Be the picture of good health. Get screened. Vascular diseases threaten the health – and lives – of millions of Americans. Most people with a vascular disease don’t know they have it and go untreated. If you’re 55 or older, have a family history of heart disease or think you’re at risk, a screening could save your life. Talk to your health care provider about scheduling an appointment for Providence’s painless, non-invasive coronary calcium screening. The test takes only minutes, but the benefits could last for years. There is a screening fee. Call 503-717-7556 for fee information. Providence Seaside Hospital is the only facility on the north coast offering coronary calcium scans. Talk to your health care provider about a screening. Or you can make an appointment with cardiologist Robert Morse, D.O., for expert cardiac care close to home. Robert Morse, D.O. Cardiologist

Cannon Beach Gallery opens new ‘Feathers’ exhibit Work by Carol Riley, Neal Maine on display; artists’ reception Saturday CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Gallery’s newest art exhibition “Feathers” features new work by painter Carol Riley and photographer Neal Maine. The show runs Sept. 5 to 28. There will be an artists’ reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 at the gallery. A respected North Coast photographer and conservationist, Maine spends countless hours watching and recording nature. “I believe birds are really about their feathers with their texture, amazing colors and patterns,” he says. “My photographs seek to capture that moment when the light, the background and the bird come together, and the familiar can be seen in a new and beautiful way.” Riley is a well known regional painter. She shares Maine’s reverence for nature and fascination with birds. Her work is often inspired by the microcosm of activity in the courtyard garden just outside her studio. The Cannon Beach Gallery is celebrating its 20th year in the Emma White Building in midtown Cannon Beach, located at 1064 S. Hemlock St.

Racing Data One Warrenton man compiles a list of automotive publications and offers it free online

A

A 72-year old man living in a Warrenton apartment with two cats named King Arthur and Lady Guinevere has amassed the largest online bibliographic database of automotive periodicals in the world. To date, the list tops 10,500 titles on Robert E. Lee’s Racing Data, and its creator has no plans of stopping any time soon. “It keeps me from chasing fast women I can’t chase anymore,� said Robert E. Lee, “and, well, it’s also an obsession, and I have nothing else to do with my life, and I can’t sit around and do nothing.� The project began in 1983 with the publication of “Motor Press Newsletter� and had 883 titles. Initially, Lee collaborated with a partner, Steve Kuk, but eventually took it over himself. Lee continued the newsletter for years until rising printing costs made publishing it prohibitive. For 20 years, Lee lived out of his van and washed windows from Brookings to Aberdeen, Washington. Then he suffered some medical setbacks that ended his itinerant lifestyle. He settled into Warrenton four years ago and began working on the project in earnest.

Lee’s website, Robert E. Lee’s Racing Data, is a list of automotive books and periodicals from around the world.

4 | September 4, 2014 | coastweekend.com

Robert E. Lee, of Warrenton, owns an impressive collection of automotive-themed books and car models.

After many long hours laboring online in Astoria’s 3 Cups Coffee, the database went live in 2012 and includes books, magazines, newsletters, and virtually anything else printed about automotive culture. It does not list web sites or blogs. Lee dates his interest in all things automotive when he was 3 days old. “My parents took me to an auto race in Los Angeles right after I came out of the womb,â€? he said. Interestingly enough, Lee never demonstrated any interest in working on cars or motorcycles, even as a young man. “I was just fascinated by other aspects, their history, who made them, what happened to them,â€? he said. Robert E. Lee’s Racing Data receives a trickle of inquiries and bibliographic contributions from car and UDFLQJ EXIIV DOO RYHU WKH ZRUOG Âł3HRSOH MXVW Âż QG PH and I have no idea how,â€? he said. One email from a Californian man read: “I’m aware of your incredible collection, and here are a couple more titles.â€? Last month, a Belgian man contacted Lee and asked for help searching for magazines or books about Bugatti automobiles. A week or so later, a man from Senegal provided Lee with information about a Senegalese publication. Lee has no idea how many hits the website receives, and that lack of information doesn’t bother him in the least. “I don’t care,â€? he said. “I do it for myself.â€? 7KH Âż UVW DXWRPRWLYH SHULRGLFDO DSSHDUHG LQ and every country where automobiles penetrated the culture has produced them at time or another. The

In addition to compiling a list of worldwide titles, Robert E. Lee also collects automotive publications.

