alone. All was silent – then the rapid bass opening of Bach’s Toccata in G Minor, BWV 915, sounded clear and loud, pleasantly startling us in our seats. Schumann’s Piano Sonata No. 2 in G Minor, Op. 22, followed. I couldn’t have picked a better piece that juxtaposes Chopin and Schumann. The two composers were both Romantics born in 1810. Schumann was German and embraced the Beethoven-inspired imperative to write great, complicated symphonic works. In contrast, Chopin was a Polish composer

living in Paris, focusing on piano works with straightforward melodies and subtle embellishments. The sonata was intense and complicated with powerful passages. I have to admit, it wasn’t quite my cup of tea, but Kuzmickas’ playing was brilliant, and the audience’s roar of applause proved they loved it. Kuzmickas next played Chopin’s Polonaise in A-Flat Major, Op. 53, “Heroique.” The piece opened with a grand introduction and a dance-like theme; the thrumming chords and

brassy, bold melody evoked a noble, majestic spirit that brought the audience to its feet at the finish. Graciously, Kuzmickas returned to the stage to play an encore. For those of you who attended the concert and might be curious about the piece, it was the third movement, Forlane, from Ravel’s “Le tombeau de Continued on Page 9

Last Sunday the Astoria Music Festival presented “The Chopin Project,” a concert of music and dance at the Clatsop Community College’s Performing Arts Center. It provided a preview taste of the goodies in store for the upcoming Astoria Music Festival in June as well as a delectable afternoon of classical music (and a table full of authentic Polish desserts). Agnieszka Laska, the founder of award-winning Portland modern dance company Agnieszka Laska Dancers, has been choreographing all 24 Chopin preludes, in combination with Chopin’s Nocturne Op. 9: No. 1 in B-Flat Minor, in different configurations related to her Polish heritage. Upon receiving my program at the concert, I was a bit surprised to see only five preludes, No. 17 to 21, included in the lineup. Truth to tell, I was a bit disappointed that we wouldn’t get to enjoy preludes No. 4 and No. 15, two of my favorite Chopin pieces. But Laska’s dancers and the superb playing by 17-yearold pianist Ruta Kuzmickas made up for it in spades. After the preludes concluded, Kuzmickas took to the stage

Story by DAVID CAMPICHE

clay bowls in the hands of the community

They gathered in the early dawn and began to split wood. A fine mist hung above the cattle fields, where a dark slough runs through. They were business owners, teachers, fishermen and artists from our community, from both sides of the Big River. The wood had been gathered from far and wide, and it was dry and fibrous: alder, maple, fir, hemlock. Some fast burning, like cedar. Some dense and slow burning like Sitka Spruce. There were neat rectangular blocks of hardwood. God only knows how they landed on Richard Rowland’s hill, here, at the Astoria Dragon Kiln, at the Anagama, nearly hidden from Tucker Creek Road by stands of alder and evergreen. The potters seem to like it that way. This is sanctuary. The purpose was clear. Over the next several months, firewood would be gathered, split and stacked in the long, hand-built wooden sheds. Hundreds of bowls would be thrown, trimmed, bisque-fired and glazed. Clay would spin on round wheels over and over again, a kind of fine meditation like the quicksilver mist that covered the valley. Finally the bowls would be placed, as carefully as delicate bone china, into the belly of the woodfired kiln. There the magic would continue: a kind of baptism between fire and clay and the assembly of potters. Some potters, like Rod Maxwell Muir, are in their early 80s, and others, kids from Rowland’s pottery class at Clatsop Community College, are still green behind the ears. There are pros: Howard Clarke stands out; Brand Dichter, Karen Snapp and Loren Cross are indispensable. And of course, there is Rowland. Beyond master craftsman and artist, Rowland remains as disciplined as a U.S. Marine field sergeant. He expects commitment. It would be hard to love a community more, and few put more back into the hopper. Not surprisingly, commitment remains the force behind the beauty. Clay dust and mud cling to work clothes. Smoke and the sweet sweat of hard labor impregnates everything. The mission is slow and ardu4 | May 16, 2013 | coastweekend.com

