September is a prime month to pick up fresh peppers and experiment in the kitchen Spice things up as summer’s end draws near by picking up a pack of peppers at your local farmers market. September is the prime month for every conceivable kind of this fresh fruit. Farmers markets are currently stocked with all manner of colorful varietals, ranging from the sweet to the insanely hot. A recent visit to the Astoria Sunday Market turned up a cornucopia: bell peppers, sweet Italians, hot Portugal, jalapeùos, serranos, Anaheim, paprika, pimiento, Hungarian wax, Thai bird’s-eye, bulbous little habaneros, and the list goes on. The New Mexico Hatch chile, which has attained a near-mythical reverence in Southwestern cuisine, has even made an appearance at local supermarkets as of late. If shopped right, you could try a different type of pepper for each remaining day in September.

Chiles are members of the Capsicum family. To grow, they like it hot and dry, so many of the peppers \RXœOO ¿ QG DW PDUNHW KDYH EHHQ FDUW ed in from eastern valleys of Oregon and Washington or grown under greenhouse conditions on the coast. No two varieties offer the same mouth experience, and their heat level can range from non-existent to inferno, which is measured in units on the Scoville scale. Developed in 1912 by pharmaceutical chemist Wilbur Scoville, the scale shows the versatility of this fruit, with bell and other sweets, like the pimiento, scoring a zero, while, RQ WKH RWKHU HQG WKH ¿ HU\ OLWWOH RUDQJH habanero clocks 325,000 units. To learn more about how to use peppers, Coast Weekend turned to Marco Davis, a massage therapist, co-owner of Astoria Arts Movement Center and a chef at the Columbian CafÊ, the North Coast’s long-standing experitorium

of all things spicy. Opened in 1979 by chef Uriah Husley, the Columbian is well known for its creative use of peppers — from its cayenne and jalapeĂąo table jams, to its devil’s dust and the endlessly inventive Chef’s Mercy dining experience, ZKLFK FDQ EH RUGHUHG DW Âż YH GLIIHU ent temperature levels: wimpy, mild, medium, hot or wild. Davis has been cooking the Chef’s Mercy Thursday evenings for a while. For $50 dollars a person (drinks not included), you can reVHUYH WKH Âż UVW WZR VHDWV DW WKH FRXQW er and sample everything that comes off the grill all evening long. Davis tries to never make the same mercy twice and only allows perspective mercy diners to state their food allergies and request their temperature level. “After that I will not let them order a mercy,â€? he said. “If you have control issues, it is not the dish for you.â€? A word of warning to culinary adventurers: “Wild may make you cry,â€? Davis said. “But that’s a good thing.â€?

He served it over handrolled and cooked-to-order noodles. “My mouth still waters thinking of it,â€? he said. “Add a glass of red wine, and I am rendered speechless, which is not an easy feat if you know me.â€?

According to Davis, the Colombian CafÊ’s peppers are supplied by De Asis Farm out of Wapato, Wash., which runs a weekly stand at the Astoria Sunday Market. “To add extra heat,â€? Davis said, “I use the seeds, and I put the peppers in with the garlic and oil at the EHJLQQLQJ VR WKDW WKH SHSSHU Ă€ DYRU and heat can fuse with the oil and become an added essence to each vegetable or protein it may touch.â€? “The thing to remember is that you can always add more heat,â€?

The softness of a pepper can be a sign of aging. Davis cautions that he wouldn’t necessarily throw out an old pepper but would use it in a stirfry or another cooked application instead of using it fresh — in a salad, for instance. Mold spots can also be cut out and the rest of the pepper can be salvaged.

Davis Family Pepper and Cheese Sandwich 3 to 4 green bell peppers Slices of sharp cheddar cheese Sliced bread Olive oil 1 to 2 cloves of garlic, minced Red chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper (to taste) Chop 3 to 4 green bell peppers, place in a pan of boiling water and cook until the peppers change color to a nice deep green. Strain and place in a cast iron pan that is hot with a lot of olive oil. Add minced garlic, red chili pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and sautÊ until the peppers are soft but not mushy. Allow to cool for a few minutes. Grab a few slices of your favorite bread, nice thick slices of sharp cheddar cheese. Spoon the oil and peppers on the bread, cheese on top, a bit more oil on the other slice of bread and put them together, quarter slice, and pick up and eat. Chef’s note: If oil isn’t on your chin and fingers, you are eating it wrong.

