Folk-pop duo give two performances LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Peninsula Arts Center concludes its 2015 season in grand style this weekend with two special concerts featuring singer-songwriters Naomi Hooley and Rob Stroup. Ticket reservations are highly recommended and can be obtained at Brown Paper Tickets or by calling 360-901-0962. Tickets are $12 each. Hooley and Stroup will bring a program of winter songs to share at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19. There will also be a performance at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 20. When Hooley moved 3,000 miles from a small town in Alaska, the chances of meeting Rob Stroup, from a small town in Oregon, were pretty slim. But it happened. From the moment they met it was clear they were destined to combine their musical talents. Stroup is the perfect producer, co-writer and band mate for Hooley’s melodic, energetic and thoughtful songs. A prolific songwriter with a vocal signature, Hooley’s voice has been called “cool and powerful” and her songwriting “masterful.” She combines the melodic sensibilities of the great folk writers of the ’70s like Jim

Croce, Gordon Lightfoot and James Taylor with vocal abilities of Adele or Annie Lennox. Stroup’s musical background brings a whole other set of sounds and influences. A founding member of Portland’s roots-rock combo The Baseboard Heaters, Stroup draws on ’60s rock and classic country influences and is also influenced by the Oklahoma sound of JJ Cale and the bluesy sides of Bob Dylan. Together they cover a lot of ground and meld together in a cohesive act. Their newest album, “Wild

Scandinavian Serves a large party Glogg Ingredients

Roast Beef and Yorkshire Pudding

Ingredients 2 pounds rump or standing rib roast Garlic powder to taste Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 eggs, beaten 1 cup milk Directions 1. Preheat oven to 375 F. 2. Wash roast and sprinkle with garlic pow-

der, salt and pepper. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the roast, making sure it doesn’t touch any bone or fat. 3. Bake on a wire rack inside a large roasting pan in the preheated oven for 90 minutes, or to desired doneness. For medium-rare, the meat thermometer should read 135 F. Remove roast from pan, reserving drippings. 4. In a small mixing bowl, beat the two eggs until frothy. In another small

bowl, mix the salt and flour. Stir the beaten eggs into the flour. Stirring constantly, gradually pour in the milk. 5. Preheat oven to 400 F. 6. Pour the reserved pan drippings into a medium muffin tin. Place in the preheated oven for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and pour the egg, flour and milk mixture into the hot drippings. Return muffin tin to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until fluffy and golden brown.

5 bottles port wine 1 bottle bourbon 1 bottle white rum 3 whole cardamom pods, cracked 1 small cinnamon stick 4 whole cloves 1 strip of orange peel 1 cheesecloth and twine ¾ cup sugar 1 pound dark raisins 6 ounces blanched slivered almonds Directions 1. Heat the port wine in a large stockpot with lid over medium heat until almost simmering. Add the bourbon and rum, and bring the mixture back to just below a simmer. 2. When mixture is hot, carefully light it with a long-handled match and pour the sugar into the flames. Let the mixture burn for 1 minute, then extinguish the flames by putting the lid on the pot. Let the glogg cool, covered, for 10 minutes. 3. Meanwhile, place cardamom, cinnamon stick, cloves, and orange peel onto the center of the cheesecloth and tie into a bundle with twine. When the glogg has cooled, uncover and add the cheesecloth bundle, raisins and almonds to the warm wine mixture. Let it cool to room temperature. 4. Strain the cooled glogg, reserving the raisins and almonds. Strained glogg, sealed and stored properly, will keep for a year, but usually disappears long before that. 6. To serve, heat the glogg and ladle into cups, garnishing with the reserved raisins and almonds.

Library After Hours presents the Consort of All Sorts

Enjoy a winter holiday concert of baroque music at the Astoria Public Library ASTORIA— Astoria Public Library and the Astor Library Friends Association present Library After Hours, a free series of cultural events that take place at the library after regular hours of operation. The series continues at 6 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18 with a holiday concert. Admission is free, and light refreshments will be provided. This festive event will feature Astoria’s own early music ensemble Consort of All Sorts, playing instrumental and vocal

music from the 17th and 18th centuries with themes appropriate for the winter holiday season. On the program will be baroque trio sonatas by Quantz, Telemann, Schickhardt, Sammartini and Boismortier, plus several unusual carols sung by baritone Drew Herzig accompanied by the Consort. Members of the group participating in this concert include Phyllis Taylor on cello, Hannelore Morgan on recorder, Charles Schweigert on ba-

