Seaside Public Library hosts Olympia author Dee Williams SEASIDE — On Thursday, Aug. 6, the Friends of the Seaside Library will welcome Dee Williams, author of “The Big Tiny.” The event will take place in the Community Room at 7 p.m., and there will be book sales and signings. Dee Williams is a tiny house pioneer who built and moved into her tiny abode in 2004. After a medical emergency, Williams reassessed her priorities and decided that her friends, family and community deserved more time than her dwelling. So she sold her sprawling three-bedroom Portland home and built an 84-square-foot tiny house — on her own. “The Big Tiny: A Built-it-Myself Memoir” is her story. Even though she hadn’t tackled anything like it before, Williams rolled up her sleeves to design and build her own tiny house. The experience reshaped not just her day-to-day activities, but also her confidence that her life really was in her own hands, and she could build the reality she wanted. Today, Williams can list everything she owns on one sheet of paper, her monthly housekeeping bills amount to about eight dollars, and it takes her 10 minutes to clean

the entire house. Adapting a new lifestyle left her with the ultimate luxury — more time to spend with friends and family — and gave her

the freedom to head out for adventure at a moment’s notice or watch a sunset from her tiny deck. Williams’ house, life and book “The Big Tiny” have been featured in The New York Times, L.A. Times, CBS’ “This Morning” and The Weather Channel. She co-founded Portland Alternative Dwellings to help others find the confidence to build the life they dreamed about. Williams lives in Olympia, Washington. Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more information call 503-738-6742 or visit www. seasidelibrary.org

Best foot forward Coastal Life Story by DAN HAAG

Author Connie Soper invites hikers to start ’Exploring the Oregon Coast Trail’

regon author Connie Soper’s new book, “Exploring The Oregon Coast Trail,” wants to help coastal hikers put their best foot forward. To do that, a book launch will be held at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 6 at the Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita. The book is a celebration of wandering purposefully and an absorbing mix of Oregon Coast history and geography. It takes care to give hikers meticulous notes and maps on 40 consecutive day hikes. “It’s a guide for people who want to hike the whole thing, beginning at the Columbia River to the California border,” Soper said. In all, the OCT stretches nearly 400 miles. Submitted photo by Trav Williams Having hiked the Oregon Connie Soper’s new book, “Exploring the Oregon Coast Trail,” serves as the first practical trail guide for the entire Coast Trail (OCT) in sections OCT, outlining in detail 40 day hikes, starting at Fort Stevens State Park and ending at the California border. twice, Soper knows her subject matter well.

Portland author Connie Soper has hiked the entire OCT twice.

Forced to abandon her daughter and move to a reservation known as the Alsea Subagency in 1864, the elderly and blind Amanda suffered greatly during the journey. Now, a statue likeness of Amanda rests along the trail and serves as a reminder of her story. “People leave feathers, and Àowers and beads on the statue,” Soper said. “Every New Year’s Day there’s a ‘Peace Hike’ with a traditional Native American ceremony. It’s a great story of the trail.” Hikers know the feeling of being surrounded by something larger than themselves. In “A Walk In The Woods,” Bill Bryson is awed by his surroundings while hiking: “The world, you realize, is enormous in a way that only you and a small community of fellow hikers know.” With her book ready to hit shelves, Soper hopes it will inspire readers to explore the beautiful, enormous word that is the OCT. “They don’t have to do it the way I did it,” she said. “Go to some new part of the coast you’ve never been, even if it’s just for one day. There’s satisfaction in just doing it.”

‘The trail takes advantage of all the beaches. About half of the entire trail is on the beach.’

ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 8. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits.

ART BUSINESSES

1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Christos Koutsouras, who is known internationally for his use of color to convey delicate yet dramatic atmospheric conditions, brings an extensive collection of large-scale canvases, small impasto paintings and graphite drawings on wood panel for his second solo exhibition at Imogen. Inspiration for this series comes primarily from his time spent at Fort Stevens State Park, with great focus on the permanence of man-made structure within the landscape. Because of the magnitude of this collection, the exhibition will be shown at two locations. Stop by Imogen and then wander around the corner to the gallery’s pop-up space in the Carruthers Building.

