Jorjett Strumme shares about life in Hollywood Seaside Public Library hosts local costume designer, artist SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library will host Jorjett Strumme, who will give a talk on “My Life in Hollywood,” beginning at 7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 15. The event will take place in the Community Room. It’s rare that a person with Strumme’s experiences and credentials comes to a small coastal community like Seaside to live. Her lifelong dream of designing glamorous fashion for the legends of Hollywood came true when she moved from Seaside to Los Angeles. In the right place at the right time, Strumme, with guts and determination, was able to work her way into a job with two-time Oscar winner Helen Rose, as well as

Emmy Award-winning designer Nolan Miller. This allowed Strumme the opportunity to work on several television series such as “Dynasty,” “Hotel” and “Love Boat,” as well as 15 movies. Strumme was the in-house model for many of Joan Collins’ “Dynasty” costumes, and she hand painted June Allison’s shoes and made a tiara for Esther Williams. Other well-known movie stars Strumme worked with included actresses Barbara Stanwyck, Lana Turner, Bette Davis and Ginger Rogers. What happened next was another dream come true. An offer to organize Elizabeth Taylor’s closet led to Strumme

becoming Taylor’s full-time assistant in 1985. “For 10 years, I traveled the world with Elizabeth Taylor as her personal assistant and stylist,” she says. Strumme’s career also includes a successful line of loungewear and caftans. She was a featured designer in the book “California Design.” Several of her creations were even worn by Taylor in perfume and bath product ads. After living in Hollywood and London for more than 20 years, Strumme has moved back to Seaside where she creates her one-of-a-kind masks, headpieces, hats and apparel line.

Story by DWIGHT CASWELL

Former game warden Gene Witham has many stories to tell

It was two hours past sunset on Nov.15, 1977, when the HH-3F helicopter lifted off into the darkness from Air Station Astoria bound for Willapa Bay. The setting quarter moon was obscured by overcast clouds, and rain pelted the aircraft. Strong, gusting winds tore the tops off the steep waves below. Not long before the helicopter took off, the 41-foot U.S. Coast Guard vessel UTB 41332 had departed Ilwaco for Astoria. She was running almost broadside to the heavy seas when the boatswain heard the hissing of a huge wave. He leaped for the wheel to steer into the approaching giant, but he ZDV WRR ODWH 7KH ZDYH Ă€ LSSHG WKH ERDW Âż OOLQJ ZLWK ZDWHU LW GULIWHG RXW toward the lightship. *HQH :LWKDP D IHGHUDO Âż VKHULHV agent, rode with the Coast Guard crew of the helicopter, and the mission, to search for commercial Âż VK SRDFKLQJ ZDV XQGHU KLV FRP mand.

There wouldn’t be anybody out there, anyway, on a night like this. But Witham had a feeling, and he was adamant. He recalls that it was like, “God sitting on my shoulder, and I felt, strangely, until the end of the mission, that I was almost afraid to look at my left shoulder.â€?

At the time wind surfers would surf onto or off of whales, and tourists boats pursued females and their calves. Witham helped to regulate whale watching and to educate the public. When he retired Witham, was offered a position with Greenpeace, an organization with which he was not in complete agreement, and he chose instead to spend two years doing Christian missionary work in the wilds of New Jersey. Today Gene Witham lives in quiet retirement in his Cathlamet home. After almost 40 years in game law enforcement he is working on a memoir, telling a tape recorder the same stories he tells his children and grandchildren.

Two Portland groups play two local shows Robin Bacior, Grand Lake Islands to release new albums LONG BEACH, Wash. and ASTORIA — Portland bands Robin Bacior and Grand Lake Islands are embarking on tours in honor of their new respective albums. Both groups will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 8 at the Adrift Hotel, located at 409 Sid Snyder Drive in Long Beach, Washington. Then, both will play at 9 p.m. Friday, Jan 9 at the Voodoo Room, located at 1114 Marine Drive in Astoria. Bacior’s voice speaks of a much older soul.

