WINTER HIKING IS A

Coastal Life

DIFFERENT KIND

OF BEAUTIFUL W

Story by DAN HAAG

ith the onset of rain and wind, we take stock of what winter represents: perhaps a needed vacation, or settling down with a stack of books. But don’t let wet weather dampen your sense of adventure, because the Oregon Coast’s beauty is not limited by season. Unlike our East Coast friends, we don’t need a snowblower to venture outdoors. Hiking in the winter rewards you with empty trails and a serenity you won’t ¿nd in -uly or $ugust. Two nearby hikes are particularly inviting. Perched between Manzanita and Cannon Beach, Oswald West State Park is boundlessly beautiful: winding trails, lush undergrowth, regal trees, and vistas of sea and sand. Stretching along four miles of coastline between $rch Cape and 1eah-.ah-1ie Mountain, this 2,500-acre preserve is a place of quiet contemplation and regenerative power. Plentiful trails offer green rain cover and a cool embrace. One spirals up 1eah-.ah-1ie Mountain for magni¿cent views of winter storms building over the Paci¿c. $nother stretches between Cape )alcon and $rch Cape. The 2-mile Cape Falcon Trail begins at the northwest parking lot along U.S. Highway 101. The most accessible trail, it winds through old growth. On a clear winter day at Cape Falcon, you can see north to Tillamook Head and south to Cape Lookout. $nother trail in the park, starting from a south parking lot, leads you to Short Sand Beach; a spur trail also connect the Cape Falcon Trial to the beach. Here lies the park’s essence; trees straight out of Tolkein, pounding waves and supplies for driftwood fort-building. $ popular cove with surfers, several are always bobbing in the waves. $ popular park in the summer, Oswald West quiets considerably in the fall and winter, anticipating thundering surf and lashing wind. The hissing rain on the emerald canopy adds a tranquility found only outdoors in a coastal winter. $ few miles north of Oswald West lies Ecola Creek Forest Reserve, which encompasses the north and west forks of Ecola Creek. Tucked away from Cannon Beach to the east of U.S. Highway 101, the reserve is as quiet as the surface of the

moon in the winter months. The splatter of rain drops on ferns and gravel crunching beneath your boots may be the only sounds you hear. Hikers start at the end of Elk Creek Road and pass beneath towering red cedars. $ gate bars motorized vehicles and a small information kiosk shows the way. The road rises and falls through Sitka spruce, clear cuts now overtaken by alders, spruce and hemlock, and the constant burble of Ecola Creek’s west fork. You’ll come to a road rising to the right. Head uphill to another information kiosk above a city water treatment facility. Turn right down the slope, cross a short bridge, and head deeper into a lush forest of spruce and cedar rising from a carpet of brilliant green ferns. The trees offer ample cover from all but the heaviest rainfall, though the trail is often muddy and alive with skittering newts. Eventually, you’ll come to a chip trail with a marker pointing up through the forest. $t the top lies an old logging road, which loops back toward the power lines. If you’re still feeling adventurous, head down under power lines and for the West Fork. Though relatively easy to ford across in the summer, increased winter rains make it risky, more so with the creek’s slick, muddy banks. Spare your boots and save the crossing for a hot summer day — it’s time to head back, dry off, and get into that stack of books. Whatever trail you wander this winter, go prepared. Some trailheads charge a small day use fee, and hikes are well worth the price of admission. .eep an eye on weather conditions before you set out. $ sturdy rain Macket is a must, as are wellworn, water-repellant boots. Do your dogs a favor and bring them along: They get cabin fever, too. Remember, leashes are required at both Oswald West State Park and the Ecola Creek Forest Reserve. $dd a few basics such as water, light snacks, a Àashlight and a cell phone. Most importantly, let someone know your route and destination, as cell reception can be spotty in the forest. Don’t let the rain put a halt to trailblazing. Heed the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson, and hike enough to ensure “the strength of the shoe leather has passed into the ¿ber of your body.´

