elcome to the 2013 Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival special edition of Coast Weekend. Inside you’ll find feature articles dedicated along the lines of the popular crab fest, including Oregon and Washington wines, recipes to try at home, the intricacies and art behind making a crab pot, and details on the three-day festival itself. For a look at the entertainment, behind-the-scenes organization and a copy of the shuttle bus schedule of the festival, turn to Page 16. Drawing an estimated 16,000 people to the area, the Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival is the long-running winner of Coast Weekend’s Readers’ Choice Award for Best Local Festival. So it’s not something to be missed. In fact, one of my friends who has lived in Astoria for about three years mentioned the festival to me back in January. “You have to go,” she said. Word on the street of the festival breakdown is this: Friday is
mostly for locals, Saturday sees many tourists, and Sunday is especially kid and family-friendly.
T
his was my first Earth Day here on the North Coast. Maybe it’s because I manage a weekly magazine full of events and I’m just naturally more aware – but I have to say, I was almost blown away by the sheer number of environmental-related events and Earth Day celebrations in the area. Various farms and gardens had work days and potlucks. There were tree plantings, activities for kids, city and
beach cleanups, and presentations galore. Cannon Beach dedicated 12 full days of events to Earth Day with art shows, authors, exhibits, the Haystack Rock Awareness Program and more. Some friends of mine even threw an Earth Day party, complete with costumes and decorations. I’ve seen Earth Day celebrated in other communities I’ve lived in, but not on the scale of the Columbia-Pacific region. I’d just like to draw some well-deserved attention to the many organizations, groups and people
who recognize the need and worth of Earth Day awareness. Thank you for celebrating a fun and relevant holiday and reminding us all that caring for our planet is important. Even in an area full of the bounties of nature – forest, river, sea and sky – we sometimes have to be reminded.

For the last 36 years as co-owner of the Shelburne Inn with my wife Laurie Anderson, I’ve watched one generation of winemakers turn the reins over to their winemaking children. A few of the early pioneers have passed. Others, like Bill Fuller, still visit. In my cellar are still a few wines from the late ’70s and early ’80s. I have a bottle of Fuller’s 1975 pinot noir that won the London International Wine Competition. Since the Pacific Northwest wine industry is relatively young, we, who have been following it since the beginning and saved a few older bottles, are now part of the experiment that will determine just how well these wines are holding. I’m here to tell you, they’re holding quite well.

Story by DAVID CAMPICHE
The variety of wines has expanded exponentially. In the old days, the only choices were pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon and chardonnay. Ten years after planting pinot noir in the Willamette Valley,
In 1976, David Lett shocked the French with a first prize in an international pinot competition in Paris. Nobody but Lett could even pronounce ‘Oregon.’

avid Lett introduced Pacific Northwest wines to the Pacific Northwest and the world. More precisely, he was the first to plant pinot noir grapes in Oregon and to place the Pacific Northwest on the map as a wine region. In 1976, he shocked the French with a first prize in an international pinot competition in Paris. Nobody but Lett could even pronounce “Oregon.” Affectionately known as “Papa Pinot,” he was a Hemingway look-alike (and self-proclaimed curmudgeon) with intellectual prowess and a personality this writer appreciated. Soon after Lett planted his vines, other pioneers like Bill Fuller (Tualatin Vineyards), Dick Erath of Knutson-Erath and Dick

