Explore Oregon Coast Trail in Seaside Seaside Public Library hosts Oregon author Connie Soper SEASIDE — Break out your hiking gear, and head to the Seaside Public Library on Thursday, Sept. 24. The Friends of the Seaside Library welcome Connie Soper, author of “Exploring the Oregon Coast Trail.” The event will take place in the Community Room at 7 p.m., and there will be book sales and signings presented by Beach Books.

If you have taken even a short walk on any beach in Oregon, you have been on the Oregon Coast Trail. This wonderfully scenic and diverse trail extends nearly 400 miles from the Columbia River to the California border, with over half those miles on sand.

“Exploring the Oregon Coast Trail” provides the information you need to complete the entire trail, or to enjoy segments of it as day hikes. This book also provides insights on chapters of Oregon’s coastal history that make hiking the trail a special experience.

Some highlights of the book are: detailed route descriptions for 40 day hikes, mile-by-mile maps, directions for reaching the start and end points of each hike, logistical information that will help navigate the trail, and

the history and personalities that make hiking this state jewel possible.

Soper, a Portland author, has hiked the entire OCT twice and has done extensive research to produce her book. Soper hopes it will inspire people to explore this beautiful natural resource.

Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway. For more information call 503-7386742 or visit www.seasidelibrary.org

North Coast Food Web serves up cooking classes ASTORIA — North Coast Food Web believes in the power of food to foster good health and to unite a community through the shared — often joyous — experience of cooking and eating together.

NCFW’s Cooking Up Community is a program of broad-reaching food experiences and classes, meant to instill and enhance cooking skills, a love of the art, and an appreciation for the farmers, ¿VKHUPHQ UDQFKHUV DQG IRUagers who are essential in the quest for food and economic security in rural communities.

The curriculum of one-off classes begins in September.

Multi-week courses will begin in October starting with D ÂżYH ZHHN FRXUVH RQ %DVLF Techniques launching Oct. 3.

Each class will top out at 12 students and will be a handson experience ending with a shared meal.

Classes for everyone from foodies to neophytes will include cooking for one or two, meals on a budget, addressing special dietary needs,

cooking for the week, entertaining, cooking with kids and more. “We believe that cooking and eating together enhances community health beyond the nutritional value of what we create; beyond the delight of planting, nurturing and harvesting something to eat; beyond the support we can engender for our local producers,� says North Coast Food Web board member Merianne Meyers. “Getting our hands on our food, preparing it with others, sitting at table with new friends we might never have met otherwise — that’s growing community.

It’s a delicious weapon in the war on hunger, a productive treatment for ill health and a celebration of the timeless art of food preparation.�

For registration information, go to northcoastfoodweb.org or call cooking class Coordinator Wendy D’Agostino at 503-468-0921 weekdays between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Scholarships are available.

Astoria drawing group puts on annual art show ASTORIA — Draw, a casual drawing group based in Astoria, will hold a group art show at Grace Episcopal Church from Sept. 18 to Nov. 5.

The public is invited to attend a reception at 11 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 20 in the church’s parish hall, located at 1545 Franklin Ave. Draw members live in or near Astoria and gather together bi-weekly to draw, sketch and paint.

The group has been meeting regularly since 2006 in many places around Astoria and the Columbia River, getting inspiration from the rich variety of subjects in nature,

ASTORIA — Astoria Art Loft will host Claudia Nice for Painting the Coast, a multi-day painting workshop this October.

Nice’s ¿rst class at the loft in April brought rave reviews, so she is returning to teach a master class on painting seascapes. The workshop will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 1 and from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Oct. 2 and 3. Cost is $260.

On the ¿rst day of the workshop, Nice will bring the group together for an introduction to the class, share her plan for helping students develop a painting, and take attendees to the beach to look at rocks, sand, and waves and make a few preliminary sketches.

There will also be samples of pictures to paint as well, and students are welcome to work from their own photos.

