The Lewis & Clark Trail Series includes three different exhilarating events along beautiful trails through for-

Lewis & Clark Trail Series takes place at 10 a.m. Saturday. Come for either an approximate 5K or 10K course that features the Kwis Kwis Trail. The 10K run will include a two-mile stretch of brand new trail. The start/ finish line will be at the Fort to Sea Trail parking area off Fort Clatsop Road. Allow

time to park at one of the Fort Clatsop Visitor Center parking lots, check in at the visitor center, and then hike 0.5 miles of the Fort to Sea Trail to the starting point as a warm-up. Pre-register in person, or register that morning from 9 to 9:30 a.m. The cost to participate is the purchase of a $10 Annual Park Pass that grants entry into all of the 2015 Lewis & Clark Trail Series events. Registration is free with any pass that

allows entry into national parks. Participants younger than 18 also need their parent or guardian to sign the registration. The Lewis & Clark Trail Series is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association, which supports park education and interpretative activities. The other events in the series are scheduled for June 20 and Sept. 26. For more information, call the park at 503861-2471.

spring Oregon beach cleanup CLATSOP COUNTY — On Saturday, March 28, thousands of volunteers will mobilize across the state to scour beaches for wayward litter and debris washed in from winter storms. From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., SOLVE welcomes volunteers of all ages to join together in clearing the entire Oregon Coast of trash. Register at one of 45 beach cleanup sites at solveoregon.org or by calling 503-844-9571, ext. 332. Local Oregon beaches include: Fort Stevens Columbia River Beach, Fort Stevens Peter Iredale Beach, Sunset Beach, Del Rey Beach, Gearhart Beach, Seaside Beach, Cannon Beach, Laneda and Ocean avenues in Manzanita, and Nehalem Bay State Park. A recent study published in the journal Science indicates that about 8 million metric tons of plastic are entering the ocean globally each year, the equivaOHQW RI ¿YH EDJV RI WUDVK IRU HYery foot of coastline in the world. With this number on the rise, the impacts on the ocean and coastline are high. “Because plastic debris does not biodegrade, but instead breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces, it continues to be a major threat not only to Oregon’s wildlife, but also the health of our communities,” said SOLVE Program Coordinator Joy Irby. “Each year thousands of marine mammals, turtles and ¿VK DUH NLOOHG DIWHU WKH\ LQJHVW

groups, schools, and others to become lifelong stewards and make a difference for Oregon. Volunteers at this year’s event are encouraged to bring old colanders or kitty litter scoops to sift the tide lines for tiny plastic pieces, harmful to local wildlife. Bags and gloves are provided, but bringing reusable gloves and buckets is encouraged to reduce the amount of plastic waste. Safety is the top priority, and volunteers are urged to keep an eye out for sneaker waves, stay off logs near the water, steer clear of sea lions, look out for signs and ropes limiting beach access around snowy plover nesting areas, and refrain from touching hazardous items like oil drums. The Spring Oregon Beach Cleanup is made possible by coordinating sponsors Oregon Parks and Recreation Department and Local Coast Garbage and Recycling Haulers; major sponsors Fred Meyer and the Oregon Department of Transportation; supporting sponsors Howard S. Wright, Northwest Natural and The Standard; and media sponsors K103 FM and KOIN 6 News. SOLVE is a statewide nonSUR¿W RUJDQL]DWLRQ WKDW EULQJV people together to improve our environment and build a legacy of stewardship. Over four decades, the organization has grown from a small, grassroots group to a national model for volunteer environmental action. Today, SOLVE mobilizes and trains tens of thousands of volunteers across Oregon to cleanup beaches and rivers, and restore watersheds. Visit www.solvoregon.org for more information.

Bach to the future The CCC Performing Arts Center wishes Johann Sebastian Bach happy birthday Saturday, March 21 with a special organ concert performed by Paul Tegels

S

Saturday, March 21 is the birthday of one of the world’s most revered composers, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). It also happens to be World Organ Day. So, Partners for the PAC have organized a celebratory concert of Bach-centric music for organ on the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center’s historic Estey Opus 1429 organ, by organist Paul Tegels. Tickets are $25 at the door and at Brown Paper 7LFNHWV 7KH Âż UVW WKULOOLQJ JRRVH EXPS LQGXFLQJ notes may be heard at 2 p.m. sharp. Lasting fame eluded Bach until decades after his death, but his Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (the scary organ music in “The Phantom of the Operaâ€?) is embedded in popular culture, recognizable to most and a testament to the music giant’s enduring genius. Tegels will perform Bach works along with compositions of composers ZKR ERWK LQĂ€ XHQFHG WKH ELUWKGD\ ER\ RU ZHUH WKHPVHOYHV LQĂ€ XHQFHG E\ KLP $OO SOD\HG D UROH in Bach’s star rising to such lofty heights.

