I
recently had the chance to head south and explore the southern stretch of Oregon’s North Coast. A carload of friends and I made the trip down to Manzanita one evening. The drive from Astoria is long – almost an hour. (Part of the length involves traveling through Oswald West State Park, which you can read more about on page 4.) But at least your arrival is abrupt. Turning off Highway 101 into town, we were immediately greeted by a “Homemade pies!” sign and the quiet, cozy vibe of a coastal town after dark. Our mission: to hear a concert at Vino, a tiny wine bar just off Laneda Avenue. Though diminutive in size, Vino was not only packed with people but also crammed with character. Everything from the art on the walls to the many bottles behind the bar and the cheery atmosphere were a welcome experience. The musical duo in question (Ryan Pedersen and Thomas William) played folksy-rock guitar and banjo music to a dancing and enthusiastic crowd. Vino often has live
music, and though it’s a bit of a drive, the experience is worth it. After the show ended, we were drawn down to the beach by the large, low-hanging yellow moon and its light that danced across the dark We were ocean. The sand drawn down was a bit too cold to the beach for bare feet, but by the large, fortunately, some low-hanging friendly out-oftowners were yellow moon happy to share their fire with us. I’ve always heard good things about Manzanita. I know
Portlanders and Eugenians alike who rave about it as a coastal gem. On my next visit I’ll be sure to see it during the day. My other southern exploration involved a day meandering along Hemlock Street in Cannon Beach. Before this, I hadn’t had much chance to investigate the town. But my visiting parents provided the perfect reason to head south. We enjoyed the galleries, the knick knack shops, and lunch and dinner full of fresh seafood (something that is still a novelty for me, a Portland-area native).
One shop that caught our interest in the Cannon Beach Mall was Sesame and Lilies, an interior decor store full of fun furniture, beachy accessories and shades of seascape. We ended the day walking on the beach in the bright sunlight, flirting with the waves.

Oswald West STATE PARK
The natural legacy of a pioneering Oregon lawmaker
O
Oswald West State Park is a place of boundless natural beauty: winding trails, lush undergrowth, regal trees, and breathtaking vistas of sea and sand. Stretching along four miles of coastline between Arch Cape and Neahkahnie Mountain, this 2,500-acre preserve is the Oregon Coast’s Walden, a place of quiet contemplation and regenerative power. Like its namesake, a former Oregon governor, it is an essential link to the state’s legislative history. Born in 1873, Oswald West was raised in Salem. In 1911, he was elected the 14th governor of Oregon. During his one term, he proved to be a proactive legislator, most notably in his establishment of the state’s beach highway law. It proclaimed the entire Pacific coastline – today’s U.S. Highway 101 – a public highway, effectively preserving scenery for future generations. For laying this foundation, Oregon writer Gov. Oswald West estabStewart Holbrook labeled West “by all lished Oregon’s beach highodds the most brilliant governor Oregon way law. – SUBMITTED PHOTO ever had.” The park that bears West’s name saw its genesis in 1931 when 118 acres were donated to the state of Oregon under the name of Short Sands Beach State Park. A flurry of donations and purchases followed, and the park was renamed in 1958 to honor Gov. West’s landmark efforts on behalf of Oregon’s beaches. With the park in place, others would step forward to ensure it was able to live up to the standards West had envisioned. Matt Kramer, a journalist for the Associated Press, penned a series of articles extolling West’s vision of publicly accessible beaches. This led to overwhelming support for the Beach Bill, passed in 1967 behind Gov. Tom McCall. A memorial honoring Kramer’s efforts overlooks Short Sands Beach, reminding passersby of the power of the pen as they take in the bounty of the surrounding natural treasure. The memorial reads: “The people of Oregon hereby express their gratitude to Matt Kramer of the Associated Press, whose clear and incisive newspaper articles were instrumental in gaining public support for passing of the 1967 Beach Bill. This landmark legislation guarantees forever the public’s right to the 4 | October 4, 2012 | coastweekend.com
free and uninterrupted use of one of Oregon’s most popular recreation attractions, its ocean beaches.” Oregon author Matt Love recognizes the significance of Kramer’s reports in keeping West’s vision in the public eye. “He kept reporting on the near-fatal death of the Beach Bill,” Love said. “His work galvanized the public attention that kept the bill alive.” Today, the park’s stunning beauty continues to draw visitors who share in Governor West’s ideals with each visit. Though camping is no longer permitted, there are endless trails that offer hikers of every skill level something at which to quietly marvel. A trail winds up Neahkahnie Mountain for a magnificent view of the Pacific and the communities to the south. Another runs north from Cape Falcon on a beautiful stretch up to Arch Cape. The 2mile Cape Falcon Trail begins at the northwest parking lot along Highway 101, and a short half-mile hike gives way to a brilliant overlook of Short Sands Beach. There, the trail forks to Cape Falcon, where on a clear day, you can see north to Tillamook Head and south to Cape Lookout. For the more adventurous, a 13-mile stretch of the Oregon Coast Trail winds through the park, from Arch Cape to Manzanita. The most accessible of the trails, Short Sands Beach Trail, winds through old growth from the south parking lot and lands hikers at a serene picnic area. Here, you find the essence of the park; swaying trees, gentle waves and endless opportunities for driftwood fort-building. It’s a popular cove with surfers, and several are always bobbing in the waves. During summer months, it is a crowded stretch of soft sand where families build sandcastles and play Frisbee; in the fall and winter, it quiets considerably as it waits for thundering surf and lashing rains. The beauty of Oswald West State Park is not limited by season. Thoreau wrote, “Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.” Oswald West State Park offers visitors that chance. It invites people to wander its paths and beaches, talk to its trees and streams, and sit among its ferns and rocks. In return for this boon, it asks us to speak softly when there is something to say, and say nothing when words aren’t needed. Tread lightly and pay attention. Show others the paths and trails and make them mindful of each turn. Above all, remember those who bestowed this gift to Oregon.
The hiking trails at Oswald West offer something for every skill level. – DAN HAAG PHOTO.

