Tayla Lynn, Eric Tingstad bring country tunes to Clatskanie CLATSKANIE — The Clatskanie Arts Commission is kicking off its 28th annual Performing Arts Series with a performance by Tayla Lynn, granddaughter of country legend Loretta Lynn, and Grammy Award-winning guitarist Eric Tingstad. The performance will be at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24 at Clatskanie’s Birkenfeld Theatre, located at 75 S. Nehalem St. “It all begins with a song” — that’s the motto for the Nashville Songwriters Association.

The

solitude T

of Soapstone Lake Trail By DAN HAAG

There are times when I need to get lost — detach, unplug, disappear. That feeling intensifies as the bustling madness of the summer months come to a head with the arrival of Labor Day weekend. For me, the best way to cope with months of traffic jams and car alarms is hitting a trail and hiking away my lingering summer hangover. But where to go? Popular trails like Cape Falcon and Saddle Mountain are still busy with hikers trying to devour that last morsel of summer. I need a spot with a bit more anonymity, somewhere requiring effort to find, which is why I celebrated the official end of summer at Soapstone Lake Trail. Located within the Clatsop State Forest along the winding, twisting roller coaster that is Oregon Highway 53, it requires a bit of an iron stomach to reach. I hadn’t hiked Soapstone Lake Trail in nearly 10 years. The last time I did, it took me nearly half a day to find it; it had been unmarked by anything resembling a sign, though I remembered that as part of its allure. I was glad I made the effort then and was eager to return. Soapstone Lake Trail is as quiet and pastoral a spot as I’ve ever been in Oregon.

FOR ME, THE BEST WAY TO COPE WITH MONTHS OF TRAFFIC JAMS IS HITTING A TRAIL AND HIKING AWAY MY LINGERING SUMMER HANGOVER.

The Lindgren Cabin, now located at Cullaby Lake County Park, once sat in this meadow along Soapstone Lake Trail.

The gravel road entrance on the northeast end of Highway 53 is thankfully easy to spot, and the parking lot lies below the highway. There’s room for just a few cars, maybe four or ﬁve tops. From there, the trail meanders through Sitka spruce, Western hemlock and ferns while paralleling Soapstone Creek. As with most trails, dogs are welcome but required to be on leashes. Strategically placed foot bridges keep booted feet from disturbing moss and wildﬂowers. It’s a relatively easy hike with no major changes in elevation, just a nice sloping, wide path with plenty of picture-taking opportunities. Shortly, the trail opens

onto a meadow that was the site of an old homestead once upon a time — the Lindgren Cabin, which now rests at Cullaby Lake County Park in Warrenton. The silence of the spot made me wish I could build a retreat here and spend the rest of my days listening to gentle breezes swaying through the leaves. Barring that, it was a nice place for a picnic. After crossing the meadow, the trail eventually rises up railroad tie stairs, which in turn lead to the ﬁrst glimpse of the lake itself. The main trail narrows at this point, circling the lake and offering plenty of fallen logs suitable for sitting to catch a glimpse of an eagle. The trail around the lake is about half a mile, and the terrain rises and falls a bit more.

From the parking lot, the trail leads to and then circles Soapstone Lake, offering plenty of picture-taking opportunities.

One feature to watch for is the constant presence of newts; the lakeside and much of the trail is alive with the little squirming buggers. While I’ve heard people say they’ve swam in the lake, I wouldn’t only because it seems a bit boggy: perfectly ﬁne for the newts, but I passed. Eventually, you’ll loop back around to where you began, climbing a short set

of stairs and crossing a small clearing along the way. There and back again, as it were, is roughly a mile and a half each way, and hikers should plan on about 90 minutes to two hours to fully appreciate the trail and its abundant surroundings. Back at the parking lot — where mine was still the only vehicle — I stopped to ponder whether or not I wanted to share how to ﬁnd

this place. Maybe I should just leave it alone and let really dedicated solitude-seekers ﬁnd it themselves. But sharing coastal trails with everyone is really the whole point of having them. Besides, I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels the need to walk into the woods and disappear for a short while. Soapstone Lake Trail is maintained by Oregon Department of Forestry.