I played the piano (and was) the only one around with keyboard experience. In the beginning I wasn’t in love with the organ as much as thrilled about sitting behind it.â€? He got his own church key and for years — from middle school all through high school — he’d stop in and practice for an hour or two before going home. “I was motivated,â€? he recalls. “I never questioned this; I’m lucky that way.

Expect the musician to offer insights into Bach and program offerings, though the master’s compositions will dominate. Tegels marvels, “People associate him with the organ and organ music, but he composed for pretty much every instrument and genre except opera (despite being a great admirer of Vivaldi’s arias). In his later life, (Bach) was conducting a small orchestra in Leipzig that played for special occasions — he had to write a cantata for every Sunday for years.â€? 7KH SURJUDP LVQÂśW Âż QDO DV RI SUHVV WLPH EXW other featured composers will include Dietrich Buxtehude, Felix Mendelssohn and Bert Matter of the Stedelijk Conservatory in The NetherODQGV D PDMRU LQĂ€ XHQFH IRU 7HJHOV ZKR ZDV a student there. Buxtehude was an important German composer of the mid-Baroque period. In 1705, Bach, who was 20, walked from Arnstadt to LĂźbeck — more than 250 miles — to meet Buxtehude (the pre-eminent organist in town), hear him play, and, as a young Bach explained, â€?to comprehend one thing and another about his art.â€? Mendelssohn wrote several works for organ. “One of them was based on a Lutheran hymn,â€? reveals Tegels. “I’ll be playing that SLHFH WR KRQRU KLP DV D NH\ Âż JXUH LQ UHYLY ing interest in Bach’s music almost 60 years after his death. His resurrecting of Bach’s ‘St. Matthew Passion’ helped ensure Bach’s popularity for centuries to come.â€? “(Matter’s piece) incorporated Bach ideas into chorale preludes within a contemporary jacket,“ as his former student characterizes the work. “One, prelude (or verse) is based on a Lutheran hymn (very Bach like) and starts with holding down two keys simultaneously so you get this continuous, ethereal sound and then keep on playing against that. Bach wouldn’t have dreamed of doing that, but the piece is a nice change of pace and still in the thinking of Bach.â€? Tegels will share the stage part of the time with young violinist virtuoso Joseph Galle. “(Galle’s) a real prodigy, and I’m very excited he’s joining me,â€? Tegels says. “He’ll do Bach’s Fugue in G Minor, a solo work, which the composer wrote for both violin and organ solo. It’s nice to put them side by side; they become completely difference pieces. You’ll recognize it as the same piece,

but it sounds so different.� This concert is at the PAC for the PAC. That means it’s on offer to help raise money for the continued operation of the facility as a venue for affordable public arts and educational offerings.

Visit a museum

Astoria and its environs boast some of the most specialized and interesting museums in the region. And it’s not often you get to visit a museum wholly dedicated to the life of one strange rich coastal family — the Flavels. Every tour of their former mansion in Astoria makes for an experience not unlike reading a thick Gothic novel or a thin Edgar Allen Poe tale.

Ride bumper cars

The bumper cars in Seaside are nothing less than a bumpy ride back in time to the happy, carefree, Spring Breaks of the past. For a mere $2.50, climb in, strap in, and hit the gas! Find some unsuspecting novice going the wrong way or stranded in the corner and go for the kill. It feels good. It feels like victory. And there’s no way to sanely use your phone during the experience. That’s a three-minute Spring Break of the Mind right there.

Become a Mermaid

There is something mysterious, sensual and antediluvian about mermaids. Why not become one for an hour, day or week? Why not escape into myth and legend? Sea Gypsy Gifts in Astoria offers hand-crafted mermaid costumes that might just revolutionize the heart of anyone who wants to don one.

There it is: A new seafood restaurant in the area appeared, or you finally noticed the Italian joint on a drive to work that looks inviting but you’ve never given it a try. Now is the time. Break out of your boring culinary routine and experiment with a locally owned restaurant. Nobody wants to go with you? Go by yourself! Combine this meal with the companion-less movie outing and create the ultimate solo, three-hour Spring of the Break of the Mind.

Take a long walk in rain

It’s Spring Break on the coast; it will be raining. When it does, advance into it. No umbrellas. No phones. Walk forever. Something astonishing will happen. You may not even know what it is. Rain is like that.

