New in town
101 was originally built for the Clamshell Railroad. The photos of its construction and changes over time from rail to highway are amazing to see at the exhibit.
Railroad exhibit has much to teach
When the railroad was abandoned in 1930, the passenger coaches were sold off as summer cottages on the peninsula. Can you imagine living inside an old railway coach? One of these coaches, the Nahcotta, was rescued in the 1960s, refurbished and given to the museum in 2003 – you can see it up close next to the museum year-round. Another effect of the Clamshell Railroad: The old train depots moved on to serve new purposes. The one in Seaview became the famed Depot restaurant. The next time you enjoy a great meal there, know that the venue has an old living memory.

Delving into the history of your surroundings – learning how the land has changed, of people who have come before, of structures that have risen and fallen – can teach you a lot and give you perspective on your own life. I’m continually amazed by the scope and richness of history in the Columbia-Pacific region. And what better place to learn this history than at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Wash. Last weekend the museum opened a new exhibit, “From the Water to the Woods: 125 years of Rail,” which will remain on display until September. At a time before personal automobiles, people traveled via mass transit, whether that was steamships or trains. The extent of rail use on display in the exhibit – cranberry bogs, the jetties, Sand Island, logging – goes to show just how important railroads were at the turn of the century. There were so many different kinds of engines, coaches and rail systems – a technology once popular that you don’t see much of today. Then there was the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Com-
pany’s “Clamshell Railroad,” which ran along the Long Beach Peninsula from Ilwaco to Nahcotta (1889 – 1908) and later from Megler to Nahcotta (1908 – 1930). At a time when railroads in the eastern U.S. contributed to standardized time zones, it’s funny to think that the Clamshell Railroad kept an irregular schedule. It ran according to the tides, picking up travelers from steamships, especially fathers who worked in the city during the week and joined their vacationing families on the weekends, riding “Daddy” ships
and trains, as they were known at the time. I love to think about the people who road the trains. There were long-serving, “favorite” conductors. In its heyday in 1913, the Clamshell Railroad could carry 618 passengers. One woman even road the first train in 1889 and the last farewell train in 1930. What was it like to see something so important and popular come and go? Another thing I love is seeing this history’s effects today. The tunnel just east of Chinook, Wash., on U.S. Highway

What’s going on in that purple building? Lanny Shuler, owner of Shuler Surfboards, rides the waves of creativity in business and in life
I
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve driven by that purple building just south of Seaside. The sign by the side of U.S. Highway 101 says “Shuler,” and the windows are lined with surfboards. I always wonder, “A surfboard factory in Seaside?” My curiosity finally got the best of me, and I stopped by. What I found surprised me. Yes, there are surfboards being made here – custom-made, state-of-the-art boards – but there’s a lot more going on. There’s an artist, a materials consultant to Corning and Dow, a creativity consultant to Nike, a Transcendental Meditation (TM) instructor. From the outside, the building doesn’t seem large enough to house all those people, and it couldn’t if not for the fact that all those people are one: Lanny Shuler, who has been doing all those things on the North Coast since relocating here in 1983. Shuler grew up in West Long Beach and Huntington Beach, Calif., where he learned to surf at the age of 7 and built his first surfboard 10 years later. “We were water kids,” he says of his childhood friends, “so surfing was a natural thing to pursue, and I was never attracted to organized sports. It was easier to just go surfing, to have fun even if I wasn’t with friends.” Surfing was, at the time, an outsider sport. “This was before the Beach Boys,” he says, “and before ‘Gidget,’” the first surfing movie, made in 1959. “That was the beginning of cultural awareness of surfing,” he continues, “but I was never interested in surfing culture.” As a young man in 1972, Shuler moved to Astoria to help his father, Don, build a commercial fishing boat, eventually moving back to southern California to make and lose a fortune in real estate. He studied art and architecture in school and began to practice TM, a mantra-based meditation technique that is practiced twice daily for 15 to 20

