The writing life Author Matt Love discusses his creative process

S

By MATT LOVE

Since 2002, I’ve given over 1,000 presentations about my books and various other Oregon literary/ historical topics. Traveling all over the state (and recently into coastal Washington), I’ve gigged at bars, barns, bookstores, galleries, coffee shops, theaters, radio stations, television studios, utility closets, fairs, ¿elds, parties, prisons, libraries, parks and historical museums and met thousands of fantastic people who have responded enthusiastically to my personal, somewhat eccentric approach to telling Oregon/ 3aci¿c 1orthwest stories.

During this time, I’ve also taught close to 50 writing workshops on a variety of topics and met hundreds of aspiring writers of all ages.

At the conclusion of these events and workshops, I am invariably asked some or all of the following questions: 1. Where do you get your writing ideas?

2. Who or what is your muse?

3. What’s your writing process?

4. How do you cope with literary rejection?

5. What’s your best piece of advice for aspiring writers?

6. What’s the secret to your success?

7. What type of writing workshop or group do you recommend?

8. Do you think you would have become a writer without the beach?

9. What’s your next writing project?

Generally, I believe no formula exists for becoming a writer, although the bookstores and internet are crammed with how-to guides that preach otherwise. I am also highly dubious of any writer/oracle who teaches workshops as if that teacher has the answer ² TH( A1SWER — carved in a stone tablet and handed down from … some-

where. I’ve sat through some of these workshops, and they seemed utterly preposterous to me.

1evertheless, many audience members want answers to divine something useful from my experiences, so here’s generally what I say: 1. Beach at dawn. (Best place to think. 1o distractions. 1o idiots. I

never use the phone or listen to music there. Watching the waves break is all I need to get the creative mind going. Having a dog helps, too.)

2. Beach. (I go on average three to ¿ve times a week, every day in the summer.)

3. Beach. (I visit the beach and write the openings of pieces in my head. Walking helps me perfect

them. When I return home, I sit down at the computer and type away. I never stare at a screen without knowing what I’m going to write ¿rst.)

4. Beach. (I would have quit writing along time ago if I didn’t have the ocean to annihilate my angst and ego after receiving rejection after rejection from mainstream

publications and publishers. The old sound of the ocean helps me start anew every time I hear it.)

5. Beach. (As in: Go to it all the time and think about what you want to write instead of wasting time inhaling popular culture.)

6. Beach. (Making the time to write translates to going to the beach all the time, which is my preparation to write. Weather doesn’t matter. Is that a secret? 1o: It’s out there for anyone to try.)

7. Beach (It’s totally free — in Oregon at least — and you won’t ever have to endure the one narcissistic lunatic who typically ruins a writing workshop or group.)

8. 1o. The desert and mountains don’t inspire me the same way. Obviously, this isn’t the case for every writer; different landscapes or cityscapes appeal to different personalities. I just know it would have never happened for me without the beach, Oregon’s publicly owned beaches, preserved in the manner they have been for all those years, until I came along to discover them in my early 30s, when I moved to the Oregon Coast some 19 years ago.

9. Oregon’s beaches. July 7, 2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the state’s famous 1967 Beach Bill, which protected the dry sands area of the beaches from privatization and commercial exploitation.

I hope to collaborate with many other writers, artists and entrepreneurs in creating a publication and multiple public spectacles that celebrate this important piece of legislation. 1aturally, I got this idea at the beach.

Matt Love is author/editor of 14 books, including his debut novel about Oregon’s beaches, “The Great Birthright.” They are available at coastal bookstores, through www.nestuccaspitpress. com and local libraries.

First Sunset Series concert to hit Liberty Theater stage Horse Feathers and Mandolin Orange perform July 13, Blind Pilot plays two August shows ASTORIA — The Liberty Theater’s genre-spanning folk music Sunset Series will kick off with a Wednesday, July 13 preview show featuring a dual bill of Northwest meets Appalachian music. Portland’s Horse Feathers will join North Carolina’s Mandolin Orange for an intimate night of music at the Liberty Theater, offering a glimpse of what’s to come for the series.

