Eric John Kaiser interprets Americana through French lens LONG BEACH, WASH. — If you can imagine Americana interpreted through a French lens, then you can see (or more precisely hear) what French-American songwriter Eric John Kaiser brings to the table. Kaiser will perform at the Peninsula Arts Center at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 5. Kaiser may be known as the French troubadour, but there is so much more to this talented artist. While his French roots may make him seem exotic, those in the know realize that’s just the beginning of his story. After doing over 350 concerts in France, Kaiser, a Paris native, moved to Portland in 2006 following a girl he fell in love with. Since then he has logged close to 10,000 miles each year via air, land and sea. Exploring North America on multiple lengthy tours, he has gigged his way up through Canada and down through the South as far as New Orleans and Washington, D.C., where he performed as an artist-in-residence for the Smithsonian Museum. Sometimes driving his trusty Subaru under the wide Montana sky, sometimes riding the subway under New York City, his music has logged many miles and accents from across the Amer-

ican landscape. His latest songs resonate now with a very American rhythm, like bouncing across the vast plains on horseback: some western lap steel guitar, some dirty roadhouse blues.

Kaiser has released four full-length albums and played the Deyoung Museum in San Francisco, the Blue Nile in New Orleans, the Solidays festival in Paris, and shared the stage with the Welsh super stars the Stereophonics, toured with French star Tété (who has also appeared as a featuring artist on his album “French Troubadour”) and the French band Revolver. The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Pacific Ave. Admission is $12 and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Reservations can be made at www.peninsulaartscenter. org or by calling 360-9010962.

Fall term — for adult education Sharpen those pencils and grab some new knowledge

Autumn is in the air — even if it’s not in the weather report. In stores and on the streets, books and backpacks are making their annual appearance: It’s time to go back to school. For tots and teens, it’s business as usual. But on the North Coast, opportunities to exercise the gray matter also abound for adults. At Clatsop Community College there are workforce training courses; community education courses; ENCORE classes designed specifically for retired adults age 50 and older; GED programs; and English as a Second Language (ESL) classes. There are credit and noncredit courses, daytime classes and evening ones, too.

up of people retraining for new opportunities in the work force.”

Earn your GED and learn English skills

‘People have to know that education is the only thing that is lasting. It’s not a new car or a new house. Education is something that you keep forever.’

MERTS teaches skills

At CCC’s Marine and Environmental Research and Training Station (MERTS) campus, located three miles east of Astoria on U.S. Highway 30, Dean Kristen Wilken has been at the helm for seven years and involved with the college for 17. “We have a large chunk of adult students,” Wilken said. “Some are non-degree, some transitioning from non-degree to a two-year degree. Some want just to learn additional skills, like welding. “Others want a life change. We have a lot of adult workers who come to class on weekends, wanting to better skills they’re already involved with. Chris Gustafson, from this area, has a historic preservation contracting company in Albany. He has our students intern with him. “We have maritime students, some of them seeking a two-year degree,” Wilken continued. “And hundreds, and I mean hundreds, are industry driven here in the 3aci¿c Northwest. We get students from all

The Adult Basic Skills Department on CCC’s main campus operates the GED program and ESL classes in Astoria, Seaside, Clatskanie and Cannon Beach. Coordinated by Eileen “Percy” Purcell, day and evening schedules are available. The programs provide an opportunity for students and volunteer tutors (with training available) to engage in what Purcell calls “social capital.” “ESL offers a win-win for both students and tutors, each becoming more connected with the community, developing a peer relationship,” Purcell said. “We have students from China, Korea, Mexico, the Philippines, Portugal, and last year a retired nurse from Thailand who wanted to learn English. We have students at all levels, some speaking little or no English. Others are transitioning from basic to advanced English.” Gudelia Contreras knows ¿rst-hand what education means. She went to school; she left school. She worked at minimum wage jobs with no future. After meeting Purcell, Contreras, in her 40s, made the decision to go back to school, and she earned her GED in 2012. She is now an outreach enrollment specialist at the Lower Columbia Hispanic Council in Astoria. She’s taking one or two CCC college classes per semester, with an end goal of earning a college degree and becoming a diagnostic imaging technician. She also volunteers her time as a tutor. “People have to know that education is the

