CANNON BEACH — Show your support for the Coaster Theatre Playhouse and get ready for an evening of food, fun — including a wine toss — silent auction and raffle with special musical guest Pink Martini. Start time is 6 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 12. Tickets are now available — $75 each, limit four per person — by calling 503436-1242. Featuring a dozen musicians, Pink Martini performs its multilingual repertoire on concert stages and with symphony orchestras throughout Europe, Asia, Greece, Turkey, the Middle East, Northern Africa, Australia, New Zealand, South America and North America. The group was founded in 1994 in Portland and made its European debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 1997 and their orchestral debut with the Oregon Symphony in 1998 under the direction of Norman Leyden. Since then, the band has gone on to play with more than 50 orchestras around the world, including multiple engagements with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl, the Boston Pops, the National Symphony at the Kennedy Center, the San Francisco Symphony, the Cleveland

Orchestra and the BBC Concert Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall in London. The Coaster Theatre Playhouse has entertained thousands of visitors and locals of Cannon Beach and Oregon’s North Coast. Maurie Clark opened the Coaster Theatre in 1972. He supported it with his time, talent and financial resources. Upon his death in 2001, the Coaster Theatre became a not-for-profit theater. Each year the Coaster Theatre produces five plays and two musicals as well as inspiring young actors with its Coaster Kidz spring, summer and winter camps.

‘THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME’

B

Bike Trip America: three Boy Scouts, three bikes and a summer spent making unforgettable memories

ike Trip America crew leader Bryce Nurding and his two biking buddies, Ryan Tallman and Jonathan Williams, have summer plans full of high elevations, high temperatures, high adventure and high points. It’s Ready. Set. Go! And go! And go! From Oregon to New York: 59 days; 3,521 miles; and 12 states. The three teenage Astoria Boy Scouts — Troop 255 — will cycle their way across the northern U.S., from the PaFLÂżF 2FHDQ WR WKH $WODQWLF 'HSDUWLQJ June 18 from Fort Stevens State Park, they begin their biking odyssey. If all goes according to plan, they will arrive in New York City Aug. 15. Their support team consists of two adults and D GRJ 'RQ &KLOG D ELNH savvy former Vietnam infantry medic now living in Hawaii, will bike with the boys. His passion for cycling evolved as he became dedicated to commuting without polluting. He writes in his donsbike. blogspot.com — which he’ll update during the cross-country ride — that biking helps “burn carbohydrates, not hydrocarbons.â€? And master of all offroad strategy is Gearhart resident Pat Wollner. Wollner, a retired nurse, (an avid biker herself but not on this trip) and her 4-year-old black lab, Annie, will take care of everything but actual on-bike riding and on-road bike maintenance — or so she says. Think sleeping, eating, acquiring ferry tickets, providing for the daily whats where, and that’s just for starters. Her duties also include the piloting of a super-organized, fully packed Suburban YDQ DEOH WR VHDW WKH GULYHU ÂżYH SHRSOH passengers and one dog, and their gear if needed. Want to see a self-contained kitchen in a bag? Ask Wollner. Nurding, the 16-year-old crew chief, has spent months detailing the trip, and it shows. A super-sized

three-ring notebook is packed with his equipment lists, contacts, route maps, lodgings, locales, mileage and more. The trip is partially sponsored by local and non-local organizations. American Legions across the country (with particular support from Astoria’s Legion Post 12), will host the cyclists in several locations, providing or arranging for meals, lodging and hot showers. The Astoria Co-op Grocery, AAA, Subway, Fultano’s Pizza, Gearhart’s By the Way Gifts, Warrenton Costco and private contributions are all part of the ride with more lending support as the boys’ departure grows close. Experiencing a lifetime impact, the boys are also riding for a specific cause. Every mile the crew covers is honoring and raising awareness and funds for Operation Comfort Warriors. A 100 percent nonSURÂżW ZLWK QR DGPLQLVWUDtive costs, “It is different from other charities in a lot of ways because all the money that is donated actually goes to the veterans,â€? said Nurding in the June 2015 American Legion Magazine, which featured an article about Bike Trip America. Operation Comfort Warriors provides comfort items to injured, wounded or ill veterans not usually supplied by the government. Child said he was especially interested in joining the Bike Trip America crew when he became aware of its support of the wounded warriors for whom he feels great appreciation. As the June 18 departure draws closer: Medical releases signed and ÂżOHG" &KHFN 7DLO OLJKWV DQG KHDG lights working and in place? Check.

