Vote for your favorite Miss Virginia or Miss Vivian in ‘Shanghaied in Astoria’ contest ASTORIA —This is the 12th year the Astor Street Opry Company will be holding its Miss Virginia and Miss Vivian contest, a fun and a little-bit-wicked friendly competition between local taverns and coffee houses. And this is how it works: Each establishment chooses an in-house staff member to represent one of the two of characters from ASOC’s original musical melodrama “Shanghaied In Astoria,� running at the ASOC Playhouse now to Sept. 12. Bars, brew pubs and taverns have the tough saloon-owning, co-shanghaiing conspirator Miss Vivian, while coffee houses have Miss Virginia Sweet, the heroine of “Shanghaied in Astoira,� who’s looking for a hero to marry and live happily ever after. The basic goal is simple. Candidates receive custom-made buttons with their personal photo and sell them — for as much as they can get; minimum suggestion is $2 — as a fundraiser for the ASOC Capital Campaign to install indoor plumbing in the theater. The competitors for the title of Miss Vivian 2015 are: Chase Chapman of Baked Alaska; Sara Kate of Buoy Beer Co.; Kourtney Davis of

James riffed with the most interesting and unconventional grammar, and I thought it the most beautiful stream-ofconscious speechifying I’d heard in years. Who cares if it was almost impossible to quote him properly? Beavers don’t care about conventional grammar or proper quoting! They just want to be left alone, eat wood, build dams, create marshes and salmon rearing habitat, and play their antediluvian role in the ecology of healthy watersheds. James understood this perfectly and wanted to educate others about the benefits of this maligned animal that was once nearly hunted to extinction because of a fashion trend. This crusade began a year ago after

angels told him to take care of animals. “I’ve known for years about beavers,” said James, “and it was time to start doing something for them. I had to.” James scouts the local creeks, wetlands and rivers for signs of beaver activity and also imagines their return to places where they are needed to restore damaged watersheds. He’s documenting beavers and beaver dams in some way that doesn’t involve conventional scientific documentation. He’s seeking, finding, observing, and rhapsodizing. James is a “naturalist” of the very old school. At one point in our conversation, James broke out a little book with a cork-like cover. “It’s my Beaver Book,” he said, handing it to me. He told me he’s collecting names, telephone numbers and email addresses of people who will go to Wash-

Ford Administration. The neatly painted white lettering on the truck read: SAVE THE BEAVERS. YOU NEED THEM. THEY NEED YOU. I instantly recognized this wasn’t about big time college football, and for that I was thankful. I was also thankful because I live for these random encounters with people. You know want I what my epitaph to read? “He would have rather been dead than incurious.” A conversation with this man was imperative. How could it not be? I wrote something called the Beaver State Trilogy and the new logo for my publishing company is a bucktoothed beaver holding a microphone like some furry beatnik poet. I love informing people that Oregon has the RQO\ WZR VLGHG VWDWH ÀDJ LQ WKH QDWLRQ DQG a golden beaver is on that other side. I once watched a beaver build a dam in a remote creek way up in a coastal watershed. It was probably the best silent hour I’ve ever spent in the woods. I think I may have derived my entire work ethic for creating a writing life from that transcendent experience. I asked if I could take a photograph of him standing by the truck. “Sure you can brother!” he said. “It’s all for the beavers and getting the word out!” The word? We started talking. Five minutes into our conversation, I knew I had met the world’s most passionate spiritual advocate for beavers and walked into one of the best Oregon stories of my life. His name was James Murphy and he owned a romping tan lab named Marley. He had a house in outer southeast Portland but hated Portland now and rarely went back. He was a wandering man of the North Oregon Coast now, evangelizing for the protecJames Murphy is a passionate advocate for the protection of beavers. tion of beavers. 4 | August 13, 2015 | coastweekend.com

ington D.C. and lobby for the protection of beavers. I happily signed it and provided my contact information. I was surprised by how many names were in there. He’s been, well, busy as a beaver, and people are responding. James exploded into a smile when I asked if it would be okay to write up his story and help spread the word. The Word. “Yes brother!” he said. “Yes. Do whatever you can!” “I’m calling you the Beaver Man,” I said. “Yes I am!”

