Find new artwork at White Bird Gallery Sign up for Astoria Art Deborah DeWit, Helga Winter open new solo exhibitions

CANNON BEACH — White Bird Gallery opened two new solo art exhibitions on Sept. 1. Deborah DeWit is showing new paintings in “Boundaries and Horizons,” and Helga Winter is debuting new sculptural paintings made of paper and mixed-media. DeWit will be present for an artist talk from 3 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10. The art shows run to Oct. 17. DeWit is a well-known Oregon artist whose narrative paintings often explore autobiographical subjects. The painted scenes in “Boundaries and Horizons” sustain this theme, conveying moments in time and expressing familiar human experiences. “These paintings continue my attempt to capture the essence of my experience — living on four and half acres on the edge of an estuary, surrounded by woods, bordered by the sea, in a hundred-year-old house on the North Oregon Coast,” DeWit says. “If it is possible to find all the universal truths, the elemental memories, in one place, I mean to find them here. My observations and thoughts become imagery.” DeWit’s mature painting style has developed over the course of her lengthy career, which began as a photographer in the late 1970s before she took up pastel and oil painting. DeWit now has several books published on her work, highlighting her overarching themes in photography, writing, oil painting and pastels. She

lives south of Wheeler in Tillamook County. Her current paintings are naturalistic depictions in oil that combine loose expressive brushwork and layers of paint in a realistic style to capture essential details of a time and place. Many of her paintings also suggest metaphors about the larger human experience through the interplay of indoor and outdoor environments in sensitive and thought-provoking compositions. Known throughout the Pacific Northwest for her woodturnings, Helga Winter’s newest endeavor is the creation sculptural paintings that are made from deconstructed books. Winter uses unwanted book pages — the papers are rolled, colored and waxed to form compositions where the original book’s knowledge is hidden. These mixed-media pieces are intriguing in both the reformulation of material as well as in the way they suggest the rethinking and reshaping of what has been learned, opening avenues for new truths. Winter has enjoyed a remarkable career, beginning with studies under the tutelage of master woodturners Rude Osolink and David Ellsworth. Her work is included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian American Art Museum as well as the Arrowmont School of Art and Craft. She also is honored to have been a past juror to the prestigious Art In The Pearl, an annual art fair held in the heart of Portland’s Pearl District. White Bird Gallery is located at 251 N. Hemlock St. For more information, call 503-436-2681 or visit www.whitebirdgallery.com

ASTORIA — Award-winning Portland artist Liz Walker will lead the two-day class “Marbled Paper to Finished Painting” on Thursday and Friday, Sept. 15 and 16. Starting with marbled papers, students will create a strong design and then paint with acrylic to create vibrant, energetic works of art. The workshop will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days. The cost is $160. For more information, call 503-325-4442 or e-mail astoriaartloft@gmail.com Walker was born in Pennsylvania and raised in San Antonio, Texas — a large metropolitan city infused with the culture, language, and architecture of Mexico. This experience has had a profound and positive affect on her life and influences how she chooses the colors and subject matter in her paintings. Walker was always interested in art, but a Bachelor of Arts in art from Trinity University was not a guarantee of a job. She switched fields and found financial security in a career of technical and software writing. After 10 years in the hightech world, she renewed her passion for art and left the

corporate world. Initially, Walker’s medium of choice was watercolor. But in 2005 she started painting in acrylics and in 2007 discovered acrylic marbeling, and these became her favorites. She has won numerous awards, and her paintings are in many collections around the U. S., including in Texas, Massachusetts, California, Colorado and Oregon. She has exhibited at Village Gallery of Arts and Elizabeth Lofts Gallery in Portland and Rose Spring Center for the Healing Arts in Hillsboro.

