SCRATCHPAD By ERICK BENGEL FOR COAST WEEKEND

I ﬁnally got around to reading “The Mountain Shadow,” Gregory David Roberts’ long-promised sequel to his gorgeous 2003 debut novel, “Shantaram.” And, I regret to report, the book is so bad it almost makes me question my judgment of its predecessor. Indeed, it’s hard to accept that these books came from the same author. My copy of “Shantaram” — a gift from a good friend with good taste — sat in a box for six years. I had my reasons: The book is big (933 pages), the type small, and the opening passages hint at

coast

a preachy self-help exercise masquerading as literature — the sort of trendy twaddle that spiritual-but-not-religious readers use to add inches to their New Age collection. Even knowing it was the semi-autobiographical story of a Melbourne man, Lin, who had committed a series of armed robberies to feed his heroin habit and, after escaping from prison, lives as a fugitive in Bombay didn’t compel me to dig it out. But I was wrong to wait. “Shantaram” is an elegant, full-bodied epic that has earned its cult status — a book you need to read if only to witness its audacity. Set in the 1980s, the story

‘She Loves Me’

‘The Mountain Shadow’a disappointing sequel

takes us from Indian slums and prisons, to the inner sanctum of Bombay’s mafia, to the mountains of Afghanistan during the war with the Soviets. It is a gritty, glorious meditation on co-existing communities and cultures, of pure evil and self-transcending love. You savor it slowly and mindfully, the way you savor a long banquet, because it is so rich and fulfilling. Now comes “The Mountain Shadow,” released in 2015. It is exactly the book I feared the first one would be: a pretentious slog, bloated with shallow Eastern-sounding aphorisms and heavy-handed symbolism (not to mention a white man’s well-meaning but

condescending views of women and the Third World). The story centers on Lin’s growing unease with his role in Bombay’s crime syndicate. Because he’s still running from the law, Lin can’t make a clean escape. With that dilemma unable to quickly resolve itself, Roberts allows the supporting characters’ subplots to spin the wheels, giving us nearly 900 pages of relationship drama and repetitive street violence, while our hero fondles his knives, talks to his motorcycle, and utters gems of wisdom such as: “Women have a psychic witchy spooky talking-to-the-dead way of knowing everything

you think.” Worst of all, our favorite characters — including Didier, the fiercely loyal comrade and openly gay killer; and Karla, the hauntingly beautiful pragmatist who knows she’s the smartest person in the room — have been reduced to shuffling on and offstage, like the cast of “Friends,” to offer Lin overwritten wisecracks and pseudo-philosophical advice. “The Mountain Shadow” is the second installment in a planned tetralogy (a prequel and finale are allegedly on the way). But devotees of Book 1 would be better off imagining their own “Shantaram” spinoffs. “The Mountain Shadow”

is a book begging to be overshadowed by fanﬁction. I was recently in a local bookstore and pulled a slick new edition of “Shantaram” from the shelf. The bookseller saw me thumbing through the pages. That’s a good book, he said. It is, I replied. Then I told him I was halfway through “The Mountain Shadow,” and it’s just awful. He concurred — and, in fact, had given up on the sequel. He allowed “Shantaram” to stand alone. I wish Roberts had done the same. Scratch Pad will occasionally serve as a platform for the editor’s reﬂections on arts and culture. CW

‘Shanghaied in Astoria’ returns to its roots With new leadership, the Astor Street Opry Company unveils new visions (and new restrooms) By HEATHER DOUGLAS FOR COAST WEEKEND

or the 33rd consecutive season, the Astor Street Opry Company is presenting its regionally famous musical melodrama “Shanghaied in Astoria.” The show opens at the company playhouse (129 W. Bond St.) Thursday, July 6. Based on Astoria history and folklore, “Shanghaied” is the longest continuously running musical melodrama in the country. The company, which performed for many years in various local venues, found a permanent home almost a decade ago at its current location thanks to key players such as Markus Brown, a company veteran. Brown will direct the play for the first time this season. He considers himself a “student of ‘Shanghaied’”; he has worked as an actor under several directors for 15 years, and has directed more than a dozen shows at the theater. His personal stamp on the show, he said, will be in bringing the play back to its original script. “The story is king,” Brown said. “The script is quite brilliant, and the story is fantastic. I want to bring it back to its roots.” Part of keeping “Shanghaied” loyal to its roots, Brown said, is staying true to the highly stylized vaudeville melodrama that is the show’s signature. “For a number of years, some well-intending directors have been adding modern touches, easy laughs, elements of pop culture, but the original story is already full of good humor,” he said. “There are very few true vaudeville theaters left in our country,” he continued. “True vaudeville is done in a specific manner — everything from its inflection and a certain sense of rhythm that makes it authentic to the style.” The script for “Shanghaied” was conceived in 1985 by Del Corbet, a former professor and theater director at Clatsop Community College, and inspired by Astoria’s sordid history of “shanghaiing” — a practice in the 1800s in which men would be kidnapped (often through trap doors in the floors of local saloons) and find themselves out to sea as forced labor on a ship. The story also brings in Astoria’s deep