ENCORE starts winter classes, welcomes new members ASTORIA — ENCORE stands for Exploring New Concepts of Retirement Education and is for adults 50 years old and older. It is a volunteer-led organization that operates under the auspices of Clatsop Community College. Annual membership is $50 and includes more than 20 classes offered during fall, winter and spring sessions scheduled to correspond with the college calendar as well as computer and library privileges at CCC. The beauty of ENCORE classes is there is no homework (except for reading in the book group), and there are no grades. You can sign up for one class or even for all the classes, whatever your schedule allows because there are no overlapping times for the classes. Classes are offered either in

Astoria or Seaside. The Curriculum Committee sets up the class schedule based on suggestions from ENCORE members, most of whom have WKH H[SHUWLVH DQG TXDOLÂżFDWLRQV to teach, including several former professors. If you want to keep your mind active or if you are curious about a topic, consider coming to a trial class before joining. Winter Session begins Monday Jan. 12 with Folk Dancing led by Drew Herzig. Then, Tuesday morning is Beginning Pottery; Tuesday afternoon is Pick Your Favorite Decade, where class members can talk about some personal memories. Wednesday morning is Science Exchange, where class members can bring in articles of interest or the moderators suggest topics from science-re-

lated headlines; Wednesday afternoon is The Bible: A New and Different Look, using historical events mentioned in the Bible but discussed in a historic context. Thursday morning is Philosophy of Art led by CCC Philosophy Instructor Seth Tichenor; Thursday afternoon is Memoir Writing. Friday is Book Group led by CCC U.S. History Instructor Steve Berk. The book to be discussed is “The New American Militarism� by Andrew Bacevich. In the spring, Folk Dancing, Science Exchange and Book Group will be offered again along with several other interesting classes yet to be scheduled. One special class called Inside the Coast Guard is being developed for the spring by Erhard Gross, an ENCORE

member and former professor. He will be working with a designated U.S. Coast Guard representative to complete sub-topics of the presentation, such as history of the Coast Guard, command structure, rescue unit Cape Disappointment and more. The ENCORE Trip Committee will be working with Gross to schedule visits to various Coast Guard installations of interest. The ENCORE Membership Committee works to recruit and retain members by organizing social events. Dec. 16 was the annual ENCORE Holiday Bash at the Riverview Buffet in Astoria, which included a buffet dinner, a holiday singa-long with the North Coast Ukulele Strummers, and guest speaker Sydney Stevens, who talked about holidays on the

The Rain Vacation

Memo:

To: Coastal Lodging Establishments Subject: Inventing the Rain Vacation From: Matt Love, self-appointed expert in rain, author of a book on rain, and resident of the Oregon Coast for 17 years.

THE PHOTOS

When I approached Astoria High School digital photography teacher Mickey Cereghino in October about the possibility of collaborating with his students on my rain project, he was incredibly enthusiastic. The students were, too, especially when they learned that pizza would be their reward. Over the next couple of months, Cereghino’s photographers began taking shots of rain with the only proviso being: no clichÊs; show people a new way to look at rain. Teach about its beauty and metaphors. I joined them on several occasions, and both Cereghino and I contributed our interpretations. My special thanks to Astoria High School students and their photography teacher. They took some outstanding pictures, only a few of which made it into this layout. I have no doubt we’ll be collaborating again.

Advance your print, radio, television and social media marketing right into rain. Sell rain and sell it hard.

(I know of at least one coastal manufacturer.) Have guests memorize this rain mantra and recite at dinner:

Rain is the means to grow. Open your mind. Reverse the deluge to your advantage. Turn gray into gold.

Rain is born to run; the sun born to sit in a soft chair. Rain is wanton, exciting; the sun constant, boring. Rain gallivants; the sun merely beams.

This event is held at 2 p.m. at the library and is free to the public. Love will focus on his two recent books, “Of Walking in Rain� and “Rose City Heist.� The latter is a true crime tale of the biggest jewelery theft in Portland history, a crime in which Matt Love and his friend became the chief suspects.

