Cancer center opens for Art Walk, potter gives talk ASTORIA — The CMHOHSU Knight Cancer Collaborative (1905 Exchange St.) will open its doors for the next Second Saturday Art Walk (Nov. 11) to feature its diverse collection of Northwest art. Potter Richard Rowland, of the Astoria Dragon Kiln, will kick-off the Art Walk 4 p.m. with a talk, “Art:

A community connection for healing.” He will speak about the creation of the beautiful 2-ton tile mosaic he created for the building. “I like the way the caregivers are working next to the art and get to interact with its life as the patients will view it also,” Rowland said. “It’s wonderful to see a supportive, very active

healing environment where collaborative art, science and humanity develop a diverse, healthy symbiotic relationship. “Part of inspiring art makers is ﬁnding a meaningful place to put it — making it relevant to many.” Rowland’s talk will be followed by a tour of the collection 4:30 to 6 p.m.

NOW OPEN FOR LUNCH 11am-4pm Tuesday-Saturday

‘Story warrior’ shares little-known tale of William Clark’s slave CANNON BEACH — At 3 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 12, at Tolovana Hall, experienced storyteller Gideon For-mukwai shares the oft-untold story of York, the lone slave on the Lewis and Clark Expedition. During the expedition, York, who was owned by the family of William Clark, experienced measures of freedom and respect. He was permitted to carry a gun and granted a voting interest in the party. As blacks would not be allowed to vote until the passage of the 15th Amendment some six decades later, York may have been the ﬁrst black man to ever be granted a vote in America. York, who grew up alongside Clark and referred to as his “manservant,” was an integral member of the expedition. York as was an accomplished hunter, renown for his strength and one the few party members who could swim. Both York’s

physicality and the color of his skin helped establish relations with native American tribes met along the way. And yet, after his devoted, honorable and indispensable service, York was denied what he most desired. For the ending — which includes an astounding, tragic twist — join “story warrior” Gideon For-mukwai and the Tolovana Arts Colony for this free storytelling event at Tolovana Hall (3779 S. Hemlock St.) in Cannon Beach. An accomplished researcher and presenter who has worked across the world, For-mukwai will share York’s tale using a number of devices, including narration, and by stepping into the character himself. The presentation will be followed by a discussion panel and Q-and-A. For more information, visit tolovanaartscolony.org, email tolovanaartscolony@ gmail.com, or call 541-2154445.

needed to get out of the house and live again.” A recent widow, Horvath showed up at her doorstep at the Art Loft for her first class and fell in love with it. “I went to a second and then third class, and then just started hanging out,” she said. Raden herself first discovered mosaic art for similar reasons back in Arkansas. During a difficult time, a friend she was commiserating with told Raden about a “new studio in town that lets you break things.” “I thought, ‘I need that!’” Raden remembered. She took to the art form immediately and became fast friends with the owner. “When I was having a bad day, she would just stack up a bunch of tiles for me, give me a hammer and let me go. I’d just sit over in the corner and bash tile,” Raden said with a laugh. Pomeroy-Crockett said Raden is a “very helpful, patient, encouraging and supportive teacher,” and when she worked with students at Knappa High School, “the results were spectacular.”

By HEATHER DOUGLAS FOR COAST WEEKEND

our years ago, mosaic artist Kai Raden suffered a panic attack while contemplating her decision to move across the country from Arkansas to Astoria. Her best friend suggested she write down the answer to a simple question on a piece of paper: Where do you see yourself in a year? She wrote down her goal — and then promptly forgot about it. Last month, Raden, who also teaches the art of mosaic, held the grand opening of her new Astoria studio, Creations Studio and Gallery (1390 Duane St.), where people can show up and learn to make mosaics themselves. After the opening, Raden unexpectedly found that piece of paper with the goal written on it: to live and work in Astoria as a full-time artist, and to open her own studio. Raden’s first stop in the Pacific Northwest, however, was Portland, where she met her fiancée, Eric Coburn. But when the big city became too expensive, the couple moved to Astoria. The decision seemed like a natural one. Raden had explored Astoria while visiting a friend who lived on the Long Beach Peninsula. “She took me to all the galleries in Cannon Beach and Seaside. On the way back, we drove through Astoria,” Raden said. “I thought, ‘This is the most amazing, cute, cool, quaint, funky little town.’ I love Astoria. I’ve always wanted to be in a small community where everybody waves to each other in the morning.”