and Nancy Ponzi (Ponzi Vineyards) quickly followed. Myron Redford at Amity was and is a kick. His wines are exceptional. The folks at SokolBlosser were and are tremendously talented. The kids have grown up and now run the winery. Soon enough the flood gates opened, as they did in Washington State. Today the number of winemakers exceeds 1,600. Recently, The Wine Spectator declared that Oregon made as good a pinot as anyone in the world. They might have asked. Most of us knew that. Thirty years ago, a farmer in bib overalls brought a bottle of his son’s chardonnay to the Shoalwater Restaurant at the Shelburne Inn. “Want to try it?” he graciously asked. He was on a fish-
ing trip – fishing to sell his son’s wines. Tony Kischner of Bridgewater Bistro in Astoria thought he would give it a try, though he may have been a wee-bit skeptical. When he poured the golden elixir through his lips, his eyes enlarged three sizes. That wine belonged to Woodward Canyon in Walla Walla, Wash., and in a few years those wines would create a sensation. Competing for the coveted Wine Spectator’s Best 100 Wines of the World, Rick Small’s chardonnay landed in the top 10. To a large extent, that is how it went: success after success. Small and his family had lots of fine competition from their neighbors. Washington State quickly became famous for the richness and diversity of its wines.
Lett introduced pinot gris and the race was on. There are dozens of varieties today. Randy Finlay at Mt. Baker Vineyards plants 24 varieties himself. Names like siegerrebe, marsanne and sangiovese spark the imagination. Doug McCrea from McCrea Vineyards introduced Rhone-style wines to Washington State. Of course, merlot is as natural to the soils of the Yakima Valley as pinot is to the Willamette. But there are dozens, if not hundreds of choices. All this is to say that we have become devotees to the grape: “Bottle of red, bottle of white, it all depends upon your appetite,” or something close to that. Thank you, Billy Joel. Recently, the Shelburne Restaurant & Pub received the Award of Excellence from the Wine Spectator. Like the rest of the oenophiles in our Northwest, I continue to learn as much from the newer winemakers as from old friends. It is simply impossible to name them all. Doug Tunnell from Brick House rises like cream to the top, but I could add hundreds more. Still, the best lesson I ever received was from an Italian chef and innkeeper, Mario Corsi. “A good wine,” he said, (I’m paraphrasing), “is worthless if not drunk with good friends. And, even more importantly, it must be enjoyed with food and laughter.” Samplings, generously offered at the Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival, are as good a place to begin tasting Northwest wines as any. See you there.

CRAB POTS 101
F
A catchy sport and commercial primer
Fresh Dungeness crab meat sells locally for about $30 per pound. Crab legs, or fancy legs, as they are known in the industry, sell for a lot more. Rich in nutrients and prized for its delicate flavor, if its high priced “ca-ching, ca-ching” keeps it off your table, take heart. Long Beach-area resident Phil Allen has a solution. For a lot less money and a really good time, grab a snare box, a fishing pole and a little bit of chicken or clam bait (and the more it stinks the better). Catching just three 6-inch crabs will yield close to a pound of the edible “white gold.” Allen, a self-described crabbing nut, can be found, more days than not, out on the North Jetty casting his snare box into the mighty Columbia, where he more often than not is successful. There are a few variations of snare boxes, but basically they are the same size and shape as a standard rubrics cube. Made out of wire, there’s the square box, a bait door and several loopy monofilament lines attached. Bait is put inside the snare box. The box is attached to the fishing pole, the crabber casts the box and when the crab literally “takes the bait,” a loop snares a crab claw causing the fishing pole to jiggle. The action alerts the crabber that dinner is on the way. A snare box sells for around $5 or like Allen’s, the homemade variety can be constructed for much less. “I could be out there all day, though earlier in the season a group of us regulars have our limit within a couple of hours.” said Allen. The limit is 12 male crabs measuring at least 5.75-inches across its underside. The Oregon and the Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife have websites with pertinent information. Recreational crabbing is a year-round sport. Crabbing from piers and jetties can be done with a snare box or even a simple net. From boats, crab pots or crab rings are used more often than snare boxes. Though they come in many different shapes and sizes, the recreational crab pot or crab trap (an interchangeable term) is commonly a metal cage about two feet wide by two feet long by one foot tall. A door or two on the side of the cage opens in but not out, allowing crab entry but no exit. There’s an interior wire mesh bait box, an attached rope to lower and raise the pot into the water and an identifying buoy allowing the crabber to drop the pot and leave it, returning at leisure. Crab rings are made up of two metal hula hoop-
like circles. The one on top is the larger of the two. They are surrounded and connected by netting reminiscent of a macramé bowl. A bait box is attached to the bottom crab ring. A crab pot is lowered into the water by rope, the crab climbs in the net to get the bait; the crabber feels the movement and quickly – quickly being the operative word here – pulls the basket up as the larger ring covers the smaller one, trapping the crab. Ring traps are inexpensive and store flat. The down side is that they need to be checked every 10-15 minutes so that a crab doesn’t just eat and run. As opposed to sport crabbing, commercial
Recreational crabbing is a year-round sport. Crabbing from piers and jetties can be done with a snare box or even a simple net. From boats, crab pots or crab rings are used more often than snare boxes crabbing is serious business. First, there is a definite crabbing season determined by the Oregon and Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife. In season, commercial crab boats spread thousands of crab pots along the ocean floor. Large cylindrical pots measure between 36 to 42 inches in diameter. A 38-inch pot weighs about 95 pounds. The pots are round stainless steel cylinders wrapped in rubber. Two tunnels or “escape” doors trap crabs measuring 6.25-inches across, the minimum keeper size allowed, and let undersized crabs out. Polysteel rope for lowering and raising the pots, bait cans, buoys, straps and stainless hooks all add up to gear costing upwards of $250. Commercial ocean crab boats have between 300 and 500 pots. “We generally loose some gear each year. It moves based on weather, current and swells. Rough seas in 2007 moved some of it down the coast as far south as Westport,” said local commercial crabber Bill Rhodes. Out for the fun of it or crabbing commercially, the end product, the Dungeness crab, is a delicious and valued addition to our coastal bounty.
An employee knits into this commercial crab pot an "escape ring," which allows undersized crab to escape the crab pot.