Scandinavian heritage. The script, copyrighted in 1987, resulted in the budding theater producing one show a year. The popularity continued, and Astor Street Opry Company became a full theater company performing multiple shows a year.

Community support

While the company stages other pro-

ductions, “Shanghaied in Astoria” is the company’s bread and butter, and shows no signs of declining popularity. “‘Shanghaied’ is what keeps our doors open, our lights on and the bills paid,” Brown said. “It has allowed us to bring other productions to our theaters.” For 10 weeks each summer, the stage becomes home to nasty villains, sturdy women, ill-intentioned saloon owners,

fishermen and sweethearts. All actors are volunteers, and the theater has become a testament to the power of public support. Besides ticket sales, a supportive community of local businesses and a devoted volunteer system have allowed the theater to survive. One such volunteer, Bill Carr (nicknamed the “volunteer extraordinaire”), has been assisting Brown in realizing a decade-long dream of equipping the theater with indoor restrooms. For years, the theater has relied on “blue rooms” and a tiny restroom shared by all of the actors. “Now that we have these new restrooms, I’d like to take those blue rooms and catapult them into space,” Carr said.

Trail’s End offers camp, watercolor class GEARHART — Kathy Karbo, Trail’s End Gallery’s featured artist for August, is teaching her annual Kids Camp from Monday, July 17, through Friday, July 21. The camp’s theme is “Secrets and Treasures of the Ancient Forest.” To enroll a child, contact Karbo at kathykarbo@comcast.net. Karbo is an accomplished mixed media and 3-D artist craftsperson and teacher for 40 years, the gallery said. In her body of work, Karbo has considered several issues: the circumstance of refugees; the relationship between desperation and hope; and the power and repair community can offer. “She has been contemplating the fact that we are all sojourners in this life. Movement is central to life’s journey … forever casting humanity into conflict, discovery and adaptation,” the Trails End Art Association said a release. Karbo teaches at Trail’s End Art Association, Sitka Center for the Arts and Ecology, Newport Paper Arts Festival and Oregon Libraries and Schools. Beside the gallery of fine art, Trail’s End — located at 656 A St., one block south of Pacific Way — has a gift shop with objects in wood, fused glass and 3-D plus many beautiful note cards.

North Tillamook Library celebrates 30 years with free event Saturday MANZANITA — To mark the 30th anniversary of the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita, the library’s Friends group is hosting a celebration Saturday, July 8, at the Hoffman Gardens adjacent to the library at 571 Laneda Avenue. The event will include a children’s story time; family music fun with Portland singer and musician Mo Phillips and the Ocean Bottom Country Blues Band, featuring Tillamook County’s library director Sara Charlton; a presentation on the library’s history by Patty Went; and an appearance by special guest Lauren Kessler, a noted Oregon author. “For thirty years the North Tillamook Library has been building a community of learners by serving the communities of Wheeler, Nehalem and Manzanita, as well as the rural areas of north Tillamook County,” said Madeline Olson, president of the Friends of the

Library. “Three decades ago visionary community leaders developed the plan and the funding to construct a beautiful building. All of us have beneﬁted from that foresight, and we are eager to celebrate 30 great years, thank our friends and acknowledge the great partnership we enjoy with the Tillamook County library.” The North Tillamook Library operates with a unique public-private partnership. The Friends organization

owns and maintains the library building, while the county library supplies all library materials and the professional library staff. Oregon author Lauren Kessler will talk about the importance of libraries in both her work and her reading life. “A community without a library is like a body without a soul,” Kessler said. “That’s how important I think libraries are to communities, big and small — but especially to small, rural communities where there are fewer cultural opportunities. Books open the world to us. In rural and isolated communities, they bring the world to our doorstep.” The public is invited to attend the celebration and to consider becoming a Friend of the Library. Friends board member Gail Young, who is coordinating the anniversary celebration, can be reached at gailmyoung@mc.com.

