‘World War II on the Oregon Coast’ exhibit opens

Presentations

Cannon Beach History Center hosts historians, authors, documentarians CANNON BEACH — On Dec. 7, 1941, citizens across the nation heard the shocking news: Pearl Harbor had been attacked by Japan. World War II had begun. No matter how small the town, the repercussions of war echoed across the nation. Cannon Beach and other coastal towns were no exception. The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum will open its latest exhibit, “World War II on the Oregon Coast,â€? Friday and Saturday, May 22 and 23 with two presentations by local historians, authors and documentarians. 7KH ÂżUVW SUHVHQWDWLRQ ZLOO take place at 7 p.m. Friday, May 22 by Alisha Hamel, who will talk about Oregon’s role during World War II. Hamel is a member of the Oregon National Guard’s historic outreach program and is active-

ly involved with the Oregon Military Museum. She is well known for her acclaimed documentary “The Jungleers� about the 41st Infantry division’s role during World War II. Saturday’s presentation will be at 7 p.m. by Professor Ellen Eisenberg who will present her latest book, “The First to Cry Down Injustice? Western Jews and Japanese Removal During WWII.� Eisenberg has taught in history since 1990 and holds the Dwight and Margaret Lear Chair in American History at Willamette University. She teaches courses on American history: the Civil War, American social history, American Jewish history, American immigration history, the 1960s, Reconstruction, the Holocaust and a research seminar called “History in the Archives.�

The Cannon Beach History Center & Museum and the Oregon Historical Society will offer the next presentation at 7 p.m. Friday, June 12.

Jackalope Saints bring folk energy to the Fort ASTORIA — The Jackalope Saints will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, May 24 at the Fort George Brewery, 1483 Duane St. All ages are welcome, and there is no cover charge. Duplicitous, the wilderness speaks half-truths; it calls and goes silent. The Jackalope Saints’ stories are similarly mysterious. From the experience of singer-songwriter Clinton Herrick, the Saints’ music preaches the folklore of wild America. Herrick’s imagery is elemental — wind and stone, bone and dust — but the lyrical detail guards more than it reveals. Sun-bleached teeth and a shadowed gun-

A garden landscape teems with wee living things. A score of surprising birds and winged insects decorate a simple wood box. Soon time passes unnoticed. Somebody go get Dad. Harmon’s gallery at the upper end of Laneda Avenue is a new undertaking for her. She enjoys the encouragement and experience of her son, Sam, and his wife, Kathryn, artists, too, who have run a number of galleries over the years, including d’Arte in Manzanita and Hands of the Tide in Nehalem, pop-up galleries that took advantage of temporary advantageous leases in buildings between tenants. But Amanita is no popup. Two years ago, Harmon moved from Nehalem to Manzanita, where she found a house on Division Street, across from the Hoffman Center for the Arts, with showroom space on Laneda Avenue — perfect for her gallery. Harmon is well positioned for a long stay. She lives and paints in the back. Pays no business rent. Hires no help. She gets her art for mostly free, and people are charmed by it. “The arts are a part of people’s everyday life here,â€? offers Sam. “We have really good patrons here.

While the event is a swan song for Fox’s career in the Northwest, it’s an encore — once again — for the Raymond Theatre’s historic organ that dates back to 1928. The organ has recently undergone a massive tune-up, and it supports a new one-rank chest, which will be installed prior to the performance, Steele said. Last month, Fred Beeks and Dick Morrison, members of the Puget Sound Theatre Organ Society, replaced a regulator top and drained about three gallons of water out of a PVC wind line. They returned after three days of work to set the pressures on the solo side.

