Elton Bennett art show on display in Astoria Find original silkscreens, reproductions from Washington artist ASTORIA — Elton Bennett silkscreens will be on display at an art show and sale 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 25 and from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26 at the Astoria Hampton Inn, 201 39th St. There is no art reception. The exhibit is presented by Barbara Bennett Parsons of Hoquiam, Washington, one of the artist’s daughters. Parsons has conserved her father’s art, and she plans in the future to donate a collection of original silkscreens for an Elton Bennett Museum in Hoquiam. Bennett was born in 1910 in Cosmopolis, Washington, and lived in Hoquiam until his untimely death in 1974. Grays Harbor, Washington, was his home and the source of his silkscreen renderings of local forests, beaches, rivers and the ships and boats that supplied lumber and ¿sh to the world. “My memories of my father always conjure the image of an artist reaching for sketch book and pen, a delighted expression of coming upon yet another scene he needed to record,” Parsons recalled. “Weekends were spent as a family exploring places, which would later appear in a ¿nished print.” Bennett struggled to be able to become a full-time artist
and spent many years working as a machinist at Lamb Grays Harbor, at Weyerhaeuser, and on the dredge. His artwork reÀects the working environment as much as the serene landscape. He was unusual in seeing the beauty that exists in a raft of logs or a smoking mill stack. “His work was meant for people of every economic class, and he shunned what he saw as the elitism in the art world,” Parsons wrote in an email about her father. “He deliberately placed his art in locations where people would never expect to ¿nd exquisite art: hardware stores, tackle shops, paint stores. It pleased
him to show his art in everyday places.” Bennett’s original silkscreens are cherished by those who recognize the distinct artistic style and the devotion to capturing the home he loved. His style of realistic impressionism was ideally suited to the silkscreen process. Each and every print was hand done, and no two are alike. Original silkscreens will be for sale, as well as a large selection of reproduction prints. To view the late artist’s works, visit www.eltonbennett.com. For more information, call Parsons at 360-5323235 or email barbarapar@ comcast.net

Recreation district preps for Halloween Thriller Annual event arrives a few days early Story by KATHERINE LACAZE EO Media Group Halloween spooks and scares will be coming a little early in Seaside this year, as the annual Sunset Empire Park & Recreation District’s Thriller and Fall Fun Fest are scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 25. The carnival will be held at the Bob Chisholm Community Center from 5 to 8 p.m. The Thriller Haunted House opens at 6 p.m. at the Sunset Pool. The Thriller event is a longstanding tradition of the recreation district that started about 30 years ago. It generally takes place on Halloween. In an effort to increase attendance and bring in more volunteers, however, the recreation district moved the event to Saturday this year, event organizer Rachael Bailey said. Also, when Halloween falls on a school night, parents generally don’t like keeping their children up late. “It will make it easier to have something go into the evening that is focused on
kids,� Bailey said. The plan is to keep the event on the Saturday prior to Halloween – and only Halloween itself if the holiday falls on a Saturday – from here on out. Because the event is happening six days early, the event organizers and Seaside High School students who are helpLQJ IRU WKHLU 3DFL¿FD 3URMHFWV have had to move a little faster than usual.

of its role (and is) played with a gentleness that contrasts with the high paced reels — but still retains the sparkle,� wrote Irish Music Magazine. The result is a sound at once energetic and sensitive, innovative and reverent. The Press Gang’s debut CD, released in 2010, is described as a generous helping of Irish tunes spiced with Appalachian music and original compositions, and it allowed the band to leave its mark on the storied New England Irish music scene. The group’s upcoming new album, “The Happy Days of Youth,� promises to pick up where The Press Gang left off and delve further into this living and breathing tradition.