Peninsula Arts Center hosts modern troubadour Beth Wood in concert LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Peninsula Arts Center will present Beth Wood, a modern-day troubadour and believer in the power of song, for a performance at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24. Wood’s musicianship, crafty songwriting and commanding stage presence have been winning over American audiences for 16 years. Her music is a soulful, intelligent, high-energy communication of joy. Wood began her musical journey in Lubbock, a high-plains Texas town with a rich musical heritage that includes Buddy Holly, Natalie and Lloyd Maines, Mac Davis and Joe Ely to name a few. When she wasn’t dodging tornadoes and dust storms, Wood was studying classical piano, violin, harp and voice and contemplating the greatness of her dad’s record collection. With big dreams of

becoming a musician, Wood left west Texas to study voice and piano in North Carolina. A detour from her classical studies led her to Austin, where she picked up a degree in literature and a guitar. She began writing her own songs and discovered

a feeling of freedom she’s been hooked on ever since. Sixteen years, thousands of shows, nine albums and numerous awards later, Wood has never looked back. “Spring Tide,” her latest album, is an intimate collection of original songs. Over-

looking the ocean in Lincoln City, Wood and producer Tyler Fortier captured these songs in their most elemental form, just as they were written, with just one voice and solo acoustic guitar. Wood has been featured on OPB’s “Artbeat” and on “Troubadour, TX,” a nationally syndicated documentary-style singer-songwriter reality TV series. She’s also been a three-time featured artist on Cayamo: A Journey Through Song, a week-long Caribbean songwriter cruise. The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Pacific Ave. N. Admission is $12 at the door, online through Brown Paper Tickets, or call Bill at 360-901-0962. Wine, beer and other refreshments are available for purchase. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Concerts benefit the Long Beach Peninsula Acoustic Music Association, a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

Learn how to operate a shelter in an emergency ASTORIA — This October, a member of the Red Cross will teach a one-day workshop about operating an emergency shelter. Ann Fenderson, the regional mass care lead for the Red Cross, will conduct the all-day comprehensive training course “Sheltering with Confidence” from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Oct. 2. The course will take place in the Astoria School District board room at the Capt. Robert Gray School, located at 785 Alameda Ave. The public is invited, and the training is free. Participants will gain valuable insights about opening and operating a shelter from Fenderson, a Salem resident and Red

Cross shelter manager with experience ranging from Hurricane Sandy to last year’s Oregon wildfires. In an isolated area like Clatsop County, whether there is to be a Red Cross response in the form of feeding or sheltering is up to local residents becoming volunteers. Volunteers make up 90 percent of the Red Cross workforce, and the local Red Cross is actively seeking new volunteers. Volunteers receive free training. Local, state and national emergency agencies tell residents here to expect to handle disasters alone for at least 24 to 72 hours. Red Cross and other emergency training could prove invaluable. Over the past year, local

Red Cross volunteers have updated shelter agreements with schools, churches and community centers and held sheltering training exercises at these sites. During the winter quarter, the Red Cross will partner with Clatsop Community College to offer an in-depth 20-hour “Comprehensive Shelter Training” workshop taught over two weekends and covering all aspects of shelter operations. The one-day “Sheltering with Confidence” workshop Oct. 2 will come at the end of September’s National Preparedness month activities; groups throughout the area have been working on various types of preparedness activities. Clatsop

County Emergency Manager Tiffany Brown has secured a grant enabling the creation of an emergency services database of all county shelter sites (not just Red Cross). The Astoria Warming Center begins its third year helping un-housed/un-sheltered community members survive the winter and welcomes new volunteers. Volunteer trainings will be posted on the warming center’s Facebook page in October. For more information on the “Sheltering with Confidence” workshop or the Red Cross, contact Malachi Hindle, the disaster program manager of the Cascades region by calling 503-4889684 or emailing malachi. hindle@redcross.org

nities. Summit workshops are geared toward the needs of small- to medium-sized tourism businesses while keynotes aim to present big picture perspectives. One talk will feature Clatsop County Historical Society Executive Director Mac Burns, who will give the talk “Authentic Astoria,” focusing on Astoria’s tourism renaissance. Widely known as the best example on the coast of how to successfully take advantage of a tourism economy while holding fast to history, culture and community character, Astoria continues to be a rising star and a significant player in Oregon’s tourism industry. Since its founding in 1811, Astoria has weathered numerous changes in economy, demographic and community identity. Honoring Astoria’s historic and cultural roots was carefully considered during the integration of tourism with traditional industries. A pre-dinner excursion