Peninsula Arts Association Fall art show at the World Kite Museum to highlight featured artist in diverse mediums, show art in 22 categories LONG BEACH, Wash. — Peninsula Arts Association has maintained an active and creative presence on the Long Beach Peninsula for 42 years. With a membership numbering 123 strong, many of these artists are busily preparing for the upcoming annual fall art show. Running from Friday, Oct. 5, through Monday, Oct. 8, the exhibition will be open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. As in past years, the World Kite Museum at 303 Sid Snyder Drive is the venue, and as with all PAA events, admission is free. The featured artist for the show is the Best in Show winner from the spring art show, Debra L. Kirk. Unlike some featured
artists in previous years, many of whom tend to work in a single medium, Kirk is more eclectic. She will present a retrospective of her work over the years, which includes a painting done at age 13 with an optimistic signature on the back noting, “worth one million dollars.” Several clay masks, a bust of her mother, textile work and drawings will join this early effort. Artists compete for ribbons in 22 categories, which reflects the wide and diverse talent of membership. Visitors to the show may vote for their favorite piece, with the winning artist receiving the People’s Choice ribbon on closing day.

he change of seasons has been in the air for a while now at the North Coast. Temperatures have dropped, and the light has thinned, casting lengthening shadows. When the sun is out, there’s often a golden cast to things. And, of course, trees are starting to shed their leaves. Autumn has arrived, and the season brings with it the promise of fall colors to be captured on film. So dust off those cameras, fall foliage enthusiasts. Deciduous trees are starting to shift from their spring and summer greens to bright gold, rich red and rusty orange. Actually, in Oregon, the dominant leaf colors are yellow and red, and the peak foliage time, on the average, runs from about mid- to late October. Be sure and check out a new blog dedicated to Oregon’s fall foliage (ff) at OregonFallFoliage.wordpress.com. You can get daily updates on the “ff” factor throughout the state. Dave Myers is an adjunct art instructor who teaches photography at Clatsop Community College. His take on leaf color this year? “The fall foliage probably isn’t going to be wonderful this year, but we can expect to get some color.” If you don’t want to waste your time, Myers advises keeping an eye on the weather and trees around where you live to increase your chances of pics that will yield bigger payoffs in terms of their wow appeal. In other words, don’t just head out looking for good leaf color; there will be indicators close at hand signalling when it’s time. Myers favors driving small roads out through the countryside. Old logging roads can be rewarding, he finds. Currently an Astoria resident, Myers lived in Eden Valley, Wash., for about 30 years. Subsequently, he knows plenty of promising spots for catching fall foliage that are relatively close by. He’s had good luck in the following areas: Youngs River Loop, Oregon Hwy. 202; from Olney to Jewel; Naselle, Wash. to Long Beach, including Rosburg, Wash.; From Seaview, Wash. around Willapa Bay, Wash.; Grays River, Wash., and Eden Valley, Wash.; Deep River, Wash. Myers likes taking little back roads that look like they’re heading into the hills. “You don’t want deep woods or open pasture. You’ll be looking for hills with vine maple … open enough to get good sun,” he maintains. In terms of tips for taking quality pictures, Myers recommends including a bit of green or maybe a tree trunk or two in your shot for contrast. “This makes the full colors stand out more. They (the leaves) are wonderful – the way they reflect the light, especially with the sun coming from over the shoulder,” he enthuses. ABOVE Fall color surrounds a walker heading west along Exchange Street near John Warren Field. – ALEX PAJUNAS PHOTO
