AAUW honors Women’s History Month

Learn about local women and their contributions to Astoria ASTORIA — To celebrate March as Women’s History Month, the American Association of University Women invites the public to hear stories contained in the booklet “100 Women Who Helped Make Astoria” at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 17 in the Flag Room of the Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th St. In the 1980s, there was virtually nothing written about women in schools’ history books. To remedy this omission, Astoria’s AAUW branch contributed books and posters on women to schools. Special dinners and receptions, bringing women and women’s groups

together, were organized to discuss the wealth of variety and strengths about women in the community. A committee was formed, parameters were determined, eras and names were researched. This booklet began with the idea of acknowledging the contributions women have made and continue to make to Astoria. Two years were devoted to the booklet, “100 Women Who Helped Make Astoria,” for presentation during Astoria’s bicentennial year, 2011. Over the past two years AAUW has had the pleasure of hearing how eight women have helped Astoria:

Rae Goforth, Karen Mellin, Susan Skinner, Barbara Roberts, Anita Schacher, Arline LaMear, Edith Henningsgaard Miller and Gerry Swenson. The recordings of these women have been added to AAUW’s archive of “100 Women Who Helped Make Astoria” to acknowledge their impact on the community. AAUW would once again like to recognize more of the 100 women honorees. This year, hear Janet Weidman will share her story as well as others, and learn more about what makes women involve themselves in their communities.

Janet Weidman will speak at the AAUW’s event March 17 in honor of Women’s History Month.

MODERN. UNDERGROUND. COUNTRY. Manzanita band the Cedar Shakes release new album on vinyl, cassette and digital

Submitted photo by Justin Bailie

Manzanita band the Cedar Shakes is made of Travis Champ on guitar and vocals and James Owen Greenan on pedal steel.

There I was, nearly broke, slightly hungover, driving my beat-up pickup truck down the Oregon Coast in the rain after my girlfriend had dumped me, when I pushed in a cassette tape recently sent to me in the mail and cranked up the volume. A cassette of new country music. A few hours later, I had listened to the album three times and had heard some exquisite throwback musicianship and uniquely immortal lines like: “Sometimes true love sends postcards to the ocean / sometimes you’ll wish true love was overseas.” Or: “Jesus saves in Helvetica / last chance for diesel till you hit the state line,” from a song called “Helvetica.” Yes, someone wrote a country song about the generic ubiquitous font Helvetica!

So let me declaim here: I have now heard the new best voice of fresh country music you’ll never hear on clichéd country radio stations, and I heard it on a cassette tape released by a Manzanita band called the Cedar Shakes. And I haven’t stopped listening to it since that inaugural play. Cedar Shakes consists of Travis Champ on guitar and vocals and James Owen Greenan on pedal steel. The al-

Author series hosts Molly Gloss You are what you eat: how womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food CANNON BEACH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Prize-winning novelist Molly Gloss will be the March speaker at the Cannon Beach Libraryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Northwest Author series, highlighting the publication of her new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Falling From Horses,â&#x20AC;? at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 14. The talk is free and open to the public. Gloss is a fourth-generation Oregonian and lives in Portland. In her latest novel, set in 1938, she explores the darkest part of the Great Depression. The main character, 19-year old Bud Frazer, becomes weary of the meager rewards of the rural rodeo circuit and boards a bus, hoping to find a job as a stunt rider in the movies. In a matter-of-fact, laconic, authentic voice, Frazer describes the year he tried to break into the movies, as well as his childhood growing up on a hardscrabble Oregon ranch and his lifelong friendship with Lily Shaw, whom he met on the bus ride. Gloss strips away any romantic notions of ranch life or moviemaking with detailed descriptions of long days of work and the tricks used on horses in filming.

Crowdfunding campaign seeks to finance next North Coast Squid literary journal MANZANITA â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Manzanita Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Series is kicking off a crowdfunding campaign to raise funds to print and launch the fourth addition of the North Coast Squid, a local literary journal. The fourth North Coast Squid, which showcases work of writers and artists who live on the North Oregon Coast or have a strong connection to the area,

will be published in April. The crowdfunding campaign, through Indiegogo, is just one part of the overall budget. The rest of the expenses are covered through in-kind donations of submission management, design time, editing, and with Squid sales. Donation amounts range from $25 to $500. In thanks for each donation, a

perk is available. Perks vary, from a copy of the Squid with your name on the donor page, a signed print of the cover image, to a literary agent review of your book proposal. You can even have a character named for you in Portland author Phillip Margolinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s next novel. The campaign funding goal is $3,000, with a stretch goal of

$5,000. This would allow a few pages of color on the inside as well as the cover of the journal, to showcase local art included with the writing. Any amount raised past the goal will go to the next magazine. To donate, visit www.indiegogo.com and type North Coast Squid in the search box. The campaign ends at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, March 18.

