Learn how to make cheese Marc Bates to lead workshop Aug. 12 CANNON BEACH — The second offering of Introduction to Cheese and Cheese Making Workshop, a one-day event, will be held at the Cannon Beach Chamber Community Hall from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Wednesday, Aug. 12. The workshop includes a cheese tasting of the seven major cheese families and a handson session where participants work in pairs to convert milk to cheese.

The rafÀe prize is a twonight stay for six people at the North Head Lighthouse Keeper’s Home (stay dates between Sept. 30, and March 2016, excluding holidays), plus one catered gourmet dinner for six with paired wine and a continental breakfast for six.

The Keepers of the North Head Lighthouse, a part of Friends of the Columbia Riv-

er Gateway, are pleased to see progress on restoration with new windows and metal work at the top of the tower completed. More work is needed and will proceed as funds are available from the state Legislature.

The Keepers of the North Head Lighthouse continue to raise funds to be used on lighthouse restoration, as state park funds are not believed to be suf-

He has served as an official judge for the U.S. Cheese Championship and World Cheese Championship hosted by the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association, and at competitions of the American

The cost of the workshop including samples and materials is $85 per person in advance or $95 the day of the event, if space is available. There are several Cannon Beach eateries within two blocks of the chamber for participants to eat during their lunch break.

Advance tickets can be

His photographs are hung in various coffee shops in Bea-

verton, he has developed his own website at www.window-to-the-world-photography.com, and his work is for sale on Etsy. Recently his photographs of the Bridge of Sighs and the Leaning Tower of Pisa

in black and white were sold to ABC television and used on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Criminal Mindsâ&#x20AC;? TV show.

Newman answered the following questions about his work: What or who most inspired you to be a photographer?

Growing up, I always loved the photographs in Life magazine. These pictures reached out from all parts of the world and showed both the beauty in landscapes as well as the reality of life. The one person I admired the most was Ansel Adams, who exclusively worked in black and white and took scenic photographs of the western United States.

What type of photography do you prefer and why?

I especially like to take pictures of landscapes, nature, sports and historical objects. I am fascinated by the various textures that nature has provided. I use various types of media to show the details of my work. Currently, I enjoy using aluminum, glass and wood to enhance the composition of my work.

What do you like best about your work?

What I try to do is capture the images in an artistic way by composition or enhancing them on the computer to offer a new perspective.

I try to use photography as an art form, using a camera and a lens like an artist uses a palette and brush.

Oregon Story

Sessions Stories. Poems. Tales. Songs. Secrets. Beer. Contests. Surf Rock. July 25.

Story by DWIGHT CASWELL

As a publisher and writer,” says Matt Love, “I’m interested in non-traditional ways of exhibiting literary work. There’s not enough richness in traditional literary events.”

So Love decided to create his own series of happenings. “Over the past decade I’ve been to a lot of events,” he says, “and I think I know what connects with people.” There would be no quiet readings of erudite prose or abstruse poetry before decorous gatherings. There would be no tea or ¿nger food, no lectures on how to ¿nd an agent. It would be, Love says, “outside academia, just joy.” He envisioned writers and musicians coming to unusual venues like the troubadours that visited medieval villages.

“I’ve had my best times in non-traditional venues,” Love says, “because you never know what’s going to happen next.”

What he came up with is the Oregon Story Sessions, which take place this Saturday, July 25. The three venues, Love says, “exude hard-core Oregon.” Only the ¿rst site is a bookstore, and there the resemblance to ordinary literary gatherings ends. The next event takes place at Fort George Brewery in Astoria, which brewed a beer for the event, followed by readings and a dance party at Love’s second home, the Big O Saloon in Olney.

Love says, “Over the past decade I’ve seen a lot of events, and I’ve learned what connects with people. I’m looking for a non-traditional audience for words and even live music.” Similar events have grown in popularity around Oregon, and when Love held an event at the Big O last year, over 100 people attended. He was tapping into something that was, “reÀective and moving, with an overarching theme of fun. Storytelling is fun.”

