SCRATCHPAD Better living through philosophy By ERICK BENGEL COAST WEEKEND

arlier this month, I reconnected with Professor Prakash Chenjeri, the chair of Southern Oregon University’s philosophy program who, along with chaplain and author Fred Grewe, led a community talk at the Astoria Library about what makes life meaningful. It’s been nearly 10 years since my last class with Chenjeri, and I told him before the event that although I’d contin-

ued studying undergrad-level philosophy in Portland, I had ultimately gone into journalism. I may have broken the news somewhat ruefully, for there was a time when I gave serious thought to pursuing philosophy as a grad student, when the most important vocation I could imagine involved dismantling dogmas, clarifying concepts and calling bull---- from a lectern. Chenjeri reminded me, though, of something he tells his students: Having a

Whatever career you choose, whatever life you want to live, you benefit from knowing how to unpack ideas, draw distinctions and unearth buried assumptions, and from having the wisdom and humility to recognize when to change your mind. Philosophy, you see, is not simply a body of knowledge but a skill, a practice, an orientation. In my 20s, the philosophy classes I enrolled in

A flavorful Flavel Christmas Plum pudding and tea imitate Victorian-era celebrations

IF YOU GO

By PATRICK WEBB FOR COAST WEEKEND

hristmas comes in a very tasty manner at the Flavel House in Astoria. From Saturday, Dec. 16., through Saturday, Dec. 30, volunteers will serve guests plum pudding and tea. The annual celebration replicates British customs that date back to the Victorian era, which was when Capt. George and Mary Flavel built the most impressive home in Astoria in the 1880s. Curator Chelsea Vaughn has spent hours decorating the Flavel House Museum with evergreen trees dripping with twinkling ornaments to set the atmosphere for two Christmas projects, plum pudding teas and the visit of Santa (see related story). Sam Rascoe is marketing director for the Clatsop County Historical Society,

Plum pudding at the Flavel House is served with lemon sauce, whipped cream and garnished with a cherry and a sprig of holly.

Between 6 and 8 p.m., the jolly fellow will listen to children’s requests for presents (and check if they have been naughty or nice).

Arts Center welcomes bluesman and balladist LONG BEACH, WASH. — Acclaimed blues guitarist and songwriter David Jacobs-Strain will perform at the Peninsula Arts Center 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16. Jacobs-Strain is a fierce slide guitar player and a song poet from Oregon. He’s known for both his virtuosity and spirit of emotional abandon. His live show moves from humorous, subversive blues to delicate balladry, then swings back to swampy rock and roll. It’s a range that ties Jacobs-Strain to his own generation and to guitar-slinger troubadours like Robert Johnson and Jackson Browne. Jacobs-Strain began playing on street corners and at farmers markets as a teenager and bought his first steel guitar with the quarters he saved up. Before dropping out of Stanford to play full-time, he had already appeared at festivals across the country, often billed as a blues prodigy, but he had to fight to avoid being a novelty act: “I wanted to tell new stories; it just wasn’t enough to relive the feelings in other people’s music.” The virtuoso has appeared at festivals from British Columbia to Australia. On the road, he’s shared the stage with Lucinda

ASTORIA — The North Coast Symphonic Band and Liberty Theater Presents will offer a joint celebration of the holiday season 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, at Astoria’s Liberty Theatre. Dave Becker, former director of bands at Lewis and Clark College, is conductor and musical director. Guest vocalists Andy and Rachel Becker of Portland will entertain the audience with good cheer, and the North Coast Chorale, directed by Denise Reed, will perform as well. Doors open at 1:15 p.m. The Astoria Tuba Quartet will offer a concert prelude of holiday tunes at 1:30 p.m. The afternoon’s musical program is themed “Peace on Earth, Goodwill to All” and features wind band and vocal selections to inspire and offer optimistic messages of hope for the holiday season and beyond. Selections include “And the Mountains Echoed: Gloria!” by Robert Longfield, “Chanukah Celebration” by Bobrowitz, and “Noël from ‘Symphonic Sketches’” by Chadwick.

