you winterize your garden ASTORIA — The Clatsop County Master Gardeners will present their annual Winterizing Your Garden event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1 at the Clatsop County Fairgrounds. Whether you have an acre of home garden beds or a few potted plants, winterizing properly means a healthier growing season next year. The Winterizing Your Garden event includes plant sale, lectures, demonstrations, a garden garage sale, and pH soil testing with master gardeners ready to problem solve and answer all home garden questions. At 10:30 a.m., Phil Allen and David Campiche will give the talk “Foraging Fall Mushrooms.” Allen and Campiche have years of experience chasing culinary wild mushrooms in the coastal region. Attendees will learn where to look, what to pick and how to savor them. An array of justpicked mushrooms, maps and recipes are promised. At 1:30 p.m., Jim Karnofski will present “Healthy Soils for Healthier Bodies,” a talk about soil regeneration and renewal with biological agriculture. Soil mineral balancing combined with microbe inoculants grow crops that achieve their top potential for nutrient density. This convergence of biology and technology with gardening provides tools for the home gardener to determine the minerals needed to achieve maximum soil health. Karnofski stresses paying attention to the microbial web of life in the soil to produce nutrient-rich food. An all-day plant sale will entice gardeners to expand and create. All plants are locally grown and thrive on the North Coast. Gardeners can expect to find a wide variety: everything from dahlia tubers

CLOSE TO HOME By DAVID CAMPICHE

hree men fishing in a small boat off the mouth of the Columbia River. Three sitting, one talking. Talking about a moment from the past, 40 years ago. The listeners are rapt. Back then, the days were interminably long. Helplessly adrift, 60 refugees in a boat, somewhere off South Vietnam on a big ocean — no food, no engine — prayed for survival. Pirates took it all. Left them adrift. 60 human beings were cast to the wind and tide. On day six of their epic journey — drifting, drifting — a fishing boat pulled alongside. “Here,” the sailors said, “60 small raw fish. Here, five gallons of water. Take, eat, drink.” Each of the 60 players got little better than a sip. They were all South Vietnamese, a stigma not overlooked by the North Vietnamese, the victors of decades of war against the Chinese, the French and finally the Americans. The year was 1975. By now, three foreign armies had deserted Vietnam. The fishing boat disappeared on the blue horizon. Nothing but sea. The sea and prayers. A blazing sun beat down. Hopelessly adrift, babies cried in their mothers’ arms. Mostly, they had run out of tears. On day nine, the boat grounded on a Malaysian beach. The survivors were summarily thrown into a refugee camp. It was already stuffed with suffering South Vietnamese. All were unwanted. Before the boat, there were plenty of injustices. The war was over, and retribution had just begun. Bo Tran was interned in a North Vietnam labor camp. Every day, says Bo, 10 or 15 human beings were gunned down inside the prison walls. Don’t look, he says. Don’t make eye contact with the assassins. Don’t open your mouth —that is, other than to eat a single spoiled tomato for breakfast and a cup of rice for dinner. That’s all folks. That’s all there is. For six months that was all there was. The day Bo was released — that day (How? Why?) — the man with a steely impassive face and steady brown eyes, planned his escape. A yellow boat on a great blue sea — pour family and relatives in that fragile craft. Pray to the Lord. Back in Malaysia — after the boat — the days remained bleak, until finally, there was a break. A Christian group in the United States essentially paid bail. Sixty immigrants were delivered into the greatest nation on earth, the land of the free. The same nation that had waged war on their very country for a decade and lost nearly 60,000 brave young men.

After the Vietnam War, Bo Tran, who is South Vietnamese, survived a labor camp, being helplessly adrift in a boat on the ocean, and a refugee camp before immigrating to America as a refugee. He shared his story recently with columnist David Campiche while fishing on the Columbia River.

