Coastal Life Summer tennis Story and photos by MATT LOVE

Though tennis has declined in popularity, it remains a fantastic recreational sport for people of all ages – and you can easily find a court nearby on the North Coast

I One of tennis’ major attractions is that it doesn’t require a lot of shiny REI gear, exorbitant greens fees, or lengthy drives to the ski resorts.

In the heyday of its popularity during the 1970s and early 1980s, 35 million Americans played tennis, and cities around the country built thousands of public courts to accommodate the boom. 7KHVH ZHUH WKH JROGHQ \HDUV RI ¿ HU\ rivalries between Connors, McEnroe and Borg; the placid domination by Chris Evert and the feminist landmark when Billie Jean King routed Bobby Riggs in the Battle of the Sexes on prime-time television while Howard Cosell provided the color commentary. Nearly four decades later, according to surveys, barely 20 million people report they play tennis on a regular basis, and a majority of the participants are middle aged or older. Many Americans of certain generations once enjoyed playing tennis but abandoned the sport as cultural tastes changed. They stashed their rackets in garages or attics and forgot about all the good times they had on the courts. As for the balls, well, they went to the dogs, or yoga studios reclaimed them for healing foot pain. Experts have advanced all sorts of theories to explain the sharp decline of tennis’ popularity. Regardless of the reasons, it remains a fantastic recreational sport for people of all ages. Tennis boasts a wonderful versatility as a pastime. It can be competitive or not. You can keep score or not. You can talk during play or remain silent. You can play with great intensity or languid leisure. You can wear almost anything playing tennis. You can play singles or doubles or practice on a backboard by yourself. Men, women and children can team together. Grandparents can rally with their grandchildren. A 90-year-old woman and a 9-year old boy can hit balls. ,WœV D JUHDW ORZ NH\ ¿ UVW GDWH RU PDU ried couples can play a match to see who has to mow the lawn.

Tennis boasts a wonderful versatility as a pastime. You can keep score or not. You can wear almost anything. You can play singles or doubles or practice on a backboard by yourself. All a person needs to play tennis is a racket and balls. The golden years of tennis were the 1970s and early 1980s – but you can still enjoy the sport today.

zle. You can play for 30 minutes or three hours, and it always costs the same on public courts – free. One of tennis’ major attractions is that it doesn’t require a lot of shiny REI gear, exorbitant greens fees, or lengthy drives to the ski resorts. All a person needs is a racket and balls.

Manzanita, Cannon Beach and Gearhart all have outstanding public courts, the best on the Oregon Coast, with modern surfaces and outdoor lighting. Asto-

For those who like their tennis even more on the wild side, (meaning a cracked concrete surface and zany bounces) try Seaside’s one dilapidated public court near the high school. To the recreational player or true beginner, the condition of the court hardly matters. What does is getting out there, swinging a racket, moving this way and that, breaking a sweat, breathing fresh air, talking up good shots, and laughing off the PLV¿ UHV 7U\ LW

Find Northwest sound at Fort George Marshall McLean Band merges folk, rock, Americana ASTORIA — The Marshall McLean Band was born out of the Northwest, and it carries with it the unique sound that is becoming distinct to this part of the country. The four-piece band, based out of Spokane, Washington, has brought forth a fresh idea: that one can merge elements of thoughtful songwriting in folk, the driving force of rock, and the melodic accessibility of Americana and carve out a new genre – a kind of Northwest Americana Rock.

It was called “oriental danceâ€? when introduced to the West in the 19th century, but it didn’t catch on until the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, where they called it “danse du ventre.â€? Women from Syria, Turkey and Algeria gyrated their hips and seductively undulated their uncorsetted torsos. People were shocked. Public morality was at risk. In short, the “danseâ€? was a sensation, and Little Egypt was a star. The French was translated to English, and “belly danceâ€? spread across America. 7KLV 6DWXUGD\ DQG 6XQGD\ \RXÂśOO Âż QG LW LQ Ilwaco, Washington, with over 50 dancers and musicians performing at the Beach Belly Dance Festival: Waves of Inspiration 2014.

