night as KALA transforms to a dance club, mixing old disco, nudisco, dance favs and strong dance beats. “Dance is a highly democratic activity,� says Urell. “Dancers allow conscientious space for one another, in the pursuit of the freedom of self-expression. American Disco was founded on democracy too – in the underground spaces of New York in the late

’60s, when turntable mixing was in its raw form, black, white, gay and straight danced together in community. We hope to activate folks into a really good self-expressive, get-down, democratic sweat.� The dance will run from 9 p.m. to midnight. There is a $5 cover. A full bar will be available, and the event is 21 and over. KALA is located at 1017 Marine Drive.

day afternoon at the gallery. Reservations are suggested for the artist talk. “They Call It Home: The Southeastern Utah Collection� is a photo documentary about the people of San Juan County, Utah, produced in 1972-73. This work offers a personal glimpse into the primarily white communities, as well as Navajos on the reservation. The photographs tell a universal American story about the nature of our independence, our interdependence and the powerful pride we take in the places we call home. “I am not certain if I really understood in 1973 how extraordinary the circumstances were which allowed a 23-year-old stranger from the big city, not only to be abso-

As a serious photographer in the mid 1970s, Hochfeld chose woodworking as his vocation.

The Coaster Theatre Song, dance and false accusations abound

– and multiple personalities

T

The Coaster Theatre’s current season brings with it some unique casting. A hospital coordinator, a student/waitress, a Les Schwab tire man and a pastor-by-day become four dedicated actors by night. Their common bond is an undeniable passion for theater. There are only four actors in the Coaster’s current production of “The 39 Steps,â€? which is loosely based on the 1935 Alfred Hitchcock spy movie. The four – Lisa Fergus, Ellen Jensen, Ben Van Osdol and David Sweeney – are not a group to miss a beat or a cue. They also all have roles in the theater’s concurrently running summer musical “Into the Woods.â€? It all makes for a summer on stage. Understandably, “I have to like a play to audition for it,â€? says Fergus, who plays Cinderella in “Into the Woodsâ€? and Annabele/Pamela/Margaret in “The 39 Steps.â€? In addition to acting, Fergus will make her directorial debut for the Coaster’s holiday season production of “Beauty and the Beast.â€? “I can’t do more than two, maybe three shows a year because of the time commitment. You’re pretty much here all year: Our rehearsals started in March, we will perform through September, and auditions for the next season’s show are held in August.â€? In “The 39 Steps,â€? directed by Coaster Theatre Executive Director Patrick Lathrop, Fergus, Jensen, Van Osdol and Sweeney take on multiple roles (see if you can count them – I couldn’t). It’s a fast-paced comedy; the four actors duck, sway, change characters, accents and costumes seemingly in the blink of an eye. Lathrop calls it, “A giddy display of theatrical invention as well as whirlwind funny business,â€? in his director’s notes. In another quick change, Lathrop had his own change of mind two nights before the show opened. “Simplify, simplify, simplifyâ€? became his mantra. With very few props, “The intent became to celebrate the theater, to create something out of nothing, making the focus of the play all about the actors and their characters,â€? Lathrop says. It works. When not on stage in “39,â€? the four actors Âż QG WKHPVHOYHV LQ 6WHSKHQ 6RQGKHLPÂśV IULVN\ farce “Into the Woods.â€?

Once again the Coaster Theatre proves itself cutting edge and way ahead of the curve. “Into the Woods,â€? the movie, will be released Dec. 25, starring such big names as Johnny Depp and Meryl Streep. The major Walt Disney production’s reported “nicing upâ€? of the original script has created a media buzz. Music and lyric writer Stephen Sondheim’s reaction to script changes can be found online. Then go see the Coaster presentation that would make Sondheim smile. characters, Fergus records herself saying her lines. “It’s not hard to juggle the two shows, but sometimes with my assorted characters in ‘39,’ I’ll wonder who I am at the moment,â€? she says. “The different accents are a big help.â€? Jensen reads over her lines once, then again, DQG WKHQ DJDLQ Âł'LIIHUHQW DFFHQWV DUH GHÂż QLWH ly good cues,â€? she agrees.

