Tolovana Arts Colony to hold storytelling workshop CANNON BEACH — Gideon For-mukwai’s story begins in the central African nation of Cameroon. “I got my first pair of shoes at age 10,” says For-mukwai. “It was almost like a right of passage, to have a pair of shoes.” After college, those feet would take For-mukwai all over the world. “There was a nomadic streak in me that pushed me to explore,” For-mukwai says. “I had this understanding that the way Cameroon was working, geopolitically, was not for me. I was so restless.” After college in Cameroon, For-mukwai worked

coast

as a journalist in South Africa. But his desire to explore remained unquenched. He went to Singapore, Hong Kong and, working as a speaker and business consultant, began making inroads to the West. Last fall he moved to Gearhart with his wife. From these worldly journeys, For-mukwai will share a selection of personal stories in a workshop Saturday, June 25 at Tolovana Hall in Cannon Beach. The event will be twofold: After the storytelling portion, For-mukwai will deconstruct those tales into their component parts, exploring what makes a fasci-

nating and indelible story. To do so, he will draw from his studies as a business consultant. His book “Story Warrior” looks at the science of storytelling as well as how to relate, how to be memorable, and more. “A good story must have conflict,” For-mukwai says. “A good story must have a good guy in pursuit

“Instead of saying: ‘I had a drink,’ I should say: ‘I had an unsweetened black tea.’ That brings you there.” Besides “Story Warrior,” For-mukwai is the author of “Facing Adversity with Audacity,” a memoir of his growing up and leaving Africa. Some of those tales will be recounted here. For-mukwai is calling Saturday’s collection “From Dust to Snow.” “I grew up in a dusty area,” For-mukwai says. “Now I live in a place where there is snow.” Tickets to the one-anda-half hour workshop, which begins at 11 a.m.

Dressing for the Coaster Theatre stage Velcro is the best friend of costume designer Judith Light By NANCY MCCARTHY FOR COAST WEEKEND

ostumes for the summer plays hang in the Coaster Theatre’s two small dressing rooms: brightly colored blazers, a beautiful black beaded gown, a green dress with flamboyant shoulders and tony tuxedos. Even though “9 to 5: The Musical” opened last weekend and “Let’s Murder Marsha,” opens this Friday, Judith Light, the theater’s costume designer, still tweaks the costumes. A button may be loose, a thread may be unraveling or a necklace may not be quite right. Velcro — for quick costume changes — and a seam ripper — to make costumes fit right — are her best friends. “When I can stand back and say, ‘I’ve got where I was headed, it’s what I wanted,’ it’s good. It’s good,” Light said. The former owner of a belly dancing studio in northern California who moved to Cannon Beach late last year, Light has been designing costumes for many years — mostly as a hobby for herself and family members. She also sewed costumes for her studio dancers and helped out at the Woodminster Summer Musicals in Oakland. Light came to the Coaster after seeing an ad for a costume designer. Her first play was last December’s “Once Upon a Mattress,” which required

In “9 to 5: The Musical,” Cindy Karr, Jean Rice and Allison Johnson decide to teach their egotistical boss, played by Aaron Harris, a lesson.

An orange kimono, sewn by Judith Light, “just because I wanted to” appeared in “Once Upon a Mattress” at the Coaster Theatre. The rich fabric is an example of the brocades and other materials — including upholstery — used by Light, who calls herself a “fabric-aholic.”

The over-the-top costumes in “Let’s Murder Marsha,” worn here by Sue Meyers, Ellen Jensen and Frank Jagodnik, recall the 1980s soap opera “Dynasty.”

A rainbow of threads stand ready to be selected for the next costume created by Judith Light.

costumes for 25 actors of all shapes and sizes. The outfits ranged from long satin dresses for the ladies in waiting (“I decided I wanted them in the colors of ice cream sherbet,” Light said.) to a red velvet

gown trimmed in white faux fur for the Queen. “I’m a fabric-aholic,” Light said. Since “Once Upon a Mattress,” Light has decked out actors in three other plays, in addition

to the two summer plays. Before she starts looking for fabric or checking out discount stores and websites for costumes, she draws renderings for all of the characters and discusses them with the play’s

director. Ryan Hull, for instance, who directed “Let’s Murder Marsha,” wanted costumes for an affluent family in the 1980s. The comedy about murder, double crosses and

birthday surprises takes the costumes over the top, which Light enjoys. “She approached me before the auditions and asked me what I thought

Head pieces worn by the handmaidens in “The Apple Tree” are collected in the sewing room at Judith Light’s house. Light used some of her own wardrobe for costumes in previous plays, as well as in the Coaster Theatre’s summer plays, “Let’s Murder Marsha” and “9 to 5: The Musical.”