Go to the beach and build a driftwood fort

When was the last time you went to the beach and had a hand in building a driftwood fort? If you can’t recall or have never experienced this sublime and magically tactile activity, you are missing out on something wonderful. This is especially true for adults cut off from nature or meaningful collaboration. Constructing a driftwood fort doesn’t cost a cent, materials are easily obtained, the workout is decent, the ocean is your subconscious architect, and you are making cosmically ephemeral art, shelter and fun at the same time. Fort Stevens State Park is one of the best places in the world to build driftwood forts. Recruit friends or family and make an afternoon out of it. Go there now! The wood is waiting for you.

FALAFEL

A food processor turns falafel into an easy weeknight meal By J.M. HIRSCH AP Food Editor Falafel is one of those easy weeknight meals I rarely think to make, but when I do I feel like a dolt for not doing it more often. That’s because falafel — pan-fried patties made from chickpeas, onions and a mess of delicious seasonings — are

healthy, speedy and versatile. They can be served any number of ways — as-is with a yogurt or sour cream dipping sauce; stuffed into a pita pocket with onions and tomatoes; even wedged into a grinder and topped with tahini. They also adapt well to ZKDWHYHU ÀDYRUV \RX SUHfer. Though I like the classic combination of cilantro and

cumin, you could ditch those for Italian or Indian seasonings. Cooking methods can vary, too. Tradition calls for deep-frying, but I never do that. I prefer to fry them in just a bit of oil in a skillet. You also could lose the frying entirely and bake them in the oven. This recipe mixes things up just a bit, adding lightly chopped cashews for a creamy

ÀDYRU DQG GHOLFDWH FUXQFK ,W also adds a bit of smoked paprika for depth and just a dash of hot sauce. J.M. Hirsch is the food editor for The Associated Press. He blogs at http://www. LunchBoxBlues.com and tweets at http://twitter.com/ JM—Hirsch . Email him at jhirsch(at)ap.org

Spicy Cashew Falafel Prefer to do these in the oven? Arrange the patties on a lightly oiled baking sheet and bake at 425 F for 10 to 12 minutes. And if you’re not into spicy, feel free to leave out the hot sauce. Start to finish: 30 minutes Servings: 4 1 cup plain Greek yogurt 3 tablespoons tahini 2 tablespoons lemon juice 4 scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts) 4 large plum tomatoes, finely chopped Kosher salt and ground black pepper 1 medium red onion, quartered 4 cloves garlic 1/2 cup fresh cilantro 1/2 cup fresh parsley 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained 1/2 cup cashews 1 to 2 tablespoons hot sauce, to taste 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika Zest of 1/2 lemon 2 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil Directions: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, tahini and lemon juice until smooth. Mix in the tomatoes and scallions, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. To make the falafel, in a food processor combine the onion, garlic, cilantro and parsley. Pulse until the onion and herbs are finely chopped, but not pulverized. Add the chickpeas, cashews, hot sauce, 1 teaspoon of salt, the cumin, paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and lemon zest. Pulse about 7 to 8 times, or until the chickpeas and cashews are finely chopped, but not ground.

Divide the mixture into 12 walnut-sized balls, then use your hands to form each into a tightly packed 2-inch patty. In a large nonstick skillet over medium, heat the oil. Add the patties, working in batches if needed, and fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until browned and crisp. If working in batches, keep the finished falafel warm in a 200 F oven.

ASTORIA — Astoria artist Sarah Hendrickson has been chosen to be the founding participant in Astoria Visual Arts’ Artist-in-Residence Program. Hendrickson, an emerging artist, is known locally for her drawings, paintings and sculptures. She is heaYily inĂ€uenced from growing up in a small town in the heart of the Cascades, where she spent much of her time e[ploring Ă€ora and fauna found in the wild. She continues these explorations via her work, which takes form at the intersection of nature and imagination, where the “real worldâ€? collides with the worlds we see and experience with our mind’s eye. Subjectivity and an absence of dictatorial expression deÂżne the parameters ² so much so that viewers of the same work often walk away with different, highly personal interpretations of the piece. “I like to think of my art as falling into the choose-your-

own-adventure genre, as oftentimes each viewer of a single piece has a different, yet somehow concrete interpretation of it,â€? wrote Hendrickson in her application essay. “My work is personal, coming from an unavoidable DNA of memories of real places and real feelings; and dream places and dream feelings.â€? During the three-month residency, which runs April 1 through June 30, Hendrickson will be able to work unencumbered in an art studio in the Astoria Downtown Historic District provided by AVA, with Dots ‘N Doodles providing some needed art supplies. “Sarah was chosen as AVA’s Âżrst artist-in-residence based on her creative ability and the artistic quality of the work she submitted. The committee also considered her readiness to engage with and beneÂżt from the residency experience,â€? said Darren Orange, chairman of the AVA a-i-r Selection Committee.