Home-town heroes Blind 3LORW ZLOO NLFN RII WKH RI¿FLDO Sunset Series on Aug. 19 and 20 with two CD release concerts, debuting songs from the band’s Aug. 12 major-label debut “And Then Like Lions.” Tickets are available through Tickets West.

The Sunset Series will run once a month for a six-part program. Developed in part by Liberty Theater Board members Israel Nebeker and Darren Orange, the shows aim to bring a younger generation of concert go-ers together through a loose theme of independent folk-pop-rock music.

Beverages will be made available from local breweries and wineries. The Sunset Series has been made possible by donations as well as an impending grant from the Promote Astoria Fund. To keep up on upcoming performances, see astoriasunsetseries.com Mandolin Orange, a duo made up by Emily Frantz and Andrew Marlin, is touring North America in support of its new record

Blind Pilot will play two concerts at the Liberty Theater to kick off the Sunset Series on Aug. 19 (sold-out) and Aug. 20. Tickets are on sale now through Tickets West.

“Such Jubilee,” which dropped May 5. NPR named the 2013 release of the duo’s album “This Side of Jordan”

one of the year’s best folk/ Americana releases.

With members scattered from Astoria, Portland

and North Carolina, Horse Feathers is making a return to its Northwest stomping grounds for a one-off performance. After a run of shows opening up for Joe Pug, Horse Feathers is on the brink of new material, the first since the group’s 2014 release, “So it is with Us.” Along with longtime bandmates Nathan Crockett (strings/mandolin) and Dustin Dybvig (percusion/ drums/keys), band-leader Justin Ringle brought Justin Power (bass/vocals) into the mix to have, “an honest-to-god rhythm section for the first time. With Lauren Vidal on cello and Brad Parsons singing harmonies, we played an impromptu show at Sasquatch and people liked it. We liked it, and the unusual feeling that I had after that show — which I think is referred to as ‘joy’ — became something I wanted to experience again.”

Blind Pilot’s new album “And Then like Lions,” out Aug. 12, is its first album since 2011. The six-member band will make 25-plus stops on tour this summer and fall, including the Music Hall of Williamsburg in New York, shows with Brandi Carlile and an Oct. 20 return to Portland’s Crystal Ballroom.

Written and composed

by Blind Pilot’s Israel Nebeker over the course of three years, the record is a transcendent, cathartic response to the loss of his father and the end of a 13year relationship.

Blind Pilot has performed on “Ellen” and “The Late Show with David Letterman,” at the Newport Folk Festival, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza. The group has shared stages with The Shins, Andrew Bird, Calexico and more. The project began in 2007 when Nebeker and co-founding member Ryan Dobrowski went on a West Coast tour via bicycle.

Demystify vino with Wine 101 class CANNON BEACH — Destiny Dudley’s relationship with wine is profound. She’s been involved with every part of the process, from growing grapes to fermentation to sales and marketing. And while Dudley’s connection to the fermented grape is deep, it need not be haughty. “It’s not rocket science,�

Dudley says of wine appreciation. “There’s an element in certain circles that has an air of righteousness. And that, for me, is the biggest turnoff and debilitating element of the wine industry — just making it seem so unattainable.�

In hopes of demystifying, Dudley presents Wine Tasting and Appreciation 101, Saturday, July 9 at Tolovana Hall in Cannon Beach.

7KHUH 'XGOH\ D FHUWLÂżHG sommelier and longtime wine-educator, will lead a small group through an informational tasting session.

Wine and palate-cleansing snacks will be provided.

As well as introduction to viniculture, Saturday’s workshop will be an exercise

and sharpening of the senses. “Wine is a sensory experience,� Dudley says. “Based upon sight, smell and taste, you have these indicators that lead you down a path with the goal to know where the wine comes from, what kind of grape it is, who made the wine, what vintage it is.�

Saturday’s workshop will focus on Oregon wines: three reds and three whites. “The goal of the class is to help guests learn the difference between the varieties of grapes as well as being able to showcase and highlight the style of Oregon,�

Dudley says.

Developing one’s palate and exercising one’s senses has a spillover effect that extends beyond wine itself. “I discovered my passion for food through my passion for wine,� Dudley says. “Before that I didn’t cook.