Plan and plant now for spring-flowering bulbs Registration open for Gifts By LEE REICH

ASSOCIATED PRESS

It’s nearly that time of year when gardeners think of spring — of planting bulbs that are going to bloom then. Bulbs are “pre-packaged” flowers, so a green thumb isn’t necessary to get those first season’s blossoms. Still, a few tips for buying and planting bulbs can make for a better show next spring.

Bigger is better

The bigger the bulbs, the bigger next spring’s flowers. Bulbs are usually sold as small, medium or top size, the measurement taken around the circumference where the bulb is fattest. Which measurements go with which size depends on the kind of bulb. Small tulips are 10 to 11 centimeters around, medium ones 11 to 12 centimeters, and anything larger is top size. Naturally smaller bulbs include certain tulips, such as the charming waterlily tulip, as well as grape hyacinth, crocus and snow drop.

More is better

Over time, with good care, smaller bulbs will grow into larger ones, whose show will match that of the initially fatter bulbs. One way to compensate for smaller

Over time, spring flowering bulbs, especially narcissuses like the ones shown here, can multiply and become overcrowded, at which time they need to be dug up, separated and replanted.

flowers would be to plant more of them, putting your money into buying more rather than fatter bulbs. More is better, for any kind of bulb. Forget about planting tulips in a single file ready to march like soldiers down the edge of your front path. Instead, plan for big dollops of color, massing bulbs in circular groups or, for bolder visual effect from fewer bulbs, triangular groupings with an apex directed to your vantage point.

Good conditions

Even though this coming spring’s flowers are already packaged inside bulbs, the more sunlight the plants

bask in, the better will be the show they put on in years to come. The spot where you plant bulbs doesn’t have to be bathed in sunlight all season — only until the bulbs’ leaves disappear. Those leaves disappear, fortuitously, at about the same time that emerging leaves of deciduous trees finally knit together to create shade. Another consideration in siting spring bulbs is soil drainage; most abhor wet feet. The original home of tulips, narcissus, crocuses, and many other popular spring bulbs are the mountainsides of western Asia, on ground that is parched all summer. Holland is a good

Designers wanted for Festival of Trees SEASIDE — Providence Seaside Hospital Foundation is currently seeking tree designers for this year’s Festival of Trees, scheduled to take place on Dec. 3 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center. Designing a tree for Festival of Trees is a great opportunity for businesses, organizations, families or individuals to support the community and have a lot of fun at the same time. Each designer decides

the theme of their tree, then decorates it to be featured at the community open house and auctioned off at the gala. All proceeds support the Providence Seaside Hospital and local programs and services. Designers can showcase their design talents, honor a loved one, or use this as a community service or team-building project for staff. For more information

place to raise bulbs commercially because the long, cool, moist springs delay dormancy. In the long time before the bulbs’ leaves finally die back, the greenery has plenty of time to fuel the following season’s flower buds. What about fertilizer? The traditional recommendation is to put bone meal into the bottom of the planting hole. Actually, a bulb does not need fertilizer to flower well its first season, only to flower well in subsequent seasons. What these bulbs really need is any balanced fertilizer — including compost — spread on the ground right after planting this fall or even in spring. Bone meal is not a particularly well-balanced fertilizer. Good growing conditions will get these bulbs multiplying, with younger bulbs budding off the mother bulb. Overcrowded bulbs won’t flower well, so they’ll eventually need to be dug up; a good time is when the foliage is dying down. They can then be replanted with sufficient elbow room. And unless your yard is free of deer, plant types of bulbs that deer don’t like, such as ornamental onions, glory-of-the-snow, winter aconite, fritillaria, snowdrop, hyacinth, snowflake, squill and narcissus.

PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — This year — an Olympic year — Timberland Regional Library’s annual Timberland Reads Together program will focus on a best-selling true story with local roots, unlikely heroes, long odds and a thrilling ending: “The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics.” In its 12th year, Timberland Reads Together promotes and celebrates reading and community. One book is chosen each year that has widespread appeal across various interests. Everyone in the five-county library district in southwest Washington is encouraged to read the book and to attend free book discussions, author presentations, live performances and programs throughout the month of October at local Timberland libraries and other venues. “The Boys in the Boat” by Daniel James Brown celebrates the 1936 U.S. men’s Olympic eight-oar rowing team — nine working-class college students from the University of Washington who stormed the rowing world, transformed the sport and galvanized the attention of millions of Americans. The sons of loggers, shipyard workers and farmers from the American West, the boys took on and defeated successive echelons of privilege and power. They vanquished the sons of bankers and senators rowing for elite eastern universities. They defeated the sons of British aristocrats rowing for Oxford and Cambridge. And finally, in an extraordinary race in Berlin, they stunned the Aryan sons of the Nazi state as they rowed for gold in front of Adolf Hitler. Against the grim backdrop of the Great Depres-

sion, they reaffirmed the American notion that merit, in the end, outweighs birthright. They reminded the country of what can be done when everyone quite literally pulls together. And they provided hope that in the titanic struggle that lay just ahead, the ruthless might of the Nazis would not prevail over American grit, determination and optimism. The book’s author, Daniel James Brown of Seattle, will speak about his New York Times bestseller at 7 p.m. Oct. 4 at the Washington Center for the Performing Arts, located at 512 Washington St. S.E. in Olympia. Brown will discuss his writing process and the research he conducted, read excerpts from the book and field audience questions. Copies of the book will be available for purchase and signing.

Though most associate headliner Jimmy Thackery with his 15 years as the co-founder of the Nighthawks, he ended his time with them in 1987. Since then, Thackery has been on the road as a solo musician for 15 years, proving each night that he is still a guitar powerhouse in the blues.

You may think of the town of Ilwaco as a sleepy place where fishing is the only excitement. Not true. Once a year the joint jumps with Blues and Seafood, a music festival with top blues acts showing up at the Port for a rockin’ good time. The event takes place this Friday and Saturday from 3:30 to 10 p.m., and it’s bigger than ever. Even the local arts community is jumping on board. The presence of some first-rate performers is what sets Blues and Seafood apart. This year the headliner is Jimmy Thackery, co-founder of the Nighthawks, who closes things out Saturday night with a set that doubles as an album release event. Thackery is one of the few modern performers to have studied with masters of the genre, including Muddy Waters. He’s spent his life on the road, playing hundreds of gigs a year, and all that experience is distilled into heavy riffs and near-impossible guitar dynamics. “I put all my senses on hold,” he says, “and find the zone and follow what’s inside. There’s an electricity from your mind to your heart to your fingers.” On Friday night harmonica and guitar duo Natty Bone lighten things up with some comedy, fol-

Then there’s the art, and that’s centered at ArtPort Gallery, located a stone’s throw from the stage at 177 Howerton Way S.E. To complement the Blues and Seafood festival, the artists represented in the gallery are putting on a show called “Blue on Blue” to celebrate the inﬂuence of the blues on art. In addition to the show there will

One of the ArtPort artists, Anna Lee Larimore, took the theme of the show literally, creating abstract paintings, “playing with different blues and the way colors play off against each other.” Another artist, Penny Treat, says, “I’m keeping blue in mind, whether I’m doing oils, watercol-

14 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review

Looking for comfortable, Americanized Mexican food? Search no more. Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