We are representing every biker on the road. This is the trip of a lifetime,� said Nurding. Watch for occasional Bike Trip America highlights and updates in Coast Weekend’s Grab Bag back page as the group makes its way across the country.

Thalia Zepatos of Freedom to Marry will speak June 18 in Astoria.

She began fighting anti-LGBT ballot measures in her home state of Oregon in 1988 and has subsequently been involved in fighting dozens of other anti-gay measures in communities across the U.S. Since 2004, when a wave

of Constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage were placed on the ballots of states across the country, Zepatos has focused on cracking the messaging code on marriage, resulting in four statewide ballot wins in November 2012 — the first-ever victories at the ballot. Her collaborative approach to message research led to the development of Why Marriage Matters — a public education partnership of 30 state and national organizations — and Familia es Familia, a national partnership of two-dozen Latino civil rights organizations.

Sign up for Shoreline Science ARCH CAPE — All those who would like to learn more about coastal natural history and the Oregon shoreline have an opportunity this summer. The CoastWatch program is offering intensive, three-day workshops, led by ecologist Stewart Schultz, an authority on the Northwest’s coastal region. He will be joined by Fawn Custer, CoastWatch’s volunteer coordinator. The workshops will be held in Arch Cape, July 18 to 20; Depoe Bay, Aug. 1 to 3; and Port Orford, Aug. 14 to 16. Three full days of instruction will cover the major coastal ecosystems: tide pools, sandy

beaches, estuaries, forests and the ocean. Tides, landforms, birds and marine mammals will be considered. Matters of concern such as marine debris and invasive species will also be discussed. This year there will be an emphasis on Oregon’s marine reserves. Each session will include ¿eld trips, indoor presentations and laboratory experiences. While the workshops were developed to provide training to volunteers interested in citizen science and monitoring the shoreline, they are open to the public, and would be of interest to anyone who is fascinated by the ecology of the

coastal region. Teachers and other professionals can obtain 24 professional development units by taking a workshop. To register online, go to http://tinyurl.com/shoreline2015. Workshop fee will be $70 for those who are both CoastWatchers and members of the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition, $90 for those who are either CoastWatchers or Oregon Shores members, and $120 for others (who are invited to join Oregon Shores on the registration site and take the discount).

CANNON BEACH — Now more than a 50-year tradition in Cannon Beach, the community’s annual Sandcastle Contest draws thousands of spectators who view the monumental, but temporary, sculptures by teams of professional “masters” and amateur sand artists. The 51st annual Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest will draw thousands of onlookers Saturday, June 20, and the weekend includes a series of other related events that typically make this the busiest weekend of the year in this small beach town. Additional events planned for 2015 include a parade, a folk music concert and a fun run and walk. The Sandcastle Contest awards will be announced at 12:30 p.m. Saturday on the beach, making 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. the best time for viewing the completed sculptures. The Cannon Beach Sandcastle Contest was recognized as an Oregon Heritage Tradition by Oregon State Parks last year when the event celebrated its 50th anniversary, making it one of just 11 events statewide to achieve such a designation. The contest was founded in 1964 following an earthquake in Alaska that created a tsunami, which washed out the Ecola Creek bridge and Àooded the down-

Artistic beach mysteries Delight a stranger, leave behind a message, escape the madness of the world