only thing that is lasting,” Contreras said. “It’s not a new car or a new house. Education is something that you keep forever.” George Heiner, whom Eileen Purcell refers to as “the best GED instructor in the world,” has been helping students with CCC’s General Education Development (the trademarked acronym GED) program since 1985. A state-administered test requires passing four areas of study: math, reasoning through language arts, science and social studies. It’s similar to earning a high school diploma. And either a high school diploma or a GED is required for admission to college. Anyone 16 years and older is eligible for the GED program. “We had one guy who was 50-something and a successful business man. Completing his GED was what he wanted to achieve, and he did,” Heiner said. “We’ll have students who disappear for two or three years and then return. Sometimes life gets in the way.” “Our budget comes through generous grants from sources like the Autzen Foundation, the Clatsop College Foundation, and Rotary in Seaside, and public transportation, which in the past has provided bus fares,” added Purcell. “If a student wants to be a part of either program, we take care of any fees. Success comes when it’s nobody but the involved student who wants to succeed. It’s the key to success.” At CCC, there are classes for adults in art, computer skills, ¿tness, gardening, welding — and that’s just for starters. Other area programs offer everything from art to Zen meditation. There are lists of what is where and when on websites and in local newspapers.

ulations, and bridge management. The campus also teaches skills needed on the river, cruise ships and tankers. “We run MERTS as a kind of one-stop shop, tending to tie programs together,” Wilken said. “For example, automotive ties into computers; maritime ties into welding. And many of our programs are open-ended. That means if you’re working in an industry, you can be gone for two weeks and come back. Depending on the program, about 35 percent of our student body is made

A love of community Coast Community Radio News Director Kathleen Morgain has come full circle in her career

â&#x20AC;&#x153;

â&#x20AC;&#x153;KMUN is my hands-down favorite station Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever worked for.â&#x20AC;? So says Kathleen Morgain, who has worked in broadcasting in Idaho and Washington as well as Oregon. But it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the Coast Community Radio station that brought her and her husband, Stevan, to the area. It was a house in Skamokawa, Washington. In the late 1990s, the couple had been making road trips around Washington for several years, looking for a house they could turn into a bed and breakfast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a wonderful time,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went on so many back roads.â&#x20AC;? Eventually they saw an ad for a house on a creek with a dock, in Skamokawa. Morgain recalls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was the right vintage. We were looking for something from the late 1800s.â&#x20AC;? In fact, the house faced the creek, not the road, because when the house was built there was no road. Boats offered transportation, and the creek was the highway. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had a lot of potential,â&#x20AC;? says Morgain, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and Skamokawa Creek was deep enough that a boat could be out to the Columbia in minutes. That was important to Stevan.â&#x20AC;? The property had other advantages as well. They were looking for something rural (and Skamokawa is certainly that), and there was ample parking, a problem with many potential B&Bs. The Morgains bought the house in 1999, and when the matching farmhouse next door became available in 2002, they bought that, too. For seven years they worked to rehabilitate the two houses, bringing them up to code and meeting health department requirements. Finally they were able to open their Twin Gables Bed and Breakfast. It was more than bucolic beauty that the Morgains found in Skamokawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The best part is the people,â&#x20AC;? says Morgain. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are the real gem. There is a spirit of community throughout the lower Columbia region. People look out for each other in a way this is not possible in a big city.â&#x20AC;? The couple moved to Skamokawa and began work, and as they did so they listened to a small radio station in Astoria. Morgain remembers turning on the radio and hearing the 8 p.m. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bedtime Storiesâ&#x20AC;? pro-

JUDP IRU WKH Âż UVW WLPH Âł,W ZDV GHOLJKWIXO Â´ VKH says of that moment, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I thought, this is wonderful.â&#x20AC;? And she loved the fact that even though the station was distant, it carried news about Skamokawa. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was community that brought me to KMUN,â&#x20AC;? Morgain says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s utterly charming and a delight to listen to. There are program hosts from all walks of life, and a community calendar that tells you whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in the area. In emergencies, everyone pitches in. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a wealth of talent.â&#x20AC;? %RUQ LQ 6HDWWOH 0RUJDLQ KDG KHU Âż UVW MRE LQ broadcasting while attending the University of Washington. She answered phones and opened the mail at KCTS, a public television station in her hometown. +HU ODWHU MREV ZLWK RWKHU VWD tions were primarily behind the scenes as a technician. She occasionally did commercial announcements and voice overs, and for a while she produced a weekly magazine show for KBOO in Portland. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I came to KMUN I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a reel,â&#x20AC;? she says, but they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to train her on the technical side, either. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They hired me straightaway to do the news.â&#x20AC;? She also produced the news. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s similar to a TV newscast. The network has a standard format with local breaks, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a matter of assembling program material into pre-programmed slots. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about managing content and time, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real art to it.â&#x20AC;? Twin Gables is a success, which means that Morgain is no longer on the air. She is behind the scenes again, now working as the news director, because the time required to SURGXFH D VKRZ LV PRUH Ă&#x20AC; H[LEOH WKDQ KDY ing to be on the microphone every morning to deliver the news. Her broadcasting career has come full circle, returning her to the technical side of radio, but there is a difference.

