Coasties are a fairly open bunch, willing to divulge details of just about everything, be it their political leanings; their weight; or a blow-by-blow history of their last surgery. But that all changes when mushroom season starts. If an Englishman’s home is his castle then an Oregonian’s mushroom spot is their bunker — its location revealed on a strictly need-to-know basis. This tight-lipped approach to fungi can make it hard for beginners to get their foot in the door. If you’re hunting chanterelles and lobster mushrooms, do you even know what they look like or where to start looking to find them? Or which mushrooms should only be looked at and not eaten? These questions and more will be answered in Mushroom Talk, Walk, Hunt & Taste, an outdoor workshop led by botanist and fungi enthusiast Ida Gianopulous on Sunday, Oct. 6. The Sunday morning walk, offered by the Lower Nehalem Community Trust (LCNT), will take place at the beautiful Oswald West State Park and Short Sands Beach near Manzanita. Participants will be encouraged to use all their senses to develop skills for recognizing mushroom habitat and ecology and identify both edible and inedible mushrooms.

A former LCNT stewardship coordinator and currently conservation assistant for the Whidbey Camano Land Trust in the Upper Puget Sound area, Gianopulous grew up in a family of mushroom hunters and has long been fascinated with the ecology of the Pacific Coast forests. Her curiosity about the mysterious world of fungi led her to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in biology at Humboldt State University. The workshop will run from 10 am to noon and will conclude with a tasty post-walk mushroom snack.

The fast and the curious Devils Lake braces itself for an influx of powerboats; weird, wonderful — and fast TODAY photos

By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Fans of teen pop sensation One Direction are in for a terrible disappointment this weekend when powerboat time trials hit Devils Lake in Lincoln City. In these races, one direction just won’t cut it. Only two will do. That’s because racers are hoping to set new records for what is regarded as America’s fastest lake — and they don’t want wind interference to derail their efforts. So, to offset any effect from the wind, drivers complete one run upwind and one downwind, with the two times then combined to create an average. The Rockey Stone Memorial Kilo, or kilometer, race honors the man who was the main organizer when time trials started on Devils Lake in the 1950s. Stone was an expert powerboat racer who dominated the Hearst Regatta in Long Beach, winning the event so many times that organizers retired the trophy to him. While the kilo races have been held annually on Devils Lake for many years, this year sees the introduction of a new distance — a quarter-mile course named in honor of John Myers, a longtime boat racer and machinist from Seattle who was instrumental in building the timing equipment used for the powerboat races. Race organizer Allen Thorsten said this is the first year that the American Power Boat Association has sanctioned quarter-mile courses and he anticipates the new event will draw a crowd of competitors.

He said the traditional kilometer races have become dominated by boats designed to do one thing — go really fast in a straight line. “To get some of these records, that’s what you need to do,” he said, adding that not many people have the time and money to dedicate to such a specialized boat. Rules for the new quarter mile race, however, require that it be run with regular competition boats, which are more versatile and within reach of a wider range of drivers. Thorsten said Devils Lake’s length makes it a perfect venue, giving the boats plenty of room to get up to speed before entering the courses and to slow down afterward. He said drivers have to be careful when slowing down not to simply cut the throttle completely — a move he said could lead to air getting trapped under the back of the boat, causing it to flip. The other thing that makes Devils Lake such a good site for racing is its sea-level altitude, providing the boats’ engines with oxygen-rich air that leads to high performance. “It’s known to be the fastest body of water in the U.S.,” he said. Boats will be going in the water at Devils Lake State Recreation Area, just off East Devils Lake Road, with the public invited to watch the craft being prepared. Thorsten said parking might be limited due to the large number of racers expected. Perhaps the best spot for a view of the races is Sand Point Park, also off East Devils Lake Road but about two miles further north. Thorsten said the park gives a great view looking

straight down the racecourse and is also where drivers in the quarter-mile race will perform their turns. Races will start shortly after sunrise on both Saturday, Oct. 5 and Sunday, Oct. 6, with the smaller hydroplanes taking advantage of the calm conditions. As the chop increases in the afternoon, inboard rigs will take over, yielding to the outboards when calm conditions return in the evening. Races will continues until half an hour before sunset each day.

