Hey Lover releases Astoria-inspired album ASTORIA — Portland garage-pop sweethearts Hey Lover will kick off the release of their third album “Sinking Ships” with a performance 9 p.m. Friday, May 6 at the Voodoo Room. The album is a love letter to Astoria; the band spent a lot of time writing songs and playing in town. Husband and wife Justin and Terah Beth Varga formed Hey Lover nearly a decade ago, playing their ¿rst show on their wedding night. Justin is on guitar and vocals while Terah Beth is on drums and vocals. (steemed Portland lo-¿

punk label Hovercraft released the band’s self-titled debut LP in 2007 and their 2011 follow-up, “Tennessee,” to local acclaim. The recent addition of bassist — and Hovercraft label head — Tim Janchar elevates the sound and dynamics of “Sinking Ships” to new heights. After the full-length album is released May 6, the band will play one show in Portland before a two-week run in Spain and France. The Voodoo Room is located at 1114 Marine Drive.

CANON BEACH — The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum will host an opening reception for textile artist Mary Arnold and her show “Coastal ReÀections” at 6 p.m. Saturday, May 7. Arnold will give a presentation at the reception. The exhibit integrates Arnold’s quest for artistic balance and love of nature.

Each piece is created with batiks — hand-dyed fabrics — and hand-painted fabric to create forest, beach and river scenes. Arnold likes to interpret and twist what we see in everyday life into unique and colorful fabric creations. She enjoys being able to take fabric and use it as others would use paint or pastels to create the images in the exhibit. Arnold is an accomplished textile artist who has shown her work internationally. She has won countless awards for her creativity and skill. This her solo show will

be on display through Sept. 11. This textile exhibit is sponsored by Cannon Beach’s own fabric store, Center Diamond, which has been selling fabric for over 20 years. The shop focuses on contemporary batiks, brights, Asian, landscape/ beach and modern fabrics, including a custom-made Haystack Rock batik and Tufted Puf¿n fabric and buttons. The museum is located at 1387 S. Spruce St. For more information, call 503-4369301.

Fisherpoet, environmentalist Dave Densmore to share stories Astoria, Alaska fisherman to read poems May 12 CANNON BEACH — Famed poet and fisherman David Densmore will read poems and stories at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 12. Densmore has appeared in the New York Times and Smithsonian Magazine, he was one of the subjects of a documentary called “Fisher

Poets,” and he has published several books of his writings. He is well known as an artist and fisherman on the coast of Oregon and in Alaska. He has appeared at events for the Bioneers, Astoria’s FisherPoets Gathering, Columbia Riverkeeper events, and at New Bedford’s Working Waterfront Festival. When not fishing in Alaska or writing in Oregon, he spends his free time in Belize and Guatemala.

Densmore is more than a fisherman and more than a poet — he is a staunch protector of nature and mother earth. His recent works are often more about the pain inflicted on Mother Earth by his fellow man than the contents of his fishing net, but the seas and the fishing life are his first love. The reading event is free and open to the public. Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is located at 1387 S. Spruce St. Coffee and tea will be

Speaker to discuss surveillance, privacy ASTORIA — Recent revelations about government surveillance, including Edward Snowden’s leak of the National Security Agency’s documents, have renewed worldwide attention to questions around privacy. Why is privacy important? What are the uses of surveillance? What are the dangers? What are the scope and consequences of government surveillance, and what are the ethical and legal limits of surveillance practices? This is the focus of “Keeping Tabs on America: Surveillance and You,” a free conversation with Kristian Williams at 6 p.m. Friday, May 6 at the Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th St. This program is hosted by the Astor Library Friends Association and sponsored by Oregon Humanities. Williams has studied state surveillance for almost 20 years, writing as both a scholar and a journalist. He is the author of “Our Enemies in Blue: Police and Power in America,” “American Methods: Torture and the Logic of Domination” and “Hurt: Notes on Torture in a Modern Democracy.” He is one of the editors of “Life During Wartime: Resisting Counterinsurgency,” as well as an occasional contributor to Counterpunch, Toward Freedom, and In These Times.