“This is a small pond, and there are a lot of artists in our midst,â€? says artist Rebecca Read, speaking of Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula. There aren’t many art galleries in the area, though, which means there is room for one more. Enter the new ArtPort Gallery, which opened May 2. Read is one of 11 artists participating in the cooperative gallery. The idea originated with Ilwaco artist Marie Powell, who had seen successful “popupâ€? galleries on her annual trip to New Zealand. She suggested to her friend Penny Treat, a Long Beach painter, that the idea might work in Ilwaco. Treat is something of a community organizer, with extensive involvement LQ QRQSURÂżW RUJDQL]DWLRQV DQG DV VKH and Powell began talking to other artists, the gallery concept soon moved beyond the pop-up stage. ArtPort was born, and a collective of artists began to coalesce around the idea and the location. “Recruiting the artists happened organically,â€? Read says. “We wanted a good mix with a blend of styles and media, both two-dimensional and three-dimensional.â€? They wanted diversity, and they wanted artists to grow in their art through the sharing of each other’s knowledge and experience. The result is that at ArtPort you will find paintings, jewelry, pottery, calligraphy, and prints by experienced practicing artists. There are also things you won’t find. “We’re a fine art gallery,â€? says Treat, explaining the absence of “craftâ€? items and photographs. Seaview, Washington potter David Campiche says he was attracted to the group by the, “communal nature of the gallery, friends sharing the responsibility and making the economic equation more viable.â€? It is also, he says, “fun to exhibit with friends you know and respect in a quiet and uncluttered space. You feel part of a family.â€?

ArtPort is in the process of becomLQJ D QRQSURÂżW RUJDQL]DWLRQ DQG DV a part of that process its artists have developed a mission statement that goes far beyond the exhibition of art. ArtPort intends to “support the art and culture of the regionâ€? not only through the operation of the gallery, but also by connecting “the community with artists and the visual arts through a variety of artistic and educational opportunities.â€? This means that community outreach is part of the ArtPort agenda, and the gallery will sponsor work-

shops, Read says, “by members and guests artists for people who want to know more about art and art as a business.� There will also be youth development activities and guest speakers to support the professional development of artists. “We want to be part of Ilwaco’s business community, and we will be building partnerships with other businesses,� Read says. As an example of such partnerships she points to Envision Ilwaco, a group of citizens who sponsored a day to

“spruce up� Ilwaco in March, including artists painting two murals on the old Oddfellows Building. Read also looks to a less competitive and more cooperative business paradigm, quoting the aphorism, “a rising tide floats all boats.� The ArtPort artists didn’t have far to look to find a location for the gallery. There was a large space available next to Marie Powell’s Ilwaco gallery. It looked out on the Port of Ilwaco, and with artist Don Nisbett’s gallery a few doors down, the addition of a

third gallery would immediately result in an art enclave, a destination for arts aficionados. Each of the three galleries has its own personality, so visitors will find a range of artistic expression on display. “Don Nisbett, Marie Powell and Artport are all unique,� says Read. “People will find different work in each one.� Many people see Ilwaco as a sleepy town with a pretty port; Rebecca Read sees it as a town on the cusp of change. “It’s a timing thing,� she says. It seems like this is the right time for Ilwaco to blossom. We need people to be excited, to be cheerleaders for Ilwaco.� That’s what she and 10 other artists will be doing at ArtPort. “We’ll do our best to make Ilwaco a more interesting place to live and to visit,� Read says. As for David Campiche, he simply says, “It’s nice to contribute to the community with a tasteful display of lovingly crafted art objects.�

Castaways Restaurant & Tiki Bar Drawing inspiration from across the globe, Castaways is a North Coast gem

