ASTORIA — AnnaPaul and the Bearded Lady’s biography puts it thusly: “Suspend time and spin it around you like a wellknit sweater. Imbue it with Lucky Strike smokiness and Ovaltine sweetness and then squeeze it through 1920s vintage instruments, vintage microphones, vintage countenance and inflection and you’ve got AnnaPaul and the Bearded Lady. With a joyful and almost scholarly attention to rarely heard songs like ‘Button Up Your Overcoat,’ ‘The Sheik of Araby’ and Gershwin’s ‘Somebody Loves Me,’ AnnaPaul and the Bearded Lady value

If you’ve never been to an Ales & Ideas lecture, I encourage you to check one out. Hosted in the Fort George Lovell Showroom about once a month, Ales & Ideas is a free lecture series presented by Clatsop Community College. It’s a fun way to enjoy a brew and an intelligent talk at the same time. Lecture topics have a wide range. The next Ales & Ideas on April 25 will concern historic preservation with Lucien Swerdloff and John Goodenberger. Last week’s event saw CCC painting, drawing and design instructor Kristin Shauck present “Creativity: The Mystery of the Muse.” According to Shauck, in ancient times artists were said to have a genius or a muse; during the Renaissance, in order to raise their status in society, artists were said to be a genius. The muse moved from outside the artist to inside, and that distinction increased the pressure to always create astounding work. Much of Shauck’s talk focused on this artistic pressure and dealing with artist’s block.
“What are we doing? Making marks on paper? It’s not life or death, yet it generates such anxiety and even fear,” Shauck said. “Why is that?” Artists often think about two questions: “Is it good?” and “Does it suck?” Shauck said a sense of perfectionism shuts down the muse. Embracing our vulnerability is important. She handed out Canadian designer Bruce Mau’s incomplete manifesto for growth, which lists 43 tips to encourage creativity. “Forget about the good,” read one. “Good is what
we all agree on ... As long as you stick to good you’ll never have real growth.” Shauck encouraged artists to doodle, to start anywhere, to put in time and effort, to constantly practice and to make mistakes. “I think if we sit around and wait for our muse to strike, we’ll be sitting around for a long time. We have to meet our muse half way at least,” she said. This all got me thinking about what inspires me to create. Leaving my cell phone at home and heading out on a hike or a walk on the beach usually helps.
Taking in the majesty of the Columbia River every morning, watching birds fly, working in a garden, a good meal in a cozy diner – it can be anything. Whether it’s for words or images, creative inspiration is all around us. Sometimes we just need to pause and let the ideas collide.

Book review by DAVID CAMPICHE
BOOK REVIEW
RESCUE AT SEA
True-life story highlights heroics of Nevada Smith, air operations officer at U.S. Coast Guard Air Station Astoria Author Michael J. Tougias draws a fine frantic tale about survival at sea – the Atlantic – in his book “A Storm Too Soon.” Growing up on the western edge of the Pacific Ocean, local denizens have their own sea stories to share. But few people can place as much spin on a story as the author of this 224-page true-life adventure. And few stories are more harrowing. The book is further enhanced because one of the heroes in this thrilling sea saga happens to be U.S. Coast Guard Cmdr. Nevada Smith, who is now air operations officer at Coast Guard air station Astoria. After pressing through this tense biography in two days, it was hard for this reader to see the man as anything other than a hero. The story is another cut from the same cloth as the 2000 film “The Perfect Storm” or 2006’s “The Guardian,” in which Smith actually played the small on-screen role of Lt. Ken Krauss, a co-pilot. “A Storm Too Soon” begins with the wild Tropical Storm Andrea, which occurs when colliding patterns of warm Gulf Stream waters and cold Northern air create the unexpected and the unimaginable. In May of 2007, three sailors join in a team to transnavigate the Atlantic in a 47-foot sailboat called the Sean Seamour II. But luck isn’t on their side. Only a few days and 200 miles off of Cape Hatteras, a storm hits with 70- to 80-foot waves, torrential winds and rain that stings like lead pellets. Capt. JP de Lutz’s fine sailboat is rolled and pitch-polled as monster combers 4 | March 7, 2013 | coastweekend.com