ous, potters tending the 2,400-degree fire for seven days and nights, around the clock. Fatigue and excitement blend into a meld of creativity and stubbornness, an obsession aimed as true as an arrow at a target called quality. Fire dwells in the heart as well as in the kiln. This firing of 400 stoneware and porcelain bowls with six or seven cords of split firewood is solely for the purpose of encouraging donations, big or small, to the Tillamook County and Astoria Women’s Resource Centers. The event is annual: this year, Saturday and Sunday, May 18 and 19, offered in two locations. Back at the Anagama, rain is falling in a Noahlike spectacle that begins to lift the floor boards off the soil. Rain turns the clay hill into a slide worthy of the downhill at Lillehammer. In the middle of a moonless night, two potters remain. One is digging trenches with a rusty shovel, attempting to free a lake of rising water. The other potter continues to feed huge armloads of firewood into the mouth of the kiln. When he opens the steel door, a blast of heat slaps his face and chest like a fullbody blow. Inside, white flame wafts over the pots and up the belly of the dragon kiln. Heat moves in

The mission is slow and arduous, potters tending the 2,400-degree fire for seven days and nights, around the clock ... Fire dwells in the heart as well as in the kiln. brilliant florescent waves, an orange current. A fine white-hot dust that potters call “fly ash” settles on the clay pots. At 2,400-degree temperatures, firewood is transformed to silica, feldspar, and other earth minerals. Wood becomes a glaze, glass-like and lustrous, coating dry clay pots with an unpredictable spectrum of natural colors. Soon enough, clay turns to stone.

The kiln cools for a week. Potters have few ideas what fate awaits their precious treasures. Even in a good firing, the attrition rate remains as high as 30 percent – not exactly failure but kind of a natural disappointment that reshapes itself into a learning experience, an extension of life. And then there are the successful bowls and pots that seem as mysterious and deep as the universe, those hundreds of billions of stars that make up our own galaxy. A milky way in a ceramic bowl – that’s what some of the potters say. The joy can be palpable. Imagination dances its slow waltz. Imagination is as individual as those stars. A week after the firing, the kiln is meticulously unloaded. Rowland and the potters then begin to select the best of the bowls, ones that escape the drips and dregs of a 30-year-old kiln, escape distortion, rips and tears and runny glazes that meld the pots forever to silicon shelves that cost a week’s wages. Pot bottoms (feet) are ground smooth, and then the pots are bathed in soapy water. Lovingly they are packed and transported to a community hall – this year the Masonic Lodge in Astoria and the Old Mill Marina in Garibaldi – where the community gathers, purchases the bowls, fills them with hot soup donated by local chefs and restaurants, and ultimately fills coffers that will benefit women escaping domestic violence and other human traumas that have violated their lives and the laws of a civil community. But this is a celebration of hope, a gathering of a sober and resilient community. People of conscience and warm caring hearts bear a message that empowers the best of who and what we are. And then the community takes the bowls home. Each day they eat and drink from them. They remember: clay is magic, and magic heals. The clay bowls remind us of who we are. And aren’t we one, together, like clay in a potter’s hands?

Amazing

“It’s an art form that’s slowly being lost,” says LaRee Johnson. Her voice carries a sense of urgency, and her eyes gleam with a zealot’s intensity. She shows me a large metallic lace butterfly. It is black, very large and extremely intricate. It is a work of art that once adorned a woman’s cloche hat. “Lace really is an art form,” Johnson says. In the past, “Most women knew how to do needlepoint and lace-making and embroidery. That craftsmanship is almost completely gone.” Johnson’s fascination with lace and vintage women’s accessories began 40 years ago when, as a high school student who sewed her own clothes, she purchased two dresses from the 1920s to turn into Halloween costumes. Then, when she examined their fine craftsmanship, she said to herself, “I can’t wear these,” and a lifelong passion was born. That passion led to an extensive collection and a standard book on the subject, “Ladies Vintage Accessories,” with the fourth edition in print and soon to be released as an e-book. Johnson reaches into a trunk and brings forth a large package, carefully wrapped, and unrolls an elegant white lace skirt. Then she shows me a faded newspaper story with a picture of the original owner wearing the skirt: Grace Coolidge, President Calvin Coolidge’s widow. “Provenance (the history of ownership of an object) is very important for value,” Johnson explains, and that is one of three themes she will address when she speaks of “Amazing Lace” at a ladies’ tea at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 18, in the Fellowship Hall of the First Presbyterian Church, 1103 Grand Ave., Astoria. Another kind of value is more important than the economic value, Johnson says. It’s what she 8 | May 16, 2013 | coastweekend.com

