Liberty Theater The Manhattan Transfer to open new season ASTORIA – The Liberty Theater opens its performance season with The Manhattan Transfer in concert at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 23. Tickets are $35 to $45, available at the theater box office or through TicketsWest. Relive the dulcet tones of the famous multi-Grammy-winning foursome that started in 1969 in New York City with such hits as “Operator,” “Tuxedo Junction,” “Where Did Our Love Go?” and “Route 66.” The Manhattan Transfer is a highly accomplished vocal music group that takes its name from the 1925 novel of the same name by John Dos Passos. The name refers to their Manhattan roots, teeming with energy and restlessness. Tim Hauser, Janis Siegel, Alan Paul and Cheryl Bentyne make up the current incarna-

tion of the group. Hauser is the only original member of the ensemble from 1969, with Siegel and Paul joining the group in 1973 and Bentyne added in 1978. The Manhattan Transfer has recorded under many labels and Grammy nominations and awards have followed the group all over the world. In 1985, the album “Vocalese” received 12 Grammy nominations. At that time, “Vocalese” was second only to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” as the most-nominated single album. That year, The Manhattan Transfer won in two categories: Best Jazz Vocal Performance, Duo or Group, and Best Arrangement for Voices. Also scheduled for the upcoming season are the Mike Strickland Quartet with guest

Sorensen will be in the gallery for a demonstration starting at noon Saturday, Aug. 18. An artist reception will be held from 4 to 6 that evening. Other featured August artists include Steve Hanks, with luminous photorealistic figure studies and beachscapes, and John Ebner, whose paintings are evocative distillations of nature.

THE HUNGER GAMES

BREATHLESS

THE RAID: REDEMPTION

Based on the book by Suzanne Collins, the Hunger Games movie is a good tribute that will leave fans delighted. Though not as exciting as the book, it is still worth seeing. Stanley Tucci, Wes Bentley, Jennifer Lawrence.

“Breathless” is one of those films that you would normally pass up. It packs much more than you would expect. It is gory, it is brutal and it packs a boat load of twists and turns. There are more twists and turns in this film than a windy road. It is also packs an impressive sexy cast including Gina Gershon and Kelli Giddish. The supporting cast has no shortage of talent including Val Kilmer and Ray Liotta. If you are looking for a fun and crazy ride, I would definitely consider giving “Breathless” a chance.

The Raid, a new non-stop cornucopia action film, comes from the most unlikely of sources – Indonesia. But don’t let the country of origin fool you. The Raid is jam packed with some of the best action sequences we’ve seen in years and audiences are sure to walk away with an adrenaline rush punch to the gut that far exceeds their forked (over) entertainment dollar.

Fort Clatsop Park volunteer wins national award ASTORIA – Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, Fort Clatsop reports that one of its volunteers, Elita Tom, was awarded the Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foundation’s Youth Achievement award Aug. 1 at the foundation’s annual meeting in Clarksville, Ind. Tom received this in recognition of her many years of outstanding volunteer support at Fort Clatsop and her remarkable achievements while undertaking the role of Sacagawea in various firstperson interpretation programs. Tom is a junior at Rex Putnam High School, the daughter of Lewis and Clark National Park Association bookstore employee Terri Schleiss, and a member of the Yakama Indian Nation. Now 17, she started volunteering for the park in 2006, greeting and orienting park visitors, working with the junior ranger program, and helping with an annual survey. Working with the Pacific Northwest Living Historians, in 2009 Tom began to portray Sacagawea at special events such as Wintering Over in January and The Saltmakers Return to Seaside in August. Visitors who meet Tom while she is portraying Sacagawea have a unique opportunity to connect with the story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition’s winter at Fort Clatsop. She helps them to understand that Sacagawea was a real person who experienced hardships with determination. Tom also volunteers with other organizations, including her church youth group, and