Wriggle your way in Feeling good because you compost your table scraps rather than throw them in the trash? Not so fast. Turns out you might be a “Dump and Run” composter — missing out on the benefits that a good batch of worms could provide. The upcoming Master Composter Program sponsored by OSU Lincoln County Extension will give you chance to join a growing cadre of composters who use red wiggler worms to turn their kitchen scraps and organic matter into black gold. As well as vermiculture, the class covers open and closed composting systems and prepares participants to become volunteers who can teach composting workshops of their own. The classes, organized in partnership with the Lincoln County Solid Waste District and Oregon Coast Community College, run over six sessions at the college’s South Beach Campus from 1:30-4:30 pm on Nov. 5-7 and 12-14. Cost is $60. Registration deadline is Friday, Nov. 1. For details, call 541-574-6534 or stop by the OSU Lincoln County Extension Office at 29 SE 2nd Street, Newport.

Happy Days at the 60’s Café

Shake up your day with a trip back to the coolest decade of all By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

F

or wholesome family appeal, the 60’s Café in Lincoln City is tough to beat. With kids sitting down to heaping plates of burgers and fries, The Beach Boys playing on the jukebox and milkshakes being whipped up the old-fashioned way, it feels like Fonzie could walk through the door any second. “It’s a good theme,” co-owner Robert Long said. “Who doesn’t like burgers and shakes, you know?” Restaurants are a family affair for Robert and his wife, Pattie, who together with their son Aaron Paulsen also run the Chowder Bowl a few miles south in Depoe Bay. With Pattie and Aaron running the show down south, Robert manages the 60’s Café — a task that, with Pattie’s help, he fits around his day job as facility manager at the Lincoln City Community Center. A people person, Robert wishes he could spend more time at the restaurant, where he enjoys chatting with the customers and joking with the employees. Perhaps getting along with folks comes naturally when you are the youngest of nine. Robert’s first memories of Lincoln City are of camping trips when his mother would pack him and his eight siblings into the back of a ’56 Ford station wagon and head west from Sheridan for a few weeks of camping right on the beach. Amid the cacophony of ’60s paraphernalia leaping from the walls, eagle-eyed diners might be able to spot a photograph of a young Robert playing on the Lincoln City beach in 1960. The photo hangs in a section of the restaurant that he is turning into a kids’ corner and that he hopes will become home to other vintage family snaps of children enjoying the Lincoln City sands. With Robert’s day job helping with the bills, the family runs the restaurants as a labor of love as well as a means to continue donating to local kids programs — a cause that, after 25 years working in child care, is dear to Pattie’s heart. And last year, the community and local businesses got the chance to return the favor when Robert and Pattie’s other son, Matt, was diagnosed with leukemia. The couple organized fund raisers at the restaurants and in Vancouver, Washington, where Matt lives, prompting an overwhelming response from people who wanted to lend a hand. Donated auction items ran the gamut from gift baskets to hotel stays and even meals donated by competing restaurants. “We want to express our appreciation to our customers for their generosity and the donations they have made,” Robert said. “We want them to know how important that’s been for his family.” Matt has since undergone a bone marrow transplant with his brother as the donor and is continuing his recovery. One thing that guests to the café can’t help but notice is the ever-growing fleet of model airplanes hanging from the ceiling. From there, attention shifts to the walls packed with ’60s memorabilia, and diner booths with stained glass partitions and vintage stools at the counter. Changing things around and keeping the place looking fresh is one of the couple’s favorite pastimes and leads to a lot of time spent scouring garage sales. “Anything that catches our eye and will fit on the wall, we’ll pick up,” Robert said, adding that he loves to hear customers come in and

walk up to an item saying: ‘Oh I used to have one of those.’ Keeping the menu fresh is also important, with the restaurant about to add broasted chicken to a line up that already includes fish and chips, chili and a range of grilled sandwiches. That’s on top of an impressive and inventive array of burgers, including the Surfer (onions, mushrooms, avocado and Swiss), the Hawaiian (Teriyaki, pineapple and Swiss cheese) and the Whoops (with ham, cheese and a fried egg) in addition to the bestselling bacon cheeseburger. But the biggest challenge of all for hamburger fans is Bob’s Belly Buster Burger. Designed to raise the stakes offered by the restaurant’s previous challenge burger, the You Betcha Burger, the Belly Buster is twice the size, boasting a full pound of ground chuck along with two cheeses, bacon, ham, egg mushrooms and onions.

