talents. A former school teacher, he has taught computer science, social studies, and gifted and talented programs in seventh and eighth grades. At the college level, he has taught foundations of technology as well as developing educational websites and computer graphics.

OUT & ABOUT

Welcoming spring in Cannon Beach Continued from Page 3 off the canvas. A beached row boat tilts on its side, mere feet from the breaking waves. Bold brushwork, vivid colors and drips of paint bring the fresh, wet experience of the beach alive. Stepping into the Jeffrey Hull Gallery, we were instantly surrounded by breathtaking paintings of vistas from the Oregon Coast. All were lovely. “Return to Shore� caught my eye: the pale golden dune grass, the delicate brushwork of a driftwood log, and rocks down the beach just visible through the fog. After examining art and enjoying light bites, my friends and I headed to Cannon Beach Community Church to hear the Cannon Beach Chorus’ spring concert. The chorus was celebrating its 25th anniversary and sang compo-

sitions by 20th century-born composers, including Randall Stroope and Eric Whitacre, as well as premiering a special commissioned piece by composer J. Michael Saunders. The choral dresses, the black music folders, the harmonies and vocal parts – as a devoted choir member in high school and college, all were familiar to me. I had even sung one of the concert’s pieces before, “There Will Be Rest� by Frank Ticheli. It made for pleasant memories. The air teemed with festivity and high spirits. Chorus members beamed from the stage. During intermission, the chorus and audience mingled and chatted convivially, enjoying homebaked treats. As conductor John Buehler said during the concert, “We don’t sing because we’re happy; we’re happy because we sing.�

1. The story of Thomas Jefferson and the tension between supporting the westward expansion of the nation and the establishment of a strong U.S. Navy is presented in the book “Six Frigates: The Epic History of the Founding of the U.S. Navy” by Ian W. Toll. This is a fitting companion to Peter Stark’s “Astoria” that brings an added dimension to his account of the politics of the time.

Hamblin’s process goes beyond traditional paper cut assemblage by adding painted surface and nails to further enhance pattern and texture, adding an industrial nature. The juxtaposition between paper and steel make for a

striking finished composition. 2. Old Town Framing Company 1287 Commercial St. See work by painter Jeff Donnelly. 3.

One thing that makes Astoria’s anagama kiln particularly special is its connection to place.

Anagama kilns, like the Astoria Dragon Kiln, are an ancient type of kiln from Asia. They were first constructed in the U.S. around the late 1970s.

Kerri Zell, left, and Howard Clarke add footings to bowls before they are loaded into the kiln for firing. The footings, which are removed after firing, help elevate the bowls in the kiln so they are heated more evenly.

Bowls are stacked floor to ceiling inside the cozy confines of the kiln.

‘Any of the work that comes out, you can’t say, “It’s mine.� It’s ours.’

‘That amazing human connection’

The Dragon Kiln uses about a cord of wood per day to fire the bowls. Much of the wood, including maple, Douglas fir, cherry and alder, is “recycled� from local sources according to kiln owner Richard Rowland.

Richard Rowland, ceramics instructor at Clatsop Community College, stacks a shelf for holding bowls inside the Dragon Kiln on his Youngs River-area property.

Nancy Walsh, who has been helping with Dragon Kiln firings since 2009, adds small pieces of wood at one of four side stoking stations built into the kiln. Volunteers work shifts that can last six hours or more around the clock to keep the fire burning around 2,300 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Mouth sampled the smoked salmon plate, the bison burger with a side salad, and a basket of fried cheese curds at Buoy Beer.

ATMOSPHERE: The setting, steeped in local tradition, simply can’t be beat. Buoy Beer has done a wonderful job of upgrading a forgotten space with rich reclaimed wood, high vaulted ceilings, and other charming

marbled with fat, which slows its cooking time. A bison burger, in my opinion, tastes best when served a little pink in the middle, and because of its relative leanness, more seasoning is needed. 2Q WKH ZKROH , IRXQG WKH ELVRQ EXUJHU SDWW\ WR EH GU\ RYHUO\ FRRNHG DQG VRPHZKDW À DYRUOHVV DQG LQ KLQGVLJKW , ZLVK , KDG RUGHUHG WKH WUDGLWLRQDO EXUJHU LQVWHDG 7KH SHSSHU EDFRQ DQG FDUDPHOL]HG onion seemed like they might aid in the burger’s À DYRU SOLJKW EXW VDGO\ WKH\ FRXOGQœW PDNH XS IRU WKH À DYRUOHVV SDWW\ DQG WKH RQLRQV KDGQœW EHHQ FRRNHG ORQJ HQRXJK WR DFKLHYH SURSHU FDUDPHOL]D tion; they were still somewhat crunchy.