United States boasts the most titles, but Lee’s favorites are from the United Kingdom. In all his decades of VOHXWKLQJ KLV PRVW PHPRUDEOH Âż QG ZDV D 'DQLVK UDF ing magazine from the 1950s called “Fart.â€? “‘Fart’ is ‘speed’ in Danish,â€? he said, “and one time I was kicked out of a restaurant for reading it! They must have thought I was sick or something.â€? Lee also remembered a glossy car kit magazine that featured nude women in all sorts of ridiculous poses on the automobiles. It had a print run of one edition. At some point, Lee knows he won’t be able to continue the project. When that happens, he plans to donate his impressive collection of automotive-themed books and car models to a California auto museum.

Robert E. Lee’s Racing Data receives a trickle of inquiries and bibliographic contributions from car and racing buffs all over the world.

GEARHART — September is traditionally a spectacular month on the North Oregon Coast. Summer is winding down, yet the sun can shine more often than many other months. We know fall is on its way, and still we cling to the joys that summer brings to the beach. Come to the Gearhart ArtWalk from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 to see year-round artists’ views of fall and to enjoy the beach while the seasons change. Look for “Welcome to the 6+25(´ ÀDJV LQGLFDWLQJ SDUWLFLSDWLQJ PHUFKDQWV

A Great Gallery 576 Pacific Way “GULP!!” Our oceans and waterways wouldn’t be the same without the entertainment pelican. Gallery owner and pastel artist Susan Thomas will feature this fascinating bird. Donna of DM Designs will feature her jewelry “feathers in fall tones.” Thomas’ daughter, Ashley, will have her latest photography on display – and back by request is Thomas’ dipped chocolate.

By The Way 564 Pacific Way So many visitors expressed interest in the pastel art of Lynda Campbell

during the August art walk that Campbell has agreed to spend the day at By The Way again in September. This month she will feature her works of still art. Several of her pastels will be specially priced for this event. By The Way, Gearhart’s newest gift and interior’s store, has enjoyed a wonderful response to its gifts and coastal home interior items. Cougar Ridge Knife Company 3348 U.S. Highway 101 N. Cougar Ridge Knives offers a selection of the fine cutlery and select boutique Northwest wines to enjoy at any occasion.

“Artichokes,” a watercolor by Mary Ann Gantenbein at Trail’s End.

Gearhart Ironwerks 1368 Pacific Way Gearhart Ironwerks owner John Emmerling displays his custom handforged chef and hunting knives in both carbon and Damascus steel. They can be seen in the Ironwerks showroom as well as the Cougar Ridge Knife Shop. Gearhart Ocean Inn 67 N. Cottage Ave. Gearhart Ocean Inn will feature a local Gearhart artist in the lobby.

Natural Nook 738 Pacific Way Natural Nook features the works of Mary Suzanne Garvey, who specializes in soul-soothing seascapes as well as soft floral themes.

Garvey often refers to herself as “a muse on the loose.” She offers private painting sessions, art journal workshops and art retreats to Portland. Find her at her website shimmeringsisterhealingarts. com and at The Natural Nook.

