A wind surfer navigates the calmer Columbia River waters inside the Alderbrook Lagoon. ALEX PAJUNAS — COAST WEEKEND
Coastal Life
BY LAURA SNYDER
Magic awaits at the east end of the Riverwalk
T
he Astoria Riverwalk is a gem that brings together many of the elements of Astoria’s history and wild beauty into one immensely accessible 5mile-long package, whether on foot (walking or running) or wheel (name it: bicycle, skateboard, wheelchair, stroller — or even historic trolley car). It’s most well-traveled between the East End Mooring Basin and somewhere around the Holiday Inn Express. But the minute you step onto the first trestle bridge east of the 39th Street Pier, a new, slightly untamed world awaits. Alderbrook Lagoon and its surroundings possess a wild yet gritty and artistic magic not to be found on other equally breathtaking sections of the riverfront. A delightfully quirky, unassuming neighborhood sprawls along the southern water’s edge, spanning the mile or so of the lagoon. Residents and former residents alike wax poetic about raising or being children in Alderbrook. Longtime Alderbrookian Peggy Bondurant says it was “such a wonderful place to raise children.” Pastimes included “mudwalking” at low tide, the procedure for which was simply to remove one’s shoes and walk out into the lagoon, “up to your whatever,” as Bondurant so eloquently states. Alderbrook Tag appealed as well,

The sandy trail then reconnects with the railroad tracks. The full loop trail will pass through the neighborhood and dip into Violet Laplante Park, another Alderbrook gem. This ethereal, Middle-Earth-like haven offers just a minimalist set of old fashioned playground equipment and a large and verdant expanse of green grass and massive shade trees that have acted as pirate ships, forts and hiding places for many a child and child at heart. The lagoon itself is a perfect, relatively calm kayaking or canoeing venue, publically accessible via the East End Mooring Basin. Intrepid swimmers have been known to make their way from Alderbrook Lagoon Beach west (with a partner of course). Depth for water activities is an issue, so consulting tide tables is a must. High tide is best whether one plans to be on top of or in the water. The mud can be daunting, unless of course you’re in it for the mudwalking.

Columbia River Kayaking ‘Babes in Boats’ gets women out onto the water SKAMOKAWA, Wash. — Internationally renowned kayaking coach and Columbia River Kayaking founder Ginni Callahan returns home to offer just one kayaking course in North America this year. “Babes in Boats,” held June 29 through July 1, can be taken as a one-, two- or three-day event. “Babes” is a lighthearted approach to kayaking safety, efficiency, grace and power, particularly tailored for women. Callahan is one of the most highly-certified coaches in the U.S. – of either gender – backed by both the British Canoe Union and the American Canoe Association. She has coached paddlers across the U.S., in Mexico and Australia and students have come to her from Chile, Tasmania, Sweden, Canada and Venezuela. Only two other women in the U.S. have achieved the world’s highest Leadership Award, the British Canoe Union’s Five-star. Callahan says, “Most instructors talk about rotating your body, and using the core to power the kayak. We do drills on land and identify what that actually feels like. Some games make people laugh, but they really do get folks to engage those larger muscle groups and feel it. Get back in the kayak, and you now know what you’re shooting for. Paddling with your core helps reduce injury and leaves you more energy for the long haul.” More information about the course and Columbia River Kayaking can be had by emailing info@columbiariverkayaking.co m, or by calling (360) 849-4016.
2012 Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival Schedule of Events
Welcome! to the 45th annual Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival
W
ho would have ever guessed that what started out as a Girl Scout fundraiser would have turned into a three-day festival of all things Scandinavian?
The Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival is a great way to spend a weekend in Astoria, celebrating the cultures that helped shape our historic region. We will have fantastic entertainment. Our featured entertainers are the Polka Chicks and Jepokryddona. Both bands are traveling all the way from Finland to perform at our festival. We are also proud to present Astoria’s own Astor Street Opry Company performing “Ole and Lena’s Wedding.” Our festival is fun for all ages. Plan your days well. There is so much to do and see and eat and drink. A complete festival schedule can be found on our website, www.astoriascanfest.com, and inside this Coast Weekend. Join us Friday when the doors open at 2 p.m. This evening, we crown our Miss Scandinavia and dance the night away at the Queen’s Ball. Saturday morning, start your day with the Troll Run, a 5.75-mile run/walk through the Olney countryside. In the case of pouring rain, the Saturday morning Optog (walking parade) may be held on the festival grounds. Sunday, wrap up your weekend with more festival fun and don’t forget to try your luck at the raffle. The winners will be announced at our closing ceremony, but you don’t have to be present to win. The Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival is a much-loved event that exists through the hard work of its volunteers. We want to thank everyone who makes our festival possible: the attendees, the vendors, entertainers and volunteers. A special thank-you goes out to our sponsors, without whom our event would not be viable. We invite you to join with us in our celebration of Scandinavian heritage. Remember, you do not have to be a Scandinavian to enjoy our festival, but you may leave here with a little bit of Scandinavia in your heart.

Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival
The Next Generation By Cate Gable
The 2012 Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival, taking place June 22, 23 and 24 at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds southeast of Astoria, has been delighting North Coast crowds for 45 years.
T
he Festival has deep roots in the community, as illustrated by event co-chairman Loran Mathews. “I’ve been involved I guess 40 years or more, and there are a lot of others, too. I’ve been involved long enough that I’m starting to see people I knew as children come back with their families and grandkids.”
Festival continuity One of the things that can make or break a festival is its ability to attract the younger generation. And it seems that the Scandinavian Festival has a little something for everyone. From the coronation of Miss Scandinavia Friday night followed by the hex burning and bonfire to the Midsummer Pole at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, the Troll run, the puppet theater and games in the Barnefest, there are events for all ages. But even more than that, the Festival has built-in reasons for young people to get involved and stay involved. The selection of princesses from each Scandinavian lodge brings in a new group of talented and inspired leaders every year. Many of these young women are stepping into the shoes of their mothers or grandmothers. As Mathews said, “We have a lot of kids who have been involved, but like all young folks they sort of scatter to the four winds over time for jobs or marriage; but a lot of them do enjoy coming back and being part of the Festival year by year – they come back with their families.” One of this year’s princesses, Emmi Collier, representing the United Finnish Kaleva Brothers and Sisters Lodge No. 2, said, “I’ve been part of the Festival my whole life! There are pictures of me going to the Festival when I was a baby, and I was a Junior Miss in 2001.” Leila (Koskela) Collier, Emmi’s mother, was in the Festival court in 1980 and Emmi’s grandmother, or “Mummo” Lempi Koskela, still makes traditional Scandinavian fare. “My observation is that like any organization, we’d like to have a lot more young people to help and make sure the Festival will continue – sometimes it’s tough to get people who want to take chairmanships,” Mathews continued, “but still, we have the princesses coming in and some have stayed with the Festival or come back. Our attendance has held steady these past years. We sell buttons – so we don’t count twice
14 | June 21, 2012 | coastweekend.com
if someone comes Friday then back in on Saturday – and we sell between 3,500 and 4,000.”
Family affair Family connections keep the Festival strong. Mathews notes that his granddaughter, Helen Johnson, was a past princess. Janet Bowler, Festival organizer, noted, “Helen recently spent lots of time making lefse (a Scandinavian flatbread) at the Sons of Norway Lodge. Her mother, Tara Johnson, organizes the church service at the Festival and, of course, her grandfather Loran is co-chair of the festival. Helen was Queen two or three years ago.” Johnson graduated from Clatsop Community College, where she was student body president. “I’ve been involved since I was born. With my grandpa and grandma being such big forces in the Festival, it was kind of unavoidable. As soon as us kids were big enough to lift a bucket full of flour or put garlands up, we were out there helping,” she said. “I think the Festival is a great way to learn about where you came from. In this country, we kind of have an identity crisis, so learning about your heritage and your family struggles with people who have the same background is a great way to figure out who you are.”