NUMBER OF CRAB POTS IN THE WATER Commercial licensed crab boats: roughly 500 in Washington and 400 in Oregon. Each boat carries: 300 to 500 pots, an average of 400.

THE MOUTH’S
The Mouth’s Bloody Mary
Northwest Crab Boil
A
As a coast native, I look forward to the annual Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival, and my favorite part of it – apart from visiting with friends, family and acquaintances at what has more or less become a community reunion – is the crab. Dungeness crab is our true local delicacy, and in my opinion, it is an example of culinary perfection; all the flavors one could possibly ask for, in one, convenient shell. Although I am happy to simply crack crab and eat it purely plain, about once a year I get an itch to prepare a crab boil. Crab boils are sort of a Southern “thing” and are
INGREDIENTS Vegetable oil 4 yellow onions, peeled and sliced in thick rounds 1/3 cup Old Bay seasoning, plus more to taste 3 heads garlic, peeled, and cut in half horizontally 2 gallons crab or seafood stock 5 pounds whole baby red or yellow potatoes 6 ears corn, broken in half 2 pounds smoked, Keilbasa sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces 1 pound uncooked prawns with shells and tails Salt and freshly ground black pepper 4 to 6 Dungeness crabs Yield: 8-12 servings Time: 90 minutes
often prepared with crawfish (in some parts of the South, a crab boil is also known as “Frogmore Stew”). With our access to fresh Dungeness crab, though, I don’t see any reason why we can’t steal the concept. A crab boil is a fun event to host, and it’s sort of a culinary performance. The dish is highly customizable and can be prepared with any choice of ingredients you’d like – a little something to suit everyone’s tastes. Before you start, cover your dining surface with newspaper (I promise not to be offended if my column is included), and set out some crab crackers for your guests.
Use live crabs A crab boil must always start with live crabs, because they yield the best, freshest flavor possible. Plan on serving, conservatively, a half a crab per person if you have a lot of other ingredients in the pot, or a whole crab per person if you have big appetites. Visit your favorite local seafood market and select the crabs that seem most lively in the tank. Keep them in a wellventilated box, or if you really want to scare your guests, let them crawl around the kitchen floor. Some say that storing them in the refrigerator makes them less active later on, when they will be cooked.
The right kind of pot Next you will need a giant stock pot. I have a 40-quart one, which is about the perfect size for eight to 12 people, although you could certainly make do with a 20-quart one for a smaller crowd, or upgrade to the 60-quart one, if you’re planning on hosting a houseful. One that comes with a fitted, strainer basket inside is ideal.
What to do
A cooked crab boil – complete with corn, sausage, potatoes and whole crabs – ready to be devoured.
12 | April 25, 2013 | coastweekend.com
INGREDIENTS
Set your stockpot over medium heat, and fill it with just enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom. Add the onions, stirring occasionally, until they become translucent. Add the garlic and Old Bay Seasoning, and continue stirring occasionally until the garlic begins to soften. If you have a strainer insert for your pot, put it in now, and fill the pot with the stock. Allow the stock to come up to a simmer, and while doing so, give
24 ounces V-8 juice 1 tablespoon ground black pepper The juice of one lime and one lemon 1 tablespoon celery seed 1 ½ tablespoons freshly grated horseradish 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar 8 ounces vodka Lime wedges, celery, pickled asparagus, green olives, or other desired garnishes
your crabs a “bath” (carefully) in the sink, with a few rinses of cold water. They can be left in the sink while you proceed with the rest of your recipe (though you may have to babysit them a bit, if one tries to make a break for it). Drop in the potatoes and allow them to cook for five minutes. Next, add the sausage and corn. Continue cooking for another five minutes. Next, take a few moments to pay your respects to the crabs, and thank them for making your lovely dinner possible, before grabbing your tongs and plunging them head first, one at a time, into the simmering stock. Cover the pot with a lid (you may have to hold it shut for a few moments), return the stock to a boil, and cook for an additional 10 minutes. Remove the lid, and add the prawns, simmering until they turn pink, which should only take a few minutes.
Yield: 4 servings Time: 70 minutes