Pacific Crest Cottage 726 Pacific Way North Coast watercolorist Reba Owens will show paintings this month. Owens specializes in nature themes, such as birds and native plants, ecology, mythology and humor. She also loves Halloween and autumn themes. A graduate of Oregon State University class of ’62, Owens was born in Oak Grove in the 1940s, when Halloween was a magical time of full moons, homebaked treats and friendly ghosts. It was also a time when a nice neighbor dressed as Wolf Man, hid in his bamboo patch, and jumped out to scare trick-or-treaters; since they knew he was there year after year, the kids had to fake screams of surprise and fear. Walk down memory lane with Owens at Pacific Crest Cottage. Romancing the Home 3350 U.S. Highway 101 N. Romancing the Home feautres Kurt Hollomon, a crafter of images, drawings, maps and sketchbook journals documenting everyday life. His art works are purposeful compositions of pen and ink drawings accented with chalk pastels,

gouache paints and hand-drawn typography. Hollomon has been designing and illustrating for 28 years and has recently retired after 14 years as a teacher of drawing and illustration at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland. Meet Hollomon, view his wonderful selection of work and enjoy refreshments.

Two weeks ago, through sheer chance, I was handed the keys to a Porsche Cayenne. Behind the wheel of that sleek, shiny, purring SUV, I pushed the 4.8.L, 385HP V8 up and down the coast, to Portland and back. It was nothing if not the height of creature comforts, smooth, deliberate operation and cool, safety. Humming over the David Douglas range on U.S. Highway 26, it couldn’t have been more clear: I missed my motorcycle. I missed the sights: how the vistas took my EUHDWK DZD\ , PLVVHG WKH VPHOOV D ¿ HOG RI IUHVK lavender or how the air becomes crisp and cold when you’re nearing a river. I missed having any real idea where I was. The landmarks I’d become familiar with blurred together in the car, a mishmash of the vaguely familiar. In a way, I even missed the danger. Now, in the Porsche I knew if I veered off the road I’d be more likely to not only be protected, but found. Yet it’s about much more than thrill-seeking. Riding a motorcycle not only forces paying attention – it rewards it. You feel the place. You get to know it. You learn the way. You see it; you smell it; you hear it. You’re closer. So it stands to reason, then, that a place as naturally radical as the North Coast is best experienced by bike. At least while the sun’s out.

Like an apprehensive hawk, he’d been watching my every move. But while there was plenty to look at along Highway 53, the road left me wanting. Even with advanced suspension, my BMW skipped and hiccuped through some of the potholes. Long stretches of pavement looked more like human cheese graters, and patches of loose gravel appeared all too regularly. Such cataloging of both roads and routes are readily available online.

CCR’s

Smokehouse Enjoy some quality barbecue on the Long Beach Peninsula

J

Just past the hustle and bustle of downtown Long Beach is a little yellow house that is cranking out a fantastic barbecue smell that permeates the peninsula. Though the restaurant is a bit nondescript and easy to miss, CCR’s Smokehouse is producing some quality barbecue entrées. Let’s start with the baby-back ribs: with a tiny pricetag of $12 (plus tax), these are both tasty and an incredible value. The meat was so tender it was literally falling off the bone. It also had a rich, smoky quality that I appreciated. I do wish, though, that the Àavor could be enhanced somehow. I cannot attest to how the ribs are prepared, but if a spice rub is used in their preparation (as if often the case with ribs), the addition of more sweet, savory and spicy elements would enhance the overall Àavor pro¿le. Next, although I thought teriyaki chicken a rather odd entrée for a barbecue place to be offering, I must say that it was very tasty. I might suggest that the restaurant offer a teriyaki chicken sandwich with pineapple, with a different cole slaw as a side. I still don’t understand how teriyaki coincides with barbecue, but I found it delicious nonetheless. I was not as impressed with the pulled pork sandwich. As I have written in the past with regard to pork shoulder, it can sometimes be tricky to prepare. Any home chef who has cursed over tough pork chops knows what I’m talking about. The “low and slow” rule for temperature and long cooking time usually required for a pork shoulder must be followed, and often, chefs

will impatiently raise the temperature to cook the meat faster, resulting in tough meat. Again, I don’t know the manner in which CCR’s prepared its pork, but I found the meat to be tough overall. The sandwich was a bit too chewy for me, so I went to work on the sides instead. I have yet to ¿nd a restaurant where the barbecue sides are as tasty as the barbecue itself, but in my mind, the sides are just as important. The ways of preparing baked beans are numerous; I myself have several recipes that I like for different occasions, and none of them require a terrible amount of work or many unusual ingredients. I didn’t ¿nd the beans at CCR’s to be especially tasty or especially noteworthy. They