Whether you come for an hour or day, \RXÂśOO Âż QG VRPHWKLQJ ZHOO worth your time, according to festival organizer and belly dancer extraordinaire Var’Yin Parham. But there’s more to belly dance than meets the eye (even though there is a lot that meets the eye), and so a primer on what to look for will increase your appreciation of this ancient folk dance. First, “belly danceâ€? is something of a misnomer. The dance is primarily torso-driven with an emphasis on movements of the hips, and it frequently involves isolation of different parts of the body. A good dancer has superlative core strength and excellent posture, although the audience rarely watches belly dance for posture. Another misconception about belly dance, if you are so unfortunate as to have never seen the real thing, is that a lot of the dancer’s body is bare. It isn’t. In fact, belly dance is a good argument that sensuality lies more

in mystery than in the bare facts. The most common costume is the “bedlahâ€? (Arabic for ÂłVXLW´ ZKLFK LQFOXGHV D Âż WWHG WRS RU EUD D KLS belt with coins and/or other decorations, and a full-length skirt and/or harem pants. Other DFFRXWUHPHQWV PD\ LQFOXGH D YHLO ]LOV Âż QJHU cymbals), or a sword. There are three basic types of movements in belly dance: 1. Percussive. These are staccato movements, usually of the hips, to accentuate drum rhythms. This includes hip drops (also lifts, twists, and about anything else you can do with hips). The Arabian horse step is also included here, in which, Parham says, “The upper torso goes in one direction while the hips and all the action goes in the other direction.â€? Moves called “popsâ€? and “locksâ€? can be done with either the hips or the upper torso. A pop is when the upper torso, for example, is thrust forward and then brought back; a lock is when it is thrust forward with an intense hard stop that is held. 2. Sinuous. These are Ă€ RZLQJ PRYHPHQWV 2IWHQ the entire body is in motion, or the hips may move in loops or circles. The hips and abdomen may undulate, or in the dancer may slide an arm across the lower face, revealing only the eyes as the head moves. Often these moves are transitions from one part of a dance to the next. 3. Shimmies. These are small, fast movements of the hips and rib cage, often layered over other forms of movement. In the Egyptian shimmy, according to Parham, “the hips move rapidly up and down while isolated from the rest of the body.â€? That description may be accurate, but it does not do justice to a good shimmy, which happens with the dancer’s body in unusual positions, to say the

The characters will not speak about their trip back home or historical events that happened after making salt in Seaside. The public is encouraged to ask questions about the journey west, where the men are from, if they are enjoying the new fron-

Chuck Albright sits down to enjoy Astoria Parks and Recreation’s screening of “Despicable Me 2� with his daughter Claire, 14, as part of Movies in the Park. The movie is the first of four family-friendly movies that will play at Astoria’s Fred Lindstrom Park Wednesdays in August.

A young woman in a bright blue Parks & Rec T-shirt catalogued concessions atop a pair of collapsible tables – cans of soda, bottles of water, a rainbow of colorful plastic containers full of radioactive-bright snow cone syrup. Everything is just a buck. A young boy lumbered down the shallow hill from the playground and sheepishly asked Reilly if the movie tonight was free. Reilly looked up from the cords and connections she was sorting in front of the sound mixer and told him yes, of course. “What we need out there is a big banner that says, ‘Free Movie,’â€? she said. Though, with this kind of turnout, the banner might not be necessary. Around 8:45 p.m., the Blu-ray player, actually a Playstation 3, started projecting and looped through a series of trailers as Parks Director Angela Cosby emceed a round of parks-related trivia while waiting for the last light to die, plugged the Astoria Recreational Center’s recent move to the former Astoria Yacht Club site, and offered the kiddos who found a correct answer one swipe at a free item from concessions. The popcorn machine hissed and spit steam, hardly able to keep up with the demand of the line. Chuck Albright, a third grade teacher at Gearhart Elementary, brought his son, Daniel, and Daniel’s friend, Kaden, both 9. Albright was joined by his daughter, Claire, 14, who was sleeping over at a friend’s house but had still managed to make her way to the park with her friends. The Albrights had already seen “Despicable Me 2â€? while on its short run at the Columbian Theater last year, but that didn’t dismay them from coming out to the park. They have attended a few screenings of Movies in the Park over the last few years. “The great thing about it,â€? Albright said. “Is that it is family movies. Those are the kind of movies we watch a lot of at our house.â€? When the movie began at 8:53 p.m., the crowd quieted a little. This event isn’t constrained by multiplex rules.

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: Open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily. PRICES: These are truly rock-bottom prices. From drinks to dining, the prices are nearly all under $10 (except for pizzas). SERVICE: The service is partly what bumps up my star rating, because our server was so warm, so friendly, so accommodating, and so caring, that it made me legitimately feel welcome.