minutes. Through TM, Shuler found an inner peace and wakefulness, and he left formal education to study under TM founder Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, eventually becoming a certified TM teacher. In 1983, having discovered that “a simpler life was more to my liking,” he returned to Oregon, just in time to catch the wave of windsurfing tourism in the Columbia Gorge. In addition to his surfboard business in Seaside, Shuler opened Shuler Sailboards in the Gorge and discovered that building both sailboards and surfboards gave him a more diverse outlet for innovation and creativity, as he constantly modified and reinvented his cutting edge board designs. Shuler’s innovations with resins, fiberglass and foam led to consultancy work with Dow Chemical and Owens Corning. Word of Shuler’s creativity also got around to Nike’s product development
‘We were water kids,’ he says of his childhood friends, ‘so surfing was a natural thing to pursue, and I was never attracted to organized sports. It was easier to just go surfing, to have fun even if I wasn’t with friends.’ team, called the “Innovation Kitchen,” prompting their visit to the purple building for inspiration on long-term maintainance of creativity. Shuler credits TM for his daily charge of inspiration and enthusiasm in new ideas, and his capacity to incorporate them into his career. Since that first meeting he has been invited to the Nike Campus to bolster employee creativity through lectures and TM lessons. Shuler stresses that “It is a challenge for everyone to have many dimensions and diversities to in-

tegrate into one’s life, many demands into one combined fulfilling experience.” The latest aspect of Shuler’s diversity is his return to art. “My art interests have often fallen aside to other priorities,” says Shuler. “Regardless, whenever I applied artwork on my surfboards, people would take notice.” As an art student Shuler was uninspired painting on flat surfaces, but his enthusiasm returned when he began painting the sculptural form of his surfboards. “I found inseparability between my color interests and the three dimensionality of the surfboards I was painting on. Without my intending it, my art had become more challenging and engaging.” Shuler’s “relationship with the aesthetic of the three dimensional form” also resulted in his art becoming more abstract. “It’s much less calculated and more intuitive, and there is a more intimate relationship with the creative silence of my daily meditation, with inner restful alertness and more abstract consciousness.” Shuler is now working on a gallery show of paintings on what he calls “nonfunctional painted sculptures that can’t be surfed on.” He explains, “My surfboards have always been painted sculptures, but because they were functional, their value was mostly perceived in the terms of sporting equipment rather than higher valued art. That’s changing now.” Which is not to say that he is abandoning functional surfboards. In fact, he is introducing an entirely new type of board designed to allow novices and experienced surfers alike to more easily develop their surfing skills and have more fun surfing in a variety of conditions. The new boards and Shuler’s art will soon make an appearance on a redesigned website, www.shulersurfboards.com, and stay tuned for the next dimension of Lanny Shuler’s multifaceted life.

Over the years, Lanny Shuler has worked with suppliers to develop paints unique to his surfboards.

The Cape Disappointment Lighthouse had served the function from 1856; however, ships continued to run aground at the confluence of the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean, in the area that came to be known as the “Graveyard of the Pacific.” Due to the number of shipwrecks, it was determined that a second lighthouse was needed on the northwestern spur of Cape Disappointment, commonly referred to as North Head. With all of the original buildings of the station still standing, the North Head Lighthouse remains the most intact lighthouse reservation in the Pacific Northwest.

