‘Doubt’ provokes moral outrage, inspires discussion tainty. Why are we inclined to believe one party over another when the evidence doesn’t privilege either one? What prejudices color our perception of events for which we weren’t present? Our instinct is to respond to the plot twists with moral outrage that we often don’t know where to direct. At ﬁrst, we feel conﬁdent that Sister Aloysius, who accuses Father Flynn of

ohn Patrick Shanley’s “Doubt, A Parable,” a play showing in Nehalem and the subject of this issue’s cover story (see Page 8), is a unsettling piece of theater, and not simply because it involves whether a priest molested a boy at a Catholic school. It is unsettling because it compels the audience to track their own moral judgments and sense of cer-

child abuse, is probably incorrect, and may be seizing on an opportunity to rid the school of a bothersome priest whose progressive attitudes, she believes, threaten the institution. Then we’re not so sure. We believe the head nun is ﬁrm in her convictions and almost possessed by a pathological certitude — about everything from her allegations against Father Flynn to her

faith in God — until we don’t. We think we know how the alleged victim’s mother will react to the news that her son, Donald Muller, may have been “interfered with” — until she reveals that the boy’s life has been one long crisis, and forces us to ask: Is it really worse to have a caring priest show an interest in him, even if it is sexual, than to be regularly beaten by a father who despises him (possibly for being gay), or relocated

to a different school where white students may kill him because he is black? And we think the priest is innocent, and that we’ve been judging the situation fairly, distinguishing the just from the unjust, until we don’t know what to think. The play contains so much weighty matter — traditional vs. modern values, segregation vs. integration, homosexuality vs. pedophilia, doubt vs. certainty — that it’s tempting to

wonder if the playwright kept a checklist of hot-button issues on hand while he composed it. The reason it works as absorbing drama is that the issues are kept in close-up, played out as the personal story of adults whose decisions will determine the survival of Donald Muller — a child who is always offstage, but whose presence is felt in every scene, haunting characters who claim to have his best interests at heart.

FOR COAST WEEKEND

f you’re a gardener, Music in the Gardens 2017 is an excellent opportunity to feed your passion. If you’re a non-gardener, a day exploring seven private gardens may make you wish you were, for gardening is a labor of love. “Music in the Gardens” is a fundraiser for the Water Music Society. This is the 11th annual tour, offered one day each year. The tour takes place 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 15. “This is a wonderful chance to wander through privately owned gardens on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula,” said Nancy Allen, who is co-chairing the event with Darlene Houser. “From Chinook to Oysterville, we have worked hard to choose sites this year that are water-related.”

Continued from Page 4 The gardens

To protect the privacy of hosts, owners’ names and garden locations are revealed on a site map available the day of the tour. • In Chinook, an owner’s home was literally picked up and moved forward. The result: a closer view of the Columbia River and an expanded front and back garden. It’s complete with a bevy of bountiful blooms, raised vegetable beds, a large garden shed and chickens, too. “I love talking about my garden, anytime, anywhere,” the host said. • In Seaview, a residence belonging to a busy working couple has a fully remodeled home and yard. She is a container gardener, changing pots out with plants that suit the seasons (and her whims); he, a professional landscaper, is in charge of the home’s exterior stone walls and sod.

“I hope we will be ready for the tour,” he said. She responded: “We will be.” • Heading north to Long Beach, there’s a one-acre site that looks much larger. A small farm with several hoop houses, also known as domed polytunnels, encourages flowers and vegetables. The owners constantly test new things. “This year, it’s immature ginger, wasabi and turmeric,” the man of the house said. Don’t miss the unique exterior sprinkling system — innovation at work. • At Tide’s West in Long Beach, a DIY-enthusiast is an avid gardener, landscaper and builder. She goes way beyond working with your basic screwdrivers. She built her out-buildings as well as her wide, welcoming porch. An extensive garden, colorful shed and porch all complement each other. “I’m constantly adding things. I don’t know when

ville, on Sandridge Road there’s an edible oasis, a forest of gardening that includes fruit trees. “If you get it right, your food forest will feel like it belongs … needing little human input while producing things like fruits, mushrooms or whatever,” the host said. • In historic Oysterville, a compound with several out-buildings also includes a large grass croquet field, which is like a putting green and as smooth, requires mowing twice. Vegetable and fruit gardens dominate the backyard. Flowers bloom throughout the property.

to quit. All of this is my passion, and that’s good,” she said. • Also in the Long Beach area, a cozy cottage scarcely hints at the extensive backyard landscaping that borders a towering forest.