‘The different accents are a big help.’

David Sweeney plays Richard Hannay and Lisa Fergus plays Annabele, among other characters, in the Coaster Theatre’s “The 39 Steps� this summer. Both actors also appear in “Into the Woods,� which also runs this summer at the Coaster Theatre.

The four actors attribute strong support from family and friends as one factor that allows them the time to take part in community theater. And all rely on the audience for an exchange of performance energy. Different audiences each bring their own personality. “It’s been great rehearsing for both plays. We laugh; we joke – we’re all family here. These four actors are doing a wonderful job with both plays,� says Lathrop of the group, who somehow manage to balance their lives both at and away from the theater.

Loe has mastered the medium, in which you draw negative to positive (black to white) instead of positive to negative as in pencil to paper. He presents 22 pieces representing all types of sea life, from the great white shark to the shrimp. 3. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. RiverSea Gallery presents two solo exhibitions opening during art walk. In “Skyswath & Other Stories,” Seattle artist Joan Stuart Ross offers layers of translucent brilliance in encaustic and mixed-media abstract paintings.

Enjoy this opening reception accompanied by live Brazilian jazz and world music by Bossa Duo. 4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery will feature all new work by Astoria artist Kimberly Reed. “For me, painting is about connecting with emotion,” Reed says. “It’s about capturing a moment in time – the moment where your emotions were so strong, mixed up, not known ... and the beauty so great it’s raw. It’s about creating a connection with what we’ve seen, where we’ve been, what we felt and continue to feel.” Reed’s abstract paintings can be broody and turbulent as well as peaceful and hopeful. Painting mostly with a palette knife, Reed builds up layers and texture, using rich, vibrant colors, often in unexpected combinations. Daric Moore will play guitar, and refreshments and wine will be served.

“Coastal Impression” by Chris Bryant, at Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts.

“Coastal Delight” by Chris Bryant, at Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts.

Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts will show Chris Bryant’s plein air paintings.

His colorful visual art is influenced by graffiti, the hip-hop energy of outlaw street politics and the graphic style of Jean Michel Basquiat. Check out his visual art at KALA during art walk and through August, and mark your calendar to hear him perform Friday, July 25 at KALA. KALA will also host a “Dance is Democratic” Democracy Dance following the art walk. See page 2 for details.

Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. Alderbrook artist Chris Bryant is well known on the North Coast for exceptional landscape photography. However, as the French Impressionist painters before her, she has found joy in carrying on the tradition of painting directly from life – painting en plein air. Loosely translated, this term has come to mean “outdoors,” “in the moment,” and “capturing the experience as it unfolds.” Since summer is the season of appreciating the outdoors, Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts invites guests to celebrate the landscape with Bryant’s new show, “Plein Air Paradise.” (Read more about Bryant’s work and plein air approach online at www.coastweekend.com.)

Story by CATE GABLE Photos by ALEX PAJUNAS

or 30 years, skilled North Coast thespians have been hitting the boards in “Shanghaied in Astoriaâ€? to tell the story of our region. It is the longest-running all-volunteer musical melodrama west of the Rocky Mountains. This year, the heroes, heroines, villains and scallywags return for a July 10 opening, complete with a Baked Alaska picnic sponsored by KMUN. As a veteran performer and past director at the Astor Street Opry Company, Markus Brown says, “It is really quite a show. It’s famous now. We’ve had nearly 100,000 people see the show over the years – people from all over the world – and probably 200 performers. The show has done so much for this town, and the community has done so much for us. It’s a beautiful symbiosis.â€? %URZQ ÂżJXUHV KHÂśV EHHQ onstage in ASOC productions playing 100 characters or more. This year, he returns to play Krook, the lead villain. “I’ve been involved performing

in the company, securing our new home, and on the board,� he says. His involvement in the many aspects of both acting and managing the company is typical of ASOC participants. It takes a village to support a home-grown theater company.