The art of
printmaking
Printmaker’s collective strives for understanding with new art exhibit June 13 at CCC Art Gallery
P
Printmaking is a loose term that covers many vastly different methods of putting ink on paper that understanding them all can be a daunting task for the artist, let alone the average art enthusiast. Where drawing and painting are fairly specific in their meaning, a print can be a one-of-a-kind work of art, or it can be a small or large print run: 10 copies or more than a hundred. It can be printed from wood blocks, off steel plates, through a thin mesh screen, or any number of other methods. That immense variety has created a lack of understanding about printmaking and has kept the medium from taking its proper place in the pantheon of fine art. Luckily, the North Coast Printmakers Collective is planning to end that confusion starting Thursday, June 13, in a month-long exhibit at the Clatsop Community College Art Gallery. The collective is a loose-knit group of about 15 artists, born from a printmaking class offered at CCC by revered local creative Royal Nebeker. The collective began in 2010 as a dedicated group of artists determined to make beautiful prints in a variety of manners, to learn from and teach each other, and educate the public at large about the value and beauty of printmaking in all of its various forms. “The biggest misconception centers around the word ‘print’ itself,” says Kirsten Horning, the current president of the group. “Most people think that a print is somehow a reproduction. To clarify, some printmakers call their work ‘fine art prints,’ indicating that the artist actually is involved in creating the print matrix.”
Horning will be exhibiting several woodblocks in the show. Other participants include Marie Powell, Vicki Baker, Reed Clarke, Janet Wade and many more talented printmakers from Pacific and Clatsop counties. In addition to the usual pomp and circumstance expected at any opening reception, this one will also offer demonstrations explaining the fundamentals of the printmaking methods on display. “Each artist brings their unique approach and subject to their work,” explains collective member Penny Treat, whose monoprint “Rare Dogwood” will be exhibited along with several of her woodcuts. “This is an opportunity to show the public and the art community that printmakers are talented and committed artists.” Though we live in a growing world of digital printing, Treat maintains that traditional printmaking and its resulting artwork will last. “The demand for handmade work will become more valuable,” she says. As the paper world slowly disappears, fine art on paper will become even more rare.” The exhibit opens with a reception 6 p.m. Thursday, June 13 and will run through July 11. The CCC Art Gallery is located on the school’s campus at 1799 Lexington Ave. in Astoria. The Art Gallery is free and open to the public, with regular hours 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. Works on display will include etchings, monoprints, woodcuts, linocuts and a variety of mixed media prints. All the works will be available for sale.
Printmaking Methods Cheat Sheet: Monoprint or Monotype A printing technique in which a flat surface of copper, zinc or glass is painted with oil colors or ink and passed through a press. The result is a single print being produced, thus “monotype.” Woodcut or woodblock A piece of wood is carved away. The carved areas are the white space and what remains is inked, becoming the print. It is the oldest known type of printing, originating in China.
Linocut or linoblock The same basic concept as a woodblock. Linocuts are often used for “reduction printing,” in which the printed space continues to be taken away and printed in different colors. When finished, more prints cannot be made, as the block has been reduced, and the previous images are carved away. Etching Dating from around 1500, one of the “intaglio” family of printmaking
techniques. This method uses a metal plate, which is carved in with a special tool. Ink fills just the carved lines and is printed in a high-pressure press. It can make hundreds of prints. Screen Printing One of the most popular forms of printmaking today, ink is pushed through a thin mesh screen, against a stencil for negative space and onto paper or another medium. Print runs can go from just a few to thousands of prints.

