This past weekend I went to my first Astoria-Warrenton Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival. You might have noticed the heavy traffic coming in and out of Astoria (I got stuck in it approaching from both the east and west on Friday and Sunday). The festival draws about 16,000 people to the area, and it’s one of the most popular with Coast Weekend readers. So I knew I had to give it a try. I meant to take a shuttle with my friends to the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, where the festival is held, but we ended up taking a taxi. I missed the shuttle ride (which I’ve heard can be pretty fun), but I tried my best to experience the fullness that the festival had to offer. Upon arrival, I picked out a stemless wine glass with this year’s logo decal. Two of my friends went for hand-painted glasses; one featured a pelican, the other a green turtle. With our cups in hand, we went out to sample wines from all over Oregon. I even had the good fortune to stumble upon this year’s gold medal viognier by Silvan Ridge
winery, which was a great find. I’ve heard several people say something to the effect that there’s more wine than seafood at the Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival. And while there were a lot of wine vendors (and a beer garden), to my newcomer’s eyes there was also plenty of seafood to eat. Vendors handed out free samples left and right. I tried some wild tuna and salmon, countless dips, pesto and even honey. And I dug into a delicious crab cocktail from the Bell Buoy of Seaside booth – in honor of the festival’s name and because I
love crab. The cocktail sauce had a distinctive horseradish kick and the crab was a great snack. Then there was the food tent: I sampled some Southern gumbo and piping hot fish and chips. One vendor that surprised me with its offerings was Sage and Sea Farms. The company makes hand-batch sipping vinegars, also known as switchel or shrub, from locally sourced fruit. Though at first I was a little skeptical, I found all four flavors that I sampled to taste amazing: the lemon had a tart zing, the marionberry delighted the sweet
tooth, the apricot was bright and summery, and the dandelion sample was flowery. Proprietor Deb Counts-Tabor told me the sipping vinegars could be enjoyed on ice cream or added to cocktails or non-alcoholic drinks for added flavor. It seemed like a good idea to me.

Coastal Life
Story by KATE GIESE
Shopping for clothes:
a rite of spring
For many women at this time of year, the quest for new clothes, shoes and accessories – in fabulous colors and fresh styles – may be understood as a form of celebration. We make like the burgeoning blossoms, the warming temperatures and other harbingers of spring: by shrugging off winter’s doldrums and donning the brighter colors and lighter fabrics of spring. If you’re planning to spruce up your wardrobe right now, read on as Kathy Kleczek, owner of La Luna Loca (LLL) in Cannon Beach, and Angela Waddell, owner of Four Seasons Clothes (FSC) in Astoria, share their thoughts on new looks for the season and some of the fun and fashionable wear they have in stock. While both women are mindful of and knowledgeable about haute couture and current fashion trends, they cater to the needs and preferences of coastal customers and tourists. “Here in the Northwest, we’re a little more practical,” Kleczek says. “Our weather doesn’t allow us to be super on-the-edge all the time.” “Ours is an eclectic shopping experience here on the coast,” adds Waddell. “Retail clothing shops typically try to avoid duplicating what others have as much as possible. We all strive to be different and unique.” If FSC doesn’t have something a customer’s looking for, its owner will refer her to another shop. “After all, we want to keep business on the coast whenever possible,” she explains.
La Luna Loca This will be La Luna Loca’s 15th year of doing business in Cannon Beach. Owner Kleczek designs most of the apparel she sells. Working from her designs, families in Bali, Thailand and Mexico actually produce the clothes, along with some terrific, one-of-kind accessories, such as custom-made leather handbags and jewelry. Apparel sizes range from six to extra-extra large at LLL. Kleczek characterizes her line as “easy wear that’s versatile.” The versatility part is very much a function of our changeable weather. “You can start light and easily add layers for more insulation,” she says. There are also multiple ways of wearing many of her creations – an item that’s worn as a
dress one season can work as a top in another. “People come in and don’t always know how to wear something, so they won’t try it on. If we can show them, they often go on to bloom and blossom.” According to Kleczek, “We like things to be open to your creativity and imagination and to inspire that. (Our clothes) have a lot of elements that you may see in fashion magazines or styles that are similar. But ours are made for real people and real bodies which have curves. What’s her advice when it comes to getting in the style groove as you shop? “A couple of good pieces can really freshen up your wardrobe,” Kleczek says. “Scarves are a great way to add a pop of color to an outfit.” She’s found that folks who live in the Northwest tend to be a bit color shy. “Color is your friend,” insists this designing woman. This doesn’t surprise, since her boutique is fairly bursting at the seams with color.

