‘The Grid’ author Gretchen Bakke How did Lewis, Clark Fort Clatsop? to speak at Clatsop college library pick Author to examine ASTORIA — The Library at Clatsop Community College will host a reading and discussion by author and former Astorian Gretchen Bakke at 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 21. Beer, wine and light snacks will be available. In her new book, “The Grid: The Fraying Wires Between Americans and Our Energy Future,” Bakke unveils the many facets of America’s electrical grid. An engineering triumph of the 20th century, this omnipresent but seldom-noticed apparatus is turning out to be a poor fit for the present. As power plants and transmission lines continue to age, the number of power outages is increasing, and during these blackouts

our little batteries in our telephones, for example. And so we think that we have electricity storage. But in fact, for the grid, we don’t.” According to Bakke, we produce far more energy than we can use and far more than the grid can carry. “That’s where we see the grid as this bottleneck

between what we’ve got right now and our vision of a renewable-powered future,” she said. “It’s the grid that is the weakest link.” Bakke was born in Portland, grew up in Astoria, and currently lives in Montreal. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in cultural anthropology and has done research on several failing nations, including the Soviet Union, the former Yugoslavia and Cuba. She is a former fellow in Wesleyan University’s Science in Society Program and currently an assistant professor of anthropology at McGill University. Copies of the “The Grid” may be purchased at the CCC bookstore or at the event. For more information, contact the Clatsop Community College Library at 503-338-2462 or email at libcirc@clatsopcc. edu

dramatic story of expedition’s search for a winter camp

ASTORIA —Lewis and Clark’s arrival at Fort Clatsop contains one of the last remaining mysteries of their entire expedition. The events are so confusing that Lewis and Clark authors, from Bernard DeVoto to Stephen Ambrose, skipped over this history in their writings. What we know for sure is this: On Nov. 27, 1805 the Corps of Discovery paddled around the tip of Tongue Point and become stranded there. Ten days later, on Dec. 7, they arrived at the site of Fort Clatsop. These mysterious days will be the topic of the next In Their Footsteps free speaker series event at Lewis and Clark National Historical Park’s Fort Clatsop. At 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20, local author and researcher Rex Ziak will present “‘No account of Capt. Lewis ... I fear Some accident has taken place’: The Untold (and Unknown) Dramatic Story of Lewis and Clark’s Search for a Winter Campsite Near the Pacific.” What happened during those 10 days? Why such a long delay at Tongue Point? What was William Clark doing all that time, and where did Capt. Lewis go? Did Clark think that Lewis had been ambushed by Indians or drowned? And is it true that Lewis had given up on camping near the ocean and was preparing to build a winter camp somewhere near the Cascades? Is it also true that the existence of Fort Clatsop can be attributed not to Lewis or Clark, but instead to the

extraordinary efforts of just one individual? These questions and many more will be explored as this program retraces, day by day, this little-known local Lewis and Clark history. Ziak, who spent a decade in study, revealed these details in 2002 when his book “In Full View” was published. His writing is used today as a source of information by other scholars, including Gary Moulton, who relied on it during a recent project. Three of Ziak’s books including “In Full View” are available from the Lewis & Clark National Park Association bookstore in the Fort Clatsop visitor center. There will be a book signing at the bookstore following his presentation. This monthly Sunday forum is sponsored by the Lewis & Clark National Park Association and the park. The program will be held in the Netul River Room of Fort Clatsop’s visitor center and is free of charge. For more information, call the park at 503-8612471 or check out www.nps. gov/lewi or Lewis and Clark National Historical Park on Facebook.

Writer stakes a claim for Tibbets as ‘Oregon’s first pioneer’ Cuxtux articles grow into book about Clatsop Plains resident By PATRICK WEBB

FOR COAST WEEKEND

Labeling anyone “the first” is a dangerous business. Fact checkers make a habit of nailing any writer who makes such a claim. But Jerry Sutherland is willing to take that chance and back it up with research. “Calvin Tibbets: Oregon’s First Pioneer,” highlights a man who the author believes fits that description — the first person who traveled to Oregon specifically to settle there and make it part of the United States. If his topic sounds familiar, it’s because Sutherland’s research appeared in two editions of Cumtux, the quarterly magazine of the Clatsop County Historical Society. The group allowed him to publish his material, in a modified form, in his book and helped with photo editing and ideas. Sutherland has an Associate Degree in business from Clark College in Vancouver, Washington, and a Bachelor of Science in psychology from Portland State University. In 2013, he retired from a career designing and selling heating and air conditioning systems. His previously published work was an article about ductless heat pumps published in the Journal of Light Construction the year before. Sutherland’s mother’s maiden name was Tibbetts.