2nd Saturday
ART WALK
June
8
5 to 9 p.m.
ASTORIA — Downtown merchants and galleries will hold Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, June 8. The art walk is open one hour later than normal in honor of Goonies Day festivities. Meet artists and mingle with fellow art lovers while enjoying refreshments and new exhibits. Walk around historic downtown Astoria and look for the colorful pinwheels.
ART BUSINESSES Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Join Imogen Gallery s in welcoming artist Kim Hamblin and a new series of paper cut assemblages in “Above and Below.” Hamblin gains inspiration for imagery from her lifelong love of the sciences, particularly anatomy, botany, biology, entomology and zoology. The focal point of her work is not only use of imagery, but the delicateness of pattern revealed in each paper cut. Hamblin’s process goes beyond traditional paper-cut assemblage by adding painted surface and nails to further enhance pattern and texture, adding an industrial nature. The juxtaposition between paper and steel make for a striking finished composition. Within this series, Hamblin explores both seascape and landscape. The exhibition will be on display through July 9. Old Town Framing 1287 Commercial St. Rene Donnelly is a freelance photographer who lives in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle. She started capturing the world around her first with a video camera, shooting conceptually ambitious music videos for heavyweights in Seattle’s electronic music scene, then, along with her brother, went on to produce short films. After the completion of their most recent project, Donnelly realized her passion was simply in the capture of images, so she sold her filmmaking equipment and purchased a DSLR camera. Without the weight of crews or
cast to bog down her creativity, she shoots anything and everything that catches her eye, from stoic sculpture to intricate machinery to the crashing seas of the beautiful Pacific Ocean. She hopes her work catches your eye, too. Tempo Gallery at AMF 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery’s featured artist for the June art walk, Vicki Baker, has just returned from Florida and will be showing some of her new colorful acrylic paintings. Baker, a long time resident of Astoria who winters in Florida on a houseboat, paints landscapes and figurative art with a bold, impressionistic style. Stop by Tempo Gallery, a collective of 10 artists, on Saturday, June 8, to see Baker’s new paintings and the creative works by the other gallery members. Listen to music by flautist Lauren Brady. Refreshments will be provided. Fernhill Glass Studio 1450 Exchange St. Fernhill Glass would like to head into summer with sunglasses on – so come join Fernhill during the art walk. Artists will demonstrate glass blowing from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Snacks will be served. Egg Paperweight Classes by appointment are $65, and Blow Your Own Ornament classes are $40 – walkins are welcome. Studio Time is $30 per hour with a four hour minimum. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. RiverSea Gallery presents new paintings by local artist Jill McVarish and glass sculpture by Laurel Marie Hagner of Hood River in two separate
exhibitions. In “Dissonance and Harmony,” an exhibition of paintings inspired by music and fighting, McVarish plays with time and place as she renders icons of 20th-century culture in the style of 17th-century Dutch masters. Hagner brings her signature glass sculpture to the gallery’s Alcove in “Woven Light.” This award-winning sculptor is explores her relationship with glass, gravity and natural forms. Hagner creates each sculpture using a technique she has developed to weave together pieces of hot glass, creating fluid forms. Using a method somewhat like building a clay pinch-pot, she builds with small gathers of hot glass, positioning and shaping each small bit in place. As the piece expands, it grows into its final shape, an intricate expression of glowing color and light. KALA Gallery 1017 Marine Drive A nod to composer Modest Mussorgsky and in celebration of the 11th annual Astoria Music Festival, this month, KALA features a juried exhibit of music-themed pieces, “Pictures at an Exhibition.” Exhibit organizers Charles Schweigert and Drew Herzig and jurors Teri Sund (Imogen Galllery) and Scott Leahing (Dots n’Doodles) selected works from these artists: Kimberly Reed, Gin Laughery, Marga Stanley, Vicki Baker, David Ambrose, John Wecker, Charles Schweigert, Joy Diamond, Chris Bryant, Shirley Dahlston and Elizabeth Bonn Zimmerman. KALA is located at 1017 Marine Drive in Astoria. Viewing Hours are noon to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and by appointment by calling 503-338-4878.
ALSO FEATURING ORIGINAL ART Carine’s Studio 211 12th St. Buttons, bolts, washers, bottle caps, beads, coins, horseshoe nails, tea tins, curtain rings, typewriter parts, altoid boxes, beach glass, moss, flowers, keys, rocks, spoons, electronics, gears, machine parts, silver, bronze, steel, copper, leather, aluminum, up-cycled, recycled, new and used – all parts of Carine’s unique original jewelry and unusually cool accessories. Grace Episcopal Church 1545 Franklin Ave. Grace Episcopal Church in Astoria is holding a judged art exhibit from June 8 to July 5. The Jean Barney Memorial Art Exhibit showcases work in various mediums featuring the theme “Places of Worship and Renewal.”There will be a “Silver High Tea” reception to meet the artists and award the prizes from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 8 in conjunction with Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk. The exhibit will be open Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon, and on Sundays.

OTHERS BUSINESSES SUPPORTING ART WALK The Trails End Souvenirs & Gifts 1365 Commercial St. Trails End Souvenirs & Gifts believes art comes in all forms. The shop highlights the creativity of local artists through their paintings, photography, wood work, knitted items, jewelry and more. Fort George Lovell Showroom 14th and Duane streets June’s Second Saturday Art Walk in the Fort George Lovell Showroom is part of the Goonies Weekend Celebration. Author Mick Alderman will speak about being on location in Astoria during the film’s shoot, sign books and answer questions. More local Goonies will follow with memorabilia, art and artifacts. Plus the Truffle Shuffle Stout will make an appearance. Doors open at 6 p.m.; all ages are welcome until 10 p.m. Food and beverages are available through the Fort George Taproom. There is no cover.