The Beckers are making their third appearance with the Symphonic Band. The couple appeared in the Age of Aquarius concert in 2015 and in the July 2016 performance of American Heroes and was invited back by popular demand. They will sing “Blue Christmas” made popular by Elvis Presley and Céline Dion, “Pa Pa Pa Pa” from the opera The Magic Flute by Mozart, and the classic holiday tune “The Night Before Christmas.” The North Coast Chorale will sing fresh arrangements of classic carols by Maurice Lauridsen and John Rutter. The Symphonic Band, Chorale and the Beckers will join forces for the grand finale sing-a-long, “Merry Christmas, Everyone.” The Astoria Tuba Quartet consists of four fun guys: Dennis Hale, Lee Stromquist, Bob Joiner and Brian Bergman. The quartet’s lush warm sounds, blended from tubas and tenor tubas will surprise most audiences expecting brash, brassy, bombastic sounds. The quartet is known local-

ly for its holiday program, “A Tuba Christmas,” presented annually at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Washington. Tickets are available at the Liberty Theatre Box Office (1203 Commercial St.) 2 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and two hours before the performance. Regular admission is $20. Student tickets for those 18 and under are $5. For more information on tickets, visit libertyastoria.org. For more information on the North Coast Symphonic Band, visit northcoastsymphonicband.org, find the Symphonic Band on Facebook or call 503-3252431.

Interested musicians should contact Personnel Director Lee Stromquist at encore1@ charter.net or 503-861-1328.

Hounds bay at Fort George Dec. 17 ASTORIA — Seattle band Hounds of the Wild Hunt will perform at Fort George Brewery 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17. There is no cover for this all-ages show. The band has been throwing around their sweaty brand of garage rock in one iteration or another for quite a while now. Starting off as The Whore Moans in the mid 2000s, they released two full-length records and toured the country multiple times, earning rave reviews from coast to coast for their

high-energy shows and earnest rock ‘n’ roll anthems, including a write-up in Rolling Stone and an appearance at CMJ in New York and SXSW in Austin. Then, after hundreds of shows and countless miles on the road, the boys decided to tear everything down and start from scratch. And so Hounds of the Wild Hunt was born. Pumping out an EP and full-length in rapid succession, the band proved

that their music wasn’t just confined to the dingy bars and clubs where they cut their teeth, opening for such acts as Biffy Clyro, The Detroit Cobras and Titus Andronicus, along with a host of others. Line-up changes have quieted the group down for a short interval, but they’re on track for a busy 2018, with a new record ready to be recorded and a handful of Seattle dates in the works.

HRAP jewelry line turns trash into treasure CANNON BEACH — The Haystack Rock Awareness Program has created a wearable art jewelry line, crafted from marine debris, named “Trash Talk,” meant to support the program and spark conversations that lead to more environmental stewardship. Frequently, people ask how they can assist the program’s efforts beyond volunteering or donating financially. This new project is a way for anybody to support HRAP on their own time. Nearly every beach in the world has microplastic landfall. Participants in this project are invited to collect microplastics (small plastic trash that washes up on our beaches) and donate it to our program to be repurposed into jewelry.

LISA HABECKER PHOTOS

This jewelry line — wearable art fashioned from marine debris — supports the Haystack Rock Awareness Program.

Not into collecting beach debris? Not a problem! We are also accepting donations of old or broken jewelry that will be reused

in these new pieces. Microplastic collections and old, broken jewelry should be placed in a bag or container and left in the garbage bin labeled “Haystack Rock Awareness Program Marine Debris,” located at the back entrance of Cannon Beach City Hall next to the dumpster. In your bag, please include your contact information so we can send you a “thank you” and a small wearable bottle filled with some of the marine debris. One gallon of beach debris is sufficient material to host two to five workshops, make more than 30 pieces of jewelry or one 12-inch by 12-inch art piece. The art and jewelry can now

be purchased online through the Friends of Haystack Rock’s new Etsy shop. Find it at etsy. com/shop/HRAPTrashTalk or by searching “HRAPTrashTalk” at Etsy.com. A selection of specialty pieces is also being sold through the Cannon Beach Art Gallery. The funding received through this project supports HRAP’s ongoing efforts to provide high-quality STEM, STEAM and Citizen Science programs, and to spread awareness to visitors. If you have questions or comments, please contact Pooka Rice, Haystack Rock Awareness Program outreach coordinator, at 503-436-8079 or email lrice@ ci.cannon-beach.or.us.

The sound of success at Liberty ASTORIA — The Liberty Theatre has been awarded two large grants to purchase and install a permanent sound system in the theater. The theater will receive $22,000 by the James F and Marion L Miller Foundation and $15,000 from the Oregon Community Foundation. The Liberty is awaiting decisions from other grantors to fulfill the remaining need of $5,000. The Liberty Theatre currently pays between $1,000 and $1,500 per event to rent an adequate sound system for performances it presents. Those systems often add hours of setup and tear-down time before and after each event, stressing the theater’s small staff. Outside promoters have to rent or bring their own sound system for their shows. This not only greatly

house and provide consistent, optimum experiences for our patrons,” the theater wrote in a release. Engineers have been brought in to model and study the acoustics of the theater and provide assistance in the purchase and installation of the system.

