CANNON BEACH — There will be a Harvest Festival bazaar from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29, at Cannon Beach Library, 131 N. Hemlock St. Wares for sale will include handmade items, kids’ items, holiday gifts, baked goods and

more. Proceeds will benefit the library. The library has an unusual history. It is not a government agency but an independent nonprofit library supported by donations, event fundraisers, book sales and volunteers. How did

it happen? In 1927, there were only about 50 families living in the area. A group of local women formed an informal Cannon Beach Civic Club to work on improvements such as street lighting, garbage disposal, public restrooms and a

library. Over the years the library has grown because of volunteers putting on the annual events such as the Fourth of July book sale, harvest festival and an old-fashioned Christmas tea, along with support from the community.

Story on page 12

We all learn about the Oregon Trail and Lewis and Clark; I did in grade school. But the first European navigation of the Columbia River? The shifting sand bar, the treacherous wind and current, the need for bar pilots – it wasn’t something I’d discovered until I moved to Astoria. “Legends circulated over Europe of great cities and fabulous wealth on the (Columbia) river; search was stimulated but the entrance eluded discovery.” Bruno de Heceta sighted the mouth of the Columbia in 1775, but he thought it was a bay. John Meares named Cape Disappointment in 1788 because he thought the river didn’t exist. Finally, Robert Gray navigated the bar in 1792 and entered the river. The quote above, from the 1936 map “Columbia River Entrance: Wrecks and Marine History,” is on display at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum in Ilwaco, Wash., as part of the “You are here!” exhibition. The map depicts the modern entrance of the river, and it is bordered by drawings of the mouth that span from 1775 to 1910,

expanding knowledge of the size and shape of the Earth. (For awhile, explorers even thought California was an island.) The “You are here!” exhibition at the Columbia Pacific Heritage Museum opened Sept. 14, and it offers a local stance on the importance of maps. The Long Beach Peninsula might look small hanging off the southwestern edge of Washington – but don’t let the size fool you. There’s a lot of history and complexity. The maps bring you up close: everything from navigation charts of Baker Bay

and the Columbia River to surveying equipment, topographical maps and plat maps that divide city blocks. If you visit the exhibit, check out the spectacular views of the Columbia and Willapa Bay. You’ll learn a lot about our local area – I know I did.

In the midst of this socalled digital age, millions of people continue to record their thoughts in handwritten diaries and journals. Instead of considering it anachronistic, the Oregon Historical Society encourages those who choose this medium, adding the works of these writers to its libraries. To celebrate the diarists in our midst, the Oregon Historical Society Davies Family Research Library has created the George Himes Prize for the Best Diary or Journal. Coinciding with Portland’s Wordstock festival, the Oregon Historical Society will offer two prizes for the best journals or diaries written over a period of approximately 10 months, beginning this October. The contest will be divided into two categories: junior (ages 17 and younger), with a prize of $500, and adult (ages 18 and older), with a prize of $1,000. Winners will be selected before October 2013,

and the winning writers will be invited to read selections from their work at the Oregon Historical Society and other venues. All journals and diaries submitted will become part of the library collections at the Oregon Historical Society and will be preserved as part of Oregon’s historical record. The prize is named in honor of George H. Himes (1844-1940), the first curator of the Oregon Historical Society and himself an inveterate diarist. Full contest rules and submission forms can be found on the Oregon Historical Society website at www.ohs.org/ research/library/diary- contest.cfm. Deadline for submissions is Sept. 10, 2013. A form must accompany your submission only when you have completed your work. For questions about the contest, contact the OHS Research Library at libreference@ohs.org or 503-306-5240.

‘A Week of Augusts’ in review

The cast of "A Week of Augusts," the play that is now showing at the Coaster Theatre in Cannon Beach. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Play encourages viewers to live life to the fullest

o our little corner of it at the North Coast, the world has brought another fine new playwright, New York’s N.J. Owen. Her play “A Week of Augusts” premiered at Cannon Beach’s Coaster Theatre earlier this summer, directed by Victoria Pohl. An evening performance of the play, on Saturday, Sept. 15, treated the audience to a warm, funny, thoroughly life-affirming theatre experience. The plot: Five sorority sisters gather at the Tides Inn (a small B&B) on the Jersey shore where they’ve met for years. They come not without baggage … illness, past rivalries, unsatisfying relationships and more. Yet when noon time rolls around – frequently after some fiddling with a nearby clock – the wine flows. The time these women spend together is chronicled in a deftly-balanced blend of fresh humor mixed with some, at times, painful insights. All in all, it’s pure entertainment. The characters: Director Pohl gets top-notch performances from the cast. There’s B&B owner Dot (a thoroughly likable Khris Frank). Her character is a composite of the folks who live in the small enclaves of conservatism that exist where the play is set – towns with old-time Methodist roots. Dot hasn’t been to college, but she is “good people.” Still, she can’t help grousing about the gay guy who runs the B&B next door. “Just how many colors can you paint one house?” she indignantly asks Marcie (Georgette Spelvin), her young em-