It’s Hamlet — with a happy ending? Astor Street Opry Company presents ‘Hamlet II’ parody ASTORIA — To spoof or not to spoof — there’s no question! For its annual spring fundraiser, the Astor Street Opry Company will present a reader’s theater production of Sam Bobrick’s hilarious sendup of the Bard’s most famous play: “Hamlet II (Better Than The Original).” Performances will take place at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, May 6, 7, 13 and 14, with one Sunday matinee on May 8. Where else but at the ASOC will you ¿nd the story of Hamlet with a happier ending? Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern are Groucho and Harpo Marx. Ophelia is a party girl. Hamlet is a pest. Yorick is a crazy comic. If you’ve had trouble grasping the intent of Shakespeare’s classic endeavor, this play should clear it up once and for all. The text remains true to good old Will Shakespeare’s basic fundamentals.

ASTORIA — His name is Monti Amundson, but most people call him Big Monti. A blues guitarist, Amundson is mighty not just in size but with talent and energy on stage: He sings and plays larger than life. Frequently compared to Stevie Ray Vaughan or Johnny Winter, Amundson has his own style. “I’m a blues guitar player in a band that plays rock ’n’ roll,â€? he says. Amundson doesn’t so much as straddle the line between the genres as bend it, ignore it, or race back and forth across it until both sides go up in Ă€ames. 7he blues of come straight from the heart and cut through your soul.

ASTORIA — The Astoria Sunday Market will once again open on Mother’s Day, May 8. To help celebrate, the Brownsmead Flats are back opening day as the featured band. The Northwest Lion & Dragon Dancers also return from Portland, bringing their colorful and lively dancers to parade through the market starting at 10 a.m. This year, Astoria Sunday Market is extending its season an additional week so that the closing market takes place the same day as the Great Columbia Crossing on Oct. 16. “We feel it is important to have the market in place for the runners and walkers,” explained market director Cyndi Mudge. Astoria Sunday Market runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Sunday from May 8 through Oct. 16 in downtown Astoria on 12th Street. New vendors this season include Bliss Nut Butters selling their line of peanut and hazelnut butter products; Pilot House Distillery is sampling and selling their spirits; the popular Sea Star Gelato from Seaside is bringing their own crafted gelatos to the market; and several new confection makers will be serving up trufÀes, toffee and a variety of peanut brittles. Returning vendors include artist Bill W. Dodge, who will unveil three new original paintings at the opening market. “Wonderment” is a small piece in his ongoing cat series, and “Surprise! It’s Halloween” is a slightly larger folk art piece depicting the holiday on a dark and stormy night. “The Joy of Snow” is described by Dodge as one of his “major” works, with a canvas size of 22-by-28 inches, and is a fanciful winter scene showing the

Unveiling art I 10 // COASTWEEKEND.COM

The 16th annual Spring Unveiling Arts Festival takes place May 6, 7 & 8 in Cannon Beach By DWIGHT CASWELL

n Cannon Beach there’s a sure sign that spring has finally arrived: the bold and colorful Spring Unveiling Arts Festival put on by the Cannon Beach Gallery Group. The 12 member galleries will exhibit recent work by more than 80 artists Friday, Saturday and Sunday, May 6, 7 and 8. Hope for good weather, but whether it’s rainy or sunny, a stroll through Cannon Beach this weekend will be a rewarding vernal experience. The new work revealed for the first time this weekend comes in almost every medium imaginable: watercolors; oils; sculpture in bronze, marble and metal; blown and cast glass; ceramics and jewelry. There’s something for any taste. Speaking of taste, you’ll

