View artwork ‘From the Pile’ Artists repurposed trash, discarded materials into art ASTORIA — The Coastal Oregon Artist Residency Program, a joint project of Astoria Visual Arts and Recology Western Oregon, will host “From the Pile,” an exhibition and reception for current artists-in-residence Sean Barrow and Dawn Stetzel from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Oct. 7 at the Gallery Underground, located at 1125 Marine Drive. The exhibition will also be on view during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 with a gallery walk-through with the artists beginning at 6 p.m. Additional viewing hours will be held the following weekend from noon to 5 p.m. Oct. 15 and 16. This exhibition is the culmination of three months of work by Barrow and Stetzel, who worked in studio space at the Recology office in Warrenton and scavenged materials from Recology Western Oregon’s Astoria Recycling Depot and Transfer Station to make art and promote recycling and reuse. “Having access to the materials and objects and strange things that come through the transfer station has really inspired me,” Barrow says in his artist statement. “The whole scope of humanity’s created works gets tossed every day; it is amazing to witness it — smell it — pick through it — and have some weird piece of it grab and compel me to make it into something new.” Stetzel engineers sculptures that allow her to navigate specific environments. During her residency, she created “Ski Cart,” a sculpture made with materials

from the area in which it’s meant to maneuver: the edges of places where nature and humans collide leaving a seemingly messy residue. “The massive pile of trash at Recology’s transfer station reads to me as a mountainous landscape, one in which I think about literally and metaphorically,” Stetzel says. “How can I navigate through this landscape of waste? Within my work I think about perceptions of safety and how to survive in a potentially unsafe environment.” The Coastal Oregon

Artists Residency was established earlier this year as a joint project of AVA and Recology to encourage the conservation of natural resources and instill a greater public appreciation for the environment and art. COAR is open to local, career-level artists living in Clatsop and Tillamook Counties in Oregon and Pacific and Wahkiakum Counties in Washington who are working in any style or medium.

Raised in the deep South, in a church where instruments were not allowed, Lee grew up shape-note singing, learning to make music only with the voice. “Harmonies were a part of daily life. Music wasn’t music without three parts. We would sing songs from our old blue church hymnal — it was the one place where everyone could meet without agreeing on dogma,” she said. A move to New York City as a teenager gave her the chance to use her vocal chops beyond her front porch, and she began a 10-

LONG BEACH, Wash. —Ara Lee, when pressed, calls herself a singer-songwriter. But the image of a wispy, soft-voiced, guitar strummer that might come to mind couldn’t be farther from what she does. Call it soul, call it folk, call it gospel, Lee sings like a woman with something to say, in a voice that makes you stop and listen, with lyrics that make you remember why you decided to be human once upon a time. Known for her commanding stage presence, Lee’s shows, often called “musical church,” cut straight to the gut. Hear her perform at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Peninsula Arts Center. Lee

‘Oregon Visions’

Printmaker Stirling Gorsuch investigates the effects of time on landscapes in a new exhibition at Cannon Beach History Center & Museum

By NANCY MCCARTHY

Stirling Gorsuch is fascinated by how time shapes a landscape. But the linocuts, etchings, monotypes and other print work he will exhibit at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum also demonstrate how time has shaped the artist since his childhood in Cannon Beach. “It’s a progression,” Gorsuch said of the exhibit, titled “Oregon Visions,” to be displayed beginning Saturday, Oct. 8. “It shows a maturation; it’s an assortment of things I’ve done in Clatsop County and in Bend.” The local landscape — hiking trails through majestic forests, ocean waves crashing against rocks, beach bonfires and stars set against a dark sky — influenced Gorsuch as a youth. Later, when he lived in the Bend area, forest fires, blizzards and dramatically changing seasons inspired him. He observed how the environment changed even in a few hours, as the sun and clouds passed overhead. “This exhibit is from a couple of years ago when I tried to integrate abstract shapes and symbols as ways of showing the passage of time in one scene,” Gorsuch said. Window panes also often are used to show the effects of time moving across nature. “It’s kind of like memory — seeing a place at a certain time, and this is the recording of that time,” Gorsuch said. Coastal subjects are his favorite, said Gorsuch, who

now works in Portland. His life in Cannon Beach brings back some nostalgia. “It’s a magical place; people are drawn to it for a reason,” he said. “It’s a compelling place, with the colors and the light — they change so fast.” To capture the landscapes, Gorsuch works from his photos

and drawings. Sometimes, the message he is trying to make or the emotions he tries to evoke don’t come easily. “At the base of Neahkahnie Mountain, there’s one tree I’ve probably done five different versions of,” he said. “It’s

Continued from Pg. 4 teasing apart something that doesn’t come easily.” His view of his environment may have been kindled by his parents and Cannon Beach residents, Bonny and Richard Gorsuch. Bonny is a fabric artist and Richard is a painter — he once painted images of Haystack Rock every day for a year. “They didn’t try to force me to be an artist; they encouraged me. Being around working artists forces you to look at the world differently,” Gorsuch said. “It was a great upbringing.” He attended Cannon Beach Elementary School and, later, Clatsop Community College. He was one of the last students to study under the late painter and printmaker Royal Nebeker, who Gorsuch called “an amazing artist.” After receiving the honor of “Student of the Year” in the college’s art department and graduating in 2013, Gorsuch went on to Oregon State University, where he studied with Japanese printmaker Yuji Hiratsuka and became his teaching assistant. Gorsuch graduated summa cum laude with a fine arts degree from OSU last year.