YOU R RESTAU RAN T

URTXH Ă€XWH 'RQQD &DUVRQ RQ bassoon, Ray Lund on harpsichord and Drew Herzig on percussion and vocals. Consort of All Sorts gets it name from the title of a book by Canadian author and painter Emily Carr, who wrote a memoir of her life in Victoria, British Columbia in the early years of the 20th century. “The House of All Sortsâ€? chronicles the daily life at a rooming house Carr ran for all sorts of zany characters. In the realm of music, “con-

sort� is a somewhat antiquated term for a group of similar or dissimilar instruments or voices; a good match for this group of musicians and a name that allows for the addition of other instruments as they are needed. It also leaves open the possibility of exploring music from multiple periods. The Astoria Public Library is located at 450 10th St. For more information, call 503325-7323, email comments@ astorialibrary, or visit www. astorialibrary.org

In a second medium bowl, mix together the olives, capers, parsley, dill, lemon juice and zest, and the olive oil. Drain the prunes, then add those. Mix well, then season with salt and pepper. As soon as the salmon comes out of the oven, carefully transfer it to a serving platter and spoon the prune mixture over it.

GEARHART — Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Pilar French will perform at the McMenamins Sand Tap Pub from 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18. The performance is free, and all ages are welcome. The pub is located at 1157 N. Marion Ave. For more information, call 503-717-8150. French is one of those unexpected talents who can bowl you over with intelligent, passionate songwriting and give you a groove to rock out to. She’s a varied musician, and not just because she plays guitar and bass (depending on the situation): One minute she’s in lounge mode, her voice all silk and smoke, and the next she’s belting out a slightly askew blues tune. French calls it twisted funk ‘n’ blues, but she has an intimate, introspective side as well. She can evoke Marlene Dietrich singing Cole Porter, Nicolette Larson, Steely Dan, Maria Muldaur and Sarah McLachlan, just to name a few. “I do use music to show my emotions but I also try to write thought-evoking music,� French says. “Maybe you read the lyrics and you think it’s about something totally different than I do.

Maybe it’s intel-rock-tual, a thinking person’s music. If you want something you can marinade on, you can listen to multiple times and discover something different every time you listen to it — that’s what my music is.� French, who grew up in the Midwest and went to college in Chicago, has lived in Portland for 13 years. She’s become deeply ingrained in the music scene through participation in a variety of bands and musical partnerships. She started in bluesy, funky bands, including Soul Patrol Mission and Swerve, then spent time with art songstress Kate Mann in Ginger Lovely. French later found herself work-

ing with singer Lara Michell (of Carmina Piranha and Dirty Martini) in a Duran Duran tribute band, which led to her joining Michell and Nicole Campbell’s goofy cover band Guilty Pleasures and One Hit Wonders.

Dusu Mali Band brings West African song, dance to Fort George Brewery on Sunday

Wildlife viewing opportunities abound

ASTORIA — Fort George Brewery welcomes the West African music of Dusu Mali Band, performing at 8 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 20. All ages are welcome, and there is no cover for the performance. Fort George is located at 1483 Duane St. “Dusu� means “gentle heart.� The band plays original music; most songs are written by Timbuktu-born band member Ibrahim Kelly and developed as a group. Others are based on traditional song and dance from various regions of Mali and West Africa. The music is a universal medium to be embraced and enjoyed across all cultures of the world. Formed in 2010, the band traveled to Mali, West Afri-

