Our program consisted of “choral gems,” that is, compelling, beautiful choral songs that have been celebrated and enjoyed by many people for many years. The program moved forward in a loose chronological way, starting with Bach and Handel, moving to Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, then on to Brahms, and into the 20th century with Gabriel Fauré, Randall Thompson and some Shaker hymns and a gospel tune. I had sung two of the choral gems before when I was in high school. Bach’s “Alleluia,” from Motet VI, “Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden,” is complicated and fast, and the trick is to keep it light and buoyant. Mendelssohn’s “Lift

Coastal Life Story by DAVID CAMPICHE • Photos by DWIGHT CASWELL

A CLASS FOR

THE AGES Willapa National Wildlife Refuge will teach local fourth graders about Pacific County’s natural environment and ways to help it heal and flourish

T

The challenge is simple enough to explain: Changes to the planet will evolve through our children, and then, through theirs. Changes happen naturally through evolution, intentionally through education. Throw into the mix a sprinkling of Tinkerbell pride and knowledge, and then we might be looking at a green revolution. A planet healed and healthy — we all wish for this. At the Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, environmental education is a key factor toward this enlightenment. This year, on May 19, 20 and 22, refuge staff and local volunteers will administer a three-stage environmental program to the fourth grade students of 3DFL¿ F &RXQW\ DQG LWV VHY eral school districts. Lauren Goodmiller is the environmental education coordinator for the refuge. She has a smile and enthusiasm to melt ice. She is looking for more volunteers. I met with a half-dozen of these volunteers at the Willapa Refuge Headquarters on the Naselle River. After hugs and handshakes, Goodmiller and the volunteers laid out the elements of their program, the one that will be shared with the fourth graders. The volunteers will make presentations at three stations, titled: forest, fresh water, and estuary (salt and brackish water). Each of the students will stop at each station for 10 minutes. Beyond watching and learning, the exchange is a two-way street. As Rose Power, a peninsula resident and weaver explains, “We teach the kids, and the kids teach each other. Along the way, the kids teach us.” In other words, all is one happy family of environmentally conscious human beings, both

young and old. “Bottom line,” says James Lev, of north county, “is instilling a vested interest in the rivers and ED\ WKDW LQXQGDWH 3DFL¿ F &RXQW\ ´ 7KRVH ULYHUV run through forests. Tumble down granite-faced gorges, make riversong until, ultimately, they reach the ocean. Not such a long journey, but one that invests richly in our future. In one demo, the volunteers, aided with the presence of a rough-skinned newt, demonstrated how the small creature always sought out the natural environment of lichen, ferns and moss over an alternative landscape of dried and arid needles, twigs and dirt. The highly toxic newt — don’t swallow one — instinctively knew its comfort level. In slow plodding steps, it moved, every time, toward protection and shelter. In another demo, the disSRVLWLRQ RI D FOHDU À RZLQJ river was compared to a damaged stream. While studying the use of improper culverts — or where there was rampant destruction of the riparian zones that parallel the rivers — one clearly could see the breakdown of the natural environment that supports the wide inundation of salmon, steelhead, trout and dozens of local critters. The kids will watch and learn: Tiny larvae of fresh water mussels (western Pearlshell) attach themselves to the mature salmon. Through that evolution, vital nutrition is distributed up and down river. The impact of warmer water on the cultivation of oysters will also be a topic of discussion. So will EH WKH FRQVHTXHQFHV RI DFLGL¿ FDWLRQ LQ :LOODSD Bay. All these elements knit together in a dramatic

web that supports the health of our rivers, bays and forests, and that is the root of these lessons. These are just a few of the sessions to be shared with the grade school students in mid-May. Beginning of May 19, students will gather on Tarlatt Slough near the PUD station on Sandridge Road. Tarlatt Slough runs off the Willapa and ends its meandering course in the ocean at the end of Holman Road in Seaview. The stream was a pipeline for the Chinook Nation for hundreds of years. It might be said that today, Tarlatt Slough is a pipeline for our children, for their growth and illumination. Willapa Bay is the cleanest estuary in the 48 contiguous states. It grows 20 percent of country’s consumed oysters. The oyster growers guard this body of water with ferocious determination. Aided by the dedication of the Willapa wildlife managers and their devoted staff, and with the added stimulus of acquired knowledge from our children, this lovely bay and its resources can grow and prosper. As these kids become empowered players in the battle for new world survival, they learn that our planet could still become a verdant and rich ecological haven for future generations. It could become, in the eyes of these volunteers and Goodmiller, a fait accompli.