also have an opportunity to sample gastronomic art. This is a brilliant idea: Twenty-six chefs, candy makers and coffee houses have created culinary offerings based on artwork being unveiled in the galleries. Now there’s no reason to view art on an empty stomach. The Bistro’s chef Matt Dueber is presenting an Asian-style crab hors d’oeuvre based on a painting of a crab by Christopher Mathie at White Bird Gallery, a few doors down from the restaurant. Bill’s Tavern will serve seared ocean scallops with mango salsa inspired by Eric Abel’s “Gone Tropo” at Archimedes Gallery. The variety of food is as great

as that of the art. EVOO has even scheduled three cooking shows around art exhibits in three galleries (reservations required). Unfortunately you won’t be able to eat your “Tame the Beast Pork Stew” from Cannon Beach Café in front of Cannon Beach Gallery’s “Compendium of Beasts” show. Galleries frown on that sort of thing, even though it might provide interesting insights into creativity.

A good place to start your art tour is the “Wild Spirit”show at DragonFire Gallery (123 S. Hemlock St.), where 30 artists are unveiling work, and, in honor of the gallery’s 15th anniversary, 15 percent of the proceeds will go to the North Coast Land Conservancy. “We focus on original Northwest art,” says gallery owner Eeva Lantela. “We love group shows with themes. You can see the theme through the eyes of many artists.” There will be a wine and chocolate reception from 4 to 6 p.m. Friday with a presentation

by NCLC Executive Director Katie Voelke and a schedule of book signings, unveilings and artist demos throughout the weekend. If you miss this weekend, anything you buy in the “wild” section of DragonFire supports nonprofits. Bronze Coast Gallery (224 N. Hemlock St., Suite 2) has been around for 24 years, and it’s the kind of place you like to wander around just to see what’s happening in the world of sculpture. During Spring Unveiling, the gallery is display new metal work by Don Rambadt, for whom there’s a cocktail reception at 5 p.m. Friday, and naturalistic work in unique woods by Victoria Parsons, with a reception at 2 p.m. Saturday. Seth Vandable is in demand for monuments worldwide, as well as for sculpting figures for Marvel Comics (which you won’t see here); his unveiling will be at 6 p.m. Saturday, followed by a reception for all the artists. Across a small courtyard, Modern Villa Gallery will be unveiling work by three artists at 2 p.m. Saturday, and at 5:30 p.m. that evening there’s a candy buffet reception for the artists by Bruce’s Candy Kitchen and Four Graces Winery.

Jonathon Marshall’s paintings are brightly colored and retro, while George Perrou’s work has a giddy, cartoonish feel. David Wight will be showing new examples of his large freeform glass wave sculptures. Sales consultant Louise Whitehead explains that the glass contains 24 carat gold. “It took him years to perfect the process of adding a medium to the glass so that it didn’t crack in the oven,” she says. White Bird Gallery, at 251 N. Hemlock St., was a pioneer in showing both fine art and craft, having done so since 1971. The gallery will celebrate a 56-foot-long painting by Rumi Tsuda along an outdoor walkway on the north side of the gallery, as well as her smaller works inside.

SPEAKING OF TASTE, YOU’LL ALSO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAMPLE GASTRONOMIC ART. Cynthia Miller creates glass enamel fusions on copper, and White Bird Gallery will unveil her first larger pieces. “They really shine,” says gallery owner Allyn Cantor. “The unveiling is also a good opportunity to show the paintings Jacquiline Hurlbert has been working on for the past several years, in addition to the ceramic sculptures she’s known for.” There will also be a trunk show of jewelry by Melanie Brauner, who combines silver, copper and abaca paper. She

is a new artist for the gallery. “We’re really excited,” Cantor says. “Her work is really fresh and innovative.” Also included, of course, are the emotionally charged semiabstract paintings of Christopher Mathie. A reception for the artists will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday at White Bird. This weekend, from Friday afternoon through Sunday, plan to walk Cannon Beach from the north end (White Bird Gallery) to the south (Irish Table restaurant; its “Dungeness Crab Toast” was inspired by Jeffrey Hull’s “Hanging Out” painting, on display at his eponymous gallery). You’ll find a stellar display of art, two-dimensional, three-dimensional and gastronomic. What better way to welcome spring?

