CANNON BEACH’S 17TH ANNUAL SPRING UNVEILING ARTS FESTIVAL

2 // COASTWEEKEND.COM

FROM NEAR EXTINCTION TO A PLACE IN ART Beaver Tales art exhibition opens in Seaside May 6 By EVE MARX

FOR THE DAILY ASTORIAN

SEASIDE — Named the “state animal” in 1969, the American beaver builds the dams and wetlands that serve as habitat for Oregon salmon, steelhead, birds, amphibians and insects. Beavers are nature’s hydrologists, “Beaver Tales: A Celebration of Beaver Art” curator Sara Vickerman, a Gearhart resident, said. “Beaver Tales” originated as a traveling art show featuring beaver-themed images and art. Presentations and workshops highlighted relevant research from multiple academic disciplines at its February Oregon State University debut, asking, “How many ways can you see a beaver?” The exhibit inspired a month of local beaver-related events in Seaside.

Beavers and their contributions to the environment are the topic of lectures and exhibits in coming months.

Defender of wildlife

Vickerman retired after 37 years from Defenders of Wildlife, where her job was the conservation of wild animals in functioning ecosystems. She holds degrees in art, anthropology, biology, geography and education. Denise Fairweather, of Fairweather House and Gallery in Seaside, said Vickerman is a gallery patron. “She visited a lot during our art walk events for several years,” Fairweather said. “Little by little, she shared with me what her work is. She asked if I had artists who paint beavers, and I said yes.” Fairweather artists Paul Brent, Mike Brown, Susan

Back from the brink

The beaver is a natural ally in conserving Oregon’s wetlands and restoring natural systems, Vickerman said. Beavers play a central role in resuscitating stream habitats and are worthy of a statewide beaver conservation vision. The Oregon beaver was nearly exterminated

by trappers by 1900. Art exhibits, Vickerman said, are a way to raise the profile of the beaver and wetlands and Oregon artists. “There is limited art depicting beavers and their wetlands and stream habitats,” Vickerman said. The artwork exhibited in the traveling show includes photographs, paintings, prints, cards and quilts. Some of the work is realistic, some abstract; some of it is whimsical, three-dimensional, wood, fiber art and ceramic.

The exhibition at Oregon State University, which closed March 1, was viewed by thousands of people. Of 125 pieces representing about 80 artists, 17 were sold for more than $5,600 total. Benefits from the sale of the art support the Wetlands Conservancy, the Necanicum Watershed Council and the North Coast Land Conservancy. Local conservation groups will host educational workshops throughout May.

SEASIDE — The Seaside Dash to Safety, a 5K run and walk, will headline activities designed to raise awareness of emergency preparedness Saturday, May 6. The race will begin 9 a.m. at the Seaside Cove, with the Tsunami Warning System acting as the official starter. Runners will head along Ocean Vista Drive and up the Seaside Promenade to the turnaround. They will then move east along Broadway Street until they reach Wahanna Road. The final stretch will take them south along Wahanna to Spruce Drive, and then to the finish line at Sea-

side Heights Elementary School. The Seaside Family Safety Fair, all-ages event running 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. will be waiting for them at the school. It will have free hot dogs (served by Seaside Fire and Rescue), a bike rodeo for kids, and prizes — including a drawing for two youth bikes. Information vendors promoting safety will be on hand, and fire trucks, an armored car and the Warrenton-based Life Flight’s helicopter will likely be present. Participants can register through seasideor.com and Sunset Empire Park and Recreation District. Race

packets can be picked up at Seaside Heights, beginning at 8 a.m. Shuttle service will be provided from the school to the Cove starting at 8:30 a.m. The city of Seaside and Sunset Empire partnered up for the Dash to Safety. “There’s a strong effort to promote preparedness in our community,” Rahl, a city spokesman, said. “Winter storms, flooding, fires, tsunamis and earthquakes are just a few of the things that could strike our area at any time. The idea behind this annual day is to have some fun while also learning what we can do to better prepare ourselves for an emergency situation.”

Conversations with the dead Local history buff-turned-author resurrects the legacy of a Long Beach Peninsula pioneer come addition to any shelf that yearns for local history, the book began as something altogether different, but eventually took on a life of its own, Lemeshko said. An investigation into a land use dispute surrounding his family’s vacation property led him on a search for records at the county courthouse, then the state archives, where Briscoe’s name kept coming up as a key to it all. Happily, the dispute was settled. But by then, Lemeshko’s curiosity was rising.

By LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS

FOR COAST WEEKEND

Tucked into the lee side of a weathered ridge just north of Long Beach, Washington, surrounded by a white fence and a legion of Sitka spruce, a tall monument, worn but proud, marks the grave of John L. Briscoe. Laid to rest in 1901 — his wife, Lucy, nestled by his side — Briscoe epitomized the spirit of enterprise and adventure that defined the American West during the second half of the 19th century. A pioneer farmer, entrepreneur, politician and probate judge, who arrived to Pacific County in 1853, he was a founding architect and prominent member of the peninsula’s string of communities — by every measure, a legend in his own time. Through the many decades since his life and death, the Briscoe family cemetery has been lovingly tended by neighbors and service groups: the markers kept clean, the weeds held at bay, the fences mended after a storm. And while it seems fitting to pay such homage to a father of local heritage, in this case there’s one thing obviously amiss: Until quite recently, no one had any idea who John Briscoe was. “He’d been dead for more than a hundred years before I knew his name,” said Michael Lemeshko, community historian, newly minted author and the world’s latest (and only) leading expert on all things Briscoe. “He had an enormous role in shaping the peninsula as we know

it today, and he was quite a character, believe me. It’s another great story that time just forgot.” Almost.

Rising curiosity

In his book, “The Cantankerous Farmer vs. the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company,” Lemeshko

chronicles the life and times of this fascinating frontiersman who, on a government promise for 320 free acres, brought his family to an unknown land and set out to make his fortune. His efforts, and those of his contemporaries, were not without conﬂict — brilliant, sometimes juicy, conﬂict.

Meticulously researched, and told with a narrative style that conveys his love of story, Lemeshko splashes the colorful details of Briscoe’s adventures onto a canvas shared by cutthroat competitors all looking out for their own interests. It is the story of schemes hatched and busted, of hardship and moral principle, of greed and entitlement, courtroom dramas and passions run amok. (If that’s not enough, add a shipwreck, a prostitute and a midnight attempt at murder — all with a railroad running straight through the heart of things.) Now a clever and wel-

Newly retired from a long administrative career in public transportation, and eager to dust off his bachelor’s degree in history, he signed up for the Community Historian Project — a 15-week winter course offered annually through the Columbia Paciﬁc Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Washington. Composed of classes, lectures, tours and demonstrations, the intricate program seeks to provide participants with enough information and ability that they can become community resources themselves, going on to share their knowledge with others. “It’s an incredible experience, totally unique among museums,” Lemeshko said. “You’re offered skills and exposed to local experts who have this almost hereditary knowledge, lending you a perspective you won’t find anywhere else. It creates a connection — a kind of conversation between the present and the past — that keeps unlock-

ing door, after door, after door.” For Lemeshko, the program inspired his project goals to morph from a simple academic article into a formal lecture, and finally, the published volume it is today. “Mike’s book is the perfect example of what the Community Historian Project aims to do,” said the museum’s executive director, Betsy Millard. “Our goal is to develop a sustainable chain of accurate, interesting information, one that preserves story and a sense of place.” “When someone has a personal interest, the program allows them to develop it against a larger backdrop and within a broader context, and that works really well,” Millard said. “Now, instead of merely satisfying his own curiosity, Mike has given us all John Briscoe — a remarkable new story to add to our shared collection. We couldn’t be happier.”

‘That’s the joy’

And Lemeshko’s happy, too. “My goal in writing this book was never to sell books,” he said. “What I wanted was to research and ﬁnd new things — that’s what drives me; that’s the joy. I wanted to tell a true story no one was aware of. “John Briscoe made a huge contribution to this place, and in digging it all up and adding to the knowledge base, in some small way, I hope his contribution also gets to become mine.”

Adams and Costello release music video for debut album Video for opening track ‘Invincible’ filmed in Cannon Beach By HEATHER DOUGLAS FOR COAST WEEKEND

ulie Adams and Michael Costello — the talented Cannon Beach couple of the musical duo “Adams and Costello” who recently released their debut album — met by chance more than twelve years ago at a Lucinda Williams concert at Boston’s Orpheum Theatre. As their romance blossomed, Costello followed Adams, who is from the west coast, back to Cannon Beach, planning to stay for a summer. That one summer turned into five years, and the couple found themselves traveling back to the Orpheum on the same date — Oct. 7 — to see another Lucinda Williams concert, and to celebrate their five-year anniversary. This occasion would be just as memorable as the last. During the show, Adams and Costello met up with a friend who happened to know Lucinda’s manager. The story of a couple from Oregon who met at her show five years ago, and then traveled across the country to celebrate their anniversary, impressed Lucinda so much that she and her manager agreed to meet up with the couple at a bar around the corner after the show. The group stayed out until 3 a.m. Costello remarked: “Not only is Lucinda super-cool and fun to hang out with, but I’m a huge fan of her album ‘Car Wheels on a Gravel Road.’ It became my new ‘Sgt. Pepper.’” Citing Williams as a huge inspiration, the couple formed their very own musical duo.