Different musical backgrounds have inÀuenced their sound. To them, country music is more about the stories behind the songs than ¿tting into a certain mold of what country music is supposed to sound like. Life happens, and there always seems to be something new to write a song about. The inspiration behind their music comes from the kind of songs you put on repeat over and over again. Writing clever songs that resonate with people while coming up with new ways to approach popular top-

visits Seaside Public Library, Fort Clatsop SEASIDE and ASTORIA — In 1979, Gary Moulton began a venture to publish a completely re-edited version of the Lewis and &lark (xpedition journals at the University of 1ebraska. The 20-year project wrapped in 1999 with a 13-volume edition of the journals, the most comprehensive works of the Lewis and &lark (xpedition in print today. A top Lewis and &lark historian and this month’s scholar-in-residence at Lewis and &lark 1ational Historical Park, Moulton will make two presentations in the local area. First, he will speak at the Seaside Public Library at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13. His talk will focus on Lewis and &lark history in and around the Seaside area, which will include the salt making camp as well as the whale expedition over Tillamook Head. The event is free, will take place in the library’s &ommunity Room and seating is on a ¿rst-come basis. Then, at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 16, Moulton will give the special free presentation ³(diting the Journals of Lewis and &lark´ in the Fort &latsop visitor center’s 1etul River Room. This presentation looks at the history of the journals kept by Meriwether Lewis, William &lark, and four enlisted men of the expedition as they crossed the continent from 1804 to 1806. The men of the &orps of Discovery wrote more than one million words during their voyage of nearly 2.5 years. The journals are ¿lled with accounts of high drama, but also contain elaborate notes on scienti¿c inquiry: natural history, ethnographic investigation and geographic revelations. The story of the journals is almost as interesting as the history of the expedition itself. Meticulously written and carefully preserved during the arduous trans-continental

crossing, the journals reside today in several archives across the country, principally at the American Philosophical Society in Philadelphia and the Missouri Historical Society in St. Louis. A discussion of this scattered distribution will form the main part of Moulton’s presentation at Fort &latsop. The talk will also investigate individual journalists and their writings, examine the nature and quality of journal keeping, and address questions about missing journals. Finally, the talk will evaluate previous editors’ work and explain the need for the recent edition. The new edition numbers 12 regular volumes, including an atlas of maps, the journals of Lewis, &lark, John Ordway, &harles Floyd, Patrick Glass and Joseph Whitehouse. There is also be a volume of the expedition’s botanical specimens, plus a comprehensive index. During his editing process, Moulton had to decipher the hand-written text of these journals from micro ¿lm or the original texts to get the most accurate reading possible. This proved to be a real challenge with poor penmanship, improper spelling and the age of the entries. &lark spelled the Indian tribe

Members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition made salt in Seaside in the winter of 1806.

Relive how Lewis & Clark made sea salt in Seaside SEASIDE — A special living history program, Commenced Making Salt, focusing on the Lewis and Clark Expedition’s salt-making activities, will take place for ¿ve hours on Saturday, Aug. 15. Visitors will meet National Park Rangers in period costume making salt from seawater and discussing details of the expedition. This event is from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the beach at the west end of Avenue U. (From U.S. Highway 101, take Avenue U to the beach. From the Promenade in Seaside, walk south to where Avenue U meets the beach.) One of the reasons the Corps of Discovery wintered near the Paci¿c Ocean was that it was running out of salt for preserving and Àavoring meat. The expedition’s captains were hoping for “a convenient Situation to the Sea Coast where we Could make Salt,” according to William Clark’s Nov. 24, 1805 journal. In January 1806, after the Corps settled into its Fort Clatsop winter camp, a detachment traveled to the future site of Seaside to set up a salt-making camp next to the ocean. This camp operated for seven weeks and produced about four bushels of salt for their winter and return trip to the United States. The actual location of the expedition’s Salt Works can

Fish, family

and the ties that bind

Tina Ward went from working summers to owning the Sportsmen’s Cannery in Seaview, Washington — a labor of love and hard work Story and photos by LYNETTE RAE McADAMS

T The family-owned-and-operated Sportsmen’s Cannery in Seaview, Washington, has been in continuous operation since 1943. The Ward family, pictured here, took ownership in 2001. From left: Kempsey Ward, Tina Ward, Greg Petit, Sydney Ward, Kevin Ward, (and Ruger, the dog).

Christie Bartlett, right, and Kim Pickering pack fresh tuna into cans at the Sportsmen’s Cannery in Seaview, Washington. Each can is packed by hand, individually weighed, then sealed and processed in one of the facility’s twin pressure cookers, which have been in use since the 1950s.