Working on a tight budget, Coaster Theatre costume designer Judith Light often heads to Goodwill to find clothes. On a recent visit, she found this blazer, worn by actor Jean Rice, who plays Violet Newstead, in “9 to 5: The Musical” at the theater this summer.

Continued from Pg. 4 the look (of the play) might be,” Hull recalled. “It was nice to have this teamwork. I could see the light bulbs going on in her head. “It’s set on the whole ‘Dynasty’ thing — dresses that Joan Collins would wear and the hair style of Linda Evans,” said Hull. Collins wore big shoulder pads and Evans favored “big” hair in the television

In “Let’s Murder Marsha,” in contrast to her rich bosses, the maid Bianca, played by Ann Bronson, center, is dressed like Alice from “The Brady Bunch,” a deliberate costume choice.

‘SHE REALLY FOCUSES ON MAKING YOU LOOK GOOD UP THERE.’ soap opera. “I had a very specific thing for Bianca (the maid); I wanted her dressed like Alice from ‘The Brady Bunch.’ Judith went right with it,” Hull said. “It’s a treat to work with her; she’s a pro.” Lisa Fergus, director of the 1970s office romp “9 to 5,” called Light’s

costumes “fabulous.” “I just put complete trust in Judith to create the costumes needed to represent the era. She lived in it, I didn’t,” Fergus said. As an actor, Fergus also wore several of Light’s costumes in the leading role of “The Apple Tree,” produced earlier this year. “She really focuses on

making you look good up there,” Fergus said. “If you’re uncomfortable or don’t feel right, she makes adjustments.” Light’s small sewing room in her Cannon Beach house is filled with mementos from recent plays: hairpieces for the medieval handmaidens in “The Apple Tree,” a beaded collar piece from a gown worn in “The Four Poster” and a rich orange brocade kimono Light made for herself “just because I wanted to” that acted as a prop in “Once Upon a Mattress.” She learned to love her craft from her mother, whom she called a “great seamstress.” “She taught me a lot about fabrics and sewing,” she said. Spools of thread in rainbow colors sit next to Light’s sewing machine, which has pieced together costumes for many years. Light has tried sewing “everyday” clothes for herself, “but they never seem to come out the way I want to,” she said. The costumes, Light added, help actors “understand the character they’re supposed to play. I’m creating for the character, not for the actors.” When they wear their costumes, “I can see the changes in them,” she said. Cindy Karr, who plays Doralee, the voluptuous Dolly Parton character in “9 to 5,” usually wears work pants while doing her day job at the Coaster, gathering or making props for the plays, selling tickets in the box office or baking her popular cookies on performance nights. But when she dons the dresses with the plunging necklines that Light has gathered for “9 to 5,” Karr said she feels “so feminine.” “The minute I put them on, I feel girlie,” Karr said.

Diversity Dialogues series to discuss transphobia, misogyny on June 24

Blues guitarist to perform in Long Beach

ASTORIA — The Lower Columbia Diversity Project and Astor Library Friends Association present Diversity Dialogues, a series of discussions and presentations focusing on topics related to diversity The ¿rst event in the series is “Misogyny and Transphobia,” a community conversation facilitated by Drew Herzig of the Lower Columbia Diversity Project. The event will take place at 6 p.m. Friday, June 24 at the Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th St. Admission is free. Transgender issues have been in the news lately. The civil rights of the transgender community are being af¿rmed, but the backlash has been intense. What’s going on? How does the controversy about transgender rights, especially the rights of transgender women, reÀect our society’s view of women in general? How is our cultural misogyny shaping the conversation? What do terms such as gender identity and gender expression mean? And what’s the big deal about bathrooms?