Commander Cody brings his Modern Day Ashland band Patchy Sanders plays Adrift Airmen to perform at the Liberty Theater Catch this Americana folk orchestra in Long Beach, on KMUN

ASTORIA — The Liberty Theater and Sag Productions present Commander Cody and his Modern Day Airmen in concert Friday, Sept. 19. That’s right, the Commander himself, a.k.a. George Frayne, is bringing the summer of love to Astoria. Piano, guitar, ¿ddle, sax, pedal steel guitar, bass and drums – don’t miss the experience, a true representation of American roots music. Country musician Jessica Lynne will open the show at 7 p.m., and the Commander hits the stage at 8 p.m. As always, Commander Cody himself will be behind the piano, leading the musical mayhem and controlled chaos, and sporting his legendary antics and ability to spark up even the toughest crowds. The band was ¿rst conceived in 1968, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, but arrived in San Francisco in 1969, just in time to catch the tale end of the summer of love. They were eight pieces strong, with Frayne on piano, three guitarists, ¿ddle sax, pedal steel guitar, bass and drums — out of which four sang lead. The repertoire stretched from old-time rock ‘n’ roll “20 Flight Rock,” red neck country “Truck Drivin’ Man,” boogie-woogie “Beat Me Daddy 8 to the Bar,” Cajun “Diggy Liggy Lo,” swing jazz “Smoke, Smoke, Smoke That Cigarette,” plus their self-penned party anthems “Too Much Fun,” “I’m Down to Seeds and

cals), Steve Barbuto (drums vocals), Rick Mullen (bass) and Mark Emerick (guitar vocals) and Chris “Tiny” Olson (pedal steel guitar).

The concert is sponsored by KMUN Coast Community Radio and Fulio’s Pastaria, Steakhouse and Deli. The Liberty Theater is located at 1203 Commercial St. Tickets cost $25 or $30 and are on sale at the Liberty Theater box of¿ce, open from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday and two hours before curtain; the box of¿ce phone number is 503-325-5922, ext. 55.

Eventually, they signed to Paramount Records, and the twangy “Hot Rod Lincoln” was a runaway hit, reaching the top ten in 1972. A few more tunes breached the top 40 as the band hit the concert trail, playing the legendary Fillmore Auditorium, and found itself on bills with the Grateful Dead, The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin and The Eagles. Commander Cody also backed up legends Gene Vincent, Link Wray and John Lennon. Later, the band’s 1974 album “Live From Deep in the Heart of Texas” was named as one of Rolling Stones 100 Greatest of all time.

Free and mandolin, and the album features additional mystical instruments, such as the harp, pedal organ and Swedish nyckelharpa. The group started as a 12-piece conglomeration of musicians attending a songwriter boot camp in the hills outside Ashland; the band has since consolidated into its current seven-piece formation. It’s is a true family band with sisters Danielle Aubert (banjo, harp, pennywhistle) and Jacqueline Aubert (vocals), their partners Ian Van Ornum (mandolin, bouzouki) and Dan Sherrill (guitar), and good friends Sara Wilbur (violin, viola), Eric Jones (upright bass), and Alex Patterson

(drums, percussion). While some ¿nd it easy to characterize Patchy Sanders’ music, others hesitatingly distinguish the group’s style as noir-grass, neo-folk, neo-Americana, or simply alternative. “A Patchy Sanders show is a wonderful experience ¿lled with whimsical, heartfelt singalongs with a back bone of Irish barn dance with a hint of community cafeteria rebellion!” say The Shook Twins, a Portland-based twin-sister duo. With three distinct songwriters, Patchy Sanders takes the listener to a new genre with each song. The band’s musical intention is to bridge the traditions of old into the current of today’s folk. The group has been compared to many Americana bands such as The Head and the Heart, Fleet Foxes and Joanna Newsom. Patchy Sanders’ inÀuences stem from the likes of Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, The Lumineers, Elephant Revival, Mumford & Sons and more.