10 • oregoncoastTODAY.com • facebook.com/oregoncoasttoday • october 4, 2013

Those who conquer the Belly Buster earn themselves a T-shirt and their photo on the wall — an honor that has already been claimed by a valiant few, including a member of the Portland Big Eaters Club, who posted his victory on Youtube for the world to see. “That guy woofed that sucker down in less than 15 minutes,” Robert said. “With fries.” Whatever size of burger you choose, the 60’s Café has the perfect beverage to wash it down — a creamy, hand-dipped milkshake made to order as you watch. The servers are happy will make any combination of the 18 ice cream toppings on offer, regardless of how crazy it might be — strawberry, Oreo and butterscotch anybody? “That’s the way I remember it as a kid,” Robert said, “a row of toppings on the cooler and you pick what you want.” From the shakes to the burgers to the music, the 60’s Café creates a picture postcard image of one of the most alluring decades in U.S. history — one which Robert believes will become even more attractive as time goes on. “I think people look at it as a fun era and I think kids kind of relate to that today,” he said, “not the political turmoil, just the flower power and peace and fun.” The 60’s Café is located at 4157 NW Hwy. 101, at the west end of Lighthouse Square near Blockbuster Video. They’re open from 11 am to 9 pm Sunday through Thursday, 11 am to 10 pm Fridays and Saturdays. For more information, call 541-996-6898.

Something’s brewing in Lincoln City The Artober Brewfest returns for a third celebration of fermentation By Patrick Alexander Oregon Coast TODAY

Beer and brewmasters will take center stage on Saturday, Oct. 5, as Lincoln City celebrates the start of fall with a salute to the creative spirit in all its forms. The third annual Artober Brewfest will see the lawn at the Lincoln City Cultural Center transformed into a scene worthy of Bavaria with 13 breweries from throughout Oregon offering their lagers, stouts and IPAs to the thirsty crowd. Meanwhile, artists and artisans of all types will be offering their wares at a craft fair, selling everything from jewelry and walking sticks to plants and photography. This year is the first time the brewfest has coincided with the Lincoln City Fall

Kite Festival and organizers are hoping that many of the crowd will have worked up a thirst on the short, six-block walk from the D river Wayside to the cultural center. “Because we are so close to the kite festival, people can just walk up and visit the brewfest,” said Nonni Augustine, executive director of the Lincoln City Chamber of Commerce. As well as exposing people to a world of foamy, hoppy delights from around the state, the event serves as a fund raiser for the chamber’s activities throughout the year. After paying a $5 entry fee, guests can stroll from tent to tent, picking and choosing from the array of ales on offer. Four bands will provide live music, headlined by the Renee Hill Band, playing a range of American styles, including

rock, R&B, country, blues and folk from 5 to 6:30 pm. Idaho country performer Jimmy Bivens will kick off the music with a set from 11am to 12:30 pm, followed by local favorite Brett Lucich from 1 to 2:30 pm. From 3 to 4:30 pm, another coastal favorite, Ocean, will take to the stage with their own brand of rock n’ roll. And there’s plenty to keep the kids busy while mom and dad are tapping their feet and sampling the amber nectars. Pony rides from Green Acres Beach & Trail Rides and pumpkin-rolling

contests will provide wholesome farmstyle fun, as will a coins-in-the-hay-dive, where little ones will be invited to tear apart hay bales in search of treasure. Meanwhile, a roving caricature artist, juggler, magician and face painter will be working their way through the crowd. And, while thousands of college students try to prove otherwise, man cannot live on beer alone, so organizers have lined up a range of food vendors, from the Chowder Bowl to the desserts of My Petite Sweet. Roadhouse 101 will be serving up bratwurst and its famous macaroni and cheese while Deli 101 will have a range of sandwiches and wraps. Souvenir mugs will be available for people who want to take home a memento of the day, as will T-shirts bearing the slogan “I got mugged in Lincoln City” The brewfest starts at 11 am and runs through to 6 pm in the grounds of the Lincoln City Cultural Center, 540 NE Hwy. 101.

beach reads Library braces for foul weather — and fouler deeds With the nights drawing in and the weather getting wilder, conditions are perfect for the return of a Lincoln City tradition — the Dark & Stormy Night series that sees mystery authors from around the Pacific Northwest spin their yarns at Driftwood Public Library. Now in its 10th year, the series will kick off with a Thursday, Oct. 10, visit from Carola Dunn, author of The Daisy Dalrymple series. Set in 1920s England, the mysteries follow the inquisitive Dalrymple, a journalist who dabbles in detective work much to the displeasure of her husband, the local chief inspector. A native of the UK, Dunn now lives and works in Eugene. She is also the author of three Cornish mysteries set around 1970 and of 32 Regency romances. The event will begin at 4:30 pm at the library on the second floor of the Lincoln Square Civic Complex, 801 SW Hwy. 101.