A forgiving art form

Permission to break things

Once in Astoria, Raden began her quest to find a studio and an opportunity to share her love of mosaic art. The Art Loft, co-owned by Jeannette Davis and Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, helped Raden get her start as a local art teacher. “I kind of feel like they nurtured me along,” Raden said. “I was a baby bird in the nest when I first started — and now I’ve launched.” Debbie Horvath, one of Raden’s first students, found her classes on Facebook. “I did it for mental therapy,” Horvath said. “I

TOP: One of Kai Raden’s mosaic pieces hangs in the window of Creations Studio and Gallery in downtown Astoria.

After outgrowing her space at The Art Loft, Raden wanted to create something different than what she had been doing before. At Creations Studio and Gallery, she has created a workshop environment instead of scheduled classes — anytime she’s there and the doors are open, it’s class time. So, for people who have perhaps an hour one day, then ﬁve another day, they can work it into their schedule. In addition, Raden has the tools — glass, buttons, shells, beads — and instructions, and she works with patrons one-on-one. “It’s very casual and laid back,” she said. Raden does have a few rules: No politics or negativity walks through the door; only positive energy is allowed. She extends this mindset to everyday aspects of running a new business, down to her walk to work every morning. “I wave to other shop owners on my route every morning,” she said. “It’s a dream come true.” Raden has words for people who claim they don’t have an artistic side. “That whole ‘I’m not artistic’ thing doesn’t really apply. Mosaic is a very forgiving art form,” she said. “Bring your imagination and your creativity. I’ll teach you how to do the rest.” CW

Astoria’s Columbian Theater screens Wandering Reel Traveling Film Festival on Nov. 12 By LAURA CHERAU FOR COAST WEEKEND

he Wandering Reel Traveling Film Festival makes its first pit-stop in Astoria at the Columbian Theater during a matinee screening Sunday, Nov. 12. Doors open at 2:30 p.m.; the films begin at 3 p.m. Six independent short films will be shown, followed by a community discussion and Q-and-A with festival director Michael Harrington, a Lincoln City native. Tickets are $5. The festival’s program, “You. Me. We.,” features films from France, Syria, Spain, Iran, the U.S. and Canada that explore the complex relationships among people and ask: “What tears us apart? What brings us together?” Harrington said these films explore topics such as “racial justice and identity, the refugee crisis, the importance of community and friends at the end of life” in a way that mainstream media

venue could be found in Astoria. The mission of Wandering Reel — which tours cities throughout the western U.S., including in Washington, Colorado and California — is to bring quality short films to “communities with limited or no access to compassionate, thought-provoking cinema.” The six films screening in Astoria come from a roster of 22 total films, chosen from about 200 considered by the festival jury, that will screen at various locations. Sid Ganis, former president of the Academy of Motion Pictures and Sciences, is one of the jurors, as is Rosa Tran, the award-winning producer of “Anomalisa,” and Kate Purdy, the television writer of “BoJack Horseman” and “Cougar Town.” The film festival’s only requirement is that the films “demonstrate the power of the medium to effect change and inspire conversation,” Harrington said. This allows the festival to accept international submissions or short films

that are older — like “Artalde,” which was filmed in 2010. Harrington said the other main function of this film festival — as with many film festivals — is to promote independent work. The more awards a short film wins, the more exposure it gets, and the better the chances are for the filmmakers to find support and funding for other projects, such as feature films.

choose to invoke it. At times, it has fallen out of favor only to be reclaimed and redefined throughout history. This film was nominated for the Short Film Grand Jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2017.

In love with the form

After working in the film industry, Harrington landed in Big Sur, California, and became involved in the Big Sur International Short Film Screening Series at the Henry Miller Memorial Library. He “fell in love with the form,” he said. He’s made his own short films, including “The Old Man and the Mountain Lion,” and taught cinema. Now he wants to bring these exceptional films to small towns. “When you make a short film, it lives a short life,” Harrington said. “I thought these films deserved more time in front of a live audience.” That’s why Harrington and his team took the festival on the road. “When the audience is excited and talking about the movies,” Harrington sees “a way to strengthen communities. We’re used to watching films together, but not necessarily discussing them.”

