According to Tennis, geologists have discovered that our region has had a 9.0 or greater earthquake every 300 to 1000 years. The last megathrust earthquake in the region occurred on January 29, 1700. In 2012, a 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan killed about 20,000 people. In 2004, 10 times that number were killed in the 9.1 earthquake and tsunami in Sumatra. Why were there so fewer deaths in Japan? Because they were prepared, wrote Tennis in an email to the libraries. “There is no reason to fear living in coastal Washington; knowing what to expect during an earthquake and

A love of sharp lines leads to sandblasting for a Cannon Beach artist
Ecola Lewis knew next to nothing about sandblasting. But her mom’s birthday was coming up, and she needed a gift. “Mom wanted a privacy screen out in front of the house,â€? she remembers. Lewis’ father, a general contractor, had acquired some large glass panels from a job that were about the right size for her parents’ Cannon Beach House. But rather than simply installing the screen, Lewis sought to add a more personal touch. “I had this white contact paper and a random idea of WKHVH QDWLYH Âż VK swimming up river, and I went to work on it,â€? she says. “I drew the design, and I started cutting, and I had no concept of positive and negative space or what I was even going to use to etch the glass.â€? Through bits of research, trial and error, and with the help of family and friends, Lewis decided sandblasting would be preferable to an acid etch. Here again, her father’s trade came in handy. “He already had the compressor,â€? Lewis says. “He went and bought me a sandblasting gun and a

At the time, Lewis didn’t fall head over heels in love with the new medium. Living in Portland and working full time, sandblasting fell by the wayside. Two years later, though, after returning to Cannon Beach, she was once again in need of a gift. As a wedding present for one of her oldest girlfriends, Lewis designed an image – inspired by the art of Aleut Alaskan Indians – of a raven and an eagle coming together in the shape of a heart. She blasted it into the pane of an antique window. The following Christmas she really got busy. “I made my mother a caribou window,â€? Lewis says. “I made my sister a tree mirror. I sandblasted my brother’s glass door with a local Vancouver, Canada artist’s designs, and I did a boat, the ‘Ecola Anne,’ for my dad.â€? The image particularly struck her father. “Dad was so happy with his boat window that he showed all of his friends,â€? Lewis says. “Anytime anyone was even stopping by the house he was like, ‘Oh, come in, come in, look what Ecola did!’â€? One of her father’s friends was so impressed he

hired Lewis to etch a series of brand new windows to be installed in his home. Besides simply becoming lucrative, Lewis was coming around to embrace sandblasting as a more preferred medium for her creative output. “I took a lot of art classes through college,â€? she says. “I didn’t like the mess that oil painting brought. It’s kind of DOO RYHU WKH SODFH ,WÂśV YHU\ Ă€ XLG ,W wasn’t very exact. I like sharp lines.â€?

kindergarten, she helped paint. “I wanted to take images from those murals and transpose them onto the glass,� Lewis says. And when a friend pointed out the large glass windows on the backs of bus stops in Cannon Beach, she had her canvas. Initially, Lewis applied for a grant from the Tolovana Arts Colony, which she did not receive because, at the time, she had not cleared the project with the city. But once she presented the idea of beautifying the bus stops, a green light was quickly given. “It was such a fun project idea,� says Lewis, who expects to have the panels installed by the Spring Unveiling Arts Festival in early May, “that I wanted to get the ball rolling on it anyway – whether I was going to be paid or not.�

The Gray Whale BBQ and Grill Go for the meat, and stay for the meat
A
At the risk of sounding trite, there are two kinds of people in this world; there are people that love barbecue, and then there are people that loooove barbecue. Logic says there must be a third contingency that has lukewarm feelings about barbecue, but this is likely not a contingency that barbecue fans care to associate with, and is perhaps even un-American. (I think it might even be a ¿ne-print by-law in the Constitution, which I’m scanning as we speak.) I, for e[ample, ¿nd myself in the former camp of people who love barbecue, while my spouse is in the latter, barbecue “loooove” camp. So ardent is this love, for example, that a trek to Texas to visit Texas Original Pits and procure a one-of-a-kind grill, is in the of¿ng. A few barbecue places have cropped up here and there on the coast over the years, only to fade away relatively quickly, so I was intrigued when an alert reader recently tipped me off that Gray Whale BBQ and Grill in Seaside was worth a visit. I approach recommendations from readers with a bit of nervousness at times, as it is entirely possible that I may not share their enthusiasm and might therefore put them off my column – I don’t know what my approval number is like, but I certainly don’t want to lose any readers! On the other hand, these recommendations often hold water, and more often than not I end up agreeing with my reader’s recommendations. Such is the case with the Gray Whale BBQ and Grill, and I’m glad to share in a reader’s enthusiasm and echo it. My fellow diners and I sampled a variety of barbecued meats, including tri-tip steak, pulled pork and pork ribs, and each was as delicious as the next. I noticed that both the tri-tip and pulled pork
where more about texture than Àavor. The tri-tip was cooked perfectly medium to medium well, and was so tender you could practically cut it with a spoon, while the pulled pork didn’t have the stringy, shredded consistency I was expecting, but rather appeared in tender bits of various sizes. Though both represented that just-right combination of being just ¿rm enough and falling apart, they lacked a bit in Àavor. It seems both the tri-tip and pulled pork were designed this way, though, so that you can select from a variety of barbecue sauces to top them off with. The hickory sauce, with its classic .ansas City smoky Àavor was my favorite, although the Gray Whale sauce, more savory and
The ribs themselves were quite plump, and the meat fairly fell off the bone. These are great ribs, and they are not to be missed.

mild, was favored by a few members of my party. The shining star, in my opinion, was the ribs – and isn’t that the way it should be? A generous portion of pork ribs was rubbed with a savory and sweet blend of … something … and charred until almost caramelized on the outside – an unexpected but tasty departure from the ordinary. The ribs themselves were quite plump, and the meat fairly fell off the bone. These are great ribs, and they are not to be missed. I was less impressed by the sides that accom-
mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photo by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday through Tuesday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday, 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday; closed Wednesdays. PRICES: Prices are affordable and reflect a wide range of value and options. The dolphin burger, for example, is a steal at just $4.99, while a four-person barbecue smorgasboard (actually, it’s served on a garbage can lid), of three meats and four sides, comes with a $59.99 pricetag. SERVICE: Our server was friendly and helpful, and the food arrived quickly.
ATMOSPHERE: With a fun name like the Gray Whale, I would expect some of the nautical décor that is so omnipresent here on the coast, or perhaps something fun and kitschy that might cash in on the name, but, housed in a strip mall, the restaurant feels a little like … well, a strip mall. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: This is a meat-lover’s paradise; cole slaw or roasted veggies are as vegetarian as it gets. DRINKS: Coffee, iced tea, soft drinks and root beer floats.
panied the various meat choices. Although the mashed potatoes and gravy were delectable, the French fries weren’t particularly special. The cole slaw was pretty Àavorless, lacking that sweet-andsour punch that traditional cole slaw gets from sugar and vinegar; either ingredient would have helped. With a lot of salt and pepper it was edible but not noteworthy. I appreciated that the grilled vegetables had a smoky, grilled Àavor, which is the way I often like them when I grill at home, but they lacked much other Àavor to round out the pro¿le; some olive oil and lemon could have improved them, or garlic, onion, salt, pepper, and any other number of ingredients that are simple, inexpensive and make a huge impact. Another dining companion loved the shipwreck sandwich, the Gray Whale’s version of a Philly cheesesteak with tri-tip steak, grilled peppers and provolone cheese. Although I could have used a bit more Àavor, the overall package was tasty, and when I added some hickory sauce, it was excellent (although one could argue that it wouldn’t exactly be a “Philly” in that regard). A minor point I might also mention is that I felt the atmosphere could be livened up. I was visiting at lunch time, though, and I imagine the piano I saw might bring the place more to life in the evening. With its location in a strip mall, it’s dif¿cult to lose that vibe without some clever decorating – although it certainly can be done. At the end of the day, go for the meat and stay for the meat. And stay, and stay, and stay.