He works at Gamblin Artists Colors in Portland, which manufactures the inks he has worked with for years. Gorsuch had always been curious about how the inks were made. His job, he said, “is like scratching my own itch.” The exhibit at the Cannon Beach History Center & Museum is one of several exhibits he has had locally and in Astoria, Portland, Corvallis and Bend. “I remember going on a field trip there when I was in Cannon Beach Elementary School,” he said. “It’s a venue dear to my heart.” Elaine Murdy-Trucke, the history center’s executive director, said she met Gorsuch when he began displaying his art at the Cannon Beach Gallery. His work, she added is a “great fit for the museum.” “I know that he comes from a family of artists, but Stirling clearly has his own voice and vision,” Murdy-Trucke said. “As an avid hiker and lover of Oregon’s natural world, his work speaks to me. It reminds me of all of the trails I’ve walked, all the trails I’ve yet to walk. It reminds me of all of our beautiful places, the forests, our beaches; it truly is Oregon. The Oregon that I love,” she added.

‘OREGON VISIONS’ RECEPTION Stirling Gorsuch’s exhibit, “Oregon Visions” at the Oregon History Center & Museum begins with a reception for the artist at 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. The exhibit will be on display through November. In addition to Gorsuch, more local artists will be invited to exhibit at the center in the future, said the center’s executive director, Elaine Murdy-Trucke. “I want visitors to the museum to learn the history of our town and hopefully get to know some of the artists that live here,” Murdy-Trucke said. The museum, 1387 S. Spruce St., is open from 1 to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Monday and is donation based. For more information, call 503-436-9301 or visit the Cannon Beach History Center’s website.

How are the liberal arts important to STEM? CCC president to deliver first Ales & Ideas lecture ASTORIA — Clatsop Community College and Fort George Brewery announce the kickoff event in the 2016-17 Ales & Ideas community lecture series. On Thursday, Oct. 6, CCC’s new president, Chris Breitmeyer, will present the talk “STEAM Rising: Why A Science Guy is Not Worried About His Daughter Majoring in Poetry.” Doors open with food and beverage service at 6 p.m., and the lecture will begin at 7 p.m. The Fort George Lovell Showroom is located at 14th and Duane streets. Minors are welcome. CCC’s new President will discuss the importance

of a liberal arts education to those pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and math. The acronym “STEAM” takes the standard STEM formulation (science, technology, engineering and math) and adds an A for arts. Nationwide, colleges and universities are re-embracing the value of the liberal arts education, not only for its own sake, but because they recognize the ways in which the curriculum supports the creative thinking and design skills that allow students to apply STEM skills in the workplace. Breitmeyer’s talk will discuss the similarities between the scientific method and the creative process. Although the swing of the educational pendulum is currently on the side of skill acquisition and “hard” sciences and career

focus, Breitmeyer’s an advocate for the value of “soft” subjects. As a passionate advocate for the truth science seeks, he also believes those who experience a liberal arts education are best prepared to discover the truth about our world. Breitmeyer assumed his

role as president of Clatsop Community College in July. Prior to moving to Astoria, he served at Saint Charles Community College in St. Louis, Missouri, first as dean of math, science and health and then as the vice president for academic and student affairs. He started his career in education as a high school science teacher in Bloomington, Illinois and then completed a master’s degree program in zoology at Arizona State University, completing Ph.D. research in ecological genetics before accepting a position on the biology faculty at Yavapai Community College in Clarksdale, Arizona. He will defend his dissertation for the Educational Leadership Doctoral Program at the University of Nebraska this November.

Cannon Beach Library starts up NW Author Series CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Library will kick off its 2016-17 Northwest Author Series by hosting Portland author Jack Estes. He will speak at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 at the library, located at 131 N. Hemlock St. The event is free and open to the public. Estes is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran who served in Vietnam in l968 and 1969, the bloodiest years of the long war. His newest book, “A Soldier’s Son,” presents the effect of war on families both in the moment and decades later. His characters are rich and complex; battle scenes are vividly drawn. A novel set in the past and the future, it tells of fathers and sons, war and redemption, and the devastating impact of large-scale violence on both the perpetrators and the victims. “A Soldier’s Son” follows Estes’ critically acclaimed memoir “Field of Innocence,” which recounts