Discover wines of the Northwest

Gary Hayes, the director of Savor Cannon Beach, says this year’s wine festival brings in almost 40 wineries and is a good representation of Pacific Northwest vineyards.

The sixth annual Savor Cannon Beach wine festival takes place March 12 to 15

“I always thought that Cannon Beach was the perfect place for a wine festival,” said Gary Hayes. “And since nobody else started one, I decided I would.” And so, in 2010, Hayes hatched Savor Cannon Beach, an exploration and exultation of Northwest wines. But, to be fair, the idea wasn’t all his. “Although this is the sixth year for Savor Cannon Beach there was a Wine Walk that existed for several years before that,” said Hayes, the festival director and publisher of Coast Explorer magazine. With Hayes at the helm, the Wine Walk blossomed into a weekend whose fragrant bouquet blooms March 12 to 15. The centerpiece, though, remains Saturday’s Wine Walk, from 1 to 5 p.m. (tickets are required). Like the original inspiration, this current iteration too bene¿ts the Cannon Beach 3reschool and Children’s Center. “It’s our largest event,” Hayes said of the Wine Walk. “We’ll have 500 people participating and about 40 wineries.” Of those vineyards, all sprout from Northwest soil. “We’ve got all regions,” said Hayes. “We’ve got Southern Oregon wineries that are making the trip up. We’ve got Willamette Valley wineries, who have a strong pinot noir presence. And then we’ve got some of the big Washington reds from Walla Walla and the valley. We’re going to represent the entire region pretty well.” Tucked into Cannon Beach businesses, from the galleries to the boutiques and beyond, representatives from numerous vineyards —including some winemakers themselves — will be pouring. “It’s good to do a bit of research and know who’s going to be there and don’t plan on tasting everything,” Hayes said. “I’d recommend sipping and spitting. That’s not something that a lot of wine-tasters do unless they’re more professional, but that’s the way the professionals do it. You can taste the wine just as well by sipping and spitting. We encourage that. It lets you taste more wines without losing your palate completely.” Indeed, Hayes added, the event is more

about education than revelry. And if that attracts a label of wine snobbery, well, so be it. “I won’t say that we encourage it,” Hayes said of wine’s occasionally pretentious-sounding overtones. “But I would say that our event, more than most others, attracts a more serious enthusiast. It’s not really about a big party. It’s about discovering new wines and wineries of the Northwest.” Such is evidenced in the weekend’s schedule: most events wrap before nightfall. That said, Hayes and Savor Cannon Beach aren’t wearing white gloves either. A handful of whimsical events are planned. “Bruce’s Candy Kitchen, they have a winery coming in, and they are actually making a candy for the weekend that’s made from that winery’s wines,” Hayes said. “It’s everything from the Cannon Beach Treasure Company — who also has a collection of bottles that they have recovered from ship wrecks — to the dog store, who’ll host a winery — and they also have a treat-tasting for dogs.” Of course, there are a few events scheduled for after dark. Most revolve around pairings. As the towering chef Julia Child once put it, “Wine is meant to be with food — that’s the point of it.” Three distinct dinners featuring four-course meals and speci¿c winery pairings punctuate the evenings. Two will take place at renowned local restaurants, the Stephanie Inn and EVOO Cannon Beach Cooking School. The third, to be hosted by Chef Jonathan Hoffman, the reigning champion of Iron Chef Goes Coastal, takes place at a private, ocean-front residence in Arch Cape on Saturday. Hoffman, along with EVOO’s Bob Neroni and with three other of Cannon Beach’s ¿nest, will go toe-to-toe at the Battle of the Bites, Friday, a component of the Battle of the Blends. Alongside the chefs, wines too will compete. Yet another tussle, the Thursday Night Throwdown, kicks off the weekend. “We pick a cabernet from Oregon and a cabernet from Washington, and a merlot from Oregon and a merlot from Washington and so on,” said Hayes. “There are six different varietals that match up, state-by-state, and the people who participate will vote on their favorites

and we kind of declare a winner among the states.” Really though, Savor Cannon Beach is not about winners and losers, or choosing a Best in Show. Said Hayes: “It’s just kind of a fun way to explore all of the Northwest wine regions.” It’s also an opportunity for wine enthusiasts to cultivate closer relationship with the many varietals and vineyards in their midsts. “I think what sets Savor Cannon Beach apart from other events and festivals is its more intimate nature,” said Hayes. “A lot of events will pack in thousands and thousands of people. With our Wine Walk event being 500, it’s a little more intimate.”

