Talent at play in the classroom
Coastal Life Story by MATT LOVE
A monthly student and teacher open mic is ¿llinJ Astoria +iJh School with music, poetry and creativity
“
“It’s a bit of a moment to show there’s more to you than everyone thinks,” said Astoria High School junior Evan Lemmy, about his recent inspired performance of an original rock song called “Just a Taste” at the campus’ open mic. “It’s also a chance to show what matters to you and that you’re not so apathetic,” he added. Last year I started a monthly lunchtime open mic in my classroom at Astoria High School, and it quickly caught on. The idea was to create an intimate and informal space where students could perform music and poetry for their peers and teachers during school hours. For the inaugural event, I enticed (some might say “dragooned”) students into the lineup, slapped up a few posters, wrote some energetic announcements promoting the gig, lit up my classroom like an underground rock club, and then told students to spread the word. They did. 0y room ¿lled up, well past capacity, and a new campus tradition was born. On Friday, Oct. , we staged the ¿rst open mic of the 2015-16 school year, and it was bigger and better than ever with new acts and an Edgar Allen Poe impersonator reading a riff from “The Raven.” There was even free candy and cupcakes. Astoria High School boasts some extremely talented young people, and several of them have become stalwarts at the open mic. Lemmy has shaken up the room with his stellar electric guitar and bass fretwork. Junior Nate Hawkins has entertained with his acoustic guitar playing and smooth soulful vocals. Sophomore Lidija Sovulj has written and performed an original song on acoustic guitar for every event. Her plaintive “Blood and Bones” captivated the audience on Oct. 30. “I’m very emotional,” she said, “and when I play it allows me to express myself without actually having to tell anyone. That’s important to me.” Junior Dylan Hauser-Schalk has wowed his peers with beatboxing, a form of making rhythmic sounds with your mouth. To him, “performing at the open mic is a big opportunity to show

my peers that I have something to offer and that I have a talent I am committed to.” One of the thrills for me of holding the open mics is witnessing students sing, play music, or read a poem before an audience for the ¿rst time. To see them come alive as a Àedgling performer and conquer stage fright in front of their peers is something wonderful to behold. Sometimes the experience becomes transcendent for the young person. I’ve seen it on their faces and heard it in
their voices. A lot of other people have seen it, too. Over the years, I’ve started several open mic events at the schools where I’ve taught. Each one is a little different, but what distinguishes the one at Astoria High School is the enthusiastic and highly talented participation by my teaching colleagues. Andrew Fick, Scott Cuthbert, Matt Pierce, Scott Perkins, Craig Randall, Jenni Newton, and
Gordon Thomson are some of teachers who have got up on stage and performed. Students seem to get a kick out of watching their teachers do something creative that often Àies in the face of a particular teacher’s usual teaching persona. I like to think adult participation in the open mic setting encourages young people to take more risks in showing their creative sides. It also helps build a special rapport between staff and students that makes for a fun vibe around campus. As for myself performing at the open mic, I always begin the show with a pickup band of teachers and students playing (butchering) some classic three-chord rock song. I can’t play the guitar worth a lick, but that’s not the point. The point is getting up there and strumming the guitar with as much conviction as possible. “To keep on rocking in the free world,” as Neil Young so memorably put it. My opening shtick gets us all going and settled into the packed space. After my band ¿nishes, the student performers take it from there, and the music and poetry often transport everyone in the audience to magical places. To view the most recent performances from Astoria High School’s open mic, visit their YouTube channel called AHS Open Mic at http:// tinyurl.com/ahsopenmic The AHS open mic series could use a donation of a keyboard of some kind for students and teachers to use. Email Matt Love at nestuccaspitpress@gmail.com to help out. Matt Love teaches at Astoria High School and is the author/editor of 14 books about Oregon, including "A Nice Piece of Astoria: A Narrative Guide" and "The Great Birthright: An Oregon Novel."