Story by ANDREW TONRY

nlike so many supposed lessons proffered during high school, I’ll never forget when Ken Kesey came to class. Atop of a head as big, round and bulbous as a beach ball sat a black beret. He boomed from a barrel chest, waving ham-hock arms and enormous, meat-hook hands. His voice and his presence were heavier still. He percolated DQG ERLOHG UHG IDFHG EORRG Ă€ RZLQJ EODVWLQJ ODQ JXDJH ERWK IDPLOLDU DQG GL]]\LQJO\ Ă€ RULG He was wild and untamed. He made sense not only to our teacher, who was herself — clearly — a wise, wily outsider, but also to the faculty, who stamped approval, as well as my classmates who, by choice, sat at the front of the class with little more than SATs and striving on their minds. But Kesey made sense in the back as well, to a plucky teenage punk who preferred mostly spit and PLGGOH Âż QJHUV WR KLJK DUW I don’t remember if Kesey came in before or after we read “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest,â€? but I do know it was one of the few books that year — and

in all of high school — that I not only relished but read to the end. I remember, too, one of the opening passages. To this day it remains one of the most penetrating, dreadful and resonant as I’ve ever come across: “I’m mopping near the ward door when a key hits it from the other side and I know it’s the Big Nurse by the way the lockworks cleave to the key, soft and swift and familiar she been around locks so long.â€? But Kesey didn’t come to class that afternoon to talk about “Cuckoo’s Nest.â€? He didn’t come, either, to talk about the Merry Pranksters, acid tests or the 1960s. If I recall correctly, he performed bits from his children’s book, “Little Tricker the Squirrel Meets Big Double the Bear,â€? at the time almost a decade old. By comparison then, Kesey’s material that day was relatively square. Yet the performance — or perhaps simply the man behind it — was riveting. It showed us — or at least it showed me — that literature came from somewhere more radical than the staid, imposed approach we took in the classroom — other venue that was giving much focus to the anLW EXUVW IRUWK IURP D PRVW IHUYHQW Âż HU\ IRUFHIXO OLIH niversary of ‘Sometimes a Great Notion,’ and so it just seemed like this little, funky bookshop, with its arlier this summer, on the bench out front of history, that it would be appropriate.â€? Jupiter’s Books in Cannon Beach, shop owner As Childress sees it, the ideological knots worth Watt Childress was shooting the breeze with Matt tying were between Kesey and Billy Hults, a writer, Love, a local author who’d come for conversation musician, storied patriarch of Cannon Beach, and and to sell a few books. onetime owner of Jupiter’s Books.

Together, as writers are often wont to “I’ve got books of Billy’s that Ken signed to do, Childress and Love found threads with which to him,â€? Childress continues. “You start talking about braid the events. Ken Kesey and so many people from Oregon have a “We knew there were these convergent anniver- story, like running into him at a party, or seeing him saries,â€? says Childress. “We weren’t aware of any or hearing him speak or whatever.â€?

Watt Childress (above), owner of Jupiter’s Books in Cannon Beach, will host Revive a Great Notion, an event Saturday, Sept. 20 honoring the 25th anniversary of the bookstore, the 50th anniversary of Ken Kesey’s novel “Sometimes a Great Notion,� (right) and a special print edition of the Upper Left Edge political and literary journal. Jupiter’s Books owns a rare first edition copy of “Sometimes a Great Notion.� Kesey often signed his books with colored markers and rubber stamps, seen left. Photos by Andrew Tonry

‘You start talking about Ken Kesey and so many people from Oregon have a story.’ What unites Hults and Kesey, besides deeps roots in both Oregon and counterculture, Childress says, is the openness in which they approached art, life and people. “Both Billy and Kesey would’ve been equally adept with speaking with the Hell’s Angels,� Childress says. “Which is unique — because a lot of people (i.e. Kesey) at the graduate program at Stanford wouldn’t be. And Billy might’ve shown up with the Hell’s Angels. “The thing about Billy, the unique thing about him, is that he showed a grassroots love for music and books and the arts in general,� Childress adds. “He demonstrated that you don’t have to have money or institutional credentials to be a mover and shaker in the world of culture.