The clothes she sells are • Beautiful hose and fashionable tights from Italy mainly made in the U.S., Canada and Australia. She and France categorizes them as “Pacific Northwest Casual … any• Maxi dresses (on the scene for several years but thing from business casual to cocktail wear.” Available slow to catch on and extremely popular right now) sizes range from two to 16, with a limited selection of • Geometric and abstract prints 18. • Clothes in coral, mint green and yellow At FSC, shoppers will find dresses, trendy tops and • Free-flowing tunics jeans for younger gals alongside “contemporary misses” wear for the more mature shopper. They can wear many of the same styles but the fit is different for older women – in the back, at the armholes and waist. According to Waddell, diversity rules the day for fashion in the 21st century. “No one trend dominates the scene any longer (think mini skirt). You really have a lot of different directions you can go in making your personal fashion statement.” Women can opt for soft and feminine or go with a bold color-blocking look. The possibilities are practically limitless. Consider the humble pair of trousers; now they come cuffed or feature a wide leg, slim leg or “boot” leg cut. As far as updating your wardrobe is concerned, Waddell had this to say, “Go through your closet and get rid A variety of dresses at Four Seasons Clothing, including maxi of things you don’t wear – maybe replace something dresses and geometric prints, are available for that special black with a color piece. You can change your look by spring occasion. – ALEX PAJUNAS PHOTO adding just a few pieces to what’s in your closet. A festive touch may be achieved, for example, by simply La Luna Loca adding a beautiful scarf – either a large, drapey one or a smaller rectangular or square scarf.” 107 N.

Astoria Tuba Quartet. Submitted photo
Liberty Theater Sing and dance with the NCSB ASTORIA — What’s more important? Melody or rhythm? The North Coast Symphonic Band (NCSB) will attempt to solve this riddle at its concert 2 p.m. Sunday, May 5 at the Liberty Theater. The Astoria Tuba Quartet will provide pre-concert music in the lobby starting at 1:30 p.m. The performance is sponsored by Don Morden in memory of his wife, Anne Morden, who was a long time participant of the arts community. “Singing and Dancing with the NCSB Stars” is the theme of the spring concert. Conductor Dave Becker, a former professor of music at Lewis and Clark College in Portland, says, “Our singing and dancing theme is inspired by the essential ways we relate to and are drawn to music. By presenting melodic, lyrical pieces filled with catchy melodies and movement-oriented pieces with compelling rhythms, we expect to have plenty of audience members humming or singing along in their heads and lots of toes tapping in the Liberty Theater.” The afternoon concert will feature many of NCSB’s soloists: • The Astoria Tuba Quartet has entertained local audiences with tuba music for the past 25 years. Catch them and their lively tunes up close in the lobby before the afternoon concert begins. • Clarinet soloist Marten King will perform Rossini’s “Introduction, Theme and Variations for Clarinet.” King is a retired
engineer from the Portland area but performs locally with the NCSB and other groups. • Terry Dahlgren, music educator in the Seaside School District, will serve as guest conductor and perform in the trumpet section. • ChrisLynn Taylor of the Astor Street Opry Company will perform the “Sturdy Women Trilogy” from “Shanghaied in Astoria.” These songs are arranged especially for her and the band by NCSB resident arranger Dave Robertson. • NCSB horn player Bob Walters will lend his vocal skills to the finale number, and NCSB flute soloist Lauren Brady will play the piccolo solo in a Sousa march for the encore. The program also includes a set of Aaron Copland songs and “Suite of Old American Dances” by Robert Russell Bennett. Tickets are available at the Liberty Theater Box Office from 2 to 5:30 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday, by calling 503-325-5922, ext. 55, or at the door the day of. Regular admission is $10, and student tickets cost $8. Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by an adult. The NCNB is currently looking for additional clarinet players. Interested musicians should play at the advanced high school level, own their own instrument and contact NCSB Personnel Director Lee Stromquist at 503861-1328 or by email at encore1 @charter.net

‘THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE’
Dorothy (Shalin Wulf), left, is unknowingly offered a poisoned apple by Mrs. Meers, (Mary Wirkkala). The villainous Mrs. Meers is attempting to sell Dorothy into slavery to make money.