Elita Tom, 17, portrays Sacagawea at area living history events, including The Saltmakers Return to Seaside, shown, and Wintering Over at Fort Clatsop. SUBMITTED PHOTO

has become involved in theater. Park staff members enjoy working with Tom and are proud of her accomplishments. Volunteer program manager Sally Freeman said, “Elita is a hard-working, caring person who is a joy to be around.” The Lewis and Clark Trail Heritage Foun-

dation (www.lewisandclark.org) was established in 1978 and serves as advocate and interpreter of the Lewis and Clark National Historic Trail. The Saltmakers Return to Seaside living history event takes place Aug. 17 to 19, on the beach at Seaside.

Lunar Boy Gallery Art venue moves to online store Lunar Boy Gallery in downtown Astoria has closed its doors and will offer its art and entertaining products online. Owner Deborah Starr said, “I will miss being part of the downtown environment and I believe the gallery will be missed, but it is time for a new phase of the business.” Although the past several years of bad economy have dished up some significant challenges, the gallery remained as a bastion of creative artwork and delightful wares, since opening in 2004. The extreme amount of time and energy that it took to keep the business going during this tough economic climate needed to take a back 8 | August 16, 2012 | coastweekend.com

seat to the changing needs of Starr’s family, she said. Although Lunar Boy will no longer be a venue on the Second Saturday Art Walk, an event that Starr spearheaded for the past several years, the alternative and contemporary art that the gallery was known for will still be available through the website www.lunarboygallery.com The monthly shows will happen online, featuring many of the same artists that have graced the walls of Lunar Boy. Some new ones have already been added. The jump may seem drastic to some onlookers, but Starr has been developing the online sales capabilities and presence

for some time. With a significant background in mail-order retail, Starr is looking forward to applying her accumulated experience in this new chapter of her life and her business. Even though Lunar Boy will not be available for art patrons to meander through, local art enthusiast Teri Sund, formerly of RiverSea Gallery has taken the space and will be opening a new art gallery, to fill the void. With years of experience in managing an art gallery and significant knowledge of the landscape of the local art community, the new business will differ from Lunar Boy, but will provide another artistic offering.

A present-day visitor watches a Corps of Discovery member from 1806 boil seawater to separate out the salt. The Corps members are played by Pacific Northwest Living Historian interpreters.

The Saltmakers Return SEASIDE – Who would think boiling water could be so interesting? The Saltmakers Return to Seaside Aug. 17 to 19 in an annual sojourn into history where visitors can meet, trade and talk with soldiers and civilians of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery making salt for their return trip. Pacific Northwest Living Historian interpreters will set up a camp on the beach in south Seaside, where they will make salt from seawater 24 hours a day from 5 p.m. Friday through 3 p.m. Sunday. This event will be on the beach at the west end of Avenue U. From U.S. Highway 101, take Avenue U to the beach. On the Promenade, walk south to where Av-

enue U meets the beach. The Saltmakers Return is a free interactive learning opportunity for the whole family. This weekend program is a 46hour first-person historical interpretation of the 1806 winter salt making operation of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. After a brief orientation, the public is encouraged to walk into the camp and visit with members of the expedition who will be tending fires and boiling seawater to make salt. This popular program attracts about 2,000 visitors each year. The Seaside Museum and Historical Society partners with the Pacific Northwest Living Historians and Lewis and Clark National Historical Park to produce

The Saltmakers Return to Seaside. This year’s event is sponsored by the city of Seaside Promotions Committee and Public Works Department, The Tides Motel, Clatsop County and Oregon State Parks. Members of the Pacific Northwest Living Historians have been portraying characters of the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery for these special programs since 2001. Their annual schedule includes this program and Wintering Over at Fort Clatsop each January.

World Kite Museum Gearing up for Kite Festival

SUBMITTED PHOTO

A six-kite train of computer-designed kites will be raffled during the Washington State International Kite Festival. The picture shown is not the one that will be raffled, but shows the unique type of art contributor Ken Conrad has created.

