A perfect autumn day on the Columbia River

NANCY ALLEN’S CRAB CAKE RECIPE

By DAVID CAMPICHE

A perfect day. Let us imagine the soft choiring of angels, or the hooting of a small owl deep in a copse of Sitka spruce or Western cedar, or sandpiper tracks, laid down indiscriminately, soundless, but with a mysterious voice. Let us imagine a message that pierces our senses and touches us with wonder. Phil and his fishing pole. A travel writer from Edible Seattle. With her is a fine photographer. Her name is Megan Hill and his, Noah Forbes. Carol Zahorsky, a diligent public relations person for the Long Beach Peninsula, has brought along her affable personality and keen skills. The visitors are vibrant, talented and certainly impressed with this mighty tug of tide, now flooding from ocean to river. It doesn’t feel so much like a river as much as a great salty force that floods or ebbs four times a day in predictable cycles, sometimes comfortably, sometimes thrashing with 30-foot surges of fear. Huge. Unrestricted. Awesome. I tell our new friends about shipping, how the ebbing sands and ocean combers have stranded so many vessels. Here is the graveyard of the Pacific. How hard it is, on this bluebird day, to imagine the danger that lurks just below us from our perch on the North Jetty. Swells from the ocean lap onto the fishing rocks. Spume jumps at our happy faces. One must be cautious. Slip into this ocean and the currents will most likely pull you down. Phil ties a small plastic box onto a heavy leader and heaves that box and its cargo of clam meat far into the water, this the aqueous mixture of salt and freshet on the east side of the North Jetty. Here, where Dungeness crab lie so still or stealthily creep across the ocean floor. Here, where salmon have rendezvoused for eons.

Ingredients 1 pound crab meat ½ cup mayo 3 green onions, chopped ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped 1 tablespoon mustard 1 teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon cracked black pepper Panko or bread crumbs

The patient fisherman plying his trade.

Phil has a choice today: He can fish for salmon or try and lure in the crusty red-bodied crab. I, for one, find this crab to be the king of all seafood meats. It can be boiled, cracked and served without garnish. It can be baked au gratin, married into fried rice, soup, or with dozens of sauces. But fresh and simple is best, and we will soon attest to that. He feels the tiny tug on the line, tightens the slack, and closes the trap, and then, reels like a man possessed. Suddenly a crab dangles before us, a male better than six inches across the back. Dinner! Nancy, Phil’s wife, a fine, generous and intelligent woman if ever there was one, has set a picnic table in Cape Disappointment State Park and is boiling water. She has brought a baguette and salad, and a lovely ceramic vase filled with Tod Wiegardt’s garden flowers. She has combined green onion, parsley, mayo and fresh crab into a stunning cake, and mixed up a Cajun mayonnaise to boot. Call this a remoulade if you wish. All that really matters is how good it tastes. After a successful day fishing, we deliver the crab, about a dozen between us. Boil them. Back them.

A party of happy fishermen and fisherwomen catching crab off the North Jetty.

Accompany sweet meat with drawn butter. There is cold beer in the ice chest. The sky speaks of early fall, and the last heat of summer comforts our bodies. We sit at the wooden table talking approvingly about this park, so close to home, with a lake and waterfowl, and two Maya Lin installations, and lastly, the surrounding history of those great explorers, Lewis and Clark and their corps of brave soldiers, one Native American, a woman called Sacagawea, her newborn son, Pomp, and of course, York, the slave of William Clark. He deserved much better. It’s all here, in this park of many acres, with a backdrop of mighty Paciﬁc water and tall sky. The skyscape, still a peerless blue, swoops across the water horizon, touching ocean and river, touching

us. One feels nothing but fortunate. We eat and laugh and tell a few tall tales. An osprey hurls overhead. An eagle glides effortlessly by, catching the updraft and soaring. Soaring. Mallards dip like Olympic synchronized water dancers in the nearby lake. Grubbing. But my mind is on our good fortune. This landscape we call home. And of course, just how much we have, in our majestic corner of the world. We devour every single crab. Evening comes on, the end of a chapter. I feel the new taste of fall, a particular denseness in the air. And smells. Wonderful natural smells. I think of my Haisla friend, Cecil Paul, and how he taught me to worship nature. And as we eat and laugh, I worship.