THOROUGHLY
ENTERTAIN The play’s the thing at Naselle Grays River Valley High School It’s rumored that Millie Dillmount is in the area. Watch out: She’s bobbed her hair and learned to Charleston. Dim the lights, and start the show. Naselle High School presents its spring 2013 high school musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie.” If you are fortunate enough to attend one of the five performances, get ready to tap your toes and clap your hands. The play – winner of six Tony Awards, including best musical – is set in the rip-roaring and racy 1920s of New York City. Small-town Kansas girl Millie Dillmount (played by Kayti Nelson), arrives in the Big Apple with one “modern” goal in mind: She’s out to land a rich husband. Instead, she finds herself drawn to Jimmy Smith (Jayson Cooley), a smart-mouthed apparent nobody with a mean streak, a funny side and – as you might have guessed – underneath it all, a heart of gold. Better yet, come and see the play where you’ll also meet the sinister Mrs. Meers (Mary Wirkkala), failed actress and owner of the Hotel Priscilla, a young

women’s boarding house with a lucrative and bustling white slavery business on the side. When Millie asks what happened to her old neighbor, Ethel, the evil Mrs. Meers says she “got an acting job in the Orient!” Add a couple of Chinese immigrants; poisoned apples; Dorothy (Shalin Wulf), a rich girl looking to live poor; and Trevor Graydon III (Cole Bergerson) a rich and very eligible bachelor with a team of tap-dancing secretaries. An extremely lively and captivating ensemble sing, tap and Charleston the play forward. NHS teacher Barbara Swanson is officially known as the drama director – “but also the music director, stage director and overall coordinator of the whole thing, which includes finding many others to help me,” she says. “We use one vocal coach, two light directors, two sound directors, one costume designer, several seamstresses, choreographers, two set designers, painters, two make-up designers, a make-up crew, etc., etc., etc. It doesn’t work without all of my ‘people.’” Naselle, Wash., is a jewel of a small town, located 12 miles up Washintong Highway 401. The high school’s formal name is Naselle Grays River Valley, but it’s known as Naselle High by locals. Directing and collecting the large “Thoroughly Modern Millie” cast and stage crew, comprised almost entirely of Naselle students grades seven through 12, is a feat in itself. All of the participating students have other after school commitments: sports, jobs, band – and that’s just for starters. Millie, aka Kayti Nelson, is busy with basketball, volleyball and band in addition to play practice.

It’s a musical miracle that Swanson gets the show produced – but she’s been making it work for 15 years at NHS. Spring musicals are in the air. Seaside High School just completed a run of “Changing Minds,” a musical that’s “delightfully bright, laugh-out-loud funny and had the audience singing and clapping along,” wrote Sayde Moser in the Seaside Signal. At Ilwaco High School, the musical “A Rockin’ Tale of Snow White” was just performed. It “featured singing bats and a rapping mirror – definitely a show worth going to,” wrote Hailey Keast in the Chinook Observer. Memorizing lines and song-and-dance routines has a plethora of learned life time benefits. Bonding as a part of a theater production takes commitment and dedication, develops self confidence and public speaking skills, and encourages ongoing creativity. A UCLA study concluded that students involved in the arts tend to achieve higher academic performances and better standardized test scores: nearly 100 points better on the SATs, according to another study by The College Board. With all the singing and dancing, cast and audience are sure to have a good time together at NHS. Musical theater, an art in our area high schools, benefits all ages. Encore! Encore!

Smith has also appeared on PBS and the National Geographic channel. Smith was recently interviewed by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku on his radio show “Science Fantastic.” For those who have not attended a lecture by Smith, you are in for a treat. Smith will discuss a topic close to his heart: space exploration, emigration and his latest book, “Emigrating Beyond Earth: Human Adaptation and Space Colonization.” Smith says that this book has been on his mind since the 1970s when his father gave him a