calls the “archaeology of the clothing,” what garments tell you about the people who wore them and the times they lived in. How did long dresses and hoops affect a woman’s lifestyle? 100 years ago women had more children than they have today. Many would have taken care of a kitchen garden and perhaps chickens in addition to doing the cooking and cleaning – chores that took longer than today. “But still,” Johnson says, “they were doing this art form” of lace-making and embroidery. Many poor women, especially widows, supported themselves and their families by making lace for the wealthy, doing close work in poor light at the cost of health and eyesight. On the other hand, wealthy women might have servants to do physical labor so that they had more time to do needlework. Whatever role lace played in women’s lives, Johnson says, “lace was made for the beauty of lace.” “Preserving and documenting these treasures is so important,” she continues, “and in programs

In the past, ‘most women knew how to do needle-point, lace-making and embroidery. That craftsmanship is almost completely gone ... preserving and documenting these treasures is so important.’ like ‘Amazing Lace’ I am both sharing my knowledge and helping to preserve them. ‘Don’t throw away your grandmother’s hanky,’ I tell them. Write down everything you know about it and your grandmother” – that’s provenance and archaeology – “and then preserve it.”

That’s the third of Johnson’s subjects: education about the care of lace. She shows me a silk and lace blouse that appears to be torn numerous times in the shoulders. “Lace is often less fragile than the cloth it is on,” she says and explains that the silk in this dress was the result of a manufacturing process that resulted in metallic salts in the fabric. This eventually results in shattering, which was accelerated by hanging the dress on a wire hanger. “The best way to keep lace,” Johnson informs me, “is to roll it up in a sheet, and never expose it to paper, cardboard, or anything else that isn’t acid-free.” Johnson goes on to show me the difference between machine-made and handmade lace, and the stages in the making of lace. She pulls out examples of Tenerife lace (a style developed in the Canary Islands), Princesse lace, and Hardanger lace. The latter, a Scandinavian style, is made with a heavy linen stitch. “It takes hours,” Johnson says, “and Hardanger is still done locally.” All this and much more will be part of Johnson’s presentation. Come learn about this amazing wearable art and the history behind it.

ASTORIA — The Columbia River Maritime Museum welcomes Peter Brix 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, May 17 in the Museum Store with the release of his book, “The Brix Maritime Story,” available for signed purchase. Recounted by a third-generation Brix who worked his way from deckhand to CEO of Knappton Towboat Company (later Brix Maritime), “The Brix Maritime Story” is a telling of local and industry history.

anecdotes in Roosevelt’s life make his audiences feel they are truly in the presence of the former U.S. president and adventurer. “So many of T.R.’s contemporaries testify to the way he entertained audiences with inspirational and humorous stories from his youth, his ranching days, Cuba and the presidency,” Wiegand said. “I really enjoy sharing T.R.’s funny stories of life in the White House with six kids and telling anecdotes from his many adventures, from bear hunts to the Panama Canal, from Africa to the Amazon.” Greenwood will also talk

about Wells Fargo’s lengthy history in Oregon, which dates back to its founding in 1852. “Wells Fargo is celebrating its 161st anniversary this year. We’ve never lost sight of our history and the role Wells Fargo played in our country’s development of the West,” Greenwood said. The Clatsop County Historical Society is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to preserving the history of Clatsop County and the surrounding area. The society operates the Flavel House Museum, the Heritage Museum, the Oregon Film Museum and the Uppertown

Firefighters Museum. OHS has served as Oregon’s primary research collection and museum about Oregon history since 1898 with an extensive collection of historical pieces. It safeguards and presents Oregon’s history through a museum, research library, traveling exhibits, school programs and website content.

harmonies created a haunting dissonance that was magical to hear. After a short intermission, Laska’s dancers returned to the stage, performing scenes from Stravinsky’s 100-year-old “The Rite of Spring.” The full ballet, featuring Laska’s dancers in collaboration with the Little Ballet Theatre, will be performed June

