ASTORIA — Have you ever wondered how to tell the sex or age of a fish? At this month’s Science on Tap, the program will take a look at how scientists use a variety of instruments such as multibeam sonars to gather data.

The Columbia River Maritime Museum’s next Science on Tap program, “Counting Fish is Not Easy,” will address this topic. Patricia Burke, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, will give the audience an opportunity to understand how surveys and research are conducted at sea on large and smaller vessels and how this information is used in creating fishing regulations.

Burke joined NOAA Fisheries in 2008 as the program manager for the FRAM (Fishery Resource Analysis and Monitoring) Groundfish Monitoring Program. This program includes coastwide trawl and acoustics surveys, hook and line surveys,

ASTORIA — The annual CASA Celebration will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24, at The Loft at The Red Building, 20 Basin St. This is an evening of fine music, delicious food and a great silent auction to raise money for Clatsop CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates). This event is in appreciation and celebration of the courage and resilience of children, the commitment and dedication of CASA volunteers and Clatsop County’s remarkable judges, as well as a caring community.

Clatsop CASA has more than 40 volunteers serving approximately 100 child victims of abuse and neglect each year. Many children are waiting for a CASA volunteer who will advocate for them in court and help to have a safe, permanent home.

Tickets for the annual fundraiser are $30 and raffle tickets to win either an iPad 2 or Kindle Fire are $20. To purchase event and raffle tickets, contact Clatsop CASA at (503) 338-6063 or cheryl@clatsopcasa.org. Tickets will be available at the door on the night of the event.

Coastal Life The Tao of steelhead fishing

STORY AND PHOTO BY DAVID CAMPICHE

G

rays River flows like life-sustaining blood coursing through the veins and arteries of the human body. The small river seeps and weeps and dodges round river stones. The pulse of water is a heartbeat.

I’m standing on a footbridge that spans the river, here, just above the Grays River Hatchery.

Under it, the river floods for miles; floods under the famous covered bridge, past the pioneer house occupied by Grays River’s respected writer and poet, Robert Michael Pyle (“Wintergreen,” “Sky Time in Gray’s River”) and his talented wife Thea, floods until it settles placidly into the bay named for Robert Gray, who anchored the Columbia Rediviva there in 1792.

Some things haven’t changed much along this picturesque river. Certainly not the spangled quicksilver water. Certainly not the lovely western cedar and Sitka spruce that line the riverbank like exaggerated sentinels, each covered by a dangling skin of moss, lichen and licorice fern. Of course, this is not a perfectly accurate statement.

Trees have come down, clear-cut and extracted in massive numbers. Landscape has been altered.

But on a still winter day, under a pewter sky, it seems believable that the world of water and forest coexist somehow – if not solely – for the favor of myself and my friend, Phillip Goularte, the only visible humans on the river.

From that steel bridge, we watch the exodus

that riverside spot. Who is more determined, man or fish? I simply have no answer. However, sometime after the second hour, the fish, cranky after being molested by line and hook, slaps angrily at the bait. Before the steelhead can spit it out, Phil sets the hook. His reflexes are quick as a cat on Red Bull. Suddenly, the fight is on. On for about four seconds. The steelhead dashes under a stockade of underwater logs, snarls the line and breaks free.

I walk downstream hoping for a photo op. I am luckier than Phil today. I get photos. He loses two more fish.

What really has happened is simple and definable: We have crafted an outing. We are out of doors in one of the most beautiful of settings. We are surrounded by water, forest and creatures, big and small. I watch with extreme interest as a water ouzel darts to and fro, finding grubs or nesting material from beneath the water. I watch two eagles as they watch me. I find bear scat, no bears.

I spot one doe.

In the sixth century, Lao Tsu declared that “The highest good is like water.

“Water gives life to ten thousand things and does not strive.

“It flows in places men reject and so is like the Tao.” What is the Tao? Well, that is Phil and me and the steelhead trout, and this water, all dancing stone to stone as the river flows through.