The second and third days of the workshop, students will start using acrylic paints (but pastels and watercolor are acceptable). Acrylic students can work on canvases. Nice will demo how to mix ocean bluegreens and how to make shadow colors. She will show how to make preliminary sketches

directly on canvas or paper.

At the workshop, Nice will take an acrylic painting of her own from start to completion so students can watch the progress. She will also show techniques for sand, water spray, foam and rocks.

Students will receive individual help as they progress.

Some knowledge of painting in the media of your choice is recommended.

Nice attended the University of Kansas but gained her realistic pen, ink and watercol-

or techniques from sketching nature. She spent over 15 years traveling across North America for Koh-I-Noor/Rapidograph and Grumbacher as an art consultant, conducting seminars, workshops and demonstrations at various schools, clubs, shops and trade shows.

National program encourages families to visit national parks ASTORIA — Lewis and Clark National Historical Park invites all fourth grade students to visit the park for free as part of the White House’s new Every Kid in a Park program.

As of Sept. 1, students can go to www.everykidinapark. gov website to complete an activity and obtain a free annual entry pass to more than 2,000 federal recreation areas, including national parks.

“During the National Park Service’s centennial celebration, we want everyone to get to know all of the national parks sites in the Paci¿c Northwest and nationwide. This is a special invitation to all fourth graders and their families to discover everything that national parks offer,” said Superintendent Scott Tucker. “We hope these free passes for fourth graders will introduce the students, their classes and families to these special places in their own backyard.”

Fort Clatsop has hosted thousands of fourth graders from throughout Oregon and Washington for school programs, such as Life at Fort and the day-long Class of Discovery. In Class of Discovery, fourth graders get to pull tallow candles, strike Àints and steels, and learn about other vital skills the Corps put to use during its rainy winter on the North Coast.

To receive their free pass for national parks, fourth graders can visit the Every Kid in a Park website and play a game to access their special Every Kid in a Park pass. Fourth graders and their families can then use this pass for free entry into national parks and other federal public lands and waters across the country from Sept. 1 through Aug. 31, 2016. The website also

includes fun learning activities aligned to educational standards, trip-planning tools, safety and packing tips and other helpful information for educators and parents.

The goal of the Every Kid in a Park program is to connect fourth graders with the great outdoors and inspire them to become future environmental stewards, ready to preserve and protect national parks and other public lands for years to come.

The program is an important part of the National Park Service’s centennial celebration in 2016, which encourages everyone to Find Your Park.

Every Kid in a Park is an administrative-wide effort, launched by President Barack Obama and supported by eight

federal agencies, including the National Park Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Education, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service and National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration.

"The Dresden Files" by Jim Butcher Recommended by DAN HAAG “The Dresden Files” series by Jim Butcher is a mish-mash of hard-boiled PI with supernatural elements, has been described as “Philip Marlowe meets ‘Buffy The Vampire Slayer’” and is an engaging mix of fun and chills. It’s a great series to dive into as fall approaches.

The series is 16 books and counting (the 17th comes out later this year). They deal with Harry Dresden, a private investigator and wizard-for-hire.

Beginning with 2000’s “Storm Front,” Dresden comes up against ghosts, were­ wolves, vampires, crooked cops, mobster barons and fallen angels. There’s also the pitfalls of family, romance and conscience. And a zombie Tyrannosaurs Rex. The books are for readers who are looking for something with a bit more edge than Harry Potter. But because Dresden is mostly a nerdy everyman, the books re­ main accessible enough to attract readers from outside the fantasy genre. It helps that they are written in the first-person, so Dresden talks directly to the reader.

Inside the jacket of Butcher’s books, his bio states he became a writer because “anything else probably would have driven him insane.” After reading the “Dresden Files” series, one gets the sense that he’s retained just enough of that insanity to tell these stories.

"The Boys in the Boat" by Daniel James Brown

Dark evenings and fall weather are around the corner.

Time to curl up in a cozy spot with a hot beverage in one hand and a good book in the other. Here, Coast Weekend contributors share some of their favorite reads.