LONG BEACH, WASH. – The Washington State International Kite Festival is a week-long kite celebration and competition held annually during the third week of August; this year it will be Aug. 20 through 26. The festival is held on Long Beach, near the World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame on the beach approach at 303 Sid Snyder Drive. The kite extravaganza boasts skies ablaze with color, high-flying action and choreographed movement, drawing famous kite fliers from all around the world and tens of thousands of awed spectators, many of whom participate in the fun with their own kite-flying adventures. Many times in the past, a kite artist has contributed a one-of-a-kind kite to raffle at the festival to support the museum. This year’s contributing artist, Ken Conrad, is contributing a six-kite train of computer-designed kites that fly in tandem. Conrad says the design is created by mathematically created graphics; the design of each kite is different but coordinated in colors and shapes with each other. Raffle tickets will be $1 each, seven for $5, 15 for $10 or 35 for $20. Some of the main events include a day of kite trains, arches and stacks, Monday, Aug. 20, and a mega bird kite fly, Thursday, Aug. 23. Activities Monday also include a kite train workshop in the afternoon. For the mega bird kite fly Thursday, the museum offers online plans to make a bird kite. One is from Lee Toy’s guide to kite-making, “Flight Plans,” and is called the “Swallowtail Delta Variant.” The plans can be found at www.worldkitemuseum.com

Cover of Oregon Coast Bridges by Ray A. Allen.

“Oregon Coast Bridges” By Ray A. Allen

uthor Ray A. Allen’s book, “Oregon Coast Bridges,” is much like the subject matter; a labor of love and thoughtful construction. Published in 2011, it chronicles Oregon architectural history through detailed descriptions, thorough research and beautiful black and white photographs by James Norman. With 40 bridges profiled from Astoria to Brookings, it is a roadmap to Oregon’s past. “Oregon Coast Bridges” is a fascinating must-read for enthusiasts of history, art, architecture, photography and politics. It is the ultimate road-trip guide to the Oregon Coast’s many recognizable landmarks and will inspire readers with the limitless possibilities of human achievement. Allen spent his formative years along the Oregon Coast. During summer vacations at his grandparents’ beach cabin at Heceta Beach, the unique architectural style of such bridges as the Alsea Bay Bridge captured his imagination. As an adult, a road trip from his home in Eugene with his wife back to his coastal childhood haunts was an exhilarating eye-opener. “I think being away from the coast for several years is what really sparked the idea for the book,” Allen said. “Sometimes the things we grow up with get taken for granted.” The years away from the coast gave Allen a new perspective into the bridges. Spending time visiting his grandparents’ old vacation spot and chatting

about early memories made him realize how spectacular these structures were. “I thought about the many beautiful coastal bridges, and how visitors might like to know about them,” Allen said. “Once I discovered Conde B. McCullough was the architect of these lovely gifts, the story blossomed.” Allen effortlessly details McCullough’s contributions to Oregon’s history. McCullough served as the master bridge designer and bridge engineer for the Oregon State Highway Department (now ODOT) from 1919 until 1937. During the Great Depression, he oversaw the construction of five coastal bridges, putting people to work and connecting communities. His unique specialty, the concrete arch, is easily recognizable along bridges on U.S. Highway 101. Allen lauds McCullough’s contributions to

the bridge network of the Oregon Coast Highway in the book’s introduction: “McCullough’s masterpieces are so prominently displayed that the coast highway has truly become a motoring museum.” Of notable interest to North Coast residents are the four bridges Allen profiles from this area: The Columbia River (Astoria) Bridge, Youngs Bay Bridge, Old Youngs Bay Bridge and the Lewis and Clark River Bridge. In particular, the section detailing the planning and construction of the Columbia River Bridge is a fascinating step-by-step chronicle of the vital link between Oregon and Washington. Black-and-white photographs detail the bridge’s construction, from empty spans to the familiar skyline-ruling masterpiece seen today. Allen describes the daunting task laid forth to builders of the proposed bridge: “One of the