ILWACO, Wash. — Count Valters and the Zombie Band will be haunting the River City Playhouse with a Rock ‘n’ Roll Halloween Concert at 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26. The concert will be a beneÂżt for the Peninsula Players with a suggested donation of $5. The band is the brainchild of former Ocean Beach School District music instructor Bob Walters. Walters — whose birthday is on Halloween — started by singing Halloween rock ‘n’ roll songs to his classes. Later, Walters’ sons Lucas, Evan and Burton joined their father, and they became the Count Valters and the Zombie Rock ‘n’ Roll Band. They spent some 10 years performing for local elementary schools. Count Valters and the Zombie Band is unable to continue its concerts for the schools, because Walters’ sons have graduated and grown up. This weekend’s concert gives another opportunity to watch the band and fall under its spell. Families are encouraged to attend. River City Playhouse is located at 127 S.E. Lake St.

ASTORIA — Be prepared for tales of ghosts, spirits and the supernatural as the North Coast Symphonic Band opens its 35th season with a concert at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26 at the Liberty Theater. Conductor Dave Becker has prepared an afternoon of pre-Halloween fun with music for adults and children. The family rock band Count Valters and the Zombies will perform the pre-show starting at 1:20 p.m. Becker has chosen music that is serious, challenging and fun. Themed selections on the program include “Through Darkened Sleepy Hollowâ€? by Eric Morales, “Ghost Trainâ€? by Eric Whitacre and “Graceful Ghost Ragâ€? by William Bolton. “Night on Bald Mountainâ€? by Modest Mussorgsky will be a nod to pure classical music as will “Symphonic Preludeâ€? from The Cemetery at Colville-Sur-Mer by Marc Camphouse. The NCSB will also perform James Sochinski’s “The Legend of Alcobaçaâ€? in its complete form with supertitles projected on a screen so all may follow this tale of supernatural gore. Younger audience members and the young at heart will enjoy “Highlights from Frozen,â€? a recent Disney Âżlm about the magic found in Scandinavian countries.

of Sam McGee� with original music for band that he wrote himself. La Torre has been an admirer of Robert Service’s poetry for many years and found “Sam McGee� to be easy to put to music since Service employs a strong rhythm and rhyme in his writing. Be on the lookout for numerous sound effects and dramatic music from the band. Count Valters and the Zombies formed because the Count (former music teacher Bob Walters of Ilwaco) celebrates his birthday on Oct. 31 and
eventually collected enough Halloween songs to present programs in the schools on an annual basis. In the meantime, his three sons grew up and asked to join the band as Zombies. The group has performed Halloween music together since 2004. Tickets are available at the Liberty Theater box ofÂżce or at 503-325-5922, ext. 55. Prices are $15 for adults and $7 for students.

A Story Town By Ric Vrana
At the only strip club one Friday night a dozen loggers and a dozen fishermen went at it pouring out onto Marine Drive. They closed the place for a couple of days; threatened to take away their liquor license. A block away a new development rose phoenix-like from an ancient mill; trendy town houses and a senior apartment block. They keep trying to get rid of Annie’s as if they didn’t know this was Astoria and what Astoria means.
¤ ¤ ¡¥ Astoria bistro and bar entertains with the arts
Some 15 people sat in chairs up toward the front or on stools at the bar. A few sipped beers or cocktails. The host went to the mic, introduced himself and the guidelines for the event, and then read a poem from Charles Bukowski to begin the evening. The last line went, “But as God said, crossing his legs, I see where I have made plenty of poets but not so very much poetry.” And with that pithy observation, a new cultural happening launched in Astoria. On Sept. 26, a new monthly open mic series debuted with resounding success at the Port of Call Bistro and Bar. The brainchild of Ric Vrana, poet and GPS mapping expert for the city of Seaside, the inaugural event featured 12 people performing an eclectic mix of poetry, short stories, tales, original songs on guitar, and stand-up comedy in front of an enthusiastic audience. Vrana dreamed up the 894 Commercial Street, Astoria idea for an Astoria open mic because, “I’ve long Next open mic night: enjoyed listening to and 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 30 performing in open mics 503-325-4356 and poetry readings in Seattle and Portland. I looked around here in Astoria for something like this and found not much happening. So, after making connections with other people who seemed interested, decided to organize something.” He approached James Sawyer, owner of the Port of Call, formerly the Shipyard, after reading in The Daily Astorian that