his experiences as an 18 year old who signs up to fight in a war he couldn’t even find on a map. He was a kid, married, broke, flunking out of college and about to become a father. The Marines seemed like a good alternative — he figured Nam couldn’t be any worse than home. He was wrong. The memoir tells how a youngster from Oregon matured in

the crucible of combat. The Northwest Authors Series is a free series offered by the Cannon Beach Library on the second Saturday of each month from October to May (excepting December). This year’s series will include: • Nov. 12: Carolyn Wood, author of the memoir “Tough Girl: An Olympian’s Journey,” will speak about how she won a gold medal at the Rome summer Olympics when she was a high school freshman, her teaching career encouraging others to write, and of her other journey, in Spain, to reclaim the 14-year-old tough girl of her youth. • Jan. 14: World famous fantasy writer and Cannon Beach’s own Terry Brooks will speak about “The Shannara Chronicles” — the books and the TV show. • Feb. 11: Barbara Drake, author of “Morning Light,” will talk about life in west-

ern Oregon’s Yamhill Valley and lessons learned from her long stint of country living. • March 11: Ellen Urbani is the author of “Landfall,” a nuanced interpretation of events around Hurricane Katrina. Urbani has also written “When I was Elena,” documentiang her life in Guatemala during that country’s civil war. • April 8: Portland mystery writer Warren Easley will speak about his books. He is the author of the Cal Claxton Mysteries: “Matter of Doubt,” “Dead Float” and his newest, “Never Look Down.” • May 13: Mindy Hardwick, author of “Sweetheart Wedding,” focuses on teen and tween books but also writes sweet contemporary romances. Hardwick also facilitates poetry workshops for teens at the Denny Youth Juvenile Justice Center and is the co-author of four anthologies of their writing.

ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will hold a second reception for the exhibit “Remnants” from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. An exhibit of photographic art made using historical processes, “Remnants” opened Sept. 10 and has been extended until Nov. 5. As photography moves forward in the 21st century and advances with modern technology, some artists have intentionally chosen to return to the roots of photography, incorporating antiquarian processes to further their artistic expression. “Remnants” includes the work of 45 photographers with 72 pieces, using over 20 different historical alternative photographic processes. Eighteen college professors of alternative photographic processes from around the world have work featured in the show. Jurors Kaden Kratzer and Nadezda Nikalova-Kratzer are modern day alchemists practicing heliograph processes of the 19th century and the handcrafting of image-objects. They live in the Bay Area of California. “For ‘Remnants,’ we wished to put together an exhibition that showcases the experimental and innovative

possibilities in antiquarian photography, while placing an emphasis on the crafting of the physical object,” Kratzer said. “The artists in this exhibition have each made a deliberate choice to step into the obscure and exciting world of analog photography in pursuit of their own artistic vision. A vision that

is distinctly contemporary and avant-garde even as it revisits the past. A vision that rises above process (for process sake): Where the artist integrates historic technology into the narrative and uses it to shape the experience of the viewer. “It is evident that artists featured in this exhibit know their craft. The investments

in time and the appreciation for the handmade photograph are palpable in each image,” Kratzer continued. “These artists are also eager to experiment in order to construct a personal vocabulary from a palette of artifacts, as a painter might. Each unique art piece embodies the tension between chance and control, entropy and order – as if reflecting on the very nature of life.” LightBox directors Michael and Chelsea Granger have held over this exhibit in order to allow more from Astoria and the Northwest to see the show. “When juror Kaden Kratzer told me that this show would never be able to happen in New York or San Francisco, that the independence and focus of our gallery allowed us to conceive and host the ‘Remnants’ exhibit, and that he had never seen such a broad and technically proficient show of alternative photography, I knew that we needed to extend this show and allow more people to see this work,” Michael Granger said. “We hope that the community will take that opportunity and come in to see this amazing exhibit.” LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive.

Scent of Apples.” Hurd started Uniontown’s Columbia River Coffee Roaster back in 1992 and was co-founder of The River Theater. Reviewers have spoken

favorably of his work. “Hurd provides moments of pathos and snapshots of humanity reminiscent of Raymond Carver,” says professional writer Holly Lorincz. Another reviewer from the University of California, Davis sums up Hurd’s work in this way: “With the crisp and telling detail and metaphor of writers like Annie Proulx and Pam Houston, Hurd holds us with his sharp revelations about the complex bonds that hold family, home, and place.” Hurd is a fourth generation Clatsop County resident whose family still lives on the original family homestead near Seaside. As stated on the back cover of Hurd’s book: Most know him as a coffee roaster who writes, but the truth is that it’s always been the other way around.

