Old favorites performed at free Regatta concert ASTORIA — More than 100 musicians from Oregon and Washington unite for an Astoria Regatta family concert in the Astoria High School Auditorium (1001 West Marine Drive).

Astoria’s Columbia River Symphony and Vancouver’s Beacock Music Concert Band present a “Summer Pops” concert 3 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 13, as part of the Regatta’s weekend celebrations. Families with youth and small children are welcome and encouraged to attend. The program features selections from popular Hollywood films, musicals and classical pieces such as the “1812 Overture,” “The Lion King,” “Superman,” “The Mask of Zorro,” “Gettysburg,” “Pirates of the Caribbean” and many more. The concert marks the

fourth time in five years these two ensembles have come together. Each ensemble will perform selections separately at each concert before joining together as one 100-plus-member ensemble to perform many movie favorites plus other musical numbers. Cory Pederson’s Beacock Music Concert Band is a 40-member ensemble that is part of the New Horizons music program in operation across the nation. The 65-member (and still-growing) Columbia River Symphony is composed of adults and youth from local schools. Led by Pederson, and assisted by Angela Pederson-Calvin, the symphony is a community-based, all-volunteer non-profit performing arts group. For information about joining the symphony or upcoming concerts, visit columbiariversymphony. org, or call 503-836-2198.

Floyd,” a release reads. “A concept album through and through, ‘The Wall’ follows the madness, isolation, violence and slide into fascism of the fictional character Pink in an intense first person narrative portrayal.”

Decemberists frontman Meloy headlines concert in Cannon Beach

CANNON BEACH — Colin Meloy, the frontman of The Decemberists, is headlining a September music event in Cannon Beach. The balladist from the Portland-based indie rock band will perform solo at the inaugural “Stackstock” — a music festival Saturday, Sept. 23, at Haystack Gardens — along with Pure Bathing Culture, Chorale PDX, Cardioid and a lineup of other Pacific Northwest musical acts. Doors open at noon; the event starts at 1 p.m. and goes until 9 p.m. “Stackstock” is the brainchild of Cannon Beach’s Ryan Snyder, president of Martin Hospitality. “The North Coast of Oregon is not really on the tour schedule for big name touring acts like Colin Meloy or Pure Bathing Culture,” Snyder said in a news release. The festival is “my way of sharing this

incredibly unique music with the community here and our visitors alike.” Originally from Helena, Montana, Meloy attended the University of Oregon before transferring to the University of Montana, where he studied creative writing. The singer-songwriter is also the author of the New York Times-bestselling “Wildwood Chronicles,” a series of children’s fantasy novels illustrated by his wife, Carson Ellis. General admission to “Stackstock” is $40 in advance, $50 the day of the show. There are VIP opportunities available. Children 10 and older are welcome to attend for the same ticket price as general admission. To purchase tickets, visit: www.stackstockfest. com. Call 503-436-1197 with any questions.

SEASIDE — Author Beckie Elgin will discuss her book “Journey: The Amazing story of OR-7, the Oregon Wolf That Made History” 1 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 12, at the Seaside Public Library. The event, presented by the Friends of the Seaside Library, will take place in the Community Room. “Journey” is the documented history of the tagged Oregon wolf who left northeast Oregon to find a mate, and became the first wild wolf to enter California in 87 years.

Elgin will share the story, based on known facts, behind the sojourn of this collared Oregon wolf, the library said in a release. She will describe the wolf’s life, from his birth until the time he left his natal pack for a 4,000-mile three-year trek. In addition, Elgin will share background information about the lifestyle of wolves, their history with humans, and methods used by scientists to study wolves. The author will present dilemmas, such as science

“intruding” into the lives of the animals, with collaring and GPS tracking vs. the need to gain information to protect the species. Elgin has an MFA from Pacific University and has published numerous articles about wolves that have appeared in The Oregonian, Earth Island Journal, Mail Tribune and other publications. The Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway St. For more information, call 503-738-6742 or visit seasidelibrary.org.

