? I was onboard — indeed, give me a chef who’s inspired. Our waiter offered to combine the smoked beef and sausage appetizers ($12), and we obliged. When the dish arrived I was hoping to learn, but the waiter only pointed and huffed: “beef, sausage, goat and farm cheese.â€? On the plate too were pickled peppers, whose acidity paired well with the creamy cheeses and smoked meats. I favored the mild goat and sausage, which was evenly ground. Some bread would’ve been nice — only after we were well on to the entrĂŠes did we learn that ours had been forgotten. Waiting for the main course, I took notice of the room, which was attended to by the single server and a busser/food-runner who disappeared for long stretches. No table sat more than four patrons, yet entrĂŠes arrived in staggered fashion — even for two-tops. I watched one diner receive their PHDO DOPRVW Âż YH PLQXWHV DIWHU their companion had been served.

served on a stainless tray, a grand mountain of meat with bones jutting skyward. Ensconced by a rainbow of pineapples, strawberries, melons and greens, its decadence harkened to a medieval bacchanal. While my single serving ($27) boasted a heaping hill of meat, the cuts were not so magisterial.

Aukshunassays her colorful, graphic landscapes hearken back to the 1930s Midwestern Regionalist style of such artists as Thomas Hart

Benton and Grant Wood and have even been likened to “Grant Wood on acid.” “In my use of color, I identify with the early 1900s European artists who were dubbed the Fauves (wild beasts) and whose leading member was Henri Matisse,” she says. “Lately I have been inspired by artists Gustav Klimt, Georgia O’Keeffe, Emily Carr, Paul Gauguin, Henri Rousseau, Wanda Ga’g and Japanese wood-block prints.” See samples of her work at http://www.artfulhome.com/ artist/Jane-Aukshunas/8273 To register, visit astoriaartloft.com or call 503-325-4442.

Irish tenor to perform at Liberty Theater Anthony Kearns brings ‘With a Song in My Heart’ tunes ASTORIA — Anthony Kearns, Ireland’s foremost tenor and a founding member of the PBS super group The Irish Tenors, will perform in concert at the Liberty Theater at 7 p.m. Saturday, May 16. Seating is open, and tickets are $20 for adults and $15 for students, seniors and military personnel. Kearns is anxious to sing at the Liberty. “Theaters like the Liberty are national treasures. Acoustics are generally quite good in the old houses, and the Liberty restoration looks to be beautifully done,” he says. “I’m looking forward to being in Astoria.” Songs from Kearns’s recent CD “With a Song in My Heart” will be performed, along with Irish favorites, Broadway tunes and classics. “Our program is a roller coaster of emotions, from laughter to tears and back again,” says Kearns. Kearns brings along pianist and fellow Irishman Patrick Healy. “Patrick is the real deal,” said Kearns. “He’s not only a brilliant pianist, he’s the comedy relief of the program. When he regales the audience with tales of his 50 years in

the business, it will leave you laughing uproariously. He’s the Irish Victor Borge and a real gentleman.” Kearns hails from Ireland, where he is currently performing an opera at Dublin’s National Concert Hall. “I love

opera,” he says. “Getting up on a stage singing alongside highly trained singers is challenging and exciting. But I love getting back on the road singing my solo repertoire; we’re traveling troubadours, Paddy and I.”

After winning Ireland’s Search for a Tenor in 1993, a national competition like America’s Got Talent, Kearns trained with Ireland’s premier opera teacher, Veronica Dunne, and went on to study in Wales and New York City. Joining the newly formed trio The Irish Tenors (Ireland’s answer to The Three Tenors: Pavarotti, Domingo and Carreras) proved a good career move. Kearns and The Irish Tenors have performed LQ VRPH RI WKH ZRUOG¶V ¿QHVW venues, touring annually since 1998. Yet Kearns makes time to sing for charitable causes and organizations. “I’ve been blessed,” he says. “I try to give back through my singing as much as I can.” He often sings for the Wounded Warriors Project, special needs and music education. He has performed countless masses and fundraising events for victims and survivors of 9/11. This past September, Kearns accepted an ambassadorship with Wells of Life, an organization dedicated to supplying clean water in Uganda.

70 Help Wanted Reporter Make a splash in business journalism by joining the reporting staff of the ambitious Coast River Business Journal, located where the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean meet. This is a highly dynamic and story-filled place, where Portlanders and Seattleites come to make their dreams of coastal living come true. You should arrive here with polished writing skills, a strong work ethic and robust curiosity to delve into the professional lives of some of the Pacific Northwestʼs most creative and imaginative business people. Working in partnership with colleagues at the Chinook Observer, The Daily Astorian, Seaside Signal and Cannon Beach Gazette, Coast River Business Journal produces a monthly print publication. With your geographical beat spanning Clatsop County, Ore., and Pacific County, Wash., you can choose to live on the Long Beach Peninsula, Astoria or Oregonʼs North Coast. While this position is managed from Long Beach, you will also sometimes work from our Astoria and Seaside offices. An important aspect of this job is providing business coverage to several publications, each with a different environment. There will be aspects of breaking business news, in-depth business reporting and “main street” business news. Part of your job will be to continue ramping up our online content for timely and expansive coverage of business news. Healthcare is one of our regionʼs rapidly expanding economic sectors and we want to hear your ideas about how to cover it in ways that are useful to those in the caring professions, as well as engaging for the community members they serve. We have a rising tide of young and second-career entrepreneurs starting new craft breweries, restaurants, retail stores, galleries and online businesses. You will need to be as engaged and creative as they are. Our traditional industries — tourism to forestry, seafood to homes sales/construction, farming of everything from organic vegetables to legal marijuana — all are wide awake and gaining renewed momentum in a fastexpanding regional economy. Weʼll expect you to dig well beyond the superficial and explain where these industries are going, and why. Our coast is comfortable and still affordable. It's a place where our reporters and their families purchase homes and settle in for careers that are richly connected to the Northwest interior. Part of your job will be exploring and explaining the growing ties between our coast and the cities of Puget Sound and northwest Oregon. We offer a competitive wage, a generous benefit package, and a warm and friendly office environment in Mac-based buildings. We work hard but have fun — the ocean beach is a short stroll from our Long Beach and Seaside offices. We enjoy world-class restaurants, fantastic salmon and deep-sea fishing, amazing wildlife and bird watching, and many other outdoor activities. Portland is two and a half hours; Seattle three hours. Benefits include Paid Time Off (PTO), insurances and a 401(k)/Roth 401(k) retirement plan. Send clips, resume and letter of interest to EO Media Group, PO Box 2048, Salem, OR 97308-2048, by fax to 503371-2935 or e-mail hr@eomediagroup.com.