Cannon Beach musical couple, Julie Adams and Michael Costello — of Adams and Costello — released a music video, filmed in Cannon Beach, for their song “Invincible.”

In 2016, they released their first album “You Better Believe It,” and, a few weeks ago, released a music video, filmed in Cannon Beach, for the album’s opening track, “Invincible.” The album was done in live takes with two acoustic guitars.

Local music scene

Adams and Costello are both classically trained, the former on the French horn and the latter on violin, but Adams wanted to pick up guitar. For years, she became a devoted student of Wes Wahrmund, a Cannon Beach musician. Her teacher also

turned out to be very supportive by welcoming them to the local music scene. Wahrmund offered to accompany Adams and Costello for their first several gigs, which was a huge confidence-booster. John Sowa, owner of Sweet Basil provided a supportive venue from the beginning. The duo has also performed at KALA in Astoria. While Adams is new to live performance, Costello is not new to the music scene. Years ago, he opened for notable acts such as Jimmy Cliff and Buddy Guy with his group The Razor’s Edge back in Boston. Razor’s Edge

eventually broke up and Costello left to work in the trades. Costello started writing songs at 13, and was inspired by a teacher who passed along roots blues albums to him. Costello lists Stevie Ray Vaughn, Bob Dylan and Jimi Hendrix as musical influences. Adams, who is new to songwriting, co-wrote “You Better Believe It,” with Costello. She noted her musical inspirations: “I was really into Motown, R&B, Prince — anything with rhythm.” “It’s really an album of the two of us trading songs back and forth,” Adams said.

Julie Adams and Michael Costello, a Cannon Beach-based musical duo, released their debut album in 2016.

The writing process has taken her by surprise: “I wrote the song ‘Pain’ in my head while I was jogging. I had to keep humming it until I could get home and write it down,” she said.

‘A limitless art form’

“Invincible” was inspired by Adams’ ill and aging father. “The song is about a moment when my father, who was a retired doctor, was asking his own doctor for a specific procedure,” Adams said. “That doctor pulled me aside and questioned my father’s quality of life; he asked me to let him go. “It was a moment where I had to either follow the advice of an expert authority figure or speak my truth. I stuck to my principles and my father lived eight more months of quality life,” she continued. “The same doctor saw my dad a few months later in a cafeteria enjoying a doughnut

and coffee and you could tell he was shocked.” Lately, Adams and Costello are seeking new venues, and aim to take their music on the road. They are currently writing new songs for their next album, which will incorporate their acoustic/electric sound with additional musicians and a rhythm section. For Adams, becoming a singer/songwriter is a bucket-list dream she has held since childhood. “A jarring event like loss changes your thinking from ‘maybe one day’ to ‘the time is now.’ Music is expansive, expressive, freeing; you don’t always know where it’s going to take you. It’s a limitless art form,” she said. The couple still gets nervous before a gig. “We tell ourselves every time, let’s have fun,” Adams said. For Costello, the new adventure has rekindled his desire to perform: “Doing music with Julie is my second chance at music,” he said.

themselves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tap was passed from dancer to dancer, and, as the late Gregory Hines said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;from friend to friend.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They shared their knowledge with each other and danced for the pure joy of it.â&#x20AC;?