The Viet Cong were resourceful but still sacrificed over a million people. Who ever wins at war? Bo arrived in California penniless. His first job was washing dishes for two bucks an hour. Rent devoured that. Twenty family members crowded into a small apartment. Everybody contributed. Bo eventually graduated to pantry and then to line cook. Five years later he was pulling $15 an hour as a capable chef. California dreaming, he thought. Bo bought a small house. During off hours — there weren’t many — he fixed it up. Later, he sold it. He bought a restaurant and then lost the business. Rallied again. He was becoming good at that. He put money down on a larger home, an investment for his future. Then another miracle: His Caucasian boss offered Bo a deal. “I’ll back you. I’ve made a lot of money this way.

At larger real estate. Gamble more, make more. You game?” Is the Pope Catholic? With assistance, Bo bought a four-unit apartment. Bo was on his way to the coveted American Dream. The Vietnamese man worked long hard days, seven a week, often 12 hours a day, to cover that dream. Here in American, he earned his way. His daughter, Linda, is now an attorney in a Seattle law firm, a brilliant student and high-achiever. Like her father, she blossomed like a rose. The political debate this year of 2016 remains, to say the least, contentious. Much of that debate centers around immigration and its consequences. To be or not to be? To stay or return to persecution, in some cases, torture and death. Bo and his family know reality. They know the hard ball and the long ball. And honestly, they are going nowhere outside the shores of North America. But what if they hadn’t been served a pitch to hit? What if they weren’t given a chance? America is about opportunity. You know: Grab the tail of the comet, and hang on fiercely. Ask yourself: Who built America? Wasn’t it the immigrant? Wasn’t it the English pilgrims who stole the land from Native Americans? Wasn’t it the Irish, Germans, Chinese, Japanese? And all the others. Millions and millions of others, including tens of millions of Hispanics. Indeed, huge parts of this land had been their land. They were just coming home. How about the African American? They came as slaves. They overcame immense odds. In many current situations, they are still overcoming immense odds. And who are your heroes: Jackie Robinson, Martin Luther King Jr., John F. Kennedy or Albert Einstein? Maybe, if you knew him, that person might be Bo Tran. I met this quiet capable man fishing on my brother’s fishing boat. Pirates didn’t interrupt us and steal all of our jewelry and dollars. Didn’t steal our outboard and leave us adrift for nine days. Had they, we might have lost hope. We might have suffered and died. No, it didn’t happen. We caught a few fat salmon and went home happily. Our home is America, a generous country with open arms. What do we get in exchange? We get Bo Tran and his capable daughter, and millions of strong backs and good minds that work long and hard. We get common Americans. We get brilliant Americans, physicists and teachers, doctors and nurses. You know them. They are our neighbors and our community. And we are all in that boat together.

ASTORIA — Hear tales about local spirits and ghosts at Haunted Astoria, a presentation by author Jeff Davis. The presentation will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 6 at the Astoria Public Library, located at 450 10th St. Admission is free, and all ages are welcome. Davis’ presentation will be based on his book, “Haunted Astoria,” which he first published in 2006 and revised in 2015. From the Officer’s Inn in Warrenton, which hosts spirits left

behind by former soldiers, to phantom ghost ships of the Columbia River, Astoria has accumulated many spirits and ghosts in the last 200-plus years. Come and learn more about them, and possibly share some ghost stories of your own. Davis was born in Vancouver, Washington, where he grew up playing in and around the Vancouver Barracks, cultivating his interest in the military and history. Late-night horror movies inspired his interest in ghosts, mythology and archaeology. He has written or contributed to over a dozen books on the paranormal, odd and unusual, including “Weird Washington,” “Weird Oregon,” “A Haunt-

ed Tour Guide to the Pacific Northwest,” and of course, “Haunted Astoria.” Davis spent 32 years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserves, where he served in locations worldwide including Bosnia, Italy, Japan and Korea. He earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology from Portland State University and a master’s in archaeology at the University of Sheffield, England. He worked for several years as an archaeologist for the U.S. Forest Service in the Pacific Northwest.