About 10 years ago, his father saw the pioneer’s name in an historical article. Although the families are not related, the initial interest morphed into general historical research. Son Jerry, who was nearing retirement, offered to help. Name spelling was a problem. Tibbets’ name appears on a monument at the Champoeg State Historical Area commemorating those who voted in 1843 in favor of forming the first American government on the Pacific Coast. However, in stone “Tibbets” is spelled with two Ts, a problem the Sutherlands encountered when they delved into archives hunting their quarry. “Tibbets’ name was spelled many ways by many people, most commonly as ‘Tibbetts’ and ‘Tibbits.’ This made searching for information about him challenging,” Jerry Sutherland said. “It wasn’t until I found documents signed by him that I knew what the correct spelling was.” The Sutherlands decided that Tibbets deserved public recognition. “The fellow seemed to have been everywhere at just the right time to help take Oregon through each event that led to American statehood,” Sutherland said. “He was never the dynamic leader, but he was there to support those who were. As they came and went, he was a common factor.” The book begins with Hall Kelley and Nathaniel

‘HE WAS NEVER THE DYNAMIC LEADER, BUT HE WAS THERE TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO WERE.’ — Jerry Sutherland author describing Oregon pioneer Calvin Tibbets

BOOK READING Jerry Sutherland will read from “Calvin Tibbets: Oregon’s First Pioneer,” at the Astoria Public Library at 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19. Wyeth, leaders in the movement to make Oregon part of the emerging nation. When Fort Vancouver leader John McLoughlin greeted Wyeth in 1832, he realized he had some competition for the region, which was the subject of a dispute involving the British, Sutherland wrote.

“Calvin Tibbets: Oregon’s First Pioneer” by Jerry Sutherland.

Portlander Jerry Sutherland researched historical figure Calvin Tibbets and makes the case for him being Oregon’s first pioneer in his new book.

Kelley was the force behind the American Society for Encouraging the Settlement of the Oregon Territory, soliciting interest in Eastern states. One taker was Tibbets, a stonecutter from Maine who was lured West as Wyeth and Kelley were digging in with their respective schemes. “Eventually, both men would fail in their ventures, but one of the men they brought to Oregon — Calvin Tibbets — stayed to make it his home and pave the way for other Americans to follow,” Sutherland wrote. “In doing so, this obscure fellow would

become Oregon’s first pioneer without anyone — including himself — realizing it.” Tibbets spent a winter at Fort Vancouver then moved south to Champoeg to farm. His North Coast connection begins when another pioneer, Solomon Smith, who was married to a Clatsop Indian princess, Celiast, moved to Clatsop Plains. Tibbets joined them and staked a claim on land adjoining the site for Clatsop Plains Presbyterian Church. He married a Clatsop and they had two children. He worked as a guide, helped set up a mill and

served as a judge. Tibbets died of cholera on an 1849 voyage and was buried at sea. His son John and daughter Grace were assisted by other families, but his $7,000 estate reportedly spared them a difficult life. Sutherland’s work includes 16 pages of reference notes, reflecting his travels viewing the Hudson’s Bay Company’s records in Winnipeg, Canada, researching at a library in Berkeley, California, and being aided by the Oregon Historical Society. He especially commended Liisa Penner and Sam Rascoe at Clatsop County Historical Society for help with research and publishing. Once he began, Sutherland was soon hooked on historical research. “I love uncovering new information about past events and people, and reading manuscripts gives me a wonderful sense of connection with people in the past who wrote the words,” he said. “Calvin Tibbets: Oregon’s First Pioneer,” by Jerry Sutherland, 62 p, 2016, CreateSpace Publishing, North Charleston, N.C., Amazon, $9.95. The book was first published as articles in the Fall 2014 and Winter 2015 editions of Cumtux, the quarterly publication of the Clatsop County Historical Society. www. calvintibbets.com

Kim Weitkamp brings humor, humanity to Raymond Girls: Ask your guy to a RAYMOND, Wash. — Kim Weitkamp is a humorist, keynote speaker, presenter, consultant, singer, songwriter, producer, entrepreneur and spoken-word artist. That’s a lot of titles — but one main thing ties them all together: story. Weitkamp is bringing that story — or two, or 10 — to Raymond, Washington, in a special afternoon appearance Monday, Nov. 21. She will be at the Raymond Theatre, located at 323 Third St., at 1 p.m. for a storytelling event. Attendance is by donation at the door, with a recommended donation of $15.

mastered the craft of blending humor and heartache, seriousness and silliness — all linked together by music. “She made me laugh, she made me cry, then she made me laugh until I cried. It was a perfect performance,” Cindy, a listener at the Lower Bran-

dywine Festival, said. As a child of exhausted parents, Weitkamp grew up enjoying the role of the middle child. Allowed to roam free in the heart of Amish country, her imagination was ripened by a life lived outdoors. She wrote and performed plays and pageants for her family, did

impersonations and comedy bits for visiting guests, and frazzled her teachers with grandiose stories In her work as a humorist, storyteller and songwriter, she has taken home an armload of awards. She has performed at major theaters throughout the U.S. and Canada and has toured the country for the last five years as one-third of the successful comedy group The Uncalled for Trio, which also features Bil Lepp (of Comedy Central) and Andy Offutt Irwin (of Disney). She created peace projects including the Peace by Piece Project, which was in collaboration with the Taubman Museum of Fine Arts and resulted in a nomination for the Governor’s Award for the Arts. Her list of accomplishments is lengthy, but she’s known for the characters, comedy and songs she brings to the stage.

