Bellingham, Washington-based five-piece band Polecat is, from left, Aaron Guest, Richard Reeves, Cayley Schmid, Karl Olson and Jeremy Elliott.

Polecat brings blend of rock, bluegrass, Celtic to the Fort ASTORIA — Fort George %UHZHU\ ZHOFRPHV ¿YH SLHFH band Polecat to perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, April 24. The show is open to all ages, and there is no cover charge. Based in Bellingham, Washington, Polecat combines bluegrass, Celtic, rock and reggae sounds. The band’s instrumentation enables members to seamlessly blend genres. The general appeal of Polecat comes from the band’s take on roots music and its interactive and high-energy shows. The band is led by Aaron Guest on vocals, 12-string guitar and occasional keyboard. Jeremy Elliott’s fast but smart guitar playing adds a spark to the band. Growing up in Georgia surrounded by some of the best roots players in the country, Elliott easily melds rock rhythms, bluesy bends and bluegrass lines. His vocal harmonies add another layer to the Polecat sound. Immersed in Celtic music, dance and culture for the better part of her life, CayOH\ 6FKPLG¶V ¿GGOH SOD\LQJ brings a stompin’ sound to Polecat’s Americana feel. Richard Reeves on double bass keeps the groove thumping along with his love for African music and polyrhythmic sounds. An avid student of percus-

sion for many years, Karl Olson is a well-rounded rhythm man, with studies and projects based on orchestral, jazz, funk, reggae and tabla drumming. The members of Polecat DUULYHG DW WKHLU ¿UVW UHKHDUVDO from different musical backgrounds. “Some of us shook KDQGV IRU WKH ¿UVW WLPH WKDW day,” says Guest of the initial meeting in early 2010. Incorporating multiple genres into a cohesive sound might have been impossible if each member hadn’t learned the rules before breaking them. The group is well-seasoned, performing nearly 100 shows per year since its inception. ,Q WKH ¿YH \HDUV WKDW IROlowed, Polecat released two full-length albums and has seen consistent growth in the Northwest as each member’s musical diversity allowed them to chameleon through a variety of gigs and audiences. The band released its latest album “Into The Wind” on March 11, an adventurous outing for the band, incorporation vocals from Elliott and Schmid, horn solos, keyboards and even a few big rock ‘n’ roll twists and turns. Polecat hit the road for two weeks as direct support with Yonder Mountain String Band in March before embarking on a headlining tour in April.

Stroll through the songwriters’ garden Astoria Public Library features acoustic performances Friday ASTORIA — The next Library After Hours event is A Stroll Through the Songwriters’ Garden, a concert featuring acoustic performances by Jimmy James and Christopher Reyne. Admission is free, and the event will take place at 6 p.m. Friday, April 22 at the Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th St. James is an Astoria-based singer-songwriter. Over the years, James has done solo, showcase and cover gigs throughout the U.S. His pop-rock-Americana tunes are melodic and yet driving. As noted by the SGV Tribune, James’ performances feature “solid guitar work with a very wide vocal palette in both range and texture.” Reyne is an Astoria-based musical artist with a clear vision of how he wants his compositions to make listeners feel. His recordings are layered soundscapes with lyrics set to them that, as Mod City put it, feel “like honest journal entries put to music.” When he takes his songs to the stage, however, he strips them down and allows them to speak for themselves. His debut album “A Stranger at the Wheel,” mastered by Doug Van Sloun (Bright Eyes, She & Him,

Now, with spring’s incontrovertible and welcome arrival, people from across the 3aci¿c Northwest and beyond are coming to celebrate with the locals at the 34th annual Astoria Warrenton Crab, Seafood & Wine Festival, taking place at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, April 22, 23 and 24. Is there a better way to celebrate the return of longer days with friends? It’s hard to name one. Portland glass artist Joe Bennett, one of 80 distinctive craft and art vendors at the festival, is returning for the sixth consecutive year. “It’s a masterfully run festival,” he says. “It’s a joy to be here.” The festival consistently wins Coast Weekend’s Readers’ Choice Award for Best Local Festival. Ask any of its nearly 200 vendors or its 15,000 attendees what they like best about it. Answers are always optimistic and enthusiastic. “The people,” they say. Each of the nearly 200 total vendors is juried into the festival by a discerning committee led by Kelsey Bilansifer, event coordinator for the Astoria-Warrenton Area Chamber of Commerce, that considers each potential vendor’s artisan Paci¿c Northwest cred and appeal. “The jury works hard to include unique vendors who don’t sell similar products,” says chamber Marketing Director Regina Willkie. One of those unique Northwest vendors is Hood Crest Winery. Winemakers (and blues recording artists) Patrik and Tess Barr are returning to the Crab Festival from Hood River

for their second consecutive year. “It’s not that easy to get accepted into the festival,” says Patrik. “We were fortunate last year to participate. We’re trying to grow our brand.