Bridge tournament attracts players from across the country to Seaside SEASIDE — More than 1,000 bridge players are expected to attend Seaside’s annual bridge tournament held Sept. 26 to Oct. 2 at the Seaside Civic and Convention Center. While visiting Seaside, players hope to return with more than seashells and sand dollars in their pockets; they want to earn masterpoints, the measurement of accomplishment in the world of bridge. The Seaside tournament is the largest regional tournament in the American Contract Bridge League’s District 20, which embodies all of Oregon, Northern California, Southern Washington and NW Idaho. The tournament attracts bridge players from more than 40 states; last year also saw

players from Mexico, five provinces of Canada and Sweden. The tournament began Monday evening, and play runs from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. all week until Sunday, with play beginning at 10 a.m. before the tournament ends. Duplicate bridge is played with a standard deck of 52 playing cards and four players comprised of two partnerships. The same bridge deal (a specific deal of the 52 cards in each of the four hands) is played at each table, and scoring is based on relative performance of the identical cards. When a partnership plays their hand better than the competition, they are awarded with masterpoints. The ACBL has 14 masterpoint rank titles.

The Oregon Coast Regional Bridge Tournament is sanctioned by the American Contract Bridge League. Founded in 1937, the ACBL is the largest bridge organization in the world, serving 167,000 members. A challenging and rewarding card game, bridge attracts players of all ages and walks of life — from Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to poker star Phil Gordon. Locally, you can attend a duplicate bridge game Monday through Saturday at various clubs. If you are new or returning to bridge, bridge lessons are offered periodically in the area. For more information visit seasidebridge.net or call Cindy Gould or Vern Fowler at 503-830-1979.

History & Hops starts fall series of lectures

Coaster Theatre to hold art class, show this fall

Discover the cultural history of Seaside Sept. 29

Theater calls for student art submissions

SEASIDE —The Seaside Museum is starting its new season History & Hops, a free series of local history lectures, at Seaside Brewing Co. The first lecture will take place 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29 at the brewery, located at 851 Broadway. Attendees will travel back 100 years ago, circa the early 1900s, as they skim the headlines from bygone days in Seaside to peek at the cultural history of the town and library from the early days of the 20th century. Seaside Public Library

Director and History & Hops presenter Esther Moberg will tell the saga of Seaside, from its humble beginnings as east and west Seaside, through anecdotal history and headlines from the Seaside Signal and Seaside Historical Society. One hundred years ago, the talk of the town ran the gamut from bear hunting and trash dumping to ladies’ sociable and genteel entertainment. The event will pull back the curtain on a Seaside that was a humming center of activity for the North Coast that included the library as a community hub. Moberg grew up in Astoria and has a master’s degree in library science

and a bachelor’s degree in organization administration. She has accumulated more than 16 years of experience through her work in six public, school and academic libraries. Moberg is the current vice chair of the Oregon Digital Library Consortium, which runs the library2go e-books and audiobooks

for over 100 libraries in the state of Oregon. She currently serves on the board of directors for the Clatsop Community College. She has participated in 11 half marathons and has volunteered in the past with the Extension Services Master Gardeners program in Oregon and Minnesota.

Wildlife Center of the North Coast seeks volunteers ASTORIA — Fall is considered the busy season for the Wildlife Center of the North Coast. Starving seabirds all along the coast wash up on shore as warmer ocean temperatures deplete their food sources. The wildlife center is seeking volunteers to help with bird patient care. The center also seeks volunteers to join the animal transport network set up along the coastline from Newport to Long Beach, Washington. Anyone interested in lending a helping hand can email volunteer@coastwildlife.org for more information on how to sign up. The North Coast nonprofit was founded in 1997 by Sharnelle Fee in a small mobile home trailer in Olney. It has grown into a fully functional wildlife hospital facility, with 19 outdoor enclosures and a variety of pre-release pools, that handles over 2,000 animals a year, providing care for

many injured or rehabilitating seabirds. The center aims to rehabilitate injured, sick, orphaned and displaced native wildlife with the goal of releasing healthy, viable wildlife back into the appropriate habitat. Fee died in 2015, and long-time assistant director and licensed wildlife rehabilitator Joshua Saranpaa

succeeded her as director. The Wildlife Center of the North Coast continues Fee’s mission of honoring the dignity of their patients, respecting their wildness, and returning them to their natural home as quickly as they can. “We’re working to improve our current rehabilitation techniques by being

