Watch “Sometimes a Great Notion” Thursday, Feb. 25 at the Big O Saloon in Olney.

Watch ‘Sometimes a Great Notion’ film The Big O Saloon screens Pacific Northwest cult classic Feb. 25 OLNEY — The best place to watch the greatest movie ever made about logging is in a real logger bar. The best logger bar around is the Olney Saloon, set back up in the woods of Olney. On Thursday, Feb. 25, the Olney Saloon will host its annual winter screening of “Sometimes a Great Notion.” The movie, adapted from Ken Kesey’s epic novel about a de¿ant family of loggers, starred Paul Newman and was ¿lmed on the Central Oregon Coast during the summer of 1970. The ¿lm was released in 1971 to an indifferent nationwide audience but remains a cult classic in the Paci¿c Northwest. The Big O will offer a Hank Stamper Olympia beer and meatloaf sandwich special, free popcorn, and the warmth of a crackling woodstove ¿re to enMoy the ¿lm. Astoria writer Matt Love, author of “Sometimes a Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey and the Filming of the Great Oregon Novel,” will introduce the movie, hold a trivia contest, and take questions after the screening. The saloon is also offer-

Coastal Life INSPIRATIONAL DAYS CLOSE TO HOME

Story by DAVID CAMPICHE

S

tories have it that Chief Nahcotti (some recent evidence suggests the native was called Old Klickeas) saw two whitemen in a stolen canoe paddling in the dense fog, lost for sure and headed for the deadly Willapa Bar. The good chief pounded out a communication on a hollow log. Here is safety and comfort, the message seemed to convey. Espy and Clark followed the drumming to shore, and soon after that spot became Oysterville, a lovely pioneer village on Willapa Bay. The year was 1854. Nahcotti shared with the pair the native oysters, a bivalve similar to today’s Kumamoto oysters (mild brininess, sweet Àavor and honeydew ¿nish). Those pioneers founded this small community and for a while it Àourished. 3oor Nahcotti died of either smallpo[, inÀuen]a or the measles. 6o did most of the Chinook. 6o much for being generous. Not so many years later, the indigenous oysters were played out. Time passed before the introduction of the 3aci¿c oyster. That oyster, or shells covered with spat (larvae), arrived from Japan in force. A new incarnation began. Locals call the oyster the Willapa. I believe them to be one of the most delicious oysters in the world. Much of that has to do with the cleanest estuary in the country, if not the planet. One eats what one sows. Those early years of my youth — so far away and not so far away — haunt and inspire me. I was 17, and that summer of 1965 I picked oysters for Jack Wiegardt, a clever man with strong ideas and a particular eccentricity who didn’t seem to like this son of a local doctor. But I picked well for him. My motivation was dollars. A hard summer’s work back then might generate a couple of thousand dollars. Those dollars paid all the tuition, room and board at most private West Coast collages. I wanted an education and worked hard for it. Oh, how those economics have changed. An oysterman picked the bivalves at low tide. The day before — as the tide swirled about battered hip-boots — we would secure long alder stakes into the soft Willapa mud, marking out the location of our scow or barge for the next day’s picking. The craft would be maneuvered into position during the Àood tide. As the waters retreated, we would venture out on foot from the scow, ¿lling the bushel basket with live oysters and the mud that clung to them. 4 | February 18, 2016 | coastweekend.com

ON THE BAY

Columnist David Campiche recalls his youthful days on Willapa Bay picking oysters

Photo by Dwight Caswell

David Campiche’s memories of picking oysters on Willapa Bay in the 1960s glaze over the arduous labor of oystering and rally around the jewel-faceted splendor of the summer sunrises.

