Saturday skate night set Enjoy roller derby, then support Q Center ASTORIA — If you love to roller skate, then the Astoria Armory is the place to be. Two all-ages events are set for Saturday, June 13.

Roller derby bout

First, the Shanghaied Roll-

er Dolls will play their fourth home roller derby game of the season.

The Shanghaied Roller Dolls and derby girls from all over the state of Oregon will hit the track in two teams and battle it out — Goonies style

— as pirates verses mobsters.

Why? Because derby girls never say die.

The game starts at 6 p.m., and doors open at 5 p.m. The Astoria Armory is located at 1636 Exchange St. Tickets are $10 for general admission at shanghaiedrollerdolls.org. VIP tickets are also available for $35, which include a drink ticket and balcony seating. Limited tickets will be available at the door.

As part of Nehalem Bay State Park’s summer programs, the U.S. Coast Guard drops in to discuss their duties and beach safety.

4 | June 11, 2015 | coastweekend.com

Getting the family into the great outdoors together in an age of gadgets can be challenging. Why bother with a hike when you can watch a cat play the piano on your phone? Nehalem Bay State Park is determined to change that with its summer programs. Beginning in mid-June, the park offers exciting activities designed to engage young and old alike.

Nehalem Bay State Park couldn’t ask for a better location: ocean beach on one side, river and bay on the other. Situated on a 4-mile-long sand spit, the park features a large campground, a boat ramp, two dayuse areas, a horse camp, and winding forested bike paths. There’s even an airstrip IRU À \ LQ FDPSHUV ,Q VKRUW \RXœG KDYH WR work really hard to be bored.

Shelley Parker, the state park’s program director, is in charge of arranging programs for campers and day visitors of all ages. As thousands of visitors pour LQWR WKH SDUN HYHU\ VXPPHU VKH LV FRQÂż dent that the schedule has something for everyone. “Our goal is to make every program family friendly,â€? she said.

Looking at some of the offerings backs that up: “Early Days Of Nehalem� covers the history of the area; “Treasures of Nehalem Bay� has kids make treasure chests and go treasure-hunting; “Maritime Mystery� travels back in time to discuss the cannons discovered from the USS Shark.

The U.S. Coast Guard also drops in to discuss their duties and beach safety.

A biggie is the Junior Ranger Program, which runs at 10:30 a.m. each day in the summer. Offered at parks around the state, it encourages youngsters to explore the park where they are camping. Kids ages 6 to 12 learn about plants, animals, recycling and conservation. Run by park rangers and volunteers, it puts fun into learning about, and caring for, Nehalem Bay. “Junior Rangers gets kids out into the park,� Parker said. “They do as much exploration of our individual resources as possible.�

The program offers an activity booklet and a “passport� for each participant. “There’s three levels of activities at the

Beachcombing is a program particular to Nehalem Bay. Run by a park ranger, it introduces visitors to treasures hidden in the sand. “The program’s ranger is an avid beachcomber who’s found things like JapDQHVH JODVV Ă€ RDWV DQG DJDWHV ´ 3DUNHU VDLG %LUGV DQG DJDWHV DUHQÂśW DOO \RXÂśOO Âż QG DW Nehalem Bay State Park. Looking for a bit of “The Bard,â€? but can’t get to Ashland?

Nehalem Bay State Park has you covered, as a Shakespeare program has become a well-received addition to the park’s repertoire. “We had a new manager from Nevada ZKR LQWURGXFHG LW DERXW Âż YH \HDUV DJR ´ Parker said. “Shakespeare was really popular in his previous park, so he brought it here.â€?

Shakespeare runs nights at the parks’ amphitheater in late summer and is performed by a professional troupe from Portland called OPS Fest, or Original Practice Shakespeare.

Musicians routinely make appearances, such as area bands Sedona Fire and the Tsunami Drummers. “Music varies each year, but we concentrate on getting local bands,�

Parker said.

Evening programs draw larger crowds, and there’s plenty of room at the parks’ amphitheater, which can accommodate up to 400. “We come close (to maxing out), especially for Shakespeare or music, but we generally average between 60 and 80 people,� Parker said.

