ILWACO, Wash. — Count Valters and the Zombie Band will be taking the stage at the River City Playhouse for their second annual Halloween Rock Concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30. The band will play some Halloween favorites that have stood the test of time. Count Valters and the Zombie 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, then realized he had enough material to present a concert to elementary students in the school district. With the help of his three sons — Lucas, Evan and Burton — they became Count Valters and the Zombie Rock ’n’ Roll Band. The group spent 10 years performing for local elementary schools. The band has also performed for KMUN’s Troll Radio Revue live radio variety show and has been featured in two concerts of the North Coast Symphonic Band. Count Valters and the Zombie Band is unable to continue its concerts for the schools.
rialize the lives of deceased loved ones while celebrating the continuity of life. Explore displays of altars, participate in family activities and shop for Day of the Dead trinkets and treats at a traditional Mexican mercado, or street market, as you learn more about this observance. The celebration will include a community altar. Visitors are invited to bring a photo or memento of a family member or friend who has passed to a place on the communal altar as an offering.

The sons have moved on to their careers and are no longer residents of the Long Beach Peninsula, and their work schedules make it impossible to perform during the school day.

This weekend’s concert gives another opportunity to watch the band and fall under its spell. Admission is a $5 suggested donation fee and free to those 18 and under who are in costume.

November is the perfect time to read this book for the first time, or revisit it again. The Columbia-Pacific region desperately needs a 90-inch rain year, like in 2012.
The prose of Ken Kesey’s “Sometimes a Great Notion” ingeniously and miraculously mimics rainfall.

The greatest book on rain:
Ken Kesey’s ‘Sometimes a Great Notion’
In his classic 1964 novel “Sometimes a Great Notion,” set on the Oregon Coast, Ken Kesey wrote, “Give me a dark smeary shiny night full of rain. That’s when the fear starts. That’s when you sell the juice.” Having resided at the Oregon Coast for 18 years, I can’t think of a truer sentence written about rain or living here. Over some 500 pages, “Sometimes a Great Notion” unfolds the saga of the stubborn Stampers, a family gyppo logging out¿t in conÀict with nature, their community, and each other. Their family motto is: “Never give a inch.” (And yes, it’s ungrammatical.) The novel takes place as October fades into November. Meaning, right now. The season of rain. November is the perfect time to read this book for the ¿rst time, or revisit it again, like so many of us do. I’ve read it four times and underlined hundreds of passages. I like to think if thousands of people read “Sometimes a Great Notion” this month, it might actually start raining like it’s supposed to around here. We desperately need a 90-inch rain year, like 2012. It rained all 30 days straight in November in Newport where I lived that year. We reveled in the juice. I’m dying for another 90-inch year. The whole region is. I consider “Sometimes a Great Notion” the greatest book on rain in the history of world literature. Why does it hold the title? Because the novel rains words in all the eclectic and unique ways rain falls on the coast — from staccato to torrent to barely a pulse. The prose ingeniously and miraculously mimics rainfall. Why? Because the word “rain” appears six times in the novel’s ¿rst page and is used as a noun, verb and adjective. Why? Because the word “rain” appears 500, possibly 1,000 times in the novel and animates everything from Teddy the Bartender to
rivers to the reader. Why? Because Kesey integrates the Sermon on the Mount with rain’s culpability. Why? Because Kesey hews a landscape from the hues of rain, which is, of course, a physical and literary impossibility. Or it was until “Sometimes a Great Notion” was published and despised by the New York critics who used umbrellas and thought Gene Kelly dancing in spurious rain was the apotheosis of synthesizing rain with art. Why? Well, read this passage from “Sometimes a Great Notion”: The Halloween clouds had continued to roll off the sea all the rumbling night — a surly multitude, angry at being kept waiting so long, and full of moody determination to make up for time lost. Pouring out rain as they went, they had rolled over the beaches and town and into the farmlands and low hills, finally piling headlong up against the wall of the Coastal Range mountains with a soft, massive inertia. All night long. A few piled to the mountaintops and over into the Willamette Valley with their overloads of rain, but the majority, the great bulk of that multitude gathered and blown from the distant stretches of the sea, came rebounding heavily back into the other clouds. They exploded above the town like colliding lakes. Where are you, surly multitude? Fall and make me grin. If you do, I’ll give you (and Kesey) a subtle bow before my ¿rst rain walk of the season, and then I’ll sit down and open “Sometimes a Great Notion” again. There is always something new there, just like rain. Matt Love lives in Astoria. He is the author/ editor of 14 books, including “Of Walking in Rain,” his account of one of the rainiest years in Oregon history. His books are available through nestuccaspitpress.com and coastal bookstores.