N

Not too long ago, Sonny the old husky and I were cruising one of our favorite beach trails when I saw something in the distance that looked like a decapitated head on a spike. Curious, I hurried over to inspect and beheld a mannequin’s head made of Styrofoam pounded through an iron bolt attached to a crumbling trestle of the South Jetty of the Columbia River. The mannequin even had a mullet! It was easily one of the weirder and more amusing sights I’ve ever witnessed on one of my beach walks. I can only surmise that someone found the head as detritus nearby and then mounted it via a spontaneous and dangerous act of climbing atop the massive boulders of the jetty to reach the trestle. There is no way I would have done it. Thank you artist, whoever you are, for your danger. I was utterly fascinated by your effort. You gave me a scare, then a laugh, and I felt better the rest of the day because of your foolhardy creation. Two days later, the head was gone. Two months later I was back on the South Jetty and beheld a bald eagle perched atop a driftwood sculpture protruding from the pilings. I watched the bird for a good 10 minutes and crept up within 20 feet. He looked very, very old and wise. Then he lifted off, and I saw the whole outstretch of his wings in what felt like was slow wondrous motion. A piece of art had attracted the eagle, and I was the bene¿ciary of the artist’s handiwork. A kelp fountain. A massive sculpture installation by the Sea God. Fifty cairns left on quarter-mile stretch of ugly riprap. Tributes and memorials in the sand. Driftwood forts of ingenious design. Strange feather and stick mazes. Limpets and hairy tritons decorating burned driftlogs. Such are some of the mysterious artistic creations I’ve encountered in my 18 years of inveterate beachcombing on the Oregon Coast. There were others, too many to list here, but the aforementioned ones stand out. I remember their every detail. Sometimes they made me smile; sometimes they blew my mind. I never once didn’t come over to marvel at them. They deserved attention and interaction. I can almost guarantee adults made most of these creations, perhaps with the help of chil-

dren, but in a minority of cases I would guess. It was child’s play for adults. You could sense it in the work. Walking into artistic mysteries on the beach is one of the most exhilarating experiences imaginable, because it means someone is creating them without ever knowing or apparently caring who will see them. This, to me, de¿nes pure art: the artist gives it away because the artist felt compelled to do so. I give away my books to cafes, bars and complete strangers all the time and derive a monumental happiness from the practice. All these beach creations are beautiful, enchanting, corporeal and evanescent. They will all most likely vanish with the next high tide or super storm that blows through. So be it. Embrace that quality. It heightens the sheer pleasure of the viewing and contemplation. I like seeing impermanence in action at the ocean’s edge. For some reason, it makes me want to do better, more important, lasting work with people, animals and watersheds. Does that make any sense? See what encountering mysterious art on the beach does to me? Thank you anonymous artists. You made me reÀect and reconsider, and this being Oregon, entrance to the gallery didn’t cost me a cent. It didn’t cost you a cent, either. The materials were free, too … and you didn’t have to write a damn grant to fund your vision! Sometimes, through the good graces of my writing, I learn the identity of the creators and the inspiration for their efforts. Invariably, these real stories possess exponentially more magic than anything I could have ever invented as a writer of ¿ction. Beach artists, I am one of you now — and an indefatigable one at that. I wasn’t my ¿rst couple of years on the Oregon Coast. Your art turned me into an artist. Today, I write messages in the sand and build driftwood forts all the time. I leave messages inside forts! Why not? Why not transmit mystery into the world. Why not be mysterious? Why not delight strangers? Why be boring? Boring is boring. I’ll keep making mysterious and anonymous art on the beach for the rest of my life. I honestly believe it is a formidable method to

heal the malaise and madness of our world. Action on the behalf of art is consolatory — and revelatory. Let me issue readers a challenge: Go to the beach right now and leave behind an artistic mystery. Bring a friend, a team, or go solo. Use only what you ¿nd at the beach. Take all day or ¿ve minutes. Tell the world via social media or do it in complete silence. Someone you don’t even know is going to prosper by your effort.