“The residency attracted a competitive Âżeld of very talented artists, so we on the committee had our work cut out for us. But we unanimously agreed that Sarah’s work is distinctive, engaging and worthy of our support and are delighted to offer her this opportunity.â€? AVA a-i-r is designed to encourage the creative, intellectual and personal growth of emerging artists. While no exhibition, publication or performance is required of the selected artist, community responsibility includes a weekend open studio event before the end of each AVA a-i-r session. AVA was founded in 1989 as a nonproÂżt membership organization to enhance, strengthen and promote the arts in the greater Astoria area. For more information about AVA or to learn about upcoming AVA a-i-r dates and application deadlines, visit astoriavisualarts.org

‘Dead Ringer’ opens in Tillamook theater TILLAMOOK — Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts and Cyndi Lewis, Rob Trost Real Estate present “Dead Ringer,” written by Gino DiIorio and directed by Robert Buckingham. Opening Friday, March 20, “Dead Ringer” is a dark comedy set in an abstract Wild West. This wickedly twisted curiosity of a play was a winner in the 2005 BBC International Playwriting Contest and has been called a “winning combination of film noir westerns” by The New York Times. The play centers around Tyrus Cole, a horse trainer, who lives on a ranch with his invalid sister, Mary. Because he can’t watch her during the day, Tyrus confines Mary to a root cellar. When Dwight Foley arrives at the ranch seeking help with his horse, he and Mary fall in love and begin plotting the demise of Tyrus and their eventual escape. Their plan escalates, and in the end, the three find themselves trapped in a complex web of greed and secrets. This production is intended for mature audiences only.

Characters

One of Christie’s strengths as a storyteller is her ability to create a memorable, well-developed cast of characters, said Ellen Jensen, who plays Jacqueline de Severac. “Every character is very VSHFLÂżF DQG HYHU\ FKDUDFWHU LV GHÂżQLWHO\ XQLTXH DQG PRWLYDWed in their own way.

plays Simon Mostyn, a penniless newlywed. Alderman also designed the lighting for the play. Trapped in a small space, the comedy and tension among the characters escalates. Then “they start killing each other,� Jagodnik said. “It would still probably be entertaining without the murder ... just not as much,� Jensen quipped. In “Murder on the Nile,� the river and the setting are practically characters in themselves, Tronier said. Christie “brings the romanticism of the 1920s, 1930s Egypt to life.�

have-nots were blurring, and there were people who liked that and people who didn’t.� The Miss Ffolio-Ffoulkes character, played by Jean Rice as “dripping with silliness and a kind of kookiness,� is “very concerned about everybody’s position and who is lesser than her — and she’s not afraid to show it,� Tronier said. “Even the Communist character who wants equality is still demeaning toward people who are ‘lower’ than him,� Jensen said. The class structure is “so ingrained in them.�

Social significance

Each actor has had to overcome at least one challenge with his or her character. For McCall, it was having to act subservient. For Sweeney, it was mastering a convincing Germanic syntax. For the happily married Amie Fipps, it was playing a bachelorette. But for the entire cast, who has been living with the material since December, the biggest challenge will be “re-

‘Every character is very specific, and every character is definitely unique and motivated in their own way. It’s a lot of human nature.’

Thoughtful viewers may enjoy Christie’s take on the social structure of early 20th century England. “It’s really common in a lot of English plays of this period that some, if not all, of the tension comes from class and social standing,� Tronier said. “English aristocratic society was breaking down ...

membering it’s brand new to the audience, and we have to bring it fresh every time we do it and not allow ourselves to remember where it ends. We have to be in each moment as it develops,� Sweeney said. This is true of every play, of course, but, “in a mystery especially, it’s more of a distinct challenge in some ways not to play the outcome.� But even after the audience knows the outcome, that doesn’t mean the entertainment value of the play has diminished. After all, knowing who the killer is can make for a new experience the second time through. “Hey, I’ve been entertained, and I’ve seen it quite a few times,� Tronier said, laughing.

