With North Coast Chorale, sing, play and donate to food banks ASTORIA — Many in our community find it difficult to stay warm, and countless others don’t have enough to eat this time of year. For more than 10 years, the North Coast Chorale has sponsored the community Messiah Sing-Along and Play-Along to benefit local food banks. This year’s event will be held 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 26, in the Performing Arts Center (588 16th St.) in Astoria. There are several ways to enjoy this afternoon of musical enchantment. You can simply listen to the choruses and arias sung by the Chorale and soloists. Or, if you’re inclined to join in and sing, scores will be available in the lobby. Instrumentalists are also invited. Bring an instrument and “Play Along” with the accompanist to create a delightful afternoon for everyone. Though the event is free, donations of unperishable food or money are requested. Last year alone, more

than 96 pounds of food and $1,250 were raised! Everything received will go directly to Clatsop Community Action’s Regional Food Bank, which distributes to local food banks.

‘Mysteries of the Stars’

North Coast Chorale will present its winter concert, “Mysteries of the Stars,” Friday, Dec. 8, and Sunday, Dec. 10. Featuring watercolors by Jo Pomeroy-Crockett and original poetry by Karin Temple, the concert will enchant the audience with songs such as “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star,” “Catch a Falling Star” and “Rise Up Shepherds and Follow.” This musical production will be held at the Performing Arts Center. Tickets are $10 at the door, with children under 12 free when accompanied by an adult. North Coast Chorale receives support from the Oregon Arts Commission, an agency funded by the state of Oregon.

COURTESY ASTORIA VISUAL ARTS

ASTORIA — Portland musician Matt Sheehy of Lost Lander will present his show “Aberdeen” at KALA (1017 Marine Drive) 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 25. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The show, co-presented by Astoria Visual Arts, is free for AVA members, $10 for nonmembers. Seating is limited. There will be a no-host bar. “Aberdeen” is a live blurred-reality musical storytelling performance inspired by Sheehy’s travels as a forester in rural areas of Oregon and Washington. The story recalls his attempt to restart his life in the rainy, iconic logging town of Aberdeen, Washington, and his entanglements with an eccentric family next door. Characters examine cultural isolation, rural gender roles, and the sacrifice of individuality for a greater good. Casey, the family’s young mother, is a logger and breadwinner. Flood, the father, is obsessed with proving his manhood despite his fragile disposition and increasing paranoia about mysterious events in Aberdeen. Sheehy’s efforts to help result in discoveries about the nature of the multiverse and reveal hidden motives. “Aberdeen” is produced and performed by Sheehy and Stefan Nadelman, a visual artist and animator. A Q-and-A will follow the performance. Please note: This performance is a workshop. The finished version is scheduled to premiere in late 2018.

WARRENTON TEAM BEAUTIFIES

‘THE HEART OF THE CITY’ A military statue, new landscaping will enhance entrance to town By MARILYN GILBAUGH FOR COAST WEEKEND

andscape designer Beth Holland has a vision for downtown Warrenton. She sees a park-like setting where, at the town’s central four-way stop, each of the four corners complements the others. Her sketches feature well-placed trees, blossoming shrubbery and green grass. Adjacent to the Post Office and the popular Dairy Maid, and across the street from Lighthouse Park, a long-awaited bronze statue saluting U.S. soldiers from World War I onward will anchor it all. Meanwhile, benches and a few picnic tables will invite townspeople and visitors to meet and greet. All of this smack dab in Warrenton’s city center. Sound good? It does to a group of civic-minded Warrenton locals. The four-way stop is “the heart of the city,” Holland said. “The intersection resonates, and people feel that it’s an important place,” she said. “This plan is cohesive, and, with the installation of the statue being a big catalyst, when you drive or walk by, you’ll have the sense of entering a room — not a flowery room but a memorial plaza,” she said. With years of planning and planting experience, both in commercial and resi-

dential projects on the North Coast, Holland has left her mark on cities from Manzanita to Astoria. She has said that beautifying civic spaces leads to civic pride and a sense of well-being. Warrenton City Manager Linda Engbretson agrees. “The landscaping will tie Main Street in with our beautiful natural surrounds and enhance our downtown community,” Engbretson said. “I’m really excited about this project,” which will be paid for with urban renewal dollars, she added. Holland emphasized that this project is a team effort. Engbretson, Community Development Director Skip Urling, along with Oregon Department of Transportation’s Mark Buffington, Warrenton resident Bert Little, Mayor Henry Balensifer, the city and planning commissioners, Pacific Power & Light and the Urban Renewal Agency have to work together. Egos are checked at the door.