29 in the Liberty Theater during the Astoria Music Festival. At the June performance, you won’t hear music from a full orchestra; you’ll hear it the way Stravinsky originally wrote the ballet: for two pianos. Full of Russian folk melodies, rhythm, dissonance and modern dance, “The Rite of Spring” portrays ancient rituals

celebrating spring, including the selection of a maiden to be a sacrificial victim and dance herself to death. As a kid who grew up on Disney, I am forever reminded of the dinosaurs from “Fantasia” when I hear “The Rite of Spring.” But I think Laska’s dancers, telling the original ballet’s story, will offer a memorable show.

Kite Master Libby also mentions a few special programs coming up at the museum. One of the Northwest’s most legendary kite flyers, Ray Bethell, will have his own exhibit running from mid-July through the end of October. Bethell is known for flying three stunt kites singlehandedly all at the same time. “Ray is amazing. He’s a kite maker, an artist and also quite an engineer. He invented his own gear – his harness and handles – to be able to do what he does.” And, of course, one can’t forget the Long Beach Kite Festival Aug. 19 to 25. The museum will be sponsoring kite making for kids and a mega-fly. “This year’s theme is red, white and blue,” says Libby. “We’ll be flying on the Revolution Field, and everyone with a kite up will get a button commemorating the event.”

Our region has it all: the beach, the wind, kite shops and kite experts – so get ready to grab a kite and get flying Story by CATE GABLE • Photos by ALEX PAJUNAS Wind, sea and sky – could there be a better combination for summer? Well, add one kite and the mix jumps to an, ahem, higher level! Or at least that’s what our local kite makers, kite sellers and kite enthusiasts think. Among the other wonders of the North Coast, we’ve also got a little bit of kite heaven. There are people and places to go to get both the information and the supplies you need, whether you’re an old-hand at kite flying or newly-minted. One of the first places kite aficionados should consider visiting this summer is the World Kite Museum in Long Beach, Wash. Executive Director Chelsea Libby emphasizes that “we have a new family-friend mission: We want to tell the story of kites and their effect on world culture, art and scientific innovation through hands-on learning exhibits for all ages.”

10 | May 16, 2013 | coastweekend.com

The magic ingredient: wind Libby’s got enough enthusiasm to entice even those of us who have never flown a kite before. “We’ve got perfect wind conditions on the Long Beach Peninsula, which is unique because we have the coastal environment but we also get a bit of a break in the wind with Cape Disappointment. So we seem to have just the right amount of breeze coming off the ocean and hitting the land,” she says. The average wind speed needed for kite flying is between five and 20 mph. But as Libby says, “It also has a little bit to do with the fact that kites need the right amount of drag. Most kites are calibrated to catch the wind but not to catch too much wind because you don’t want your kite torn up – there is a lot of force involved. You also want consistency to give the kite the right

amount of lift. If you have choppy wind speeds your kite can crash. Usually, on any given day, we have consistently between 10 and 20 mph.” She explains why coastal regions like ours attract kite flyers. “Most of the kite festivals in the world are located at the ocean to catch the wind coming in off the colder water. Once the wind starts hitting the land it warms and starts slowing down.” Kite flying is a mix of art and science. Libby often talks to classrooms of kids about the weather, how wind happens, kite drag and other kite-trivia relevant to a science curriculum. “The subject of kites is so interdisciplinary,” she continues. “It can include science, history and art. I have an art degree, so I can geek-out over the handpainted kites and how much artistry goes into making these beautiful things that float in the air. Also, every culture has its own unique style of kites – from the

