Zilli helps manage more than 137,000 acres of land in Clatsop County that was deeded over to the state in 1939. In exchange for the land, the county gets a big piece of the sales of the timber that the state harvests every year. But the Oregon Department of Forestry does much more than manage timber sales. It also keep the forests healthy and open for recreation, such as hiking and hunting, helps preserve habitat for native wildlife and endangered species, and gives work to hundreds of people in Clatsop County. “The private forest companies cringe “I really like being involved with an when they see that,â€? said Zilli. “Hemorganization that is doing a lot of good ORFN LV QRW DV SURÂż WDEOH DV 'RXJODV Âż U ´ things on a large scale.

‘If I could tell people anything it would be to increase your understanding of where state forests are. Go out there and experience them. Realize that we, as citizens of Oregon, all have access to our state forests.’

Coastal Life Story and photos by DON ANDERSON

Maintaining a healthy forest often means Oregon State foresters have to work with the competing interests of environmentalists and the logging industry. Here, a group of logs thinned from a state forest waits to be loaded and taken to a local mill. The remaining trees will grow faster and larger, while new trees will be planted in the open spaces.

“One of the biggest misconceptions is differentiating us as an agency from the U.S. Forest Service. I have a lot of respect for the forest service, but we are completely different. How we manage our lands and the purpose for which we manage them are different,� said Zilli. “If I could tell people anything it would be to increase your understanding of where state forests are. Go out there and experience them. Realize that we, as citizens of Oregon, all have access to our state forests. We can go out in the state forests with our families and friends and do various activities,� Zilli said. Zilli points out that Gnat Creek Campground, Lost Lake Day Use Area, Northrup Creek Horse Camp, and Spruce Run Campground are four well maintained sites for people to enjoy. There is an excellent off-road vehicle trail system as well. “There are also many types of minor forest products that can be gathered from the forests, such as mushrooms and berries that are popular and fun to do with your family. There are also a whole variety of different ecosystems to experience in our forests, from higher elevation forests down to forests right along the Columbia River. “There is a variety of vegetation zones and wildlife that you are going to experience when you are out there. You do have great access to these forests,� Zilli said. If there is a downside to the job of a forester, it is all the paperwork and the rules changes, what Zilli calls the “process.� “Being a government agency, there is always a lot of process. We hold ourselves to a higher standard than a lot of landowners do in providing habitat for native wildlife and endangered species.

In so doing, it creates a lot of process in complicated planning, and surveying many years in advance for endangered species,� he says. “Forestry is a longterm endeavor, so it is important to have planning certainty because the choices we are making are going to affect the life of a stand of trees and how it develops over many decades.�

Zilli has already seen several forests grow up 50 feet or more that he helped plan in Clatsop County. He takes pride in knowing that the forests he manages and plants will be here for hundreds of years to come. Some trees will be harvested for homes, furniture, even paper. Others will be left to stand for the next generations to enjoy.

Ron Zilli, assistant district forester for the Oregon Department of Forestry in Astoria, has to be part biologist, part diplomat as he works to keep Oregon’s forests profitable, healthy, and open to the public.

GREAT WALL RESTAURANT

Gives the people what they want: Americanized Cantonese food

Just as any writer should, I spend a lot of time reading the work of other writers, and in particular I enjoy perusing, on a weekly basis, columns by other restaurant critics. Since , GRQÂśW OLYH LQ D ELJ FLW\ LWÂśV GLIÂż FXOW IRU PH WR make this assertion with any certainty, but it seems to me that many critics in larger, metropolitan areas are not taking into consideration the desires and tastes of their population – a lot of them are also downright mean, if you ask me. I would be well within my rights as a food critic to visit a Chinese restaurant, such as the Great Wall in Gearhart, where I dined recently, and complain that it’s not authentically Chinese but is in fact Cantonese, as is the food that most local Chinese restaurants serve. I could say that the menu has the same sort of sweet and sour “thisâ€? and pork fried “thatâ€? as the next Chinese place down the street, or that chop suey and chow mein are largely American creations. I could bemoan any number of these points, and many critics would – but what they fail to realize, I sometimes believe, is that maybe this is what the public wants. Is it inventive, packed with Ă€ DYRU DQG SHUFHQW DXWKHQWLF" 1R LW LVQÂśW But it seems to be what the public likes. As such, I think it is unfair as a restaurant critic to approach restaurants such as this with the expectation that I’m going to be wowed by an authentic, Chinese culinary experience. I don’t expect it, and therefore I am not disappointed and can instead judge the restaurant in and of itself, for what it is, and not what it isn’t. 'RHV WKDW PDNH VHQVH" , PLJKW KDYH UHDG

that in a fortune cookie. I’m not sure. At any rate, I think the Great Wall Restaurant is doing a better job than most other local Chinese places of producing the typical Cantonese fare that Americans have come to love. The restaurant itself is a bit more upscale than most, the service is quite good, and there are some items on the menu that I’ve not seen in other local Chinese restaurants. Take the “dragon meet phoenix,� a dish that was purportedly served to Chinese royalty. A large platter of chicken, prawns and vegetables was presented at the table and then grandly dumped atop a sizzling metal pan and served up. This is the same sort of pomp and circumstance used by Mexican restaurants when they serve fajitas, and from a culinary

Since they are a popular favorite, although against my own personal taste, I sampled both the sweet and sour chicken as well as the sweet and sour pork, and, like the barbecued pork, I found it better than the standby served elsewhere. The crispy breading on both the pork and chicken tasted fresh and light and didn’t have that greasy aftertaste that deep-fried food often imparts. Traditional pork-fried rice fell short of the mark for me with very little pork, egg or vegetables to speak of. After a few bites I pushed it aside in favor of plain, white rice.