AREA SPORTS BAR ROUNDUP Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

FACEBOOK.COM/MOUTHOFTHECOLUMBIA

ew pastimes are more closely associated with food than football. And since it’s that time of year, we’re rounding up the best places on the coast to watch a game, and what to order while you’re there. But first, what makes a good sports bar? Clear views, heaping snacks and room to spread out and relax when your belly’s full. Now, on to the contenders...

ASTORIA

Of all the sports bar options on the North Coast, the Merry Time Bar and Grill is my first overall draft pick. There are plenty of TVs, a projector and active fandom when local teams play. Better yet: The food is better than the dive-y digs might suggest. Better, better yet: Merry Time’s reasonable prices make hunkering down for a few hours possible without breaking the bank. Usually I can’t help but order the burger, with a potently seasoned, perfectly cooked, thick and juicy hand-pressed patty. But there are other solid game-time options, including the tangy, creamy Po’ Boy and the loaded Idaho Nachos that swap out chips for potatoes. Plus, Merry Time has tater tots, which, for whatever reason, feel so much more football-appropriate than fries.

CANNON BEACH

While replete with restaurants, Cannon Beach doesn’t have a traditional sports bar. Still, there are places that can get the job done. The most ideal, where you could actually hoot and holler without catching too many sideways glances, is the Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House. The TVs are tucked up a bit, but they make up for it with some of the best chicken wings in the region.

LEFT: Merry Time Bar & Grill’s Gorgeous Burger with bacon and gorgonzola MIDDLE: The pizza and salad bar at Bubba’s Sports Bar in Warrenton RIGHT: The Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House is nicknamed the Screw & Brew.

Here’s how to make them really shine: Order the Salt and Pepper variety and get sauce on the side. Not sitting in and sopping up the sauce affords a delightfully crispy skin. Fried cleanly, the calamari at the Hardware Store are another hit. Make a fried food’s all-star team by ordering them both. Oh, and it’s worth a mention: the Hardware Store is one of the rare places on the North Coast where you can watch most Trail Blazers games. (It’s a long story. In short: Comcast is essentially holding the broadcasts hostage from other cable providers. Boo!)

SEASIDE

More than any town in the area, Seaside is replete with sports bars. Last week I reviewed Dundee’s Bar & Grill, which has more TVs than anyone could ever need, including personal screens in some booths. There’s also a salad bar, pizza and an icy track to keeps drinks frosty cold. Dundee’s fare, all very sports-bar centric, is dependable if unspectacular. Neither a franchise player nor benchwarmer, Dundee’s delivers in a limited roll. Just a few doors down, the Twisted Fish does much the same. (Twisted Fish is also a hub for payper-view boxing and mixed martial arts broadcasts.) But, as these bars are in ground zero of Seaside’s

tourist mecca, local fans may seek a more home-y experience. For that, the Relief Pitcher is the place. It’s another cozy dive where the food exceeds the funky surroundings. And while some tout the burgers, the Tuna Reuben is a singular North Coast flagship.

WARRENTON

If you happen to be a Pittsburg transplant, there’s no better place to wave your Terrible Towel than Bubba’s Sports Bar. With wall-towall Steelers memorabilia, it’s a temple to the black and yellow, a man-cave collection that outgrew the basement. Still, Bubba’s pretty cave-y, with a trio of gargantuan flat screens in the windowless rear. It’s also loud, which, in the right moment, can be invigorating. Food is handled by the adjacent Fultano’s Pizza, which whips up burgers, subs, fried things and so on. During the right hours, there’s no better deal for chowing throughout a game than the all-youcan-eat pizza and salad bar. The pies are parlor-style, with snapping thin crust and loads of greasy cheese. Wings are touted, too, but they need work. If you like ’em spicy, order at least a level above what you’d normally get. The “hot” is essentially mild, “very hot” medium, etc. Spice aside, though, they lack developed flavor.

MANZANITA/NEHALEM

This one is a tossup, one that depends on the level of your fandom. If you’re a dyed-in-the-wool devotee, I’d go with the Manzanita Lighthouse Pub & Grub, where you’ll have more room and better sight lines. While the burgers are worthwhile, the calzone is a near football-sized hunk of golden dough, gooey cheese and salty meats that anyone short of an NFL lineman would be hard-pressed to finish. But if you’re looking for a more casual experience, a place to chat with friends and dine while keeping an eye on the score in the fourth quarter, the San Dune Pub might be more appealing. Their burgers are terrific. So’s the Po’ Boy.