Love Gigantic will perform at the Sou’Wester Lodge at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 31.
Love Gigantic to perform at Sou’Wester Hear 1970s-style rock ‘n’ roll at Halloween dance party SEAVIEW, Wash. — The 6ou’Wester Lodge will host the 1970s-esque rock music of Love Gigantic, performing at 7 p.m. 6aturday, Oct. 31. Get spooky with rock ‘n’ roll and a dance party. In the spring of 2012, after performing a wide range of music with incredible players for most of her life, lead singer 6arah King decided it was high time to put together a project of her own. It didn’t take long for her to decide who the dream team would include. 6he asked those musicians to come out and play; naturally, they all said yes.
Along with King, the sextet of Love Gigantic features Chet Lyster on guitar; David Langenes on guitar; Lara Michell on keys; Arthur Parker on bass and Ryan Moore on drums. The band’s self-titled debut full-length album, “Love Gigantic,” was released in August 2014. The band plays ¿nely crafted fresh rock music reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and 6outhern California in the late 1970s. “Collectively, the six members of Love Gigantic have an impressive resume that covers considerable musical ground

in the Portland scene and beyond,” wrote Chris Young in a November 2014 article in Vortex Music Magazine. The band’s debut full-length album was released in August 2014. “Full of rich harmonies, some wicked guitar solos and perfectly placed percussion, the whole (album) feels like the complete package with more than a few earworms you’ll likely ¿nd yourself softly humming after you’ve shut off the stereo ... It’s obvious that music is a lifestyle for Love Gigantic and something they do for the love of it. “‘What role doesn’t it play?’ they question. ‘Music makes everything else bearable. And it gives us a chance to wear fake leather pants.’” The 6ou’Wester is located at 3728 J Place. For more information, call 360-642-2542.