Best
fall photos
Writers Liz Masoner, Kyle Schurman and Barry Baker are just three of the many photography resources available on the Internet. Following are highlights from the wealth of excellent tips they furnish online for fall foliage pics. The more direct light the better The brighter the leaves, the more impact your photo will have. Early morning and later afternoon when the angle of the sun is more pronounced is a great time for photos. Weather Bright sunshine a big help, but the time just after a rain can be special for fall photos. Rain washes pollution out of the air, rinses leaves and darkens tree bark. This can make the colors more intense and adds clarity. Exposure Bright fall foliage can reflect more light than green leaves, which can cause blown out highlights. To help prevent overexposing the leaves but keep intense colors, try underexposing about a 1/2 stop. Try different metering methods. A center-weighted average won’t work for all scenes just like multipoint metering may not work well for another scene. Test them out on your camera so that you’re comfortable finding the right one. Try a Filter There are several filters that can help your fall foliage photos pop. A color intensifier filter brings out the color, a UV filter clarifies by cutting through any haze in the air and a polarizing filter will remove reflections from water surfaces. Composition Don’t forget about good composition. Go back to some basics, e.g., the rule of thirds, natural framing, and point of view. These composition ideas can help your photos create visual impact.

ASTORIA — QFOLK/HIPFiSH monthly presents “Astoria QFilm Weekend” Friday and Saturday, Oct. 5 and 6, at KALA Performance Space. The firsttime event features three separate programs – Friday night, Saturday matinee and Saturday night – including two short features and a selection of short films. Event programmer Sid Deluca, in collaboration with the South Texas Underground Film Festival (LGBT programming) has assembled a diverse selection of works – from documentary to drama, comedy, music video and even science fiction – all from the queer perspective and experience. Fourteen films are scheduled, from low-budget D.I.Y. to big studio quality, and the program includes two West Coast premieres. The West Coast premieres include “The Marble Fawn of Grey Gardens,” a documentary based on Jerry Torre, who was the handyman, and an unsuspecting celebrity-to-be, in the life of Edith Bouvier Beale and her daughter “Little Edie.” They were the great-aunt and first cousin of Jackie Kennedy, themselves subjects of the revealing “Grey Gardens,” a documentary about their wildly eccentric lives in their crumbling East Hampton estate. Torre has proven, 30-some years later, to be equally fascinating. Filmmaker Jason Hay will answer questions following the
film. Yet another West Coast premiere is “Saltwater,” the Friday night short feature which explores the issue of “don’t ask, don’t tell” in the life of a former Navy enlisted man, in addition to his personal challenges of coming out. The film also marked the first leading role for actor Ian Roberts, the openly gay Australian rugby star. The filmmaker will also be in the house. Poignant short film “Embracing Butterflies,” from the Czech Republic, reunites two older women on a chance meeting, and rekindles childhood memories of a crush between them and a possible future love affair. Bollywood love story “You Can’t Curry Love,” lushly filmed in India and co-starring Indian soap star Rakshak Sahni, is about a man who finds surprising love on a business trip back to his homeland. And jumping right off the screen is Oakland, Calif. rap star JenRO, with her music-driven biographical coming out film, “Closet.” Portland queer band Mattachine Social, who played earlier this year at KALA, filmed a music video in Astoria, featuring the pre-boarded Flavel Home.

