Halloween is right around the corner. Fall (and rain) is officially in the air – though if a sunny day appears and elbows aside the rain clouds, enjoy it all you can (like columnist David Campiche did in Coastal Life, which you can read more about on page 4). But fall is such an abundant, ripe season that a little chill can help you enjoy those crisp apples, hearty root crops and, of course, pumpkins. Pumpkins are a very versatile squash. Did you know the flesh, shell, seeds, leaves and flowers are all edible? Pumpkin pie is a favorite for many during the holidays, though pumpkin can be used in an array of savory dishes, too, such as pumpkin Alfredo sauce atop pasta or an ethnic-inspired soup – see page 11 for some recipes. And then there’s a pumpkin’s favorite pastime: carving parties. Last year was the first time I ever carved a pumpkin (I think something about knives and little girls didn’t spell fun to my parents when I was growing up). While the face of my jack o’ lantern was basic, sitting around a table with my
friends was a great way to spend a cool fall evening, sipping cider and listening to Halloween favorites such as “Thriller,” “Monster Mash” and “Time Warp.” If you haven’t come up with a costume idea yet, my advice is to get cracking. You have just enough time to come up with something brilliant, but if you wait too much longer your costume might not impress anyone, even yourself. Some costumes you see everywhere: princesses, witches, Michael Jackson ... Some things are more popular now than in
previous years, such as zombies and superheroes, and you can try to go with something from pop culture, like being an iPhone 5 or a replacement NFL referee. If you need some inspiration, think about a costume that would mean something to you. Who is your favorite literary or movie character? And don’t forget group or couple costumes. Dressing up with your partner or a few friends can lead to a great Halloween and lots of admiration. The possibilities are endless: Mario Kart characters, Barbie and Ken, mustard and
ketchup, a fisherman and a fish ... There’s still a little time, so put your thinking cap on (or open a Google search), and prepare yourself for Halloween. It’s my first one in town, and I want to see what Astoria has up its sleeve.

autumn
a dry, sunny
i
Take advantage of great weather – now is your chance to be a tourist close to home and explore all that the North Coast has to offer
n the lilting days of autumn, opportunity was knocking on my door. I had a column to write and a deadline. The weather was perfect, almost too perfect. Here was a molelike moment: imagine the small fury beast shoveling sand from beneath thick pine loam, rising to the surface, and then forcing its near-blind eyes to gaze suddenly at golden sunshine. Summer and fall had been record dry. I needed a fresh story. Mushrooms, I thought, or a salmon-catching expedition, an annual ritual. I gathered my mushroom basket and headed for the deep woods. After two miles of bushwhacking, I had discovered only two russula, neither on the “delectable” list and both sun-dried. I found a perfect crow feather and piles of bear scat – no bears – but nothing for the sauté pan, nothing to appease my insatiable longing for the taste of the woodsy fungi. Nothing for a story. The afternoon wore on, temperatures raising to the mid-70s, a lovely gift under normal circumstances. I trudged home, a wee bit frustrated. I thought of my buddy Phil, the best of the best at hooking and landing the noble salmon. “Forget it,” he declared an hour later, and rather sanctimoniously. “Salmon are dying at the river’s mouth. No way for the large fish to bust upstream in such shallow water. Forget it, Dave.” I wandered along the Naselle for an hour, but didn’t wet a hook. I needed a story. A week earlier I had taken Brenda Penner and a friend back into the Elsworth grove. Two months before that, my column describing this green piece of paradise was printed in this paper. Again, the cedar left me spellbound, but as wonderful as the rendezvous was, how could I expand on the earlier story? I dropped by to see my friend, LA; as a California escapee, he is always good for an adventure. Turns out, he was back in hometown Los Angeles, chasing nostalgia. I then walked down to Fred Dust’s house, kind of a last effort before returning to work. Fred and I had considered a bus ride, kind of a Paul Simon “We’ve all come to search for America” moment. Turns out, Fred was in Chicago, another big-city turncoat. I trudged home. I had just finished a sweet novel by Ivan Doig 4 | October 25, 2012 | coastweekend.com
called “The Bartender’s Tale.” A review would be fun, but that didn’t fit the requirements for my monthly column. I was beginning to feel pangs of writer’s block, or desperation. What to do? Hope springs eternal: Just when I had run out of that rich stuff, there was a knock at the door. Chuck Neaman was standing there asking about lunch. “But I need an adventure, Chuck.” He had an idea. Together, we piled into his restored 1981 Corvette and drove out of Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula fog and Hope springs into the Oregon sunshine. Our destination: Seaeternal: Just side. The Corvette had a 350 cubic-inch engine and a streamlined design that seemed more of when I had an art project than a car. I’m not complaining: run out of that the whole trip I hyperventilated. Along the way, the sexy engine cooed out cool. rich stuff, Chuck said he knew a fine little Italian there was a restaurant on Broadway. Turned out it was knock at the closed. Disappointed again, we wandered on foot to the westerly turnaround and then onto door. the beach. The weather seemed tropical or Floridian – definitely not Pacific Northwest, and we bathed in joyous sunrays. The boardwalk was nearly deserted but we wandered happily along as only free men can. We wondered about the Lewis and Clark salt works and ambled that way. We window shopped. And then we stood on the bridge at town center and watched the tide flow by. The Necanicum was in fine fiddle. Later, a Tex-Mex lunch assuaged hunger. We sat and talked about politics and God, a good exchange for two opinionated tourists on the fly from the all-toocommon workday. And we were happy. And then I power-napped for a few minutes as the Corvette purred that rich tailpipe sound, and the soft warm wind whipped through my hair. All too soon, we crossed the Columbia River. Back in the days when a toll was imposed on travelers, I was fond of saying that the three bucks was a fair price for the view. Always the vista is inspiring. Today was no exception. Back home, my life’s partner wanted a walk before our evening shift at the Shelburne. Laurie brought her camera and photographed