Tina Ward was penniless and unemployed the day she stepped from the bus in Seaview, Washington, and headed in to apply for a Mob as a Âżsh proFessor at the Sportsmen’s Cannery. ,t was an aFt that would shape and Fhange her life forever, but of Fourse, she Fouldn’t have known that then — when you’re only years old, the moving hand of fate Fan be pretty hard to reFogni]e. 0ore than three deFades later, sitting outside the same Fannery, now as its owner, she laughs about that long-ago summer day: Âł,t was time to think about sFhool Flothes for the fall, and , wanted something fanFier than what we Fould afford. 0y mom told me, ‘When you’re making your own money, you Fan buy whatever you want.’ “Well that was the only opening I needed,´ Ward reFalls, rolling her eyes at the thought of her young, overly-ambitious self. “I took it to mean that it was Must Âżne for me to go out and get a job. So I hopped on the transit, and that’s e[aFtly what I did.´

Looking ahead

Eight fresh coho salmon await the fillet knife at the Sportsmen’s Canery. Information for each order is written on parchment paper and remains with the fish from start to finish, ensuring the company’s motto: “Your own fish back since 1943.�

Kevin Ward looks over 91 albacore tuna, all destined for the can, which lie thawing at the Sportsmen’s Cannery at the Port of Ilwaco, Washington.

Opened in 1943 by Roseanne and Lefty Leavers, the Sportsmen’s Cannery does what the name implies — it’s the plaFe where any sport Âżsher Fan bring a fresh FatFh for proFessing, and have it returned to them, no minimum required. In the earliest days, the business sustained itself mainly on ra]or Flams, Fleaned and Fooked but through the years, more and more serviFes were offered, always alongside the Fannery’s signature seller: 3aFiÂżF albaFore tuna. When it Fhanged hands for the Âżrst time in 19 , it was purFhased by the %rophy family, who pledged to offer the same Âżne serviFe as their predeFessors and to Fontinue the Fompany’s original promise: “<our own Âżsh baFk sinFe 1943.´ (ventually, the family added a seFond seasonal loFation at the 3ort of IlwaFo, e[panding their FommerFial buying operation for tuna and salmon, and offering doFkside serviFes that made it easi-

This summer, both girls are spending time home from Follege, working alongside their parents onFe more. “She taught us that all the good things you want in life Fome from hard work and good FhoiFes,â€? says Sydney. “And I feel really luFky to have learned that at suFh a young age.â€? Leaning in, Kempsey lowers her voiFe and looks onFe over her shoulder, the usual sign that a family seFret is in the ofÂżng, only this time, the word’s already out: “TeFhniFally, both my parents own this Fannery,â€? she says, a smart little smile playing at the Forners of her mouth, “but really, we all know that it’s my mom’s.â€?

And while most kids would have been put off by the thought of handling Âżsh all day, for her, it was a perfeFt dream. “I loved everything about it,â€? she says. “The work, the Âżsh, the Fustomers, the payFheFk, all of it — I Fouldn’t get enough.â€? Working summers and vaFations at the Fannery through junior high and high sFhool, Ward saved her money — Âżrst for those designer jeans, then for a Far, then for

Family Life

Kevin Ward’s hands are almost a blur as he presses the thin blade of a Âżllet knife along the spine of a Foho salmon, deftly maneuvering it through the bright Ă€esh with one seemingly effortless pass, just as he’s done more than a million times before. Looking up from the butFher table, he FatFhes a glimpse of his oldest daughter, Sydney, now 22, and FoFking his head a little to one side, Ă€ashes a grin before saying, “<ou

know, it’s all about the women in my life.â€? It’s obvious he means it and only in the best of ways in all respeFts, he looks like a man who Fan spot something good when he sees it. “I didn’t know muFh,â€? he says, thinking baFk to that Âżrst summer with the woman who would beFome his wife, “but I was at least smart enough to reali]e that if I hung onto Tina, she’d see us through. “Now don’t get me wrong,â€? he adds, “I work hard. %ut I’ve never met anyone who Fan work like she does. I’m telling you, she’s a Fomplete powerhouse. All the women in her family are that way. I remember

