About the Shelburne
The Shelburne Inn was es-
tablished in 1896 as a coastal
retreat for city visitors.
Charles Beaver built the
Victorian-style inn as his
home and boarding house,
gracing it with the name
Shelburne after a grand ho-
tel in Dublin, Ireland. In
1911 the building was pulled
across the street by a team of
horses and adjoined to an-
other building to accommo-
date its increasing numbers
of summer guests. During
that era, visitors arrived from
Portland via the side-wheeler
T.J. Potter, a ferry from As-
toria to Megler and the Clam
Shell Railroad to one of its
main stops, The Shelburne
Station.
Four major phases of refur-
bishing have been completed
to date, and the inn is listed
on the National Register of
Historic Places. Campiche and
Anderson have owned and op-
erated the inn since 1977.
Today, the Shelburne Inn
offers 15 antique-appointed
guestrooms, all with private
baths and many with private
decks. A gourmet breakfast is
included for overnight guests
as are complimentary coffee
and tea in the lobby.
The inn serves breakfast,
lunch and dinner daily at the
Shelburne Restaurant and
Pub.
Building from local and
Northwest ingredients, the
restaurant menu and pub fare
provide choices for both ca-
sual and ¿ne dining. Heritage
breads, pastries and desserts
are prepared in the in-house
bakery. The dining room is
notable for its art nouveau
stained-glass window, which
was salvaged from a church
in Morecambe, England.
With an eye on the inn’s
future, Anderson and Cam-
piche are immersing Ilwaco
High School students into
the hospitality industry, with
a focus on the culinary arts.
With a daily class at the inn,
participants in the ProStart
program are given hands-on
instruction and experience in
food preparation as well as
hospitality and management
training.

ASTORIA — Jaime Leopold
& the Short Stories will per-
form at the Fort George Brew-
ery at 8 p.m. Sunday, March
27. The brewery is located at
1483 Duane St.; the show is
open to all ages, and there is
no cover.
The band¶s name is ¿tting,
led by Leopold, who regales
audiences with stories from
his rich past as a musician
and artist in the halcyon days
of the 1960s. Leopold was
the original bass player in the
cult band Dan Hicks and the
Hot Licks.
Playing all original music,
Jaime Leopold & the Short
Stories celebrate a wild deck
of characters in the style of
what the band calls Ameri-
can quirk: folk, country and
acid memory. It’s a collabo-
rative effort with all the band
members contributing to this
genre-bending music.
The band features Leopold
on guitar and vocals, Jennifer
“the Polish Princess” Smieja
on vocals, Clark “the Rev-
erend” Salisbury on guitar,
Aaron “Gatemouth” Lowe
on harmonica, J. Michael
Kersey on bass, and Eugene
Fred Ingram on drums.
Leopold’s songs are in-
spired by his early years in
the Haight-Ashbury district
of San Francisco as a part
of the youth culture move-

SEAVIEW, Wash. — March 4,
2016 – The Shelburne Inn,
Restaurant & Pub is cele-
brating 120 years of contin-
uous operation in 2016. To
mark the milestone, longtime
owners David Campiche and
Laurie Anderson are present-
ing a full calendar of special
events for returning and new
guests.
“Being key holders to
a landmark inn has many
rewards,” said Anderson.
“We’re happy to have suc-
cessfully retained the char-
acteristic charm of the Shel-
burne Inn while keeping pace
with the needs of today’s dis-
cerning traveler.
“We’re especially pleased
to mark the 120th year of
the inn’s operation with en-
tertaining events that speak
to the essence of this unique
property, summarized best
by our tagline, ‘The Shel-
burne Inn, established 1896,
grounded in tradition, bound
by none.’”
Toasting the occasion, a
series of Wine Dinners have
been planned with Arcane
Cellars (March 25), William
Hatcher Pinot Noir and A to
Z Wineworks (May 13) and
Woodhouse Wine Estates
(Nov. 4).
A feast for the senses with
a good cause, a Middle East-
ern Dinner, complete with
belly dancers, will be pre-
sented April 20, as a bene¿t
for Syrian Refugees.
The Shelburne will part-
ner with local craft brewery
North Jetty (Sept. 16) and
Seattle’s Pike Brewing Com-
pany (Oct. 28) for Beer Din-
ners.
An accomplished potter,
Campiche’s hand-thrown tea
bowls will be set for a Japa-
nese Tea on June 26. A Hem-
mingway Dinner (July 9) and
a Jane Austen Tea (Dec. 17)
are also among the mix, as
are classic cocktail (May 27)
and sake (June 25) tastings.
A talk about vintage lace and
styles will evoke a feeling of
times past at light afternoon

ment of the day. He hung
out with many legends of
those times, including Al-
len Ginsburg, Neal Cassady
and Jerry Garcia, and was
present at seminal counter-
culture events like the 1967
Human Be-in, Ken Kesey’s
Acid Tests, The Death of
Hip, and the Avalon Ball-
room and Fillmore Audito-
rium music scene.
Leopold, totting his up-
right bass from his hometown
of Portland to San Francisco,
played in The Orkustra, a
psychedelic electri¿ed or-
chestra, before becoming the
original and longtime bass
player for Dan Hicks and the
Hot Licks.After four well-re-
ceived albums with the band,
he moved back to Portland,
rasied a family — and never
stopped scribbling in his mu-
sical diary. His approach to
art and life was strongly in-
Àuenced by those freewheel-
ing times.
Jaime Leopold & the
Short Stories continue to
bring new tales of truth and
consequence to all those
willing to slow down and
take a listen. The group’s lat-
est album is “Live At O’Con-
nor’s,” a venerable Portland
roadhouse.