Carola Dunn

The series continues on Thursday, Oct. 17, with a visit from internationally bestselling writer Phil Margolin, the author of 18 suspense novels and

legal thrillers. Margolin was a practicing attorney in Portland until 1996, when he took up writing full time, beginning with

“Heartstone” in 1978 and continuing up to this year’s release, “Sleight of Hand.” On Thursday, Oct. 24, the library will welcome Chelsea Cain, the author of the wildly successful, if gruesome, Gretchen Lowell novels. There are now six books in the series, including this year’s “Let Me Go.” The series wraps up on Halloween with a visit from Ann Rule, whose 1980 account of the Ted Bundy investigation, “The Stranger Beside Me,” made her the world’s best-known writer of true crime. Her 38th book, “Practice to Deceive,” was published earlier this year. Because organizers are expecting a big crowd, Rule will give her presentation at the Lincoln City Cultural Center at 6:30 pm on Thursday, Oct 31. Tickets will be required and are available for free from series organizer Ken Hobson at 541-996-1242 or kenh@lincolncity.org. There will be a limit of two tickets per person.

Atly, a designer with more than 30 years experience remodeling homes and small commercial spaces, will be showing photography and fused glass work at the exhibit. “I am inspired by light and color and serendipity,” she said, “that special moment when the light is just right; capturing that unique moment in a photograph is a special thrill.” Despite earning her bachelor’s degree with a major in art, Atly never felt inspired in her painting classes. A brief assignment in photography opened her eyes to photography as an art form and this show will include some of her early work. Meanwhile, Morris aims to show some pieces of fused glass, one oil, one

acrylic, a clay piece or two and a wall of watercolor. Impressed? Don’t be, she said. Morris claims to have no natural talent, but lots of perseverance. She signed up for every art class available to her during her time traveling the world as a Navy wife, learning from artists in the Azores, Japan and San Diego. Since joining the Yaquina Art Association, she has had a chance to grow in watercolor, clay and pastels, as well as the chance to try china painting. “I love my successes and laugh at my failures,” she said. “My failures on paper have two sides to work on,

so no problem.” The show will run until Friday, Oct. 18, with the gallery open 11 am to 4 pm daily.

Wood you believe it? The wood creations of Jack Powell will be on display at the Yaquina Art Association Gallery in Newport as a two-week Artisan Spotlight show gets underway on Saturday, Oct. 5. Having grown up in the logging town of St. Maries, Idaho, Powell has been working with wood since his time in the saw mill as a young man. Later, he perfected his skills by working for many years in a cabinet shop. He now enjoys working with scroll saws and band saws, creating mostly one-of-a-kind pieces ranging from puzzles and pictures to three-dimensional sculptures. His work can be seen every day through Oct. 18 from 11 am to 4 pm at the gallery, 789 NW Beach Drive.

You have to keep an eye on those cephalopods — they get their tentacles into everything. Like the First weekend art celebration in Toledo, which the slippery critters have hijacked for this month’s show “Squid Row.” Being five miles inland and 10 degrees warmer has not stopped octopi, squid, cuttlefish and other molluscan creatures invading Toledo for the show, which will see artists throw open their studios to the public from 11 am to 5 pm on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 5 and 6. This month’s featured artist is Heather Fortner of Sea Fern Studio, who specializes in gyotaku – or Japanese fish “The Seafarer” prints – and nature printed seaweed, corals and plants. On Saturday, Fortner will demonstrate the printing of a red Humboldt squid at 1 pm and baby octopus at 3 pm. On Sunday at 2 pm, she will show how to print cut nautilus shells on clothing. Sea Fern Studio is located at 321 SE 3rd Street. For more information, call 541-2709697 or go to heatherfortner.com. Meanwhile, Michael Gibbons will be showcasing his painting, “View at St. Louis Ponds,” a 15”-by-15” oil painting painted on location near Wilsonville, Oregon. The painting depicts the soft, watery Oregon atmosphere in a manner that Gibbons is known for in the USA and abroad.