Lauren Goodmiller, environmental education coordinator for Willapa National Wildlife Refuge, is seeking more local adult volunteers to help with an environmental education program with fourth grade students at the refuge.

ecky Graham eats, sleeps and dreams plants — to say she is a gardener only hints at her story. She will share her talents (the plural is correct), including her extensive knowledge of plants, landscape design, containers and the ongoing nurturing of things that grow, at the Astoria Co-op Grocery’s next food and wellness lecture series, Beers to Your Health. Mark your calendars for 7 p.m. Thursday, May 14, and head to the Fort George Brewery’s Lovell Showroom. Graham’s landscape business, Harvest Moon Design, has been showing and growing itself in Astoria for over seven years. Fondly labeled “the parking lot gardener� by the Astoria Co-op crew, Graham has transformed the store’s entry. “Somehow she makes it really beautiful. Our customers love looking at the different plants that she rotates seasonally. We get lots of positive feedback,� says Astoria Co-op Grocery General Manager Matt Stanley. Another of her projects involves the healing garden at Columbia Memorial Hospital. And over at Astoria’s Hotel Elliott, John Nelson, the hotel’s general manager, says, “We constantly get compliments about our entry boxes and the

ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, May 9. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits.

ART BUSINESSES 1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Jennifer Mercede brings a collection of fresh paintings, a combo of bold floral paintings and wildly expressive abstracts. Working small to large, each finished painting expresses a quality of joie de vivre; exaggerated use of color and brilliant brush stroke jump from surface, as if trying to escape containment. She has illustrated and published a children’s book, been a featured artist on OPB’s ArtBeat program, and created a two-story-tall mural on the façade of the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum. 2. Old Town Framing Company 1287 Commercial St. Work by Jeff Donnelly is back at Old Town. Donnelly has experimented with many different styles but is continually drawn to the landscapes. His great sense of lighting captures you. 3. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. Oregon artist Leslie Lee shows “Metaphor to Magic.” This collection presents some of her oldest paintings with many of her newest to document her journey as a painter. Lee was recognized for 30 years for her figurative clay sculpture, then spent a decade painting figurative subjects cloaked in metaphor. She has recently transitioned to a loose and playful abstract style. Exhibiting in the Alcove is Portland artist Gia Whitlock with her mixed-media painting show “Tender Age in Bloom.” These lushly rendered, fanciful interpretations of nature are close-up landscapes of flowers and foliage layered with intriguing biomorphic forms in a jumble of soft colors. 4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo will feature artist Phyllis Taylor, who has taken a break from flowers to do a painting of the Astoria Trolley. Her husband, Kent, a trolley motorman,

spent hours repainting the trolley this winter. Taylor is a member of the Peninsula Artist Association, Bloomington Watercolor Society and the Astoria Society of Artists. Refreshments will be served. 5. Ratz & Company 260 10th St. Showcasing the artwork and illustrations of owner Dave McMacken, the gallery will feature McMacken’s paintings and his early work in the rock ‘n’ roll biz, which garnered him a place in the Album Cover Hall of Fame. 6. Laughing Duck Digital Pond 120 10th St., Suite. 3 7. Astoria Art Loft 106 Third St. The Astoria Art Loft will host its grand opening from 3 to 6 p.m. Enjoy music by Peter Hinsbeeck and Scott Warren as well as wine and goodies. Many resident artists will show their work, including acrylic artist Elizabeth Bonn Zimmerman, oil painter John Wecker, mixed-media artist Bonnie Wolgamot, and acrylic, ceramic and mixed-media artist Barbara Odems. Owner-artists Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, Jeannette Davis and Ellen Zimet have several new pieces. Visit AstoriaArtLoft.com for more information.

duced it in 1967 at her Barcelona gallery, Refugi d’Art. Paintings are sculpted on canvas-covered board. The multi-media sculptures can be a combination of clay with natural fibers, marbleized for durability, then painted in acrylics and oils. She also adds driftwood, shells, ground marble and feathers. 9. Forsythea Home & Garden Arts 1124 Commercial St. This month, Forsythea highlights the new work of several regional artists. There are handmade baskets by Connie Ford, watercolor paintings by Dian Schroeder, hand-carved emu eggs by Garri Linardos, wearable ceramic mosaic pendants by Renee’ O’Connor and oneof-a-kind jewelry boxes by Christine Trexel. 10. Pier 11 77 11th St. Find multi-media art, jewelry, paintings and more by local artists at the Pier 11 Mall. 11. Sea Gypsy Gifts 1001 Commercial St. Check out new items; all handmade jewelry is on sale. See original artwork, handmade bath and body products, candles, glass garden flowers, whimsical bottle lamps, garden decor, furniture and more. Snacks and refreshments will be served. 12. Street 14 Coffee 1410 Commercial St. 13. Astoria Visual Arts’ Artist in Residence 1170 Commercial St. Astoria Visual Arts’ artist-in-resident Sarah Hendrickson will share her works and studio with the public. With her studio space, Hendrickson is doing something she’s wanted to do for years:

weave a magic carpet. “I’ve always been a painter, and love it, but have been increasingly fascinated by the shapes and color choices in rugs and tapestries,” she says. “It requires a totally different way of thinking to produce an image.” Hendrickson built an 8-by-8-foot tapestry loom from scratch. “It’s the most running-around-physical project I’ve ever done: hoisting this, shoving that, running circles around the room,” she says. The studio location above Commercial Street lends itself to the spirit of the project. “While I’m up there I like to open the windows wide and watch and listen to the goings-on of town while I’m working. This is a bonus I didn’t expect, as I feel like I’m weaving the town, day and night, right into the tapestry,” she says. “In the past, I’ve struggled and even taken breaks from making art because it can feel so lonely, but this situation is the best of all worlds.”

ALSO FEATURING ORIGINAL ART 8. Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. Local artist Terrie Remington’s vision is to capture the essence of a subject. “I need to get to the passion of it — the emotional fire — the driving force,” she says. The tactile quality of her sculptural paintings provides depth and energy; the colors speak in a more ethereal realm. Remington developed the sculpture painting technique during her 11year residency in Spain and first intro-

Rowland says, “It was an honor to be there, to hear people tell the stories of their lives.â€? Six of the artists at that gathering will now present their work in Astoria, at an event that is both cultural exchange and art exhibition. “Uku-Aotearoa: The Spirit of Materialsâ€? opens at 6 p.m. Thursday, May 7 at the CCC Art Gallery.

Dorothy Waetford’s early career began as a performing artist as a member of the contemporary Maori dance company Taiao, based in Auckland, New Zealand. Excited by developments in the contemporary Maori art scene, her interest led her to choosing clay as a preferred medium for art making.

Rowland explains that Maori artists are “like any other artist, but more of a collective. Their work is representative of who they are as an individual, and who they are as a culture.â€? Master Maori artists are the elders in what is, essentially, a family of apprentices whom they mentor. “When I am with them,â€? Rowland says, “I feel like I’m with family. I’m blessed.â€?

In the mood for a traditional deli sandwich? Then try

The Promenade, left, a classic, deli-style turkey sandwich, features a balanced combination of components. In comparison, the MegaTsunami Pastrami, right, with its pound of pastrami, is too absurdly meat-heavy to be an enjoyable, practical or tasty sandwich.

But in the distance, an enormous tidal wave looms, big enough to engulf the entire town. At Tsunami, that tidal wave comes in the form of pastrami. While promotional photos often exaggerate portion size, the giant heaping of pastrami featured on Tsunami’s advertisements is no ruse. The shop’s “MegaTsunami Pastramiâ€? sandwich ($18.25) is huge. I ordered it, and the cheerful staff got busy, placing handful after handful of thin-cut pastrami onto a scale until the weight of the meat alone totaled one pound. $W Âż UVW LW VHHPHG OLNH fun. And, in a way, it was. When the sandwich arrived at the table, pastrami stacked high and spilling out the sides, I couldn’t help but smile. Then there was the matter of getting it into my mouth. Like an elephant stepping on a banana, pastrami exploded in all directions as I bit down. The taste was enjoyable, but not enough to make me forget my favorite Jewish deli. Quickly though, charm gave way to absurdity, as the mass of pastrami soaked the marble rye bread. Though the horseradish mustard was peppy enough to peak through all that meat, the Swiss cheese all but vanished. It was more akin to easting a pile of pastrami with a bit of mustard than an actual sandwich. And while I only ate half — along with half of another, a lighter, turkey sandwich — my gut was bombed. All that beef left me less than limber, lumbering an hour later, even after a two-mile walk. Indeed, why anyone would seri-

ously want to consume an entire pound of pastrami along with bread and cheese remains a mystery. Rather than opting for novelty, I opined for the tried and true. I wished I’d ordered the Lewis and Clark ($9.75), a regular-sized pastrami sandwich leavened with sauerkraut, Thousand Island dressing and Swiss cheese. The Promenade ($8.75), however — a classic, deli-style turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomato, red onion, and a subtly elevating olive spread — was right on. The serving of turkey was hearty, as was the multi-grain bread.