Directions Mix all ingredients except bread crumbs and form patties. Gently roll the patties in Panko or bread crumbs. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or more. Sauté slowly over medium heat until golden, 3-4 minutes on each side. Optional additions include: lemon juice, lemon zest, cider vinegar, Tabasco, chili flakes, capers or dill.

Classical guitarist performs in Cannon Beach, Astoria Coaster Theatre to host Oct. 29 Halloween Bash ASTORIA and CANNON BEACH — Classical guitarist Aaron Larget-Caplan will return to the North Coast this weekend. First, Larget-Caplan will headline a Halloween Bash at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach on Saturday, Oct. 29. The next day, he’ll head up to Astoria for an exhilarating afternoon concert at Grace Episcopal Church. At the Halloween Bash, Larget-Caplan will perform the concert “Legend & Dreams.” Partly inspired by the Mexcian holiday Dia de los Muertos, the musical program harnesses the music of six countries to explore deathly themes of transformation, legends, fantasy, night and even toe-eating monsters. The concert will include dances, lullabies and odes from Argentina, Cuba and Uruguay by guitar composers Roland Dyens, Leo Brouwer and Agustin Barrios as well as arrangements by Larget-Caplan of music by Bach and 20th century master John Cage. The Halloween Bash will also include a costume competition, a belly dance

presentation, Halloween revelries, and a preview of the play “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) [Revised].” Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets cost $15 or $20 and are available online at coastertheatre.com, or call the box office at 503-436-1242. An international touring artist from Colorado now based in Boston, Larget-Caplan recently returned from performing again in Russia, Germany and Italy. His performances have been hailed as “stunning” by Fanfare Magazine. Larget-Caplan’s Astoria performance, co-presented by the Astoria Music Festi-

val, will celebrate his most recent CD release, “The Legend of Hagoromo.” The centerpiece of his concert is the interplay among distinct works by baroque composer Bach and 20th-century modern composer Cage. Larget-Caplan will play a fascinating arrangement of two movements of the famed “Pictures in an Exhibition” by Modest Mussorgsky and an audience favorite, the Japanese tour-de-force “Legend of Hagoromo.” Keigo Fujii’s “Legend of Hagoromo” is based on a Japanese legend about a fisherman who falls in love with a heavenly maiden who can fly when she wears

her feathered kimono, the hagoromo. He steals it, and drama ensues. The music is Eastern in a mode from Okinawa, Japan, but the composer studied in the West and loved rock guitar. The guitarist uses unusual techniques, including brushing, bending and scratching to highlight the piece’s intense rhythmic shaping and dramatic story. The American Record Guide described Larget-Caplan’s performance of the 20-minute masterpiece as “an emotional and technical tour de force.” Larget-Caplan’s latest CD, “The Legend of Hagoromo,” is a musical fusion built on a Japanese theme with American composers writing in an Eastern aesthetic and Japanese composers writing in a Western. It includes works by George Gershwin and Harold Arlen, as well as New Lullabies commissioned by Larget-Caplan for his New Lullaby Project. It’s been hailed “an eclectic and endlessly rewarding release” by Classical Guitar. The Astoria concert takes place at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 at Grace Episcopal Church, located at 1545 Franklin St. Tickets are $15 at the door, with those 15 and under admitted free.

SEASIDE — The Astoria chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will host author Gail Elliott Downs, who will share her book “The Black Suitcase Mystery: A World War II Remembrance.” The program will take place at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 at the Seaside American Legion, located at 1315 Broadway. The program is free and open to the public. Published in 2015, Downs’ book is an intriguing story unearthed by 10 year olds in 1991 from a small black suitcase containing almost 200 letters written prior to and during World War II. Downs inherited the suitcase from her great aunt. A librarian at Mark Twain Elementary in Missouri, Downs led her fourth grade students through the letters as a means of researching the past with primary documents. The students’ excitement as they read the letters for the first time convinced her that the suitcase held the key to understanding and uncovering people and events that had both historical and personal significance. The letters in the suitcase told a story of love and war, and the students had to piece together the order of events. At age 8, George Elliott Rich started writing the letters to his mother, Hazel, in 1929 after she had contracted tuberculosis. The two were separated for many years, seeing each other for only one week in 1942, just before George joined the Army Air Corps and became a radio operator/waist gunner on a B-24 Liberator

