LONGVIEW NATIVE STARS IN FAITH-BASED ‘WE ARE STRONGER’ SUBMITTED PHOTO/COAST WEEKEND

Actress Angela Sweet (center, seated in vehicle) recently made her big-screen debut in ‘Stronger,’ a feature film depicting the struggle of a soldier and his family dealing with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The theater was packed for the premiere of ‘Stronger,’ starring Angela Sweet.

Angela Sweet discusses feature film about PTSD and the military By MARILYN GILBAUGH AND KATHERINE LACAZE FOR COAST WEEKEND

s the nation pauses on Memorial Day to honor military personnel who died in service, the somber holiday presents an opportunity to reflect on hardships disproportionately affecting members of the armed forces. Angela Myers Sweet — the daughter of Kathy Williams, of Ocean Park, Washington — is bringing attention to one such issue, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), through her work in “We Are Stronger,” a faithbased feature film set for an initial five-city distribution but can be viewed in Oregon and Washington later this year. Produced by Reflective Life Ministries in partnership with the Mighty Oaks Foundation and other organizations, the movie follows Master Sgt. Victor Raphael,

who is nearing the end of his military career when he is injured by an explosion in Afghanistan, according to the official website. At home in Texas, Victor suffers the pain of physical rehabilitation, the stress of stabilizing a rocky marriage, and the tension of reentering the civilian world. Though he copes, at first, with his post-traumatic stress through isolation, he eventually finds hope and healing through spiritual faith and a community of people who have also survived trauma. Sweet, 39, who plays Victor’s wife Michelle Raphael, has been acting for decades. At age 11, she played Lucy in a stage adaptation of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” in Longview, Washington, her hometown. She continued honing her skills through acting classes in Vancouver, Washington, and then in California, where she worked as a model and film extra.

In 2012, she moved with her husband, Shawn, from North Carolina to Texas, and eventually got involved in “We Are Stronger,” which started filming about two years ago.

Production notes

The entire production, a nonprofit project, has been supported by the devotion of its volunteer actors and producers, Sweet said. The team had assistance from some unique sources. Various entities, including the Spirit of Texas Bank, sponsored the movie. The mayor of Huntsville, Texas, volunteered their community Fourth of July parade as the backdrop for the movie’s final scene. And a woman in Montgomery, Texas, allowed the filmmakers to use her home as a set. In the end, the cost of production was about $175,000, well below the estimated $250,000 budget, Sweet said. The producers changed

the title from “Stronger” to “We Are Stronger” to distinguish the film from the David Gordon Green’s “Stronger,” a film about a Boston Marathon bombing victim that will be released in September. The switch worked out well. “That’s our theme anyway,” Sweet said, adding “We Are Stronger Together” was always the film’s tagline.

“We Are Stronger” is intended to “raise awareness and provide empowerment,” Sweet said. Profits from the film will go to Stronger Alliance organizations that serve veterans, first responders, burn victims and other people suffering from PTSD.

Trex Sweet has given several held presentations through var- day, ious organizations. PTSD, Hall she said, is often described as a silent volcano that can manifest through violent behavior, isolation, difficulty sleeping and other symptoms. Rather than letting people suffer in silence, it is important to help them identify their symptoms early and connect them with resources “before that volcano explodes,” she said. Sweet believes that changing the label would benefit people on the road to recovery. “There’s a little bit of stigma happening with post-traumatic stress disorder,” she said. “When you take a leader and slap a label of ‘disorder’ on them, it can be equally traumatizing.” Other descriptors, such as post-traumatic stress or post-traumatic injury, are beginning to surface in discussions about optimal treatments, Sweet said.

