A venture down Pipeline Road Gravel crunched underfoot, and the faint twittering of birdsong hovered in the air, but otherwise, the road was quiet and empty.

The paved road stretched out before me, rising slightly before curving and dipping out of sight around the bend. On the side of the trail, alder saplings sprung from the ground near their tall, established parents. Young, bright leaves reached up eagerly for the warm spring sunlight. $ YRLFH ¿OWHUHG GRZQ FDUried on the breeze to my ear. Where? Craning my neck, I could just spy the top of the Astoria Column high above through the trees. Two visitors peered over the railing at the southern view below them. They couldn’t see me. I turned to look with them. From my vantage point, I could see the new Astoria Sports Complex site. The construction equipment sat quiet and unmoving in the Sunday afternoon sun. Beyond lay Youngs River. Saddle Mountain rose in the distance, a high blue bump on the horizon. ,W ZDV WKH ¿UVW WLPH ,œG HYHU walked down Pipeline Road. In fact, I didn’t even know its

name at the time; I had to ask a friendly older couple who were out walking their dog. Pipeline Road lies in southeast Astoria. You can access it by driving east down Niagara Avenue, then south down 16th Street toward Shively Park. But instead of continuing more or less straight onto Williamsport Road, turn east to James Street. A block or two further, you’ll come upon a gate road block. This is the start of Pipeline Road, which is considered a “connector road� and is not

technically a hiking “trail.â€? But, since the gate only allows authorized vehicles, the road is safe for pedestrian use. During my long walk, I ran into a lone jogger, two bicyclists and three dog walkers. Obviously, the road is known to others, though it was new to me. The path leads through an urban forest. Though the start of Pipeline is in Astoria, you feel removed from the city, in that special transitional space between town and country. Solitude surrounds you. 0DSV DQG RIÂżFLDO ZDONLQJ hiking guides designate Pipeline Road to be about 1.35 miles; in actuality, that’s the length of the road within city limits. Pipeline Road is long, leading through forest from James Street, past the Astoria Reservoir, and continuing all

the way east to Market Road in Svensen. You can see why it’s a “connector� road. Past Astoria city limits, it intersects several trails, old logging roads and others, such as Bonneville Powerline Road and Scandinavian Cannery Road.

Helping animals and people in the 21st century

Some exciting things are happening at the Spay and Neuter Thrift Shop of Seaside. Don’t know the place? Well, that’s just one of the WKLQJV WKH ¿ QH IRONV WKHUH LQWHQG WR UHFWLI\

A worthy mission

The Thrift has had two earlier incarnations. ,Q WKH Âż UVW VWRUH ZDV NQRZQ DV WKH 1RUWK Coast Animal Haven. The Haven had been accumulating funds for an animal shelter, and when the Clatsop County Animal Shelter was built in Warrenton, the organization switched its focus.

Whatever name it’s had, the organization’s mission has always been to end hardship and abuse for animals and people and to end the euthanizing of unwanted pets.“Everything started with people with a great love for animals, and that’s a beautiful thing,â€? says volunteer Patti Rouse. Volunteers work tirelessly for animals, but a

Changes are comin’ down

As its legacy, the Thrift’s current Board is making changes in a number of areas. The organization has grown. But more importantly, members want to ensure it remains viable over time. “We’re determined to dig into everything and PDNH VXUH ZH KDYH D VWURQJ Âż QDQFLDO IRXQGDWLRQ (and administrative structure) in place that will serve us for years,â€? says board member Deborah Grove. Helping to achieve this is volunteer-cum-paid-business-and-management-consultant Aza Cody, who was hired in July 2013. “(Aza) has really brought our attention to a lot of things,â€? says Grove.

Typically, they’re needed to help sort and price certain items that people donate to the thrift shop, such as tools and knives and to test the electronics that come in.