LONG BEACH PENINSULA, Wash. — Annual migrations as well as seasonal changes bring wildlife viewing opportunities to Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula from December 2015 through April 2016. Wildlife enthusiasts can spend a day or more spotting numerous bird and mammal species including gray whales, trumpeter swans and peregrine falcons. “This is a great time to view wildlife on the Long Beach Peninsula,� said Andi Day, executive director of the Long Beach Peninsula Visitors Bureau. “Opportunities to see less common species from easily accessible viewing sights make the region ideal, particularly on clear weather days.� Migrating gray whales heading south can be seen from vantage points such as the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center at Cape Disappointment State Park in Ilwaco from mid through the end of December. In March, returning gray whales can be spotted more easily as they tend to stay closer to the shoreline with newborn calves. The acrobatic humpback whale is making a comeback in the region. Several were seen feeding in the Columbia River near the Washington side of the Astoria-Megler Bridge in the fall of this year. Cetacean lovers anticipate their return during their northward migration in the spring. “A great deal of migrating waterfowl including mallards, pintails, American widgeon, green-winged teal, Canadian geese and shorebirds, sandpipers, dunlins, godwits and more are using the estuaries of Willapa Bay, Port of Ilwaco and the Columbia River right now,� says Jackie Ferrier from Willapa National Wildlife Refuge. “Quite a few raptors, bald eagles, peregrine falcons, northern harriers are present as well.�

spent the month of January traveling far across Mali to a number of spots including Sevare, Mopti, Dogon Country, and even to one of the most remote music festivals in the world, Le Festival au Desert, in Timbuktu. They carried guitars and drums and played music everywhere they could. They met a lot of people, saw a lot of amazing things, connected with friends, and were served a heaping dose of life’s lessons. Dusu Mali Band has performed at many festivals and venues on the West Coast, including the Joshua Tree Music Festival, Breitenbush Hot Springs, the Alladin Theater, Mississippi Studios, and Roseland Theater. Dusu has also opened for successful Malian artists such as Tinariwen and Vieux Farka Toure.

Gray whales, snowy owls and swans among the mix to see this winter, spring on the Long Beach Peninsula

Submitted photo by Jonathan Bates

Snowy owls have made a showing for the last couple of years. notforsale

According to Ferrier, winter is a good time to visit snowy plover habitat at Leadbetter Point and beaches to the south, as the birds are more mobile in the winter. From March 15 to Sept. 30, the beach in the refuge and state park is closed to public access to protect snowy plovers during nesting while vulnerable chicks are running around. Trumpeter swans are predicted to make their annual return to Black and Loomis lakes in late December. Snowy owls have made a showing for the last couple of years and a return is hoped for this year as well. For excellent wildlife watching opportunities, nature and bird observer Suzy Whittey recommends Hines Marsh, accessed by the Martha Jordan Birding Trail. “Hines Marsh is a unique, natural treasure,â€? says Whittey. “The area is an important biological interdunal ‘island’ for wildlife and birds between :LOODSD %D\ DQG WKH 3DFLÂżF Ocean.â€? Whittey adds that Hines Marsh is thought to be the largest interdunal, freshwater wetland remaining in North America. It provides important habitat for the trumpeter swan as well as over 100 species of birds including songbirds, raptors and waterfowl. Many mammals like otter, deer, elk

and black bear also live in the area. “The best times to bird the area is between September and April, or when the mosquitoes hatch,â€? adds Whittey. The Martha Jordan Birding Trail parking lot, located 2.7 miles north of Oysterville Road on Stackpole Road on the northern tip of Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula, affords access to the marsh. After crossing the short boardwalk from the parking lot, the marsh is reached by walking DERXW KDOI D PLOH RQ D Ă€DW WZR track gravel road. Beyond the marsh is private property.

Eric Jensen stands beneath one of his creations, the halibut, in Morris’ Fireside Restaurant.

Five Minutes With ... ERIC JENSEN By Dani Palmer EO Media Group Portland artist Eric Jensen’s work can be found hanging in Morris’ Fireside Restaurant in Cannon Beach. Much of it is wood-based and all done by hand, but Jensen is experienced in a variety of mediums. He studied sculpture under a master in Bali and taught sculpture himself at Portland Community College. He’s also taught art to at-risk youth. He’s done work for a wide range of clients, including a stone piece for the Chinook Indian Nation and a wood carving for the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. And he’s available for requests. Jensen works from a studio in his houseboat, but those interested in seeing his art can take a gander and find his contact information at ericjensenart.com Tell me a little bit about your background. How’d you get started with art? I was always interested in art. I was very ill when I was small and so my father encouraged me to draw. It just

kind of grew over the years. What sort of art do you do? I’m all over the place. I did the halibut in Morris’ Fireside Restaurant. I work in various media. Wood, ceramic,