Last year we sold a lot of wine, and we had a lot of fun.” He’s also looking forward to enjoying grilled clown bread, that festival favorite by the Astoria Clowns: a toasted crab

sandwich he describes as “gooey, cheesey, mayonnaisey and incredible.” Besides the Astoria Clowns, 15 or so distinctive local caterers and bene¿t organi]ations will offer Northwest fare, typical and unusual, none alike. Get your crab, whole or half, from the Astoria Rotary Club there. <ou’ll ¿nd scores of excellent Northwest brewers and winemakers to sample at the festival but only one distiller: Astoria’s own Pilot House Distilling. “The Crab Festival is our favorite festival. The organi]ers have been very good to us,” says co-owner Christina Cary. In addition to handcrafted distilled spirits, Pilot House offers its own drinking vinegars, known as shrubs, with Àavors like tomatillo jalapexo and strawberry balsamic to mix with distilled spirits or with selt]er. “It changes the whole dynamic of a cocktail,” Cary assures. As if the pleasure of good company, food and drink weren’t enough, the Crab Festival also features a remarkable variety of hard-working Northwest bands at its two stages all weekend long performing music that fans, no matter their tastes, will ¿nd both agreeably familiar and refreshingly eccentric. Kathy Boyd is bringing her band Phoenix Rising to the festival for their ¿rst time. Though bluegrass was born in Kentucky, Phoenix Rising gives it a distinctive Northwest Àavor with original songs like “Scappoose Ridge” and “Twelve More Miles to Clatskanie.” Boyd and the band enjoy playing outside the bluegrass circuit where audiences who may not be familiar with the music ¿nd themselves tapping their feet to the bass beat, smiling at the ¿ddle, guitar and dobro licks and the tight vocal harmonies. “It’s fun

music, up-beat and up-lifting even though,” she happily concedes, “it’s sometimes about murder and mayhem.” Stop by the Exhibit Hall stage to hear them Saturday afternoon. Three for Silver is returning to Astoria, where the band has become a favorite, to play its high-energy, gypsy-Àavored retro-folk roots music at the Crab Festival for the ¿rst time. “We play full time all over the West Coast, and we always look forward to coming to Astoria,” says bassist Lucas Warford. The group’s unusual music has made enthusiastic fans up and down the West Coast. “There’s a vibe to our music that people in seaside communities respond to. And we pretty much have the market cornered for whatever it is that you call what we do.” Catch them Friday afternoon at the Food Tent stage. “The American songbook is not dead,” declares Moses Barrett, lead vocalist and guitar player with The Junebugs, a tight trio that takes particular pride in creatively interpreting a wide variety of favorite American songs. With 80 or 90 tunes in its bank and skills developed from 185 performances last year, the band excels at playing music the audience wants to hear. “We start with a couple of tunes from different eras and look around to see whose head’s bobbing,” says Barrett. “We write our own songs, too, and we’re really proud of them, but we also believe that interpreting the American songbook has artistic validity.” Find them reviving and continuing the long American house-band tradition Saturday afternoon at the Food Tent stage. There’s nothing not to like in the Crab Festival’s musical line-up. Steve Hale calls his music “blue-eyed-soul-Americana.” The indie rock band Mbrascatu sings in Italian. Tyler Stenson performs original elegant, rustic, poetic folk. Castletown plays energetic Celtic folk rock. The duet Sugar Still, blues and gypsy ja]]. The Carried Away Trio, classic ja]] standards and blues. Carrie Cunningham blends Nashville and the Northwest. The Ellen Whyte Trio rocks R&B. Rocket 3 shreds female indie-pop.

West Lake

Chinese G

The Appetizer Plate included fried shrimp, barbecue pork, an egg roll and fried wontons.