Join community conversation about power, place, home and belonging Nov. 18 event is part of This Place series by Oregon Humanities

ASTORIA — “Place” is a complicated and powerful idea that informs our identities and the way we live our lives, whether we’re talking about the communities we’re a part of, the neighborhoods where we live, or the lands that people before us called “home.” Oregon Humanities is sponsoring This Place, a series of 90-minute community discussions happening across the state this fall. The

Astoria Public Library will host a This Place community discussion at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18. The talk is free and open to the public; the library is located at 450 10th St. The discussions provide Oregonians with an opportunity to explore their relationship to the places they’ve come from and the places they’re in now; to consider how communities have lost or gained land and power, and how this has affected people within these communities; to consider the history of neighborhoods, communities and the state, and how those places have changed over time; and to

explore options for meaningful engagement with their places and communities going forward. Participants will come away from this conversation with a strengthened sense of community support and collective engagement around their exploration of place, as well as a resource list and information to help them continue the conversation. This Place is part of a statewide initiative by Oregon Humanities to bring 25 conversations about place to communities across the state. These conversations will be led by trained facilitators from the fields of tribal resource manage-

ment, anthropology, conflict resolution, applied theology, natural resource management, ethnic studies, and fisheries science. For more information about this free community discussion, contact Ami Kreider at 503-325-7323 or akreider@astoria.or.us. Oregon Humanities connects Oregonians to ideas that change lives and transform communities. Oregon Humanities is an independent, nonprofit affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities and a partner of the Oregon Cultural Trust. For more information, visit oregonhumanities.org

The program starts at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in the Chinook School Event Center, 810 U.S. Highway 101. Duet and trio vocal numbers will be interspersed with the 40-person choral selections.

Pianist Barbara Bate is the group’s accompanist. Director Barbara Poulshock is well-known for her compositions and arrangements.

Every year, the Astoria Warrenton Chamber of Commerce and the city of Astoria honor a local recipient for outstanding community service.

Last year’s recipients were Judy and Gary Sivley. Chamber members and the public are invited to offer nominations, which are due by 5 p.m. Dec. 16. A committee of past award winners will select

Lewi Longmire brings roots rock, Americana to Peninsula Arts Center LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Peninsula Arts Center will host Americana musician and Northwest guitarist Lewi Longmire in concert at 7 p.m. Saturday. Nov. 19 Longmire has built a reputation as Portland’s multi-instrumentalist go-to guy. In the years since relocating to Portland from Albuquerque, New Mexico, he’s been included in shows and on recordings by many of the Northwest’s finest bands and songwriters. He’s played with national acts Michael Hurley, Victoria Williams, Dolorean, Ages and Ages, Sallie Ford & the Sound Outside, the Minus 5, and many others as well as local luminaries. Recently though, Longmire has taken all the things he learned from working with these fine performers and

has been spending his time leading a roots rock/Americana band of his own, singing his own original compositions. This group owes much to the American tradition of good songs played with high energy, deep roots and an unpretentious sense of fun.

Their sound finds the connection between the basement feel of The Band, the raspy blue-eyed soul of Joe Cocker, the desert space of Giant Sand, the “without a net” deep space improvisations of the San Francisco ballrooms, the punk abandon of The Stooges and the quiet contemplation of Neil Young playing solo. Wine, beer, and other refreshments will be available for purchase. The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Pacific Ave. N. Admission is $12 at the door or online through Brown Paper Tickets, or call Bill at 360-901-0962. Concerts benefit the Long Beach Peninsula Acoustic Music Foundation, a 501(c)3 nonprofit charitable organization.

Cash’d Out concert brings the Man in Black’s music to Raymond Johnny Cash tribute band to perform Nov. 20 RAYMOND, Wash. — A San Diego-based band, Cash’d Out channels Johnny Cash in about as close a manner to the real thing as it gets. After 11 years, hundreds of thousands of miles on the road and many more fans, those fans continually tell the group how grateful they are that Cash’d Out carries the torch of Johnny Cash. Courtesy of Sunday Afternoon Live, Cash’d Out is coming to the Raymond Theatre at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20 at the theater, located at 323 Third St. A sell-out show is expected much like the 2015 Patsy Cline Tribute. Tickets, at $20 each, are

separate from Sunday Afternoon Live season tickets and may be purchased in advance at Raymond Pharmacy, South Bend Pharmacy and the theater. They also are available by calling 360-875-5157, by emailing johnnyatsal@gmail.com or at sundayafternoonlive.org The band features Douglas Benson on vocals, Kevin Manuel on guitar, George Bernardo on drums and Stephen Rey on bass. Besides music critics anointing Cash’d Out the “next best thing to Johnny Cash,” the highlights have been many: W.S. Holland, Cash’s longtime drummer, has sat in with Cash’d Out; front man Benson has played Cash’s cherry sunburst Guild guitar; and longtime Cash manager Lou Robin had