largest cantilever bridges in the world, Astoria’s main span reaches an impressive 1,232 feet in length. Designers created the bridge to withstand a harsh coastal environment of high winds, fierce winter storms and river floods.” Allen even notes that, while a stunningly successful achievement when it was completed, the Columbia River Bridge was mocked by the L.A. Times as “The Bridge to Nowhere,” a moniker that stuck for many years. But, as Allen notes, its designers, engineers and users had the last laugh: “Today, about 6,000 vehicles a day cross the Columbia River Bridge, and U.S. 101 remains unbroken between the Canadian and Mexican borders. The ‘Bridge to Nowhere’ has become Astoria’s – and Oregon’s – ‘Bridge to the World.’” August 16, 2012 | coastweekend.com | 11

Jazz, Blues & Seafood STORY BY KATE GIESE • PHOTOS SUBMITTED

The Long Beach Peninsula hosts two live music events this weekend, the Blues & Seafood festival in Ilwaco and Jazz & Oysters in Ocean Park

Summer is here, and it’s time to engage in two of the season’s most popular pastimes. What are they? Here’s a hint. Picture this: You’re outdoors in the warm sunshine with blue skies overhead, groovin’ to the sounds of top-notch artists playing live music. Add to the mix the chance to titillate your taste buds with some of the region’s best seafood, along with a bevy of alternative food and beverage options. Voila! You’ve got the makings of one heckuva good time. This and more can all be yours over the weekend of Aug. 17 through 19 at two separate events that will take place on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula. They are Blues and Seafood Friday and Saturday, Aug. 17 and 18 in Ilwaco, and Jazz and Oysters in Ocean Park Sunday, Aug. 19.

Blues & Seafood This year’s Blues and Seafood event, at Ilwaco’s charming waterfront, promises to be the best one yet. Be advised, though, that while there will be beautiful scenery, tantalizing food and cooling beverages to be enjoyed in the convivial company of friends and family, this event is basically about the music. That said, things musical kick off at 7 p.m. with a Friday Night All Star Jam, bringing back the popular Coyote Kings and the newly configured North Coast Blues Band (NCBB) who’ll play until about 10 p.m. Saturday’s blues offerings will be from 3:30 to 10 p.m. The lineup will include The Strange Tones, Boogie Bone, The Norman Sylvester Band and The Heartbreakers. Brief descriptions of the performers appearing at this twoday musical extravaganza follow.

The North Coast Blues Band Sax player for Boogie Bone who will be playing at the Blues and Seafood

The NCBB is the Long Beach Peninsula/North Oregon Coast’s premier blues band. Featuring guitarist Richard Thomasian and bassist Dan Golden (from the Swing Cats) and drummer and sometime guitar player Clint Carter (from the band Buoy 10), the group plays blues, funk and rock ’n roll. Guest musicians frequently sit in on their sessions, so expect some surprises.

The Coyote Kings The Coyote Kings have shared the stage with many of the greats when it comes to playin’ the blues – B.B. King, George Thorogood, Albert Collins, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Elvin Bishop, Roy Rogers, W.C. Clark, Jimmie Vaughan, Alan Haynes, Robert Cray, Charlie Musselwhite, etc. The list goes on and on.

The Strange Tones and the Volcano Vixens One music critic said it well when he wrote this about The Strange Tones, “Rather than plundering the shrines of American music and merely imitating their heroes, these sonic crime fighters have concocted their own secret formula, a one-of-a-kind style they call ‘Crime-A-Billy.’ The band draws upon 12 | August 16, 2012 | coastweekend.com

the rich traditions of blues, rockabilly, surf and R&B, and combines these ingredients with fresh, well-crafted songwriting and dynamic performances.” An added attraction in the form of dancers, the Volcano Vixens will add some great visuals to what’s bound to be a memorable set.