COAST WEEKEND

hen Joel Maag first started playing in the Seaside Beach Volleyball tournament, the conversations he would have with friends after a match revolved around what they planned to do that weekend. Now, 25 years later, Maag and those same friends still play together in the tournament. But the talk has shifted from weekend plans to bonding over their kids, families and full-time jobs. “Today, almost all of us have kids. And maybe we aren’t as athletic as we all once were. But it is still great we are playing today,” Maag said. “Between reminiscing about the old days, to experiencing this with our kids today, it has been fun to watch that transition.” As he has for the last 25 years, the Portland resident will return to play in the Seaside Beach Volleyball tournament Thursday through Sunday, Aug. 10 through 13. He will be on one of the 1,400 teams estimated to register this year. This equates to almost 3,000 volleyball enthusiasts crowding the soft sands of Seaside. Skill levels vary from casual play to the open division, where world-renowned players compete in the center court for a first-place $4,000 cash prize and prestige. In its 36th year, the tournament includes players of all ages and has been recognized as the world’s largest amateur volleyball tournament. Many aspects of the tournament will remain the same, but,

this year, the youth division will be guaranteed to play at least two days in a row, according to Seaside Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Brian Owen. “These divisions used to be single eliminations, but we wanted to make sure that we were creating a positive traveling experience for these families who are coming from all over the country to participate,” Owen said.

‘So much magic’

While the minutiae of game logistics varies from year to year, what has remained constant over three decades is the feeling of excitement that builds throughout the weekend, culminating Saturday when open players battle for first place. “I thrive on that environment myself as an extrovert,” Maag said. “There’s so much magic involved with meeting new people and playing alongside such talented players.” Maag didn’t start playing volleyball until college. At University of Portland, he joined a club team and immediately fell in love with the sport, he said. In that circuit he heard about Seaside’s tournament, and, after attending one, decided he “didn’t want to be missing any of these.” Maag started playing in the eight-player division, eventually worked up to the open division, and now competes in what he calls the “dinosaur division” — more cordially known as “golden masters” for people over 45. But as his volleyball career has progressed, competition is balanced with making memories with his kids and friends. “For me, it’s a vacation. I’m still competitive and want to do well, but a lot of the people we’re playing with and against have been playing for 20 years. We get to carry on that relationship,” he said. While Maag has found many reasons to return each year, Owen said what makes this event special for some is just the opportunity to get to play beach volleyball in the first place. “I enjoy watching the kids get an opportunity to play. Not all players get to have regular beach access, so that is an opportunity, too,” Owen said. CW

14 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review

At FishMongers in Hammond, the barrelchested fish sandwich is where it’s at Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

I

t’s rather fitting that just hours before I discovered FishMongers I stood wide-eyed in disbelief at the absurd line assembled in front of Bowpicker in Astoria. As Ed, a co-owner of the nearly three-month-old FishMongers would tell me, that lurching line for fish and chips at Bowpicker was the inspiration for FishMongers. Ed said he’d grown sick of working at the mill, adding: “I saw the lines at Bowpicker and said, ‘I want in on that.’” So Ed and co-owner Ross got a storefront in Hammond and built a take-out counter that, with its dark stained wood, resembles an English pub (though, sadly, there is no beer). While not quite as limited as Bowpicker’s tuna-fish-andchips-only menu, FishMongers’, too, is quite concise. They sell fish and chips, fish sandwiches, fish tacos and a shrimp cocktail. All, save for the shrimp cocktail, are beer-battered and deep fried, boxed and served to-go. And that’s it. Do one thing — or rather, a few things — and get it right. With the fish and chips and the sandwich, choose tuna or cod. The tuna is denser, with more body, grain and flavor. The cod is lighter, flakier, more neutral. All come in heaping, blue-collar portions at reasonable prices. No one is going to feel shortchanged. For my money, the Fish Sandwich ($11) is where it’s at. The barrel-chested sandwich is damn-near worth the price of admission alone, the accompanying fries and a cup of dijon-smacked coleslaw the cherry on top. The crispy, beer-battered hunk of fish

Tuna fish and chips

Cod fish sandwich

is covered with a layer of melted cheese, slathered with a thick coat of drippy, creamy, smooth, dill-heavy tartar sauce, and topped with few briny pickles whose inclusion is critical — the acid makes it. The sandwich lands with a satisfying thud — the fish steaks are, at minimum, an inch thick, often thicker. It’s somehow both hulking and indulgent without knocking you out. I also appreciated the careful construction, as if they were intended to be eaten by the maker himself. The Fish and Chips ($11 for cod, $13 for tuna) were familiar.