Lower Columbia Diversity Project Learn about Sikh history in the Pacific Northwest ASTORIA — The Lower Columbia Diversity Project invites the public to “Sikhs - Our History, Our Religion, Our Roots” 2 p.m. Sunday, May 5 in the Judge Guy Boyington Building, 857 Commercial Ave. Come to this fascinating look at Sikh history, religion and the Sikh community’s deep roots in the Pacific Northwest, presented by Jasmit Singh. There will also be a museum exhibit of historical and cultural artifacts and photographs. Everyone is welcome to this free community discussion, part of the LCDP’s Religious Diversity series. The first Sikh immigrants from the Punjab region of India arrived in this region in the late 1800s, working on farms, in lumber mills, and on railroads. Immigrants that arrived after the
1960s have been professionals, businesspeople and entrepreneurs. Despite their rich contributions to this region, Sikhs have been the targets of racism and discrimination, especially amplified in the United States since the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Jasmit Singh is a founding member of the Sikh Coalition, a national civil rights organization that works toward the realization of civil and human rights for all people. He currently serves on the Community Advisory Board of the coalition. Singh has also been involved with various philanthropic projects across the world, such as the Hate Free Zone of Washington, which promotes pluralism, and the Wing Luke Asian Museum of Seattle, which promotes and preserves recognition of the art and history

Spring Unveiling Ceramic artist Richard Rowland is the curator for the Cannon Beach Gallery Group's annual Spring Unveiling event. His anagama kiln is fired from wood gathered from a variety of sources that includes Home Depot, the Liberty Theater, driftwood and limbs with beaver teeth marks. The different wood sources are then transformed through fire to create ceramic works of art that will be showcased at the Cannon Beach Gallery as part of "Clay and Fire: Alchemy of the Potter." – ALEX PAJUNAS PHOTO

Story by VAL RYAN
In this most fickle of seasons it is hard to keep spring firmly in mind. Yes, there are fruit trees blossoming, but a day later, after attacks by wind and rain, their lovely blossoms are pasted all over cars and the sidewalk. Spring Break-ers start the day in shorts and flipflops and soon add hoodies, jeans and real shoes and socks. However, one thing may be counted on to surprise and delight: Cannon Beach Gallery Group’s annual Spring Unveiling event takes place May 3, 4 and 5 this year at galleries and shops throughout town. New art exhibits will be unveiled, new work will be spotlighted, and artist talks and demonstrations will happen all weekend, making this an outstanding experience for the art lover. All this will be accompanied by wine, small bites, early morning mimosas, a brunch here and there, and even some music to set the mood. In the gallery group’s words: “This event offers art and craft ranging from the playful to the sublime.” There are 12 galleries participating this year during the 13th annual Spring Unveiling. In a new twist that was successful last year and has grown even bigger this year, 25 restaurants, candy makers and coffee houses have created a special weekend addition to their menu, based upon a work of art they have selected from the galleries. Crepe Neptune is offering a special seafood crepe inspired by a painting of the fishing villages of Cinque Terre by Michael Tieman of Haystack Gallery. Debbie Nelson at Basketcase has a Haystack Coconut Mocha after seeing George Vetter’s image of Haystack Rock at sunset. At EVOO Cooking School you may join glass artists James Kingwell and Suzanne Kindland of Icefire Glassworks for a dinner show Saturday evening and the unveiling of one of Kingwell’s agate-inspired works. During the evening, the second of EVOO’s private wine labels will also be seen – and enjoyed – for the first time. At the Driftwood, the special offering will be razor and steamer clams, inspired by Steve Hanks’s painting “Moving On,” which hangs in the restaurant. All 12 galleries will be bursting with beautiful art, some from familiar artists, some new to Cannon Beach and all of it expertly crafted in its diverse forms. Art both traditional and contemporary is expressed in sculpture, glass, painting with acrylics or with dyes on silk, ceramics, extraordinary photography, watercolor and oil painting, exotic hardwoods and original art jewelry. Cannon Beach Gallery is showcasing “Clay and Fire: Alchemy of the Potter” with Oregon ceramic artists Jan Shield, Stan Gibson, Brad Mildrexler, Ken Pincus, David Campiche and Richard Rowland. The anagama kilns used by these artists create natural ash glazes on the pottery in a complex interaction getween flame, wood ash and minerals. An anagama (a Japanese term meaning “cave kiln”) consists of a firing chamber with a firebox at one end and a flue at the other. “In the art of earth and fire, the potters are true alchemists,” Rowland, the show’s curator, said. “They shift the properties of the elements and reassemble their chosen materials into allegory of form. They build simple ‘ovens’ to cook and bring fire to their work. They collect rocks and oxides to put texture and color into the mix. I have selected these artists to exhibit their work, not only because of their skillful abilities to make work, but also for their long and passionate commitment to the visual arts. Decades of making art have earned them the title of Contemporary Alchemists. According to Rowland, the anagama kiln creates community through its collaborative process. To fire it, they gather wood from many different places: the beach, torn down houses, old buildings, dead and down trees in the forest, pallets off ships and more. “All

of the wood that is used is emblamatic and sometimes metaphorical, but some is also very special, like beaver-chewed wood, lightning-struck wood, cascara and others,” Rowland explained in his artist’s statement. “This diversity, for me, makes my process magical. “I research the history and geology of all the materials I use and approach the work in a ‘haptic’ manner. (Haptic is defined as relating to the sense of touch; tactile.) The work is organic and alive, inseparable from life and our ever-changing environment in and outside