LONG BEACH, WASH. — Oregon blues guitarist and songwriter David Jacobs-Strain will perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 25 at the Peninsula Arts Center. A ¿erce slide guitar player, Jacobs-Strain is known for his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon; his live show moves from humorous, subversive blues, to delicate balladry, and then swings back to swampy rock ’n’ roll. It’s a range that ties Jacobs-Strain to his own generation and to guitar-slingers like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne. “I try to make art that you can dance to, but I love that darker place, where in my mind Skip James, Nick Drake, and maybe Elliot Smith blur together,” Jacobs-Strain said. Jacobs-Strain began playing on street corners and at farmers markets as a teenager and bought his ¿rst steel guitar with the quarters he

Questions such as these will be the focus of the June 24 event. The mission of the Lower Columbia Diversity Project is to engage proactively with diversity issues in the region, educate the community on the bene¿ts of diversity, tolerance and inclusion, and provide a forum through which individuals, groups and organizations may address concerns relating to diversity in the community. The Astoria Public Library, a department of the City of Astoria, is guided by the mission statement, “Explore ideas, engage minds, excite imagination.” For more information, contact library staff at 503-3257323 or visit astorialibrary. org

saved up. Before he dropped out of Stanford to play full time, he had already appeared at festivals across the country, often billed as a blues prodigy, but he had to ¿ght to avoid being a novelty act: “I wanted to tell new stories; it just wasn’t enough to relive the feelings in other people’s music,” he said. Jacobs-Strain has appeared at festivals from British Columbia to Australia, including Merlefest, Telluride Blues Festival, Philadelphia Folk Festival, Bumbershoot, and Blues to

Bop in Switzerland. He’s taught at Jorma Kaukonen’s Fur Peace Ranch, and at 15 years old was on the faculty at Centrum’s Blues and Heritage workshop. On the road, he’s shared the stage with Lucinda Williams, Boz Scaggs, Etta James, The Doobie Brothers, George Thorogood, Robert Earle Keen, Todd Snider, Tommy Emmanuel, T-Bone Burnett and Del McCoury. His 2013 album, “Geneseo,” speaks of open roads, longing hearts and Àashbacks of Oregon — a record

of emotions big and small, and lyrics that turn quickly from literal to ¿gurative. “I’m fascinated by the way that rural blues inscribes movement and transience,” Jacobs-Strain said. “The music that frees a singer keeps them on the run; there’s a crossroads where a thing can be enchanting but dangerous; damaging but beautiful.” On “Geneseo,” old sounds become new, the blues takes an unexpected turn, and Jacobs-Strain moves further into his own territory. The record was funded by fans; over 200 people pitched in on Kickstarter to pay for the album’s mixing and promotion. The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Paci¿c Ave. N. Admission is $12 at the door or online through Brown Paper Tickets, or call Bill at 360-9010962. Wine, beer, and other refreshments are available for purchase.

Soprano Angela Meade invites opera novices to sample â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Il Trovatoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Astoria Music Festival midpoint features voices, piano and strings By PATRICK WEBB FOR COAST WEEKEND

The Astoria Music Festival moves into its second weekend with the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hottest soprano returning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; scheduling her North Coast appearance between opera performances in Berlin, Paris and Moscow. Angela Meade will sing Leonora in Verdiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Il Trovatore,â&#x20AC;? Sunday, June 26, the role she sang in her debut at the festival in 2011. She has just completed ÂżYH SHUIRUPDQFHV RI WKH work at the Berlin Opera after enjoying sparkling reviews as Leonora at the New York Metropolitan Opera. A bonus for Astoria audiences will be fellow New York professionals joining her on stage at the Liberty Theater. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m especially excited this year because I have brought a cast of my friends and colleagues who are all Met singers with me to perform â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Il Trovatore,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; which is one of my favorite operas,â&#x20AC;? said Meade. While pleased that opera lovers will be buying tickets, Meade invites newcomers to the art form to enjoy the show. â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Trovatoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a perfect opera for someone looking to try opera out, because there are so many hummable tunes, as well as lots of visceral singing.â&#x20AC;? The concert performance will be sung in Italian with English titles. Keith Clark, artistic director of the festival, is de-

lighted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are all honored that she interrupts one of the biggest international careers to come here,â&#x20AC;? he said. Years ago, he and Ruth Dobson, fellow founder of the Astoria festival, brought Meade to the Portland SummerFest Opera in the Park where she sang for an audience of 5,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She came to us as a young person and we hit it off immediately as colleagues, so we have sought out opportunities to perform together,â&#x20AC;? Clark said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She fell in love with what we are trying to do, and she has set aside time,â&#x20AC;? added Clark, noting they are talking about further collaborations two to three years from now. Meadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s often-told story began in Centralia, Washington, where she attended high school and began singing seriously at community colOHJH WKHQ DWWHQGHG 3DFLÂżF Lutheran University in Tacoma, Washington. Advanced studies in California and Philadelphia, plus success in 50 musical competitions, propelled her to a professional career. Olivia Tsui, the California-based violinist and conductor, recalls working at a contest in Los Angeles about 10 years ago and hearing Meadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soprano. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That young lady came in, opened her mouth and I was amazed,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What a voice! It was the only time I said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Guys, this is the one to watch.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; It is the only time I have said that about anybody.â&#x20AC;?