ASTORIA — Known for her evocative abstraction, native-born Astoria artist Linden brings a new collection of paintings celebrating the life of her close friend and artistic mentor, An Marie, a longtime resident of Astoria. Along with her own paintings, Linden is sharing the work of An Marie, who was a gifted artist, quietly creating but seldom sharing her renderings of the human form. This will be the first and only time the work of these two women will be exhibited together. Proceeds from sales of An Marie’s work will go to Astoria Visual Arts, a local nonprofit group supporting visual arts of which An was a founding member in 1989. The exhibition opens during Astoria’s Second Saturday Art Walk from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 and will remain on display through Nov. 8. Linden will be present and available to talk about her work, and all are invited to join in this tribute of friendship shared through creativity. For many artists, months, even years can go into preparing for a single exhibition. Most give careful thought to what they want to convey through a body of work, whether it’s technical ability to capture light and form, mastering the beauty of landscape, or a message about humanity. For Linden, her focus for this series took a sharp turn at the death of her longtime friend An Marie. As anyone who has lost someone close knows, there is a process of coming to terms with something so definite. For Linden, who is an intuitive painter, the loss had a profound impact on her creative process. She

eventually realized the only way to move forward was to incorporate her struggle of loss through painting. This series of work is a celebration of life as well as a physical manifestation of transition and stages of grief. Linden usually conveys thought and idea through abstraction, allowing her the freedom to thoroughly explore the visual language by reducing known forms to suggestion of content. For this series she incorporates memory and metaphor to provide a window of who An was. About An and her work, Linden states, “An’s art was rarely seen by the public. I was amazed at the quality and quantity of the drawings she had saved in the flat files I inherited at her passing — this body of work, just her drawings, took me three days to go through and reintroduced me to her vast talent as an artist. The work chosen to share with you here is what I consider to be an inclusive retrospective of her evolving style over the years.” About her own body of work, Linden says: “The death of my close friend and artistic mentor, An Marie, focused the ener-

gy of the paintings in this collection on the journey of an artist in transition. My profound sense of loss is reflected in these works, both in grief and in the memory of the Tao of friendship.” Within this series is the reflection of an individual’s life and travels, spiritual beliefs and interests that were cultivated over a life time. With a marked path of process, intentional by the artist, there is clear and poignant evidence of evolution from dark to light. This is a loving and personal tribute of passing and/or transition: “The Tao of An: A Journey to Peace.”

Beginning her studies at Clatsop Community College, Linden sites instructors the late Royal Nebeker and Roy Garrison as instrumental in her development as a fine artist. She continued her studies at Pacific Northwest College of Art where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts, focusing both on painting and sculpture. Relocating to the Bay Area in the late ’90s, Linden continued her career while also teaching. In Benicia, California she founded a school dedicated to the education of all fine art practices for all ages. Linden opened the school under the premise that “the innate creativity that we have as children isn’t ever really lost. It just needs to be fed so it can blossom.” The Linden Tree is still in operation today with the same mission. She has exhibited throughout the Northwest as well as further locales, including Chicago. She began her local exhibition career at the former Ricciardi Art Gallery in 1996. Some of her accomplishments include a Juror’s Award for sculpture created for the 2003 Journey’s End International Art Exhibition held at Clatsop County Heritage Museum. Her work has also been juried into the “Around Oregon” annual exhibition, in both 2014 and 2015, held at the Art Center in Corvallis. She is also proud to have her work included in the permanent collection of Clatsop Community College, Pacific Northwest College of Art and the Astoria Public Library. Imogen Gallery is located at 240 11th St. For more information, call 503-4680620 or visit www.imogen gallery.com

The Astor Street Opry Company presents Neil Simon’s romantic comedy about the ups and downs of newlywed life this October By DWIGHT CASWELL Photos by DANNEY MILLER

“Barefoot in the Park” was Neil Simon’s second play and his longest-running hit. It premiered on Broadway at the Biltmore Theater in 1963, directed by Mike Nichols and starring Elizabeth Ashley and Robert Redford as the young newlywed couple, Corie and Paul Bratter. The show ran for almost four years, and Nichols won a Tony Award for direction. Redford also played the role in the 1967 ﬁlm adaptation, opposite Jane Fonda.

WHAT MAKES THE PLAY IS NEIL SIMON’S SPIRITED DIALOGUE AND WITTY REPARTEE.

OCTOBER 6, 2016 // 11

Continued from Pg. 10 A romantic comedy, “Barefoot in the Park” opens Friday, Oct. 7 for a three-week run at Astoria’s home for comedy, the Astor Street Opry Company. The plot is a simple one, like most Simon plays (two dissimilar men become roommates; a man sublets an apartment and finds it occupied by a woman and her precocious teenage daughter, etc.). What makes the play is Simon’s spirited dialogue and witty repartee. Here is the nutshell version of “Barefoot in the Park”: Newlyweds Corie and Paul move into their first apartment. Corie is an impetuous romantic, while Paul is a conservative, even stuffy young attorney more intent on his career than on continuing the honeymoon. This leads to the obvious conflicts, complicated by a double date with Corie’s widowed mother and their eccentric neighbor, Victor (known as “The Bluebeard of 48th Street”). The couple decides to divorce. They fight over the settlement. Corie’s mother and Bluebeard find true love. Corie and Paul reconcile and promise to live happily ever after. Would that Simon had written a sequel to this improbable plot, but he didn’t. Redford will not reprise his Broadway role — he’s a little old for the part — but local favorite Ben VanOsdol plays Paul with Alicea Settlemoire as Corie. E FO O T R A B ‘ “Barefoot” has a small cast, just ARK’ five actors, which makes it IN THE P rday, Oct. 7, atu perfect for local productions.