Luke Ydstie, Kati Claborn and Ryan Dobrowski (Blind Pilot) on bass, banjo and guitar, and drums, respectively, and Gabrielle Macrae (The New Five Cents, Macrae Sisters) on ¿GGOH 7KH JURXS¶V ¿UVW DOEXP is due out in late spring. Keep an eye out for a sneak-preview EP available at the festival. AU (pronounced “Ayyou”) will perform at 8 p.m. The group’s show is wild and rhythmic, bouncing between cacophony and restraint.

GEARHART — Rose Windows will perform at McMenamins Sand Trap Pub at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 14. The performance has no cover, and all ages are welcome. The band follows standard Western traditions in its instrumentation, using the basic tools employed in past decades of American and British rock music. Elements of The Band’s folk-infused rock, The Doors’ organ-driven psychedelia, and Black Sabbath’s blues-based dirges can be heard in Rose Window’s debut album “The Sun Dogs,� which was released in 2012. But the septet’s curiosity goes much further than a few well-chosen classic rock records. Rose Windows devoured Persian, Indian and Eastern European music, studying the beautiful and strange paths taken by visionaries and renegades in other corners of the globe, and

Available parts include Meriwether Lewis, William Clark, Ole and Sven the Brew Masters, Mama Svenson, her beautiful middle-aged daughters (the real heroes), Jaynie Barnes, Capt. Bobby Gray, barkeeps, wenches, a aaster of ceremonies and the whole assortment of the brave frontier crew who make up the Corps of Discovery. Although no experience is necessary to portray these heroes of the Northwest, the ability to carry a little tune and do a little side-step is needed. Rehearsals begin at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7 and will run most

the band incorporated the revelations learned in the process into its sound. The genesis of Rose Windows started Fall 2010 in a house in Seattle’s Central District, where lead guitarist and composer Chris Cheveyo found himself tiring of the limited palette of his prior heavy post-rock project. The project began with a few rough demos done alone at home and slowly began to take shape as the band amassed members. Bandmates were mainly mu-

sician friends who wandered through the house. Rose Windows began playLQJ RXW ÀXLGO\ VKDULQJ WKH VWDJH with underground art-metal bands one night and popular indie Americana acts the next. Since then, the band has toured the West Coast several times and continues to chart its own path in music. The McMenamins Sand Trap Pub is located at 1157 N. Marion Ave. in Gearhart.

Five Minutes With ... CONSTANCE WAISANEN

Born and raised on a dairy farm in northern Minnesota, Constance Waisanen came to Oregon after graduating from the University of California with a degree in chemical engineering. Now living in Knappa, she sings, volunteers and delves into poetry and creative quilting. If you could meet one artist, alive or dead, who would it be and what would you want to know? Leonardo Da Vinci – what a wonderful squirrel brain! From cadavers to engineering flight, his brain had to be a constant buzz. I would just like to breathe in his presence.

doing only original design. Most recently I have been creating my own fabrics, using dye and gelatin printing to create images. The addition of poetry just happened. What subjects or themes do you focus on in your work? I have been working on an abstract series on the emotions since 2008. Each piece has a poem – sometimes the poem inspires the art, other times the art evokes the poetry. My recent show at the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum focused on crossing the boundary between that which is seen and that which remains unseen and

unknowable. I have at least three series underway, one using transitions in color to express abstract concepts, one illustrating the first Hebrew myth of creation from Genesis, and the third exploring abstracted forms in nature. I am also working on a realistic series that draws from the natural beauty of the North Coast. Tell me about your fabric selection process. I am a fabric addict. I get high on the mere smell of a fabric store. My reasons to buy a fabric go like this. It is beautiful: Buy it. It is really ugly (usually on sale too!): Buy a lot of it. It is weird (think Día de los Muertos): Yep, buy it. It is an unusual color. It is a pure color. It is a muted undefinable color. It has a really wild crazy print, like baboon heads. Usually I buy fabrics that are essentially monchromatic. Batiks are a favorite, but when I see a big bold print I buy that too. I have a lot of fabric. I am not sure I should be confessing all this where my children might see it. Will they appreciate that their inheritance is yard goods? How did you get started transferring images to fabric? What is this process like? One might think I would be perfectly happy with all this commercially printed fabric in my stash, but to cre-

ate the moods I need for my pieces, I started dying and printing and using Japanese shibori discharge to create fabrics that express mood. My dye process is low immersion with fiber reactive dyes. Images, both realistic and abstract, are acrylic monoprints off a gelatin plate. No, that is nothing mysterious, just Jell-O without the whipped cream. Shibori fabrics are wrapped around a PVC pipe and bleached, dyed or painted resulting in a pattern reminiscent of waves, sand dunes or bark. The results are so amazing sometimes I just sit and stare. Would you consider yourself a full-time artist? I am more than full-time employed at my day job, and I sing in the North Coast Chorale, co-chair the Partners for the PAC and have a few other volunteer activities, so my art is squeezed into all the other spaces. Who needs sleep? What’s your favorite thing to do on the North Coast? I love to be home in Knappa, driving my tractor and pushing my hands into the dirt of the garden, urging fragrance and amazing foliage to come forth from the earth. When rain or darkness pushes me indoors, then I am in my happy place in the studio, cutting perfectly good fabric up into little pieces and sewing it back together