the pearl-drop waves and then bird tracks pantomimed into soft gray sand. We were followed by a family of deer, a mom and two fawns. Somewhere in the back of my brain, John Denver began to sing, “Sunshine makes me happy.” I thought about the column and my downcast attitude. In the last few days I had bushwhacked through thick woods, sun-pocked by Renoir-like sunshine. I had skirted beside the Naselle and listened to watersong, to birdsong and windsong, and to the music water forfeits as it murmurs over and past large river stones. And I had reacquainted myself with Seaside and shared lunch with a friend, and driven in that cherry automobile. I suggest that you take the next sunny day off. Play hooky. Be a tourist, as I did, and so close to home. Maybe you will uncover a story hidden in one of the secret nooks of our Columbia-Pacific paradise. Maybe opportunity wears a plain smile. Maybe the picture is elegant. Either way, grab the moment.

Add pumpkin and cook for about 20 minutes until tender. Strain pumpkin out and reserve. Bring liquid back to simmer and cook chicken in liquid until just cooked through. Return pumpkin to cooking liquid, add lime juice and season to taste. Serve immediately, garnishing with a sprinkle of cilantro and green onion.
Hot and sour pumpkin soup sugar or cheese pumpkin – that is the right size for your recipe so you’re not left with extra. Though if you do have a wedge, just rub it with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast it in the oven for a side dish or snack. And don’t toss those beautiful seeds aside! Separate them from the squash’s stringy innards, toss with a little sea salt and then lay out on a layer of foil atop a sheet pan. Roast until light brown for a perfect snack to go in lunches or gobble down during a movie. Here are two soups to try that are packed with flavor. Both store and reheat well, so make extra for your lunchtime thermos!
Serves 10 This soup can be finished two ways – a final pass through a mesh strainer removes much of the pumpkin’s texture to yield a thinner, more delicate, soup or the final step can be omitted, leaving bits of lemongrass and galangal (a Thai version of ginger). Either way, it won’t be short on flavor.
INGREDIENTS 1 yellow onion, diced 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic 1⁄3 cup vegetable oil 6 cups sugar pumpkin, peeled, seeded and cut into 1-inch cubes 2 quarts stock, either chicken or vegetable 4 stalks lemongrass, root end removed, use lower 6-inches of stalk, 1⁄2inch rough cut 1-inch piece galangal, peeled and minced rough (can substitute with additional ginger) 1 to 3 jalapeno peppers, depending on heat preference, seeded and chopped in rough 1⁄2 -inch pieces 2 kaffir lime leaves 1⁄2 cup fresh lime juice
1⁄3 cup fish sauce 2 tablespoons brown sugar
DIRECTIONS Heat a large, heavy bottomed stockpot on medium heat. Add about 4 tablespoons oil and reserve the rest. Add onions, garlic and ginger, and saute until translucent. Add the pumpkin and the stock, bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 20-25 minutes, covered. In a medium saute pan, heat the remaining oil on medium heat. Add lemongrass, galangal and jalapeno and saute for about 5 minutes, until fragrant and the jalapenos have softened slightly. Remove from heat and set aside. When pumpkin is tender, puree the soup with an immersion blender or put through a blender or food processor in batches. Return to pot and set temperature to medium-low. Add lemongrass, galangal, jalapenos and lime leaves to soup and allow to simmer another 20 minutes. Strain once more to remove lemongrass and galangal, if desired (lemongrass is tough and inedible). Remove kaffir lime leaves. Add remaining ingredients and salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately. Will hold for 3-4 days in refrigerator.