As co-owners of a B&B, she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing something we UHDOO\ HQMR\ Â´ And doing it in the midst of a community they love.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;There is a spirit of community throughout the lower Columbia region. People look out for each other in a way this is not possible in a big city.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Trails & tails: Hiking with an Oregon Coast dog

Story by DAN HAAG

Oregon Coast dogs are the most spoiled in America. And why wouldn’t they be? Look at the variety of places they get to choose from on any given day, rain or shine. Dogs can be found at beaches, parks and riding in every kind of car. Judging by the wagging tails and lolling tongues, you don’t need Ceser Millan to tell you the Oregon Coast makes dogs happy. It’s a place that gives dogs what they need. Beaches are great for dragging around huge sticks; rivers are nice for cooling off; the porch at the Rogue Ales Public House is a perfect place to be admired and petted by passersby. For my enthusiastic black Labrador, Lilo, a hiking trail is the best place to spend any Oregon Coast day. Tuesday marks the start of my “weekend,” and for Lilo, Tuesdays have become a sacred day. Tuesdays are trail days. After introducing her to my love affair with the trails at Oswald West State Park, seeing her anticipate Tuesdays is a joy to behold.

Getting ready

Tuesday morning starts with a heavy paw to the back of my head at about 5:30 a.m. I mumble grumpily, which only makes Lilo thump her tail loudly against the dresser. It’s her drum beat, her call to action. “Get up, get up, get up,” goes the tail. Eventually I do, and I stumble to the coffee-maker while Lilo herds me nervously, doing her best to make sure I get where she needs me to go, namely her dog cabinet. Within lies her Holy Grail, her trail bag. Actually, it’s just a beat-up old backpack with a rumpled “Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House” sticker slapped on it, but to her, it means we’re going outside and we’re not coming back for awhile. Trail day is an all-day event, and Lilo and I prepare accordingly. According to a CBS News report, Americans spent around $50 billion on dogs in 2014. While I certainly don’t think Lilo’s hike is ru-

ined without a designer poncho or moleskin booties, there are a few things I bring along for her comfort and safety. And my peace of mind.

Leashes and collars

A sturdy leash and collar is a must yearround — maybe not so much during very early mornings on the beach or down a back road, but de¿nitely at state parks like Oswald West. The Oregon State Parks website displays the rules regarding pets and leashes: “Pets must be on a leash not more than six feet long, and kept under physical control at all times.” I’ll admit I have had Lilo off-leash while hiking at state parks and have been kindly but firmly reminded by park rangers to keep her on leash. I enjoy letting Lilo roam free, but I understand the reasoning. Dog owners, myself included, fervently believe that their dog is the best, most well-behaved dog in the solar system. That is not always the case, and dogs can get excited or agitated around other dogs and people. Also, believe or not, not every hiker likes dogs or appreciates being sniffed indelicately. Leashes provide a gesture of courtesy and goodwill to other hikers. At the very least,

dogs should always be under voice command. Size can be intimidating, and Lilo is a big dog, tipping the scales at just over 100 pounds. Despite her bright pink collar, she has been mistaken for a small black bear from a distance. It also provides a measure of safety for dogs who tend to follow their noses up to steep drop-offs, feel the need to chase a rogue squirrel, or want to eat something that couldn’t be identi¿ed by a state-of-the-art crime lab. Remember some sort of identi¿cation for your dog like a tag attached to the collar. Lilo’s includes my name, address, and phone number and is reÀective. I’ve come across too many frantic dog owners on a trail whose dog bolted and wasn’t wearing any ID. A state park you are visiting for the ¿rst time on vacation is an intimidating place to search for your dog.

Water/water dish

I’ve read you need to carry a quart of water for your dog for every 3 miles you plan to hike. I paid more attention to that detail after several hikes with my previous dog, Kirby, who preferred to lap run-off water or out of creeks.