rescue in near impossible conditions. Imagine the combined currents of wind and giant, nearly supernatural waves rising and falling in unpredictable patterns of mayhem, while a raft is thrust across roaring white caps at eight knots per hour. Above all this is a rescue swimmer dangling on a thin cable. A major player in the drama is 34-yearold Drew Dazzo, rescue swimmer. He gives legitimacy to Kevin Costner’s role as the daring rescue swimmer in “The Guardian.” He gives legitimate status to the word “hero.” The heroics of the USCG are a true-life adventure that would enhance any fictional
drama. To say the least, the drama is bigger than life. To quote Nevada Smith himself, “I have never seen waves that high before.” Once, years ago, this reviewer was caught in a small hurricane between Key West and Fort Meyer aboard a 44-foot sailboat in the Gulf of Mexico. A day and a half of ensuing sea drama left me and the crew sick, dehydrated and hypothermic. At one point in the trauma, I remember being so sick and afraid that I thought of drowning as a blessing. Magnify that adventure from 25-foot waves to 80, and it puts survival and this story into perspective. To read this book is to become a believer in the unbelievable.

LightBox Photographic Gallery ‘The Photographic Nude 2013’ to open March 9 ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will open “The Photographic Nude 2013” with an artists’ reception from 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday, March 9. This is the third year of the annual juried exhibit, a collection of photographic prints exploring the artistic and creative view of the body and its form, dedicated to the creative spirit of Ruth Bernhard, who was hailed by Ansel Adams as “the greatest photographer of the nude.” The exhibit consists of works from 26 photographic artists from around the country, as well as Japan, Poland and France. Chris Kovacs of Vancouver, British Columbia, founder and editor of Adore Noir Magazine, serves as juror for this year’s exhibit. Kovacs selected 30 images and the gallery awarded an additional 10 gallery choice images for a total of 40
prints in this year’s exhibit. Michael Puff of Montara, Calif., received the juror’s award. Scott Bulger of Northwood, N.H., Ryuta Sakurai of Osaka, Japan, and Michael Datoli of Long Beach, Wash., received the juror’s three honorable mentions. This year, LightBox invited two featured artists to show work alongside “The Photographic Nude” exhibit. Kat Moser of Omaha, Neb., shows a collection of prints from her series, “Illusions of Water.” Moser stated the following about her work: “Ethereal, mystical, spiritual – all three represent the primal connections we have with Mother Earth and her female qualities. This is my creative challenge when making photographs, which led me to focus my camera on the feminine form, quiet waters and natural landscapes. Each final print
serves as a tangible reminder and potential window into these special places that exist just beyond the shadows.” Hillary Atiyeh of Portland will show work from her series, “Daily practice, the essence of yoga.” Atiyeh said of her work, “life, art and nature are intertwined and it is this connection I intend to express in my photographs. I let intuition guide me, finding new ways to experiment and play, often abandoning rules and pushing my own boundaries. Accentuating the positive, I seek an essence of humanity thriving in harmony with nature.” The exhibit runs from March 9 through April 6. Visit http://lightbox-photographic.com/shows/ for complete exhibit and artist information. LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive. Hours are

lick or two. The workshop is for all levels, including beginners. Cost is $25. A consummate musician and songwriter, Law embodies the ideal of the steel-string guitar master, widely known by audiences and fellow musicians alike for his original tunes, articulate phrasing, silvery tone and knack for raising the energy level and musicality of any collaboration. Besides his work as a bandleader, career highlights include being chosen by bassist Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead to play Jerry Garcia’s “Wolf” guitar at a Red Rocks Amphitheater benefit event, his longtime stage and songwriting partnerships with The String Cheese Incident and his association with legendary fiddler Darol Anger. Law’s songs and story-like solos come straight from the heart of rhythm and blues, vintage country, bluegrass and rock-n-roll, melding contemporary life experience with deep musical heritage. Fluent in both acoustic and electric genres, Law’s alternately chiming and grinding melodic concept bears favorable comparison to the greatest inno-