GEARHART — Patricia Beck-Fries will be the featured artist at Trail’s End Gallery’s new show beginning Thursday, June 1. A reception will be held 2 to 5 p.m. that day. A Gearhart resident for the last 15 years and a Cannon Beach resident before that, Beck-Fries believes she may have been “born an artist, or at least with a keen observation of color and design,” she said, adding that she almost always uses vivid color in her work. Beck-Fries has studied under many local artists. Most of her work is watercolor “with some additions here and there.” A gardening enthusiast, Beck-Fries paints landscape, still life and portraitures, she said. In addition to BeckFries’s work, patrons at the gallery (656 A St.) will enjoy the work of other gallery artists, including Mary Ann Gantenbein, Susan Bish, Richard Newman, Michael

as well as just have a great time,” press materials said. During Memorial Day weekend, the artists will create a gallery at the Cannon Beach Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center to show and sell original artwork, including watercolor, acrylics, mixed media, oils and pastels. Cards and print reproductions of their work will also be available, as well as the “Bargain Bin” where unframed paintings are available for a minimal price. “This is a year of change

for us. We have lost some members due to illness, death and relocation. Additionally, we may not be allowed to present at the Visitor Center other than for Memorial Day. But our intrepid group of professional artists will continue.” The members who are participating this year are Susan Bish, Judith Fredrikson, Mary Ann Gantenbein, Linda Gebhart, Suzanne King, Debbie Loyd, Jane McGeehan, Jo Pomeroy-Crockett, Barbara Thatcher and Ellen Zimet.

ASTORIA — Kent Neal, a 1998 graduate of Astoria High School who now lives in France, has published a full-length haiku collection, a work that captures the landscapes of Oregon and France. Titled “Là où l’eau salée se mêle à l’eau douce” (“Where Saltwater Mixes With Freshwater”), the book is published by Red Moon Press in Winchester, Virginia. Haiku, a traditional form of Japanese poetry, consist of three lines. The first and last lines contain five syllables; the middle has seven. “By writing these eighty haiku, Kent Neal saw his childhood again and came close to moments that shaped his life,” Jean Antonini, co-president of the Francophone Association of Haiku said.

A PARK MANAGER ASKS VISITORS TO TREAD LIGHTLY ON THE LAND By JON BRODERICK FOR COAST WEEKEND

cola State Park took a beating this winter and is now holding its breath as another tourist season approaches. The park is the busiest day-use fee park in the Oregon State Parks system, hosting as many as half a million visitors in a calendar year, according to Park Manager Ben Cox. Cox manages not only Ecola State Park, but Nehalem Bay and Oswald West state parks, Saddle Mountain State Natural Area and a dozen or so waysides. “We have miles and miles of trail. It’s a challenge

to keep them free of brush, the water bars dug, the elevated tread in good shape,” he said. The public’s affection for Ecola State Park is hard on it, and not only in the summer. During tough winters like the last one, it is vulnerable to damage even from fewer visitors. “Places like the park are resources that need to be cared for,” Cox explained. “When you walk these trails in the wintertime, for example, and walk around fallen trees, you create new problems, erosion problems, habitat problems. We need to let the resource rest.” “I don’t know how to get that message out without contradicting our arms-wideopen policy,” he added.

Ecola State Park features several trails that require routine maintenance in order to be ready for summer tourist traffic.

‘TREAD LIGHTLY’

With the right to enjoy state lands and public beaches comes a responsibility to care for them. “The entire park is sensitive, culturally significant,” he said. Not only is habitat fragile, but a history of earlier people dwells in the park. Captain William Clark, in 1806, noted a small village at today’s Indian Beach. “People recognized, ‘This is a great place to get to the water, so our village will go here,’ or, ‘Because of this view, this will be ceremonial ground, sacred ground to us,’” Cox said. “They found it awe-inspiring long ago, just like we do today.” Fencing off sensitive area isn’t a happy solution. “So tread lightly on the land,” Cox said. Significant sliding inside the park poses a chronic, expensive maintenance problem. Internal conversation about how and whether to provide a better road to the park has resumed. The Ecola State Park Master Plan, written in 1975, recognized the same need. A landslide that year closed the park for four months. Another in 1961 closed the park for 10 months. “The present park entrance road,” the plan reads, “… suffers major slide damage on nearly an annual basis. To avoid endless maintenance, repair costs and danger to vehicular traffic, future re-routing or closure of this road appears imminent.” Forty-two years later, it may be imminent again.