ows from our past”; 3) the importance of hope and its ephemeral nature; and 4) how we shouldn’t let other people’s expectations make our life choices for us. These complex and difficult topics are treated with great compassion and insight. When it comes to people’s expectations, especially with Marge’s character, Owen had this to say, “Everyone knows someone like that … selfless and overly concerned with not making a splash, always going with the flow.” She adds, “There are so many commonalities in our lives that bind us together. The actors would tell me, ‘I feel like you wrote this part for me,’ but that’s because we all have those qualities and eccentricities.” The idea for “A Week of Augusts” came from a trip to the Jersey shore that Owen took with her daughter, Kate. In the B&B where they stayed was a group of women who were having a week away together. Because it was a dry town, they’d camouflaged their beverage of choice – wine – in a coffee carafe and were having great fun. “I felt like I’d walked into a play,” recalls Owen. There are many reasons to see “A Week of Augusts,” not the least of which is to remind ourselves once again to savor the time we’re allotted – to make the absolute most of it. Few have said this better than the poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, whose familiar but inspiring words are read aloud by Dot in the second act: My candle burns at both ends It will not last the night; But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends It gives a lovely light.

An Astoria Brewing Company growler.

Beer has been around for a long time, probably for almost 10,000 years. Shortly after the domestication of the first cereal grains, some Neolithic person probably sampled some accidentally fermented grain and had one of the first “aha!” moments. Beer is mentioned in the written history of both ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, and the earliest known chemical evidence of barley beer – the modern standard – dates back to fourth millennium BC Iran. Beer was spread through Europe by Germanic and Celtic tribes (no surprise there), but it was some time before beer was brewed on a larger scale. It was about this time – the early ninth century – that the monasteries got involved (remember Friar Tuck?), and they made the first beer that resembled modern beer by adding hops. In 1067 Hildegard von Bingen, the Benedictine abbess and avant-garde musical composer, mentioned a beer recipe using hops, thereby establishing a firm early date for the association of beer and musicians. There are those archeologists who speculate that beer was essential in the development of civilization, but it took thousands of years for someone (Chris and Jennifer Holen of Baked Alaska restaurant, to be specific) to invent the Pacific Northwest Brew Cup. Now in its 11th year, the Brew Cup has evolved into a major event sponsored, for the first time this year, by the Astoria Downtown Historic District Association. This Friday through Sunday you can taste beers from almost 40 craft breweries in a family-friendly environment at the recently renovated Historic Train Depot. Worried about driving? The trolley has extended its hours to 10:30 p.m. Familiar breweries will be represented, like Fort George, Astoria

Brewing, Rogue and Bill’s Tavern, plus Deschutes, Pelican, Ninkasi and McMenamins Edgefield. There will also be quite a few whose brews you may not have sampled, such as Rusty Truck, Boneyard, Amnesia, Wandering Angus, Seven Brides, Three Creeks and Two Kilts. Which means a lot of good stouts, pilsners, porters, India pale ales and such to sample, and it will also be an occasion to collect clever names for beers. One of my favorites: Astoria Brewing’s “Lincoln Lager.” While the Brew Cup does not yet have a prize for the coolest beer name, there is the “Thar She Blows!” contest for the first keg to blow, not to mention the coveted “People’s Choice” award. There will also be food, of course, to wash down with all that beer, provided by mobile artisans from the Baked Alaska, Porter’s, the Astoria Co-op and Phat Burger, which pretty much covers the spectrum from healthy to maybenot-so-healthy-but-this-is-a-beer-festival. Since this is a kid-friendly event, KMUN’s Troll Radio Review,

Taste beers from almost

40 CRAFT BREWERIES including Fort George, Astoria Brewing, Rogue, Bills Tavern, Ninkasi and more

a family variety show, will be broadcast live from the Brew Cup on Saturday from 11 a.m. to noon. There will also be a special area for kids, with games provided by Astoria’s Purple Cow Toys. Not to leave the adults out, the Brew Cup will also have “sport drinking games” for the older crowd, including games like beanbags and ladder golf, alongside the live music throughout the weekend. Remember the music/beer association (or symbiosis)? There will be 14 bands or singers over the course of the festival, including a “Mystery Artist,” who may or may not be Bob Dylan. The entertainment doesn’t stop there. For the beer enthusiasts, Women Enjoying Beer will hold tasting demonstrations, and don’t you love a group with a name that says exactly what the organization is all about? Hondo’s Brew and Cork will provide support for those engaged in home brewing, meaning information and advice, and Fernhill Glass will display its beer mugs alongside the blown glass Brew Cup trophies. There’s even something for wine lovers, which includes a lot of beer lovers and a few people confused about the festival: Walnut Wine will provide wine tasting. Growler Fill Sunday has become a Brew Cup tradition. In dim and distant times, excess beer was poured out at the end of the Brew Cup, even though everyone knew this was a terrible waste. And then someone dreamed up Growler Fill Day. So on Sunday bring your growler, or buy one at the festival, and fill ’er up. By a wild coincidence, the Great Columbia Crossing, a walk/run across the Astoria Bridge, is being held on Growler Fill Day. If you plan to attend both events, it is recommended that you do the walk/run first.