Nothing teaches you to appreciate clean, drinkable water more than cleaning up after a dog who’s become sick drinking from a trail side stream. Now, I bring plenty of clean water. State parks usually have facilities where you can ¿ll up on water. Oswald West, for example, has water in the main parking lot. If you hike to a more remote location like Cape Falcon — Lilo’s favorite — there are no facilities. A container for your dog to drink from is essential. I bought a bottle that has a fold out “trough” for water, but it was likely made for gerbils, not dogs. Lilo laps at it so enthusiastically, she resembles a lawn sprinkler. Nothing gets in her mouth, just mainly her face and my boots. I also tried getting her to drink from a Frisbee, but she was confused by my attempts to make it something other than a toy. I settled on a collapsible dish that I got as part of a dog “welcome package” when we stayed at a coastal hotel (did I mention Oregon dogs are spoiled? It’s ultra light and folds Àat in a backpack.

Picking up

There’s no way to put this gently: You need to pick up after your dog does his or her business. I am a late convert to this campaign, but am now fully on board. As with using a leash, cleaning up after your dog is a courtesy to other trail users. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had a good day on a trail marred by climbing into my truck and ¿nding something other than mud stuck to my soles. State parks often provide sturdy bags for hikers to use to pick up after their dogs. The task de¿nitely takes some getting used to, but if I can leap that hurdle, anyone can. Trust me, park rangers will love you for it. Take a couple of extra bags and stuff them in your pack for trail emergencies. If nothing else, you’ll have them ready to go for your next hike.

One more thing: Picking it up is only half the battle. Bagging the waste and leaving it by the side of the trail is not “mission complete.” As with anything when it comes to the rules of the trail, if you pack it in, pack it out.

Extras

Since my Boy Scout days, my pack has included a tiny ¿rst aid kit with things like gauze, scissors, tweezers and tape. It now doubles for dog-duty. The most serious dog injury I’ve ever faced on a trail was scraped foot pads or noses, but I err on the side of caution. Something to snack on for Lilo is always in the bag, maybe a scoop of dog food or a couple of biscuits. This is partially because we often are out until after her dinner time, but mostly because she likes a reward for getting where we’re going. And who doesn’t? Don’t forget a camera just in case some spontaneous doggie cuteness ensues.

Drinking water for both you and your dog is important to have on a hike. Oswald West State Park has drinking water in the main parking lot available for hikers.

Three great hikes to take with your dog

Sharing the trail

Many people just want a quiet, leisurely hike where they can take pictures, watch birds, or soak in the sun. Some of them just don’t like dogs. For me, Lilo is a part of my leisurely hike. I couldn’t imagine taking a trail without her. But I try to be sensitive enough not to impose her on everyone I meet. When I see people coming along the trail, I can usually tell by their body language if they enjoy dogs. If they break out in smiles and continue briskly towards us, Lilo’s ears are probably in for a good scratching. Many a pleasant trail conversation has ensued thanks to Lilo. If hikers slow, scowl, or stop, they want no part of a dog. An REI-bedecked couple recently told me dogs had no place on trails and they always left theirs at home. I can’t imagine a crueler punishment. Regardless, I stop and pull to the side of the trail, making Lilo sit. The other hikers can then come to me or pass on by. I like to think the gesture comes off as polite and non-threatening and lets people not used to dogs see them in a new light. It also allows Lilo a chance to loudly snufÀe ferns and moss.

Cape Falcon Trail: A 2.5-mile trail that begins at the northwest parking lot of Oswald West State Park, along U.S. Highway 101. A variety of terrain, beginning with a steady, moderate walk through lush forest along a well-marked trail. Trail forks to the north a half mile in. Trail can be muddy year-round due to dense overgrowth. There are steep drop-offs along trail closer to Cape Falcon, as well as some loose rock. Trail narrows considerably as it nears Cape Falcon. Water available in main parking lot and in day use area overlooking Short Sand Beach.

The healing hike

I adopted Lilo when she was 5, and hiking saved her life. She had been loved but was dangerously overweight. Her early years were spent indoors with an elderly, mostly sedentary couple. She had never run on a beach or up and down a switch back. She needed an exercise regimen, and her prescription was a life at the coast, with nearby miles of forested trails for her to explore and sniff with devout abandon. Hiking has kept Lilo ¿t and trim and ¿xed her face with a permanent doggie grin and for that, we both owe our trails a debt of gratitude. Tuesday can’t come fast enough.