Boogie Bone A crowd favorite, this band’s back by popular demand. From the band’s website we learn, “Ultimately we are a blues rock band, but we have traveled a different path than most bands do. We have played in hard rock, metal, jazz, funk, R&B and soul bands. We have stumbled our way back to our roots, and it feels like home. What we bring to audiences is a high energy, fun-loving style of music that is highlighted by fantastic musicianship. By the end of night you feel like … old friends partying with old friends.”

The Norman Sylvester Band Portland’s original “Northwest Boogie Cat,” has appeared on stage with the likes of B.B. King, Buddy Guy, James Cotton, Junior Wells, Otis Clay, Tower of Power, the Five Blind Boys of Alabama, Peter Frampton and many others. His gotta-get-up-and-dance brand of blues reflects his Southern Baptist roots. Called one of the most engaging showmen around the Northwest, this blues powerhouse is, he says, “totally dedicated to the soul healing force of music.”

The Heartbreakers Headlining will be individual performances by some of the region’s finest female blues vocalists appearing as The Heartbreakers. Lucy Hammond, Rae Gordon, Lady A, Lady Kat True Blue, Maggie Kitson and Mary McPage will thrill you with their takes on the blues – a genre that, historically, has given rise to so many wonderful female blues singers, e.g., Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, and Alberta Hunter to name three. Backing the Heartbreakers will be Henry Gavaldon, Richard Thomasian, Ken Johnson, Skinny Lynn Cook, Doug Smith and Clint Carter. So come get your heart broken; this is one you won’t want to miss.

This year, the Blues and Seafood’s food court has been expanded to feature even more mouth-watering culinary delights from Peninsula seafood providers. They’ll have whipped up batches of smoked clam chowder, tuna tacos, shrimp and cheese melts, crab cakes, pasta with shrimp, fish and chips and barbequed oysters out of Willapa Bay. Mmmmmmm! Other fare will be on offer at Punky’s Phat Dogs & Burgers’ booth. Local microbrews and fine Northwest wine will be available. As an added treat, Ilwaco Merchants Association (IMA) volunteers will be selling shrimp cocktails and desserts. Blues and Seafood is put on every year by the IMA as a fundraiser. It helps pay for its activities during the rest of the year, such a IMA’s After Hours, fireworks displays, Ilwaco’s Slow Drag race and annual Rod Run and Loyalty Days. Last Christmas, it helped pay for the world’s tallest Christmas tree made entirely of crab pots. New this year, the IMA is partnering with the Adrift Hotel in Long Beach Wash. The hotel has put together a package deal that includes a room at the hotel, tickets to music performances and exclusive access to an after-hours party. To make your reservations: call 360) 642-2311, send an email to reservations@adrifthotel.com or visit www.adrifthotel.com

Jazz & Oysters Creating a contrasting, but no-less compelling musical mood, Jazz and Oysters will transform Wilson Field at 25815 Sandridge Road in Ocean Park (just up the road from beautiful, historic Nahcotta) into a veritable outdoor jazz club from noon to 7 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19. It will feature a stellar lineup of performers, including:

Jessie Marquez One of the top Latin jazz vocalists in the business, Marquez blends Cuban, Brazilian, jazz and pop sounds. The result is music which has attracted discerning jazz fans with its lush harmonies and cool grooves. Early in her career, she recorded with the Afro Cuban Allstars in Havana. The Jessie Marquez Ensemble includes Clay Giberson (piano), Mark Schneider (bass), Charlie Doggett (drums) and John Nastos (saxophone).