Bomber. George married in 1943 and his wife, Wanda, also wrote letters to Hazel. George was killed in action over German-occupied Poland while flying on his 50th mission. Hazel carefully saved all George’s correspondence, and the black suitcase became a time-capsule of his life and a treasure chest of first-hand accounts that occurred during a pivotal period in history. The suitcase project started as a simple school library assignment but quickly expanded; students poured over the letters for four years, learning about B-24 Liberator bomber crews and unraveling the mystery. Students put on annual World War II history displays on Memorial Day, met Tuskegee Airmen veterans, participated in Valentines for Vets and raised over $12,000

to schedule a fly-in of a fully restored B-24 Liberator Bomber. “In the beginning, none of us could have predicted the astounding course this project would follow,” said fifth grade teacher Leslie Brann. “Visualize several classes of ‘cool’ fifth graders. What could possibly entice them to spend hour after hour immersed in reference books, aviation manuals, and fiction stories about children who lived in the 1940s?” The project eventually received local, state and national recognition, including four national educational awards, inclusion in the Congressional Record and recognition from President Clinton. Downs’ school became the first elementary school in the nation to be designated a World War II Commemorative Community.

Author to speak about the Owyhee canyonlands ASTORIA — Members of the public will have a special opportunity to take a vicarious journey with author Bonnie Olin into one of the most remote areas in the lower 48 states — the Owyhee canyonlands in southeast Oregon — by way of a talk, slideshow and film. The presentation will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 3 at the Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th St. If you are an outdoor enthusiast or an armchair adventurer, you won’t want to miss seeing the Owyhee, because you won’t find yourself there on the way to anywhere else. The Owyhee is a desert region that spans the border of Idaho, Oregon and a small part of Nevada. Centered on the Owyhee River and the Owyhee Mountains, the region covers an area of about 9 million acres and is roughly the size of the two small states of Maryland and Rhode Island combined. It is home to one of largest remaining herds of bighorn sheep and many other wild plants and animals, such as endangered sage grouse. While Idaho’s section of the Owyhee is protected as a wilderness area, the same cannot be said for Oregon’s section. During her presentation, Olin will talk about the Owyhee’s geogarphy, natural history and environment as well as legislation and other efforts underway to protect the area and designate it as a wilderness area. Olin has been kayaking with her husband Mike Quigley for 27 years, using rivers as their highways into the wild. Quiqley has been familiar with the Owyhee since the mid 1970s and introduced Olin to the canyonlands in 1993. Together, they have spent the last 23 years exploring the canyons, kayaking the river and hiking the side canyons from river to rim countless times. They

know, from first-hand experience, that there are many reasons to protect this region. “The canyon geology offers some of the most stunning visual examples of rhyolite formations on our planet,” Olin said. “It is unlike Bryce, Zion, Canyonlands or the Grand Canyon. We have a golden opportunity to protect a landscape like no other in the lower 48 states that could easily qualify for National Park status. It is public land. It belongs to all of us. And yet, the Oregon section of the region remains unprotected.” Olin began her advocacy for the protection of the Owyhee with the publication of her book, “The Owyhee River Journals.” She self published the book because

larger publishing firms felt the Owyhee was too unknown to have much of a market. However, two editors encouraged her to pursue the project on her own. Featuring the photography of her husband, the book is considered a writing of record and came to fruition, in part, because Olin couldn’t find a book on the Owyhee that she was looking for — one bursting with full-color photos showing all the stems of the river canyon including the most remote regions. “I wanted to share the Owyhee that I knew, first with family and friends, but eventually with everyone, to increase awareness of the area, in the hope that once people saw the unique beauty of these canyonlands, they

might find it a special place worthy of preservation,” she said. To reach her audience, she developed a program which includes a talk, a slideshow and a movie, that together, will take the audience on a vicarious journey deep into the Owyhee Canyonlands, from Nevada, through Idaho and Oregon. “For seeing it, I believe, is the next best thing to being there. And it is crucial to see it, to have an understanding of its importance,” she said. The book includes an abundance of photographs that feature the entire river system and reveal the beauty of the inner canyon corridor. The movie titled “Deep Creek & the Owyhee River” is a story of an expedition into the Owyhee canyon by inflatable kayaks in 2006 that begins on the Deep Creek tributary of the East Fork of the Owyhee River in Idaho, continues into the East Fork and ends at Three Forks in Oregon. It is a view of the upper regions of the Owyhee River that few people see. A petition supporting protections for the Owyhee by the Oregon Natural Desert Association and information on a conservation proposal will be available at the event. Olin was born and raised in Springfield and has ties to the communities of Astoria and Chinook. Her grandfather, John Olin, was known as the “logger organist of Astoria.” He had six children with his second wife Ellen Catrina Lindstrom. Their youngest son and Bonnie Olin’s father, Eldon R. Olin, went on to become a timber cruiser and artist. Eldon depicted the lives of the people in the timber industry in his drawings and Oregon landscapes in oil on canvas. His wife, Bernice, started a business selling reproductions of his work in the 1970s and is still in business.