A salute to the volunteers of Washington’s South Pacific County Technical Rescue – a team of volunteers who work to keep people safe on cliffs and in the waters off the Long Beach Peninsula

In their routine lives they walk paths of mild-mannered normality: A nurse, a construction worker, a pharmacist, a dietary manager and a retired park ranger, just to list a few. They are mothers and fathers, citizens and business owners, our very friends and neighbors. But when the need arises – and with a swiftness that would make even Clark Kent swoon – they transform into members of a highly trained team of volunteers, standing together for awareness, education and safer days on this American beach. Faster than a speeding current, more powerful than an undertow, and able to leap tall waves in a single bound ... Look! There in the water! It’s a seal! It’s a boat! It’s South Pacific County Technical Rescue! And oh, how lucky we are to have them. Founded on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula in 1978 as Pacific County Cliff Rescue, the group began like any good comic: Just a few friends with some specialized skills, hanging out in the Hall of Justice (or in this case, the community fire hall), contemplating the greater good and thinking up ingenious ways to save the day. “Every summer, somebody was fishing or climbing down at Beard’s Hollow, and they’d get stuck out there or hurt, and on such uncommon terrain there just wasn’t anyone equipped to help them,” says Gary Forner, charter member of the organization and longest-serving active teammate. “We saw a real need, and so about seven of us got together, raised money for equipment, and then trained ourselves to be competent. Now,” he adds, smiling, “you look back on it like it’s your kid that’s grown up. The dedication amazes me, and I really couldn’t be more pleased.” Forner’s pride is fully justified. With 25 all-volunteer members and a full 35 years of experience, the team, now South Pacific County Technical Rescue, continues on its original course – but with a few new tricks up its sleeve. Though still properly trained and equipped to perform rescues on any cliff within its jurisdiction, in the early 1990s, SPCTR added a surf rescue component to the program – offering assistance to swimmers in distress in any of the acutely dangerous waters surrounding the Long Beach Peninsula – an aspect that now comprises 90 percent of the group’s rescue efforts. In 2003, members expanded the program again, this time through a prominent system of education and awareness. Believing that prevention is the best of cures, the team provides information
Story by LYNETTE RAE McADAMS to the community about general beach safety through signs, brochures and meetings. It also sponsors all local 5th grade classes in an annual two-week-long spring swimming program, where kids learn basic safety in a pool environment and work on skills to increase their confidence in the water. In a state whose drowning rate is historically higher than the national average (mostly due to cold water temperatures and the swift-running currents off the coast) – and on a peninsula surrounded by water – the program is literally life-saving. Speaking on the team’s positive local contributions, Pacific County Sheriff Scott Johnson, whose agency is responsible for summoning the team during times of trouble via the 911 call system (the best of bat-signals) has this to say: “Without a doubt they are our strongest search and rescue, and I think their surf component isn’t just the best in our area, but in the whole United States. They operate to an incredibly high standard, usually responding within minutes, and I completely trust every person on their management team. The fact they have so many long-term members also speaks to their great success.” “Volunteers vote with their feet,” says Doug Knutzen, SPCTR member since 1985 and current leader of the team, “so if people stop participating, you know right away that something isn’t working.” By all indications, that’s not the case here. On the team since 2003, Erika Hazen, a surgical nurse, agrees, saying, “There’s a great team dynamic, and I’ve always felt incredibly safe. We train hard, we train often, and we’re always there for each other.” And as Knutzen reminds, “You don’t need to wear a wetsuit to be part of our group – we also need support with things like communications, fundraising efforts and maintenance. Basically we have a place for everyone, and we’ll take as little or as much as you want to give.” Monthly training sessions hone team-members’ skills and prepare them to respond to between 15 and 30 distress calls per year, which are received via radios, pagers and text messages. For cliff rescues, SPCTR arrives with a tactical trailer equipped with gear to outfit a 12-member crew. For surf rescues, the team’s response varies by situation, but it typically involves qualified rescue swimmers (who must pass an intensive, two-part swim test every year), a host of personal protective equipment, jet skis, and at least one
vigilant observer monitoring the situation from the beach. In addition to its preparatory exercises, the group also hosts an annual multi-agency drill, which this year included participants from nine local law enforcement and emergency
‘Without a doubt they are our strongest search and rescue, and I think their surf component isn’t just the best in our area but in the whole United States. They operate to an incredibly high standard.’ agencies, each responding from different perspectives – a clockwork start to the season ahead. Will Green has been an active member of SPCTR for three years, and as a professional firefighter and paramedic, he brings significant experience and cross-training to the team. Humbly echoing the sentiments of his colleagues on what motivates their efforts, he says, “It really is so satisfying to be of help when someone needs it. Ideally, we arrive when a bad situation has peaked, and hopefully we’re able to assist all the way through to a state of relief. It’s an opportunity to make a unique connection and truly have an impact. In every way, I feel lucky and honored to volunteer for this.” With summer upon us, let’s all return that honor as best we can: by keeping ourselves and our would-be rescuers out of harm’s way to begin with. To the real-life superheroes of South Pacific County Technical Rescue, we gratefully salute you! May it be a safe and happy season for us all.