My Weekend portunities for family game time dwindled. Occasionally, one of us will find a new game we think we’d all enjoy – Christmas last year brought an expensive roleplaying game based on the new “Battlestar Galactica” TV series, which we love. After we had cleared the living room of wrapping paper, I opened up the box to read the instructions ... and about an hour later, decided that we would need at least three full days

SEASIDE — Come join the Necanicum Watershed Council and friends Saturday, March 3, for the sixth annual Necanicum Bird Discovery Day. The day starts at 8 a.m. at the Seaside Mill Ponds (just south of Avenue S near the recycling center) for a guided bird walk, with a repeat walk also offered at 9 a.m.

Bring your binoculars, dress for the weather and wear sturdy walking shoes. Leave dogs at home, but bring your questions for the birding guides.

The main event starts at 10 a.m. at the Bob Chisholm Community Center, 1225 Avenue A. North Coast organizations that work with nature and wildlife – in-

cluding the Seaside Aquarium and the North Coast Land Conservancy – will provide information about the programs they offer to get you and your family outdoors and enjoying the coastal landscape.

Many local businesses have donated prizes for the raffle drawings or you can bid on one of the many birdhouses decorated by local businesses. All proceeds from the event will go toward the purchase of a raptor camera for the osprey nest at Seaside’s Broadway Park.

Shortly after 10 a.m., local ecologist Mike Patterson will demonstrate how to be more engaged with the environment as he teaches the art of taking field notes. Following his talk, Shar-

nelle Fee of the Wildlife Center of the North Coast will introduce some of the rescued birds that live at the wildlife center and share their stories. At noon, participants can hone their hammering skills with the ever-popular “Build Your Own Bird Nesting Box” activity, or for the more artistically inclined, decorate a reusable canvas shopping bag to reduce plastic waste. Materials and guidance will be provided for both activities and all ages and skill levels are welcome.

Maps and directions can be found at the Necanicum Watershed Council website at www.necanicumwatershed.org/ev ents/bird-day

The Barn Community Playhouse George Dzundza to teach acting and scene study class TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) announces an acting/scene study class to be led by George Dzundza. The class will be from 2 to 5 p.m. Sundays, starting March 4, at The Barn Community Playhouse located on the corner of 12th Street and Ivy Avenue. There will be a $5 donation to TAPA for each three-hour class; students only pay for the classes they attend. The donations will be tax deductible and all proceeds go directly to TAPA. Students must be at least 18 years of age because of the potential of adult subject matter.

Students will be asked to perform prepared scenes in the class.

They will be instructed on how to elevate their performances and acquire the tools of a basic acting technique. Work on a variety of guided scenes and experiences will sharpen their acting skills. Everyone will perform. Students will learn by doing, but they will also learn by watching how their fellow students grow and progress. The hope is to produce dedicated, independent and confident theater people.

Dzundza has been a professional actor and director for more than 45 years. During that time, the list of artists he has worked with include Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Christopher Walken, Denzel Washington, Demi Moore, Gene Hackman, Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep, Viggo Mortensen, Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas, Anthony Hopkins and F. Murray Abraham, to name a few. Dzundza is donating his time for these classes.

Students wanting to participate should contact Mary Hanthorn by phone or email at (503) 842-5566, (503) 801-0759 or mhanthorn@earthlink.net. In order to avoid class time delays, those interested are asked to register before March 4.

Seaside Jazz Festival An evolving tradition

I

t used to be called the Oregon Dixieland Jamboree, but now it’s the Seaside Jazz Festival. Why the change? “In the beginning, it was entirely Dixieland,” says codirector Ruth Johnson, “but over the years, tastes have changed. This year, less than 50 percent of the music is Dixieland.”

This change is reflected in the 2012 program, but if you’re looking for a bellwether, look no further than saxophonist Justin Ter Har. You may not have heard of him – but it’s only a matter of time. Ter Har is a senior at Seaside High School who plays everything from traditional to progressive jazz.