Attend forest ecology talk at Blue Scorcher ASTORIA — The North Coast Sate Forest Coalition will host a forest ecology and photography presentation at 6:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28 at Blue Scorcher Bakery & Cafe, located at 1493 Duane St. The evening will offer an introduction into the fascinating world of forest ecology as well as focus on the numerous ways that forest management impacts people’s lives. Trygve Steen, a professor of forest ecology, environmental sustainability and photography at Portland State University, will

give the presentation. Steen will include examples of his photography that examine Pacific Northwest forests and will discuss the impacts of Oregon Department of Forestry’s management. Steen has joined several North Coast State Forest Coalition outings. He has recently been involved in documenting and challenging the Homesteader Timber Sale in the Clatsop State Forest, maintaining that the area (about 250 acres southeast of Jewell School) included oldgrowth trees.

It’s ‘All Treats – No Tricks’ for symphonic band

SUBMITTED PHOTO

A painting by Gheri Fouts at Trail’s End Art Association.

Gheri Fouts to show artwork in November Art show opens Nov. 5 at Trail’s End Art Association GEARHART — Gheri Fouts, the immediate past president of Trail’s End Art Association, is the featured artist for the association’s November show, which opens Nov. 5. The public is invited to a reception from 2 to 5 p.m. at the gallery, located at 656 A St. Meet the artist, enjoy her work, and partake of refreshments. Work of other member artists will also be on display. In a decade of watercolor painting, Fouts paints in a style that can be described as loose realism, capturing misty moods and edgy apprehension on paper. She paints with the question in mind, ”Do you see what I see?” She entices the observer to brace against the wind of a rainy day on the Astoria Riverwalk or to step onto a sandy beach. She paints anything that could generate a smile. Her abstracts are often whimsically primitive. Fouts loves to see the paint mix on the paper, whether it is on the side of a

freighter or with distant trees in a valley. “The washed colors and moody appearance seem to suit our rainy winters and maritime scenery,” she says. An eager learner, Fouts is often the first to sign up for workshops with noted artists, and she has studied under Eric Wiegardt and the late Royal Nebeker. She got started when local artist Judy Fredrickson, “put a brush in my hand and gave me lessons at Trail’s End,” Fouts says. In addition to serving as president of association, Fouts has chaired several of the annual Trail’s End judged shows held each July. Part of her commitment to Trail’s End Art Association is motivated by her belief that painting with others is beneficial. As she puts it, “I like to paint in a group, so I am in several groups that paint and draw together.” Her advice to someone getting started with artistic endeavors is to keep at it on a daily basis. “Painting becomes more rewarding when you make it part of your daily routine, even if it is just a 10-minute sketch.”

ASTORIA — Dave Becker of Manzanita returns for his sixth season as conductor and musical director of the North Coast Symphonic Band. The first concert of the band’s 37th season will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 at the Liberty Theater. The afternoon will start with a pre-show of classic pop and jazz standards by guitarist David Drury at 1:30 p.m. Featured soloist for the afternoon will be former Astorian Mark Goodenberger, who is returning to dedicate a marimba he’s donating to the symphonic band in memory of his mother, Peggy Goodenberger. The theme of the afternoon’s concert is “All Treats – No Tricks.” Unlike previous October concerts where Becker jumped out of a coffin and Godzilla made an appearance onstage, Becker says this year’s concert will focus on repertoire with melodies that are easy to follow accompanied by pleasant harmonies. The 50-member community band will perform “Merry Music” by Frigyes Hidas, Hungary’s most popular composer in recent times; “Cakewalk” by Hershy Kay, orchestrator for Leonard Bernstein’s Broadway music; and John Higgen’s arrangement of tunes from Disney movies. Another treat on the afternoon concert program will be “A Flourish of Sprites” by Dan Ogren, former music teacher in the Lake Oswego Schools. This piece was written for the Lake Oswego Millennium Community Band so musicians could have fun making music together and audiences could enjoy tapping their toes along with the tunes. North Coast Symphonic Band flutist Bona Choi will perform John Barnes’ “Autumn Soliloquy,” which uses the flute and band to portray the colors of the swirling