Maybe it’s all the rain, or just that concrete skies do not invite us outside in all seasons, or that, at this latitude, we have very little daylight for a few months of the year. Or, it could be that we are a well-educated, engaged, interested populace. We like that idea. Whatever the reason, we Pacific Northwesterners are great readers. Our per capita use of libraries in Washington and Oregon is very high; we support our local bookstores as well as buying online. Book clubs, authors and books are thick on the ground hereabouts. Writers’ groups abound in the area as well. Check out your local bookstore or library for information about them. Washington and Oregon also have a vital and varied publishing industry: University of Washington Press, The Mountaineers, Seal
We Pacific Northwesterners are great readers. Press, Copper Canyon Press, WSU Press, Beautiful America, Beyond Words, University of Oregon Press, OSU Press and Ooligan Press, to mention a few, continue to bring the best in regional, fiction, non-fiction, children’s, poetry, feminist and nature books to us. Not meant to be a comprehensive list, here are a few Washington and Oregon authors well
worth reading. From Washington: Jess Walter, who continues to surprise us with the range of his writing ability; Jim Lynch, now working on his fourth novel (remember “The Highest Tide”?); Ivan Doig, that hardy perennial storyteller who brings Montana and its denizens to life on the page; Karl Marlantes, whose understanding of war and ability to write about it are unsurpassed; Elizabeth George, whose Inspector Lynley has moved into our livingrooms via PBS; Debbie Macomber and Kristin Hannah, premier purveyors of women’s fiction; Steve Martini, lawyer and creator of defense attorney Paul Madriani; Tim Egan, author and journalist whose most recent book is “Short Nights of the Shadow Catcher.” From Oregon: Jean Auel, whose Earth’s Children series, starting with “Clan of the Cave Bear,” has entertained millions; Jane Kirkpatrick, who writes and speaks about historical topics from a Christian point of view; Molly Gloss, writer of historical fiction and science fiction; Phil Margolin, former criminal defense attorney who brings an insider’s point of view to his crime novels; Graham Salisbury, who writes about the journey children must take to get to adulthood in a complicated world; Ursula K. LeGuin, winner of many awards for her science fiction and fantasy works, she also writes poetry and essays; Cynthia Rylant, who writes for children of the joys and hardships of family life; Terry Brooks, creator of whole worlds in his epic and fantasy fiction; Chelsea Cain, a sassy, dark and funny

The list of excellent Northwest authors is endless and their books and subject matter various enough to suit every taste. Browse your local bookstore or talk to a friendly librarian about what might interest you. A good way to start the conversation with booksellers is to say what you read recently that you really enjoyed. That will give good information about the kinds of books you will enjoy. You will find that booksellers love to talk about books and putting the right book in a customer’s hand is the prime benefit of the job. Happy reading!

hat began as a Wine Walk to benefit the Cannon Beach Preschool and Children’s Center several years ago has morphed into a four-day extravaganza with food and wine events galore. Under the careful management of Gary Hayes, this has become a premier event for Cannon Beach, drawing visitors from the region and all over the United States. Hayes credits Tourism and Arts Funding wth making it possible to expand marketing and promotion and provide management for all aspects of the event this year. Tourism and Arts Funding is administered by the Tourism and Arts Commission, whose deliberations and grants are approved by the Cannon Beach City Council. This is the third year that grants will be given to nonprofits to encourage events that bring tourists to town from more than 50 miles away. “The (Cannon Beach Preschool and Children’s Center) did a great job of launching a wine event for Cannon Beach, but they didn’t have the resources or experience to manage a growing event or to turn it into a major festival that attracts visitors to Cannon Beach,” he said. “With the TAF funding and professional event management and marketing from Pelican Productions, we have created one of the community’s most popular events in a very short time.” Savor Cannon Beach fits the town perfectly because nearly every