synthetics. Anything and everything. When did you get involved with Morris’ Fireside Restaurant in Cannon Beach? I think it was 2001. I had made the crab on the other side of the chimney here, and I had it in the back of my van. I stopped by and spoke with Mr. Morris, and he bought it right out of the van. I’ve done four things for him. He’s great to work with. How many pieces would you say you’ve made over the years? Oh golly. There’s probably 44 images here in my portfolio, and this is maybe half of them. Are there any particular themes you enjoy working with? Not specifically. Although I get a lot of orders for animals, especially pets. I did a series of dogs hanging out of car windows in ceramic, and people just loved it. Some were portraits of their dogs, and some were just your basic German shepherd or weeny dog or whatever. I like abstract; I like figurative. I’ve always tried to diversify. I’ve mixed media. I did a sign with three different woods for a hair salon in Eugene. The hair was red cedar because the model was a redhead — the wife of the owner of the salon. And like many redheads, her skin was fair, so I made the face out of ash. I work in a lot of media, though, not just wood. What sort of clients have you had? It sounds like you’ve had everyday people for the pet projects and groups like the tribe for others. I’ve done work with both the Chinook Tribe and the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. I’ve done museum work. My artwork usually gets around by word of mouth. These days, I’m trying to appeal to architects.

COLUMBIA BAR

Painkiller By RYAN HUME

Located in the old Eagles’ lodge on Commercial Street in Astoria, the Port of Call Bistro & Bar continues to expand its reach. With a revamped and expanded menu, the Port is now also offering food delivery. Though you will still have to come in for the booze, pool and karaoke, not to mention the North Coast’s only monthly poetry open mic, where you can kick back a shot of Fireball between stanzas. One of the joint’s signature drinks is the island-inspired Painkiller, where you control the pour of the rum based on your self-diagnosed pain assessment. For example, a five on the pain chart will be nursed with a 2-ounce pour at seven dollars. And while the nutmeg itself offers its own numbing properties, it’s really the heavy dose of barrel-aged rum that will make you forget about all that holiday shopping. Ingredients: 1.5, 2, or 2.5 ounces of Pusser’s rum, or any similar Navy or dark rum, depending on your level of “pain” 1 part cream de coconut 1 part orange juice (preferably fresh-squeezed) 4 parts pineapple juice Ice Freshly grated nutmeg Directions: Shake ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker until frothy. Pour into a pint glass, ice and all, then top with the nutmeg. —Recipe and story courtesy of Stacy Lane, Port of Call Bistro & Bar, Astoria

A wooden sign outside of Albatross welcomes visitors inside on a rainy night.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Albatross & Co. It was a dark and stormy night. A shot rang out — actually, a call for a shot rang out: a double shot of Black Velvet Canadian whisky. It was a Black Velvet Friday night in Astoria. Rain had taken over and ripped through our hearts and minds. I relished the feeling. It’s why I live here. It’s why some people can’t hack it. I had just completed teaching a writing workshop at the Fort George Brewery and walked down 14th Street with my associates. Destination: Albatross & Co., a bar. Inside, it took me all of five seconds to realize I couldn’t slake my thirst for Black Velvet in Albatross. This was not a Black Velvet kind of joint, nor ever would be until the end of whisky time. Instead, I ordered up some Burnside Bourbon on the rocks for myself and the associates. Burnside Bourbon, named after a mediocre Civil War general, a product of Eastside Distilling, distilled in Portland. Yes, Portland distills whiskey. It’s a world gone mad for sure, but sometimes you must roll with it, particularly with Bourbon. I looked around the Albatross while I waited for someone to notice me wanting to order: the appointment staggered me: bricks, wood, and more wood, old wood. This is the most opulent rustic drinking hole in Astoria and all of the Oregon Coast. It almost feels like a movie set. I almost felt like a movie star in there. My drinks materialized. The pour was reminiscent of Burnside’s generalship. That’s okay. This was a nightcap anyway. It’s not 1919 anymore in Astoria. I left the bar after 20 minutes of good talk with friends and a pretty decent whiskey. Outside, on the street, it occurred to me: Albatross is located next to Gimre’s Shoes, founded in 1892, the oldest family-owned shoe store in the Western United States. Talk about juxtaposition and the story of modern Astoria! I could buy a new pair of Hush Puppies from a real shoe salesman and then walk 10 feet and order a boutique $11 Bourbon. I just might do that next time.