artist captures the sparkle and sizzle of summer by the sea and on city streets. Figures are caught in the play of light dancing between sun and water, their interactions blurred and distilled in the bright glare, casting a hint of mystery over every stance and gesture and lifting everyday interactions into the realm of bedazzled stories. Showing in the Alcove is “Scene through Fog,” hand-painted black and white photographs by Astoria artist Donna Lee Rollins. This series explores the nuances of fog-cloaked landscapes with the addition of ethereal color in luminous, transparent layers. The artist is committed to traditional photography techniques, processing in her own darkroom and painstakingly applying

oil glazes to make each print a unique example of her vision. Rollins holds an Master of Fine Arts from Rochester Institute of Technology and has taught photography at universities in New England; she recently moved to Astoria from Maine. 5. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery presents local painter and printmaker Vicki Baker as its featured artist this month. She will show her new series of paintings “Faces and Places.” Baker spends her winters on the Gulf Coast side of Florida and paints in a colorful impressionist style.

KALA 1017 Marine Drive KALA features the work of selected artists in review: collage and figurative paintings by Roger Hayes; graphite on paper by Phil Johnson; collage by Sid Deluca; photography by Leigh Oviatt and linocuts by Stirling Gorsuch.

ALSO FEATURING ORIGINAL ART

8. Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. Luminari Arts presents the work of

Astoria-based international artist Chris Bryant in “From North Coast to Cuba: Plein Air and Pen,” with an opening reception. Raised in Europe and Japan, Bryant has a boundless sense of curiosity and adventure. So, when presented with an opportunity to join a group of artists on a tour of Cuba this past winter, she jumped at the chance. “I’ve been fortunate to spend time in the most famous artistic locations in Europe, Asia, the South Pacific, and the U.S.A.,” Bryant says. “Cuba, however, has all of my favorite artistic ingredients: vintage cars in everyday use, horse-and-buggy transportation, magnificent colonial architecture, lively street and nightclub musicians, colorfully clad people, cobblestone streets lined with pastel-colored buildings. The list is endless!” Bryant used quick pen and ink contour drawings to capture the spirit of the people and musicians; she wielded a

palette knife loaded with thick globs of paint to render vintage cars, pretty wooden boats and romantic cityscapes. Bryant will paint at the gallery in her impressionistic style. 9. Forsythea Home & Garden Arts 1124 Commercial St. Forsythea is chockablock full of delightful art and craft from local and regional artisans. Come by for a look and a visit during second Saturday festivities. 10. Artists Alley at Pier 11 77 11th St. Find multi-media art, jewelry, paintings and more by local artists. 11.

O’Malley’s work remains loyal to the three general painting subjects: portrait, landscape and still life. “I work to fuse together, not just ancient techniques and cultural art styles, but newer, more contemporary ideas to create a painting or sculpture,“ O’Malley says. He chooses the theme or story of a painting from a traditional pool of themes (good vs. evil, love, motherhood, violence, sex, work, religion, etc.). “I paint the emotional side of the subject, stripping away

the detail to its basic nature, simplifying it, so we can feel its naked and vulnerable pain or happiness.� Also find original pieces on display from area artists Randy McClelland, Chris Lee, J. Arthur Kurtti, Keifer Gray and Greg Neitzel. Light refreshments will be served. 14. Pacific Pro Realty 207 12th St. Pacific Pro Realty is showing the work of local painter and photographer David Plechl. 15.

Loose Kaboose

L

The special three-piece Cod Fish and Chips came with four pieces of fried cod, thick French fires and creamy coleslaw.