New history of river dredging exhibit open PORTLAND — In 1891, the average depth of the Columbia River was 17 feet, and the Portland Harbor was rife with sand bars, shoaling and navigation problems. World trade, a key part of the region’s economic vitality since before it was settled by pioneers, was starting to move away from Portland’s doorstep. Concerned about the state’s lifeline to global trade, the Oregon State Legislature created the Port of Portland for the express purpose of improving and maintaining the navigation channels of the Willamette and Columbia Rivers from PortODQG WR WKH 3DFLÂżF 2FHDQ “Working on the River: A History of Dredgingâ€? is open how at the Oregon History Museum and is on display through Oct. 30. This exhibition traces the history of the dredging of rivers for maritime trade, and brings to life the people and

machines whose work on the river has molded the region’s geography, trade routes and economic vitality. “The ability of ships to get to and from the Portland region has shaped our city – both geographically and economically – helping it become a manufacturing center and transportation hub for products into and out of our region,� said Port of Portland Executive Director Bill Wyatt. “As a trade-dependent state, our marine highways are critical to our region’s continued success.� The creation of the Port of Portland inspired community investment in channel development and funded publicly-owned dredges to accomplish the needed maintenance dredging. The port was given the initial directive to dredge and maintain the Columbia and Willamette River channel at a depth of 25 feet. Today, to accommodate

modern ships, the port, in cooperation with the Army Corps of Engineers, maintains a 40-foot channel in the Willamette and a 43-foot channel in the Columbia River. Much of this work is performed by the Dredge Oregon. This 1965-era vessel was recently overhauled with new engines and generators that will reduce carbon emissions by 88 percent. A brief history of the port as well as the importance of Portland as a trade center and seaport is also examined in the exhibit within the context of the necessity of dredging to uphold access to the city and WKH 3DFLÂżF 2FHDQ The Oregon History Museum is located at 1200 SW Park Avenue in downtown Portland.

The museum welcomes Robert T. Boyd, Kenneth M. Ames and Tony A. Johnson for a presentation on “Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia,” followed by a book signing. “Chinookan Peoples of the Lower Columbia” brings together perspectives from archaeologists, ethnobiologists, scientists, historians and mem-

Boyd is a research anthropologist at Portland State University and the author of “The Coming of the Spirit of Pestilence.” Ames is professor emeritus of anthropology at Portland State University and

lead author of “Peoples of the Northwest Coast.” Johnson is the cultural committee chair for the Chinook tribe and education program manager for the Shoalwater Bay Indian Tribe.

The Lowest Pair will perform Sunday, May 11, at Fort George.

ASTORIA — Kendyl Winter and Palmer T. Lee are The Lowest Pair, and they are in the middle of a non-stop tour. Their new album “36¢” was produced by Dave Simonett of Trampled by Turtles and features the two banjo pickers harmonizing and weaving a comfortable sound. Check out the duo as part of Fort George’s Sunday Night Concert Series at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 11; the brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. A traveler, a dreamer, and a banjo pickin’ songstress from Arkansas, now settled in the lush Eden green of Olympia,

Washington, Winter sprouts alfalfa beans in mason jars in the back of the tour van and spreads her songs across the country Johnny Appleseed-style. Her voice is bold, and her songs are thoughtfully poetic and rooted deep within her diverse experiences. Previously of the Blackberry Bushes String Band, she has branched off and out into new projects and new frontiers. A Minnesotan songcrafter, Lee was 19 when he inherited a couple of banjos and discovered he could reassemble them into his dream instrument. He’s

been tweakin’ and twangin’ away ever since. Lee has fronted Minneapolis’s muchloved high-energy bluegrass band The Boys n’ the Barrels and supported several other Minneapolis-based bands and songwriters, including Drew Peterson & The Dead Pigeons and Black Audience. His voice is warm and sad with longing like that of Townes Van Zandt, yet laughing and whooping like that of John Hartford. Lee’s songs are distilled into the sweet sounds of his percussive wordplay and the melodic interludes of his banjo.