W

While taking a few moments to make the rounds and chat with diners just before dessert, Castaways Restaurant & Tiki Bar chef and owner Josh Tuckman voiced something that’s been on my mind since even before becoming The Mouth: As restaurants in tourist destinations can be less dependent on repeat business, some drag their feet. “We don’t do that,â€? Tuckman said. He wasn’t lying. Castaways is marvelous. A splendid fusion of casual atmosphere and inspired cooking, it is one of the North Coast’s culinary gems. With a modicum of carved, Polynesian PDVNV &DVWDZD\V LGHQWLÂż HV D WLNL EDU %XW drawing regions and styles from across the globe, it is so much more. The sweet tiki drinks are paired with equally colorful, often fruittinged dishes drawing from Caribbean, Creole, Thai, French, Italian and Japanese traditions. But rather than a smorgasbord of incongruence, the menu dovetails seamlessly, the product of thoughtful curation. “I wanted to create a place that you could eat at seven nights a week,â€? Tuckman said, “where each night you could have something different.â€? He has succeeded absolutely. Castaways is equally suited for a celebratory gathHULQJ URPDQWLF UHQGH]YRXV RU VLPSO\ D Âż QH evening meal. Tucked in a tiny, repurposed home near Cannon Beach’s north entrance, Castaways is known for being tough to get a table, especially on sunny weekends. Arriving on a Thursday evening around 7 p.m. without a reservation, my companion and I faced a 20-minute wait but found a spot at the bar in the meantime. Deciding what to drink was tantalizingly GLIÂż FXOW DV DOO WKH VSHFLDOW\ FRFNWDLOV LQFOXGLQJ infusions made with local spirits and berries, made mouthwatering overtures. In observance of the tiki spirit, we went with a Hurricane ($9) and, on the recommendation of a regular, a Pineapple-Chili Margarita ($8.50). In traditional tiki fashion, each was made with a head-spinning number of ingredients, including a spoonful of sugar each (though neither was too sweet). The Hurricane was a tangy mix of rum and tropical fruit juices — pineapple, lime, tangerine — and the margarita was salty, savory and with house-infused pineapple-jalapeĂąo tequila, not too spicy. Each was voluminous and subtly strong. At the central bar the room was a bit loud, due in part to a few boisterous children, but when we got our table the decibels declined. Between sipping our cocktails and gazing at

the art, we decided to share the Tiki Salad ($7) and Honey Orange Coconut Prawns ($13.50). The salad — mixed greens, goat cheese, dried cranberries, spiced walnuts and a balsamic vinaigrette — was familiar and well H[HFXWHG D UHPLQGHU WKDW ¿ QH LQJUHGLHQWV speak well for themselves. The goat cheese was mild, the cranberries were supple, and the spiced walnuts were absolutely fresh, likely made that day in-house. The Honey Orange Coconut Prawns, meanwhile, were absolutely divine.

The dish was full of slow-cooked chicken, sweet peppers, onions, Andouille sausage (though there could’ve been a bit more) and dotted with blueberries that I initially assumed were olives. In another twist, it was served atop light Indian basmati rice (rather than a more traditional sticky blend). Together it was peppy, rich and slyly elegant.

HOURS: 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday to Sunday. PRICE: $$ – EntrÊes range from $18 to $26. SERVICE: Attentive, fun and full of information. VEGETARIAN / VEGAN OPTIONS: Sadly, this one’s for the meat eaters.

As we noshed, chef Tuckman engaged another customer. He wanted to share, but also to listen. Clearly these interactions were about more than hearing himself talk — he sought to know his customers, where they came from, what they liked and what they didn’t. He spoke too of his own inspiration. “If I didn’t want to keep learning,â€? Tuckman said, “I’d be done.â€? Fortunately for us, he’s still hungry. And, as rumor has it, Tuckman and Castaways may soon be expanding. More on that as it develops. In the meantime, I’ll be dreaming about those coconut prawns.

“The Orphans” opens Friday, May 22 at the Barn Community Playhouse in Tillamook.

TAPA opens ‘The Orphans’ TILLAMOOK— The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts presents an opening night gala celebration Friday, May 22 at the Barn Community Playhouse for “The Orphans,” a touching and funny play written by James Prideaux and directed by Chris Chiola. Every opening night ticket includes a complimentary beverage of choice and hors d’oeuvres. Tickets are $15 adults, $10 senior citizens and students, or $40 for a family of four. Call Diamond Art Jewelers at 503-842-7940 to purchase tickets. The show starts at 7 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m. “The Orphans” features ERWK YHWHUDQ DQG ¿UVW WLPH DFtors, starring Karen Martin as Lily Spangler, Karen Downs as Catherine Spangler, Jackson Morris as the Bellboy, Martin Cherry as Mr. Ervin, Val Braun as Florette and Diane Cross as Maxine. After tragedy strikes the family of two young girls, they seclude themselves in a hotel room. Lily and Catherine Spangler have lived in near isolation in the once grand Chalfont Hotel for the past 25 years where the hotel and its guests have steadily declined in stature over time. Mr. Ervin, who has handled the sisters’ affairs for years, comes to visit and warns of a claim to their family fortunes. Distrustful and afraid of the outside world, Lily must cope with 25 years of history, while Catherine

yearns to break free and explore life. This production reunites Karen Martin and Karen Downs, who lit up TAPA’s stage in 2012’s “A Fine Monster You Are.” Their onstage chemistry is warm and inspiring as the Spangler sisters. “This play is a colorful story of the love of two sisters who have faced tragedy and who now must stare down the reality of the world.