"We Have Always Lived in the Castle"

by Shirley Jackson Recommended by RYAN HUME Is there any season more acquainted with rot than autumn? It is beautiful: the leaves are changing there’s a robust smell percolated by rain. That’s rot.

This is when we start thinking about braining pump­ kins or what we might get up to in our basements Considering this, I have a book for you — sweet and deadly, like autumn itself.

“We Have Always Lived in the Castle” is Shirley Jackson’s masterpiece of manners and monstrosity.

Jackson is probably best known for scarring the quaint code of New England with her 1948 short story, “The Lottery” (she is also the author of the classic “The Haunting of Hill House”), but “Cas­ tle, released in 1962, taints the quaint one hue darker, richer.

Here is the story of the remaining Blackwoods told by young Merricat, an 18-year-old girl who believes she could have been bom a werewolf, because “the two middle fingers on both my hands are the same ength. She lives in a dilapidated manor with an uncle and her sister, Constance, who has been acquitted of the murders of their immediate family but remains under the harsh scrutiny of the town.

In a stunningly off, first-person narrative, Jackson asserts you don’t have to be a murderer to be a monster.

BOYS I N

T H E

BOAT

Recommended by DWIGHT CASWELL Daniel James Brown met Joe Rantz, a rower who never lost a race in the eight-man scull and took gold in the 1936 Berlin Olympics, near the end of his life. He spent months interviewing the dying ath­ lete, who at the end told him that the book should not be about him alone. He said, “It has to be the about the boat.”

Not the elegant 60-foot cedar and spruce shell, but the men in it, the brotherhood of those men and the magic that happened when they rowed as though they were a single organism.

The genius of the book is that, although we know the University of Washington crew took gold, every race is suspenseful. Each time we ask, How can they win?

Brown also places the boys, their hardships and their spirit, in the context of the Great Depression. From economically distressed fam­ ilies of loggers, farmers and fishermen arose something of lasting greatness.

"Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance"

by Robert Pirsig Recommended by MATT LOVE For decades I’d seen copies of “Zen and the Art of Motor­ cycle Maintenance” by Robert Pirsig in bookstores, libraries, garage sales, thrift stores — everywhere. But I never both­ ered reading it until last spring when I found a worn edition entombed in a box of discarded books ready for the recycling center.

I don’t want to give too much away about “Zen” here, but the core of the story is Pirsig’s discursive and digressive motorcycle journey (with his troubled son) through the high country of the Western United States, including Eastern and Central Oregon, until he finally reaches the ocean in Northern California. This book, however, is so much more than a memoir of a motorcycle journey. It is a direct philosophical plunge into the very nature of human existence.

Many people reading this have read this counterculture classic. (It’s sold five 1 million copies and has never been out of print.) If you haven’t, you should, but not for a nostalgic return to 1974 when coffee was coffee and travelers needed paper maps and pay phones. Rather, read “Zen” to reappraise contemporary culture with a similar lens that Pirsig employed. You might t how shockingly modem this book sounds.

Matt Love lives in Astoria and is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including "A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide" and"The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel." They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com

Inferno Lounge Astoria eatery serves infused cocktails and small plates more suited for late-night snacking than dinner

N

ever would I have thought to soak peanuts in vodka. Nor would I have sought to craft a martini mimicking a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. Inferno Lounge, however, is anything but shy with its mixology aims.

Indeed, infused spirits are the raison d’être for the cocktail bar that opened earlier this summer on Astoria’s Pier 11. The minglings run the gamut, from the obvious (cucumbers and gin, pineapples and tequila) to the playful (Red Hots and whisky, Red Vines and vodka) to the head-scratching (peanuts and vodka).

Such concoctions are the work of owner and bartender Rich Ewing, a veteran in the industry.

(You may also know him as DJ Nacho Bizznez.)

Inferno, though, is Ewing’s ¿rst as primary stakeholder. And while there are a few edges yet to be smoothed, he’s off to a ¿ne start.