About donations

Donations from a generous community have kept the Thrift going strong. A wide variety of items at the Thrift are available for reasonable prices. Holiday items alone – Mardi Gras, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Christmas and more – are plentiful and a bargain. The shop is scrupulously clean inside, no musty or otherwise unpleasant smells here. Clatsop Animal Assistance President Rae Zimmerling is a fan. “The Spay/Neuter Thrift Shop of Seaside is the cleanest, nicest thrift store I NQRZ , FDQ DOZD\V Âż QG DQ LQWHUHVWLQJ WUHDVXUH there,â€? she says. Any donated items that are damaged are rejected, but nothing is wasted. “If we can’t use something (or give it to places like the Broadway Clothing exchange), it’s sent on to St. Vincent DePaul or Goodwill,â€? says Rouse. “There’s always need there.â€? The store doesn’t accept large furniture, but dressers, tables and chairs are good, and there’s a continual need for small housewares. A drive-in drop off at the back of the building receives all donations. “You turn into the little alley behind our building (next to the Holiday Inn Express), then look for the sign showing where to park,â€? directs Grove. Donations are only accepted at the drop off during regular business hours. The Thrift asks that donors not leave items outside when the store is closed. What the Thrift has achieved is truly a winwin for everyone involved. Clatsop County Animal Shelter Supervisor Stephen Hildreth couldn’t agree more.

“The Spay and Neuter Thrift store folks are a wonderful group who do so much for the FRPPXQLW\ ZLWK WKHLU VSD\ QHXWHU FHUWLÂż FDWH program,â€? he says. “Without it, the animal overpopulation problem in Clatsop County would be so much worse than it is. The organization’s support for the animal shelter has been unwavering, and their devotion to helping the animals of this community is truly inspiring.â€? See more photos online at coastweekend.com

ĆœȡȯȟȳÎŽĆšČłČłÉ É‚Ƚȟ Former San Francisco photographer calls Astoria – and her painting studio – home

O

Only a certain sort of free-spirited photographer would walk away from a 30-year career at the top of her game. By the 1980s, Diane Beeston’s striking photographs, mostly black and white, of San Francisco Bay’s sailboats – often racing and driven hard by the Golden Gate’s fair, relentless westerly winds – graced sailing magazine covers, hung in a thousand dens and yacht club trophy rooms, and had been collected in “Of Wind, Fog and Sail: Sailing in San Francisco Bay� (1972 Chronicle Press). Yachting magazine’s Bill Robinson called her “the best marine photographer in the world.� In 1988, she sold her cameras and darkroom equipment, moved from San Francisco to Astoria and took up painting. “I was tired of photographing sailboats,� she explains simply. Today there’s hardly a photograph in Beeston’s house. Her walls are hung, instead, with her own vibrant paintings, reminiscent of Van Gogh’s bedroom at Arles. The Columbia rolls by just outside her windows. Like Cezanne’s at Aix-en-Provence, they face north and invite into her studio plenty of soft, diffuse, shadowless light. Her paintings of the working waterfront, of Astoria and of the neighboring countryside are assertive and optimistic. “I like color and I like contrast,� she says, which won’t surprise anyone familiar with her photos. What is surprising is how few sailboats appear in her paintings. “The only sailboats I’ve painted have been commissions,� she remarks. Nor did she follow the recent America’s Cup competition between enormous, high-tech, kevlar-winged catamarans on San Francisco Bay. “Why does everybody have to go so damn fast? Why don’t they have a race for who looks the best?� she wants to know. Astoria’s less frenetic pace has long agreed with her and the Columbia House now more than suits her purposes. “I’m in seventh heaven here. Every working boat on the river goes right by my window. Talk about opportunities for painting.