‘For me, it’s like breathing. When the fish are here, we have to work. That’s just how it is, and I can’t help but love it.’ a few years baFk, it was a three-day ra]or Flamming dig, and we had limits to Flean, so the whole family was pitFhing in. Tina’s grandma worked for 28 hours straight and her mom did 3 . I made it to 3 , but Tina, she saw it all the way through to the last Flam. It was 41 hours, non-stop, and she was still standing. She’s the most ama]ing woman I’ve ever known.â€? “For me, it’s like breathing,â€? says Tina Ward, of work in the Fannery she seemed destined to own — an idea that beFame reality in 2 1. “When the Âżsh are here, we have to work. That’s just how it is, and I Fan’t help but love it.â€? True to family form, she seems to have passed her genetiF Fode straight down to both her daughters. “0y mom’s work ethiF is fantastiF, and

“I guess it’s that it’s always been suFh a big part of my life,â€? says Tina Ward, quiFk to admit her emotional attaFhment to the Fannery. “It feels just like a family — all the tears but all the fun and laughter, too. It’s like an aFtual, living thing for me. “%ut it was all my FhoiFe,â€? she adds, relinquishing her daughters from any pressure to take over. “I want them to Âżnd their own work in this life to love, and I don’t think this Fannery is it. “People have offered to buy it from us through the years, and my husband says, ‘Come on, isn’t there some magiF number in your head that will do it"’ %ut the truth is, there isn’t. I Fan’t just hand it over to someone who doesn’t really know what it entails, or sell it to someone who thinks it might be Fharming to have an old Fannery. %elieve me, there’ve been plenty of times that I haven’t thought it was very Fharming.â€? All around her, though, there’s evidenFe to the Fontrary: the same weathered Fannery walls bear a FlassiF whitewash over Fedar shake the same smokehouse Fhurns out raFks of alder-sFented salmon, all done to tawny perfeFtion the same Âżshing Ă€oats festoon the entranFe to a world that, thanks to this woman, has stayed largely the same for 72 years. Tina Ward says she hasn’t met the next person destined to own her Fannery. “%ut when I do,â€? she adds, “something tells me I’ll know it right away.â€? 8ntil then, whether you’ve Faught it yourself or not, the same inFredibly deliFious produFts — fresh, fro]en, smoked, sealed or Fanned — will Fontinue to be the result of her family’s love and dediFation to hard work. And that’s good news for all of us. August 13, 2015 | coastweekend.com | 13

Sweet Basil’s

Sweet Basil’s Vegetarian Reuben features thinly cut, peppered Tofurkey instead of pastrami.

Cannon Beach eatery delivers fresh ingredients

I

It was a gorgeous summer evening, the shadows just growing long. With clams and Osso Buco before me and an iced mug of beer at my side, Dr. John came over the stereo. The rich, indulgent tastes coupled with the canonical New Orleans singer’s raspy swamp funk whisked me away, far from Cannon Beach. Which, I imagine, is pretty much what owner and chef John Sowa intended. While Sowa originally hails from New York, he studied in Louisiana under one of the original celebrity chefs, Paul Prudhomme. After a decade or so in the region, Sowa found his way to the North Coast, where he opened Little Bayou in Seaside. It was big, boasted live music regularly, a lively array of hot sauce and a decor all be¿tting of the Big (asy. In , though, Sowa and his wife felt it time to downsize, so he moved on to open Sweet Basil’s in Cannon Beach. At ¿rst Sowa planned to do only lunch. He found a small place with a smaller kitchen. It was — and in many ways still is — less equipped than the average home. (Rather than a stovetop, Sweet Basil’s uses three portable hotplate/camping burners. As such, the menu notes that because of the limitations, food might take awhile, though on my trips the speed was just ¿ne.

Demand quickly grew. “Lunch was poppin’,â€? Sowa told me. So he attempted to expand, albeit incrementally, by offering tapas but quickly found that small plates weren’t what hungry tourists wanted. And so he returned to his bayou beginnings with a full dinner menu. But he did so with a strong and unwavering sense, knowing exactly what he wanted — and what he didn’t. For dinner, my companion and I began with the Clams 0ateo ( . . In a white wine sauce and loaded with bacon, tomato, caramelized onions and herbs, they were as much a pleasure to look at as they were to eat. (Indeed, with clams the process can be just as enjoyable as the taste. A table adjacent to ours devoured their own bowl so fervently that they quickly ordered a second. “We had one order and we just thought: hey, we’re having another,â€? the wide-eyed diner told me. “They’re amazing.â€? I agreed. My companion and I then shared entrĂŠes, the Seafood Jambalaya ( . and the Pork Shank Osso Buco ( . . Of the two, the taste (and presentation of the Osso Buco towered above the Jambalaya. It was marvelously plated, standing on its head, bones jutting skyward out of a thick tomato sauce underneath which sat the richest, creamiest parme-