ATMOSPHERE: Don’t expect white tablecloths and candlelight, but do expect fun, kitschy signs, about 300 baseball hats hanging from the ceiling, and a fantastic juke box with a wide selection of old favorites. ALTERNATIVE OPTION: The menu isn’t terribly lengthy, but there’s at least a green salad, and a cheese quesadilla, if meat is not part of your diet. DRINKS: Soft drinks, beer, wine and a full bar.

Former Astorian on tour with blues legend Bill Magee Blues Band plays The Birk BIRKENFELD — You’re on tour in a well-known blues band, and the tour route passes pretty close to your home town. Do you jump on board to book a gig? That’s what 1973 Astoria High School graduate Guy Cariglio did. Look for Cariglio drumming away in the Bill Magee Blues Band, playing a 6:30 p.m. show Wednesday, Aug. 20 at the Birk. The Birk, a former country store turned roadhouse restaurant, is a stopping point for many national touring acts and top regional bands. The venue is located at 11139 Oregon Highway 202. The band went on tour July 30 in Laguna Beach, California, and the tour includes stops in Utah; Idaho; Montana; Alberta, Canada; Oregon and back to California. “When I heard that the last leg of our tour was going through Oregon, I contacted our agent and asked him to see about booking us at The Birk,” Cariglio said. “I’m really looking forward to playing The Birk and seeing many old friends.” Cariglio began his musical roots as a member of the Sunsetters Drum and Bugle Corps in Astoria and played around Astoria and Seaside with re-

gional bands such as The Rhythm Rockets, The Sage Brothers Band and Swingshift. Relocating to the Boston area in 1987 was a “big boost to my drumming career,” Cariglio said. “I was able to play with some amazing musicians.” One of those bands, Lucille and the Steamers, became one of the most popular bands during the 1990s in and around New England. The band’s 1996 debut CD received rave reviews and was spotlighted on many Boston radio stations. Moving to San Diego in 2001, Cariglio hooked up with Conqueroot recording artist Whitey Conwell and the Tone Kings. Cariglio then met Bill

He and the other guitarist in the band proceeded to tear the roof off the joint and became fast friends. Soon they formed their own band, Jimmy James and the Flames. A record producer discovered Jimmy James and took him to Europe. Jimmy James went back to his real name of Jimi Hendrix and changed the future of music. Magee formed his own band called The Kansas City Playboys and toured the world. Although he never reached the status of Hendrix, Magee carved out a name for himself in the blues world. He played with James Brown, Otis Redding, BB King, Jimmy Reed and many others over the years before retiring to raise a family. Magee and his family relocated to San Diego in the 1980s, and he soon felt the urge to play again. He formed The Bill Magee Blues Band in 1993 and has been tearing up stages in Southern California ever since.

Get to know Dustin Hamman, frontman of the ever-evolving Portland-based band Run On Sentence, who will be playing at the Sou’Wester Lodge at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 16. Run On Sentence’s latest album, “Feelings,” is available for sale or streaming at runonsentencemusic.com You’ve said that American roots music – blues, jazz, folk, among others – has had a major influence on you. How do these styles inform your songwriting? I try not to over-think music, but I’ve listened to a lot of styles over the years, and any time I get really into something it seems to come out in my own work. I guess when I started writing songs, I happened to be into those styles, so they definitely informed my process as I was learning and will probably always have an impact on how I write. However, I continue to listen to a variety of music and hope that it’s ever evolving. You can certainly find a lot of disparate styles at play on a song like “Albion” off your new record, “Feelings.” Off the top of my head, I can hear some Motown and early country & western in the guitar, and the structure is reminiscent of ’90s-era indie rock anthems. Do you have a favorite blues or R&B guitarist? A favorite folk singer? My first and favorite major folk influence was Simon Joyner. He’s a little older than I am, but he was performing a lot around Omaha (Nebraska) when I was growing up there. He was more of a folk/punk guy I guess, and I was mostly listening to punk rock when I first heard him. My interest in him opened me up to acoustic music, and I started to appreciate folks like John Prine and Willie Nelson. As for guitarists, most of those parts on the record were written by Kyle Reid, who played them on the album. He also played most of the bass parts on the record. I’m not sure who his influences are, but Kyle is definitely in my top 10 favorite guitarists somewhere between Billy Zoom and Prince. Percussion seems to play a pivotal, dramatic role on your albums, especially on “Feelings.” Sometimes the absence or anticipation of percussion to come, that slow build up towards crescendo creates an almost theatrical atmosphere in which the songs unfold. What