Have you ever thought or said, “This is kind of like Lewis and Clark,” while hiking, canoing or camping? Brenne shares many of his odd adventures that channel the tiniest bit of Lewis and Clark, such as exploring Russia (like John Ledyard, Jefferson’s first candidate to lead the expedition), and Turkey (where the Ionian Greeks began the kind of enlightenment that Jefferson and his personal secretary, Lewis, embodied), and the American West, including many backpacking adventures. Once Brenne gets

this conversation going, he’ll be asking audience members to share how they’ve “channeled their inner Lewis and Clark.” Brenne is a mountain climber, world traveler, tour guide, freelance writer and award-winning screenwriter whose works have been produced by the Discovery Channel, HBO and Warner Brothers. He also produces and moderates panel discussions and town meetings about human impacts on the earth. In Their Footsteps is a monthly Sunday forum sponsored by the park and Lewis & Clark National Park Association. These free programs are held in the Netul River Room of Fort Clatsop’s visitor center.

MERRYMAKING MANIACS

Carruthers Holiday Bazaar goes down Dec. 17 and 18 By LAURA CHERAU FOR COAST WEEKEND

’T

is the season for bustling and grinch-ing, baking and wrapping and all manner of merrymaking. It’s a busy time of year. So when I see people doing “extra” in December, I’m amazed … more amazed if that person has at least one child — super-amazed if the task requires an organizational feat. Misty Czillinger, a six-year Astoria resident, is organizing Carruthers Holiday Bazaar, held at the restaurant 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, and 3 to 9 p.m. Monday, Dec. 18. Live music will be provided by Daric Moore and his trio, as well as Joshua Esterline’s dark acoustic rock from Southern Oregon known as “Acousta Noir.” Music starts 2 p.m. Sunday. The Carruthers bar will be open, and cocktails will be available for purchase both days. My first question for Czillinger: What on earth possessed her to organize a twoday holiday bazaar during the most nutso time of the year? “I’m a maniac,” she said.

Dennis Thomas’ Elk six-pack

You may know Czillinger if you’ve ever eaten at Astoria Coffee House & Bistro or shopped at Cargo. “These two chicks I know used to do little craft fairs in Portland out of their houses, and there’d be live music and a potluck and tables were cheap,” Czillinger remembered. These women’s efforts snowballed into “Crafty Wonderland,” a biannual arts-and-crafts fair at the Oregon Convention Center. Czillinger decided to organize the Carruthers bazaar, she said, because “I wanted to be inspired to make things.” Continued on Page 15

Admission to Encore Dance Studio’s Dec. 15 Toy Drive is unopened gifts for Toys for Tots By KATHERINE LACAZE FOR COAST WEEKEND

ncore Dance Studio’s annual Toy Drive and Holiday Showcase, taking place in Seaside on Friday, Dec. 15, is lovable for numerous reasons. Not only does it merge the magic of the holiday season with the enchantment of dance, but, at its heart, the recital is about “kids helping kids,” Assistant Director Tia Van Slyke said. The talent of about 200 dancers, 2-year-

olds to teens, will be on display as they perform an hour-long production of holiday-themed dance routines at the Seaside Civic & Convention Center. In lieu of admission, the studio requests attendees bring new unopened toys, which will be donated to the local Toys for Tots chapter to distribute to children and families in Clatsop County. “It gets everyone in the mood for the holiday season a couple weeks ahead of time,” said Van Slyke, who joined the studio in 2005. “The kids really feel good about the literal mountain of toys they see

when they walk in, right before they go on stage. They have a buzz of excitement about it … It’s enjoyable for everyone, it’s a great outcome for the charity.” The recital will showcase an array of genres, including ballet, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, musical theater and tap. Even the instructors will jump onstage for a number, and one group will perform a cheerleading/hip hop mash-up they did during the pre-game show for a Portland Trail Blazers game in November. Only the tumblers will not perform at the recital.