‘Get it done’

Little, a Navy veteran, is quartermaster of VFW Fort Steven’s Auxiliary Post 10580. With the support of the Auxiliary — and a promise to “get it done” to the previous quartermaster, Leroy Dunne — Little and his pals have finished, but not yet unveiled, the bronze military statue, a project in the works for more than two decades. The full structure — a 7-foot-2-inch statue standing on a 6-foot pedestal — is a tribute to everyone who has served, or is serving, in the military, he said.

Little’s wife, Debbie, played no small role in getting the statue completed. She enrolled in a grant writing class at Clatsop Community College, and, in spring 2016, the Auxiliary received a $72,020 grant from the state Parks and Recreation Department. Mark Kenny, an artist who served in the Coast Guard eight years, was commissioned to create the statue. “We wanted the monument placed so it could be seen as you come across the

bridge,” Little said. The group is planning a community-wide unveiling celebration, Little said. Until then, however, the monument is back from the foundry and sitting under wraps. “With our urban renewal program, we’ve made a lot of improvements over at the Warrenton Marina,” Urling said. “For this next phase, with Beth’s vision, we’re going to try to improve our city’s landscaping. It’s the bits and pieces it takes to make the whole.” CW

Who was Crazy Horse? DESCENDANTS OF LAKOTA WARRIOR SHARE TRUE STORY OF THEIR FAMILY ANCESTRY COURTESY EDWARD CLOWN FAMILY

ABOVE: According to Floyd Clown, Sr., no photographs were ever taken of Crazy Horse. A migrant artist sketched this drawing from a description given to him by Iron Cedar, half-sister to Crazy Horse, who upon seeing the drawing cried at the resemblance. RIGHT: Julia Iron Cedar, half-sister to Crazy Horse stands next to Amos Old Eagle Clown the day their son Moses was brought home from Europe in 1919.

By REBECCA HERREN COAST WEEKEND

ozens of books have been written about Crazy Horse rife with misconceptions and inaccuracies, filled with fiction and myths passed on as fact from book to book in the annals of American history. These sources often stress rigid beliefs about indigenous people and their culture. Over the course of 14 years, author William B. Matson documented the oral history of the Edward Clown family. Floyd Clown, Sr., and Doug War Eagle joined Matson at a book discussion and signing of “Crazy Horse: The Lakota Warrior’s Life & Legacy” held this month at the Book Warehouse in Seaside. Matson began by answering the one question he is always asked: “How did you come to work with the Crazy Horse family?” He said it began with a promise he made to his father who was dying from lymphoma — a promise to finish a project Matson’s father started years earlier. “My story starts before I was born when my dad was in the 7th Cavalry of George Armstrong Custer during World War II,” Matson said. “They used to ask him, ‘Who won the Battle of the Little Bighorn,’ and he answered, ‘the Indians did.’ And, that was the wrong answer.” Though his father never elaborated further, he was punished for his response. After the war, Matson’s father researched the Native American side of history and wanted to write a book through the Native voice about what really happened at Little Bighorn, Matson said, “but life got in the way.” Matson’s father died before he got that chance. Matson, who intended to make a documentary of his father’s project, met with hard lessons about American history and the culture of Native Americans. His research led him to Eugene Little Coyote, who told Matson during a phone conversation he did

have stories to tell about Little Bighorn.