Fever Damn
With the season of the witch gearing up again, Coast Weekend chatted with some local musicians about their favorite harvest songs, murder ballads and monster tunes. From obscure to obvious, there is enough trick in this list of treats to keep your cauldron brewing and your party howling well past midnight.
Holiday Friends
Astoria’s reigning pop princes shared a few spooky tunes heavy on the groove. The indie-rock goup includes, from left, Zack O’Connor, Scott Fagerland, Jon Fagerland and Joey Ficken. Catch the Holiday Friends at The Crystal Ballroom in Portland on Dec. 2 or any day at www.holidayfriendsmusic.com
Luke Ydstie & Kati Claborn
When they aren’t playing in Blind Pilot or Hook & Anchor, Luke Ysdtie and Kati Claborn can often be found playing around town together, as they will be this Halloween night at the Fort George Lovell Building around 7 p.m. See them channel some of these haunting tunes and check out Luke’s recently released solo album “Collected Essential Works.” “The Werewolf” by Michael Hurley: “A beautiful lilting melody with the most complex character study of a werewolf in song to date.” — Luke Ysdtie
“The Shankhill Butchers” by The Decemberists: “This song is a cautionary tale about what happens to children who don’t heed their mothers words. Those poor, unfortunate souls who disobey their parents are given up to the Shankhill Butchers, who come for them with cleavers, knives and all manner of nightmare fodder.” — Zack O’Connor “Helter Skelter” by The Beatles: “The words ‘Helter Skelter’ have lots of spooky meanings.” — Scott Fagerland “Thriller” by Michael Jackson: “Because we love Michael Jackson, we love good pop music and Michael Jackson is the KING OF POP!” — Scott Fagerland “Zombie” by The Cranberries: “Because … Zombies. Also The Cranberries are a staple in my life music playlist. Ironically though, this has got to be one of my least favorite Cranberry songs.” — Scott Fagerland
“Lady Margaret,” traditional English ballad : “This creepy ghost song dates to the 1600s and features some wonderfully chill-inducing imagery, including corpsey-lips and beds floating in blood. Yikes.” —Luke Ysdtie “In the Pines” by Leadbelly: “Nirvana did a version of this, which is notable for a wonderful doomy, lo-fi thrashiness, but Leadbelly’s more nuanced performance contains a slight cheery edge, which somehow creeps the whole thing up that much more.” — Luke Ydstie “Edward,” traditional English ballad “Edward’s Wife: ‘How’d you get that blood on your sleeve?’ Edward: ‘Oh, that’s from my horse. I mean my dog. Shoot, did I say dog? I mean your brother.’” —Luke Ydstie “This is Halloween” by Danny Elfman (From the motion picture “The Nightmare before Christmas”) : “If we wanted an encapsulation of Halloween to explain the holiday to aliens, this would be a fair candidate.” — Luke Ydstie
Hollywise
These pop punk practitioners from Seaside offer up some scary and fun tunes at a faster pace. From left, Zach Spooner, Josh Strozzi, Maxwell Strozzi and Mitchell Stephens.
Check out their Reverb Nation page for info on upcoming shows. “Dig Up Her Bones” by The Misfits, recommended by Maxx Strozzi: “Dig up her bones starts with the cry of a coyote followed by a driving intro that’s sure to get a crowd moving.” — Mitchell Stephens “Halloween” by The Misfits, recommended by Maxx Strozzi : “Lyrics that reminisce of pumpkin carving and other Halloween traditions are sang in an early punk, Ramones fashion.” — Mitchell Stephens “This is Halloween” by Marilyn Manson: “Marilyn Manson’s take on, ‘This is Halloween’ definitely puts a more metal spin on the set list. An even creepier, heavier version when compared to the original by Danny Elfman.” — Mitchell Stephens “Ghostbusters” by Jedward: “There’s definitely an inner child in all adults that begins to get excited when hearing this tune.” — Mitchell Stephens “My Curse” by Killswitch Engage : “This song is a much more melodic hardcore ballad that intensifies any party and gets people pumped for a good time.” — Mitchell Stephens
It is evident from any of their music videos available on Youtube that the ladies of Astoria’s Fever Damn know how to have a good time. And while Andrea Mazzarella, left, and Teresa Barnes may be known more for summertime jamming by way of ’90s-era hip-hop, these terrifying tunes cross plenty of genres. Check out their album “Meow Down” at feverdamn. bandcamp.com “Monster Mash” by Bobby Pickett: “Play it five times in a row.” — Teresa Barnes “Season of the Witch” by Donovan: “I listen to the song ‘Season of the Witch’ by Donovan any time of year, but Halloween seems as good a time as any to put it into the regular rotation.” — Andrea Mazzarella “Red Right Hand” by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds : “Or really probably any of his songs.” — Andrea Mazzarella “Nightmare on my Street” by DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince: “I guess I should throw in something in the ’90s hip-hop genre since our ‘sound’ reflects that influence. There’s The Fresh Prince song ‘Nightmare on My Street,’ which is cheesy and ridiculous, but then again so is Fever Damn.” — Andrea Mazzarella

SEASIDE — The Crazy Eights Author Tour will come to the Seaside Public Library at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29. The tour is sort of like speed dating with authors. A pool of 27 award-winning Oregon authors divide up into groups of eight, hit eight venues in eight Oregon towns this fall, and each author speaks for eight minutes about their books and their writing life. Oregon author George Byron Wright came up with the idea for the tour on a road trip. The intention was to stimulate more interest in Oregon’s writing and publishing communities by connecting them with readers, booksellers and libraries in an exciting way. The ¿rst tour took place in the fall of 2012. It was fast and furious and audiences loved it, as did the authors. “The tour is totally volunteer,” said Wright. “It has been the generosity of the authors along with the eagerness of booksellers and librarians that has made it work. Our authors are passionate about supporting independent bookstores, libraries and our communities of readers.” This year, the tour stops in Albany, Beaverton, Corvallis, Cottage Grove, Eugene, Salem, Seaside and Stayton.