This doesn’t seem to apply to our local talent. The Astor Street Opry Company gave Lisa Fergus, who usually directs at Cannon Beach’s Coaster Theatre, the opportunity to choose the show she would direct, and there was no doubt in her mind. She acknowledges that Mike Nichols’ are “big shoes to fill,” but, “It’s a show I have always loved,” she says. “Barefoot” is set in the 1960s, and if that were all there was to the play it would be dated, but as Fergus says, “The opposites attract relationship is a theme that is pretty timeless.” The ASOC production will have, “a different spin from the movie, a bit more true-to-life, a more modern twist” to the story line. “I was lucky to get a top-of-the-line group of actors,” Fergus says. “They are really personifying their characters. It’s fun to work with a new group, with new dynamics. I’m having the time of my life.” And so will you.

14 // COASTWEEKEND.COM Coast Weekend’s local restaurant review

Despite food court setting, some Vietnamese dishes shine Review and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

Despite its location — just past the Carousel Mall, flanked by funky T-shirt shops on Broadway in the heart of Seaside’s tourist vortex — the Saigon Deli can feel a little desolate. It’s parked in the middle of a mall-esque food court, whose bygone, un-styled, worn dining room could use a hug. The space is home to three other vendor windows, though rarely are all four open simultaneously. Sometimes anodyne pop tunes play over the stereo. Other times you could hear a pin drop or the wailing of children and cars on the street outside. While only at a few feet’s remove from Broadway, the court can feel a little lonely. Fortunately, some of Saigon Deli’s regional flavors supersede a somewhat neglected setting. Best I can tell, the deli is the North Coast eatery centered around Vietnamese cuisine. The deli also carries an array of Bubble Teas, though I focused primarily on the food. Well, that’s not entirely true. I did have a Thai Iced Tea ($4), which — compared to the Vietnamese Coffee and smoothies — had the least sugar. It was orange and milky and, while still sweet, was punctuated with herbal flora. I began with the Vermicelli ($9.50), which the counterperson described to me as something akin to a salad. While I did appreciate the newly cut veggies dotting the top of the dish, the heaping base of rice noodles were fit for a marathon runner — anything but light. I dressed them with a mild, sweet fish sauce (served on the side) and combined them with the nicely charred pork but, not needing for empty carbohydrate calories, quickly ran out of any use for the noodles. The slippery white tangle began slurping up everything else in the bowl — the peanuts, shards of cucumber and carrots, the onion, cilantro and green onions — and I

dug them out. After I’d found them all, the bowl remained three-quarters full with those squiggly noodles. In the interest of not sounding too whiny: Better to have more filler than not enough, I guess. My return trips to the Saigon Deli were somewhat fraught. One evening I arrived at 7:15 p.m. on a Thursday to find the gate shuttered. Despite the building’s posted hours (11 a.m. to 8 p.m.) I would later learn that the Saigon, which displayed no hours of its own, closed at 6 p.m. It wouldn’t be the last time I showed up to find the deli closed when it figured to be in prime time. (Info online needs to be updated too.) Without any more hemming, hawing of finger pointing — indeed there is a critical shortage of workers — I’ll just say this: The Saigon Deli is a spot for lunch, not dinner. After tracking its rhythms, I finally returned to find the lights on. This particular day was cold and rainy. I had Pho ($9.50), which warmed me through and through. But it did more than that — I was entranced with the broth, whose seasoning offered a dance with steps I have yet to encounter as the Mouth. It twinkled with anise, cloves, ginger and more. The salty, complex liquid made the rice noodles this time worth slurping up. The beef was supple — sliced wide and thin, cooked tender, peppery, just a shade over pink. Alongside the sloshing bowl came a plate of bean sprouts, slices of lime and jalapeños, and a forest of cilantro. I added the bean sprouts to the soup; they gave it crisp earthiness. A squeeze of lime opened the broth up like a springtime thaw.

SAIGON DELI

Above: Saigon Deli’s pho features a seasoned broth that will warm you up on a chilly day. Left: The Mouth devoured the Bahn Mi sandwich in no time. Below: The Vermicelli bowl is a cold salad of veggies, pork, onions, peanuts and sauce atop a heaping base of noodles.