SCHEDULE OF EVENTS • 11 a.m. to noon: Story Time in the Library • Noon to 1 p.m.: Family fun with Mo Phillips • 1 to 2 p.m.: Music by Ocean Bottom Country Blues Band, featuring Tillamook County head librarian Sara Charlton • 2 to 3 p.m.: Welcome by Friends President Madeline Olson • Friends and library history presentation by Patty Went • “Tribute to Libraries” by Oregon author Lauren Kessler • 3 to 4 p.m.: Music, socializing – and cake!

All prints were made within the American Great Basin — that is, Nevada and slices of adjacent states, Wimberley said. “They reveal traces of dream and memory in the land, and explore artifacts of human endeavor in the form of petroglyphs and abandoned structures,” Wimberley said. “The primary focus is on stone that has been altered by human activity.” Born in Bermuda in 1945, Wimberley currently lives in Ashland, Oregon. With more than 50 years in photography, his work has been honored with over 70 major exhibitions and extensively published and collected around the world. “A Preternatural Place: Dream and Memory in the Great Basin” runs Saturday, July 8, through Tuesday, Sept. 5. LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive in Astoria.

‘SHE LOVES ME’ The Peninsula Association of Performing Artists presents musical comedy featuring mistaken identities and lonely hearts By MARILYN GILBAUGH FOR COAST WEEKEND

‘S

he Loves Me,” a high-spirited musical and romantic comedy, opens Friday, July 7, at the Peninsula Association of Performing Artists in Chinook. With music by Jerry Bock and lyrics by Sheldon Harnick — the duo behind “Fiddler on the Roof” — this family friendly production has a score that will keep the audiences smiling and humming long after the curtains close. The show runs 7 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and 2 p.m. Sundays, through Aug. 6. Set in 1930s Budapest, the show begins in a small perfume shop, with a musical number: “Good Morning, Good Day” sing the dusting, bustling shop employees. However, beneath the light-hearted song and dance are snags: feuding co-workers and lonely hearts. The store manager, Georg Nowack (played by Ron Thompson), has a growing grudge against a new hire, Amalia Bolash (Hope Bellinger). He thinks she’s a snob; she thinks he’s arrogant. But at night — unbeknown to either — each character is communicating with

Actors with the Peninsula Association of Performing Artists rehearse a scene from “She Loves Me.”

Continued from Page 10 a “lonely hearts society,” pouring their feelings out to a secret “Dear Friend” correspondence. Guess who they are writing to? Back in the shop is all kinds of chaos. The owner. Mr. Maraczek (Richard Babikoff) is snipping at Georg. Meanwhile, love-seeking employee/babe/floozy Ilona Ritter (Cindy Flood, an association founder) is having a shaky affair with Steven Kodaly (Bryan Foster), a silky smooth cad. He preens; she swoons, for a while anyway. In a restaurant scene, a waiter (Jane Schussman) mixes and muses with patrons. And then there’s Amalia … waiting anxiously, then dejectedly, to meet her “Dear Friend” at last. In 2016, the New York Times wrote of the musical: “‘She Loves Me’ is a sustained reminder of the pleasures of exalted ordinariness. A tasty tale of love lost and found in the workplace.”

A play with legs

“She Loves Me” has quite the lineage. Hungarian Miklos Laszlo wrote the original play, “Parfumerie,” which first appeared on stage in 1937 and has been adapted to stage and screen ever since. The musical version first hit Broadway in 1963. Versions of the material include the 1940 film “The Shop Around the Corner” and the 1949’s “The Good Old Summer Time.” In 1998 came Nora Ephron’s take, “You’ve Got

Mail,” starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. The original play has, to use theater lingo, got legs. And the Peninsula Association of Performing Arts — which turns 10 this year — is ensuring the fun continues. Barbara Poulshock, Washington peninsula’s grande dame of all things musical, returns as the association’s director of stage and music. Brooke Flood, Poulshock’s protégé (and Cindy’s daughter), assists. During rehearsals both Poulshock and

Brooke Flood pay scrupulous attention to detail. Minutiae make the “whole” work. Poulshock — who said she fell in love with “She Loves Me” after watching “The Shop Around the Corner” — fills up ringed notebooks with copious notes as scenes unfold. Seated at Poulshock’s side, Brooke Flood offers direction to the cast. “Move your hand a little more to the left. Move upstage and stand closer to him. We need to see both of you lock eyes,” she coaxes while cradling

her 3-month-old son, William. In the rear of the theater sits “tech guy,” Glenn Ripley. Asked about his involvement with the artist association, Ripley said, “It’s not so much the love of the theater, and what it takes to run lights and sounds, as it is a love of the people involved with PAPA. “The people, the lights, the music, and the sound working together make the play come to life,” he said.