“I don’t believe in ghosts, but I’m afraid of them.”
BUMP
on the coast
-Mark Twain, “The American Claimant”
An anthology of afterlife in the Columbia-Pacific region

Story and photos by LYNETTE RAE McADAMS
I The gravestone of Alex and Mary Pesonen, in Ilwaco, Wash. – LYNETTE RAE McADAMS PHOTO.
Ghosts have been recorded in literature since the earliest times, appearing during the 8th century B.C. in both Chinese writings and in Homer’s “The Iliad.”
t’s said the ghosts of shanghaied sailors haunt Astoria’s Portway Tavern, that there’s a “spirited” guest at the Hotel Elliot, who’s stayed 80 years past checkout time, and that when the curtain comes down at the Liberty Theater, the after-hours show is truly other worldly. Some visitors to the famed Flavel House Museum report “strange occurrences” that accompany a lingering scent of lilac perfume, and there is more than one witness to an eerie soldier in antiquated uniform who keeps the after-midnight watch at Battery Russell in Fort Stevens State Park. Whether or not you’re among the 34 percent of Americans who actually believe in ghosts, there’s no denying that tales of their escapades are intrinsically woven into the tapestry of our shared folklore, reflecting all the hopes and regrets of the generations that have come and gone before us. And throughout the Columbia-Pacific region, it seems we’ve been welcoming our ghosts right from the start. Early newspaper articles dating back to 1878 indicate coastal locals have always been keen on reporting paranormal sightings, but the region’s earliest ghost story comes, like much of our history, from the native people who inhabited the area centuries before the European-American settlers even arrived. Clatsop Indian legend tells of a great “winged canoe” that one day anchored off the coast of Neahkahnie Mountain, hundreds of years ago. From ship to shore came a landing party of strange white men, obviously burdened with a heavy chest of treasure. Among the group (clearly held captive) was a single black man said to tower above the others. The curious party made a quick start up the mountain then suddenly stopped, slit the throat of the “black giant,” and buried his body, with the treasure, in the side of Neahkahnie Mountain. They marked the spot, the story’s told, with an inscription on a nearby rock. Fearing the spirit of the murdered man, no attempt was made to recover the treasure until the legend was recorded in 1890, at just about the same time that a large stone with chiseled symbols was unearthed not far from Nehalem Beach. Since then, countless treasure hunters have vainly searched (and some have died), for the lost chest of Neahkahnie, whose true location, some believe, is kept well
hidden by the ghost whose vengeful spirit guards the mountain’s gold. A stretch up the coastline, on the southwestern shores of Washington, another kind of guardian keeps a separate, tragic secret. The North Head Lighthouse in Ilwaco, Wash., still serves to warn ships of the dangerous currents and shifting sands that make up the Graveyard of the Pacific. Rising 194 feet above the churning waters, on a rugged shelf of pure basalt, the lonely lighthouse grounds have been home to several keepers and their families through the years, but the wife of Alexander K. Pesonen, the light’s first head keeper, continues to draw the most fascination.
Throughout the Columbia-Pacific region, it seems we’ve been welcoming our ghosts right from the start
“At least once a day, someone asks us about Mary,” says Janice Perry, who volunteers with her husband as a North Head Lighthouse host for Cape Disappointment State Park. “Her sad story has kept people talking for years.” For almost a quarter of a century, Mary Pesonen shared in the duties of caring for the lighthouse and its grounds, when the desperate life of isolation and the incessant “howling of the winds” drove the already melancholic woman to take her own life in a tragic leap to the frigid waters below. Newspapers on both sides of the Columbia reported on the “rash act” of 1923, citing illness and temporary insanity, believing that in her death, a troubled Mary had finally escaped the harsh environment that had driven her to madness. Only by some accounts, she hasn’t actually left.Visitors, groundskeepers and
even a few current volunteers report experiences with strange electrical surges, moving objects, and “a presence” both in the lighthouse and the residency where Mary tended the home and gardens. “It’s a story that makes a human connection with people,” says Mark Perry, who adds with a smile, “besides, what’s more fun than a haunted lighthouse?” The ghost of Mary Pesonen is in good company on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula, where almost a dozen well-known specters are said to walk the miles between Oysterville and the historic haunt of Seaview. But if fun needs to be a factor, head back across the river and look no further than the Bandage Man of Cannon Beach. One-part ghost story, one-part moralizing urban legend, the local tale of this curious creature has been lurking in mostly youthful circles since the 1960s. On the roads just beyond this quiet coastal hamlet, the materialized spirit of a longdead logger (in some versions, a car-accident victim) terrorizes the inhabitants of passing vehicles who drive too fast or (conveniently enough) too slow. The frightful ghoul is reportedly wrapped from head-to-toe in the dressings of his death, his now-fetid life fluids still oozing through the fibers; with unearthly skill, he moves through the trees, then leaps violently onto the road, attaching himself at last to an unassuming car. Like any self-respecting figure in an urban legend, the Bandage Man also has a particular fondness for teenagers who park too long in moonlit roadside spaces, reveling in any opportunity to send their wheels spinning back to supposed safety. Mysteriously, by the time the carload of screaming (laughing) innocents arrives in town, the horrible fiend has disappeared, leaving nothing but the remnant of a bandage, laced with the stench of decay. And of course, the exciting discovery that sometimes, particularly as Halloween draws near, terror and delight walk hand-in-hand down the same dark road. And what about today, any recent sightings? “We’re happy to say we haven’t had any reports on the Bandage Man,” laughs Cannon Beach Police Chief Jason Schermerhorn good-naturedly, “but we are always looking.”
The world’s first “ghost stories” featured spirits who had been denied a proper burial. Anthropologists believe the stories were told to educate people on how to properly care for the dead, thereby preventing the spread of disease. The ancient Romans believed a ghost could be used to exact revenge on an enemy by scratching a curse on a piece of lead or pottery and placing it into a grave. In 1950, only 10 percent of Americans believed in ghosts, compared to 34 percent today. In 1991, a house in Nyack, N.Y. was declared, “haunted, as a matter of law,” when the state’s highest court ruled against the house’s owner for not disclosing the home’s resident ghosts before signing a real estate contract.