Learn how the Columbia River jetties were built ILWACO, WASH. — Local historian Gary Kobes will discuss the creation of the jetties at the mouth of the Columbia River at the next Salty Talk presentation, “Building the Jetties,” 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, May 10, at the Salt Hotel & Pub (147 Howerton Ave.) in Ilwaco, Washington. The enormous structures, which took more than 50 years to build, were constructed with the state-ofthe-art technology of their time. “Steamships and locomotives moved and placed over 3 million tons of stone to build the North Jetty alone,” according to press materials. The building of the jetties has had “a profound effect on both the people and the landscape of our region.” Kobes, the manager of the Port of Astoria Airport, is a self-described “history addict” who graduated from Washington University, St. Louis, Missouri and has more than 35 years of experience in commercial and institutional real estate,

Featured authors: Diana Kirk, of Portland, author of “Licking Flames: Tales of A Half-Assed Hussy,” a group of brash and adventurous essays; Melissa Eskue Ousley, local author of the young adult fantasy series “The Solas Beir Trilogy”; Brian Ratty, local author of the Dutch Clark series of historical fiction; Jim Stewart, author of “Ochoco Reach,” the first in the Ironwood detective series; Deb Vanasse, local author of “Wealth Woman: Kate Carmack and the

Klondike Race for Gold”; and Nick Vasilieff, local author of the “Sammy and the San Juan Express” series of young adult novels. David Frei, the co-host of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show and author of “Angel On A Leash,” will serve as master of ceremonies. The authors — who will also be available for books signings — will write against the clock to complete a quick-finish short story. Attendees will have

an opportunity to bid on becoming a character, insert a pet’s name, perhaps even request a plot twist. There will be a silent auction with gifts (including books). Small treats will be provided, and a no-host bar. The event has a $10.00 admission fee. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at the library. For more information, call the Seaside Public Library at 503-738-6742 or visit www.seasidelibrary. org.

Symphony to tell stories ASTORIA — The Columbia River Symphony is mounting two upcoming Saturday concerts: 7 p.m. May 6 at Astoria High School, and 7 p.m. May 13 at North Coast Family Fellowship in Seaside. Titled “Symphonic Stories: Colorful Memories 2017,” the shows are family friendly and free, but donations are welcome. “Symphonic Stories” centers on a collection of nine inspiring short stories, some based upon facts, others pure fiction. Each story looks at the kind of beautiful memories that can save lives, better mankind and change the world. The colored pictures accompanying each story — the result of a coloring competition that took place along Oregon/Washington coast and inland — have been colored by community members, and will be presented with special musical selections performed by the symphony.

“Creativity is such an integral part of learning and provides everyone with an opportunity to express themselves, that combining writing, coloring and music makes for a comfortable fit,” organizers wrote. “The great creativity provided by the youth and adults for ‘Symphonic Stories’ is astonishingly, absurdly, rationally and irrationally powerful.” Musical selections will include Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast,” by Alan Menken; Dvorak’s “Largo”; and the symphony’s first percussion ensemble piece titled “Lulla-

FROM WINTER DARKNESS COMES A SUBMITTED PHOTO

SPRING UNVEILING FROM NATURE TO WIDE-EYED DREAMS, INSPIRATION FOR PARTICIPATING ARTISTS COMES IN MANY FORMS By NANCY MCCARTHY FOR COAST WEEKEND

First, comes the inspiration. Then, the art. Finally, the unveiling. or each artist participating in Spring Unveiling from Friday, May 5, through Sunday, May 7, in Cannon Beach, inspiration – the whisper that quickens the heart and sharpens the intuition – arrives in different forms. “It’s usually something that’s spectacular about that moment; that’s when inspiration comes,” said painter Jeffrey Hull, owner of the Jeffrey Hull Gallery

and president of the Gallery Group, which organizes Spring Unveiling. The 17th annual festival features new works by artists from 11 Cannon Beach galleries, as well as art demonstrations, receptions and music throughout town. Local chefs will create “edible art” influenced by work from a gallery. Hull’s definition of a “spectacular moment” usually involves how light falls on a scenic landscape. On a morning beach walk, Hull was stunned by the way the light pierced through broken clouds, landing sharply on the ocean, while deep purple flooded the sky. “It was incredibly dramatic,” Hull said. But dramatic landscapes are everywhere on the North Coast, he noted.

“What pushes it over is the lighting.” Sculptor Melissa Cooper didn’t even know she was being inspired while growing up on her parents’ Arabian horse ranch in Colorado. She never thought about sculpting her own work while helping out her dad with his sculpture at a foundry for 10 years. “But one year I decided to make my dad a Christmas present, and that started my love for the medium,” said Cooper, whose wildlife sculptures are in the Bronze Coast Gallery. While she sculpts foxes, grizzlies and horses, much of her work involves birds, which stir her imagination. “Birds are a real joy to me, really all wildlife is. It’s a chance meeting that gives me pleasure,” Cooper said.