During the next several hours, a hearty individual might make up to 200 trips back and forth in unctuous mud to the Àat-topped scow, leaving about 50 or 60 pounds of the succulent oysters on the top of the wooden vessel with each passing. The mud was up to a foot deep, and with each step, one worked further and further away from the scow. Muscles protested, but what the heck. With thighs like fence posts, an average young oysterman running a football that next fall could carry three tacklers into the end ]one. The days on the bay were inspirational. Then as now, the Willapa simmered between mornings of dense heron-gray to sun bla]es with colors rich in reds, golds and quicksilvers. One can’t really pick apart the subtleties of so much color or hue, but the writer’s mission is to valiantly try. As I approach a plateau of the 1960s, those mornings of exploration on lovely Willapa Bay seem to neglect the arduous labor of oystering and rally around the jewel-faceted splendor of these summer sunrises, a rare guest, I suppose, superim-

posed on annual rainfall that deposited nearly 100 inches of wet Hail Marys that spelled out Northwest weather over the last century. Traveling in small boats, we crisscrossed that shallow water. The bay teemed in waterfowl. Along the edges, particularly along Long Island, every nature of four-legged mammal seemed to wander into view. The ¿rst days of this new employment became an initiation period. Handed a bushel basket, I was told to capture a large crafty raccoon that was feeding on the mudÀat. I chased that dang critter across foot-sei]ing mud for what seemed hours. The raccoon retreated only steps ahead of mine, until, that point of time when he or she seemed undeniably trapped. Then my furry friend hissed, and, welling up in defensive mode, sprinted away, leaving me exhausted and frustrated. The older oystermen cackled and guffawed. I’ve eaten the delicacies ever since (oysters, not raccoon): fried, sautéed, baked; Rockefeller, Italian, poached, and, of course, au naturel. And many other variations, all pleasant in their savory evoca-

tion. Often I would smuggle an oyster knife onto the oyster grounds, and, when hungry, open a few, clean them in the briny water of the Willapa, and send them unceremoniously on a short journey into the ol’ tummy-tum. This made me happy then, and happier today. Like the taste of that ¿ne oyster repast, the beauty of that bay lingers. Unlike so many disappointments we experience today as we trudge back to the precious landscapes of our past, the Willapa remains virtually intact. Forgoing the impacts of warming waters and acidi¿cation, the treasure of this bay may forever foster delight and inspiration. We work at that. Certainly the oystermen do, and the environmentalists (though both sides pick on each other like birds of prey) and, please, you and me, too. Willapa Bay is our future, and the future is our deliverance. And I covet those memories. And I pray for a kind tomorrow, one with plates of pan-fried oysters, gentle laughter, and the promise of more — more of those succulent and salty bivalves.

Cedar Teeth brings roots rock to the Fort George ASTORIA — Northwest roots rock band Cedar teeth will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 21 at the Fort George Brewery, located at 1483 Duane St. There is no cover, and all ages are welcome. &HGDU 7HHWK LV D ¿YH SLHFH band hailing from the Cascade foothills of Colton. For many years, the fellas have been working together in a shed at the edge of an ancient forest. The songs of Cedar Teeth come together organically: OLNH D MLJVDZ SX]]OH ZLWKRXW the box, assembled by many hands. Crafting a sound that blends rough and rustic folk rock with lyrical American roots, the music of Cedar Teeth is drawn from their experiences and sentiments of living on the frontier dividing the wilderness and the city. Their debut album “Hoot” explores the tensions of a generation: love, materialism and destruction in a morally ambivalent landscape. Rayson Gordon’s driving and melodic bass lines are the steady pulse at the heart of Cedar Teeth. Founder and creative contrarian, Gordon is also the artistic voice of the band and its illustrator. Self-taught guitarist Luke Precourt channels an idiosyncratic, genre-defying sound; whether arcane or archaic, his

A life-long searcher, dreamer and pioneer, Precourt’s musical meditations weave through Cedar Teeth’s roots and boughs. Primary vocalist and acoustic guitarist Dylan Martell is the visceral yet vulnerable voice of Cedar Teeth. Martell’s lyrics, composed of stark and paradoxical imagery, are the lens through which the music is focused. Incendiary behind the drums, but uniquely serene with banjo in hand, Aaron Troxel also supplies haunting gospel-tinged harmonies and lead vocals. An astute critic and interpreter, Troxel focuses each member’s eclectic palette into a single sonic vision. Adam Murray, whether on guitar, keyboard, vocals or drums, is the rug that ties the room together. Murray is the spirited guide and irreverent translator, endearing the audience to the band.