leaves of fall. Featured marimba soloist Mark Goodenberger will perform “Light for Peggy,” a new arrangement of a composition he premiered at his mother’s memorial service in 2015. Goodenberger is active as a Baroque specialist and performs on kettledrums with the Portland Baroque Orchestra. As a concert recitalist, he performs many

of his own compositions joining elements of theater, dance and vaudeville into the diverse world of percussion. Goodenberger is a Yamaha Percussion Performing Artist. His mother, Margaret “Peggy” Goodenberger, was an Astoria resident for 31 years. She was active at First Presbyterian Church in Astoria during the years her hus-

band, John, pastored there, and she was also involved in Church Women United, American Association of Univeristy Women and P.E.O. The Astoria-Warrenton Chamber of Commerce awarded Peggy the George Award in 1980 for her work in developing the local Ostomy Association, and the local branch of AAUW selected Peggy in 2011 as one of 100 women who help make Astoria unique. Daughter Jennifer Goodenberger is a local musician, and son John Goodenberger is well-known for his work with historical preservation. Seasonal music for the concert includes Camille Saint-Saën’s “Danse Macabre” based on the French superstition that Death returns at midnight on Halloween and summons the skeletons to leave their graves to dance with him while he plays music on the fiddle. The symphonic band will also perform the award-winning new piece “Haunted Carousel” by Erika Svanoe featuring the sound of the theremin, an electronic instrument often used in old science fiction and horror movies. Becker will play the theremin part on his iPad. Tickets are available at the Liberty Theater’s box office, located at 1203 Commercial St., from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday and two hours before the performance, or call 503-325-5922, ex. 55. Regular admission is $15. Student tickets (age 13 to 21) are $7, and children 12 and under are free. For more information, visit www.northcoastsymphonicband.org, or call 503-325-2431.

RIDE THE HAUNTED ASTORIA TROLLEY THIS HALLOWEEN

By REBECCA SEDLAK

If you’re in the mood for some spine-tingling stories this Halloween that have a local twist, the Astoria Riverfront Trolley’s ninth annual Halloween Night Run is the event for you. Taking place at 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31, costumed children, teenagers, parents and adults are invited to climb aboard at the Columbia River Maritime Museum for a one-hour ride up and down the Astoria Riverwalk. “They decorate it really nicely with lots of spooky cobwebs and skeletons and monsters,” says North Coast author and storyteller Melissa Eskue Ousley. She’ll be there too, for the second year in a row, entertaining the trolley riders with ghost stories. “I kind of gathered the local legends to talk about as well as some classic ghost stories — the ones you read as a kid that kind of make you jump a little,” Eskue Ousley says. “We have such a rich history, and there’s a lot of really old buildings that are rumored to be haunted,” she says, citing Fort Stevens State Park and Astoria’s Flavel House Museum and Liberty Theater. Local legends on the docket may be familiar to some: Colossal Claude, the Columbia River’s own river monster; Cannon Beach’s Bandage Man, a phantom who appears in the back of people’s cars; and Basket Woman, an ogress who kidnaps and eats people. Astoria’s own dark history plays into the inspiration for Eskue Ousley’s stories. Once upon a time, the rainy little town’s red-light district — with its brothels and rumors of sailors getting shanghaied — dealt in black market, sordid stuff. The huge ﬁres that decimated the downtown, like the ﬁre of 1922, also left ghostly remnants behind. “I remember going out to Shively Park and seeing the columns there from the Weinhard-Astoria, which is the hotel that used to be where the Libery Theater is now, and it’s just really a surreal feeling when you go

there,” Eskue Ousley says. HALLOWEEN “There’s these two columns. NIGHT RUN There’s no sign, nothing to 6 p.m. Monday, Oct. 31 Columbia River Mariexplain them; they’re just time Museum there.

