Perry, who splits his time between Parkdale, Oregon, and Surfside, Washington, creates art with metal, a plasma cutter and electrically heated air.

The artist discusses his work with enthusiasm, “The process of my work starts from taking a design and drawing it on a piece of metal, then cutting it out with the plasma cutter. The piece is then put on the table to be ground. After the piece is ground, if color is desired, it is put in a vice to be heated. This part of the process gives each piece of art depth and dimension; it gives the metal either a harder or softer look. The piece is then welded and ground again.

Light Thieves take Voodoo ASTORIA — Light Thieves, a band hailing from Fresno, California, will perform at 9 p.m. Friday, March 27 at the Voodoo Room. Driven by distortion guitar, spacey synth, tight fuzz bass and even airtighter drums, Light Thieves produces psychedelic shoe-gaze rock with entrancing melodic and harmonic song composition likened to more rockin’ stereo lab, replete with a great vocalist.

This space rock band consists of Kaleb Saldate, Joel Melton, Erica Salazar and Mike Adame. Between the heavy and jarring rhythms, pop inspired melodies and textural soundscapes, Light Thieves present to you a sound that allows you to lose yourself in the moment, all the while realizing that you’ve been dancing the whole time. The Voodoo Room is located at 1114 Marine Drive. The venue is 21 and older only.

10 fresh ideas

Hawaiin toast.

for turning toast into something exciting By ALISON LADMAN Photos by MATTHEW MEAD Associated Press We’re not entirely sure what the difference is between a classic open-faced sandwich and the suddenly hip world of toast with toppings. Then again, maybe it doesn’t much matter. A thick slab of lightly toasted good quality bread

topped with delicious ingredients is an almost unbeatable comfort food no matter what you call it. Maybe it’s because it reminds us of when we were kids and Mom would make toast for breakfast or to have in bed when we were sick. Or maybe it reminds us of late night snacks in college. Call it what you will, eat it when you will. No matter what, gussied up toast can be a great indulgence.

Tomato butter and salami toast.

Ricotta broccoli raab toast.

10 Ideas for Better Toast Toppings Humble toast doesn’t have to be so humble. Here are 10 ways to mix up your toast routine, from super simple to almost a sandwich. Having a party? Make miniature versions and serve as appetizers. 1. Blue lime: Spread multigrain toast with lime marmalade, then sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese and cracked black pepper. 2. Ricotta-broccoli raab: Saute chopped broccoli raab in a little olive oil until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Spread whole-milk ricotta over toasted sourdough bread. Spoon the broccoli raab over the ricotta, then sprinkle with coarse salt and red pepper flakes. 3. Cashew-sprouts: Quarter a handful of Brussels sprouts and toss with olive oil. Pan-fry in a skillet until just tender. Spread a piece of toasted pumpernickel bread with cashew butter, then top with the warm sprouts and a sprinkle of Romano cheese. 4. Avocado-walnut: Top toasted herbed bread with slices of avocado. Drizzle with honey, then top with fresh chives and toasted walnuts. 5. Tomato butter and salami: Stir together 1 tablespoon softened butter with 1 tablespoon tomato paste and 1 teaspoon

capers. Spread over ciabatta toast, then top with shredded salami and torn fresh basil. 6. Pesto chicken: Slice a baguette in half lengthwise. Spread each piece with pesto. Top each with shredded rotisserie chicken, lemon zest, and fresh mozzarella. Broil until golden and melted, 2 to 3 minutes. 7. Hawaiian: Spread a toasted sweet roll or English muffin with pineapple or mango jam. Top with sliced ham, roasted red peppers and crumbled bacon. 8. Dates and goat: Spread soft goat cheese over toasted multigrain bread, then drizzle with toasted pumpkin seed oil and top with chopped dates, black pepper and orange zest. 9. Tarragon-beet: Stir 2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon and 1 teaspoon lemon zest into 2 tablespoons softened cream cheese. Spread over toasted rye and top with thinly sliced cooked beets. Sprinkle with toasted caraway seeds. 10. Anchovy and brie: Lay slices of brie over toasted brioche. Top with anchovy fillets and sprinkle with toasted pumpkin seeds and balsamic glaze.

