on the cover Kathy Marmesh, of Surfside, Wash., reads through emails while visiting the Ocean Park Timberland Library. Marmesh has been visiting the library for seven years to check out books and movies.

First Esmé sings a song inspired by light, how both ends of the spectrum – complete exposure and complete darkness – are blinding. Her voice is arresting, in the same vein as Feist and Regina Spektor. She released her first solo album “All Princes, I” in October. Another short, melancholy song focuses on love and loss. Esmé says she’s been thinking about the approaching spring and the cycles of blooming flowers: crocuses, daffodils, poppies. It’s beautiful but sad at the same time. “Nothing that we love can

stay, but it’s easy to forget among the flowers,” Esmé says. “Maybe we should just forget. Maybe that’s it.” Nick picks up the guitar and sings a song from the point of view of a bird: the ortolan, a tiny songbird that is roasted and eaten whole in France. This pinnacle of gastronomy is an endangered species and illegal to hunt in France. But though the bird is officially off the menu at all French restaurants, some still serve the delicacy in secret. Nick says he heard about the ortolan on “This American Life,” where

eating it was described as both a “disgusting and transcendent experience.” “It just struck me: it’s a bird that is so beloved for both its singing voice and its taste, yet that’s its undoing,” Nick said. The duo sing together and solo, and the end of every song is met with enthusiastic applause.

A large, almost-square living room is full of spindly chairs, comfortable couches and adorable armchairs, all set up facing the “stage” in the corner. White twinkle lights hang across one wall, giving a starry glow to the low-lit room. The record player, hidden in the closet, sounds its music softly until someone switches it off. People laugh and joke, settling into their seats. The scent of homemade tacos wafts from the kitchen: the band’s dinner. It’s Saturday night at the Sou’wester Lodge in Seaview, Wash. We’re in the main building of the lodge itself, my first time visiting. People staying in the vintage travel trailer rentals, cabins and campground trickle through the doors, their interest piqued. Portland musician Nick Jaina sits down at the drums, and Esmé Patterson, a member of the Denver-based band Paper Bird, picks up the acoustic guitar. Esmé’s fluffy curls form a halo around her head. The duo has been touring around Oregon this month, and the Sou’wester is their fourth stop.

Story and photos by DAVID CAMPICHE

Treasure Beach January wind Razes wave tops, Throws white-hatted spume High above lacy winter surf Reminding One of Moulin Rouge dancing girls, Layers of white petticoats.

For a moment, time dribbles to a stop. Three friends walk a deserted beach. This beach bears the name of a sunken vessel, the Admiral Benson. It could be Clatsop Beach, or one of the many wonder spots that identify our Columbia-Pacific landscape. The point is this: We are here on a winter’s day, walking and laughing, and occasionally, holding hands. All are dear friends. There are treasures along the way; treasures if you can spot them. Gulls and sandpipers scatter before us like fine winged pathfinders. Look here: a pile of turquoise crabbing rope, a collection of Christmas ribbons, tangled among driftwood. A lime-green crab float. Sculpture emerging like brightly wrapped birthday gifts from the flotsam. We are happy explorers on a deserted beach. Benson Beach at Cape Disappointment State Park is eroding. Long buried pilings, logs and emerging tree stumps are being exposed as the sandy embankment etches away. These graying wooden hulks dangle over the beach, creating sculptures, natural art forms that will change with the weather-damning exposure of wind and tide. My two companions live in Seattle, but not 4 | January 24, 2013 | coastweekend.com

permanently. They were married on Willapa Bay about a decade ago and have built a summer house nearby. Jane is a landscaper. Gus teaches marshal arts. By choice, these remain invented names. Just six months ago, Jane found herself running aimlessly down a strange street. She didn’t know or remember why. She submitted to an MRI. Turned out, she had an inoperable brain tumor. A week later, Jane had a severe stroke. Half her body was paralyzed. The doctors said death was eminent, maybe a week or two, maybe a little more. Everyone believed that except Jane. Soon others joined her love train. Friends and family gathered. Called and sent cards and emails. Boatloads of lovely food flooded in. To be sure, everyone circled the wagons. There was good medicine, but more powerful were the affirmations of this strong, sensitive woman and of many loved ones. Jane began to see herself well. Jane is quietly spiritual. She and that cadre of friends began to talk that inoperable tumor into submission. A miracle began to happen. Call that God, or the Force, or just a festival of love. Honestly, nobody can really say. The doctors were flummoxed. Six months after the diagnosis, Jane is walk-