Food is an afterthought at this Seaside restaurant Growing up in the 1980s, my mom would take my sister and I to Chinese every so often. These long buried memories were dusted-off as I ate at West Lake Chinese Restaurant & Lounge, not because the Seaside restaurant awoke some warm nostalgia — rather it was more like a time warp, where nothing had changed in 30 years. West Lake’s booths are covered in red vinyl, the carpets dark and matted, the tables worn with a seemingly permanent stickiness. The walls and ceilings are dotted with a modicum of dusty, lifeless Chinese art. The only thing missing was the Âż VK WDQN , KDG KRSHG WKDW EHKLQG :HVW /DNHÂśV aging exterior was a hole-in-the-wall offering a few hidden gems. What I found, unfortunately, matched the dilapidated wrapper. I struggled on what to order. A server told me she didn’t like the fried foods as much, and I should’ve heeded her call. I didn’t open the drink menu, as it ZDV YLVLEO\ Âż OWK\ FRYHUHG LQ VWLFN\ VPXGJHV I began with the Appetizer Plate ($8.95), a sampler that included fried shrimp, barbecue pork, an egg roll and fried wontons.

Do not order the fried wontons. The fried shrimp weren’t much better, with thick breading overwhelming the small, dry, tasteless meat inside. The egg roll was large and too peppery. The pink-ringed, sweet-and-sour slices of barbecue pork were the only food on the plate worth eating, though their distinction was mostly a slight of hand, elevated by the meager company they kept. The pork slices were lukewarm, barely re-heated. I wondered, rather than being cooked from scratch in the West Lake kitchen, if they’d FRPH SUH PDGH IURP D SXUYH\RU 7KH\ ZHUH MXVW so darn uniform — and dull.

After being fried, the bread balls were sprinkled with a dust of crushed almonds. The Pork Fried Rice offered scant seasoning and was stingy with the vegetables, much less any chunks of pork. The Beef with Vegetables came with water chestnuts, carrot, celery, mushrooms, broccoli, onions and snap peas in a thin, salty sauce. None were fresh. The beef, which there wasn’t a whole lot of, was thin and spongy, almost soupy.

On another trip I tried the Curry Beef ($9.95) and was relieved to have a plate free of deep-frying and barbecue pork. The sauce was thin, cumin heavy, and lacking the coconut milk of its Indian counterpart. The beef was again spongy, accompanied by a few green bell peppers, carrots and too many onions. The Szechwan Chicken ($9.50) was similar, in that the sauce was minimalist, lacking any complexity or pep, and stacked high with onions. The non-fried entrÊe dishes at West Lake were melding together in my mind. Indeed, they were

There were a few peas and two different sizes of carrots — shreds and cubes — suggesting multiple bags of frozen vegetables. As much as any dish I had at West Lake, the Chow Don was utterly discombobulated. It had no reason for being. Really, none of this food did — it wasn’t cheap, healthy, delicious or even culturally representational. Over the last 20 years, West Lake has passed through a few different owners, though very little has changed. That the restaurant remains in business at all, I imagine, is because of the bar and the slots. The kitchen is little more than an afterthought. The food there was not only frozen in time, but freezer-burnt. Even the fortune cookie was stale.

Experience the Legends of the Celtic Harp Celtic trio to open ‘The Door Between the Worlds’ April 24 ASTORIA — Legends of the Celtic Harp will perform its new show “The Door Between the Worlds” at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 24 at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, located at 588 16th St. General admission is 15 the concert is a Eene¿t for the PAC. “The Door Between the Worlds” is a dramatic journey in music and story into the realms of the Celtic “Otherworld.” The Celtic people have always believed there are two worlds: the world we live in and “The Otherworld.” This land of faery is ¿lled with wonder and delight but also darkness and peril. Acclaimed ensemble Legends of the Celtic Harp opens the door to this mystical world with music played on Celtic harps, Irish bouzouki, cittern and Swedish nyckelharpa, telling the tales of that legendary

land — from which no one returns unchanged. This trio of Celtic harpers features Patrick Ball, Lisa Lynne and Aryeh Frankfurter, who have toured extensively throughout the U.S. to sold-out audiences and rave reviews. One recent review states, “Legends of the Celtic Harp is a blend of music and oratory, falling somewhere between concert and theater. It spanned nearly the range of human feeling, from humor to tragedy, tenderness to rage, reality to mysticism, and more besides. The effects were powerful and exhilarating.” Ball is an American master of the Irish harp and a captivating spoken word artist. He has recorded nine instrumental and three spoken word albums, which have sold over a half million copies internationally, winning national awards in both the music and