First Lady of Country Music’s granddaughter Tayla Lynn to perform with Eric Tingstad Feb. 20 at the Liberty Theater

What do you do with your life if, as a child, in addition to everything other children do, you also took voice lessons, got to know famous musicians, and were constantly surrounded by the best in country music? And from the age of 2 you spent time on the road with your grandmother? And what if your “Memawâ€? was born in Butcher Hollow, Kentucky, a coal miner’s daughter, and she went on to become the First Lady of Country Music? Well, you might become a country singer just like Memaw, the woman the rest of the world calls Loretta Lynn. “There is never anything else I have ever wanted to do,â€? says Tayla Lynn, her granddaughter. “There has never been a ‘plan B’; it was always music, being a mama, being a wife, and sing.â€? She’s a wife and mom now, and her singing career is well on its way. Tayla Lynn was not only raised in the middle of country music, VKH Âż UVW VDQJ RQ VWDJH ZLWK KHU grandmother at the age of 5. Since then, it has become obvious that she inherited a talent for songwriting and a great set of pipes. She’s recorded “Honky Tonk Girlâ€? with Loretta Lynn, who wrote the song, and their genetically matched voices are remarkable. You can hear just how remarkable this Saturday, Feb. 20, at 7:30 p.m. in Astoria’s Liberty Theater, where Tayla Lynn will be performing with Grammy-winning guitarist Eric Tingstad. Tayla Lynn’s professional career began in 2007 with Stealing Angels, a band that was the result of a reality television show that didn’t happen. Lynn was recruited for “All in the Genes,â€? a show that was to trace the ups and downs of the descendants of famous people, along with Caroline Cutbirth, a descen-

dant of Daniel Boone, and Jennifer Wayne, granddaughter of John Wayne.

A baby boy named Tru soon arrived, and not too long thereafter mom returned to country music, this time as a single act. Lynn quotes her grandmother telling her, “Country music is about family. It’s based on family. Always remember that Tayla.â€? It’s also about the pains and healing of life. Tayla Lynn says, “As a songwriter, you get to tell your pain through your music. When people relate to that, it’s healing. Singing in front of people, it’s a lot like therapy.â€? Lynn expresses a feeling that she shares with a lot of singer-songwriters: “It only takes that one person, and if you can move that one person then you have done your job right.â€?

But humans have been walking on the Oregon Coast Trail — or something like it — much longer than that. How long?

OYSTERING O N W I L L A PA B AY

WASHINGTON OYSTER FARMERS ARE INHERITORS OF A TRADITION AND WAY OF LIFE THAT GOES BACK TO 1851 STORY AND PHOTOS BY

DWIGHT CASWELL

T

Tim Ritchey uses a shovel to scatter young oysters on an oyster bed in Willapa Bay. The oysters had been removed from a nursery bed where they had grown to their present size in plastic cages; now they will mature on a new bed.

12 | February 18, 2016 | coastweekend.com

The windshield wipers clacked back and forth. Steve Shotwell was at the wheel, peering through a light rain as his oyster boat made its way to a spot marked by poles on Willapa Bay. Deckhand Tim Ritchey attached a hook from the orange hoist and hauled a submerged longline, covered with oysters, onto the deck. He cut the bivalves off the line, deftly opened one of them with his knife, and offered it to me. It was the best oyster I’ve ever eaten.

You either love them or you hate them. Those who love them really love them, and if you have a literary turn of mind even the most direct and unadorned of prose writers will wax poetic. Steve Shotwell and his wife, Andi, have owned their Elkhorn Oyster Company in Nemah, Washington, since 1995. One of the smallest of almost 30 such oyster companies on Willapa Bay, they are the inheritors of a tradition and a way of life that goes back 165 years, to 1851. Oyster middens left by Native Americans around Willapa Bay have been dated back at least 4,000 years, but it was not until the early Steve Shotwell bags cultch, old oyster shells that will serve 1800s that oysters became all the as a place for spat, aka oyster larvae, to attach. Once at- rage in the United States. The Caltached, the cultch will be spread over nursery beds. ifornia gold rush created a market for oysters in San Francisco, and Charles Russell, a seaman living and trading on Shoalwater (now Willapa) Bay, had the bright idea of hiring the natives to collect oysters, load them on a ship, and send Submitted photo them south. That was in 1851, and Russell had competition Pacific oysters were within months. introduced to Washington The native oysters in Willapa Bay were the small in the early 1900s and are Washington (or Olympia) oysters. Slow growing and now the main oyster harvested mercilessly, they began to diminish, a process farmed in Willapa Bay. accelerated by the burgeoning logging industry. Today,