Crows have a lot to crow about
Crow and ravens. SUBMITTED PHOTO BY NEAL MAINE

t’s almost Halloween. Befitting the season, our coastal crows – those beadyeyed, black screamers – fit right into the time of year that salutes dark and scary lore; a group of crows is poetically referred to as a murder, after all. Edgar Allan Poe’s 1845 poem about the crow’s cousin, “The Raven,” is full of demons, tragedy and pain, bringing to mind the creepy sense of ghosts and goblins waiting to grab us. Mexico’s Nov. 1 celebration, the Day of the Dead, has long associated crows and ravens as harbingers of death, and in European literature you’ll find crows and ravens escorting recently deceased human beings into the unknown, aka (whispered tones advised here) the Otherworld. American Indians believed the crow to be a trickster, and Celtic mythology associated the crow with magic. It’s quite the frightening reputation for a bird weighing somewhere between one and two pounds. But in spite of all those squeamish labels, here comes the amazing news. Crows are super smart; in fact their family group, the Corvidae, are more intelligent than almost all other birds and animals. It turns out they really do have something to crow about. In Northwest author Brian Doyle’s novel “Mink River,” “the central character, hero, generous spirit, odd intelligence and comic brilliance of the crow at the center of the novel became the focus of the cover. Crows (and their cousins, the jays and ravens) are not only among the smartest of all animals, they are given to comedy, a sign of surpassing intelligence … The great writer, Ian Frazier maintains
that crows actually do run the world and let us think we do for their own amusement: that’s why they are cackling all the time,” wrote Doyle in a recent email exchange. Once they’re on to you, using Halloween masks to hide behind won’t fool most crows. In a well-known study, University of Washington’s “John Marzluff, a wildlife biologist, wondered if crows could identify individual researchers. To test the birds’ recognition of faces separately from that of clothing, gait and other individual human characteristic, Dr. Marzluff and two students wore rubber masks. He designated a caveman mask as ‘dangerous’ and, in a deliberate gesture of civic generosity, a Dick Cheney mask as ‘neutral.’ Researchers in the dangerous mask then trapped and banded seven crows on the university’s campus. In the months that followed, the researchers and volunteers donned the masks on campus, this time walking prescribed routes and not bothering crows. The crows had not forgotten. They scolded people in the dangerous mask significantly more than they did before they were trapped, even when the mask was disguised with a hat or worn upside down,” wrote Michelle Nijhuis in a 2008 New York Times article. And Trick or Treat? At Astoria Golf Club, when a golfer grabs a snack at the turn, it’s a well-known fact that unless he or she protects the treat, well-fed birds give some kind of crow high-five indicating “it’s time.” One story goes: a crow swiped a sandwich filled with meat, cheese and tomato. Apparently not a fan

of tomatoes, the sandwich disappeared after the tomatoes were removed. Another day, in swooped a tidy crow. Away went a sandwich. Shortly after, the sandwich wrap was returned back to the original owner. Unopened potato chip bags, sealed candy bars and packaged peanuts also make the menu. They’re never much of a challenge; the crow’s thick beak is more than adept at peck-to-open pleasures. Be ready this Halloween – a murder of crows may be close by to haunt and tease. And keep in mind, sharing a treat or two from your collected stash with a crow is a sure bet your generosity will be remembered for long, long time.
Did you know? Crows live to be around 20 years old Crows and some other feathered relatives, including jays and ravens, are a part of the scientific family, Corvidae. Ravens look a lot like crows, but are bigger and their beaks are shaped differently Usually crows live in a populated area, ravens don’t Crows are scavengers and will eat almost anything