been to several Cash’d Out shows and claimed that if he closed his eyes it was like “going back in time.” Cash’d Out has over 150 of Cash’s songs in its repertoire, including the June Carter Cash duets brought back to fame in the Oscar-winning film “Walk the Line.” The band’s live shows respectfully reference the late, great Man in Black’s Sun Records and early Columbia-era sound, combined with the energy of the classic multi-platinum live recordings from Folsom Prison and San Quentin. The group’s genuine love (and authentic recreation) of Cash’s music and its appeal to fans of all ages and musical genres makes each show a must-see event.

Merry Time Bar & Grill holds fundraiser for Pierce Christie The Malternative owner had a stroke in September ASTORIA — The Merry Time Bar & Grill will host a fundraiser silent auction and entertainment show at 7 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18 to assist Pierce Christie and his family with costs resulting from his severe stroke in September. A life-long musician and pillar of the Astoria community, Christie has mentored countless aspiring musicians through The Mallternative, his eclectic music shop in Astoria.

Author to share historical novel at Seaside library Novel set after World War II in Southern Rhodesia SEASIDE — The Seaside Public Library will host author Diana Polisensky for a presentation about her book “Whitewashed Jacarandas” at 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19. Polisensky has just returned to the U.S. from a photo safari in her native southern Africa, where she also hosted book signings of her historical novel. After her PowerPoint presentation at the library Nov. 19, she’ll discuss the era of her book: the years after World War II in Southern Rhodesia, which is now called Zimbabwe.

was still respectable on the other side of the Pond. She crossed it as a young woman, ending her career in genetic engineering “behind the hedges” at Rice University. “Whitewashed Jacarandas” is the first of a quartet of novels about a Jewish doctor and his gentile wife in the burst of development after World War II until the crisis

with Britain over the rise of African Nationalism that led to rebellion, civil war and finally the election of Robert Mugabe. Glowing reviews for “Whitewashed Jacarandas” range from London to Israel, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and of course on the Oregon Coast. “A remarkably detailed tour de force,” wrote Gerald Clarkson, a former reporter for Reuters. “An epic first book,” said Dave Bloom, an Israeli community historian. “It’s a fascinating book with

engrossing story; beautifully written,” wrote Marcella Carmen, who lived in Tanganyika. Sharon Drews of Newport urges, “Every book club should read this book.” “Whitewashed Jacarandas” remained in the top five on Amazon’s Hot New Releases for a whole month. There are many contemporary books about Zimbabwe but very few about the time when life there was full of possibilities. It’s a controversial novel about a country that remains controversial 70 years later. Tea and shortbread will be served while Polisensky signs books available for sale at Seaside Public Library after the presentation and discussion of “Whitewashed Jacarandas.” It is also available on interlibrary loan from Driftwood and Newport libraries and for sale at Bob’s Beach Books in Lincoln City and Canyon Way Bookstore in Newport.

— Johnny Unitas in a warbling falsetto caught somewhere between the pearly gates and a truck stop. Eight years ago. Before he walked away from it all. Before marriage. Before his wife’s cancer fight brought him to his knees. Before the birth of his first child chiseled away whatever remained of that almost-famous man that used to bounce around under the spotlight. Nearly a decade later, the Portland musician returns with his self-titled solo debut, a powerful roots country album that takes his gift for character sketches and deconstructions and turns the focus squarely, and unblinkingly, on himself.

Celebrate 10 years of Blue Scorcher Worker-owned cooperative puts on community contra dance at Netel Grange

ASTORIA — The workers at Blue Scorcher Bakery & Cafe are throwing a party to celebrate 10 years of business. The public is invited to come dance with them at Netel Grange on Saturday, Nov. 19. The hall opens at 4 p.m. with fresh-baked treats and non-alcoholic drinks for sale, and the dancing starts at 5 p.m. No experience is necessary — veteran caller Dave Ambrose will give instructions before the first dance to get everyone in step. Be sure to come at 5 p.m. if you’re new to contra or folk dancing. Live and lively string band dance music will be provided by John Fenton, Dan Sutherland, Larry Moore and Randy Weiss. Cost is $5 to $10 per person on a sliding scale. Children under 12 are free with adult admission. All ages are welcome, and there will be a play corner for small children.