Evening programs are not just for campers and are open to the public. Parker reminds visitors that while programs are free, parking is limited and a $5 day-use fee or annual pass is required for parking.

There’s more for visitors to Nehalem %D\ 6WDWH 3DUN WR GR WKDQ WKH\ FRXOG Âż W LQWR one visit, and Parker adds there are more programs on the way. “There’s always a few more things we are looking to throw into the mix,â€? she said.

“They learn about marine life in this area, the history of Neahkahnie Mountain and maritime history,� Parker said. “Each Junior Ranger Program is tailored to the particular park they are in.�

While younger campers are certainly a focus, park programs have something for the whole family.

That includes the recent the discovery of a nesting pair of endangered western snowy plovers. While the park hasn’t yet received a lot of inquiries about the birds, Parker wants programs that are proactive in educating the public on the topic. “We incorporate snowy plovers into our regular birding programs, but we are adding a program just to discuss them,�

Parker said. That includes bringing in a snowy plover intern who will be doing outreach at the park’s day area, as well as scheduled presentations.

When asked what programs tend to be the most popular, Parker says the park’s wide array of choices allow for all of the programs to be well-received. “There’s a lot of interest here in maritime mysteries, shipwrecks, history,� she said. “People always like the owl program a lot, too.�

Owls are a favorite; attendees learn about the elusive birds in a natural setting. A variety of owls can be found at both Nehalem Interested in Nehalem Bay State Park’s programs?

Moments from Iceland Blind Pilot drummer Ryan Dobrowski opens new art show at Imogen Gallery is studio fronts the Columbia River. A large open space, it seems to have everything an artist might need. Room for painting, with a ping-pong table on one side and a set of drums on the other. Ryan Dobrowski is an artist who works in at least two mediums, oil painting and music.

Most people know Dobrowski as a musician, the drummer with the indie folk collective Blind Pilot, co-founder of the band with Israel Nebeker. During the June 13 Second Saturday Art Walk in Astoria, you can see another side of Dobrowski: A show of his paintings opens at Imogen Gallery, the result of a month-long, 1,000-mile bicycle trip he took around Iceland. “It’s something I did solo,� he says, “and now I’m sharing with other people the various moments I had on the trip.�

Before he went there, it was not unusual for people to tell him that many of his landscape paintings reminded them of Iceland.

When he arrived in Iceland, he says, “Sure enough, there was a moody starkness and a

kind of beauty I had been trying to capture in these paintings.� There were no trees and a lot of bare rock. “You’re very exposed to the elements, the wind and rock.�

Dobrowski has always felt that his connection to a landscape, “is very real and interesting, and Iceland resonated with me.�

While in Iceland Dobrowski took a lot of pictures with a cheap plastic camera. “They weren’t enough,â€? he says, “but they were a starting point for the paintings.â€? That Dobrowski might start with photographs isn’t too surprising. His mother is a painter and his father a photographer, and one of KLV HDUO\ LQĂ€XHQFHV ZDV Robert Rauschenberg, “who used photo collage with loose paint marks to document his experiences in life.â€?

The result, in many of the paintings in this show, is a landscape that is impressionistic and painterly, to which Dobrowski has added an element that is more rendered, if not quite photo-realistic. Dobrowski says, “It creates a tension, how different planes and objects in the planes DGG XS 7KHUHÂśV D Ă€LSSLQJ EDFN DQG IRUWK between a photograph and an impressionist painting.â€?

Over the years, Dobrowski says, he has “changed things a good amount with each new body of work. It’s almost like making an album. It’s still my voice, but it’s something new and quite a bit different.�

Dobrowski studied art at the University of Oregon, where he had to choose to pursue a GHJUHH LQ HLWKHU PXVLF RU ÂżQH DUW +H FKRVH WR earn a Bachelor of Fine Arts with painting as a

Which is not to say that he is about to abandon his other medium, music. The University of Oregon was also where he met Israel Nebeker, and they began to play music together.

He asked Nebeker if he would like to take a bike tour while playing music, “and then we came out here to the coast. Israel already had VRPH VRQJV DQG ZH UHFRUGHG RXU ÂżUVW (3 here.â€?

