Left: North Fork 53, a new agritourism destination in Nehalem, will host its Grand Opening at 4 p.m.

Saturday, Oct. 10. The event will feature a local food farm-to-table feast, live music, a ribbon cutting, tours, local artist showcase and more.

North Fork 53: A place where good things meet The Nehalem Valley’s first farmer-owned agritourism food hub celebrates its grand opening hey say good things come to those who wait. For those who live in and visit the Nehalem Valley, the wait is over. North Fork 53, a small organic farmstead that offers lodging, hands-on workshops, and farmto-table products and experiences, will swing its big red barn doors open for a Grand Opening Celebration from 4 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10.

Travel just a short way up Oregon Highway 53 outside of Nehalem, and the hustle and bustle of beach tourism fades into the quiet distance. The scenery is straight from the musings of John Muir, when he urged people to “keep close to nature’s heart and break clear away, once in a while, spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.�

It is here, in the heart of the Nehalem Valley that the dream that is now North Fork 53 was born.

Ginger Edwards, founder and executive director of North Fork 53, has called the Nehalem Valley home for 14 years and farmed it full-time for the past seven. Her passion for knowing

T

where her food comes from is evidenced by her involvement in other local ventures; she is head organic farmer and founder of R-evolution Gardens, also on Highway 53, and one of the original organizers of the Manzanita Farmers Market.

When the property across the road from R-evolution Gardens came up for sale, the timing couldn’t have been better. “It’s a beautiful property, but it had never really been on our radar,�

Edwards says. “When it came up for sale, we started dreaming about the possibilities.�

The property was an original homestead from the 1930s and offered a wealth of potential: a large red barn perfect for big events and classes, and a four-bedroom farm house overlooking the north fork of the Nehalem River.

Now, the house is undergoing a rapid transformation. Edwards sees the large, modern kitchen space as a showcase for the property’s mission. “Every bit of food they (visitors) eat will be from this farm or a neighboring farm,� she says.

North Fork 53 also provides visitors with tours to see how the farm’s

More info

North Fork 53 is located at 77282 Oregon Highway 53 in Nehalem. To inquire about tickets ($80 to $100) for the grand opening, or for general information, call 503-368-3044 or email northforkginger@gmail. com. Learn more about the farm at www.northfork53.com food is grown, harvested and prepared.

Edwards adds that the interest in sustainable and renewable living is not a trend, but something people have taken to heart. “They will feel more connected to this place and want to support local farms as they travel and eat,� she says.

At R-evolution Gardens, Edwards had begun to see that people were seeking a well-rounded food experience. “We wanted to tap interest we’ve been experiencing — of people just pulling in our driveway and asking questions, wanting tours,� she says.

It was notable that visitors were not all from the local area; people pulled off the road going to and from Portland, Salem and beyond. Edwards says all are curious about the farming lifestyle and seeking answers on how to grow and prepare their own food.

Ginger Edwards prepares to hang the new sign for North Fork 53, a new local food and agritourism destination in Nehalem.

It was a deeper interest level in skills and techniques that many in modern society either never learned or simply forgot, such as canning and pickling. “People want to have more of those skills themselves, they want to have their own gardens and teach that to their kids,� she says.

North Fork 53 will offer the chance for people to learn those skills and better hone their ability to make healthy choices. Visitors will be able to interact with the people who grow and sell their food.

Edwards, who teaches young farmers, also sees the property as a place where other small farmers can “plug in to� and collectively pack, store, cool and sell food.

She adds that it took years to make her connections and build infrastructure. Her hope with North Fork 53 is to not only pass on her knowledge to prospective farmers, but to provide a central place. “It wasn’t just about our farm anymore,� she says. “We started thinking of it as a local food hub.�

Edwards is joined in her passion for building a local food visitor’s circuit by Nehalem grass-fed beef and pastured pork and poultry producers Jared Gardner and Hilary Foote of

Nehalem River Ranch and Jeff Wong of Community Supported Fishery in Garibaldi.