An American diner as familiar as the back of your hand Let’s be honest: The Loose Kaboose drew me because it’s funky. The greasy spoon diner, which wishes it were housed in an actual train car rather than a double-wide trailer, is on the south end of Long Beach. The sign boasts a little of everything: Âż VK DQG FKLSV R\VWHUV EXUJHUV FKRZGHU VWHDN DQG SL]]D , Âż JXUHG LW ZDV DW OHDVW ZRUWK D ORRN It was, as I hoped and suspected, kitschy and perhaps of another time — one much belying a mid-90s opening. (The restaurant has changed owners since, I’m told). Just the same, The Loose Kaboose would’ve been similarly — or more earnestly — at home overlooking a bowling alley in 1985. Trot up the few stairs through the front door, DQG Âż QG \RXUVHOI LQ WKH NLWFKHQ 7R WKH OHIW LV the darkly carpeted dining room. It’s curated roughly; most every inch of surface is coated in something or another. The tables feature cutout Xeroxes of old newspapers and tabloids, detailing railroad and oceanic lore. Dollar bills are stapled all over the walls and ceilings. Most have been drawn on. Some of the currencies are foreign. (Eventually, the sign says, the money moves on to support the local Boys and Girls Club.) A model train track rings the ceiling, appearing as if it hasn’t moved in years. It is matched with a myriad of rail memorabilia, from old signage to train tapestries, paintings, photos, drapes and wallpaper. There are, too, odd jokes, like the laminated poster of “Hobo Signs and Symbolsâ€? and the mock “Model Railroad 'LVHDVH´ Ă€ \HU ,W ZDV GXVW\ ZHLUG DQG PRUH HQ gaging than sterility. (Also: not for fainthearted neat freaks.) Though he dressed the part of neither, my sever doubled as cook. I appreciated his brusque, no-nonsense, devil-may-care attitude.

essentially the story of all the Loose Kaboose’s ingredients in a nutshell: OK.) The French fries were thick and attentively cooked. The coleslaw was creamy and mayo-heavy, slightly sweet with a dash of pepper. Together the plate of food was substantial. The one-third-pound Burger ($6.95) was recommended, and I enjoyed it even though it retained — and then dispensed — all together too much liquid. One bite caused a rain of light grease to cascade onto the plate. Still, the preformed frozen patty was thick, cooked through, and served on a fresh, thick and soft bun with ample roughage. There was everything you might expect: lettuce, tomatoes, onions, pickles, cheese and mayo. Like the fries, the accompanying onion rings were well cooked — a crunchy outer seal and a soft, juicy, oily inner. A small pizza (9 inches, $8.99 with three toppings) was doughy and no more than the sum of its parts. The marinara sauce was sweet and bland. I appreciated the two layers of cheese — one over the sauce with another sprinkling atop the ingredients. And while little had stood head and shoulders above the rest of the menu at the Loose Kaboose, there are much

The Clubhouse ($8.95) was a take on the traditional club that added ham. Particularly assembled on three pieces of white bread with slices of American and Swiss cheese in between the turkey and ham, the top half was like a BLT with ham, turkey and cheeses down below. The bacon was freshly cooked and the helping of sliced ham was generous but the Clubhouse was again no more than the sum of its parts. The Rainbow Rueben ($8.95), however, achieved some distinction. While not staggering, it came together better than anything

They have exhibited their work throughout the United States and Europe and have given seminars in art gatherings in the American West, Germany and Ireland. Bob Kizziar works with clay, creating exciting forms from 6-foot-tall columnar pieces to small complex pots. His outstanding surfaces are his signature. Ex-

Jenny Kizziar originally worked with porcelain, producing delicate pots and small pieces, but was always drawn to weavLQJ %RE ERXJKW KHU D ORRP ÂżYH years ago, and she started producing work that she felt was at last expressing her artistic vision. She uses soft, muted colors and a wide YDULHW\ RI ÂżEHUV FUHDWLQJ HOHJDQW pieces of wearable art. There will be an opening reception from 1 to 3 p.m. Saturday,

Christos Koutsouras puts coastal dark seasons on canvas ‘Accessible To All’ art show opens at Imogen Gallery and Carruthers Building ASTORIA — Imogen Gallery announces a two-fold event. Artist Christos Koutsouras, who likes to work on a large scale, has put together a powerful body of work for his newest series, “Accessible To All.” Because of the magnitude of this collection, the exhibition will be shown at two locations: at Imogen Gallery and in a popup space located in the Carruthers Building at 1198 Commercial St. All are invited to a preview party from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 7 at the Carruthers Building pop-up space. Then, both spaces will participate in Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk on Aug. 8 (see page 10). Born in Greece, Koutsouras found his way to the lower banks of the Columbia River in 2010, in search of a place to create a series of work for his second solo exhibition at the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art. His intent was simple: to stay six months for an intensive period of painting, creating a body of work inspired by the Paci¿c 2cean. This place of conÀuence took hold, and, like an anchor dropped from a freighter, here Koutsouras remains, still ¿nding inspiration in the currents that move land, sea and sky. “Accessible To All” encompasses his visual notes of a landscape that has profoundly marked his work.

“Over the River” by Christos Koutsouras at Imogen Gallery.