DIRECTIONS Combine all ingredients, except the vodka, in a large pitcher and refrigerate for one hour. Fill four tall glasses with ice and pour 2 oz. of vodka into each. Pour the Bloody Mary mix into each glass, filling to the top, and stirring to combine. Garnish each glass with a lime wedge, celery, asparagus stalk, or olives, to suit your tastes.
You’re done That’s it! At this point, invite your guests to the table, remove the strainer from the pot, leaving the broth behind in the pot, and, with great panache, dump the entire contents onto the newspapered table. Serve with salt and freshly ground pepper, more Old Bay seasoning, lemon wedges, cocktail sauce, and hot butter, for those who like to eat their crab that way. Top it all off with a loaf of crusty bread, a frosty bottle of light lager, a glass of sauvignon blanc, or my favorite, a bloody Mary (see the accompanying recipe above). This dish has a little something for everyone and great drama besides … what more could you ask for?

“What a great environment to spend time in. I enjoy painting the north coastal life,� Fox said. “Recently my paintings have become more impressionistic but I'm not bound by that. I am very intrigued to show my work in themes, season to season. I have painted different subjects in different ways through the years, and I am excited to show the new sea birds and shore birds supporting this spring season along the Oregon Coast."

31ST ANNUAL ASTORIA-WARRENTON AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
CRAB seafood & wine
FESTIVAL Friday to Sunday, April 26, 27 & 28
E
very year in April, a beautiful marriage occurs. From the depths of the sea, crab are called to land by Northwest fishermen while grapes are grown and harvested in vineyards from across Oregon. Destined to meet at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds every April, crab and wine meet in a kind of kismet on the palettes of thousands of people. For three days every year, the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival draws 16,000 people to the area for the event voted Best Local Festival by readers of Coast Weekend. All the hotels are full. Restaurants say it’s the busiest weekend of the year. The festival’s shuttle service ferries an endless stream of people to and from town. Inside the event, the myriad vendors offer a feast for all the senses with wine, food and handcrafted art and jewelry. Many people line up for what Regina Willkie, the marketing director of the Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce, calls “Clown Bread.” Sold by the Astoria Clowns, “it’s French bread with cheese and crab or shrimp on it. It’s very popular. They have very long lines at their booth, so people definitely look forward to that. It’s kind of a tradition every year.” In order for this festival to be such a success, a group of dedicated people work behind the scenes almost yearround to prepare for the event. “The week after it’s over, we start working on next year,” Willkie says. The Clatsop
County Fairgrounds are reserved again immediately after the festival ends. The chamber contracts with a tent company to make sure they have the large tent and chairs for the event. The police department has to be scheduled so
For three days every year, the Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce Crab, Seafood and Wine Festival draws 16,000 people to the area. they can provide off-duty officers for security. By November, applications for vendors are released. About 200 vendors will be selling their food, wine and wares at this year’s festival. Of these, 60 to 70 different vineyards and wine merchants will be represented. Many choose to participate in the annual wine competition. For
the judges, “it’s a long day and a hard process,” Wilkie says. But for the vintners who win “Best in Show,” their sales soar. Alana Kujala has been coordinating the festival and the chamber’s other annual events since 2010. According to Willkie, “she keeps all the moving parts working.” “It’s exciting to see such an enormous event from start to finish,” Kujala says. “We accomplish quite a bit and are able to keep the integrity and quality of the event so high because of the dedication of our volunteer base in this community. It really makes you feel good to share the pride of an event with all of your neighbors.” The support of many organizations and individual volunteers makes this event possible. The Astoria Band Boosters, Astoria Kiwanis Club, Astoria Railroad Preservation Association, BSA Troop 509, Shanghied Roller Dolls and the Warrenton Sunrise Rotary will be on hand to help as parking monitors and coat check and trash cleanup volunteers. “This is in addition to the approximately 200 volunteers working a shift or two – or even