Water and fire are the glue that holds everything together for me. They create an open path, sometimes sticky and sometimes slippery, for transformation and discovery.” The creations emerging from the anagama kilns are distinctive among ceramic artifacts, medieval in feeling, earthy and grounded, with glazes not seen in any other process. Another must-see at Spring Unveiling is at Jewelry by Sharon Amber, a gallery filled with original, elegant treasures cafted by Amber. Her work is sought by discerning buyers from around the world. Her jewelry pieces include exotic pearls, brilliantly colored gemstones and dense black basalt pebbles. This year, in her new, larger space on the ground floor of Sandpiper Square, Amber will also feature several new guest artists. Sasha Samiels is one of them. Strongly influenced by her Tuscany home, she will unveil a new painting on Friday at 5:30 p.m. Then, on Saturday, Sharon will unveil a new piece of her art jewelry at 2 p.m. There is so much to see and do during Spring Unveiling that you have to have a plan in order to make the most of what is available. See a few galleries and then take in one of the restaurant offerings. That will fortify you for several more galleries. Be sure to check the schedule for special events and, most important, enjoy and revel in all the beauty to be seen in Cannon Beach, especially during these three Sharon Amber, of Jewelry by Sharon Amber, uses a special days.

Angelina’s
Pizzeria & Café On a bad day, pizza (and more) makes everything better for the Mouth
I
I read a quote once that “life is like pizza: When it’s good, it’s really good, and when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good.” And while I’m fairly certain these words didn’t pass the lips of Shakespeare or Yeats, that doesn’t make them any less accurate. In the case of a recent visit to Angelina’s Pizzeria & Café in Seaside, the pizza was good … really good, in fact. It had been – if I’m to be perfectly honest, readers – a bad day. You know the kind of day I’m referring to: Your alarm doesn’t go off when it’s supposed to, you get soaked walking from your house to your car, you’re late to work, and before you know it, what started out as a marginally “off” day has spiraled into a small disaster. I had one of these days recently, and as I grumbled to myself about my misfortunes, I wondered what might make me feel a little better. And then it hit me. Pizza! Pizza was the answer. I have lived on the coast a long time, and I thought I had tried every pizza place around. I have my favorites; a place I go if I want really great, flavorful crust, another place I go if I want inventive, gourmet toppings, and another place that is just average but delivers to my house. I must admit I had never visited Angelina’s before, and I was delighted to find they possess all of the above qualities. Don’t let their location throw you off. Located in a strip-mall setting across the U.S. Highway 101 from Safeway, they might be easy to miss. Inside, though, the space is warm and inviting, and the heavenly smells instantly put you in a hypnotic, hunger-induced trance. I began with the Greek goddess salad, reasoning that since I was planning to remedy my bad day with comfort food, it might be prudent to start with something “healthy.” The Greek goddess salad did not disappoint, and it could easily have been a meal in and of itself. A bed of greens topped with feta cheese, roasted red pepper, black olive, onion, roma

tomatoes, artichoke hearts and pepperoncini peppers was only made more blissful with a homemade lemon-herb vinaigrette and a crunchy, garlic-infused breadstick. The salad, at its incredibly low pricetag of $7.70, fills a platter-sized plate and is both substantial and sublimely flavorful. Up next was a slice of pepperoni pizza. The restaurant offers pizza by the slice at various times during the day, a nice alternative for diners who are in the mood for a quick meal or want to sample something out of the ordinary. Although I enjoyed the slice on the whole, the crust seemed a bit soggy, as if it had perhaps been sitting in a heated case for a while and had absorbed some of the fats of the cheeses that topped it. The flavors all meshed well, though, and the crust itself was elegantly flavored, with a subtle hint of rosemary and thyme that gave it a nice, earthy quality. I sampled next a personal-sized pizza, the “Lombardia,” topped with olive oil in lieu of marinara, prosciutto, gorgonzola and red onions. The