‘Once Upon a Mattress’
T
Zany musical farce lights up the Coaster Theatre stage this holiday season
The days have grown short, the nights cold, long and mostly damp. It’s time again to hXnNer down and ¿nd delight close to home. No one’s driving to the zoo for an outdoor concert this time of year. So, in an effort to bring some lighthearted levity to a sometimes tenebrous season, “an antidote to the fall and winter blues,” says director Arnie Hummasti, Cannon Beach’s Coaster Theatre Playhouse is presenting the musical comedy “Once Upon a Mattress” as its holiday production. Those of us who can sing “The Rain in Spain” along with Henry Higgins and “Chim Chim Cher-ee” with Bert and Mary may well ¿nd ourselves mute, however, when Princess Winnifred belts out the strapping and incongruous “I’m Shy.” If you’re unfamiliar with “Once Upon a Mattress” you’ve missed some clever show tunes. Who here on the coast won’t empathize with Princess Winnifred, who hopes to escape her own “land of foggy, foggy dews?” Somedays we could sing with her: The swamps of home are brushed with green and gold At break of day. The swamps of home are lovely to behold From far away… Based upon Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Princess and the Pea,” “Once Upon a Mattress” describes the surprising candidature of Princess Winnifred the Woebegon for the hand of Prince Dauntless in marriage, a marriage all the kingdom’s young lovers wait for desperately since the law decrees, “Throughout the land no one may wed until Dauntless shares his marriage bed.” Anderson’s original folk tale, written in 1835, was a children’s story, short enough to read at bedtime. From it, decades ago, composer Mary Rodgers, lyricist Marshall Barer and writers Jay Thompson and Dean Fuller created a musical farce that, in 1959, introduced audiences to Carol Burnett for the ¿rst time. Her rollicking interpretation of Winnifred launched her long career in comedy. For, unlike Anderson’s princess, Winn-

ifred is certainly not delicate or sensitive, nor is she likely to pass conniving Queen Aggravain’s rigged test of Winnifred’s suf¿cient aristocratic sensibility: a night’s sleep upon 20 feather mattresses disturbed by a single pea. “Our Winnifred will give Carol Burnett a run for her money,” says director Hummasti of Amanda Payne, a veteran Coaster performer who played Belle in last year’s production of Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast.” Payne isn’t the ¿rst to try. Not only have Sarah Jessica Parker, in a ’90s Broadway revival, and Tracey Ullman, in a 2005 Disney television movie, played that role, but “Once Upon a Mattress” is perhaps the most frequently produced musical in America, a favorite of amateur community theaters. “If anyone’s been involved in theater over the past 50 years, they probably know this show,” says Jenni Tronier, who directs marketing and operations at the Coaster.
Judith Light, designer and creator of 23 costumes for the production, agrees. “I was talking with the young cashier in the fabric store, and she said, ‘Oh, I did “Once Upon a Mattress” my senior year of high school two years ago.’ Young people know this musical. It’s very popular.” Aftyn Garvin, a Lady-in-Waiting in this her ¿rst Coaster production, describes the show’s continuing appeal to young audiences. “Actually, I ¿nd it’s a little bit feminist, in a way. The main character Winnifred is a very strong woman who de¿es social norms.
She’s a tomboy and ¿nds love without being the sort of princess that all the other ladies in waiting are.” Don’t expect a moral, however. “It’s basically a zany, musical farce with no messages or anything,” says Hummasti. “Our intent is to give the audience a rollicking good time. We want to hear them chuckling on the way out.” Hummasti, during auditions, encouraged actors to “really chew the scenery.” None of the characters is a complicated soul. “They’re all stock characters,” says Hummasti, “but they’re interesting. All of them have their eccentricities, and I’ve encouraged the cast to play with those.” Producing a farce presents its own challenges. “Comedy is tough,” he says. “You need precise timing and visual cues, facial expressions. This cast is doing a great job. I’m really fortunate to have such talented people.” The script and song lyrics hide double entendres and absurdities that keep the audience nimble. “It reminds me of Bugs Bunny,” says Sheila Shaffer who plays the Wizard. “There is adult humor, but it’s been camouÀaged.” “Once Upon a Mattress” is director Hummasti’s ¿rst production with the Coaster Theatre. After a lifetime in theater studying, acting, teaching and directing, he still delights in the work. “Drama is an art,” he says, “non-competitive — well, after try-outs, that is — and collaborative among talented people toward a common end. It’s very satisfying.” “Once Upon a Mattress” opened Nov. 13 and runs through Dec. 20. Thursday, Friday and Saturday performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Sunday shows begin at 3 p.m. Tickets are $18 and $23, available online at coastertheatre.com or at the Coaster Theatre box of¿ce call 503- 3 -12 2.