ART BUSINESSES

1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Known throughout the Northwest and beyond, Jill Mayberg brings a new collection of her delightful and whimsical mixed-media paintings. Her work is inspired by a confluence of traditions, derived from primitive art, expressionism and abstract modernism, merging with imagery depicting her love of nature, animals, water, color and geometrical design.

RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. In complementary solo exhibitions, RiverSea Gallery presents Kelli MacConnell and Stirling Gorsuch, two young printmakers each beginning to make their mark on the Northwest art scene. A passion for wild spaces and a love of printmaking is the driving force behind their work, and both are concerned about the intersection of modern civilization with nature. MacConnell acquired her Bachelor of Fine Arts in printmaking at Portland State University in 2012, and Gorsuch, raised in Cannon Beach, is in his senior year at Oregon State University. Enjoy conversation with the artists and refreshments. 4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Edward Peterson will be featured in his new show, “MARCH-ing in TEMPO.” His work presents a limited acrylic palette of blues in mellow tones.

8. Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts 1133 Commercial St. Luminari Arts celebrates the season with “Spring Rush,” a show by local artist Susan Bish. Known for her watercolors and plein air studies, Bish experiments painting on yupo, a slick, non-porous surface, making the use of watercolors a challenge. “The paint tends to flow all over, stays wet a long time, and dries in unexpected drips and puddles,” Bish says. “This lends itself well to our often rainy springs and rain-drenched flowers.” Enjoy music, snacks and adult beverages.

The concert is part of a worldwide celebration of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Sibelius, held in association with UNESCO. Sibelius captured the spirit of Scandinavia as no other artist.

Overnight oatmeal This overnight oat pudding makes a healthy breakfast easy

By MELISSA D’ARABIAN Associated Press The trick to making a nutritious breakfast a daily habit is never being more than 60 seconds away from something healthy. Because in the morning rush, it’s too easy to grab something unhealthy. Lately, my go-to quick and healthy choice has been oat pudding, mostly because my kids love it. But I also like the staying power the complex carbs and fiber have to keep us feeling full. Oats or oatmeal (plain, not the flavored quickie pouches), are on just about every list of heart healthy foods, as it has a nice dose of both soluble and insoluble fibers. Oats also bring a few grams of protein to the party, while having less than a gram of sugar. Even non-instant rolled oats are really only a few minutes away from being cooked into the iconic breakfast porridge I grew up eating (at the insistence of my grandma). But sometimes 5 minutes feels about 4 minutes too long, at least at our house.

And more to the point, my family doesn’t all love oatmeal as much as I learned to. Oat pudding solves these problems. And more. Oat pudding is made the night before (and only takes a few minutes), and can be customized to your tastes. It’s easy to add almond butter, cocoa powder, maple syrup, berries, cinnamon, applesauce, fresh or frozen fruit, shaved coconut, or whatever else you enjoy. The key is to mix about equal parts oats and liquid, add the flavorings, then let the pudding rest in the refrigerator for at least an hour and up to 48 hours. Pull the pudding out of the fridge, top with any extras (like fruit, nuts, honey or maple syrup) and enjoy. Or pop in the microwave for a minute for a warm pudding. Easy. And so much better than grandma’s big pot of sticky porridge.

Labor history meet set

Local history, contemporary workers’ issues and music to be featured ASTORIA — Respected Oregon historians Irene Martin, Bryan Penttila and Regan Watjus will discuss the Astoria area’s industrial and labor history at a day-long mini-conference on Saturday, March 14 at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. “The coastal city has a vibrant and sometimes volatile labor history,” said Ron Verzuh, a labor historian and Oregon vice-president of the Pacific Northwest Labor History Association, the sponsor of the event. “The history of radical Finnish trade unionists speaks to the richness of the region’s labor history as does the celebrated Astoria Labor Temple.” Coffee and introductions will take place from 9:30 to 10 a.m. Labor educator Marcus Widenor will moderate the labor history panel from

10 to 11:30 a.m. At lunchtime, Nathan Moore and Kate Downing of the Eugene-based Low Tide Drifters, fisherpoet Mary