MUSIC SCHEDULE Friday Night All Star Jam: 6 p.m.: Doors Open 7 p.m.: The Coyote Kings 8:30 p.m.: North Coast Blues and Special All Star Jam guests

Jovino Santos Neto Three-time Latin Grammy nominee Jovino Santos Neto is a master pianist, composer and arranger who occupies a prominent place among the top Brazilian musicians working today. His music reflects “a creative blend of energetic grooves, deep harmonies, telepathic improvisation, lyrical melodies and great ensemble playing, always inspired and informed by the colorful richness of Brazilian music,” according to online sources. His Quinteto includes Chuck Deardorf (bass), Mark Ivester (drums), Jeff Busch (percussion) and Ben Thomas (vibraphone and bandoneon).

North Coast Blues Band members are from left, Henry Gavaldon, bass; Clint Carter, drums, guitar, vocals; Patrick Lines, harmonica; and Richard Thomasian, guitar and vocals.

TICKETS Blues and Seafood Friday, Aug. 17, in Ilwaco, $10 Saturday, Aug. 18, in Ilwaco, $20 Combo Ticket, which includes Saturday only at Blues and Seafood in Ilwaco and all day Sunday at Jazz and Oysters in Ocean Park, $35

The 1st Thursday Jazz Band This engaging ensemble plays a surprising mix of traditional jazz, swing and blues. Band leader and pianist Ray Skjelbred organized his first group, The Great Excelsior Jazz Band, many years ago. He’s joined by Steve Wright (clarinet, cornet and saxes), Dave Brown (bass) and Mike Daugherty (drums and vocals). The group has a standing gig at Seattle’s New Orleans Creole Restaurant on – you guessed it – Thursdays. An all volunteer-run event, Jazz and Oysters raises funds for the Water Music Festival held annually on the Peninsula. “It pays for our fall concert and helps keeps ticket prices down, said Jazz and Oysters coordinator Diana Thompson. Oysters are being donated by Taylor Shellfish, and there’ll be plenty of other good things to eat: fresh salads with lettuce from local farms, sausages, bread, cheese and a fruit plate will be available. Some folks will undoubtedly welcome the veggie burger and gluten-free options. On the more sinfully indulgent side, local restaurants – 42nd Street Café, The Depot, the Bridgewater Bistro and The Shelburne Inn – will provide a choice of scrumptious desserts. So, here’s your chance to feed your soul with some great music while celebrating nature’s abundant bounty – the mouth-watering fruits of the sea. It’s events such as these that make living at the Long Beach Peninsula and the North Coast so special. Miss it if you dare! 14 | August 16, 2012 | coastweekend.com

Stephannie McCann is jamming – she has just passed the pack and is preparing to score.

Stephannie McCann at home without the armor and the attitude – with daughter Callie.

These Dolls are tough I

never understood how Superman could fool a sharp reporter like Lois Lane by putting on a suit and glasses. Now I get it. Not long ago there was a fundraiser for Astoria’s Roller Derby team, the Shanghaied Roller Dolls. (You didn’t know we have a team of our own? Read on.) It was held at the Voodoo Room on an Art Walk Saturday night, and so I wasn’t unduly surprised when I saw two women in 1970s-style extreme costumes heading that way. The blonde’s wild hair stood out in all directions and I couldn’t help but notice that her neckline plunged. The man with her said, “Don’t you recognize her?” I recognized him, all right, and only by exercising my Holmesian powers of deduction did I understand that the blonde was his wife, Stephannie McCann, known in the alternate real-

ity of Roller Derby as “Threader.” Even with a helmet instead of wild hair, not to mention tights, body armor and skates, it’s hard to recognize the mild-mannered mother of three who is a deacon in my church. When I spoke with her she was baking pies, but the previous afternoon I had seen her blocking, hip checking and jamming her way around an oval Roller Derby track. Like Jim Croce sang, “Don’t tug on Super-

man’s cape,” and don’t mess with Threader, or Kiss me Dreadly, or Moxie by Proxy, or Mrs. Spank, or Petulant Frenzy or any of her other teammates. McCann heard about the Shanghaied Roller Dolls from a friend, who heard about it at a La Leche League meeting. “What better place to recruit women?” she asks rhetorically. “I sat in on a practice and the next day I bought all of my equipment.”