North Fork 53’s grand opening will serve as a showcase for that notion: a farm-to-table feast featuring North Coast organic vegetables, seafood, beef and artisan foods, along with Oregon beer and wine and a local art show.

One hundred tickets are for sale, and they are going fast.

As North Fork 53 comes together, Edwards is glad that the interest in farming and healthy eating is more than a trend, but part of a larger community-supported vision. “All of this was community-funded,� she says of the farm’s renovations, which were funded by a community fundraising campaign. “None of it came out of my pocket. This wouldn’t have happened without community support.�

Overall, Edwards wants visitors to feel relaxed and become part of the community. She wants them to walk WKH ÂżHOGV KDUYHVW WKH IRRG DQG VKDUH in the joy the land has given her. “I read this quote on the Internet the other day,â€? she says. “It said, ‘If you have more than you need, build a table not a wall.’ That’s a really great metaphor for this project.â€?

See buildings ‘Under Wraps’ at LightBox Photographic Portland photographer Loren Nelson opens new exhibit focusing on transition ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will host an opening and artist reception for photographer Loren Nelson of Portland from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday Oct. 10.

The exhibit “Under Wraps” includes 25 fiber silver gelatin prints of one of Nelson’s signature series, exploring the beauty and intrigue of structures under plastic wraps.

“I have been photographing in the Paci¿c Northwest since 1970, using a Deardorff 4x5 view camera, all in glorious black and white,” Nelson says. “Over the years I have also photographed countless commercial assignments with both ¿lm and digital, including interiors and exteriors of buildings for architects and designers.”

Nelson shoots ¿lm and uses a traditional darkroom to produce selenium-toned silver gelatin prints, in limited editions. Using a view camera encourages a meditative approach, which is well suited to his subject matter of landscapes, seascapes, Àowers and leaves, as well as the photos of “Under Wraps,” a series of plastic-wrapped buildings that he began in 1996.

“It is likely that these images are a natural outgrowth

“116 Marion St., Salem, OR” by Loren Nelson.

of my fascination with architecture,” Nelson says.

“I caught sight of a motel under construction near my home, draped in white plastic, glowing against a threatening black sky. I squeezed through the fence, exposed a few negatives and ¿gured I was done.

“I wasn’t. Three wrapped structures later I realized I was captivated by these temporary sculptures and soon had an informal collaboration with family, friends and colleagues, who continue to alert me to sightings.”

The images in this show are a commentary on transition and transformation.

“As this portfolio evolves, I imagine the plastic covering not so much as concealing a mysterious metamorphosis, but rather as a protective skin, carefully sutured, protecting the renovation and healing within,” Nelson says, adding, “whether a structure is rising anew, undergoing repairs, or getting a fresh coat of paint, we are reminded of our own ability to change our lives, remain structurally sound and gain new life.”

Nelson’s photographs are in numerous public and private collections, including the Portland Art Museum, the Visual Chronicles of Portland and Beaverton,

the City of Portland Portable Works Collection, Oregon State University Art About Agriculture collection, and the Allison Inn in Newberg.

He is represented by Wall Space Gallery in Santa Barbara, California and Seattle, Washington, and by the Portland Art Museum Rental Sales Gallery. He has recently served on the board of the Portland Photographers’ Forum and has been published in LensWork, B&W Magazine, Shots and View Camera Magazine. Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1952, he lives in Tigard with his wife, Ann. “Under Wraps” will be on display in the gallery to Nov. 10.

Also in the gallery is new work from LightBox Darkroom members, presenting archival ¿ber silver gelatin prints. LightBox offers supporting memberships for those who would like to help promote the creative photographic arts on the North Coast.

LightBox offers scanning, photo restorations, archival digital printing and framing.

It is located at 1045 Marine Drive. For more information, call 503-468-0238 or email info@lightbox-photographic.com

The Water Music Festival presents marvelous music on the Long Beach Peninsula Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9 and 10

T

Take note — no, make that, take many notes. No pencil, pens or paper needed; listening is the only pleasurable requirement.