Along the way too I tried the Rice Plate ($9.50), which I found a tad underwhelming. The chicken was reasonably well cooked, but the veggies were lacking — there weren’t nearly enough of them. I shouldn’t even consider counting the amount of cucumber and carrot shards, much less actually do so. The iceberg lettuce had no place on the plate, be it in texture or ﬂavor. Much the same can be said of the Fried Noodles ($9.50). While swapping egg noodles for the rice, this was another carb-heavy, ﬂavor-light brick that yearned for more veggies. (In such cases, I found liberal use for the housemade, fresh-ground chili paste.) The Banh Mi ($7.50), however, was a champ. The slender chunks of pork were both juicy and blackened — good barbecue. The

bread offered a similar sensation — a ﬂaky, crumbling thin crust and soft innards. With carrots, cucumber, cilantro and a creamy, mayo-like spread (it might’ve just been mayo), the ratios were right

Cranberrian Fair celebrates the local harvest ILWACO and LONG BEACH, Wash. — A celebration of the local harvest, including all things cranberry, kicks off the fall season on the Long Beach Peninsula. Foods, crafters, vendors and more will showcase the area’s rich heritage during the annual Cranberrian Fair from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 8 and 9. Collectible Cranberrian Fair buttons are $5 each and cover admission to all events at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum, located at 115 SE Lake St. in Ilwaco. The Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation and Cranberry Museum is free and located at 2907 Pioneer Road in Long Beach. As part of Cranberrian Fair activities, the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco will host a variety of vendors, offering handmade items such as pottery, jewelry, paintings, cranberry vine baskets, homemade baked goods and more. Demonstrations will be conducted by the Peninsula Rug Hookers, local fiber spinners, the Peninsula Quilt Guild, blacksmith Gary Lewis and other artists throughout the day both Saturday and Sunday at the museum. On Saturday, the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum will welcome three authors as they present readings from their recently published books, each with a cranberry connection, with book signings to follow: • James Tweedie, author of “Long Beach Short Stories: Possibly Untrue Tales from the Pacific Northwest” will keep listeners guessing until the very end. Was the body found in Cole McCrae’s cranberry bog the victim of a tragic accident or murder? What might happen if a valuable pearl was found in a Willapa Bay oyster? Come to the museum at 11 a.m. Saturday to meet Tweedie and ask him yourself. • At 1 p.m. Saturday, Michael Lemeshko, author of

Local cranberries will be sold outside the entrance to the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum.

Julia Harrison will give the talk “Ripe for the Telling: Surprising Stories of Washington Fruit” at 2 p.m. Oct. 9.

SUBMITTED PHOTO

Blacksmith Gary Lewis from Portland will demonstrate his techniques in general blacksmithing.

“The Cantankerous Farmer vs. The Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Company,” will explore the life of John Briscoe, a cantankerous farmer who served as the fifth representative for Pacific County to the Washington Territorial Legislature and as a probate judge, whose “feuds” with developers and landowners, including the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Co., were many and his legal wrangling well known. • At 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Sydney Stevens, author of “Jailhouse Stories from Early

Pacific County,” will bring true crimes to light. Hangings, lynching and jail breaks are long forgotten in Pacific County, where tourists flock to quaint attractions every season. But back in the early days, when the first jailhouse was built, this was a rough, rustic setting. The Cranberry Trolley will run between the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum and the Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday. Space is limited, and seating is on a

first-come, first-served basis. Self-guided tours of cranberry harvesting will be underway at the Pacific Coast Cranberry Research Foundation. Then, at 2 p.m. Sunday, the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum will host a special free lecture by anthropologist Julia Harrison of the Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau. Harrison will give a talk on the messy and juicy history of Washington’s produce industry in “Ripe for the Telling: Surprising Stories of Washington Fruit.” From apples to oranges, huckleberries to durian, Harrison will cover how these perishable products preserve historic events and reflect our changing relationship to the natural world. This discussion includes a large cast of characters: pioneers, entrepreneurs, orchardists, labor activists, a horticultural prodigy and Cashmere’s own “Cider King.” Full of suspense, tragedy, triumph, heroism and even some romance, this presentation will reveal some of Washington state’s juiciest stories. Beyond providing nutrition and injecting billions of dollars into Washington state’s economy, fruit connects us to the past, to the environment and to people we may never meet.

John Orr, left, and Ted Brainard make up the local duo Red Beans and Rice. Hear them perform Sunday, Oct. 9 at the Bridgewater Bistro restaurant in Astoria.

