Owner of Found makes a connection
All walks of life, all the time
By Eve Marx
Cannon Beach Gazette
Ann-Marie Radich es-
tablished Found in midtown
Cannon Beach in 2008 as a
work of passion. “My pas-
sion is treasure hunting,”
she said. “, loYe µ¿nds.¶ ,
had a bunch of artist friends
who were looking for a
place or new places to sell
their work. 7hat¶s how this
all really started.”
Found is grooYy. ,t¶s a
feel-good shop. 7here¶s art
galore, but don¶t call it a
gallery. :hat you will ¿nd
might be a gorgeous vintage
table, hand-crafted jewelry,
vintage and newly blown
glassware, furniture, pot-
tery, paintings. A big pres-
ence in the shop right now
is -im +annen¶s ¿shing boat
glass lamps and chande-
liers. A visitor can spend a
long time browsing through
Found perusing things
like Chris -ohnson¶s hand-
thrown pottery or Debra
Carnes¶
driftwood-en-
hanced green gourds. And
how about that swell boot
bench by Bryce Majors?
Radich was born and
raised in Portland. She grew
up spending weekends and
summers at the beach. “I
moved here in ¶,” she
said. “I knew I could always
make a living.”
For awhile, she support-
ed herself as a waitress.
“(veryone says µserver¶
now, but I just say ‘wait-
ress,¶” Radich laughed. She
said she came to the beach
to surf and then just “stuck
around.”
Radich gave a visitor
a little history of Found¶s
physical space. “Back in the
‘80¶s and the ‘0¶s it was
Café de la Mer, a French
restaurant. For a while it
was a coffee house called
The Bald Eagle that had two
different owners before, and
after it was Café de la Mer.
Before that it was a house.
There is still an apartment
upstairs.”
Ms. Radich said she¶s
very happy with her mid-
town location. “There¶s
good energy,” she said.
“Of course the energy from
Haystack Rock, but also
because it just feels closer
to the ocean here because
what¶s in front of us is less
built up.”
Radich is passionate
about running her own busi-
ness. “It¶s fantastic,” she
said. “It¶s a combination of
different kinds of fantastic.
You see all walks of life, all
the time. Cannon Beach is
very cosmopolitan. People
visit here from all over the
world. You never know who
is going to walk in to your
store. It¶s ama]ing.”
Radich decided to call
her shop Found because she
was always ¿nding things.
“I was ¿nding vintage
things to sell, I was ¿nd-
ing salvage to repurpose. I
found things at estate sales.
I found driftwood at the
beach.” She said she was
very close with the artist
Steve McLeod, who died
May 11. “Steve and Libby
Pattison were very encour-
aging.” She said once she
announced her intentions,

¿ve artist friends came on.
“Those ¿rst ¿ve were my
driving force,” Radich said.
Radich spoke about Can-
non Beach¶s long legacy as
an art community. She said
she felt something pull at
her heartstrings when more
shops downtown began sell-
ing things that were more
commercial and less local.
“There seemed to be more
trinket shops,” she said.
That helped her decide
that Found¶s credo would
be to only sell things made
by local artists and artisans,
“Things that were already
used, things that had been
up-cycled, things that have
been repurposed,” Radich
said. “My goal is helping
restore the legacy of locally
made rather than mass-pro-
duced.”
The most important thing
for Radich is her connection
to the artists. “It starts with
meeting them, becoming
friends,” she said. “Some-
times for myself, I buy and
collect their work. That is
what I want to be selling in
my shop, things I want for
myself.”
Found has no website,
but they do have a Face-
book page.
“Living and working
here has been wonderful,”
Radich said. “It¶s such a
wonderful community. I
love my retail neighbors.”
She said she feels she¶s
in a sweet spot nestled
alongside the Sleepy Monk,
the Irish Table and Cannon
Beach Hardware & Pub-
lic House. She loves being
across the street from the
American Legion. “We all
get along like gangbusters,”
Radich said. “We¶re like the
wild, wild West of Cannon
Beach.”
Found is located at 1287
S. Hemlock 0--1812.
The shop is open this sum-
mer seven days a week, 10
a.m. to p.m. The store is
celebrating an anniversary
on Bastille Day, -uly 1.
“Drop by for bubbles,” Ra-
dich said.
Vintner hopes to ‘Kickstart’ Winery at Manzanita
By R.J. Marx
Cannon Beach Gazette
Mark Proden wants to
bring a winery to the North
Coast, and he is asking for
the public¶s help in making
his dream come true. The
Portland-based winemak-
er, inspired by the city of
Man]anita and its pro[im-
ity to the Paci¿c Ocean, is
currently in the midst of a
Kickstarter campaign to
help raise funds for The
Winery at Man]anita.
The campaign, which
began -une and will con-
tinue through July 8, seeks
to involve the community in
bringing a premier wine-mak-
ing facility to the coast.
Originally from Wis-
consin, Proden, 1, became
interested in wine through
cooking during his 11 years
as an Air Force pilot and
engineer, visiting the Napa
and Sonoma regions in Cal-
ifornia and eventually the
vineyards of the Willamette
Valley. Proden said he fell
in love with Oregon “the
¿rst time I came up.”
Proden began making
wine in a small space in
Salem and started seeking
a new building in a location
which he described as “in-
spired by nature.”
“I started going to Man-
]anita on my last few va-