CCR’s homemade sauce is everything a good barbecue sauce should be: sweet, savory, spicy and rich. The restaurant should consider bottling and selling it.

were, in a word, “okay.” They were also lukewarm, which didn’t help matters. Adopting a house recipe for beans would be incredibly simple, and would, in my mind, elevate the menu. I’ve known barbecue restaurants in other cities that serve beans so delicious that they also serve a larger portion of them as an entrée with a big hunk of cornbread. I found the cole slaw better than the beans, and I would call it your “standard, American variety” cole slaw, with shredded cabbage and a semi-sweet, mayonnaise-based dressing. In general, I don’t usually ¿nd cole slaw “tangy” enough for my liking, so I will often add salt and vinegar when making it at home. Still, this is just my personal taste, and I would imagine the cole slaw at CCR’s will have broad appeal. Finally, I found the potato salad similar to

mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday. PRICES: The prices are incredibly low; in fact, I’m not sure how they can keep prices so low and still be in business! Most entrée prices are below $10, and an order of ribs is only $12. Although it sounds strange, if the prices were a bit higher, perhaps the quality would be improved upon as well, especially where the sides are concerned. SERVICE: Our server was very warm and friendly, and the food arrived at our table quickly.

the cole slaw: traditionally prepared, classically Àavored, but a bit bland and uninspired. I think some inventiveness with regard to the side dishes at CCR’s would go a long way and wouldn’t require a lot of extra work or cost. My favorite dish of the day was a tri-tip steak sandwich. I love tri-tip anyway, and the version at CCR’s is delicious, with the meat being beyond tender. Our server told me that the buns used in the restaurant’s sandwiches are homemade, and they have a rough, rustic texture about them that “¿ts” barbecue and soaks up sauce tremendously well. Speaking of the sauce, CCR’s homemade sauce is everything a good barbecue sauce should be: sweet, savory, spicy and rich. The restaurant should consider bottling and selling it. With a few minor tweaks to the menu, I think CCR’s Smokehouse could become a really good barbecue place. I would suggest also punching up the décor a bit, maybe establishing a good logo for a sign, and doing something to the house exterior to suggest that it is, in fact, a restaurant, and not a house. Overall I was pleased with my visit, and I am interested in seeing how the restaurant will grow.

ATMOSPHERE: Situated in a quaint yellow house, the restaurant feels cozy and homey, although the décor could use some punching up. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: There are no entrées that are vegetarian-friendly, although the sides of cole slaw, beans and potato salad may work for you, depending on your dietary preferences. DRINKS: Coffee, tea and soft drinks.

For his new body of work, Grant revisits his ongoing interest in architectural subjects, still life and surrealism, painted in his signature photo-realistic style. Grant has been a full-time painter for over 30 years. The Oregon artist is most well known for his renderings of empty rooms and interior spaces that capture the shifting light of day, casting shadows on lone still-life objects. Grant’s paintings inspire the elusive impression of open space within quiet architectural studies.

Utah band Desert Noises plays the Fort ASTORIA — Desert Noises bring another not-to-miss performance to the Fort George Brewery’s Sunday Night Concert Series. Fresh off a huge summer that brought the band’s sound to festivals like Lollapalooza and Bannaroo, across the country and back, Desert Noises is amped up. The name Desert Noises – like many of the band’s songs on its debut full-length album “27 Ways” – came out of a dream that popped into front-man Kyle Henderson’s head while sleeping. “I just woke up and wrote it down on a piece of paper,” says the 24-year-old, who used it for

The event will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6 at the Judge Guy Boyington Building, located at 857 Commercial St. Author and educator Walidah Imarisha will lead partic-