Well, maybe a couple of toe taps and approving nods, swoons and sways. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 9 and 10 on the Long Beach Peninsula, the Water Music Festival will ¿ll the autumn air with an abundance of musical notes and styles aplenty.

“I know, I know, I know. Every year I say this is the best year ever,” says Water Music Festival Chairwoman Diane Marshall.

“But what a great thing to be able to say.”

At 7 p.m. Friday, this year’s lineup kicks off at the Inn at Harbour Village in Ilwaco, Washington. University of Oregon a cappella group On the Rocks blends a dozen male voices in close and clever harmony. In case “a cappella” sounds familiar but you can’t quite remember why, the Italian musical term means “without instrumental accompaniment.” There’s de¿nitely no

need, as this vocal group mixes energy, zeal, high notes, low notes and in-the-middle notes.

Oh, there’s dancing too: choreography ¿lled with sly antics and some way-smooth moves. This performance has something for everybody and a wide appeal to all ages.

Formed in 1999, OTR members are students at the University of Oregon. The original group graduated, but each new year brings on new recruits. In 2010 the group went viral with two YouTube videos. First “Subway Rick Roll,” reached over one million viewers. Next came their interpretation of Lady Gaga’s “Bad Romance.” To date (at last check anyway), that performance had 5,765,549 hits. Five albums later plus a runner up’s spot on NBC’s a cappella reality competition “The Sing Off,” the group’s tagline remains “Talent never graduates.”

A nonpro¿t, the Water Music Festival Society aims to provide high-quality, affordable music

programs for residents and visitors. It seeks to expand cultural opportunities for the community, increase awareness of diverse types of music, and support music education in the local schools.

That last goal is easily in evidence with this year’s festival.

“Friday morning will ¿nd On the Rocks doing our inschool outreach,” Marshall says.

“Rachel Lake is our upper and lower schools’ music teacher.

She is somewhat of a legend herself for her musical talents and dedication to our schools’ healthy and burgeoning music programs. I’ve never seen her more excited than she is about the students and this year’s outreach.”

The festival concerts continue noon Saturday in the historic Oysterville, Washington, church, world-renowned classical Spanish guitarist Paul Galbraith performs on his eight-string Brahms guitar, which he literally played a role in developing. Classical guitars

normally have six strings. Galbraith’s eight-string guitar has an additional high string plus its additional low string. His guitar is also supported by a metal endpin, similar to a cello, and rests on a wooden resonance box when he plays.

In 1998, this skilled guitarist was a Grammy Award nominee and named one of Billboard’s “Top Ten” artists of the year for his critically acclaimed recordings. Works from classical masters along with folk tunes showcase his musical personality. At 17, Galbraith took part in the ¿rst Segovia International Guitar Competition held in Kent, England. The youngest competitor from 14 countries, he won the silver medal. Andres Segovia, regarded as one of the greatest guitarists of all time, said to the press following the competition, “Paul is magni¿cent. He will be a great artist.” Segovia was spot on.

The Water Music Festival continues Saturday evening at the north end of the peninsula.

The private Leadbetter Farms estate will open its gates to ticket holders at 6 p.m. At 7 p.m., professional concert saxophonist Ashu will perform for 100 guests in a theater.

Defying convention, Ashu made his recital debut at Carnegie Hall at age 16. He continues to win major international awards and competitions that are traditionally awarded to pianists and violinists. Ashu will be accompanied by pianist Alexandre Moutouzkine, who,

like Ashu, claims top prizes in competition both nationally and internationally.

The only downside to Ashu’s appearance is that unless you already have tickets for his performance, you’re out of luck; that ¿nal Water Music Festival concert has been sold out for months.

The upside, though, is all the other aspects of the 31-year-old music festival. Performers, past and present, line up, vying each year to perform. And an army of seasoned volunteers gladly offer assistance wherever and whenever needed to get the shows to where they need to be.