‘Open your heart’

Matson went to Montana to meet Little Coyote, but before he would share the stories, he took Matson to the library, said, “Read these” and walked away. And so he read, from a historical point of view. Matson noted what he read “did not make sense or come together well.” His second contact took him to South Dakota. However, the meeting never took place because, as Matson said, “He stood me up.” With time on his hands, he drove to Bear Butte, a sacred mountain, to think of a different approach because the historical one wasn’t working. He began climbing and, as he put it, “being a white guy, all the spirituality happens at the top.” Half way up, according to Matson, his father spoke to him and said, “Open your heart,” which meant “I needed to know the spiritual side or I wouldn’t know the whole story.” Once Matson read the spiritual aspect he’d missed from all those books, it all came together. But to get the story, he needed to know the families and earn their trust. He first met Doug War Eagle, one of the three administrators of the Crazy Horse estate. “We were expecting you. [They] told us you were coming from the west,” War Eagle said. Matson said he didn’t know how to react, but went along with it. War Eagle told Matson the family would tell him their story, but first Matson needed to join them in a sweat lodge to determine if his heart was good — and it was.

Time for truth

From the 1930s to 2001, the descendants — or blood relatives — of Crazy Horse were in hiding. In 2001, through guidance from their ancestors, they were ready to share their story as told to them, clarify inaccuracies and put the myths and assumptions to rest. “Our ancestors told us it was now time

for the truth, time to correct everything about our grandfather and our family,” stating how all the books ever written about Crazy Horse and his family “are all wrong,” Floyd Clown said. Because Crazy Horse has no direct descendants, the Clown family is related by blood through his half-sister, Iron Cedar, who passed on their life history, including the attack on Lt. Col. Fetterman; the Wounded Knee massacre; the battles of Rosebud and Little Big Horn; and the murder of Crazy Horse at Fort Robinson. Clown also noted that Crazy Horse had a premonition of his demise 15 months before his death. It was after Crazy Horse’s death that the family began their descent into hiding and decades of silence. They were told, if anyone spoke of Crazy Horse or of members of the family, to listen, then walk away. Clown described how the family was fearful of government retribution because of incidents that transpired throughout the

years, and how they went to great lengths to remain anonymous, only to speak out when given signs by their ancestors. Though the book is a compelling addition to the works about Crazy Horse, Clown said, “It is the only one that is the truth. It is our way of ensuring everyone knows the truth about my grandfather and our family. We share our story so it remains true to the story our ancestors told, and the life Crazy Horse and his family lived.”

Time to heal

Between the two Dakota grandfathers there are 8,000 blood relatives of Crazy Horse, but it is Clown, War Eagle and another, Don Red Thunder, who are the sole administrators. They often speak at historical gatherings, national parks and book signings about their history. “When our grandfather was here, he was trying to preserve our land, our legacy to protect our ancestry,” Clown said referencing the 8.7 million acres of Black Hills land confiscated by the Act of 1877. Today, they are working on preserving their ancestral land, sovereignty and way of life. “It’s time to heal our family.” CW

COAST WEEKEND

uring the days leading up to Seaside’s Parade of Lights, Hillcrest Inn guest manager Ruth Swensen said walking into her hotel can “seem like a madhouse.” In a back room of the Hillcrest House, tables are piled with strings of lights, nutcracker hats, tree decals and a variety of other holiday decorations. Hanging off the backs of chairs are elaborately made nutcracker coats that have lights woven into the fabric, flickering on and off. Around the table, three business owners debate the merits of different-sized snowflake decals for different costumes. “I know it looks crazy, but it’s taken a lot of years for us to come this far,” Swensen said. The stockpile of holiday doodads is a snapshot of all the work Swensen and her friends put into creating the Hillcrest Inn’s float for the Parade of Lights, one of many events that make up the festival “Yuletide in Seaside,” now in its 44th year. From the day after Thanksgiving to Sunday, Nov. 26, the holiday festival, sponsored by Pacific Power, will feature caroling, a tree lighting, the Seaside Artisan Gift Fair and a parade down Broadway Street, said Brian Owen, executive director of the Seaside Chamber of Commerce. “A lot of what we do is for the tourists,” Owen said. “This is the one time we really get to touch the community.”

tribute, and we don’t always agree, but overall it’s just so much fun,” Anderson said. “When you know Ruth, you know she will always get you involved with something.”