three – covering a door, taking admission or answering questions at the chamber information booth,” Kujala says. Lighting is something that people often take for granted. “Wadsworth Electic is one of our major unsung heroes,” Kujala says. “They have been supplying electricity to the festival since the beginning.” One of Wadsworth’s electricians, Kevin Carson, will be lighting his 30th festival this year. “The Clatsop County Fairgrounds and its staff also goes above and beyond the call of duty in helping to prepare for one of the largest events at the fairgrounds the entire year. The staff work long hours and are invested in a quality event. It’s always a pleasure working with Gary Friedman, the Clatsop County Fair and Expo manager, and his staff,” Kujala says. Good food and drink always pair well with good music. This year will feature both “new folks and local favorites,” says Willkie. Steel drum band Sharkie & the Fins will kick off the festival at 4 p.m. Friday. Local band the Brownsmead Flats will play Saturday morning. The Astoria High School jazz band will play 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday; Kujala says they always draw a big crowd. The Knappa Marimba Band will play at the festival for the first time, 1:30 p.m. to 3:45 p.m. Sunday. The band features 11 to 13-year-old musicians. The festival has grown from its more humble beginnings 31 years ago. According to Willkie, it started as a crab feed with a small selection of wine and a few vendors. “They were out in a small building on the port, and they had a line of people before they even opened, so it’s been a popular event since the beginning,” Willkie says. “This event is clearly a community project for everyone in Clatsop County. The people in our community are providing a personal and valuable service,” Kujala says. “That makes it one of the best wine and seafood festivals in the entire state of Oregon.”

Grace Episcopal Church Local group Consort of All Sorts brings Baroque back ASTORIA — In true Baroque fashion, the Consort of All Sorts brings together an unlikely group of instruments for a concert of Baroque and Celtic music at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 26, at 7:30 p.m. at Grace Episcopal Church, 1545 Franklin St. This group of local musicians is the latest addition to the Astoria music scene and features an assortment of instruments and voices that may seem odd today but would not have been uncommon in the Baroque era. The Consort of All Sorts includes Judy Woodward on cello, Hannelore Morgan on recorder, Charles Schweigert on baroque flute, Barbara Bate on piano and Drew Herzig as the percussionist and lone singer in the group. Ray Lund will join the group on harpsichord for future concerts when he is not off playing chamber music in London, where he and his wife live part time. Friday’s concert will offer a mixture of Baroque trio sonatas by Telemann, Quantz and Naudot and a suite of contemporary
arrangements of Celtic and English folk songs. The Celtic pieces date to the 18th century