But, really, as long as you nail the crust (they do), and the fish (from Ocean Beauty) is acceptable (it is), what else are we really talking about? The answer is portion, and FishMongers piles it on: four big pieces of fish and more fries than you could possibly need. It wouldn’t hurt, though, if there were more exciting, signature dipping sauces. FishMongers’ coleslaw, though, has character — dijon-forward, a bit of spice, milky and not too sweet. The Shrimp Cocktail ($8), however, is ripe for rethinking. Besides the fact that it’s filled

with bay shrimp rather than big meaty prawns, the delivery vehicle — a domed plastic cup made for milkshakes — is flawed. As a customer sitting next to me fumbled with it, trying to get the tiny shrimp out of the tiny opening she dropped some on the ground, huffing in exasperation, “I can’t figure out how to eat this thing!” Even if she could, the colorful layers of red cocktail sauce, pink bay shrimp and green celery were hardly enticing. But the trio of Fish Tacos ($9) were spot on, with slaw and golden tubes of beer-battered rock-

fish cradled by lightly browned flour tortillas. While bread-y and no more distinct than the cod, I appreciated the appearance of rockfish — an abundant local catch — on the menu. And that’s pretty much the long and short of it — the whole FishMongers menu in a nutshell. Which is exactly what first-time restaurateurs should be doing: focusing on a few things and getting them right. And with Fishmongers’ proximity to Fort Stevens State Park, they may indeed cash in on their dreams of harnessing that fish-andchips-seeking tourist market. But, year-round, FishMongers’ value may be just as important to locals. As one customer, already a regular, told Ed, grinning ear-to-ear with to-go box in hand, “I hope y’all are here for years to come.” CW

Disney’s “Moana”

5:00 pm Downtown Astoria Every month, year ‘round!

Aug. 12 th Visit Downtown Astoria on the 2nd Saturday of every month for art, music, and general merriment! Presented by the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association

‘Moana’ marks return of Summer Movie in the Park ASTORIA — Pacific Power is sponsoring the return of the Astoria Parks and Recreation’s free Summer Movie in the Park at dusk (roughly between 8:30 and 9 p.m.) Wednesday, Aug.16, at Fred Lindstrom Memorial Park with a showing of Disney’s “Moana.” The PG-rated “Moana” — which was nominated for two Oscars — tells the story of an adventurous teenager who sails out on a daring mission to save her people.

“During her journey, Moana meets the once-mighty demigod Maui, who guides her in her quest to become a master wayfinder,” according to a plot summary. “Together they sail across the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous monsters and impossible odds.” The film will be projected onto a giant inflatable screen after sundown. Moviegoers should bring a blanket or low-back chairs. Pop-up tents,

canopies, or beach umbrellas that can obstruct the view of others are not permitted. Concessions will be available for purchase. Street parking is available but limited. The park is located at Niagara Avenue and 6th Street, next to Peter Pan Market. The Summer Movies event was removed as part of budget reduction decisions made by the Astoria City Council at the beginning of the year to stabilize the parks department’s funding.

“Pacific Power has been supporting the Astoria community since the silent movie days. When we heard there was an opportunity for us to bring back a community event, we were excited to partner with the Parks Department to bring this free movie day back to the community and unlike silent movie days, this one is in color with full sound,” said Alisa Dunlap, regional business manager for Pacific Power, in a release.

our pasts. How do we interrogate ourselves to get at the truth of our stories when the details do not always shine a glamorous light upon us?” press materials ask. The class will “give you tools to get vulnerable in your writing, scrutinize the past from a place of compassion, and help you to discover the story beneath your stories.” Bombardier is a Portland-based writer and visual artist.