‘THE MUNDANE AND THE EXTRAORDINARY’

For Eli Mazet, who will participate in Spring Unveiling for the first time by demonstrating his glass-blowing skills at Dragonfire Gallery, inspiration came through another medium: pottery. His brother taught pottery at the University of Oregon and later turned to glass-blowing. Fascinated by the art, Mazet developed his own glass-blowing skills over several years. He and his two brothers operate Mazet Studios in Springfield, Oregon.

MAY 4, 2017 // 11

CONTINUED FROM PG. 10 His book, “The Contemporary Shot Glass,” traces the history of the shot glass and contains photos of more than 70 shot glasses created by 40 artists. His ideas for his shot glasses – often decorated with lifelike eyes – and other glass creations in the shape of sea creatures originate from a variety of sources. “I often dream when I am awake,” Mazet said. “My ideas come from the constant race in my head, an addiction that is compulsive and taken from the world around me: painters, potters, tattoo artists, Mother Nature, sci-fi and so on.” Painter Josef Kote also pays attention to the random impressions he absorbs. “I am inspired by visuals and sounds that linger in my mind long enough to acknowledge,” said Kote, who paints cities, portraits and marine life. “Something very simple, like the way the light of dusk falls on an object or a face can trigger that. “Particularly in nature there is a lot to pull from so far as color and the nuances of energy and vibes in a landscape or city,” he said. “Working as a full-time artist, I can’t wait for inspiration to find me; I have to seek it out.” He seeks to capture everyday life, wheth-

er it is in his paintings of the city or in the marine art that will be displayed at Modern Villa Gallery. This is Kote’s first Spring Unveiling. “The mundane and the extraordinary can be both a source of beauty and inspiration; it all depends on how you see it,” Kote said. “Sometimes ideas about how to express something I have seen or felt will sit with me for awhile, and other times they will emerge almost immediately.”

ANIMAL EXPRESSION

Cowboy artist Tolley Marney calls that inner whisper “compulsion.” “I have to do it,” said Marney, whose horse sculptures are available at Northwest By Northwest Gallery. “The compulsion is fed by my need to communicate and express myself through what I can make with my hands. “Instead of words forming themselves in my mouth, I am more at ease with the shapes and colors around me forming themselves into something that transmutes through my hands into the shapes and colors of steel and wood.” The biggest challenge to his art, he said, is fear that he won’t be able to complete the sculpture that he started or that “what I see in my mind won’t come out through my

hands the way I want it to happen.” A former blacksmith, Marney has developed a lifelong relationship with horses. “Every time I build a piece, I’m explaining life to myself. In a way, I’m looking for belonging and connection and the meaning of life as I create,” he said. “It doesn’t matter how many pieces I make, when I’m done with a piece, no matter how much I love it, I feel like I am lacking, like I have more questions. As though the piece I just finished created new questions in me that compel me to sculpt again to seek those new answers.” For Brin Levinson, whose acrylic and oil paintings of urban scenes often contain incongruous birds or wild animals, the small details – the “cracks and moss” – he captures in photographs form the impetus for his dreamlike work. “I started painting the city, but I wasn’t interested in telling the story of people,” Levinson said. “I added animals to the scenes so there could be a narrative and an interesting juxtaposition. “The animals are curious about where they are, it’s a foreign place that needs to be figured out. They’re innocent and relatable. The urban landscape is a contrived system and a labyrinth of obstacles that animals don’t understand. They point out the absur-

dity and impermanence of the reality that we exist in.” This is Levinson’s first time showing at Spring Unveiling, where he will be represented at Archimedes Gallery. He will show some medium-sized pieces that remind him of the water, wind and the coastal air.

‘THE SMILES OF LIFE’

Hazel Schlesinger’s original inspiration came from Seaside School District art teachers Carla Babbey and Linda Campbell. The painter was born and grew up in the Cannon Beach area. “They pointed the way for me,” she said about her teachers. “I have painted with several master artists from around the world, but Linda and Carla were the two that inspired my direction. Schlesinger’s oil painting, “NW Squall” at Northwest By Northwest Gallery, was created following a “stormy April walk on the beach,” she said. “I paint images or scenes of thoughtful places. Places one might want to visit or be in at the moment to ponder to stay awhile or to just be,” she added. “I would like to think I paint the enjoyment, the beauty and the smiles of life and not the negatives that can ever so frequently be found in our world.”