Libraries change lives, empower everyone Sign the Declaration for the Right to Libraries at your TRL PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — During National Library Week, April 14 to 19, all 27 Timberland Regional Library branches in ThurVWRQ 3DFL¿F 0DVRQ /HZLV DQG Grays Harbor counties will be asking patrons to sign The Declaration for the Right to Libraries, the cornerstone document of American Library Association President Barbara Stripling’s presidential initiative, Libraries Change Lives. When the week is over, TRL will gather the sheets of signatures and send them to ALA to present to legislators in WashLQJWRQ ' & LQ HDUO\ 0D\ DV SDUW of National Library Legislative Day. The purpose is to reinforce to federal legislators the essential nature of libraries to our free democratic society. All kinds of libraries – public, school, academic and special libraries – are organizing Declaration signings to raise public awareness about the critical role
that libraries play in the community and to generate dialog about the needs of the community and how the library can be a solution to those needs. Society is changing in the way it consumes information. Libraries – as early adopters of technology – evolve with these changes in order to serve the public. TRL helps expand people’s world of technology by offering free access to feaWXUHV VXFK DV ZL ¿ H ERRNV DQG e-readers, computers and digital media. Libraries don’t just offer the hardware; they offer the expertise of librarians in helping people learn how to use the Internet VNLOOIXOO\ WR ¿QG WKH LQIRUPDWLRQ they need quickly. While Google can give you 50,000 responses, \RXU OLEUDULDQ FDQ KHOS \RX ¿QG the answer. Libraries shoulder tremendous responsibility in bridging the digital divide to ensure that
all people, regardless of their socioeconomic status, have access to the content they need – no matter what format the content comes in. For hundreds of examples of the ways that local Timberland library staff respond to and assist patrons of all ages every day, visit www.trl.org/GetInvolved/Pages/Service-Stories. aspx The Declaration for the Right to Libraries talks about how libraries empower the individual, support literacy and lifelong learning, strengthen families, are the great equalizer, build communities, protect our right to know, strengthen our nation, advance research and scholarship, help us to better understand each other, and preserve our nation’s cultural heritage.

Five Minutes With ... DENNIS HALE
Born in Livingston, Mont. and raised in Big Timber, Mont., this musician has taught music, now works as a contractor, and enjoys brewing beer.
What instruments do you play? My main instrument is the tuba, which I started playing in the sixth grade. My father and grandfather also played tuba, but my older brother branched out and plays the euphonium. What local musical groups do you perform with? What is the time commitment like? I currently play in the Astoria Tuba Quartet, the North Coast Symphonic Band, the Southwest Washington Wind
A Place to Call Home
Symphony, All That Jazz, “The Nutcracker� orchestra and the North Oregon Coast Symphony. The time commitment ranges from six to eight hours a week, sometimes more, for rehearsals and performances. How did you get involved with music? Coming from a musical family (Besides the musical men, my mother also played the piano.), I naturally wanted to join the fun and decided on the tuba. I continued on through high school and college. While at the University of Montana in Missoula, I played in the Missoula Civic Symphony, Jazz Workshop and the university band.

Who is your favorite overlooked or underappreciated musician? Jazz great Ray Anderson. Tell me about a memorable concert. Watching Arnold Jacobs perform with the Chicago Symphony when I was in college is my favorite memory. I hear you’re one of the founders of the Astoria Tuba Quartet? Yes, after hearing the Tuba-

dours, I thought that playing in a tuba quartet would be fun. How do you occupy your time when you aren’t playing music? My job as a contractor keeps me busy. I also brew beer with Jim Huber, attend musical performances, and spend time with family and friends. A major event for me is participating in the Harvey Phillips Northwest Big Brass Bash, where a large number of tuba and euphonium players gather together each July to practice and make lots of music together. The final event is an afternoon concert. What do you like about living on the coast? I love the friendly atmosphere and residents. The North Coast also provides many opportunities for me to join my fellow musicians to make music, and the mild weather is wonderful after many Montana winters.