Portland singer/multi-instrumentalist Corrina Repp will play a record release show for her new album, “The Pattern Of Electricity,” on Friday, May 15 at the Voodoo Room in Astoria.

Five Minutes With ... CORRINA REPP Q&A by RYAN HUME Have you heard? Portland-based full-time musician and part-time actress, Corrina Repp, is holding a record release party at the Voodoo Room in Astoria on Friday, May 15 to introduce her new album, “The Pattern of Electricity,” her first solo release since 2006. Your new record, “The Pattern of Electricity,” is decidedly more up-tempo than your last solo release, 2006’s “The Absent and the Distant,” though it continues to explore the lush and more layered arrangements set out on that record. What most excites you about the direction of the new album? I’ve always approached the making of a new record very open to the ideas of possibility. If you’re open to having anything happen, then you can find yourself often surprised by magic moments. My original plan was to record a song or two with a handful of different

friends. Peter Broderick was the first person I recorded with, and it went so well that I decided to make most of the record with him. We spoke the same language, which was very liberating. To express an idea in the weird musical language I have and then have him understand and then help me interpret it — it was an incredible experience for me. If you could choose the conditions, what would you consider to be the ideal listening environment for this new record? On a solo road trip through the desert or sitting in the middle of a forest with headphones on.

This is your first solo record since your band Tu Fawning dissolved in 2013. For you, how do you approach the creation of a solo record differently than a collaborative effort? Well, the biggest thing is that I don’t have anyone to bounce ideas off (of) throughout the writing process. It was a good exercise in taking an idea and really having to see it through. You can learn a lot about yourself in a collaborative effort, but having done that for the past five years, I felt very ready to just look to myself. I brought finished songs to Peter to then record, and together we would find the best musical

landscape for them to be in. The record release party for the album will be held at the Voodoo Room in Astoria on Friday, May 15. In 2012, Tu Fawning shot a music video for the song “Anchor” on the Oregon Coast. Even your recent film role in “The Black Sea” brought you to Arch Cape. How does the coast inspire you? What keeps bringing you back? One of the biggest reasons I’ve lived in Portland for as long as I have (20 years) is because of the surrounding nature. I am deeply inspired by the coast and by the Columbia River Gorge. In the past couple of years, having gone through a bit of a rough transition, spending time in these places has saved me. I also recorded “The Pattern of Electricity” with Peter in Pacific City. We are so lucky to have what we have visually at our fingertips, so why not make use of it? Besides the release of the new album, you have been taking on quite a few acting projects as of late, with multiple appearances on “Portlandia,” as well as the film project I mentioned above. Where does acting fit into your creative life? And what’s next for Corrina Repp?

When I was in my late teens I made the choice to focus on music, but it was a difficult choice between that and acting. I had done some theater in college and loved it but knew I had to choose. Acting is one of those things that has come into my life by complete accident. I auditioned for “Portlandia” in Season 1 and landed a part. The skit that we filmed ended up getting cut, but for some reason every season after that they have invited my back. Sometimes two or three times in a season. It’s an incredible amount of fun for me, but also something that is really challenging. I never considered myself an improvisational actor, or an actor at all, but things keep surfacing, and I’m always ready to take it on. What’s next? I’m going to make another solo record. I don’t want to wait too long. I think I’d like to make it just an electric guitar and voice record. Of course, once I get into it, you never know what’s going to happen. Continuing to explore with vocal layerings and guitar loops and what not. Music is a huge part of me, and I guess I haven often denied myself the realization that I am most happy when I am making music.

Naselle >QƗ V‫ܭ‬O@

noun 1. An unincorporated community in Pacific County, Washington, through which the Naselle River flows, with a 2010 census report of 419 residents. Founded by Scandinavian immigrants as a logging town, an industry which is still a major economic force in the area, this valley near the Willapa Hills and the Columbia River estuary has also proven to be fertile farmland with easy access to local shellfish in nearby Willapa Bay Origin:

The river was called Kenebec by an early settler and has at turns been spelled as Nasel and Nasal, though the origin is placed in homage with the Nisal people, a Chinookan tribe that once lived on its banks. “J. B. Knapp, of Knappton, for the last ten days has been supervising the construction of a road from Knappton to the head waters of Shoalwater bay. The road will be about ten miles long, seven of which are already completed. The remaining portion will be finished in the course of a few months. Six miles of this road lies along the Naselle River which is settled up by an industrious and thrifty people. The land on the Naselle is said to be the very best.” —“Oysterville Items,”Tri-Weekly Astorian, Thursday, Aug. 21, 1873, P. 2