In an increasingly corporatized and digitized world, the Oregon Story Sessions are, Love says, “completely outside the corporate mainstream. You couldn’t do this at Barnes and Noble. It’s a different way to perform and connect with people without the bigness of it all. You gotta bring the show, cut through the traf¿c, get their attention.”

The Sessions kick off at noon Saturday at Godfather’s Books in

Astoria (they put shelves on casters to create a performance space) with readings, music and a literary trivia contest for prizes. Fireballing poet Tim Spoul will take the stage and present his latest collection of poems, “Newported A 3oetic Field Guide to the 3aci¿c &oast.”

Love calls Sproul, “the Steve Prefontaine of Oregon poetry,” and “an incredible performance poet, not what people usually think a poet is.”

Following Sproul will be Oregon Book Award-winning and Scappoose-based author Willy Vlautin, who is also the musical leader behind the roots rock bands Richmond Fontaine and The Delines.

Several members from Astoria reggae band Ma Barley will accompany the readings on Àute and percussion.

Fort George Brewery’s Lovell Showroom is the next stop, at 2:30 p.m. There you can sample the Fort’s take on a 1975 camping beer, Booty’s Back Lager, which was released in conjunction with the publication of Love’s latest book, “A Nice Piece of Astoria.”

Love calls the beer delicious, crisp and refreshing, but there’s more to this session than the beer. Vlautin, Sproul and Love will swap songs and tales, and Love promises an appearance by famed (and long-dead) explorer Meriwether Lewis, “who will apologize for his earlier disparaging remarks about Astoria and hoist a beer or two.” By what means Lewis will appear Love refuses to divulge.

Matt Love may be the greatest living authority on the bars, taverns, saloons, pubs, taprooms, dives, gin mills, and roadhouses of Oregon. At least, as he says, “I’ve written more about Oregon taverns than any other Oregon writer in history, and the Big O is one of the coolest in the state.”That’s where the sessions wrap up, beginning at 6:30 p.m., with readings, music, a Most Dangerous Astoria story contest, and a spirited set of surf rock from that sizzling Lincoln &ity trio the Retroactive Gamma Rays. Get there early and enjoy the surf rock burger special (teriyaki, ham and grilled pineapple) and another frosty glass of Booty’s Back Lager.

The Oregon Story Sessions are all about calling attention to Oregon writers and musicians, and not just those on the bill. “If someone in the audience has a poem to recite or a song to sing,” Love says, “We’ll put ‘em right up there on the stage.” He’s invited local buskers, too, in hopes that they have songs about Astoria.

“Drop in, hear some stories, and support Oregon artists by buying direct,” says Love. It’s all free, and he hopes it will become “a cool Oregon annual event.” He pauses, thinking perhaps of the dance party at the end of the night. A faraway look comes into Matt Love’s eyes. “Surf rock and the sun going down. It’s gonna be awesome.”

The Oregon Story Sessions are all about calling attention to Oregon writers and musicians.

400 KINGS

By TIM SPROUL

Terry needs to catch 400 King salmon to buy back his boat.

The bank put it in hock and padlocked it last week to the number seven dock.

Under the security camera’s black eye, he breaks it free with a ball peen hammer and a half rack of Oly. He siphons gas from a big-ticket trawler and motors out to the great American fish lottery.

He keeps everything he needs in a Folger’s can-flip phone, Little Debbie Snack Cakes and a 2-inch hex bolt he screws tight from the bilge pump to where dreams are held together with duct tape.

There’s a storm coming and his GPS is broken.

The ocean shrugs the boat nonchalantly and ice melts in the cooler.

“400 Kings and this girl’s mine,” he says to the wind vicious with indifference.

He plies past long gone classmates who inherited Dad’s big boat and hand out iPhones to their kids like candy.

He eats the broken glass of open-ocean feeling luck’s current shifting under his feet.

He burns through a pack of smokes and hangs on to what’s in front of him — coffee cup, the old wheel polished by want, and this one night — the anchor chain glittering around his neck like a guiding star, chance dragging in his wake.