like time well spent. Jane walks with a slight limp, but walk she does, unafraid of tomorrow. Somehow she has fallen into an existential moment, a kind of Be-Here-Now time frame of exploration

and healing – what will be, will be. Rain comes. There are still days that she shoulders severe pain. But today, a rare shaft of sunlight breaks through pewter-faced clouds. The sky is rich in precious metal colors: silver, gold, platinum. A competent photographer would click away. I try, and wish my capable wife was along. Here is paradise. Here is hope, gold-plated. Secretly among ourselves, we will rename the beach, call it Treasure Beach or the beach of Good Hope. Today Jane walks and sings, swathed by luck, determination and a commitment to meet life’s circumstances with courage. Perhaps she is an angel of God, come to teach us how lucky we are. All the while, Treasure Beach waits for you and me.

Oregon Library Passport Program Local libraries join statewide program to help readers gain access to more ASTORIA — Astoria Public Library and the Dora Badollet Library at Clatsop Community College are participating in a new Oregon Library Passport Program, which allows card-holders from participating libraries to register and use other participating libraries across the state. The Oregon Library Association is launching this voluntary program that expands Oregonians’ access to library materials, something that has been a goal of the professional organization for many years. “The Oregon Library Passport Program recognizes that library service ought to mirror the way Oregonians live, work, shop and play, and reduce barriers to library service,” said Michele Burke, president of the Oregon Library Association. The underlying premise of the Passport Program is that cardholders of legally-established libraries ought to be able to use other legally-established libraries. The Passport Program is meant to be an exchange; a library extends service to users of other participating libraries and vice versa. Here is how it works. Oregon public and academic libraries opt to become Passport Program participating libraries. Their registered card-holders are then able to visit, register without the customary “out of area” card fees and use the materials at any other participating library. Their home library card becomes their “passport” to registering for

Activities Saturday, Feb. 2, include workshopping and critique of writing from 9 a.m. to noon, writing time from 1 to 4 p.m., and dinner together in Manzanita at 7 p.m. More workshopping and critique will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 3. The workshop will be led by Kelly Wallace, who owns and operates the Writers Boot Camp West. She was a Hawthorne Fellow at The Attic Institute and is a member of the Pinewood Table writer’s group led by Stevan Allred and Joanna Rose. To register visit www.boot camp4writers.com/register/ For more information contact Wallace at 503-575-5104 or bootcamp4writers@gmail.com

library cards at other participating libraries throughout Oregon. Patrons are responsible for managing their checkouts, complying with the Passport member library’s policies regarding due dates, late fees and materials limits, and must return materials directly to the library they borrowed from; there is no library-to-library return delivery mechanism. Astoria Public Library director Jane Tucker describes the Oregon Library Passport Program as “a wonderful opportunity for Astorians and all Oregonians.” Tucker said she is especially excited that “with the Passport Program, cardholders at the Astoria Public Library get to engage in a strong collaboration with Clatsop Community College and many other libraries around the state.” Clatsop Community College library director Candice Watkins emphasizes that the program expands opportunity for county residents. “Since Clatsop County doesn’t have county-wide library service, this is a golden advantage for those county residents who purchase cards at a participating library. We invite county residents outside the city limits to join a participating library and gain access to an extensive network of public and academic libraries, including the CCC library and the Astoria Public Library.” So, if you are traveling south down the coast and need some beach reading, you can sign up for library cards in Rockaway,

Garibaldi or Florence. Or perhaps you live in Astoria, but work in Hillsboro, and want to use Hillsboro Public Library during your lunch hour. No problem. In addition, Oregonians who are conducting research will be able to tap into the vast resources of academic libraries, including the Oregon State University libraries, Oregon Health Sciences University and several community colleges. The key to the Passport Program is that you first need a library card from your participating local “home” library. Passport Program details and a list of participating libraries can be found at www.librariesoforegon.org/Passport. Or contact Astoria Public Library at 503-325-7323 or Clatsop Community College at 503-3382462 for more information about the program. The list of participating libraries continues to grow – by January there were more than 55 libraries statewide signed up for the program and additional libraries will continue to join throughout 2013. If Oregonians are interested in using the Passport Program, but your local library is not yet listed as a participant, be sure to inquire with your library’s staff. For nearly 75 years, the Oregon Library Association has existed to promote and advance library service through public and professional education and cooperation. Learn more at www.OLAweb.org

For years, the group has logged thousands of miles on the road throughout the nation’s heartland, making fans the hard way – one at a time. With the aid of positive word of mouth and an unwavering perseverance, Red Wanting Blue has established a devoted following throughout the Midwest, where the band regularly fills clubs reserved for bigger names.