Supported through grants, fundraisers, and contributions from local agencies, the group also contracts with Long Beach, Wash., for 20 days of beach patrol during the peak of summer. In recent years, SPCTR has has been hired to consult and provide assistance on several cinematic productions, including three Hollywood movies (“The Guardian,” “Into the Wild,” and “The Road”), a documentary (Billabong’s “Odyssey”), and two 911 re-enactments.

Beach Safety tips from the SPCTR • Water temperatures are always cold, ocean currents are dangerous at any time, and lifeguards are not present. • Do not swim in the ocean, and always wear a life jacket when playing near the water’s edge. • Never turn your back on the waves. • Keep a very close watch on children. • Don’t play on or around logs in or near the surf. • Never attempt to rescue someone yourself. Without proper training and equipment, even the strongest swimmer can quickly become a victim. Call 911 and wait for assistance. June 6, 2013 | coastweekend.com | 13
ROGUE

★
ALES PUBLIC HOUSE
The “Brutal Reuben” sandwich with a side of fries.
The Mouth is charmed by location, sensational food
As a food enthusiast, I find it fascinating that often our desire for certain food changes with our mood. Some days we might be in the “mood” for Italian, or we might “feel like” Chinese. Similarly, sometimes I am in the mood for the Rogue Ales Public House and am heartened by the spirit it evokes: delicious, pub-style food; a fun, rustic atmosphere; a spectacular view; and of course, good beer. The Rogue opened in July 2007 on Pier 39 in Astoria, the former home of the Bumble Bee Tuna cannery. I appreciate restaurants such as this one that make their home in old, historic places, especially when they pay homage to the original locale; driving out onto the pier always makes me nervous, but it’s part of the charm. The Rogue’s story actually begins in the late 1980s with a group of friends who opened a small pub and made beer in the basement, and it has grown to include several brew pubs in Oregon, as well as an impressive line of artisan-quality beers that are distributed widely. On a recent evening when I visited the Rogue, I was in the mood for red meat. For an appetizer, we selected American Kobe beef sliders with Rogue Creamery bleu cheese. I just love sliders, don’t you? Teeny-tiny, tasty and packed full of flavor, the beef itself was tender and juicy, and the bleu cheese was an ideal accompaniment. I want to make a quick note about Kobe beef, which is a Japanese delicacy and comes from cows of superior breeding, whose bovine ancestors can be traced back generations. In the United States, Kobe beef more commonly comes from the Wagyu bloodline, in the “style” of Kobe. I am not implying that the Rogue is using one version or another, as their beef is delicious regardless, but I thought it interesting “food for thought.” A salad of fresh spring greens, bleu cheese,
dried cranberries, toasted hazelnuts and balsamic vinaigrette was next, and I found it pleasing, especially the vinaigrette, which had a creamy, spicy, acidic punch. The combination of fruit, cheese and nuts in house salads seems quite commonplace these days in restaurants in general, and it’s a nice change from a typical green salad. Next I ordered two soups: the clam chowder and Harry’s beer cheese soup. The clam chowder was just average for me: a pleasing, creamy consistency but lacking any real, discernible flavors apart from the clams themselves. The beer cheese soup, made by Harry’s Fresh Foods, was more my style and prepared with Rogue’s Dead Guy Ale and sharp cheddar, Andouille sausage, garlic and onions and served with Rogue Hazelnut Ale bread. I thought the Andouille sausage a delightful addition to the soup, lending sweetness and spice, and overall it was rich and robust. I wonder what it might be like if they added a touch of their Rogue Creamery bleu