laude Monet declared, “I perhaps owe having become a painter to flowers.” Coming from one of history’s most renowned artists, that is high praise indeed. The quest to capture the fragile beauty of flowers has driven painters, sculptors, authors and gardeners for generations. The essence of that beauty will be in embodied by the orchid at the 16th annual Orchids by the Sea show and sale, Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6 and 7, at the Bob Chisholm Community Center in Seaside. Orchids have had plenty of time to develop into specialized organisms, developing more than 80 million years ago. While orchid flowers look exotic, they are primitive plants with a limited vascular system. This means rather bland foliage and pollen with limited distribution range. Not to be discouraged, the orchid has learned to “trick” surrounding pollinators into carrying their pollen from flower to flower with colors, shapes and smells. This has made the orchid family extremely prolific. According to the Oregon Orchid Society’s website, “Orchids are debatably the largest flowering plant family on Earth, with 30,000-plus species. Additionally, orchids are found on every continent on the planet except Antarctica.” Though often associated with the tropics, orchids thrive in an abundance of ecosystems. Oregon boasts more than 40 species of orchid – more than Hawaii. Sadly, their beauty was nearly their downfall. The Oregon Orchid Society notes that the species was nearly decimated by early demand for the flower: “During the mid-19th century Victorian era, ‘orchid hunters’ served to popularize the orchid among horticulturists but also plundered much native orchid habitat.” Though today’s orchid collectors largely preserve and conserve, there is still the concern that the flower’s popularity may push it to the brink. Many orchid regions – notably South America and Southeast Asia – remain unregulated, threatening the popular flowers. Lewis and Clark resident Kris Heckenberg has firsthand knowledge of this beautiful flower. A longtime chairman of the Sunset Empire Orchid Society, he has been an enthusiast for more than 30 years. “I bought my first orchid plant on a trip to Hilo in 1980,” Heckenberg said. “I had no idea how big it would get. I now have it in a five-gallon container and give starts away.” He quickly discovered he had a knack for growing orchids and a thirst for learning about them. “It’s very rewarding to see something so beautiful sustained by your efforts,” he said. The Sunset Empire Orchid Society was formed nearly 20 years ago by individuals who wanted to share their passion for orchids. “We
were interested in gathering information about orchids,” Heckenberg said. “This was still years before of vendors from the Pacific Northwest have widespread Internet access, and orchids were not readily available anywhere. They were a very rare item.” gone out of business.

two fall salads, one versatile dressing
J
ust because summer is over, that doesn’t mean it’s time to put salads on the back burner. Fall brings an earthy bounty of ingredients – from sweet, purple beets to tender winter squash – that just need a bit of help before making it into your salad bowl. Just because you usually don’t eat these vegetables raw doesn’t mean they can’t play a starring role in a salad. Spend a little time peeling and roasting a butternut or delicata squash, bringing out the vegetable’s sweetness and concentrating the flavors. Cut corn from the cob, slice zucchini into chunks and saute, then cool until you’re ready to build your salad. If there’s one well-loved recipe for salad dressing that goes well with practically every vegetable combination, it’s classic balsamic vinaigrette. It’s tangy and sweet, with a kick from garlic and a mellowing dose of Dijon mustard. Here are a few pointers to use when making fall salads: • Don’t feel like all ingredients need to be super chilled when putting your salad together. Sure, lettuce and other greens like the cold, but after being roasted or sauteed, many vegetables actually taste better at room temperature. • If you’re going to roast chunks of winter squash, make extra. You’ll have fixings for tomorrow’s salads ready. • Make your dressing early and allow it to sit at room temperature for a few hours to mellow before using. Make extra dressing, too. Store in a container in your fridge. • To toss or not to toss? Deciding whether to toss your salad ingredients in dressing or to serve on the side can be a tough call. Consider how long the salad is likely to sit before being eaten. If it will get gobbled right up, go ahead and toss. • These recipes are meant to serve six as a generous side dish or two to three as an entree. To make it a hearty meal, add a grilled chicken breast on top.
Beets, apples and chevre salad.
Roasted butternut squash, walnut and gorgonzola salad.
Roasted butternut squash, walnut and gorgonzola salad (serves six) INGREDIENTS 1 butternut squash (or your choice of winter squash), peeled, seeded and cubed into ½-inch squares 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil Sea salt and fresh-cracked black pepper 1⁄3 cup toasted walnut halves and pieces 1⁄3 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled About 4 cups cut lettuce or spring greens, cut into bite-size pieces, if necessary 1⁄2 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing (see recipe) DIRECTIONS Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Toss squash cubes in the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. On a baking pan, lay squash out into a single layer and roast until soft and lightly charred and crisp at edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Combine all ingredients except for cheese in a bowl and toss to coat in dressing. Using tongs, mound onto plates, stacking to create height. Garnish with the gorgonzola crumbles.
Beets, apples and chevre salad (serves six) INGREDIENTS 1 tart apple, cored, quartered, and sliced crosswise in thin slices 1 cup sliced beets, either blanched with skins removed or roasted 1⁄3 cup fromage blanc or chevre, crumbled About 4 cups washed baby greens, arugula or spinach ½ cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing (see recipe) DIRECTIONS Combine all ingredients except for cheese in a bowl and toss to coat in dressing. Using tongs, mound onto plates, stacking to create height. Garnish with the gorgonzola crumbles.
Balsamic vinaigrette INGREDIENTS 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar 2 teaspoons dijon mustard 1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt pinch fresh-cracked black pepper 1 clove fresh garlic, minced 1 teaspoon honey ¾ cup extra virgin olive oil DIRECTIONS In a small bowl, whisk together first six ingredients. Slowly add olive oil, starting with just a tablespoon, and whisk continuously as you add more. Stop adding oil if dressing starts to “break” and whisk until combined again. Will keep for up to three days, in covered container in refrigerator.