Area locals lodge and feed the musicians, and they don’t hesitate to provide transportation. “Our volunteers do just about anything they can to help out. Then the musicians put the icing on the cake so to speak,” says Marshall.

All in all, everyone involved comes together to create yet another year of magical music.

10 ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits.

ART BUSINESSES

1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Imogen introduces the nostalgic and contemplative paintings of Laura Hamje, of Seattle. Hamje has found herself haunted for years by beloved bridges. Her imagery most often focuses on the grand and iconic Astoria Bridge.

She’s held a strong love and fascination for the area and as result it’s become informative to her work, shaping her vision. “Astoria is a magical place on the edge of the world, where I can see infinity,” she says.

2. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. Long Beach Peninsula artists Marie Powell and Penny Treat present the collaborative exhibition “Water, Water” that is part installation and includes original monotypes, woodblock prints and paintings on silk fabrics. This body of work pays tribute to water as a precious resource for all life forms on earth, one that is increasingly compromised by the demands of human civilization, population increases and climate change. Both artists will be on hand to discuss their work and the inspiration that fueled their collaboration.

Showing in the Alcove is “Supernatural Aid,” a collection of figurative and mysterious walnut ink paintings

by Benz and Chang, inspired by vintage photos, curios, and spiritualism in the early 20th century. These works are based on imaginary narratives set in specific years and rely on intensive research of history, costume and popular trends of the depicted time periods. The exclusive use of walnut ink as a medium offers rich sepia tones that readily mimic the look of early photographs. Portland artist Dave Benz will be in house to answer all questions, including queries about the mysterious and elusive Chang, who will not be making an appearance.

“Rusty Ghost” by Terry Shumaker at Astoria Art Loft.

3. Old Town Framing Company 1287 Commercial St. Old Town Framing and the North Coast Food Web come together for “FOODLe Off In Astoria,” a doodling about food event. All ages are welcome.

4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. “Women Who Fish” is the title of the new show at Tempo Gallery featuring local artist Phyllis Taylor. Taylor and her husband moved to Astoria from Indiana about two years ago. Living on the Columbia River is new to her. Watching the fishing boats on the river and talking with neighbors, she became aware of the large number of men and women who enthusiastically fish the Columbia. Her new acrylic paintings focus on some of these local women who love to fish. She has also created a series of mini paintings of the salmon and crab caught in the Columbia River. Bruce Charles will play classical guitar, and refreshments will be provided.

5. KALA 1017 Marine Drive KALA presents local artists Eva Kirk and Alex Shumaker in a co-show. Kirk is a multimedia artist working with acrylic, collage and any other medium she may have at hand. Her chaotic and colorful work is semi-inspired by dreams, the Internet and cartoons. The pieces in this show are done mostly on paper.

Shumaker draws much of his inspiration from cartoons, witchcraft and strange music. Using mostly acrylics on wood panels, his works are a combination of symbolism and characters that are fitting for the Halloween season.

6. Astoria Art Loft 106 Third St. Astoria Art Loft holds an open house from 3 to 6 p.m. featuring photographer and oil painter Terry Shumaker. A cartographer by education and a graphic artist by profession, Shumaker has also

7. Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. Luminari Arts celebrates October with frightening Halloween tricks and treats.

Diversity project holds panel discussion ASTORIA — The Lower Columbia Diversity Project invites the public to Cops and Community: A Local Perspective from 7 to 9 p.m.

Thursday, Oct. 15 at the Judge Boyington Building, located at 857 Commercial St. This panel discussion of community policing will include representatives from the police departments of Astoria, Cannon Beach, Gearhart, Seaside and Warrenton.

The presentation is free, and everyone is welcome.

Community policing is an essential part of the life of our cities. Local police of¿cers aren¶t just enforcers

of the law and protectors of the peace. They are part of a foundation of service that allows cities to prosper and citizens to enjoy quality of life.