BOOK REVIEW

‘Enemy in the Mirror’ Historical novel explores love and fury, tragedy and hope in the Pacific War

f you are looking for a new book to chase away the winter blues but can’t decide on one genre, you are in luck. Mark Smith’s new book, “Enemy in the Mirror: Love and Fury in the Pacific,” deftly combines drama, romance and action into one enjoyable read. Published in 2012, the novel is set against a backdrop that ranges from recognizable North Oregon Coast locales to across the Pacific Ocean in Imperial Japan. History buffs will delight in the attention to period detail. Most importantly, “Enemy in the Mirror” serves as a historical lesson on the useless tragedy of war and its transformative effects on family life. When Dr. Mark Smith, an academic pediatrician, retired from his post at the University of Washington to live in Manzanita, he became intrigued with the history of Imperial Japanese attacks on Oregon during World War II. After several years of research here and in Japan, he created a fictionalized account of these events from both American and Japanese viewpoints. Smith recently debuted “Enemy in the Mirror: Love and Fury in the Pacific War” locally with a November 2012 reading at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita, where he reviewed the history of these events. While Smith’s story is set against the landscape of war, it is certainly not an action novel. He has written a novel that is carefully crafted and developed, fully imagined and emotionally engrossing. “Enemy in the Mirror” intertwines the stories of ordinary people on two Pacific shores, one in coastal Japan and the Northwest coast, whose lives are irrevearsably altered by World War II. As the reader switches between nations, cultures and characters, you get a com-

plete understanding of the terrible complexities of war and its reach into lives with much commonality. Instead of resorting to melodramtic clichés, the book gently reminds readers of the horrors of war while presenting human faces of the conflict that shaped a generation. The depth of Smith’s research is obvious, and he deftly takes readers on a tour of a world at war. His best attributes include vividly descriptive scenes, excellent portrayal of raw human emotion and dialogue that has the ring of authentic-

‘Enemy in the Mirror’ brings us many lessons in how fragile life can be and how important it is to give and receive love, even when the world seems to be falling to pieces around us. ity representative of the period. Smith locates us in the thick of battle without pulling punches, something that is needed in the 21st century when so many people seem desensitized to violence. He also lets us see how lives of those who wait at home for their loved ones to return can resort to a daily struggle to retain sanity. “Enemy in the Mirror” brings us many lessons in how fragile life can be and how important it is to give and recieve love, even when the world seems to

be falling to pieces around us. It is to the author’s credit that we come to see these lessons less as suffering than as the epiphany of grace. Because Smith has steeped his characters in such philosophical territory, the reader is eager to learn more of their interior struggles, doubts, and moments of grief or bliss. It is a reminder that not everything in life can be wrapped up in a tidy little package, especially during wartime. Life is messy and uncertain, and Smith’s protaganists portray that directly from the pages. Writing historical fiction poses daunting challenges, as events must align themselves with the facts. This means that characters sometimes are restricted in their movements. This is not the case with “Enemy in the Mirror,” as Smith pushes his characters up against their historical backdrop and challenges readers to respond. The book leaves the reader with a sense of sadness about the futile, senseless tragedy of war, and the reader is fully invested in this as the story winds down. There is, however, also a sense hope for the future because of the courageous and unyielding optimism of those who survived. In that way, Smith’s book is a love letter to past generations and a peace accord to future ones. In a new century with new wars, the story that Smith tells in “Enemy in the Mirror” is, unfortunately, on a seemingly continuous loop. But, as the author shows readers, hope lives even when the world seems to be on fire. Hope lives in those who wait at home and those who want nothing more than to return home – whether that’s to Japan, the Pacific Northwest or any point beyond. Smith’s book is, above all else, a reminder that hope survives human events’ best attempts to snuff it out.