Sawyer was interested in staging open mics of various sorts. “Before he opened the place I walked in and talked to him about it. The venue is perfect. It’s important to have an open mic in a place that sells alcohol,” said Vrana. The inaugural event featured some stellar performances, including poetry by Florence Sage, a tale by Coast Weekend correspondent Ryan Hume, a couple lively acoustic numbers by Chris Grant, an original folk rock song by Kevin Violette called “Clatsop Plains,” and Vrana’s poem about Astoria (see sidebar). The next installment of the open mic series is Thursday, Oct. 30. The action begins at 7 p.m., and anyone interested in performing should arrive early and sign up to secure a slot in the two-hour program. Vra-
You walk about town never far from a bar or a surprising number of restaurants the gift of being a tourist destination. Aside from the beauty of the place its advantage is being the end of everything. Sometimes a cruise ship lands at the big pier aliens with name tags roam the streets trying to figure out what to do which is what you are usually doing too. A new Wal-Mart is coming a few miles out of town on 101. Within the commercial blocks downtown you walk with other natives shadowed from sporadic daylight, by serious, durable, conservative buildings. Pass a storefront Sears, and a JC Penney’s, by god that everyone knows will soon be gone.

I watch the river from my balcony half way up a city studded hillside the artery of life that secures this place, its opening to the world, otherwise irrelevant. You always know the phase of the tide. When it goes out, the ships point up river anchored by their bows. The drainage of North America pushes them toward the sea. When it comes in, they point outward tethered to the bottom, resisting the impulse of the swelling Pacific. Sometimes at dusk a fog obscures the Washington shore five miles across. Sky and water merge exactly the same color — huge freighters mostly empty, red waterline hulls in mute anchorage at sleepy downtown waterfront’s edge float upward into misty sky.

f you think of square dancing as a mandatory PE unit that takes place in a musty middle-school gym, think again. Square dancing is alive — and sometimes literally kicking — across the United States. Here on the North Coast, the Hayshaker Square Dance Club wants to change perceptions about the activity that has become a passion for club members. “The kids in school today, if you mention square dancing, they were so unhappy with square dancing in schools that it’s a real turnoff,� says Sylvia Davis, a Hayshaker member. But Kathy Worthington, president of the
Hayshaker club, says that a good caller makes a world of difference. “One of the problems is, the teachers that are teaching square dancing are not true callers,� she explains. “They’re reading out of a book.� While a novice caller — and novice square dancers — may focus on simple moves like dosi-do and promenade, experienced callers can orchestrate a room full of moving parts in creative ways that sometimes take even the dancers themselves by surprise. Complex sequences like “load the boat,� “cut the diamond,� and “spin chain and exchange the gears� take up to 32 beats of music and entail