Science on Tap Program taps into the science of cold water ASTORIA — Much like in the movie “The Guardian,” U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Swimmers are the brave young men and women who hoist or free-fall from a helicopter into dangerous seas to perform daring rescues. Because the job is both physically and mentally taxing, rescue swimmers must have flexibility, strength, endurance and be able to function for 30 minutes in high seas. The Columbia River Maritime Museum’s next free Science on Tap program, “Hypothermia: Science, Sea Stories and Lessons Learned” at Fort George Brewery and Public House, will host Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer O’Brien Starr-Hollow. Starr-Hollow will share stories of ocean res-
cues and medical evacuations, and explain the cur- the importance of proper clothing. Be prepared to take away some rent science of good tips on surhypothermia/cold viving the cold. water immersion.

a la cARTe There is still time to submit original art for new event ASTORIA — The Liberty Theater will present “a la cARTe” Saturday, Nov. 10, a fundraising event to be held at the Astoria Railroad Terminal, also known as the “Train Depot.” This premiere event will allow guests to view the ongoing restoration of the Train Depot, as well as 150 pieces of original art for sale. The art will be a blend of different mediums – oil, watercolor, photography or anything that will fit on an 8-by-10-inch “canvas.” Each piece of art will be the same size, the same $99 price and an original created by local Northwest artists and
artists from around the world. The art will be signed on the back so that “viewershoppers” will not know who created each piece and will purchase based on love of the art itself. The artist name will be revealed upon purchase, with additional information about the artist and upcoming shows. The artist will be given information about the purchaser for contact. Final submission deadline is Oct. 15. This is the first event of this kind in the area and the art will be one of a kind. It promises to be a magical fall afternoon at the Train Depot along the Columbia River. Hours will be 2 to 5 p.m. with live
music and refreshments. The event is open to the public. Tickets are $25 per person and are available at the Liberty Theater box office, which is open 2 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. This event is in support of the Liberty Theater. If you choose to participate, you will receive two free tickets to any “LibertyTheater presents” performance in fiscal year 2012-13. For more information and the submission application, log on to www.liberty-theater.org and look under Announcements or call Betty Smith at 503-325-3211, ext. 238.

Congratulations to the Big Red Wave! Throughout the summer, the CMH/OHSU Cardiology Clinic held weekly “Heart Walks� in Astoria, Warrenton, Seaside and Long Beach. While the walks were a great opportunity for the public to meet our wonderful cardiology team, the idea behind the walks was to teach the local community that regular exercise can reduce your risk of heart disease. Participants in our Heart Walks celebrated the conclusion of a successful summer of improving and promoting heart health in our community by participating in the Great Columbia Crossing. You may have noticed them at the race wearing their red shirts. The CMH/OHSU Cardiology Clinic and crew would like to congratulate and thank all of our devoted walkers and runners who participated in the race and our Heart Walks all summer long. We not only appreciate your efforts at improving your heart health, but also your efforts at raising awareness about heart disease throughout our community. The CMH Heart Walks will commence again next May, everyone is welcome and the events are free, stay tuned for details.