“Over the Lake” by Kelly Denato is part of the “LORE” show at Archimedes Gallery, an exhibition that explores the legend and mystery of what hides in the woods of the Pacific Northwest.

Astoria ice cream shop serves up creamy goodness, distinct fries Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

Frite & Scoop started at home. There, Kevin Malcolm began tinkering with ice cream. Eventually his hobby became obsessive, and when he and wife, Lisa, moved from Seattle to Astoria in 2014 they were astounded to ¿nd no shops offering homemade ice cream. They decided to take a chance, pairing Kevin’s ice cream fascination with Lisa’s penchant for Belgian fries (aka “frites”). They found an ideal location on the Astoria Riverwalk — perfect for wandering tourists. The interior is cute and friendly, with tables inside and on a covered, wind-shielded patio. Ordering at the counter can take a moment since Frite’s scoopers encourage customers to sample from the 12 different ice creams and sorbets in the freezer. There’s also a selection of baked sweets, including cookies, Rice Crispy treats made with brown butter and so on — all of which make ¿ne pairings with the frozen desserts. Savory selection is a lot easier. It’s about choosing a size — from Regular ($4) to Double ($8) — and some dipping sauces. The Double is a nice snack for two adults to share, but it’s certainly not a meal. The frites are twice fried. They’re cut thick and short, like husky steak fries. The two-part process affords a crispier crust while maintaining a softer center. It’s a process that Frite & Scoop monitors obsessively. Finding that ideal frying time — ¿ve minutes — was the result of relentless research. What the process yields is distinct, though it won’t have you re-thinking the very existence of fries. They’re served in an elevated cone with a steel base and a paper sleeve, salted with plain sea salt or a mild rosemary whose nuance only becomes apparent when one avoids the dipping sauces. But why would you want to do that" The Àavors are myriad, from

savory to sweet. They come in two basic tiers: free — which includes regular ketchup; a thin, mild honey mustard; and North Coast Fry Sauce, a ketchup-and-mayonnaise blend I found overly sweet — and premium, which cost 75 cents apiece. The paper cups are ¿rmly medium sized, and it’s a shame the ¿rst premium sauce isn’t included. Were a Double frites serving reliant on one premium dip, a single cup wouldn’t be enough. That was the case with the Malt Vinegar Aioli, which my companion and I — along with owner Kevin — agreed was our The Belgian frites come in two sizes absolute favorwith many choices of accompanying ite.

The berry in the Strawberry Oreo was second to cream and cake. The Chef’s Choice, which featured red fault-line streaks, tasted buttery with no hint of fruitiness that the color implied. Again, though: tremendous texture. In aggregate, cream was the dominant Àavor. 8nlike Buttercup in Nehalem, which conducts more radical Àavor experiments, Frite & Scoop inhabits a narrower lane — but it’s one Kevin and Lisa are in total control of. Indeed, sticking with the segments they’re most comfortable — and avoiding the ones they’re not — is what makes Frite & Scoop such a success. That, and the vibrant, caring, family-friendly atmosphere they’ve created for customers and employees alike. Indeed, Frite & Scoop represents the better instincts of modern food as well as the growth of Astoria. The two go hand-in-hand.

ASTORIA — Is there any rational doubt that the natural world is imperiled? &limate FhanJe 2Yer¿shing. Deforestation. Pollution. Loss of biodiversity. The list is endless and documented in the media every day. What is the role and responsibility of writers and artists in raising aware-

ness about these worsening threats to nature that also threaten human survivability? The sheer wonder of nature inspires many words, photographs, musical compositions, paintings and sculptures. For many creative types, it provides their sole motivation. The ongoing desecration of the natural world also instigates many writers and artists to take action through their work. But how else can creative types address pressing

environmental issues in their work? Perhaps the answer lies in something Jean-Paul Sartre wrote, “New problems demand new writing styles.” Join author and educator Matt Love for a unique writing and creative thinking workshop on Saturday, June 25 in Astoria that asks participants to reÀect upon their relationship to nature and seek new ways of raising awareness to protect and honor the natural world.