It was not at all uncommon for music in the Baroque era composed for a specific group of instruments to be played on whatever was at hand. In this case, a tenor recorder and the Baroque flute substitute well for violins in a few of the original arrangements. The name for the group comes from the title of a book
CCC Performing Arts Center Delight in the many styles of tap dance ASTORIA — Put on your tap dancing shoes and come to the annual Tap Dance Festival, Saturday, May 4, at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, at 16th Street and Franklin Avenue. The show is a collaboration of more than 60 tap dancers, fusing their talents into one show. It will put a swing in your bones, a tap to your fingers and toes, and a look at many styles of tap dance. You will see the Broadway “WOW” factor, smooth, flowing classic tap, energetic high kicks, and a flashback to the 40s.
Original works by several of the Young Choreographers will be featured, including Kaisa

by Canadian author and painter Emily Carr, who wrote a memoir of her life in Victoria, B.C., in the early years of the 20th century. The book is titled “The House of All Sorts” and it chronicles the daily life at a rooming house she ran for “all sorts” of zany characters. In the realm of music, “consort” is a somewhat antiquated term for a group of similar or dissimilar instruments or voices, a good match for this group of musicians, and a name that allows for the addition of other instruments as they are needed. It also leaves open the possibility of exploring music from other periods in addition to the Baroque. This concert by the Consort of All Sorts is free to the public, and anyone wishing to do so may make a financial contribution to the Food Pantry operated by Grace Episcopal Church, which has graciously agreed to let the Consort use its sanctuary for this event. For more information, contact Schweigert at 503-325-1895 or schweigertstudio@yahoo.com bring their creative costumes and choreography. The Main Street Tappers, an adult tap group, will bring their own style of rhythm tap to some popular music of the times, and special guests, the Hollywood Dance Center from Portland, directed by Marilynne Ward Belden, a former Astorian and former Maddox Dancer, will also perform. The grande finale is the SHIM-SHAM, which traditionally closes every show. The audience is invited to the stage for a quick tap lesson. Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for seniors and students age 12 and under. Proceeds go to the Little Ballet Theatre, grant foundation fund 501 (c)(3). For further information call 503861-1971.

First Lutheran Church
Science on Tap
Spring Art Fair ready to view
Learn how ocean waves are made, why every wave is different
ASTORIA — First Lutheran Church is currently in the middle of its second annual Spring Art Fair. The art pieces displayed are primarily the works of members and friends of the congregation. These works include paintings, photography, glasswork, woodwork, quilts, mixed media, needlework, hardanger (Scandinavian needlework) and sculpture. The show is primarily for members and friends to share their talents with one another and with other members of the community. It is not a juried show; however, some of the artists have chosen to sell their works. The show started spring 2012 as an experiment. Chairperson Launee McKinley wasn’t even certain if there would be enough response to have a show,
ASTORIA — While surfers spend their day waiting for the "perfect wave,” ships crossing the Columbia River Bar can battle waves of up to 20 feet with conditions changing from calm to lifethreatening in as little as five minutes due to changes of wind and ocean swell. Using novel techniques, and measurements from the Gulf of Alaska to the Columbia Bar, the next Science on Tap event will explore the processes that make (and break) waves in the ocean. Join the Columbia River Maritime Museum for the next Science on Tap, “Making and Breaking Waves,” 7 p.m. Thursday, May 2. Jim Thomson will share how ocean waves start as ripples in the water, grow and eventually outrun the wind and why every wave is different. After completing a Ph. D. in
but was pleasantly surprised by the number and quality of submissions last year. In the winter, the congregation sponsored a youth art show with great success. Pastor Ron McCallum commented, “It is truly amazing and inspiring to see the work that our members and friends do. We have some truly gifted artists in our congregation, and I hope others will come in to see the artwork.” The general hours for viewing the art show are 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon Sunday or other times by appointment. Call 503-325-6252 for questions or for an open time to view the art. The show runs until May 19. First Lutheran Church is located at 725 33rd St. in Astoria.