Known internationally for his use of color to convey delicate yet dramatic atmospheric conditions, Koutsouras brings an extensive collection of large-scale canvases, small impasto paintings and graphite drawings on wood panel for his second solo exhibition at Imogen. Inspiration for this series comes primarily from his time spent at Fort Stevens State Park, with great focus on the permanence of man-made structures within the landscape. Koutsouras’ attention was captivated by one location of Fort Stevens, speci¿cally the parking area near the famed shipwreck of the Peter Iredale. He visited this location

almost daily for nearly a year, taking in the ¿rst light of day or watching daylight slip into darkness. He studied the subtlety of concentration of light during winter storms. The dramatic unfolding of weather and dunes surrounded one particular building, seemingly caught in an eddy of unseen current. Local collector Timothy Dalrymple was invited to write about the series. “It is here that the Columbia River collides with the Paci¿c 2cean, a place some say of mystery and secrets. Local residents and regular visitors to this historic place know the bright blues, greens, and sunny yellow whites of sands, sea, and the blacks of

the massive South Jetty in spring and summer,” Dalrymple writes. “In previous works such as ‘Remains of The Day’ and ‘Kyma,’ Koutsouras has captured these seasons through

color. But then there comes late fall, winter and early spring, with wild storms, winds, seas: the dark seasons. Fog, sheets of rain, Everest-high black clouds dominate these times. Koutsouras’ recent work is his emotional response to this chaos expressed in masterful techniTue re¿ned over decades of hard, tough, thoughtful work. “These new paintings require that we look into them not as carnival-goers at a gallery opening. We must be collaborative with Koutsouras in nature’s drama. These paintings demand our engagement. To appreciate the work we must do our own work, identifying important images, shapes, spaces that carry the artist’s message and meaning.” Koutsouras’ career has been as vast as the landscape he portrays. His desire to become an artist was apparent since childhood; however, that was not enough to convince his stonemason father it was a viable career choice. Subsequently, Koutsouras left his island home

of Samos to become a merchant marine and travel the world. He excelled in his chosen profession and quickly rose to the rank of 3rd mate on the ship he called home. Not feeling ful¿lled with his life as a seaman, Koutsouras answered his true calling, and jumped ship while in port in Ireland. From there he made his way to Berlin and enrolled in art school, tipping off the beginning of a remarkable career. He quickly became recognized and respected for his exquisite and subtle use of color and with that came commissions to do large-scale paintings for cathedrals, murals and other public art. 2ne such project was a mural at the East Side Gallery, in Berlin, where a monument of freedom was established when the Berlin Wall came down. There he was given a 30-foot-long portion of what remains of the wall to create a statement of peace. Imogen Gallery is located at 240 11th St. For more information, call 503-468-0620 or visit www.imogengallery.com

Haystack [he•stæk] noun 1. (Agriculture) a large pile of hay covered with thatch or other material with plenty of ventilation for drying 2. Haystack Rock: this 235-foot sea stack juts out of Tolovana Beach near the southern end of Cannon Beach and can be approached by foot during low tide. Designated a protected Marine Garden by U.S. Fish and Wildlife since 1990, this massive intertidal monolith is home to many sea birds and mammals and has appeared in numerous films, photographs and paintings Origin: Hay enters before 1200 as hei by way of the Old English hēg, which referred to grass cut specifically for fodder. The compound haystack was commonly combined by 1450 during the late Middle English period. The monolith takes its name from its resemblance to the agricultural pile. References date back to the late 19th century. A

U.S.G.S report dating from 1980 mentions that the sea stack was at some time called Inspiration Point. Haystack Rock in Cannon Beach is one of six natural rock formations in Oregon registered with that specific name; two others are present on the Oregon Coast, at Pacific City in Tillamook County and in Coos County near Bandon. The Clatsop County Haystack is surrounded by smaller rock formations known as “The Needles” in reference to the idiomatic phrase, “like finding a needle in the haystack.”