IF YOU GO WHAT: Encore Dance Studio’s Toy Drive and Holiday Showcase WHEN: 6:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15. Doors 6 p.m. WHERE: Seaside Civic & Convention Center (415 First Ave., Seaside, Ore. 97138)

In preparation

This year is the third for the Toy Drive and Holiday Showcase. The concept was born “kind of by accident” while staff was brainstorming how to get more involved in serving the community, according to Van Slyke. “When we came up with this idea of gathering toys at the door we were like, ‘Well, that’s it. It’s perfect,’” she said. “We thought it would be neat for the kids to go onstage, perform and help out other local kids in the community by collecting toys for them.” For the past two years, the studio has collected hundreds of toys — from stuffed animals and dolls to art supplies and video games — that gradually build into a large pile in the entrance as attendees arrive for the show. Instructors remind the young performers that the donated bounty is due to their initiative and participation. “They really feel accomplished, that they’ve done something and helped,” Van Slyke said. Michelle Lee, the performing arts preschool teacher and mother of two 9-yearold performers, said she’s moved by “seeing all the hundreds of toys the community is willing to go out and purchase and bring and share.” “They just do it so lovingly,” she said. Students start rehearsing the holiday routines — 19 in all — in October, perfecting the dances up until performance week. In general, the pieces carry over from year to year, with the same age groups or skill levels performing them. “The kids are excited because they get to sort of level up into the next routine that they watched the big kids do the last year,” Van Slyke said.

On the road

Encore has long cultivated a tradition of spreading holiday cheer with seasonal performances. For the past 20 years, groups of students have spent several days around Christmas traveling to retirement and assisted-living facilities in Clatsop County. Encore’s owner and executive director Denele Sweet grew up doing the same with her studio, and she wanted to offer this opportunity to her students, according to Van Slyke. This year was no different. In the four days leading up to the recital, instead of classes, the students are taking their show on the road, conducting mini performances with selected routines and promoting the holiday spirit. Students who take classes in Warrenton go to the facilities in Astoria and Warrenton, while the Gearhart classes go to South County facilities. Residents at the homes are eager for the performances, Van Slyke said. When the room fills with them, the young performers and their parents or guardians, “it’s a big holiday party, for sure,” she said. She is an avid proponent of dance as a practice and art form. “It lifts your spirits,” she said. “It’s a natural boost for your endorphins. It makes for a happy people, and happy people make for a good community.” At the recital, doors open at 6 p.m. and the performance starts at 6:30 p.m. The show is open seating, and the past two years have been standing room only; attendees are encouraged to arrive early.

Surfcrest Pizza unafraid of gluttonous ecstasy Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

FACEBOOK.COM/MOUTHOFTHECOLUMBIA

mong aisles stacked with chips, soda and snacks, a scent of pizza arises from the rear of Surfcrest Market. The smell of rising dough, however, is not exactly new at the Tolovana general store. For years the shoebox-sized kitchen was the domain of chef Jonathan Hoffman, home to his wholesale bakery, Dough Dough. In the summer of 2015, Hoffman hosted a weekly pizza pop-up. For help with pies, he hired Brad “Biggie” Hendricks. Earlier this year, Hoffman — a three-time winner of the Iron Chef Goes Coastal competition — outgrew the Surfcrest. (He moved Dough Dough Bakery to Seaside this summer and added a weekend wine bar in October, whose ever-rotating slate of small plates is wonderfully inspired.) Having worked the pop-up, Biggie saw potential for pizza permanence in the Surfcrest kitchen. And he was familiar with the oven, which he says affords the pies a singular character. “It’s seasoned like a cast-iron pan,” Biggie said. But let’s be clear: Biggie is not making Hoffman’s pies. The two employ substantially different ingredients, techniques and philosophies. Where Hoffman is reaching, refined and uncompromising, Biggie is an unabashed lover of good ol’ cheese-stacked, meaty pies. Now, as we’ve seen recently

Caesar salad

The Whole Hog (left half ) and Maui (right half )

with Seaside’s Avenue Q Pizza (see Coast Weekend’s Oct. 12 review), pizza-making can be more than a trade, but a way of life. Like Avenue Q, Surfcrest Pizza has been run by one man: Biggie. He says he’s worked seven-days-a-week for more than 120-straight-days. Besides cooking the pies, Biggie’s also delivering them. He’s even met folks on the beach for delivery. (Recently he hired his first employee, though Biggie has yet to take a day off.) But where Avenue Q’s Matt Kaffer — aka “the one-man pizzeria” — is monk-like in his minimalism, Biggie is a cheeky, junk food-loving maximalist. (His ever-jovial, goofy presence breathes life into an otherwise drab dining space.) Besides a steady diet of schlocky, self-effacing puns,

Biggie’s daily specials approach — nay, covet — absurdism. Among his junk-food-mad-scientist creations: a crust made of ground-up Doritos, dough infused with bacon fat, and a biscuits-and-gravy pizza, just to name a few. These whimsical specials come and go as goofy inspirations tend to — by the seat of their pants. And as they’re just as much for giggles as for public consumption, I stuck generally to items on the regular menu for this review. Biggie’s pies have a few other defining features besides the vintage oven: The crust is soft and medium thin; the sauce, light on spices and unsweetened, is made from roasting then food-processing onions, peppers and tomatoes, which gives it some depth; besides salami and pepperoni, the red meats are ground in-house.

