LONG BEACH

RAZOR CLAM FESTIVAL

Clam digging lessons, chowder tastings, fritter cook-off, barbecue, live music, contests, prizes and more await Saturday and Sunday, April 18 and 19

T

This is it: the big time. Clam fritter cook-offs don’t get any bigger than this, and neither do frying pans. It’s the Clam Fritter Cook-Off, one of many events this weekend at the Long Beach Razor Clam Festival. With the longest beach in the world, a beach that is smack dab in the middle of the country God made for razor clams, it was only natural that Long Beach, Washington, hold a clam IHVWLYDO :HOOLQJWRQ 0DUVK 6U Âż UVW had the idea back in 1940. The same Wellington March Sr. who went broke raising rutabagas in North Dakota and then founded Marsh’s Free Museum in Long Beach. The man who made Jake the Alligator Man famous decided he could do the same for a creature that tasted like a clam and looked like a straight razor. $W WKH Âż UVW FODP IHVWLYDO YLVLWRUV could sample the “World’s Largest Clam Fritterâ€? made in the “World’s Largest Frying Pan.â€? Women skated on slabs of butter to grease the pan. The fritter required 200 pounds of razor clams, 20 dozen eggs, 10 gallons of milk, 13 gallons of salad oil, and 20 SRXQGV HDFK RI Ă€ RXU FUDFNHU PHDO DQG FRUQ PHDO *DUGHQ KRHV DQG Ă€ DW VKRY els were used to maneuver the fritter. The original festival came to an end eight years later, due to a declining clam population and the fact that, after eating their share of the enormous fritter, nobody felt like dining at the local restaurants. The festival was revived in 2013, but without the girls in razor clam bathing suits, which had been a popular attraction at the original festival. Also gone is the World’s Largest Clam Fritter, replaced by the fritter contest for Ilwaco High School culinary arts students, held at 3:30 p.m. at Veterans Memorial Park. There is also a new World’s Largest Frying Pan (the original rusted out), and because there won’t

be a huge fritter, this one is divided into four sections, which allows four teams of students to fry their fritters at once. All the teams have the same coaches, culinary arts instructors Laurie Anderson and David Campiche of Seaview’s Shelburne Inn. Last year’s winner was not a team, though. Marilyn Thomson won it all with a fritter made with onion, potato and cranberry juice. “I experimented with tons of recipes for two weeks,� she says, “and then found some things in the fridge and changed to a totally different recipe on the last day.� This year Thomson is back, and every culinary student is clam gunning for her. She isn’t fazed by it, though. She’s looking to win again with a fritter that has bacon and “a secret ingredient.� Her fellow students have other ideas. Veronica Sommerville, for one, is hyped: “I’m totally going to win.� She and teammate Maria Aguilar weren’t in last year’s competition, so it’s a wily champion versus energetic upstarts with new ideas. Like a fritter made with carrots and celery. Sommerville is also unforthcoming about

That’s a.m. From there, go to the clam cleaning demonstration at the Port of Ilwaco. That lasts until 10:30 a.m., giving you time to make it to the Amateur Chowder Competition, which is followed by the (professional) Clam Chowder Taste-Off, both at the Long Beach Elks Lodge. If you choose to dig clams, there are competitions from 8 a.m. to noon Saturday for the biggest and smallest clams. Also the best-looking clam, which will take some perceptive judging. If you didn’t dig, there’s a “How Many Clams in the Tank?� contest. A $100 prize awaits each winner. Bathing clam beauties will be strolling the streets (will there be a return to the clam bathing suits of

yesteryear?). Queen La De Da’s Mermaid Lagoon offers “free mermaid photos and fun� at the Dennis Company, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday. There’s a beer garden and barbecue (not just clams), Saturday from 3 to 6 p.m., and Anita Margarita and the Rattlesnakes play during the fritter cook-off (they don’t have much to do with clams, but they’re hot musicians). A day of fun for all, and don’t forget to visit the replica of the original World’s Largest Frying Pan, which is next to the World’s Largest Spitting Clam in downtown Long Beach. You can make it spit for only 25 cents.

See musical tribute to Carter family music CHIP-in to clean Tapiola Park John Carter Cash, John McEuen bring concert to Longview LONGVIEW, Wash. —The Columbia Theatre will play host to a royal tribute when Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder John McEuen and John Carter Cash (son of Johnny Cash and June Carter) bring their multi-media “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,� a tribute to the music of the Carter family. The performance is at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, April 18. Ticket prices range from $25 to $35. Call 360-575-8499 for tickets from 11:30 a.m. 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, or order online at columbiatheatre. com. In August 1971, McEuen and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band traveled to Nashville from southern California to complete a circle tying their new generation of musicians to a previous generation of classic American vountry stars of the ’30s and ’40s. For seven days this gathering of the generations recorded the music of the landmark “Will the Circle Be Unbroken� album instigated by McEuen — a recording that has since been inducted into the U.S. Library of Congress as well as the Grammy Hall of Fame. This evening tells the story of those recording sessions and how Carter family music became a classic American music form through mother