Hot Box BBQ presents a luscious, irresistible, inexpensive bite of pig Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

ome owners see their food carts like pit stops on the road toward restaurant-dom. But with brick-and-mortar can come a desire to expand offerings from the confines of a cart, where there’s no room for flab. But when you do one thing — slurpy, gooey, smoky, slow-cooked pork sandwiches — as well as they do at The Hot Box BBQ, why bother with anything else? The yellow trailer landed in Astoria in March, turning the Reach Break Brewing patio, along with Sasquatch Sausages, into a bonafide pod. But this isn’t Hot Box’s maiden voyage. The business, who’ve dubbed themselves “Modern American BBQ,” began in Northern California before relocating to Portland. The Portland cart, near the Southwest waterfront, was dubbed one of “Portland’s Best New Food Carts” of 2015 by The Oregonian. Critic Michael Russell wondered if Hot Box’s “might be the best pulled pork sandwich in PDX.” The Willamette Week chimed in too, dubbing Hot Box’s “some of the best cart-cooked pig shoulder in town.” When blessed with the opportunity to expand, rather than find four walls with a foundation, Hot Box opted to open an outpost in Astoria, and we should be thankful they did: You’ll be hard-pressed to find a more luscious, irresistible bite on the North Coast for under $10.

an almost Green-goddess-y, earthy cilantro aioli, plus pickled daikon, carrots, lettuce and mayo. Amidst such fatty decadence, the grounding of the cilantro aioli and ruffage made great sense. (Veggies and hints of earth aside, these stout, burger-sized sandwiches are caloric bangers that can slow your circulation to a crawl.) The Vietnom made an end-run at the title of prized pig, but my favorite, just by a snout, was the Volcano ($9). It balanced the sweet, slippery pangs of jalapeño jelly, Sriracha mayo and lettuce greens. The tiebreaker on this salty, sweet, tangy, creamy, fatty mix was textural: salty shards of crispy, fried onion. Besides fresh veg, nice buns and succulent pork, Hot Box’s regional-ized sandwiches are all honed and elevated with house-made sauces. Each featured aioli/mayo, and that creaminess offered a roundness that can’t be overlooked. Neither can the chicken, believe it or not. The thick, tender breast that jutted out beyond the buns was

a potent reminder of just how often we’re served chicken that’s been overcooked. At Hot Box it was absolutely perfect. (Right on the beak? Sorry.) It may not arouse the drooling, gluttonous desire of the pork, but neither will it necessitate a nap. To ward of such listlessness — or to at least gain some veneer of making responsible choices — I recommend the kale salad above any of the sides and accouterments at Hot Box. (Sandwiches come with chips and $2 more gets you coleslaw or potato salad.) Health aside, I legitimately enjoyed the kale salad most — again, something about the contrast of earth and the mildly acidic dressing against all that chubby swine. One on occasion I tried the daily special, the OMGBLT (a BLT but with pork belly instead of bacon). The pork belly, too, was just fantastically prepared, with charred crust giving way to viscous rivers of salty, viscous fats. At another venue, it might’ve been cause for greater concern. But at Hot Box, the star — that tantalizing pork shoulder, with well-refined, regional dressings — casts a shadow over all the rest. It’s bulletproof. CW

Tickets on sale for Cottage & Garden tour and raffle CANNON BEACH — Tickets are on sale for Cannon Beach History Center & Museum’s annual Cottage & Garden Tour. In September, the museum will open the doors of more than ten homes as part of this annual fundraiser. The tour will take place the weekend of Friday, Sept. 8, and includes a series of fun events. Everything starts Friday night with a concert and reception at the Cannon Beach Community Hall (207 North Spruce St.). Kelsey Mousley & The Next Right Thing will ease attendees into a busy weekend of home tours, wine tastings, art exhibits, presentations and more live music. Tickets to this event are $15. For more than a decade, the History Center & Museum has welcomed visitors from the Pacific Northwest and beyond to tour vintage homes, historic inns and architectural wonders of this coastal town. The tour of homes and gardens will take place Saturday, Sept. 9, and is a one-day event. Start the day with a lecture on the history of Cannon Beach from Doug Deur at the Community Hall, followed by the tour. Luncheon and lecture tickets are $25. For the first time, tour-goers are invited to explore the north end of Cannon Beach. Tickets for the home and garden tour are $35. Saturday will feature a concert and reception at the community hall with local favorite Thistle & Rose. The reception is historically overflowing with beer from Fort George Brewery and Buoy Beer, wine from the Nehalem Bay Winery, and tasty treats, organizers said. This event is included in the cost of a home and garden tour ticket. The final event is an English-style garden tea at the community hall Sunday, Sept.