About Blue Scorcher

Blue Scorcher Bakery & Cafe is a worker-owned cooperative located at 1493 Duane St. in the Fort George building in downtown Astoria. “We signed our lease with then-owner Robert Stricklin in June 2005, providing the leverage for him to get funding with John Berdes at Shorebank,” recalls co-owner Joe Garrison. “Back then the building was unoccupied, and many of the windows were broken out. We had to duck under police ‘Do Not Cross’ tape to walk the building with Robert.” Blue Scorcher employs 30 to 35 workers, 15 (and still rising) of whom are owners, half of which are women, and many of whom

got their training locally. For example, Deer Island native Brandon Sears came to Astoria to attend the Tongue Point Jobs Corps Center’s culinary program, interned with Blue Scorcher, and is now an owner, elected by his Scorcher peers as lead of the

kitchen department. “As with the Community Store (now Astoria Coop Grocery) before us, it’s remarkable for a rural community the size of Astoria, with the surrounding communities, to support businesses like ours — one of the many

indicators of the uncommonly fierce community spirit here,” Garrison says. “We’re carriers of a torch that was lit in Astoria by Michael and Emily Henderson at Home Spirit Bakery Cafe: handmade organic baked goods, back when it was commonly considered impossible to successfully use such ingredients commercially.” Blue Scorcher uses organic, often stoneground flours to bake pastries such as scones, chocolate croissants, cardamom almond rolls and oatcakes as well as several kinds of bread, including traditional French breads, naturally leavened hearth loaves, yeast-risen pan breads and enriched specialty loaves. The cafe serves a seasonal menu of breakfast and lunch plates featuring produce and eggs from local farmers. Blue Scorcher’s mission is three-fold: create seasonal

and sustainable foods, be a worker-owned cooperative, and foster strong community.

About the venue

Historic Netel Grange has been a central part of the Lower Columbia farming and country dance scene for decades. Located about 7 miles south of downtown Astoria alongside river, forest and working farms, the hall has been well-maintained and in regular use since it was built. During the birthday cake-cutting ceremony, dancers will get a chance to honor some of the people who kept the local farm, country dance, and grange traditions alive: musicians, callers and farmers. Netel Grange is located at 90525 Logan Road. Ride sharing will be available. Call Blue Scorcher Bakery Cafe for details at 503338-7473 or visit www. bluescorcher.coop

Local breweries do their part to give back to the community By DAN HAAG

There’s a lot of truth behind the old saying “beer is proof that God loves us and wants to be happy.” Beer has become a linchpin of North Coast economies, entire festivals are built around it and it sustains the soul on many a wet, windy winter evening. But for many of our local brewers, the beer economy goes way beyond ﬁlling and serving pints. It’s an opportunity for them to give back to the coastal communities that have embraced and supported them.

Blaser says. The best part of the evening? Fort George matches the largest donation of the night. Blaser adds that while the Fort George has always been an active community donor, the desire to establish a regular program to strengthen that giving has always been the ultimate goal. “It’s something more than just growing a big beard (for charity) or giving away gift certiﬁcates,” he says. “This is just a fun way to get everyone involved in giving.”

Drink a beer, save a fish

Sometimes helping a brewery give back is as simple as

cracking open a cold one. Such is the case with Pelican Brewing Company’s new release, Five Fin Pilsner. Released in October, Five Fin invites beer lovers to “drink a beer, save a ﬁsh.” A portion of proceeds from every barrel of Five Fun sold will be donated to the Salmon Superhighway, an effort to restore access for salmon and steelhead to almost 180 miles of blocked habitat on Oregon’s North Coast. “When we think about salmon, we think of the clean, cold, crisp ﬂowing rivers here and imagined Five Fin to mirror that,” says Jim Prinzing, Pelican Brewing’s CEO. The Salmon Superhighway

project is an intensive effort across a six-river landscape to reconnect ﬁsh populations with the habitat they need to navigate and survive. Started in 2014, the $35.8 million campaign is expected to run through 2024 to improve the habitat for salmon in 93 different locations that feed Tillamook and Nestucca bays in Tillamook County. Hundreds of barriers in streams create bottlenecks in Oregon’s coastal watersheds — most are problem culverts at road crossings that contribute to ﬂooding and road damage, along with small dams and tidegates. The best part: Five Fin can be found anywhere Pelican is sold and distributed, including Pelican’s Cannon Beach location at 1371 S. Hemlock St. Having been in the Oregon Coast brewing game for 20 years, Pelican knows the importance of impactful giving on the communities it serves, a fact not lost on Mary Jones, co-founder and co-owner of Pelican Brewing Company. “We know we are more than lucky to live and work in a place as beautiful as Tillamook County,” she says. “At Pelican, we don’t take our environment for granted.”

To that end, they have established the Giving Back Tap at North Jetty, which features a beer created just to recognize and support a local community group. This years’ beer will benefit the Friends of Willapa National Wildlife Refuge and their ongoing educational efforts. Michelle Svendsen — an avid hiker — said the pairing was a natural fit. “My husband and I love to hike, love the trails here,” she says. This past summer, the brewery held its first-ever Brews & Views Summer Hike Series, which featured a different hike in Willapa National Wildlife Refuge in July, August and September. Guides shared information

about plants, animals and current restoration efforts, and Michelle Svendsen talked about natural ingredients that can be used in brewing and cooking. The events also helped enlist interested people to sign up with the Friends program. “It was a fun way to get people out and learning about our beautiful peninsula trails and treasures as well as getting people signed up for Friends of Willapa,” Svendsen says. “So many people didn’t know what great things they are doing for the refuge and our community — not to mention the fun events they have for the members of the group.” At the end of the hike series, the Svendsens decided to create a beer celebrating the Friends’ work. The result was a light-bodied amber ale featuring pine notes from the Chinook and Western red cedar dry hop. A big part of the fun comes in naming the brew, something that participants