HAMMOND — The Angora Hiking Club will meet Friday, Nov. 20 for an estuary walk and tour of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Research Station. Interested walkers should meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Fisherman’s Lighthouse Museum, located at the four-way stop in downtown Warrenton. Hikers will tour this museum, then walk a level, 3-mile path along the shoreline to the Point Adams NOAA Research Station, located in a historic building at the corner of Heceta Place. This facility was ¿rst occupied by the U.S. Livesaving Service in 1889. After many decades of U.S. Coast Guard service, the federal government in 1960 chose to use this location to support federal maritime missions-¿shing research. This facility now houses a team of NOAA ¿sheries biologists and support personnel. Their scienti¿c work includes

and includes a handbook. The master gardener curriculum provides information on botany, soil management, pruning techniques, integrated pest management and more. The classes are taught by OSU Extension faculty, veteran master gardeners and experts. Students of all ages and abilities, beginners and experienced gardeners alike, are welcome. Volunteer service is a fun time spent working on projects such as the OSU Extension Master Gardener Information Line, Astoria Sunday Market or other plant clinics, as well as hands-on gardening. The remainder of students’ community service may be spent on projects such as helping to develop a pet-friendly garden at the animal shelter, teaching high school students, and theSpring into Gardening and Winterizing your Garden events.

Indians perform a “war dance” at Shively Park for Astoria’s centennial celebration in 1911. The wooden amphitheater was modeled on the University of California’s Greek Theater. The clear cut made for a good view from the park.

My dog and I enjoy our walks in Shively Park, during which we may not meet another soul. Hidden behind one of Astoria’s reservoirs, off the road to the dump, Shively Park seems forgotten. )rom the parking lot, we walk up a long Àight of concrete steps that take us to nothing more than a set of children’s swings. The park sits on a ridge; at the top we ¿nd what appears to be the remains of a formal garden. More elegant steps end at no particular place. I wonder, where had they once led? When I looked into that question, I expected to ¿nd a prosaic answer. I found instead Astoria’s equivalent of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, and a sad story of neglect and abandonment. In 1844, John Shively settled on a land claim in Astoria and laid out a substantial portion of present-day Astoria. In 1846 he was appointed the ¿rst postmaster of Astoria, and at various times he served as Justice of the Peace and Clatsop County surveyor and road commissioner. In 1899, six years after his death, the park was named for him. The new park had a broad vista, enhanced by a clear-cut, of Youngs River and the mouth of the Columbia. The view no longer exists, but it was a major factor in the park’s selection as the primary location for Astoria’s 1911 Centennial Celebration. Encompassing 12 acres, the park was large enough for the features needed for the “Centennial Park.” Exhibit halls at Shively Park? Indeed, designed by the young, accomplished architect John E. Wicks. There were also a stadium and amphitheater (patterned after the University of California’s Greek Theater), an Indian Village, a full-scale replica of Fort Astoria, and gardens designed by Arthur L. Peck, founder of Oregon State University’s Landscape Architecture School. Peck designed the park so that the ¿rst thing to strike a visitor was the fort, complete with the “forest primeval” backdrop that had been replanted behind it. Once through the forest, one came upon
the exhibition halls, the extraordinary view, and naturalistic plantings of exotic species like purple beech and mountain ash. “Where did it all go?” you may be asking yourself. Therein lies a story of construction on a tight budget and of later neglect, but ¿rst let me tell you something of the glory days of Shively Park. In the years leading up to the centennial, Astoria was full of itself. It was a place of destiny, and the festivities were designed to reÀect that and to bring others to Astoria to ful¿ll that destiny. One hundred years later, the bicentennial was fun, but
by comparison it was a celebration of the past by a town content to slip quietly into its third century. 1911, though, that was something. Track and ¿eld world records were attempted in the new stadium, beneath the world’s tallest Àagpole. There were speedboat races on the Columbia River, and Glenn Curtiss brought his revolutionary seaplane to the aviation meet. Feather-bedecked Indians (Yakama and Nez Perce, but not local Native Americans) emerged from un-Northwestern tepees to perform “war dances” at their village or the amphitheater. Historical plays were presented (with white boys in