A JACK-OF-ALL-TRADES MUSIC TECHNICIAN FILLS A VOID AT COAST COMMUNITY RADIO

Story and photos by DWIGHT CASWELL

According to Graham Nystrom, his new job is actually, “five jobs in one: a mixture of IT, file management, audio engineering, electrical engineering and maintenance.” Nystrom has done all those jobs at one time or another, in one place or another, but he’s never before combined them into a single job like the one he now has: operations manager at Coast Community Radio. If you’re a listener of KMUN 91.9 FM, KTCB 89.5 FM or KCPB 90.9 FM, you may have heard occasional requests for additional support to purchase new equipment, or heard about a “major upgrade” of “broadcast computer systems and software.” Nystrom is the guy who takes it all apart and puts it back together again. He began volunteering for the station a year ago, and it soon became apparent that more than a volunteer was needed; Nystrom became a part-time employee in April and was working full time by June. For the past 16 years or so (“my whole working life”) he’s made his living as an independent contractor in what he describes as, “the music technology field.” From a foundation in studio and live recording for bands and venues, Nystrom moved to radio, becoming a technical director for Live Wire Radio and Oregon Public Broadcasting. If you look for Nystrom at work, which might mean a remote antenna site but usually means Coast Community Radio’s Tillicum House in Astoria, you might find him repairing something on a pro-

grammer’s board, but you’re more likely to find him in deep in the bowels of the studio, in the server room. “That’s where the action is,” says Nystrom. To the naked eye, though, nothing much seems to be going on. There are metal shelves stacked with boxes lit with small lights, and the web of wires connecting the boxes would confuse a spider. A cheap work light clamped to a shelf provides harsh lighting. All the action is by electrons zipping along those wires. Servers (the boxes) receive satellite feeds from public radio stations like NPR and BBC, and file servers send Coast Community Radio’s content to automation computers in the KMUN and KCPB studios. Switches flip from one source to another, and computers process the sound before sending it the Megler antenna. Nystrom comments with considerable understatement, “It’s quite a matrix of wiring and signal paths, all of which require maintenance.” If the server room wasn’t enough to keep him busy, Nystrom may be called on to engineer and/or record a program, or to produce a “spot” for an underwriter. “In the morning I think I have a full day, and then I discover that I have to fix a turntable and a microphone and record a spot, and that has to be added to the to-do list,” he says. Not that Nystrom is some kind of technology geek. He has a broad range of interests, from sailing to music. He plays piano and guitar, and he pursued a music composition degree with the initial goal of composing for films. “But my friends were playing rock

music,” he explains, “and I spent some time playing in bands.” He also discovered “the consistent paycheck was in the technical work rather than the performing side.” A few years ago, about the time Nystrom was growing tired of the independent contractor lifestyle, he made some friends in Astoria while engineering a remote broadcast for OPB. “I thought, what an amazing place to work. It has history and charm, and I love community radio.” “When I was brought on, it was understood that all the computers had to be updated,” he says. “There were a lot of 12- to 14-hour days and calls in the middle of the night.” Nonetheless, “things are beginning to coalesce, and I love what I do here, and the staff, and the amazing volunteer programmers who make it possible.”

Above: You’ll often find Graham Nystrom, the new operations manager at Coast Community Radio, in the server room of the radio station’s homebase in Astoria. “That’s where the action is,” says Nystrom.

high school and college despite his decision to pursue a degree in pharmacy. Zarling currently studies with Dr. Christopher Han and is now a fourth-year pharmacy student at the University of Montana. However, music is his first love, and Zarling’s piano adventures have led him all over the country for various competitions, festivals and national conferences. Zarling is a self-proclaimed Scrabble champion

Henderson joins novelist H.W. “Buzz” Bernard in a conversation about earthquakes, tsunamis and the Cascadia Subduction Zone. Henderson’s book “The Next Tsunami: Living on a Restless Coast” tells the story of how scientists came to understand the Cascadia Subduction Zone — a fault line off the coast that stretches from Vancouver Island, B.C., down through Cape Mendocino, California, that’s capable of producing earthquakes even larger than the 2011 Tohoku quake in Japan. Bernard’s novel “Cascadia” imagines such an earthquake and tsunami hitting a fictionalized version of Manzanita. Both authors have done extensive research on the subject. The discussion will be held at 7 p.m. Monday, Sept. 12 in the Loft at Beach Books, which is located at 616 Broadway. Henderson’s varied journalism career has included newspaper and magazine writing and editing (she is a former Sunset magazine editor), health care communications, and researching and writing interpretive signage for parks and wildlife refuges. Today she is primarily focused on exploring the intersection of the natural world and the human experience close to home. She was the recipient of a writing fellowship residency at Playa. In addition to “The Next Tsunami,” she has written “Strand: An Odyssey of Pacific Ocean Debris” and two hiking books. She is also a major contributor to “The Wild Edge: Freedom to Roam the Pacific Coast.” Henderson serves as communications coordinator for North Coast Land Conservancy and is active as a volunteer with the Coalition of Oregon Land Trusts,