Soapstone Lake Trail: This is a great quick jaunt in the woods with a variety of scenery. About a 1.5-mile hike each way, with moderate to easy terrain. Often not that busy as it can be difficult to find. There is an older forest, a meadow, a creek, a lush forest and a little lake at the end. Lake can be boggy, so not for swimming or drinking. Trail head located along Oregon Highway 53, about 4.5 miles south of milepost 10 on U.S. Highway 26.

A sturdy leash and collar is a must year-round for your dob. Oregon State Parks hiking trails require pets to be on a leash.

Vino Manzanita

Vino’s Smoked Salmon ($14) is served with crackers and vintage white cheddar.

More than a place to drink, Vino is a wine bar worthy of dinner

hen Dixie Lee bought Vino Manzanita some nine years ago, she was drawn more by quaint opportunity than infatuated with fermented grapes. “I read ‘Wine For Dummies’ three or four times,” Lee said, chuckling, of her pre-purchase baptism. But lest we paint her as some dilettante, know that Lee is approachable and unassuming, and her wine education has since come full circle. Vino offers a diverse, well-curated wine list that ought to please the most discerning wineo-phile. Don’t take my word for it ² I’m the ¿rst to admit wine is well outside my wheelhouse. So to imbibe Vino, I brought along an expert, a rep from a winery in the valley. I also consulted with a certi¿ed sommelier familiar with Vino and the wine lists of restaurants up and down the North &oast. Both answered with af¿rmative enthusiasm: While relatively concise, Vino’s selection includes styles and regions that should appease most any desire. It does so while taking the path less traveled — Lee sticks to burgeoning wineries. (It deserves mention that Vino’s by-theglass offerings are rather scant - ¿ve reds and three whites ‚ in comparison to bottles.) As my companion and I were feeling rather bubbly, we opted for a bottle of rosé, Olivier Marin’s Tentation ($38). With dry, pink effervesce in hand, we clanked Àutes and began to peruse the menu. It was, as one might expect, be¿tting of a wine bar: little bites of cheeses, charcuterie, olives and so on. Vino also offers a rotating entrée, and on this day there were two: a vegetarian lasagna and sausage-based meatloaf. We chose to share several plates, and our server asked if we’d like them in any particular order. We left it up to the kitchen. First came the Smoked Salmon ($14), served with crackers and vintage white cheddar. The strip of ¿sh delighted simply. It was succulent, naturally oily, and topped with a dash of pepper. Two diners next to us took notice. “We woofed it down,” the couple guffawed. “It didn’t need the cheese or crackers — just the salmon, it was so good!” And while I found no reason to be upset with the accoutrements, it’s true that a bit of our cheese and a few of the thin crackers went uneaten. Indeed, they were eclipsed by the salmon. The adjacent diners went a step further, giddily researching the provider, Seattle’s Gerard & Dominique Seafoods. And therein lies the heart of Vino: strong sourcing. As the kitchen is the size of a closet,

14 | September 3, 2015 | coastweekend.com

Lee and her staff are able to serve dishes only requiring a modicum of preparation. By and large, they must stand on the raw quality of the ingredients. But it isn’t just the kitchen that’s small. Vino is, to put it kindly, cozy. At times it can get downright cramped. There’s an L-shaped bar with six or seven seats, though it’s less than ideal for a full-on meal. Then there are a handful of tables, no more than ¿ve. In the summer, seating often spills outside, both in the front and back. And while with the right kind of weather the patio seating could be divine, it’s easy to imagine folks getting stuck out in the cold once the sun begins to dip. On this particular evening, Vino’s dining room was lively, though hardly livid. Between dishes, a string band began strumming in the corner. Though they cut further into everyone’s elbow room, the trade in ambiance was worth making — the three-piece was mellow enough to talk over but pro¿cient enough to steal your attention. Our second plate was Spanakopita ($6). The four, triangular, fully-enclosed pastries were light and Àaky, sealing in creamy spinach and feta, and served with plum preserve.

The four, triangular, fully-enclosed Spanakopita ($6) pastries were light and flaky, sealing in creamy spinach and feta, and served with plum preserve.