Here to stay

2015 Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival Court

The Astoria Scandinavian Midsummer Festival, taking place June 19 to 21, holds down a long and glorious tradition on the North Coast, from the festiYDOÂśV Âż UVW 4XHHQ 0DUMRULH <RVW (Danish,1968) to last year’s Abbie Johnson (Norway, 2014) who has attended every festival since she was born and was put to work as soon as she could walk. Abbie, her proud parents and grandparents have a long tradition of volunteering to make the event special. It takes a community — and many hands make light work. There’s only one little kink in the works this year. As Abbie’s granddad and festival organizer Loran Mathews puts it, “We haven’t decided yet what year to call this festival. We’re not sure about our numbering — it all depends how you count.â€? He continues, “If I say I’m 70 years old then you start counting not when I was born but when I’m one year old. So WKDWÂśV \HDU RQH ² DIWHU P\ Âż UVW full year. Anyway we started in 1967, and we’re still trying to Âż JXUH RXW ZKHQ RXU WK ZLOO be. We’re have a meeting on June 10 to decide.â€? But whether it’s the 48th or 49th year, any way you slice that krumkake, the Scandinavian Festival is here to stay, or so this year’s volunteers hope. “There have been a lot of people involved over the years,â€?

Mathews continues. “It’s been good to keep it going so long, and we want to keep it going DQRWKHU \HDUV $ ORW RI WKH people in the original group are gone, so we’ve had other people taking over along the way.�

The Royal Court

There is no better indication that the Scan Fest’s longevity is assured than to look at the impressive royal court. Each of the four lodges — Norway, Finland, Denmark and Sweden — nominate a young woman to represent them. These misses are carefully chosen to represent their culture and have a rigorous schedule of speaking engagements. Miss Denmark, Meisha Boettcher, is a MXQLRU DW .QDS pa High School, and her maternal great grandparents are 100 percent Danish. Miss Finland, .DLVD -RKQVRQ LV D VHQLRU DW Astoria High School; her Scandinavian heritage was passed down to her from her mother who is 100 percent Finn.

After a recent Hermitage Piano Trio concert, the Washington Post raved, “three of Russia’s most spectacular young soloists…turned in a performance of such power and sweeping passion that it left you nearly out of breath.” Kreston and Duckles’ chamber ensemble, the Amelia Piano Trio, was honored by National Public Radio as the Young Ensemble in Residence with a

week of concerts and interviews in 2003. Founding member of the International String Quartet and current Assistant Principal Viola of the Detroit Symphony, VanValkenburg continues to collaborate with chamber musicians such as Gidon Kremer, David Shifrin and Isaac Stern. Lewis spent most of his career as the acclaimed pianist of the legendary Lanier Trio, whose recording of the complete Dvorak Trios was selected by Time as one of the 10 best recordings of 1993. Saturday, June 20 begins with a free brown bag lunch talk at noon in the Liberty Theater’s McTavish Room, providing cultural context for the festival’s production of Bach’s majestic “St. John Passion.” Speakers include Portland State University German language professor William Fischer and Dwight Caswell, who has a doctorate in theology. At 4 p.m. Saturday, cellist Sergey Antonov welcomes festival-goers with his popular Happy Hour, an informal, hour of concert and conversation with his fellow artists of the Hermitage Piano Trio. The concert takes place at the Liberty Theater, and tickets are $15. The program will be announced on stage. The evening continues at 7:30 p.m. on the Liberty Theater stage with Keith Clark directing the Festival Orchestra in the deeply moving “St. John Passion” by Bach. The production includes

Three For Silver represents a curious hybrid of acoustic music. The twin melodies of Willo Sertain’s vocals and Greg Allison’s violin glide atop of

chugging polyrhythms of Lucas Warford’s homemade bass instruments and the idiosyncratic style in which they are played. Described by Baby Gramps as “the acid baby of Tom Waits ad Vicgtor Wooten,� Three For Silver combines a gritty aesthetic, world-folk traditions, and virtuosic technique with a modern songwriting sense.