crust was much more solid and crisp this time, which I appreciated, as well as the fact that a simple olive oil was the base for the toppings. The flavors, unfortunately, did not marry well, although I think that in a different incarnation, they might. Let’s consider each ingredient for a moment. Prosciutto, a dry-cured ham, is typically served uncooked; this prosciutto had crisped in the oven, making it very salty and masking the subtle sweetness prosciutto is typically known for. Gorgonzola is also very salty, an assertive and odoriferous cheese, and can easily knock down other flavors nearby (or the unassuming bystander). And red onions, milder than some of their onion cousins, were lost completely in the flavor mix. If I were to improve the pizza, I would suggest substituting a caramelized onion for the red onion, adding some needed sweetness to counteract the saltiness of the gorgonzola, and adding the prosciutto in its uncooked, natural state once the pizza has come out of

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday to Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. PRICES:The prices are exceptionally low considering quality and portion size. Pizzas are sold in a variety of sizes; personal pizzas hover around $9, while large, family-sized pizzas are $18 to $22. Diners should watch for low-priced daily specials, including a lunch-time special that includes a single slice of pizza, a salad and drink.
ATMOSPHERE:Warm and inviting for its small size. Its location in a strip mall that overlooks a parking lot detracts a bit from its appeal. SERVICE: Friendly, informative; each dish arrived quickly. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: Excellent salads, vegetarian pizzas and vegetarian sandwiches. DRINKS:Traditional soft drinks, wine, a few Fort George Brewery beers, Italian sodas, coffee, iced tea and lemonade.
the oven. Alternately, an additional, sweet, fruity ingredient could be added, such as figs or pears (a common partner to gorgonzola). I think it is a solid concept for a pizza, though, and could be improved with a few minor changes. An enormous Stromboli calzone was my favorite dish of the evening, with the same subtly spiced crust as the pizza and filled with all sorts of goodness, namely pepperoni, spicy sausage, olives, mozzarella, basil and marinara. Each bite was packed with flavor, and the serving was much more than one person could eat in a sitting. I also sampled a pasta dish, the baked ravioli, and found it a good option for those who aren’t interested in pizza. Having already eaten a week’s worth of calories, I decided I might as well order dessert. To be quite frank, I’ve never known the dessert to be a strong suit at any pizza place, but this one was delicious and inventive, a strawberry calzone with vanilla crème. I’m sure that my expression, as I was eating, looked puzzled; with each bite, I tried to ascertain just how this dessert could taste so magnificent, but I couldn’t figure it out. The best I can compare it to is a cross between toast with grandma’s strawberry preserves and a fluffy strawberry shortcake. It was a heavenly and surprising end to the meal. I left Angelina’s feeling several things: namely, a whole lot better about my day, extremely full and excited for my next visit.

Hickory Mertsching Artist talk on tap artist reception ASTORIA — Imogen will host
Still life paintings have a tale to tell ASTORIA — Hickory Mertsching, a Portland artist noted for his allegorical still life paintings that combine unusual collections of objects, will exhibit new work in a solo show at Astoria’s RiverSea Gallery. An opening reception and artist presentation is set for 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, May 4. The exhibition continues through May 28. Mertsching’s still life paintings are meditations on the often bizarre clash between man and nature. Each painting depicts a point where contemporary culture and the natural world inter-
sect and collide. Humanity is referenced only by its discards, but nature is unfettered and on the ascendant. In his basement studio, Mertsching constructs assemblages of flora and fauna juxtaposed with mundane objects that are the detritus of modern civilization. The result is a sculpture-like composition rife with symbolism. Inherent tension leads the viewer to consider a message about the cycle of life. Working in a style influenced by 17th-century Dutch realism and American post-war pop art, he

precisely renders each detail, from the lustrous plumage of a bird to the metallic gleam of the beer can that forms its perch. After completing his BFA, Mertsching worked for more than a decade in a fine art bronze factory, while honing his drawing and painting skills. He enjoys the hands-on process of building