I didn’t know good food. I grew up in a family where everything we ate came out RI D ER[ RU FDQ ,W ZDV GH¿nitely wine that led me down the path of culinary arts.�

On the coast, Dudley

works as sommelier for Jonathan Hoffman, two-time champion of Iron Chef Goes Coastal. The two met working a dinner at the James Beard House in New York City.

As well as a sommelier, 'XGOH\ LV D &HUWLÂżHG :LQH Educator by the Society of Wine Educators. She has spent nearly a decade giving tours of Oregon wineries, as well as working in tasting rooms and organizing staff trainings for restaurants. “As a sommelier, my particular drive is being an educator,â€? Dudley says, “and breaking down the barriers of wine and making it not so inhibited and pretentious.â€? “The main focus of the class is to help people approach wine with an open mind, and to not be so intimated by it,â€? she says.

While there is no prerequisite for taking the class, ZLQH DÂżFLRQDGRV WRR DUH encouraged to attend. “Wine 101 appeals to all levels of wine connoisseurs,â€? Dudley says, “from the person who has a glass of wine here or there to the

person who has a wine cellar in their home. It should be entertaining for all levels of wine knowledge.â€? “The purpose isn’t to dumb wine down,â€? Dudley adds. “It’s to help people evaluate, appreciate and have better conversations about wine, as well to be able to walk into a grocery store or restaurant and have WKH FRQÂżGHQFH DQG WKH knowledge to navigate the wines without a Wine Spectator magazine in hand.â€? “Too many people rely on other people to tell them what to drink,â€? Dudley says. “This class will instill not only the NQRZOHGJH EXW FRQÂżGHQFH DQG UHÂżQHPHQW RI \RXU RZQ palate to choose for yourself.â€?

Tickets to the intimate, hands-on workshop are $45, and space is limited.

Registration is required in advance of the event, which takes place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. July 9 at Tolovana Hall, 3779 S. Hemlock St. Learn more at tolovanaartscolony. org, email tolovanaartscolony@gmail.com, or call 541-215-4445.

Nick Jaina to perform Presentations to explore immigration, race, tacos Portland musician to play KALA, Sou’Wester Lodge

‘Who Eats at Taco Bell?’ project visits Naselle, Astoria

ASTORIA and SEAVIEW, Wash. — Portland musician, composer and author Nick Jaina will perform twice this coming weekend on both sides of the Columbia River.

First he’ll play at 8:30 p.m. Friday, July 8 at KALA, 1017 Marine Drive in Astoria. Then he’ll travel across the Columbia and perform at 8 p.m. Saturday, July 3728 J Place.

Indie-folk musician Lonesome Leash will open both shows, which are open to the public. KALA has an $8 cover charge.

Jaina’s live performance is like an engaging audio scrapbook. He loops together guitar melodies and found sounds and reads passages of his book “Get It While You Can” over them. The format is almost like a podcast, reaching the listener on many different emotional and intellectual levels.

A musician and writer, Jaina has toured the world during the last decade, releasing several albums on HUSH Records and Fluff Gravy Records. His ¿rst book, “Get It While You Can,” is a memoir about a love of music and the world.

The book was a ¿nalist for the 2016 Oregon Book Award for creative non¿ction.

Jaina has composed soundtracks for feature ¿lms, plays and ballets. He is co-founder and musical director of the Satellite Ballet and Collective in New York City, which has collaborated with dancers from the New York City Ballet and Julliard.

Lonesome Leash is the solo moniker of Los Angeles-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Walt McClements. Known for previous involvement in

NASELLE, Wash. and ASTORIA— What do tacos have to do with demographic shifts, forgotten history or cultural belonging? Gaelyn and Gustavo Aguilar intend to delve into that complex question with their dynamic project “Who Eats at Taco Bell?”

The couple has been leading presentations during a two-month expedition on the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail, staring May 14 in Illinois and traveling across 11 states. Seeking to spark reÀection and community connection, the Aguilars share tacos and prompt dialogue and engagement around the question: What is it going to take for Americans to truly live interculturally?