Hiking in the winter rewards you with empty trails and a serenity you won’t find in July or August.

exhibits “The Photographic Nude 2016â€? and “Mortal Templesâ€? with an artists’ reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13. This is the sixth year of the annual international juried exhibit, a collection of photographic prints exploring the artistic and creative view of the body and its form, dedicated to the creative spirit of photographer Ruth Bernhard. In association with “The Photographic Nude 2016,â€? James Wigger of Portland was selected by the gallery to be the featured artist this year with his exhibit “Mortal Temples.â€? LightBox directors Michael and Chelsea Granger developed “The Photographic Nude“ series to reveal compelling imagery and the mastery of the medium, as well as to foster appreciation of the nude in the photographic medium. This year, the Grangers juried the images for the exhibit, allowing them to give their personal touch to the exhibit, which they began in 2010. This year’s exhibit consists of work from photographic artists from around the globe, including Russia and Germany, with a total of 50 images selected for the exhibit. LightBox developed this exhibit to bring further recognition to the photographic medium and the artists who practice the art with the theme of the nude, and in order to advance a better understanding of the historical theme in the photographic art form. Also opening in the gallery is “Mortal Temples,â€? an exhibit of alternative imagery of the nude by Wigger. Wigger is a photographer ZKRVH ZRUN UHĂ€HFWV KLV IDVFLnation with what lies just out of reach.

SUGAR DETOX CREATES CHALLENGES WHEN EATING OUT

I

I recently spent 10 days doing something heretofore unheard of: I cut sugar from my diet. And not just sweets, but foods that metabolize into sugar — foods like bread, potatoes, beans and cheese. I did it by following a program laid out by Seaside’s Jennifer Visser, owner of The Healthy Hub, who invited the community, free of charge, to join in. In short, the diet — and I hate that word and its Àimsy attachments — is a lot like going paleo, but more hardcore. Mostly I was eating two things: meats and vegetables. I detoxed for two reasons: in hopes of deepening my relationship with and understanding of food, and to gauge potential health bene¿ts. Besides needing to lose 10 pounds — which I did, very quickly — I have a longstanding ailment, plantar fasciitis. A naturopathic doctor (who was also giving me rounds of injections) said my pain could be chalked up, in part, to inÀammation. 5educing sugars in my diet, he said, could relieve the intense pain I’ve felt in my feet every day for the last few years. The bene¿ts of the eating regimen appeared almost immediately: I was getting more nutrients and eating less. I had more energy and my body was tight and trim. How quickly I dropped the bloat — and a belt loop — was astounding. I slept better. As for my feet, well, they’re less painful, and hopefully mending, but I’m loath yet to say, after years of discomfort, that I have healed. Going sugarless meant a lot more cooking, which was partially great. I was paying more attention to what I consumed — did you know, for instance, that just about every sausage and hot dog at the grocery store contains corn syrup? But there were times I just didn’t have the patience to cook. I’d been busy and wanted to be taken care of. So I went out, dining with dietary restrictions for the ¿rst time. My ¿rst meal out was at the &annon Beach Hardware Store & Public House. After a solid week without leaving the kitchen, being waited on and cooked for felt divine. The Screw & Brew’s menu isn’t especially shaped for someone eating gluten-, starch- and dairy-free. Plus, I was starving — a salad wasn’t going to do it. I thought the grilled chicken sandwich, sans bun and cheese but with bacon, looked mighty ¿ne. But, sadly, all the chicken in the house had already been breaded. There were, 14 | February 11, 2016 | coastweekend.com