ne of 18 restaurants dotting mostly northern Oregon and southern Washington, El Tapatio is part of a chain. But the Astoria outpost is modeled after something far more prevalent: the simplified, streamlined, Americanized Mexican restaurant. You know the place: a menu that’s pages long, full of pictures and enough dishes to make your head spin. (Don’t worry: They’re all quite similar.) Tapatio too has the neon Corona signs, the painted bricks, the pastel Southwestern palate, the bowl-sized Margarita glasses, combo menus and so on. It’s the kind of place that, rather than street-style, serves tacos in hard shells and eschews delicacies like cow tongue. Even if you’ve never been, your first visit to Tapatio will feel awfully familiar. And there’s nothing ostensibly wrong with that. Familiarity is why chains proliferate. And hey, sometimes a big ol’ plate of rice and beans, some grilled meat, free chips and salsa plus a sloshing margarita can really hit the spot. Rather than “authentic,” as it’s touted, I equate Tapatio to comfort food. It’s easy, heavy and known. Tapatio’s home, a second floor overlooking the buzzing Marine Drive in Uniontown, is a fine perch. Stare out the windows at the cars whizzing below, dip another chip, sip from that big, billowing glass, and wonder: Where is everyone going in such a hurry? As do all trips to Tapatio, mine began with the prompt delivery of free, warm corn chips and watery salsa. I added a Grande Margarita ($8.95), only to later discover they’re all “grande.” The limey, orangey, synthetic fruit mix was matched with reasonable potency. I scoured the menu in search of specialties. When I asked servers

of their favorites the answers were less than inspired: “The burritos are really good, and the enchiladas too.” I pressed: “If you were going to eat here, is that what you’d have?” “Uhm, yeah,” they said. And while I’d eventually get to the burrito, I was stuck on finding a flagship. I settled on the Pescado Frito ($17.95), a whole tilapia, fried with the skin on, head and all. When it arrived I perked up. “That’s lovely,” I blathered. Like a colorful clock, the fish was ringed by dots of avocado, cucumber and orange slices. The oranges, I thought, were odd — perhaps form over function. When I squeezed them onto the fish the juice seemed to all but evaporate. Lemon should’ve been the thing. With lightly crisped skin, the fish itself was rather dry. Its life seemed far off, either frozen for ages, overcooked or both. As I dug the white flecks out from between the hundreds of tiny bones I wondered: How could such a small creature have so many bones? As opposed to outright flavor, the Pescado Frito was far more successful as experience — both aesthetic and biology lesson. In terms of simple execution, I preferred the Carne Asada ($13.95). On a platter with refried beans, Spanish rice and wilted green onion shoots, the beef was juicy, charred, peppered and quite salty. It was thin, but not too thin. And, compared to the tilapia, it played better with the accompanying beans, rice and tortillas. On my second trip I had the Camarones Monterey ($13.95), aka bacon-wrapped shrimp.

Above: Though impressive looking, the Pescado Frito was rather dry and suffered from many fish bones. Left: Astoria’s El Tapatio serves comfortable, Americanized Mexican food.

Equal parts fatty and lean, crisp and softly fibrous, the tightly wound, cheese-covered pairs were enjoyable — indeed, it’s hard to go wrong with bacon-wrapped shrimp. They could’ve been bigger, moister, spiced, more carefully prepared. But they worked. By this time everything at Tapatio was becoming rather same-y —

refried beans, a little bit of cheese melted on top, barely-seasoned red rice, plus a dollop of sour cream here, guacamole there, perhaps a sprinkling of clumpy pico de gallo, a pinch of lettuce and choice of meat. Of the nearly 100 menu items, the lion’s share could be distilled to a handful: animal protein and, perhaps, sauce.

I tried the Fajita Burrito ($12.95) too. It was enormous and by the numbers — another dish at Tapatio in search of specific identity. Or, maybe just the same, its identity is to have none in particular. As with comfort food, surprise is generally unwelcome. Somewhere along the way, seeking a shot in the arm, I asked if there were any special house hot sauces. A server came back with a bowl of habanero paste. “Be careful,” he said. “Very, very hot.” He needn’t have been so concerned. In the smoky, peppery, burnt orange blend, the habenero’s flame had been tamped out. My cheeks remained dry, my tongue at leisure. The deep-fried jalapeño I’d chomped on earlier marshaled many more scoval units. Each time while leaving Tapatio I remember feeling very little. Like the hot sauce, it didn’t knock my socks off — I’d wanted to go all the way. But then, what chains do?