As a result, I found the sausage more perky and vibrant than usual. Surfcrest’s hand-tossed pies come in a single size: reasonably large. They start at $18 and top out at $23, with slices ranging from $3 to $4. Reasonable prices all in all, especially for Cannon Beach. The Maui ($19), with ham, bacon and pineapple, found synergy amongst the salty, fatty and sweet. The Spicy Pulled Pork ($23), with black beans, jalapeños, red onions, pulled pork and finished with cold shreds of romaine and diced tomatoes, resembled a taco pizza with more supple meat. The Prawndue ($23), with a fondue cheese sauce, chives, prawns, garlic and diced tomatoes, had a more fixed, less viscous cheese than the namesake goo. The Whole Hog ($23), with bacon, sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms and onion, was as stacked with cheese as it was with meat. Altogether it was incredibly greasy, enough to necessitate soaking some up with napkins. Indeed, sometimes Surfcrest pizzas can be overwhelmed, lousy with grease.

 Poor  Below average  Worth returning  Very good  Excellent, best in region

To put it another way: They’re not skimping on the good stuff, wholly unafraid to veer towards a cliff of gluttonous ecstasy. Biggie’s absolutely capable of making lean, more wholesome pies. A special with chèvre, a mild pesto sauce, tomatoes and onions was as scrumptious as it was reasonable. There are a few sides: salads, bread sticks, spaghetti and mac and cheese. I had a Caesar ($7.50), with croutons baked to order. It was puckeringly over-salted, with forgettable dressing. While the sides might act as worthy additions to a party spread, I felt like sticking to the pizza. At times Biggie’s pies were irresistible. At others, they were simply good, and occasionally a little floppy. Consistency could improve. Nevertheless, Surfcrest Pizza not only fills the hole left by Hoffman’s graduation from the Market’s tiny kitchen, it’s a much-needed addition to the growing neighborhood. CW

That’s right: She took on all of this extra work to force herself, by means of a twisted holiday timecrunch, to be creative — and it worked. She makes beautiful things. Czillinger has made hats and scarves out of felted wool. “I take old sweaters and boil them down and make other things,” she said. This is her third year organizing and participating in the bazaar. For its first year, the event was held at Albatross & Co. Since then, it has been held at Carruthers. Last year the festival was called “Dark Hearts,” and she made batik vintage lingerie and more woolen items. Asked what she was making this year, Czillinger flashed a mischievous, knowing smile. “I don’t know,” she said, “whatever strikes my fancy 24 hours before!”

Thriving under pressure

As it turns out, this pressure-cooker method works for others. Becky Tonkin, who has a degree in apparel design, had been doing alterations and the like for friends for years, but when she was invited to do the first bazaar at Albatross & Co., “I kicked into gear,” she said. “I sort of threw a bunch of stuff out there and watched to see what would stick,” Tonkin said. She now has her own business, Shift — a line of aprons and garments made for creative work and everyday wear — which has evolved over three years and is now “more than a full-time job.” Her bestselling design, the suspender dress, was born of her desire to “wear an apron for work and not have to change clothes afterward to go out in the world.”

Like Crafty Wonderland, Czillinger’s event has also grown this year with about 30 artists and makers showcasing their goods. Here’s just a sampling of some of the other creative maniacs who will be taking part in this event: • Votive Designs — mind-boggling modern jewelry by Lucy Barna, inspired by the heady “sacred geometry” of Fibonacci and Plato’s “Timaeus.” Barna makes her jewelry by hand, including chains and posts, slowly and with attention to detail. • Dennis Thomas, of Thomas and Son Woodworks, offering beautiful cutting blocks, salt cellars, vases and more. • Judith Altruda, a Tokeland, Washington, artist selling handmade jewelry made from gemstones and

ancient coins. Also embellished belts and hair jewelry. • Nicholas Wheeler, owner of Wheeler Bag Co., bringing his handmade and vintage-inspired waxed canvas and leather handbags. • Sarah Landwehr, who creates hand-pulled prints, paintings and cards. Her work is rich with pattern, intricate line-work and bold colors, with imagery focusing on the natural world and the faces of the Pacific Northwest. • Eric Fitzpatrick’s photography, depicting a broad range of styles, from forest and mountain landscapes to animals, to more abstract and surreal long-exposure shots. • Artist Sophia Anderson, selling limited-edition sumi ink prints and cards.