BRAVING THE GRAVEYARD OF THE PACIFIC N

We remain fascinated by the stories behind local shipwrecks. They represent the best of people in the worst of circumstances Story by DAN HAAG
Nicknames aren’t easy to shake. While they may not always be a badge of honor, a nickname can serve as a useful cautionary tale. Such is the case with the waterways in the &olumbia 3aci¿c region, long ago dubbed the “Graveyard of the 3aci¿c´ by wary mariners.
What’s in a name?
7he title “Graveyard of the 3acific´ wasn’t given lightly. Our regions’ coastal waterways earned that moniker on merit. The area stretches from Tillamook Bay on the Oregon Coast northward to Cape Scott Provincial Park on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. A combination of unpredictable weather conditions combine with coastal characteristics have caused a significant number of wrecks in this area. The title likely originated from the earliest days of the maritime fur trade. Incomplete charts and out-dated navigational techniques led to increasing numbers of traders’ ships being wrecked. If this region is the graveyard, than its headquarters is the Columbia Bar, which has claimed 2,000 vessels and 700 lives since 1792. Here, ships often battle strong winds and mighty swells. In 1862, U.S. Navy Cmdr. Charles Wilkes 12 | October 29, 2015 | coastweekend.com
gave this grim assessment: “Mere description can give but little idea of the terrors of the bar of the Columbia; all who have seen it have spoken of the wilderness of the ocean, and the incessant roar of the waters, representing it as one of the most fearful sights that can possibly meet the eye of the sailor.´ One only needs to see the skeleton of the Peter Iredale embedded in the sand on Clatsop Spit in Fort Stevens State Park to be reminded of these dangers. “The Columbia River is one of the most dangerous waterways in the world,´ says -eff Smith, curator at the Columbia River Maritime Museum. Still, people are fascinated by the stories behind these men and ships. They represent the best of people in the worst of circumstances. Chris Dewey, adjunct instructor of anthropology and archaeology at Clatsop Community College, says these stories hold historical importance for our area. “Shipwrecks hold a special place in peoples’ imagination,´ he says. “They bring together the romance of the sea and the mystery of how the vessel met its ultimate fate. For centuries, brave sailors ventured over the horizon to places unknown only to run afoul of enemies, weather or bad luck. Shipwrecks can tell those stories.´
The Mimi
The Mimi was a German barque that ran aground on the beach at Manzanita in 1913. She had become lost in dense fog, and the ship’s master mistook the Nehalem River for the Columbia River. Amazingly, not a single crewman was lost in the wreck. But things would take a turn for the worse. A salvage operation ensued April 6, 1913 with a team of 26 men. The group included the ship’s captain, insurance representatives, and crewmen. Engineers were on hand to operate a “steam donkey,´ a steam-powered winch employed by the maritime and lumber industries. The plan was to use the winch to help dislodge the Mimi from the sand. “The ship was in pretty good shape when it ran aground,´ says Tom Mock, president of the Nehalem Valley Historical Society. “They decided they needed to remove the ballast to move it, and it became too top heavy.´ During the operation, a heavy storm and high surf rolled in. The pull of the steam donkey caused the barque to capsize or “turn turtle.´ Twenty-two men were suddenly trapped inside the Mimi’s hull or clinging to her rigging with night falling. The Daily Capital, a Salem newspaper, recounted the events: “The fate of the men is held a secret by the fury of the ocean, which
has made rescue impossible. Darkness tonight saw the ¿gures of men clinging to the boat, and the wind brought their cries for help to the ears of 1,000 or more people gathered on the shore nearby, but every attempt at rescue met with failure«´ Only four men were saved. Manzanita beach has seen its fair share of wrecks: the Frances Leggett sank in 1914 with 65 lives lost; the Oakland beached in 1916; the Glenesslin ran aground near the base of Neahkahnie Mountain in 1913. In her 2004 book “At The Foot Of The Mountain,´ author -ane Comerford noted that “by the turn of the 19th century, and into the 1920s, beached vessels were a somewhat common event.´ “You get in the lee of Neahkahnie Mountain, and it’s real dif¿cult to turn back,´ Mock says.
The Vaslav Vorovsky
In November 1941, the freighter Vaslav Vorovsky became the ¿rst Russian vessel to wreck on the Columbia River bar. All things considered, the crew was very fortunate. Loaded with heavy cargo, the ship encountered a ferocious gale and attempted to turn back before suffering a steering malfunction. Helpless, the ship grounded on Peacock Spit near the Columbia’s mouth and was soon broken apart by the surf. Fortunately, all of the 37 crew