Ter Har has turned the Seaside Jazz Festival into his senior project. He and a friend painted and put up two signs advertising the festival, but more importantly, he helps out with raising money for scholarships. These scholarships allow high school students to attend a jazz camp in the summer, and there are raffles on all three days of the festival to raise the funds. Ter Har has been arranging for the prizes, contributed by local merchants (no doubt beginning with the family store, Ter Har’s).

But Justin Ter Har is more than a fundraiser.

He began playing the saxophone in the sixth grade, and he has put together a combo to play at the opening of the festival. What will they play? The old standard “Fly Me to the Moon,” a cover of Coltrane’s “My Favorite Things” (his first soprano sax number, with a sax given to him by Miles Davis), and a cover of the Count

Portland band The Bridgetown Sextet performs authentic, energetic roots jazz from the 1920s, ’30s and ’40s, with a sound evoking Creole New Orleans, the stomp of prohibition-era Chicago, fast-paced Harlem stride piano and the tight swing of Depression-era Manhattan.

This is entertainment! This is music that makes you want to dance, or at least to watch the dancers. Some post-modern jazz can be selfconscious, erudite and aimed at connoisseurs.

That’s not where jazz began. Jazz began with gospel and funeral marches, roadhouses and King Bolden’s cornet. It was fun! And that’s what it still is at the Seaside Jazz Festival. Not the old stuff, note-for-note, good as it is, but the tradition evolved to the present day.

The Seaside Jazz Festival begins at 3 p.m., Friday, Feb. 24, and continues through Sunday afternoon, Feb. 26. Venues are the Seaside Civic & Convention Center, Seaside Elks Lodge and Best Western Ocean View Resort. A complete schedule may be found at http://www.jazzseaside.com/schedule.htm Tickets range from $20 for Sunday only up to $90 for the full event. Students ages 14 to 20 pay $15 for the full three days, and those younger than 14 are free when accompanied by a paying adult. Ticket information is available at http://www.jazzseaside.com/tickets.htm or by calling (866) 345-6257 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Fridays.

Florence arrives and tries to interject order into the proceedings. The state of fisheries and finance is discussed, and the legacy of the FisherPoets Gathering.

Enter Jay Speakman.

Attendees of the 2011 FisherPoets Gathering crowded Clemente's Restaurant to view the film "Red Summer," which documents sockeye set net fishing on Alaska's Bristol Bay.

Fishteen years A conversation in three acts

•

Jay: Hey, I was just visiting Dave [Densmore] aboard the F/V Coldstream – he’s got the top house on it but it isn’t bolted down.

Jon: It was on board the F/V Lady Rosemary ...

Jay: The Coldstream was built in the ’60s in Seattle as a limit seiner.

He fished tuna off that and trolled.

Jon: ... I remember the boat before Dave owned it out in Kodiak.

Jay: The Rosemary is an old bottom-dragger steel hull – was it a buy-back?

Jon: It’s a shrimper from the Gulf. It wasn’t a buy-back boat.

Jay: It still has a license. And he has a seiner, fiberglass, in Kodiak as well – Jon: – the F/V Dreamer ... Hey, one guy who’s coming back this year is Toby Sullivan. He’s one of the few guys who survived the Kodiak crab fisheries.

Doreen: He’s bringing an unusual art display.

Hobe: Photos of survivors of the cold.

Doreen: Pictures of these guys now, holding pics of themselves when they were younger.

Jon: Twenty-four portraits in black and white. You can dial a number with your cell phone and listen to a narrative.

Jon: We’re putting out seed. People are starting to realize that this fishing industry is going to go away before our eyes and there needs to be some effort made to document it, Hobe: ... celebrate it.

Jay: ... advocate for it.

Jon: Alaska fisheries are as healthy as can be.

Hobe: Even the Columbia salmon runs are reviving – we’ve had some good years.

Jay: Albacore is doing pretty well. Overall Dungeness has fared pretty well. Smelt?

Hobe: They’re cyclic. When the conditions are good for sardines, they’re not good for smelt. They have disappeared for 30 years at a time.

Doreen: And then come back?