canvasses, milling his own custom frames and researching props to add to his vast collection. Mertsching turned to painting as a full-time profession years ago, and has regularly exhibited in galleries in Portland. This is his first solo show at RiverSea. RiverSea Gallery is located at 1160 Commercial St. For more information, call 503-325-1270, or visit riverseagallery.com Los Angeles, San Francisco and Denver. Wadhams has been a resident of Portland since 1993. Last year he played the role of Dan in the musical “Next To Normal” at Artists Repertory Theater. For more info, visit billwadhams.com
an artist’s talk by Portland artist Jennifer Mercede 6 p.m. Friday, May 3. Mercede will be on hand to discuss her current solo exhibition “Splat: A Spring Show” and other facets of her career as a painter. She is known for her colorful style. The series of paintings refuses containment, much like Mercede’s energy. The collection of abstract and wildlife-inspired paintings will be on exhibit through Tuesday, May 7. After graduating with a fine arts degree from Western Washington University, Mercede left academics for the more casual atmosphere of Portland’s Alberta District. Mercede, who has a lifelong love of art, is not afraid to bend the rules of painting; she has developed her own set that for her mixed medium creations. Mercede’s describes her work as “designed to uplift your soul. It is positive, spiritual in origin and one look at the honesty and warmth captured in my pieces
"Lion Star" by Jennifer Mercede. – SUBMITTED PHOTO
makes a viewer smile. My process is what’s important to my art, more than anything else. Each painting is another chance to let go, to be free, to escape all rules and restrictions.” In Mercede’s confident approach, there is no such thing as a mistake. Her work has been exhibited throughout the country, she has illustrated and published a children’s book and been a featured artist on OPB’s ArtBeat program. She has gone from being a street artist in the Alberta District to a nationally respected painter, and she still delivers art by bike to her Portland galleries. Imogen Gallery is located at 240 11th St. For more information, call 503-468-0620 or visit www.imogengallery.com

Maritime Memorial Park America’s oldest walking event hits Astoria’s streets ASTORIA — On Saturday, May 4 at Maritime Memorial Park, hundreds of families and business leaders will join together in the March of Dimes’ annual March for Babies – the nation’s oldest walk fundraiser honoring babies born healthy and those who need help to survive and thrive. This year’s walk is special, as March of Dimes celebrates its 75th anniversary and its ongoing work to help all babies get a healthy start in life. More than four million babies were born in the United States last year, and the March of Dimes has helped each and every one through research, education, vaccines, and breakthroughs. One of Oregon and southwest Washington’s official ambassadors, the Hanset family, will be walking and sharing their
story to raise awareness for the March of Dimes mission. Holdyn Hanset was born at 24 weeks gestation, weighing just one pound, eight ounces. Although he was given a four percent chance of survival, he is now 3 years old and has met, and in some cases exceeded, his developmental milestones. The Hansets are raising money and walking in March for Babies in the hopes that one day all babies will be born healthy. Joining the Hanset family, and so many others, are key sponsors like First Tech Federal Credit Union and KeyBank. Registration begins at 7:45 a.m. with the 5K walk kicking off at 9 a.m. Participation in March for Babies will provide a memorable and rewarding day for the whole family including crafts
and other kid’s activities, hot dogs after the walk and more. To join in, visit marchforbabies.org, or call 800-525-9255 to sign up as an individual, to start a corporate, family or friends team, or donate to help babies be born healthy. Funds raised by March for Babies help support prenatal wellness programs, research grants, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) family support programs and advocacy efforts for stronger, healthier babies. The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. For the latest resources and information, visit marchofdimes.com or nacersano.org.

Marga Stanley, as a girl. Stanley is an artist showing at Tempo Gallery in Astoria, and she does a radio show on KMUN every other Thursday. – SUBMITTED PHOTO
Five Minutes With... MARGA STANLEY Born and raised: I was born in Canada Lives now: After spending a short while in the British West Indies and other parts of the U.S., my husband and I decided to make Astoria home. What art mediums do you work in and where do you show your art? I have shown my work in Canada, the British West Indies and the U.S. My work is primarily watercolors, gouache and acrylics, but recently I have found papier mache and wire sculptures interesting and fun. Presently my work is at the Tempo Gallery, a newly formed artist collective, located at 1271 Commercial St. in Astoria. We are sharing the space with the Astoria Music Festival office – what a wonderful combination of art, music and good people! What do you strive to portray in your art? Hopefully my work will give the viewer a sense of whimsy and optimism. Tell me about your radio
show. I love doing my little "Bedtime Stories in Marga's World.” Sometimes I write my own stories when I can't find one to fit the theme I'm going for, trying to make each show uplifting and fun, combining stories and music for both the young, the old and everybody in between. It's on every other Thursday at 8 p.m. on KMUN 91.9 FM. (And yes folks, that was a plug!) What is one of your favorite memories as a child? My childhood was not the normal "Father Knows Best" or "Leave it to Beaver," but I'm sure the eccentricities of my youth has been paramount in my creative process. What is your best piece of advice? Work with what you have, making it the very best it can be and be compassionate and kind along the way. How do you relax? I love spending time creating, and I enjoy watching a good movie with my husband.
Five Minutes With offers a Q&A with an artist, musician, thespian or writer involved in the local art scene. If you are interested in being featured, contact Coast Weekend Editor Rebecca Sedlak at rsedlak@dailyastorian.com