Maybelle Carter. The historic sessions included recordings with Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Vassar Clements, Roy Acuff, Doc Watson, Bashful Brother Oswald, Merle Travis and Jimmy Martin — and Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. John Carter Cash will take the helm to relate the Carter family story and heritage with narrative and historic photographs from his personal archives. With music from the early Carter family days by the ensemble, Cash relates what it was like growing up with “Grandma Maybelle CarWHU ´ DQG KRZ $ 3 &DUWHU LQĂ€Xenced his and his father’s lifes’ path. The full cast will then performs songs from the “Circleâ€? album against the larger-than-life photo-montage backdrop from the sessions. Special to this evening, another original Nitty Gritty Dirt Band member, Les Thompson (1966-1976), will be part of this ensemble, along with Laura McGhee from Scotland, Matt Cartsonis and Dave Daeger. With bluegrass, country, gospel, and the roots of America’s acoustic music, the audience is invited to join the performers in singing the songs. It promises to be an exciting, unforgettable experience.

Jesse Lee Falls

He’s paid his dues — now he plays his music and shares his knowledge

Jesse Lee Falls has come full circle. His life story reads like a ballad full of highs and lows, bumps and grinds. It’s hardly a new story: an out-of-work guitar player, broke and broken — no money, no car, no home. Four years ago that was Falls.

Biodiversity begins with a B(ee) Jerry Freilich talks bees at Nature Matters ASTORIA — Most people can name a handful of different kinds of bees, but did you know there are 4,000 species of native bees in North America and probably several hundred in the North Coast area? Most bees are tiny, don’t bother people and are vital to the ecosystem as pollinators. Join Jerry Freilich as he discusses KRZ WKHVH LPSRUWDQW LQVHFWV ¿W LQ with the larger topic of biodiversity Thursday, April 16. The 7 p.m. Nature Matters presentation takes place at the Fort George Lovell Showroom. The event is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6 p.m.

It can be challenging to learn many species even if one is comfortable with long Latin names. Freilich will illustrate how the diversity of bees are related to other insects and will discuss bee lifestyles as a thoughtful way of encouraging further study. There are a number of reasons why we don’t know and speak about these many bee species. The simplest reason is because most are small (half the size of a honey bee), fast moving and inconspicuous. They polliQDWH WKH PDQ\ VSHFLHV RI ÀRZering plants so important to our ecosystems, but they don’t sting people and in general they don’t

interact with us. Beyond this, the anatomical differences among the species require careful examination under the microscope, which in turn requires knowledge of bee anatomy. Bee species differ, for example, in details of their wing veins, the claws and “spurs� on their legs, or in the placement of

tiny body hairs. Freilich, an entomologist working as research coordinator at Olympic National Park, has been with the National Park Service since 1978, working at six national parks all across the country. He got his start in science as a youngster; Freilich was a student and curatorial as-

sistant at the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia when he was 10 years old. He has a master’s degree in environmental education and a doctorate in entomology. His chief interests have always been the wonders of nature: marine seashells, aquatic insects, birding, desert tortoises and, now, bees.

Nature Matters is hosted by Lewis and Clark National Historical Park in partnership with the North Coast Watershed Association and the Fort George.

By MIKKO JAAKOLA I was standing there, facing a wall of death by the sea, wondering what the last thing they said was, wondering if they are “safe in calm waters.� Max Thomson was one of the names that really stood out to me. Max was my dad’s best friend all through high school and most of his life: 1973-2001. I was born in 1997, and Raija my sister was born in 2000, so that means he had met us before. Another name that almost made me tear up was Jason “Jay� Bjaranson. He was a very close family friend that died a few years ago, and I remember my mom called me on the phone crying, trying to get words out telling me he passed. Doc Haugland, another name on the wall, is my grandpa’s brother. I remember the night he died. My grandpa and I walked down by the river, and he was telling stories of them growing up. The water was very calm and we could see the fog from the lights of the ships, and then my grandpa said, “safe in calm waters.�

Safe in Calm Waters

The Light, It falters from vision, hides from sight My path is lost, my way back home is gone The Sea roars in a rage, spitting its wrath at me The net I cast returns to me, shredded and ripped on the rocks Far above the stars cower in fear behind the inky, black clouds “Home.â€? I left in such a rush “Home.â€? Did anyone know where I would be? “Home.â€? My family‌‌. My boat merely a speck in the mighty ocean The sea tosses my vessel side to side, much like a cat with a toy My heart pounds, sounding more akin to thunder I see not where I go, nor where I came from, lost in this tempest Then as I say my final prayers, I feel a hand and my body steadies. A voice whispers, “Fare forward voyager.â€?

