Fort Clatsop celebrates Seaman’s Day Wednesday ASTORIA — The 33 people of the Lewis and Clark Expedition wintered at Fort Clatsop over 200 years ago. The 34th “member” of this expedition was Seaman, Meriwether Lewis’ Newfoundland dog. The 21st annual Seaman’s Day commemorating the dog of the Corps of Discovery will be held Wednesday, July 9 at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park’s Fort Clatsop. This event offers visitors an opportunity to learn about Seaman and to meet some hip and modern Newfoundland dogs. According to the explorers’ journals, Seaman served as a watchdog, hunter, retriever, companion and diplomat during the two-and-a-half year voyage of discovery. At 11:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., next to the fort replica, rangers will share a talk titled “Our Dog Seaman,” which is about Lewis’ dog. Programs about modern life with a huge, furry Newfoundland dog are scheduled for 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Kids Corps dogthemed crafts and face painting (for all ages) will be available from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Visitor Center.

Coastal Life Story and photos by MATT LOVE

JEFFER S Garden Inn

T

Enjoy the slow quiet of a real coastal watering hole

There is exactly one establishment in the world where I can eat gizzards while drinking Rainier as my old husky chases bumblebees at the same time I play miniature golf on a course gone lovely to seed with blackberry brambles as hazards. That establishment is called the Jeffers Garden Inn, and it’s a modest blue building located along the Warrenton-Astoria Highway in a somewhat mysterious unincorporated area of Clatsop County known as Jeffers Garden. I say mysterious because in a cursory Google search of Jeffers Garden’s history, I found only an 11-word entry on Wikipedia that contained no history. For some reason, I relish this sort of anonymity. I doubt the NSA even knows anything about this locale.

I would rate the Jeffers Garden Inn as one of the best eccentric coastal watering holes I’ve ever encountered. I absolutely love the languid feel inside. And well, an unkempt miniature golf course on site is simply fantastic, unprecedented. Betty Chilson has owned the Jeffers Garden Inn since 1979. “It used to be called Mary’s Tavern, but I changed it because I was tired of being called Mary,” she said. On July 3, the inn will celebrate its 35th anniversary, although Betty hasn’t decided yet if she will hold a formal event. I would think informal would better suit this place – very informal, like a clanging toast of Rainier cans and call it good. As for the miniature golf course: “In

1984 we put it in,” said Betty, “and then it later sort of got away from us. The rain may have done something to do with that,” she said smiling. Although the course is delightfully dilapidated, Betty keeps putters and balls around for anyone interested in playing. No extra charge. Bring the dog, too. The Jeffers Garden Inn caters to mostly local working people connectHG WR WKH ¿ VKLQJ WUDGH and maritime industry. “You know everyone who comes in,” said Betty. “It’s a family.” The menu features items such as the Belt Buster burger (halfpound beef patty, ham, bacon, eggs and cheese), a pastrami sandwich with Swiss cheese on rye, taco Wednesdays, homemade potato salad, gizzards for $3.75 and a Reuben sandwich that a visitor from New York City told Betty outdid the ones in New York City. One time, back in the 1980s, two celebrities visited the Inn. Betty can’t remember their names, and I’m happy not knowing. I’d rather imagine it was Andy Gibb and Victoria Principal on a coastal lark where no paparaz]L ZRXOG HYHU ¿ QG WKHP 2U SHUKDSV -RKQQ\ Paycheck and Tanya Tucker after gigging the Clatsop County Fair. Thankfully, the Jeffers Garden Inn does not serve liquor. The thought of someone taking a shot of Fireball or Pucker’s in here is beyond depressing. Many a good coastal tavern

has been irretrievably ruined by the introduction of hard liquor. With booze comes more noise, more energy, more confrontations, more miscreants. People come to the inn for the quiet and the molasses pace that I liken to making a call on a rotary telephone or typing a novel on a typewriter. Pretension does not, nor cannot, exist here. Sideburns are real sideburns. There isn’t one local micro beer on tap. The inn does not take credit cards. Occasionally someone plays pool or the Oregon lottery games, but very slowly I might add. There is a daily copy of The Oregonian and The Daily Astorian to read over at protracted leisure. I’ve never seen a customer on a smartphone. There is no Jeffers Inn Facebook page; there never will be.