Despite a world-traveling lifestyle, performing, giving interviews and appearing on magazine covers, Meade is happy to keep Astoria on her schedule as a way of giving back to her home region. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I always love coming back to the Northwest to bring a bit of the world of grand opera and classical music to those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t necessarily get to go to the Metropolitan Opera or the other great opera houses of the world,â&#x20AC;? she said.

y childhood was long ago and quite different from those of today. My friends and I played sports, but not in leagues, and we also did safe, constructive things. Like teasing a neighbor’s bull or making our own ¿reworks. Okay, maybe it’s a miracle we survived, and perhaps it’s a good thing that times have changed, but do children today have to lead the phone-dominated, busy and exhaustively organized lives that seem to be the norm? The kid I hang out with now is my 3-year-old grandson, Eli, and with him I like to do the things I did as a boy. The less dangerous activities, that is. Eli consulted on this article, and here are some of the things we like to do best. Note that all of them involve little or no money or organization and do not require cell phones. Beaches always rate high on Coast Weekend’s annual Readers’ Choice Awards contest and with good reason. Who doesn’t like a beach? There are things to collect, places to dig or to make castles, games to play, driftwood forts to build, and picnics to be consumed. And Eli’s best canine friend, Mojo, is welcome. We have our favorites — Hug Point, Short Sand and Gearhart’s Little Beach — but if there’s sand, water and sun you can hardly go wrong. A big part of the fun at Short Sand, located in Oswald West State Park, is the half-mile trail from parking lot to beach. Our other regional parks have a lot to offer as well. Fort Stevens State Park has Battery Russell, the Peter Iredale shipwreck and the only Civil War-era earthen fort on the West Coast. There is something for everyone: various military re-enactments, a military museum, lots of trails for hiking and biking, and beaches for birding and whale watching. The Columbia-Paci¿c region has two other forts that are well worth visiting. There is Fort Columbia, less than a mile north of the Astoria Bridge on U.S. Highway 101, and perhaps the area’s

It had a little of everything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; salty, sweet, bitter, fatty â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as well as a perfectly crisp, thin crust. The Smoked Tri-Tip $1 .99 Ă&#x20AC;atbread, I thought, couldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used some kind of sauce or oil with the bleu cheese spread. As is, it was a little dry.

The Sun-Dried Tomato Spinach Dip was comforting, though the flatbread was a tad overcooked.

Then, of course, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the beer. Unlike many in craft brewingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IPA arms race, Pelicanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s standout is the .iwanda &ream Ale, which manages to somehow be both creamy and light. I tried a tasting tray $ and yet, somehow, was left wanting by lack of variety. Of the seven tasting cups, four contained IPAs and two were ales. The last was a stout, and by simple virtue of comparison the deep, molasses Ă&#x20AC;avor was so welcome. Of the similar IPAs, I preferred the Imperial, which had a bite beÂżtting an 8 percent alcohol content. What the taster tray left out was the Pilsner and Lagers, which wouldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve provided a more complete spectrum of Pelicanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings. Of course, that could be easily remedied. And, indeed, this grand

undertaking is sure to be tweaked in the weeks and months to come. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m giving a pass on service snafus for the moment. Some aspects, though, were set with the foundation. A restaurant this large is only so capable of providing a personalized, intimate or reÂżned experience. But, on the other hand, it brings capacity, and a lively experience â&#x20AC;&#x201D; as I said, at times, you might as well be in Portland. That might come in handy in the dark winter months. As for the food, of the many dishes I tried the majority were wholly adequate, safe and often pointed in the neighborhood of, if not greatness, thoughtfulness. In the end, though, the dishes left more indelible marks on my wallet than my palate. Writing for the New York Times, critic Pete Wells recently encountered an enormous eatery. He wrote of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;pleasures and pitfalls of a big restaurant.â&#x20AC;? The same could be said of Pelican.