san-tinged polenta the world has ever known. Removing the caramelized meat from the bones was a delight, and wrapped in the center it remained juicy and steaming hot. The Jambalaya was less memorable, its red sauce almost bland by comparison. The seafood in the dish — shrimp, craw¿sh, salmon and crab — was ¿ne, though not outstanding. The sausage offered a signi¿cant back-of-thetongue spice. My companion and I shared the two dishes (neither of which was outlandishly portioned and made a point not to over-eat. We took left-overs, and yet still both felt signi¿cantly slowed for at least a good hour after ¿nishing, as if both the brain and body were operating at around percent. (In part, I blame that devilishly creamy polenta...

The lunch menu, however, was much leaner. From it I tried ¿rst the 9egetarian Reuben ( . , an idea so seemingly anathema to the original — it exists because of corned beef — I had to know: Was it folly or innovation? Happily, I found it to be the latter. Thinly cut, peppered Tofurkey adequately appropriated the texture of pastrami, and the remainder of the ingredients — lightly toasted wheat bread, sauerkraut,

The Mouth found this salad to be fresh and filling, featuring a base of organic greens, cranberries, walnuts, apples and chicken (as well as a few cucumbers and some tomatoes on the side, which had no business being on the plate).

Swiss cheese and a lightly sweet Thousand Island dressing — were spot on. Indeed, unless in the midst of an insatiable craving for red meat, the 9egetarian Reuben is a worthy trade — your gastrointestinal tract will thank you. As the menu noted, the Italian Panini ( . , is “Simply tomatoes, basil pesto, mozzarella and provolone.� Indeed, standard as it was, it sang. It was buttery, oily, full of pesto and balanced by bright tomatoes. (Both sandwiches were served with two or three bites worth of mixed greens, topped with a smidgen of house-made roasted tomato dressing, and both could be made vegan with soy cheese .

Finally I had a salad so familiar there ought to name it for it. On a base of organic greens were cranberries, walnuts, apples and chicken (as well as a few cucumbers and some tomatoes on the side, which had no business being on the plate . With a mango-lime dressing that was equal parts of each, the chicken on the Roasted Chicken and Apple Salad ( .

was perhaps the least appealing ingredient (besides those stubborn tomatoes . The meat was dry and unseasoned. Overall though, the plate was fresh and ¿lling. It also differed from the menu. In fact, I found two different menus in Sweet Basil’s — the one posted on the window differed ever so slightly from the one on my table. The distinctions were almost meaningless. For instance, on the salad one menu said it came with pecans, another said almonds. I received walnuts. To me this isn’t so much carelessness as Sowa’s commitment to putting the best and freshest ingredients available that are be¿tting of the dish. And that’s pretty much Sweet Basil’s in a nutshell: Put yourself in Sowa’s hands, and occasionally he’ll carry you away.

The Resolectrics perform at Fort George Portland band brings soulful blend of folk, rock and R&B ASTORIA — The Resolectrics are a classic rhythm and blues band, but like the pioneers of rock ‘n’ roll in the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s, they draw inspiration from many sources in the roots of American music to create an original and soulful blend of rock, R&B and folk. Their ragged-yet-heartfelt harmonies, bluesy riffs and swampy grooves are sure to move you. Hear the band live at 8 pm. Sunday, Aug. 16 at the Fort George Brewery. All ages are welcome, and there is no cover. The brewery is located at 1483 Duane St. The Resolectrics formed in the summer of 2009 when Johnny Brenda (guitar/vocals) and Rhumen Boord (keys/ vocals) decided they should form a group around the blues/ Americana-based music they had been sharing together on the front porch over beers. Boord had already been playing with drummer Johnny

‘All the Better to Kill You With’ opens Veterans, newcomers take the stage in August TAPA play TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts opens its summer thriller “All the Better to Kill You With” at 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 14 with a gala reception. Ticket purchase to the opening night includes one complimentary beverage and appetizers. The show continues at 7 p.m. Aug. 15, 21, 22, 28 and 29. Matinees will take place at 2 p.m. Aug. 16 and 23. Doors open 30 minutes prior to curtain. Written by Fred Carmichael and directed by Brett Duer, “All the Better to Kill You With” is not just another love triangle that causes another murder. This is a classic whodunit with the exciting twist of the audience not only getting to see “who done it” but also how the whole thing is planned and carried out. Audiences see the clever interweaving of truth and falsehood that produces a tapestry of tension and thrills while meticulously blending mystery and humor. The carefully planned deception almost works until truth rears its head and the brilliant structure of cunning topples to the ground. The question is not necessarily “whodunit,” so to speak, but rather will the murderer be found out. The result is high tension and good dramatic ex-

