Annual Civil War re-enactment returns to Fort Stevens State Park Bill Lund lives on a quiet street in Astoria, but half a lifetime ago he fought as a Marine in Vietnam. His military career has been much lengthier than you might expect, though, spanning 153 years, from Fort Sumter to Fort Stevens. His American Civil War battles have been as a re-enactor, and he will return this weekend to the Civil War and to Fort Stevens State Park, as the Northwest Civil War Council and the Friends of Old Fort Stevens present the largest annuDO &LYLO :DU UH HQDFWPHQW LQ WKH 3DFLÂż F 1RUWKZHVW Why go to a re-enactment? For one thing, living history is just plain fun. It may seem odd to speak of fun in connection with America’s bloodiest war, but the fun is not so much in the Âż JKWLQJ EXW LQ WKH RSSRUWXQLW\ WR EH LP mersed in the past, to have your imagination stimulated. There are both Union and Confederate camps, complete with families, camp followers, and the smells and sights of a bygone era. The re-enactment pays tribute to that era and honors those who found themselves caught up in a terrible struggle. “Most of us do it because we have a sense of history,â€? says Lund, a re-enactor since 1983. “Many of us had relatives who fought in the war – I did. We want to emulate what they did. All of us have the intent to honor the soldier.â€? This year will be Lund’s last as a combatant. At the age of 67, he is “looking for
something less strenuous than hiking and carrying all that equipment and wearing wool in the hot sun.â€? You may be asking yourself why he, and all the other re-enactors, wear wool. Because that’s what Civil War soldiers wore, that’s why, and Bill Lund, even more than most re-enactors, is a stickler for detail. None of his Confederate States of America uniforms have “CSAâ€? brass buttons, for example, because none were ever manufactured. All of Lund’s uniforms are handmade, with the number of stitches DQG LQVSHFWLRQ VWDPSV VSHFLÂż HG E\ WKH ZDU GHSDUW ments of the time. He has a shirt identical to the surplus shirts bought by the Confederacy from the British Army. The wool and dies used in his uniforms are not those of today, but are made exactly as they were in the 1860s. “It’s fascinating,â€? says Lund, “the type of clothes they wore.â€? Lund, looking for a new “impression,â€? has decided to become a civilian war correspondent and sketch artist. It was through these reporters (who called themselves the “Bohemian Brigadeâ€?) that most people received news of the war, and Lund is now researching civilian attire. Much of the clothing VROGLHUV ZRUH ZDV PRGLÂż HG FLYLOLDQ JDUE VR KH ZLOO be able to re-purpose much of what he already has. He has a non-army-issue hat, for example, like an RIÂż FHU ZRXOG KDYH SXUFKDVHG Âł*UDQW ZRUH RQH MXVW like it!â€?), and by removing the gold braid it becomes a civilian hat. Lund is having high boots and a leather satchel custom-made, and of course he will carry a sidearm, just like war correspondents of the day, for protection from deserters and desperados. Lund was at one time something of an artist, and he’s working to get his chops back. By this time next year he will be as authentic a war correspondent as possible. The battles fought at Fort Stevens are planned with the strategies used by the armies of the day, and like the real thing, neither you nor the soldiers on the

Fort George to host Americana musician

Feel the gravitational pull of home with Sera Cahoone
ASTORIA — Maven and veteran of the Seattle music scene, Sera Cahoone will come to the Fort George Brewery for a performance at 8 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 1 to welcome the fall season. Cahoone is a long way from home. Growing up the daughter of a dynamite salesman in the Colorado foothills, she got her start on the drums at age 11, and at age 12 her mom was taking her to dive bars to sit in with the scruffy old bluesmen. By the time Cahoone picked up a guitar, she had been so shaped by these things – the dynamite, the blues, the woods and the hills – it’s no surprise she went on to be one of the strongest songwriters in Seattle’s ever-vibrant Americana scene. Since migrating to Seattle in 1998, she has played with Carissa’s Wierd, Band of Horses, Betsy Olson and singer-songwriter Patrick Park.
She released her solo debut album in 2006 and her widely acclaimed Sub Pop Records’ debut “Only as the Day Is Long� in 2008. Cahoone’s newest album on Sub Pop Records, “Deer Creek Canyon,� brings to mind the same folk undertones as her contemporaries and sees her ruminating on the gravitational pull of home. Titled for the Colorado canyon where she came of age, “Deer Creek Canyon� delves deeper and sees her voice remarkably stronger than on Cahoone’s past albums. Where her previous efforts explored the complicated throes of dark emotions, this album is more richly focused. Home is even present in the more personal songs struggling with various facets of love and friendship (“Worry All Your Life�, “Shakin’ Hands�).
Cannon Beach Chorus to start New members welcome to join the fun
CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Chorus is beginning rehearsals for its new season starting at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 9 at the Community Church in Cannon Beach. Plan to arrive early in order WR ÂżOO RXW LQIRUPDWLRQ VKHHWV and pay your $35 membership fee. The rehearsal will begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. This season the chorus is celebrating 25 years of bringing music to the North Coast and joy to its members. As chorus director John Buehler likes to point out, “We don’t sing because we’re happy; we’re happy because we sing.â€? The Cannon Beach Chorus would like to encourage all who have an interest in becoming part of the group to attend. There are no auditions.
All that the chorus requires is a desire to sing to the best of your ability and the willingness to devote two hours to rehearsal every Monday at 6:30 p.m. The chorus’ Winter Concert in December will feature favorites from Christmas past. The chorus has performed many of the chosen works before, and members have asked to do them again. The chorus will also have some special guests who have sung with it in the past. The Spring Concert in May 2014 will feature a brand-new, never-performed-before choral work that was commissioned by the chorus to help celebrate its 25th anniversary.