The annual project was one of the many community successes of Rae Goforth, the beloved “mayor of Uniontown,” who served on the society’s board between 1993 and 2000. She took over the plum pudding production from another volunteer many years ago, and she baked them so well that no one else really bothered to find out how. When she died, Rascoe stepped up to the plate. “I wear all sorts of different hats as marketing director,” he smiled. “I get to participate where needed, and I’m not afraid of the kitchen. It was such a tradition for so many people who would have been disappointed if it didn’t continue.”

Pudding ponderings

So last year, Dian Kazlauskas and the other volunteers held their breath as Christmas approached. Strange aromas wafted out of the kitchen in the basement of the adjoining Carriage House as the new cook perfected his pudding. Despite its name, it is absent any plums; in southern

‘IT’S A TRADITION HERE AT THE HOUSE AND GIVES PEOPLE THE FEELING OF THE SEASON.’ — Sam Rascoe, describing Christmas plum pudding at the Flavel House Britain, it’s called Christmas pudding, a name coined by novelist Anthony Trollope in 1858. The main ingredients are raisins, blended into a thick cake mixture with walnuts and breadcrumbs, flavored by cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. This thick mix is spooned into a kettle, sealed with a tight lid and steamed for about three hours. It comes out as a dome-shaped cake and is usually a very dark brown color. “You really have to grease the pot,” Rascoe said. “Then, when it is cool, they pop right out. Otherwise, they stick to the pan and fall apart — and you have a big old mess!” Cutting the slices of this firm concoction requires a sharp knife.

MIDDLE: The Flavel House in Astoria is one of most attractive and distinctive landmarks on the North Coast. It offers two Christmas events, plum pudding teas and a visit from Santa. RIGHT: Sam Rascoe, marketing director at the Clatsop County Historical Society, enjoys a taste test of his plum pudding with lemon sauce, and a cup of tea.

“We add lemon sauce, whipped cream and garnish with a cherry and a sprig of holly for decoration,” he added. There was some nervousness last year. “We were concerned about how the first batches would turn out,” he said. No one need have worried; his dessert passed muster, and will be repeated this year. “He does a fabulous job,” laughed Kazlauskas. “I think Rae would have been proud of him.” Rascoe deflected any praise with his customary modesty, pointing to his substantial slice. “Rae would have scolded me and said I cut them too big,” he smiled, spooning on

some lemon sauce, which adds needed sweetness to each bite. Visitors can take home a flyer that includes this notso-secret recipe as well as some amusing “plum pudding ponderings,” which include its history, quotes from gourmands and many associated superstitions.

A historical dessert

The puddings date back to the 1600s. Traditionally, each member of a family took a turn stirring the mix for good luck or the entire family stirred it together. Sometimes silver charms — like rings, coins, thimbles or buttons — would be tossed into the batter. Legend was that anyone

receiving a ring in their slice was destined to marry within a year. The smallest silver coin, the sixpence, was baked into such desserts as late as the 1970s; British children receiving one in their portion were encouraged to make a wish. Inevitably, naughty boys would horrify their mothers by pretending they had swallowed it. In ages past, cooks would start preparing the Christmas pudding in August, regularly stirring the mix, adding shots of brandy, and covering it with a cheesecloth for cool storage. When it was served, more brandy would be poured over the rounded top and set alight, giving it a burned but flavorful crust. Rascoe said his version is alcohol free so it can be enjoyed by all ages. The 2017 version of plum pudding will be served with

Flavel House Special Blend tea. It’s a Ceylon-Chinese tea carefully blended by Rick Murray, owner of Astoria Coffee Co. Customers who especially like it can buy some more at the gift shop to take home. Kazlauskas volunteers at the Flavel House most Mondays and delights in spending time surrounded by its history. “I am very protective of the house,” said Kazlauskas, who has volunteered for 17 years. “It’s fun — all the people that you meet, working with other volunteers, and meeting visitors from all over the world.”