cheese, just to make it extra tangy. Just a curious whim. As a first entrée I selected the “Brutal Reuben” sandwich, topped with corned beef simmered in Brutal Bitter beer, swiss cheese, sauerkraut with Shakespeare’s Stout, and Thousand Island dressing on marbled rye. It was nothing short of sensational, particularly the sauerkraut: tender, crisp and perfectly spiced. The Rogue sells all of its ales, Tshirts, and lots of other merchandise, and I wonder if it has considered canning its sauerkraut and selling it … the Rogue would certainly have my support.
ATMOSPHERE:True to the “public house” of its name, the Rogue is large, woodsy and colloquial; it’s full of good spirit and

A house-made brownie with chocolate sauce and whipped cream rounded out the evening’s eatings nicely. During our meal, the service was particularly exemplary. Our server was remarkably quick, friendly and accommodating, especially given the fact that it looked as though she’d recently been “slammed” with many new tables at once. She handled it expertly, and as a former server myself, I can appreciate the composure required in serving so many tables. I highly recommend the Rogue, for whenever you’re in the mood for great food and great beer.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS:There are several salads, a garden burger, a pasta dish and a few appetizers that are meatless. DRINKS: Coffee, teas, soft drinks, wine, Rogue’s own distilled spirits – and of course lots and lots of beer.

writer who enjoys card games, liquor and cigars. The duo, though friends, have numerous conflicts over their obvious differences – and thus hilarity ensues. In the female version, the characters Florence and Olive experience the same love/hate friendship as Felix and Oscar. Instead of poker, the game of choice is Trivial Pursuit, and some of the jokes have been adjusted, but the overall feel and humor of the original is maintained, and the Peninsula Players did a exceptional job of bringing the story to life. One of the nice things about local theater is seeing members of the community on stage. It is always a surprise to see who has been bitten by the acting bug bad enough to volunteer their time and hard work to make a production happen. “The Odd Couple” stars local entrepreneur and rising local thespian Lynn Hadley as Olive, the messy sports-loving newscaster who can’t say no to her no-good ex-husband whenever he calls for money. The domesticated and neurotic Florence, who’s just been dumped by her husband, was portrayed by Penny Bierly. Both women offered strong performances. Fellow Trivial Pursuit players included Stephanie James, Janice Hoover, Cassie Guenther and Missy Bageant – all of whom were exceptional, especially Bageant, who played policewoman Mickey and also changed a majority of the sets
between acts. As in the original stage version, Olive and Florence have a double date of sorts with two sexy brothers from Spain, Manolo and Jesus Costazuela, played convincingly by Chris Potter and Johnny Phillips. The production was directed by Laurie Carter. The entire play takes place in Olive’s living room, offering simplicity, but not tedium to the production. “The Odd Couple” is a comedy, and it delivered the jokes – all of the actors seemed to have a great time on stage, which says a lot about any production. The comedy was wonderfully off color and not necessarily politically correct; it was not toned down, as recreations from the 1960s and ’70s – whether TV, movies or theater – often are. Once or twice the bickering between the two women became uncomfortable – but of course, it is not the purpose of art to comfort, and these dramatic moments offered a thrilling awkwardness for the audience, making the jokes that came after that much funnier. It was refreshing to see a small and relatively young theater group offer what could be considered a cuttingedge production.