oth hemp and tattooing have ancient roots and rich cultural histories. In the modern era, people have often associated hemp exclusively with marijuana and considered tattoos to be the strict purview of sailors, bikers and rough-and-tumble types. Cultural views have evolved over the past several decades, opening people to new ideas. Now considered an equal opportunity art form, even soccer moms and CEOs indulge in tattoos, and hemp is being recognized for its medicinal value and widely varied industrial and ecological applications.
The value of hemp
Hemp has been cultivated for more than 12,000 years by many civilizations. In China, it was used to make clothing, rope, shoes and a rudimentary form of paper. Christopher Columbus’ journey to the New World was helped in part by the hemp ropes and sails on his ships. In fact, the word “canvasâ€? originates from the Latin “canQDELV ´ 7KH 3XULWDQV ÂżUVW JUHZ WKH SODQW LQ 1HZ (QJODQG in 1645. Because hemp is also used as food, the medicinal and pain-relieving properties of cannabis have been known for thousands of years. Cannabis is considered one of traditional Chinese medicine’s 50 fundamental herbs. Modern hemp differs from cannabis in that it has such low levels of THC it cannot be used as a drug. Industrial uses are rampant and eco-friendly. As a food, hemp oil is a rich source of protein containing all 20 essential amino acids. As an industrial product, hemp is used to make paper, clothing, textiles, biodegradable plastics, Hempcrete (a building material), bio-fuel and personal care products. Harnessing all of hemp’s industrial potential could “put a lot of people back to work,â€? Nick Clark, owner of Nature’s Choice Alternative Medicine in Astoria and the organizer of Port Astordam Hempfest, says. “It’s gonna get fun in the next few years.â€?

According to National Geographic, humans have been tattooing themselves for 5,000 years. The oldest example of tattooing is Ă–tzi, an “Icemanâ€? from the Copper Age.

Uptown CafĂŠ New Warrenton restaurant has yet to match its food to its atmosphere, standard set by owners
I
If you are as old as I am, you can probably still remember when Warrenton had no Fred 0H\HU WKDW WKH VSDFH QRZ Âż OOHG E\ 5RVV ZDV a Thriftway and that what is now Dooger’s used to be a Denny’s. Warrenton has grown and changed tremendously over the last few decades and is now a hub of local commerce – Costco, anyone? Overall, though, Warrenton doesn’t seem to have nearly the number of restaurants that its neighbors Astoria and Seaside seem to have, so I was pleased when I learned that Krista Bingham and David Yuill, owners of the Serendipity Caffe in downtown Warrenton, which I reviewed favorably earlier this year, were opening a second restaurant near Staples in the Warrenton Highlands shopping center. Bingham and Yuill have done an impressive job making what could seem like a very corporate “strip mallâ€? storefront into a sort of cool, urban-industrial hang-out. The ceilings are expansive, creative artwork hangs everywhere, and a cozy couch is prime for lounging while watching local musicians play in the evenings. I began my recent visit with some appetizers. First up, the “crazy hotâ€? chicken wings served with traditional bleu cheese dip. I actually appreciated that the wings ZHUH QRW LQ IDFW LQVDQHO\ VSLF\ DV VSHFLÂż HG EXW VHHPLQJO\ Ă€ DYRUHG ZLWK WKH )UDQNÂśV 5HG +RW VDXFH D FRPPRQ DQG FRPIRUWDEOH choice. The wings were average, nothing outstanding or unusual, but still tasty. Similarly tasty were breaded and fried dill pickle chips, a relatively new culinary craze, which is exactly as it sounds: tangy dill pickle chips, breaded and fried until crisp, and served with peppercorn ranch. I have never sampled these before, at Uptown or anywhere else, but I found them interesting; I don’t know that I would ever order them again, but I can see why they’re popular. I sampled next the turkey Monte Crista, a Panini with turkey, ham, cheddar and
Dijon cranberry sauce, which I sadly found a bit disappointing. Though I cannot speculate as to how the turkey was prepared or sliced, it did not seem to have the taste or texture of turkey that had been freshly prepared and sliced with a deli slicer, which would have been my preference. The Dijon cranberry sauce resembled salad dressing in consistency and was too tangy for my liking, plus the large quantity of it made the sandwich rather messy. Finally, I thought cheddar too assertive a cheese next to WKH RWKHU À DYRUV LQ WKH VDQGZLFK DQG UDWKHU than soft and melted, the consistency was hard and looked as though it had melted but sat long enough for it to congeal.