spoken word categories. Ball’s critically acclaimed concerts and solo theatrical productions have toured the United States, Canada, Ireland and the UK, and have been awarded grants by the California Arts Council and the Circle of Excellence Award from the National Storytelling Association. Lynne is a multi-instrumentalist and performer who has gained worldwide recognition for her original music featuring her Celtic harp. She is widely acclaimed for composing memorable and heartwarming melodies on the Windham Hill/Sony music labels that have repeatedly placed in the Top 10 and Top 20 on the Billboard new age music charts. Lynne tours year round performing at large U.S. festivals and performing art centers. Her work in therapeutic music has gained recognition from NBC and CNN

and numerous newspapers and magazines including the Wall Street Journal. Lynne’s music is heard throughout the award-winning PBS special “Alone in the Wilderness,” and other soundtracks for commercial television and independent ¿lms.

Frankfurter is also a renowned Celtic harper and world-traveling multi-instrumentalist who went from virtuosic progressive rock violin to intricate Swedish folk and Celtic music. He began with classical violin at the age of 3. His early studies and suc-

cesses led him to explore various ethnic and international musical genres. Frankfurter taught himself to play a variety of instruments bowed and plucked, including the rarely seen Swedish nyckelharpa. His uncommon approach to the Celtic harp and folk harp repertoire and his numerous critically and commercially successful albums have earned him credit as a musician, recording and performance artist of extraordinary talents and abilities.

Oregon Coast Crawler train to take a scenic journey in October All-day excursion offers breathtaking views, adventure GARIBALDI — RailsNW and the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad will offer a special rail excursion this October using a historic steam engine on tracks that see very limited services, passenger or otherwise. The Oregon Coast Crawler will take passengers on a memorable all-day journey of exploration and beautiful Ore-

gon scenery, all by vintage train powered by a steam locomotive. The trip takes place Oct. 1. Starting at 10:30 a.m. in the village of Garibaldi, this signature RailsNW excursion will make a leisurely trip on the Port of Tillamook Bay line along the North Oregon Coast, affording fantastic panoramic views of both Tillamook and Nehalem Bays. Passengers will have an hour of free time to explore the interesting harbor town of Wheeler and stretch their legs before the train turns inland to journey

through the Coast Range and canyons. As the train continues to its destination of Batterson, passengers will travel through the scenic and not easily accessible Nehalem River canyon at the peak of Oregon’s fall foliage. The train will stop in Batterson at 2:30 p.m. for a 45-minute break. On the return trip to Garibaldi, the train will stop for more free time (another 45-minute break) in Rockaway Beach to allow passengers to stretch their legs and possibly pick up some

taffy or ice cream, both locally made in Tillamook County. The train should pull back into the Garibaldi home station at 6:15 p.m. The train is scheduled to be pulled by the McCloud River Railroad No. 25, a locomotive that was featured in the movie “Stand By Me.” The train will also use an open-air car for unparalleled views and enhanced enjoyment in addition to the two indoor coaches. All passengers will have a guaranteed indoor seat,

and the outdoor space will be shared throughout the day. A minimum of three photo runbys have been scheduled, and more will be added as time permits. The trip includes a box lunch, water and snacks to be served onboard. Cost is $125 per person. Advance tickets are required,; no walk-ups will be allowed. The trip is limited to less than 120 passengers, and passengers must be 8 years old or older. For more information or to book your train ticket, call Rail-