the Olympia oyster can still be found in Willapa Bay, but it is commercially extinct, with a twofold result. Eastern oysters brought from Chesapeake Bay on the new transcontinental railroad replaced the local oysters, and in the late 19th century the ¿rst oyster farms appeared in Willapa Bay. Oystermen began marking off their territories with stakes, and by statehood in 1899 de facto ownership of these tidal lands, as well as the importance of the industry, was well established. Washington made the unusual decision to allow private ownership of tidal lands, which began a history of private stewardship of Willapa Bay that continues to this day. After a few years, something wiped out the eastern oysters, and they were replaced by Crassostrea gigas, the Paci¿c oyster, ¿rst brought to Washington by Japanese entrepreneurs around 1900. Willapa oystermen did not begin raising Paci¿c oysters until 1928, after a state law forbade foreign ownership of land, forcing the Japanese to relinquish their tidelands. Paci¿c oysters tolerated the tidal range in Willapa, and as Chesapeake oyster production diminished, the Willapa industry saw a revival. Today, one oyster in six in the United States is grown on the 15,000 acres of Willapa tideland oyster farms. /ive mature Paci¿c oysters did not do well on the twoweek journey from Japan, so Willapa oystermen began importing oyster larvae (“spat”) from Japan. They dumped the cultch (oyster shells with spats attached, or “set”) into the bay and waited for them to grow to harvestable size. Eventually, the Paci¿cs adapted to Willapa and began to set naturally, but the natural set was unreliable. Today, virtually all oyster farms in Willapa Bay use

larvae from local hatcheries, which are placed in tanks with bags of shells (cleaned to provide a good attachment surface). The spats are cultured for a short time before the cultch is placed in nursery beds. From that point on, each oyster farmer has his own way of growing the oysters to their ¿nal size. As Steve Shotwell drove his boat toward a patch of tidelands he owns, an oyster dredge crossed the bow, a hundred yards out. Dredging is a traditional means of cultivation. Cultch is scattered on the ground — the bottom — and later harvested with a dredge. “They occasionally harrow it,” Shotwell explained. “It Àips the oysters out of the mud so they grow better and they don’t suffocate.” However, dredging is made dif¿cult by the increasing number of native ghost shrimp in Willapa Bay. The shrimp burrow in the hard-packed bottom, making it too soft to support oyster beds; the oysters sink into the mud and die. We arrived at one of Shotwell’s beds, where Tim Ritchey used a shovel to scatter oysters. The oysters had been removed from a bed where they had grown to their present size in plastic cages, protected from crabs; now they would mature on the new bed. Shotwell explained that oyster grounds differ. A seedbed can’t be too soft, and conditions on another bed may be more favorable for fattening oysters to maturity. Shotwell increasingly grows oysters on longlines, which involves spacing set shells along rope suspended above the bottom from PVC posts. This overcomes shrimp problems, reduces predation from crabs, and produces good yields of high quality oysters. The practice is labor intensive, though, and exposure to storms and fowling by weed and debris makes some areas unsuitable for longlines. Like most growers, Shotwell is also growing more “singles” than in the past. These are oysters grown individually, protected in trays or cages. Of uniform size and quality, singles are ideally suited to the growing market for live in-shell oysters. Shotwell’s small Elkhorn Oyster Company has a Shell-

HOW TO

SHUCK AN OYSTER

Today, one oyster in six in the United States is grown on the 15,000 acres of Willapa tideland oyster farms.