Russian sailors abandon the doomed freighter Vaslav Vorovsky, which wrecked in the Columbia River in 1941.
were rescued thanks the prompt actions of the U.S. Coast Guard. Smith enjoys recounting the human story that sprang from the Russian freighter’s demise. Early in his tenure at the Columbia River Maritime Museum, Smith came across a collection of photographs that depicted the wreck of the vessel and the ensuing rescue of its crew. He noticed several different spellings of the ship’s name and decided to dig deeper. “It was early in my time at the museum, and it kind of became my shipwreck,´ Smith says. “It was just one of those stories that wouldn’t quit.´ He began to research the background of the incident and the people involved. “The crew got safely away, but the captain refused to leave,´ Smith says. “Russian captains were apparently under strict orders from Stalin not to leave their ships or face severe consequences.´ The Coast Guard returned the next day and was able to convince the captain to leave. The fact that the ship was breaking apart under him helped mitigate his fear of Stalin. Smith says determining the facets to the story was only the ¿rst phase. Several years later, a woman visited the mar-
itime museum and inquired after information on the grounding of a Russian freighter in the river. Smith met with the woman and came to ¿nd that her husband had been with the Coast Guard during the rescue of the Russian crew. “It was a story he told her and then shared with his kids,´ Smith says. “They all grew up hearing about the Vaslav Vorovsky.´ One crewman had been so thankful for his rescue that he gave the woman’s husband a set of spoons from the ship. In the course of his conversation with the woman, Smith mentioned that the maritime museum would be a great place for the spoons. “About two weeks later I get this padded envelope with four spoons,´ he says. “On the back of each was the name of the ship stamped in Cyrillic writing.´ While the crew and captain were returned safely to Russia, the captain was never heard from again.
‘The Columbia River is one of the most dangerous waterways in the world.’

Formed in May 2015 in Astoria, the Marine Archeology Society has set out to search for, identify and document shipwrecks in Oregon and Washington. The society has already worked on projects