“There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Public Library ... where neither rank, office nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.” –Andrew Carnegie, American steel magnate, philanthropist and builder of 2,509 libraries worldwide.

uring the 1960s, in response to an overwhelming number of requests, the Washington State Library Commission conducted a four-year grant-funded Demonstration Project to improve library services for rural residents in five southwest counties of the Evergreen State. Fueled by the twin spirits of necessity and innovation, the project sought to unify the small districts already in existence while simultaneously establishing service to residents in previously excluded areas. Finding immense strength through this experimental collaboration, the program was a success, and in November 1968, it committed to the truth in An-

drew Carnegie’s democratic ideal: The rural citizens of all five counties pledged their tax and timber dollars for the benefit of all, and with a vote for permanent change, created the Timberland Regional Library. Today, spanning almost 7,000 square miles, with 27 community libraries serving a population of nearly 500,000 residents, TRL continues with obvious success on the path of its original mission: “To provide information, resources, services and welcoming places where all people are free to read, learn, connect and grow.” It’s an ambitious vision. But for residents of Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula, with three nearby branches to fill their needs (Ilwaco, Naselle and Ocean Park, Wash.), it’s easily within reach. “What continues to impress me most about this system,” says Susan Carney, youth library associate at the newly remodeled branch in Ocean Park, “is that here we are, literally steps away from the edge of the continent, and look at what we have access to. Simply walk into the library, and instantly you’re not as isolated as you thought you were.” Indeed, with the universal pass of a library card (free to residents in the Timberland district but also available to anyone else for $83 per year), users at any branch have TRL’s entire collection – a magnificent 1.7 million items – completely at their disposal. And with a commitment to rural communities still central to its service, the district employs its own courier system to deliver any requested item – books, CDs, DVDs and thousands of magazines and newspapers – to a patron’s branch of choice, usually within just a few days. Of

‘Here we are, literally steps away from the edge of the continent, and look at what we have access to. Simply walk into the library, and instantly you’re not as isolated as you thought you were.’ well as encyclopedias, standardized test materials and emergency preparedness resources, just to name a few. Additionally, using the library’s subscription to Freegal, a downloadable music service, patrons can choose from hundreds of thousands of songs in every genre of music, legally downloading up to three per week which can be kept indefinitely. And, staying fully in tune with technology that enhances service, TRL recently announced access to its latest online addition, Ed2Go, which offers more than 300 six-week-long online courses for professional development or personal enrichment, all led by expert instructors. If the technological aspects of the modern library seem a bit overwhelming, rest assured: For Timberland users, the heart of the system still resides within its walls. At each branch, an array of entertaining educational and cultural activities for all ages continually connects users with the library.

Café and Bistro

When you go to 42nd Street Café and Bistro’s website, the opening banner proudly proclaims, “finally a restaurant that both locals and visitors love” – and in all honesty, after dining at this restaurant for many years, I cannot think of a description more apt. If a tourist asked me where to get a great burger on the Long Beach Peninsula, I would say, “42nd Street.” An outstanding cup of clam chowder? Forty-

Salmon tartare on crostini at 42nd Street Café and Bistro.

‘Finally a restaurant that both locals and visitors love’ second Street. A night out for a special occasion? Forty-second Street. A delicious breakfast or lunch during a busy work day? You get the picture. Owners Blaine and Cheri Walker have spent 26 years in the restaurant industry, both as owners and as chefs, and their commitment to culinary excellence, combined with their desire to provide locals and tourists alike with a singular experience, are to be applauded. According to the “about us” synopsis on their menu, the Walkers envision their restaurant as sort of a modern-day roadhouse: a tavern, inn or club on a country road, says Webster. And I find this a charming idea – a place where folks of any ilk can mix and mingle and be, while enjoying some of the best food the Peninsula has to offer. The atmosphere is elegantly comfortable, like dining in a good friend’s dining room. The menu features great depth and breadth, including down-home, comfort-food favorites like beef stroganoff and country-fried steak, but also elegant and sophisticated dishes such as butternut squash and gorgonzola-stuffed ravioli with apples and madeira. We were served by Jean Marc Bourgouin on the heels of his Coast Weekend 2012 Readers’ Choice Award for Best Server. As a regular of the restaurant, I have been lucky enough see him in action on multiple occasions, and there are few restaurants that I look forward to eating at for both the food and the service. He works the busy dining room as artfully as a dancer and with a certain painstaking, romantic attention to detail and a “je ne sais quois” that is