Food and fun Cala Petersen, Lower Columbia Danish Society princess, suggests another reason young people might get interested in the Festival. “I would just tell them to start out dancing and then ask your family, ‘Hey, do I have any Scandinavian heritage?’ Then go to the Festival, go to the booths, and talk to people who know about their heritage. Before becoming a princess, I’d been part of the Nordic dance group for a really long time – I’ve been dancing since I was in third grade – and I liked that my family was into the Danish tradition and I kind of wanted to learn more about it.” Petersen, who just finished her junior year at Astoria High School, also mentioned what fun it is being a princess. “We go to a lot of places to give our speeches – this last week we got to ride a Navy ship, the USS Dewey (the Navy’s guided missile destroyer) from the Port of Astoria to Portland. They gave us a tour of everything on the inside except cer-
tain security rooms and we got to be up on both the decks. I got to see the coast of Portland from the water. ... I definitely think the tradition will be carried on. I know I’m going to take my kids when I have a family.” When Collier was asked what’s best about the Festival, she said immediately, “The food! If I’m trying to convince someone to go I always say the food is great – it is one of the best parts of the Festival. It’s just delicious – you get sweet and salty, desserts, soups and everything in such a variety. Usually you can convince people with food.” Petersen agreed, “My favorite is definitely aebleskiver and lefse. I also like krumkake – it’s like an ice cream cone with designs on it, from Sweden, like a hollow cookie or a waffle. My family still makes a lot of these traditional foods for birthdays and holidays. My mom’s a really good cook.” Bowler confirms: “Festival food is very important and one reason that people keep coming back year after year. Many of these recipes are once-a-year treats unless someone in the family still knows how to make them. There is rullepolse – a cured meat that is served on openfaced sandwiches at the Sons of Norway booth. (They also serve lefse.) Corleen Mathews (Loran’s wife) makes krumkake and sells it in her booth along with coffee and prune tarts. There are two recipes for Finnish riisipuuro (rice pudding with fruit soup) from the Finnish Brotherhood. And the Danes make frikadeller, meatballs with red cabbage and rye bread.”
Forty-five years of family fun Other younger generation participants are performing. Don’t miss the Polka Chicks, fiddler Kukka Lehto and accordionist Teija Niku, coming all the way from Finland. Or Jepokryddona, also from Finland, who play mostly traditional wedding music from Jepo. And new this year, check out the Astor Street Opry Company’s Reader’s Theatre production of “Ole and Lena’s Wedding.” So go for the food, the fun or the camaraderie and help keep the Festival strong. As Johnson said, “The Festival is really kind of a giant family reunion. Even if you don’t know everyone at the Festival, you get to know everyone. That’s why I look forward to it every year – it provides a feeling of home.”

The irreverent and energetic folk duo Strangled Darlings will perform Saturday, June 23, at Hazel’s Tavern.
Hazel’s Tavern Energy, not punk, saves folk band ASTORIA — For many bands that rely on the traditional instrumentation and songwriting ethos of folk music, the only way to break free of a lifetime of local festivals in far-flung parts of the country is to channel the live intensity and volume of a punk band. But Portland-based duo Strangled Darlings has proven that all you really need to do is start to put some serious cracks in the folk-pop mold through powerful and eclectic songwriting infused with their own brand of shaking, irreverent energy and a dash of quiet determination. Led by multi-instrumentalists George Veech and Jessica Anderly, the Darlings have already proven that they can handle daring sonic adventures such as their album, “The Devil In Outer Space: An Operetta,” a sordid, hilarious and moving tale that tied together the title character and a man broken down spiritually and physically looking back on his rollercoaster life. Having proven to be a worthy addition to the pantheon of talent in their hometown, for their latest album, the Darlings were ready to move even further forward. “The title of the last album had a certain implied irony that I think is younger,” said Veech. “So maybe the theme of this recording is that we are growing up or exploring art more seriously.” So while the band’s latest album, “Red Yellow & Blue,” may not have a story line running through it, the dozen songs on the album carry the burden of the human comedy on its shoulders, dancing and smiling through the pain and distress. “Red Yellow & Blue” finds the Darlings weaving together a thick tapestry of lyrical and musical ideas. The duo performs at Hazel’s Tavern, 1313 Marine Drive, at 9 p.m. Saturday, June 23. There is no cover charge.