At the turn of the 19th century, Shively Park had a broad vista, enhanced by a recent clear-cut, of Youngs River. The view no longer exists, but it was a major factor in the park’s selection as the primary location for Astoria’s 1911 Centennial Celebration. This post card shows the front of Centennial Exhibit Hall, which was located below Centennial Park (Shively Park) above Youngs Bay. In the background, you can see Youngs River
Indian redface) and exhibits from around the nation crowded the two large halls. The centennial lasted 30 exhausting days. Then began the slow decline of Shively Park. The buildings designed by Wicks were essentially long barns behind impressive facades, wood framed and built no better than necessary. The amphitheater looked like the Greek Theater, but it was wood, not stone, as were the stadium seats. Even with constant attention, preservation would have been dif¿cult. Instead, they received neglect; the forest eventually eradicated all structures but the picnic shelters. The replica fort was turned over to the Boy Scouts in 1917, but it was deemed unsafe and torn down three years later. For a while there was a small zoo, but it was closed after poachers shot the captive deer. Something of the past may still be seen. A few of Peck’s trees remain among the regrown forest. The stairs that now lead to play equipment once led to Fort Astoria. Walk along the road on the right of the park, and you will see an enigmatic portal with the inscription “Weinhard • Astoria,” all that is left of the hotel of that name, destroyed in the 1922 ¿re. It was placed there as a “portal to the past.” Follow the road and you come across stairs leading toward the road. They don’t reach because the road has been regraded. Farther on you ¿nd more stairs. These stairways once led to the stadium and amphitheater to your right, where there is dense forest today. Continue to the far end of the park, as it exists today, and to your left are more stairs. Go up them and you will see what is left of some of Peck’s plantings. Turn to look down the stairs and across the road. That was the site of the Indian Village, and there the city plans to lease land for a 150-foot-tall cellphone tower. Once the heart of a vibrant young city, Shively Park may soon have a monument to modern community as de¿ned by the Internet. Today we interface through devices that preclude actual contact

with other human beings, and there is no better monument to this community of isolated individuals than a cellphone tower. There can be few better ways to discourage people from visiting a park. There must be a better way. Is the current generation less forward-thinking than that of a century ago? If the city decides that a tower is appropriate, must it be ugly? Could a modern Eiffel design a better tower? Could the county arts council use it to display public art? Is mitigation even possible?
Historic preservation is a byword in Astoria, but it has been limited, for the most part, to individuals and commercial projects. Astoria is often described as a small San Francisco, but we have nothing like a park at the heart of the city. Perhaps, if there is suf¿cient public interest, Shively Park will be restored, and once again be the jewel in Astoria’s crown.