‘A happy house’

This time of year, groups from businesses come to the Flavel House for their gift exchanges; Portland-area visitors sometimes come dressed in Victorian styles. The house also hosts an annual Mothers Day tea, and caters to cruise ship excursions. Plum pudding and tea will be served daily, starting Saturday, Dec. 16, through Saturday, Dec. 23. After two days off to enable volunteers to spend Sunday and Christmas Day with their families, the teas resume Tuesday, Dec. 26 (aka Boxing Day), and conclude Saturday, Dec. 30. For Rascoe, the extra work at this time of year is all fun, because of the reward. “It’s a tradition here at the house and gives people the feeling of the season,” he said. Kazlauskas agrees. “There’s just something about being here that feels good,” she said. “It’s a happy house.” CW

ILWACO, WASHINGTON — The Community Historian Project is entering its sixth year at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum. The project’s goal is to develop a cohesive group of knowledgeable people who can be called upon for information, and who can become a heritage resource to their communities. We do this by providing participants with unique opportunities to learn local history, through access and exposure to historical experts, topics, sites and research. The deadline to apply for the project is Friday, Dec. 29. The 2018 Community Historian Project will meet 9:30 a.m. to noon each

Wednesday from Jan. 10 through April 18. Each session is made up of expert guest speakers, tours and demonstrations. Participants are encouraged to develop a personal project that can be researched during the course. “This is not a lecture series,” Museum Director Betsy Millard said. “CHP is more of a seminar course, with two-hour interactive presentations. It is designed to enable participants to identify their area of interest and give them the tools that they need to discover answers to their historical questions.” After five years the program has graduated 56 partici-

pants. Forty different experts in their fields have presented to the group, with new lecturers added each year. The program has been cited by the Washington Museum Association for its excellence, and the American Association of State and Local History has included it as a model for their national initiative. For more information and to get an application for the project, contact the museum (115 S.E. Lake St., Ilwaco, Washington) at 360-6423446. Museum hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Admission is free on Thursdays. Visit columbiapacificheriatgemuseum.org.

not because they were suddenly replaced by superior beliefs but because I realized that my reasons for adopting them in the first place were indefensible. The pursuit of truth requires brave, brutal honesty, not just with others — about, for example, the limits of our understanding — but with ourselves. One useful question: How would you know if your most cherished beliefs are wrong? If you can’t answer that question — what the world would look like if your beliefs were falsified — you haven’t given your beliefs enough thought.

‘THE PURSUIT OF TRUTH REQUIRES BRAVE, BRUTAL HONESTY.’ In this spirit of honesty, I had to finally admit to myself I would probably not have been successful as a professional philosopher. (More than one faculty adviser helped me see this.) My aptitudes, I decided, lie elsewhere. Chenjeri and Grewe’s presentation captured what attracted me to philosophy: a need to live in a more honest, introspective world, surrounded by people devoted to the same cause — a need to learn, ask questions, spur public discussion and do my part to make our lot a little easier to understand. I like to think that, by getting into this game, I didn’t fall too far afield. And behind almost every decision I make, at work and in life, is a voice asking: What would a philosopher do? CW

Barkin’ and bickering around the Christmas tree Society is beginning to pay more attention to serving populations with special needs. Movie theaters offer sensory friendly films, and students with special needs have increased access to music therapy, equine therapy and more. In many communities this holiday season, Sensitive Santa is coming to town to greet kids on the autism spectrum. This is a welcome sea change, and author Sue Pethick, of Vancouver, Washington, taps into the phenomenon with her latest work of fiction, “The Dog Who Came for Christmas.” Kieran Richardson is a 9-year-old coping with his parents’ recent divorce. Since moving to a new town with his mom and older siblings, he’s having trouble controlling a raft of behaviors and facial tics that place him on the autism spectrum. His brother and sister don’t have a lot of patience with him,

“The Dog Who Came for Christmas” By Sue Pethick Kensington 316 pp $9.95 and he’s getting bullied by the kids at his new school for being different. Meanwhile, Kieran’s mom Renee, has her hands full, too. She’s trying to support her family by building a clientele in her new job at the local hair salon, but a possible new romantic interest in her life — who happens to be the town’s most eligible bachelor — is inconveniently the former high school sweetheart of Renee’s most influential client. It’s Christmastime, furthermore, and Renee is hosting relatives for the holidays. So she is already stressed out when the school counselor suggests that Kieran enroll