“Sometimes A Great Movie: Paul Newman, Ken Kesey, and the filming of the Great Oregon Novel” by Matt Love

Just finished

“Sometimes a Great Notion” by Ken Kesey

Nestucca Spit Press, 2012

First published by Viking, 1964

Plot Notes: A defiant Oregon logging clan thwarts a union strike, much to the open dismay of their neighbors. Along with his cousin Joe Ben and other relatives, Hank Stamper continues to fell the Coast Range, all the while standing firmly in the long shadow of his father, Henry, the family’s patriarch. Following the suicide of his mother, Hank’s half-brother, Leland, returns from the fray, bent on vengeance. As tensions mount between the family and the town, internal rivalries threaten to destroy the family even as Hank soldiers on, regardless of the consequences. Take Away: Turning 50 this month, Kesey’s second (and arguably best) novel still reads incredibly fresh and relevant. Come look: In rich prose, thick as any coastal fog, Kesey channels the rugged spirit and landscape of the Oregon Coast into an epic tragedy. With a free-floating perspective, the novel stands as a product of its time, the experimental 1960s. Like many classic American novels, the book is at once fiercely regional while speaking to a larger national identity. Though, is it to Kesey’s credit or our detriment that the novel’s themes still emerge in our current public debate? Individualism vs. collectivism, tradition vs. progress, environmental impact vs. enterprise, rural vs. urban, just to name a few – those cursed Stampers have enough gall and guff (not to mention plenty of sexual dysfunction in their past and present to please any Freudian, or Faulknerian, for that matter) to embody and escalate all of these themes and more. Kesey bookends the novel with the single most haunting image of American individualism and fortitude since John Steinbeck bared Rose of Sharon’s breast at the end of “The Grapes of Wrath”: a severed arm, tied high above the water, waving its middle finger. Recommended For: Oregonians, natives and transplants. Bonus: On Saturday, Sept. 20, Jupiter’s Rare and Used Books in Cannon Beach will celebrate its own 25th anniversary in part by paying tribute to the iconic novel’s 50th. With music and readings from the novel (and rumors of a Hank Stamper impersonator), be sure to check out a full event preview in the Sept. 18 issue of Coast Weekend. Bonus-bonus: You can also rent the amazing waterfront home in Lincoln City used as the Stamper house in the 1971 film adaptation of the novel. Check it out on oregonbeachvacations.com

Behind the scenes: Coast Weekend contributor Matt Love chronicles in juicy detail what happened when Paul Newman, the biggest movie star in the world, decided to settle on the Oregon Coast in the summer of 1970 to direct an adaptation of Kesey’s novel. With sex, scotch, sports cars, Brando, Fonda, Mo’s chowder, and many never-before-seen photos. For the Ken Kesey super fan:

“The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” by Tom Wolfe First published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux,1968 Between the lines: A cult classic and a foundational text of the New Journalism style, Wolfe details in hyperbolic and hysterical prose the chemically charged and musically fueled experiments of Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters. Not to be forgotten, Kesey and co. originally boarded the bus Further to drive cross-country to celebrate the publication of “Sometimes a Great Notion.” From there, all hell broke loose.

Origin: First recorded in the mid-1800s. From Chinook Jargon, a pidgin trade language comprised of Amerind, English, French and other languages that grew out of the fur trade in the Pacific Northwest. It is believed that during its 19th century heyday, the jargon had some 100,000 speakers, reaching from the lower Columbia basin up into the Yukon territory. “Example: Okoke illahee yaka hyas kloshe – this land is very good. Boston illahee – the United States. Delate yaka illahee – native land. King George illahee – England. Fasaiooks illahee – France. Konoway akoke illahee – the world. Konoway illahee konowah kah – the universe. Dutchman yaka illahee – Germany; nearly any part of Europe except France and England. Saghalie Tyee yaka illahee – Heaven. Siwash illahee – an Indian reservation. Illahee wake siah kopa chuck – the coast.”