Editor’s Pick:

Monday, July 7

Luke Ydstie & Kati Claborn 8 p.m., The Adrift Hotel, 409 Sid Snyder Drive, Long Beach, Wash., 360-6422311, no cover. Luke Ydstie and Kati Claborn met in 2008 and have been playing music together most days since. While much of that time has been focused on more official projects (Blind Pilot, Hook and Anchor, Alialujah Choir, The Hackles) the pair has gradually accumulated a body of work that finds its home in the sparser setting of two instruments and two voices. Songs are written by one, the other, or both, and the resulting spectrum finds cohesion in thoughtful arrangements and the strong delivery of two harmony singers well accustomed to each other’s voices. While the music is generally in the neighborhood of folk and country, the instrumentation is often guitar and banjo, and the duo usually remains a duo, the approach frequently varies if a differing inclination prevails or a friend stops by to sit in. What does remain a constant is lovely, unpretentious music from people who love to play together. (Ydstie and Claborn also play 8 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday.)

One of the beauties of Clatsop Community College’s RAIN Magazine is that it has, over almost half a century, become more than a college literary magazine. The annual publication is, in the words of Nancy Cook, co-faculty advisor with Lucien Swerdloff, “a forum for a community of accomplished writers to share their latest work.� More than a student creation for the literary community, RAIN is also a community publication, which the focus of the current RAIN – Neighbors and Neighborhoods edition – makes clear. The 2014 edition, Cook says, “is my favorite edition yet.� Local writers and artists (many working with Kristen Shauck of the CCC art department) have contributed pictures in words, photographs, drawings and paint-

8. Bonfire Extinguisher Beach Dad engineered a fire that could’ve blazed Glacier Park to the ground. But in this four-sided rainstorm, my brothers and I hunched into smoke signals of cookfire surrender as we retreated to Dairy Queen for French fries flaring heat like delectable matchsticks. 7. Hypothermia Beach They say you last 15-minutes in the water. So we huddle behind driftwood forts for hours, hole-up from a hunted wind, tune-in to an Arctic sent sea. My beach girl dreams evaporated long ago like a faded tan line. This is why when most go to the beach, they don’t actually go to the beach. 5. Sandy Hotdog Beach Sand in surround sound, sand in the teeth, in crevices unmentionable, sand in the 7 up, sand blooming in the fireworks of memory, sand in the sheets so many days later, weekend sand gifted in luggage I can’t wait to re-open.

Writers play an important role in expressing intimacy with place, both cultural and natural. And here in the &ROXPELD 3DFLÂż F KLVWRU\ DQG ODQGVFDSH collide in such interesting ways.â€? Much of today’s best writing has a strong regional feel, and this characterizes much of what you will read in RAIN, whether written by seasoned professional writers like Robert Michael Pyle (who contributes a poem, “Meet the Neighborsâ€?) or Tim Sproul (poem, “Best Beaches on the Oregon Coastâ€?), or by student Krystal Norberg (short story, “Januaryâ€?). Not all the writers are professionals or CCC students, and one of the joys Cook Âż QGV LQ DFWLQJ DV DGYLVRU WR WKH SXEOLFD tion is “discovering a young writer like Anna Davis, with her poem, ‘The Old Red Covered Bridge.’ It’s a real treat.â€? Davis loves to read and write poetry, and plans to make writing her career; she has spent all her 15 years in Oregon. The art in RAIN is as rich and varied as the writing.