“Gardens are a lot of work. You’ve got to stay with them. And we’re trying to get it back in shape after our miserable winter,” the host said. • Heading north on the Peninsula toward Oyster-

Artists, music, craftspeople

In the seven gardens, there is more activity than just what grows. Plein air artists — Noel Thomas, a prominent Astoria watercolorist, is returning — will be busy with easels and brushes.

Craftspeople will display their wares. And musicians will offer everything from indie-rock, blues and bluegrass, to classical. Light refreshments and a raffle are also on tap. New this year is the colorful touring trolley. Seats will be sold on a first-come basis; tickets are available online. The trolley offers 30 people an opportunity to sit back and be chauffeured from garden to garden. Stop and smell the roses — or the myriad of other flora and fauna that, with love a great deal of tending, grow into things of beauty. Look, listen, taste and learn. Music in the Gardens is one of several fundraisers for the Water Music Society, whose mission is to bring classical, jazz and rock-classics to the Peninsula. Each year, the Society continues to make generous donations to the Peninsula area schools’ music programs. CW

Rising Tide Productions stages Pulitzer Prizewinning play in Nehalem

All three lead performers in the production of ‘Doubt’ take the stage at once during a rehearsal in Nehalem. COLIN MURPHEY THE DAILY ASTORIAN

By ERICK BENGEL FOR COAST WEEKEND

n a New York Catholic school in 1964, the head nun, Sister Aloysius, suspects the school’s new priest of sexually abusing a student. The priest, a popular, likable man named Father Flynn, offers a plausible denial. But the nun — equipped with no evidence except her unbending certainty — sets out to remove the priest. The collision between these characters is at the heart of “Doubt, A Parable,” the latest show mounted

by Rising Tide Productions, a local nonproﬁt theater company. The play, staged at the North County Recreation District Performing Arts Center in Nehalem, opens 7 p.m. Friday, July 14, and runs through Sunday, July 30. Directed by George Dzundza — a professional actor and Netarts resident known for roles in ﬁlms such as “The Deer Hunter” and “Crimson Tide,” and TV shows that include “Law & Order” and “Grey’s Anatomy” — “Doubt” features actors familiar to community theater audiences in Clatsop and Tillamook counties.

‘Tension and heartache’

John Patrick Shanley’s 2004 play, which won a Tony Award for Best Play and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, is “relevant for our times,” Dzundza said. “I think that we have a lot of things going on in the United States today that were going on in 1964,” he said. Cast member Brenna Sage, of Hebo, pointed out that looming behind the action is the creation of Vatican II, when the Catholic Church adopted a more welcoming stance toward the modern world. Father Flynn’s liberal views, reﬂecting the

reformed Church, clash with those of the conservative Sister Aloysius, a staunch defender of the old ways. “When there’s a battle between the traditionalists and a progressive, there’s a lot of tension and heartache,” Dzundza said. Is Sister Aloysius on a moral mission to catch a pedophile priest? Or has she merely found a way to take down a man whose openness and tolerance offend her? “There is absolutely no evidence that this priest has done anything wrong,” Dzundza said. “The purpose

Director George Dzundza and the cast of ‘Doubt’ discuss the production after a recent dress rehearsal of the play in Nehalem.

Continued from Page 8 of the play is to allow the audience to — in exploring their own prejudices — to see what they feel is true, whether he’s innocent, or whether she’s correct.” And there’s another wrinkle: The alleged victim, Donald Muller, is the school’s first and only black student, a boy beaten at home and alienated from his white classmates. Father Flynn has taken him under his protection. If Sister Aloysius’s suspicions are wrong, she not only destroys Flynn’s reputation, she takes away the boy’s only ally. “The one thing that every character in this play has in common is, we are out to protect the child,” said Margaret Page, who plays Sister Aloysius.