IRON MOUTH
At Iron Chef Goes Coastal, the Cove served a Marionberry Pork Mole, which mingled sweet and savory flavors.
Iron Chef Goes Coastal came and went, and the Mouth of the Columbia offers up its picks for People’s Choice
S
Some 600 of you just shared a meal with the Mouth. Indeed, I was on hand at Iron Chef Goes Coastal. And since y’all got the opportunity to weigh in, voting for the People’s Choice, Best Dessert and Best Table awards, it seemed only fair that I join the party. But before ladling out my own highlights and criticisms, it’s worth noting: The charitable event raised over $40,000 for United Way. A signi¿cant portion of that came from ticNet sales ² folNs who not only wanted to watch the competition, but to sample plates from the nine participating restaurants. The eateries came from up and down the Columbia-Pacific coast, from the Cannon Beach Hardware Store and Public House to the The Cove in Long Beach, Washington, donating time and product. All deserve commendation for doing so — preparing a dish for some 600 people is neither cheap nor easy. So hats off to you all. But to paint the restaurants’ participation as purely altruistic would be a slight cover-up — there is intense advertising value in being afforded an audience of 600 hungry, food-interested folNs. As such, e[hibiting restaurants would be wholeheartedly foolish to put anything but their best foot forward. After all, this too was a competition — the ¿rst and second place winners will ¿eld a contestant in ne[t year’s Iron Chef main event. As selected by the attendees, Drina Daisy tooN top honor in the People’s Choice competition. The Cove was runner-up. The two restaurants were separated by just 10 votes. The Mouth, however, doesn’t quite agree. I appreciated the breadth of The Cove’s Marionberry PorN Mole, which mingled sweet and savory Àavors with succulent, tender, slow-cooNed meat, a darN and fruity sauce, chalNy cheese and crisp chips. It was served up in what resembled a martini glass and topped with a marrionberry, almost collapsing under its own weight. The Mouth was less enchanted, however, by Drina Daisy. To be sure: The presentation, complete with nattily-attired servers, was resplendent, a sumptuous and worthy celebration of Bosnian heritage. (The restaurant should’ve won Best Table.) Drina Daisy’s booth boasted the longest lines of the night. The Mouth, who’s had issues with the Astoria restaurant’s Àagging timeliness (see Coast WeeNend, May 14, 01 ) couldn’t help but chucNle. UnliNe its competitors, Drina Daisy offered not one 14 | November 19, 2015 | coastweekend.com
but three dishes: Goulash, Sirnica and ûevapi. They were also self-serve. The Goulash — a braised beef with carrots, bell peppers and onions — was of ¿ne, stew-liNe consistency but wildly over-salted, as if some teenage rascal had played a pranN on the chef by unscrewing the salt-shaNer lid. The Sirnica, an eggy, cheesy pastry wrapped in thin, ÀaNy ¿lo dough, was also quite salty (much liNe it is in the restaurant). I found the ûevapi a bit odd. It featured a cube of minced beef along with a raw white onion on cold white bread. Prepared differently than the traditional dish, which is cooNed together almost liNe pocNet, it was more aNin to a sandwich desperately seeNing sauce. 1ow, I Nnow Drina Daisy is beloved. And having once already heard the feedbacN after my initial, trepidatiously critical review, I can already hear the howls: “He’s got it in for Drina Daisy!” That just couldn’t be further from the truth. As with the bricN and mortar, a few minimal but thoughtful tweaNs would do wonders. The foundation is there, it’s just got a cracN or two that need sealing. Truly, all I want is for more worldly culinary traditions to ¿nd a home on the 1orth Coast, and that includes Drina Daisy. (And for those of you wondering: Is the Mouth too sensitive to salt? Nope. I compared notes with a handful of chefs and food-forward folNs at the event, and they said the same: The goulash was stridently salty.) Had I ¿lled out a ballot (alas, I did not), I would’ve put Sweet Basil’s and the PicNled Fish on top.
The Mouth was not enchanted by first place People’s Choice winner Drina Daisy, which served an over-salted Goulash, Sirnica and co l d - s a n d w i c h - l i ke Ćevapi.