Florence: Early on I got some terrific advice – people won’t come to a fisherpoets gathering to make money.

They’ll come to be together. So from the beginning we’ve made sure we don’t make money.

Doreen: We do break even only because we don’t pay the fishermen ...

Florence: That’s kept it authentic and kept the spirit about kinship, about people who work in the industry.

There’s nothing that tangles us up with the profit motive.

Nothing ersatz about the FisherPoet Gathering .

Jon: ... that was like having Mickey Mantle come to your ballgame ...

Jay: We offered to find him a place to stay with his wife and a small stipend.

Florence: The ones who come the farthest we help a little if we can. We’ve made an original and a model – it is the absolute first. It was Jon’s idea after he went to a Cowboy Poet gathering. We’ve had some spinoffs. Our readers have gone out on the road – Jay: – under the heading of FisherPoets ...

Doreen: It’s a niche.

Jay: There are individuals like Dave – he’d just come from two gigs when I saw him, at the elementary school and at the college. He’s traveling and performing ...

Hobe: ... like a rock star.

Jay: He’s created almost a career.

Jon: Do you have to make money if it’s a career?

Jay: Well, no.

Florence: You could call it an avocation.

on the 125th anniversary of the Bristol Bay commercial fishery. They were constrained in how they could fish until 1952 – Hobe: – ’52 was the first year they could use engines.

Jon: ... they had to sail in Bristol Bay. Hobe: Why don’t we try to meet next week by the double-ender in the Cannery Museum?

Jay: Wasn’t that double-ender a sailing gillnetter from Bristol Bay? Hobe: It was built here.

Jon: Don’t we also have a guy who fished on that vessel, the Galaxy – that caught fire October 2002 up in the Bering Sea ...?

Dusk settles.

Don’t miss the real deal – fishermen and women talking and singing about their profession Friday through Sunday, Feb. 24 to 26.

ack when I lived in Cannon Beach, Clark’s was a favorite watering hole after the evening dinner shift. Though I knew of the building being overhauled and Martin Management reopening it as The Lumberyard, I hadn’t stopped in to see the changes and try the food until just recently.

When it was Clark’s, there was more of a brightly-lit wide-openness to the layout – an island bar in the middle with tables more or less scattered around it. The remodel has left the island bar but added partitions and sections, which paired with the muted lighting and wood-heavy atmosphere creates a more intimate setting for evening dining. The kitchen line is also exposed, should you want to catch some of the action.

There are booth sections and tables as well as seating at the bar. A beautiful logging mural takes up an entire wall near a cozy rock fireplace.

Great logs rise to the exposed-ventilation ceilings which are so popular these days.

I was very pleased with the service. Servers were able to answer all of my questions without checking with the kitchen or front of house management. This was not surprising. I’d done a stint with a Martin Management restaurant years back, and can attest to the thorough training that each employee receives.

Another Martin practice is having a full staff at all times. I frequently dine at restaurants where there’s a skeleton crew when it’s slow. A few unexpected tables arrive and suddenly the quality of service and timeliness of food plummets. At The Lumberyard, you can arrive on a Sunday evening to find a well-prepared team to take care of your party.

That being said, the only aspect I found disappointing was some of the food; more specifically the quality and execution of the food in regard to the prices. I know, I know, it’s Cannon

Beach. You have to expect to pay more there.

That isn’t a problem. But regardless of location, I feel justifiably entitled to a certain level of excellence for a certain price. The food was generally good, just expensive for what it is: calculated

very tasty, but doesn’t justify the price. While rich and complex in flavor, there just wasn’t much going on besides the thick base. I found myself wanting more sweet clam, more vegetables, even more potato. The last time I paid seven

COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW mouth@coastweekend.com please-everyone fare with chain restaurant sensibilities.

Crab and Artichoke Dip ($13.99) is served bubbling and browned in a searing hot cast iron skillet – don’t touch!