more science-based and data-driven in the decisions we make, and want to expand our ability to rehab more patients by fixing currently unusable spaces and have plans for new, state-of-theart enclosures,” Saranpaa says. “We’ll also need to get some new equipment and add medications in order to be more self-sufficient inhouse, but it’s all a work in progress. “Our goal is to be open to the public with an education center onsite in five years’ time,” he says. “Education was very important to Sharnelle, and we would love to honor her legacy by expanding our education programs and developing a stronger community-nature partnership. A bold plan, but very exciting, too.” The center depends on donations, fundraisers and volunteers. Learn more about the Wildlife Center of the North Coast at coastwildlife.org

Bring your dog, cat, fish or bird to be blessed Oct. 1 LONG BEACH, Wash. — On Saturday, Oct.1 members of the public are invited to the annual Blessing of the Animals at the South Pacific County Humane Society. Bring your pets to the parking lot area to participate in the Blessing, which takes place at 1 p.m. Before and after the main event, head inside for light refreshments and an open house from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., where you can meet humane society volunteers and animals. The South Pacific County Humane Society is located at 330 Second St. This year’s blessing will be conducted by Rev. Richard Loop, the vicar at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. Loop will bless the shelter animals and then come outside to bless visiting animals. All socialized animals are welcome. Pets may include dogs, cats, fish and birds. Some people choose to bring photos of their pets if it is difficult for their pets to

attend the blessing. Families bring their pets to the shelter to be blessed on St. Francis’ Day because of his love for animals as expressed in his “Canticle of the Creatures.” Everyone is encouraged to take advantage of the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi as an opportunity to teach children about endangered or abused animals and what can be done to help save these animals. St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and the environment. Many celebrate the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi on Oct. 4 each year, commemorating the life of St. Francis, who was born in the 12th century. He died on Oct. 4, 1226, and Pope Gregory IX pronounced Francis of Assisi a saint in 1228. This local Blessing of the Animals event is recognized by the Washington Federation of Animal Care and Control Agencies through the Pawsitive Alliance. Donations of needed items for the humane society shelter and its animals are welcome at the Blessing event.

hose who attend “Don’t Dress for Dinner” at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse won’t have to wear formal attire, but they will have to bring an appetite for a comedy full of laughs. In this tightly written romp that resembles a Shakespearean farce, the question to be considered by the actors and the audience alike is: Who is whom when? Director Mick Alderman manages to keep the dizzying disarray of mistresses, friends, cooks and Suzis flowing smoothly. That may be because this is the third time he has encountered the play. He directed it as a readers theater for an American Association of University Women benefit in 2001 and designed the lighting for it when it was staged at the former River Theater in Astoria in 2007. “I found it hysterical,” Alderman said. “I laughed all the way through rehearsals. It keeps me laughing. In my 30 years of theater, I’ve never seen a funnier play.” A local playwright, filmmaker, actor and author, Alderman began telling stories in grade and high school when he and his friends filmed stop-motion animations with clay and action figures. In a theater class at Clatsop Community College, teacher Del Corbett taught Alderman how to design the

Bernard is also having an affair with his mistress, Suzanne, for whom Suzette was going to cook a romantic meal.

lighting for theatrical productions, and Alderman has been doing that for several years at the Coaster Theatre and other North Coast venues. As a screenwriter, Alderman wrote the scripts for several of his own films, including the supernatural thriller “Haunted Shore,” winner of the Best Narrative Feature of a Pacific Northwest Filmmaker at the

Eugene International Film Festival of 2011. Several of his own fulllength plays have been staged locally. Alderman also authored a memoir, “Three Weeks With the Goonies,” detailing his experience on the set of “The Goonies” as a guest of director Richard Donner when the movie was shot in Astoria in 1984.

The “fun part” about directing a play, Alderman said, is not having to worry about camera angles and lighting each scene, which requires so much attention when making films. “When I’m doing that, I don’t get to interact with the actors, but as a director, all I have to worry about is the acting, and that was great. We just have to tell the story.”