Tom’s Fish & Chips Cannon Beach eatery is calibrated for tourists, but serves locals fast too

W

Whilst frolicking in Cannon Beach one could be forgiven for entertaining the idea that the corporations have lost. Within city limits there are no Subways, no Starbucks and nary a Motel 6. By and large, it is a resplendent refuge, though frustrating at times, when reasonably priced gas or an amply stocked grocery store can only be found the next town over.

Which brings us to the odd case of Tom’s Fish & Chips, Cannon Beach’s burgeoning bastion of fast food. Save for a slice of pizza or a pre-made, Saran-wrapped deli sandwich, Tom’s is about is quick as it comes. Flavor — and for that matter, value — suffers accordingly.

Tom’s opened in the fall of 2014. The interior is sleek, airy and brightly branded — even though ,’m entering for the ¿rst time, it feels vaguely familiar. It is bold, yet largely blank.

Despite a seafaring decor, it is one of the leastquaint eateries in the city. And though the slogan reads “classic,” Tom’s looks forward, not back — at least as far as Cannon Beach is concerned.

Another outlier, Tom’s has no table service.

The menu above the counter is as simple as the sign outside announces: “Fish & Chips / Classic Burgers.” You order, pay, get a number, then take a seat or a to go bag. And after a few short minutes, voila!

The Àagship of Tom’s fried ¿sh is Alaskan cod ($9.95). The catch — including salmon and halibut — comes from our neighbors from the far north, and it wasn’t caught this morning. Those seeking local bounty should look elsewhere.

The cod was delivered atop a basket of fries, in three neat rectangles. While prepared upon order, it landed just hot enough as to be eaten immediately. I prefer fish and chips to come out sizzling, the oil just crusted, where you have to crack them open and blow the steam away before even nibbling at the corners. Had this particular day been colder, fried fish served at anything less than scalding would’ve been a bigger disappointment.

Rather than beer battered, the cod was breaded, and the crust was thin. It lacked a crispy crunch, offering scant contrast to the light, tender fish inside. While the cod meat was adequate in freshness and not at all fishy, the combination was rather bland, as the breaded exterior was not seasoned in

any meaningful way. The addition of a few more distinct house-made sauces — like a spicy Cajun or a mango salsa — would go a long way.

Cole-slaw cost extra ($1.95), but it shouldn’t have. It was tasteless and lacking pep that extra salt and pepper couldn’t provide. It was little more than cabbage shreds soaking in a milky-white, slightly-sweetened soup that puddled up at the bottom of the cup.

The double cheeseburger ($5.95), on the other hand, was highly evocative, though mightily inauspicious. Upon biting into the pint-sized portion, I blurted across the booth to my companion: “It tastes just like McDonald’s!”

I’m not exaggerating. My companion concurred: The inspiration was unmistakable. Tom’s burger — even the double-cheese — is roughly the same size as McDonald’s standard issue, which is to say: small. Tom’s version boasted a slightly finer caliber of ingredients, including real cheddar cheese, but the beef was frozen, pre-shaped, and insubstantial — even with two patties. Like McDonald’s, Tom’s cheeseburger sports a soft, airy bun, diced onions, diced pickles, ketchup, mustard

Though Tom’s Fish and Chips serves food quickly, flavor and value suffer.

The Mouth found the fish adequate but rather bland, the coleslaw tasteless, and the burger small and similar to McDonald’s.

Tom’s Fish and Chips is an outlier in Cannon Beach by providing no table service: You order at the counter, pay, get a number and food is delivered — fast and easy for take out.

and that’s it — no tomato, no lettuce, no surprises. The resemblance to McDonald’s is truly uncanny, as if the secret ingredient had been unearthed.

What’s less on-the-nose, however, is the price. After adding fries ($1.95) Tom’s essentially goes toe-to-toe with the numerous, family-friendly pubs within walking distance that offer much more substantial, third-pound beef patties complete with real roughage. To put it another way: After a day spent corralling kids on the beach, a hungry dad may well find himself wanting after Tom’s double-cheese burger and fries.