While applying the jam offered a more complex Àavor, I appreciated them equally without, and I admired the thinness of the crust, which kept the little puffs from becoming too dry. Our third plate was the Vegetarian Lasagna ($18), one of the entrées of the day. Again, we shared it. A bit of a short-stack, the baked lasagna was not an overwhelming portion, but its taste was stellar, smooth and bright. Really, there was no secret: It contained a bit of spinach, basil, green onion and bright tomato sauce. The cheese on top was lightly singed, a delicate crust and gooey inside. (As we later learned, the lasagna had been made at Elephant’s Delicatessen, a renown Portland eatery. By and

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com

large, half of Vino’s daily entrée specials are made in house, the others outsourced.) Of similar, striking freshness were the accompanying greens, grown at the nearby King Fisher Farm in Nehalem. It was as if they’d just been plucked from the ground. My companion and I marveled both at the main course and the side. Both avid carnivores, we found the vegetarian lasagna total, whole and realized — we were not left wanting for meat. And to that end, while it can be traditional European coursing to ¿nish with a cheese plate (which we had originally chosen) I became weary at the thought of it. I asked our server if we could amend our order and he warmly obliged. Dessert suddenly seemed more appropriate, and when I noticed Vino offered Buttercup ice cream from Nehalem, I was insistent. (I’ve written at length of Buttercup, see Mouth of the Columbia, May 28, 2015.) The last-minute substitution was an ideal cap. I left satis¿ed and satiated, yet lightness prevailed. Thanks are due in no small part to the rosé but to Vino’s rich, unpretentious setting as well. Indeed, it may be a wine bar ¿rst, but Vino too is a place worth having dinner.

HOURS: 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday to Saturday.

Vino Manzanita Rating: 387 Laneda Ave., Suite D, Manzanita 503-368-8466

PRICE: $$ – Small plates range from $6 to $18. SERVICE: Knowledgeable and unpretentious. VEGETARIAN / VEGAN OPTIONS: Not much here for vegans. Vegetarians will have to like cheese. DRINKS: Wine by the glass and bottle, beer.

Five Minutes With ... Eeva Lantela of DragonFire Gallery Q&A by Dani Palmer EO Media Group A milder climate, the beauty of the Oregon Coast and proximity to family members in Vancouver, British Columbia, drew DragonFire Gallery owner Eeva Lantela to Cannon Beach 14 years ago. With those, Lantela found fulfillment interacting with artists and customers at the South Hemlock Street gallery location. Lantela lost her partner, artist Mari Rockett, six years ago, but their mission continues as DragonFire heads into its 15th year. “We wanted a beautiful, artistic coastal town,” she said. “And I think we picked well.” How did you get started in the art community? My partner Mari and I relocated from New Jersey. When we moved here, we were looking to start some kind of business. We started out with paint-your-own pottery, and the upstairs in this building

carried some local art. But this is too small a town to sustain a paint-your-own pottery business. We found that out pretty quick. So over the years, we just kept expanding more into art. To what would you attribute DragonFire’s success and longevity? I think it’s having a very unique persona. We never went around looking at what other galleries were like. We just wanted to do what we thought was cool. So we developed this very colorful place. We wanted to have a lot of mixed-media. We wanted anyone to be able to afford to buy something. And we wanted it to be original art. Partly because we have a very strong identity. And partly because I have this saying, “Even if it’s a dark, miserable day out, you walk in here and

there’s so much color and brightness and people feel happy.” We’re not tough salespeople. I don’t want anyone buying anything they don’t want to buy. We’re totally unpretentious. We let people come in with their dogs and encourage people to get engaged. So I think it’s partly the welcoming, because we have really great artists and because we have an affordable price range. What does DragonFire have to offer? We have everything from garden art to large paintings. We have lighting, we have sculptures — there’s something for pretty much anybody. You’re not going to see what you just saw down the street. Probably the biggest thing we have to offer is that variety, that array of artwork. Explain how you work to support area causes through the gallery. I just don’t have the time or energy to volunteer. So we decided to create “Wild,” our own little area where

we sell books and cards and different things for animal organizations: Clatsop Animal Assistance, the Wildlife Center of the North Coast and the North Coast Land Conservancy. Last year we raised $7,600. Are all of the artists you work with from the Pacific Northwest? Ninety percent. There are artists from further away that we’ve somehow met that are doing things nobody else is doing. We like to have more of a direct relationship with the artists. I don’t want to just do things by mail. We really love when the artists come in. Many come to events even when they’re not featured. We’re like a family. What’s new right now in the gallery? I have some new artists who came in this year. I have some artists who have been with us since the first year of opening. Everybody is always creating new pieces of artwork. I have this really great fused-glass artist named Jenn Ferrante. She does this really unique type of art. Kaia Crowell does woven baskets. She’s the newest artist we’ve taken on. What sort of events do you hold over the year? Of course we do the Spring Unveiling Art Festival, which all the galleries do, the Plein Air and More, and the Stormy Weather Arts Festival. We used to do a Chinese New Year’s Celebra-

tion every President’s Day weekend, but we did not do it this year. I find that if you do too many special events, they start to be less special when you have them. I find that the most important thing is to always just be presenting the gallery the best that we can and the artists the best that we can rather than doing event after

event after event. Sometimes we do things spontaneously. We often have artists come do demonstrations because they want to come to town, and they want to interact with customers. Any big plans for DragonFire’s 15th anniversary? I don’t know yet. But I will do something. Fifteen is kind of a big number.