Author to give talk on ‘The Next Tsunami’

CANNON BEACH — Oregon author Bonnie Henderson presents her latest book “The Next Tsunami: Living on a Restless Coast” at 7 p.m. Thursday, April 19 at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum. This presentation is free and open to the public. “The Next Tsunami” is the story of the geological discoveries that signal the imminence of a catastrophic tsunami on the Northwest coast. Henderson will talk about the tsunami that occurred in March 1964. She will share the stories from locals like, then-10-year-old Tom Horning who awoke near midnight to ¿nd his yard transformed. A tsunami triggered by Alaska’s momentous Good Friday earthquake had wreaked havoc in his Seaside neighborhood. It was, as far as anyone knew, the Paci¿c Northwest coast’s ¿rst-ever tsunami. More than 20 years passed before geologists discovered that it was neither Seaside’s ¿rst tsunami, nor was it its worst. In fact, massive tsunamis strike the Paci¿c Coast every few hundred years, triggered not by distant temblors, but by huge quakes less than 100 miles off the Northwest coast. Not until the late 1990s would scientists use evidence like tree rings and centuries-old warehouse records from Japan to ¿x the date, hour and magni-

tude of the Paci¿c Northwest coast’s last mega earthquake: 9 p.m., January 26, 1700, magnitude 9.0 — one of the

largest quakes the world had known. Henderson reveals in her book that when the next one strikes, whether it is this year or hundreds of years from now, the tsunami it generates will likely be the most devastating natural disaster in the history of the United States. In addition to geologist Tom Horning’s experience during the 1964 tsunami, Henderson will also share the stories of meteorologist Alfred Wegener, who formulated his theory of continental drift while gazing at ice Àoes calving from Greenland glaciers, and geologist Brian Atwater, who paddled his dented aluminum canoe up coastal streams looking for layers of peat sandwiched among sand and silt. Henderson’s story of how scientists came to understand the Cascadia Subduction Zone — a fault line capable of producing earthquakes even larger than the 2011 Tohoku quake in Japan — and how ordinary people cope with that knowledge is essential reading for anyone interested in the charged intersection of science, human nature and public policy.

guide, it was written with the guidance of tribal elders and seeks to engage the deeper philosophical foundations of foraging for a general audience. Deur’s book is available at the Lewis & Clark National Park Association bookstore in the visitor center. There will be a book signing

following his presentation. This monthly Sunday forum is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association and the park. This season of In Their Footsteps will conclude with the May 17 presentation “Lewis and Clark and Cataclysms on the Columbia” by Jim O’Connor, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey.

COLUMBIA BAR

Gummy Bear By RYAN HUME On Broadway in Seaside, past the dining room of Finn’s Fish House and behind a wall of video poker machines, there’s a copper-topped bar that opens into a lounge warmed by a large, circular fireplace. It should come as no surprise that the lounge at the back of Finn’s concentrates on specialty drinks that use Huckleberry-infused vodka. This particular off-menu confection is said to be a bestseller both here and at Finn’s neighboring sister bar, the Twisted Fish, a few doors down. One sip will answer any questions about how the Gummy Bear got its name. Some sort of chemical reaction occurs between the moment citrus meets sugar and berry, resulting in a trick to the taste buds that lifts a flavor straight from childhood. Beware that the risk of sugar crashes is still the same. Some things never change. Ingredients 2 wedges of fresh lime 1/2 ounce simple syrup* 1 1/2 ounces 360 Huckleberry Vodka**

A splash of sour mix Sprite, 7-Up, or any other lemon-lime soda Ice Directions Muddle the lime wedges in the simple syrup at the bottom of a highball or other deep cocktail glass. Add the vodka, sour mix and ice. Top off with lemon-lime soda. —Recipe courtesy of Jen Wayne, bartender at Finn’s Fish House and Twisted Fish Steakhouse, Seaside, Oregon *Simple syrup is equal parts sugar and water. To make it, bring sugar and water to a boil and simmer for three minutes or until the sugar is completely dissolved. Cool completely before using. **The bartender noted that it is possible to change the flavor and color of the gummy bear by adding a splash of cherry-flavored vodka on top of the Huckleberry.

produces approximately 7 to 9 percent of the oysters consumed in the U.S. 4. Willapa National Wildlife Refuge: An 11,000-acre shoreline refuge including the entirety of Long Island in the bay Origin: From the Willapa dialect of Kwalhioqua-Clatskanie, an Athabascan language extinct since the 1930s. Noted by Captain George Davidson to have possibly been derived from either ah-whil-a-pah or ah-whil-lapsh, though many other theories exist. Sadly, the original meaning of the word seems to have been lost along with the language. The bay was originally named Shoalwater Bay by Lt. John Meares on July 5, 1788, though the name was later discarded. He would

go on to name the mouth of the Columbia River Deception Bay the very next day. “A townsite of several hundred acres has been laid out at the mouth of the Willapa, and a burg called ‘Pacific City,’ which is the nucleus of a great port of entry, has been established. With a vast area of fine country tributary to it and possessing the advantages of a terminal city of a great railroad line, Pacific City is destined in the not very distant future to become one of the largest and best seaport cities on the Pacific coast.” —J. E. Willis, “An Important Enterprise,” West Shore, Nov. 16, 1889, p. 311

“The ridges on both branches of the Willapa are covered with the same dense forests of fine timber, although in this part of the country, fir predominates. All that part of the country lying between the upper part of Willapa and Lewis county, is almost a solid tract of timber, which will someday be made into lumber.” —“Pacific County Lands,” The Daily Astorian, Tuesday, June 19, 1883, p. 1