Hear local duo perform as Red Beans and Rice Ted Brainard, John Orr will play blues, swing at Bridgewater Bistro ASTORIA — Ted Brainard and John Orr will team up as the musical duo Red Beans and Rice, offering a tasty sample of Southern blues, swing and Tin Pan Alley tunes from the 1920s and 1940s. Hear the local duo perform on guitar, mandolin and violin during brunch, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9, at Bridgewater Bistro, located in Suite A at 20 Basin St. Red Beans and Rice will also perform at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 21 at the restaurant. The two musicians form a cohesive unit, moving easily from pleasant background to engaging entertainment. Red Beans and Rice’s repertoire includes “Up the Lazy River,” “Crazy about the Automobile,” “Sheik of Araby,” “I’m Confessin’,” “Blue Moon Nights,” “It Should Have Been Me,” “Basin Street Blues,” “On the Street Where You Live” and “Is You Is or Is You Ain’t My Baby.” Both Brainard and Orr are from Astoria after a life

of sampling the musical scenes of America. Orr was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, after which he traveled to Arizona, Texas and California before finally setting in Oregon. In addition to playing dobro and guitar across many styles, including lead guitar and vocals with Astoria band Acustica World Music, Orr also plays the pedal steel and lap steel guitar. Among his vocal influences, Orr counts The Beatles, Frank Sinatra, Mose Allison and Louis Prima, and his guitar influences include Django Reinhardt and Barney Kessel. Brainard was born and raised in Southern California, where he cut his teeth on the competitive studio and club scene as a young musician. He has toured extensively, both as a solo and band performer. In addition to being a familiar player on the local scene, alone and with groups like Swing Cats of Astoria, Brainard is also a nationally renowned instrument repair specialist. Brainard’s influences include Louie Jordan, Leon Redbone, Doc Watson and and Stephan Grappelli.

Film focuses on growing food Enjoy soup and swing on Sunday to host and empowering communities KALA music and dinner ‘Graining Ground’ documentary to be screened Oct. 9

ASTORIA — Industrial agriculture. Genetically engineered food. Local communities that feel powerless to affect change. “Gaining Ground,” a new feature-length documentary film by Elaine Velazquez and Barbara Bernstein, takes on these issues and challenges with its intimate view of rural and urban farmers. The film will be screened at 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 at the Columbian Theater, located at 1114 Marine Drive. The screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the filmmakers and people featured in the film. “Gaining Ground” tells personal stories of farmers making extraordinary changes in their farming practices to feed their local communities sustainably grown produce and grains. The documentary interweaves the experiences of Urban Tilth’s farmer-activists in inner city Richmond, California’s inner city food desert creating a community garden; small family Sun Gold Farm in rural Oregon converting from commodity dairy to chemical-free produce; and large Stalford Seed Farms in the Willamette Valley transitioning from growing grass seed to organic grains. As the film explores these paradigm shifts, it personalizes class, gender, race and environmental justice issues by rooting them within narratives of compelling individuals. As these stories unfold, the film explores the devastating effects of the 2012 Chevron Richmond refinery fire on Urban Tilth in inner city Richmond and the im-

pact of the 2013 discovery of GMO wheat in Eastern Oregon on Stalford Seed Farms in the Willamette Valley. While the movie is sober about the obstacles to creating change, at the same time it points the way toward hope. “Gaining Ground” instills in viewers the potential to create change on a personal, local and global scale. Filmmakers Velazquez and Bernstein have been creating film and radio documentaries for over 35 years. Their award-winning work

has been broadcast on public television and radio, screened at international film festivals and distributed through broad grassroots networks. “Gaining Ground” has been selected to be featured in the 2016 Chicago International Social Change Film Festival.

ASTORIA — KALA will welcome the quartet Swingcats of Astoria on Sunday, Oct. 9 for Soup & Swing. The evening offers an “all-you-can-eat” soup buffet — which includes bread, salad and two choices of soup — and the infectious sounds of retro swingers. Swingcats of Astoria is a revival of the original Swingcats from a few years ago. The group plays swing and jazz from the 1930s and 1940s, such as the tunes “Minnie the Moocher,” “Jump Jive” and “Choo Choo Chaboogie.” The group also presents classical jazz tunes and a bit of the blues from different eras: gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt, jazz and bebop of the ’50s, and jazz of the 1960s and ’70s as well as original compositions. Richard Thomasian performs on lead vocals and guitar. Thomasian began playing guitar at age 13. He has been

rhythm and blues in Manchester, England. Coming to America in 1962, . Aldred played around Northern California for about 30 years before retiring and moving to Astoria 10 years ago.

Enjoy the musical revue ‘Lulu’s Back in Town’ TILLAMOOK — A musical revue that pays tribute to those crazy ladies we all love — the “Lulus” — is coming to the Barn Community Playhouse stage. “Lulu’s Back in Town” is a collection of songs and entertainment that honors women who have inspired song after song since the 1920s: Miss Otis of Miss Otis Regrets, Delta Dawn, and Edie Bouvier Beale from “Grey Gardens” are just a few.

