Twenty-six-year-old creator, co-executive producer, star (and often writer and director) Lena Dunham took the world by storm last April when “Girls” first aired with her raw humor, and portrayal of emerg-

yourself in
2013
Area offers multitude of rejuvenating options
I
It’s time to reflect on New Year’s resolutions. While diets and travel are noble goals, consider pampering. If you’re stressed or generally out of sorts, nothing gives the needed emotional or physical boost like a good dose of “me time.” With plenty of local options available, the question is not should you pamper yourself in 2013, but where to begin? On cold winter days, nothing takes out the physical and mental knots like a sauna. Enthusiasts laud the health benefits of “sweat baths,” attributing them with healing, preventative and cleansing properties. The Finnish sauna is a tradition over 2,000 years old. The Finns attribute endurance and longevity to the tradition of sauna. During a sauna, metabolism and pulse rates increase, blood vessels gain flexibility and extremities benefit from increased circulation. Many of these changes are similar to those achieved through strenuous exercise. Sauna can relieve the symptoms of minor illnesses such as colds, revive the muscles after physical exertion, reduce the buildup of stress hormones and clear the complexion. Summer Oja, spa director of the Cannery Pier Hotel in Astoria, is a sauna advocate. “Many locals who have regular appointments really enjoy the health benefits of our authentic Finnish sauna or our mineral soaking tub,” she said. “People with busy, hectic lives use both. Often they come in with worry on their faces. Then they leave after a treatment refreshed and renewed, better able to deal with their own particular life challenges.” The location also lends to the sense of separation from outside anxieties. “When you come to the spa, you are entering a world apart from your everyday existence,” Oja said. “The sauna looks out into the Columbia River. Being surrounded by water and beauty offers a peace and quiet hard to find in our noisy society.” Even taking a small amount out of your day to pamper yourself

is important. After a stressful day at work, a trip to the salon for a much-needed manicure and pedicure session should be near the top of any pampering list. Having weekly or monthly manicure-pedicure time may seem like something only women would do for luxury, but this shouldn’t be the case. Both men and women can benefit from the repose that manicure and pedicure bring. Since men’s nails can often be dirty, having a manicure-pedicure will help them look and feel good at all times. “We offer this to both men and women, and a good amount of both take advantage of it,” said Pam Cote, manager of the Seaside Spa and Wellness Center. “Once you realize how good it feels and how nice you look afterwards, it doesn’t matter who you are.” Above all, manicure-pedicure time relaxes a person. This period of no-stress downtime can be good for the heart. It relieves mental stress and physical pain. It allows one to keep the mind off stressful work and home environments, and unwind from daily hassles. “When you look good, you feel good, and it’s something you don’t often do yourself,” Cote said. “It’s a very comforting, relaxing process where you get to be the center of attention.” Add the mini-massage that goes with the manicure-pedicure session, and your hands and feet will feel their best. It relieves hand pain caused by repetitive motion and feet sore from standing behind a counter all day. “Your hands and your feet are very important to your overall well-being and comfort,” Cote said. “Their care should be more of a necessity than a guilty pleasure.” Taking care of mind and body should be a year-round priority. By adding therapeutic massage to a daily routine, you’ll feel and look healthier far into the future. In fact, stress relief alone can improve your vitality and state of mind. When looking for a way to prep for a long, happy life, therapeutic massage should be at the top of any-

one’s pampering wish-list. Pent-up levels of the “stress hormone” cortisol can lead to sleeplessness, headaches and even digestive problems. Regular massage decreases cortisol, allowing the body to reboot. “In a quiet, serene environment, massage is an emotional release, a period of letting-go,” said Janice Gaines, proprietor of Spa Manzanita. “It slows people down and works on nearly every system of the body. Whether it’s stress or a lingering injury, massage encourages much-needed revitalization.” In fact, massage triggers a host of brain chemistry responses that can result in lasting feelings of lowered stress and improved mood. “The most important thing massage does is increase blood flow,” Gaines said. “People spend so much time hunched over desks and computers they get out of balance. You don’t realize how sore the body is and how much tension you’re holding onto until you stop for a moment.” Cannery Pier Hotel massage therapist Leigh Oviatt agrees. “People forget to breathe in our world today, and often a massage is the only loving touch they are receiving,” she said. “Take care of your body, it takes care of you.”