LightBox displays ‘Nudes Downtown’ paintings ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will hold an artists’ reception for local artists Lisa Ackerman and John Wecker from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, March 14. Both artists will display a selection of paintings as part of the “Nudes Downtown” celebration. Ackerman and Wecker will also include other pieces of work for the reception. Ackerman has lived in Astoria since 2005 and owns Old Things & Objects antique shop with her husband, Shawn. She is a familiar face in the Astoria art community, having shown her work in both group and solo shows over the years. Most notably, Ackerman has been accepted into the “Au Naturel” art show at Clatsop Community College four times. “I feel inspired by painting the nude form as it discloses human nature without any disguises,” she says.

Ackerman is currently working on paintings inspired by the seven chakras. The first chakra, “Muladhara,” (the foundation of the energy body with energy circulating from the base of the spine and is the symbol of earth and roots with red) is in the “Nudes Downtown” show at LightBox. “The focus of my paintings is to open myself and others to the world’s diversity and expression through building on a collective consciousness of imagery, and to promote an awareness and reverence for the earth and all of its inhabitants, while also showing respect for the generations that proceeded us and how they have shaped us into the people we are,” says Ackerman. “I love painting friends in deity form, as it helps provide insight into their own archetypes. I also love including natural landscapes in back-

grounds inspired by the local area and various trips.” Artist John Wecker is a retired Lutheran pastor who discovered the joy of drawing and painting by studying with Kristin Shauck at CCC, noting that he has also learned much from local artists who are generous with their ideas and experiences. At this time, Wecker is focused on oil paintings on canvas or wood, but has been experimenting with oil on polymeric film as well. On his attraction to artistic nudes, Wecker explains, “The human figure is particularly fascinating and challenging since every pose and expression is new, and the slightest change of a line or value makes a huge difference in the image. I particularly enjoy the gesture aspect of figure drawing as it trains the eye and mind to pay careful and intense attention and to quickly see the rela-

tive proportions, values and shapes of the model. I hope that as I learn more skills in drawing and painting I will also gain more freedom to express what I see or imagine in new ways.”

‘Little Shop of Horrors’ opens on peninsula Peninsula Players put on dark comedy musical this March ILWACO, Wash. — A meteor streaking across the New York sky causes bedlam in the upcoming musical by the Peninsula Players opening March 13 at the River City Playhouse. The Players present the dark comedy “Little Shop of Horrors” for a three-weekend run. Friday and Saturday performances are scheduled for 7 p.m., and matinees hit the stage at 2 p.m. Sundays. The show will close March 29. The story centers around a florist assistant, Seymour, in the Skid Row area of New York City. Seymour, played by Robert Scherrer, has an interest in exotic plants — in particular, one he found on the streets of the city. Working with Seymour is the girl he has a crush on, Audrey, played by Rita Smith. Together they convince the owner of the shop, Mushnik, to allow them to put one of the exotic plants in the window to attract customers. The plant does draw customers, and Mushnik, played by Bill Clark, is pleased. Moving the story along are the Be Bop girls, who function as participants in the action, and a Greek Chorus outside the action. They are young, hip and smart and the only ones in the cast who know what is going on. Causing major problems

Dutch folk duo plays peninsula The Lasses bring old songs to life Saturday LONG BEACH, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The Peninsula Arts Center welcomes the Dutch folk duo the Lasses in concert at 7 pm. Saturday, March 14. Two Dutch girls met at an Irish session in Amsterdam and soon discovered their shared love of harmony singing and telling stories through music. They started to perform the songs they loved best, drawing from Sophie ter Schureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Scottish folk tradition and Margot Limburgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Irish musical heritage, music she knew like the back of her hand after years of busking with her harp-playing husband. 7KH VQXJ ÂżW RI WKHLU YRLFes was not lost on the public. The Lasses have tackled many cafĂŠs, concert halls, festivals and churches in the last two years with their folk repertoire. In 2014, Luka Bloom invited the duo to venture to the west coast of Ireland. Though each lass plays guitar as well as bodhrĂĄn, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s their voices that are instantly recognizable: Limburg is the husky alto and

Ter Schure the emotive soprano. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s spring tour sees the release of the Lassesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; second album, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Daughters,â&#x20AC;? containing a selection of songs about perky girls who might have done better if they had listened to their parents.