Brewmaster John Dalgren checks on a batch of beer at Astoria Brewing Company and Wet Dog Cafe.

Hops like these are brewed into tasty beers, all ready for enjoyment at the Pacific Northwest Brew Cup.

ROASTED VEGETABLE SOUP It’s the last hurrah for late summer vegetables like corn, squash, eggplant and tomatoes Roasting can turn a rag-tag collander of garden gatherings into an incredibly flavorful soup, thanks to the magical caramelization process that happens in a hot oven. Tomatoes darken and char, losing moisture and concentrating flavors. Zucchini softens and sweetens. Garlic and onions transform into almost unrecognizable – but outrageously delicious – versions of themselves. It doesn’t take expertise to make a roasted vegetable soup, but a few pointers will get you started. First, pick a combination of vegetables that complement one another. Got lots of eggplant and tomatoes in your garden or on special at the supermarket? Choose what is at its peak and looks and smells best. Pair a strong flavor with a milder one. Tomatoes and squash, tomatoes and peppers, corn and yellow zucchini are all good combinations. Corn, cut from the cob, is a revelation when roasted. This technique doesn’t work well with greens or broccoli, but cauliflower is a welcome addition to any of the above combinations. Next, in a large bowl, roughly chop the vegetables into about one-inch chunks. Think about water content and density when cutting your vegetables, and combine ones with similar cooking times together. For perfect results, roast each vegetable separately. Always add onions (red are my favorite, but yellow and white are fine, too), garlic, leeks or shallots, and cut into rough, but slightly smaller pieces. Garlic can be left in whole clove form if it’s a small clove, or sliced lengthwise into a few smaller spears if larger. Toss vegetables and onions or garlic in several tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil and a generous sprinkle of sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

Make sure vegetables are evenly coated before laying out in a single layer on a baking pan that has been lined with foil. Don’t pack the veggies together, make sure they have a bit of space so the hot air can reach each piece. Bake in a 400 degree oven until some of the vegetables have begun to char slightly. About halfway through, use a spatula to scrape up and redistribute the pieces, and check back frequently. Don’t be afraid of a bit of dark brown coloring at the tips of tomatoes, corn, eggplant and squash – this is where the magic happens! The foil will make for easy cleanup. Once finished, allow the vegetables to cool for a few minutes before transferring to a food processor or blender. Be sure to scrape away all the little browned bits and transfer all the juices. Here you can choose the right texture. Puree all the vegetables for a more refined looking soup, or leave some vegetables whole or rough to give it a rustic look. Set aside a few chunks of roasted vegetables for a garnish. Then, pour the soup into a pot and bring the temperature back up gently. Add stock – homemade vegetable or chicken stock is good – and thin to the desired thickness. Don’t forget to taste and correct seasoning with salt and pepper. Soup like this tastes even better on the second day, once the flavors have begun to blend and mellow, and you’ll likely need to correct seasoning then, too. This recipe is a technique that you can experiment and play with, depending on what vegetables you have. Once you’ve made the soup once or twice, try adding a splash of cream, a dose of wine or a squeeze of fresh citrus to the soup. It’ll give it a new flavor and texture. Garnish with a fresh herb pesto, a dollop of yogurt, sour cream or creme fraiche. A bowlful of soup, pureed to one color, can always use something that contrasts visually for a little more eye appeal.

Seaside Public Library Narrowly-avoided tragedy inspired novel SEASIDE — The Friends of the Seaside Library will welcome C.L. Kraemer, author of “Shattered Tomorrows,” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4 in the Community Room. On May 7, 1981, at 10:25 p.m., in the Oregon Museum Tavern in Salem, a gunman entered and opened fire on the patrons for 10 minutes. At the end of his spree, three were dead, 20 wounded and a fourth died on the

way to the hospital. This true event is the setting for Kraemer’s novel, “Shattered Tomorrows.” In the book, Lucy Daniels has suppressed a 30-year-old memory, but a visit with an old friend from her past shakes up the thoughts surrounding the shooting. Lucy’s friend pushes her to recall the memory and learns about an incident that changed everyone in the town. Kraemer is the author of five

books. The story in “Shattered Tomorrows” is poignant for her because in real life she had been in the Oregon Museum Tavern 15 minutes before the shooting. Her spontaneous decision to leave may have saved her life. Seaside Public Library is located at 1131 Broadway.