Get the buzz on bees with Julie Trail’s End Art Association Tennis at the Seaside library president to show photography SEASIDE — At 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, Washington naturalist and beekeeper extraordinaire Julie Tennis will be buzzing in to the Seaside Public Library to speak about “What Beekeepers Do.” The event is sponsored by the Friends of the Seaside Library. The art of beekeeping and honey production has been around for thousands of years as evidenced by rock paintings reckoned to be older than 10,000 years B.C. Tennis’s interest started much later when in 2005 she found out she was allergic to sugar and began substituting honey in recipes. She discovered there was a heritage of beekeeping in her family: Not only did her father keep bees, but her grandfather had kept bees out at the family homestead in Arlington, Washington. Her father gave her a hive to manage, along with her grandfather’s smoker and bee hood. That hive soon split into two, and by 2011 she had built her apiary to 10 hives. Through study and partic-

Julie Tennis of Naselle, Washington, will talk about beekeeping Sept. 24 at the Seaside Public Library.

ipating in workshops about native bees, Tennis’s appreciation for the contribution bees make to life on earth has led to a love affair with their perseverance, self-reliance and determination. Traditionally beekeeping was carried out for honey products, but today other aspects of natural bee services are utilized, such as

all important crop pollination. Other hive products are pollen, royal jelly, propolis and bee venom, which is an effective treatment for rheumatic fever. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more information, call 503-738-6742 or visit www.seasidelibrary. org

GEARHART — This October, Trail’s End Art Association will feature the photography of its president, Richard Newman. His show “Photography on Metal” will include his most recent works printed on aluminum. The opening reception will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Oct. 1 as part of the Gearhart ArtWalk. The show will run through the month of October. The public is welcome to browse the gallery, located at 656 A St., featuring oil paintings, watercolors, acrylics, photography, collage and cards by association members. Newman will be present and available to answer questions about his work at the reception. For more information about the organization, visit www. trailsendart.org Newman grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and now lives in Beaverton and Gearhart. As a boy, he loved the photographs in Life magazine. The photos from around the world showed both the beauty of landscape as well as the reality of life in many different locations. The one person Newman admired the most was Ansel Adams who exclusively worked in black and white and took scenic photographs of the western U.S. In high school and college Newman was a photographer for his newspaper and year book. In his senior year of high school he was the assistant photographer for the city of Cleveland and learned the fine art of photography and darkroom applications. After graduating from college, he entered the business world in fabric and design as a store man-

ager, consultant and sales manager. His love of photography never faded, and when the digital age of photography started, he traded in his old 35mm camera. He currently uses a Nikon 810 with various lenses to capture his

photographs and Apple computer to catalog and artfully compose them. Newman’s photography focuses on landscape, nature, sports and historical objects. He prints photos on various media, including aluminum, glass and wood. “Photography is not a job for me, it is a passion for capturing memories,” he says. “What I try to do is capture the images in an artistic way by composition or by enhancing them on the computer to offer a new perspective. Photography has moved from just taking the family pictures to that of an art form using a camera and a lens like an artist uses a pallet and brush. It is the individual who has the eye to compose the art work so others may enjoy their efforts.” Newman has been to Europe 10 times and visited 29 countries. He also travels the entire western United States. His travels bring him to new places and allow him to explore the outdoors and nature while also capturing landscapes, icons and things of beauty with his camera. Once photographed, all of his finishing work is done on his computer at his home in Beaverton. Newman’s photograph of a Douglas DC-3 fixed-wing propeller-driven airliner on aluminum received first place in the Trail’s End Art Association’s annual judged show in 2016. His photographs are hung in various coffee shops in Beaverton, and he has developed his own website at window-to-the-world-photography.com. His photographs of the Bridge of Sighs and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in black and white were sold to ABC television and used on the TV show “Criminal Minds.”

Sign up for Zentangle workshop ASTORIA — Sandi Kelley will teach four Zentangle workshops this fall at the Astoria Art Loft, located at 106 Third St. The workshops will take place from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29, Oct. 6, 13 and 20. Zentangle is said to be the yoga of the mind. The calming effect of the repetitive patterns, the almost immediate artistic creations, and the companionship of fellow zentanglists results in pleasant hours.