Warm grilled flatbread accompanies and makes an appropriate conveyance for the savory mixture. I appreciate how the “Boursin-scented cream cheese” didn’t overpower the crab, as can be common with dishes like these. This dish is perfect for three to share.

Clam Chowder ($4.99 cup, $6.99 bowl) is

dollars for a bowl of chowder was at The Depot, where the chef made it to order with steamers, razors and leeks. It was worth every penny.

Rib-eye chili ($4.99, $6.99) was a damn fine recipe, with cubes of steak, a slightly sweet yet well-balanced collection of spices and a commendable thickness. I recommend it, but again, believe it isn’t worthy of the hefty tariff.

I really enjoyed the Caesar salad ($8.99), though it wasn’t anything special. The thick shavings of asiago were a nice touch, but I’d have appreciated housemade croutons.

The Lumberyard Steak is the teres major cut, which has been gaining popularity in recent years.

The Epic Lumberyard Burger ($10.99) is a thick, handmade 7-ounce patty cooked to temperature and topped with Tillamook cheddar, thinly shaved red onion, lettuce and tomato. It arrives about five inches high on a brioche bun with your choice of sides. We tried the coleslaw, which could have used some pep from vinegar or citrus.

In a town with a Fultano’s and Pizza a’Fetta, it’s daring to put pizza on your menu, but The Lumberyard doesn’t disappoint. The hand-tossed dough is chewy and crisp, the underside a dark brown, just the way it should be. I recommend the Margherita ($12.99), with garlic, fresh basil and tomato.

Entrees were passable, but left something to be desired. The Signature Rotisserie Chicken ($17.99) is about the same as anywhere. It’s certainly got that rotisserie texture, which I like in the dark meat, but not in the white. The spice rub is good, not too salty. The rice pilaf blend accompanying is a little Uncle Ben’s-y, and the fresh vegetables – broccoli, cauliflower and carrots – were just barely steamed, very al dente, with no seasonings or butter or anything.

The Lumberyard Steak ($20.99) is the teres major cut, which has been gaining popularity in recent years. The “flat iron” cut is difficult to extract, but when cooked properly, is delicious.

Though I’d ordered mine extremely rare, it was cooked to medium, which must have been evident to the cook, as it was sliced on a bias into five parallelepiped chunks before being plated and sent out. The peppery Madeira sauce was good, but the mashed potatoes were quite pedestrian.

I like the atmosphere, the service and the happy hour prices, but much of the menu is overpriced for the quality. You can do a lot better in Cannon Beach, but I’ll admit you can also do a lot worse.

Northwest Women’s Surf Camps

Netel Grange Catch contra fever at the grange

Surf’s up for fun at Immersion Retreat SEASIDE — Create new, vibrant women’s relationships while learning and experiencing surfing and its healthful lifestyle at the Northwest Women’s Surf Camps (NWWSC) Surf Immersion Retreat July 15 to 20.

Surfing and beach yoga are just the beginning in a week of beach-lover’s paradise.

The group will stay at a private residence across from the Surfer’s Paradise Cove, just feet from the beach.

The week’s meals will be catered by local gourmet chef and owner of Sweet Basil’s Cafe in Cannon Beach, Chef John Sowa. His menu focus and specialty is on organic and locally-grown nutritious Northwest food ingredients and artisan products. Seafood, poultry and vegetarian dishes will be highlighted, as well as Cajun cuisine. Vegetarians are welcome.

Participants will learn an anusara vinyasa (flow yoga practice) daily during morning beach yoga. Daily surf camps will be held at several locations over the week to provide participants an in-depth and personal understanding of the diverse surfing conditions on Oregon’s beaches.

Qualified certified lifeguard instructors will provide a safe, progressive and dynamic teaching environment and will work with students to develop their skills at their own pace.

The group will carpool and all gear will be delivered to the daily location. Because of the close and convenient location of the lodgings to the beach and downtown, you can park your car for the Retreat and not have to go into busy summer traffic. You may want to bring a bicycle to enjoy rides about the area or rent one at a local shop.

Be treated to an amazing après surf hour massage with local licensed masseuse.