And swirling round each outcropped rock, They reach a pleasant scene Where lane and riverbank adjoin; A covered bridge between. ‘Twas once the horse and buggy’s trail, tis now the auto’s street. The sound of roaring engines by Instead of trotting feet. Yet worn with ruts from constant use, They rarely travel here. E’er watching as the river drifts It’s memories on and on. Of times when spring adorned the land With flowers long ago. And children stopped to run and play In winter’s days of snow. When summer afternoons were hot, Septembers eves were warm, And creatures ‘neath the bridges roof Were safe from every storm. So when I need a tranquil place To rest and think a smidge, I find myself remembering The old red covered bridge.

To build a

This dugout fort makes use of both sandy beach and driftwood branches.

James Herman,

Â?¥“Ť ÂŤÂœÂœÂ? Â?ÂœÂĄÂĽ

HOLQJ DSSUR[LPDWHO\ IRUWV DQG ,œYH ¿ QDOO\ come to realize what they mean to me: the perfect metaphor of how to live right in the world. I might also add that building a driftwood fort is an incredible amount of fun, a decent workout, a useful lesson in geometry and engineering, and typically doesn’t cost a cent. The phenomenon of driftwood fort building represents a magically tactile collaboration between people and nature that provides recreation, community, and a cyclical understanding of life. The cycle begins every spring, when a few forts emerge as outposts on the more popular beaches. All winter long, beaverwood, logging slash, wrecked docks, and eroded trees travel downstream from coastal watersheds and mix in the local ocean with ancient wood that may KDYH À RDWHG IRU GHFDGHV or centuries.

The phenomenon of driftwood fort building represents a magically tactile collaboration between people and nature that provides recreation, community, and a cyclical understanding of life.

Building a driftwood fort is an incredible amount of fun, a decent workout, a useful lesson in geometry and engineering, and typically doesn’t cost a cent.

‘Driftwood Forts of the Oregon Coast’

Story and photos by MATT LOVE

everal years ago, without any prompting or explanation, I began building driftwood forts along the Oregon Coast. I found this activity immensely pleasurable and a good way to clear my mind of distractions before launching a new creative endeavor. It also dissipated the worst traits of being an adult. I built forts but didn’t think too much about them – that was the whole point. Later, as this hobby unfolded, I met an Oregon artist named James Herman who was obsessed with the phenomenon of driftwood fort building RQ WKH 3DFL¿ F 1RUWKZHVW Coast. His passion and expertise on this subject ratcheted up my own interest in forts to the degree that I eventually published James’ exquisite book on the subject (see sidebar). Then, last year and continuing into 2014, I started dragooning everyone around me to build driftwood forts: friends, students, teachers, dates, even my dog. At one point, my husky started bringing me sticks during construction. After a fort was completed, she would invariably stake out her position as sentinel of the fort. I now estimate that during the aforementioned time period, I’ve had a hand in building or remod-

Driftwood forts don’t all look alike – the scale and diversity of structures staggers the mind.

It had no walls at all, just a framed entrance, and when I asked them about this, they didn’t really have an answer. Perhaps their fort was built on a purely subconscious adolescent desire for simplicity, equality and belonging. Perhaps, these girls had unwittingly created the ultimate driftwood fort metaphor we need to embrace as a nation. Or perhaps they knew The tepee is a popular form for driftwood forts, like this one built on exactly what they were doing all along. the Oregon Coast.

What drew you to the subject of driftwood forts? One day two years ago, I was on the beach and there they were behind Mo’s Restaurant in Lincoln City: 20 to 30 forts! From then on, forts became my obsession because it ignited a way for me to write about those building methodologies, elevating the form of the fort to a higher status. It humored me to go about classifying each fort I found while writing about the maker’s collaboration with the landscape, tides, drift and time. What do people take away from the experience of building a driftwood fort? Fort building is flow; everyone needs more flow in their lives. What’s the most popular type of driftwood fort? Tepee. The Tepee also burns really well. As an artist, when you build a driftwood fort, what are you thinking about and trying to accomplish? I am not trying to think about anything. I’ve built forts with different types of people and friends and alone, and it’s always different. Best advice for someone who has never built a driftwood fort but considering doing so? All you have to do is try it once. Seriously, get out there and stick your feet in the sand, feel the breeze, and seek out a decent pile of driftwood. Give yourself an hour, and see how it goes.