Passing on the tradition

‘Why not?’

Swensen started participating in the Parade of Lights about seven years ago. While the float entry is under the Hillcrest Inn name, the inspiration to join came from two special guests. “I have these two girls, Hannah and Lydia, who have been staying at the Hillcrest since they were babies. Every year they have come to Seaside to see the parade,” Swensen said. “One day they told me, ‘We should be in the parade,’ and I said, ‘Why not?’ I’ve always liked to dress up, anyway.” Since then, Swensen, with the help of other community members and hotel guests, create costumes and build floats designed around the themes these two girls choose each year. This year, the girls chose to be reindeer. “We’ve had all sorts of themes. Frosty the Snowman, elves, fairy princesses,”

Swensen said. “We started with just a little wagon. Since then, one of our guests, who also loves to see the parade, gave us a trailer, which we use now. We had a bus one year, but the girls didn’t like that because they couldn’t hand out candy to people.”

‘We all love Ruth’

With Swensen are her two friends and fellow business owners, Sai Rajsavong, of Sea Sai Salon, and Alexa Anderson, of Shear Pleasures Salon and Spa, who help turn these holiday fantasies into reality. Rajsavong first met Swensen about seven years ago at a Halloween costume contest, and has since donated his time

and the tailoring skills his mother taught him to making costumes for each year’s parade participants. In keeping with the Parade of Lights theme, Rajsavong said he incorporates about 100 strings of lights total into the costumes. “I just enjoy the holiday spirit and all of the lights,” Rajsavong said. “And Ruth. We all love Ruth.” Anderson met Swensen first as a hotel guest a few years ago, when she had just come to town and was looking for a house and a job. Like Rajsavong, she enjoys leaning into the holiday spirit. “We all have different ideas to con-

With the costumes, the float and all of the organizing in between, planning for this parade takes a fair amount of time. But as the years have gone on, more and more guests have become interested in the parade. Most of her guests are the type who return to Seaside year after year, decade after decade, in the same room during the same week, Swensen said, making the hotel feel more like a transient community than a business. Several guests come specifically that week for the parade, and some even join the float’s walking contingent after they check into their rooms. Others, eschewing the spotlight, still come out to cheer on the Inn’s float, Swensen said. “Of all the things people see and remember while they are here, it’s this parade that sticks. They pass the tradition down to their children,” Swensen said. “It’s easy to put in the time when it means so much to them.” CW

Lewis and Clark’s food journal inspires Depot dinner Review and photos by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

FACEBOOK.COM/MOUTHOFTHECOLUMBIA

n their trip to the Pacific, members of Lewis and Clark’s Corps of Discovery took copious notes, documenting everything from what they saw to what they ate. From those exhaustive journals, writer Mary Gunderson assembled “The Food Journal of Lewis and Clark.” “We know when the explorers ate the last of their butter and when they first tasted buffalo,” Gunderson writes. Setting out from St. Louis in 1804, the expedition packed tons of dry goods, including flour, salt, coffee, pork, sugar, beans, lard and so on. While these rations enabled survival in leaner times, animal proteins provided essential energy for the grueling trek. “We eat an emensity of meat,” Clark wrote on July 13, 1805, “it requires 4 deer, or an elk and a deer, or one buffaloe to supply us plentifully 24 hours.” When meat was plentiful, expedition members were said to devour up to nine pounds a day — that’s nine pounds per man. And while transforming one’s body into such a high-intensity calorie furnace is almost unimaginable, the source of those meats is at least slightly tempering. Indeed, the Corps weren’t pounding pounds of fatty pig and cow, but rather loads of lean, protein-rich game like venison, elk and buffalo. Lest we describe their diet as some foodie cornucopia, it was repetitive and, at times, grim. Excluding Clark, members of the expedition ate dog when other meats were unavailable. Hardships aside, “The Food Journal of Lewis and Clark” fascinated The Depot Restaurant owners Michael Lalewicz and Nancy Gorshe. The couple began playing with similar ingredients.