HELP FROM HIKERS

Little can be done to avoid damage from coastal winds and rain, but damage (most of which is unintentional) from human activity can be reduced. “It’s trails, mostly,” Cox said. For example, from Ecola Point the park maintains only one trail to access the beach below, the mile-and-a-quarterlong Crescent Beach trail. Slides destroyed a more direct trail to the beach below some years ago. There are no other trails, but people slide down the muddy cliffs anyway, creating ad hoc trails that damage the park. Park rangers haven’t time to walk the trails frequently, so Cox invites hikers to participate in maintaining the park. “The biggest thing people can do for us is walk the trails. Tell us where a spruce is down across the trail or where a water bar is compromised and there’s a big wash-out,” he said. “Tell us the GPS location. Take a photo if you can.” With that information rangers can more efficiently organize a work party, and the park can breathe easier. Hikers can send trail information to park. info@state.or.us or, for Ecola State Park, can leave a message at 503-436-2844.

never made it to the old Clemente’s. When they packed up from the Carruthers Building in early 2015 and moved a few blocks northeast to the pier next to the Pilot House, two reasons were given: to become more intimate, and approachable. And while they’ve ditched the white tablecloths and a reportedly cavernous dining room, Clemente’s Cafe & Public House is still pretty spiffy for a “public house.” It inhabits a kind of blurry line between laid back and fancy — a place you’re more likely to find a steak than a burger. The burger, servers told me, is tremendous, but it only appears occasionally. The majority of Clemente’s entrées change from night to night. But there are a few standbys you can count on: fish and chips, cioppino, and a NY strip. The specials of the day are listed on a chalkboard near the kitchen. Over the course of my trips, they included salmon (grilled and fried in sandwich), phở and fried asparagus. Altogether, the night-to-night choice of entrées was neat and narrow, reflecting the lean, essential Clemente’s aesthetic. After going big before, the current Clemente’s seems something of a distillation, simplifications of flavor and mood. I was drawn to the bar and wanted to wring even more view than the tight Columbia-river facing windows would allow. The interior, formerly a boat repair shop, is a reclaimed, handsome, refashioning of retro space — the bright varnished wood of the tables and bar set against the aged, dark beams of the high ceiling. While the approach and entry to the restaurant can feel a little daunting, odd or awkward (I can’t quite put my finger on it, but felt it numerous times), once

you’re seated it quickly turns easy, relaxed, welcoming. Credit to the young and attentive staff, who do indeed proffer a personable “public house”-type atmosphere. I was delighted to find poke (a raw fish salad) on the menu which, as far as I can tell, doubles the number of restaurants on the North Coast that serve it. Clemente’s offers two variations: regular and spicy. I opted for the Spicy Poke ($14) and was blown away — not so much by the flavor or heat but by the sheer weight of tuna steak therein. It was downright hefty, a lunch’s worth of ice cube-sized bites. The melty chunks of Albacore were smothered in a sambal-like sauce, enlivened with lime, ginger and soy sauce. Cucumbers provided a crisp cool. It was nicely presented, served in a ladle-like bowl with an arching handle on a white plate, the reds of the sauced fish contrasted against vivid green onions and

lettuce, and dotted with black sesame seeds. I had to go easy on it so as not to spoil my appetite. But the main course — Bristol Bay Sockeye ($24) — was also teeming. In a shallow bowl the salmon steak, the size of a fat wallet, was served atop rice, surrounded by clams and sautéed veggies, topped with fiddlehead fern tips, which were foraged by the chef himself. “He’s always out there,” a server told me, “trying to always feature something from the forest.” The fiddleheads, young ferns, were tight, spiraling adherents to the golden ratio. They looked a bit peculiar and tasted more so. There was a bitterness and a whole lot of earth, kind of like green dirt. The rest was familiar. The peppers and onions were cooked in bacon grease and smacked of it. The clams were unadorned, and the fish could’ve been more seasoned. Altogether, the dish was very elemental: a handful of familiar, mostly regional ingredients in their most basic, healthful preparations. On my second trip, I began

with the House Salad ($7), of fresh mixed greens, minced hazelnuts and too much of what is otherwise a fine sweet maple vinaigrette. I most enjoyed the blue cheese, from Madrona, an Oregon-based creamery. It was less shy than the usual restaurant blue cheese, unafraid to be pungent and funky. Sampling the ever-present NY Strip seemed the thing to do, and when I ordered I asked for it to be cooked at the chef’s discretion, as if he were having it himself. That information was relayed to the letter, and verified thereafter. A message from chef Clement came back: He was thankful for someone to trust his judgment, for once. Ordering it his way was very much the right choice. The strip was lightly crusted, sealed, and purple and buttery inside. And once again: It was much larger than I expected. Said to be something like 12 ounces, it was nearly the size a boot print, and thick as the heel. Shoe metaphors aside, it was tender, not chewy. In the Clemente’s aesthetic, it was very minimally prepared, almost like on a BBQ. If there’s a way that hunt-