GEARHART

Like Cannon Beach, Gearhart doesn’t have any honest-to-goodness sports bars. Gearhart Crossing has a few TVs, it’s cave-y and, for pub fare, pretty thoughtful. The most memorable dish I had there, and the one I most want again, is the Tuna Melt. There are burgers and wings, too, but something about Gearhart Crossing doesn’t exactly scream football in the most populist sense. If that’s what you need, try BJ’s Pizza Palace & Sports Bar, which, while technically in Seaside, is just a few minutes away. And, while the pizza doesn’t disappoint, BJ’s has

broasted chicken, which couldn’t be more football-appropriate. Seriously — the ’85 Bears probably had a broaster in the locker room.

LONG BEACH PENINSULA

I’m tempted to point to Ilwaco’s Salt Pub, as I have indeed enjoyed a game there, and because just about everything on the menu strikes a terrific balance between hearty and refined. But there are only a few TVs. If you don’t get the right seat, you’re out of luck. The Columbia River Roadhouse offers more assured viewing comfort plus NFL Sunday Ticket. Oddly enough, what I recall most fondly from my trips to the Roadhouse is the cornbread. It’s a just-right mix of moist and crumbly, with mellow sweetness and flecks of corn kernels adding supple texture. Sure, you could have the ribs or meatloaf (just so long as you get the cornbread as a side). But let’s be clear: I wouldn’t proffer the Roadhouse’s options as an example of stunning BBQ to a southerner. (Too bad Mericle’s Epic Eats closed. They would surely have made this list.) Beyond that, though, I haven’t spent too much time watching games on the Peninsula. So, Seahawks fans, where’s the best place to eat and watch a game in your neighborhood? That goes for the rest of you, too: Ducks, Beavers, Blazers, Timbers — let’s hear it! CW

College honors veterans with Patriot Hall rededication ASTORIA — On Saturday, Nov. 11, Clatsop Community College will pay respect to our veterans with a Veterans Day ceremony and rededication of Patriot Hall to those who have served our country. The original dedication of the building took place on Armistice Day 1921 with a plaque ceremony dedicating the building to the “Clatsop County soldiers of all wars.” The rededication will reflect matching elements from the original dedication, including musical numbers and readings. The American Legion Post No. 12 of Astoria will play a large role in the event, conducting the flag ceremony and POW MIA table ceremony. Student volunteers from the college will participate in ceremony elements, and members from local music groups — such as Jewell High School Wind Ensemble, Columbia River Symphony, North Coast

Prizewinning pianist performs at Community Church CANNON BEACH — Pianist Vladislav Kosminov, an Uzbekistan native, will perform at Cannon Beach Community Church (132 E. Washington St.) on the church’s newly acquired 2008 Steinway Model B Grand Piano 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 11. Sponsored by Portland Piano International, this concert is free and open to the public. Kosminov made his California debut in January 2015 performing Chopin’s Piano Concerto No.1 with Maestro Jon Robertson and the Redlands Symphony. The performance was described by Redlands Daily Facts as a “concert … with music simply flowing through his fingers and floating like liquid gold in intricate patterns up and down the keyboard.” As the winner of the 2013

Lynn Concerto Competition, Kosminov made his U.S. debut in October of that year under the baton of Maestro Guillermo Figueroa, performing Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 1. Previously, he was a prizewinner of several international and national competitions. In 2015, he was one of the prizewinners of the George

Gershwin International Competition in Brooklyn, New York. Coming from a musical family, Mr. Kosminov was trained as a solo pianist. At home he studied at the Academic Musical Lyceum for gifted children named after Vladimir Uspensky. He has performed in various cities and historical places in Uzbekistan.

The musicians create a unique and eccentric blend of folk, roots, groove and soul. On their latest single,

2016’s “Call Me Out,” Shook Twins once again take another leap from the acoustic music scene with a vibe-y, pop-infused soundscape with a poignant message ready to be embraced by the masses. Lush harmonies, delayed banjo pickin’, deep drums and multi-layered lead vocals draw the listener into this intimate breakout summer single. Bart Budwig’s ﬁfth full-length record, “Paint By Numbers Jesus,” is a meditation on Jesus as a cultural ﬁgure, and a walk through the mind of someone who is processing their place on the faith spectrum. It was inspired, partly, by Willie Nelson’s ‘Redheaded Stranger,’ a group of cover songs strung together tightly by Nelson originals, journalist Kat Parker wrote.