Astoria Hampton Inn Elton Bennett silkscreens in two-day show ASTORIA — Elton Bennett original silkscreens will be on display at an art show and sale 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5 at the Astoria Hampton Inn, 201 39th St. The exhibit is presented by Barbara Bennett Parsons of Hoquiam, Wash., the artist’s daughter. “I have carefully conserved (my father’s) collection and am maintaining the greater portion for donation to a museum,” she said. “Because of the dwindling supply of originals, I have not shown the work for the past five years. I recently had my first exhibit since the break in Olympia.” Elton Bennett was born in 1910. Grays Harbor, Wash., was his home and the source of his renderings of forests, beaches and rivers and the ships that supplied lumber and fish to the world. He lived in Hoquiam, Wash., until his untimely death in 1974 , but his art continues to live on. The artist’s silk-screens are cherished by those who recognize the artistic style and devotion to the home he loved. His realistic impressionism was ideally suited to the silkscreen process. Each print was hand done by him, and no two are alike. He delighted in his ability to alter his combinations of screens and change the color in

He struggled to become a full-time artist and spent many years working as a machinist at Lamb Grays Harbor, at Weyerhaeuser, and on the dredge. His artwork reflects the working environment and the serene landscape. He was unusual in seeing the beauty that exists in a smoking mill stack. We all notice and appreciate our own world much more when a fine artist causes us to stop and take notice. A portfolio of original silkscreens will be for sale, as well as a selection of prints.

MANZANITA — Two long-time local writers and emerging new publishers, Elia Seely and Nancy Slavin, will celebrate the publication of their novels 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, May 4 with a Press and Book Launch at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita. The two writers created Feather Mountain Press as a publishing venue dedicated to writers whose novels are wellwritten, literary and include soulful characters and storylines. “I am the queen of super-nice rejection letters,” Slavin says. “I had many reputable editors and agents say that my novel is lovely and good, but not sellable enough for today’s market. Elia and I understand what drives the popular market, and we know publishing has changed dramatically in the past few years. Our novels don’t include zombies, werewolves or over-descriptive sexual content, and we weren’t interested in writing those books. We decided to start our own press because we wholeheartedly believe readers still want stories that transport them to compelling places and include people with struggles and transformations they can relate to in their current lives.” “There are many writers like Virginia Woolf who started their own presses,” Seely adds. “They
Feather Mountain Press & Book Launch 4 to 7 p.m. Saturday, May 4 Hoffman Center 594 Laneda Ave., Manzanita feathermountainpress.com published their own books and then published the works of other authors who came to be well-known.” Seely’s novel, “Whisper Down the Years,” is a literary mystery set in Orkney Island off the coast of Scotland, where the protagonist, Finn Ross, has retreated to find clarity about his dissolving career and marriage. Ross unwittingly discovers the body of a local musician. An enigmatic island girl and her grandmother join Finn in his pursuit of the mystery, and all three find themselves caught in a web of lies and secrets, revealing threads of old sins and links to shadowy witchcraft. Slavin’s novel, “Moorings,” follows a young woman, Anne Holloway, as she journeys from the lower 48 up to Alaska to find her biological father. While unraveling the violent, deceitful truth about her family’s history, Anne’s presence precipitates

break-ups, boat crashes and even unexpected storms. By making the journey, Anne discovers true identity can be found within. Feather Mountain Press’s goal is to provide a platform for other writers who write in traditional genres – mystery, western, commercial, etc. – but step out of the box and elevating their stories with intelligence. By the end of the year, Seely and Slavin look forward to finding new books for Feather
Mountain Press that can soar. The Feather Mountain Press Book Launch is open to the public and refreshments will be served. After Seely and Slavin read from their novels, there will be time for a question-and-answer session. Book sales will be provided by Cloud and Leaf Bookstore in Manzanita.