part of those onions to my party and we eate of them, in the State the root is very Sweet and the tops tender.” —Clark, April 18, 1906. An opening salvo of herbed focaccia and onion marmalade, the first course was a calibration of sorts: That oily, onion-y essence, however sweetened, invoked bygone times. As with each course, it was paired with a glass of wine from the Columbia Gorge’s Ascendente Winery. Course No. 2: “I have eaten of duck in several parts of the Union and I think those of the Columbia equally as delicious.” —Lewis, March 9, 1806. And while duck breast is a staple of the Depot’s marvelous regular menu, chef Lalewicz wasn’t content with the status quo. Rather, he spent three weeks curing and smoking duck pastrami, which was served in a salad of field greens, Dijon mustard vinaigrette, crunchy roasted parsnips, candied hazelnuts and exceedingly fresh goat cheese. To the usual pastrami pickling spices, Lalewicz added paprika (a Depot seasoning favorite). The fatty, supple slices were deep and smoky, a singular sensation. (Lalewicz later mentioned he would be

enjoying duck pastrami sandwiches with the leftovers, and I fought back envy, dreaming of such depth with sauerkraut and thousand island on rye.) Course No. 3: “Dear Brother, we met with a great many Showonee and traded with them for Biar, Venison, Ducs, Tongues and Beaver Tales.” —December 18, 1805. I’ve had venison a handful of times, each prepared by the hunter who’d caught it and never by an exceptional, professional chef. Lalewicz did it simply and exquisitely, with a quick sear of herbed crust, finished in an exceptionally hot oven. The deep-hued pink stretched from edge-to-edge, looking so perfectly even as to appear sous-vided. While leaner than lean ground beef, the venison medallions were astonishingly rich, flavorful. They made me melt. My neighbor, upon his first bite, laughed out loud with joy. On the second bite he did it again. (And while it didn’t need any punching up, the pistachio pesto, too, was absolutely vibrant and extraordinary.) Indeed, the venison was, simply, one of the best bites I’ve had all year. Course No. 4: “I prosue’d a

Earlier this month, The Depot, in Seaview, hosted its annual Lewis & Clark Wild Game Dinner ($89). While hardly a note-for-note representation of what the Corps ate — as Gorshe said, Lalewicz “gourmet-ed it up” — the dinner was a marvelous, meaty celebration highlighting game rarely found in regional restaurants. Based on what purveyors can deliver, the Game Dinner’s menu changes each year. Sourcing, say, pheasant for 50-plus is no walk in the park. Even in its 14th year, the event remains a joyful, creative outlet for chef Lalewicz to work outside the Depot’s regular confines. It’s also a return to his roots. He got his start as a teenager, cooking what friends hunted around the Detroit area, Gorshe said. For her part, Gorshe shared stories of revelry as the taste-tester in the weeks leading up to the event. Each of the evening’s five courses sprung from a passage of expedition notes, connecting, however tangentially, what Lewis and Clark ate with what we were about to. Course No. 1: “The Chief Set before me a large platter of Onions which had been Sweeted. I gave

gang of elk through bogs, in maney places I sunk into the mud and water up to my hips without finding any bottom on the trale of those elk.” —Clark, December 8, 1805. The ensuing course found elk and then some. A pheasant breast stuffed with potently seasoned elk sausage, wrapped with bacon, drizzled with red wine gastrique, was a meaty melange, one that could make turducken feel inadequate. While a hair absurd, you didn’t feel like a total jerk devouring the layers, salty, sweet and tender, wrapped with a fatty ribbon. And, thanks again to the leanness — and to the creamy corn and leek succotash — you could actually eat it all. Course No. 5: “...we found a large quantity of Graze the Buff. or Rabite Berryes of which we eat freely, they are a small red berry, Sower & good to taste. we have seen them pleanty in this Country.” —Lewis, August 15 1805. It seems the Depot envisioned these many courses holistically, with an eye not only on the through line but the aftereffect. Besides the slivers of focaccia that began the evening, the meal was essentially carb-free. That strategy curbed bloating or feeling stuffed. With dessert — a bread pudding with cranberry, pear and red current glaze — carbs were reintroduced, and were all the more comforting for it. Warm, pillowy and sweet, dessert was something to cuddle up in. It put dreamland in reach, amid exhales of relaxation, satiation and gratitude. Yet, even after dessert and all those meats — duck, elk, pheasant, pig and venison — I wasn’t sleepy. I was, rather, energized, my engine revving on high-octane, low-fat game. And while — after a transportive, reverent and spellbinding five-course meal — it can in no way be called an “expedition,” I did, beneath clear, starry skies, enjoy my own little walk to the Pacific.