Robert Dugoni holds book signing
The Rolling Stones had human drama
CANNON BEACH — New York Times best selling author Robert Dugoni will speak and sign copies of his gripping legal thrillers 2 p.m. Saturday, June 8 at the Cannon Beach Library, 131 N. Hemlock St. Later that same day, there will be a reception for Dugoni at Ocean Lodge, 2864 S. Pacific St., Cannon Beach. Both events are free and open to the public. Dugoni wrote his way to Stanford University where he majored in journalism and creative writing. He worked briefly as a reporter at the Los Angeles Times before deciding to attend the UCLA School of Law. While practicing law, Dugoni satisfied his artistic thirst by studying acting at the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco. However, his longing to return to writing
SEASIDE — At 7 p.m. Thursday, June 6, the Friends of the Seaside Library will host author Christopher Sandford as he reads from his book, “The Rolling Stones: Fifty Years.” The event will take place in the Community Room, and there will be book sales and signings. In 1962 Mick Jagger was a bright, well-scrubbed boy (planning a career in civil service), while Keith Richards was learning how to smoke and to swivel a guitar. Add the mercurial Brian Jones (who’d been run out of school for theft and playing blues guitar) and Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, and the potential was obvious. During the 1960s and ’70s the Rolling Stones were admired in some quarters for their creativity and
salacious life-styles, and reviled elsewhere for the same reasons. Expected to never reach 30 years old, band members are now approaching their 70s, and in 2012, they marked 50 years of being together as a band. Sandford tells the human drama at the center of the band. He interviewed friends, family members and contemporaries – even examining previously unreleased FBI files. The book makes sense of the opportunism, talent, luck, self-destructiveness and other excesses that made the Stones who they are. Sandford has published biographies of Kurt Cobain, Steve McQueen, Eric Clapton, Bruce Springsteen and Roman Polanski. He has worked as a film critic and music writer for more
banjo, guitar, tenor guitar, mandolin and keyboard. Robert Stevens plays guitar, banjo and bass. How would you describe your music? We call it “crabgrass.” It’s a mixture of folk with bluegrass overtones that frequently delves into maritime subjects. What’s the best concert you’ve ever played? It would have to be the Lewis and Clark bicentennial event held at the Liberty Theater in November 2005. Great audience, not too many mistakes by the band, and we recorded it for posterity. It’s available on our CD “Live At The Liberty.” How did the band get started? The band grew out of community music making that occurred at potluck get-togethers at each other’s homes, beginning in the 1970s. John tells about them in his song “Potluck,”
which is also the title of our first CD. What is your favorite thing about playing together? We just have fun making music. Although we are serious about achieving a certain level of quality, we wouldn’t be doing this if it weren’t a blast for us. We enjoy the creative process, all of us have a lot of respect for each other’s input, and our rehearsal dinners with wine and beer don’t hurt either. What influences your music? We mostly write about what’s going on in our lives: family, community events, historical anniversaries, local political goings-on and environmental issues. We also get a lot of ideas and influences from our local gem of a radio station, KMUN. We try to include a certain amount of irreverent humor in our songs if we can.
never wavered, and in 1999 he made the decision to quit the full-time practice of law to write novels. He soon settled in Seattle to pursue his dream. For the next three years, Dugoni worked in a 8-by-8-foot windowless office in Seattle’s Pioneer Square. He completed three novels, two of which won the 1999 and 2000 Pacific Northwest Writers Association Literary Contests. However, it was Dugoni’s non-fiction expose, “The Cyanide Canary,” that gave him his start. Published in 2004 by Simon and Schuster, the critically acclaimed true story chronicled the investigation, prosecution and aftermath surrounding an environmental crime in Soda Springs, Idaho. It became a Washington

Post Best Book of the year and the Idaho Book of the Year. Dugoni’s 2012 novel, “The Conviction,” was the fifth in the David Sloane series. His books have been published in 18 foreign countries. In addition to writing novels, Dugoni teaches writing throughout North America. For more information, contact the Library at 503-4361391.

For more information call 503-7386742 or visit www.seasidelibrary .org What’s your process for writing music? All five of us are songwriters, and the individual motivation varies. But, usually after one of us has a song ready, he brings it to a rehearsal. We are always very kind to one another, and never say, “Gee, that sucks.” We say, “Hmm, that’s interesting. What if we did this…?” It’s a collaborative process, and some songs emerge very different from the original version, while some are largely unchanged. However, the author always has the last word on changes to his song. This is probably as much fun for us as performing – it’s always a hoot to see what the song turns out to be. ivFeM i utensW i tho fer as Q&A w ith an artist, musician, thespian or writer involved in the local art scene.