The troupe is made of an indecisive playwright, an irritated director and various actors who struggle to gain any momentum before their opening night. The disaster

Metal Head, a new heavy metal music store, opened recently on Marine Drive.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

A Glimpse Inside: Metal Head Where else but Astoria would an aficionado of heavy metal music open a record store in winter that only stocked heavy metal music? Where else but in Astoria would said store only stock heavy metal music played by the likes of Sacred Reich, Helstar and Angel Witch in vinyl and cassette?

The store is called Metal Head, and it is located at 1126 Marine Drive. It just might be the coolest new old thing in town. I wandered inside Metal Head a few days after it opened and met its owner and operator, John Gentner. I quickly learned John moved to Astoria three years ago and is an illuminated manuscript of all heavy things heavy metal music. In fact, he is heavy metal incarnate in the long-haired rock flesh.

We struck up a conversation about the impact of this particular musical genre, and John said, “When I first heard Black Sabbath as a kid, it changed the game for me.” What else is left to say after that? John found a passion, and here he was years later sharing his passion with others. “I’m starting off slowly and building for the summer,” he said. The very thought of summertime tourists buying heavy metal music in a record store in Astoria is one of the happiest thoughts I’ve had in years. Thank you John. On my first visit to Metal Head, I inexplicably did not purchase a tape. A few days later, I returned and asked John to recommend me a band. He chose Warlock’s 1987 release “Triumph and Agony.” When he handed me the tape for inspection, I noticed the cover featured a buxom blonde woman clad in black leather. “The singer’s a mega-babe,” he said. Sold. A few minutes later I slid Warlock inside my truck’s cassette player and cranked it up. Track 1…”All We Are” exploded through the speakers. Wow! I thought to myself: I need more of this. Now I know where to go to get it.

Ilwaco >ܼO Z‫ ܤ‬NR‫@ݜ‬ noun 1. a city in southwestern Washington, opening onto Baker Bay on the Long Beach Peninsula; formerly the site of a large Chinook village, modern-day Ilwaco was first established in 1848 by Capt. James Johnson, platted by J.D. Holman in 1872 and incorporated in 1890. According to the 2010 U.S. Census, the population was 936 Origin: Lacking an official spelling, the town was named in honor of Elowahka Jim, J.D. Holman’s Chinook neighbor and the son-in-law of Chief Comcomly, who married one of Comcomly’s daughters, Elowahka, and was commonly known by her name. Prior to the official establishment of a post office in 1876, the town was also known as Unity during the Civil War era. “The Ilwaco Railroad, which for about eleven miles ran just a good stone’s throw from the golden sandy beach that has made the area famous as a summer resort, was a product of the fertile imagination of Lewis Alfred Loomis, a business man who came to the peninsula in 1872. Loomis and his associates built a wharf at Ilwaco, organized the Ilwaco Steamship Company in 1875, and built the steamship General Canby, which operated between Astoria, Oregon, and Ilwaco.” —Thomas E. Jessett, “The Ilwaco Railroad,” Oregon Historical Quarterly, Vol. 58, No. 2, June 1957, P. 145

“The story of Ilwaco runs back to 1849 when Dr. Elijah White, realizing that Oregon City was too far from the sea to be a seaport, decided that a place near Cape Disappointment could be built into a future metropolis.”

Matt Love is author/editor of 12 books about Oregon. They are available at all coastal bookstores or through www.nestuccaspitpress.com. He lives in Astoria.

COLUMBIA BAR

4 Spirits Manhattan By RYAN HUME Boasting one of the most striking views on the riverfront, and a mad chorus of sealife to boot, beer is obviously king at Buoy Beer Company and for good reason. Though since expanding into a full bar last May, Buoy has also concentrated on offering basic cocktails with fresh ingredients and locally sourced spirits, like Bar Pilot Vodka, when available. The addition of 4 Spirits Bourbon Whiskey to a classic Manhattan places

the provenance of this particular drink closer to Astoria, Oregon, than Astoria, Queens. Now, while technically 4 Spirits Bourbon is mashed, distilled and later imported into the state from Indiana, it is further aged and tinkered with at the 4 Spirits distillery in Adair Village, Oregon, which donates a minimum 10 percent of all proceeds from the sale of the whiskey to various in-state veterans’ charities.

Ingredients 2 ½ ounces 4 Spirits Bourbon Whiskey ½ ounce sweet vermouth Ice Dark cherry for garnish Directions Rinse a cocktail glass with water and ice to chill. Shake liquid ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker until cold. Strain into a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry. —Recipe courtesy of Monica Hernandez, Buoy Beer Company