I went ¿rst on a busy )riday night in early August. The room was purposefully dark, lounge-y and a tad baroque, with red walls, twinkling chandeliers, and a heavy bar dotted with infused decanters. U-shaped booths offered private spaces for groups and couples. )rank Sinatra played on the stereo. But while the main room was enticing, I was drawn more to the simpler ambiance of the sub-section, underneath the tall windows overlooking the Columbia.

Our party of four began with cocktails. I asked Ewing to make me his signature drink, and he responded with the 0ango )lower Crush ($12), which he described as an upscale lemon drop. The recipe, which includes mango-infused vodka, St. Germaine liqueur and soda, apparently won him a best in show award at a European contest some years ago. The cocktail arrived up, well-shaken with a layer of shimmering pillow ice, and true to Ewing’s description: very much reminiscent of the lemon drop — bright, fruity, sweet and easy to drink. I appreciated the subtle twists, but found the sugariness a bit overwhelming. That isn’t to say that the Crush was watered-down — it packed a punch. As one of my companions exclaimed after a sip: “This is dangerous. I could slurp this right down.”

And from their glasses I tried a cucumber-gin martini and a pineapple-tequila margarita. The margarita carried a smoky undertone, perhaps containing mescal. The traditional pairing of cucumbers and gin was smooth, not overly sweet, and right up my alley. (It deserves mention, though, that Inferno’s drink menu needs

14 | September 17, 2015 | coastweekend.com

work. Rather than simply listing the current infused spirits and the suggestion that patrons “get creative,” Ewing should provide some more concrete examples.)

With drinks in hand, we poured over the menu. Most of the plates, which are served until close, are small. But reasonably priced, it was easy to ¿ll up. We went ahead and ordered most everything.

The Lettuce Boats ($6) were a favorite.

Cradling beef meatballs in a sweet-and-sour Thai chili sauce and served with a side of white rice, the dish smacked of island inspiration. The Pork Street Tacos ($6) were double-wide. Teeming with a lightly smoky shredded pork, the two light corn tortillas carried the equivalent of four tacos worth of meat.

A German sausage, the childishly named Exploding Wiener ($6) was hearty. It was wellcooked, with a light char on the casing, and juicy inside. It was dusted lightly with relish, and a few diced onions, but felt a little naked on the bun.

KEY TO RATINGS

poor below average good & worth returning excellent outstanding, the best in the Columbia-Pacific region

Mouth:

Continued from page 14 Some sauerkraut or sauce would be a welcome addition.

The quesadilla ($4) was as simple as can be. The grilled cheese and tomato soup ($6), one of the few items suitable for the vegetarian in our party, delighted. The shrimp in the cocktail ($7) was fresh, though the presentation (served down in a short dish) underwhelmed. I noticed nothing out of the ordinary with the tomato and lemon heavy charred oak vodka sauce. It was like cocktail sauce to me. The side salad ($4) was basic — lettuce, cucumber, tomato

and diced onions — with a few diced apples.

And while nothing surprised our tastebuds like the drinks, all the food was eaten, and when the bill arrived I was surprised how affordably I had fed a party of four. (The drinks, on the other had, were a more formidable outlay.)

I returned a month later, mostly to try to the Peanut Butter Cup Martini ($12). It was a remarkable liquid facsimile of its namesake with a chocolaty IURQW DQG D SHDQXW EXWWHU ÂżQLVK ,W ZDV like the other house-made cocktails, both sweet and strong.

glance I thought it to be on a tortilla, and my hunch was correct. But with a bit of red sauce, a good helping of cheese and pepperoni, it resembled more pie the quesadilla. With buttery toasted bread and stacks of bacon, the BLT was among Inferno’s dining standouts, balanced and more than the sum of its parts. But at $7 and served with no sides it was a bit small.

And while an option, particularly late, the food at Inferno takes a back seat to the cocktails. But in a city (as well as a state, region and world) that’s becoming evermore beer-centric, a bar focused on cocktails is a welcome addition.