role does percussion play in your songwriting process? The longer I do this, the more I realize how important percussion is to my process. Rhythm has been beating in our hearts since the dawn of humanity. For thousands of years, we’ve used it as means of impacting the physical and emotional states of ourselves and others. Its pace, intensity and even its absence have incredible power. I guess some people use percussion solely as a way of “keeping time,” but to me it’s the most innate way to translate emotions among people. Luckily for me, I’ve worked with some amazing drummers and percussionists who happen to be great translators as well. Did scoring the film “Beneath the Harvest Sky” in 2012 educate you in any way about the dramatic possibilities of a piece of music? Absolutely. It was one of the most eye-opening musical projects I’ve ever worked on. Watching the same piece of film multiple times, with different music playing each time, will show you just how dramatic a difference it makes. I really hope to do more scoring in the near future. It’s made me a better all-around musician for sure. You seem to really run the gambit as a live performer – just as comfortable as a solo act as conducting the chaos of a 12-piece ensemble. How do these performances differ for you? Do the same songs take on different moods and meaning when played alone or with 30 of your closest friends on stage? And what should we

expect accompaniment-wise for your upcoming Aug. 16 appearance at the Sou’Wester? I really try to write all my songs so that they can stand up well if it’s just me. Adding a bunch of band members is just an extremely fun way to play with the form and see how many layers we can pile on before chaos ensues. I really do love both. It’s looking like this Saturday will just be me, which I’m really looking forward to. As much as I love playing with my band, there’s something about the Sou’Wester that makes me really want to do a more intimate show. While I’ve not done an “official” show there before, I have sat around the campfire there singing, and that’s about as close as we can get to the way I wrote most of these songs: sitting outside in the night, listening to the oldest sounds of the world, waiting for a song to come through. I love sharing that experience with other people. In your bio, you state, “Run On Sentence songs are petrogylphs, carved out after Dustin spent a lot of time on windswept bluffs just listening and watching.” How does the ocean and the Columbia Pacific inspire you as a musician and lyricist? Well, for the record, Nick Jaina wrote that, but I do spend a lot of time alone in nature, and I’ve always found the area surrounding the mouth of the Columbia particularly inspiring. The coastline around there is so beautiful and heavy, and the ocean seems infinite. I don’t know “how” it inspires me as a musician and lyricist, but it seems like there are stories and melodies flying around on the breeze, and if I sit for a long time and listen, I will eventually be able hear them, or at least bits and pieces of them. When I’ve picked up as many pieces as I can find, I just try to fill in the gaps on my own. Sorry if that sounds too “woo-wooey”; I just don’t know how else to explain it. Well, I have to ask: How is the music business these days for an independent artist? You seem to have embraced the Internet to connect with fans and get your music out there, but is there any dark side to the amount of technology involved in being a working band? I don’t think of myself as being very good at the business side. I certainly never wanted to be a “businessman,” but since no one else has offered to handle that aspect for me, I’ve just been learning to do it myself over the years. It still amounts to a pretty meager financial existence, but luckily, it’s rich in many other ways. The technology aspect has been hard to embrace, but I want to share the songs and myself with other people. Unfortunately that seems best achieved by being socially active on the Internet, so I try to stick with it. It eats up a lot of time I’d rather spend working on music though, and too much time on the computer will definitely take me to the dark side, so finding the right balance is key.

Spit [‘spIt] noun 1. a long, slender metal rod or branch injected through a piece of meat for the purpose of roasting, often over an open flame 2. a long, narrow shoal found off coasts and often visible at low tide; a sandspit is a deposit built up into a landform connected to a head on one end and extending into the nose on the other Origin: From the Old English, spitu, and the Middle English, spite. In use before 1000 A.D. Cognate with the Old German, spiz, meaning spit, and spizzi, meaning pointed the Middle Dutch, spet, the Swedish, spett, and Danish, spid, all from the Proto-Germanic, spituz. “Today from the sands of Clatsop Spit, just south of the Columbia River’s mouth, protrude only a few rusting metal ribs and bones of what was once a proud and graceful four-master, the Peter Iredale.”

—Rowena L. Alcorn and Gordon D. Alcorn, “The Wreck of the ‘Peter Iredale,’” Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol. 64, No. 1, March 1963 “And so the bones of the gallant little Peacock were buried in the sands now bearing her name, Peacock Spit. Feared and cursed by mariners the world over, Peacock Spit, a demon of tragedy, has become a grim reminder of death and a pass-word of horror to the sailors of all nations.”