Make a splash in business journalism by joining the reporting staff of the ambitious Coast River Business Journal, located where the Columbia River and Pacific Ocean meet. This is a highly dynamic and story-filled place, where Portlanders and Seattleites come to make their dreams of coastal living come true. You should arrive here with polished writing skills, a strong work ethic and robust curiosity to delve into the professional lives of some of the Pacific Northwestʼs most creative and imaginative business people. Working in partnership with colleagues at the Chinook Observer, The Daily Astorian, Seaside Signal and Cannon Beach Gazette, Coast River Business Journal produces a monthly print publication. With your geographical beat spanning Clatsop County, Ore., and Pacific County, Wash., you can choose to live on the Long Beach Peninsula, Astoria or Oregonʼs North Coast. While this position is managed from Long Beach, you will also sometimes work from our Astoria and Seaside offices. An important aspect of this job is providing business coverage to several publications, each with a different environment. There will be aspects of breaking business news, in-depth business reporting and “main street” business news. Part of your job will be to continue ramping up our online content for timely and expansive coverage of business news. Healthcare is one of our regionʼs rapidly expanding economic sectors and we want to hear your ideas about how to cover it in ways that are useful to those in the caring professions, as well as engaging for the community members they serve. We have a rising tide of young and second-career entrepreneurs starting new craft breweries, restaurants, retail stores, galleries and online businesses. You will need to be as engaged and creative as they are. Our traditional industries — tourism to forestry, seafood to homes sales/construction, farming of everything from organic vegetables to legal marijuana — all are wide awake and gaining renewed momentum in a fastexpanding regional economy. Weʼll expect you to dig well beyond the superficial and explain where these industries are going, and why. Our coast is comfortable and still affordable. It's a place where our reporters and their families purchase homes and settle in for careers that are richly connected to the Northwest interior. Part of your job will be exploring and explaining the growing ties between our coast and the cities of Puget Sound and northwest Oregon. We offer a competitive wage, a generous benefit package, and a warm and friendly office environment in Mac-based buildings. We work hard but have fun — the ocean beach is a short stroll from our Long Beach and Seaside offices. We enjoy world-class restaurants, fantastic salmon and deep-sea fishing, amazing wildlife and bird watching, and many other outdoor activities. Portland is two and a half hours; Seattle three hours.

Email resume to: John.Moore@emeryandsons.com If you have any questions, please call John Moore at (503) 5595185. CCB #203633 Let your pockets “jingle” with extra cash from the Daily Astorian classifieds

Do you have some free time, want some extra money, or want to get out of the house, but don't want a full time career? Take a look at our 20 Hour MEMBER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE in our Warrenton branch. If you have outstanding sales, service and communication skills, cash handling experience, Windows literacy, and a flexible schedule, this position was made for you! We offer an opportunity to serve your community AND enjoy competitive wages, generous incentives, and a caring, fun work environment. To join our winning team, please apply online at www.waunafcu.org/ about-us/opportunities/ We want to know all about you. Pre-employment drug test and background check required.