Northwest Coast Trails Coalition, CoastWatch (Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition) and the Oregon Community Foundation. When she is not on the coast, she is at home in Eugene. “The Next Tsunami“ begins and ends in Seaside, arguably the Northwest town with the most to lose from an earthquake and tsunami. It focuses on meteorologist Alfred Wegener and geologist Brian Atwater as well as Seaside geologist Tom Horning and the charged intersection of science, human nature, and public policy. Born in Eugene and raised in Portland, Bernard is a best-selling, award-winning novelist. His debut novel, Eyewall, which one reviewer called a “perfect summer beach read,” was released in May 2011 and went on to become a number-one best seller in Amazon’s Kindle Store. Before becoming a novelist,

as a senior meteorologist for 13 years. Prior to that, he served as a weather officer in the U.S. Air Force for over three decades. He attained the rank of colonel and received, among other awards, the Legion of Merit. His “airborne” experiences include a mission with the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters, air drops over the Arctic Ocean and Turkey, and a stint as a weather officer aboard a Tactical Air Command airborne command post (C-135). In the past, he’s provided field support to forest fire fighting operations in the Pacific Northwest, spent a summer working on Alaska’s arctic slope, and served two tours in Vietnam. Various other jobs, both civilian and military, have taken him to Germany, Saudi Arabia and Panama. He’s a native Oregonian and attended the University of Washington in Seattle where he earned a bachelor’s degree in atmospheric science; he also studied creative writing. Released in July, Bernard’s novel “Cascadia” imagines an earthquake and tsunami hitting a fictionalized version of Manzanita. In the book, geologist Rob Elwood has studied the Cascadia Subduction Zone for years. Now he’s having repeated nightmares that the subduction zone is about to rupture, that a cataclysm is imminent. Knowing he’s placing his reputation and career at risk, he goes public with his premonitions. His warnings are met with derision and ridicule, and Rob fears he’s lost it all. But in a stunning turnabout, it’s not his career he must struggle to save, but his life and the lives of those around him.

Art and process connect in analog photography Finnish Brotherhood to ‘Remnants’ photo hold dinner, celebration exhibition opens at LightBox gallery ASTORIA — LightBox Photographic Gallery will open the exhibit “Remnants” with an artists’ reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10. Jurors Kaden Kratzer and Nadezda Nikalova-Kratzer will also give the talk “On the Edge of Avant Garde and Antiquarian Photography” at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9. In “Remnants,” original images and image objects crafted using a variety of processes from the dawn of photography are exhibited. 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. These one-of-a-kind, labor-intensive art pieces developed into a distinctive sub category, where art and process became intrinsically connected and in many instances inseparable. Many of these early processes involve archaic and often dangerous chemistry as well as surfaces such as metal and glass. This combination of alchemy and physicality

allows the viewer to not only respond to the image itself but also to the qualities of the particular process, it being an integral part of the piece. From the Bay Area of California, Nikalova-Kratzer and Kratzer are modern day alchemists practicing heliograph processes of the 19th century and the handcrafting of unique image-objects. Nikalova-Kratzer crafts lens-less photogenic drawings (photograms) on metal and glass and also works with large-format cameras and period lenses to create tintypes and ambrotypes. In addition to being featured in various publications, her work has been shown nationally and internationally and recognized with awards. In the tradition of alchemists, Kratzer is interested in antiquarian and obscure photographic processes of the 19th century. He studied photography at Stanford University, KALA Berkeley

Art Institute, Rayko Photo Center, F295, and the George Eastman Museum. He has exhibited nationally and internationally. “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,” Kratzer said. “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 paint-

er 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 Photographic Gallery continues the tradition of exhibiting photographic art created with untraditional methods. The 45 photographers featured in “Remnants” include some of the most talented artists using alternative photographic processes from around the world, resulting in a show of extraordinary works. The exhibit runs to Oct. 6. LightBox is located at 1045 Marine Drive. For more information, call 503-468-0238 or visit lightbox-photographic. com

ASTORIA — The Finnish Brotherhood will hold a celebration of Astoria’s maritime heritage with an exhibit and dinner at Suomi Hall. On Saturday, Sept. 10, the Fresh Off The Boat salmon dinner and exhibit will be offered to the public.