For a complete and up-to-the-minute listing of who is doing what and where it is happening, check the website: www.savorcannonbeach.com
The schedule run-down The festivities begin at 5 p.m. Thursday, March 7 with the Thursday Night Throwdown, where Savor Cannon Beach participants taste 12 wines (two of each varietal), vote for their favorites, select a top red and top white wine, and crown the winner of the one-on-one matchups. In keeping with our mothers’ admonition to eat something if you are drinking, small bites for the event will be provided by John Newman, award-winning chef and owner of Newmans at 988 and Fishes Sushi and Japanese Cuisine. Friday, March 8 will see a food and wine pairing event as well as the Battle of the Blends, a tasting featuring four red and four white wine blends from the Northwest. A special event – “What’s That Varietal?” will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 9. In this blind tasting, learn about the characteristics of different wine varietals. Discussion will be led by Northwest wine writer Andy Perdue, founder of Wine Press Northwest Magazine and operator of Great Northwest Wine. The Savor Cannon Beach Wine Walk, starting 2 p.m. on Saturday, is the largest event of the four-day festival. Up to 500 participants who purchase a ticket can make the tour of Cannon Beach galleries, shops, restaurants and hotels, each hosting a different winery offering tastings. Forty Northwest wineries will be featured on this year’s Wine Walk. To give you a taste of the offerings: The Lumberyard will feature a hard cider tasting from Blue
Mountain Cider, the Wayfarer Restaurant & Lounge will have Chehalem wines, and the Surfsand Restort will have Angel Vine Winery offerings. “The event is becoming a real showcase for winemaking in the Northwest with participating wineries representing nearly all wine regions of Oregon and Washington,” Hayes said. “Some of the biggest and smallest wineries in Willamette Valley will be here, as will Southern Oregon wine regions and Washington wineries, inclusing some of Walla Walla’s best known names.” Prior to the festival, Savor NW Wine Awards will be given, and they will be announced at the beginning of the festival. This professional judging of Northwest wines, not open to the public, is one of the largest wine award programs showcasing Northwest wines. Be sure to check out the winners and decide which ones will find their way to your table or your wine cellar. Cannon Beach restaurants host special wine dinners and pairing menus throughout the festival and many businesses participate in a Tasting Tour featuring low-cost or free tastings of chocolate, olive oils or specialty salts. The whole four days of the festival is a foodie’s dream – every delicious item to drink or eat will be on offer. Festival passes for all six wine tasting events, including the Saturday Wine Walk are $119, but they are limited to a total of 100.

SEASIDE BREWING COMPANY
Seaside’s first brewpub has tremendous potential, dishes can be easily improved with minor tweaks If I knew the owners of the Seaside Brewing Company, I would gushingly say, “I love what you’ve done with the place!” Housed in Seaside’s historic jailhouse and city hall building, the proprietors have completely refurbished the 100-year old space into a brew pub, using the reclaimed wood and brick in the restoration, while keeping the original outlaw-ish charm (there are still original jailhouse bars here and there). The result is Seaside’s first brewpub and brewery, and all its craft beers and spirits are made in Oregon. As a local who is pro-growth and propositive change, I am always happy to see entrepreneurs imbue old locales with a fresh perspective. On the evening I visited, we started with a few of the brewery’s craft beers and enjoyed them tremendously. Seaside Brewing Company’s original beer selections are many, and this is a shining spot for the restaurant. I would suggest they try to headline this more, maybe in the form of a “beer flight”: a selection of four or five beers in small, taster servings, so that diners can try each without committing to a full glass (and a designated driver). As an appetizer, we selected chicken drumsticks, made from fried, house-smoked chicken and tossed in buffalo hot sauce, accompanied by blue cheese dressing. I thought this an inventive alternative to traditional hot wings, which are mainly fat and gristle with little chicken. In con-
trast, drumsticks have much more “meat on the bone.” While the buffalo sauce was tasty, if a tad traditional (most are usually made with a sauce known as “Frank’s Red Hot”), the bold spicy flavor tasted odd against the subtle smokiness of the drumsticks. The house-smoked drumsticks may have been very flavorful on their own; likewise, plain drumsticks with the buffalo sauce alone, minus the smoky flavor, could have sufficed. And the blue cheese dipping sauce, which usually provides a creamy cool down from the hot sauce, plus the assertive bite of the cheese, was lacking flavor and any discernible bits of cheese. I like the idea of drumsticks rather than wings, but this combination of flavors didn’t work for me. We also chose a cup of clam chowder, which was above average. I did not detect the flavor of the craft beer that the menu purports as an ingredient, but it was still one of the better clam chowders I’ve tasted: creamy, pleasingly spiced and full of clams. Next up was a Thai salad, a bed of shredded cabbage and julienned vegetables, basil, green onions, cilantro, and crispy rice noodles with sweet Thai dressing. Unfortunately, rather than a bed of shredded cabbage, the salad consisted nearly en-
tirely of bean sprouts: acceptable in their own right, but not what I was expecting or what was described, and certainly not substantive enough to be a salad (although the portion was enormous). The bean sprouts were swimming in the dressing, which was the tastiest part of the dish, but the sheer quantity of it engulfed the vegetables. Also
As a local who is pro-growth and pro-positive change, I am always happy to see entrepreneurs imbue old locales with a fresh perspective. overwhelming was the basil, which was tossed on the salad in whole leaves. Basil is derived from the mint family, and as any home chef knows, is pungent and peppery and can be quite overpowering when the leaves are eaten raw and whole. I liked the dressing and the topping of crispy rice noodles, though, and I would like to try them again on a proper salad. As a first entrée, we selected a stone-oven pizza