Timberland Reads Together

Scott Cossu in concert Sept. 29

Ray Bradbury’s dystopian classic ‘Fahrenheit 451’ featured in October events

LONG BEACH, Wash. — The Peninsula Arts Center presents Windham Hill recording artist Scott Cossu, performing from 7 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29. Admission is $12 at the door. Cossu is an internationally known composer and pianist. He was one of the grandfathers of the New Age scene; he was labeled a “jazz luminary of the future” by Billboard Magazine.

PACIFIC COUNTY, Wash. — Each October, Timberland Regional Library turns reading a book into a multisensory experience. The focus of the library system’s eighth annual Timberland Reads Together program is Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.” Running Oct. 1 to Oct. 31, events include dramatic readings by Book-It Repertory Theatre of Seattle, discussions, film screenings, activities and exhibits. The events are free of charge. “Fahrenheit 451” depicts a totalitarian society where books are burned, minds numbed and original thinking suppressed. Guy Montag is a fireman in a world where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction. His job is to destroy books along with the homes in which they are hidden. The books ignite at 451 degrees Fahrenheit. Montag never questions his work, returning each day to his bland life. But then he meets an eccentric young neighbor, Clarisse, who introduces him to a past where people didn’t live in fear and to a present full of the ideas in books. When Clarisse suddenly disappears, Montag begins to question everything he has known. He starts hiding

Much of his work departs from the New Age field and includes a melodic blend of jazz, classical and ethnic influences. Cossu’s most recent CD, “Tides Between Us,” is dedicated to the Puget Sound area of Washington. The Peninsula Arts Center is located at 504 Pacific Ave. and can be reached at 360-642-2011 or visit http://peninsulaartscenter .org

books in his home. When his pilfering is discovered, the fireman has to run for his life. The first week of Timberland Reads Together coincides with Banned Books Week (Sept. 30 to Oct. 6). Events include performances of “Danger: Books!” by Seattle’s Book-It Repertory Theatre at branches throughout the Thurston, Mason, Lewis, Pacific and Grays Harbor counties. Book-It actors will present dramatic readings of controversial sections from three books that have been banned or challenged in the United States, including Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.” The group will then lead a discussion about the First Amendment and how and why books are banned. The local performance will be from 1 to 2:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 4, at Naselle Timberland Library at 4 Parpala Road. For programs in other counties of the Timberland Libraries system, visit www.TRL.org Ray Bradbury wrote his first book at age 12 and in the following eight decades, wrote hundreds of short stories, nearly 50 books, and numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays.

Trail’s End Art Center Jane Means: from the mind to the canvas to the eye GEARHART — Local artist Jane Means will be the demonstration artist during an open house at Trail’s End Art Association from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 6, just before Seaside’s First Saturday Art Walk. Refreshments will be served and the public is welcome to browse the Trail’s End gallery with its all-new exhibit for the October show, featuring photography, oil painting, acrylic, watercolors, jewelry and more. Means’ exhibit, “Of Two Minds,” will be prominently featured on the center panels in the gallery during October. Means said, “My show is about expressing two parts of my artist’s psyche. Since I began painting and drawing, I have had an interest in abstract art – both representational and nonrepresentational. I prefer to use my imagination to create motion and

emotion. However, I have a great love for pastels and base my work on what I see and what I photograph. From there, my work becomes more interpretive. Artistic license takes over. I like it when my paintings make people stop and question what the painting is trying to say.” Means was born in Chicago and raised in Southern California by parents who were artistic. Graduating from U.C.L.A, she was trained as both a high school English teacher and science teacher – a fact she attributes to perhaps developing the art of being “of two minds.” She also served as a school administrator in Southern California. When she moved to Oregon, she worked with at-risk students in Clatsop County. She went on to study conflict resolution and continues to work part-time as a domestic relations mediator for Clatsop County.

‘Lost Pioneer’ One-woman play based on lives of pioneer women MANZANITA — The centennial in 2012 of women’s suffrage in Oregon brings an opportunity to highlight the historic contribution of women to life on the rural North Oregon Coast. The occasion prompted local historian Mark Beach, of Manzanita, to study the lives of three Tillamook County pioneer women – Olive Scovell, Jenny Reeher and Marry Gerritse – who exemplify young brides moving with their husbands to homesteads in the county. Beach’s research led to a new onewoman play, “Lost Pioneer,” based on the stories of these women. Playwright Ellen West of Portland has written the script spanning the late 19th century to 1941, as the monologue’s 66-year-old character recalls episodes, people and her