“Kesey had that same appreciation. That’s one of the things that seems so real about him — he wouldn’t exclude the hardscrabble folks from the party.�

B

uried beneath the 50th anniversary of “Sometimes a Great Notion� and 25th of Jupiter’s Books is Watt Childress’ 10th — he’s owned the shop now for a decade, the longest in a line of many owners. Childress didn’t buy Jupiter’s from Hults, though he did fall in love with the place on Hults’ watch. While visiting in-laws from Tennessee, Childress would take time out to talk with Hults, either at the bookstore or during Hults’ “vespers� at Bill’s Tavern. At the time, Hults was publishing a political rag

and literary journal, the Upper Left Edge. In Tennessee, Childress was writing a Sunday column for the local newspaper, but his more literary leanings ZHQW XQIXOÂż OOHG XQWLO +XOWV RIIHUHG WR SULQW RQH RI Childress’ more adventurous pieces.

I was grateful that he looked at it and didn’t say it was too weird or crazy. In fact, he read it and said, ‘This is great; give me more.’â€? Hults died in 2009, and shortly after, the Upper Left Edge’s presence online faded. In 2010, Childress resumed publishing duties, and in the years since, the site has renewed vibrance.

A

lso planned are dramatic readings, as well as talks from Love and John Taylor, the original founder of Jupiter’s. For his part, Childress is working on a written piece, to be published in the Upper Left Edge, about the themes of “Sometimes a Great Notion� and the mythos surrounding it. “It’s the greatest logging novel that’s ever been written,� Childress says. “I mean, it’s a great novel.� And while Childress eagerly recognizes the story’s local setting, he believes it has equal effect on those who are less familiar with the land — that it is not absolutely critical, as the novel notes repeatedly and ominously, that, “You must go through a winter to understand.� “I think it’s allegorical,� Childress says. “It’s metaphorical in the biggest sense.

s much as anything, this event, these anniversaries, are about spirit. Sure, they’re about the works. They’re about Ken Kesey, “Sometimes a Great Notion� and Jupiter’s Books, too. But they’re just as much about Billy Hults, the Upper Left Edge, and celebrating the countercultural, artistic and literary traditions still fomenting in Cannon Beach to this day. Like Kesey that day in my high school class, they’re about the lives that inspire the words — and in turn, the lives those words inspire.

FORT +GEORGE

T

BREWERY

PUBLIC HOUSE

The Fort George Brewery and Public House in Astoria really doesn’t need an introduction any longer. Its signature brews can be purchased both on tap at local restaurants as well as on store shelves, and the brewery’s renovated, historic location overlooking the Columbia River has become a tourist destination. While I have dined at Fort George a few times over the years, I had not paid the brewery a visit since it opened its upstairs dining space last summer, which has a different menu than the downstairs pub. I was admittedly most excited about one of the signature elements of the upstairs dining space wood-¿red pi]]a. Since the menu upstairs differs from the menu downstairs, I thought it only fair that I consider and sample the menu on both Àoors in order to give a complete review. Lots of food to discuss, so let’s dig right in, shall we?