Food trucks and take-out-only places serve up tasty choices

Last week I showcased some of the best food trucks/take-out-only places on the coast, and this week I’ll be wrapping it up with three more. Once again, the culinary experiences I’ll list below are conveniently located, reliable and consistent, and most of the prices don’t exceed $10. Let’s get right to it!

O Falafel

13th and Duane streets • Astoria, OR 97103 Open Monday through Friday for lunch, and at the Astoria Sunday Market.

There is seemingly no end to our impressive culinary diversity here on the coast, and I believe O Falafel, a truck serving Mediterranean food in Astoria, may be the best example of that. For those who don’t know, falafel is usually composed of fava beans or chickpeas, ground into a ball or patty and deep fried, and it can be served inside a pita. It is often topped with any number of salads, pickled vegetables or sauces, and in larger cities, I would wager that it is one of the most popular street foods. O Falafel is located at 13th and Duane streets in Astoria, in the parking lot of Astoria Indoor Garden Supply, and it is also a regular ¿ [WXUH DW WKH $VWRULD 6XQGD\ 0DUNHW :KLOH the falafel itself is wonderful, the side dishes are really what sold me. +XPPXV ZLWK KRPHPDGH SLWD EUHDG LV À D vorful and savory; the baba ghanoush, with its smoky, roasted eggplant, tastes rich; and even the couscous with veggies is better than any I’ve had locally. Non-meat-eaters will also appreciate the veggie wrap, with seasonal vegetables, tahini sauce, and tabbouleh. And don’t forget the baklava!

White Bird Gallery opens new group show CANNON BEACH — White Bird Gallery will open its main summer show this weekend, featuring six artists in a group show of new work in different mediums. An informal open house will open the show with refreshments Friday and Saturday, July 4 and 5 during regular gallery hours. The show will run through Aug. 24. Oregon artist Randall Tipton uses the landscape as a guide in his paintings, suggesting something fundamental and primal by reducing the complexity of scene into bands of color and gesture. Alluding to a dreamlike state with soft tones, Tipton’s compositions challenge the relationship between foreground and background as elements of light and depth create a degree of abstraction. Robert Schlegel is well known in the region for expressive Northwest paintings that reÀect the contrast between man-made structures and landscape. Many of his

“Beach Front” by Robert Schlegel.

“Batik Butterfly Bowl” by Boni and Dave Deal.

“The Alders in Spring” by Randall Tipton.

“Shadow Self” by Jacquline Hurlbert.

subjects are drawn from rural environments, animals and architecture. With a moody sense of color and light, Schlegel’s imagery reÀects a strong sense of place. Jacquline Hurlbert is a popular Oregon artist who creates psychologically charged ceramic sculptures. Her colorful work uses imaginary ¿gures with emotional faces and costuming to ask larger questions about identity. Boni and Dave Deal are a husband-and-wife team who have been creating raku vessels and wall plaques for over 40 years. The couple attended the Plein Air & More festival in Cannon Beach last weekend, where they demonstrat-

ed their masterful techniques – including wheel throwing, decorating pieces with Northwest Àora and fauna, and raku pottery ¿ring. Their range of work includes large-scale vessels with heron motifs, wall triptychs inspired by landscapes and their signature leaf motif pottery. Anne John is a ¿gurative painter and is inspired by the human nature of life. Her recent exploration is an accumulation of animal images as they relate to the human footprint left on the environment. Her new work is mixed-media, incorporating painted fabric backdrops beneath plexi glass supports, which creates surface depth.