vendors will also sell artisan crafts. The Hispanic council will sell margaritas and beer. The event will feature live music by local DJ Sonidos Eres, cultural musical performances, and interactive Zumba dance lesson by Nayelli Dalida of the Astoria Arts and Movement Center. There will be a salsa

“Fresh and Wild”

recipe contest in which participants will bring their homemade salsa and a panel of judges will select the best salsa in Astoria. There will be indoor and outdoor family activities, a balloon darts game, bean bag toss and other arts and craft activities. Although many people

mistake Cinco de Mayo as being Mexico’s Independence Day, the holiday is actually a celebration of a victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Over the years, however, the holiday, which is arguably more popular in the U.S. than in Mexico, has evolved into less of a commemoration of that victory and more into a day of cultural celebration. That is the spirit in which this event is planned. The event is possible thanks to a grant from the city of the Astoria.

Gearhart >JܼԥU KlUW@ noun 1. A quaint city of 1,462 located on the Clatsop Plains three miles north of Seaside on U.S. Highway 101. First developed as a resort following the completion of the railroad between Astoria and Seaside in the late 19th century, Gearhart Park, as it is sometimes known, has many restaurants, hotels, the Pacific Northwest’s oldest golf course and plenty of beachfront homes along the dunes Origin: First appeared as a variant of the Old German surname Gerhard in 1629, which means “spear-brave” and was most likely given to a fierce Prussian warrior. Gearhart, Oregon is named for Phillip Gearhart, a pioneer from Missouri who began buying the

land that the current city would come to occupy in 1848. “‘Gearhart by the Sea’ is the way the hotels there tell of its location. It is more than ‘by the sea.’ It is also by the forest and by the mountain. Indeed, almost every charm that can be desired by a Summer resort is possessed by Gearhart. No wonder it is a popular place.”

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An OCCASIONAL FEATURE BY MATT LOVE

Clemente’s Café & Public House Everyone needs a place to unwind after a bad day on the job. Whenever the lessons or interactions don’t go well for me in the classroom — like today — I visit Clemente’s Café & Public House on Astoria’s Riverwalk and begin to rally. It was my father, a master teacher of 40 years, who taught me: “If a teacher doesn’t rally after a bad day, he’s dead.” That rally, my father added, must be a conscious effort, too. Ask yourself the tough ques-

tions. What did I do wrong? How can I get better? How much mercy do you give? I have no idea how the Clemente’s habit started. One Friday afternoon, I just found myself sitting alone at the bar next to an antique lantern so big I almost mistook it for a patron and said, “Hello.” The interior and exterior views from the bar are stunning: the Columbia River, the bar pilot boats coming and going, the 14th Street Pier, the Trolley, wandering Fun in the Sun or at the Beach Always starts with Visit to Mr. Doobees

tourists, birds, historical fishing photographs of the Tarabochia Clan, and a vintage Bumblebee Tuna seat cushion stuck in the rafters, near the ceiling. What this Astoria cultural artifact is possibly doing there is a profound mystery to me. I do know that one day I’d like to pull the cushion down and sit on it at the bar. I’d laugh a little laugh knowing that I was most likely the only teacher in the world trying to rally after a losing day in the classroom while sitting on a Bumblebee Tuna seat cushion. Sometimes I order up crab cakes or local albacore sashimi, in a lime, soy and cucumber marinade, the latter my favorite appetizer in town. Sometimes I even finish my beer. Sometimes I talk rock ’n’ roll with a rock ’n’ roll bartender. Mostly I just sit in silence, writing a bit here and there, and thinking about the job. By the time I’m out the door of Clemente’s, the rally is complete.