This production not only brings veteran TAPA directors Richard Coon, Chris Chiola and Robert Buckingham back on the stage as actors, but also offers a chance for ¿rst-timers as well. TAPA veteran Brett Duer is at the director helm for the ¿rst time. “After performing at TAPA for several years, I am excited to get into the director’s chair,” Duer said. “This play has a lot of dark notes to it with a reminiscent feel of TAPA’s 2012 production ‘Wait Until Dark.’ I wanted to capture another side of the 1960s in regards to style and the gender roles of that era; it wasn’t all peace and love.

Robert Buckingham plays Russell Livingston, the suave and handsome ex-boyfriend of Erica, who is suspected of trying to rekindle the old romance. Holly Dickson plays Doug’s sister Paula, who wants to escape her checkered past but seems to always ¿nd herself stuck in a downward spiral. Rounding out the cast are Chief Inspector Henderson, played by TAPA veteran Richard Coon, and Sergeant Roger Parkins, played by Garrick Gordon. While the Chief Inspector is the straight-faced and straightlaced law enforcement veteran, Sergeant Parkins is on his ¿rst murder case and looks on with a childlike amazement and enthusiasm. Their Abbott-and-Costello-like chemistry is both intense and hilarious. Reserved seating is available through Diamond Art Jewelers located at 307 Main St.; call 503-842-7940 for reservations.

“I am very excited to have so many talented actors in one production,” Duer continued. “The cast members are all hard-working actors and bring their own unique talents to the team. They have great chemistry on stage which makes this production rich in character and storytelling.” Anita O’Hagan is a newcomer to TAPA and plays the well-intentioned and often outspoken Evelyn Hopkins. “Being in a play has been on my bucket list for years,” O’Hagan said. “I was at the right place at the right time and was able to audition. Never in a million years would I have thought I would actually receive a part. I am having a blast and love every single minute of it, plus I can now cross this off my bucket list.” Included in the cast is TAPA Board President Chris Chiola, who plays the wildly cunning Doug Travers.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE

Bloody Mary

An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

By RYAN HUME The Portway Tavern lays claim to being the oldest-running saloon in Astoria, with its doors first opening as a café deep inside the Prohibition Era year of 1925. With age comes mystery and stories to explain the unexplained, especially in a bar. For instance, what is going on with that trapdoor sawed into the wood floor? Rumors of hauntings have bellied around the bar for years. In fact, during a recent visit, the bartender on duty claimed to have had her first eerie occurrence after several months on the job when she was opening up that very morning. She’d had the very distinct sensation that something (not someone, mind you) was peeking at her from around the dart machine that leads to the bathrooms. Though I don’t think this recent incident informed her decision to stir me up a Bloody Mary, a cocktail now synonymous with the popular urban legend, both of which sneer homage at Queen Mary I, who wasn’t very popular with the Protestant set. The Portway doesn’t use a mix for their Marys, but concocts each one to order. The bartender advised to start slow on the fixings, as you can always add spice and salt, but never take away. Bloody Mary, the venerable cocktail, turned 80 in 2014. And while there is certainly something nice about sitting in one of Astoria’s oldest bars, sipping on an old lady, make sure you only have one, never three, and never in front of a mirror. Ingredients: 1 or 2 wedges fresh lime 1 wedge fresh lemon 2 ounces vodka A few dashes of A.1. Steak Sauce, to taste A few dashes of Worcestershire sauce, to taste A few dashes of Tabasco, to taste Celery salt, to taste Black pepper, to taste A drizzle of Manzanilla olive brine Tomato juice Ice Lemon, lime, olives for garnish