in a new program that assists special needs kids. Renee vacillates. She had been hoping that Kieran was just going through a rough patch due to her divorce. She has to come to grips with the idea that her son’s odd behaviors likely are manifestations of autism. She worries that with this program at school, Kieran might be needlessly medicated, and that he might be singled out and stigmatized. (She is unaware that her son is already being bullied.) The complications multiply. A hometown clique of gossips isn’t about to let Renee be the one to end up with the town’s “Mr. Right.” And Kieran befriends a large, extraordinary dog. Pethick has developed an involving story line. She looks at the barriers and opportunities for people on the autism spectrum — and how family members come to terms with their loved one’s condition. She writes about the demands of being a pink-collar worker. She captures what it’s like to raise kids in a single-parent family, and looks at how difficult it is for romance to flourish when it has to take a backseat to the day-to-day crises that pop up. The Richardson family members are fully fleshedout characters who are interesting to follow. On the other hand, the townswomen who work in concert to discredit Renee seem to be over-zealous antagonists. “The Dog Who Came for Christmas” is the third in a series of dog-centric romance novels that Pethick has written. This one is the strongest offering yet, thanks to the author’s realistic focus on transformative issues that can either derail romance or become the foundation for love.

ADAIR [Ə•DƐƏR] Proper noun

1. Gen. John Adair: Born into privilege and luxury on Aug. 8, 1808, in Louisville, Kentucky, to John and Catherine Adair, who were one of the most prominent families of the U.S. South. His father, also named Gen. John Adair was the eighth governor of Kentucky and represented the Bluegrass State in both the U.S. House and Senate after having served in the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The junior Adair attended Harvard and went on to study law. In 1848, he accepted the position of collector of customs from President Zachary Taylor, a position it is rumored was first offered to Abraham Lincoln, who turned it down. The large Adair family headed west, crossing the isthmus at Panama to open the first customs office west of the Rockies in Astoria. He eventually bought a plot of land east of J.M. Shively’s claim which became known as “Adair’s Astoria.” 2. Bethenia Owens-Adair: Née Bethenia Owens, Owens-Adair started her education late following a wagon-train migration from Missouri to Astoria with her family. Having relocated to Roseburg, Oregon, she briefly took the last name Hill after being married off to one of her father’s farmhands when she was 14, but reclaimed her maiden name after divorcing in 1859. She finished her education while working as a domestic and milliner to support her son, George. An early suffragist and social reformer, Ow-

ens-Adair fought tooth and nail against discrimination to pursue training as a physician. In 1880 she received her M.D. from the University of Michigan Medical School. She became one of the first female physicians to practice in Oregon after returning to Portland. She married Col. John Adair, Jr., a WestPoint graduate and salmon canner and was briefly the daughterin-law of Gen. John Adair. The couple relocated to Astoria where Owens-Adair continued to practice medicine. That marriage also ended in divorce in 1907. She died in Astoria in 1926. 3. Owens-Adair Apartments: A 46-unit Section 8 Senior and Disabled housing building at 1508 Exchange St. in downtown Astoria. Formerly the site of old St. Mary’s Hospital, the subsidized housing units were developed in 1980 following the creation of the Clatsop County Housing Authority that same year.

Origin:

A Scottish variant of the Anglo-Saxon given name Eadgar, or Edgar, which is a combination of the Old English, ead, meaning “rich or prosperous,” and gar, meaning “spear.” In Scotland and Ireland, where it is most commonly traced, Adair is a surname. The Adair family crest prominently features a severed head.

“When Col. John Adair, the first collector of customs, arrived at Astoria he occupied the McClure house and tried to secure land from

the different owners of the town on which to build the customhouse. The owners refused to donate the land and fixed the price at a figure which Colonel Adair considered too high. The results of this disagreement was the establishing of the United States customhouse at Upper Astoria and the beginnings of the rivalry between the upper and lower towns, which lasted for many years, and led to the building up of two towns mutually jealous of each other yet having every interest in common.” —Alfred A. Cleveland, “Social and Economic History of Astoria,” The Quarterly of the Oregon Historical Society, Vol. 4, No. 2, June 1903, p. 134 “Throughout her career [Bethenia] Owens-Adair was active in many social movements. She coordinated a visit and lecture of suffragist Susan B. Anthony to Roseburg in 1871. Additionally, believing that insanity and criminal action were hereditary, she argued for mandatory sterilization of the criminally insane. Her book on the subject, Human Sterilization: It’s [sic] Social and Legislative Aspects (1922), was well-received and brought her national recognition. In 1925, the Oregon legislature adopted a sterilization statute that she and other advocates sponsored.” —“Bethenia Owens-Adair (1840-1926),” The Oregon History Project, oregonhistoryproject. org, accessed on Nov. 30, 2017 CW