The Uptown CafÊ has been open for a few months now, and I do believe that all new restaurants deserve ample time to get on their feet. Even in the best circumstances, it can take a restaurant several weeks or even months to get the menu right, to ensure that the food is cooked to a measurable, consistent standard, and to train servers to provide quality service. I have eaten at the Serendipity in Warrenton on many occasions and have always had a good experience, and I like the atmosphere the owners are trying to create in their new space, so I hope that in the coming months they can improve the food to match the standard set by Serendipity.
SERVICE: On both occasions our server was friendly and polite, but food was slow to come out of the kitchen. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: There are a few salads on the lunch menu, plus a black bean burger. DRINKS: Coffee, tea, soft drinks, juices and an impressive selection of beer and wine.

The secret life of Sherlock
Celebrate Labor Day with great live music
Tillamook play delivers untold story
Three bands to play at Adrift Hotel over long weekend
TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts (TAPA) and The Oregon Coast Dance Center are pleased to present the play “Sherlock’s Secret Life,� directed by Robert Buckingham, which opens at The Barn Community Playhouse in Tillamook Friday, Aug. 30, with an opening night champagne reception with a complimentary beverage and appetizers. This Sherlock Holmes isn’t quite the same detective you’ve met in the works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Set as a prequel to Doyle’s writings, “Sherlock’s Secret Life,� written by Ed Lange, (which was originally co-produced by the New York State Theatre Institute and Actors’ Company of Pennsylvania) shows a younger, more vulnerable and idealistic Sherlock Holmes, portrayed by TAPA newcomer Peter Vultaggio, and also portrays a different side to Sherlock’s landlady, Mrs. Hudson, portrayed by Karen Downs. The play also explores the relationship she has with both Sherlock and his partner in crime-solving, Dr.

Astoria-based band Fever Damn is made up of Andrea Mazzarella, left, and Teresa Barnes.
Five Minutes With ...
FEVER DAMN (aka Andrea Mazzarella and Teresa Barnes) Born and raised: Andrea Mazzarella was born and raised in the Astoria area. Teresa Barnes is originally from Florida but moved to Astoria in 2002. Live now: We are both very proud to call Astoria home! What instruments do you play? How long have you played them? Currently Andrea plays the bass, and Teresa is the primary songwriter; we both sing and rap and work together to compose music and beats using the Ableton Live computer program. In past shows, we have employed a variety of instruments, including guitar, keyboard, ukelele, melodica and even kazoo. Tell me how you started Fever Damn. Teresa had been playing some acoustic guitar songs around town and really wanted to start a band. She had originally wanted to have a girl punk duo with Andrea on drums, since
Andrea had formerly been the drummer for the local band The Bouncing Betties. Over time this morphed into the two of us rapping and singing, with drum beats originally supplied by a keyboard. What’s the story behind the band’s name? I’ve heard you’ve gone through a few of them? For the first year or so that we were playing shows we wanted to use all of the different funny band names we had! We felt like once we put out a CD we should have a permanent name, but deciding on one was much harder than we’d thought it would be. We went through probably a hundred options, and at some point Fever Damn just felt right. What kind of music do you play? What influences your music? We don’t really know! Based on what our fans say, we play party rap, or ’90s retro hip-hop ... which totally makes sense, since we both
grew up listening to gangsta rap and lots of greasy ’90s R&B. Our musical influences are all over the place, but we are also just influenced by life: We are equally likely to write a song about a cool dog we met in Costa Rica or a story a friend told us about her trip to Greece. What’s your favorite thing about performing together? We both feel so privileged to be best friends who get to perform together. We have such an understanding of what each other is thinking that being on stage doesn’t feel nearly as scary as it could. We are always having fun, and it seems like the audience can sense that. What’s the best concert you’ve ever played? We probably felt the most love at the Columbian Voodoo Room’s 2011 Halloween rap show. We had only been playing for a few months, but the place was packed, and everyone had their hands in the air and
was screaming our name. We just played our first Portland show, which was awesome since tons of our Astoria crew came out to support us. We are really looking forward to playing a show it the new upstairs addition at the Fort George Brewery this Oct. 12. Where can people hear your music? Our first CD, “Meow Down,� is on Bandcamp.com, and is also for sale at the Mallternative. Our amazingly talented boyfriends (Colin Smith and Tyler Little) have directed three music videos from that album, which can be seen on Fever Damn’s YouTube channel. What is something you like about living on the North Coast? Everything! If we had to narrow it down, though, we’d probably have to say the people. We have both done some traveling and feel like the nicest folks in the world live in Oregon (and especially here, in Astoria.)