If Libby has whetted your appetite for kite flying, where is the best place to get your own kite? Once Upon a Breeze in Cannon Beach, owned and operated by Lisa Fraser, is the oldest kite shop in Oregon. Frazer is no slouch in the enthusiasm department either. Several years ago she found out that kites had been banned in Afghanistan and was part of an effort to bring some high-flying joy back into the lives of Afghani children. “I was just floored when I heard about the ban,” Fraser said. “To me, flying a kite is one of the most relaxing, enjoyable things you can do. And kite flying in Afghanistan is a serious national sport.” Fighter kite flyers use strings coated in glass that can cut another kite flyer’s line in the air and bring the kite down. Together, Frazer and Pasco High School teacher Carol Brucker hatched a plan to send 600 kites to Afghanistan. (The Humanitarian organization Mercy Corps delivered them.) Once Upon a Breeze has a wide variety of kites. “The Australian-made Ground Zero line of kites is a top seller,” says Fraser, “and sales are strong for the upscale kites.” Another long-standing kite shop, and one that also manufactured its own kites for many years, is Pinky’s Kite Factory, also in Cannon Beach. “We’re a full-service store, and we’ve been here for 35 years, just when kites were starting to be cool,” says store volunteer Michael Strasser, who goes by the name "Wizard.” “It’s just Wizard, one name only – even my mom calls me that,” he says. “We used to build kites here, but we don’t anymore. This was a gift shop first. Then one day Pinky put out a bucket of kites, and they sold out in a day. So a second bucket went out, and those sold out too.” Wizard is hard-core. “I built my first kite when I was 3, and I’m over 60 now. And I still remember when I saw my first jet – it came back over the house and did a sonic boom. I was hooked. I retired 26 years ago, and I’ve been running the store ever since.”

The shop is nearly covered from floor to ceilng with a variety of kites waiting to be let loose on the beach.

Chelsea Libby, the executive director of the World Kite Museum in Long Beach, Wash., holds up one of the museum's many bird kites. While the bird kite can be flown by a single person, the massive Japanese Goyemon kite, which is nearly 10 feet wide and 18 feet tall, requires between 50 and 100 people to keep it under control.

What’s new in the world of kites? “There are always different styles of kites coming out, but in a way nothing changes,” says Wizard. “But kite boarding is still sort of new and clean line surfing.” These are sports that utilize a kite and wind for propulsion to move a skateboard or rider over water or land. “There are also foil kites that will pull dirt boards with inflatable wheels and will carry you down the beach – we carry some of the foils. I have a buggy kite and also an eight-meter foil. You can be pulled on a snow saucer or hydroplaned across the water with a kite,” he says. Wizard emphasizes that they also offer a variety of kite experiences. “We have big kites all the way down to kites for a 2-year-old or a 6-week-old dog. I’m not joking. It’s actually happened. We’ve sold over a 100 kites for dogs.” “We had a 6-week-old beagle in here the other day,” he continued. “One of his owners even taught him how to take something in its mouth on command. So the beagle put his paws up on the counter and paid for his own kite. I gave him change and off he went. We’re trying to encourage affordable family fun, and we provide a good product for a good price. We try to teach children how to be adults and adults how to be children.” So whether you want a kite for yourself, your dog or your grandmother, the North Coast is the place to be. We’ve got the best shops and some of the most knowledgeable kite experts. Just add a little wind and get flying

Long Beach

Thai Cuisine

My travels as The Mouth take me to restaurants up and down the Oregon coast and Long Beach Peninsula: from Nahcotta on the Washington side to Manzanita on the Oregon side, and sometimes even places further from home, like Clatskanie. In our region, we have both a wide variety of culinary locales, as well as many establishments whose cuisine is so exceptional that it easily rivals anything found in a larger city. Among these many gems, we are fortunate to have not one, but two fantastic Thai food restaurants. A few months ago I wrote about the incredibly flavorful and authentic fare at Blue Ocean Thai Cuisine in Astoria, and I’m equally excited to extol the excellence of Long Beach Thai Cuisine in Long Beach, Wash. Regular visitors of the restaurant may know that the original owner and chef at Long Beach Thai Cuisine sold the restaurant a little over a year ago, but the new owners have not missed a step in carrying the torch; the menu remains unchanged; as does, it seems, the food. On a recent visit I sampled a variety of dishes, all noteworthy, and each worthy of recommendation. A first appetizer of Thai chicken fingers, consisting of deep-fried chicken pieces with spicy plum sauce and topped with fresh basil was, pardon the expression, finger-licking good. I could easily have eaten the plate and forgone any other meal. The chicken itself is crisp-tender, and the spicy plum sauce tangy but with a mellow sweetness. Up next were fresh rolls, a blend of spinach, cilantro, carrots, prawns and chicken wrapped tightly in rice paper and served with peanut sauce. Fresh rolls are yet another appetizer that could easily suffice as a meal for a light appetite, and as the name implies, they taste incredibly fresh with the crunch of spinach and the grassy spiciness of cilantro. My favorite Thai dish from any restaurant is Pra Rahm, a stir fry with chicken, spinach, peanut