The event will be hosted by The Friends of the Seaside Library in the Community Room and there will be book sales and signings. “The Columbia River’s Ellis Island: The Story of Knappton Cove” is the account of the Columbia River Quarantine Station, which processed more than 100,000 immigrants between 1899 and 1938. Although Ellis Island handled the largest number of immigrants, there were other U.S. ports of entry. Lured to the Pacific Northwest by the salmon and timber industries, thousands of immigrants passed through Knappton Cove on their way to a new life in America. The quarantine station was equipped for fumigating ships,

If it was determined that communicable diseases such as bubonic plague, yellow fever, cholera, smallpox or typhus were present, people would be put into isolation and detained.

An
ancient
craft is alive in Astoria
Fernhill Glass mixes modern innovation with traditional techniques for stunning glass creations
W
Walk into the unprepossessing building that houses Fernhill Glass, and the first thing you see is the furnaces below you. A gallery with a railing allows you to watch the work, and there are theater seats if you want to spend more time. You might see Tom Kittel, an artist who frequently rents the facility, remove a metal tube from one of the furnaces. On the end of the tube will be a blob of molten glass. Claude Kurtz, who founded Fernhill, will also be there, and he will press a glob of glass of his own to Kittel’s glass, applying the first color to Kittel’s current project. Kittel is something of a polyIf you would like math. A skilled photographer and composer of music, he came to to take a beginning glass glassblowing in 1988, in New York.

craft,” Kittel explains. Glass was probably discovered 5,000 years ago in Mesopotamia or Egypt as a by-product of metalworking, when molten metal came in contact with quartz sand, producing a crude form of glass. “The ‘modern techniques’ go back to ancient Rome,” says Kittel. In fact, the tools he lays out in an orderly fashion before beginning work would look right at place in a glassblowing studio 2,000 years ago. “You could take a glassblower from Rome,” Kurtz says, “and put him right to work.” Not only is glassblowing ancient, Kittel says, “The craft takes a long time to learn, and you never stop learning. That’s what really attracts me. Every time I come in, it’s always fresh.” Glassblowing may be very old, but that doesn’t mean that modern glass creations resemble ancient ones. “What I excel in,” says Kittel, “is what other people don’t think about doing.” He showed me the “loop vase” he designed – “no one else makes it” – that is sold at Fernhill Glass Studios. Kittel is also developing a kind of glass that he can print photographs on. The primary hazard of working with glass is
the heat. “You’re going to get burned, especially when you’re learning,” Kittel says. The furnaces are over 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit, and “you’re working with metal. Anything that is metal will burn you. You are taught to work as a team. It’s almost like learning to dance; you know what each other is doing without thinking about it.” Kurtz has been working with glass most of his life. He fabricated stained glass for 25 years, and

then in 1990 took a class in glass blowing that changed his life. He began working with hot glass, and in 2000 began a 10-year partnership running the Gorge Glashaus, a demonstration studio and gallery at McMenamins Edgefield in Troutdale. He was then ready to open his own studio in Astoria, where he makes a large variety of objects, from glass flats to bowls and vases. Before you leave Fernhill Glass, be sure to visit the display area, where you can see finished work by both Kurtz and Kittel. Take a close look, and you will see light subtly shifting through the glass, like bright colors in moving water, revealing the creative potential of a medium in which spontaneity and color emerge from a rigorous and ancient discipline.