3RWDVK >S‫ܥ‬W ‫@ݕ‬

noun 1. any number of chemical compounds containing potassium, most commonly leached from spent wood ash, and often employed in the creation of fertilizers and soap Origin: Current form is first recorded in English in 1751 following the introduction of “pot ash” in 1648, which was borrowed as a loan translation of the obsolete Dutch, potaschen; all refer to the initial process of obtaining the substance through the means

of evaporating an ashen solution in a cast iron pot. “The majority of cargo from Washington and Oregon that travels on the Columbia River is exports. Wheat from Eastern Washington or corn or soy from as far away as Kansas can make its way to Asia or the U.S. or South American West Coast. Bulk exports of potash for fertilizer plants, lumber for milling or oil products destined for refineries on the U.S. coast are common, as are imports of hundreds of foreign automobiles on eight-story high transport ships. Anything from name-brand tennis shoes to fireworks can be on in-bound ships. Neither the bar pilots or CRBP employees usually know about the cargo in the ships they guide.” —“Columbia River Bar Pilots of Astoria,”The Daily Astorian, Thursday, Aug. 22, 2013

“Mr. Rogers, of Rogers & Pyatt, importers of gums, shellac and chemicals, and manufacturers of varnish, made a statement which quoted President Main of the Tarrant Company as saying that the ‘Rogers and Pyatt people stored much chlorate of potash with us and this may have caused the explosion. I am inclined to think that it did.’”

BOOKSHELF By RYAN HUME Just finished

“Carver: Collected Stories” by Raymond Carver The Library of America, 2009 Plot Notes: A husband tasked with feeding his well-to-do neighbors’ cat while they are away is drawn further and further into their empty apartment by the call of their things. A young couple happen upon a heap of furniture out in a front yard, mistaking the end of a marriage for a garage sale. Another husband tries to understand the depth of the connection his wife has with a former boss, a blind man staying the night at their house. And in perhaps his most famous and imitated story, “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” four

friends — two couples all embarking on second marriages — discuss their personal meanings of love as a bottle of gin and the afternoon light wane. Take Away: Like Hemingway, Carver writes powerful, barebones stories in unadorned prose. One of the Pacific Northwest’s most noted scribes (born in Clatskanie, he sadly died in Port Angeles, Washington, at age 50), Carver is remembered for his melancholy portraits of working-class malaise, the wedge between the sexes and his knowing portrayals of alcoholics on either side of sobriety, but this collection shows that his stories were also sly and very often funny with a generous wit. This comprehensive volume issued by the

Library of America gathers all of Carver’s celebrated story collections as well as “Beginners,” for the first time in print. This is the original, unedited manuscript of the stories that would become “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love,” many of which were so severely altered by his editor, Gordon Lish, that many literary critics have to reassess their appraisal of this collection as a groundbreaking work of minimalist fiction. Now’s the chance to read them side by side and make your own decision. Recommended For: Lit geeks, fans of Alice Munro or the short story in general, book collectors and aspiring writers Bonus: Carver has gotten the Hollywood treatment a few times. Many of his stories were utilized to create Robert Altman’s “Short Cuts” in 1993, while “Why Don’t You Dance?” served as inspiration for the 2010 recession-era Will Ferrell dramedy “Everything Must Go.” Lately, he has been name-checked at the multiplex in “Birdman,” as Michael Keaton’s character is attempting to stage an adaptation of “What We Talk About When We Talk About Love.”

Other books:

“Carver Country: The World of Raymond Carver Photographs” by Bob Adelman with excerpts from the work of Raymond Carver Quantuck Lane Press, 2013 More on Carver: Gain intimate access to the lives, times and landscapes of Raymond Carver through Bob Adelman’s duotone photographs. Carver was known to indulge his wanderlust, and Adelman captures many steps of his journey through Washington, Oregon, California, New York state and more. The photographs are paired with selections from Carver’s prose, poetry and letters to reveal the physical locations of an otherwise fictional universe.

“10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse” by JJ Smith Atria, 2014

New Year buzz: Even if you have already fallen off the resolution bandwagon, January is still a good month for a cleanse following the heavy doses of just about everything that rides along with the holiday season. Keep in mind though that the authors and publishers of all diet books disavow any and all responsibility for adverse effects.