I ate each bite with a rather puzzled expression on my face … I’m not sure, on an intellectual level, how, exactly, all those flavors could possibly “jive,” but jive they did, enough so that I wish the dish had a permanent home on the menu. When we ordered our entrées and were asked about salad selections, it gave me pause to consider that not many high-end restaurants offer this anymore, favoring instead to break up each menu item “a la carte,” and I appreciate restaurants that still include a salad or soup with an entrée. My first entrée of seafood stew was, on this evening, cooked as cioppino; the restaurant changes up the stew broth nightly and has often featured it as a curry with yellow saffron broth and as a creole-infused creation. The cioppino was exquisite: salmon, mussels, clams, shrimp, white fish and scallops adrift in a sea of tangy yellow onions, tart tomato and a rich, red-wine

March 15 for reading books), the Family Read Aloud (a challenge that invites families with youngsters to read in every room in their home), and Timberland Reads Together (a month-long series of events held each October, all around a single book), users are consistently drawn back through the doors of their local branches. And with year-round events like author lectures, free tax help, story times, senior learning assistance, teen gaming nights, financial planning seminars, book groups, genealogy classes and free arts and crafts workshops, patrons keep returning in daily droves. “This is such a crossroad for the community,” says Beth Sexton, library assistant at the Ocean Park branch. “Here we see people of every age, from every walk of life, from every kind of economic background, with every level of education imaginable.

Others,” she adds with a smile, “come in for the good, old-fashioned reason of wanting a warm place to quietly read a good book. The great part is, each and every one of these things is totally appropriate and just exactly what we’re here for.” Cheryl Heywood, TRL’s new library director, couldn’t agree more. “Timberland grows and changes as its residents, organizations and communities grow and change.

The Tall Ships return Make plans now to see sailing ships as they visit in spring, summer ABERDEEN, Wash. — The brig Lady Washington, the official ship of the state of Washington, and the topsail ketch Hawaiian Chieftain, have scheduled a seven-week tour of the Oregon Coast and Columbia River that will include 11 ports in Washington and Oregon. The ships are marking the 225th anniversary of the first landfall by a U.S.-flagged vessel on the shores of what would later become Oregon. The ships last conducted a similar tour in 2009. On Aug. 14, 1788, the original Lady Washington, sailing from Boston around Cape Horn to what would later be known as Vancouver Island in Canada, made its first landing at the body of water now called Tillamook Bay. The stop was part of a furtrading expedition led by Cap-

tain Robert Gray, who would later discover the mouth of the Columbia River and give his name to Grays Harbor, the home port of the modern Lady Washington. Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain have scheduled the following stops, with public availability: Coos Bay: May 1 to 12 Astoria: May 15 Rainier: May 18 to 19 St. Helens: May 21 Vancouver, Wash.: May 23 to 27 Hood River: May 31 to June 2 The Dalles: June 4 Pasco, Wash.: June 8 to 17 Stevenson, Wash.: June 22 to 23 Kalama, Wash.: June 25 Ilwaco, Wash.: June 27 to July 1

At most stops, the ships will offer public tours and excursions, including Battle Sails, which are recreations of a typical 18th-century naval skirmish, complete with cannon fire (without cannon balls), and Adventure Sails, which are family-oriented experiences with an opportunity to take the helm of a real tall ship. Tickets are available now at www.historicalseaport.org or by calling 800-200-5239. Because the ships depend

upon the weather, the schedule is subject to change without notice. Public and private schools, home-school groups and service groups may schedule special one-hour and three-hour education programs aboard each ship. Public schools designated Title I by the U.S. Department of Education may qualify for significant discounts on program costs. For information, call 800-2005239. Launched in 1989, the mod-

42nd St: A local treasure

base. The flavors were intense and assertive, richly spiced and completely satisfying. A second entrée of the restaurant’s popular eight-hour pot roast, slow-roasted with mushrooms, onions and carrots and served with mashed potatoes and pan gravy and sweet squash purée on the side was also a toothsome, savory treat – comfort food on overdrive. Dessert was an apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, which

served as the perfect accompaniment to the delectable, mellow pot roast, as well as a chocolate rum cheesecake, as decadent and rich as the cioppino. Of course I am merely adding my voice to what is already a chorus of praise; the restaurant has been lauded by local and national publications alike, including Sunset magazine and Travel and Leisure magazine. Forty-second Street Café and Bistro is a local treasure, and it gives me great pleasure to award it my highest rating of five stars.