The Aguilars will present “Who Eats at Taco Bell?” in the local area this month.

First, they’ll visit the Knappton Cove Heritage Center in Naselle, Washington, from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, July 9. The presentation is in collaboration with Lt. Jesus Reyna, a registered nurse and Region 10 Minority Health Consultant for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Of¿ce

the bands Dark Dark Dark, Hurray for the Riff Raff, and Why Are We Building Such A Big Ship?, McClements, as Lonesome Leash, channels all of his musical experiences into a solo affair with accordion and drum set. Born in Durham, North Carolina, McClements settled in New Oreleans in 2004 for almost a decade before traveling for two years and winding up in Los Angeles. The journey spawned his latest solo album “Precious Futures,” which was released in November 2015.

of Minority Health. Reyna was deployed in 2014 to the U.S.-Mexico border to work with unaccompanied minors.

Then, the Aguilars will visit Astoria. On July 14, the couple will set up their “taco encampment,” featuring taco making and portrait taking, conversation and a multimedia performance. The encampment will take place from 3 to 6 p.m. at the River People Farmers Market, located at 12th and Exchange streets, and continue at 7:30 p.m. across the street at Peace Lutheran Church.

The couple will also give a presentation looking back at their two-month expedition at 6 p.m. July 15 at the Astoria Public Library.

The focus of “Who Eats at Taco Bell?” centers on how immigration, race and colonialism in America’s past continue to inÀuence personal and political notions of movement and identity — and what we can learn from history to improve the future.

The idea for the project was sparked in Gustavo Aguilar’s hometown in Texas: a town of 175,000 with 150 to 200 taquerias. And yet, one Taco Bell continues to thrive.

In investigating why, the Aguilars began to understand how the American diet — as much as it has been formed

by the intermingling of different cultures — sheds light on the multiple ways that Americans have chosen to de¿ne what it means to be an American, as well as the implicit biases that exist in the popular imagination.

The demographic face of the U.S. is changing; according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics constitute 17 percent of the population and are the largest ethnic or racial minority. Such changes can expose underlying fears, leading to tension and conÀict, such as recent debates around immigration policy and racial justice.

For the Aguilars’ project, the taco operates as an indicator species: one small part of an ecosystem that can signal the health of a society faced with multiplying diversities. “Who Eats at Taco Bell?” explores the paradox of how someone could harbor a disdain for “foreigners” but also a love of their food.

At the same time, setting the project on the Lewis and Clark trail adds another layer to the theme of movement and cultural identity that the project explores; the trail was forged by an expedition that played an important role in European-American territorial, cultural and economic expansion.

By cooking and eating tacos with attendees at their events, the Aguilars invite people from varied backgrounds to transcend differences and come together. “Who Eats at Taco Bell?” is designed to spark ideas and strengthen relationships through engagement with a range of critical themes: socio-economic mobility, cultural belonging, movement and borders, assimilation and appropriation, and new forms of cultural identity.

Gaelyn Aguilar is a cultural anthropologist, and Gustavo Aguilar is a composer and performer with a research interest in critical studies. The two co-facilitate the Tug Collective, a interdisciplinary organization focusing on re/search, contemporary social practice, and participatory, problem-based interventions that tackle the cultural politics of contemporary border regions in North America.

ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, July 9. Meet artists and mingle with art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits.

ART BUSINESSES

1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Helga Winter returns with her third solo show, “A Passion for Change.” Known for her wood turnings, Winter pushes boundaries to keep her work fresh. This series includes a new medium: vessels made from tea papers. She will also include more traditional madrone turned vessels and wall-hung pieces created from repurposed pages of books.

originals from local event posters.

4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. See new acrylic paintings by Vicki Baker, who recently returned to Astoria from the gulf coast of Florida.

She brought along a flock of colorful and imaginative “Uncommon Bird” paintings. Baker and other artists will be present. Denise Reed will perform vocal and keyboard music.

Refreshments will be served.

2. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. Environmental landscape paintings by southwest Washington artist Jennifer Williams are featured in her solo exhibition “Take Refuge.”