“As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy and to make plans.” —Ernest Hemingway, “A Moveable Feast”

stock Shipper license and supplies local customers and distributors in Washington and California with oysters in the shell. The company provides oysters in quantity for parties and fundraising events; contact Shotwell through his website, www.elkhornoyster.com. Most Willapa oysters are shucked at larger ³Shucker-3acker´ ¿rms by skilled workers who can shuck an oyster every few seconds (at three cents an oyster, the best can earn $200 a day), and then sold in containers according to size. “I was raised on fried oysters,” Shotwell says, “and I’ve been working in the industry since childhood, summers and after school. It’s the only thing I wanted to do and knew how to do.” Tim Ritchey was raised in the distant deserts of southern California, but he is no less dedicated to the oystering way of life. “It’s a lot of work,’ he says, “but a day in June can be absolutely gorgeous. Even a nasty day on the bay is better than a day working in an of¿ce.”

Use an oyster knife: If you slip, it’s too dull to do any damage, but it’s inflexible and sharp enough to open the shell. If you’re opening a lot of oysters you’ll find rubber gloves, the heavier the better, a valuable addition. What to do: Hold the oyster with the flat side up. You’ll often hear that the best place to insert the knife is at or near the hinge. No professional shucker does this. Instead, stab the opposite end of the oyster, about a half-inch or a little more in from the lip of the shell. Insert the point of the knife through the hole you’ve just created. The muscle that attaches the oyster to the shell is just beyond the point of your knife, on the flat side of the shell. With your knife parallel to the shell, cut the muscle, and then pry the flat half of the shell way from the other half. You now have a perfect oyster resting in its liquid. If you wish, run your knife under the oyster to make sure there is no attachment to the other side. Add Mignonette. Enjoy.

El Trio Loco

The Molcajete, served in a heavy bowl that keeps its contents hot, is a sort of bean chili topped with butterflied shrimp, cheese, grilled chicken, carne asada, scallions and cactus.

Gearhart restaurant boasts a long menu, but well-prepared and presented platters

L

Last August I wrote about the odd and confusing cluster of Mexican restaurants in Gearhart. My review centered around El Mariachi Loco, which received two stars, my lowest rating to date. From the parking lot of El Mariachi Loco one could look north and spot El Trio Loco. The reason for the duplication, I was told, had something to do with a splitting of family ownership. Driving by recently, I noticed El Mariachi had closed. As such, I ¿gured a trip to the victor ² and the longer-running establishment ² was in order. El Trio Loco’s space, with high ceilings, Southwestern pastels, tile work, colorful fake plants and buzzing beer signs, was familiar: the rote Mexican-American template. There are plenty of little spaces throughout, a room for parties, and a large adMoining cantina. It’s pretty big ² but not big enough to house every dish on the menu, were they served all at once. El Trio Loco’s menu is cumbersome and enormous. It’s eight pages long. Eight. Pages. Not counting sides, there are over 120 dishes. Choosing was excruciating, not only for fear of missing out, but because everything was so similar. A good half of the menu consisted of a meat, served with rice, beans and maybe some veg. Many differences come down to the slightest of details: like the addition of green peppers. Or, say, a “spicy sauce” and a “spicy tasty sauce.” The servers, while cordial and warm, didn’t excel at narrowing things down. After one returned a third time, I ¿nally had to throw my hands up and Must pick something. When the Molcajete ($17.95) arrived, in a large, heavy, black stone bowl shaped like a pig, I thought I’d lucked out. Standing on four legs, it was like a bowling ball that had been lopped in half and scooped out. A sort of chili, the beans were bubbling and boiling, steaming, scalding hot. In the center was a cluster of butterÀied shrimp, covered with a layer of molten cheddar cheese. Resting around the edge of the bowl and dipping down into the pinto beans were segments of grilled chicken, carne asada and cactus. The beans themselves were cooked with ground chorizo and bits of bacon, a lusciously fatty stew. The shrimp had a bit of barbecue smoke. The chicken had a ¿ne char it was juicy and well cooked, probably the dishes’ standout protein. The asada, peppery and generously seasoned, was one large, thin piece, about the size and thickness of a book’s hard-cover. I was happy to ¿nd it almost totally gristle-free. Besides a few scallions and a fried jalapexo, a sheet of cactus, cut into ¿ngers, constituted the dish’s primary veggie, though its tough, 14 | February 18, 2016 | coastweekend.com