The story of “Don’t Dress for Dinner” takes place outside of Paris. Bernard has invited his mistress, Suzanne, to his home while his wife, Jacqueline, is away for the weekend. Bernard’s best friend, Robert — who, it turns out, is Jacqueline’s lover (unbenownst to Bernard) — also is visiting, unaware that

Continued from Pg. 10 he is to act as Bernard’s alibi for that weekend. When Jacqueline finds out that Robert is arriving, she decides to stay home, unaware of Bernard’s mistress or of her impending visit. Meanwhile, Suzette, a cook who Bernard has hired to prepare a gourmet dinner for Suzanne, also arrives. Bernard’s attempts to keep his affair secret, along with Robert’s and Jacqueline’s worries that Bernard will discover their duplicity, makes for a fast-paced frolic on stage. “It’s sort of a commentary on a lot of things,” Alderman said. It’s primarily an exploration of human nature, he added. “We’re laughing at ourselves. The situation is so absurd yet so human.” Playing the roles of Bernard and Jacqueline are Ryan Hull and Jenni Tronier, who are married to each other. Hull, who has directed and acted in plays at the Coaster, said he was a “fish out of water when it came to the circumstances Bernard faces.” “It’s been a challenge to cheat on my acting wife when it’s my real wife, which I would never think to do, except when we’re on stage. Oh my, this is complicated,” Hull said. Hull and Tronier, who works as public relations and operations manager at the Coaster, co-founded a production company and produced several plays before moving to Cannon Beach. Jean Rice plays Suzette, the cook who has to pretend she is Robert’s mistress, while the mistress, Suzanne, pretends she is the cook who can’t cook (as noted, it’s complicated). Rice says her character is the only level-headed member in the ensemble. But to prepare for the play, she had to develop two different voices and mannerisms. “I hope the audience leaves the theater wanting to see more shows because this one was a hoot!” Rice said. Also appearing in the play are Rhonda Alderman, as the mistress; and Stewart Martin, as Suzette’s husband. Local actor Jason Hussa, who plays Robert, filled in two weeks before the play opened to replace Richard Bowman, who originally was cast in the part and

“DON’T DRESS FOR DINNER,” which opened Sept. 23, runs through Oct. 22 at the Coaster Theatre Playhouse. Friday and Saturday shows start at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday matinee on Oct. 9 begins at 3 p.m. The play was written by Marc Camoletti. “It was written in French by an Italian playwright, translated for a British stage and played by a bunch of Americans,” noted Mick Alderman, who directs the play for the Coaster. Suzette’s husband, played by Stewart Martin, third from left, arrives to take his wife home.

had to drop out following a family emergency. “Casting is the key element to any play,” Alderman said. “There’s not a person involved in this play that doesn’t have at least a dozen shows behind them. They know very well what they’re doing. That’s good, since I’m not an acting teacher.” Even the stage set becomes a character in the play. All of the action occurs in a stylishly renovated barn. The kitchen is the former dairy, the dining room is the former hen house and two guest bedrooms are the old cow shed and piggery. “I wanted to go with the idea that they used everything that had been in the barn,” Alderman said. To create the ambiance, Alder-

man’s father, Jerry, gathered up 30 old pallets donated by Astoria Warehousing Inc. “He spent weeks pulling those pallets apart,” Alderman said. “There are 200 planks that make up the bulk of the walls (around the stage). “We wanted it to look like old lumber.”

Jerry, an experienced carpenter, and Kent Cloyd, from Coaster Construction, put the walls up, and Alderman stained all of them. Jerry also built sliding barn doors leading to the two bedrooms. Then, Jerry found planks that had been used as benches during an outdoor wedding at a dairy

near Alderman’s house. A few of those 30-foot-long planks were cut up to create stairs, a bar and shelves behind the bar. The set heightens the humor for the audience, a goal Alderman wants to achieve. “I just want them to laugh,” he said. “I can’t believe they won’t.”