See the world from the point of view of Ugandan girls in ‘ZoomUganda’ photography exhibition MANZANITA — The Hoffman Center for the Arts in Manzanita will host a special photo exhibit “ZoomUganda” during the month of September. Directed by intercultural consultant Julie Resnick, the “ZoomUganda” project put cameras in the hands of a dozen Ugandan girls and had them document their lives and tell their own sto-

ries through their lenses. The exhibit will be on display in the Hoffman Center Gallery from 2 to 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, 16, 23 and 30. Resnick, a Manzanita resident, will discuss “Behind the Scenes of ZoomUganda” during a special reception at 7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16. “‘ZoomUganda’ empowered its participants to stand

in the centers of their world and show you the view from there,” said Resnick. “Viewers can see what these girls experience as significant, as sacred: chores before and after the twohour walk to school and back each day, a favorite goat, elderly relatives standing in for dearly departed parents, those parents’ many graves.”

Resnick said the project gave the girls an opportunity for further education, which is the “single most effective step a family, village and country can take to build communities, improve health conditions and foster economic growth.” She added, “Educating girls quite literally changes our world.” Resnick’s website is zoomuganda.org

His new CD, “Night Sky,” on Longbridge Recordings, is a collection of instrumentals that feature Weissman on banjo and guitar, accompanied on many cuts by Portland multi-instrumentalist Mitch Iimori (clarinet, dulcimer, English horn and oboe.) Though based in traditional Americana music, there is a “jazz attitude” to improvise within his eclectic compositional structures. The result represents the broad taste of his interests from Tunisian to Appalachian to oddly orchestral. These shows weave stories from the book with Weissman’s instrumentals and songs.

ART BUSINESSES

1. Imogen Gallery 240 11th St. Diane Kingzett of Portland brings the new series of oil paintings “Bury The Hatchet, Stars Are Falling” for her second solo show at Imogen. A painter of emotion, Kingzett leaves preconceived ideas of content and composition to consider her own internal dialogue, allowing psyche to become muse. For this series she explores issues of turmoil, from both a personal and global perspective. The work echoes her response to conflict and hopes to find ways to move beyond. It invites viewers to lay down “old relics and bones of interference so we may see the beauty that is offered whether we are available to grasp it or not,” she says. “A movement toward peace over turmoil.” 2. RiverSea Gallery 1160 Commercial St. In “Primary Practice: Exploring Color,” Astoria artist Robert Paulmenn offers a collection of new paintings in a wide-ranging show that delves into portraiture, figure study, still life and landscape. Paulmenn is excited to paint the figure and to “capture the subtle shift of color and emotional energy that each person brings to a painting.” He is also moved by the ever-changing quality of light in the North Coast landscape. However, the common thread in his work is a limited palette, which challenges him to think of color in new ways. Showing in the Alcove is “The Reliquary Project,” assemblage sculpture by Charles Schweigert with accompanying poems by Karin Temple, who will give a reading at 4 p.m. Schweigert’s work expands the notion of the reliquary to include a container for holding the remains of

something dear or something that cannot be contained. Each vessel is constructed with copper wire and found metal objects that have a patina of age. Though the sculptures appear to be long-buried artifacts, their themes relate to contemporary Northwest environmental issues. This is a farewell show for Schweigert, an Astoria resident for the past seven years who is moving to Massachusetts. 3. Old Town Framing Co. 1287 Commercial St. Old Town Framing will welcome Rod Nichols back for art walk. He has been painting new work like a mad fiend, in between cooking, cleaning and food webbing. Drop by, meet Nichols and see his new work. 4. Tempo Gallery 1271 Commercial St. Tempo Gallery will feature “River Life,” a collection of paintings of fisher folk, fish and boats on the Columbia River by artist Phyllis Taylor, who continues to pursue her fascination with both the river and the ocean. Taylor will be present during art walk. Refreshments will be served.