Seaside Public Library holds monthly trivia tournament SEASIDE — The Seaside Public Library will host its monthly Team Trivia Tournament at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 9. Teams can consist of one person or have as many as six people. Trivia nights are informal, fun competitions where teams battle to see who has the greatest knowledge of all matters trivial. General questions will be asked by the trivia host, and the winners are the team that, at the end of the night,

If you LOVE Cats, we Love YOU!

Not only do we LOVE YOU, we NEED YOU!

OUR CATS NEED YOU! We’re seeking volunteers to help care for and adopt out our cats. Volunteers will work either the morning or afternoon shift, one day a week. The morning shift involves cleaning cat cages and providing socialization (playing, petting) to the cats. Morning volunteers work in pairs. The cleaning takes approximately one and one half hour for two persons. Typically, volunteers begin cleaning around 9:00 am-9:30 am. The morning shift runs until 12:00 noon, if you stay to socialize the cats, and we encourage this. The afternoon shift runs from noon to 4:00 pm and you’ll be expected to be in the Cat Room those hours. The afternoon volunteers greet the public and help match potential adopters with the right cat. The afternoon shift also provides time for cat socialization.

Johnny Cash, June Carter tribute band to perform at Merry Time Bar & Grill ASTORIA — The Merry Time Bar & Grill announces the return of Counterfeit Cash, a Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash tribute band. The group will perform at 9:30 p.m. Friday, Sept. 4 at the bar; guests age 21 and over may enjoy the show by bringing a can of food or other non-perishable food item to donate to the Clatsop County Food Bank or pay a $5 entry fee. What began in 2004 as an acoustic duo performing Cash’s landmark 1994 album, “American Recordings,” has gradually developed into a rocking ensemble with a repertoire of more than 70 Cash and Carter classics — from ’50s hits like “Folsom Prison Blues” and “Cry Cry Cry,” to ’60s and ’70s favorites like “Ring of Fire” all the way to turn-of-the-century covers like “Hurt” and “Personal Jesus.” What sets Counterfeit Cash

apart from other Cash cover bands is the vivacious and talented Jen FitzPatrick, who brings a sweet, sassy swagger to Johnny-and-June duets, as well as June Carter tunes. The band features Danny Coble on Cash vocals and guitar; FitzPatrick on June vocals; Steven Bak on guitar and vocals; Robbie Scrivner on bass and vocals; and Dan Holmes on drums.

Counterfeit Cash has played bars, clubs, honkytonks, coffeehouses, festivals, car shows, weddings, house-parties, bene¿ts, and backyard barbecues throughout the region and made occasional forays as far as San Bernardino, California, Anchorage, Alaska, and Maui. Merry Time Bar & Grill owners Terry and Todd Robinett have been introducing a variety of live music to the venue since purchasing the business in 2014. In an effort to keep music accessible and affordable to all, they offer the option of donating a can of food for the local food bank as entry. Live music shows have raised nearly $1,000 and approximately 200 pounds in food for the local community. The Merry Time Bar & Grill is located at 995 Marine Drive. For more information, call 503-468-0852.

All new Cat Volunteers attend an Orientation Session which provides general information about the Shelter. Training on the Cat Room procedures, both morning cleaning and afternoon adoption, is provided by one of the Cat Volunteer Trainers. Our volunteers tell us they appreciate the opportunity to work at the Shelter, treasuring not only our cats and dogs, but the other people who volunteer as well as work for us. So if you don’t mind falling in love with a fabulous feline from time to time (actually, maybe, more like every other day!), come on board, you’ll have a life enhancing experience you may have not known existed, and a jolly good ride! 5 03-861-7 387 w w w .d ogsnca ts.org 1315 SE 19th St., W a rrenton

