The Great Birthright Below is an excerpt from Coast Weekend contributor Matt Love’s debut novel, “The Great Birthright.” The premise of the book is that a Los Angeles developer, in league with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, is trying to have Oregon’s famous 1967 Beach Bill constitutionally overturned as part of a sinister plan to privatize the state’s publicly owned beaches. And only one writer, Love, and detective, Tom West, can stop him.
S
Several days went by before Love made his way out to the Mad Dog Tavern outside of Newport. It was a Saturday afternoon, and Love drove the bay road in a slashing rain while Sonny the old husky snoozed beside him. Love had pulled off a great week in the classroom, and, naturally, it had something to do with the beach. A new student had appeared in Creative Writing, and Love had asked him where he had moved from. The boy, a senior named Steve, said, “Nebraska.” “Nebraska!” Love had roared, the class roaring even louder. There had also been a few mumbled insults about corn. Love had calmed them down and learned that Steve’s mother had taken a new job as a nurse at Newport’s hospital. Love asked him what he thought of the beaches. It was his stock question to every transfer. “I haven’t been yet. I’ve actually never seen the ocean. We just got in a few days ago and found our apartment,” said Steve. “You’re joking,” said Love. “No. I’ll probably go see it this weekend.” “You’re going right now.” “Now? During class?” “Call it a ¿eld trip.” “What about a permission slip?” “Oswald West gives you permission. The ocean doesn’t care.”
Steve had had no response to that. He’d appeared sort of frightened and seemed to suddenly miss boring corn¿elds and worksheets. Love had announced to the class Steve’s obvious sickness and immediate remedy. His students nodded silently. They knew the drill. They were a trained army. In 10 minutes they would rally at Nye Beach and execute Operation Great Birthright, as they had so many times before. Love also told them to bring wood, oil and a hacky sack. He’d round up Sonny for the indoctrination. Steve was going to see the ocean for the ¿rst time and experience his ¿rst beach bon¿re ² at nine in the morning. Naturally, at the bon¿re, a complete stranger had showed up, claimed alien abduction, and pulled out a harmonica to entertain the students. That’s what made free public beaches in Oregon so wonderful. Steve’s cure was the highlight of Love’s teaching life during the week. He experienced another one in his creative life as well. Actually, it was more of an epiphany. He never saw it coming, which often happens when you visit the beach in moments of joy or distress. Anything can happen. It started with two letters received on Wednesday afternoon from national publishers rejecting two different manuscripts about Oregon subjects. It was always the same reason ²
too regional. Whenever he read these rejections, Love swore he would never submit to a national publisher again, and then a year or so later, he would. He had admitted to himself that he wanted to reach a larger audience. He believed he had unique Oregon stories and an original voice that could do it. People in New York disagreed, or they didn’t say anything at all. After reading the second letter, Love loaded up Sonny in the truck for a visit to his local beach. It was the only way he could recover ² to converse with the sea. Art was on his mind, as in: What does an artist do when he submits his art to the national artistic establishment in the hope of reaching a wider audience but the establishment consistently rejects his art? Does he quit? Does he retrench and keep trying? Does he take his art in a new direction hoping to please the establishment? Does he embrace the role of maverick and put out his art his own way? Love had been doing the maverick shtick a long time. He was tired of it, and damn near broke. They took their familiar path to the beach. Love looked out to the ocean and noticed the tide was coming in fast, churning brown with lots of foam for good measure. He jogged out to the sand and pivoted north to the Yaquina Head Lighthouse. But the lighthouse never came into view. Instead, Love beheld a series of some 50 sculptures, structures and altars of varying size and shape, all made from driftwood, burnt, barnacled or slimy smooth, all constructed and spaced within a 40-yard stretch of sand at the base of the cliff. As he approached, he noticed large words etched in the sand: Sea God Beware!!! Dance! Love moved closer to inspect. Over the
years, he had walked into a lot of mysteries on Oregon’s beaches (and enacted a few himself), but this was like nothing he had ever seen. He gave a gentle kick to one of the driftwood pillars, expecting it to budge easily. It did not. It was buried three feet deep, as were most of the other sculptures. (verything was ¿rmly anchored in the sand and the amount of work required astonished Love. He and Sonny had visited this very beach 12 hours earlier, and there had been nothing but scattered wood. A wave swept in and soaked Love’s shoes. He didn’t hear it washing ashore. In a half hour, the incoming tide would batter the installation and, in time, collapse it. Love realized that he might be the only person lucky enough to see this mystery. Someone didn’t care if they reached a wider audience for whatever it was he was trying to do. Someone didn’t care if another person saw his art. He made it because he felt like it. Or had to. Who had the time to do this? Who had this great notion to blow people’s minds, or perhaps only his own? Love called out to Sonny and started for home. He gave a silent thanks to the person or persons who made the art. He was never going to quit writing and publishing, and he wanted to pattern his future projects on the metaphor provided by the Sea God. And what the hell, maybe it wasn’t even a metaphor. Maybe it could serve as a political strategy in a ¿ght to save the beaches ² blow minds with mystery and ephemeral presence. Love knew with all his heart that if Oregon’s beaches became even partially privatized, the mysteries he randomly encountered there that had brought him so much mystery achievement in his life, would soon vanish like the middle class in America had vanished in his lifetime. It was time to go to work. Matt Love is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon. His books are a vailable through coastal bookstores or nestuccaspitpress.com