She hadn’t skated since skate nights when she was a middle schooler, but “I wanted to see if it was fun.” She had also recently given birth to daughter Callie. “I’d had no hard physical activity since high school soccer, and I wanted to get in shape.” She discovered that Roller Derby is exactly what it looks like – “a tough sport” – and something more as well. “I want to be as tough as I can be,” she said, “and who doesn’t want to dress up like that? It’s an adult lady’s excuse to play dressup. And what better way to vent the day’s frustrations than knocking around a few women, or getting knocked around yourself? And it’s just plain flat-out fun.” McCann earned the moniker “Threader” Continued on Page 16

because of the way she threads through the pack, and because she sews. Everyone takes turns jamming (scoring) and blocking, but McCann considers herself better at jamming. “I was overthinking my jams,” she says. “Should I go fast, or should I juke and fake them out? While I was thinking, I bought them enough time to get me. Now we’re all getting better at judging the situation ahead of us.” Roller Derby seems chaotic at first, but as Friedrich Nietzsche said (or was it Mel Brooks?), “Out of chaos comes order.” There are rules (see sidebar) and penalties for a variety of infractions, such as back blocking, low blocking, out of bounds and insubordination, which according to McCann means, “You can get in trouble for your mouth.” Most penalties result in a minute in the penalty box. Being a Shanghaied Doll calls for a high level of commitment. First you have to become a good enough skater to qualify for the team, and then it’s practice three nights a week. When McCann took her minimum skills test to qualify, she caught her skate on that of another skater and fell, cutting her chin. “I had so much adrenalin,” she said, “that I skated almost a full lap before I noticed there was blood on the track.”

Roller rules Roller Derby looks exciting, but how does it work? It may occasionally look like football or hockey, with all the blocking and physical action, but it is more like a bicycle race with leaders and a peloton. There is a pack consisting of two teams, each with three “blockers” led by a “pivot,” who sets the pace. The whistle blows and the pack takes off. The jammers, one per team, are behind the pack. When the whistle blows again, they take off, and must lap the entire pack, overcoming the vigorous countermeasures of the opposing blockers while being assisted by their own blockers. Once the jammers have passed the entire pack, they earn a point for every opposing skater they pass. The “jam,” during which points may be scored, lasts two minutes; then the process begins all over again. Roller Derby skaters find themselves simultaneously playing offense and defense as they skate around the track. Each game consists of two 30minute halves, with as many two-minute jams as will fit into the time frame.

A teammate taped it up and McCann finished her qualification before going to the ER, where she received stitches.

Dolls debut The Shanghaied Roller Dolls make their first public appearance at 5 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds, with a politically themed “Inaugural Brawl”between the “TEAse Party”and the “ProhiBITCH’n Party.” Players on both teams will be members of the Shanghaied Roller Dolls. The intent, according to McCann, “is to show how far we’ve come in the past nine months,” and to prepare to scrimmage with another team in the near future. Admission is $10; children younger than are 10 admitted free. Tickets are available at Brown Paper Tickets. http://www.brownpapertickets.com/ event/259473, and at the door. You can follow Astoria’s own Roller Dolls at http://www.shanghaiedrollerdolls.com

“We’re not there to look cute,” said McCann, “Every one of us is pretty darn competitive, and we don’t like to lose.”