The work explores the intricate and often fragile connections between civilization and wilderness and is a tribute to the grandeur and mystery of the waterways and rugged wild spaces that define the Northwest.

In the Alcove space, Astoria artist Rick Crawford offers a series of sculpture and jewelry created from reclaimed wood, forged and salvaged metal, and other materials. His work is driven by surface texture as well as composition, with disparate elements blending into elegant forms. Known for his carving, he often begins a piece on the lathe but spends the most time working with hand tools.

The resulting work appears to have been carved by the natural forces of wind, sand and sea.

5. KALA 1017 Marine Drive KALA continues the exhibition “The Coast is Queer” by guest curator and Portland gallerist Mark Woolley. The exhibit celebrates the diverse art being produced in Oregon by queer-identified artists. Not all the artists explore queerness in their art; they are just producing interesting, works that reflect their inner vision. Artists include Paul Soriano, Dorothy Goode, Wesley Youni, Chuck E. Bloom, Tabor Porter and Greg Carrigan, Marne Lucas and Sid Deluca.

All three photographers have adventures to relate. As a soil geologist, Art Limbird’s work took him and his wife around the world, allowing the couple to photograph different cultures and remote areas. In the U.S., their interest in things geologic led to photos of twisted canyons in the Southwest, driftwood on the North Coast and more. Shumaker’s profession as a cartographer and graphic artist led him into working as a photographer and wildlife biologist.

He filmed the world from Alaska to Antarctica. Shumaker is in the process of scanning his estimated 20,000 film photos into a digital format.

The Peninsula Association of Performing Artists brings the comedy musical ‘Once Upon a Mattress’ to its summer stage Story by MARILYN GILBAUGH Photos by DANNY MILLER

feisty girl, a mama’s boy with an overbearing mother, and an itty bitty pea — the popular reality television show “The Bachelor” doesn’t hold a candle to this tall tale. This summer the Peninsula Association of Performing Artists is set to delight audiences with “Once Upon a Mattress,” a madcap musical take on Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale “The Princess and the Pea.“ Fall under the spell of make-believe from July 8 through Aug. 7, a ¿ve-week run for the nonpro¿t theater troupe, with performances Friday and Saturday evenings at 7 p.m. and Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m.

The theater’s location is a scene stealer itself. Situated in a wooded wonderland, it sits high on the rocky promontory of Washington’s 593-acre Fort Columbia State Park overlooking the mouth of the Columbia River. The former World War II military center, which started being used as a theater in 1930, may be a little off the mark of a 10th-century medieval setting, but it’s easy to make a leap of faith and envision a long-ago magical kingdom.

PAPA preparation for the summer show began in April when the cast and crew started gathering to learn lines, block scenes and rehearse dance numbers. As with other PAPA productions, preliminary rehearsals for “Once Upon a Mattress” took place at PAPA president Cindy Flood’s Flood Farm Bed and Barn on the Long Beach

Multi-talented Long Beach

Peninsula legend Barbara Poulshock directs the show. During rehearsals she is seated royally on an overstuffed chair. The adoring and appreciative cast is at her beck and call — her own bunch of ladies in waiting, so to speak.

“Musicals aren’t great because they have great actors in them; musicals are great because they have the ability to coax the greatness out of the actors,” said Megan Fechter, PAPA’s director of marketing.

“Barbara Poulshock, for example, ¿nds what makes the actors tick.

She knows exactly what to say to get them to hit the mark. Something like, ‘Pretend it’s a soap opera, people.’ She can see the emotion more or less that’s needed and how to draw it out, often from real life experiences.”

On an 8.5-by-11-inch yellow notepad balanced on her lap, Poulshock is constantly making notes that, if she can decipher her own handwriting (her words), she will share with the cast during their break.

“Just a little more movement, but not too much,” she tells one actor.

“Slower,” she offers to another.

“Add a little more excitement, a little more fun to your lines — but that will happen when you play to an audience,” Poulshock coaches.

This play is rumored to be one of her favorites. And that’s saying a lot. At 89, Poulshock has, over her decades-long career, directed a multitude of musicals and more.