And I don’t even have to get wet.â€? Staying dry was a luxury during Beeston’s career photographing sailboats. She began while she was a medical photographer at the University of California Medical Center. One Saturday on the waterfront, she was taken with the spinnakers of racing sailboats as they rounded the weather mark at Crissy Field. Though she knew nothing about sailing, the next day she returned with her camera. A lot of UC doctors, “particularly surgeons,â€? she says, owned sailboats, and she found they would buy her photos. One doctor lent her a 15-foot skiff so she could get closer to the action. Ultimately VKH RZQHG KHU RZQ FKDVH ERDWV Âż QDOO\ RQH ZLWK D Ă€ \LQJ EULGJH DQ LQERDUG PR tor and a head. She never photographed sailboats anywhere but in San Francisco Bay. “All the best boats came to San Fransico Bay,â€? she says. “There was no reason to leave.â€? She photographed classic boats like Hank Easom’s “Yucca,â€? Humphrey Bogart’s “Santana,â€? Sterling Hayden’s “Wandererâ€? and she photographed feisty small sailboats, the Pelican, Golden Gate and Bear class boats of local everymen. Because of her honed artistic habits as a photographer, Beeston’s early paintings weren’t the loose and colorful ones she’s known for today. “I was so photographic when I startHG ´ VKH VD\V Âł, KDG D SDLQWLQJ RQH WLPH RI WKUHH Âż VKLQJ ERDWV tied up in Richardson’s Bay right off Sausalito, and I had it right down to every last block and line.â€? Beeston winces a little at the memory. “But, I thought, I didn’t want to paint that way. I wanted to get looser and looser. You’re better off to have a drink.â€? In that playful spirit she once painted the dumpster, now legendary in some circles and disappeared, at the foot of Sixth Street in Astoria. “Just to liven town up a bit,â€? she says, though a month’s work painting the whimsical underwater scene left her disinclined to paint another dumpster. %HHVWRQ ZKR OLNHV WR Âż QLVK ZKDW VKHÂśV VWDUWHG DQG GRHVQÂśW

Diane Beeston spent 30 years working as a photographer in the San Francisco Bay Area before moving to Astoria in 1988, where she took up painting. Her acrylic painting “Harbor Return� decorates a wall in her home overlooking the Columbia River.

typically work on more than one piece at a time, tends to paint smaller now. She’s turned, too, from oil to acrylic paint, concessions to her limited studio space and limited patience. She uses a digital point-and-shoot camera to capture images to translate to paint. The tedious hours she never enjoyed in a darkroom are history. “I paint because it’s fun,â€? she says. Old Town Framing in Astoria shows her work. She’ll also show those who are curious her studio, by appointment; call 503-325-8622 if you’re interested.

‘a restaurant with inspired creations and exceptional flavors’ Former New York Times restaurant critic Ruth Reichl, when visiting restaurants to review, would famously don elaborate disguises to make sure she was never recognized – and therefore not getting preferential treatment. “I have a really strong belief that I am there to be your eyes and ears when you’re at the restaurant,â€? she once said. “I’m supposed to tell you what’s going to happen to you, not what happens to the restaurant critic of The New York Times.â€? /HW PH Âż UVW TXHOO SRWHQWLDO VQDUNLQHVV , DP certainly not comparing myself to a culinary giant like Ruth Reichl.

I considered this during a recent trip to the new Living Room Wine CafĂŠ in Seaside, where my friends and I were treated with such tremendous and exceptional care, both by our server and by the owner himself, that it briefly crossed my mind that maybe they knew who I was. I’d like to assume instead that everyone who visits is treated with such warmth, because it made for a truly exceptional dining experience, one that makes a person feel ‌ well, special.

We were in the mood for dessert, and I respected our server’s candidness as he explained that the restaurant, still in its infancy, had not yet designed any desserts he deemed worthy, but a pear brandy that he recommended as a dessert substitute was divine. I appreciated his honesty, and I appreciate that a restaurant would rather offer limited dessert selections instead of serving up mediocre selections, until it’s on its feet. After our meal, the owner himself greeted us and spoke excitedly about the new restaurant and his vision for a sophisticated, relaxing space and for fresh, exciting cuisine. He also gave us a tour of the restaurant, and a space that will soon be opened as a tasting room, complete with a handsome wooden wine safe that covers an entire wall. All in all, we had an exceptional experience at the Living Room, and we left feeling valued and singularly cared for. I highly recommend paying the place a visit – no disguise necessary.