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

Need a new lunch haunt? Try one of these. Story and photos by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

MOUTH@COASTWEEKEND.COM

As the Mouth, the great majority of my dining out is work-related. But there a handful of places I return to while I’m off the clock. The reasons I revisit are many — a particular dish I can’t get enough of, an inspired ambiance or perhaps just a really great deal. Rather than multi-course dinners, for the purposes of this week’s column we’ll stick to lunch — places I bop in and out of during the day, be it whilst running errands, meeting friends or taking a moment to myself. So, without further ado, a few of my favorite haunts — not as a critic, mind you, but simply a guy needing a bite or a place to while away.

BUOY BEER CO.

No. 1 Eighth St., Astoria Buoy’s waterfront building is one of the most engrossing, immersive indoor spaces on the North Coast. The floor-to-ceiling windows, the view of the Columbia’s mighty mouth where seals frolic and freighters slowly chug, the glass floor panels above lounging sea lions, the dining room is ever bright and bustling. Regardless of whether rain’s beating down in sheets or the sky is endlessly blue, I find Buoy tremendously invigorating. Thanks to that inside-out conversation with grandiose nature, Buoy could sell little more than nuts and gum and I’d still want to spend time there. Of course, it doesn’t hurt that Buoy has one of the better brew pub kitchens around. It does the standards with care and provides a few exciting flourishes. I particularly love the hulking yet lean bison burger. (Indeed, were bison meat ever abundant, I’d have more burgers with it than beef.) I love that Buoy serves oysters on the shell (as well as in shooters) with a presentation — on a bed of blue

rock salt — that’s right in line with the company’s sharp graphic design. I love that the kitchen is accommodating for folks with dietary needs, and I love that the brewery’s excellent beers come in 20-ounce glasses. Indeed, no matter what mood I enter with, lunch at Buoy always sends me off springing with an inquisitive sense of wonder.

CANNON BEACH HARDWARE AND PUBLIC HOUSE

1235 S. Hemlock St., Cannon Beach If I’ve got a meeting in Cannon Beach — or if I’ve just finished one — the Screw & Brew is my choice to gather or unwind. In a town that’s often overwhelmed by summertime animals, the Hardware Store provides a grounding authenticity. (You can also find hammers, nails, paint, duct tape and so on.) With regulars usually clustered around the bar, the adjacent tables are fine places to share some appetizers. I prefer the calamari, which are clean — not too greasy or chewy — and the wings. Here’s a tip I got from a local: Order the salt and pepper variation — that way the skin gets nice and crisp. If you want spicy, barbecue or spicy-barbecue sauce, get it on the side and dunk away. It’s the best of both worlds. But for when I’ve got an eye on my waistline, the Hardware Store’s hearty salads come in handy. With artichoke hearts, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, chickpeas and sunflower seeds, even the side salad makes a fine light lunch.

ROLL & BOWL

Pop-up @ Farmers Markets It hasn’t been long since I’ve written about the relatively new Roll & Bowl, but I’ve been returning as often as I can. The sushi and ramen pop-up is a regular at farmers markets up and down the coast. Each week

The salt and pepper chicken wings at Cannon Beach Hardware and Public House have crispy skin.

A veggie sushi roll by Roll and Bowl food cart.

Buttercup in Nehalem makes chowder as well as ice cream.

The beef at Kabob Cottage delights with its saffron spice.

Roll & Bowl gets better, incorporating more ﬁsh and locally sourced produce. Bell peppers in sushi? Why didn’t I think of this? And while the ramen bowls — with bone broth, plus the integral additions of duck egg and pork shoulder — are becoming more balanced, I remain ensconced by the wraps and rolls. Tuna with a zing of pickled onion? Yes, please. Smoked salmon? Bring it on. And, as the produce is of such high quality and so righteously fresh, the vegetarian options stand neck-to-neck with the omnivorous ones. As farmers market season winds down, here’s hoping that Roll & Bowl ﬁnds a winter home. Whispers say: It’s looking.