While doing research for her new young adult novel “Sunset Empire,” which will be released in December and features a ghost, Eskue Ousely got the chance to go down into the Astoria Underground’s maze of tunnels beneath the downtown. “That was a very cool experience, very spooky,” she says. “It’s PHOTO BY JOSHUA BESSEX really kind of dangerous down there; there’s a reason why people Costumed riders of all ages filled the spooky-fied Astoria Riverfront Trolley during last year’s Halloween Night Run. don’t go down there.” “It’s cool to think about all or you can find humor in those those tunnels and all the layers of dark places.” Astoria, being built and rebuilt Beyond the night’s ghost more than once,” she continues. “I stories and the candy for the kids think it’s one of those towns where (yes, the trolley conductors will it’s got all these beautiful houses have candy) is the opportunity and buildings, but there’s this to ride the Astoria Trolley in the really interesting, dark history too.” dark.

Downtown Seaside pub and grill offers a tad of whimsy Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

It was novelty that first drew me in to Seaside’s Big Kahuna Pub and Grill. More specifically: a photograph of a Bloody Mary with a bacon cheese burger on top. I stepped into the darkened, loosely island-themed, shoebox-sized restaurant and asked the bartender: “Is this for real?” “It sure is,” she said. “Well I’ve got to have one,” I said. As she got to work, we got to talking. It turned out she owns the little hole-in-the-wall, which is tucked in at the end of an alcove near the beach on Broadway. Her name is Jill Harling, and she also owns Bebop Burgers, which shares a wall and partial menu with Big Kahuna. While the sister-businesses have been around a quarter-century, Jill took over in 2014 after moving to the North Coast from Alaska. Jill was sharp, hospitable and personable — qualities in somewhat rare supply on Broadway’s oft-faceless, churning and transient tourist funnel. Jill created the teeming, Finish Line Bloody Mary — what I came in for — when she first heard about Hood to Coast, a relay race where teams start at Mt. Hood and finish on the beach in Seaside. The drink seemed appropriate — hearty, gluttonous and a little bit deranged. Besides the crowning burger, the drink came garnished with plenty more — two shrimp, a pepperoni stick, celery, stuffed olives, a wand of pickled asparagus, a pepperoncini, lemon, lime, and probably something else I’m forgetting. Oh, right — it comes with a side of fries too. Sadly, though, my Hood to Coast Bloody Mary wasn’t earned quite as envisioned. I began to snicker as Jill stacked accoutrement after accoutrement. I laughed out loud as the towering cocktail neared completion, and again as it was delivered to my table. I reveled in the joyous absurdity. Made spicy, the drink had a

reasonable snap. I particularly enjoyed the rim — beyond salt there was pepper, spices and seeds. The house-made mix was right down the middle — neither limp nor wicked strong. Just fine. Now: the garnishes. There’s no reason to describe most of them — dipped momentarily in a vodka-tomato juice mix we can all fathom celery, a cured pepperoni stick, olives, and so on. The shrimp were a tad dry and wanting, but a fine source of lean protein. The burger was strikingly familiar. If you’ve been to Wendy’s you know what I mean. Think: Junior Bacon Cheeseburger and you’re nine-tenths of the way there. I did a double-take — if not for the round patty I might’ve begun an investigation. Nonetheless, the Finish Line Bloody Mary was a good time — plus it made a surprisingly substantial, if irresponsible, lunch. (For those less hungry or playful, Big Kahuna offers a version without the burger and fries.) However, my trail of giggles were muted a bit when I received the $21 bill. Novelty, it turns out, can cost you. On subsequent trips I was curious where the cocktail-capping burger fit in on the Big Kahuna/ Bepop spectrum. It seemed of a junior or child-sized variety. From the full-grown options I tried the Swiss Melt, which was bigger, but not wholly man-sized. At $7.50 and served a la carte I felt like I’d payed a few dollars too many. Besides the grilled onions being cut so fine, practically shredded, the rest of it was familiar, swerving toward the fast food. I was thankful the BBQ Pork Sandwich ($9.95) wasn’t drenched in corn-syrupy sugars, though neither the portion nor the flavor left me reeling. Neither did the Hawaiian Teriyaki Chicken & Rice ($9.95) plate, from the menu’s truncated, seemingly forgotten “Taste of Hawaii” section. The veggies were steamed to oblivion. But hey, again, it wasn’t propped

up with sugars. I also tried the Cod Fish & Chips ($10.95). The neatly uniform size of the beer-battered ﬁllets told me just about everything I needed to know. With a few visits under my belt I missed that initial glee of the stacked Bloody Mary. So, I did what anyone would in this case: ordered a jello shot and one in a syringe. The jello shots ($1) made with vodka smacked of rubbing alcohol, though I quite enjoyed the