That family of tourists is precisely who Tom’s is calibrated for: folks who don’t

have the time or desire to be waited on, who want simple flavors the kids are familiar with, and will eat without protest — French fries, burgers and fish sticks drenched in ketchup.

While saving on things like tip, dinner and drinks for a family of four could easily top $50. It’s fast food, but it’s not cheap.

(Tom’s Wednesday special, however, a burger, endless fries and a domestic beer for $6 is tough to beat.)

And yet, for all that calculation, Tom’s offers an almost singular service to residents: a drive-thru type service, only minus the drive-thru. One weekday evening I noticed several locals come in, order, and take their bags to-go. It’s a rarity in Cannon Beach, where some restaurants are known to fuss about making take-out. Some charge extra for the privilege, and none do it as quickly as Tom’s. So perhaps there’s a place for this outlier after all.

As my dinner companion put to me after trying the double-cheese burger: “Well, at least now when I’m craving McDonald’s I won’t have to drive to Seaside.”

Missoula Children’s Theatre camp puts on ‘Sleeping Beauty’ Liberty Theater hosts two back-to-back performances of rock ‘n’ roll fable July 25 ASTORIA — The Liberty Theater’s annual summer theater camp production is “Sleeping Beauty – Rock ’n’ Roll Fable for the ages.”

After a week of practicing and having furn during Missoula Children’s Theatre camp residency, local students will present this original adaptation of the classic fairy tale at 3 p.m. and again at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, July 25 at the Liberty

Theater, 1203 Commercial St. This version of “Sleeping Beauty” was conceived and written by Don Kukla. Music and lyrics are by Kukla and Michael McGill.

In this performance, a new princess is born, and from far and wide the people of the kingdom gather to celebrate. One simple mistake is made — an invitation is misplaced — and the

wrath of the vicious Scarella falls upon the poor infant in the form of a spell. Sleeping Beauty is now destined to sleep for eternity if she should prick her finger on a spindle before she reaches her 16th birthday.

Sleeping Beauty’s Fairy Godmothers do their best to amend the spell, but Scarella, with the help of some nasty Trolls, tricks Sleeping Beauty into pricking her fin-

ger and the spell takes effect.

Five hundred years pass, and Sleeping Beauty wakes to find herself in a rock ’n’ roll dream.

Also featured in this production are the King and the Queen, Spot, the Fairies, the Palace Attendants and the Caterpillars.

The show is sponsored by Columbia Memorial Hospital Pediatrics.

Tickets cost $10 for

adults and $5 for students, seniors and military. There is also a performer family member rate of $8 for adults and $4 for students, seniors and military for both performances.

The Liberty Theater box office is open from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday and two hours before the show. Tickets may also be purchased through TicketsWest at 503-224-8499.

‘Sleeping Beauty’ 3 p.m. and again at 5:30 p.m.

70 Help Wanted Reporter Make a splash in business journalism by joining the reporting staff of the ambitious Coast River Business Journal, located where the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean meet. This is a highly dynamic and story-filled place, where Portlanders and Seattleites come to make their dreams of coastal living come true. You should arrive here with polished writing skills, a strong work ethic and robust curiosity to delve into the professional lives of some of the Pacific Northwestʼs most creative and imaginative business people.

Working in partnership with colleagues at the Chinook Observer, The Daily Astorian, Seaside Signal and Cannon Beach Gazette, Coast River Business Journal produces a monthly print publication. With your geographical beat spanning Clatsop County, Ore., and Pacific County, Wash., you can choose to live on the Long Beach Peninsula, Astoria or Oregonʼs North Coast. While this position is managed from Long Beach, you will also sometimes work from our Astoria and Seaside offices. An important aspect of this job is providing business coverage to several publications, each with a different environment. There will be aspects of breaking business news, in-depth business reporting and “main street” business news. Part of your job will be to continue ramping up our online content for timely and expansive coverage of business news.

Healthcare is one of our regionʼs rapidly expanding economic sectors and we want to hear your ideas about how to cover it in ways that are useful to those in the caring professions, as well as engaging for the community members they serve.