Riding through a jungle of dinosaurs in a Thunderbird convertible left a lasting impression on him, and he’s been viewing the world through an absurdist’s eye ever since. Through the process of archival ink jet printing on cotton rag, (known as the giclée

MALAI THAI

Dive in and find something delicious at this new Long Beach restaurant

I

I stumbled across Malai Thai rather by accident. Driving through Long Beach, I noticed the sign. “Wait a minute,� I muttered, “what’s that?� It hadn’t appeared in any of my research. I thought: Maybe they’re new?; or, maybe they’re just not online? Either way, Thai sounded good, and I was up for some blind exploration.

It was around 7 p.m. on a slow Sunday evening. I opened the door to a small room with a service window to the kitchen, a cash register and a small table or two. My companion and I were greeted by a sweet, diminutive woman of perhaps 60 or 70, who I can only assume was Thai. She said “hello,� smiled ear to ear, and led us gently to the adjacent dining room.

Or, should I say, dining rooms. There were three of them. Each was small and sparsely decorated, save for a few cross hatch wall hangings and a traditional fan. The tables and chairs were so unadorned they might as well have been found at a conference center yard sale. My companion and I were the only diners, and a IHZ PRPHQWV DIWHU ZH VDW GRZQ D P\VWLFDO À XWH music cued up on the stereo. The temperature inside was brisk, and the place settings without knives. I looked across the table at my companion and raised my eyebrows, as if to say: What are we in for?

The menu was numbered and voluminous. It included appetizers; soups; salads; two pages of specials (18, incorporating mostly seafood and duck); a page of 13 fried rices (available with fried tofu, chicken, pork, beef or seafood); and D SDJH RI QRRGOHV QLQH DQG FXUULHV Âż YH DOVR ZLWK FKRLFH RI SURWHLQ 'HFLGLQJ ZDV GLIÂż FXOW I asked the host/waitress what she might recommend and quickly it became clear: She spoke little English and understood less. “This very good,â€? she said, pointing to the “Seafood Loverâ€? special, the one dish on the menu with a large, color photograph corresponding. It showed a smorgasbord of calamari, shrimp, scallops and more. She said again, “Yes, very good.â€? I still needed a moment, and happily she VKXIĂ€ HG RII After pouring feckless over the multitude, I Âż QDOO\ KDG WR MXVW VHWWOH RQ VRPHWKLQJ $QG , did: the Roasted Duck Curry ($17). My companion went with the aforementioned Seafood Lover ($18), and we added a calamari appetizer ($8).

A few short minutes later the deep fried calamari arrived, stacked on a small plate, drizzled with a sweet and sour cream sauce and looking more like onion rings. They were heavily breaded and peppered, and the meat inside was ample.

The meat was also suspiciously uniform, and I wondered if it came processed and frozen.

The same couldn’t be said for the abundance of stir-fried oceana on the Seafood Lover plate.

It was teeming with vegetables and fresh-tasting scallops, swollen clams and shrimp, all covered in a salty, savory clam sauce, and topped with a small cut of breaded salmon, which was lightly crispy, almost candied on the outside, with soft SLQN LQQDUGV ,W ZDV D ¿ QH FDUHIXO FURZQ The Roasted Duck Curry was served steaming hot. It was sweet, with a very manageable spice. The duck was slow cooked and extremely tender. Succulent and thick, the texture was almost beef-like. The duck was rich, satisfying, and there was loads of it — some with the skin on, and some with it mostly separated. Mixing in the bowl were bell peppers and pineapples, which were welcome explosions of tropical sweetness. Being recently chopped and added to the broth on order — rather than included in the slow cooking — enabled the fruits and

veggies — particularly the peppers — to retain their utmost character and crunch.

To our order I added Phad Thai to go, not so much because I yearned for it — our main courses, served with white rice, were enough for two full meals apiece. I got the Phad Thai because I feel like it is often a go-to order for the uninitiated or less-adventurous. I got it with chicken ($11) and when it came to open the styrofoam container the next day I was staggered by the weight: It must’ve been a pound and a half, minimum.