 Below average  Average  Good  Excellent  Best in region

ers eat steaks, this is it: Big. Not overly fatty cuts, no dainty filets, but hulking slabs of beef. With the steak again, I got to try new things: a “Kale Rabe,” which closely approximated a broccoli rabe by using mature kale stalks after the leaves have been picked, and would otherwise go to waste but are still packed with nutrients; and a root mash that whipped together celeriac, purple and regular yams. I appreciated how the celeriac dialed down the sugars of the yams, which I often find too sweet to enjoy much of. Despite the clever refashioning of sides, in the end the dish amounted to the known classic: meat and potatoes. Nothing wrong with that, of course, and bless the enormity of that steak. Apart from the flourishes of novel and local ingredients, though, Clemente’s hewed closer to a traditional aesthetic. It prizes unobtrusive, healthy, back-to-basics preparation, and the essential over the downright irresistible. It is, at once, upscale and humble.

shelter’s annex, next to the shelter building. There will be new selections daily, organizers said. In addition, the event will have fun activities for children, including face painting from noon to 4 p.m. Friday and Saturday. People can still drop off donated items for the garage sale between 1 and 4 p.m. Thursday, May 25. “Fundraisers are key to keeping our no-kill shelter open and the animals housed there well-cared for until they find their forever homes,” the shelter said in a release. The organizers have had to turn down some items to avoid losing profits by paying for a dumpster after the sale, they added. “We apologize for the inconvenience but need to keep as much of the cash we raise as possible.” For a list of donated items that the shelter would like to receive, call 360-642-1180 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. through Saturday.

Manzanita book sale offers thousands of titles MANZANITA — The North Tillamook Library is hosting its annual book sale Memorial Day weekend, on Friday, May 26, and Saturday, May 27. The sale has become so large in recent years — offering thousands of donated books — that it’s held at two locations: The Hoffman Center for the Arts (549 Laneda Ave.) and Pine Grove Community House three blocks away (225 Laneda Ave.). “It’s a yearlong effort sorting and categorizing donated books,” said Ann Morgan, book sale coordinator and a Library Friend for nearly 25 years, in a release. “We always have a great selection of books to choose from.” The sale begins 5 to 7 p.m., Friday, May 26; members of the Friends of the Library get first crack at this year’s selection, organizers said. Nonmembers, have no fear: People can sign up the evening of the presale: $10 for an individual membership, $15 for a family. On Saturday, May 27, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., the general public is invited to comb the shelves and tables

for good deals on “gently used” books. The books at the Hoffman Center, across from the library, are non-fiction, including cookbooks, biographies, humor, nature, gardening, history, religion, self-help, reference, general interest and coffee table books. Just down the street, at the Pine Grove Community House readers can find fiction: novels, mysteries, science

fiction, poetry, romances and children’s books. Held every Memorial Day weekend, the book sale is the major fundraiser for the North Tillamook County Friends for maintenance of the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita. More than 100 volunteers — from Wheeler, Nehalem and Manzanita — work to make the book sale a success, organizers wrote.