The Mouth would have liked to see Sweet Basil’s Cafe, which served a rich Chicken Tchopituoulas, on top in the Iron Chef People’s Choice competition.
Of everything I tried at Iron Chef, Sweet Basil’s ChicNen Tchopituoulas — roasted buttermilN brined chicNen thighs and Cajun mashed potatoes in a chanterelle cream sauce — offered the most richness per square molecule. Swimming with heavy creams and the chanterelles, it tasted downright e[pensive. Named for a street in New Orleans, Tchopituoulas is a Cajun dish of French bloodlines. And I must add I’d love to see Sweet Basil’s chef John Sowa, who studied under one of the original celebrity chefs, Paul Prudhomme, compete in Iron Chef Goes Coastal. PicNled Fish’s Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding was satisfying in a different way — a
mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com
comfort with perNy ]est. It was simultaneously smooth and tangy. Warm, pillowy and hearty, it encompassed a traditional bread pudding with hints of e[quisite, sharp spicing. It included a savory blacNberry sauce, fennel, coriander jam and boletus dust (that’s from a mushroom). PicNled Fish’s Bread Pudding was liNe a party of old friends where a few new ones showed up and everyone got along swimmingly. Otherwise, I quite enjoyed Cannon Beach Hardware’s Curry Clam Chowder, which split the difference right down the middle and had just the right NicN of spice. I found the Bridgewater Bistro’s pineapple PorN Mojo under-seasoned and the plantains mushy. As an Italian eatery, Fulio’s decision to serve an Asian-inspired bite with teriyaNi and wonton cracNer was a head-scratcher. But it paled in the shadow of the trainwrecN that was Maggie’s on the Prom, who whiffed wholly on an attempt at molecular gastronomy. (The interactive science e[periment, however, did win them “Best Table.”) Regardless of whether or not the eye-droppers created noodles before our eyes (they did, though quite unsubstantially), the encapsulating DucN Consommé had to be worthwhile and it wasn’t — it tasted more liNe luNewarm tap water and beef stocN. That Maggie’s even tried performing out of the bo[ says something about food on the North Coast — not as much as the rest of the e[hibitors, mind you, or the Iron Chefs on Main Stage, who created dishes that were fully e[periential, meant not only to looN at but to nourish and enjoy. Indeed, food on the North Coast is on the rise.
TAPA teaches ‘Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks’ with new play TILLAMOOK — The Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts and Oregon Coast Dance Center present the play “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks,” written by 5ichard Al¿eri, directed by Chris Chiola and produced by Diane Cross. In roles originated by Uta Hagen and David Hyde Pierce, this two-character comedy opens as an aging, but still formidable woman hires an acerbic dance instructor to give her lessons in St. Petersburg Beach, Florida.
Antagonism between the two gives way to friendship. As Michael, the dance instructor, takes Lily by the arm, they both transcend fear and mortality while the sun sets on the last dance. This international hit play has wit, sarcasm and touching moments between the two characters. Playing Lily and Michael are Ann Harper and Robert Buckingham, respectively. Both actors have been in many TAPA productions, but “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” is the ¿rst time either has had to
formally dance on stage. “Dancing has added an additional layer of complexity to the show that I hope audiences enjoy,” says Chiola. The actors had to learn ballroom dances including the cha-cha and tango with the help of Oregon Coast Dance Center’s Lisa Greiner, along with Wally and Diane Nelson. “Six Dance Lessons in Six Weeks” runs at 7 p.m. Nov. 27, 28 and Dec. 4, 5, 11 and 12. It also has two Sunday matinees at 2 p.m. Nov. 29 and Dec. 13.
Tickets are on sale at Diamond Art Jewelers, or call 503-842-7940. Reserved seating is recommended. Tickets are $15. This show deals with adult themes and has some adult language. Celebrating 35 years in Tillamook, TAPA is a nonpro¿t community theater dedicated to providing high-quality performing arts experiences through entertainment, education and community participation. TAPA’s Barn Community Playhouse is located at 1204 Ivy St.