Kids: Sign up for free engineering camp Astoria Yacht Club hosts summer events ASTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Do you know a middle school student who likes to cUeate Euild and Âżnd out how things work? The Oregon Coast STEM Hub has partnered with Oregon State University Precollege Programs to offer a Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) camp this summer in four locations on the coast: in Astoria, Newport, Florence and Bandon. The Astoria engineering camp will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 27 and

28 at the Columbia River Maritime Museumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Barbey Maritime Center. The free two-day camp will be led by college students from OSUâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Center for Outreach in Science and Engineering for Youth (COSEY). Students entering seventh, eighth or ninth grade will explore careers in STEM Âżelds through handson activities like building catapults, wave energy devices and solar cars. The camp is an opportuni-

ty for participants to have fun, develop teamwork, communication and leadership skills, and to learn from mentors about what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to go to college. Lunch is included. Space is limited; pre-registration is required. Register online at http://tinyurl.com/ COSEYcamps. Or call 541867-0329. To learn more about the engineering camp, visit oregoncoaststem.oregonstate. edu or email OregonCoast STEM@oregonstate.edu

ASTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This summer, the Astoria Yacht Club is sponsoring a new type of event on the water: a social cruise, known as the Downtown Rally. Any boat is welcome to attend, whether power or sail, member-owned or not. The public is also invited to participate in an evening of cruising, socializing and fun prizes. Skippers are asked to meet at 5:30 p.m. every other Thursday in the

clubroom upstairs in the Chinook Building, located at 340 Industry St., to learn the course and be included in the rally. Boats will leave the dock at 6 p.m., and crews will return to the clubroom by 8:30 p.m. for refreshments and awards. *ift certiÂżcates from Fort George Brewery will be awarded for just about anything except coming in Âżrst. All thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s required is basic liability insurance (all

local marinas require this anyway), U.S. Coast Guard required safety equipment, and an anchor and rode. The Astoria Yacht Club is looking forward to seeing friends in their boats and to treating guests to fun, non-competitive summer evenings on the river, with time to socialize and munchies afterward. The dates of the rallies are: June 23, July 7 and 21, Aug. 4 and 18, and Sept. 1 and 15.

See what the artists see in Cannon Beach Plein Air & More Arts Festival to feature artists working outside CANNON BEACH — Cannon Beach has been named “One of the Most Beautiful Places in the World” by National Geographic. So, it’s not a surprise that this natural beauty has beckoned artists from around the world to capture it “en plein air” or “in the open air.” To celebrate this challenging artistic style, the Cannon Beach Gallery Group is presenting its eighth annual Plein Air & More Arts Festival. Scheduled for Friday to Sunday, June 24 to 26, the event will feature more than 30 artists represented by Cannon Beach’s galleries. Many will be painting. But, as you wander through town and along the beach, you’ll also ¿nd sculptors working in stone — or creating the clay forms that will eventually be cast in bronze — as well as jewelers, ceramic artists (complete with a kiln on the beach), basket weavers and metal workers. The artists can be found near their representing galleries or in one of ¿ve locations: Whale Park, the courtyard between Spruce and Hemlock streets, the Coaster Theatre courtyard, Washington Street at the ocean, and Harrison Street at the ocean. They will also come together for an Artists’ Swarm from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday in the Coaster Theatre courtyard, where views can watch them all work. Leading up to this event at 11:30 a.m. will be a two-hour courtyard concert by the band Boka Marimba in the courtyard. Back by popular demand is the 7:30 p.m. Saturday raku ¿ring on the beach at Whale Park with Dave and Boni Deal. This year it will also include s’mores and live music. New this year is a Cre-

ative Play Space for children, encouraging them to explore their own budding talents. It will be located in the U.S. Bank Parking lot from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday. Also new this year are three workshops for artists, offered June 23 and 24 by three in-

ternationally recognized plein air artists. Registrations are accepted on a ¿rst-come-¿rstserved basis. Mike Rangner will teach a class of 10 about plein air landscape painting, offering a basic introduction on the history of this form of expression while

also discussion composition, line, shape, value and light. All levels are welcome; cost is $200 for two days. To register, visit rangner¿neart.com workshops In his class of 12 students, Anton Pavlenko will focus on how to paint expressive land and seascapes on location with lectures, live demos, critiques and hands-on individual instruction. All levels are welcome; cost is $190 for two days. To register, visit antonpavlenko.com workshops Hazel Schlesinger will offer a beginning and intermediate plein air in oil class for eight students. A challenge for many painters is learning how to edit or simplify the landscape into a few basic shapes and values. Students will learn how to express the essence of a scene by editing the details into simple abstract shapes and will leave with several small studies of the area. All levels are welcome; cost is $185 for two days. To register, visit hazelschlesinger.com workshops Brochures about the art festival will be available at all Cannon Beach Gallery Group locations and the Chamber of Commerce and will be distributed during the day by Portland stilt walker Melissa Rae.