On a sunny day, the patio at Left Coast Siesta is nearly irresistible. The food, however, a little less so. Either way, you’ve got to go inside to order. The converted house is festively dressed, with chili peppers everywhere and corrugated tin siding on the ceiling, and it’s ringed by hundreds of bottles of hot sauce. Indeed, hot sauce delivery almost seems to be Left Coast Siesta’s raison d’etre — it’s how the food wakes up. Before the counter, a menu board appears to offer more than it really does.

In terms of taste, well, again, a little less so. I ordered two enchiladas ($6.75), and we began going though the options. I went for red sauce (as one of the genetically cilantro adverse, green was out of the question). I’d have one with spicy chicken, one with shredded beef, and one of each tortilla, white and blue corn. On top I’d have everything: cheese, sour cream, olives and onions. With it I’d take an order of chips and guacamole ($3.50). I took my number and headed back to the patio, but not before lingering over the grand collection of hot sauces. There are bottles and bottles of them, from the well-trodden Cholulas and Tabascos to small-run craft rarities to the atomic varieties. Indeed, a good number of those on the UDFN ZHUH Ă€ DW RXW QXFOHDU ² IRUJHW KDEDQHUR think ghost chilies. (Many such bottles featured an extra “hotâ€? label added by the house, but I can’t help but wonder how many meals have been decimated by a few drops of these absurd sauces by unsuspecting teens with grinning intention.)

— I feel it’s best to taste the foods as prepared by the kitchen, with as little outside tinkering as possible. The enchiladas at Left Coast, however, cried out to be spiced! The red sauce was dark and smoky. Combined with the cheese and sour cream, it needed something bright (lettuce and tomatoes would’ve helped in this regard). Underneath the red sauce, the color of the tortillas was unimportant, as they tasted similar. So too did the chicken and beef. Each was shredded at the same consistency, and featured the same spicing — with chile peppers, garlic, onion, cumin, oregano and other spices. That list might lead you to believe that the meats at Left Coast were delicately labored over.

Muscle and Chrome car show revs up in Seaside SEASIDE — Several hundred muscle cars and their proud owners will converge on Seaside for the Seaside Downtown Development Association’s 12th annual Muscle and Chrome car show, to be held June 19 and 20, sponsored by NAPA Auto Parts.

ASTORIA — Metalsmith Judith Altruda will present a new collection of her distinctive jewelry in a trunk show at RiverSea Gallery from 3 to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 20. Each piece is a oneof-a-kind work of art featuring sea glass, ancient coins or gemstones, and created with metalworking techniques that are as unusual as the materials used. The gallery regularly offers a selection of Altruda’s jewelry, but this is a rare opportunity to view all available new work while meeting the artist and discovering the latest evolution of her style. Champagne and light refreshments will be served, and the trying-on of small adornments will be much encouraged. Followers and collectors of Altruda’s work appreciate her passion for materials with a past, devotion to hands-on metalsmithing, and her design skills that turn each piece into an artful treasure to be worn. Her style is informed by the intersection of old objects and ancient technologies for working with silver, copper and gold. Though fond of unusual gems, she has found herself increasingly drawn to the luminous qualities of vintage sea glass, often of

These worn treasures with their hidden stories become a focal point in a piece of jewelry, sometimes accented with a sparkling diamond to point the way to the mysteries within. Through the meticulous process of creation these small works of art are embellished with intricate textures and patinas evocative of ripples on sand, wind-carved wood or underwater shadows.