SEAVIEW, Wash. — Come to the Sou’Wester Lodge at 8 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 21 for some good old-fashioned country music from Jenny Don’t & the Spurs. This Portland trio has been making its own brand of roots country music since early 2012. The core members of the group — Jenny Don’t, Sam Henry and Kelly Halliburton — bring something from their own extensive musical backgrounds to the table to create a rich musical tableau. Following in the wake of its two vinyl singles, the band’s debut self-titled album continues in the tradition of its signature sound, evoking the spirit of lonely desert roads, longing hearts, and star-¿lled skies over sweeping Western landscapes. While the sound of the group is original and draws from deep wells of personal experience, the band pays stylistic homage to

Kickass Coffee By RYAN HUME
NW word
By RYAN HUME
John Day
It must indeed be fall because bartenders have started offering me coffee drinks again. With an impressive woodstove in one knotty-pine corner, Morgan’s Long Beach Tavern always seems prepared for the colder weather. The bartender assured me that the LBT moves a lot of these kicked-up confections. Quite similar to a BFK (baileys, frangelico and kahlua) Coffee the addition of boozed-up whipped cream is a welcome touch. As any pastry chef will tell you, you can’t go wrong with sweetened, vanilla-laced crème soused with a little hooch. As legend has it, one night the LBT ran out of frangelico, the hazelnut liqueur, and replaced it in this recipe with Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. Substitute at your own risk. Ingredients: 1 part Frangelico, plus an extra splash 1 part Bailey’s Irish Cream 1 part Kahlua Freshly brewed coffee Whipped cream Directions: Pour liqueurs into the bottom of a glass mug. Top off with coffee and a froth of whipped cream. Then drench the whipped cream with an extra splash of Frangelico. Serve with a straw and a spoon. —Recipe courtesy of Pamela Jewell, Morgan’s Long Beach Tavern, Long Beach, Washington Submitted image

“For a good many years there was a station on the railroad just west of the mouth of the John Day River in Sherman County called John Day, but due to confusion in shipments, the name was changed to Day. Similar difficulties with John Day station at the mouth of the John Day River in Clatsop County resulted in a change to Van Dusen, for a well-known county family.” —Lewis A. McArthur, Oregon Geographic Names, Sixth Ed., Oregon Historical Society Press: 1992. P. 451

cause its banks were reportedly the site of the robbery where Day and Ramsay Crooks were left unclothed. Another theory claims that after Day went mad in Astoria in 1814, he was buried near the river, though this has been widely discounted as his death would be recorded three more times in subsequent years.

John is one of the most commonly given Biblical names dating back to John the Baptist and emerges from the Hebrew y’hohanan, meaning “Jehovah has favored.” Day originated in English as dai around 1200, having developed from the Old English
dæg as noted in Beowulf in 725 and originally only applied to the daylight hours. It later took on the meaning of an entire 24hour cycle. It is not known how so many place-names came to honor a relatively minor pioneer, though the city of John Day, in Grant County, in Eastern Oregon, speculates on its website that he “must have been an outstanding man.” It is known that the county park and unincorporated community in Clatsop County are named based on their proximity to the river and that the river — which Lewis and Clark noted had a Indian name, Kekemarke, but which they called the Lepages River, and was also known for a time as Swan Creek — took on the name of John Day be-
“The Indians now debated heatedly among themselves — apparently over whether to kill [Ramsay] Crooks and [John] Day…. Crooks and Day slowly turned, starting to walk back upriver, expecting at any moment to be killed. But when they dared look back the Indians instead were preoccupied in divvying up the clothing and other items they had stripped from the pair of white men. They walked naked, upriver, for four days. They spent four nights without fire trying to sleep naked in the chill of early spring.” —Peter Stark, Astoria, Harper Collins, New York: 2014. P. 235
“Fortunately Mr. [David] Stuart met with some Indians accustomed to trade with Astoria. These undertook to conduct John Day back to the factory, and deliver him there safely. It was with the utmost concern that his comrades saw the poor fellow depart; for, independent of his invaluable service as a first-rate hunter, his frank and loyal qualities made him a universal favorite. It may be as well to add that the Indians executed their task faithfully, and landed John Day among his friends at Astoria; but his constitution was completely broken by the hardships he had undergone, and he died within a year.” —Washington Irving, Astoria, Clatsop Ed., Binfords & Mort, Portland: 1951.