ASTORIA — KALA presents award-winning photographer David Tesinsky in a photo-screening event at 8 p.m. Wednesday, April 27. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., KALA is located at 1017 Marine Drive, and there is a $10 cover at the door. Tesinsky is an award-winning photographer from Prague who is currently visiting the U.S. and working on a piece about the underground rap scene, traveling around Baltimore, Chicago, throughout Ohio, and will be visiting the West Coast with a one-time presentation in Astoria. At 26, Tesinsky has taken photos around the world, traveling to more countries

than most might ever aim to in a lifetime. That travel has brought him to Ethiopia, Jamaica, Japan, Thailand, India, eastern Europe and more in search of “people stories.” Through the medium of photographic series, Tesinsky aims to express the deep views of his chosen subjects: “Children of Islam” presents revolutionary youths of Iran; “Jah People” documents the living legends of Reggae music and the culture of Rastafarians in Jamaica; “Dictator or Gay” captures gay and lesbian activists in Belarus, punks in Berlin, exorcism in Ethiopa and prostitution in Thailand, revealing the dynamics of subcultures through vivid, up-close and personal photography. Eventually, Tesinsky ended up enrolling in a photography school. Though his schooling helped solidify his passion, Tesinsky was impa-

The Old Fish Trap in Chinook, Washington, is a great place to relax.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

The Old Fish Trap I rolled into Chinook after a drive along the north-

ern side of the river. The tide was extremely low and exposed the

mud flats in the afternoon sun. They were incredibly beautiful, and I could barely take my eyes off them. I wish I could explain the appeal of mudflats to me. Perhaps it’s the metaphor of revealing the bottom of something as opposed to the surface. The Old Fish Trap beckoned, and I stopped in for a beer to begin my weekend and relax after an intense work week. When I try to relax, I don’t want to try anything new or involved. I just want quiet, stasis and simplicity. I walked in, did a quick visual inspection, noticed a piano and guitar, and ordered a lager from North Jetty Brewery. I sat down in a comfortable booth and felt contentment wash ashore in the exquisite silence of this joint. At the bar, some regulars discussed how a local “fingerless” man worked as a handyman. It sounded like great material for a short story. But I wouldn’t write it — I was supposed to be relaxing. Yes, this was my kind of somnolent place. Wood, maroon and black dominated the Old Fish Trap’s décor, but there was much more to admire than colors and grainy textures. I loved the historic photographs of logging and fishing, fish-themed fine art, vintage coffee can collection, crab pot and propeller blade. I especially loved the fake kitten asleep near the front window.

Not a single customer was on a phone. People were talking. I visit these places because they don’t hustle or exude a shred of irony. They are exactly as they appear. I will never understand why people visit the coast and then patronize the same kind of establishments that they frequent at home, like the power couple from Seattle who go to the Seattle bar in Astoria. What’s the point? Can’t you drink your fancy liquorless drinks at home? A quasi old timer walked in. The female bartender said, “Art, do you want a PBR?” Art said, “Yes.” He said it slowly. The bartender brought over the beer and told Art about the upcoming April weekend in Chinook. “It’s going to be super rowdy, and everybody is going to be turning up.” “I hope not,” said Art. I’m with Art. The Old Fish Trap is the best place around to turn it down, not up. Up is overrated.

Natatorium >Q t ԥ t‫ܧ‬r i ԥm@ noun plural, natatoria 1. arch. an indoor pool for swimming, esp. a free-standing building that houses an indoor swimming pool. The pool buildings that littered the Oregon Coast in the early 20th Century, from Nye Beach to Seaside, relied on pumping in heated seawater from the nearby Pacific Ocean, and offered concessions and entertainment, such as nickelodeons and live music Origin: First recorded in 1890 and arising in New England from the Late Latin verb, natāre (meaning “to swim”) + -atorium (a loaned suffix from Latin denoting a place). Natatorium literally means, “a place to swim.” The term was at its height of popularity in the U.S. around the 1920s, just as many of the buildings along the Oregon Coast were being constructed. The term fell steeply out

“Cannon Beach’s natatorium was built in 1924 by William Mahon and was often referred to as ‘The Nat.’” — Elaine Trucke, “Historic photos: Natatorium was more than a place to swim,” The Daily Astorian, Friday, March 27, 2015, P. 2C

“The building that now houses the aquarium opened as Seaside Baths, a natatorium, in August 1924, and it offered warm saltwater swimming.” —Katherine Lacaze, “‘History and Hops’ educates with frosty pints of craft beer,” The Daily Astorian, Thursday, Nov. 12, 2015, P. 3A

“SEASIDE, Or., Oct. 18.—(Special.)—Work will be commenced about January 1 on a $30,000 natatorium in this city by J. E. Oates, who owns the site opposite the Moore Hotel.” —“Natatorium is Planned,” The Morning Oregonian, Sunday, Oct. 19, 1913, P. 11