The public is invited to observe for free, and also to attend a free two-hour introductory session Saturday morning to learn a few calls and steps. Hayshaker members stress that square dancing events are typically friendly and welcoming environments. “You’re always meeting new people there,� Dale Worthington says. “Even if you mess up, (or) the square breaks down or anything, nobody cares.� “It’s just like family,� Davis comments. Though the Hayshaker family itself may have grown a little smaller over the years as interest in square dancing has waned, there are some encouraging signs that indicate a continu-
ing enthusiasm for the activity. Kathy Worthington notes that there are groups of young square dancers popping up in the Portland area. (“If you’re invited into one of their squares, watch out,� she says. “It is triple time!�) And nationally, square dancing conventions still draw thousands of participants, if not the tens of thousands they attracted in times past. In an effort to bolster new interest here, the Hayshaker club is happy to offer lessons to locals, and the group hopes that non-dancers will come out for the Seaside festival this weekend, as well. “They will be surprised at how exciting it is,� Davis says. “People around here seem to think that square dancing is boring. If they go, they’ll just see the activity, because the more
squares you are, there’s just a total different feel. It’s kind of almost an electricity.� “Another thing a lot of people think is the hick-y sounds,� says Kathy Worthington. “We get modern songs,� Dale Worthington explains. “Some of them are not only country western, but even some pop. We’ve also had Michael Jackson in there, too.� Overall, while square dancing holds plenty of attraction in terms of exercise, social interaction and family-like support — “They like to hug,� Dale Worthington says of dancers, or in square-dance lingo, they like to “red rock� and “yellow rock� — the Hayshakers say that the best reason to join in on square dancing is simply because it’s a good time. “It’s just thoroughly enjoyable,� Davis says. “I just have fun.� October 23, 2014 | coastweekend.com | 15

StreetsideTACO Small-but-mighty Long Beach restaurant offers authentic Mexican food
I
Imagine that the world was going to end tomorrow. What would you want to eat today? What is your favorite food? You can only pick one. Itœs dif¿cult isnœt it? %ut after a little noodling Iœve de cided the one food I could eat all day any day on my last day is tacos. 'elicious authentic 0e[ican tacos. 6imple Eut Àa vorful and in my opinion the ultimate comfort food. $s a taco a¿cionado I have been delighted with the recent emergence of some new au thentic Mexican restaurants in our area. And while having a breadth of items on a menu allows variety I always say that I prefer a rel atively small menu especially when a restau rant is brand new. Such is the case with the small but mighty Streetside 7acos in /ong %each Washington the ¿rst brick and mortar restaurant of its kind on the peninsula to offer truly authentic Mexican cuisine. Make no mistake 7he place is small. 5e ally small. You place an order at the counter where you also sit and the food is prepared right in front of you. It’s in a tiny house along the main thoroughfare a spot that in the past was a clam chowder place and a wine shop. %ut what Streetside 7acos lacks in si]e it makes up for in Àavor. My ¿rst dish was chicken tinga a won derful tasty Mexican dish. &hicken and on ions are slow cooked in a rich chipotle sauce and the dish is often traditionally served with crunchy tostadas. When cooked slowly over a
low temperature the chicken becomes tender Àavorful and shreddable and in this case is an excellent taco ¿lling. I thought the chicken tinga offered at Streetside 7acos was delicious moist and tangy and Moined by cotiMa cheese cilantro and a sTuee]e of lime it was truly exceptional. I shudder to think of how many I could have consumed if given the opportu nity. I thought the carne asada a bit lackluster. 8sually carne asada is heavily marinated and seared at a high temperature lending a heavy barbecue
What Streetside Tacos lacks in size it makes up for in flavor.