‘Something special’

“Doubt,” which began rehearsals last fall, is Rising Tide’s second production. In 2016, the theater company staged “I Am

My Own Wife,” another play that explores the humanity of individuals and challenges the moral sensibilities of viewers. The company has chosen to put on one carefully selected production each year and fine-tune it over many months. “We dedicate ourselves to try to make it an event, to make it something special,” Dzundza said. “It does my heart really good to see how hard everybody works, and how committed they are to the process.” Assistant Director Scott Campbell said community theater is a “really rewarding experience,” but participants “have to realize it’s work.” “You know, a lot of people do community theater as a romp sort of thing. It’s a bucket list deal or whatever,” he said. But Rising Tide Productions is “for people who want to be a little bit more serious about developing a character and learning what it’s like to try to do that process.”

Doubts

The play is shot through with doubts. In the foreground is the uncertainty surrounding what happened in the rectory, and how the opposing sides — the implacable nun and the accused priest — can make the truth known. “Father Flynn has a lot of doubt in simply how to address the issue and not just have it explode,” said Joseph Oyala, of Cannon Beach, who plays the priest. Meanwhile, the characters suspect each others’ motives, even raise the issue of questioning faith in God. Finally, the audience is asked to question their reaction to the drama, whether they can be counted on to be fair-minded in a situation where the stakes are high but proof doesn’t point either way. “I was trying very hard to make somebody who hadn’t seen it before be unsure of his own footing,” said Dzundza, who added that much of the play’s value is in the discussion it provokes. Ben Ruderman, a stage technician, said,

The beauty of theater

By not giving any more information than what is exchanged between the characters — by not making the truth clear, or the heroes and villains readily obvious — the play allows the audience to examine their own state of doubt. “The theater’s a remarkable tool for that, because it allows you to sit and have private, personal thoughts about a situation,” Dzundza said. “And the beauty of it is that every person is seeing a different play; every person is seeing the play in the privacy of their eyes and ears.” The experience of attending live theater is “extremely personal,” Dzundza said. “And I think it’s the way that we grow as a culture.” CW

Mudd Dogs’ Chicago-style hot dogs ‘right on the money’ Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

ccording to the The National Hot Dog & Sausage Council (yes, there is such a thing), Americans devour some 150 million hot dogs every Fourth of July. What’s more, between Memorial and Labor days our dear country is said to consume some 8 billion. With a ‘B.’ With numbers like these, I suppose the existence of a National Hot Dog & Sausage Council isn’t so surprising. Perhaps the phrase “American as apple pie” ought to be amended to something a little meatier. Come to think of it, I’ve enjoyed iconic dogs from sea to shining sea, and at many points in between. I’ve nibbled on Nathan’s Famous on the boardwalk, beneath the twinkling lights of the Coney Island Ferris wheel. I have filled up in New York City on Gray’s Papaya’s “Recession Special,” not to mention at countless carts throughout Manhattan. I’ve braved both the pointless lines at Pink’s in Los Angeles and the late-night verbal abuse at The Wieners Circle at Chicago. Oh, and who can forget the visit to Ben’s Chili Bowl in Washington, D.C., not long after then President-elect Obama paid homage. I have scarfed Chicago dogs before a Cubs game in the shadows of Wrigley Field. Of these prominent dogs and many more, my favorite may well be from the bygone Dog House, a drive-thru hut in Portland that offered rotating daily specials. Sunday’s was a titanic cheese dog, infused with molten drippy cheese that would squirt out in all directions

when the casing ruptured. Despite American’s deep love of the dog, its provenance is European (think “Frankfurter”). Sausages go back much further. Homer’s “Odyssey,” from around 850 B.C., alludes to this budding love story: “As when a man besides a great fire has filled a sausage with fat and blood and turns it this way and that and is very eager to get it quickly roasted …” While often considered a staple of low culture, in 1939, Franklin Delano Roosevelt prepared hot dogs for the King and Queen of England. Our affinity, it seems, has hardly wavered. At the annual Fourth of July hot dog-eating contest at Nathan’s Famous this year, professional eater Joey Chestnut took his chunk out of the 150 million to be consumed that day, cramming a record-setting 72 dogs down his gullet