Astoria library hosts Oregon Reads events Project celebrates centennial of Oregon poet William Stafford ASTORIA — Astoria Public Library has joined more than 100 Oregon libraries in a statewide community reading project commemorating the centennial of Oregon’s most celebrated poet, William Stafford. Throughout May, the library – located at 450 10th St. – is featuring Stafford’s works and hosting free public programs related to the legacy of Stafford as a writer, teacher and witness for peace. Stafford served as Oregon’s Poet Laureate for 14 years and published more than 60 collections of poetry and prose. He taught for more than 30 years at Lewis and Clark College, which now houses his archives.

Stafford won many prestigious literary awards, including the National Book Award. He was Poetry Consultant to the Library of Congress in 1970. The Oregon Heritage Commission declared the 2014 centennial of Stafford’s birth a statewide celebration, and the Oregon Library Association selected Stafford as its featured author for the 2014 Oregon Reads program. At 6 p.m. Friday, May 9, Astor Library Friends Association presents “Your Land, My Land: Using and Preserving Oregon’s Natural Resources,” a free conversation facilitated by Portland State University professor Veronica Dujon. Participants will discuss

how Oregonians’ sense of connection to a place informs our values and approaches to FRQÀLFW RYHU ODQG XVH LQ RXU communities, a subject often explored in Stafford’s works. This program is part of Oregon Humanities’ statewide Conversation Project. From noon to 1:30 p.m. Saturday, May 10, join the library’s book discussion group in sharing thoughts about “Ask Me: 100 Essential Poems” by William Stafford. Multiple copies of this book, which was published to celebrate Stafford’s centenary, are available for check-out.

You say you write what you like to read. Care to explain? I stay away from salacious writing with gratuitous violence. Instead, I prefer authors who are good storytellers and use history to weave the tale together. Your newest novel, “Destination Astoria: Odyssey to the Pacific” was recently published. Tell me about it. This historical fiction is spun around the 1810 Astor expedition and one young fur trapper, Dutch Blackwell, and his stubborn determination to return to the Columbia River. It portrays a lost breed of adventurous frontiersmen who helped blaze the Oregon Trail. They move across the unforgiving heartland with the fury of a prairie storm on this odyssey to the Pacific and finally to

their destination, Astoria. I hear you’re an active member of the Writers-AtWork group, which meets the third Thursday of every month at the Seaside Public Library. What is enjoyable about this group? It’s enjoyable to facilitate this great group of authors as we all learn from each other’s diversity and style of writing. We appreciate the Seaside Library providing monthly space for us to meet, and any interested writers are welcome to join us! Who is your favorite overlooked or underappreciated writer? I have deep respect for all “wanna-be” authors who are striving to write their book – don’t give up! Did you have a favorite childhood literary character or hero?

“Destination Astoria” by Brian Ratty.

My favorite childhood literary characters and heroes came mostly from the pages of Jack London novels, like “White Fang” and “Call of the Wild.” He was a quintessential storyteller who I humbly strive to emulate. I hear you’re an avid fisherman, and you like to cook. What’s your favorite seafood dish? “Destination Astoria” is filled with many trail recipes, including my favorite seafood dish, pickled salmon. You can also find it on my website: www.dutchclarke. com

workshop, “Trying the Stafford Way.” The most encouraging of teachers, Stafford urged us to use writing as a vehicle for exploration and inquiry. During this workshop – in that spirit of welcoming what PLJKW ¿QG LWV ZD\ RQWR D SDJH – participants will use some Stafford poems as springboards for generating their own poems or short prose pieces. Each participant should bring a notebook or journal, preferably a large one (not diary size). The workshop is for writers of all levels of experience, and beginners are welcome. As space is limited, contact the library at 503-3257323 to register in advance For more information about Oregon Reads 2014, call 503325-7323, email comments@ astorialibrary, or visit www. astorialibrary.org

Fill in the blank: If I hadn’t become a photographer and writer, I would have striven to be a contractor as good as my Father. Favorite thing to do on the North Coast: Traveling this amazing coast with my (amazing!) wife, Tess, and researching my projects is a favorite. We’ve met so many welcoming, knowledgeable and helpful volunteers, staff and historians in museums, libraries, parks and interpretive centers. What do you hope to achieve when writing a novel? My goal is to propel my reader back in time while making my characters so lucid that they become part of the reader’s family. With powerful descriptions and genuine characters, my stories are held together with the glue of history. And finding new readers is always job one! What’s next on your reading list? Currently I’m reading as many books as I can find on Nazi U-Boats during World War II ... hint, hint, hint.