5. KALA 1017 Marine Drive KALA presents two artists this month. Paul Soriano’s figurative paintings are rich in color, fused with aspects of nature and often elegant expressions in erotica. Soriano, a life long painter who grew up in New York, eventually moved west to open Cock Gallery in Portland. Soriano’s works are plays on the quantum universe. The process begins with a 45-minute meditation; paint is then randomly applied to the chosen surface. The resulting field becomes analogous of the universe. Multidisciplinary artist Sergei Khlopoff, aka SM@ck, shows new acrylic paintings and drawings on paper and select acrylic on canvas pieces from his “Alternate Evolutions” series, previously exhibited at the former Mark Woolley Gallery. SM@cK, who lives and primarily works in Portland, explores various media such as acrylic painting, watercolors, drawings, video and animation in his pursuit to define an autonomous voice and to examine interactions with ourselves and with local and global environments. 6. Astoria Art Loft 106 Third St. Ellen Zimet’s marbled and tie-dye paintings show what experimenting with different techniques and materials can produce. Also see the paintings of the Palette Puddlers painting group and other art loft resident artists from 3 to 6 p.m.

ABOUT The Pacific Northwest prepares for a banner harvest of its favorite fruit this fall Story and photos by LYNETTE RAE McADAMS

Above: A lone apple tree overlooks Willapa Bay in Oysterville, Washington, on the Long Beach Peninsula. Top: An organic Gala apple grown in the state of Washington, the leading commercial apple producer in the nation. This year, the Washington State Tree Fruit Association forecasts a harvest of 132.9 million standard 40-pound boxes of fresh crop apples — a harvest that’s up 15 percent compared to 2015.

t was the gift of a golden apple that launched the thousand ships that sailed for Troy. In Old Norse tales, apples were offered to the gods in exchange for everlasting youthfulness. William Tell split one once, in a famous feat of fatherly marksmanship, and even Issac Newton felt entirely inspired the day he realized the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. We use them to express care or adoration (as in an apple for a teacher); but also as a taunt or a narcissistic jeer (“How do you like them

Ingredients 1 cup old-fashioned oats 1/2 cup flour 1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional) 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon, divided 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup maple syrup 1/4 cup melted butter 4 large apples, peeled, cored and chopped (5 to 6 cups) 1/4 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup orange liqueur (or juice) Directions

“Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.” — Martin Luther

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Raymond Millner, co-owner of The Planter Box, a nursery and garden center in Long Beach, Washington, stands beside a Wynoochee Early apple tree — a variety that does well in our coastal climate.

In a mixing bowl, toss together the oats, flour, nuts, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and salt. Add the maple syrup and melted butter. Mix until combined. Set aside. In a small sauce pan, add dried cranberries to orange liqueur and warm over low heat until berries plump slightly. In a separate bowl, lightly toss the apples with the rehydrated cranberries (juice too) and the remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Spread in a greased 8-by8-inch pan, then sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the top. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden and crisp, with apples at the desired tenderness. Serve immediately or let cool and refrigerate up to three days.

More than 2,500 varieties of apples are grown in the U.S., but only a handful make it to the supermarket every year. If you’re looking for something special, try a local farmers market or, better yet, grow a tree of your own.

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

Workingman’s watering hole serves up hearty fare Photos and Review by MOUTH OF THE COLUMBIA

MOUTH@ COASTWEEKEND.COM

“These are the tales of the rough and tumble life that is Astoria’s history and folklore,” concludes the Portway tavern’s back-of-menu biography. And indeed, the nearly 100-year-old saloon, just off Pier 1, revels in a grit and grind — where the Wild West collides with the surly barnacles of the docks. Located just south of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, the Portway was built in 1923 by Victor Jarvinen. Living above, Jarvinen started serving in 1925. In 1931 he turned the business over to Paul, his son, who operated the pub until 1984, and whose spirit remains today. According to the menu, “Portway Paul” was a “successful professional boxer” who “ran tabs for nearly everybody and would always buy the house a round whenever anyone would pay off his tab.” Tall and unsavory tales abound: a trap door in the floor, underage drinking, a fight club and, perhaps, a brothel upstairs. Myth has it that Paul’s ghost continues to haunts the joint. Operating today, presumably, in greater accordance with the law, the Portway retains its odor as a workingman’s watering hole. It is dark, heavy, wooden and worn, littered with memorabilia, particularly orange lifebuoys and, at times, crammed full of dock workers wearing XtraTufs. On my first visit there loads of men, all of similar age, dress and physique. A near total absence of women pronounced their likeness. At one point I counted some 22 men and one woman — well, two counting the bartender. She did her best to handle the thirsty onslaught, though the crowd drank collectively faster than she could mix and pour (and serve and buss and cash lotto tickets). With hardly an empty seat in the joint, it took almost 30 minutes before I got to order. “They got to