The Chunnel

By RYAN HUME

By RYAN HUME

Knappa >Q S ԥ@ noun 1. A small, unincorporated community in Clatsop County situated 15 miles east of Astoria out U.S. Highway 30 on the southern bank of the Columbia River Origin: Indian word for the village on this land was Tle-las-qua. Present day Knappa takes its name from pioneer settler Aaron Knapp, Jr., who lived in the area for many years and served as the first postmaster of the Knappa office beginning in 1872. The post office was closed in 1943. “I am visiting Knappa and send some facts relative to the place, which may not be uninteresting to your readers. Knappa lies about eighteen miles from Astoria on the Oregon side of the river, on the slough. It has a very fine landing and covered wharf, owned by A. Knapp. There some seven logging camps in this vicinity, having their commercial, social and religious center at Knappa. It has a fine agricultural region in the rear, with some thirty or forty farms and three good schools well supplied with children and teachers…. Mr. Knapp says it is his intention to build a sawmill at the wharf this season, which is very much needed to supply lumber for building purposes at home, and which will help in many ways to build up the town.” —Letter to the Editor, “Knappa Items,” The Daily Astorian, Thursday, March 30, 1882, P. 3

You never know what stories you’ll come away with when you visit the Triangle Tavern in Astoria.

A GLIMPSE INSIDE An occasional feature by MATT LOVE

Over the years, I’ve gathered many a great unsolicited story in Oregon Coast bars and taverns. Many of them have found their way into my books. In fact, one of the stories, the legendary tale of a drunken Paul Newman, a chainsaw and a pool table, inspired and informed an entire book. It happened again, recently, at my favorite back table in Astoria’s Triangle Tavern. I suppose it was more of an encounter rather than a story, or maybe it’s all the same thing. I was editing my latest manuscript, drinking a Fort George Vortex, staring at the river, listening to Blue Oyster Cult’s “Don’t Fear the Reaper” on the jukebox, when I heard a man across the room ranting at the bartender. The NFL draft was blaring on television, and the man was loudly and profanely complaining about the high beer, parking and ticket prices at Seahawk games. He sounded positively Marxist on the subject of obscenely high player salaries. He was giving it to them good and even threw in the word “peon.” I absolutely loved his tirade and wrote some of his lines down. The man ended his performance by promising the bartender he’d return. He walked toward me, toward the back exit, and right as he passed, I said, “I loved your speech. It made my day.” He stopped, turned and smiled. His age was indeterminate. He was dressed in denim, head to toe. Oh, I almost forgot. He also wore a white Seahawks T-shirt. What followed was the most wonderfully brief bizarre non sequitur exchange in my life. He thanked me and said, “I’m agent 99.” “Agent 99?” I said. “Did you know that the lead singer for Quarterflash is the greatest female rock singer of all time?” “Really?” “She’s a cross of Celine Dion, Madonna and Pat Benatar. And she plays the sax!” He paused for a moment and then screamed, “Go halibut!” gave a first down signal, and bolted out the door.

Matt Love is author/editor of 13 books about Oregon. They are available at all coastal bookstores or through www.nestuccaspitpress.com. He lives in Astoria.

After opening at 5 p.m. on one of the recent beautiful spring days we have been having, the sun continued to taunt bartender Josh Baer through the open door of the Voodoo Room in Astoria. Pedestrians milled about 11th Street. Skateboarders glided down Marine Drive. With this in mind, he concocted a crisp libation he had come up with last spring for such a day. “This one’s untitled,” he said. “Would you like a name for it?” I inquired. Without another soul in the bar, he seemed game. The French elderflower liqueur and rose flower water heightened the herbaceous qualities of the English-style gin (Hendrick’s specifically is from Scotland), while the fresh lemon juice and sparkling wine added a crisp finish and some effervescence to the floral notes.

I got to thinking of other things that connected the British Isles to the continent, and I present to you, The Chunnel, named in honor of the subterranean train tunnel beneath the English Channel. Ingredients 1 ½ ounces Hendrick’s Gin 1/4 ounce St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur Juice of half a lemon Ice Sparkling wine, as needed A few drops of rose flower water* Lemon twist Directions Add all the ingredients except the sparkling wine and rose flower water to a

cocktail shaker and shake until cold. Strain into a martini glass. Top off with sparkling wine, add the drops of rose flower water and garnish with a twist of lemon. —Recipe courtesy of Josh Baer, bartender at the Voodoo Room, Astoria *Rose flower water is a distillation of rose petals. Used sparingly, it can change the flavor profile of a cocktail or custard or add a nice scent to a load of laundry. Available locally at Pat’s Pantry in downtown Astoria.