SunRose Gallery 606 Broadway SunRose will host the opening artist reception for “Credit Card Art,” an exhibit of mosaics by Bellingham, Wash.-based artist Mari Cardinal Walker, one of the gallery’s most popular artists. One day while cutting up expired credit cards at her kitchen table, Walker noticed how interesting their colors and designs were. The result: a spontaneous mosaic panel. She began collecting old credit cards from family and friends, and as her skills grew, so did her “palette,” expanding with colorful bus passes and gift cards. Her favorite subjects are florals, chickens and coastal life, but much of the time she gets ideas from looking at the cards themselves. She also sites Russian artist Wassily Kandinsky’s colorful abstracts as an influence. She has created nine new panels for the art show.

Five Minutes With ... A Glimpse Inside ELIZABETH BONN-ZIMMERMAN PennyWise Thrift Store An occasional feature by MATT LOVE My relationship with the PennyWise Thrift Store in Warrenton began late last year when I went searching for some new old music on cassette. I walked into the store and was astonished by the number of television sets with VHS tape players and VHS tapes for sale. I met the kindly English proprietor, Patricia Fessler, and struck up a conversation about the television sets and tapes. Did any of them actually sell? “Yes all the time,” she said. She then expounded her theory why: Many people were moving back in with their parents because of hard times, and the parents needed a second or third TV and lots of cheap entertainment content. We kept talking, and I learned that PennyWise is 100 percent volunteer run, all proceeds benefit a halfway house for veterans with PTSD, other adults suffering from bi-polar disorder or short term economic dislocation, and the store hosts about 30 to 40 teenagers a month working off restitution. I said I wanted to purchase some Christmas cards for a creative writing project I intended to teach to a group of middle school students. She walked over to a box, pulled it from the shelf, and handed it to me. It contained 300 or so vintage cards, a truly incredible haul. I’ve got enough for the next half century. “How much?” I said. “Free.” I balked because of PennyWise’s mission, but she waved away my objections and said, “The big man upstairs will provide. Now go do some good work.” And that’s exactly what I did. The PennyWise is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. seven days a week and is located at 737A W. Harbor St. in Warrenton.

Born in Chicaco, this artist moved west when she was 21 and now lives in Seaview, Wash. A printmaker and painter, Bonn-Zimmerman says she’s not happy unless she’s near a large body of water. What art medium(s) do you work in and where do you show your work? I am a printmaker and painter. I became allergic to all solvents many years ago; for a long time I could only do acrylics and watercolor. Now with the new inks and toxic-free atmosphere in the art world, much more is possible. I show my work at Tempo Gallery in Astoria, and I have recently shown at two juried shows at Cannon Beach Gallery, an North Coast Printmakers Collective “Winterprint” show at Astoria’s Riversea Gallery, and in “Pictures at an Exhibition,” a June 2013 juried show at KALA. I consider myself a full time artist since I got my press (two years ago). My work has been changing ever since. How did you get started creating art? I always have done art, no matter what was going on in my life. What subjects or themes do you focus on in your artwork?

Elizabeth Bonn-Zimmerman stands next to “Clairvoyance I,” a monoprint.

Nature, dreams, unconscious images that strike me or resonate deep within me. I love patterns, both repeating forms in nature and man-made ones. What inspires you – in life and in art? Colors, dreams, meditation, the natural world, and other artists and their work. Is there anything you’re currently working on or have recently finished? I have recently finished a series of four monoprints titled “Clairvoyance” and another suite of 20 collagraphs titled “Presence.” The second is at Tempo Gallery.

If you could meet one artist, alive or dead, who would it be and what would you want to know? Russian painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky. I’d like to talk to him about the spiritual in art. Franz Marc, a key figure of the German Expressionist movement, as well – same topic. What’s your favorite thing to do on the North Coast? A walk in nature. It could be by the ocean, in a treed area, a garden. Your motto is: Change your thoughts, change your life.