Newport welcomes the

Top Brass to the

Oregon Coast Jazz Party By Patrick Alexander

OREGON COAST TODAY

or all the joys of a well-planned wedding, anniversary or birthday party, it is an inexplicable fact that sometimes the best celebrations are the ones that happen almost by accident. And the Oregon Coast Jazz Party, which returns to Newport for its 10th year this weekend, is a gathering geared toward creating such happy accidents — spurning rehearsed concerts in favor of throwing musicians together and waiting to hear the result. Each year since 2004, the party has brought some of the finest jazz artists from across the country to Newport, where they are mixed and matched into groups that then take to the stage, performing improvised sets in front of discerning audiences of locals and visitors. The job of mixing and matching the artists into creative combinations falls to Music Director Holly Hofmann, who said the format relies upon having a roster of performers who can rise to the occasion. “The audience is paying to hear great jazz,” she said, “and you have to have the people that can throw things together and make them sound like they’ve been rehearsed for months.” Fortunately, Hofmann, a jazz flute artist who travels the country along with her pianist husband, Mike Wofford, has a front row seat when it comes to checking out improvisational talent. “You get to know the best of the best,” she said. But musical chops are not the only criteria for inclusion in the Newport event. With panel discussions and jazz clinics also on the agenda, Hofmann makes a point of picking performers that are easy to get along with and who enjoy talking about their music. And jazz is one of those topics that gets people talking — hailed as the great American art form and adopted, remixed and regionalized for audiences across the country and throughout the ages. How best to define the music on offer at the jazz party? Well, Hofmann said, it’s not Dixieland, it’s not trad jazz and it most certainly is not Kenny G. “It’s swinging, it’s accessible and very uplifting,” she said. “Its jazz in the tradition of the masters.”

Houston Person

Masters like Cole Porter, Duke Ellington and Gershwin — giants of the 1920s and ’30s whose performances transformed jazz from a regional style into a global phenomenon. Always at the heart of jazz has been the concept of improvisation, with artists working off each other to create unique performances with each piece. But Hofmann said this key element is often what makes people hesitant to try jazz because they fear they just won’t get it. “All you are doing is improvising over a melody,” she said. “People come up to me all the time at the festival and say ‘I’ve never been to a jazz concert and I love this.’” Each performance begins to take shape just a few minutes before the curtain rises, as the artists get together in the green room and talk about what they would like to play. After settling on a jazz standard to use as a starting point, the artists then agree on a style and then figure out which instrument will lead off. “It’s a talk through and then away they go,” Hofmann said. “It takes a certain type of artist that can do that.” With 17 master jazz musicians taking part in the match up sessions, there is sure to be something to appeal to everyone’s ear. For Hofmann, a highlight is the all-solos performance, scheduled for 11:30 am on Saturday, Oct. 5. Six artists, playing everything from tenor saxophone to drums, will come on stage one after the other — sharing their reasons for choosing their solo piece with the audience before getting underway. While the party brings in visitors from Portland and further afield, most of whom make use of a weekend pass, local jazz fans are in the enviable position of being able to pick and choose their sets based on which artists they most want to see. This year’s party sees the return of Houston Person on the tenor sax, one of the artists most requested by coastal fans. Described by Hofmann as “an elder statesman of jazz,” the South Carolina native boasts a soulful tenor sound and is known for his unique selections from the Great American Songbook. And audiences will also get the chance to hear one of the coast’s most accomplished jazz groups, with the Newport Coast Jazz Allstars providing the entertainment at a free meet and greet on Saturday afternoon. John Bringetto said he and his band mates, Jim Cameron and

The Bill Charlap Trio

Ron Green, will present a program of straight ahead jazz with a few Latin numbers thrown in for good measure. A mainstay of the coastal jazz scene, Bringetto said the party is a great opportunity to mingle with and learn from other performers. “It’s a great thing to be able to listen to everybody else’s ideas,” he said. “That always sparks something new for me.” A music teacher at Newport High School, Bringetto said several of his students are attending the party, either as audience members or ushers, getting the chance to see one of the town’s biggest cultural events firsthand. “We have the symphony, the big bands that play all the time,” he said. “This is the frosting on the cake.” For more information, go to www.oregonjazzparty.org See SCHEDULE on Page 20