Altruda trained formally as a goldsmith and gem setter in a traditional jewelry environment, and mastery of these skills allowed her to develop her own designs and create jewelry that speaks to her values, interests and lifestyle. From the small studio tucked above her home in remote Tokeland, Washington, a village huddled along the northern shores of Willapa Bay, she forms metal through techniques that were first developed thousands of years in the past. Over the years she has sought out mentors who could teach her ancient methods and how to make the simple tools used in the often complex processes to create her signature jewelry. The passion to learn old techniques anew has led her overseas to England and Ireland to learn copper etching and Celtic silver chasing. During long winter evenings she has studied online and experimented in her studio to master traditional Japanese patina and alloy techniques. Always evolving, she continues her journey, transforming materials and knowledge from history into treasures for today.

Nap Fort

They agreed because, well, they relished the idea of two hours at the beach during the middle of the school day and eating free Subway sandwiches courtesy of their teacher. On the bus to Fort Stevens Sate Park, I struck up a conversation with Rooper, the 20-year veteran driver. “I’ve taken kids everywhere,� he said, “but never to build driftwood forts.� He said it with a smile. He was one of us. I promised him a sandwich. As we neared the park, I started outlining the trip’s itinerary when a student raised his hand and said, “Mr. Love, can we just go to the beach and see what happens and build what we want?� I waited 1.5 seconds before answering. “Yes.� There should never be an agenda when building a driftwood fort. That’s the whole point. Nothing like a kid wearing his baseball cap sideways who has never built a fort to remind the Master. By they way, 13 out of the 15 students on the trip had never built one and they all live 15 miles from the ocean. We hit the beach, and all unfolded as it should. Two different teams built two totally different forts: One was for a nap, the other for a party. At one point, I was building the roof of the nap fort when a student asked, “What happens when you’re building one of these and it collapses?� “It never does,� I said. I turned to another student who was weaving a beaver stick into the roof and asked, “And why is that?� “Because we worked together to leverage all the different shapes in the wood to make the fort sturdy,� he said. “Yes,� I said. He then climbed inside the fort, closed his eyes, and started taking a nap. It looked pretty restful in there.

I had only one stipulation: the students in my English Credit Recovery class at Astoria High School had to address me as Master Fort Shredder for the duration of our field trip to build driftwood forts.

natural predators, the Southern Resident orca population that navigates the waters off Washington state and British Columbia were nonetheless added to the U.S. Endangered Species list in 2005, due to dwindling food supplies, pollution and other factors

noun 1. Orcinus orca: a blackand-white, toothed sea mammal of the oceanic dolphin family and the only surviving member of the genus Orcinus. Commonly referred to as the “killer whale,� they have also been called “blackfish� and “grampus� at various times. Found in every ocean, adult males can grow up to 30 feet long and weigh upwards of 4 tons. Though considered an apex predator, feasting on fish and other sea mammals with no known

Origin: Around 1865. New Latin by way of Latin. The ancient Romans first recorded orca in C.E. 16, meaning a kind of whale, and possibly arising from the Greek ŕŠ•ČĄČŁČ&#x; which referred to a type of pick-ax used for digging as well as a great fish. Negative connotation has long followed the blackfish as orca shares the same root as Orcus, the Latin word for “Hell,â€? from which ogre is also speculated to rise from. Enters English as orc in the late 16th century also referring to a large whale

and French as orque, which had been used to describe a sea monster. By 1841, the generic term “killer whale� had been introduced and would become the go-to name for English-speaking scientists for more than the next hundred years. It has only been since the 1960s that term orca has reemerged as the preferred nomenclature due in part to diminish the negativity associated with “killer,� but also because the species is more closely related to the dolphin than to other whales. “The ‘killer’ whale — a numerous species in North Atlantic waters, as well as in the Pacific — is a far more dangerous animal than any shark, if interfered with by man. It is a true whale, and therefore a mammal and not a fish. Sharks are stupid creatures, but the ‘killer’ is extremely intelligent and cunning. It will not eat a man (so far as known), but, if pursued, it will turn upon a boat and smash it to