2012 Photo Contest
T
his was an amazing year for photos, as the 384 entries in our annual Photo Contest proved. Entries from Eastern Oregon did well this year, capturing some top spots. It just goes to prove that the beauty of the Northwest is all around us.
Chantell Reid, 34, of Pendleton, won the judges’ pick for first place with “Innocence at Play,” a photo of her oldest daughter frolicking without a care through the trees. Ocean Park, Wash.’s Roy Western, 64, proved how rewarding the challenge of bird photography can be with his entry, “Pelicans,” which took second place. And Mike Morehead, 65, of Pilot Rock, took third place with his photo of the Blue Mountains of Eastern Oregon at Anthony Lakes in Baker County.
People’s Choice winner
Almost 2,000 viewers voted on coastweekend.com for the People’s Choice photo – which Kathy Tellechea, 54, of Lexington, won with her photo of two wild stallions in the South Steens Hollywood herd having a minor disagreement. Congratulations to our winners, and thank you to all who entered. It’s amazing to see the beauty and variety of our area, and we can’t wait to see what you shoot for next year. – Rebecca Sedlak, Coast Weekend Editor

hether you’re a comic-book collector, an antique hunter or a food enthusiast, one thing remains the same; we all enjoy the thrill of finding something valuable in an unlikely place. One such place exists at the Best Western Ocean View Resort in Seaside. Salvatore’s Café and Pub is owned and operated by Terry Bichsel, who also owns the hotel. Having eaten at many bad hotel chain restaurants over the years, it would have been easy to dis-

miss this one, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that Salvatore’s can hold its own, hotel or no hotel. Salvatore’s serves breakfast in the morning, and in the evening it serves Italian food. As an Italian food nut, I am always on the lookout for good, authentic Italian food. On this evening we started with an appetizer of bruschetta: toasted Italian bread, garlic, tomato and basil. The intense flavor punch made it clear that the vegetables in the dish were very fresh, highlighted with a spike of balsamic vinegar, although the tomato tapenade was refrigerator cold. I would have preferred it warm or at least at room temperature, as the chill was a little off-putting, but the overall taste was sensational – explosive, even. Curious also was the mix of shredded mozzarella and cheddar in the center of the plate. The taste of mozzarella develops, intensifies and “opens up” with heat, like the petals of a flower, which makes it an obvious choice in pizzas; so in a refrigerated state it doesn’t provide tremendous purpose other than as an attractive garnish. Next we selected the soup du jour, which was a spicy corn chowder. The consistency of the chowder was exceptional; smooth, creamy and silky, with the sweet crunch of corn and the savory bite of chicken. It was spicy, as the name suggested, but not hot … a distinction I often find too blurred in the culinary world. The soup was served with oyster crackers, probably because the restaurant’s clam chowder also uses those. But if I were to serve it at home and really wanted to make it a home run, I would top it with cheddar cheese and bacon and serve it with cornbread on the side. The mellow, sweet corn flavors
HOURS: Seven days a week; breakfast served daily from 7 to 11 a.m.; dinner served Sundays through Thursdays from 5 to 8 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 5 to 9 p.m. The accompanying pub follows the same dinner hours. PRICES: Although the food quality is good, the prices are a bit high given the atmosphere and lack of bread; the spaghetti Bolognese was $14.95, and the steak was a tad overpriced at $23.95. Most prices hover in the $17 to $19 range.
would match one another, and the bacon and cheese would provide a salty element to balance the existing sweet and spicy nuances. The first entrée on deck was a traditional spaghetti Bolognese. As an interesting side note, gourmands insist that the recipe for the seemingly simple spaghetti Bolognese is deceptive, and that too many liberties have been taken by adventurous chefs to update and “trend-ify” the dish. The official, traditional recipe was laid down as culinary “law” in 1982 in Bologna, the region that lends its name to the dish, and the recipe includes both pancetta, an Italian bacon, as well as minced beef. Though the dish offered at Salvatore’s is not “traditional” in the Bolognese sense, since it includes ground

While I was eating it, I wished for some crusty slices of Italian bread to sop up the juices and soften the tangy bite of the sauce, but there was none. An Italian restaurant should most certainly be serving bread to all its customers. Period.

MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA
Salvatore’s: Good, authentic Italian food Continued from Page 12 steak was impressively well executed: juicy, tender on the inside and a bit crisp on the outside. The steak was a tad underdone, more like medium rare than medium (it was bleeding, and steaks cooked to medium are generally somewhat pink in the middle but not bleeding), but the flavor was so sensational I was willing to overlook it. At first I thought the gorgonzola topping to be rather paltry, but my rule about a good steak needing no additional flavorings held true here. The gorgonzola proved a nice accompaniment, but the robust flavor of the steak itself didn’t really need it. The potatoes were also very pleasant but a bit overcooked – the starch bonds in potatoes can get “gluey” when boiled too long – but they were edible. The side-
dish vegetables seemed more obligation than inspiration. I ate a few carrots and pushed the rest aside. In keeping with the Italian theme, we chose the tiramisu for dessert. Tiramisu (Italian for “pick me up”) is made of ladyfingers (“savoiardi”) dipped in coffee, layered with a whipped mixture of egg yolks and mascarpone cheese (“zabaglione”), and flavored with liqueur and cocoa. I was again quite pleased with the dish, and with its authenticity: the ladyfingers were soft and cake-like from soaking in coffee, and the zabaglione was a thick, dense and creamy consistency, pleasantly spiced and not cloyingly sweet. It’s been said that the first and most important rule when opening a business is location, location, location. Though it’s tucked a bit out of the way, Salvatore’s is a hidden gem worth discovering.

Seaside’s First Saturday Art Walk Feathered friends alight at Fairweather, carvings drift into Tilted Art and Gifts SEASIDE — Northwest naturalists and photographers Neal Maine and Michael Wing will be featured at Fairweather House and Garden for Seaside’s First Saturday Art Walk, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 5. The show highlights imagery exploring wildlife in the context of its habitat, as well as capturing action images that illustrate the dynamic nature of coastal wildlife. Maine taught biology at Seaside High School for 30 years and was a founding member of the North Coast Land Conservancy, as well as its executive director for 10 years. With Wing, his grandson and business partner, they established PacificLight Images, dedicated to raising public awareness about our region’s natural resources through nature photography. Their photography centers around coastal and Columbia River landscape, ecology and the rich estuary habitat with the surrounding wetlands and forest systems. At Tilted Art and Gifts, 417 S. Holladay Drive, the first featured artist of the year will be Josh Blewett, who recently relocated to the Seaside area from Washington. The renowned regional chainsaw artist uses cedar driftwood and old-growth cedar left from the Camp 18 1930s forest fire to carve art to be used both indoors and outdoors. He uses a variety of themes and draws inspiration for each piece of art from the wood itself. The exhibit includes crab and starfish carvings from two to five feet in length. Also available are cedar driftwood signs and greetings by Ellie. Enjoy coffee and cookies from noon to 4 p.m. and an artist reception from 5 to 7 p.m. with wine, nibbles and live music. For more information, call 503-739-7070. For more Art Walk locations and to obtain a map, visit www.seasidechamber.com or stop by the Seaside Chamber of Commerce at 7 N. Roosevelt (U.S. Highway 101). Or you can simply walk around downtown Seaside from 5 to 7 p.m. Jan. 5 and look for the Art Walk signs.
Said the artist: “We take pictures, take walks, take deep breaths, make memories, ride waves, harvest timber, and step into a habitat that used to belong to other travels. “We thought we could never catch all the salmon, never cut all the big trees and never pollute the oceans. With renewed humility, we are learning to share this place, to live together with our partner trail makers. We celebrate this partnership as we use our images to inspire others to honor nature’s trails.” During the coming year, 40 percent of all sales at Fairweather House and Garden will be donated to the North Coast Land Conservancy. The group’s headquarters was destroyed by a recent fire. Fairweather House and Garden is located at 612 Broadway, in the historic Gilbert District. For more information, go to www.fairweatherhouseand garden.com