FILM REVIEW: “A WALK IN THE WOODS”

Buddy hiking comedy is light on its feet Robert Redford and Nick Nolte star in adaptation of book

While ‘A Walk in the Woods’ is tame stuff, indeed, a simple, comic stroll with pleasant company is a decent way to end a movie summer where the usual pace is a Tom Cruise sprint.

By JAKE COYLE AP Film Writer The lure of the wild has recently attracted an interesting batch of solitude seekers: Reese Witherspoon (“Wild”), Mia Wasikowska (“Tracks”) and Robert Redford, twice.

Two years after “All Is Lost,” Redford has swapped the sea for the woods, and wordless isolation for Nick Nolte. It’s not a bad trade.

“A Walk in the Woods” is a broad and congenial comedy about two aged old friends trying to hike all 2,000-plus miles of the Appalachian Trail, from Georgia to Maine. It’s light on its feet, even though its geriatric woodsmen are plodding and grunting.

The story, taken from Bill Bryson’s 1998 book, might seem like the kind of hokey comedy trotted out every now and then for older moviegoers.

It is that, to be sure. But Redford and Nolte are a class, or two, above the standard stars of such fare. While “A Walk in the Woods” is tame stuff, indeed, a simple, comic stroll with pleasant company is a decent way to end a movie summer where the usual pace is a Tom Cruise sprint.

Redford has been trying to adapt Bryson’s book for 10 years, and he’s now older than the author was when he made his trip, along with his pal Stephen Katz (Nolte). It makes their endeavor, particularly on the part of the wheezing Nolte, a little incredulous.

Nolte’s Katz, a former alcoholic and proud philanderer, was never an ideal hiking companion; he’s the only one Bryson could get to go with him. But Nolte, 74 and so croaky he can be hard to under-

Robert Redford, left, and Nick Nolte star as as Bill Bryson and Stephen Katz respectively in the film, “A Walk in the Woods.”

Redford has become accustom to ¿elding but happily (for our sake) ignoring. Authors, Bryson responds, don’t retire.

They either drink themselves away or blow their brains out.

But Bryson is instead drawn by a mysterious longing to hike the Appalachian Trail. His concerned wife (Emma Thompson — now there’s a couple) insists he ¿nd a companion. When everyone he can think of turns

him down, Katz, with whom Bryson had lost touch, calls him up to say he’s game.

After the two set out in Georgia, their adventures unfold in episodic encounters and pratfalls. Along the way, they meet Kirsten Schnaal (as an annoying fellow hiker), an attractive innkeeper (Mary Steenburgen).

But whereas “Wild” sought redemption across the country on the 3aci¿c Crest Trail, profundity isn’t the pursuit of Bryson, Katz and “A Walk in the Woods.” Director Ken Kwapis (“Big Miracle”), working from the script by Rick Kerb and Bill Holderman, steers it on well-trod but pleasant buddy-comedy paths that offers few surprises other than the undiminished appeal of its ambling stars.

“A Walk in the Woods,” a Broadgreen Pictures release, is rated R by the Motion Picture Association of America for “language and some sexual references.” Running time: 104 minutes. Two and a half stars out of four.

This, thankfully, is not a movie where the actors are weighing down their backpacks for the sake of realism.

Custard >N‫ݞ‬s t‫ܬ‬rd@ noun 1. a dessert concocted by gently baking or boiling milk or cream with egg yolks (and sometimes sugar or other flavors) until the mixture is set. Custard achieves its thickness as the coagulation of egg proteins react to mild heat and can be used in a variety of well-known sweet applications including éclairs, cream puffs, pastry cream and as a base for ice cream 2. Custard King: an iconic, roadside drive-in at the east end of downtown Astoria on Commercial Street. The neon first switched on in 1951, and a revitalized and renovated version recently reopened in June 2015 with a pareddown menu focusing on locally sourced hamburgers and handmade custards and milkshakes

Origin: The spelling custard appeared around 1450, arriving from custadis, pl., circa 1353.

By 1399, crustarde referred to a fruit or meat pie. Probably borrowed from the Old Provençal croustado, which roots back to the Latin crusta, meaning “crust.” The first reference of the current spelling as a boiled or baked pudding happened around 1600.

