Ashanti, one of the fastest rising stars of the decade, will perform at Chinook Winds Casino Resort on Friday, March 13, and Saturday, March 14. Tickets are on sale now and range from $30 to $45. Both shows start at 8pm. Ashanti blasted onto the urban music scene in 2002, topping the charts with multiple singles at once. Ashanti built her reputation in duets with famous rappers like Ja Rule, Fat Joe, and the Notorious B.I.G. It didn’t take Ashanti long to make a name for herself: her debut album topped the Billboard album chart just as her debut solo single, “Foolish,” was topping the Hot 100. Ashanti’s duet with Ja Rule, “Always on Time,” hit number one on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in early 2002, just as “What’s Luv?,” a duet with Fat Joe, was creeping toward the same number one position. These two singles set the stage perfectly for Ashanti’s self-titled debut album release. The album’s lead single, “Foolish,” raced up the Hot 100 chart, entering the Top Ten. Her other two songs “Always on Time” and “What’s Luv?,” gave her three Top Ten songs in the same week. With all this chart-topping, Ashanti set some impressive sales records and her success continued. She returned in 2003 with her second album, “Chapter II,” which topped the Billboard album chart on the heels of its hot lead single, “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby).” Don’t miss Ashanti at Chinook Winds Casino Resort March 13 & 14, 2009.

His name was Dr. Bob Bacon and back in 1967 he helped fight for passage of the Beach Bill, one of the most important laws ever passed in Oregon. Everyone reading this essay benefitted from this law but I doubt very many of you have heard the story of Dr. Bacon’s heroism. The Beach Bill forever preserved the dry sands areas of our ocean beaches for exclusive public use and is why Oregon is Oregon. It’s also why we all love the coast and get to do all the crazy things we want at the beach and some Matt prudish trophy Love home owner or fat security guard wearing a headset can’t tell us to knock it off. The law was nearly tabled in the House of Representatives by a cabal of coastal Republican lawmakers, but through sheer, hard, unpaid labor, an uncompromising attitude, and a stroke of luck, Bacon, who worked full time as an anatomy professor at OHSU at the time, fought successfully to keep it alive. Without him, our beaches might very well look like Malibu’s minus all the bikinis and palm trees. Exactly what kind of labor? He helped start a grass roots organization known as the Citizens to Save Oregon’s Beaches (the SOB’s as the developers called them!) that became the public face of opposition to those who wanted to privatize our public beaches. He hit the rubber chicken circuit and gave speeches to any civic group that would have him. He testified in Salem. He went on the radio, made phone calls and met sinister legislators in dive bars who told him to compromise or he could forget about the Beach Bill passing (he refused). He was told by his employer to lay low and not get involved in politics. Bacon refused and nearly sacrificed his medical career. He did all of this and much more and wasn’t paid a cent. Eventually the Beach Bill passed and created one of the unique relationships in the world between a state’s citizenry and a natural resource. Had the Beach Bill not passed, I doubt I would have Dr. Bob Bacon become the Oregon writer I did. I also know I would most likely be spiritually dead. It was my great honor to interview Dr. Bacon in Gearhart back in 2003 for my first book, “Grasping Wastrels vs. Beaches Forever Inc.” Below is a brief excerpt: Love: Did you guys celebrate when you found out the Beach Bill got signed? Bacon: I don’t know. There was such a sense of relief and the reduction of pressure. I think everybody sort of collapsed. I strongly suspect that there were a few martinis. I was known amongst some of my students as martini maker back then too. Love: Was that your drink of choice back then? Bacon: Yes. Love: Gin or vodka? Bacon: Gin, the only true martini. Love: And what brand was your favorite? Bacon: Oh gosh, I don’t remember. Love: Were you a Tanqueray fan? Bacon: I don’t recall that in those days there was Tanqueray. I am a wine person largely today, but the only real cocktail is a martini. True martini. It’s called a Sapphire. Bombay Sapphire. A Bombay Sapphire martini is really something wonderful. After the interview I took Dr. Bacon to the Sandtrap Inn in Gearhart for a drink. I bought an Oregon hero a Bombay Sapphire martini and I insisted it be a double. I had one too. When they came, I raised my glass and toasted this excellent Oregon man for all his effort on preserving Oregon’s ocean beaches. As should you. But a toast is only one way to honor Dr. Bacon. In the last years of his life, he fought hard for the establishment of marine reserve areas in Oregon’s offshore territorial waters (0-3 miles out). The fate of these reserves is currently unknown and in the hands of the Oregon Legislature. The story of the battle to pass the Beach Bill and the story of the battle to establish marine reserves have fascinating similarities and some of the same stock characters. Should the reserves program gain legislative approval, one of the areas should be named after Dr. Bob Bacon. People should read his name on an Oregon map for the rest of the time Oregon is a state.