Luckily, he ¿QDOO\ IRXQG WKH WKLQJ WKDW EHDW out all the rest: his trusty gold accordion. Now he spends his days with his squeeze box howling away at the moon in delight, grateful to Royal Jelly Jive for taking this mad man in. Trumpter Danny Cao recalls singing along to recording of Chuck Berry’s “My DingA-Ling” as one of his earliest memories, setting the stage for an active early youth singing solos with the local church choir. He has vivid memories of the sounds, textures, arrangements, and album covers of Georges Moustaki and The Beatles, all part of his mother’s record collection. He picked up the trumpet at the age of 20. Drummer Felix Macnee doesn’t even remember being carried, at the tender age of two,

into a Chicago nightclub to hear Charles Mingus, but he does remember falling asleep inside his godfather’s bass drum, and feeling a great sense of mystery in the sound of a cymbal. He is writing a book about drumming entitled “Geometry in Time.” Tyden Binsted began playing upright bass at age 15, almost immediately after hearing Thelonious Monk’s composition “Off 0LQRU´ IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH $IWHU cutting his teeth with the arranger Ray Brown and the experimental jazz trio Medeski Martin & Wood, Binsted moved to San Francisco in 2009.

Building 1140 hosts four businesses: auto glass repair (Atlantis Auto Glass); bicycle repair (Bike Envy); growler fill-up/tap room (TAPS Drink N’ Fill); and a coffee shop/ breakfast lunch joint (The Coffee Addiction: Food N’ Espresso).

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Building 1140 If there is a better place than Building 1140 to burn an hour while waiting to have your truck’s front end realigned, then I’d like to visit it. Not too long ago, I dropped my truck off for service at the Les Schwab in Warrenton and walked across the street into one of the more interesting and diverse retail establishments I’ve ever encountered. The building hosts four businesses: auto glass repair (Atlantis Auto Glass); bicycle repair (Bike Envy); growler fill-up/tap room (TAPS Drink N’ Fill); and a coffee shop/breakfast lunch joint (The Coffee Addiction:

Food N’ Espresso). The building’s owner and proprietor of Atlantis Auto Glass is Don Bacon, and this being the coast with all its wonderfully eccentric and eclectic personalities, Don naturally plays drum for a sizzling surf rock trio called the Retroactive Gamma Rays. The Rays recently blew up the Olney Saloon to conclude one of my literary events, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I dig glass men who rock! Yes, at first it would seem like an unlikely combination of services, but 10 minutes inside, and Building 1140 felt like the most original coastal en-

trepreneurial idea I’ve witnessed in a long time. The convergence going on here is positively brilliant and, as Tracy Simpson, owner of Coffee Addiction and TAPS said, “I love being here.” How many of us can say the same about our workplaces? It works like this: Your windshield is chipped or your bicycle went down with a busted chain. Or you have to wait at Les Schwab, and I can’t stand waiting in waiting rooms of any kind. You’ve got time on your side as various repairs are being conducted, so you might as well have a coffee, beer or breakfast burrito and play with the sweet shop dog Kye, who lounges around the area and wants only to love and be loved. I truly enjoyed my hour inside Building 1140 — but something about the name disappointed me. It feels generic, nondescript, unworthy of the unique synergy of talents that make it all work. Look, I’m a writer and English teacher and traffic in words for a living and recreation. May I propose a new overarching name for the complex? Don’s Rest Stop. Because that’s what you do in there.

Netul >Q‫ ܭ‬tԥl@ noun 1. Former name of the Lewis and Clark River, which is a 20-mile-long tributary of the Columbia River that sources near Saddle Mountain and flows west to drain in Youngs Bay. Fort Clatsop was erected on its bank in December of 1805 2. Netul Landing: Originally the canoe landing for the Corps of Discovery, the spot has enjoyed many years as a mooring location for different purposes before becoming a part of Lewis and Clark National Historic Park in 2005. Now the site is developed and continues to be used as a canoe and kayak launch Origin: From the Clatsop dialect of the lower Chinookan language. The name Netul was adopted (and committed to spelling on Dec. 7, 1805) by the famed U.S. explorers for the river they paddled down to build their winter

Smith argues that, in Clatsop tradition, the name most likely referred to a place on the river, not the river itself, as the tribe did not name the actual rivers, but specific places on the shore. The river was officially renamed the Lewis and Clark River in 1925 to honor the explorers.

“The River on which Fort Clat Sop Stands we now call Netul, this being the name by which the Clatsops Call it.” —Meriwether Lewis, “Tuesday, Jan. 28, 1806,” The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, University of Nebraska Press, March 2005