Kelley, a certified Zentangle teacher, is a consummate instructor who encourages each artist in her classes. Zentangle was created when Buddhist monk Rick Roberts and calligrapher Maria Thomas became romantically involved. The monk noticed that his calligrapher partner became totally engrossed in her illuminated manuscripts and was completely relaxed. She seemed to be meditating while creating. The two talked about the experience and

decided that if they could teach basic repeating strokes within a confined area, others could have a similar, meditative experience. And so, Zentangle was born. The principles of elegant simplicity, quality materials, and open sharing mark this art. For more information about the Zentangle workshops and how to sign up, call the Astoria Art Loft at 503-325-4442 or e-mail astoriaartloft@gmail. com

Learn how to forage for wild mushrooms, like these twin king boletes, with Fort Stevens State Park rangers this fall.

Wild mushroom hikes, programs set at Fort Stevens WARRENTON — There is an amazing variety of fungi that thrive in Oregon. But how do you identify them? And how do you go about looking for them? This fall, Fort Stevens State Park rangers will hold guided mushroom hikes as well as put on informational programs about wild mushrooms. Both the hikes and programs are fee and open to the public. The hikes will focus on the varieties of wild mushroom that grow in the area. Participants should plan on wearing weather-appropriate clothing and should bring a basket, pocket knife and mushroom identification book if they have them. Hikers are also encouraged to bring in mushrooms for identification. The hikes will begin at Battery Russell and will be around 1 mile long, round trip. There is no registration or fee for the hikes. The hikes will be offered at 1 p.m. on the following dates: on Friday, Sept. 23,

30, Oct. 7, 14 and Nov. 11 and on Wednesday, Nov. 23 and 30. The wild mushroom programs will cover the regulations, uses and identification of wild mushrooms in Oregon as well as the role they play in the health of the forest. Following each program there will be a short hike around the park to look for and identify mushrooms. The programs at Fort Stevens State Park will be held at the picnic shelter at Coffenbury Lake. There is no registration or fee for the programs, but there is a $5 day-use parking fee at the lake. The programs will be offered at 1 p.m. on the following dates: Saturday, Oct. 1, 8, 15, Nov. 12 and 26. For more information about the wild mushroom hikes or programs, contact Fort Stevens State Park Ranger Dane Osis by calling 503-861-3170, ex. 41 or emailing dane.osis@oregon. gov

ASTORIA — While there is much debate over how humans should eat for maximum health, vegetables are universally accepted in most diets. Fresh, seasonal local vegetables will be the centerpiece of a Farm to Fork Dinner put on this fall by Astoria Co-op Grocery and Columbia Memorial Hospital. Tickets are on sale now for the dinner, which will take place at 6 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Columbia Center Coho Room, located at 2021 Marine Drive. Chef Marco Davis will source from local farms and create a menu based on the freshest food available. Davis has cooked several of these dinners, but this is the first time the meal will be vegetarian. “I thought it would be a great way to share in the fall bounty and to show how filling a vegetarian meal can

be,” Davis said. The dinner will provide education about healthy

cooking and where to get local food. Davis will cook the dinner in a demonstration

kitchen so guests can learn how each course is prepared. Farmers will be at the event to talk about growing the food. “Helping connect our community to the people who grow their food is what it’s all about,” Astoria Coop General Manager Matt Stanley said. Astoria Co-op and CMH have partnered to put on several of farm to fork events. As a Planetree-designated hospital, CMH recognizes the nurturing aspect of food as a component of care and community health. The coop is a community-owned grocery store providing natural, organic and local food. Proceeds benefit North Coast Food Web’s Project Fruit Box, which provides organic fruit to local schools. Tickets are $40 each and include a four-course dinner and wine. Tickets are available at www.fallfarmtofork. eventbrite.com

Art & Antique Walk showcases the beauty of fall Be on the lookout for a Bigfooted creature Sept. 24 OCEAN PARK, Wash. — Late September brings a visual change to the Long Beach Peninsula. Golds and reds make an appearance in the landscape, the breeze picks up speed carrying scents of ocean and loam, and thoughts turn to upcoming holidays, family and friends — and Bigfoot? Ocean Park Art and Antiques invites you to discover surprises galore at its upcoming Art & Antique Walk. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 24, seven locations in downtown Ocean Park and just a short

jog away will be awaiting visitors. Art galleries, private studios, an antique mall, and a barn or two are ready to delight. Demonstrations and hands-on “make and take” options are featured at several stops, and it has been noticed, more than once, that a very large furry creature has been lingering around the antique mall — he seems to be fond of getting his picture taken too.