14 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review

Fireman sandwich, homemade bread recommend Daisy May’s in Seaside Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

DAISY MAY’S SANDWICH SHOP

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

aisy May’s Sandwich Shop is tucked into the back corner of Seaside’s Outlet Mall. The shop’s logo — a spotted cow with a daisy flower in its mouth — offers a hint of what’s within: a little more country than coastal. Inside, the smell of baked bread wafts through the air. The deep rectangle of a restaurant is mostly quiet but for the hum of kitchen fans and appliances. It is spacious, bright and sparse. Maybe three or four times bigger than it needs to be, owner-operator Debbie Kay helps fill the room with a forthright, attentive charm. (The shop’s name is a nod to her father, who lobbied to name her “Daisy May.”) The menu is no frills: There are sandwiches, wraps, burgers, salads, soups, the occasional pastries and a few odds and ends for the kids. But really, it breaks down into two much more important categories: sandwiches made on Daisy’s fresh bread and all the rest. And, as if it needs saying: You want to go with the homemade bread. Shaped like kiddie pools, Daisy’s breads are wide, shallow rectangles, sliced once though the middle. They come in three varieties: French, wheat and focaccia, all of which are light, soft and airy, almost two inches tall before slicing. The French has a minimal, flaky crust. The wheat is rather mild, not too grainy. The focaccia is spongy, crumbly and buttery and it finishes with a fleck of rosemary. The bread being Daisy’s own is a big deal. It’s the foundation for all that follows. Over multiple trips, Debbie herself made every

sandwich I had. She did so with a delicacy (like slicing the onions just so) and a consistency (the strategic layering of ingredients) that a work-a-day, less invested staff member might overlook. That investment starts with the bread. One of Daisy’s most popular sandwiches is the Fireman ($9.50 for a whole, $6 for a half), which I fell for rapturously. As the plate was set before me a sharp, vaporous plume threw open the bay windows of my sinuses. My eyes widened at the barrel-chested sandwich’s vivid palette of deep green lettuces, pink meats (a mix of pepperoni, salami and ham), red tomatoes, white onions, medley of orange, yellow banana peppers and green pickled pepperoncinis and jalapeños. The perky, spicy acids and their briny juices swirled with the fatty, salty meats and melted cheeses in a marvelous dance on Daisy’s bread, the luscious and the sharp edged, hand in hand. The sandwich took me back. I remember, many years ago, working in an office above a mall, the Fifth Street Market in Eugene. I remember the necessity of the

hushed, escapist lunch breaks, and thought to myself: If I worked at or around the Outlet Mall I’d spend so many lunch hours at Daisy May’s — both looking forward to, then finally devouring, that splendid sandwich. Daisy May’s other most popular sandwich, the towering Country Club ($9.50 for a whole, $6 for a half), too, was thoughtfully assembled, with a different cheese — cheddar and Swiss — melted on each side. Then came layers of thick bacon, roast beef and ham, with vegetables in the center. As with any worthwhile sandwich, the ratios were right on. Nearly as tall as it was wide, it was a brick of gooey, salty delight (though no Fireman!). The sandwiches on Daisy May’s breads are substantial, as much a sub as something you find at a deli. At Daisy’s, half sandwiches have nearly the same footprint as a full slice of your average store-bought bread. When you consider the height and weight, half sandwiches here approach burger-size. So a full sandwich at Daisy’s is almost like two of the everyday variety. It’s also worth mentioning that, while

teeming, sandwiches at Daisy’s stay together; they’re built to remain within the package rather than tumble out the sides. Each sandwich, wrap or burger comes with a pickle and a bag of chips. For $1.50 more you can choose from a side salad, jojos or tater tots. In my visits, I tried both the salad — colorful, adequately fresh — and the tots which, when paired with a full sandwich, rivaled the weight of any burger and fries. You’ll be beyond full. As I strayed from sandwiches built on Daisy’s bread, I found the results regressing toward the mean. The wraps, though heartier than the ones you find in airport coolers, were nothing to write home about. All were bundled in big, green, burrito-sized, spinach tortillas that tasted nothing at all like spinach. The best thing about the Turkey ($8.95), with cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion, was the way the onions were cut thin. The Italian, with salami, pepperoni, Canadian bacon and Italian dressing and veggies, was thick with melted cheese. Each wrap would’ve been better with the house bread. But for a mere 55 cents more, the second tier of “Special” sandwiches, like the Country Club and Fireman, rendered these well-trodden standbys all but obsolete. There’s nothing really to