however, some Halibut Burgers ($16) that had yet to be dusted with panko, and I went for it. I longed for something with a bit of crunch (over the course of the diet I wanted crackers as much as anything). Instead of fries I had a side salad, which cost an extra $ . 5egular readers know how these steep salad up-charges drive me batty. In this case, at least there were a few accouterments — like artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes and garbanzo beans (which I couldn’t eat) — making the case for added cost. Still, though. The ¿sh ¿llet, white, clean and simply prepared, offered a nice lean protein to the fatty bacon. Essentially, though, the meal became much like the ones I’d been making myself overnight: a big, rip-roaring salad. But again, being cooked for had me feeling like royalty. My second trip out was to Buoy Beer &o. Immediately, the menu — which featured extra details like asterisks on all the dishes that can be made gluten-free, for instance — made me feel much more comfortable dining with restrictions. I came in dreaming of the succulent, hearty, lean bison burger, but the Shrimp Louie ($12) caught my eye. I asked the waitress what it would take to be dairyfree, and it was simply about changing the dressing. She recommended the salad highly, and so I went for it, with vinaigrette. The salad was lovingly constructed, a central mountain of bay shrimp with a crown of microgreens. The tower was so tall I didn’t

want to topple it. Like a game of Jenga, I hardly knew how to begin. I picked the croutons out, shed a tear for them, and dug in. Moving through the salad was like digging for treasures. I found hidden coves of pungent, oily olives and grilled asparagus, deposits of radish. The tomatoes were the ripest I’ve have on a plate all winter — one of the rare cases they actually had business being there. A hard-boiled egg was quite thinly sliced, allowing it to go so much further. Though the egg-whites and shrimp had astonishingly similar textures, I appreciated the extra protein. And while I quite enjoyed both my excursions, I wanted to branch out — not to have another salad. On a Saturday evening, I found myself in Seaside, and I thought: Mexican would be ideal — just get rid of the tortilla. I went to The Stand, and was Àabbergasted to ¿nd it closed. What restaurant closes on the weekends?! Just down the street, though, was Tora Sushi. It too could offer me some Àavors I wasn’t producing at home and would require little alteration. It turned out no substitution at all was necessary. It just took a bit of digging. I told

the sushi chef I wanted the sashimi platter, but with no rice. He said they actually had such a platter, though it wasn’t on the menu. I felt like I’d found the pocket. Better yet, for $18.95 it came with miso soup and salad. I was actually getting a coursed meal! The miso was run of the mill, but still: multiple dishes! The second course, a salad, came with a frisky, spring-evoking ginger carrot dressing (that likely had a decent amount of sugar in it). It was poured over a mixture — iceberg lettuce mix and a few stray corn kernels (again, something outside the diet) — unbecoming of the dressing. The main course offered three almost business card-sized slices each of raw tuna, yellowtail, salmon, octopus and lightly seared albacore. The albacore, dressed with onions and a lemon-soy sauce, was far and away the best. Each section of ¿sh was served atop a colorful garnish of green lettuce, and long, thin strips of white daikon radish, purple cabbage and orange carrots. The look was inviting, though meaningless, even detracting in terms of taste. I preferred the ¿sh by itself. All was well and good enough to enjoy raw, but not astounding enough whereas adding soy sauce and/or wasabi would’ve been a crime of diluting essence. While not quite breathtaking, the platter was a delightful, hi-octane swerve from my big salads. And in a way, that’s what the whole detox thing was about — trying new things and seeing what works. So instead of a recommendation to try a particular restaurant, consider this week’s column a nudge in the direction of the unknown.

Northwest Author Series hosts Bill Hall

‘McCallandia’ novel envisions Gov. Tom McCall as president CANNON BEACH — Bill Hall, author of “McCallandia: A Utopian Novel,” will be the speaker for the next Northwest Author series at the Cannon Beach Library. The event will take place at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 13. “McCallandia” is a novel of alternate history that imagines the iconic Oregon Gov. Tom McCall becoming president of the United States as successor to Nixon and how the nation takes a different and better path. McCall, who served as Oregon’s governor

from l967 to l975, is best remembered for his quip encouraging outsiders to “visit but don’t stay.” However, his administration saw an unmatched record of accomplishment, especially in the environmental arena — the Bottle Bill, the Beach Bill, statewide land use planning and the cleanup of the Willamette River. In his book, Hall asks the question, “What if McCall had become president of the United States instead of Ronald Reagan?” Hall is a native Oregonian

who grew up during McCall’s governorship and was inspired by his example to pursue careers in journalism and politics. He was a volunteer in McCall’s ill-fated 1978 comeback campaign for the governorship. Hall lives in Newport and has served as a Lincoln County commissioner since 2005. Hall said he hopes readers will come away from “McCallandia” with a better understanding of how McCall’s leadership helped shape Oregon, how he