BUTTERCUP

35915 N. U.S. Hwy 101, Nehalem Since she’s collaborating with regional chefs and culinary artisans every month, it’s always worth stopping by Buttercup to see what Julie Barker is up to. Who knows? It could be something like apple pie paired with a cheddar-crusted cone. Just the same, I crave the standards. The vegan chowder is astounding, so rich

and creamy, at once elegant and vexingly elemental. The marshmallow ice cream too. I couldn’t care less for the namesake product, but Barker’s frozen interpretation makes me think twice. On a hot day or a cold one, Buttercup is a delight, both inspired and familiar.

KABOB COTTAGE

107 Third St. S.E., Long Beach, Washington By weight, saffron is more expensive than gold. And when that saffron spices the beef at Long Beach’s Kabob Cottage, you’ll experience its value — deep, delicate, almost ancient. And while there are plenty of Persian flavors you can find at the Cottage, it’s just hard to pass up the beef — be it over rice or as part of a wrap. And while I’ll continue to support the very charming first-time restaurant owner Behnoosh Ghorbani whenever I’m in Long Beach, I’m equally excited that similar flavors are now being found in Seaside at McBani. You should be too. Forget gold: Sprinkle a little saffron in your life!

SEA BREEZE

84774 U.S. Hwy 101, Seaside I know what you’re thinking: “The Sea Breeze?! You only gave that place two-and-a-half stars!” And, to a point, you’d be right — there are a lot of dull, heaping platters at the Sea Breeze I have absolutely zero interest in eating again. See: steak, deep-fried shrimp. Nonetheless, I adore the dive-y, time-warped wood panels every bit as much the burger and beer special. Announcements of the deal have since been taken off the wall, and I’m starting to fear it’s headed the way of the prospector. I hesitate to even be trumpeting it here — loose lips sink ships, as they say. But, dear reader, there’s just no better value on the coast, and the casual digs only multiplies my retro bliss. Sure, it ain’t fancy, and it ain’t ﬁne, but that don’t mean much. There’s something about a cheap burger and a Budweiser in a run-down joint on the side of the highway that makes me feel at home. And THAT’S what makes America great.

color to create a botanical illustration. Participants will learn the difference between scientific botanical illustration and expressive botanical drawing by studying various artists and leave the class with a better appreciation of native plants. Cost is $55 for museum members and $75 for non-members. On Oct. 13 and 14, take the class Northwest Native American Cedar Bark Basket. Held from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., students will

weave a small Northwest Native American cedar bark basket. Students will learn traditional Northwest plaiting, twill work, how to work with wet cedar bark, and a traditional folded rim design. The instructor will share her experience in the skill of harvesting cedar bark, processing the outer and inner bark, and preparing the bark for weaving. Cost is $45 for members and $70 for non-members. There is a $45 materials fee payable on arrival to class. All classes are held at the Barbey Maritime Center.

I’m a big fan of saving takeout food for true cravings, not convenience. Even the healthiest of eaters has a few culinary vices — for us, it’s Indian and Thai food and pizza delivery. Sometimes, we just want our favorite pizza delivered, and no homemade version will scratch the itch. Fine. But calling in an order of pad thai and dumplings just because we can’t be bothered to spend a few minutes to make our own food is a troubling slippery slope. Delivery isn’t the devil; but save it for cravings. The key to fending off the temptation to order in takeout as a convenience on a busy weeknight is to have a few easy recipes you can whip out at a moment’s notice. And, it has to be easy enough to execute, even if I don’t think of it until 5 p.m. For me, bonus points if it’s ethnic food. Since we don’t have an Indian restaurant within a 20-minute radius of my house, I’ve been recreating the flavors at home. Today’s recipe, Weeknight Chicken Masala, is a bit of a hack; not fully authentic, I’ll admit. But the spices are easy to keep on hand (and truth: if you are missing one of them, make the recipe anyway and the world will continue to spin), the recipe is fast to prepare, and it can be made totally non-spicy or loaded with whatever spice I have on hand, from sriracha to fresh serranos. Frozen chicken breasts won’t slow you down either: microwave for a minute or two until the meat is thawed enough to cut into cubes small enough to thaw quickly. I indulge in a small amount of cream added at the end, which brings a lushness that is worth the few extra grams of fat, but feel free to sub plain yogurt.