cation days from the Air
Force,” Proden said. “I
drove up from L.A. to
Man]anita, and I thought,
‘This is such a cool little
town.¶ I kept going up be-
cause of my dog, Pinot. It¶s
a very friendly dog beach,
and it¶s very reminiscent
of Nantucket, with cedar
shingles and architecture. I
thought how cool it would
be to have a great winery so
close to the beach.”
Proden worked with
Erath Winery, and later and
in the Cubanismo and Or-
chard Heights tasting room,
both in Salem. In 201,
he opened his own tasting
room, The Portland Wine
Bar in downtown Portland,
just off Pioneer Courthouse
Square.
Now he hopes to settle
permanently in Man]anita.
Working with his good
friend, Richard Cuddihy —
one of the legends of Ore-
gon wine lore and a char-
ter member of the Oregon
Wine *rower¶s Association
Happy

retriever that serves as the
winery’s mascot.
— Proden responded to a
sign posted on Man]anita¶s
main street, Laneda Ave-
nue, stating “Imagine the
possibilities!”
Cuddihy, who lived in
Yamhill, died in 201, but
Proden used his inspira-
tion to move ahead with
his own dreams. Man]anita
Real Estate broker Charley
Lostrom helped moved the
BOOK
project ahead by brokering
the location close to the
beach.
Upon completion, the
Man]anita Winery will fea-
ture a shingled 00-square-
foot
tasting
room,
2,000-square-foot produc-
tion facility, with courtyard,
grape vines and string bulb
lighting. The plan calls for
Adirondack chairs, ¿re pits,
a glass roll-up garage door
entrance and ocean view
deck.
Proden
is
seeking
,000 through his Kick-
starter program to raise
funds for a de-stemmer,
press, fermentation tank,
barrels, commercial dish-
washer, tasting room bar,
chairs and wine barrel ¿re
pits. Rewards range from
a cup of coffee a day for a
month to pi]]a parties, pri-
vate candlelight dinners,
picnic beach lunches, and
an opportunity for an aspir-
ing oenophile to design his
or her own label.
Along with pinots, Pro-
den urged wine lovers to
sample the state¶s wide
range of wines, especially
malbec and cabernet sau-
vignon. “They¶re more di-
versi¿ed,” he said. “I think
the pinot bubble has burst
a bit, because Oregon is so
renowned for pinot. Peo-
ple are still de¿nitely ask-
ing for it. But then they¶re
surprised to know we can
grow all these single vari-
etals that are normally in a
blend.”
He said that while some
vines will be onsite at the
Winery, most of the wine
grapes will be grown else-
where, in vineyards in
Oregon and Washington
state.
Proden said when seek-
ing to partner with a vine-
yard, he looks for growing
practices and sustainability.
“When you get into the har-
vest, you¶re looking at the
acid, the pH and the fruit
quality,” he said.
Proden will be produc-
ing the wine himself, and
said he sought to market
about 2,000 cases per year.
Whether the Kickstart-
er campaign provides the
funds he needs, Proden said
he plans to move ahead
with the project. “I¶m not
ultimately relying on it, I¶m
pursuing it either way,” he
said.
“It¶s just how much I am
going to get pinched,” he
added with a laugh.
Construction of the
building has begun, and the
winery¶s tasting room is e[-
pected to open this fall.