6. The gallery reception and exhibit are free and open to the public. In conjunction with this exhibit, Viola-Preciado will conduct a workshop entitled “Small is Big! Rethinking the Expected Format of Abstract Painting.” In this workshop, participants will explore how to create individual small paintings that can be shown alone, in groupings, or as a starting point for larger work. In this productive, hands-on session, participants will practice letting go of expectations in order to focus on process and to capture an energetic moment within a small space. The workshop will be held 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Oct. 7, with a onehour lunch break and will take place in the Drawing/ Painting Studio, Room 112 of the CCC Art Center. This workshop is free to CCC students enrolled in fall term art classes and open to the general public

laude, from the Hartford Art School after studying at The Oregon College of Art and Craft and Anderson Ranch, earning merit scholarships and awards from both colleges. Viola-Preciado actively exhibits her work and is represented in collections on both the East and West Coasts. Viola-Preciado’s work emerges as she investigates our “awkward place in the world” through the process of applying and removing paint and juxtaposing large brushstrokes and pours with scribbles and outlines. Searching for what she describes as “ the tension between beauty and inelegance,” Viola-Preciado’s work offers more questions than answers and invites viewers to draw their own conclusions. In addition to her paintings, Viola-Preciado will also be exhibiting monotypes, a printmaking technique that lends itself to uninhibited painterly intensity and spontaneous brushwork. The CCC Royal Nebeker Art Gallery is located at 1799 Lexington Ave. and is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and on weekends and holidays by appointment.

Fall ref lections

PHOTO BY LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS

Fall arrives to Willapa Bay, near Oysterville, Washington.

The autumnal equinox’s perfect point of stasis takes place Thursday, Sept. 22 By LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS

Spring is “in the air” for weeks with subtle signals, summer hangs in one long arc of leisure, and winter, when it comes, sneaks in with a slow but deepening chill. Unlike its seasonal counterparts however, fall seems always to arrive with a kind of suddenness — one day you’re basking in the full rays of summer,

and the next, as if by the throwing of some celestial switch, autumn has arrived. Technically, fall begins for us this year at precisely 7:23 a.m. Thursday, Sept. 22, the exact moment that the plane of Earth’s equator will appear to pass directly through the sun. This astronomical event, called an equinox, happens twice each year — in spring and fall — marking the days on which our

entire planet experiences a nearly equal measure of day and night. Essentially a point of stasis on the great swing of the seasonal pendulum, an equinox is an occasion of perfect balance — the slack tide of time, if you will, when everything stands motionless, just before a directional shift. At the vernal equinox, that shift is toward the lengthening of days, but for the autum-

nal equinox, currently our chief concern, the only way forward is with a mad descent toward darkness. Take heart: There’s plenty of time between now and then; time, still, for fall to tap you swiftly on the shoulder, announcing itself with a special crispness to the morning air. Or perhaps it will find you in the garden, knee deep in what the pagans called the “second harvest,” a sacred time that

THIS YEAR, AS THE SHADOWS START TO LENGTHEN, AS THE FRUITS OF SUMMER’S LABOR BEG TO FILL YOUR BASKET, HOW WILL YOU PARTAKE IN THESE DAYS OF EQUAL MEASURE?

they commemorated during the festival of Mabon. A celebration of the equinox, Mabon was a time to honor the changing of the seasons — to give thanks for the sunlight that had nourished a bountiful crop, and to recognize and respect the coming darkness — in every way a happy nod to natural balance. This year, as the shadows start to lengthen, as the fruits of summer’s labor beg to ﬁll your basket, how will you partake in these days of equal measure? Will you be like the woodland squirrel, his every waking moment consumed with preparation for the coming winter?

Or more like the patient, swollen spider, who spins a single web and is content to wait for what fate brings her? All things being equal, perhaps the best choice is to be like the salmon, who, having feasted beyond the river’s mouth throughout the long, lazy days of summer, senses at last a freshness to the falling rain. Taking this timeless cue, and without a backward glance, it makes the final turn toward home, filled with an ancient, instinctive wisdom: Our brightest days may already be behind us, but the deep, rich purpose of the season is yet to be.