The raffle drawing will take place at the Saturday night concert. Beautiful pieces will be available. “The shining star will be a one-of-kind piece donated by Jim Kingwell, of Icefire Glassworks in Cannon Beach,” the museum said. “The sculpture would be a beautiful addition to any home, but would also make a fantastic garden feature.” In addition, Jeffrey Hull Gallery has donated a print of “Carol’s Geraniums.” Tickets are $5 each and available at the museum or through the online gift shop.

Pull, pile, stomp a notorious weed The North Coast Land Conservancy and the Necanicum Watershed Council have launched a three-year project to rid the Necanicum watershed of the invasive policeman’s helmet (Impatiens glandulifera). The land conservancy is recruiting volunteers to join their “Weed Warrior Wednesdays” crew working at Circle Creek throughout June and July. People can volunteer once, or every week. A Saturday stewardship day is planned for Saturday, July 8. An $86,000 grant from Oregon Watershed Enhance-

ment Board is helping to fund the three-year effort. Five years ago, there was no policeman’s helmet along the Necanicum River or its tributary creeks, as far as anyone knows, the land conservancy said in a release. “Now this pretty but highly invasive weed can be

seen throughout the Necanicum watershed, choking out native plants and reducing plant and animal diversity while increasing the risk of stream bank erosion,” the conservancy wrote. “The plant’s seed pods can eject seeds up to 20 feet. Those seeds float, spreading the plant downstream year to year.” Named for the shape of the blossom, policemen’s helmet — which grows 3 to 6 feet tall — resembles an old-fashioned British policeman’s headwear, according to press materials. “It is native to the Himalayas and was introduced

in North America as an ornamental garden plant but has since spread widely,” according to the conservancy. “It was first seen along the Necanicum River and its tributaries in 2013.” Anyone residing in Clatsop or Tillamook counties is asked to keep an eye out for the plant on their property. If you see it, pull it (the plant uproots easily), make a pile of the plants, and stomp on them to crush the stems. To volunteer, or report sightings of the plant, visit NCLCtrust.org/pull-pilestomp for more details and to report sightings of the plant.

Mon-Fri, 8am-5pm 389 NW 13th St. Warrenton

ILWACO, WASH. — A reception for Penny Treat and Renee O’Connor, the July featured artists at ArtPort Gallery, will be held 3 to 7 p.m. Friday, July 7, at the gallery (177 Howerton St. S.E.). The artists, both longtime residents of the Peninsula, will share stories of living and working on Willapa Bay. The event will include bites and music. Their exhibit, “Once in a Blue Moon,” features their most recent work: Treat’s watercolors and woodblock prints, for which she is well known, and O’Connor’s large ceramic wall pieces, organic vases and platters, and her newest adventures in mosaic jewelry. Together they celebrate the Willapa Bay’s gifts of wildlife, bounty, storms, tranquility and its infamous “Blue Moon.”

Treat trained at the Cornish Institute in Seattle and received her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. She enjoyed a career in interior design, receiving a national award for her design of a biosphere. She now draws inspiration from her bay property and its mature flowering gardens, according to the gallery. O’Connor, a graduate of San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree, has had a varied career but most recently concentrated in designing and fabricating commissioned public art works and especially focused on illustrating numerous interpretive panels for parks. Many of her tiles — featuring fish and birds of Southwest Washington salt marshes — can be seen in buildings and public installations on the Long Beach Peninsula.

Seaman’s Day gives dogs their due FORT CLATSOP — The 33 people of the Lewis and Clark Expedition wintered at Fort Clatsop in 1805 to 1806. And the 34th “member” of this expedition was Seaman, Capt. Meriwether Lewis’ Newfoundland dog. The 24rd annual Seaman’s Day commemorating the dog of the Corps of Discovery will be held Wednesday, July 12, at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop. “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,” the park said in a release. “The park has invited some guest Newfoundland dogs and their people to volunteer this day.” This special event offers visitors an opportunity to learn about Seaman and to meet some modern New-

foundland dogs. The day’s schedule includes: 10:30 a.m. flintlock program; 11 a.m. Netul River Trail walk; 11:30 a.m. “Our Dog Seaman” talk; 12:30 p.m. meet the Newfoundland dogs; 1:30 p.m. flintlock program; 2 p.m. Netul River Trail walk; 2:30 p.m. meet the Newfoundland dogs; 3:30 p.m. “Our Dog Seaman” talk; 4:30 p.m. flintlock program. Kids Corps dog-themed crafts will be available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the visitor center. Costumed rangers will be at the fort during the day to answer questions and share living history. The park is open daily 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Admission is $5 per adult and free for youth 15 and younger. Passes to National Park Service sites are accepted. For more information, call the park at 503-8612471.