We have a rising tide of young and second-career entrepreneurs starting new craft breweries, restaurants, retail stores, galleries and online businesses.

You will need to be as engaged and creative as they are.

Our traditional industries — tourism to forestry, seafood to homes sales/construction, farming of everything from organic vegetables to legal marijuana — all are wide awake and gaining renewed momentum in a fastexpanding regional economy. Weʼll expect you to dig well beyond the superficial and explain where these industries are going, and why.

Our coast is comfortable and still affordable. It's a place where our reporters and their families purchase homes and settle in for careers that are richly connected to the Northwest interior. Part of your job will be exploring and explaining the growing ties between our coast and the cities of Puget Sound and northwest Oregon.

We offer a competitive wage, a generous benefit package, and a warm and friendly office environment in Mac-based buildings. We work hard but have fun — the ocean beach is a short stroll from our Long Beach and Seaside offices. We enjoy world-class restaurants, fantastic salmon and deep-sea fishing, amazing wildlife and bird watching, and many other outdoor activities. Portland is two and a half hours; Seattle three hours.

‘Anything Goes’ at new Fairweather art exhibition

in studio ¿ne art from New York University and is currently the acting president of nonpro¿t Astoria Visual Arts and the visual arts curator at KALA. Her work has been included in many juried exhibits and residencies.

A graduate of Shanghai Normal University and with a Master of Fine Arts from Portland State University, Zifen Qian paints modern romanticism that combines Eastern and Western culture.

“Painting is a visible art form, which should be understandable by persons other than the artist,” he says. “Creating a painting is not the same as addressing scienti¿c abstract inference on a report. Artistic addressing of social, psychological and cultural issues is based on the artist’s personal judgment from life and always combines his or her cognition of perceptual and rational knowledge with techniques of image making.”

The internationally acclaimed artist has been included in many national and international exhibits and collections.

Kristin Qian, the youngest

scholarship member of the Princeton University Orchestra (class of 2018) is praised as an “omnibus” prodigy for her multiple talents across a wide spectrum of areas, including music, science, languages and painting. She will perform music during the reception.

After a 30-year career as an award-winning biology teacher at Seaside High School, Neal Maine became the ¿rst executive director of the North Coast Land Conservancy, which he co-founded in 1986. Since his retirement from the land trust in 2010, he has pursued his passion for nature photography through Paci¿cLight Images, a partnership with Michael Wing, dedicated to raising awareness of coastal ecology and the wildlife with whom we share the region’s estuaries, freshwater wetlands and forests.

Their photography centers around coastal and Columbia River landscapes, ecology and the rich estuary habitat with the surrounding wetlands and forest systems. Proceeds from photography sales will bene¿t the North Coast Land Conservancy.

The Lowest Pair bring Americana to the Fort

house shows, backyards and street corners, the duo found their way back up to Minnesota, this time to Duluth, where they sat down to record the follow-up to “36¢.”

Linking up with Tom Fabjance at an old church (the same one Low recorded “C’Mon” in) seemed like the perfect way to expand on their sound without diluting their original magical formula.

Their new album, “The Sacred Heart Sessions,” is a collection that allows the listener to enter the space that surrounds its creation.

One can virtually feel the walls and vaulted ceiling of the old wooden church rising up, creating a natural reverb and warming the air.

Be it Winter’s punk roots, her admiration for the traditional American songbook or the gravitational pull she sensed drawing her to Olympia, it’s her combining these talents and creative impulses with Lee’s Midwestern charm, the long winters spent listening to a steady diet of Townes Van Zandt and John Hartford and the strange moment of fate that left him with two inherited banjos as a young man; this combination has resulted in a original sound that is The Lowest Pair.

Show features Patricia Clark-Finley, Agnes Field, Zifen and Kristin Qian, Neal Maine SEASIDE — Fairweather House and Gallery will open a new art exhibit, “Anything Goes,” with a reception from 5 to 7 p.m.

Saturday, Aug. 1. The art show and reception will feature work

by Patricia Clark-Finley, Agnes Field and Zifen Qian with music

by Kristin Qian and a lecture by Neal Maine. Fairweather is located at 612 Boradway. The exhibition will run to Aug. 31.