Film/Music Showcase

Rock show offers geodes, gems, gold and more SEASIDE – The Seaside Gem, Mineral, Jewelry and Fossil Show will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Aug. 17 and 18, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 19, at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center, 415 First Ave. Admission is free and the center is wheelchair accessible. A free strand of beads will be given to the first 75 women entering daily. A drawing will be held at 3 p.m. Sunday for a malachite pyramid. Tickets are $1 each or six for $5. The show has been expanded this year to bring a wider selection of treasures for collectors or unique gift items. Included in the show are beads, crystals, fossils, minerals, rough rock, polished specimens and 14-karat gold and sterling silver gemstone jewelry, as well as Oregon’s state rock, the geode (aka thunder-egg) and state gemstone, the Oregon sunstone. Geodes are found worldwide in sedimentary rocks such as limestone and volcanic rocks, usually basaltic lava, which is abundant in the Northwest. Unassuming round or odd-shaped rocks on the outside, they are filled with microcrystalline quartz such as agate or a cavity lined with quartz crystals, which may be amethyst. Various other minerals have been found in geodes, but quartz is the most common. Sunstone is a translucent or transparent feldspar found in various locations in the United States, Scandinavia and Siberia. The state gemstone, Oregon sunstone is the only variety that contains inclusions of copper crystals, which give it distinctive color variations.

KALA@HIPFiSHmonthly Music, comedy and all around fun on stage ASTORIA – Join emcee and vocalist Dinah Urell for KALA CAFÉ, a night of music and comedy performance. Featured acts include performance poet/humorist Jon Kulm and hiphop funsters Showladies, who are Teresa Barnes and Andrea Mazzarella. Along with pianist Peter Unander, these acts take the stage for two performances, Friday, Aug. 17, and Saturday, Aug. 18, at KALA. The late-night cabaret-style show begins at 9 p.m.; doors open at 8:30 p.m. The night features a no-host bar and partial cabaret table seating (on first come basis). Tickets are $10. Advance tickets are available at www.brownpapertickets.com (search KALA CAFÉ, $1.35 service charge). Ticket availability at the door will be limited and advance tickets are suggested. KALA is the ground floor presentation space of HIPFiSHmonthly, located at 1017 Marine Drive. For more information, call 503338-4878 or visit www.hipfishmonthly.com Both acts have a demonstrated taste for the eclectic: Showladies rap about a constellation of topics from wolves and wizarding to clubhopping, while Kulm waxes poetic on Jungian archetypes, midlife crises and bucolic life.

Kulm is well known for his open mic stints at the former River Theatre and as a guest host at the annual FisherPoets Gathering, but he’s been working with spoken words in many forms for most of his life. Kulm carved out a niche at poetry slams in Seattle’s heady grunge days two decades back, billing himself as a “cowboy poet” and was booked on tour, in the early days, with the Lollapalooza festival. A well-loved “funny guy” to the region, Kulm will be testing new material in conjunction with a coming book release. Showladies have gained notoriety for their off-the-wall performances, colorful costumes and colorful lyrics. Barnes took her first stabs at songwriting a few years back, and Showladies was born when Mazzarella began performing with Barnes at venues such as the Voodoo Room, with Barnes on guitar and lead vocals and Mazzarella on bass and accompanying vocals. They’d noted a lack of what Barnes calls “rock starry, glammy” musical acts in Astoria. “We wanted to fill more of a lady Gagaish place in town, bringing that element of crazy, fun, ridiculous, danceable performance,” Barnes said. She believes that moving

the audience literally as well as cerebrally is key. Showladies draws inspiration from all over the place, including ‘90s R&B and rap, YouTube videos and rhyming dictionaries. They will also perform two sets at KALA CAFÉ – a high-energy set and a new “folky” set. Could they be the next incarnation of the Smothers Brothers? Have fun finding out. Piano and keyboard man Unander has been providing numerous bands and audiences in the region his funky jazz rock stylings for several decades. Unander provides the stage background music for KALA CAFÉ and backs emcee Urell. Urell, publisher and editor of HIPFiSHmonthly, when not wearing the journalism hat, has performed in numerous regional productions and collaborations in the past decade. Said Urell, “Producing KALA CAFÉ is a creative way to support and honor performing artists in the region. The KALA stage gives focus to the performers while providing a relaxed, fun environment.” Urell hopes to see KALA CAFÉ continue to develop as a fresh and exciting entertainment venue serving the region.