condemn in the cheeseburger ($8.95) — drive-thru style with more flavorful Angus beef — but there’s nothing much to recommend it, either. Though it wasn’t on Daisy’s bread, I did try the Classic Reuben ($9.50), generally one of my favorite sandwiches. And I get that it doesn’t make sense to bake loaves of rye for one sandwich. Nevertheless, the Reuben — with slippery, paper-thin sliced pastrami, and sauerkraut dulled by loads of sweet Thousand Island — left me wanting.. If I could do it over, I’d have gotten it on the house wheat. But, really, I’d already found my happy place at Daisy’s: the Fireman. And while you might discover your own less spicy goto, I’ll bet they have something in common: Daisy’s bread. Not to mention Debbie Kay herself assembling it just so.

Artist residency applications now being accepted ASTORIA — Astoria Visual Arts and Recology Western Oregon are looking for artists to take up the Coastal Oregon Artist Residency, a program focused on creating art from materials from Recology’s Astoria Recycling Depot and Transfer Station. The two summer 2017 residencies on offer will begin Monday, July 17. The submission deadline is Sunday, June 4. “RWO and AVA teamed up last year to create the residency with the goal of promoting new ways for people to think about art, the environment and reclamation,” Fred Stemmler, general manager of Recology Western Oregon, said in a release. “The first two (residency) artists were amazing – the work they created blew us and everyone else away. It was a great experience for all involved, and we look forward to welcoming two new artists this year.” The three-month residency gives selected artists access to discarded materials, a stipend of $400 per month and a large studio space at the Recycling Center. The

artists also enjoy weekday “scavenging privileges” and access to the on-site studio. At the conclusion of the residencies, Recology and Astoria Visual Arts host a reception and public exhibition for the artists that showcase the artwork produced. The artists will be asked to contribute one piece of artwork to the program’s permanent collection.

Established in 2016, the residency is open to artists working in any style or medium and who live in Clatsop and Tillamook Counties in Oregon, and Pacific and Wahkiakum Counties in Washington. Application details and more information can be found on the Astoria Visual Arts website: astoriavisualarts.org

The Coaster presents Neil Simon’s odd (married) couple CANNON BEACH — “Barefoot in the Park,” the romantic-comedy by Neil Simon (best known for “The Odd Couple”), opens at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse at 7:30 p.m. Friday, May 5, and runs through Sunday, May 28. Simon’s play follows a pair of newlyweds,

Corie and Paul, as they begin married life in a small apartment in a Manhattan brownstone. They learn that marriage isn’t as easy as it looks, and must reconcile their differences — he is a straight-arrow lawyer, she a spontaneous free-spirit — while contending with a

less-than-perfect house, an oddball neighbor and Corie’s well-meaning mother. Directed by Sheila Shaffer, and starring Katherine Lacaze and Richard Bowman as the young couple, the play, if it were a movie, would be rated PG for mild adult themes, the Coaster cautioned.

Gov. Tom McCall looks at the Cannon Beach motel that ignited the discussion of Oregon’s beach laws in 1967.

Cannon Beach commemorates Beach Bill signing’s 50th anniversary CANNON BEACH — In honor of the 50th anniversary of the signing of Oregon’s Beach Bill, Cannon Beach will hold a day-long series of celebratory events Saturday, May 13. Master sand sculpting team Form Finders will construct a sandcastle more than 6-feet tall. There will be beach bicycling and standup paddle boarding demonstrations. Meanwhile, the city’s Haystack Rock Awareness Program will offer tide pool interpretive information; spotting scopes will be on hand to view tufted puffins and other seabirds nesting on the rock. Geologist Tom Horning, working with the North Coast Land Conservancy, will hold a guided hiking tour on the beach, from Haystack Rock to Silver Point. Local and state dignitaries will give presentations

at the Gower Street beach access, where the design plan for a Beach Bill-related public art project will be revealed, event organizers said. Slater Smith, of the Portland band The Weather Machine, will present the band’s collaboration with the state parks department: a music video shot at almost 200 state parks. Saturday’s festivities will conclude with a bonfire and free s’mores on the beach near the Gower Street access. Passed by the state legislature in 1967, the landmark Beach Bill ensured that all of Oregon’s beaches would remain public.