with the National Park Service at the Lewis and Clark National Historical Park, and the Garibaldi and Columbia River Maritime Museums. Dewey, founder and president of MAS, is eager to ¿nd the stories that are hidden within so much sunken history. He believes that the causes of shipwrecks and glimpses into the lives of the sailors aboard are vitally important to the bigger historical picture. “In some cases, shipwrecks can provide new insight into the lives of passengers and maybe tell us something new about past societies,´ he says. Dewey adds that while the larger, more famous wrecks capture most of the attention, he is intrigued by smaller, relatively unknown vessels that are wrecked around the area. Case in point was the survey MAS recently conducted of a small boat wreck in Lewis and Clark National Historical Park. Trained volunteers went out to the park at low tide and took measurements of the boat’s details, made drawings of the site, and took photographs. Dewey says MAS plans to conduct oral history interviews and compare the drawings to vessels at the Columbia River Maritime Museum and at Pier 39’s Bumble Bee Cannery Museum. MAS is also in the process of raising money to purchase an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV) kit that will be assembled and operated by students from Clatsop Community
• The Vaslav Vorovsky was part of the Lend Lease Program, in which the United States supplied Free France, United Kingdom, the Republic of China, and later the USSR and other Allied nations with food, oil and machinery to fight Nazi Germany. • A table that belonged to Ben Lane, first mayor of Manzanita, was recently located at CRMM and brought to NVHS for display. The tabletop is teak from the still-mysterious beeswax ship, and the legs are wood from the Mimi. • When the Frances Leggett sank off Manzanita in 1914, her cargo of railroad ties washed ashore and was quickly salvaged by locals to use in house construction. • Peacock Spit is named for the U.S. Navy sloop USS Peacock, which wrecked at the foot of the promontory marking the north side of the Columbia River’s entrance in 1841. The partially submerged sand pit there became known as Peacock Spit.
College and Warrenton High School. Dewey says the goal of the project is to use the ROV to search for, identify and monitor underwater cultural heritage sites in Clatsop County and the surrounding areas. “We are not treasure hunters; we seek information not gold or silver,´ he says. “Maritime archaeology is important because shipwrecks are links to our past.´
Those in peril on the sea
Major wrecks are now few and far between since the sailing ship gave way to power, but the danger is ever-present. A mix of container ships, ¿shing vessels and recreational craft still vie for space on the ocean and the Columbia on any given day, and the dangerous conditions will always be there to challenge them. Thanks to the vigilance of the U.S. Coast Guard and the Columbia River Bar Pilots, recreational and commercial shipping have safeguards that mariners of 100 years ago couldn’t have imagined. In the meantime, mariners continue to put faith in their experience, each other and their vessels. Capt. H. Lawrence, master of the Peter Iredale, offered a ¿nal, thankful toast to the vessel that brought his men to shore in 1906: “May God bless you, and may your bones bleach in the sands.´ October 29, 2015 | coastweekend.com | 13

Working-class Seaside eatery serves up solid value

I’d never heard of a “chicken box.â€? (It’s like a doggy-bag but for birds.) That was before I set foot in the Sea Breeze Restaurant & Lounge, where such requests are commonplace. “Oh yeah, people ask for chicken boxes all the time,â€? server Alice says to a customer who piles in her leftover fries. Despite its name, the Sea Breeze feels a little more country than coastal, more working-class than tourist trap. Nestled at the intersection of U.S. Highways 26 and 101, it’s almost like a time machine to when everything was made of wood, when steaks were king, and every plate came garnished with a little piece of parsley. On the more lively bar side, over the glow and plinking of video slots and country music radio, you’ll hear the latest on logging politics, woebegone recitations of off-roading adventures gone awry and tall tales from the hunt. It’s been this way, more or less, since the 1950s, and I gather little has changed. From the steak-is-king menu to the aged decor, you can almost taste the burnt coffee.

Author Bill Hall imagines utopia, revises history in ‘McCallandia’ at Seaside library SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library welcome Bill Hall author of “McCallandia” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 5. The event will take place in the Community Room, and there will be book sales and signings afterwards. “McCallandia: A Utopian Novel,” imagines the iconic Oregon Gov. Tom McCall becoming president of the United States and the nation taking a different, better path. McCall, who served as Oregon’s governor from 1967 to 1975, is best remembered for his quip, encouraging outsiders to “visit, but don’t stay.” But his administration saw an unmatched record of accomplishment, especially in the environmental arena — the Bottle Bill, Beach Bill, statewide land-use planning and the cleanup of the Willamette River.

¿rst and only state-sponsored rock festival, Vortex I. In “McCallandia,” the governor has the chance to take those ideas to the national stage when he becomes Richard Nixon’s choice to replace Spiro Agnew after a scandal forced the vice president’s resignation in 1973. When the Watergate scandal brings down Nixon the following year, it is McCall, not Gerald Ford, who steps into the presidency. Published by Nestucca Spit Press, “McCallandia” has a structure all its own, combining conventional narrative
with imaginary magazine and newspaper articles, diary excerpts, interviews and oral history transcripts. For fans of Tom McCall, and anyone with an appreciation for Oregon’s proud history of looking at things a little differently, this utopian novel imagines what could have been. Bill Hall is a Lincoln County commissioner who grew up during McCall’s governorship and was inspired by his example to pursue careers in journalism and politics.