“During our performances, there are no prompts. You memorize your lines backward and forward, or you make something up,” said longtime PAPA veteran Brook Brown, who plays Princess Winnifred the Woebegone in the musical. “If you accidentally drop a hanky or a button, you make it a part of the play.”

The storyline to “Once Upon a Mattress” in a nutshell — or should that read pea pod? — centers around a royal family. It includes Queen Aggravain, played by Cindy Flood: a mother, wife and a waytoo-bossy queen with a mean streak (think helicopter parenting to the max). Queen Aggravain’s kind but mute and curse-ridden husband is King Sextimus the Silent, played

by Jonathan Cole. King Sextimus is unable to speak due to an evil curse that can be lifted only when “a

Artists reclaim waste for artful invention Astoria Visual Arts, Recology Western Oregon name two artists for residency ASTORIA — Two regional artists have been selected to participate in the inaugural Coastal Oregon Artist Residency program, which was developed collaboratively by Recology Western Oregon, an employee-owned company that manages resource recovery facilities on the North Coast, and ORFDO DUWV QRQSUR¿W $VWRULD Visual Arts. COAR aims to support the creation of art from recycled, repurposed and discarded materials.

Sean Barrow, of Astoria, and Dawn Stetzel, of Seaview, Washington, were selected by a jury of arts and environmental professionals.

Each will be provided with a monthly stipend, materials and dedicated studio space at Recology’s Astoria Recycling Depot and Transfer Station over a three-month period, commencing July 11.

By supporting artists who work with recycled materials, AVA and Recology Western Oregon hope to encourage people to conserve natural resources and promote new ways of thinking about art and the environment.

Barrow, an Eastern Oregon native, is a multi-media sculptor who works frequent-

design and moving imagery.

Barrow is keen to engineer new sculptural building materials out of recycled media. “I like to reach into the science of projects when I can, so I’m very interested to learn of the processes, the lifespans of the materials and what innovations are possible as a result,” he says.

connection and a profound separation.

“My process is to not just make art out of trash,” says Stetzel. “There is a story to all the material that I collect, a strong connection to place and the people who live here. For me, this way of making is a life-path of stewardship and creative problem-solving that provides a connection to each other and the environment.”

Astoria Visual Arts was founded in 1989 as a ORFDO QRQSUR¿W PHPEHUVKLS organization to enhance, strengthen and promote the arts in the Astoria area.

Recology Western Oregon manages municipal disposal processes and services that span the needs of urban, suburban and rural communities.

Recology companies operating in California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington specialize in integrated resource recovery and recycling. As an employee-owned company, Recology sees a world without waste. This is the vision of over 3,000 employees whose mission is to build exceptional resource ecosystems that protect the environment and sustain communities.

from recycled materials by the end of this residency.”

Barrow received a Bachelor of Arts in industrial design, with an emphasis on sustainability, and a minor in sculpture from Evergreen State College in Olympia.

Originally from Iowa, Stetzel holds an Master of Fine Arts from the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth. She has done several artist residencies, including an invitational in China and a two-month residency in Brazil. After a residency at the Sitka Center of Art and Ecology on the Central Oregon Coast, she began a journey of exploring various ways of connecting to place.

Her recent sculptures use the house as a metaphor for humans: a single house stands for an individual and a cluster of houses for a community. This gives the artist the opportunity to explore the intangible: Her feelings regarding a sense of community and her search for belonging.

In her sculpture “Housedress,” Stetzel uses discarded materials to create house structures that, she says, are similar to shantytowns with shared walls and barely-held-together roofs to which she feels both a

The venue will host The Hey-Ho Trio for a concert at 7 p.m. Saturday, July 9.

Led by crooner and rhythm guitarist Doug Sammons, the trio’s repertoire consists of gems from the past, as well as vintage-sounding original songs. The group is ¿OOHG RXW ZLWK 'HH 6HWWOHPLer and Doc Stein.

Dee Settlemier, a vocalist who also plays guitar, mandolin, banjo and ukulele, has been writing songs and singing for as long as she can remember. She was a founding member of the acoustic folk-rock group Mad Hattie.