“Anything Goes” refers the use of materials and methods used to make art — anything to stretch the boundaries of understanding and meaning of the work.

Clark-Finley works from her studio in Ocean Park, Washington, and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the San Francisco Art Institute. She also has spent time at the San Francisco Center for the Book, Carl Jung Institute, and Crown Point Press and has been included in many juried re-

gional and national exhibitions.

“The push and pull between abandon and control informs my abstraction,” she says of her work. “The medium and technical stuff requires control. But the element of chance is the same to me as abandon. If you allow chance, which is the great ‘aha’ moment in art, you have to abandon control. That is because the ego is the controller, but is blind.

To introduce chance, to soften the boundaries between reality and imagination, the ego has to step back.”

Astoria artist Agnes Field uses a matter-of-fact approach to painting and making objects by improvising and reusing found materials along with the paint to amplify the intended meaning.

“Painting is a dark romance for me — a sensuous love of paint and materials, but also the expression of unknown meaning that always ¿nds its way to the

The Lowest Pair will perform at the Fort George Brewery at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 26.

22 | July 23, 2015 | coastweekend.com

ASTORIA — Fort George Brewery welcomes The Lowest Pair to perform Americana and bluegrass at 8 p.m. Sunday, July 26. All ages are welcome, and there is no cover charge.

Born in Arkansas and now homesteading in Olympia, Washington, Kendl Winter sprouts alfalfa beans in mason jars in the back of the tour van and spreads her songs across the country, Johnny Appleseed-style. Winter brings to The Lowest Pair her weaving poetry of song, old and new, and a voice somewhere between Gillian Welch and Iris DeMent with a little Olympia twist.

Palmer T. Lee, who hails from Minneapolis, was 19 when he inherited a couple of banjos and discovered he could reassemble them into his dream instrument. Lee’s songs are distilled into the warm sweet sounds of his percussive wordplay and the melodic interludes of his own style played on a pieced-together banjo.

After a year of traveling the country playing clubs, hotels,

Fort George Brewery brewer Piper Gladwell holds a glass of Booty’s Back Lager, a specialty beer brewed in conjunction with Astoria author Matt Love’s new book, “A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide.”

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Fort George Brewery There I sat in Jack Harris’ office inside Astoria’s Fort George Brewery. Vintage Hamm’s Beer memorabilia decorated the walls. Jack, a co-owner, was to my right, and Piper Gladwill, a brewer, was to my left. We were all tasting Piper’s new beer, Booty’s Back Lager, produced in collaboration for the release of my new book, “A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide.”

Months ago, Jack had graciously decided to support my book in novel

fashion, by pairing it with a special beer (with a cheeky name), thereby enabling me to leverage Fort George’s stunningly high profile to promote my book temporarily over the summer.

It’s this kind of entrepreneurial synergy between independent businesses like Fort George and my publishing house, Nestucca Spit Press, that makes living and working in Astoria such an interesting and rewarding experience. More such collaborations are needed.

They only need conjuring.

The beer was absolutely delicious and the color of a fading sunset over the South Jetty. I couldn’t wait for this golden libation to be available on tap!

Jack had invited me up for a preview of the beer and wanted me to write something up for it. I was flattered and naturally agreed.

I took a few more sips and drafted the blurb below right on the spot: Tag line: The Indoor Camping Beer of Summer Return to the halcyon Pacific Northwest days before Mount St. Helens blew up, the legendary hazy afternoons of jean cutoffs and shimmering derrières floating on inner tubes and air mattresses, down rivers, across lakes. Return to the days of crisp lagers brewed in the Pacific Northwest.

Enjoy Fort George Brewery’s new special beer, Booty’s Back Lager and think Youngs River Falls 1979 all over again. This is the refreshing taste of Astoria this summer, from the land of sky blue waters and eternal rain.

Wow! I thought, That was easy. I would love a job tasting Oregon beers and writing creative descriptions of them. What a gig! I’d even do it for trade.