Jazz classics “Twisted” and “Doodlin’” are also on the evening’s menu. The musical revue also features songs that have been reinterpreted to take on a new, hysterical meaning. Did you ever think that the Partridge Family’s “I Think I Love You” would be interpreted from the perspective of a stalker? Get ready for more of these kinds of questions and premises. Kathy Gervasi is accom-

panying the revue on the piano, and Tillamook Association for the Performing Arts veterans Brenna Sage, Margaret Page, Julie Bucknam, Steele Fleisher and Carina Grossman will be featured in this hilarious revue. The show runs Friday and Saturday, Oct. 7, 8, 14, and15 at the Barn Community Playhouse, located on 12th and Ivy streets in Tillamook. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the show begins

Dukes of Swing to perform big band tunes for veterans CHINOOK, Wash. — Put on your dancing shoes or just come watch and listen as you join the Peninsula Association of Performing Artists at the historic Fort Columbia Theater as the group presents a concert with the Dukes of Swing. This third annual concert takes place from 5 to 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8. The theater is located in Fort Columbia State Park off U.S. Highway 101. All ages are welcome. A Discover Pass is not required to park for this event. The 18-piece Dukes of Swing band will perform authentic recreations of swing music from great big band leaders. The band specializes in Latin, fox trots, jazz, waltzes, swing and ballads. The official stage band of Elks Lodge No. 593 in Aberdeen, Washington, the Dukes of Swing has been playing dance music since 1948. During the last few years, the band has been asked to open for some big-name groups, such as Manhattan Transfer and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. In early January, the band will perform at the Governor’s Inaugural Ball in Olympia, Washington. Hors d’oeuvres and non-alcoholic refresh-

ments will be available during the event for a small donation. There will be a suggested minimum donation of $10 per person for admission with all donations directly benefiting the local American Legion chapter. The Peninsula Association of Performing Artists brings music and theater to locals and visitors on the Long Beach Peninsula. Choosing to do this concert at the Fort Columbia Theater has a special significance. Built from 1896 to 1904 as a harbor defense of the Columbia River, the

fort was constructed on the Chinook Point promontory because of the unobstructed view of the river. For the duration of three wars, Fort Columbia was a fully manned and operational coastal defense site. Declared a surplus at the end of World War II, the fort transferred to the custody of the state of Washington in 1950 and was then designated as a state park. Fort Columbia has the most intact collection of historic buildings of all Washington state parks, with 12 historic wood-frame buildings and four coastal defense batteries still standing on the premises. For more information, call Cindy Flood at 360-2712879.

Allision

[ə•li•zhən] noun

Allide [ə•lʌɪd]

verb 1. to hit against another object. 2. Maritime Law: when a moving vessel strikes a stationary or fixed object or structure, such as a bridge abutment, pier or rock formation. When a moving ship hits a stationary ship it is said to “allied” (as opposed to “collide”) and is found at fault Origin: First known use is 1615. Allision arrives from the Latin allisus, the past participle of allīdere, a verb meaning “to strike against.”

PHOTO BY EDWARD STRATTON

The Panamanian-flagged log ship Global Gold allided with Pier 1 while pulling into the Port of Astoria in October 2015 and leaked 1,100 gallons of diesel fuel from a gash on its port side.

The current (and very rare) verb form doesn’t arrive until the early 18th century. Both allide and collide can be traced further back to the Latin verb laedere, which also means “to strike,” when combined with the Latin prefixes com- (meaning “together”) and ad- (meaning “toward”). “The vessel allided with the jetty, leaving it on the rocks and stranding four crewmembers. An MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Coast

Guard Air Facility Newport rescued the crew members Saturday.”

—Edward Stratton, “Grounded boat near Newport goes missing,” The Daily Astorian, Monday, March 12, 2012

“The Coast Guard is investigating a tug and barge allision — a nautical term indicating the striking of a moving vessel against a stationary vessel that is at anchor — occurred in the Columbia River at mile 48 near Westport, Ore., at approximately 3 a.m., Thursday.”

Author Sheri Koones believes that prefabricated houses are the homes of the future. She’s written five books about them. In the new “Prefabulous Small Houses,” Koones focuses on modestly sized homes and cottages, between 350 and 2,500 square feet. “It is definitely possible to live large but on a small footprint without cramping your style or budget,” she said. Compared to the basic modular homes of a decade ago, Koones says, these prefab residences are more elegant, eco-friendly and economical. Unlike traditional, on-site home building, they can be put up in a matter of days or weeks. The book profiles 32 homes across the country, and explains some of the latest technologies.

AP: How did this book come about? KOONES: I’ve been writing about prefab construction for a long time. If you’re going to write about energy-efﬁcient, sustainable homes, it really has to be prefab. The technology has come so incredibly far in recent years. And the more I traveled and looked around, the more I saw that there was a trend toward living smaller, and focusing on travel and other things instead of pouring all your time and resources into your home. Today, almost anything that can be built on-site can be built prefab. In Japan, most of the houses are prefabricated, and in

Australia many of them are. AP: The homes featured in your book look very expensive. How economical are small, prefab homes? KOONES: Prefab houses can cost 5 to 15 percent less than an on-site built house. And we know that building prefab saves time and energy both in construction and also in terms of maintenance. AP: What design elements do these homes use to help them feel comfortable and roomy despite their diminutive size? KOONES: High ceilings, limited hallways and rooms used for multiple purposes. The emphasis is on living well as opposed to living big.