oily bitterness left me wanting for a better partner. Still, the dish worked ² it was a glorious, sinfully carnivorous, succulent stew, presented delightfully. Plus, that thick stone pig bowl kept things piping hot until well-after I’d ¿nished. 8nlike when departing its former rival, I left El Trio Loco with a smile, actually looking forward to coming back. When I did return, I found settling on something to order no easier. I did know, that for the most part, I wanted little to do with the numerous, run-of-the-mill, cookie-cutter combos ² you know: two tacos and a burrito, an enchilada and a taco, ad in¿nity. Mostly I was uninterested in ordering down-menu: Burritos and the like are best saved for counter-service joints, where the quality is similar and the price halved. But, to be fair and sure, I tried the Enchiladas Bandera ($14.95), which allowed me to sample the three base sauces. The green, quite peppery, was the pointiest of the bunch. The red was smoky and dark, not at all spicy. The cream seemed mostly of sour cream. Oh, and the house habanero hot sauce is certainly worth asking for if you like truly spicy stuff ²

There are values to be had at El Trio Loco, like the house Margarita, which, served as a stiff double, is a deal at $5.95.

it’s not only very hot, but non-standard in that the base is a tangy green sauce. The enchiladas, though, were as I suspected: run of the mill. The Caldo 7 Mares ($17.95), however, was full of surprise. Partly that’s because neither I nor my server knew what exactly the seven seafoods included would be. He came up with three: crab, shrimp and scallops. Regardless, I went for it. I mean, it wasn’t as if I was going to feel any more certain with another go-round of the eight-page menu. The “seven” descriptor turned out to be generous, perhaps a bit fungible. To get there on this particular evening one would have to count shrimp and bay shrimp as separate seafoods. (Maybe we could call it the Caldo 6.5?) Statistics aside, I quite enjoyed it, mostly because it was fun to eat.

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com

Beneath the basic, thin, red tomato and onion broth, I plunged down to haul up hidden treasures. There were little scallops, the aforementioned shrimp, tilapia, octopus, mussels and two crab legs, which jutted up out of the soup. It came with a separate plate for shells and a tool for cracking the crab. With all that snapping and slurping, I wouldn’t have minded a bib. None of the plunder was over-cooked ² the octopus and the mussels hadn’t turned rubbery. But neither was anything here strikingly, off-the-docks fresh. Again, soup succeeded more on experience and variety than any real knockout Àavor. It was delivered, puzzlingly, with tortillas, which I had no use for. But that’s kind of El Trio Loco’s M.O. ² it’s not supremely well-reasoned or visionary, but the platters are heaping, well-prepared and presented. And though they’re not necessarily cheap, there are values to be had. (Among them is the house Margarita, which, served as a stiff double, is a deal at $5.95) I imagine there are more gems in the menu, if you’ve got the patience or luck to ¿nd them. Once thing, though, is abundantly clear: In the competition of the Locos in Gearhart, the better restaurant prevailed, and it wasn’t even close.

The band’s dynamic instrumentation is showcased in “The Scratchdog Shuffle,” where the string-boxes are passed between the members in almost every variation, providing an intricate backdrop to their blended vocals. Scratchdog’s repertoire ranges from fierce boot-stompers to rolling country ballads, as well as genre-benders in between. Complemented by thoughtful lyricism, the whole is a sound larger than the sum

Tickets on sale now for benefit event ASTORIA — The 18th annual Clatsop CASA Celebration will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. March 10 at the Bridgewater Bistro. The event honors the rewarding work of CASA volunteers who advocate on behalf of foster children. CASA volunteers help foster children on their path to a safe, permanent home. Enjoy an evening of delicious small bites, wine and other beverages while listening to music. A lively dessert auction will raise money for advocacy services for children and youth who are victims of child abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers are the only participants in the child welfare system who speak solely for the child’s best interest in making recommendations to the court and advocating for services. With volunteers serving over 120

children in 2015, there is still a waiting list of children who need a CASA volunteer to help them during their time in foster care. Clatsop CASA relies on community support to fund the recruitment and training of volunteers, so that they can work on improving the services provided to families and children. Space is limited for this bene¿t event, and only 150 tickets will be sold; the celebration has sold out the past two years. Tickets are $30 each, $225 for a table of eight or $275 for a table of 10. For tickets, call 503-338-6063 or email casa@clatsopcasa.org Sponsorships are also available, with levels from $250 to $5,000 or more. To become a CASA volunteer, call 503-338-6063 or email julia@clatsopcasa.org