The longevity of ‘Shanghaied’

But what are the qualities that have created ASOC’s success with “Shanghaied�? What makes it one of the longest-running melodramas in the nation? Commenting on its longevity, Brown says, “The show is very tight, and at the same time it’s different every single year. There are subtle differences in the lines or in the interpretation each director wants. The director often will change the script a little bit, so that has happened over the last 30 years.� LaMar Blackner, a North Coast resident for over 25 years, has also performed many of the “Shanghaied� roles and has helped in several other aspects of ASOC. He points to the strength of

People in other areas always ask me about it. Maybe it’s old hat to Astoria but not to theater people in other places. “Every character has their own little gimmicks that are added here and there. Lots of times two actors play the same role in the same year, so sometimes people come to see it more than one time in a run. It’s different every single year, and it can be different every single weekend.�

Commitment and dedication

The cast has been drawn from stand-out performers over the years. Many have returned to be on stage just to participate in this special 30th anniversary run. Judith Niland, founder and inveterate supporter of ASOC, continues her dedication to keeping ASOC an active part of the community. As Brown says, “Judith has gone out of her way to recruit as many veterans of the show as she can to help us celebrate. The cast will be made up of some of our best performers from past years. And there will also be some cameos, or as we call them ‘ringers,’ who may come in just for a weekend.� “I don’t know if there will be any other special

I

It was one of those perfect Saturdays. I found myself unexpectedly “offâ€? from my nonMouth related job, it was warm and sunny, and the mood of the day was lazy and laid-back, making pub food – maybe a burger, fries, a beer, nothing too formal or fancy – sound like just the ticket. The U Street Pub and Eatery in 6HDVLGH Âż W WKH ELOO SHUIHFWO\ with its warm, fun atmosphere, a well-thought-out menu, and its location just a stone’s throw from the ocean. What says pub-style, bar food better than chicken wings? I appreciated the hot wings served at the U Street on a few levels. First, I would suspect that they were broiled on a very high heat (although I can’t verify this, of course), since the wings themselves were nearly crisp on the outside, and not soft and fatty as chicken wings can often be. Second, I was intrigued by the spicy hot sauce that they were coated in; again, this is not something I can verify, but a popular sauce called Frank’s Red Hot is often used in making chicken wings, and the sauce featured here KDG D GLIIHUHQW GHFLGHGO\ KRPHPDGH Ă€ DLU WKDW , FRXOGQÂśW TXLWH SXW P\ Âż QJHU RQ ,W ZDV YHU\ hot, much hotter than I expected, and I liked the SOHDVDQW WDQJ\ Ă€ DYRU RI YLQHJDU WKDW VHHPHG omnipresent. For me the sauce was lacking a bit of depth and could have used a dash of sweetness to cut the astringency, but overall I liked the dish better than other versions I have tried locally. One of my favorites of the evening was a simple side salad that included bacon, pine nuts, a simple vinaigrette, and slices of orange and tomato on the side. I hate to pin it all on

the bacon – but the bacon, coated in tangy and sweet vinaigrette, and with the accompanying crunch of pine nuts, made the salad a complete home run.

The chowder at the U Street Pub and Eatery is definitely in my top five of coastal chowders.

Shrimp po’ boy sandwich

I would like to try the patty melt again, perhaps with the burger not quite so overly cooked, and served on a different bun; a hoagie roll, perhaps, or maybe ciabatta. I should note, though, that the steak fries that accompanied were exceptionally tasty: that just-right combination of crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. I was a bit disappointed in the shrimp po’ boy sandwich that followed. A traditional Louisiana favorite, the po’ boy sandwich, though it can be served with a variety of toppings, traditionally includes battered and deep-fried shrimp, which was what I was expecting.

You can CHIP-in, volunteer to clean up Shively Park at Sunday event ASTORIA — The Astoria Parks and Recreation Department’s Citizen’s Helping Improve Parks (CHIPin) program will host its next park cleanup from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 13 at Shively Park, located on 1530 Shively Park Road. “This CHIP-in day will be far different from what we have accomplished in the past. It is an opportunity to revive the natural beauty of