Learn the ‘busine$$ of art’ ASTORIA — Art schools, in general, teach the skills to develop an artist’s vision or voice. But rarely do they give students the tools to establish stability and prosperity so they can maintain the livelihood they have trained for. Coming winter term at Clatsop Community College is a 10-week course, “The Busine$$ of Art.” Registration begins November 2017. Held 10 a.m. Saturdays in Towler Hall, starting Jan. 13, the class will endow students with three major skills:

organization, self-promotion and how to find reliable sales opportunities. The twelve areas covered are: writing the artist statement; business cards; resumes; finding a photographer; portfolio arrangement; looking for a gallery, shop or showroom; applying to shows and exhibitions; writing the press release; show display; studio organization; office and shipping organization; preparing for media questions from the press. Two or more of these

specific areas are combined during the course, one day per week, lasting one and a half hours each. Every class has PowerPoint examples, hands-on activities and valuable contact information. The workbook for the course is $30. At the end of the term, students will have the tools to organize, research, promote and display their work. “The Busine$$ of Art” is suitable for 2-D and 3-D visual artists, as well as musicians, craftspeople and performers.

Sumi ink

Heather McLaughlin, who manages the printmaking studio at Pacific Northwest College of Art, will teach a drawing workshop focusing on observational drawing with sumi ink. The class, titled “Drawing as Seeing & the Acceptance of Chaos,” will be held 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 25.

running cheek to cheek in a wide shock of bright white. The body of the goose is colored in soft browns and dusty grays, with creamier down feathers on the breast and underside, and darker, more pronounced brown flight feathers on the wings. In the language of science, the species name, Branta canadensis, means “burnt goose out of Canada,” and perfectly describes this group of birds comprising seven sub-species, six of which make stop-overs or live yearround along the southwest Washington and north Oregon coasts. Though each one varies slightly, the differences center mostly on size, and only a trained eye can pick them out easily. Canada geese mate for life and return each year to the place where they were born to breed and nest. Baby geese, called goslings, take their first swim less than 24 hours after they hatch and, only one day later, will be able to dive 30 to 40 feet underwater. With flight lessons beginning between two and three months

of age, young geese prepare all summer to follow their parents on their first migration, which usually takes place when they’re only about six months old. A famous announcement for the changing of the seasons, migrations occur twice each year — in the spring and fall — and are an impressive feat of biologic engineering. In advance of the great flight, the goose’s body alters its chemical state, producing extra thyroid hormones to suddenly increase muscle mass and help cope with the physical stress of the voyage. Flying at an altitude of about 3,000 feet, some Canada geese make migrations as long

as 3,000 miles and can travel 1,500 miles in one day. Aligning themselves in a V-formation during flight, they use a technique called “drafting” whereby the lead goose breaks the headwind, giving the geese behind it a much easier ride. Because the lead position expends so much energy, the geese trade off, with the lead goose falling to the rear whenever it tires, and each goose taking a turn up front. The largest goose in the world and one of the most hunted, the Canada was thought to be nearly extinct until the mid 1960s. Little more than half a century later, the population has increased so much that many urbanized

flocks, now dependent on human interactions for food, are considered pests. Generally, a group of geese is called a “flock,” but a group of geese in flight is a “skein,” and geese on the ground may be referred to as a “gaggle,” a “herd” or a “corps.” In 2009, a US Airways flight collided with a skein of migrating Canada geese, causing complete loss of power and forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in New York’s Hudson River. Amazingly, all members of the flight survived, and the story was later memorialized in the 2016 film “Sully,” with Tom Hanks in the starring role. CW