DO YOU KNOW THE MUSHROOM MAN? ILWACO, WASH. — Salty Talks presents an evening of conversation with Oregon Park Ranger Dane Osis 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 16, at Ilwaco’s Salt Hotel & Pub (147 Howerton Ave.) on the Ilwaco waterfront. The free event, held upstairs, is open to the public. An amazing variety of fungi thrive in the coastal Pacific Northwest. Join Osis for a program on these wild forest mushrooms. This illustrated talk will cover what fungi are, their role in the

forest and identification tips for both edible and poisonous species. Feel free to bring in samples of mushrooms for identification. Osis works at Fort Stevens State Park. After gaining a foundation in mushroom identification through several college courses, Dane commercially picked mushrooms in the Siskiyou and Deschutes National Forests. He has been teaching mushroom identification for the past 14 years at Fort Stevens

State Park and has shared similar training at several Oregon State Parks and the Tillamook Forestry Center. Come early or stay late for those wanting to grab dinner or beverages. Seating is limited; no reservations. Salty Talks are held in partnership with the Salt Hotel & Pub, Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, and Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, with support from Friends of Columbia River Gateway.

Authors paddle through the Northern Pacific coast Over the past week, your faithful book critic has paddled through more than 500 pages of words about journeys along the inland waters of the Northern Pacific coast. Erin McKittrick’s book, “Mud Flats and Fish Camps,” details a trek she and her young family undertook by pack raft and on foot around 800 miles of Alaska’s Cook Inlet. In another book, “Paddling with Spirits,” Irene Skyriver marks her 40th birthday by launching on a solo kayak journey that follows the water routes her coastal ancestors plied from Alaska to the San Juan Islands. Let’s begin with McKittrick. This is not the first time the Seattle-born transplant to Alaska has tackled epic journeys and written about them. But in this age of push-button convenience

and screen-mediated lifestyles, how remarkable it is to follow her young family’s four-month immersive trek along the saltwater fringes of big wilderness. McKittrick, her husband and their 4-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter take to this life like otters to mudslides — and is there ever a lot of mud! At one point her son gleefully yells, “Our goal is to get more muddy!” He and his sister take “immersive adventure” literally. The author’s ability to describe mud in a hundred different ways is noteworthy, but where she really excels is in examining the interface between human activity and Alaskan geography. The state’s biggest city, Anchorage, is situated on Cook Inlet. So are seasonal fish camps, offshore oil platforms and a whole lot of wilderness.

McKittrick combines present-day observations with reflections on the records of earlier explorers and settlers who came to this cold saltwater coastline of seemingly endless bays and estuaries and inlets. She asks of everyone they meet along the way what they think the future holds for this place. At the beginning of the 21st century, McKittrick’s family is still able to pursue an adventurous life away from highways and shopping plazas, if not entirely off the grid. But readers will detect the author’s underlying concern that Alaska’s wilderness is as vulnerable as it is vast. In “Paddling with Spirits,” Irene Skyriver may adopt a similar mode of travel, but her journey is more about connecting spiritually with the places her forebears came from

than about what will become of those places in the future. In contrast to McKittrick’s careful preparations, Skyriver approaches her quest by mailing her itinerary to a psychic for guidance. This free-spirited, “fringe of the fringe” style — the author never wears her lifejacket — guarantees that surprises will crop up along the way. Her travel agenda may seem disconcertingly spontaneous, but Skyriver’s intentionality becomes clear in the way she weaves the stories of her ancestors into the landscapes and waterways she passes through. Anecdotes passed down through the generations in her family, richly recreated, take up the bulk of the book and are bracketed by the author’s breezy contemporary travelogue. “Paddling with Spirits”

Certified Master Gardeners can remain active by joining the local MG chapter, and volunteering on projects such as demo gardens, horticulture related community outreach, plant clinics, and events. Continuing education is made available by the OSU Extension MG Program Coordinator. Successful gardening is a lifelong educational process. Join other folks who have the same interests, and enjoy working together as liaison between Oregon State University and the home gardeners of Clatsop County.