Police work has never been an easy job, and the challenges of homelessness, mental illness, drug and alcohol abuse, and other social issues continue to confront local communities. The need for positive community relationships, perhaps now more than ever, is important to law enforcement. Come attend this important conversation.

The 1912 Mary Kinney Estate — aka the Stone House — is a landmark in the Lewis and Clark area.

Designed by a widowed Mary Strong Kinney when she was 53 years old, the house has long had a reputation as one of the most extraordinary homes in Astoria.

Discuss death, dying at Astoria Public Library Oregon Humanities to lead conversation on difficult subjects ASTORIA — Death is part of the human experience; all of us have experienced loss and all of us will die one day. Yet conversations about death and dyinJ are dif¿cult and often avoided even with close family members and friends.

The public is invited to participate in a free community conversation about death and dying at 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9 at Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th St.

Talking About Dying is a one-time, 90-minute community discussion that provides Oregonians with an opportunity to reÀect on what stories and inÀuences have shaped their thinking about death and dying and to hear different perspectives and ideas from fellow community members.

Participants will explore essential questions: “What do we think about when we think of dying?” For the people who

have moved closer to death, “What seemed to work well for them and the people close to them? What seemed dif¿cult?” And, when we think about our own dying, “What do we want most?”

Participants will come away from this conversation with a strengthened sense of community support and collective engagement around these questions, as well as a resource list with tools and in-

Christopher Sanford talks new Roman Stephanie Schneiderman Polanski biography at Seaside library plays Peninsula Arts Center SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library welcomes author Christopher Sandford as he speaks about his book “Polanski: A Biography” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 8. The event will take place in the Seaside Library’s community room with book sales and signings following the talk.

“Polanski” is an in-depth examination of one of Hollywood’s most famous and infamous ¿lm directors, 5oman Polanski. Born in Paris to Polish-Jewish parents, Polanski dealt with the terrors of his childhood — including interment in Auschwitz, the death of his pregnant mother in the camps and his father’s imprisonment throughout World War II. He also lived as a scavenger on his own in the Krakow ghetto for much of the German occupation. During this period of his life, Polanski created an elaborate fantasy world in which he lived as a ¿lm star to offset the horrors surrounding him.

He later attended Lodz National Film School and began attracting attention for voyPENINSULA ARTS ASSOCIATION

“Polanski: A biography” by Christopher Sandford.

eurism, sexual tension and latent violence, themes that ran through his ¿lms “5osemary’s Baby” (1968) and “Chinatown” (1974).

Polanski’s life and career in America were marred by two pivotal events: the 1969 slaying of his pregnant wife Sharon Tate by members of the Manson Family and Polanski’s own arrest for the statutory rape of a 13-year old girl.

Acclaimed biographer Christopher Sandford draws on dozens of interviews with actors who have worked with Polanski, as well as previously sealed transcripts of his criminal hearings following accu-

sations that lead to his exile.

There are also personal reÀections on the murders of Tate and other friends of the couple

by Charles Manson, who was convicted on conspiracy to commit those murders.

attend from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 10 at the Warrenton Community Center.

Many people are expended to attend, since Fee’s life touched many local residents and visitors over the years.

There will be an opportunity for attendees to speak.

Fee founded the Wildlife Center of the North Coast almost 20 years ago in a small, single-wide trailer on the center’s property in Olney. She began with only one or two volunteers and one or two birds. Her project grew into a facility that handles 2,000 to 3,000 animals a year, providing care for many injured or rehabilitating seabirds, one of only a few in the county.

She could not have done it without citizen support. The center receives no direct government funding, other than a small grant it applies for from Cannon Beach. It depends largely on donations and volunteers

Astoria Visual Arts expands artist-in-residence program Two Astoria artists have been selected for October to December residencies ASTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Kinzi Gordon and Liz Harris of Astoria have been selected for the upcoming threemonth residencies as part of the Astoria Visual Artsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; artist-in-residence program. The program runs from Oct. 1 through Dec. 30.