Clatsop Community College announces 2016 ‘Au Naturel’ exhibit award winners ASTORIA — The opening reception of Clatsop Community College’s 10th annual juried art exhibit “Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century” was held Jan. 28 in the CCC Royal Nebeker Art Gallery. This 10th anniversary of the exhibit is held in memory of Royal Nebeker, internationally renowned artist and beloved instructor who taught at Clatsop Community College for over 30 years and who served as the ¿rst juror for the competition. Juror Lisa Harris, the owner of Lisa Harris Gallery in Seattle, which represents 30 West Coast contem-

porary artists including Nebeker, selected 58 works of art from nearly 500 submitted images in addition to two of Nebeker’s nudes, which are also featured in the show. Works on exhibit represent 52 artists from 17 states plus the District of Columbia, in addition to international artists from Canada and Romania. Eleven of the selected artists were present for the reception. Harris gave a gallery talk, and cash prizes, purchase awards, and workshop awards were announced. Awards for the “Au Naturel” exhibit are supported by submission fees

paid by all artists who enter the competition. The exhibit will remain on display at the gallery, 1799 Lexington Ave., through March 10. The gallery is open 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and Sundays and holidays by appointment. All visitors are invited to cast a vote for the People’s Choice Award, which will be announced at the close of the exhibition. Nick Reszetar, from Milan, Michigan, who won ¿rst place for his charcoal drawing “Dioscuric” was also selected for a purchase award. Har-

ris selected the oil painting “Sleeping Venus Waking Up” by Christopher Mooney of Lake Oswego for the second place award. Michel Reedy of Ann Arbor, Michigan, won third place for his mixed-media piece “Every Eve.” All of the artists selected to participate in the 2016 exhibit were invited to submit proposals for the solo show and workshop awards, which

were reviewed by the art faculty. From among these submissions, Laura Viola Preciado of Langley, Washington, was chosen for the solo show award. This solo show will open the Royal Nebeker Art Gallery’s 2016-17 exhibition season next fall, and the featured artist will conduct a workshop in conjunction with

the exhibit. Ellen Soderquist of Dallas, Texas, was selected for a workshop award, which she conducted Jan. 29. Participants included the CCC life drawing students, several artists represented in this year’s “Au Nature”l exhibit, as well as members of the community. The workshop, called Gesture Drawing: The Essence of Figure, was a rigorous three-hour intensive session concentrating on gesture drawing techniques designed to sharpen the artist’s ability to see, internalize and express the ¿gure. Local artist Penny Treat of Long Beach, Washington, was also chosen for a workshop award, for which the time, date and details will be announced in a forthcoming press release. In addition to Nick Reszetar’s large charcoal drawing, Shang Ma’s “Existence No.32” was also selected for a Purchase Award. Both works of art will become part of CCC’s growing Permanent Collection, which is currently housed primarily in the Dora Badollet Library, located at 1680 Lexington Ave.

Jupiter’s holds 29 titles by Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky on its shelves.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Jupiter’s Books I can’t state for sure, but I feel confident in claiming: Jupiter’s Books in Cannon Beach stocks more books by Soviet revolutionary Leon Trotsky in a single bookstore than any other bookstore in the Western United States, and that includes Powell’s in Portland! Why not a little Trotsky for your getaway weekend at the beach? His complaints are still valid today. How this collection of 29 titles ended up in the venerable Jupiter’s Books is a great story, and proprietor Watt Childress will gladly

spin the tale for you. Who would have thought that a renowned Russian scholar once lived in the city? Of course, who would have thought that Cannon Beach was once a hotbed of Oregon’s hippie counterculture? Watt has owned Jupiter’s for 11 years now and runs one of the best, eccentric, homey retail outlets for literature, conversation and responsible sedition anywhere on the Oregon Coast. The fiction section is outstanding, as are the locally made kelp percussion instruments hanging from the ceiling that Watt will not sell (I tried.) Every time I visit the shop,