Àavor and ensuring that the meat’s Muices are locked inside making for a very Muicy tender dish. Instead I found the carne asada more stew like lacking the heavily seared exterior I would expect. Although the dish was tender it seemed more like marinated steak tips than carne asada and overall I thought it seemed a bit bland and soupy. My favorite dish of the day was a burri to with spicy pork. 7here was some inherent sweetness in the pork made more noticeable by the spiciness. 7here seemed to be a fruity element to the pork — orange? Pineapple? I couldn’t be sure. 5egardless the burrito stuffed full with rice cheese and veggies was more than could be eaten in a single sitting.
mouth OF THE COLUMBIA COAST WEEKEND’S LOCAL RESTAURANT REVIEW Story and photo by THE MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA • mouth@coastweekend.com HOURS: Noon to 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday; and noon to 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday. PRICES: The prices can’t be beat. I challenge you to spend more than $10. SERVICE: The servers bent over backwards to make sure I was enjoying my meal, including letting me sample a taste of something new that wasn’t even on the menu.
ATMOSPHERE: It’s a very small place; you order at the counter, have a seat at the limited seating available, and your server brings you your food. Though the concept works in theory, I think the business would increase its success through increased space. ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: I did not notice any vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free items on the menu, although I suppose one could order a meatless taco. DRINKS: Soft drinks, including Mexican sodas.
In the future I would suggest adding some vegetarian options to the menu. In the years I was a vegetarian I often ¿lled tacos with grilled ]ucchini for example. A southwest ern style salad would be a nice choice too as would perhaps a daily soup po]ole maybe or abondigas? I found the food at Streetside 7aco to be better than average authentic Mexican food. While I munched though I considered the small si]e of the restaurant from different an gles so to speak. 2n the one hand I worry that the restau rant’s tiny stature will not provide enough room for the hungry mouths that will un doubtedly want to patroni]e the business. I do suspect though that take out business will be popular there as the food is prepared in front of you while you wait. 2n the other hand I wonder if restaurants such as this aren’t the way of the future. While I relish the times my whole family and I can sit down for a meal with one another and I think it’s an important part of life in modern times with modern schedules it’s not always feasible. +ow wonderful it is then to be able to rely on good fresh foods prepared Tuickly that you can either pop in and eat or take with you if you’re in a hurry. Streetside 7acos reminds me of something you’d see in Southern &alifornia where au thentic taco restaurants are plentiful. 4uite of ten the si]e of the space is small but the heart and the Àavor are big. I believe Streetside 7aco in /ong %each is Must such a place and I plan to freTuent it often.

Learn to Grow the Coast
2014 Grow the Coast Workshops
Annual food, farm conference returns to Seaside for third year, public invited Story by KATHERINE LACAZE EO Media Group SEASIDE — Anyone who owns or works on a commercial farm or wants to learn how to maintain a home garden — or simply likes to know where their food comes from — is welcome to attend the third annual Grow the Coast Conference and participate in discussions about food, farms and community. The conference will take place from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 1 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center. The event, hosted by Food Roots, North Coast Food Web and the Oregon State University Extension for Grow the Coast, is all about raising awareness, education and building alliances. It features beginner and advanced workshops for farmers, gardeners, homesteaders and local food enthusiasts. “We’re wanting to welcome the community in a broader sense to attend the conference,” said Emily Vollmer, project manager with Food Roots, a TilODPRRN EDVHG QRQSUR¿W
Something for Everyone
The theme of the keynote presentation at this year’s conference will be “Local Food on the North Coast: Celebrating Successes, Moving Ahead.” Keynote panelists — including Teresa Retzlaff, of 46 North Farm; Laura Swanson, manager of the Manzanita Farmers Market; Dirk Rhone, Clatsop County Commissioner and dairy farmer; and Lauren Gwin, with the OSU Center for Small Farms and Community Food Systems — will report on the state of local food producers, markets and community. The panelists then will moderate a discussion with the audience centered on questions such as “What are you seeing, struggling with and excited about?” and “What can we do about it together?” “We’re looking to highlight trends and then continue that in talking about ‘where do we want to go next?’” Vollmer said.
The panelists were selected to represent a variety of sectors relevant to the industry, such as farmers markets, food production and community groups. They were asked to interview individuals in their areas to get information and updated stories to share with the audience. During the presentation, the audience is encouraged to write down thoughts and ideas for projects or efforts to improve the industry. The organizers plan to follow up with people who suggest ideas for projects and then facilitate workshops during the winter to move some of those projects forward, Vollmer said. She added too many times people will discuss issues and present solutions, but nothing is done to pursue those solutions or connect individuals with the resources needed to accomplish them. “We want to try and take a step beyond,” she said. The organizers also hope the conference is an opportunity for farmers, home gardeners and others to be introduced to experts and industry leaders they could seek out later with questions and concerns. After the keynote presentation, participants can choose three workshops to attend that will be led by OSU extension agents, commercial farmers and representatives from the OSU Small Farms Program, governPHQW DJHQFLHV DQG QRQSUR¿W DQG IRU SUR¿W RUJDQL]DWLRQV Workshop topics will cover categories such as farm business, home and garden, plant production and livestock, and the selection also includes demonstrations and a resource marketplace.