Pickled Fish dinner series highlights regional ingredients, chef’s skills Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

“

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

“The purpose of these dinners,” said Shelby Dodson, Pickled Fish’s baker and wife of executive chef Brad, “is to highlight purveyors in the area who are doing wonderful things.” She was introducing the Pacific Northwest Partner Dinner Series, which presents prix fixe, reservation-only dinner menus revolving around pairs of regional purveyors. The series started in November and continues through March on the first Friday and Saturday of each month. (December’s engagement features Elk Cove Winery and Starvation Alley Cranberry Farm. January’s incorporates Drink Ok Wines and Beautiful Pig Charcuterie. For further dates, partners and reservations see: pickledfishrestaurant.com.) Beyond shouting out great purveyors, the PNW Partner Series has a second reason for being — introducing the Dodsons to the North Coast. Prior to taking the reins at Pickled Fish some two-and-a-half months ago, they helmed the well-regarded Wheat + Barley in Echo, Oregon. As such, the Partner Series is an event with which to say: Hi, we’re here and we’re doing cool stuff with great local bounty! November’s Partner Series dinner was served in the rear dining room, separate from a bustling bar. (That regular dinner service continued concurrently made the event’s execution that much more ambitious.) I’ll refrain from diving into Pickled Fish’s ambiance, suffice it to say: I reveled in it — the tactile, industrial-chic design, the expansive fourth floor views and stylish modernity that, while perhaps rote in Portland, is rare and welcome on the North Coast. November’s partners were Pink Poppy Farm and North Jetty Brewing. Each of the evening’s four courses included ingredients

The first course featured a porter-braised shallot, purees of matsutake mushrooms and celery, a bacon vinaigrette, micro-greens and herbs topped with a poached egg.

from Pink Poppy and, for $12 more, eight-ounce beer pairings from North Jetty. (The base price of the dinner, sans drinks, was $55.) The first course was the only one featuring North Jetty’s beer on the plate as well as the glass. The porter-braised shallot was divine, with a caramelized skin that gave way to a melting, supple core. It was joined by purees of matsutake mushrooms and celery, a bacon vinaigrette, micro-greens and herbs from Pink Poppy, and crowned with a poached egg, which shivered and upon puncture flowed smooth silky protein. Each bite riffed on deep central flavors of the earthy mushroom puree and blunted bacon vinaigrette. The depth was creeping. It made me present, contemplative, full of wonder. The beer — a malt-y Scottish red — made sense, its bitterness an interlocking counterpoint in similar tones. Between courses, Shelby Dodson said a few words. So too did North Jetty’s brewmaster, who’d had the meal the night before. (A representative from Pink Poppy was unable to attend that evening.) The brewmaster said he’d spent significant time collaborating with the

But when the bowl of butternut squash ice cream, fennel flavored herbs (from Pink Poppy), marble-sized pecks of pumpernickel cake and candied chanterelles was placed before me, I spooned up every last morsel. Playing well with North Jetty’s coffee-tinged Semper Paratus Porter, the cake and ice cream — which I believe may have included a few drips of salted caramel — were enticingly spiced. The candied chanterelles afforded a depth and earthiness that had me remembering the first course. That I might even consider a conversational callback in coursing suggests that the Pickled Fish’s new guard is on to something special. While sheepish in front of the crowd, executive chef Brad Dodson appeared at the end of the two-hour meal. He mostly deflected, shining the light back to his purveyors. “They’re going against the status quo and helping the community,” Dodson said. “They’re the reason I came here.” With him, Dodson brought the ingenuity and technique to match.

Joint art show explores the light of the solstice ASTORIA — Artists Terrie Remington and Kitty Paino will hold “Solstice Enlightened,” a joint art show at Grace Episcopal Church’s gallery. The art show opens with a reception from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 20, where visitors can meet the artists. The church is located at 1545 Franklin Ave. The art show will run to Jan. 3. The two Astoria artists often share ideas for how to bring light into their paintings, and although their styles are different, their approach to light is the same. They both feel that when the days begin to be darker in winter, it makes it even more important to celebrate the joy of light, and they decided to call their show “Solstice Enlightened” to represent that appreciation. Remington’s work will highlight the painted sculpture technique she has refined over the last 50 years. She has been an accomplished professional artist as both her avocation and vocation for her entire adult life. She was born in New York and studied art in Arizona, California, Seattle and Madrid, Spain. Her multi-media sculptures are made of clay, natural fibers and raw linen marbleized for durability, then painted in acrylics and oil. Sealed driftwood, shells and feathers are sometimes utilized. She attempts to capture passion and emotional fire in her paintings. More information can be found at www.terrieremington.com Paino works with multi-media on canvas and paper using acrylics, watercolor and incorporating paper she’s enhanced using techniques including

marbleizing, citrasolv and washi paper. For her, the journey is the reward when painting, and she has a connection with nature that is reflected in her work. She has won numerous awards for her art, including having work in the Oregon Coast Arts Commission’s permanent collection; multiple pieces juried into “Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century”; and multiple Best of Show and People’s Choice awards at Trail’s End Art Association in Gearhart. Paino is a lifetime resident of the Oregon Coast, holds a graduate degree in art from the University of Oregon and is a retired Clatsop Community College administrator.