Lewis and Clark living history at Knappton Cove KNAPPTON COVE — Knappton Cove Heritage Center and the Pacific Northwest Living Historians will present a living history program on Saturday, July 8, and Sunday, July 9. During this two-day event, costumed members of the historians group will demonstrate the weapons, tools and skills employed by the explorers of the epic Lewis and Clark expedition. Capt. Meriwether Lewis and Capt. William Clark were sent by U.S. President Thomas Jefferson to explore the newly acquired Louisiana Territory, and to seek the best route to the Pacific Ocean through what we now call the Pacific Northwest. During their voyage of 1804 to 1806, they led the “Corps of Northwestern Discovery” overland from St. Louis, Missouri, to the mouth of the Columbia River, and back again. With no means for resupply, the Corps — a U.S. Army unit of 31 men, accompanied by Sacagawea and her infant child, Jean Baptiste —

needed to use a diverse combination of skills, along with the right tools, in order to survive. Dressed in clothing of the style and materials worn by the Corps voyagers in 1805, the interpreters will demonstrate and discuss many of those tools and skills, including loading and firing flintlock firearms; fire starting with flint and

steel; camp cooking; making clothing from leather; making canoe paddles. Visitors will also learn the history and stories of the Lewis and Clark expedition: the Native people who they met, the unfamiliar territory they traveled and mapped, and the strange new animals and plants they discovered. Program times: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday The Knappton Cove Heritage Center is located on Washington State Route 401, along the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, about 3 miles east of the north end of the Astoria-Megler bridge, and about 8 miles south of Naselle, Washington. The museum inside the historic U.S. Quarantine Station building will be open 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. (3 p.m. Sunday) during the event.

Sou’wester offers mosaic workshop SEAVIEW, WASH. — The workshop series at Sou’wester Lodge continues Saturday and Sunday, July 15 and 16, with a custom mosaics event where participants will complete a paneled mosaic using tiles and found objects. “You can come prepared with an idea or sketch of a design that you would like to execute (or) take an experimental approach to the materials,” organizers said. “Either way, you will come away with a wonderful, ﬁnished mosaic panel that is speciﬁcally emblematic of the particular time and place in which it was made. One of the great things about mosaic is its durability and timeless nature.” The workshop will include discussion of the history of mosaics and possible materials, and an extended

“beach walk lunch hour,” when participants will look at different kinds of local materials (shells, rocks, etc.) they could use in their works. Classes are taught by Damon Ayers and Christy Wiesenhahn. Wiesenhahn is primarily a tile and mosaic artist whose expanded practice includes designing theater sets and

working on skateboard parks. Ayers mostly works in video, but his practice often includes actors and extensive set building, according to press materials. Class times: • 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 15 — includes an hour lunch walk on the beach • 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Sunday, July 16 — a short

day to grout, ﬁnish and admire everyone’s work The cost is $40, plus a $10 material fee to be paid directly to the instructor. This cost covers both Saturday and Sunday classes. Participants are asked to bring an idea, image or sketch they would like to execute as a tile mosaic. They should also wear clothes they will be comfortable in outdoors. Bring a sack lunch or snack. Hot tea and coffee will be provided. All Sou’wester workshops are open to the public, but there is a 12-student limit. All skill levels are welcome. Students under 12 should have a parent in attendance. RSVP via souwesterfrontdesk@gmail.com, or call 360-642-2542. The lodge is located at 3728 J Place.

FOR COAST WEEKEND

Rilea [Raɪ•li•ə] noun 1. Major General Thomas E. Rilea: born in Illinois in 1896, Maj. Gen. Rilea spent most of his life in Salem and then Astoria, Oregon, and was a major figure in the Oregon National Guard throughout the first half of the twentieth century 2. Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center: Located on 1,800 acres of the Clatsop Plains just outside of Warrenton, this highly regarded military facility provides diverse natural environments for both the Oregon and Washington National Guard to train in a variety of combat situations, including aerial and amphibious assaults. With three miles of Pacific coast, shooting ranges for both pistols and rifles, a fully equipped campground and mess hall, and a complete Military Operations in Urban Terrain site — which is essentially a fake city complete with church and city hall that was once called Millersburg before it was rebuilt to mirror an Afghani village — this expansive facility deserves its reputation, as The Oregonian said, as the “premier war-fighter center” in the nation.