Right now, across the country, Americans are trading brand names for generics, café lattes for Folgers, and nights on the town for a potluck and Monopoly. Here on the Oregon coast, however, our simple pleasure is also an international luxury. Because we’re so close to the source, we can enjoy fresh seafood at prices that make the rest of the penny-pinching country drool. Oysters for $7 a dozen? Dungeness crab for $7 a pound? With a little extra work, however, seafood lovers can get an even better price: a mussel beard’s shy of free. Once you purchase your annual shellfish license from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife ($6.50 a year for residents, $16.50 for non-residents) you can harvest bay clams and mussels to your 20 • oregon coast today • 6 march 2009 heart’s content or the daily limit, whichever comes first. You’ll need a few simple tools, a low tide and a phone number: the ODFW’s shellfish safety hotline (800-4482474). Real pros would add a pair of good boots and waterproof gloves, but as the photos here demonstrate, neither are strictly required. When they go digging for purple varnish clams on Siletz Bay, sisters Louis and Jaders Summerton-Roe carry net bags, skinny shovels and a little confidence. Taught by their grandfather, Walt Summerton, these 15-year-old twins are often dig their limit (36) in less than 15 minutes. Even in the wintertime, they often dig in shorts and T-shirts, sometimes without shoes or gloves. That’s not an outfit that their grandfather, or their clam-digging friend Bill Lackner, would suggest for the general public. As in most outdoor activities on the coast, layering is the key. To stay warm on the flats, Bill wears waterproof socks underneath extra-large tennis shoes, and surgical gloves underneath his regular gloves. But no matter what you’re wearing, digging clams is messy, sandy work. “You can use a pump or a shovel, but it just doesn’t work as well as your hands,” said Jaders. “You just have to be willing to get dirty and cold. But it’s worth it.” Once they get their clams home, Walt will place the 2 to 3 inch clams in a pot with about 2 inches of boiling water. This technique, called blanching, opens the shells within a few minutes without cooking the clams through. He removes the clam bodies to a colander and uses cold water to remove as much sand as he can. While the oil is heating in the Presto Fry Daddy, Walt dips the clam meat in beaten eggs, then in seasoned flour. He fries them up, dries them on a paper towel and places them by his easy chair. “I eat them like popcorn while I’m watching TV,” Walt said with a dreamy smile. “You get a little sand once in a while, but they’re the next best thing to steamer clams, and you can get them anytime.” If it’s so easy, why doesn’t everybody do it? In a word, hassle. You must be prepared to properly store, wash, clean and prepare these highly perishable critters, within 24 hours of harvest. You’ll need to be tolerant of a little grit in your sink, and ghostly fish odors in your trunk. When you buy it from the market, someone else does the digging and cleaning for you. Harvest your own dinner, and you can save more than money. “It’s a great sport that can really build confidence, especially for kids. They can dig the clams and bring them home, and when you sit down with the family to eat, they can enjoy the fruits of their own labor,” Bill said. Mussels Perhaps you prefer steamed mussels to fried clams? You’re in luck, because the basalt outcroppings off the Oregon coast are home to the tasty California mussel. With a small hand tool or even just a pair of heavy gloves, you can harvest your fill of these intertidal bivalves within a few minutes. Thrown into a pasta sauce, sautéed with a bit of butter and white wine, or steamed plain, the mussel can be every bit as good as its more popular shellfish cousins, with a great deal less effort. Here’s how to do it: 1. Get legal Purchase a 2009 shellfish license from the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, available at most sporting goods and grocery stores on the coast. The cost for an annual license is $6.50 for residents, $16.50 for non-residents. Non-residents can also get a three-day license for $9. The limit is 72 mussels of any size per person, per day. 2. Find your hunting grounds Oregon’s edible mussels, mostly Mytilus edulis and some Mytilus Californianus, adhere themselves to rocky outcroppings of basalt, which dot the beaches through the central coast, and become more common as you head southward toward California. Designated marine garden areas at Cape Kiwanda, Boiler Bay, Otter Rock, Yaquina Head and Yachats are off limits, but rocks to the north and south of these areas are usually productive. In Lincoln City, intertidal zones in the Nelscott neighborhood and north Roads End have good reputations; further south, try Seal Rock or the beach south of the Yachats Marine Garden. 3. Call the hotline From time to time, the mussels’ watery food source carries bacteria that can be paralytic or even fatal to humans who ingest these toxins along with shellfish. The state tests regularly for these elements and closes areas where the levels are too high. Curious about the safety of your intended beach? Call the shellfish hotline, 800-448-2474 or 503-986-4728. 4. Find a low tide Consult a tide table that has been adjusted for the central coast (you can find these wherever you buy your license, at restaurants and hotels, or every week in the Oregon Coast Today, see page 22) and find a daylight tide. Fortunately, the tide doesn’t have to be extremely low for the mussel beds to be exposed. Plan to head out at least an hour before the official low, and always be wary of the ocean and the time. 5. Assemble your tools Mussel hunters have been known to use knives, crowbars, old scissors or gardening hand tools. Look for something that is 4 to 5 inches long and somewhat sharp at the end, which can be wedged between mussels to sever the strong threads that attach them to the rock. Heavy gloves are recommended, because the mussel shells (and the barnacles that live alongside them) are sharp. You’ll also need a container to keep them in, but it doesn’t need to hold water. For best results, wear old, weather-appropriate clothing and shoes that completely cover and protect your feet. Old tennis shoes good, sandals and flip flops bad. 6. Start picking There are no state restrictions on the legal size for harvestable mussels. Most chefs believe that adult mussels, between 2 and 4 inches long, are the tastiest. 7. Homeward bound Like other shellfish, fresh mussels are a perishable product that should be eaten right away. When you get them to the kitchen, clean them with cold running water and a stiff brush, removing as much sand and grit as you can. Discard any with open shells or excessive sand. The byssus, a clump of black, threadlike material that held the shell to the rock, can be removed before cooking, or more easily, afterwards. 8. On the plate Mussels are cultivated and prized all over the world, so the recipe possibilities are endless, from baked to bisque, chowder to salad. They can be steamed and served with garlic butter, or tossed with pasta and sauce. Learn more Despite the most excellent directions we’ve offered here, you might enjoy a hands-on lesson from a pro.