No one has ever ordered a shot of pumpkin pie-flavored vodka in Rod’s Bar & Grill in Warrenton.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE By MATT LOVE

Rod’s Bar & Grill It was a clam tide morning in Warrenton and my associate and I strolled into Rod’s Bar & Grill after building a driftwood fort at Fort Stevens State Park. The joint was packed. In a corner booth, a birthday party unfolded for a 6- or 7-year old girl. I did a double take. I’d never seen a kid’s birthday party in a bar. I dug it. It was just mom, dad, the kid, presents, a stuffed animal, balloons and streamers. There was a big chocolate cake, with candles, too. My associate and I ordered Rainiers in cans. We also ordered a basket of clam strips, and I asked to substitute onion rings for French fires. The female bartender agreed with a smile. A few minutes later, the order materialized with fries and no onion rings. I didn’t say a word. A clam strip basket with fries is a clam strip basket with fries. They have real

problems in Rod’s. I surveyed Rod’s liquor selection. It was somewhat odd, a little lacking in spots, a little all over the place. I dug its asymmetrical mystery. A couple of vodka flavors I’d never seen caught my eye: pumpkin pie, marshmallow and whipped (cream). The bottles had little graphics of pumpkin pie, a marshmallow and whipping cream. My god! I thought to myself. Who orders whipped cream-flavored vodka on the Oregon Coast? I asked the bartender about it. She told me for a spell, whipped was hot stuff, and she couldn’t keep it in stock. Then the fad dried up just as fast. She also told me no one had ever ordered a shot of pumpkin pie. My faith in drinking humanity was partially restored right there. It was time to go. As I

was leaving, a man sitting at the bar turned toward me and made eye contact. He said, “Is your name Tom?” “No.” “You look like someone I used to know, a music producer in L.A.” “That’s not me.” Or maybe it was. Maybe I did have a former life in the industry, scored a hit record with Sniff and the Tears, and hung out with The Bangles. Maybe I was living incognito on the Oregon Coast, surviving on royalties from a forged song credit or two, trying to write my rock ’n’ roll memoir. I liked being mistaken for a record producer from the mid ’80s. I considered showing my appreciation for the compliment by buying him a whipped. But I just couldn’t do it. I liked him.

noun 1. a native Salishan people of the North Oregon Coast or a member of that people 2. the extinct language of the Tillamook people 3. a town and county on the North Oregon Coast. The city, which is the county seat and had a population of 4,935 in the 2010 census, is located near the southeast end of a bay of the same name 4. a popular brand and cheese factory located on U.S. 101 that produces a variety of dairy products, including yogurt and ice cream. More than a million people visit the factory each year 5. Tillamook Head: a high promontory located in Ecola State Park five miles south of Seaside.

The jagged bluff, which rises more than a 1,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean, is part of the Oregon Coast Trail and is also notable as Lewis and Clark crossed it in 1806 to buy the blubber of a beached whale from natives, which is how the park got its name 6. Tillamook Rock: the larger of two basalt sea rocks lodged in the Pacific Ocean and visible from Tillamook Head. Tillamook Rock is famous for housing a lighthouse that was operational between 18811957. For many decades the lighthouse acted as a columbarium, a resting place to intern crematory remains, before its license was revoked in 1999

time that the county was created. Tillamook Head also takes its name from William Clark’s journal as he recorded his legendary crossing of the headland to trade with the people living on the coast south of the rise in what is now Cannon Beach. The Clatsop Indian word for Tillamook Head was Nahse-u’-su.

Origin: From the Salish language. First recorded in William Clark’s journal in 1806 as both Killamook and Kilamox, other variations of the name have been recorded as Killamoux, Callemeux and Killimous among many others. The ‘T’ in Tillamook does not enter into the picture until the 1850s, around the

—“Summer Resorts Along Oregon Coast Draw Vacation Throngs,” The Morning Oregonian, Saturday, Feb. 4, 1911, P. 3

“Seaside and Gearhart lie on a beautiful stretch of beach which is broken on the south by Tillamook Head, a wooded cape that juts abruptly into the ocean. The walk from Seaside to the point of Tillamook Head is one of the popular Clatsop Beach excursions. Those who make it are repaid by a close view of one of the most remarkable lighthouses on the American coast.”

“Near Seaside, another large landslide brought down several more trees and cut more than 50 feet out of the Tillamook Head trail, leaving hikers to make their own route around the destruction.” —Edward Stratton, “Triage on Tillamook Head,” The Daily Astorian, June 3, 2016