Optional: Kosher or coarse salt 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon prepared horseradish Directions: If salting the rim, rub down the lip of a pint glass with a lime wedge before dredging it in salt. (Note: For additional kick, add the cayenne to the salt beforehand.) Fill the pint glass to the brim with ice. Add the vodka and the juice from one lime and one lemon wedge. To taste, add the celery salt, black pepper, A. 1., Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, olive brine and horseradish if using. Finish with tomato juice and garnish with olives and additional citrus. (Note: Or run it through the garden at home. Leafy celery can double as a stirrer and a snack. Pickled vegetables — such as cocktail onions, pepperoncini, green beans or asparagus — are a nice addition. Some even go the extra distance and spear meat or seafood onto the toothpick. Try a hunk of salami or mortadella or add a cooked shrimp.) —Recipe courtesy of Jennifer Mills, bartender at the Portway Tavern, Astoria, Oregon

From left, Ryan Tallman, Don Child, Bryce Nurding and Jonathan Williams pose in front of a Wisconsin sign as they enter the state July 21. After leaving Astoria June 18, the group is biking across America this summer to raise funds for Operation Comfort Warriors. They expect to reach New York City Aug. 15.

Bike Trip America Astoria to New York City Update #2, July 8 to Aug. 4

By MARILYN GILBAUGH The crew: Astoria teenage Boy Scouts Bryce Nurding, Ryan Tallman and Jonathan Williams are just two states — Pennsylvania and New York — away from completing their cross-country biking odyssey. Adult support team cyclist Don Child, of Hawaii, and Suburban driver Pat Wollner, of Gearhart, keep on with the boys. States under their belt: Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio. Mileage: As of Tuesday, Aug. 4, they’ve traveled 2,854.5 miles into the 3,521.3 total according to Bryce Nurding’s calculations.

Highlights: On schedule: The crew has spent close to seven weeks on their bikes — daily burning 5,000-plus

calories. They are on their way to reach NYC on Aug. 15. Raising the bar: The mission of this biking trip is to raise funds and awareness for Operation Comfort Warriors. These Boy Scouts set their goal at $10,000 — and surpassed it while in Indiana. Not settling after achieving that number, they’ve set a higher goal of $15,000 and are well on their way to the $12,000 mark. Support from strangers: People all along the way have been unbelievably supportive with meals, lodging and tours of home towns. The going is good: Aside from a couple of flat tires, some tire changes, and a tune up or two, things are (knock on wood here) going really well. July 26: Hosts in Manitowoc, Wisconsin treated the boys like royalty on their super farm, complete with TV, X-box, paintball, nerf-ball, basketball, kayaking, a pool table, a pond with a zip line across it and Wisconsin ice cream. July 31: Riding into LaGrange, Indiana, the crew was met with a police escort, lights flashing, siren blazing, and a welcome committee of 300 people for dinner at the local American Legion Hall. Aug. 3: Happy 17th birthday to Bryce Nurding! Scenic summer: Midwest fireflies and flatlands, beautiful old towns, and large brick homes resemble movie sets. American flags fly everywhere.

Once upon a time ago, coffee was coffee, and a coffee shop was a coffee shop, and people didn’t talk about coffee; they drank it for free and they actually talked to one another rather than fiddling nonsense on their phones and tablets. That was so long ago, no one under 35 will probably remember that era. But there is a golden return to the ambiance of the old days with the DownPhoto by Matt Love town Coffee Shop, a hidden The coffee is good and plentiful at gem of Astoria’s café scene. I started frequenting the Downtown Coffee Shop in Astoria. joint, located on 10th Street just south of Commercial, when it became almost impossible to find a seat (or languor) at my other favorite coffeehouses in town. I now use Downtown’s quiet outdoor seating area as my summer writing studio and love how I can stare at ancient fire escapes, the mighty river, and watch the comings and goings of the customers from the beauty salon across the street. Everyone always looks happy when they leave the salon. I like watching happy people, and the outside tables of Downtown are a perfect place to do that. The coffee is good and plentiful here, and owner Hayley Clark leads an excellent smiling crew who create a fun atmosphere to hang out in. How could it not be with the huge poster of Fabio presiding over the room? Downtown offers a breakfast and lunch menu, virgin cocktails, assorted baked goods, and the occasional toasted peanut butter and jelly sandwich special for Throwback Thursdays. What’s next? Folgers drip coffee? Yes, please. I almost forgot to mention: Downtown Coffee delivers between Eighth and 14th streets. How is that for old school?! It’s open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday.

Matt Love lives in Astoria and is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon. They are available at coastal bookstores and through www.nestuccaspitpress.com

IN THE ZINE Nestucca Spit Press’s Hipster Astoria, a fold-out zine guide, is out this August and features a 1940 map of Astoria and all the cool retro spots in town.