get you some help,” I told the perpetually moving bartender. “That’s what I keep telling the boss,” she said, mid-stride. The kitchen was far less burdened than the bar. My food appeared in a ﬂash. From the list of mostly deep fried appetizers I went with the Deep Fried Cheese Ravioli ($7.25). I ﬁgured: I’d never had deep-fried ravioli before, and we all know poppers, mozzarella sticks and calamari. As the ravioli appeared my jaw dropped: There were but six modestly sized squares. Essentially mozzarella sticks in different shape, only more dough and less cheese, they amounted to over a dollar per square. I was aghast — a scant, lame ripoff. I wondered if I’d made a mistake: that the Portway was just a place to drink. The side-salad presaging my burger began to dispel that notion. After the crummy ravioli I expected a bowl of lifeless iceberg lettuce and maybe an out-of-season tomato. I was happily proven wrong with a robust mix of spring greens.

The Bacon Bleu Cheese Burger ($11) came open faced, the grilled onions, mushrooms and bacon charred, twinkling, sparkling with shiny grease. My arteries quivered, but my god, when I chomped down on the hulking thing I felt like the bypass would be worth it. It was a drippy, salty, gooey, delicious mess. The bacon was thick with crunch, the onions sweetly caramelized, the mushrooms earthy, all with the pang of blue cheese. It was an excellent, hand-formed, old-school bar burger. The Portway’s hard-working clientele, I surmised, wouldn’t suffer anything less. Under that hypothesis, I ﬁgured that no one ever ordered the Tuna Melt ($8.25), because it — like the raviolis — was pitifully puny. The whole slice of toasted sourdough was not much bigger than a half sandwich. Worse was the cheese — it wasn’t melted at all. It was, rather, sweaty. Though the essence of the sandwich died there, the chunky, sweet pickles were a questionable inclusion.

By this time the crowd had thinned considerably. I’d arrived at 8 p.m., finding the only empty table in the place. By 9 p.m., there were but a few remaining straggles. When the karaoke jockey finished setting up and started to sing (the Portway offers karaoke Wednesday through Saturday) she hadn’t much of an audience, and no takers stepped up to the mic. I returned on a Friday afternoon around 4 p.m. and was served promptly. I had the Fish & Chips ($18.75), which were served on a faux newspaper, a corny historical nod I enjoyed. While spendy and not impressively sized — somewhat similar to chicken wings and drumsticks — the four pieces of beer-battered halibut were outstanding. The whitefish — moist, clean and lean — was encased in a crust that was paper thin, salty and golden brown. Tuna Melt notwithstanding, I again guessed — or, rather, hoped — that, even if it weren’t sourced daily off the docks, guys who worked in close proximity

to fish wouldn’t tolerate inferior product. But then, while we’re guessing, I figured the Portway was a place where folks were as likely to order red meat as anything. So I tried the Steak Sandwich ($12.75). The 7-ounce New York strip almost seemed larger, over an inch thick and poking out the ends of the hoagie roll. Though more medium than medium-rare, it was juicy and mostly free of gristle. The grilled mushrooms and onions weren’t charred like on the burger, but the onions were still sweetly caramelized. Here was a big, simple, beefy sandwich that worked. It felt right at home. I could imagine Portway Paul chomping down on one — after a fight, a late-night game of cards, or another grueling shift.