Doc Stein, who plays Hawaiian steel guitar, grew up on the East Coast playing

country and western swing, ragtime and blues on guitar, banjo and dobro. In 1985 he moved to the Portland area, where he played in various bands including Retta and the Smart Fellas and Fritz Richmond’s Barbeque Orchestra.

The Shelburne Inn in Seaview, Washington, will host an Ernest Hemingway dinner on July 9.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE

By MATT LOVE

The Shelburne Inn Pub At long last, I made my way to the historic Shelburne Inn in Seaview. I’d heard so many wonderful descriptions about it that I simply had to visit.

Imagine my surprise when I walked in and met fellow Coast Weekend contributor Dwight Caswell.

The convivial Dwight was pulling a shift as a bartender in Shelburne’s cozy pub, greeted me warmly and set me up right with a local beer and a bowl of the exquisite mussel chowder. It

was easily the best chowder I’ve tasted in years and will redefine the word “chowder” in your mind, which is a good thing when so many coastal clam chowders have virtually no distinction, and apparently, few clams.

The pub exudes a charming literary vibe, and thus it makes perfect sense for the Shelburne Inn to host an Ernest Hemingway dinner matched with Papa’s favorite cocktails on July 9.

Quite naturally, being that he’s a writer and

remarkable doctor of mixology, Dwight will have a starring role in the Hemingway dinner; he’ll entertain diners by reading passages from Hemingway’s classic works, and who knows, maybe sip a little Pernod and challenge someone to a round of fisticuffs and go full-tilt Ernest.

Most hard core Hemingway fans have a favorite book. I’m partial to “A Moveable Feast,” his 1964 memoir of living in Paris in the 1920s. It was the golden era of the Lost Generation when Hemingway was writing “The Sun Also Rises,” his influential debut novel, and hanging out with the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Gertrude Stein.

There are dozens of wicked anecdotes in “A Moveable Feast,” and one can only hope Dwight chooses one to read that involves eating and drinking. That would seem only fitting for a writer’s den like the Shelburne Inn pub.

Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books, including “A Nice Piece of Astoria.” His books are available at coastal bookstores or his web site, nestuccaspitpress.com

Hug Point: a 42-acre Oregon State Recreation Site located approximately five miles south of Cannon Beach to the west of U.S. 101 just north of Arch Cape. This stretch of sandy cove beach and its forested headlands include a waterfall, caves and tide pools to explore during low tide. Hug Point becomes impassable during high tide.

Origin: Enters English in the

mid-16th century most likely from a Scandinavian source. Compare to the Old Norwegian and Old Icelandic hugga, which means “to comfort.” It is first noted as a noun in 1617 as a hold in wrestling. It wasn’t until the 1650s that its common association with an affectionate embrace is recorded.

Hug Point is said to have gotten its name from late-19th century travelers, who used the beach as a stagecoach route — the only way to gain access to Arch Cape in the south.

The rustic beach road was carved into the head, which the coaches had to “hug” to get by. When the road was blasted out of the rock face and by whom continues to be a source of debate.

“In the 1910s, a roadway was blasted out at Hug Point, which made the road accessible to automobiles as well as coaches, though it was only usable at low tide. Several sources claim it dates to 1920, when a man from Arch Cape bought a brand-new Maxwell

motorcar and tried to drive it home.

It reportedly got stuck in the surf while driving around the point, and the incoming tide submerged it. The man was so angry he raised subscriptions from his neighbors, bought dynamite and blasted out the roadbed — so the story goes.

Stagecoaches, wagons and now automobiles could finally cross Hug Point at low tide without getting pickled in corrosive saltwater. And cross it they did, regularly; after all, there was no alternative. To this day, you can still see the wheel ruts from the original stagecoach road dug into the rocks.”

“For a long time Hug Point was considered quite a drawback to that part of the beach south of it, as it was passable to vehicles only at extreme low tide, but the perseverance and energy of the people soon found a remedy for the drawback, and with the aid of drill and powder they carved a perfect roadway around the solid rock point, making a passable highway at nearly any stage of the tide.”

—Herman Rose, “Most Picturesque Stretch of the Pacific Shore,” The Sunday Oregonian, August 14, 1904, P. 31