The two artists will be able to work unencumbered in studios provided rent-free by AVA with support from Astoria Coffeehouse & Bistro, Astoria Co-op Grocery, City Lumber, Dots â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;N Doodles Art Supplies and Fort George Brewery. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I enjoy experimenting with different media,â&#x20AC;? says Gordon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;During this residency I will create an interactive mural. There ZLOO EH WZR HOHPHQWV WKH ÂżUVW will be a mural of an earthly paradise and the next will be illustrations on transparencies that could be placed anywhere on the mural by visitors to the studio. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would tie into my current project, one Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been working on for over two years, which is a story about the layers of fantasy projected over our reality and how our technology blurs the lines between them.

Harris aims to work on a detailed wall painting for the entire residency. She also wants to use her studio time to work on a series of smaller drawings that will be published in an upcoming 2016 art book by Shelter Press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These explorations will continue a recent trajectory into pattern making that incorporates

The AVA artist-in-residence program is designed to encourage the creative, intellectual and professional growth of emerging artists. While no exhibition is required of selected artists, community responsibility includes a weekend open studio event before the end of each AVA a-i-r session.

The Seaside Public Library often hosts visiting authors.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Seaside Public Library I pulled into the parking lot of the Seaside Public Library on an overcast evening and saw the billboard advertising my reading. It was the final stop of my tour promoting “A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide.” I’d gigged the book all over Portland and down the Oregon Coast in 2015, 16 events total, evangelizing for Astoria and the vitality of its past and future. It had been a great run, but I was ready to move on.

Seaside’s library is one of my favorite on the Oregon Coast, and I’ve pretty much visited them all in my literary life. The building, grounds, interior and staff all merge to exude a wonderful feeling of erudition.

Assistant Director Jon Burke greeted me after I walked into the presentation room as he prepared coffee and cookies for the event. He asked me if needed water (I did) and I asked about the history of the library. He told me it opened seven years ago, and a Seaside man named Elwood Groot donated a lot of money to help build it.

Then Jon and I launched into a spirited conversation about — what else? — books! He recommended a modern Western written by a Portland author and encouraged me to write one — a Western! Maybe I will and set it at the Oregon Country Fair. If I do, I guarantee the gentle sheriff’s name will be Elwood Groot because it’s a great name for a law man with a big heart.

The library boasts a fantastic friends group that operates a used book store on site that raises all the funds to provide visiting authors a stipend. The library also hosts Writers at Work, a group “designed for writers to meet and share ideas with local authors.”

This is the kind of support that is crucial for aspiring and established writers to succeed. Thank you Seaside Public Library for what you do.

The clock struck 7 p.m. We started on time, and Jon introduced me to a crowd of around 20 people. The vibe was relaxed, even jovial, and I stepped out from behind the podium and the show began.

Matt Love lives in Astoria and is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including “A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide” and “The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel.” They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com

Captain’s Quarters

By RYAN HUME Downtown Astoria’s Albatross continues to do amazing things by simply pouring booze on top of booze. As it turns out: It’s really all about having the right booze to pour.

On a recent afternoon, shortly after the harvest supermoon finished a total lunar eclipse and began to wane, I happened upon yet another singular concoction dreamed up by master mixologist and owner Eric Bechard that spoke deeply of autumn.

The door was open and the cold had followed me inside, but not even the chill in the air or the touch of ice on this bourbon-centric cocktail could cool its inherent warmth. There’s a hint of smoky, peety goodness from the scotch rinse on the backend, while up front you are introduced to a bouquet of herbal tingles by way of the fernet.

If one were truly dapper, this is what would be in your thermos at any New England-style leaf burn.

Ingredients: 2 ounces Old Grand-Dad bourbon 3/4 ounce Luxardo Maraschino* 3/4 ounce Fernet-Branca** 3 dashes Regan’s orange bitters A rinse of Caol Ila — a 12-year Scotch whisky, or use a dab of your favorite smoky, Islay scotch Ice Orange peel for garnish