Known to fruit well into December, “fairy rings� of the Amanita muscaria, which grow in circular patterns, can be a common woodland sight.
loids, ingestion of this mushroom has a long history of use in the shamanistic practices of Siberia and northern Europe, as well as India and Iran, where it was revered as a sacred hallucinogen. But take note: Belonging to the same family as the fatal Death Cap and Destroying Angel mushrooms, while A. muscaria isn’t as toxic, it can cause severe psychotropic poisoning and must be handled with extreme caution or, better yet, avoided entirely; this is a mushroom best enjoyed with the eyes alone.

he harbors are full of characters, silent and strong. Each one’s got a story, but it’s pretty hard to tease it from a boat. In Hammond’s basin, recently repaired and maintained by Astoria Marine Construction Company, the halibut schooner Arrow is moored, a remarkable example of the heavy, slippery-hulled wooden long-liners built in Puget Sound boatyards nearly a century ago. “Dave Kelly owns it,â€? says AMCCO’s Tim Fastabend. “He’s always taken care of it. He’s adamant about that.â€? About 160 of these graceful boats were built, cabin aft, crew quarters or “foc’s’leâ€? forward. Their names are legendary: among them, Attu, Aleutian, Polaris, 7KRU 5HVROXWH 7RUGHQVNMROG 7HQ RU VR DUH Âż VKLQJ VWLOO “It’s pretty much an original, in amazing shape for its age,â€? says Fastabend. “If you’re living on it, it’s just like you’ve stepped back into the ‘30s or ‘40s. No microwave. Just an oil stove and 32 volt lights.â€? Despite nearly a century of hard duty, carefully corked and painted, its wooden masts varnished, Arrow looks as ready for the season as Babe Ruth, in a clean, pressed woolen uniform, waiting in the on deck circle. Clear across town in Astoria’s East Mooring Basin a trio of modern trawlers is tied up waiting for tough weather to lie down. If Arrow is Ruth, then these steel boats — Sojourn, Ocean Beaut and Cassandra Anne — each painted crisply in white and royal blue, could be the top of the Kansas City batting order. 7KH\ Âż VK \HDU URXQG PDNLQJ WKUHH WR Âż YH GD\ trips, in federal waters three miles or more offshore, on HLWKHU VLGH RI WKH 5RFNÂż VK &RQVHUYDWLRQ $UHD D FORVHG strip of water between the 100 and 150 fathom lines.

It was one of those unceasingly dark, stormy days we’ve seen all too much of lately: The rain was coming down in sheets, and the wind whipped it sideways. Everywhere you went you had to be mindful of it — holding on to your hat, making sure the car door wouldn’t be blown shut, and hopscotching to avoid plunging ankle-deep LQWR RYHUĂ€ RZLQJ SXGGOHV DQG JXWWHUV 5XQQLQJ errands in Astoria in the midst of this mess, I thought maybe a meal might warm and lift my spirits. Perhaps a steaming hot bowl from Tokyo Teriyaki might do the trick? I took off my raincoat and sat down in the long, yellow, skeletal dining room and began pursuing the menus — one for teriyaki, one for sushi. The restaurant was mostly empty, save for D FRXSOH TXLHWO\ GLQLQJ 3RS URFN UDGLR Âż OOHG WKH silence. With so many items on the two menus (mostly choices of meat served with either white or fried rice, yakisoba or ramen noodles) I asked for guidance. The server recommended the Spicy Chicken Teriyaki plate ($9.50), if I liked spicy stuff. And certainly I do. The dish arrived with a mound of uniformly sliced, charbroiled strips of chicken breast, onions and a few long chutes of green onion, all covered in the house-made teriyaki sauce. On the side were two round dollops of sticky white rice and a lump of steamed vegetables — cabbage, carrots and broccoli. The chicken itself was well cooked, just blacked on the edges, and the teriyaki sauce was balanced, not too sweet. It didn’t quite live up to its “spicyâ€? billing, but on this frigid day the actual temperatures of the dish — as measured in degrees — were more dispiriting. While the chicken was served not entirely hot, the steamed vegetables were hardly above room temperature — a bit ironic as they’d been steamed so long as WR VZHDW RXW DOPRVW DOO WKHLU Ă€ DYRU 7KH OLPS VRJ gy, tasteless cabbage seemed like it’d be more at home in the sad pots of the castle dungeon.