Upstairs

I’m always a sucker for a good hummus platter, and the one offered here ¿t the bill nicely with Àatbread, cucumbers, feta cheese and .alamata olives. For my taste I could have used a bit more tahini (a paste made from hulled and ground sesame seeds) in the hummus, or a bit more punch in general, but the consistency was perfect. Combined with the other offerings on the plate, it was an above-average appeti]er. A Caesar salad with organic romaine, asiago Romano, and house-made dressing and croutons was surprising but tasty. I say surprising because the Caesar dressing was extraordinarily garlicky and heavily infused with lemon. Now, I love garlic and I appreciate the spiciness of it in its raw form, and I love lemon, too, but the combination of spicy and sour was a bit too overwhelming. While I might have liked it in small doses, my taste buds quickly tired of it. I will say, however, that the salad was helped tremendously by the slightly sweet house-made croutons, as well as the mellow saltiness of the cheese. Above all, I was extremely impressed with the

pi]]a. A traditionalist at heart, I chose the pepperoni with fontina, mo]]arella and provolone. The crust is usually the most important part of pi]]a for me, and the crust here lived up to my expectations with a rich, yeasty Àavor and the perfect amount of crunch. The red sauce was to my liking as well, perhaps Americani]ed with a bit of sweetness to cut the acerbic tomato. A veritable blanket of pepperoni was covering the top, and the edges of each pepperoni round were pleasantly crisp from the oven. Paired with a beer from the wide variety of signature brews, it’s a pretty unbeatable combo.

The Mouth was impressed with the Fort George Brewery’s pizza: “Paired with a beer from the wide variety of signature brews, it’s a pretty unbeatable combo.”

Meanwhile, downstairs

0y favorite pub appeti]er at Fort George is a sausage sampler platter with four varieties of sausage, a smattering of cheeses, Àatbread and caraway mustard dipping sauce. While the sausage selections often rotate and change, my favorite of those I sampled, unsurprisingly, was a French garlic sausage infused with white wine. Combined with the sweet and spicy mustard sauce, it is utterly sensational.

A falafel was quite good as well, with garban]o bean patties served on Àatbread with organic greens, beefsteak tomatoes, onions, t]at]iki, and a lemon tahini vinaigrette. There was no vinaigrette on mine, that I could tell, and I thought the t]at]iki sauce was a bit bland. The bean patties, though,

crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, were delicately spiced and the Àatbread was thick and savory, making it, overall, very tasty. I thought the burger, a third-pound of natural chuck with romaine, tomatoes, onion, aioli, Tillamook cheese and applewood-smoked bacon was somewhat average — certainly better than many burgers I’ve had locally but with room for improvement. I requested the burger to be cooked to “medium,” and it was, but the burger patty seemed dry, and it lacked m Àavor. I’m not sure what accounts for the dry texture, but it should be an easy ¿x, Must as it would be simple to add a bit more Àavor to the burger patty. I cannot conclude a review of Fort George without at least mentioning the beer, which is truly second to none. My companions and I ordered the sampler platter, which must have had nearly a do]en selections. My personal favorites are the Divinity (with a light, fruity taste) and both the Quick Wit and the Sunrise. Overall, I think Fort George is an excellent dining-out choice for many reasons — a lot of which have to do with the atmosphere and the beer — but the food deserves equal merit.

ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS: There are plenty of vegetarian options, including the falafel, veggie pizza and calzones, and a few meal-sized salads. DRINKS: Coffee, tea, soft drinks, wine, hard cider and the ever-popular Fort George signature brews.

Olney Grange holds 55th annual barbecue

OLNEY — At a meeting in 1960, the idea of a fundraiser for Olney Grange No. 793 was discussed: A barbecue beef GLQQHU 7KH ¿UVW HYHQW ZDV held in late September 1960. This year marks the 55th annual pit barbecue beef dinner served by the Olney Grange. The dinner is held on the third Sunday in September,

and this year it will be served from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 21. The fundraiser was an idea born out of a community barbecue put on by the Boy Scouts of Troop 181. Boy Scouts, Olney Teenage Club members and 4-H members have assisted the grangers over the years in this community endeavor.

The menu is much the same as in 1960: Pit-barbecued beef, baked potato, green beans, cole slaw, tomatoes, dessert and beverage. Meal prices are $12 for adults and $7 for children age 10 and younger. Meat is also available from the pit for $8.50 per pound. Proceeds from the fund-

raiser go to hall maintenance, donations to community needs and utilities. The grange is working toward a new kitchen on the PDLQ ÀRRU ZLWK SODQV IRU WKH kitchen to be available for community members to use for canning and other food preparation needs. Olney Grange is located 12 miles from Astoria at 89342 Oregon Highway 202.