C O M M E N TA R Y • B Y M A T T L O V E

To build a fort W

e carried, coaxed, hoisted, angled, positioned, buttressed, wedged and interlocked driftwood for hours and hours, into the night, fueled by beer and wine and other legal medicines and a shrimp stir fry cooked on a bonfire. We were “Lord of the Flies” and “Gilligan’s Island” and the Tower of Babel and “Fear and Loathing in South Beach” all rolled into one roiling architectural circus. There were dogs, coast veterans, an aspiring social studies teacher, freaks, fire, fairies, candles, ghosts of Oswald West and Tom McCall, a typewriter, poetry, a siren, a mermaid, a mortgage broker, and the old sound of the ocean driving us mad with absurd ambition and preposterous vainglory. Higher and higher we went one crazy July afternoon and evening and morning. We were young, ancient and unstoppable and had no blueprint guiding us to build the greatest driftwood fort in the history of the Oregon Coast, a Colosseum, an Acropolis, a World Trade Center, an Astrodome. We hardly needed a blueprint; something deep, crustacean, and salty within our collective archetypes would draw up plans for us on the spot. “I am the sea! I am the sea!” shouted D.H. Lawrence. We heard his ripples through the eons of aquatic Einstein time and surfed them forever in our minds. The build culminated the mythical Season of the Driftwood Forts. I saw them everywhere this summer. I built or remodeled or decorated them

everywhere. I was dreaming forts, documenting forts, extolling forts, napping, writing and wrestling hippie angels inside of forts. I wanted to live in one or become one. We were fortified on the wonderful senseless purpose of building a master fortification, an ultimate fort, the Stepmother of All Oregon Coast Driftwood Forts, a mansion in the sand, a shelter in the rain, crafted by hands and tides, sweat and storms, constructed from logs and planks, flotsam and jetsam, all manner of organic and man-made detritus washed ashore from denuded watersheds and an obliterated Japan. There was enough driftwood scattered around our random site to build a celebrity complex of forts, but we would erect just one, a grand wooden palace that would stand for less than an eternity and enchant anyone who happened across its crooked magnificence. We wanted every visitor to stand there, agape, then kneel, dumbfounded, dizzied, blinded by the fort, and ask a million unanswerable questions of this oracle. Visitors, especially the children, would remember us forever without ever knowing who we were because our fort inspired fortitude for life and love and building the fort within not yet built. Our leaderless leader was a man named James Herman, an artist, a writer, a photographer, a camper, a seeker, a savant, with the blood of Steve Prefontaine and Ken Kesey and Bigfoot streaming through his veins, who, next spring, will release the greatest book in the history of world literature on the subject of driftwood forts. I thought I was the expert and I relish being wrong in my colossal arrogance. After meeting James and hearing his vision, I became his acolyte, and well, his publisher, too. And that’s what we were really doing, finishing his book, because he didn’t have an ending. At some point, we finished the fort, christened it, gave it no name to keep it all opaque and ephemeral, stepped back and marveled. The moon and stars emerged. A couple of drunks wandered through, joined us, ate red meat, switched on XM radio from a boombox and called up some classic rock, the

Doors or Loverboy I think. There were hosannas all around, clouds of ceremonial smoke, streaks of blackberries, and screw top sacrifices to the patron saints of weird secular monuments. Our fort — if fort is the word — was epic and magisterial to behold. It had three rooms, a roof, a studio, and a library stocked with all the good dead Romantic poets who drank port from human skulls! A rock band could have gigged inside! I was ready to book Neil Young and Crazy Horse! Neil would have played for free if only for want of trying to crumble the fort with one of his endless broadsides of feedback, kind of like a Jericho in reverse. James got his ending. A few days later, State Parks employees tore it down. So be it. Bureaucracies are bureaucracies. In our minds, we’ll keep building that fort bigger, stronger and more ineffable, building it a thousands times over. Good play — on the beach and in life — leads to bold imagination and a bureaucracy-free soul. Besides, we still made Oregon history that day and night and confirmed the first and last axiom of driftwood fort building: nothing is permanent. That is and is not a metaphor.