Stomptowners bring Irish song, dance History center hosts Portland band during concert series CANNON BEACH — Looking for a raucous good time? Then look no further than the Cannon Beach History Center and Museum’s concert series from blues to jazz, rock and everything in between. The series takes place once a month January through May and features performers from the Pacific Northwest region. At 7 p.m. Friday, March 27, the museum welcomes Portland’s the Stomptowners, a dynamic group blending Irish instrumentation, voice and foot percussion. Featuring Irish dance choreographer Maldon Meehan, the Stomptowners deliver exciting choreographed Sean-nos dance and traditional song — all in one setting.

pipes interlaced with melodic, soulful Celtic songs, feisty sea shanties and a few good pub songs. Having percussive dance adds a key visual component, which sets the act apart from other traditional Irish bands.

But the Stomptowners’ audience doesn’t just sit there passively. Lead vocalist and local Liverpudlian Andrea Wild is only too pleased to lead a rabble-rousing chorus, and the foot percussionist extraordinaire will have everyone up on the floor in no time. The Stomptowners showcase a number of talented Irish musicians. Keeping a rotation dubbed “Irish musician du jour” allows the band a unique approach to stage line-up while maintaining top-notch authentic musicianship. Look out for multi-instrumentalist Bob Soper, uilleann pipe player Preston Howard, Irish bouzouki wiz Richie Rosencrans, renowned button accordion player Felim Egan, and Dublin-based banjo player Graham Nolan, a few of the fine

Ara Lee, Chris Hayes bring gospel sounds

Last Tuesday event hosts Doug Spangle

Peninsula Arts Center hosts evening of soul, blues music LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Peninsula Arts Center presents Ara Lee and Chris Hayes in concert for an evening of song, from gospel and soul to blues, at 7 p.m. Saturday, March 28. Lee, when pressed, calls herself a singer-songwriter. But the image of a wispy, soft-voiced, guitar strummer that might come to mind couldn’t be farther from what she does. Call it soul, call it folk, call it gospel, Lee sings like a woman with something to say, in a voice that makes you stop and listen, with lyrics that make you remember why you decided to be human, once upon a time. Known for her commanding stage presence, Lee’s shows, often called “musical church,� cut straight to the gut. Raised in the South in a church where instruments were not allowed, Lee grew up shape-note singing, learning to make music only with the voice. Lee explains, “Harmonies were a part of daily life. Music wasn’t music without three parts. We would sing songs from our old blue church hymnal — it was the one place where everyone could meet without agreeing on dogma.� A move to New York City as a teenager gave her the chance to use her vocal chops beyond her front

Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah will perform at the Fort George Brewery on Sunday, March 29.

Hear psychedelic gospel music Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah plays the Fort ASTORIA — Psych Americana band Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah is an organ and guitar-driven rock band whose shows transport the audience out of a traditional music venue and into a hazy, hip-shaking psychedelic tent revival. The band effortlessly slides between country, folk, blues and rock ‘n’ roll, culminating in its brand of psychedelic gospel, which the group will bring to Astoria at 8 p.m. Sunday, March 29 at the Fort George Brewery. Having recently been named one of the top five best up-and-coming San Francisco Bay Area bands by CBS, Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah have made a mark in their short time together since forming in mid2013. Based in San Francisco but comprised of midwestern and southern transplants with like-minded musical sensibilities and a devotion to honest roots-based American music, Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah weaves a sonic tapestry framed by wailing guitars, churning organ and more than a slight nod to southern gospel music. The band spent 2014 recording their self-titled

debut record and touring a good swath of the U.S. And, for the new kids on the block, the band has had the incredible good fortune of sharing the stage with such acts as The Doobie Brothers, Boston, and Living Colour. The early reviews of their debut record have ticked off influences ranging from Ryan Adams to such legendary artists as Aerosmith, the Grateful Dead, the Faces, and the Black Crowes. Gallagher’s dynamic vocal range has brought repeated comparisons to both Neil Young and Robert Plant. Lee Gallagher and the Hallelujah will spend 2015 taking their psychedelic gospel on the road with dates starting in March in the Pacific Northwest.

Spruce St. Woods’ paintings will be on display through April 10 as part of the gallery’s exhibition of contemporary western oil paintings. Her vision comes from a love of the West, enhanced by a childhood spent riding horses and playing with Navajo children while her mother worked as an anthropologist. Woods’ experiences influenced her worldview and encouraged respect for the land, animals and humans. “I would like my paintings to evoke a feeling or memory through simple compositions,” Woods said.