Five Minutes With ... WESTERN HAUNTS Q&A by RYAN HUME Spend some time loitering with Western Haunts. Coast Weekend asked Jake Witt, of the Seattle-based band, about the group’s trajectory and what to expect from their two live shows at the Adrift Hotel, in Long Beach, Washington, on March 20 and 21. Find more Western Haunts at westernhaunts.bandcamp.com for streaming and purchase. Over the course of five releases, Western Haunts have been progressively moving from its twangy, alt-country roots toward a richer, more atmospheric sound. In what ways has this layered expansion changed the way you approach a live performance? We’ve always had a lush sound really. On the first records there were a lot of multi-part vocal harmonies with a lot of hall reverb. Our challenge was to try and recreate that live without monitors feeding back or pissing off our sound

man when we wanted the mix to be a little spacier. Our shoegaze and psyche influences are definitely more present on our later records. We’ve really fine-tuned our live show dynamics and blend effects in a way now where we all feel pretty comfortable and free to just play. At Adrift we usually play two sets. The earlier set features more songs off our earlier records, which seem to suit folks having dinner better, and the later set is mostly new stuff. We love playing Adrift, but it’s definitely more of an intimate

live experience than when we play around Seattle. Your 2012 music video for “A Zealot Sun,” directed by your frequent collaborator, artist Harold Hollingsworth, reads like a love letter to your home base. How has Seattle’s music, culture and landscape informed the direction of Western Haunts? I had grown up listening to and loving artists like CSNY, The Band, a lot of Laurel Canyon artists, like Joni Mitchell, and classic artists like The Mammas and The Papas. When Western Haunts started, originally called silOHs, there was kind of a common zeitgeist in the music scene in Seattle where a lot of those influences were being embraced again. Everyone in the band is a transplant. My brother and I are from Ohio, Sam is a Hoosier and Mike is from the Bay area. We all love the Pacific Northwest, but the video was really Harold’s vision. He was really into experimenting with tilt-shift video and thought that the song would be a nice backdrop for some of the beautiful footage he was taking around the city. Which artists haunt you? What influences are you chasing? Lately it’s been a lot of New Wave ‘80s artists for me, like Peter Gabriel and Kate Bush, Psychedelic Furs, Echo and the Bunnymen and “Boy”-era U2. Some of which may make it into some of the songwriting on the upcoming EP. Bands like My Bloody Valentine, Ride, Slowdive, have always been a constant, though, as well as some vintage and classic artists like Neil Young and Pink Floyd. Considering the liner notes on “The Ambas-

sador” and “Utøya” EPs, your songwriting in part seems motivated by current events and attitudes. How does what’s happening in the world influence the shape of your work? I’m not very good at writing party songs. Usually, I feel, like lyrically, I’m at my best when it’s heavier themes or lyrical imagery that has a message or voices a concern that I have. Songwriting is always a good outlet for me to get that stuff out, especially considering the rest of the time I’m usually telling dirty jokes or talking about Cincinnati sports or the Cavs’ Big Three. You are in the process of recording a new EP for a late spring/summer release date. What forces are motivating this new cycle of songs? A lot of the influences I mentioned above musically. Lyrically, this one is kind of a mix of themes — some personal, some more politically driven. A lot of imagery about belief or faith in fallen institutions. Culture clash and the income gap. Overcoming adversity and trying to take risks and stay inspired. You know, real heady Dad Rock stuff.

noun 1. Ophiodon elongates: Neither a true ling or cod, this slender, tasty fish is caught off the coast of the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. and Canada, often by hook and line, and is, taxonomically, a member of the greenling family Origin: Ling: Middle English, lenge, lienge, later, ling, possibly related to long through the Germanic as an adjective. Also associated with “organ,” as in organ ling (first published in 1499). Cod: Of unknown origin, but this word is often linked with the Old English, codd, meaning, “bag,” and has been used to describe anything from the husk of a vegetable seed-pod to the mammalian skin sheathing a male’s testicles (see codpiece) to the human larynx and stomach. It is generally understood, without conclusive evidence, that the codfish, of the North Atlantic, received its name from the same reference, resembling a “bag-fish.” According to the Oxford English Dictionary, lingcod is especially American and first referenced in publication in 1955 by Dawson in Ahoy There! in the line from P. 205, “Besides salmon, we catch cod…ling-cod.” Merriam-Webster places the first known use at 1940. “The forgetful public was enlightened for a day last Summer by statements in the papers about fish and prices at Yaquina. A fisherman held our attention a moment to ask why he only got 1 cent a pound for lingcod and rockfish, which were paying 15 cents for here. Mr. Burke, a wholesaler who handled these fish and did something to reduce the local price, claimed that he paid 1 ½ cents per pound for them on the dock of Yaquina.” —John Gill, “More Not Eaten Because Cheap,” The Morning Oregonian, Wednesday, Feb. 20, 1918, p. 10