with beer-baked crust, topped with fresh marinara and mozzarella. Based on our server’s suggestion, we chose the “Tillamook,” which also included Tillamook cheese, spinach, feta, Kalamata olives, sweet onions and artichoke hearts. Although the toppings made it sound promising, we were sadly disappointed. The crust itself was not flavorful or noteworthy, and the marinara was very off-putting: cloyingly sweet, without the spicy, tomato punch of traditional marinara – more like a tomato paste. The expected astringent saltiness of the Greek toppings of feta, olives and artichoke hearts was completely imperceptible atop the sweet marinara. To me, the combination of flavors made it inedible. A reuben sandwich arrived next. The menu, which I must say is truly a fun read and written with tongue-in-cheek cleverness, says their reuben has been called “the greatest reuben ever made in the history of reubens by some guy claiming to know everything about reubens.” I appreciate the humor and tip my cap to whoever wrote the menu, but I found the reuben short of greatness. While the corned beef was perfectly cooked and in ample supply, the sauerkraut acceptable and the rye toasted well, there seemed to be none of the 1,000 island dressing that serves as the cherry on top of the reuben sundae, although the menu lists it as a topping. The sandwich was still delectable, warm and pleasing with the enormous offering of corned beef, but to me, was not a reuben in the truest sense. The simple addition of a good dollop of 1,000 island really would have made it. The restaurant’s reuben is typically served with chips, but I substituted French fries, which were crisp and tasty. I respect what the Seaside Brewing Company is trying to accomplish, and I think it has tremendous potential. Though I found most of the dishes average on the whole, I think they could be improved with relatively minor tweaks. And when all is said and done, a little beer makes everything better, doesn’t it?

Get over it. Get screened. A colonoscopy can save your life. We know. It’s not a test you’re looking forward to. But because colon cancer has no early warning signs and can be deadly if it progresses, screening is essential. Colorectal cancer is highly preventable. If caught early, it’s highly curable. If you are age 50 or older, or at higher risk, ask your doctor about colon cancer screening.
March is National Colon Cancer Awareness Month. To learn more or to find a local physician who performs colonoscopies, please call 503-717-7000, or visit www.providence.org/coloncancer. At Providence, it’s not just health care, it’s how we care.™