spicy, tequila-based lime ﬂavors (aka green). When the syringe was delivered, the neighboring table perked up. They were a group of three, all sipping bright, mid-afternoon cocktails and beginning to guffaw. It was a ladies-only weekend, I learned, as they began befriending everyone within earshot. They cackled at my jello-syringe. “It’s like a cold worm wiggling into your mouth!” said one of the

jello-syringe experienced before I had a chance to squeeze the plunger. She was right on. The group ordered a round of syringes for themselves. And then another round of cocktails, including one that came in a bucket. Increasingly boisterous, they laughed, gasped, confessed and prodded, two-and-ahalf-sheets into the wind. I thought to myself: While the food at Big Kahuna may not be a worthwhile draw, whimsy could be.

Marv and Rindy Ross will bring Quarterflash to perform in Astoria on Nov. 5.

Quartflash tickets on sale for Liberty Theater concert ASTORIA — The Liberty Theater will presents the second concert of its 201617 Liberty Presents Series at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Nov. 5 with Quarterflash, led by Marv and Rindy Ross. The Rosses first performed together in the ’70s at Western Oregon University where they fell in love and got married. While completing their teaching degrees, they began gigging in bands with Rindy playing sax and singing Marv’s guitar-driven compositions. After teaching three years in Central Oregon, they took very early retirements and formed Seafood Mama — a popular dance band that played every smoky hippie bar between Seattle and Portland in the late ’70s. In 1980 they recorded Marv’s song “Harden My Heart,” which became their first hit and led to Geffen Records signing them. Over the next decade they released four albums under a new name, Quarterflash, garnering gold and platinum records and tours with Elton John, Linda Ronstadt and assorted big-haired ’80s acts better left unmentioned. It was an exciting, tumultuous, insane era, and the Rosses lived out many a fantasy including Marv writing a

song with Burt Bacharach and Rindy appearing on Merv Griffin with Richard Simmons. In 1991 they formed Ross Productions to create music for NW audiences. Their first project was a commission from the state of Oregon to produce a musical based on diaries of immigrants on the Oregon Trail. From that project came The Trail Band and nine CDs of traditional Americana music. Also, the Rosses gained a deep interest in Native American music, and Marv began to write his second play, “The Ghosts of Celilo,” a Broadway-styled musical featuring Native American music and culture. “Ghosts” was presented in October 2007 by Artists Repertory Theatre at The Portland Center for the Performing Arts to rave reviews and 13 sold-out performances. Recently, the Rosses were awarded Western Oregon University’s Alumni Award of Excellence, and they released their new Quarterflash CD, “Goodbye Uncle Buzz.” Tickets cost $15, $25 or $35 and are available at the Liberty Theater’s box office, by calling 503-325-5922 ext. 55, and online at TicketsWest.com

Audition for ‘All in the Timing’ ASTORIA — Auditions for David Ives’ play “All in the Timing” will be held at Clatsop Community College’s Performing Arts Center at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29 and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30. The play will be directed by Edward James. Rehearsals will begin in November. Performance dates are set for Jan. 13, 14, 15, 20, 21 and 22 at the CCC Performing Arts Center, located at 588 16th St. Winner of the John

Gassner Playwrighting Award, “All in the Timing” is a collection of six diverse one-act comedies that make for a witty, romantic, absurd and existentially-minded evening of theater. In “Sure Thing,” a couple on a first date are able to reset and try again each time they say the wrong thing. In “Words, Words, Words,” three monkeys in a room type into infinity seeking to compose Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.”

“The Universal Language” brings together a young woman with a stutter and the teacher of Unamunda, a wild comic language. Could their dazzling display of verbal pyrotechnics lead to true love? And there’s three more... The play has parts for three actors and three actresses ranging in age from 20 to 45-ish. Auditionees will be asked to read scenes from the play during auditions.