Evening activities include a live dinner show at the EVOO Cooking School in Cannon Beach, a hula hoop group lesson and fire hoop demonstration on the beach with hoopist Mandy Ferguson, a group walk along the historic 1920s Promenade to Broadway for fun at the Arcade, nostalgic bumper cars and Tilt-a-Whirl rides, an optional longboard skateboard demonstration and instruction with surf instructor Dennis Braun, with the last night’s bonfire on the beach featuring talented local musician Jason Lambert.

All wetsuit, wetsuit parts, Gath helmet and surfboard equipment are included and will be custom fitted on the first day of the Retreat. Remember, a Retreat is a treat you give yourself, but there will be souvenirs, too. Empowerment, connection and transformation await.

Cost is $2,195 for six days and five nights. Visit www.nwwomenssurfcamps.com/womensweekretreat.php for all details, slideshow, guest testimonials and online Active.com registration. Check out the Early Bird rebate discounts when booked by March 31. Contact Director Lexie Hallahan after April 15 for availability at surfcamps@freedomnw.com or call (503) 440-5782.

ASTORIA — There will be a contra dance Friday, March 2, at the Netel Grange, 90525 Logan Road, with a free lesson at 7:30 p.m. and live music and dancing from 8 until 11 p.m. Dave Ambrose of Astoria will call, with music provided by Seattle’s Red Crow, featuring Wayne Clark (fiddle, banjo, guitar, percussion) Chuck Pliske (concertina, piano) Joe Michaels (bass, guitar) and Susan Burke (fiddle).

Contra dancing combines about a dozen basic square dance moves with others such as balance and swing and petronella turn to make some interesting dances. Instead of forming squares of eight, any number of couples form long lines up and down the hall. A couple will dance with a neighboring couple for about 30 seconds and then will progress to another couple for 30 seconds; this is repeated down the hall until the end of the line is reached, whereupon the couple changes directions and progression is now up the hall. In this manner one dances with nearly everyone in the hall. It is a contra dance tradition to dance each dance with a different partner. Ladies may ask men to dance and vice versa. People of all ages find it easy to learn.

Come at 7:30 p.m. to learn the basics; after that each dance is clearly explained in turn. All ages, singles, couples and families are welcome. Admission is $8 (or pay what you can). Escorted children younger than 12 are admitted free.

Lightweight leather-soled shoes are recommended for dancing on wood and it is a good idea to dress in layers and bring a water bottle.

All the windows in the grange hall open wide, so the event is fragrance friendly. The dance is an alcohol- and smokefree event and refreshments are available.

Anyone for bridge?

Perhaps the most charming bridge book of all time is “Right Through the Pack,” published back in the late 1940s. The setting is a bridge club in London, the players go home at the end of the game, and the cards then come to life, all 52 of them eager to tell a delightful tale in which they had excelled. If this deal were in that book, then it might well be “The Tale of the Heart Two.” See how that heroic little fellow saves the day for Declarer.

Against a contract of 4♥, West leads the ♠J and North tables a rather sad Dummy. To make her contract, Declarer must set up some minor suit tricks. Can Declarer afford to draw trumps before playing on the minors?

No, it won’t do to draw trumps first and then start establishing minor suit winners; in that case the defense will keep pounding away in Spades, forcing Declarer to ruff and lose trump control. Instead, Declarer plays on the minors, leaving Dummy’s valiant Heart Two at large to handle the defensive Spade onslaught. Which minor should Declarer attack at Trick 2?

There won’t be enough tricks from Clubs alone because the suit is blocked. Playing ♦A and then ♦Q will allow the opponents to trump a third round of diamonds. So, craftily, Declarer plays the ♦Q at Trick 2. But East wickedly withholds the King, allowing the Queen to hold the trick! Now the Diamonds are dead and Declarer must play on Clubs. She loses a Club, ruffs the Spade return, and loses another Club. The defense can lead another Spade if they wish, but to no avail; Dummy’s Heart Two is there to take care of that and bring home the contract.