Vollmer stressed that the event is not just for farmers but, rather, “a broad range of interested folks” who want to learn more about healthy food systems and any aspect of food production and consumption, she said. “It would be great to have a range of perspectives in the room,” she added. Education and facilitating connections are two main goals of the organizers. As with many conferences, participants can make both business and personal connections. The event is sponsored by

LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Adrift Hotel hosts live music this weekend, featuring the sounds of two Seattle groups and one band from Portland. Seattle band The Horde and the Harem will perform at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 23 and at 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 24. The Horde and the Harem is a spirited band of troublemakers, creating danceable folk-pop music thick with layers of harmony. The band is a collective of musicians from across the country who have all gravitated toward the mystique of the OXVK 3DFLÂżF 1RUWKZHVW 5\DQ Barber, the founding member, started the project in 2009 by pulling together other Seattle transplants and West Coast natives. The band self-released its debut EP “Harvestâ€? followed by their 2012 full-length “A Long Midwinterâ€? to critical acclaim. The Horde has toured extensively over its few years as a band and played at festivals such as Bumbershoot, Capitol +LOO %ORFN 3DUW\ 1RUWKZHVW Folklife and SXSW. Throughout the years, the lineup has changed, but some things remain constant: devotion to their craft as musicians and a lust for creation. This craft and creation put The Horde back into the studio in the winter of 2013 to record its new EP, “Fairweather Friends,â€? which was released April 12.

ANDREW E. CIER
By RYAN HUME
Born in Princeton, New Jersey, and raised in Tucson, Arizona, this Astoria photographer has worked with photography since high school and lived in Astoria with his wife, LaRee Johnson, for 13 years. Andrew E. Cier’s work has been shown in Portland, published in national magazines and is still seen on scenic Oregon postcards. Most notably, his image “O The Joy!” was selected to be on the fourth nickel in the series put out by the U.S. Mint in 2005 to commemorate the Lewis & Clark Bicentennial. Cier’s most recent photography show, “Haunts,” opened at Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts in Astoria Oct. 11 and will be on display through Nov. 2. Coast Weekend sat down with Cier to discuss his work. Your new show, “Haunts,” at Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts includes photos taken at various locations around the world over the past 34 years. What was the inspiration to link them all together in this show? The inspiration for “Haunts” is something I have thought about the past couple years, with an emphasis on the mysterious and historic nature of buildings, cemeteries and unusual things that may cause one to stop and ponder the
past. October seemed like a perfect month to debut this series, and thanks to Charlotte at Winnifred Byrne Luminari Arts we were able to put it together. The photographs in “Haunts” are mounted on Victorian photo album pages. How did you come up with this idea, and what effect do you seek to achieve? Looking through Victorian albums and realizing the story that is told with old photos, I liked the idea of mounting this group of photos in a non-traditional way, almost

as if the viewer is looking through the pages of time. Tell me about some of the photo processes used for “Haunts.” How do they relate to or work with the subject matter? Alternative processes have interested me for many years, and I have experimented with VanDyke Browns and Cyanotype processes, which are old methods of developing with a film camera. However, I also like the effects that can be created digitally. The show “Haunts” has a variety of techniques and processes, but mainly it is a fascination with the details often overlooked. I also like the idea of spirits that may inhabit an area. Why are dilapidated old buildings a favorite photographic subject of yours? What do you find compelling about them? I could use the words “abandoned,” “patina of age” or “artful neglect” when focusing on the details of an empty room or facade of a building. Fortunately, preservation of the past is something that is beginning to be understood and valued. Astoria has character because of that. I hope my photographs offer a greater appreciation of the well-worn and neglected as beautiful. I