BOOKMONGER

No good rhyme nor reason for this romance Proliﬁc Seattle romance writer Elizabeth Boyle is back with the newest installment in her latest series: “Six Impossible Things” is the sixth book in the Rhymes With Love cycle. While some of the previous titles (“Along Came a Duke,” “If Wishes Were Earls,” “And the Miss Ran Away With the Rake”) do reference familiar nursery rhymes, “Six Impossible Things” seems to stray from Mother Goose and instead borrows from Lewis Carroll. (Readers who remember “Alice Through the Looking Glass” will recall the White Queen’s daily practice of believing “as many as six

impossible things before breakfast.”) Perhaps others will be clever enough to discern some connection between the title and the story. This reader could not, but, instead, was distracted by the notion that a Regency romance would make this reference to a book whose author was born considerably after the Regency era. With that apparent mismatch already niggling at back of mind, it was difﬁcult to settle into the story’s early chapters, which do their own bit of jumping back and forth in time. In this tale, Roselie Stratton is a young woman who debuted in London Society

four years earlier, yet still remains single. This would be considered a problem by most ladies of her era, but it is an advantage for Roselie, who leads a double life as an undercover operative for the Home Ofﬁce. When she dons a wig and an attitude considerably more brazen than beﬁts a lady of the ton, Roselie becomes Asteria, a spy who roams through some of London’s seediest neighborhoods seeking evidence about turncoats who would betray England on Napoleon’s behalf. In spite of the dangers she confronts in this double life, the person Roselie is most concerned about is Baron Rimswell – Brody – a childhood friend who has

grown up to become a very dashing eligible bachelor. He also – unknown to most – is an agent for the Home Office. As Asteria, Roselie has had some – ahem – unnervingly close encounters, shall we say, with Brody, but he has not yet figured out her true identity. She fears that if he does, he will want to forbid her from participating in any more of this dangerous but critically important work. The first two-thirds of this book is a slog through proper tea parties and dances on the one hand, and louche bacchanals on the other. Roselie is involved in some skulduggery that is hard to follow, and whenever she and Brody encounter one an-

other sparks ﬂy and, invariably, his mouth “crashe[s] down on hers.” For Roselie, having him so close leaves her feeling “… tangled. Furious. Delirious.” Whereas from Brody’s point of view, Roselie is ever “Toying with him. Tempting him. Pushing him.”

Foxglove By LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS FOR COAST WEEKEND

Equally at home in the forest or the garden, the common foxglove is a local favorite, dotting woodland paths with the welcome textures of late spring, and adding color and height to landscape designs. Given its ubiquity throughout the Columbia-Pacific region, it’s easy to assume the plant is indigenous, but in fact, Digitalis purpurea is native only to western Europe and parts of central Asia. Considered a biennial, the first year of the plant’s

life produces a rosette of velvety, dark green leaves growing close to the ground. In the second (and final) year of life, a tall, slender spike also emerges, crowned with a profusion of freckled, tubular blooms that range in color from bright purple to the palest pink. Prolific self-seeders, one foxglove produces more than two million seeds in its short lifetime; the plant you see returning in the same spot every year is actually the product of multiple generations. In the language of science, the foxglove’s name translates literally

as “measuring a finger’s breadth,” which makes perfect sense, given the blossom’s natural, thimble-like fit on human phalanges. Its common calling, derived from Old English and originally “foxes golfa,” is believed to come from folklore claiming that a fox sheathed its paws with the magic flowers to aid with nocturnal raids. Another possibility: The name evolved over time from the earlier “folks’ glove,” which speaks to the ancient belief that fairy folk used the cheerful blossoms to make their homes. Historically, all parts of the plant, in its every state, were known to be fatally poisonous, and no documentation of its use to humans existed before 1785, when an extract from the plant was found to contain cardiac glycosides — organic compounds that affect the rhythm of the

heart. More than 200 years later, Digitalis is still a key ingredient in the manufacture of the predominant medication used to treat congestive heart failure and certain arrhythmias. Despite its modern therapeutic use, the plant has its detractors: Accidental pharmaceutical overdoses have occurred, as well as multiple suicides, and — in at least 10 documented court cases — improper use of the plant returned convictions of homicide. Through the years, D. purpurea has featured prominently in mainstream fiction of the murderous variety. In Agatha Christie’s 1938 novel, “Appointment with Death,” it debuted as a poison of choice, and resurfaced again to fresh acclaim in 1993 during the first season of the popular FBI-conspiracy series “The X-Files.”

Digitalis purpurea, the common foxglove, is a welcome sight throughout the Columbia-Pacific region. Arriving in late spring and lasting into early summer, this highly toxic beauty can be seen along open roads and pathways, and circling the edges of forests and wetlands.