Camp Rilea is also host to many police departments’ tactical training exercises and opens its barracks to many community events, including Boy Scout activities and high school football camps. Origin: Founded in 1927 as Camp Clatsop, the site was officially renamed in 1959 following the death of Thomas Rilea, who was the adjutant general of Oregon National Guard and a prominent member of Astoria civil society at the time. The honorific was heralded by many, including The Daily Astorian, to avoid confusion with nearby Fort Clatsop. The origin of the name Rilea is contested, with theories claiming an Irish variant of Riley, or Reilly, or a respelling of the French place-name, Rillieux, which would then fix these ancestors to the village of Rillieux-la-Pape, a suburb of Lyon in the Rhône-Alpes. If the name is in fact a variation of the Irish Reilly it would trace its meaning back to a word once associated with “valor.”

“‘I live in Astoria,’[Col. Dean] Perez says, rejecting the offered microphone. ‘When things get tough at home, I can come to Camp Rilea and hang out with the soldiers.’ He throws it out for grins, but nobody’s fooled. This is where Perez belongs.” — Lori Tobias, “Camp Rilea commander, Col. Dean Perez, says his is a ‘died-and-gone-to-heaven job’,”The Oregonian, May 13, 2013 CW

Local arts benefit Clatsop County Study says arts, culture brings in millions in household income, supports hundreds of jobs By KAELIA NEAL

FOR COAST WEEKEND

study reveals the nonprofit arts-and-culture sector was a $13.7 million industry in 2015 for Clatsop County, generating almost $1.3 million in local and state government revenue and $6.7 million in household income for local residents, while supporting 359 fulltime equivalent jobs. The 2016 Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 study was conducted by Americans for the Arts to document the economic impact of the nonprofit arts and culture industry in 341 communities and regions nationwide, according to its website. The Arts Council of Clatsop County, formed in 2014, conducted the Clatsop County study. “This survey was suggested to help us get a handle on what we were trying to accomplish,” said Robin Risley, Cannon Beach representative for the Arts Council of Clatsop County. “Our goal was trying to find a way to quantify the arts,” said photographer Don Frank, Chair of the Arts Council of Clatsop County and Seaside representative. “We actually put a value to it, which shows it’s contribution to the community in dollars.” This was the first time that rural areas participated; therefore, this was Clatsop County’s first time conducting this study. “At the time, I didn’t know what to expect. I’m pleased the results show what a lot of us believe,” Frank said. “It’s not just being a painter or a potter,” he continued. “There are almost 400 jobs in the county for non-artists that the arts and the supporters of the arts help create.”

Representatives of the Arts Council of Clatsop County, including Astoria representative Dwight Caswell, said it is important to note that only nonprofit arts and cultural organizations participated in this study. If for-profit organizations were also included, he said, it would be a “reasonable assumption” to say the figures in the findings would be at least double. “We’re no longer just a fishing and logging area. Arts are making an impact,” Caswell, a photographer and Coast Weekend contributor, said. Of the 27 nonprofit arts and culture organizations in Clatsop County, 22 participated in the study. Among them were Cannon Beach Arts Association, Astoria Visual Arts and the Seaside Museum & Historical Society. Seven hundred eighty-seven audience-intercept surveys were collected from attendees to nonprofit arts and cultural events, exhibitions and performances. In every category the study analyzed, Clatsop County was above average compared to the median of similar regions. Of the 22 nonprofit arts and culture organizations, the aggregate attendance to their events was 160,816 during 2015, and of those attendees, the total audience expenditures for events related to the organizations was $10.8 million, excluding the cost of

admission. The study also reveals that tourism has a positive economic impact on Clatsop County. Total event-related expenditures for nonresidents was $8.4 million while local residents was $2.3 million. “Nonresident attendees spent an average of 327 percent more per person than local attendees,” according to the study. “We didn’t have any idea at all what the results would be, because there’s so many different areas of the community,” Risley said. “I think the art culture in the whole county is pretty lively right now.” Risley said she hopes that, with the survey results, community members will know the real value of what the arts bring to Clatsop County. Caswell said art “improves the culture of the area” and “makes more opportunities for enrichment for our lives.” In 2015, the Arts & Economic Prosperity 5 found that the nonprofit arts industry generated $166.3 billion of economic activity nationwide, according to the Clatsop study. A result of that was $27.5 billion generated in revenue to local, state and federal governments while supporting 4.6 million jobs. “What I love about the arts is that it’s an expression of ideas,” Frank said. “It’s a dialogue that is happening, and it’s really strong in Clatsop County.” CW