COLUMBIA BAR

Neon Light

Story and photo BY RYAN HUME

FOR COAST WEEKEND

Ducking into the Merry Time Bar and Grill on a recent sweltering afternoon, I was looking for something to quench my thirst and lower my internal body temperature. The Neon Light, glowingly blue against the dim light of the bar, has a complex, citrus-forward appeal and would not seem out of place on one of those blond, Caribbean beaches. The shock of blue liquid holding all of those different citrus notes from the Mandarin Orange vodka, the Blue Curaçao and Grand Marnier reminded me vaguely of the artificial flavor blue raspberry, which appears in Slurpees and gummy candies and other sundries concocted far outside the natural world. As the summer finally heats up in August, the Neon Light would be a fine accompaniment to both carnitas or jerk chicken or whatever else you have sizzling on the grill. With its citrus notes recalling a margarita, the Neon Light could also take a salted or sugared rim from those willing to experiment.

1 ounce of Absolut Mandarin Orange Vodka 1/2 ounce of Blue Curaçao liqueur 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier liqueur One quarter of a fresh orange Ice

Add the ice, vodka, Blue Curaçao liqueur and Grand Marnier to the bottom of a cocktail shaker. Juice the orange atop the spirits in the shaker. Strain the drink over rocks into an old-fashioned glass. —Recipe courtesy of Suzi Kanehl, bartender at Merry Time Bar and Grill, Astoria, Oregon CW

Young adult romance explores cross-cultural complications Early in her career, Debby Dodds caromed coast to coast doing stage shows, film and comedy improv. Now settled in Portland, this multi-talented writer and performer has been devoting her energy to writing her first Young Adult novel. For subject matter, Dodds hearkened back to her own adolescence in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, home to a large Amish community. The story she comes up with, “Amish Guys Don’t Call,” draws on some of the cross-cultural juxtapositions she observed when she was growing up. The Amish refer to everyone outside of their community as “English,” no matter what their real ethnicity. So it just goes to figure that this book’s “English” teen protagonist, recently arrived in Lancaster after her parents’ divorce, falls for an Amish guy. At first, Samantha Stonesong doesn’t even realize it. A closeted nerd, Sam has been feeling pressure from her new circle of friends to prove that she can find a

cute boyfriend. She’s never had a boyfriend before, but she can’t admit this to her group of super-cool friends without being ostracized. So it seems to be a stroke of good luck when Zach, a “mature” guy already out of school, singles her out as the girl he is interested in. She does notice that Zach has a few quaint quirks, but as they get to know one another and really like and trust each other, Zach confesses to her that he has been keeping his Amish roots a secret. He has been engaging in Rumspringa, the traditional rite of passage that allows Amish teens a period of greater freedom before they commit to the Amish way of life as adults. But now Zach is reluctant to return to his family’s

farm. Instead, he wants to go to college. As a result of these decisions, he is being formally shunned by his family and community. Sam has some secrets of her own. Since her parents’ divorce, her mother has become fairly promiscuous, while her father has been completely out of touch. It is also stressful to be in the most popular clique in school; Sam is always worried that her new friends will reject her if they discover she’s a brainiac and a virgin, so she tries to be someone she is not in order to fit in. As her anxiety escalates, she returns to a bad habit she developed in her old hometown: shoplifting to relieve stress. Dodds writes with honesty and humor about this point in Sam’s life. She does a nice job of developing the unlikely romance between Zach and Sam, and she successfully creates dimensionality in all of her characters. And she incorporates some of the realities of today’s youth

— cyberbullying, substance use, single-parent families and minimal parental oversight — without being heavy-handed. Dodds has more trouble handling the resolution of these story lines — hence a rather ungainly pile-up of an ending — but, overall, “Amish Guys Don’t Call” is a lively and appealing read. The Bookmonger is Barbara Lloyd McMichael, who writes this weekly column focusing on the books, authors and publishers of the Pacific Northwest. Contact her at bkmonger@ nwlink.com.