sauce and rice. I am not particularly fond of very spicy food, so I appreciate that this version of Pra Rahm, as well as any dish on their menu, can be prepared without spice, or with as much spice as you can handle. The peanut sauce prepared by Long Beach Thai is absolutely delectable, and I have tried several times, unsuccessfully, to recreate it at home. It is pleasingly sweet but not cloying, tangy or chunky with peanuts, and sometimes I wonder if it contains some secret ingredient. The happy duck, a half a duck deep fried until crispy and served with sweet and sour sauce and jalapeno basil sauce is another fantastic choice, particularly if you are fond of duck. The duck, when fried, becomes crunchy and pleasingly salty on the outside, but the inside remains sweet, moist and tender. Combined with the various sauces, it is a treat that can surely rival our American fried chicken. Mango fried rice is another favorite of mine, with jasmine rice, fried egg, mango, prawns, tomatoes and pineapple. The sweet, citrusy tang of mango and pineapple are mellowed by the rice and egg, and tomato lends a bit of acidity to round out

the flavor profile. The only dish during my recent visit that I thought could have used improvement was the Tom Yum Goong soup, a sweet and sour soup with prawns, mushrooms, lemon grass, Kaffir lime leaves and chili paste. Tom Yum Goong soup is typically a blend of complex, intricate flavors in a delicate balance; it musn’t be too sweet or too sour, too acidic or too spicy. Ideally, each flavor should

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photo by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday.

SERVICE: Extremely fast and very friendly.

PRICES: Prices for soups and appetizers range from $6 to $13 while entrees hover between $10 and $15; overall these are extremely affordable prices for food of such excellent quality.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS:There are several vegetable-only dishes, and most anything that is prepared with meat can be substituted with tofu.

ATMOSPHERE: Small and kitschy, but clean and outfitted in traditional Thai paraphernalia.

DRINKS:Traditional coffee, tea and soft drinks are served, in addition to Thai iced tea and bubble teas.

blend so well with the next that it is nearly impossible to perceive any one singular flavor, but rather only possible to enjoy a harmonious marriage of flavors. I found the soup, on this occasion, to be too sweet for my liking and without enough presence from either the lemon grass or Kaffir lime leaves. I added more chili sauce to punch up the flavor a bit. With Thai food being one of my favorite ethnic cuisines to enjoy on a regular basis, I have been to both Blue Ocean and Long Beach Thai numerous times. That being said, I must admit that there is something about the ambience of Long Beach Thai that is a tad off-putting to me; while the restaurant is clean, decorated with plenty of Thai tapestries and posters, and plays traditional Thai music, I still usually prefer to order take-out. On the day I visited it was unseasonably cold in the restaurant, and each time the door would swing open a cold wind swept through the relatively tiny space, and both factors seemed to make the food on the table cool rapidly. Still, I am quibbling over a relatively minor point; as I have said before, I am willing to eat in any environment if the food is praise-worthy, and in the case of Long Beach Thai Cuisine, it most certainly is worthy.

Every attendee is required to purchase a $10 commemorative event wine glass and pick up an I.D. bracelet for wine tasting. You must be 21 or older to participate in the wine walk. Wine glasses and I.D. bracelets can be purchased at two locations inside the Carousel Mall, 300 Broadway, from 1 to 7 p.m. and inside

at the Columbia River Estuary Study Taskforce. He grew up in New England and received his master’s degree from the College of Oceanography at Oregon State University. Graves worked in coastal management at CREST until 1996, when he started working at the Marine and Environmental Research and Training Station facility for Portland State University. Jon continued working at MERTS for PSU and later OHSU until 2006 when he took a job at CCC as a career advisor for the Talent Search precollege program.