FILM REVIEW
A vibrant Mulligan brings historic struggle to life in ‘Suffragette’ Review by JOCELYN NOVECK AP National Writer
First the bad news: “Suffragette” isn’t a Meryl Streep movie, despite what you may have seen in the trailer. She has but a few moments of screen time. And now the good news: It’s a Carey Mulligan movie. Mulligan, like Streep, is simply a mesmerizing actress, one who can make even pedestrian material sing with the honesty, sophistication and nuance she brings to every role, on screen or stage (count yourself eternally lucky if you caught her recent Broadway run in “Skylight.”) In “Suffragette,” which without her would be a far, far less compelling movie, she doesn’t merely entertain us with her skill. She brings to vibrant life an important part of our global history that’s easy to forget — the struggle for a woman’s right to vote. The story of the “suffragettes” in early 20th century Britain may bring to mind the joyously daffy Mrs. Banks singing “Sister Suffragette” in “Mary Poppins.” But even though that character spoke jovially of women chain-
5
$
ing themselves to wheels or being carried off to prison, “Suffragette” reminds us that the ¿ght involved violence, hunger strikes, bombings, beatings, even death. Though the movie, directed by Sarah Gavron, includes real-life characters like Emmeline Pankhurst (Streep) and Emily Wilding Davison (Natalie Press), who both have tiny but crucial roles, its main character is an amalgam. Maud Watts (Mulligan) is a 24-year-old mother who spends her days working in the same fetid laundry — awful chemicals, brutal hours, sexual abuse from the boss — where her own mother labored. Almost accidentally, Maud falls in with a group of women activists whose fight for the vote is gaining steam — and desperation. A fellow laundry worker is due to testify before a government committee on the issue, but a beating has left her unable to appear, and Maud is drafted. (“Are you a suffragette now?” her husband asks, suspiciously.) Her simple, heartfelt answers move the male lawmakers, but the measure fails. When that defeat is announced publicly,
it leads to a melee in which women are beaten by police and dragged to prison, Maud among them. Her furious husband (Ben Whishaw) insists that Maud never “shame” him like this again. (Like virtually every male character here, he is wholly unenlightened.) But soon enough, Maud is compelled to go hear a speech from the movement’s leader, Pankhurst, who speaks briefly from a balcony before fleeing the police. Maud manages a quick word with Pankhurst as she’s hurrying off: “Never surrender,” the elder woman says. And so Maud doesn’t. She returns home to discover her husband has kicked her out, banning her from seeing their 4-year-old son. She finds quarters with fellow suffragettes and becomes more emboldened by the day. She attacks her abusive boss. Facing the police inspector (Brendan Gleeson) who pursues her like Javert pursues Valjean in “Les Miserables,” she tells him that the suffragettes are waging war because it’s “the only language men listen to.” Mulligan — whose portrayal is really the only tru-
ly nuanced one in the film, though Helena Bonham Carter gives fine support as a fellow warrior — finds a way to project determination and zeal but also sadness and hopelessness, all at once. The scene where she loses custody of her son is truly wrenching. As is the scene where she’s force-fed in prison to thwart her hunger strike. The film ends with a recreation of a shocking, seminal moment in the suffragette movement — one best not revealed here. And then, during credits, we’re given a list of countries across the globe, along with the year they granted women the right to vote. (France: 1944. Switzerland: 1971. Saudi Arabia: “Promised.”) If anything, “Suffragette” should have an impact the next time any of us are feeling too busy or tired to vote. “Suffragette,” a Focus Features release, is rated PG-13 by the Motion Picture Association of America for “some intense violence, thematic elements, brief strong language and partial nudity.” Running time: 106 minutes. Three stars out of four.