Shively Park,” said Janice O’Malley Galizio, volunteer coordinator for CHIP-in. “Following our Lindstrom Park clean up, CHIP-in has received quite a buzz about the Shively CHIP-in day. Recology Western Oregon has donated a large bin to discard yard debris, and Clatsop Community College’s Upward Bound students have committed to joining us at Shively. It will

surely be an exciting and invigorating event.” Shively Park was initially created as the main site of the first centennial celebration for the city of Astoria in 1911. It once housed a 1,500seat amphitheater; a zoo, replete with exotic birds and deer; as well as a complete replica of John Jacob Astor’s fur trading post, Fort Astoria, designed by archi-

tect John Wicks. More than 100 years later, patrons can still enjoy the park for weddings, hiking and for hosting many of life’s celebrations inside the community hall. Volunteers interested in helping at the CHIP-in event at Shively Park are asked to bring sturdy work gloves, weed whackers, hand pruners and loppers, if they have them. Volunteers are also

urged to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. CHIP-in has other volunteer opportunities available with monthly park cleanups as well as park adoption. More information is available on the Astoria Parks and Recreation Department’s Facebook page, at www.astoriaparks.com, by calling Galizio at 503298-2467, or emailing chipin@astoria.or.us

The tour will focus on Gnat Creek in the Nicolai-Wickiup watershed, starting at its convergence with the Columbia River and continuing upstream. The tour will be facilitated by NCWA coordinator Jesse Jones. Nicolai-Wickiup Watershed Council member Jim Bergeron and CREST staff member Matt Van Ess will each lead discussions illustrating points of interest and how they interact with the Gnat Creek landscape including tidegates, floodplain restoration, partners for habitat restoration funding, historic wild fish, floodplain farms, hatcheries, net pens and the Nicolai-Wickiup Watershed Council work plan. Along the way, tour participants will visit with local

residents, who will speak about their experiences with Gnat Creek. This is the first in a series of yearly tours designed to introduce whole systems of a river and its restoration and/or alteration projects, at one time. The tours will be available via a photo-documentary on the NCWA website, www.clatsopwatersheds.org, within a few days after the tour. The next tour will be decided via a survey on the website and will happen summer 2015. NCWA thanks the Network of Oregon Watershed councils for funding this tour. Lunch is included in the tour.

Tickets on sale for 11th Cannon Beach cottage tour CANNON BEACH — Attention history hounds, architecture enthusiasts and the coastally curious: It’s almost time to put on your walking shoes to take a tour through Cannon Beach’s homes and cottages. The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum’s 11th annual Cottage & Garden Tour is the perfect excuse to visit. The tour will take place from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 13. Other events will be held on Friday, Sept. 12 and Sunday, Sept. 14. And tickets are on sale now. The museum’s cottage tour committee has chosen just over 10 homes and gardens in the midtown area of Cannon Beach. Each year a group of hard working volunteers and staff spend time painstakingly choosing idyllic Cannon Beach homes and gardens. The group has focused its attention this year on grand beach homes, vintage cottages and iconic lodging facilities. The homes garner the unique craftsmanship of Cannon Beach. Those who have attended the tour in previous years will know there is much more to see than architectural design. Visitors will get a chance to see the work of artists, private collectors and beach designs. What sets the Cannon Beach Cottage & Garden Tour apart from other home tour events? “The Cottage & Garden Tour focuses on history and the artisan quality of craftsmanship, architecture and artwork of our small town,” explains Elaine Murdy-Trucke, director of the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum. The Cottage & Garden Tour is the museum’s annual fundraiser, and contributes a VLJQL¿FDQW DPRXQW WR WKH QRQSUR¿W¶V DQQXDO LQFRPH 7KH event was started 11 years ago by author and historian Jill Grady, her colleague Connie Crow and several intrepid board members.

Cinnamon-sugar pineapple Summer means it’s time to heat up the grill. Hot dogs, burgers, barbecue, pizza, salmon – you name it, we’ve heard of it. But who says the grill is limited to savory dishes? Dessert on the grill is possible. Try this easy, tasty pineapple dish. Ingredients • Pineapple rings • Coconut milk • Cinnamon sugar

Directions 1. Dip a pineapple ring in a bowl of coconut milk. 2. Coat well in a bowl of cinnamon sugar. 3. Heat the grill to medium-high heat and add the pineapple, cooking a few minutes on either side. 4. Serve immediately on top of ice cream – or by itself. * Coast Weekend takes no responsibility for singed fingers or sticky faces.