To their credit, Tsunami proudly displays the signage of their providers, making no attempts to confuse what is or isn’t made in-house. The pastrami and other meats come from Thurmann’s (New Jersey); the breads from a bevy of bakers, including Oroweat, and a gluten-free option from Udi’s. The clam chowder comes from Ivar’s (Seattle). How that chowder makes the cut, though, I fail to understand. It was generic, thin and overpriced ($4.75 for a cup). And though I didn’t try it, a peek at the chili didn’t make me want to. By and large, the sides at Tsunami fail to match the thoughtfulness, taste or value of the sandwiches.

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

thor Series. The event will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, May 9 at the library. The event is free, and the public is welcome. “Sunland” is the story of a mid-30s man, between jobs and short on funds, who moves back to Tuscon to take care of his beloved grandmother. Finding his grandmother’s pharmacy drugs much cheaper across the border, he becomes a prescription drug mule. This book takes the reader across all kinds of borders, yinning and yanging between Mexico and the U.S., youth and age, faith and betrayal, legal and outlaw, sober and stoned, and last but by no means least, love and the void. The writing is gorgeous, the characters ring true, and the story hurtles along with many a hairpin twist and turn. Waters, also author of a story collection, “Desert Gothic,” sneaks some serious issues into what is most often a lighthearted, sometimes zany account of a compassionate man who cares

about his elderly clients, keeps meticulous records of the meds he supplies them, and genuinely enjoys their company. Waters won the Iowa Short Fiction Award for “Desert Gothic” and has spent years living in the Southwest desert, which is evident through his beautiful description of the harsh, unforgiving and often gorgeous landscape. The real achievement of “Sunland,” however, is the way Waters develops his main characters. Waters has been anthologized in the Pushcart Prize, Best of the West, and New Stories from the Southwest. A frequent contributor to the San Francisco Chronicle, he has also written for the NYT Book Review, Outside, The Believer and Slate, among other publications. He is a graduate of Skidmore College and the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. Originally from Reno, Nevada, he now lives in Portland.

Smith, the original native name for this lake was Ya-se-ya-ma-na-la-tslas-tie. The current name is in honor of Cullaby, a popular Indian gunsmith of the Clatsop Plains. “In their Journal Lewis and Clark

write of the Tillamook Indian with a fair skin and blue eyes; and John Minto, in 1846, at Morrison’s, near the Tillamook coast, saw a fair Indian girl, so pale that he thought she was sick. She was the daughter of Cullaby, the friendly native for whom the lake east of Clatsop is named, and when Minto talked with Cullaby about the fair-haired Indian of Clark’s acquaintance, Cullaby smote his breast and cried: ‘Nika Papa’—‘He was my father.’” —“Legend of the Lost Galleons: Some Truth and Some Speculation About Spanish Treasure Buried on Clatsop Beach,” The Sunday Oregonian, Dec. 8, 1907, Magazine Section, P. 4

“Cullaby Lake, named for a local Indian celebrity, is on the northern part of Clatsop plains and formerly made its outlet through Necoxie Creek, first north and then south to the estuary of the Nacanicum River. Cattle grazing along the lower Necoxie cut the nearby sands which were shifted by winds, thus damming the creek and forming Necoxie Lake. A short section of Necoxie Creek still flows into the estuary, but the lake drains to the north back toward Cullaby

Ash carried as far as Missoula, Montana. The volcano bloomed a mushroom larger than the one that crested above Hiroshima in 1945. Scores of people lost their lives; others had a harrowing experience seared into their brains in vivid detail. Geologist Richard Waitt was one of the first on the scene. Waitt’s comprehensive, exhaustive — some might say obsessive — chronicle of the Mount St. Helens’ eruption dips into many different disciplines and combs through hundreds of interviews he has conducted over the last three decades to recreate the vastness of this destructive, natural event that began unexpectedly on a distant May morning. Take Away: By blending hard scientific journalism with oral history, Waitt has managed to construct a linear model of the geological phenomena as it sailed and spilled in real time, edited from multiple perspectives (air,

ground, distance), and told in a choir of eyewitness’ voices. Peppered with breathtaking photography, the result of Waitt’s compilation is at once maximalist and intimate. Here are the stories of the journalists, photographers, loggers, campers, scientists, law enforcement officers, onlookers and first responders that, when taken as a whole, transcribe the totality of a historical calamity much larger than any single human eye could absorb — which allows the reader to see the forest through the trees, then watch that forest be blown to smithereens from a variety of angles. Occasionally the momentum slumps under the heft of its own weight. With so many players involved, it can be a challenge to remember who is with which specific agency or outfit, and when the book shifts near the halfway mark to anecdotal evidence of that fateful day provided by eyewitness recollection, the narrative becomes dependant on the storytelling skills of each individual. Overall, it is a neat trick: to see a solid scientific portrait emerge from the memories of those who watched a clear blue morning fall into violent night.