Oxford University Press’ new edition of William Shakespeare’s works will credit Christopher Marlowe as co-author of the three Henry VI plays, underscoring that the playwright collaborated with others on some of his most famous works. Marlowe, a playwright, poet and spy, will share billing in the latest version of the New Oxford Shakespeare being published this week. While scholars have long suspected that Shakespeare’s plays included the work of others, new analytical methods helped researchers conclude that sections bore the hallmarks of Marlowe’s hand. “Shakespeare, like other geniuses, recognized the value of other people,” Gary Taylor, a professor at Florida State University and the principal investigator of the new work, said Monday. “What is Shakespeare famous for? Writing dialogue — interactions between two people. You would expect in his life there would be dialogue with other people.” A team of 23 international scholars looked afresh at the man many consider the greatest writer in the English language. The challenge, put simply: If one is going to compile the complete works of Shakespeare one first has to determine what they are. Five of the world’s most senior Shakespeare scholars —Taylor, Hugh Craig at the University of Newcastle in Australia, MacDonald P. Jackson at the University of Auckland in New Zealand; Gabriel Egan at De Montfort University, Leicester and John Jowett of the Shakespeare Institute at the University of Birmingham — had to be convinced of

the issues of authorship in the works. The editors concluded that 17 of 44 works associated with Shakespeare had input from others. The scholars used computerized data sets to reveal patterns, trends and associations — analyzing not only Shakespeare’s words, but also those of his contemporaries. In Shakespeare’s time, there was an insatiable demand for new material to feed the appetite of the first mass entertainment industry. A relatively small group of people — a cabal of sorts who knew one another — worked feverishly to meet this demand. Taylor compared them to screenwriters in the early days of Hollywood. To study them, the team of scholars used what Taylor described as the analytic equivalent of combining

voice recognition, fingerprints and DNA testing — looking for patterns to see how various authors and playwrights wrote and worked. “Shakespeare has now entered the world of big data,” Taylor said, adding that while the bard’s work has been studied intensively, that’s not always the case in the same measure for other writers of his generation. Still, he was adamant that this wasn’t just a case of “computers telling us things.” One needs to ask the right question. “What you need is a method that treats all the writers as the same and try to identify in an empirical way what distinguishes him as a writer — what makes him different than the others,” he said. Marlowe, born in 1564,

the same year as Shakespeare, was a graduate of Cambridge University who wrote poetry and plays such as the two part “Tamburlaine” and “Dido, Queen of Carthage.” A part-time spy for the government of Queen Elizabeth I, Marlowe is believed to have died in 1593 when he was stabbed under mysterious circumstances. Oxford University Press says that “identifying Marlowe’s hand in the Henry VI plays is just one of the fresh features of this project.” The authorship of Shakespeare’s works has long been disputed, with one now-discredited theory being that philosopher Sir Francis Bacon is the true author of the works. But Bacon is only mentioned in the forward of this volume. His authorship, Taylor said, is “just a wonderful story.”

Benyaro brings Get Out the South Pacific County Humane Society Vote tour to the North Coast to host Open House and BIG Raffle ASTORIA and LONG BEACH, Wash. — Wyoming indie roots and rock band Benyaro is bringing its Get Out The Vote fall tour to Clatsop and Pacific counties. Partnering with HeadCount and Rock the Vote, Benyaro has been performing across the U.S. since Aug. 14 to encourage voter registration and voting in November’s elections. The band will perform at 8 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 at Fort George Brewery, located at 1483 Duane St. in Astoria The show is free and open to all ages. The concert is an official Rock The Vote rally, where the band will motivate people to vote or vote early. Benyaro will also travel to Washington and perform with Jeff Crosby at the Pitchwood Alehouse in Raymond on Nov. 4 and at the Adrift Hotel in Long Beach on Election Day, Nov. 8. The band will talk at both shows about why voting is important. “After the show, we are open to more one-on-one discussions with anyone who approaches and wants to engage in that discussion.

said frontman Ben Musser. Of the civically minded tour, Musser said, “Voting is very important, no matter the choices. It may sound hyperbolic, but people die every day fighting to have that right. Many Americans take it for granted. I hope to encourage folks across the USA to shed cynicism, use your best judgment, and vote practically on Nov. 8.” This election season is particularly one of interest for Musser who attended The Hill School alongside

Donald Trump Jr. Despite those school boy ties, Musser is actively campaigning against his former classmate’s father. In conjunction with the tour, Benyaro released the first new material from the band’s sessions with Danny Kadar (The Avett Brothers, My Morning Jacket), recorded at Echo Mountain Studios in Asheville, North Carolina. The politically inspired song “Too Many Men” was released as a single to radio on Aug. 30 Mon-Sat 10 am - 8 pm Sun 12 Noon - 6 pm