cleaner, more modern and welcoming. The food and menu, however, were duplicate. In these subsequent trips, the Spicy Chicken remained the standout. The fried Yaiksoba noodles ($8.50) had a subtle bit of perky seasoning that I found enjoyably vexing (the kitchen couldn’t explain what it was, as the owner creates the sauces, and the recipes are apparently kept secret). But the deep-fried tofu I had with them was squishy and sad. It more resembled having been steamed. Also, for no good reason whatsoever, the noodles came with a dollop of white rice. I had marginally better luck with the Beef Short 5LE 7HUL\DNL %RZO 7KH EHHI KDG D QLFH char while remaining tender, though it was marred by too many globs of rubbery fat and gristle.

Coaster Theatre to hold auditions for psychological play, charming musical CANNON BEACH — The Coaster Theatre will hold auditions for two plays Monday, Nov. 30 and Tuesday, Dec. 1. The theater is located at 108 N. Hemlock St. The ¿rst play, ³Dead Guilty,” directed by Edward James, is a tense psychological study of guilt and obsession. Auditions will take place from 6 to 8 p.m. at the theater Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. Auditionees will be asked to read scenes from the play. Rehearsals will begin Dec. 14. Performances will run Jan. 29 to Feb. 20.
Characters include Julia Darrow, a 30-something graphic designer; Margaret Haddrell, a 50-year-old widow; Gary, a handyman in his 20s or 30s; and Anne Bennett, a 25-to-35year-old psychological counselor. ³Dead Guilty” concerns a young graphic artist whose leg is badly injured in a car crash that occurred when a business associate suffered a fatal heart attack at the wheel. Housebound and depressed, Julia is tormented when things disappear, a Mexican orange
blossom materializes on her shambling Victorian terrace, and someone prowls upstairs at night. While a kindly counselor contends with Julia’s manic tendencies and a besotted handyman helps around the house, the excessively solicitous widow invades Julia’s life. Suspense builds as the question becomes whether the affair Julia was enjoying with her nowdead colleague will cost her her own life. The second play, ³The Apple Tree,” directed by Patrick Lathrop, is a witty and charm-
ing collection of three miniature musicals written for one woman, two men and a small chorus. Auditions will take place from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Nov. 30 and Dec. 1. If you cannot make these audition times, contact Lathrop at executivedirector@ coastertheatre.com to make an appointment for an alternate audition time prior to Nov. 30. Auditionees should prepare a one-minute song and bring the music in the correct key. If you don’t have a song, you may sing ³Happy Birthday.” All au-
ditionees will have their vocal range tested at auditions. In addition to their prepared song, auditionees will read from the script, move a little, and possibly do some physical improvisation. The director is looking for versatile actors and strong singers. The ages for all characters is Àexible. Performances will take place March 4 to April 16. The songwriting team behind ³Fiddler 2n The Roof” and ³She Loves Me” wrote the tuneful and charming musical ³The Apple Tree.” The show is
made up of three musical miniatures: ³The Diary 2f Adam And Eve” is a quirky, touching spin on the tale of the world’s ¿rst couple adapted from Mark Twain’s ³Extracts From Adam’s Diary”; ³The Lady 2r The Tiger?” is a rock ‘n’ roll fable set in a mythical barbarian kingdom and explores the ¿ckleness of love; ³Passionella” is based on Jules Feiffer’s offbeat Cinderella-story about a chimney sweep whose dreams of being a ³glamorous movie star” nearly sabotage her one chance for true love.

Q What is THC? A THC increases appetite and reduces nausea. The FDA-approved THC-based medications are used for these purposes. THC may also decrease pain, inflammation (swelling and redness) and muscle-control problems.*