The Fort George Lovell Showroom is located at 14th and Duane streets in Astoria. Doors open at 6 p.m. Seasonal beers are on tap, and food and other beverages are available for purchase. Minors are welcome. Direct inquiries to Nancy Cook at 503-338-2335 or ncook@clatsopcc.edu

Hold Fast Tattoo Company & Gallery at 611 Broadway from 2:30 to 6:30 p.m. A map listing participating wineries and businesses will be available at the three I.D. check stations. Promptly at 3 p.m., the Wine Walkers are off and the fun begins. Attendees can follow the map stop-by-stop or go any way they wish. The event lasts four hours, giving everyone plenty of time to visit each winery. The wineries are allowed to sell unopened bottles, so if you find a new favorite you can take a bottle home. Most of the wineries charge a small tasting fee, making it an inexpensive way to ex-

perience new wines. All wine must be consumed in the host business, so it’s a great time to browse stores and find a gift for that special someone or a wonderful souvenir for yourself. Some businesses will have live music, so you can tap your toe while you taste. The annual Seaside Downtown Wine Walk started in May 2005. Every year in May and November, the SDDA hosts a wine walk to taste great wine, eat great food and have great fun.

Brix family records legacy with two new books Columbia River in 1881 with little more than a restless desire to succeed in this new land. The book focuses on the legacy the Brix family left on local areas and is an insightful contribution to the literature of Pacific Northwest forest history. Rare photographs from the family’s archives illustrate the story, together with images shared by historical museums and noted private collectors. Painstaking research was done on logging companies and their

railroads, which produced detailed maps drawn from U.S. Coast Guard overlays, aerial imagery, period company maps and on-the-ground investigation. “The Brix Maritime Story: A Century of Towboating and Barging,” written by Peter Brix, covers more than 100 years of growth of logging transportation by water. Brix Maritime (originally, Knappton Towboat Company) became a major contributor to marine transportation in the United States. Re-

counted by a third-generation Brix, who worked from deckhand to CEO in the family business, “The Brix Maritime Story” shows how logging and marine transportation were joined in the early 1900s, with towboats and barges playing a central role in economic growth in Washington and Oregon. As commerce expanded mid-century, and locks allowed vessels to pass upriver, Brix boats reached for broader territories and opportunity, ultimately providing service into Idaho, California and Alaska. The book includes photographs of more than 260 tugboats and 170 barges, complete with specifications. For the mar-

the Janet Cimino Estate. The items in the sale come from Cimino’s art collection. The sale opened April 20, and organizers were only able to make about half of Cimino’s collection available for purchase because of limited space. “Our first two weeks were so successful that we almost sold out and as a consequence were able to put the remainder of her collection up for sale,” Jill Hatier, exhibition coordinator, said in an email. The new items create a whole new inventory from which to choose, so if you’ve been to the sale before, it will be different if you return. Cimino’s collection is primarily from the Pacific Northwest, but also includes many pieces from England and Japan. Pieces include calligraphy, antique silk embroidery, and sumiyuri prints from the early 1700s. There is a collection of

Five Minutes With... ALEX KARAMANIS

Born and raised: Portland and Milwaukie. Lives now: Astoria. Your new short story collection, “Alex’s Bedtime Stories” has just been published by Amazon Kindle Publishing. What is it about? The collection follows a character from his childhood and adolescence through adulthood, recounting things that have happened to him: friendships, love, marriages, triumphs and tragedies. How did you become a writer and why do you write? I started in elementary school and write because I have to. It’s a compulsion and a pleasure. What inspires you? People’s incredible wealth of experiences and behaviors. What jobs have you

held in the past? Landscaper, teacher, dispatcher, office clerk, saw operator, stock boy, car wash attendant, executive recruiter. What do you do when you’re not writing? Ride my motorcycle, listen to music, make videos, not necessarily in that order. Favorite thing about living on the North Coast: The people. What’s a good book you enjoyed recently? “The River Why” by David James Duncan Are you working on anything else? Yes, a novel about the north coast and the people who have lived here. The best cure for a bad day is: Appreciation of the moment. Best piece of advice: Enjoy the ride.

Five Minutes With is a weekly Q&A with a local artist, musician, thespian or writer. If you are interested in being featured, contact Coast Weekend Editor Rebecca Sedlak at rsedlak@dailyastorian.com