CANNON BEACH — Cannon Beach Gallery hosts three painters during June – Bets Cole, Phyllis Trowbridge and Michael Lorenzini – in “Landscape x 3.” The artists’ reception for this show will be held during Cannon Beach’s Plein Air and More festival, from 6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 23. Cole has achieved success in showing her artwork nationwide over the past 25 years, with paintings that are energetic, spontaneous, colorful and for the most part executed in the plein air tradition. Presently, Cole spends her time traveling around the world painting in such events as the Pacific Northwest Plein Air Invitational in the Columbia Gorge and the week-long Plein Air Artist Invitational “In the Footsteps of Thomas Moran” at Zion National Park. She received awards at both the Columbia Gorge and the Zion events. Trowbridge is also an established Oregon landscape painter, drawing and painting year-round. In 2008, D.K. Rows of the Oregonian wrote of her work, “There’s enchantment and enigma, quiet awe in these paintings of lifting fog, melting snow and placid lakes.” Trowbridge has exhibited extensively in such exhibits as the Oregon Biennial at the Portland Art Museum and the
6 to 8 p.m. Saturday, June 23 Cannon Beach Gallery 1064 S. Hemlock St., Cannon Beach (503) 436-0744 www.cannonbeacharts.org Free Schneider Museum in Ashland. Lorenzini fell in love with painting via surfing. A resident of Seaside, Lorenzini says that his passion for painting began in the cold, frigid waters of the Pacific. “I fell in love with the dynamic movement of water, the hypnotic changing of forms and colors. It didn’t take long for me to develop a passion for communicating this experience through art.” All three artists will be participating in the festivities surrounding Cannon Beach’s outdoor art event, Plein Air and More, over the weekend of June 22 to 24. The highlight of this event is when artists from all of the participating galleries set up their easels throughout downtown and in prominent locations on the beach. The Cannon Beach Gallery is located at 1064 S. Hemlock St.

A jalapeno burger is served alongside a bread bowl with homemade clam chowder at the Hungry Harbor Grille in Long Beach, Wash. ALEX PAJUNAS — COAST WEEKEND
C
oastal areas tend to draw large crowds during the summer, especially those right near the beach. Large crowds tend to draw certain types of restaurants, especially those that serve up simple “beach fare” that doesn’t require a lot of thought or creativity. These places give the less-discerning vacationers the ice cream, fried items, burgers and seafood that they expect from a beach community, and nothing more. I’m not sure, even three years in, that I’ve come to terms with the fact that I’ll never escape such places, and that they’ll likely never change. Hungry Harbor Grille of Long Beach, Wash., is just such a place. When I was a youngster, it was Krazy Jack’s. Doesn’t seem much different. You order from the massive, wall-mounted menu above the counter and take a seat while your order is cooked, arranged in plastic baskets with parchment paper and delivered to your table. I’ve got no problem with such casual places if the food is really good. I prefer writing about great restaurants. And sometimes it’s fun to write about the truly terrible ones. “Consistently good” is also a label I don’t mind stamping on a review. Like several recent reviews, this one’s going to be all over the map covering the good, the bad and the ugly, which is always the hardest to do. You can’t go wrong with the Harbor’s burgers. They’re one-third-pound patties, not too flat, and are served on a well-fitting pub bun with shredded lettuce, sliced tomato, pickles and onions. Depending on what you choose, some are messier than others. The Sweet Bleus Burger ($8.99) offers the unique pairing of bleu cheese crumbles and teriyaki sauce. I went in expecting it would be strange. It was different, but not necessarily in a negative way. The Jalapeno Burger

I don’t know how the oysthe strips ($8.99) were smaller and flatter than I’ve ters arrived at whatever factory concocted what
I was served at Hungry Harbor, but may those factory workers be ashamed of themselves for how they make their living. A while back, I reviewed a place that served prebreaded, fully cooked IQF (individually quick-frozen) oysters, and I thought I’d seen the worst. I referred to them as oyster McNuggets, and laughed that Long John Silver’s would likely serve a better product. Well, then I had the Harbor’s oysters and chips. How best to describe them? Well, an oyster is a tender thing of many shapes and sizes; no two are exactly alike. How could an outer hull be structurally designed so that the shape (somewhat reminiscent of little, flattened footballs) was always the same? Ever try those pizza rolls that come frozen in a bag at the supermarket? I remember having them once years ago. These “oysters” have the same give when bitten into. The filling is a slightly slimy paste that may have been injected into a hollow crust. Otherwise, the oysters were cut down to this size and shape while frozen, and then subjected to layers of breading that would hold them that way. Anyone interested in food science should go and have these just to try and figure them out. It’s hard to think of the last time I had a product so far removed from its original state. Let’s circle back to the good. The clam chowder is the one thing the menu claims to make fresh on-site. Good; I knew there had to be something. The chowder is an all-around good recipe — bacon here and there, base not too thick, tender pieces of clam. But I found there was twice the amount of potato there should be. It really dominated. But if you’re in a starchy mood, a Harbor specialty is the sourdough bread bowl ($6.99). A hollowed-out cannonball loaf is filled with chowder and served with crackers. I dare someone to finish the whole thing.