What’s your favorite scary movie? Staying in on Halloween doesn’t mean you can’t get your spook on. Coast Weekend rounded up experts from local video stores to offer some more recent film recommendations guaranteed to horrify your home theaters. This is Part Two of Two. By RYAN HUME a case of the Warrens, the real-life The Conjuring (2013) Rated R Recommended by Jenna Johnston Video Depot 575 S. Roosevelt Drive, Seaside 503-738-6095 The takeaway: This James Wan-directed horror flick is based on
paranormal investigators whose media-hyped forays into the supernatural (they were one of the first on the scene of what would become known as the Amityville haunting, which spawned its own film franchise) got a lot of ink in the ’60s and ’70s. Here, the Warrens are played soberly by Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga, but the real attraction are the elaborate tricks and supernatural scenarios that pump fresh blood into the haunted house genre. Recommended for: Anyone looking for a classic ghost story in 1970s wardrobe with some fresh chills thrown in. Surround sound is a plus. 1408 (2007) Rated PG-13 Recommended by Larry Gresham Nehalem Bay Video 733 Manzanita Ave., Manzanita 503-368-5538 The takeaway: As the current season of FX’s “American Horror Sto-

Hydnellum peckii
Bleeding Hydnellum
ry” would like to remind us, it’s not just houses that can be haunted; hotels too can have terrible pasts and a penchant for undoing their occupants. This chiller, based on a short story by Stephen King, stars John Cusack as a failed novelist who has turned to debunking haunted places for a paycheck. Samuel L. Jackson offers some atmosphere in the first act as the stern harbinger and hotel manager who implores Cusack’s Mike Enslin to not check in to the infamous room. But once the door shuts, this is Cusack’s show as he encounters all manner of psychological spooks. Recommend for: You don’t have to be old enough to remember the boom box scene in “Say Anything” to enjoy this well-paced genre entry.
The soaking rains and heavy autumn mists so common to our coastline bring with them an abundance of fungi each year. Some are delectable treasures, prized by chefs and local foragers; others are deadly and poisonous. While the Bleeding Hydnellum won’t kill you, it’s not considered an edible mushroom (meaning: It tastes horrible, and will likely upset your stomach). That said, coming across one in the woods is still a pure delight. Known commonly as the Red-juice Tooth or Strawberries and Cream, this mushroom’s most prominent feature lies in the beads of blood-red droplets that emerge from the fresh cap.
Lovers of pine and spruce forests, they spring up from the ground within piles of tree needles and are very tough and fibrous. The underside of the cap has toothlike spines (instead of gills or a spongey spore base), and as this species matures, its pale pink center becomes dark, almost black, in color. Fiber artists adore this mushroom for its ability to dye yarn; when harvested properly, it yields marvelous shades of blue and green.
Araneus diadematus The Cross orbweaver spider
Perhaps the most common spider to appear in Northwest gardens, the Cross orbweaver is actually indigenous to Northern Europe and likely arrived to North America during the age of
exploration. Typically orange-brown or light yellow, it can also be dark gray, but its distinguishing characteristic is the mottled markings across its back, which are always accompanied by five or more white dots, forming what looks like a cross. The females are the largest and most noticeable of these spiders, making a strong presence in gardens, open fields, and in the eaves of buildings from late summer through fall. Known for her beautiful, intricate webs, the orbweaver exudes spider silk from three pairs of “spinnerets” located at the tip of her abdomen. By day, she waits at the center of her web or at a nearby retreat post until a flying insect becomes ensnared. Once captured, she quickly wraps it in more silk to prepare it for exsanguination. Cross spiders are said to eat their webs every night, recycling any leftover bug bodies along with the silk, which is reabsorbed by the spider and turned into a fresh web by morning. Though quite unpleasant, the orbweaver’s bite is essentially harmless to humans.

North Jetty Brewing in Seaview, Washington has two seasonal offerings. Brewer Erik Svendsen says of their Seaview Autumn Blueberry Rye, “The rye gives it some spiciness that we use to balance out the 126 pounds of blueberry puree.” The beer has the aroma and some sweetness and flavor of blueberries plus caramel flavor from crystal malt. “It doesn’t scream fruit beer,” says Svendsen. “The blueberries are part of the whole, not out in front of it.” The other seasonal offering is the Graveyard of the Pacific Imperial Red Ale, a big beer with strong malt and caramel flavors to balance the hops. It’s made in collaboration with Heathen Brewing in Vancouver, Washington.