find the historic significance compelling, along with what the building could tell us, if it had a voice. Do you have any pets? Yes, of course: cats! Neither of which is black. The black cat in the “Haunts” series found us as we walked through a very old cemetery just north of Christchurch, New Zealand. It was a little eerie because I had just put roll No. 13 in my camera. Artist you most admire: There are so many, it’s hard to say. Will need to give that some more thought. Besides your photogra-
phy, you also create inventive garden water features using unusual and vintage objects. How did you first get interested in this process and what makes you keep doing it? Finding interesting “junk” and how to use it was a start. The water features are a good way to reuse found objects, each one is a challenge in plumbing it, electrifying it and creating something for the garden that has a beautiful sound to enjoy while outside. It is a totally creative process, each one of a kind. Your favorite thing about Astoria: First of all, the creative people who live here. And of course the river is far more interesting with the movement of the river traffic and variety of boats than other locales. I need to be by the water.
Origin: Probably before 1300, gutte, meaning intestine, developed from the Old English, guttas, before 1000. Enters street racing culture by way of the U.S. teenager during the hot rod fad of the 1950s and 1960s. “You know you are from Seaside/ Clatsop County when you remember draggin’ the gut to places called The Palm Beach Cafe, The Pypo Club and Times Theater.”
—Linda Webb Gustafson, “Seaside Hall of Fame induction and all through the years reunion,” The Daily Astorian, September 20, 2011 “And what did Astoria teens do in those days to fill that ‘cultural void’? “‘Cruising the gut’ was pretty big,’ said Tom Coryell. “Showing off their four-wheel drives and muscle cars from the late ’60s and early ’70s, teen drivers, new to the road, would cruise up and down Commercial Street and Duane Street, the small intestines of Astoria. Occasionally, they’d pick up a load of friends in the parking lot near Custard King, idle before the courthouse, and drag race between traffic lights while chatting and flirting and cheering themselves on. “‘We’d often just go in circles,’ Tom Corywell smiled.”
— Erick Bengel, “AHS Class of 1976: ‘We believed we were invincible,’” The Daily Astorian, August 19, 2011

Jan Bono shares story of weight loss in â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Back from Obesityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ASTORIA and LONG BEACH, Wash. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Long Beach retired teacher-turned-author Jan Bono has plenty of reasons to celebrate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exactly 15 years ago,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I weighed 396 pounds. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even bend over to tie my own shoes and walking from the house to the car in the driveway exhausted me. The idea that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d live to see 50 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or even 60 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was totally unfathomable.â&#x20AC;? But somehow Bono completely overhauled her lifestyle, and today, at 60, she maintains a healthy â&#x20AC;&#x153;weight windowâ&#x20AC;? of 140-145 pounds. +er latest nonÂżction book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back from Obesity: My 252-pound Weight-loss Journeyâ&#x20AC;? tells the unabridged story of what it took to reclaim her life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happier and healthier than Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever been,â&#x20AC;? she says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My mission now is to inspire other average, ordinary, everyday, regular people to do the same.â&#x20AC;?
Bono refers to other â&#x20AC;&#x153;non-celebritiesâ&#x20AC;? like her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; those who cannot afford to hire a personal chef, Âżtness trainer or check themselves into a long-term in-patient treatment program. While not a â&#x20AC;&#x153;how-toâ&#x20AC;? weight loss book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Back from Obesityâ&#x20AC;? explains the tips, tricks and tools she used to get her compulsive eating under control. Bono lost all 252 pounds without resorting to gastric bypass, lap band surgery, liquid fasts, diet pills or extreme exercise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But I did have some extra skin surgically removed once I got to my goal,â&#x20AC;? she explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;$ll that loose, Ă&#x20AC;apping skin just had to go.â&#x20AC;? So whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s her best tip? â&#x20AC;&#x153;If I were to single out just one strategy that made the most difference,â&#x20AC;? she says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it would be keeping a food log.