Dots ‘N Doodles offers fall art workshops Entrepreneurs: Discover the soul of your business

ASTORIA — As part of its effort to support the local community, Dots ‘N Doodles Art Supplies will be offering classes, workshops, demonstrations and materials to artists throughout the Northwest region. The following is a list of the upcoming events for September. • Thursday, Sept. 18 from 4 to 6 p.m. Tim Masuelli, co-owner of Dots ‘N Doodles will teach the class Framing Process and Making Your Own Frame. Each participant will receive all the materials necessary for framing an 11-inch by 15-inch painting; students should bring their own paint. Cost is $40. • Friday, Sept. 19 from 4 to 6 p.m. Scott Gellatly, Gamblin Paints representative, will offer a 90-minute hands-on educational presentation on Gamblin oil colors that will cover aspects of oil paints, mediums and varnishes, including color theory, color wheel usage and color mixing. The goal of the presentation is to educate participants about oil

paints and to provide information that will enable attendees to create their own personalized palette. Gellatly holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Oregon and has exhibited his SDLQWLQJV WKURXJKRXW WKH 3DFLÂżF Northwest.

images on both paper and fabric using several of SolarFasts’ 14 available colors. The use of indoor light vs. outdoor light will be explored, depending on weather conditions. Cost is $10. • Saturday, Sept. 27 from 10 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 3 p.m. Trisha While, graphic artist and tangler extraordinaire, will present two sessions on “Made in the Shade with 50 Shades of Grey.â€?

Sometimes a Great Fact

Coast Weekend contributor Matt Love recently started teaching English part time at Astoria High School. After walking to school the first day on the job, he wrote his first poem in three years.

A Walk to Astoria High School

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Ken Kesey’s“Sometimes a Great Notion,� Coast Weekend contributor Matt Love has compiled some of his favorite facts and findings related to the publication of the novel.

1)Â

The novel originated from three short treatment/ fragments Kesey called “Spring Rain.� The first sentence of each reads: 1) Suddenly rain is falling. 2) The rain fell, splitting and hissing through the great stacked ranks of pine needles. 3) The rain fell.

2)Â

When SAGN was released in 1964, it received generally unfavorable reviews in the elite East Coast print publications. A New York Times critic wrote, “This monstrous book is the most insufferably pretentious and the most totally tiresome novel I have had to read in many years.�

3)Â

In an interview, Paul Newman said he bought the film rights to SAGN after reading the famous drowning-under-the-log scene in the galleys before publication.

4)Â

A friend of Kesey’s claimed the inspiration for the drowning scene derived from a childhood incident where Kesey and his cousin were rafting a fork of the McKenzie River during high flows when the raft became snagged on a downed tree and submerged partly underwater. They eventually freed themselves and floated away.

5)Â

During the legendary 1964 cross country bus trip that journalist Tom Wolfe later immortalized in the “Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test,� Kesey read excerpts from SAGN in preparation for its launch in New York City.

6)Â

One commercial fisherman in Newport claims to have read the novel 17 times. (That was in 2009.) It’s the only book he reads.

7)Â

One of SAGN’s many narrators (often unnamed and appearing within a single paragraph) is a dog.

“Meares later named the mouth indentation area of the river Deception Bay. Then, having failed to discover the river, sailed north again to his headquarters.â€? “Vancouver concluded that what Meares had called Deception Bay was just that.â€? “[Vancouver] continued northward and not far from the Strait of Juan de Fuca encountered Captain Robert Gray, commanding the ship Columbia, of Boston. Gray gave Vancouver the information that he had seen evidence of a great river about where Heceta had mentioned. When the two ships parted, Gray started south again[‌.] On May 11, 1792, he crossed the bar of the river in question, and named it after his ship.â€? —Jean Hazeltine, “The Discovery and Cartographical Recognition of Shoalwater Bay,â€?