in just 12 short minutes. On the North Coast today, you’ll find a number of dog devotees. Pronto Pup in Seaside makes corn dogs to order, dipping them in fresh batter before a dunk in the fryer. (I have a chef friend who’s notoriously picky and hard to please, yet he admits a weak spot for this carnival-style fare.) There’s also the new-ish Sasquatch Sausage in Astoria, where, after grinding their own meats, nuance is found with the addition of herbs and spices, as well as refined, thoughtful toppings. I’ve also heard rumblings about some kind of “Monday Bunday” weekly hot dog special at the Warren House in Cannon Beach, but have yet to investigate.

Mudd Dogs

This week, though, I want to

focus on Mudd Dogs in Manzanita, where Chicago-style dogs are done by the book. Literally. Every detail — from the poppy seed buns to the absurd hue of the sweet relish — is right on the money. And money (or, rather, lack thereof) helped birth the Windy City’s signature dog. It was first known as the ‘Depression Sandwich.’ Now, a hot dog isn’t a sandwich, but that’s a column for another day. Anyway … Unlike, say, the Juicy Lucy, the Chicago dog’s recipe is clear. It starts with an all-beef kosher frank, usually Vienna brand, which is Chicago-based. So, of course, Mudd Dogs uses Vienna. A properly prepared Chicago dog is either steamed or boiled, and Mudd Dogs boils. (A grilled frank with Chicago-style toppings is known as a “char.”) Then comes tomato slices, a dill pickle spear, yellow mustard, pickled sport peppers, the almost supernatural, dyed-green sweet relish (a concoction that, too, is shipped in from Chicago), diced white onions, and a sprinkle of celery salt. Indeed, Mudd Dog’s finished product ($6) is almost indecipherable from those in the Vienna’s promo materials, which are strewn around the cart. Bites play the multifaceted briny acids against the thick, juicy, supple frank. Atop the pillow-y,

MUDD DOGS 58 Laneda Ave. Manzanita, Ore., 97130 Hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday Price: $$ – Cash and check only (no cards) Service: Having fun Drinks: Bottled water, soda un-toasted bun are brushstrokes of spice (the mild sport peppers), briny tang (pickles, tomato), sharp mustard, crispness and oil of onion, syrupy-sweet relish, and a hint of earthy, seasoned salt. It is at once familiar and brightly unfurling. Sure, you can order one plain at Mudd Dogs, or deface it with ketchup. (Some vendors in the Windy City who specialize in Chicago-style refuse to even stock ketchup.) But really, you can have a hot dog anywhere; a Chicago-style dog with this kind of t-crossing and i-dotting reverence and with such specific ingredients, not so much. Besides bags of chips and bottled water and soda, the dog is Mudd Dog’s sole offering. Well, there’s also the Big Mudder ($10). When I asked what it was, proprietor Jim Mudd picked up a footlong wiener. “Ahh,” I said, “so it’s just a bigger Chicago dog?” “Just?” Mudd said, taking playful umbrage. “You’re going to have to fix your attitude up around here, bud.” I laughed, then ordered two regular dogs: one to eat in Mudd Dogs’ outdoor patio, and one for later. “Now we’re having fun,” he said. Mudd is absolutely having fun. The summertime-only dog-cart is but a reason to share spot-on Chicago dogs and raise money for his charity, the Mudd Nick Foundation, which in 25-plus years has gathered over $1 million for children’s education. And while the charity has multiple fundraising arms and events, Mudd was wise to include hot dogs in the mix, for America’s love for them is nearly incalculable. CW

Portland’s own William Jenks, Chilean guitarist Alberto Cumplido, and Cuban guitarist Ruben Gonzalez will share the bill.