spired by my visit to Astoria for the 2013 show. One of the days we were there, my wife, Lea, and I hiked up a short trail behind or beside the college that led up to some sort of monument. It was a bright sunny day (apparently rare for that time of year in Astoria). All along the trail, sunlight streamed through gaps in the trees to illuminate emerald green vegetation and dew-covered spider webs, which sparkled like a million tiny rainbows. It was magical, somehow larger than life and evoked thoughts of P\WKRORJLFDO ¿JXUHV KLGGHQ behind a shallow veil of reality. Anyway, this painting of “Diana the Huntress” came from that experience. Lea and I had such a wonderful time visiting Astoria for that show.” In his artist statement McComas said, “Compositionally, I perceive art as a visual melody, which can be as simple as a song or as complex as a symphony. Somewhere in the

timate artistic desire is to in tegrate the human elemen into expressive composition that are visually compelling intellectually stimulating and engage the viewer on multiple levels.” McComas received forma academic training in the clas sical tradition at the Colora do Academy of Art and ha had the good fortune to study under contemporary master Daniel Sprick, Robert Liber Submitted photo ace, Michelle Torres and Ron “Diana,” an oil painting on linen by James Hicks.

Enters Old English as alor from the Germanic erle and a few other Proto-Germanic sources all stemming possibly from an Indo-European base that referred to the reddish brown color of the cut wood. The d intruded as early as the 14th century. The name of the tree seems to have arrived independently of alder as found in alderman, which links ald (meaning old) with the suffix –or (meaning prince) to describe a nobleman or high-ranking leader. Brook: Current spelling is dated around 1200, developing from the Old English brōc, which also referred to a fresh water stream. Alderbrook: It is not hard to infer from its location, where the trees meet the water, how the neighborhood and the cove received its name, but exactly when and by whom is unknown, although the name is referenced well into the 19th century, and it is known that the area was first settled around 1845. A Post Office was established in the area in 1877 under the descriptive name UPPER ASTORIA, though there are references to the area being called Alderbrook before this. “In 1843 J. M. Shively came to Astoria and took up a claim in what is now the heart of the city, and known as Shively’s Astoria. He was followed by Col. John McClure, who took the claim joining the Shively claim on the west, and now known as McClure’s Astoria, and A. E. Wilson, who located on the claim to the east of Shively’s claim, and now known as Adair’s Astoria. These three men and James Birnie, the trader, in charge of the Hudson Bay Company’s station, were the only white men in Astoria in 1844. Soon after this Robert Shortess located on the land now known as Alderbrook.” —Alfred A. Cleveland, “Social and Economic History of Astoria,” The Quarterly of the Oregon Historical Society, Vol. 4, No. 2, June 1903, p. 132

“The residents of Alderbrook claim that, as taxpayers in Astoria, they are entitled to the same water service and fire protection that the other sections of the city have, and contend that an injustice is being done them in depriving them of these necessities. They make a special plea for their school, which is without fire protection and without drinking water, except as it is carried from a neighboring brook, which they claim becomes warm, insipid and filthy during the summer months.” —“The Alderbrook Water Proposition,” The Daily Morning Astorian, July 4, 1899, p. 1

A GLIMPSE INSIDE

An occasional feature and photo by MATT LOVE

Beach Club Tavern Something like 30 years ago, my friends and I met a man in Seaside’s Beach Club Tavern during spring break. His age was indeterminate. His name was Larry or Wayne. I struck up a conversation with him and quickly learned that he had $10,000 stuffed into pants’ pocket and intended to blow the whole wad on a debased weekend in Seaside, provided he could create one. There was some concern about that. He had cashed a check earlier that day, a settlement for an injury suffered in an automobile accident, and was ready to party down. He bought the house a round and then walked out the door. Over the years on my infrequent visits to the Beach Club, I’ve thought about the fate of Larry or Wayne in the golden tavern era before video poker and slots forever changed the character of coastal watering holes and made them de facto tax collectors for the state. On my most recent visit, I even wondered if he was alive. If he was, I’d buy him a beer to hear what happened in Seaside that weekend three decades ago. I truly love the tranquility of the Beach Club Tavern. They don’t serve liquor, the Golf Channel plays quietly on TV, and they are probably the last joint on Earth that stocks Rainier in long neck, a kind of a holy grail brand and bottle for fans of the classic cheap Pacific Northwest beers once brewed in the Pacific Northwest by union men. The Beach Club also boasts high-backed bar stools with white fringe dangling from the armrests! You almost feel like Buffalo Bill Cody sitting in them. The Beach Club prefers it quiet, and thankfully won’t stand for profanity from its customers. A grammatical sign near the restroom reads: “I do not want to hear the F-word in here. If I have to tell you twice, you’re gone.” I appreciate that kind of vigilance for calm.

The Beach Club Tavern is locate at 14 N. Downing St. in Seaside.