Hall had drawn on his reporting background to craft a novel with a structure all its own, combining conventional narrative with imaginary magazine and newspaper articles, diary excerpts, interviews and oral history transcripts.

Author to visit Seaside, Astoria libraries Gideon For-mukwai to share the art, power of storytelling SEASIDE AND ASTORIA — Award-winning speaker and author Gideon For-Mukwai will make two appearances in Clatsop County libraries. He will speak at the Seaside Public Library on Feb. 18, and he will lead a business storytelling workshop at the Astoria Public Library on Feb. 19. Both events are free and open to the public. For-mukwai holds a master’s degree in journalism from the Reynolds School of Journalism at the University of Nevada, Reno.

The art of storytelling

The Friends of the Seaside Library will For-mukwai at 7 p.m. Thrusday, Feb. 18 in the Community Room; there will be book sales and signings. The art and tradition of storytelling has been a key element throughout history. But in our busy, digital age, the practice often has fallen by the wayside. For-mukwai knows that everyone loves a great story and everyone has a great story. The “Unsung Heroes Program,” allows folks to regale and reminisce about momentous things that have happened in their lives as well as the small everyday occurrences that make our world such an interesting place. The author will tell some of his own stories and provide the opportunity for the audience to participate with accounts of their own. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more information call 503-738-6742 or visit seasidelibrary.org

Business storytelling

The days of hard selling are over; today’s customers resent arm-twisting sales people. As a result, many successful businesses are switching to story selling strategies that focus on building rapport and trust.

Gideon For-Mukwai will speak about storytelling and business storytelling in Seaside and Astoria Feb. 18 and 19.

The Astoria Public Library will host a free Business Storytelling workshop led by For-Mukwai from 2 to 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 19. The goal of the workshop is to help business owners, managers, leaders and marketers capture and tell captivating stories that sell. Registration for the workshop is recommended but not required. Small businesses are increasingly embracing storytelling to engage, educate and empower customers with success stories that enable them to make informed buying decisions. Legendary Hollywood instructor Robert McKee says, “Stories are the currency of human contact.” By using this currency, you earn trust and business from your prospects by showing them how you’ve helped other customers with similar problems. Neuroscience research has confirmed that, when used effectively, storytelling is one of the best ways to nudge and persuade potential customers to action. More importantly, stories enable you to show empathy toward a prospect, without sounding pushy or desperate to make a sale. In the Feb. 19 workshop, participants will learn about

four types of business stories SMEs (small and medium enterprises) must tell to generate more leads. They will receive tips on how to add humor to stories to inspire and uplift customers, and how to increase product prices with the science of storytelling. The workshop will include a mini story coaching clinic, during which participants will have the opportunity to craft, tell and critique stories. Participants also will receive a 30Day Story Sourcing Guide for identifying captivating stories. For-mukwai is author of the book “The Science of Story Selling: How to Win the Hearts & Minds of Your Prospects for Purpose and Profit.” With over 12 years of experience, For-mukwai enjoys working with professionals from across all cultures and continents. Since 2004, he has trained over 16,100 executives from organizations such as Oracle, Dell, Gillette, US Social Security Administration, DBS Bank, People’s Association, National University of Singapore, Siemens, Singapore Armed Forces and Great Eastern Life. In 2009, For-Mukwai was the Speaking Champion at the Inter-University Speech Competition at the University of Nevada, Reno. In 2005, he was Singapore Champion at District 80 International Speech Contest in Jakarta, Indonesia. In both cases, he credits story telling as the decisive factor that enabled him to out speak hundreds of native English speakers and contestants. For more information about For-Mukwai and his workshops, visit www.businessstorytellingacademy. com The Astoria Public Library is located at 450 10th St. For more information, call 503-325-7323, or visit www.astorialibrary.org