MELISSA D’ARABIAN VIA AP

Chicken tikka masala by Melissa d’Arabian.

This dish hits all the marks — flavor, easy, inexpensive, healthy and quick. Serve it over brown rice, zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice or just plain raw spinach leaves for extra nutrition. WEEKNIGHT CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA Start to finish: 1 hour Servings: 4 Marinade: 1/4 cup plain yogurt 1 tablespoon lime juice 1 teaspoon lime zest 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons fresh ginger 3 chicken breasts, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes Other ingredients: 3/4 cup chopped onion 1 tablespoon vegetable or olive oil, divided 1 tablespoon fresh ginger 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 teaspoons paprika 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg (or cinnamon) 3/4 teaspoon paprika 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional) (or dash cayenne) 1/4 cup tomato paste 1 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes 3 tablespoons heavy cream (or 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt) Chopped cilantro Lime wedges

Directions: In a medium bowl, whisk together all the marinade ingredients, and stir in the chicken cubes to coat. Let sit for at least 10 minutes or refrigerate up to a few hours. In a large heavy sauce pan, cook the onion in half the oil over medium high heat until onion begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the ginger and garlic and stir. Add in the dry spices and stir with a wooden spoon until very fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sriracha and tomato paste and cook until tomato paste has deep color and aroma, stirring, about 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick saute pan, heat the remaining oil over medium high heat and brown the chicken (remove any excess marinade). Cook the chicken on all sides until golden — it will not be fully cooked in center. Pour the chicken cubes into the bubbling sauce, add between 1/3-3/4 cup water and let it all cook together for 10 minutes, or up to 30 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat, stir in the heavy cream or yogurt and serve with chopped cilantro and lime for garnish.

Tamiasciurus douglasii

Douglas squirrel

By LYNETTE RAE MCADAMS

Although there are 265 species of squirrels in the world, the only one to inhabit the coastline of the Pacific Northwest is the Douglas squirrel. Named for the Scottish botanist and explorer David Douglas (who also has a namesake in the Douglas fir), this cheery little rodent inhabits every coniferous forest west of the Cascade mountains. Reddish-brown on top, with tan or orange-white underbellies and a white ring around the eye, it can grow to six or seven inches long, with another five to seven inches added for its bushy, animated tail. Subsisting mainly on the seeds within the cones of spruce, fir and hemlock trees, Douglas squirrels

prefer old-growth or mature second-growth forests, and their presence is a sign of a healthy woodland

BECAUSE THEY EAT ONLY ABOUT 10 PERCENT OF WHAT THEY GATHER AND HOARD, SQUIRRELS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HELPING SEED OUR FORESTS, THEIR BURIED FOOD TAKING ROOT TO BECOME ANOTHER TREE.

Douglas squirrels prefer old-growth or mature second-growth forests, and their presence is a sign of a healthy woodland ecosystem on the Pacific Northwest coast.

ecosystem. Incredibly territorial, a single squirrel will defend up to six acres of land, chattering incessantly at trespassers of every species using a distinctive, almost bird-like call that can sound a lot like a scolding. In the unlikely event that you don’t hear them, look for piles of stripped cones and cone scales on the forest floor — sure signs of a squirrel’s dinner table, and a place to which they always return. Thinking mainly about food, T. douglassi spends much of its time in the trees, plucking its favorite cones and tossing them to the ground, where they’ll be gathered later to horde in a specialized underground squirrel larder called a midden. Wanting to keep the location of the midden a secret from would-be thieves, the squirrel often only pretends to bury a cone, hoping to deceive any onlookers before scurrying away to the real cache. Because they eat only about 10 percent of what they gather and hoard, squirrels are responsible for helping seed our forests, their buried food taking root to become another tree. Squirrels communicate through voice changes and scent markings, as well as with their tails; used as a signaling device, the tail is twitched in fright to alert other squirrels of danger. When they feel especially threatened, squirrels run in a zig-zag pattern, helping them evade most predators, but usually making matters worse when it comes to cars. Depicted in the artworks of many Native American cultures, the squirrel symbolizes energy, preparation and thriftiness.