Most of that was noodles, with a good helping of

chicken, some eggs, a few bean sprouts, peanut crumbles and a scallion or three. It looked rather monochromatic, and tasted much the same: a very simple, bland Phad Thai. As much of it still sits in the refrigerator, it feels like enough for at least three meals. Were there a college in Long Beach, it’d make perfect dorm room chow.

The rest of us, though, would be better served by the curries, whose taste, variety, complexity and look will be surer to please.

And really, that’s about all I can tell you about Malai Thai without procuring a translator. Well, OK, I can take a few shots in the dark: I recon the place is new. A scant presence online, including recent inclusion by the aggregators seems to suggest as much. It seems to be a family business — I witnessed what looked like three generations at work (or being babysat). A member of what appeared the middle generation helped run our food (which appeared promptly), but spoke no better English than the host. Despite the language barrier, graciousness prevailed. And to that end: Intent goes a long way.

I suppose the same goes for the perspective diner: If you’re looking to be taken on a hand-held tour of Thai food or need to make a complicated order, Malai Thai might not be the place. But if you’re willing to take a chance on discovering something delicious — as I did with the Duck Curry — then dive right in.

This summer and fall the band will embark on a national tour to spread the gospel of Frankie Boots and the County Line and look forward to making both new friends and fans.

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 fast-expanding 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.

This event is free and open to the public.

The “Oregon Transformed” series considers long-term impacts of World War II in local regions around the state within broad thematic frameworks. Presenters in Cannon Beach will address the theme of “consent and dissent” by discussing subjects, including “conscientious objectors” who lived and worked on the coast during the war; the attack on Fort Stevens and its treatment by policymakers and the media; and the work of tribes during the war and their termination in the post-war period.

Panelists will offer carefully prepared presentations, leaving plenty of time for audience questions and discussions.

This program is presented in association with the Oregon Historical Society’s exhibit “WWII: A World at War, A State Transformed” and the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum’s exhibit “WWII on the Oregon Coast” which celebrates the 70th anniversary of the end of war by exploring the events and emotions of a state at war.

Gifford is a historian of modern American politics with a special interest in the dynamics of

Oregon’s political landscape.

McQuiddy is the author of “Here on the Edge,” the story of how a small group of World War II conscientious objectors plowed the ground for the social and cultural revolutions of the 1960s. McQuiddy writes and lectures on the eccentric margins RI 3DFL¿F 1RUWKZHVW KLVWRU\ Lewis is an independent educator, author and anthropology researcher who lives in Salem in the homeland of his people, the Santiam Kalapuya.

In this whodunit, ‘It Could Be Anyone of Us’ Coaster Theatre opens summer British murder mystery play CANNON BEACH — The Coaster Theatre opens a British caper play Friday, June 12 for a summer run through Sept. 5. “It Could Be Any One Of 8V´ LV D SOD\ E\ $ODQ $\FNbourn. In a windswept country house, a family of artistic failures wrangles over a will: a detective who has never solved a case; a writer whose works have never been published, an artist who’s never shown a painting and a composer whose compositions have never been performed, and a dysfunctional teenager.

Here are the prime ingredients for a murder mystery, but the victim is not who it should be; the murder’s identity changes overnight. Throw in some tongue-in-cheek humor for some comedic thrills.

Stewart Martin plays the character Mortimer Chalke.

Being an older brother and a musical fellow, Martin appreciates Mortimer’s responsibilities, dilemmas and proclivities. While social constructs prevent most of us from really “acting out� in life, on stage, the sky can be the limit: A person can be syrupy sweet, a royal pain, intimidating, talented and threatening or boisterously brilliant. Martin has performed in shows at the Coaster Theatre such as “A Christmas Carol,� “She Loves Me,� “Fiddler on the Roof,� “Deathtrap,� “Scrooge� and “Arsenic and Old Lace.� He has tripped through several in Tillamook, many in Nehalem, and even traipsed out to Forest Grove for “Young Frankenstein the Musical.�

Ann Bronson plays Jocelyn Polegate. Bronson’s Coaster Theatre career started with “The Music Man� in the summer of 2000. Most recently, she was seen as the suicidal Jessie in “‘night Mother,� the Witch in last summer’s production of “Into the Woods,� and in the 2013 holiday musical of Irving Berlin’s “White Christmas.� She hasn’t been in a whodunit since appearing

lio in “Twelfth Night,� Elyot Chase in “Private Lives,� Ebeneezer Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol,� Sidney Bruhl in “Deathtrap� and Philip Lombard in “Ten Little Indians.�

Ellen Jensen plays Wendy June 12 to Sept. 5 Windwood. This show marks Coaster Theatre Jensen’s 12th show at the Coaster Theatre.. She spends 108 N. Hemlock St., Cannon Beach her days with textbooks or 503-436-1242 espresso machines, and her $15 or $20 nights at the theater and/or with the amazing psychos she is blessed to call her friends.

The Yucca

By RYAN HUME Mary Todd’s Workers Bar & Grill likes to wear its eccentricities proudly. From the oyster-shell ashtrays on the back patio to the numerous brassieres hanging from the ceiling fans inside, this is a place that revels in a good time.

The Yucca, its signature cocktail, is no exception. Bold and stiff, this punch is said to have originated out of the river rafting community, where it was mixed up in large gallon-sized jars for an allday sip and drift. Word has it this arrived at Mary Todd’s by way of Prineville, Oregon and a bartender named Cama.

Really, a Yucca can be anything as long as it preserves these basic tenets: booze, fruit, sugar and ice shaken till the glass ices over.

At Mary Todd’s, they wrap a pint jar in a towel and really give it what for. It takes a bit of work, all that shaking, but a perfectly frozen glass filled with a delicious, boozy lemonade is certain to cure many ills on a hot summer day.

Ingredients: 3 ounces vodka (double shot) One lemon, quartered Simple syrup Ice

Cathlamet >N ș l m ܼt@ also, Kathlamet noun 1. Kathlamet: a Chinookian tribe that lived on the Columbia River in Oregon and southwestern Washington. Also, the language the tribe spoke, a dialect of Chinook 2. Located on the north bank of the Columbia River opposite Puget Island along the Ocean Beach Highway in southwestern Washington, this town of 532 — according to the 2010 U.S. census — is the county seat of Wahkiakum County Origin: A large Indian village for many generations. First marked on a map as “Cathlamah” by Lewis and Clark in 1805-1806; this is generally thought to be a misspelling on the part of the explorers of the Indian word, calamet, meaning “stone” as a nearby river has a bed

littered with rock. Other variations followed, including “Kahelamit”

by Dr. W. F. Tolmie of the Hudson’s Bay Company in 1833. When the area was first settled by whites in 1846 by James Birnie, also of the Hudson’s Bay Company, the area became known as “Birnie’s Retreat” for a spell before being designated as Cathlamet, with this official spelling, in August 1851 when a U.S. Post Office was established.

“Cathlamet on the Columbia was, from time immemorial, the center of the Indian people on the Lower River…. Chinook was only a mud beach, a mere fishing station, but Cathlamet was an Indian town before Gray sailed into the River or Lewis and Clark passed by on their way to the sea.”

—Thomas N. Strong, “Indians of the Lower Columbia,”The Sunday Oregonian, Nov. 10, 1901, P. 1 “My father, James Birnie, came from Aberdeen, Scotland, to Montreal in 1816, and there spent two years acquiring the French language and making preparations for the journey West in the service of the Northwest Fur Company, whose headquarters were at Montreal…. In 1844, or perhaps earlier, he sent a force of men to clear the land and erect the necessary buildings at the ‘Retreat,’ as the present Cathlamet was then known, and in the following year he moved there, taking among other things a band of Spanish cattle which he had pasturing on Clatsop Plains; the herd and its descendants remaining for many years.”

—K. D. Birnie, “Cathlamet’s Early Days,” The Morning Oregonian, Monday, Dec. 30, 1901, P. 8

Directions: Add vodka to a 16-ounce Mason jar with a lid. Squeeze three of the lemon quarters into the jar and then add the remaining lemon quarter whole. Top off the jar with ice, then finish it off with the simple syrup. Close the lid tightly and wrap securely in a kitchen or bar towel and shake.

Keep shaking.

Then shake it some more.

All in all, you will probably want to shake it for a good five minutes. When the ice has completely frosted the jar, enjoy.