Watt engages me with a local story, a rare book or a perfectly sane idea for social justice. Sometimes I buy a book; other times I don’t. But I never leave without a nourishing cultural experience. Being inside Jupiter’s Books is exponentially more than just an economic transaction. Just one step inside and a visitor will know this. Among other contributions to his community, Watt is the publisher of Upper Left Edge, the biannual print magazine and ongoing website that publishes thought-provoking insights about living on the North Oregon Coast … and the rest of the planet. Both publications contain unique perspectives on what it means to take a stand for positive change in the world. Trotsky, kelp, rare tomes, straight talk, literary artifacts, a person who still believes in books and the power of people to enact a greater, fairer nation. All of that describes Jupiter’s Books and Watt Childress, but there is a whole lot more. Check it out for yourself.

Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon. His books are available through coastal bookstores or his web site, nestuccaspitpress.com

New Potter play to come out as book NEW YORK (AP) — The new Harry Potter play will become a new Harry Potter book. Scholastic Inc. announced Feb. 10 that a “script book” of “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” will be published July 31. The book is a based on the two-part stage collaboration of J.K. Rowling, Jack Thorne and John Tiffany and arrives just after the play premieres in London on July 30. Rowling’s Potter website www.pottermore.com will release an edition. The ¿rst seven Potter books have sold more than 400 million copies worldwide, according to Scholastic, the series’ U.S. publisher.

arrogant or stately. As describing the human body as thickset, large or physically strong, it was only first recorded in 1804. The term is first applied to beer in 1677 as an adjective meaning “strong” to denote a particularly potent ale. Then porter-style ales gained popularity in 1720s London among the working class. Porter, meaning carrier, is supposedly named for the laborers who liked their brews cheap and heady and as heavy as a meal. A stout porter was only meant to distinguish an especially brawny batch before each term took on its own particular stylistic characteristics, though to this day those characteristics are still interrelated and the source of plenty of debate in the brewery community.

“Porter may be divided into two classes, namely, brown-stout, and porter properly so called. The London porter has deservedly obtained the reputation of being the best in the world; it is a wholesome, cooling and at the same time nutritive beverage ... Brown-stout is only a fuller bodied kind of porter than that which serves for ordinary drinking. A great deal of this is exported to America and the West Indies.” —Thomas Mortimer, A General Dictionary of Commerce, Trade, and Manufactures, Gillet and Son, London, 1810

“February is Stout Month at Fort George Brewery. The shortest and darkest month of the year is the perfect time to showcase the variety within this rich, dark style of beer. Every Monday starting Feb. 1, new Fort specialty stouts are released at the pub.” —“It’s Stout Month at Fort George Brewery,” Coast Weekend, Feb. 1, 2016

Stage version of ‘Frozen’ to be directed by Broadway veteran By MARK KENNEDY AP Drama Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Disney has tapped one of Broadway’s freshest talents to direct one of its most anticipated musicals, “Frozen.” According to a Disney Theatrical Productions announcement Feb. 9 on Twitter, Alex Timbers will helm the show, which is expected to land on Broadway in 2018 alongside “Aladdin” and “The Lion King.” Timbers is a two-time Tony Award nominee who directed “Peter and the Starcatcher,” “The Pee-Wee Herman Show” and “Rocky.” He also is co-creator and co-writer of the Amazon series “Mozart in the Jungle.” The show will have sets by

seven-time Tony winner Bob Crowley, choreography by Peter Darling, and sound design by four-time Tony nominee Peter Hylenski. Two-time Tony winner Stephen Oremus is the music supervisor. It had been previously revealed that husband-and-wife team Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez are working on the show and Jennifer Lee, co-director and screenwriter of the ¿lm, is writing the story. “Frozen” has earned more than $1.27 billion at the box of¿ce worldwide, becoming the most successful animated movie of all time. Its signature song, “Let It Go,” won an Oscar. Apple said the soundtrack was the year’s top-selling album on iTunes in 2014.