Citizenship ceremony to be held North Coast Chorale seeks new singers NASELLE, Wash. — A naturalization ceremony for new U.S. citizens will be held at 1 p.m. Friday, Sept. 16 at the Knappton Cove Heritage Center. The event is open to the public. The ceremony will be held outdoors beneath a large tent with a reception to follow. The heritage center, located three miles upriver from the north side of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, is the site of a historic U.S. Public

Health Quarantine Station that acted as the Columbia River’s “Ellis Island” from 1899 to 1938. The hospital was used to quarantine immigrants carrying diseases such as smallpox, cholera, typhus and more. The site was selected for the event by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for its Pacific Northwest immigration history. The ceremony will include a U.S. Coast Guard color guard and speakers

from the U.S. Public Health Service and the National Park Service. The Knappton Cove Heritage Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of the historic quarantine station, a National Historic Site. The heritage center is located at 521 Washington State Route 401. For more information, email thecove@theoregonshore.com or visit knapptoncoveheritagecenter.org

ASTORIA — The North Coast Chorale is gearing up for the fall season. This year, rehearsals began on Sept. 6 and continue each Tuesday evening from 6:45 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Clatsop Community College Performing Arts Center, which is located at the corner of 16th Street and Franklin Avenue. In true holiday tradition, the chorale will again collaborate with the Astoria Christian Church to raise money for local food banks by hosting the annual “Messiah Singa-

long/Playalong” on Nov. 27. In December, the choir will perform its winter concert, and its spring concert is set for May. All concerts will take place at the CCC Performing Arts Center. With all these opportunities to entertain, the North Coast Chorale is in recruiting mode, looking for singers in all four parts: soprano, alto, tenor and bass. No auditions are necessary — just come and see what fun it is to learn new choral skills and perform for

the community. Additionally, if you are a student at CCC, you could be earning credits while you sing as a member of the chorale. The class is listed online as MUS 134-E1. The chorale also welcome singers with strong voices in sixth through 12th grades. For more information, contact North Coast Chorale Director Denise Reed at 503-338-8403 or Cheryl, the choir’s president, at 503-7915681.

Do you remember Whizkey Stik?

Astoria hard rock band finds new fans nearly four decades later By ANDREW TONRY

The rediscovery of seemingly long-lost music is becoming increasingly common in the internet age. Most celebrated, perhaps, is the saga of Rodriguez. The Detroit musician’s albums, first released in the 1970s, gained near legendary acclaim in South Africa without his knowing. Obfuscated by derelict management, fans abroad thought Rodriguez was dead. He was, in fact, working construction, having long since left the music industry. The reconnection of Rodriguez to that audience is chronicled in the Academy Award-winning documentary “Searching for Sugarman.” New fans — many yet to be born at the time of the record’s re-release — quickly followed. While less epic in scale, a similar story has roots Astoria. And though they never developed legions of fans, the members of Whizkey Stik are edified just the same. “After 36 years I’m finally getting my album made,” chuckles Carl McLaughlin, Whizkey Stik’s singer, guitarist and principal songwriter. It wasn’t for lack of interest. The progressive, arching, hard rock foursome — which included Mark Bugas on bass, John Police on drums and Terry Duoos on Hammond organ — sniffed success. In 1980 they signed a management deal and flirted with executives from Arista Records. As a newspaper headline from a 1980 Seaside Signal reads: “local boys close to making good.”

Whizkey Stik began in the mid-’70s. The group began playing exclusively covers, performing at high schools, Christmas parties and so on. “After a couple of years we were like: ‘We aren’t going to get anywhere if we don’t start doing original music,’” McLaughlin says. “I had all these song ideas, and we said, ‘Let’s do it!’” Taking a hiatus from performing live, the group decamped to their rehearsal space — a large outbuilding atop the hill at 520 40th St. The front was occupied by Duoos’ family’s construction business. In the back, the band went to work, writing and recording with reelto-reel tape machines. From those sessions, Whizkey Stik sent a song to Portland radio station KGON, which featured the band on a compilation album. Shortly after, the band was included in another compilation, of the burgeoning heavy metal genre. Whizkey Stik’s contributions to those collections, presumably, are what caught the ear of some totemic music executives. “After those two (compilations) somehow, Clive Davis, he had heard about us and he requested a demo tape,” says McLaughlin. “That never happens. Ever.” The band obliged, and the tape found its way to John David Kalodner, another storied A&R exec, who sent manager Butch Stone to see Whiskey Stik perform. At the time, though, the band had hardly any local following. “In Astoria we felt like outsiders,” McLaughlin says. There wasn’t much