These spellings did not lend themselves to easy use, and for many years the stream has been locally known as Skipanon, a fact that the U.S. Geographic Board finally took notice of, and included in a decision: Skipanon Creek. Subsequently (April 1, 1925) the decision was changed to Skipanon River, which fits the universal Oregon usage.” —Lewis A.

This American bald eagle was rescued on Karlson Island in the Columbia River and rehabilitated at the Wildlife Center of the North Coast. Submitted photo by Josh Saranpaa

Wildlife Rehab: Karlson Island eagle By JOSHUA SARANPAA • For Coast Weekend I’m sure it started with a hard, fast crash. The two large birds locked their feet, and, fully distracted by their battle, plummeted to the ground. I’m sure it ended with a loud, gruesome thump. The two, now separated, and dazed by the finale, parted ways. One, however, was left behind. The triumphant combatant was, perhaps, quite a bit larger than the defeated. Whatever the situation, a little male American bald eagle was left tattered and torn. Bald eagles are never found in easily accessible areas: the middle of the road, the neighbor’s backyard, parking lots. Instead, eagles end up in the middle of the Bald eagles are Columbia River, hidden in the thickest of forests, or never found in easily down some creepy road in the middle of the night. accessible areas. This eagle was no exception. A couple of kayakers called the Wildlife Center of the North Coast after they spotted the eagle on an island up the Columbia River. Having no boat, and therefore, no means for getting this distressed animal, we had to improvise. It was a sunny, yet cool day when the call came through. We managed to commandeer a boat and its captain at the John Day boat ramp, east of Astoria. As we drew closer to the island, through flocks of cormorants and ducks, we noticed the two kayakers. The men pointed to where the eagle sat – wet, and defeated – and we mucked onto the island to capture the bedraggled bird. The eagle’s stay with us was short. We fed him, dressed his superficial wounds, and conditioned him for release in our large, outdoor flight cage. Release day arrived, and it was just as sunny and just as cool as capture day. We opened the kennel, and like a horse at the starting gate, the eagle eagerly charged out and was in the sky once again. The Wildlife Center of the North Coast is the only wildlife hospital on the North Oregon Coast. As a nonprofit, all-volunteer wildlife hospital, WCNC relies on the community. Currently, WCNC is seeking volunteers to join its wildlife care team. For more information, call 503-338-0331.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Cannon Beach Book Company It was a sunny Friday in June and I walked into the Cannon Beach Book Company to deliver my latest title. Right away, something felt off : The great book woman Valerie Ryan, who owned and operated this store for so many years, had recently passed away. The Pacific Northwest literary community keenly feels her absence and will for a very long time. Many authors owe her a substantial debt for shaping, selling and promoting their books. I am one of them. I’ll never forget my first meeting with Valerie. Her reputation for candor preceded her, and I was an unknown self-published author peddling my first book, “Grasping Wastrels Vs. Beaches Forever Inc.,” about Oregon’s unique legacy of publicly owned beaches. This 2003 book contained one essay that disparaged a prominent citizen of Cannon Beach Valerie Ryan for his role in trying to privatize the beach in front of his motel, the very event that touched off the epic legislative battle in 1967 that culminated with the passage of the Beach Bill. If I recall correctly, I had mailed her a preview copy and said I would be stopping in to see if she wanted to carry the book. After introducing myself, she practically cut me off, and said, “Do you know the man you vilified in this book has done a lot of great things for Cannon Beach? Why should I even carry it?” She obviously had read the book. I was pretty much shocked. My response was: “Hey, you can do anything you want because it’s your shop, but this man wanted to claim the beach for himself. If he’d won, you wouldn’t recognize the Oregon Coast. That’s worth putting in a book.” Valerie Ryan then smiled at me. She had given it to me and I had given it right back. I must have won her over because for the next 11 years, she carried all of my books, including that first one. Thank you Valerie and may your store live on.

Matt Love lives in Astoria. His latest book is “Rose City Heist: A True Crime Portland Tale of Sex, Gravy, Jewelry and Almost Rock and Roll.” It’s available at all coastal bookstores, including the Cannon Beach Book Company.