CANNON BEACH — Eighteenyear-old Daryl J. Eigen joined the U.S. Marines to become a man. He quickly discovered he was just another boy on the ground as he fought in the Vietnam War with the Marine Corps’ 3/26 and 2/9 infantry battalions in the Third Marine Division. In his memoir, Eigen gives voice to his and his fellow veterans’ experiences of the Vietnam War that culminated in September of 1967 in the brutal battles of Con Thien. “A Hellish Place of Angels” provides a riveting insight into war and documents a spiritual journey that took one tour of duty to experience and 45 years to understand. Eigen served in Vietnam and was awarded three Purple Hearts. He earned a Ph.D. in engineering from Northwestern University and an M.A. from the Institute
of Transpersonal Psychology. Eigen will speak at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 9, at the Cannon Beach Library, 131 N. Hemlock St. The Northwest Author Series is free and open to the public. For more information, call 503-436-1391 or email info@cannonbeachlibrary .org

This month’s Artist in the Alcove is Brian Johnstone of Nehalem, whose show, “Blurring the Lines,” offers a selection of both painterly ceramic works and watercolor paintings. As a participant in “Nudes Downtown,” the gallery will exhibit nudes by 10 artists, including guest artists. Classical guitarist Crog will perform, and light refreshments will be served. KALA at HIPFiSHmonthly 1017 Marine Drive 503-338-4878 KALA is presenting four artists in the “Nudes Downtown” event. Norman Alcantara of New York will exhibit his iconic, colorful male nudes. Cannon Beach artist Clement Lee has a painting style influenced by the bold gestural style of Chinese calligraphy, abstract expressionism, and the realism of the Bay Area Figurative Movement. Dan McCormack exhibits his oatmeal box pinhole photos, which are scanned into Photoshop to become a hybrid of photography and digital printmaking. Rachel Petrovich, a Port-
land based painter and teacher, will be showing two female nudes characterized by bold line application and exuberant color.
ALSO FEATURING ORIGINAL ART Carine’s Studio 211 12th St. Back by popular demand, Carine’s Studio will be featuring new designs incorporating up-cycled tin earrings and pendants. These pieces are created using old tins with ornate designs such as used for storing teas, flour and other household goods. Each piece is combined with mixed metal elements to create a unique piece of jewelry. Vintage Hardware 380 14th St., Astoria 503-325-1313, http://astoriavintagehardware.com Vintage Hardware will host the third annual Exhibit of Found Art by students from Clatsop Community College. Inspired by the beauty, as well as the functionality of everyday items, the artists from Kristin Shauck’s Introduction to Design course have created pieces that include objects that were created for one purpose, but when presented out of context, become artwork. The students were inspired by artists such as Marcel Duchamp, George Bellows and the early 20th-century artistic movement, Dada. Street 14 Coffee 1410 Commercial St. 503-325-5511, http://street14coffee.com A native Oregonian, featured artist Patty Klindt combines her love for traditional and contemporary photographic techniques with her passion for life. In this exhibit, Klindt highlights the inspiring sights of Astoria. Experience the grandeur that is Astoria at Street 14 Coffee through March.
503-325-7468, www.fortgeorgebrewery.com After a month of Dark Arts hiatus, the Fort George Showroom Art Show is back, with “Old Growth Mythologies, Geology and Birthday Cake” plus choose-your-own-adventure paintings, doodles, and sculpture by Sarah Hendrickson. This is art about staying fascinated and creating your own mythology, imagining things in shapes and shadows, being little, being big, and growing up in the Mt. Hood National Forest chasing the monster, “Logra.” Live music will be provided by John Bowers at 7 p.m. Holly McHone Jewelers 1150 Commercial St. 503-325-8029 Holly McHone is featuring Shimmering Diamonds from Ostbye. These diamonds have a unique mounting technique without prongs that allows for maximum light return and movement in pendants and earrings. This collection features smaller diamonds set in gold with a beautiful shimmering effect. Refreshments will be served. Flourine and Co. 375 11th St. Flourine and Co. is featuring handcrafted lamps made by Portland’s Erik Hittle. The lamps replicate the latest trend of raw-industrial design using rusted metals, concrete, reclaimed wood and other recycled materials. Most of the lamps are touch sensored, having three settings. These works are esthetically soothing, as they are reminiscent of the beautiful surroundings of the wooded Northwest. These lamps will be on display through April.