of a music scene at the time, he adds, and no one was doing what they were — a Deep Purple-inspired fusion of psychedelic and progressive rock plus the serrated guitars that presaged heavy metal, and the soaring, melodic vocals of hair metal. When the group did play, locally, they experienced fissures with the jukebox. “Disco was all the rage,” McLaughlin remembers. “We’d get off the stage, and the jukebox would kick on and it’d be disco. It was like, how do you transition? It’s hard to compete. People like to dance. I just felt out of place.” So, for the showcase with Kalodner, the band would perform in its practice space. “They flew to Oregon and we met ‘em at the airport and we drove all the way to Astoria and we auditioned for them,” McLaughlin says. “It went really well. It went by really fast. We played nine original songs.” “There wasn’t a whole bunch of talk,” McLaughlin adds. “(Stone) was a pretty quiet guy. We ended up signing a management contract.” But, instead of some high-profile gigs, a tour or time in professional studio, Whizkey Stik received mostly silence. As McLaughlin tells it, Stone was more interested in him and drummer John Police than Whizkey Stik at large.

He wanted to use them for other projects. Having spent his formative musical development with the band, McLaughlin was upset by the suggestion. As the management contract bore no fruit, the band eventually wriggled free of it. But soon after, life got in the way. “Very, very quickly, we were all married,” McLaughlin says. “And by ‘83 all but one of us had a kid. There’s this conceit that we had almost made it and then naturally falling into the lifecycle of the married person and having children and all the responsibilities.” Though the members continued to convene a few times a year, just to jam and have fun, the ambition dried up. In a sense, Whizkey Stik was gone, and mostly forgotten — until a trio of archivists came knocking. James R. Beach, Brian Naron and J.D. Sutton were in the midst of writing a book, “Rusted Metal,” a chronicle of the Northwest’s heavy metal music, and they stumbled upon Whizkey Stik. “I thought it was cool that they were gonna do a book on the subject and wanted to know about us,” McLaughlin says. “I’m a 61-year-old young man — who woulda thought? I thought it was really cool.” The writers came to Astoria to do an interview and were taken aback when they heard Whizkey Stik’s

long-buried demo tapes. “We played him our music,” McLaughlin says. “He was like, ‘Where can you get a hold of it?’ I said it’s never been released. He said: ‘You’re (kidding) me. We’re going to do something about that.’” And so, in tandem with the release of the book this September, NW Metalworx will offer LPs and CDs from Whizkey Stik. The album, “On the Level,” is available in black vinyl and magenta vinyl as well as CD. The band plans to perform at release shows in Portland and Seattle this fall, though they will be without keyboardist Terry Duoos, who passed away in March 2012 — before the music was rediscovered. “The album has a pretty significant dedication to him,” McLauglin says.

“And certainly the bio that I wrote. It stressed a lot of kudos, gratitude to him.” Approaching the performances, McLaughlin is excited and seemingly undaunted — he’s been playing and performing, albeit in other styles, ever since. As for the record, he’s just glad it’s finally seeing the light of day — and that, in the internet age, it should be preserved. “It’s pretty neat to think that your music really has the capacity to potentially last forever,” McLaughlin says. “Many, many years after you’re gone it could still be there somewhere and hopefully it will be.” Whizkey Stik will hold a record signing at 3 p.m. Sept. 17 at Metal Head Records, located at 1126 Marine Drive in Astoria.

Judging by the foot traffic alone, making the public wait still has its advantages: The place was already packed after just opening at 5 p.m. The dining room has been thoroughly renovated with a careful eye toward the building’s Art Deco past. The space feels refined but not restrictive, and the atmosphere was pleasantly loud and jovial. Much of the floorplan has been dedicated to a new, large, horseshoe-shaped and marble-topped bar that dominates the view from the restaurant’s entrance. And, of course, with a new bar comes a new bar menu. The drink menu was created by bar manager Laura Cherau — though curated may be a better word to describe her approach. Cherau admitted that many of the signature cocktails that landed on the menu are culled from the most memorable cocktails she has encountered in her travels on this earth. The Rye Witch finds its depth through the chemistry of mixing rye whiskey with sherry — a combination that doesn’t immediately come to mind, but

as both the spirit and the fortified wine find their character while being aged in oak barrels, they actually end up being fast friends when poured into a glass together. The addition of Strega, an Italian herbal liqueur heavy on the orange, plays into the sherry’s sweetness, and what you get is a complex new take on the Old Fashioned, one that is sure to comfort the soul on nights of heavy autumn rain.