a single concert,” organizers said. Jenks is a performer and an advocate for the art of guitar, through his much-loved concert series, his teaching and his high-end guitar shop. He also serves on the music faculty at Marylhurst University. Gonzalez, who has studied with Leo Brouwer, won an impressive number of prestigious guitar competitions, and is an in-demand teacher and performer in the Dominican Republic, Venezuela and Argentina. Cumplido is both a

guitarist and a composer; he has experimented with electronic music; composed for dance, film and theater; and explored the intersection of music and the spoken word. The program will include the compositions of George Frederic Handel — specifically, his Harp Concerto Grosso, featuring Jenks on the first guitar part and David Tutmark on the second — Maurice Ravel, Manuel de Falla and Isaac Albeniz. Cumplido will present the music of J.S. Bach and Heitor Villa-Lobos, as well as his own compositions. Gonzalez

Author discusses ‘Oregon’s First Pioneer’ at Seaside library SEASIDE — Jerry Sutherland, author of “Calvin Tibbets: Oregon’s First Pioneer,” will discuss his book at the Seaside Public Library’s Community Room at 1 p.m. Saturday, July 15. The event, hosted by the Friends of the Seaside Library, will include book sales and signings. “When Calvin Tibbets ventured to Oregon Country in 1832, it was looking more British than American,” the library said in a summary. “That’s because Hudson’s Bay Company, the Crown’s proxy, had virtual control of the area and some of their French Canadian employees had retired to farms along the Willamette River.” Before Tibbets, the only Americans in the region were explorers, fur trappers, scientists and sailors. His goal was different: to settle Oregon with Americans and make it part of the United States. Tibbets died soon after achieving his goal, according to press materials, and all that he had done to realize it soon faded into the shadows of Oregon history. Sutherland spent two years scouring archives and visiting Calvin Tibbets’ haunts across the United States and Canada to expand on material his father, Art Sutherland, had collected during the previous seven years. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway St. For more information, visit seasidelibrary.org or call 503-738-6742.

Science adventure books for summer travels asteroids and determine what can be done to avert catastrophic contact. The author has produced other engaging children’s science books on everything from harnessing the energy of ocean waves to infant development. But her best book, in my opinion, is “Eruption! Volcanoes and the Science of Saving Lives.” We who live in the Pacific Northwest tend to affect nonchalance about living within spewing range of the volcanoes on our horizon. In ever-increasing numbers, people live and work in potential volcanic blast zones, yet there seems to be little concern about examples such as Mt. St. Helens’ 1980 eruption that blew out the side of the mountain and set off catastrophic lahars. Heck, St. Helens, Rainier, Crater Lake, and other volcanic peaks in the Cascades are tourist destinations now. Fortunately, while folks like us are snapping selﬁes and watching videos in the visitor center, there’s a cadre of scientists that is doing plenty of worrying on our behalf. At the Cascade Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, Washington, the U.S. Geological Survey recognized that St. Helens’ eruption was hardly an anomaly. More than 50 volcanoes erupt every year across the globe, many of them near densely populated areas. So the USGS has set up the Volcano Disaster Assistance Program to provide training and support for colleagues around the world. Their goal

Aside from doing a great job of detailing the hair-raising adventures of these scientists, this book is terriﬁc because it spotlights their gender and ethnic diversity. What great role models for a fascinating and important profession.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON

If you have middle-grade kids and you’re heading out for a road trip around the Paciﬁc Northwest this summer, may I recommend the books of Portland science writer Elizabeth Rusch as a way of enriching your youngsters’ journey? Maybe you’ll be sleeping out under the stars some evening, or perhaps you’re planning to take in the total solar eclipse next month. If these spark conversations with your children about what’s out there in the great beyond, Rusch’s book “The Mighty Mars Rovers” might be a good pick. Rusch has authored several books for Houghton Mifﬂin Harcourt’s lively Scientists in the Field series. This one focuses on Spirit and Opportunity, the “little rovers that could” — remarkable machines that were expected to work for three months, but actually ended up exploring the Red Planet for years. The book also traces the story of astronomy professor Steven Squyres, who served as the mission’s lead scientist. Early next year, Rusch will have a new book coming out titled “Impact!: Asteroids and the Science of Saving the World.” Those prone to worry might be alarmed to know that an estimated 150 million asteroids currently hurtling through our solar system are considered large enough to wipe out an entire city. Rusch will help to allay your fears by introducing the scientists who are working on ways to identify the most dangerous