Get ready for a dark and stormy night Find second annual Mystery Weekend in Manzanita MANZANITA —It’s going to be another dark and stormy weekend in Manzanita during the second annual Mystery Weekend, taking place Friday through Sunday, Nov. 18 to 20. Sponsored by the Hoffman Center for the Arts, North Tillamook Library, Riverbend Players Readers Theater, North County Recreation District and CART’M, Mystery Weekend allows mystery enthusiasts to partake in a variety of activities over the three days. This year’s event promises event more twists and turns than last year’s inaugural event. According to event coordinator Madeline Olson, there’s something for everyone. “What started as a mystery book sale at the North Tillamook Library in Manzanita two years ago expanded the following year to include more mystery-related events along with additional collaborators interested in establishing a fall shoulder-season event,” Olson explained. “This year promises even more fun with more activities.” Mystery Weekend II kicks off Friday with two evening events. The Riverbend Players Readers Theater present “Dead Give Away” at 7 p.m. at the NCRD auditorium in nearby Nehalem. Admission is $15. And at 7:30 p.m. in Manzanita, the Hoffman Center for the Arts is host to a mystery movie presentation of “If There’s A Hell Below.” Cost is $5 at the door. On Saturday, activities include a mystery version of story time for children featuring the book “Where’s My Teddy” by

Plentiful gift choices for the ‘Hamilton’ obsessed By LEANNE ITALIE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK (AP) — Hamilton obsessives have had a long time to, well, obsess, but their favorite musical is spreading its wings to other locales and new, gift-worthy goodies continue to surface.

READING

“Alexander Hamilton,” by Ron Chernow. The best-seller that started it all has been out since 2005, but at 832 pages it may feel daunting to theater lovers. Presenting it as a gift may be just the needed hurdle jump. From Penguin. Too wonky? Then gift “Hamilton: The Revolution” instead. It’s the Tony-winning musical’s libretto with footnotes, photos and interviews, by the man himself, Lin-Manuel Miranda, and Jeremy McCarter. From Grand Central Publishing. Or “Alexander Hamilton: The Illustrated Biography,” by Richard Sylla. Because, beautiful illustrations. From Sterling Publishing.

LISTENING

“The Hamilton Mixtape,” by Miranda and Questlove, who executive produced the Grammy-winning cast album. Miranda has been teasing the 23-track Mixtape on social media, and it will be out Dec. 2; pre-orders started Nov. 4. It’s an ode to the hiphop roots of the show. With contributions from Miranda, The Roots, Alicia Keys, Usher, Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, Sia, Regina Spektor, Wiz Khalifa, John Legend and more. “Simply Christmas,” by Leslie Odom Jr. For the gift recipient feeling nostalgic about the original cast. This former Aaron Burr reinterprets eight holiday classics, including “First Noel” and “I’ll be Home for Christmas.” On S-Curve records.

LET BABY IN ON IT

Oh so many onesies are out there, along with cutie bite-size T-shirts and other little-fan fare with favorite characters, lines and emblems. Look for sippy cups emblazoned with the visage of the man himself in full color, along with pacifiers. For older kids, take your choice of shirts, mugs, phone cases, notebooks. We could go on. Start ’em early.

COSPLAY

Yes, Halloween is over and no, this isn’t an appeal to hardcore cosplayers here But consider Hamilton-mania the best excuse to buy someone a killer pair of knee-high boots. Plentiful, as are puffysleeve, front-ruffle shirts. A long, Schuyler-sister dress or bright green men’s suit with long coat and knickers might be a bit much, but what about those great button vests? Dig in.

LOTTERY & LUXURY

Be an online lottery sitter, especially if you can’t afford to gift actual tickets to the show. Offer to enter your extra special fan in the online Broadway ticket lottery every show day for — hey, it’s a gift — two months. That’s every day. Tickets are $10 if you win. Details are here: https://lottery.broadwaydirect.com/faq/ Considering more than 10,000 people per show do this on the regular, and only a limited number of tickets are sold this way, you should probably have another little actual Hamilton gift in hand. The show has opened in Chicago, where some hotels are offering special luxe packages that include tickets, while supplies last. Next year, the show is set to travel to San Francisco, Los Angeles and other cities. Look ahead if you’re hoping to gift tickets.