“The partners are KNRK morning radio host Greg Glover and Laughing Planet CEO Franz Spielvogel. The duo purchased the downtown Astoria frozen custard joint with an eye toward restoring it to its 1951 glory.”

—Andy Giegerich, “Astoria’s Custard King is back, thanks to 2 Portland notables,” Portland Business Journal, Friday, Sept. 4, 2015

“Today’s Custard King is probably the only drive-in in the state that offers kale salad.”

—“Mouth of the Columbia: Custard King,” Coast Weekend, Thursday, Aug. 20, 2015

“Zounds, I love the how the word ‘custard’ sounds! Custard! Custard! Custard!”

—Matt Love, “A Glimpse Inside: Custard King,” Coast Weekend, Tuesday, Sept. 8, 2015

New Cannon Beach artist Blue Bond has opened the Blue Bond Studio and Gallery in Sandpiper Square.

Five Minutes With ...

BLUE BOND

Q&A by DANI PALMER EO Media Group He’s new to Cannon Beach, but Blue Bond has been doing his art for over 40 years. The painter learned from some of the best and exhibits his paintings in art shows throughout the West. Over his lifetime, Bond estimates he has completed more than 2,500 paintings.

Now he teaches art classes and sells his paintings at the Blue Bond Studio and Gallery in Sandpiper Square, right next to the Jeffrey Hull Gallery.

Bond’s gallery opened this summer and is open from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Thursday through Sunday, and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, Bond and his wife, Karen, travel back to Vancouver, Wash., where he teaches art courses at their studio and gallery.

How did you end up opening shop in Cannon Beach?

We came over here to see about putting our paintings up in someone else’s gallery, and there was a for lease sign in the window. I thought, “Wow, I’ve never seen Cannon Beach with a gallery available.” I just jumped right on it, and that’s how we got it.

Tell me about your artwork. Is there anything in particular you like to paint?

I paint Western themes. I like to do animals, like horses, and portraits and people.

How did you get started in art?

I started when I was in grade school. I’ve always been interested in art. All my life. I really excelled in drawing and things like that. It just developed from that. And I’ve spent 40 years pursuing that. It’s a type of

thing you never master. You just try to get better. Some people say to me, “Oh you’re so fortunate. You can paint.”

There’s not fortunate. It’s thousands and thousands of hours a person wants to put into that, learn how to do that. You never, ever master this. I’ve never talked to a painter in my life who just said, “I’m there.” Somebody will say, “Which is your best painting?” and I truly believe an artist will answer “Maybe my next one.” I think it’s that way with anything we do.

We always want to get better and better and better.

What do you offer at the studio and gallery here?

I offer art classes for someone that would want to do a private art class right here in the studio. I do commissioned portraits. A lot of people bring in photos of their dogs or their horses or their children or a self-portrait. They’ll drop them off, and I paint that right here in the studio. I’m kind of unique here that I paint in the studio. People are really interested in watching the art happen.

Do you work with people of all art skill levels?

I do. I like to work with adults. I teach people how to paint, how to look at a photograph and paint it on a

canvas. It’s looking at something and being able to paint it. With the use of cameras today, you don’t have to be a master drawer. You can use all these aids, like cameras and projectors, to help you.

That gives you the ability to concentrate strictly on how to put paint on a canvas. I’ve had professional artists come in and spend time with me just to learn how to paint fast.

What’s it been like being in Cannon Beach with all these other artists?

Oh, it’s incredible! They’re so interesting because they’re extremely talented.

It’s really nice when they stop by my studio — that we can talk art. It’s like anything else. If you’re talking with somebody in your profession, you understand each other better. Another interesting thing is people come in from Canada or Wyoming or Montana, and some find my art refreshing because many people here paint the rock or the ocean.

I said I wasn’t going to do that rock because everyone else has done it and has done it so well it’s intimidating, but I’m starting to get into it. It’s really made an impact on my life. Much more than anywhere else I’ve ever been.