Here’s the current schedule; for details, head to clamdigging.info Tuesday, May 12 Bill returns to Lincoln City for the Driftwood Public Library’s Coastal Encounters program. He’ll give a 6 p.m. lecture at the library on Tuesday and lead a purple varnish clam dig on Wednesday. The low tide of -.37 occurs at 10:34 a.m. Sunday, May 24 There will be lecture on Sunday in Newport, location TBA. On Monday, May 25, Bill will lead a gaper clam dig by the sea wall in Yaquina Bay, with boat transportation provided. The -2.51 low tide occurs at 7:42 a.m. Tuesday, May 26 A 6 p.m. lecture in a Garibaldi location (still TBA), followed by a gaper clam dig at the Garibaldi Tidal Flat at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, May 27. A -1.94 tide occurs at 9:42 a.m. Bay clams The bays of the central coast are home to several types of clam, including cockles, littleneck, butter and softshell. Tillamook and Yaquina bays are famous for their beds, but locals swear by Netarts and Alsea, too. Those native clams inhabit muddy zones exposed in daylight minus tides, which arrive at the end of March and occur every two to three weeks through the summer. Until then, diggers like Bill Lackner often pursue the purple varnish clam, a non-native species that inhabits the sand substrate far above the native clams. Productive beds are exposed in any low tide that’s is +3 feet or less, in areas like Sand Lake, Netarts and Siletz. Bill has tried every clam variety and dig method there is, in every location he can find on Oregon’s coast. The author of two books on the subject, “Oregon’s Razor Clams” and “Oregon’s Bay Clams,” he conducts clinics, workshops and field trips throughout the year. He discovered the joys of purple varnish clams about 10 years ago. “They’re so easy to dig and they’re easy to clean. And they’re delicious when they’re fried,” he said. “They’re a wonderful way to introduce people to our bay clams. Then you can graduate to cockles, razor clams, whatever you like.” Ready to dig? Here are the basics. 1. Find the beds Using a book or a personal recommendation (ask at sporting goods stores, or at local marinas), find the basic location of the purple varnish clam beds. Head out at any low tide that is +3 feet or less. 2. Look for shows Scan the sand for a cluster of small, keyholeshaped “shows” in the sand, each hole about 1/8 of an inch across. If you find five or more, Wild Food Adventures Nutritionist John Kallas, Ph.D, leads excursions for wild foods across the state. Each of Kallas’ scheduled coast workshops costs about $25. The Native Shores Wild Food Rendezvous, a four-day adventure, costs $310. To register, call 503-775-3828 or write to [email protected] April 26 May 9 May 10 May 22-25 June 7 July 5 July 25 Bill Lackner, Louis Summerton-Roe and Jaders Summerton-Roe head south on Siletz Bay after digging their limit of purple varnish clams. Above, Jaders finds a sandy trove of the bivalves. that’s a likely spot. Another good sign is the presence of small flakes of shell near the shows. 3. Start digging Dig a hole between 6 inches and 10 inches deep. Carefully dig away layers of sand until you encounter clams, then enlarge the hole. It’s common to find more than 10 from a single hole (the limit per person is the first 36 taken). Clams 2 inches in diameter, or wider, offer the best meat yield. 4. Clean’em up Purge the clams of sand and other particles by placing them in a solution of 1½ cups of rock salt to every four gallons of fresh water. Adding two crushed cloves of garlic, Bill said, will also help the clams purge themselves of unwanted grit. Let them filter in the bucket for 24 hours, turning occasionally. Or, use Walt Summerton’s method outlined above: blanch, remove, then gently massage the meats.

Noteworthy: February’s rain total was less than half of average, with only 16 days of measurable rain. The most rain recorded in a 24-hour period as 0.9. The beach saw two snow events, 1/2 inch that melted by noon and a groundcover trace, a mix of snow and hail. In 1999: Ten years ago this month experienced six rain events of 1-inch plus. The most rain in 24 hours was 1.8 inches. There was an earthquake in Woodburn that measured 2.7 on the Richter scale, several hail and thunder storms, and one green flash sunset. Forecast: March entered like a lion, especially on the East Coast, with a major Nor’easter. Not to be outdone, Oregon had a wind and rainstorm. There is a strong possibility March will continue the dry trend, with temps slightly below average.