“In 1968, the rock became a liability. Visiting tourists, who fancied themselves rock climbers, continually stranded themselves upon the rock. Rescuers had grown tired of this almost daily event. As a solution, Haystack Rock was blasted in such a way to make it inaccessible to climbers or climbing enthusiasts.” —Elaine Murdy, “ The Seven Wonders of Cannon Beach – Haystack Rock,” Cannon Beach Gazette, Aug. 29, 2014, P. A4 “Rock formations, rugged and weather scarred, break the shore line. There is Haystack rock, the Needles, Silver point, Arch cape, Jockey cap, Humbug, Hug point—the names are simple ones, but they are eminently expressive of the appearance of these formations.” —Charles E. Gratke, “Cannon Beach,” The Sunday Oregonian, July 12, 1925, P. 1

Oregon. Surrounded by waterfalls, the picturesque scene is likened to Rivendell, the home of the elf Elrond in “The Lord of the Rings” series. It makes a nice shout out to our home state.

ly relocated to Portland. Perhaps this is why a new ghost story, “The Prospectors,” which appeared in The New Yorker’s summer fiction issue is set in Depression-era Oregon. It is available to read for free on the New Yorker’s website. In an interview on the magazine’s blog, Russell had this to say while discussing the landscape of her new home state, “Astoria seems to exist in the palette of memory; it sort of ghosts away and reasserts itself with the changing light.”

“The Little Paris Bookshop” by Nina George

Crown, 1st Edition, 2015 Recommended by: Alex Brandon of Beach Books in Seaside Plot Notes: In the title story of her excellent second collection, a pair of centuries-old vampires retire to a lemon grove in Sorrento, Italy where they drain armfuls of sour citrus to satiate their thirst for blood, though at least one of them may harbor a desire for more. Here, too, you will find imprisoned women in feudal Japan transformed into silkworms only to be robbed of their thread and schoolyard bullies confronted by a scarecrow that looks an awful lot like the boy they used to terrorize before he one day disappeared. Take Away: Armed with a poet’s sense of metaphor and other verbal pyrotechnics, Russell invokes impossible worlds rendered in lush, descriptive prose in these stories. These aren’t worlds you’ve seen before, but they wring emotional truths that feel at home in our own dimension. Many of her narrators are young, and these stories brim with humor and keen observation. I would gladly enter any world Russell asks me to. Recommended For: Fans of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Gunter Grass, Aimee Bender and Kelly Link. Verbose teens may also apply. Bonus: Russell, a recipient of a MacArthur “genius” grant and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, recent-

A love letter to books: Monsieur Perdu owns the titular bookshop in George’s 26th novel, which happens to be located on a barge floating on the Seine in the middle of Paris. Not one to sling the latest bestseller, Perdu considers his shop to be a “book apothecary,” Brandon said, his quest being to find books that will heal his readers. Adventure comes when the appearance of a lost love letter unmoors Perdu’s shop and he travels down the Seine through the French countryside with two cohorts in tow. “It’s just one of those nice summer reads,” Brandon said. “It is a love letter to books.”

1980s mania: Reality in 2044 is depressing and ugly: famine, no jobs, natural disasters. But the virtual world offered by the OASIS? Exciting. Magical. Paradise. The OASIS, designed by the late video game genius, billionaire and 1980s-obsessed uber-geek James Halliday, is humanity’s favorite toy — people spend most of their days inside it, designing the perfect avatar, exploring new worlds and having fun. Before he died, Halliday hid three keys inside the OASIS that lead to a hidden Easter egg; the first person who finds it will inherit his vast fortune and control of the OASIS. Poor 18-year-old Wade Watts dreams of finding the egg. He spends his days going to school in the OASIS and studying clues left behind by Halliday. Until one day, his quest for the keys begins in earnest. Recommended For: Fans of the ’80s (movies, music, culture, etc.), classic video games, sci-fi and adventure. Bonus: At one point in the book, Wade makes his way to a mansion set at the base of the Wallowa Mountains in

Dating can be hard: In his debut book, comic Aziz Ansari (alum of “Parks and Rec”) teams up with NYU sociologist Eric Klinenberg to delve into the topic of why love can be so confusing in the digital age. Young people today marry later, are looking for a soul mate, and have thousands of choices at their disposal; sorting through them can be tough. As expected, technology plays a part: Online dating websites, dating apps like Tinder, texting, sexting, emoticons — all are tools prior generations didn’t have. Ansari and Klinenberg interview young people, parents and grandparents in small towns and big cities, anonymous Internet users on Reddit, and even venture across the world to Tokyo and Buenos Aires. It makes for an interesting, often hilarious take on the tragedies and triumphs of modern love.