Changes planned for Spring Art Show
North Coast Big Band plays TV favorites
OCEAN PARK, Wash. — Everything evolves. After 43 years of producing art shows, the Peninsula Arts Association has decided to give the upcoming 22nd annual Spring Art Show – held 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday to Sunday, April 26 to 28 at the World Kite Museum in Long Beach, Wash. – a fresh face with an eye on creativity. “We slowly began to realize that by having so many distinct and restrictive categories, we were actually tying the hands of our artists instead of opening the lanes of creativity,” said PAA President and art show co-chair Bonnie Cozby. “Artists wanting to experiment found they were penalized in the judging process because their work did not fall (cleanly) into one of the 23 categories.

Artists now have the restraints broken. The opportunity to experiment with materials and technique has been addressed without losing the more traditional forms of art the show has built its reputation on. Subject matter will still be venue and membership appropriate and quality of presentation is expected to be as high as ever. The show remains an exhibition of fine art, but it has been given wings to fly. Another change is the deletion of the Best in Show Ribbon. In its place, the popular People’s Choice Award will be

are as follows. Any dance style or fusion of dances is allowed provided couples alternately raise their feet off the floor and dance together as a couple. Slow dance requires couples to be “in hold” or “embrace” and feet must move and/or raise alternately off the floor.

Local band the Holiday Friends from left: Jesse Wityczak, Zack O'Connor, Brian Bovenizer, Jon Fagerland, Scott Fagerland.– SUBMITTED PHOTO
Five Minutes With... HOLIDAY FRIENDS Band members and what they play: Scott Fagerland: lead vocals, guitar and synth. Jesse Wityczak: lead vocals, keyboard and synth. Zack O’Connor: vocals, bass and stand-up bass. Jon Fagerland: vocals, guitar, keyboard and aux percussion. Brian Bovenizer: drums, aux percussion and shouting. Born: Jon and Scott grew up in Long Beach, Wash.; Zack grew up in Southern Idaho; Brian hails from south side Chicago; and Jesse spent his childhood in Reading, Pa., then moved to northern Idaho for his middle/high school years. Lives now: The whole band resides primarily in Astoria. Although Jesse is finishing his Ph. D in Portland for one more year.
How did the band get started? Holiday Friends was the brainchild of Jesse and Scott during their sophomore year of college at University of Idaho. While playing in a surf rock band with Jon and Zack, the four collectively transformed into Holiday Friends and focused on original material. How would you describe the genre of the band to someone who has never heard you play? Holiday Friends’ music has been described as “dance folk,” “doo‐wopping synth pop” and “(insert folk band here) on cocaine.” Although, after worshiping Fleetwood Mac’s album “Rumours,” we are completely content with classifying ourselves as “Pop-Rock.”
Your first album, “Chicks,” came out last March. How are you preparing for your second album, which will be released this summer? Squats, lunges ... ya know. We also have been recording at Type Foundry Studio in Portland. What is the best gig you’ve ever performed at? Our favorite show to date is Halloween 2012 at the Big “O” Saloon in Olney, but playing at the Crystal Ballroom during 94.7 FM’s “December to Remember” concert series is a close runner-up. What are you listening to now? Jon said he is listening to Local Natives downstairs, but we (Zack and Scott) are listening to Radiation City at this exact moment.
Five Minutes With offers a Q&A with an artist, musician, thespian or writer involved in the local art scene. If you are interested in being featured, contact Coast Weekend Editor Rebecca Sedlak at rsedlak@dailyastorian.com

Crab Cooking 101
JOHNSON
STEP ONE Keep live crabs loosely covered in the refrigerator up to 12 hours. Grasp crabs carefully from the rear end, between the legs, and place in a pan to make sure they fit, with 3 to 4 inches of clearance below pan rim. Remove crabs and fill pan with enough water to cover crabs by 2 to 3 inches. Cover pan and bring water to a boil over high heat. STEP TWO One at a time, grasp crabs as described above and plunge then headfirst into the boiling water. If you have too much water, ladle out excess and discard. Cover pan and start timing. When water resumes boiling, reduce heat to a simmer. Cook 1-1/2 to 2-1/2-pound crabs 15 minutes, 3-pound crab about 20 minutes. STEP THREE Drain crabs; to be able to handle quickly, rinse briefly with cool water. PAID FOR BY COMMITTEE TO ELECT BETSY JOHNSON