Audition for ‘A Sting in ‘It’s A Wonderful Life’ the Tale’ in Tillamook this holiday season Try out for this murder mystery satire play

TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts announces open auditions for the comedy thriller “A Sting in the Tale.” In “A Sting in the Tale,” two once-successful crime-writing playwrights are writing a blockbuster to pay off their mounting debts — or are they fulfilling their full potential by plotting the perfect murder? The nagging wife is the ideal victim, especially as she is heavily insured. It all seems plausible until the playwrights’ secretary is mistakenly killed and a stagestruck detective appears on the scene. Auditions will be held at

TAPA’s Barn Community Playhouse, located at 1204 Ivy Ave., at 6 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18 and at 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19. TAPA is looking for three men and two women, in varying ages, to fill the roles of this production. The play “A Sting in the Tale” is written by Brian Clemens and Dennis Spooner and was first present in 1982 in England. TAPA’s production will be directed by Chris Chiola. Performances will run Feb. 17 through March 5. Audition packets are available via TAPA’s website: www.tillamooktheater. com TAPA is a nonprofit community theater dedicated to providing high quality performing arts experiences through entertainment, education, and community participation.

Two local women hold fundraisers for training Buy baked goods from The Yogi Bairs this weekend SEASIDE — Lainey McMinn and Sarah Stowers call themselves “The Yogi Bairs.” These two aspiring yoga instructors want to attend a 200-hour training course that will certify them as Registered Yoga Teachers. To help them raise some of the $4,000 tuition for this month-long program, the women will be taking part in different fundraising events this weekend. The Yogi Bairs will be participating in two bake sales. One will be held from 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 17 at the

Bob Chisholm Community Center. The second bake sale will be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19 at Avamere, the assisted living facility located on U.S. Highway 101, just south of Avenue U. Raffle tickets will also be sold for the chance to win a gift basket filled with treasures from Tipton’s Home Décor in Seaside. The winning raffle ticket will be drawn on Valentine’s Day and the winner notified at that time. For more information, or to make a donation, call McMinn at 971-601-0411. You can also learn more on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/YogiBairs

at the Coaster Theatre CANNON BEACH — This holiday season, the Coaster Theatre Playhouse brings the American classic “It’s A Wonderful Life” to the stage starting Friday, Nov.18. “It’s a Wonderful Life” has become almost as familiar as Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” The saga of George Bailey, the Everyman from the small town of Bedford Falls, dreams of escape and adventure only to have them quashed by family obligation and civic duty. His guardian angel descends on Christmas Eve to save him from despair and to remind him — by showing him — what the world would have been like had he never been born and that his life has been, after all, a wonderful life.

noun 1. a ligature and symbol used to abbreviate the term, “prescription.” ℞ is also written out as the subscript, Rx, or more commonly as the double glyph, Rx Origin: Ligatures — a type of shorthand that blends

BOOK SHELF // GLIMPSE // WILDLIFE // POP CULTURE // WORDS // Q&A // FOOD // FUN two separate letters into a symbol, like the ampersand for example — arose before the introduction of the printing press around 1440 as a way for scribes, who handwrote manuscripts, to produce work or copies faster. ℞ is first noticed in medieval manuscripts as an abbreviation for the imperative Latin, recipe!, meaning “take!,” which is the command form of the verb, recipere, “to take” or “to receive.” Travelling through Middle French as récipé, around the 1580s, with the same

direct connotation, it originally retained its verb status when it entered the English language and medical jargon later. Legend has it that even the first doctor to use the ℞ symbol used it as a verb, as in the hypothetical, “℞ two and call me in the morning.” Both the word recipe and the abbreviation ℞ were originally synonymous with both the definitions of “medical prescription” and “to prepare food.” “The Veggie Prescription program — Veggie Rx, for short — allows people to get $20 worth of vouchers

“The Columbia Gorge Region is a winner of the 2016 Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Culture of Health Prize. One of the community’s successful initiatives is a “Veggie Rx” program. Veggie Rx is administered by OCFSN Member organization Gorge Grown Food Network and was developed in partnership with Lauren Kraemer of Oregon State University Extension’s Family & Community Health (FCH) program. The Veggie Rx program “prioritizes food not just theoretically or through nutritional advice, but on the ground by screening patients for their food needs,” says Sarah Sullivan, executive director of Gorge Grown.”

Rx Program,” The Oregon Community Food Systems Network, Sept. 28, 2016

“Forty organizations, including Oregon State University and the Oregon Food Bank, have teamed up to strengthen local food systems and connect growers who struggle to find markets with buyers who struggle to obtain healthful food … (The organization) is called the Oregon Community Food Systems … Jump-started with funding from the Meyer Memorial Trust, network members settled

on four primary initiatives (including the establishment of) a “Veggie Rx” program, in which doctors could write a prescription for healthful food as they would for medicine. A program in Hood River initiated by Gorge Grown allows doctors to give patients $30 vouchers that can only be used to buy fresh fruit and vegetables. In the past year, the program helped 6,500 people buy food.”