BOOK SHELF // GLIMPSE // WILDLIFE // POP CULTURE // WORDS // Q&A // FOOD // FUN the Anglo-Saxon surname, Coffinbury or Coffinberry, is most likely an occupational surname given to undertakers. Though there is no clear evidence of its origin, applying names to people based on their livelihood was a common practice. Coffin entered English prior to 1338 borrowed from the Old French, cofin, which meant“sarcophagus.”Despite its origin, the term in English originally applied to a basket or a chest. The first known reference in English to the term applying to a burial casket would be nearly two hundred years later in 1525. Bury comes out the Old English byrgan, which is a cognate with the Old High German verb bergan, meaning“to protect”or “to conceal.”The North Coast lake is named in honor of George Washington Coffenbury, an early pioneer who emigrated from Illinois to become a four-term county judge in Clatsop County following the creation of the Oregon Territorial Court in 1849.

CIRCLING THE GLOBE — SOME 400 YEARS APART By BARBARA LLOYD MCMICHAEL

Circumnavigating the globe takes a commitment of time and resources that is practically inconceivable to most of us in today’s hurly-burly society. But this week we’ll take a look at two books about round-theworld voyages: one occurred forty years ago, and the other was the first recorded feat of circumnavigation, which happened in the 16th century. In “Magellan’s Navigator,” Kenneth D. Schultz, an author from Poulsbo, Washington, provides a new angle on the bold but trouble-plagued Armada of the Moluccas, a naval expedition of five ships that sailed from Seville in 1519 to develop a westbound route around the Americas and across the Pacific Ocean to the Spice Islands. Instead of focusing his tale on Ferdinand Magellan, the expedition leader who was murdered in the Philippines, Schultz tells the story

“Years later, [Chris] Lang has returned to begin working on his fourth feature film: ‘Coffenbury Lake.’Though not the same lake as the one that inspired the film, the name ‘Coffenbury’and the atmosphere — surrounding trees with green moss dangling from their limbs — seemed apt for a horror movie, Lang said.” —Jack Heffernan, “At Coffenbury Lake, horror is in the name,”The Daily Astorian, April 20, 2017 “The Mayflower took the Coffenbury funeral party round to Greenwood yesterday.” —“Along the Water Front,”The Daily Astorian, July 16, 1895, P. 3

Magellan’s Navigator – Kenneth D. Schultz Olympicvista Publishing – 270 pp - $9.99/paperback, $6.50/Kindle from the perspective of the captain’s ﬁrst mate. Out of the hundreds of sailors who began the voyage, Francisco Albo was one of only 18 men who came back aboard the sole ship that actually completed the circumnavigation. Working from what Schultz purports are recently discovered journals written in Albo’s own hand, the author reconstructs the three-year voyage – from crew recruitment, through tumultuous days in uncharted waters, to ragged return. Greed, fear, distrust and frustration run as rampant on the voyage as the rats that scuttle through the ships’ holds. While Magellan’s sailing

Sea Trials – Wendy Hinman Salsa Press – 434 pages - $20/paperback, $5.99/eBook

acumen is admirable, Albo looks on helplessly as his captain makes fatal mistakes in the management of his own men and in his encounters with other cultures. Reminiscent of other seafaring books such as “Two Years Before the Mast,” “Magellan’s Navigator” is unsentimental, muscular writing, packed with tension and adventure. Four hundred years later, the only kind of spice Chuck and Dawn Wilcox seek as they leave the West Coast on their 40-foot sailboat is the spice of life: foreign countries, exotic cultures, adventure! They’re taking their kids along with them; 14-year-old Garth is eager to take to the high seas, while

younger sister Linda moves from initial skepticism about the plan to outright resentment. Four decades later, Garth’s wife, Wendy Hinman, recounts her in-laws’ adventures in “Sea Trials: Around the World with Duct Tape and Bailing Wire.” The family dallies in Tonga and the Seychelles, the Greek isles and Madeira, but, as the book’s subtitle suggests, just as much of their time seems to be taken up with regular maintenance and impromptu boat repair. Even with significant advance preparation, the Wilcox family suffers unanticipated mishaps along the way: sharks, quicksand, minefields, even their own shipwreck. Their planned four-year voyage turns into five years. And family ties are strained to the breaking point. A Bainbridge Island-based author and herself a sailor who has logged many thousands of miles of ocean sailing, Hinman writes with affection and empathy about the people who eventually became her family. Readers may have less patience with the family dynamics, but this is still a remarkable story about perseverance. The Bookmonger is Barbara Lloyd McMichael, who writes this weekly column focusing on the books, authors and publishers of the Pacific Northwest. Contact her at bkmonger@nwlink.com