Plein Air & More
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Afternoon at Cape Falcon,â&#x20AC;?oil on wood by Michael Lorenzini.
Artists flock to Cannon Beach to celebrate outdoor painting
E
n plein air is a French expression which means â&#x20AC;&#x153;in the open air,â&#x20AC;? and is particularly used to describe painting outdoors. In the mid-19th century, working in natural light became particularly important to the Barbizon school and to the Impressionists. The popularity of painting en plein air increased in the 1870s with the introduction of paints in tubes. Previously, each painter made his or her own paints. When the Impressionists ventured out of their studios into nature to capture the effects of sunlight at different times of day on a subject, it was revolutionary. Cannon Beach takes a page out of Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book with its three-day celebration of Plein Air & More, June 22, 23 and 24. Artists will be around town and on the beach, working in their own mediums. There will be oil, watercolor and acrylic painting, sculpture and photography, work in melted wax, glass, sandstone, collage and more. Sponsored by The Gallery Group, the fourth annual Plein Air & More will feature artists from 12 galleries. Workshops and receptions will be held in several galleries. For a complete schedule of galleries, see www.cbgallerygroup.com Some of the artists, their galleries and their mediums will be: Bronze Coast Gallery: Annie Henrie working in mixed media of acrylic, oil, charcoal pencil and gesso texturing. She is the daughter of Cary Henrie, her teacher, who will also be there. His technique is layering, sanding, adding and subtracting paint to create the desired patina. Cannon Beach Gallery has three artists participating: Phyllis Trow-

bridge, Bets Cole and Michael Lorenzini. Dragonfire Gallery will showcase Christopher Gerber, working with multiple layers of mica pigments, wax and fire; JoAnn Chartier, an award-winning painter, sculptor and printmaker; and Michael Orwick, landscape artist. George Vetter Fotoart: George Vetter has been in Cannon Beach since 1977 and has collected a library of more than 100,000 digital images, many of which have appeared in local and national publications. His image, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Clarkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s View,â&#x20AC;? is now an 8-foot-high mural in the Great Falls, Mont., Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center. Haystack Gallery: Janis Ellison works in pastels and excels at plein air and Sally Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Neill uses oils to create light, color and atmosphere. Pat Lambrecht-Hould began her artistic career as a sculptor and later moved
For a complete schedule of galleries, see www. cbgallerygroup.com to oil painting. She has recently worked in watercolor and acrylic. Icefire Glassworks: Jim Kingwell and Suzanne Kindland create glass shapes in a magnificent variety of color and form. Watching them work together is a carefully choreographed ballet merging discipline, talent and creativity. Jeffrey Hull Gallery: Jeff began his painting career 40 years ago as a resident of Cannon Beach, using watercolor and oil. He will probably be found on the beach during Plein Air, but visit his studio to see his wondrous seascapes. He is a signature member of the prestigious American Society of Marine Artists. Jewelry by Sharon Amber: Sharon Amber is best known for her designs incorporating local gems carved into mermaids, seascapes and faces bedecked with exotic colored stones. During Plein Air, she will carve local sandstone into images related to the sea. There will be something for every artistic taste as you wander the streets, the beach and the studios and galleries of Cannon Beach. Put on your walking shoes and be prepared to make frequent stops to watch these multitalented artists create fine art en plein air.