Continued from Page 4 Carr has served in various volunteer roles — actor, janitor, set painter, stagehand — and even directed “Junior Shanghaied” for kids, “Sleeping Beauty” and “The Jungle Book.” “The beauty of community theater is that everyone gets involved. Theater lets you think on your feet and act independently but also within a group,” Carr said. “And when you nail it on stage, there is nothing like hearing the applause. Nothing like it.”

New visions

Dena Tuving, an Astor Street veteran and the company’s new board president, is another volunteer who has helped keep the theater alive. Tuving acts in the show as well, sharing the role of “Vivian” with Patricia “Trish” Von Vintage. Doubling up certain roles — some-

times even triple casting them — prevents the actors from getting burned out during the 10-week season. Asked what keeps her involved, Tuving said: “The people.” “It’s a family. It’s the arts — the right brain / left brain outlet,” she said. “We need the arts in our community.” The company has new

leadership and fresh ideas, and hopes to diversify its productions, Brown said. “But ‘Shanghaied’ will always be the backbone of this theater.” The show runs through Saturday, Sept. 9, with performances Thursday through Saturday, and a few Sunday matinées.

BOOKMONGER Celebrate summer with ‘Ice Cream Poems’ Now that we’re heading into July, summer’s actually going to start acting like summer! To celebrate, this week I’m taking everyone out to the literary version of the corner ice cream shop, where you get to choose your favorite ﬂavors, up to 125 scoops! That’s because World Enough Writers, an imprint of Tillamook-based Concrete Wolf Press, has just

published an anthology titled “Ice Cream Poems.” The 125 poems presented therein for your reading delight are as varied as the tubs of ice cream that entice you from behind the glass freezer case at Baskin-Robbins. Editor Patricia Fargnoli has curated a selection of sonnets, sestinas, prose poems, free verse, and even a list poem with the title “Thirteen Ways to Lick an

“Ice Cream Poems” Ed. Patricia Fargnoli World Enough Writers 258 pp $5 Ice Cream Cone.” Yes, there is poetry in savoring ice cream — it’s part technique, and part flair. This reader would have been just as happy without quite so many mentions of tongues in these pages, but in the end there’s no denying the importance of what Julene Tripp Weaver identifies in her poem, “Ice Cream Cravings,” as part of the ice cream-eating experience: “a tongue-feel, a throat index measure.” And it’s true: How could one possibly avoid having a Pavlovian response to so many tantalizing references to butter pecan, spumoni, pineapple coconut, strawberry, licorice and chocolate chip mint? In this book, homage

is paid to several favorite hometown ice cream parlors, from here in the Paciﬁc Northwest (Mallard’s in Bellingham, Elevated Ice Cream Co. in Port Townsend), to other emporiums of chilly delight from Akron to Paris to Malaysia. But not all of the poets are ice cream snobs. Some are perfectly willing to give a tip of the hat to chains like Dairy Queen and Carvel, as well as to the Good Humor Man. Some of the poems in this book associate ice cream with sorrow or grief, while others connect it with love. In her poem, “Understanding,” Dana Beardsley Crotwell relates how, when their local grocery store discontinued carrying Tiramisu, her favorite flavor of ice cream, her devoted husband not only mailed corporate headquarters to demand answers, he also drove to all of the surrounding groceries to buy up the remaining cartons

for her. When she’d eaten her way through the final gallons, she realized, “I would find another flavor / but would definitely keep the husband.” There are many others in this anthology who confess the extent of their ice cream cravings. Bainbridge Island poet Carol Levin has a pair of such poems. One is a rejection of eating healthy vegetables (“Palatable as biting / into the twang / of a broken ﬁddle string”) for the hedonistic pleasures of ice cream. And then there’s “Bury Me,” her hilarious-

ly brazen plea to Dreyers to offer its peppermint ice cream with candies throughout the year, not just at Christmastime. Sadly, she was unsuccessful. The good news is that “Ice Cream Poems” is a zero-calorie treat that won’t melt away — a great way to kick off summer!