Tom Horning to speak at Listening to the Land Geologist examines water’s impact on the local landscape SEASIDE — Join Seaside geologist Tom Horning for the second of the 2016 Listening to the Land presentations, “The Geology of Water,” taking place at 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17 at the Seaside Public Library. Admission is free, and refreshments will be served. During his talk, Horning will lead an imaginary tour of the local shoreline through time, as seawater squished sediments into rock that now forms the horizon, and as rain carved out canyons. Horning will review the cycle of rainfall, evaporation and precipitation — including recent

discoveries about how rain, sea and ice have radically altered this coast in just the past 10,000 years and how they continue to shape it. A Seaside native, Horning has a master’s degree in geology from Oregon State University. After a varied career as an exploration geologist, he returned to Seaside in 1994 and became a natural hazards and geotechnical consultant doing

business as Horning Geosciences. Listening to the Land is a monthly winter speaker series offered January through May and presented by North Coast Land Conservancy and the Necanicum Watershed Council in partnership with the Seaside Public Library. The theme in 2016 is water. For more information, visit NCLCtrust.org.

This was immediately following news that the local, awarding-winning distillery, known for producing popular brands Bar Pilot Vodka and Uncle Scary’s Moonshine, was being sued for trademark infringement for the second time in as many years. Beginning as North Coast Distillery in 2013, owner Larry Cary was forced to adopt the Pilot House moniker in 2015 following a trademark challenge from the North Coast Brewery in Eureka, California, only to find himself facing similar heat from Portland’s House Spirits Distillery, makers of Aviation Gin and Oregon’s largest craft distillery, a year later.

This time Cary has decided to fight the allegation in court. People were stopping by in droves to offer an encouraging word, an opinion, and, of course, to pick up a few bottles of handcrafted booze. Cary expressed how much he appreciated the outpouring of support from the community and offered up a cocktail recipe featuring two of his popular spirits: Painted Lady Gin, a floral-forward English-style gin named in honor of Astoria’s many historic Victorians, and his newest concoction, the award-winning Columbia Absinthe Verte — a real-deal absinthe, 140 proof, led by wormwood, anise and fennel. Thanks to the extra punch of lavender and chamomile and the other botanicals lurking in the Painted Lady, this cocktail — dubbed the Absinthe

asked the bartender. “Very old,” she relied. Enough said. What else do you need to know? I ordered a fish sandwich with tater tots even though it was Taco Tuesday. I also ordered a Buoy Beer cream ale to wash down my lunch. Around me, everything moved slowly, in mono, and I like it that way. Quietude is good for the soul and mind. I thought to myself: I don’t spend enough time on the Long Beach Peninsula. There is much to investigate in the area, such as the sign I passed on the drive to Ocean Park that read, “Goat paintings” or “Painting by goats.” I can’t remember which. It doesn’t matter. Either way, there’s a great story there. I have a feeling many great stories lurk in this part of Washington. I’ve got to get out of Oregon a bit more often.

Afternoon — runs its herbs all over the palette and closely resembles an absinthe martini drink called the Absinthe Minded, minus the splash of dry vermouth. Though, who needs vermouth at the party when you are dancing with the green fairy and the Painted Lady? In the afternoon no less? Ingredients 3 parts Painted Lady Gin 1 part Columbia Absinthe Verte 1 part Grand Marnier Ice Orange wheel for garnish Directions Pour the gin, absinthe and liqueur over ice into a cocktail shaker and shake until cold. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with the orange wheel. —Recipe courtesy of Larry Cary, owner of Pilot House Distillery, with tasting rooms in both Astoria and Seaside
